The rest of our lives after the catastrophe made us no longer as cautious as before, and we had no intention of staying away from this place, in fact, no one had the strength to get up, so we lit a fire behind the passage, ate some dry food, and rested for the night, and I still wrote down what happened to me before I went to bed.

The next day, we were kicked awake by Han Jin, who was ready to urge us to move on.

"I'm in such a hurry to die." I got up and smiled faintly.

Han Jin stood there and didn't speak, his expression was very gloomy, for a person like him who was greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for the three of us who still had the value of use, it was estimated that he would have run away alone.

In front of it is a very high staircase, and from a distance, there is an erected icicle at the end of the staircase, leading to the top of the ice palace, and it seems that this place is not far from the Golden Gate.

We packed up our things and started to walk on, the only thing that gave us a little sense of security was that we had an extra gun in our hands, and Tian Ji found seven grenades in the bags of the two people who had been shot into hedgehogs.

"I have half a magazine of bullets left, and if I encounter anything again, I can't do anything." Tian Ji joked as he walked. "If it really comes to the end, let's die together, I pulled the grenade to make a good time."

"Can you think of something good?" I gave him a blank look.

"That's it, don't say frustrating words, others can go out, and so can we." Gong Jue said.

"It's not cost-effective, I have traveled so far to find such a magnificent palace, and I still hope that there are some treasures in it, but I haven't even seen a piece of broken iron, let alone gold and silver jewelry." Tian Ji is a philistine when he mentions money. "Anyway, the gold bars and gold bars from the last time haven't been sold yet, if you know this, it's better to sell them and enjoy them for a few days."

"I don't think you can expect to find any gold or silver jewelry here." I said with a smile.

"Why?" Tian Ji asked eagerly.

"The Kunlun Golden Gate was built too long, about before the Xia Dynasty, and even after a long time, copper coins appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and the circulation of gold and silver was to the Warring States Period, and before that, the most valuable thing was the shell coin, that is, the shell." I looked at the field pheasant with a serious tilt of my head, gloating and smiling. "At that time, gold and silver were not good, and you might be able to find a lot of shells in this ice palace."

"Shells!?" Tian Ji was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, and his face was very ugly. "Damn, I knew I was going to run out of bronze, so it's still bronze."

We chatted and walked up, and finally walked up the steps, and then looked up in shock, a huge icicle stood in front of us, and there was no end to the spiral of the steps that spiraled upwards above, like an ice tower that reached the sky.

According to the construction structure of Kunlun Jinque, this icicle should be the core pillar of the entire Ice Palace, and the palace lord said that he should be able to rest assured that he should be able to rest assured that the place of the core pillar will not be set up in this place, because he is worried that the mechanism will destroy the firmness of the pillar, so he can rest assured to go boldly.

But Han Jin didn't take it lightly, and still let us go ahead, I glanced at Han Jin meaningfully: "The icicle is so high, it's easy to fall if you're not careful, you're so afraid of death, but be careful." ”

Han Jin silently pulled the bolt of the gun, meaning to warn me, he let us go ahead for two reasons, in addition to preventing there from being on the road, he was more worried that we would shoot in the back, with his character, he would never let us hold something that could threaten his safety, but there were too many dangers lurking in this ice palace, and Han Jin was not sure that he could cope with the gun in his hand alone.

I still walked in front with a faint smile, Gong Jue and Han Yu followed, Han Jin's preoccupied vigilance followed closely, the spiral steps on the icicle were outside, not only steep but also very narrow, I didn't pay attention at the beginning, the more I went up, the more I felt that my legs were weak, the icicles were too high in the absence of any protective measures, it was like standing on the edge of a cliff, and if I was not careful, I would fall, and the result of falling from such a high place was self-evident.

Especially for people with a fear of heights like Tian Ji, every step up on this icicle is torment, when I look back at him, Tian Ji tilts his head inside, his eyes are almost closed, he doesn't dare to look down at all, and his feet tremble violently on the icicle.

I haven't seen the field chicken afraid of being like this, I put my head out to look down, I have been walking for almost a day, there is no place to rest on the icicle, except for a short time to sit down and rest, the only thing to do is to climb up in one go, where we are now can no longer see below, the dim light swallows the icicle, looking down like a bottomless abyss.

