Chapter Forty-Seven: The Black Cave
I looked in the direction pointed by Wei Yong, only to see that under the hazy moonlight, a quiet and peaceful basin showed a foreign style, it turned out that Mujiaobeigou was not a ravine or a water ditch, but a place name, and the distant mountains of Mujiaobeigou, among which there was a towering main peak quietly located there, like a warm and selfless embrace, lovingly looking at the grass and trees at the foot of the mountain, all the creatures that had grown in it, that peak, presumably the snow treasure top we were looking for.
Wei Yong sighed and said: "Xuebaoding, also known as Xuebaoding, was called Xuelan Mountain in ancient times, and it was called "Xia Er Winter" in Tibetan, which means Oriental Conch Mountain. It is the highest peak of the Minjiang Mountains, with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. The first peak of the Minshan Mountain Range, is also the main peak of the Minshan Mountain Range, ancient and modern, there are countless Tibetans, Qiang, and Han people and others who go to the Snow Treasure Peak to worship, praying for the blessing of the sacred mountain in the Quartet of the land wind and rain, the country and the people. Snow Treasure Peak is also the sacred mountain in my mind! ”
Although I can vaguely see the outline of the Snow Treasure Peak by the hazy moonlight, I know that there is still a difficult mountain road to go to really reach the foot of the Snow Treasure Peak.
After a short rest, Wei Yong and I continued on our way......
Along the way, I looked back from time to time, hoping that a figure would suddenly appear in the impermeable mountains, a white figure...... It's a pity, she may have left, there is nothing worth her to appear again, she saved me at a critical time, what else can I hope for? Now I only hope that she will leave completely, I know better than anyone what it will cost to provoke the cat demon who is also a demon, and besides, this place does not belong to her at all, it is because I want to find the Eight Treasures of Zhenshan that forced her to come here too, so I can only hope that she will leave silently like this...... Never again......
It turns out that the Mujiao back ditch is named after the location of the wood horn back, rushed to the wood corner back ditch, it can be regarded as walking into the vast Minshan mountain range, here is not far from the snow treasure top, I can't tell the mood at this moment is excited or worried, excited is that the next treasure in the eight treasures of Zhenshan is likely to appear in this area, and the worried, I am afraid that in the end it is just a mirror flower water moon empty-handed.
Stumbling for more than half a year, the hardships along the way are vivid, in order to find the eight treasures of Zhenshan, the master and the current head of Xianzong Gu Tan are not in harmony, and finally both are buried in the Fulong Cave, in order to find the eight treasures of Zhenshan, our new generation of disciples have restarted the journey, I am naturally representing Tantra, and Xianzong, is the outstanding Shangguan Jin, of course, the battle in the Daomen can only be regarded as a part, no matter how ruthless it is, it can't compare to those mountain spirits and ghosts who have no human feelings, this is also the biggest test for me!
When I stepped into the Minshan Mountain Range, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and finally, I couldn't help but stop, grabbed Wei Yong, and said, "Do you think that our journey is too smooth?" ”
Wei Yong looked at me with wide eyes: "Are you okay on the seventh day of the first month?" It's hard to imagine that such words will pop out of your mouth, don't you dream of finding what kind of treasure of your Maoshan Mountain? How? Now that I finally came to the Minshan Mountain Range, I am about to see the true face of the Snow Treasure Peak, and find the Skull Cliff, maybe the next treasure you are looking for is under the Skull Cliff, these are not what you want the most? Why did you suddenly change as if you were a person, are you okay? ”
As he spoke, Wei Yong pretended to reach out and touch my forehead, but was slapped aside by me, and then rolled his eyes: "Why can't you kid understand what I mean?" We want to go into the mountains, we go in, we want to get some guys to defend ourselves, we want to find the wooden horn back ditch and now we have found it, what does it mean to rush to the top of the snow treasure? It means that we are also about to see the legendary lich, that is, the corpse of the cultivated climate, everything seems to come naturally, too simple and easy, easy to make people a little uncomfortable, always feel like all this has been arranged by someone, tsk! ”
Wei Yong also fell into deep thought when he heard this, but immediately smiled and said, "Maybe there are immortals in the dark who are helping us?" You are a real Taoist, don't you even understand this? ”
I thought about it, but I was still at a loss, alas, I had already come here anyway, and it would be useless to think too much, it was better to be improvised, and everything was done carefully!
