Chapter 39: Ghost in the Mountains 02
At dawn, Uncle Liu left my room, but he did not simply return to his residence, but really left the village.
"Do you believe what he says?" Zhang Hao asked me.
I sighed, "It's not important, the important thing is that we can be sure of one thing, Phoenix Mountain is here." ”
Zhang Yang seemed surprised, "Phoenix Mountain? So what? Do you really think that there will be a golden phoenix returning to its nest in the legendary Phoenix Mountain? ”
"It doesn't matter to us whether the legend of the Golden Phoenix is true or not, the important thing is that there is something on Phoenix Mountain that may be our life-saving weapon."
Zhang Yang looked up at the green jade peaks looming among the white clouds, and said, "Are you talking about the golden book?" ”
I patted him on the shoulder, and an inexplicable panic welled up in my heart, "The Golden Book is the legendary treasure of the Snow Collar Clan, which records a lot of ancient civilization history, if we can get it and crack its contents, then this chip is far bigger than the Imperial Flower." ”
Zhang Yang didn't speak, and I continued: "You know the style of doing things best in the Hanhai Headquarters, they are unscrupulous to find the Imperial Flower and the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice, isn't the purpose just to solve the ancient mystery?" What immortality, fairy music prayers, galactic stars, these ancient mysteries that cannot be explained by modern science, aren't they also the biggest projects of Hanhai headquarters in the past half century? ”
Zhang Yang looked at me with a slightly surprised expression, "How do you know this?" ”
I pointed to my heart and said, "Don't forget, I'm also a Chinese expert, and the ancient books of our Xiao family are also designed. ”
Zhang Yang still looked at the majestic mountain peak, and said: "Since you have seen everything through, then why are you still pretending to be stupid all the way, being played by us, with your mind, you can see through us a long time ago, are you doing it on purpose?" ”
I said, "Deliberately pretending to be stupid and being deceived by you as a monkey?" I'm not such an idiot, the biggest reason why I'm being led by your nose is that I didn't put my mind on you in the first place, in other words, I've never had a place for you. ”
I looked at Zhang Yang's surprised expression, sighed in my heart, and continued: "At the beginning, I only regarded you as a high nobleman, unattainable, and I didn't plan to have deeper contact with you. ”
Zhang Yang wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything, just pointed to it and said, "Let's go, look at the posture, it is estimated that it will be dark to arrive." ”
I tightened the backpack on my back and said as I walked: "It's not okay when it's dark, Uncle Liu said, we must see the tomb gate at noon when the sun is shining, so we must hurry up, if we miss this noon, then we can only sleep in the mountains and wait for tomorrow." ”
When Zhang Yang heard this, he immediately quickened his pace, "Then forget it, this Phoenix Mountain area is really haunted, I don't want to stay here." ”
I smiled, "The ghosts in this world are not in the mountains, you are worried." ”
"Not in the mountains, where?"
I pointed to my heart, "In the softest place of man, in the heart." ”
Zhang Yang didn't say anything, his face changed slightly, neither of the two of them spoke anymore, and at eleven o'clock, we came to the bottom of the cliff.
Looking up and up close, I just want to say that this is a impossible task.
Zhang Yang also looked frustrated, "How can this rock wall be as smooth as a mirror, so slippery." ”
The moss is light green, and it is a thin layer, which feels like a layer of green snot to the touch, but there is a faint smell of grass.
"That's it, yes." I say
Zhang Yang also nodded, "Green Jade Peak, it's really a good place, but how are we going to go up?" ”
I took my hiking gear out of my backpack and thought I was going to climb and immediately stopped me, but I laughed and told him that climbing up from the outside was no different from suicide, and that there was another shortcut.
Zhang Yang didn't know what I meant by the shortcut, he thought it was a gentle slope near here or something, but when I told him that the shortcut was a waterfall, he also smiled heartily, and even said that he was careless, but he didn't expect this.
Actually, I didn't expect this level, this is what Uncle Liu told me last night, because when he told me about the situation here, I told him about this situation at the time, Uncle Liu said that when the Fengling was built, a craftsman who was responsible for the design of the outer mountain road suddenly got a news, saying that his family died innocently and tragically, and the murderer was a member of the royal family of the Wu clan at that time.
It is impossible to verify the name of this craftsman, but this craftsman has a hatred for the Wu royal family, so when he began to build and defend this mountain, he deliberately suggested that the emperor bring a spring as a waterfall with feng shui, which is called the rain curtain.
However, after the craftsman got the emperor's permission, he did not do a good job of the fortification of the rain curtain, but secretly built a plank road under the waterfall, so that the back tomb of Phoenix Mountain was no longer a perfect and impeccable defense of the eight gates, but a gap, breaking the feng shui,
I said these words to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang said that he understood, and at the same time, we really found a waterfall by following the sound of water.
"Is this it?"
"It should be, you look at the waterfall, the water is sufficient, it goes down vertically, and the water mist rises into the air, exactly the same as what is recorded in the book, but how can we get in is a problem, we are not Sun Wukong, we can fly into the water curtain cave.
The sound of the waterfall rumbled, and we could still hear each other's voices in the distance, but when we approached, the sound of the water had completely drowned out the sound of talking, and we had to talk in sign language.
"Give me the rope, I'll go in first, and if I pull the rope inside, you tie the rope around your waist and I'll bring you in." Zhang Yang gestured with sign language, and I probably guessed this is what it meant.
"I see, be careful."
When Zhang Yang saw my response, he actually smiled at me, and then plunged into the water, if he wanted to pass the waterfall, he had to go underwater, otherwise he would be crushed to death by the rushing water.
I watched the watch hand count the seconds on the shore, and with what I knew about them, Jiang Yuan, who had the best underwater skills, could only stay without equipment for three minutes, which was already the limit of human beings. (To be continued.) )
