Chapter 184: Kunlun Skylight
After this avalanche, the mountain spirits seem to know how to take care of us and stop singing loudly. We remounted our horses and, under their guidance, continued our march towards Kunlun Ruins.
Towards the end of the afternoon, when the sun was about to set and had not yet set, we really arrived at the huge ice field of Lu Ming. The place really looks like it is frozen by a huge lake, as far as the eye can see, and it is spectacular in the sun.
The mountain spirits began to chirp something again, and after a while, Hu Qiniang probably understood, and said to us: "I can't get in now, I can't see the Kunlun light until the night, and I can only find the Kunlun ruins by following the guidance of the light."
In this case, we simply set up camp on the edge of the ice field, put on all the equipment and lay down to rest.
Maybe I had been thinking about the Kunlun Ruins, but I dreamed again in my dream that King Linzang had asked me to do the same, and I woke up, and my mind was still very clear.
I felt that I would not be able to sleep for a while, so I simply crept up and got out of the tent.
Outside the tent there was still Buddha Hui and those mountain spirits. When Buddha Hui heard my movements, he asked me without looking back: "I'm watching, I will call you when the light appears, go back and rest." β
I walked over to him and sat down and asked, "Why don't you sleep?" I'm awake anyway, or I'll change you, and you can go in and rest for a while. β
He smiled: "No, come to me, it makes no difference if you sleep more and sleep less." If you can't sleep, just sit here and watch the view. β
He reminded me, "yes, can you see things in the dark?" β
He nodded: "Yes, but we are different, the Nightmare Illusion Bead in your body is used by you to see things, and I rely on the ability to cultivate." β
"I haven't told you about this, how do you know that I have a Nightmare Bead in my body?"
"It's on you, ordinary people may not be able to see it, but to me it's like the clothes you wear on your body."
"How many things do you have? I remember the hand you held back the monster in Hell. And you dare to contradict King Ming, can you bear it. β
"I don't have much ability, but I'm a little more daring than you."
He said this lightly, but I was really surprised, when did I learn to be witty? Is this a satire on my fear of hell?
We looked at the empty space in the distance for a while, and I said to him, "To be honest, I often think that it would be nice to go back to the first time we met and not let these things happen later." It's not for you, it's just for Xiao Fang. β
Buddha Hui was silent. After a while: "Things in the world, how much they are doomed, how much can be changed, if you can see through these, you won't be attached to that time." β
I was just about to ask him to make the language of the god stick easier to understand, when the mountain spirits suddenly became agitated, and Buddha Hui's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Over there!" β
I followed his gaze and looked around, only to see that in the distance, yellow and green, blue and white, and a cloud of aurora appeared, unpredictable.
"Don't be stunned, tell them to get up, let's go." Buddha Wisdom.
I hurriedly got into the tent and called Ye Lin'an and Yuan Shan up. Hearing that Kunlun Guang appeared, they also hurriedly rushed out of the tent.
Without further ado, we hurriedly followed the mountain spirits in the direction of Kunlunguang. When the mountain spirits saw the light, it was as if they had seen something delicious, and they screamed as they rushed over as fast as they could. Only Fo Hui and Hu Qi Niang's speed can catch up.
A few of us who are good at dragging our feet still rode on the talisman horse, which was not an ordinary thing after all, and there was no slippage on the smooth ice. The ice is very solid and rock-hard, so you don't have to worry about riding a horse and crushing the ice and causing us to fall into the ice hole.
If I were a bystander, I would have thought it was very strange, on the ice under the aurora borealis, a group of strange-looking mountain spirits were screaming and running like crazy, followed by a man and a woman, and a man riding a horse in hot pursuit.
Finally, after running a long distance on the ice field, we finally reached the other edge of the ice field, which is also the source of the Kunlun light - sure enough, if we hadn't followed this light at night, we couldn't have found the direction at all.
Is this Kunlun Ruins? I saw light coming out of a hole, straight out. It seems that the formation of this light is very different from the aurora, it is something else in the cave, but it is very suitable for the appearance of a holy place.
The mountain spirits were so happy that they rushed into the cave without any qualms, and a few of us met at the entrance of the cave, and the others must have felt that it must be unusual in this light.
"How's that, go in? The light looks pretty dazzling. "I asked the big guys.
"Let's go, the mountain spirit has entered, and the Dark Sect may also have entered, we shouldn't have a problem going in." Yuan Shan.