"The light is too dim, it's too dangerous to go up like this, take out the ropes, tie everyone around their waists, and take care of each other in case something happens." I turned around and said.

Gong Jue took out the rope and tied it to his body according to what I said, of course Han Jin couldn't ask for it, and now he is left alone, watching out for us anytime and anywhere, after tying it, we are like grasshoppers on a rope, no one can escape.

After tying it up, I continued to walk forward, I looked up and still couldn't see the end of the icicle, the body was overdrawn, I saw that the field chicken was really not good, stopped and let him rest for a while, glanced at Han Jin at the back, and looked tired enough, but he still held the gun tightly in his hand, his expression did not relax at all, he looked up and looked at me from below, his eyes were full of cunning vigilance.

"You go in front with the field chicken, and I will stare at him in the back, to see that if his legs are weak like this, he will fall down." I turned back and said to the palace lord in the back.

The width of the steps was large enough for two people to fit in, and when I walked past him, he was more nervous than me, and his body shook like a sieve.

"It's good to have a little bit of fun." I patted him on the shoulder, Tian Ji squatted on the ground softly, and Gong Jue and I shook our heads and smiled bitterly.

"Hurry up, don't bother." Han Jin urged sharply from behind.

"What's the panic, hurry up to reincarnate." I replied either hot or cold.

The ice palace at night was unusually cold, and the flashlight reflected a dazzling light on the ice, and the circle circled upward, making people dizzy.

"Tian Ji, give me the kettle, I'm so thirsty." After walking for an hour, I said to the field chicken in front of me.

Tian Ji was almost walking in the corner of the palace lord's clothes in front of the bridge along the way, and handed over the kettle with a trembling hand: "You still drink water when it's so cold." ”

I smiled and didn't speak, unscrewed the water and drank a few sips, turned around and handed it to Han Jin, he shook his head with a gloomy face, I ignored it, took out the mountaineering shovel and handed it over again: "You are at the back, in case you slip, you will have to affect all of us, take this just in case." ”

"No, you don't." Han Jin replied resolutely.

He knew that he would not ask for it, for Han Jin, the gun would always give him a sense of security than the mountaineering shovel, I still ignored it, turned around and took the mountaineering shovel in my hand.

"Look!" Gong Jue said excitedly in front. "It's almost the top."

"It's finally over, if you can go back, you don't want gold bars and gold eyes, it's all mine, I will live ten years less with this icicle." The chicken's teeth bumped.

Gong Jue and I laughed happily, Gong Jue quickened his pace in front, Tian Ji kept urging him to slow down, and I quietly took out a knife to cut the rope tied to Tian Ji on my body.

I didn't take a few steps before I heard the sound of stumbling behind me, followed by Han Jin's exclamation, I hurriedly lifted the mountaineering shovel and inserted it into the icicle heavily, and then I felt that Han Jin's weight was pulled behind me, and the whole person slipped down the steps, fortunately I was still holding the mountaineering shovel, and Han Jin was already suspended in the bottomless mid-air.

Tian Ji and Gong Jue replied in a panic, seeing that the rope tied together was broken, Tian Ji rushed over desperately even if his legs were trembling, grabbed my hand, and he and Gong Jue pulled me up with difficulty.

Han Jin and I were tied together, and now they were still hanging outside shaky, the gun in his hand had fallen, and he was clutching the rope with both hands, his face showing panic, and he kept shouting to pull him up.

"How did you cut the rope?" Gong Jue asked.

"My own business, I don't want to bother you." I sat on the steps and gasped.

Tian Ji seemed to realize something, and his flashlight shone on the steps behind me, which were wet and full of water: "You pour water on the steps......"

Han Jin stared at me in horror when he heard this: "You want to harm me!" ”

I have been quietly pouring water on the ground since I took the kettle, the ice surface was already slippery, and the water droplets fell on it to be even more slippery, I deliberately gave the mountaineering shovel to Han Jin, knowing that he would not ask for it, but he would not be suspicious when I held it in my hand.

