We move on to find a way out of this snow valley. Finally, a place to climb was found, hidden by snow. I scraped the snow off with a pickaxe, little by little I found a place to settle on the rocks, and pedaled up the slopes. At night, I rested against the rock wall. Until noon the next day. We had just climbed the 30-meter cliff.

We continued our arduous journey: I followed the stuffy bottle, and by dusk we had probably walked no more than twenty kilometers, but we found traces of melting snow all around. The stuffy oil bottle listened with his ears, touched little by little, and finally found the gap that was buried in the snow

After dark, the temperature dropped much lower than expected, and we went into the crevice, to the hot spring where we were resting, and made a fire in it to warm ourselves and boil some water.

I didn't have much appetite and didn't eat anything, but the stuffy bottle didn't seem to want anything at all. After resting for a while at the mouth of the crevice, we continued to walk inside, and by this time I already knew exactly where the stuffy oil bottle was going. He's going to the Bronze Gate. That place completely turned my outlook on life upside down, and I really, completely didn't want to see that place again.

But, apparently, the destination of the stuffy oil bottle, is there. From this gap, all the way in, you will soon reach that place, and there is no need to go around the entire Genting Heavenly Palace.

I think about the human-faced birds, and I don't know what kind of situation it is now. That night I had a dream that I came to the bronze door with the stuffy oil bottle. The stuffy oil bottle said goodbye to me, and then went in, leaving me alone in the doorway, and as soon as I turned around, I was awakened by the innumerable number of human-faced birds looking at me. After waking up. I saw that the stuffy oil bottle was not sleeping, but sorting out all his things.

I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I'm watching." What are the things you can use. I'll leave it all to you. You may need it on your way back. ”

"What about you?" I was surprised.

"Here it is. It doesn't matter if I'm a newborn baby, I'm already close to my destination. "You don't need to go in again, it's too dangerous inside." ”

I was surprised to see that the stuffy oil bottle took out two ghost jade seals from his package, and he hugged it for a moment and handed one of them to me.

"Now that you're here. I think you should know something," he said. "You take this ghost jade seal back. All I need is one. ”

"Where did you get this other one?"

"Mrs. Huo gave it to me." Stuffy Bottle Road. "When you don't know:"

"What is this thing for?" I got straight to the point, and I wasn't interested in knowing what was going on behind the scenes.

The stuffy oil bottle said: "Open the door." ”

I took the ghost jade seal, and he said, "You take this thing and come to the bronze door, and the door will open." Ten years from now, if you remember me, you can take this thing with you and open that bronze door. You might also see me inside. ”

"What's behind that door?" I asked the stuffy oil bottle, "Why are you going in?" ”

"I can't tell you what that place is." Stuffy Bottle Road. "I can only tell you one agreement. Many years ago, I took a secret and found what you called the Old Nine Gates. In the ancestral training of the Zhang family, retention has always been the biggest goal. The whole development process of the Zhang family. It is hoped that in any troubled times, the Zhang family can survive, so as to retain the group burial of the Zhangjia ancient building. Judging from the information I have gotten, only the patriarch can know a huge secret, and the Zhang family has obtained this huge secret from the very beginning, and this secret runs in the long river of Chinese history, and no one knows what it is. We only know that there is this secret itself, and the secret has a key time node. This node has now arrived. After the last remaining hope of the Zhang family was dashed, I found the old Jiumen at that time. I hope to use the strength of Lao Jiumen to help the Zhang family and jointly undertake this obligation. So that this secret is not to be discovered, but in the old nine gates. No one kept his word.

"The core of this secret I'm going to guard is behind this bronze door. It will take time to keep this secret, and I will enter the bronze door for ten years, waiting for the next replacement. ”

"Why do they say that no one has kept their promises?"

"Because in the past nearly 100 years, all the people who guarded this secret were members of the Zhang family, and the power of the Zhang family was weakened. In our previous promise, the people of the Old Nine Gates must take turns to guard this secret. ”

"They didn't go alone?"

The stuffy oil bottle nodded: "I am already the last Zhang Qiling of the Zhang family, and all the days in the future must be guarded by me." However, since you are here, I still tell you that in ten years' time, if you can still remember me, you can open this bronze gate to replace me. ”

"Wait." I digested it for a moment and asked, "You mean, the old nine gates are going to take turns." How many lifetimes has your Zhang family been? ”

The stuffy oil bottle nodded, and I asked him: "If this is not the case, according to the promise, who should be the turn of Lao Jiumen until now?" ”

"You." Stuffy Oil Bottle said.

I? I was stunned for a moment: "You mean, I was supposed to go behind this bronze door for ten years?" ”

The stuffy oil bottle nodded, and I was just about to say that you made it clear, when the stuffy oil bottle suddenly reached out and pressed it on the back of my neck, and I lost consciousness at once.

That was the last time I saw the stuffy bottle, after I woke up. Except for the ghost jade seal he left me, everything he had was gone.

I went madly to him, squeezed into the depths of the crevice, and found that there was no road there. The road we came out of before was closed.

I remembered when the stuffy oil bottle was crawling inside. Disappeared in front of me, could it be that he started something at that time to have our later path?

I stayed in that place for three days. It wasn't until the blizzard slowly subsided that I despaired.

Nothing to say all the way.

Finally I returned to Hangzhou. When I walked on the edge of the West Lake, it was drizzling in the sky, I thought about everything I had experienced before, thought of everyone's ending, and suddenly felt so tired and tired.

I don't know why, but my tears flowed, and I went back to my shop, as if I had returned to the past, when nothing had happened.

I thought I would have something left after all this, but I didn't expect that there would be nothing left.

However, I realized that I couldn't stop yet, and I had to go on because there was still a decade left. (To be continued)
