Chapter 60: The Secret Realm of the Lotus
There was no time to say anything more, they were now like there were tiger chasers behind them, they tightened their things in a panic, and hurriedly moved towards the next platform.
Originally, in the process of crossing the ice bridge, their movements were very slow, for fear that if their movements were too big, they would cause irreparable mistakes.
But now, since the sound of the helicopter had appeared outside, they seemed to have no idea about the danger of the ice bridge, and they were able to stabilize their bodies while moving as fast as they could.
After crossing two more ice bridges, Qin Zhen looked at the swaying old Gu, and felt nervous in his heart. He himself is now walking step by step. Because the ice is so slippery, and they are too anxious now, it is easy for accidents to happen.
Qin Zhen took the opportunity to take a breath and whispered to Lao Gu and them: "Use the climber!" Let's crawl over! It's safer that way! "I don't know if it's a psychological effect, since the helicopter appeared outside, they don't even dare to speak too loudly now, as if they are afraid that people outside will hear.
Lao Gu also nodded solemnly, and then the three of them began to climb through the wide and narrow ice bridges.
After moving away from the ice valley, I could no longer hear the sound outside. But they don't let that put their hearts on the back.
Below the ice bridge is a cliff full of ice, and tall icicles rise from below! Looking at these crystals again, there is no longer the dreamy beauty of before. Instead, there is a chill in the forest. Qin Zhen didn't know, was it the fear of the desperate environment here? Still is...... Fear of Fu Tianlei?
It stands to reason. A dignified man, doing the right thing, doing the right thing. Being so afraid of an officer seems to make people laugh. But they were so panicked and so frightened, but it was not because they were afraid of Fu Tianlei or what Fu Tianlei would do to them.
What they are really afraid of is that after working so hard and experiencing so many escapes from death, the mission is still not completed.
It's just beginning to walk the Himalayas, and the search for Shangri-La may be a long way off. At this time, Fu Tianlei's sudden appearance is bound to bring them great obstacles! Before finding Yudong, before finding Shangri-La, they don't want to and can't be caught by Fu Tianlei! Otherwise. The previous qiē was all in vain.
Thankfully. Fu Tianlei did not find this lotus secret realm, nor did he find the secret to Shangri-La. In this case, Qin Zhen and the others may still have a chance.
Although the other party is a powerful high-ranking officer, there are only three of them. But Qin Zhen still believed. You can still give it a go!
Of course. He had to gamble on it, too. Otherwise, Yudong and Juntian will evaporate from the world forever, and Shangri-La's supernatural power will also fall into the hands of the wolf's ambitions, and the three of them will be charged with stealing national treasures and murdering major generals for the rest of their lives. Never turn over.
How could they let Fu Tianlei succeed?
Gritting his teeth, he struggled to climb over one ice beam and ice bridge after another. They tacitly strengthened each other's beliefs in silence. Needless to say, the courageous action is enough to prove what they are thinking at the moment.
The ice platform had finally come to an end, and they were almost limp in their crawls. Coupled with the cold environment, the body's ability to react has slowed down significantly.
The three of them supported each other and struggled to stand up, secretly glad that no one had any accidents on this road.
This is another ice valley, which looks much larger than the previous entrance. The middle part sinks like a giant cirque. Below is also a white mist and a cold air. Right in the middle of that white mist, a huge lotus flower made of ice picks is blooming!
This time, it's not a metaphor or a metaphor. It was really a lotus flower made of ice and snow. Rock formations were visible inside, proving that it was supposed to be a stone statue, but the space inside the mountain's belly was so long that it was all frozen over.
But its outline is still so clear that one can tell at a glance that it is a lotus flower.
Ice crystal-clad giant lotus ...... This is......
"Lotus Secret Realm." Qin Zhen looked at the lotus sculpture in front of him and muttered.
Lao Gu and Jiang Qi also stood aside a little excited. If you look closely, you will find that the shape of the lotus flower is exactly the same as the lotus ornament of Yudong! It's just that there is no Buddha's hand.
The white smoke was ethereal, swirling around the ice crystal lotus, which made people feel a sense of sacredness that they did not dare to look directly and profane.
At this moment, Lao Gu suddenly shouted on the other side: "Look, there is a Buddha statue in this ice!" We've definitely come to the right place this time! ”
Qin Zhen hurriedly ran over. On the left hand side of Lao Gu, it seems that the cliff is full of ice and ice waterfalls, but there is a Bodhisattva statue about three meters high faintly inside. Put your hands together and stand on the lotus platform.
That's right, it's a Buddhist holy place. This is the legendary Lotus Secret Realm! But...... Is the Lotus Secret Realm an empty valley?