"Okay, let's go, I'll go ahead, all hearts, those people are not good." Ye Lin'an.
So, our group walked to the hole that spewed out various colors of light, Ye Lin'an was the first, for his safety, Fo Hui was the second, I was the third, Hu Qiniang was the fourth, and Yuan Shan's was the second.
The entrance to the cave is diagonally downward, there are no steps, it is the cave floor, but the slope is just right for us not to slide down.
After hesitating for a moment at the entrance of the cave, the mountain spirits seemed to have run deep into it, and only a faint croaking sound could be heard. It made me let my guard down even more, they were fine when they went in, how could we be okay?
After we actually came in, the light was softer than we imagined, not particularly dazzling, but helped us light the way down. I wonder how it is possible that there is a place where the mountain spirits eat in such a place where the sun does not see the sun.
After coming down, there was only one road, and there was no fork in the road, and after walking far, the voices of the mountain spirits became clear again. When we got closer, we found that we were lying on the ice around the cave and gnawing on it.
"Look at these mountain spirits who are so thirsty that they all start to snort with popsicles." I want to liven things up. But after that, I realized that something was wrong, how could this ice have color? I'm pretty sure it's not the color of the light.
"Brother, this is not ice, this is jade!" Yuan Shan.
That's right, this color, this texture, it seems that it can only be jade! Judging by their expressions, it seems that I am the only one who has not noticed this just now. Am I too focused on the road?
After a closer look, I found that these jade stones are the source of light colors, including blue, green, yellow and white. I looked back, completely stupid, on the way in, the cave walls and the soles of our feet were more or less jade, but the place where the mountain spirits ate was the richest after entering. The delicious food of the mountain spirits, isn't this it? They make a living by gnawing on this? But it seems to be logical, mountain spirits, it's not strange to eat some mountain rocks.
I think it's far from the end of the jade mine, and it's an inexhaustible source for the mountain spirits.
"There is so much jade here, it seems that this cave is the source of the Kunlun jade vein." Yuan Shan.
Kunlun jade... It was discovered and mined as early as the Yin Shang period. The source of the jade mine... If this place is known by businessmen or developers, it will be a big windfall, right?
I looked around and asked him, "The color is there, but where does the light come from?" It's like the light that comes out of the jade. Could it be that someone has a healing cage in it? β
"I think there is probably fluorite, and the white absorbs some of the light, and at night it shines through the jade, and the color changes. Okay, it doesn't matter, let's go, they've found what they're looking for, let's do our thing. "Ye Lin'an.
That's the case, but I still don't think it should be fluorite, first, it's hard to get in the light here, and secondly, the light that comes out is too strong, and it can shine on it, is this really what fluorite can do?
But whether it is fluorite or jade that shines on its own, it has great economic value. Tomb robbers don't need to rob tombs, come here to dig a fist-sized fluorite and go out to find a skilled craftsman carved into a night pearl is enough to feed yourself. If it's jade that glows on its own, it could be... It's a spiritual thing, and it's even more valuable. After thinking about it, I secretly laughed that I was falling more and more into clichΓ©s.
The group of us continued to walk towards the interior of the cave, and the deeper the light became, and after staying in this kind of place for a long time, it was as if we were really in a fairyland, very sacred. For a few moments, I really hope that the wedding with Xiao Fang can be put here to enter the school, but I probably won't come in for the second time in this life.
After walking down for a long time, in the middle of the colorful jade cave wall, there was a cave with a slightly lower height, and there, the light seemed to stop abruptly.
The curvature of this hole has obvious traces of artificiality at a glance! Could it be that this is the entrance to Kunlun Ruins?
When we came to the entrance of the cave, we looked at each other, and the hole was curved, and there was no way to get a glimpse of what was going on inside.
"It's all here, let's go in." Ye Lin'an.
"I'll be the first one this time." Buddha Hui has already stepped forward inward, without waiting for us to respond.
It stands to reason that there must be no problem for him to go first, but Ye Lin'an was a little embarrassed and wanted to fight with him for a while, but seeing that he had already walked in, he did it.
The cave outside goes all the way to the end, but this cave is very tortuous, and there are man-made steps on the ground. It seems that there really are people here who once lived. My heart is pounding, is the Kunlun Ruins in the cross really here? What happens when we go in?
