Chapter 43: Xuan Bing
I don't think this should be the place to bury people, and the dumb man may have been mistaken, or the clue given to him by the mysterious person who revealed the route to him was wrong. After I finished speaking, the dumb man affirmed, "It's around here." I was stunned by his determined tone, and asked, "You are so sure, what are you looking for me?" I would venture to ask...... Who revealed this news to you? You trust that person so much? ”
The dumb man looked arrogant, disdained me, and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you." Then he got up and stood by the fire, looking out at the snowy peaks in the darkness. I saw that he seemed to have eaten the scales and was iron-hearted, and thought that there was an ancient tomb in this place, so I couldn't help but have a big headache, so I said: "Since you said so, then let's palm our eyes more, but now the black light is blind, and I can't see clearly, so it's better to make plans tomorrow during the day." ”
Lu Su said: "Brother Chen is right, it's too late now, and I can't see the clues." The mute ignored the two of us, still staring into the distance. I was secretly annoyed in my heart, and said in my heart that you are proud, uncle, I will not serve anymore, and I plan to go into the tent to warm up, which is much better than blowing the cold wind outside.
I was about to turn around when the snow on the north side suddenly flickered, like a star shining, and disappeared in an instant. I stopped, stared at the flash, and said, "What is that?" Could it be someone?
No, the artificial light source should not be that color.
Lu Su also sighed, and said strangely: "Could it be that there is anything else on the Snow Ridge?" It is estimated that it will take half an hour to climb up, do you want to go and see it? He had been asking for advice, but the mute had already acted, turned on the searchlight, and climbed up the snowy ridge, and I was puzzled, and I couldn't help but find out, so I followed.
There is no road at all on this snow ridge, and the snow is even deeper and more loose, and when you step on it, the snow reaches to your knees, and in some deep places, you can't even pull out your legs. In the dark, the dumb man walked ahead, and we marched forward against the wind and snow by the light of the searchlight, and the cold was needless to say, and the pants were in a semi-dry state, and our legs were frozen and numb. Originally expected to be half an hour's journey, we climbed for nearly an hour to reach the top of the ridge.
At the top, the top sloped into a steep slope, from which the sudden flickering light came from, and when we stood on it, there was nothing but snow around us, not even the footprints of a person.
What's going on?
It won't be that the three of us were dazzled just now, right?
Lu Su said: "Look around and see if there is any trace of anyone walking." ”
I said, "Even if there were, we would have gone up from the bottom of the ridge to the top for nearly an hour, and the snow would have been buried long ago." "The weather here is extremely bad, the wind blows, the snow on the surface is blown to the ground, and from time to time there are snowflakes falling in the air, and the shallower footprints are covered in ten minutes.
Lu Su exhaled a burst of white mist and said, "Do your best." "The three of us began to scatter and search. At this time, I looked at my watch, it was close to twelve o'clock, in the traditional way, it is the time when the yin and yang qi between heaven and earth sympathize with each other, and it is also the time when the living and the dead can enter and exit at the same time, I don't know why, I look at the needle that is still three minutes away, and I will point straight to the needle at twelve o'clock, and a trace of foreboding suddenly appeared in my heart.
This should be an instinct for danger to come.
At this time, Lu Su and the mute and I have been separated, and the three of them checked separately, and I was the only one in the wind and snow. I looked around with a searchlight, and although I didn't find anything, I always felt that something was peeping at me in the dark, and there was something on my back and neck, but when I turned around, there was nothing.
On the one hand, I feel that I may be overhearted, and on the other hand, I have a trusting attitude towards the intuition that has saved me many times, and my heart says that it is better to solve it quickly, so as to meet with the dumb ones, otherwise it will not be good if something happens.
