Han Jin should have guessed that we didn't believe it, and took out the map from his body, it was a map with very detailed markings, looking at the style for some years, from the map, we could identify the Valley of Death that we had crossed, according to where we are now, it is not far from the Kunlun Golden Gate.

A palace built on the top of the snow peak, and no one has ever known the exact location, regardless of whether it really exists or not, I am just curious now Since no one knows the location of the Kunlun Golden Gate, where did this map in Han Jin's hand come from.

Han Jin's answer was very brief, he could live until now, but he never asked things that he shouldn't know.

Under the leadership of Han Jin, we walked for another three or four days, the climate became more and more bad, the blizzard swept the entire mountain range, the wind whistling in our ears was bitter and biting, and it was a white world as far as the eye could see, full of thick frost and towering ice peaks.

Everywhere you can see is the eternal ice, I subconsciously pulled the collar only to feel the biting cold wind mixed with ice and snow flying all over the sky, the hands are cold without the slightest temperature, the piercing ice can make the flowing blood coagulate quickly, absolutely no flesh and blood can survive in such a cold place, let alone build a palace on the top of the mountain.

According to Han Jin's map, we had to cross several towering snow-capped mountains, and some people had already fallen behind because they couldn't resist the cold and lack of oxygen.

The more we go deep into the Kunlun Mountains, the more we feel that our bodies do not belong to us, and our legs have long been unconscious in the cold ice and snow, and we can only numbly repeat the action of lifting and stepping in.

Han Jin walked in the front, we followed his footprints in the snow, only in this way not to get separated, we kept trying to find a place to rest in the wind and snow, but the vast iceberg had nothing but lifeless and frozen peaks.

"It's almost there!" Han Jin suddenly raised his hand in front and said loudly to the person behind him, his voice also becoming weak in the cold wind.

We followed the direction of Han Jin's finger and saw that in the wind and snow blown away by the cold wind, an impassable iceberg mountain range blocked the path we were on, and there was a huge ice cave at the foot of the mountain that seemed to lead to the back of the mountain range.

Han Jin once again took out the map, which clearly marked the iceberg and the ice cave in front of us, it seemed that we were going in the right direction, and we had to pass through this ice cave if we wanted to continue to move forward.

The cave is a rare refuge in the ice and snow, we seem to see hope, one foot deep and one foot shallow in the thick snow forward, finally reached the ice cave after entering, although it is still cold and biting, but at least there is no raging wind and snow, we pat the ice and snow on our bodies and then carefully look around the ice cave in front of us, it is full of condensed ice, the huge ice cave can echo for a long time even if we whisper.

"Rest in the ice cave tonight, and set off tomorrow when the weather improves." Han Jin instructed his men to set up tents and sent people in charge of guarding.

This ice cave is too deep, the light is not very good, you can't see the distance away, Han Jin by the bonfire began to count the number of people, more than thirty people came in from the Kunlun Mountain Pass, and now there are less than fifteen of us left, and there is not much food left, almost every day is a mouthful of compressed biscuits and a mouthful of snow water.

Someone grabbed a few skinks in the ice cave, that is, the often said four-legged snake, the size is larger, and there is a dark line on the white back, the palace lord is very surprised, how can the skinks live in the ice cave, but for those people, these skinks are rare meat, and they don't investigate the origin at all, and they will peel the skin and empty the internal organs of the two skinks and throw them into the pot in three or five times.

After a while, there was a faint smell of meat, I haven't smelled such a smell for a long time, for people who eat compressed biscuits every day, it is simply a delicacy, and one person gets a bowl of hot broth, which is a complete luxury enjoyment in the cold ice cave.

But I found that the field chicken was gone, I asked the palace lord, he didn't see it, as if he hadn't noticed his movements since he entered this ice cave, the hot broth was in his stomach, and the fatigue during this time was relieved a lot, and he could finally sleep well.

Not long after I fell asleep, I felt a pair of cold hands covering my face, woke up, and saw Tian Ji put his fingers to his mouth, signaling me not to make a sound, I saw that he looked cautious, nodded understandingly, slowly got up and tiptoed behind Tian Ji, he had already woken up Gong Jue, and the others were estimated to be too tired to find it at all.

We followed Tian Ji forward, he took us into a fork in the ice cave, whispered, he is not used to sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, so he looked around before, the ice cave is too deep, he will not be able to walk for a while, he turned back and found this fork.

"What's in there?" I asked curiously.

The pheasant stopped at the end of the fork in the road, which was a dead end, and when the pheasant got out of the way, we saw two frozen corpses in the flashlight.

"Someone had already been here before us." Tian Ji looked at us with a grim expression. "I don't know why I died in this ice cave."

We crouched down to take a closer look at the two corpses, one of them was completely frozen by frost, I asked the field chicken to make a fire to melt the ice and snow, and the other ice corpse, the muscles and skin were quite well preserved, and even the elasticity could be felt when touched.

It didn't look like a local herdsman from the way he was dressed, and the ice corpse straddled a bag, holding a notebook in both hands, and never let go until he died, presumably this note was extremely important to the ice corpse.

I carefully took the notebook from the hand of the ice corpse, opened it in the light of the flashlight, and the date recorded in it was May 9, 1942, almost 40 years ago, and the owner of this notebook surprised us even more, although I don't know his name, but I can mention in the notebook that he is a professor of archaeology in the Department of History of Nankai University.

The three of us glanced at each other, this ice corpse appeared here, it should also be for Kunlun Jinque, but since we knew the secrets of this palace forty years ago, why had we never heard of the slightest rumor.

Further down, the text left in the notes is more like a diary, which records that the professor received an invitation letter that made the professor ecstatic and rushed to the appointed place on April 28, 1942, according to the agreed time.

When the professor arrived, he found that he was not the only one who had received the invitation, there were a total of 12 people present, who did not know each other, and it was not until they met and talked that they learned each other's names and occupations, including archaeology, geology, architecture, biology, history, and even tomb robbing, and these twelve people were among the best in their fields.

"With just one invitation, we can bring together so many top experts at the same time." The palace lord muttered to himself with a grim face. "What exactly is written on the invitation?"

"I don't know, it's not mentioned in the notes, but I'm more curious about who sent these invitations." I shook my head.

We continued to look through the notebook, which recorded that the professor and the twelve men met with the people who recruited them, and presented evidence and clues to prove the truth of a legend, and the professor and everyone were shocked, and the professor clearly wrote in the notebook that if the legend could be confirmed to be true, it would be the most amazing and great discovery that could be recorded in the history books of archaeology.

The twelve men began this journey to witness the miracle under the leadership of the recruiter, the route recorded in the note coincided with ours, the professor also mentioned the valley of death in the note, his description is exactly the same as what we saw, but the miraculous thing is that they actually crossed the valley of death without casualties, from the words in the note, it is not difficult to find that the professor is also surprised why those intertwined webs, impenetrable lightning just can't hit them.

At the end, that paragraph caught our attention, and the professor described it in his notes.

…… The man who recruited us was at the front, and I saw him struck by lightning several times, and when the dazzling lightning dimmed, he still walked unharmed, and the lightning struck on him in a blazing white outline, and I saw it as if I had seen a god......