"Now I'm going to tell you what the rules are." I asked Tian Ji for a knife and put it on the rope around my waist, and when I first met Han Jin, he said the same thing to me, and I repeated what he said in the same tone. "The rules are set by people, here I am the rules, and now the rules are, what I ask, what you answer, if you don't answer or answer wrong, I will ......"

While saying this, I cut a knife in the rope to remind Han Jin of the consequences.

"If you dare to kill me, they won't let you go when you go out." Han Jin shouted arrogantly below.

"Looks like you still don't understand the rules." I cut again, and the rope was cut open. "More than 30 people who came in died, and you are not one of them, there are only four of us in this ice and snow, who will know what happened inside."

When Han Jin saw that I was really coming, he immediately panicked, and his tone became timid: "Whatever you want to ask, I'll just answer." ”

"Who is the gold owner?" I asked grimly.

"I don't know." Han Jin replied very simply.

I cut it very simply, but Han Jin scolded hysterically below, saying that he really didn't know who the gold owner was, he had only seen the gold master but didn't know what it was called and what it was, he only knew that it was a very powerful person, he was the same as us, but he was the organizer of Jin, he knew very well that it was not a good thing to know too much, so he only did things and didn't ask anything else.

Looking at Han Jin's expression, he shouldn't be lying, to a person like him who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will never dare to hide it at such a time, it seems that the identity of the gold lord can't be answered from his mouth, I continue to ask, but everything related to the gold lord and the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Fang, Han Jin doesn't know anything at all, he hasn't even heard of the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Fang.

Counting that Han Jin has been by the side of the gold lord for at least ten years, he actually knows nothing about the gold master, and it is only a person who can hide himself so well that makes people feel terrible.

"What are you looking for when you asked you to bring us here?"

"A ball, a bronze ball with lines carved on it." Han Jin didn't dare to hide it and say it all.

"Bronze balls?" I frowned, I came all the way here for this thing. "What's it for?"

"I don't know."

"Ten years ago, you remember killing someone." My voice was filled with resentment.

"Ten years ago...... I've killed so many people, how can I remember. Han Jin looked at the pitch black under him from time to time, and his voice was trembling.

"Then let me remind you, Jinluogou in western Sichuan." The muscles of my hand holding the knife were exposed.

Han Jin thought about it for a while, and suddenly looked at me in surprise: "Gu ...... Gu Wu! You...... How do you know I've been to Jinluogou in western Sichuan...... Gu Wu?! ”

"Why kill him?" I asked coldly.

Han Jin was terrified, saying that at that time, the gold lord took him and another person named Jiang Peng to Jinluogou in western Sichuan, before that, he didn't know Gu Wu at all, and he didn't know why the gold lord wanted to kill him, he just acted on orders, and Jiang Peng disappeared after that time.

"I remember." Han Jin was afraid that I would continue to cut, so he hurriedly said in horror. "At that time, he seemed to ask Gu Wu to hand over something, and Gu Wuyi refused to say anything until he died."

"What's that?" I asked.

"I don't know, listening to their conversation, it seems that he and Gu Wu knew each other before, they went to a place, and Gu Wu took something from it, and hid incognito in Jinluogou."

"Take something with you?" I frowned, what the owner could do everything possible to get back must be priceless and very important, but in my memory, when I was a child, my family relied on my father to carry the coffin for a living, and it was worthless. "You can kill people because of that!"

"I'm just doing what I'm told, and it's okay with me." Han Jin struggled below. "I said everything I know, you have to obey the rules and pull me up."

"I've never been a good person......" I replied coldly as I quickly cut the rope.

"I have no grievances with you, I have said everything I know, why did you kill me?" Han Jin yelled in panic.

"Listen, when you get down there, I want to take revenge and remember who I am, my name is Gu Chaoge, the Gu Wu you killed ten years ago was my father, and the revenge of killing my father is not shared, I will avenge my father today, you can understand."

Han Jin suddenly didn't speak, he looked at me with strange eyes, the fear in his eyes disappeared, the moment I cut the rope Han Jin fell, I was shocked to find that he actually smiled weirdly, and I heard his voice getting farther and farther away.

I see, I don't understand anything......