"Meow-"
Suddenly! There was a hissing sound like lightning in the distance, I turned my head sharply, and saw a black shadow quickly sweeping over the hills, stopping at the top of a treetop opposite us, under the moonlight, it was like a general patrolling the mountains, faintly looking down at the small beings below the mountains, its eyes were blood-red glowing, terrifying and bewitching...... It is the king of all demons, the cat demon!
The cat demon didn't linger long, just stared at us so quietly, and then disappeared like lightning as if it had never appeared.
A sense of foreboding welled up in my heart, what does the appearance of the cat demon portend? Why didn't you see Mei'er? Could it be that Mei'er...... No way! Although this cat demon dominates the demons here, Mei'er is also a fox spirit who has practiced for nearly a thousand years, so she can't be so easily ...... by the cat demon I looked around, in the vast night sky, where is Mei'er's figure, Mei'er? Where is she?!
"Cat, cat?!"
Wei Yong let out a frightened voice, pointed in the direction where the cat demon disappeared and shouted with all his breath, and at the same time held everything he could hold in his hands as a state of preparation!
I hurriedly said, "I can't let it run away like this!" We chase! ”
The strange thing is that the direction in which the cat demon disappeared was the location of Xue Baoding, Wei Yong picked up the saber, shook off the blood hammer he had purchased earlier, and scolded: "The blood hammer of the dog day is useless at all, it is better to use this saber with my hand!" ”
While running rapidly, I asked Wei Yong, "Which position is faster to go to the Snow Treasure Peak?" ”
Wei Yong's speed couldn't keep up with him a little, and when he heard this, he gasped and pointed to the southeast location of the Snow Treasure Peak, and said, "Most people climb the West Mountain to the Snow Treasure Peak, but I know that there is a faster way to go up to ......."
I don't know what the cat demon means by this move, maybe he is thinking of summoning the next wave of mountain spirits and ghosts to surround us, or maybe he has already set up a trap in front of us to jump, but in any case, we must climb the mountain as soon as possible, and only with the help of the momentum of the mountain to suppress those evil spirits that are rampant, but I still can't figure it out, why did the cat demon stop me from going to the top of the snow treasure?
No matter how much, first go to the top of the snow treasure to find the skull cliff, whether it is a cat demon or a corpse demon (lich), then they will be wiped out together!
Rushing to the foot of the mountain at the top of the snow treasure mountain, I looked up and immediately took two steps back, and asked in surprise: "Wei Yong, dare you kid want to commit suicide!" How can you climb such a steep rock wall?! ”
Far away, you can see that another angle of the Snow Treasure Top is almost vertical, and Wei Yong and I are standing at the angle position at this moment, seeing the steep wall in front of us, Wei Yong said unhurriedly: "As long as you climb up, you will see the ladder for climbing, and then climb up along the ladder to reach the top of the Snow Treasure Peak, that is, the peak of the sacred mountain, no matter what you want to see, you can see everything in a downward posture, presumably the Skull Cliff is no exception!" ”
"Ladder?" I was stunned: "What ladder?" How do you know there's a ladder up there? ”
Wei Yong smiled mysteriously and said: "When I was young, my body was sick, my mother took me to the top of the snow treasure to worship, it is strange to say, after a few times of worship, my body gradually improved, and stronger than before several times or even dozens of times, I slowly grew up and began to insist on exercising, every once in a while I will come to the top of the snow treasure up and down to climb once, the ladder here is also I found by chance when I ran up the mountain, the end of the ladder has traces of burning, I think, if it is not burned by something, The length of the ladder should reach the bottom of the mountain at the top of the snow. ”
Since there is a ladder, that is the only motivation to climb to the top of the snow treasure, Wei Yong and I didn't say a word of nonsense, the figures each roared and rushed up - the mountain wall was a little slippery, but it didn't affect our progress, about half an hour later, we appeared on a protruding stone platform, and on the mountain wall in front of the stone platform, it turned out to be a slightly larger pitch-black cave!
