84_84070 Songshan Extreme Peak.

A few of us climbed up again, and this time Ansari and I led the way in the direction of the Jinghu Ancient Cave where we went last time, and with memory, we quickly found the hidden tree cave in the mountains.

In the first two days, we were looking far away from this place, because I felt that since one of the three golden slips, the Jie Erjin Jane, was here, then it was impossible for the sin removal Jin Jian to be still here, so I never came here.

At this time, I came to the location of the tree hole, but I was surprised to find that the tree hole was gone.

Ansari and I were both parties, and we searched for a long time around the giant tree lying down on the ground, not to mention such a large tree hole, not even a rat hole.

This is a bit strange, I clearly remember the tree hole that day, it is not difficult to find, and the big hole nearly a meter wide, how can it be said that it is gone?

Lao Pan also looked for us for a while, and wondered: "This Songshan Mountain is so big, will you remember it wrong?" ”

"Impossible, no matter how big Songshan is, I have only seen this tree before, you see, from this angle, this tree does not look like a sleeping dragon falling to the ground?"

At this time, it was daytime, and we all saw it clearly, the tree was about dozens of meters high, the trunk was twisted, and the branches were stretched, but I don't know how many years it had been lodging, and the body and branches had already blended with the surrounding rocky land, looking like an ancient tree fossil.

On the top of the tree, many cracked barks, mottled, look like pieces of scales, this scene is very similar to the dragon tree in the Taishan underground palace.

But the head and tail of this tree are invisible, buried deep in the ground, and the cliffs on both sides are steep, like a natural barrier, covering the tree in the middle, surrounded by wild grasses and shrubs, if you don't accidentally bump into it, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find this place if you deliberately come to find it.

Lao Pan nodded and said, "You're right, this tree is very strange. But where is the tree hole you are talking about? ”

I was speechless, and then we searched for a long time near the tree, even under the rocks, and finally had to confirm the fact that the hole in the tree was gone.

Ansari found a place, probably at the location of the tree hole that day, he squatted down and looked at it for a long time, looked up and wondered: "Could it be that the tree hole has been filled by someone, or is it closed by itself?" ”

"Close yourself? This is a bit too mysterious, but if someone fills it up, there should be traces anyway, after all, it's only been two days. ”

He shook his head, reached out and picked up a branch on the ground, and turned it on the ground, but found nothing, the hole in the tree as if it had never been there, there was no trace.

"It seems that this Mirror Lake Ancient Cave, the last time we went in was really a fluke, no wonder no one has found it for hundreds of years, I estimate that the tree hole should be opened and closed, the time is uncertain, just like the last time there was that green gas rushing out, it will be opened."

I analyzed, Ansari frowned and did not speak, Lao Pan was even more speechless, puzzled: "You mean to say that this tree hole can open and close by itself?" Could it be that this tree is alive? ”

Alive? My heart moved, grabbed the Tiangang sword casually, pulled it out and stabbed it a few times on the tree, but the tree naturally did not react, in fact, this is also in my expectation, if the tree is alive, then must it jump up on the spot?

This matter is getting more and more mysterious, we stood in front of the tree, speechless for a while, since the tree hole is gone, then how can we enter the ancient cave of Jinghu Lake?

Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered one thing, the last time the old man of Jinghu said that a few years ago, a few people in black climbed in from the cliff above Jinghu with bad intentions, and later it was Uncle Lu Feng who helped save him.

By the way, this tree hole can actually be regarded as a shortcut to enter the Mirror Lake, but if you find the cliff above the Mirror Lake, that is the right way, and when the Empress Wu Jin Jian threw it into the Mirror Lake, it must have been on that cliff.

Maybe you can find the entrance to the mirror lake on the cliff, and you can also discover some secrets of Empress Wu Tou Jian by the way.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly told them this idea, and several people agreed, but where is the cliff, this is also a question, it must be very hidden, at least no one has found it for hundreds of years, otherwise, the old man of Mirror Lake and the immortal of Jiuzhi Cave, as well as the giant turtle of Mirror Lake, and the old ape of the ancient cave, have already been discovered.

However, since someone went in a few years ago, and Uncle Lu Feng also went there, it means that this place is not completely secret, but for us

When I thought of this, I suddenly looked at Lao Pan, thinking that if he was dressed up by Uncle Lu Feng, then he would definitely know where that place was.