At this time, Jiang Qi also shouted excitedly: "Come here!" There seems to be a stone staircase ahead! It seems that this is the path to the Lotus Secret Realm! ”
Qin Zhen and Lao Gu immediately ran to Jiang Qi's side again. That's right, under the snow cover, it is indeed a stone staircase built against the mountain wall.
Qin Zhen restored the original appearance of this place in his mind with imagination. This was supposed to be a deep valley in the first place, and the place where they stood was on the edge of the cliff, and opposite was the entrance to the Lotus Secret Realm. In the middle of this cliff, I don't know what kind of power was used to build such a huge lotus. On both sides of the mountain, two winding stone staircase passages are built to lead to the entrance of the secret realm on the opposite side.
Speaking of which, this place seems to be somewhat similar to the road leading to the temple in Meili Snow Mountain. It's just that it's covered in snow and ice, which makes it look even more fantastical.
Jiang Qi leaned over at a wide angle, looked at the stone steps in the distance, and then said with some concern: "Maybe it's too old, and this stone step can't be connected intermittently...... There are places that seem to require jumping and climbing to get through. ”
Lao Gu glared when he heard this: "What?!" Jumping and climbing in such a dangerous place? Brother, are you kidding? It's not easy to walk here, let's go over there, aren't there two roads! ”
Jiang Qi shook his head and pointed to the stone steps on the opposite side and said, "Look, that side probably can't even jump...... The collapse is too strict. It's still slightly better on this side, and the break distance is still enough for us to jump over......"
Lao Gu stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Qi's words, and then said righteously: "Daqi, that distance is enough for you to jump over, but not enough for me to jump over." You know my problems, it's good to walk through! You're going to make me jump over that cliff? I can't do it, brother! ”
Jiang Qi looked at Lao Gu helplessly, and then looked at the stone steps like broken walls, which seemed to be a little embarrassed for him...... But there is no way, this is the only way.
Qin Zhen didn't know how else to open his mouth to encourage Lao Gu, because he himself looked at the broken stone steps and his legs trembled, how could he persuade Lao Gu?
Jiang Qi thought for a moment and said, "Well, I have a way." We've got pitons in our bag, I'll go over first, smash the pitons at the fracture, and then it will be much easier for you to go over again. ”
Looking at Qin Zhen and Lao Gu's somewhat hesitant expressions, Jiang Qi patted his chest with a smile and said, "Don't worry!" This two-meter-wide gap is nothing to me! You wait, I'll go and call you. ”
Seeing Jiang Qi's confident appearance, Qin Zhen and Lao Gu had no choice but to nod.
After Jiang Qi prepared his things, he walked up the stone steps, carefully probing his steps to prevent the possibility of sudden fracture and collapse. Before I had taken a few steps, I reached the fracture, and the stone steps could not be connected at a distance of more than one meter.
I saw Jiang Qi exert the physique of an ape, while climbing the mountain rock, while looking for a place to drive into the pitons. Then he jumped up another stone staircase. After a few jumps and climbs, he was soon on the opposite side.
Qin Zhen and Lao Gu watched Jiang Qi's movements here, and couldn't help but pouted and felt ashamed. And Lao Gu didn't forget to sarcastically say at this time: "Big earthquake, I'm a mortal, it's just that I can't get by." You have the divine power of the handsome little brother in your body, and you have Dong Shao's possession, why do you say you can't get by? ”
When Qin Zhen heard this, his face turned green! immediately turned his head and scolded angrily: "Your uncle! Isn't this here to be with you? ”
Lao Gu smiled and said, "Pancakes and fruits are poisoned, don't come with me." If you can't get by, you will say that you will not go, don't use me as an excuse. Eh, you said that you don't often possess yourself now, and you can even memorize what kind of dragon scripture you have. But in this skill, why didn't I see that you had a little bit of Dongshao's shadow? If we are here, swish! It's gone without even seeing the shadow! What grass flies and floats on water, that's all. It's not as good as that wind-like man......"
"Shut up!!" Qin Zhen couldn't help but interrupt Lao Gu. Then warned: "The surname Gu, don't you know what's wrong, you're not me, do you believe that I'm scared to death in the back for a while?" ”
Lao Gu, who was originally going to continue to be proud, finally decided not to ridicule Qin Zhen anymore after thinking about it seriously. He shook his head very angrily and said, "Dude, take the first step, if you can't do it, just try to chant a spell or something, maybe Dong Shao will show his spirit, and you can also become a man like the wind......"
Just as Qin Zhen was about to raise his fist, Lao Gu laughed and ran away immediately.
A few jokes can be regarded as relaxing the nervous mood, and only in this way can you walk on the road that is not taken by people with a calm heart...... After going up the stone steps, they stopped joking. This is a life-and-death situation, all the attention is under the soles of the feet, where is there any leisure to quarrel again. (To be continued......)
