Chapter 195: Sword Marks
readx;? Since some people had already walked through this mountain road yesterday, they were familiar with the road at this time, and climbed all the way to the heights, along the way accompanied by the gurgling stream in front of Yuewan Village, which turned out to be the birthplace of this stream was Silent Hill.

After turning two bends, the terrain gradually became steeper, and a huge mountain with dense trees appeared in front of everyone, because it was early spring, and only some of the trees had sprouted, so there was only a mottled light green that exuded luxuriant vitality. But apart from this budding vitality, the entire mountain range is dead silent, without the sound or sign of beasts, birds, snakes, and rats.
The higher you go, the lower the temperature, the signs of life at the base of the mountain have gradually disappeared, and even small areas of snow have gradually appeared on the shady side of the hillside.
Looking at the towering mountain in front of them, the team members who participated in this kind of mission for the first time couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts.
Of all the people, the only one who feels normal is probably the historian Freeman, who probably has some experience, so he is not surprised, but comforts everyone:
"Obviously, this monument is not ordinary, and what is hidden inside has enough power and majesty for all animals to choose to avoid, and the more this happens, the more valuable our mission will be. ”
The higher the risk, the greater the benefit, this seems to be an eternal truth, but at this time, everyone is thinking about the unknown things that may be encountered on this trip, and they are indifferent.
"When our ancestors fled here, they chose to live here because they saw that this mountain and its surroundings could hide from the attacks of monsters and wild beasts. We have lived here for more than 400 years, and it is this mountain that has always guarded our tranquility and allowed us to live here in peace. ”
Uncle Alba's words carried respect for Silent Hill, but also a trust, this trust made the members of the team feel a lot more relaxed, after all, a mountain has been standing here for an unknown number of thousands of years, and it has not shown any dangerous qualities in the last four hundred years, which shows that it is not very dangerous, at least on the surface, and it is not aggressive.
The group climbed up the hill while thinking, and when they got closer, they realized that the shape of the mountain was different, because they found that the mountain peak was not isolated, and on the other side of the mountain, there was a slightly smaller peak, and there was only a narrow rock crack between the two peaks, as if the two peaks were one in the past, and then they were cut in two with a huge opening sword.
"This is it!"
Freeman said, holding the map in his hand, pointing to the location of the monuments on the map. At this time, he walked at the front of the line, leading the group towards the rift.
It wasn't until the crack was in front of the crack that everyone realized that the crack was far more towering and magnificent than when viewed below, from the bottom of the crack to the top of the mountain, there were hundreds of steps, but the width was less than ten steps, so walking at the bottom of the crack and looking up, the sky immediately became a line, based on it, making people have a feeling of natural creation and ghostly workmanship.
"We call this place the sword mark locally, and it is said that in ancient times, there was a great battle between the gods here, and the great sword of the god of war struck this mountain, leaving this miracle. ”
Based on the stories passed down from generation to generation by his elders, Alba told the expedition team about the origin of the first line of heaven.
"How much steel does it take to forge such a big sword?"
Kelly's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the glimmer of heaven that was hundreds of steps long.
"The sword of the god of war is not necessarily a real sword, haven't you heard of the paladin's condensation into a spear? The paladin is just the incarnation of the god of war in the human world, it is already so powerful, if the god of war uses condensation into a sword, it seems that it is not surprising that it has such power. ”
Andre has been by Felicia's side for the past few days, and he has hardly left except for resting at night, so when he heard Kelly's question, he couldn't help but answer.
The first line of heaven is a north-south mountain rock crack perpendicular to the ground, so every day only at noon, when the sun is in the middle of the day, there is a moment when the sunlight can directly shine to the bottom of the crack, and the time when the entrance gate of the monument is opened according to ancient books is at noon.
The crowd put their sycophants and travel supplies on the outside, and then took the necessary equipment for the adventure, and followed the historian Freeman in a long line, all the while walking like a crack, the light inside became dimmer and dimmer, and gradually only an arc-shaped crack above the head was still bright.
When he reached the middle of the first line of heaven, Freeman, who was taking the lead, stopped.
"It's already very close to the entrance to the monument, so let's stop here, there is still some time before the gate opens, you can look for the traces of the entrance on your own, and if you can find it, it can save us some time for our follow-up actions." The two of you have worked hard all the way, and now you can go back. ”
Freeman's last two words were addressed to Uncle Alba and Bai Lanxue, after all, although this operation did not involve imperial secrets, it was not suitable for unrelated personnel to participate, so he politely issued an eviction order.
With that, Freeman had already begun to search along the rock wall, and most of the others were involved, looking for the location of the gate from their own perspective. Although the map shows the location of the gate of the monument, it is only an approximation, and the direction and form of the gate are not stated, so this also aroused the curiosity of the group.
"This is your reward. ”
Head Huo Yining took out five gold coins and stuffed them to Bai Lanxue, Bai Lanxue was originally ready to refuse, but Alan also persuaded her to accept it, so she was not polite.
"Girl, let's go back!"
Uncle Alba greeted Bai Lanxue and prepared to turn around and go down the mountain.
"Uncle, you go back first, I'll wait, maybe they still need help. ”
Bai Lanxue replied to Uncle Alba's words, but her eyes looked at Allen, but Allen's attention at this time was the same as everyone else's, they all stepped on the dead grass under their feet and searched for traces of the gate of the monument near the rock wall.
"Well, the mountains here are steep. When you go down the mountain, pay more attention to your step. ”
Uncle Alba admonished, and then left with the stick in his hand, there were not even wild beasts near Silent Hill, so it was not dangerous to leave Bai Lanxue alone to go back alone.
Time passed minute by minute, although everyone's search was fruitless, but the sun had gradually moved westward to the middle of the sky, and a dazzling sunlight had penetrated the crack on the top of the mountain, and continued to extend downward, getting closer and closer to the bottom of the valley.
At this time, everyone, including Freeman, suddenly became more nervous than ever, because everyone felt that the moment the sun shone down was the moment when the gate of the monument was opened, that is, the most crucial moment of their trip.
"No, we're ignoring one thing. ”
Alan said suddenly.