"Lao Pan, where did you say that place would be, you have more experience, analyze it."

Lao Pan stretched out his hands: "Where do I know where to go, you have been to that place, you should analyze it." ”

He kicked the question directly at us, and I frowned and said, "But we got into it from an underground cave, and we don't know what it's like on it, and besides, it's night, and I can't see anything clearly." ”

Ansari suddenly said: "I have an idea, let's go on the ground, follow the route we took underground that day, and walk again, maybe we can find the cliff, at least, we can also find the approximate location." ”

He had a good idea, and I didn't hesitate to do so, and immediately recalled with Ansari the route he had taken that day, and studied it.

We first drew a simple map on the ground, analyzed it, and then began to get up and follow the route on the map, but when we started walking, we realized that it was not so simple.

Because there are rocks, steep slopes, and cliffs everywhere, if you follow the drawn route exactly, it will be very difficult, and even some places will not be able to go up at all.

But in order to complete the task, we can't take care of it, anyway, everyone brought tools, so we opened the road in the mountains, built bridges when encountering water, climbed up steep slopes, and climbed with ropes when we encountered cliffs.

I remember that when I walked through the ground, the distance was more than 100 meters, and I soon walked to the ancient cave, but from this ground, this more than 100 meters climbed over several natural hazards, and even waded through a small river ditch, climbed a cliff dozens of meters high, and then came to the approximate location.

I'm sure that the road we are walking on is not usually visited by tourists at all, and the trees here are sparse and the rocks are craggy, and even those who used to go up the mountain to cut firewood and collect medicine would probably not come here.

So, this is probably the secret cliff where Mirror Lake is located.

When we finally climbed to the top of the cliff, we were dumbfounded by the scenery in front of us, because going forward, there were still endless peaks and cliffs, and there was no valley at all, but I remembered that the mirror lake was also 100 meters in radius, and with the space in the valley, it was really a big area.

We walked a little further, and I was a little discouraged, and when I looked around, except for the mountains and stones, it seemed that we might be going in the wrong direction.

But I was about to tell everyone to turn around and look in other directions, when Ansari suddenly ran forward, looking at a cliff in front of me in a daze, and I called out to him, but he ignored me.

"What's wrong? What did you find? I ran over and asked, but in front of me was a thorn bush, in which many strange rocks were exposed, like a stone forest, in front of the stone forest, a steep mountain cliff towered, looking up, I am afraid that it is a hundred meters high, and the mountain is steep, difficult to climb.

"Look, is there anything strange about this cliff?" Ansari pointed to the cliff and said, I looked up, but I didn't see anything, this cliff is steeper, and there are many thorns in front of it, and there are strange rocks, it seems that there is nothing special.

Lao Pan and He Xiaochen also came over, but like me, they didn't see anything special, but He Xiaochen muttered: "There are so treacherous mountains here, these thorny bushes are as tall as one person, I'm afraid even wild beasts can't get in." ”

"But even if it's a little special here, it's a cliff, not a valley."

I wondered, Ansari shook his head, pointed to the top of the cliff and said, "Look, is there a strange colorful light shining on the cliff?" ”

I looked at it again, and sure enough, when I was facing the light, I could see a layer of colorful glow above the cliff, but the light was very faint, and if it wasn't for the strong light, and the angle of our position was just right, we wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"It's nothing, this cliff is bare, just reflecting the sun." He Xiaochen said.

I frowned, looked at it again, and suddenly I realized what the problem was.

This mountain, surrounded by a layer of fog, reflected in the faint colorful glow, looks very illusory, even a little unreal.

But if I wanted to look closer, I couldn't, because the cliff was only a few dozen meters away from us, but it was blocked by thorn bushes and stone forests, and it was difficult to cross.

At this moment, there was a sudden fluttering sound in my ears, and a bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew up from the cliff, far into the sky, I was stunned for a moment, where did this bird fly from, why did it suddenly appear?

I subconsciously looked up, my eyes followed the bird's movement, but suddenly I found that there was a cliff in the distance, which was very similar to the cliff in front of us.

A thought flashed through me, and I suddenly shouted, "I see, this is a mirage!" ”。