As soon as this thought flashed, the corners of my eyes suddenly lit up not far away, as if some metal was reflecting. I immediately locked on to that position, this time, the flash did not disappear, I approached it, took a closer look, I couldn't help but be furious, and immediately shouted to the dumb man and Lu Su: "Found it, come back." ”
In front of me, there was a protruding layer of ice, covered with snow, which blended in with the surrounding qiē, but because of the extension of a piece from the top, there was no snow on its front, that is, the place facing our camp, thus revealing a deep blue layer of ice.
At this moment, the moonlight moved, and the snow reflected subtle light, and the ice layer reflected from time to time with the moonlight, which we saw under the snow ridge before, should be the light of this thing. Lu Su and the mute gathered here, and they could see the doorway at a glance, Lu Su smiled dumbly, and simply sat on the ground, I said, "What are you still sitting for, go back to the camp." ”
Lu Su said leisurely: "It's all here, nothing is accomplished, it's not cost-effective, you look at this thousands of miles of silver light, frozen snow dance, isn't it a pity to live up to it?" "This way against the wind and snow, I remember the cold and tired, I really didn't have time to enjoy the scenery in the snowy mountains, at this moment the moonlight is comfortable, at a glance, the snow-capped mountains are shrouded in a thin layer of brilliance, which really makes people feel spectacular. However, only people like Lu Su will suddenly sit down and enjoy the snow, I still don't have such leisure and leisure, and after watching it for a while, I urge to go down the mountain.
Lu Su patted the snowflakes on his body at this time, and the three of them were about to go down the ridge, and when they were halfway there, the feeling of being peeed at came again, and it seemed to be right behind me. My back is very uncomfortable, and the back of my neck is also tight, on the other hand, the dumb man and Lu Su don't feel it, these two people are more vigilant and skilled than me, if there is danger, or something stalking and peeping, it should have been discovered a long time ago. Although I was sure that I was suspicious of the dark ghost, I couldn't help but look back, and at this look, my legs were suddenly softened, because in the slightly reflective blue ice layer, a gray-white puffy face suddenly appeared!
At this moment, it was staring at me greedily through the ice layer, its red eyes were greedily, its scarlet tongue was very long, and it licked its entire face violently.
I couldn't help but gasp, this movement alarmed the dumb man and Lu Su, and the two of them turned their heads one after another, but the big face sank down sharply and disappeared.
Lu Su and the dumb man turned around too slowly, naturally he didn't see anything, and he estimated that his face was wrong, Lu Su looked worried, and asked, "Brother Chen, what's wrong?" ”
"There's something in there." I pointed to the piece of ice that was far away, and described what I had just seen. The dumb man and Lu Su glanced at each other, and the two of them pulled their legs and rushed back. Soon, the three of us regrouped in front of the ice.
Lu Su stretched out his hand and knocked on it, and said in a deep voice: "The Xuan Ice Layer is a little thick. He pulled out the Devil's Cry knife again and slashed at the ice, only to hear a crisp sound, leaving a very striking white mark on the ice. But I know that the ability to cut gold and iron with the Devil's Crying Knife, and slash hard, but only leave a white mark, which is enough to show the hardness of this Xuan Ice Layer.
I immediately felt that something was wrong, I called it Dark Ice because of its slight blue color, which is the visual color difference produced by the crystal texture of the ice body becoming extremely tight, in fact, it is still transparent. The journey of Xuanbing is not a day or two days, nor a year or two years, but takes tens of millions of years and accumulates over time to form, so this kind of ice, mostly covered under snow and thin ice, or deep gully glaciers, is a typical symbol of the year.
But at the moment, it appears at the top of this snowy ridge, what does that mean?
The snowchair problem that had puzzled me before was finally solved, and I suddenly realized in my heart that the place we are now is not at the top of the snow ridge at all, and its real top has long been artificially bulldozed and destroyed, so this dark ice layer will be exposed!
As soon as I said my thoughts to the dumb two, Lu Su's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "A word to wake up the dreamer, it seems that this is the case, these eight achievements are the masterpieces of Puzhen, but what is he cutting the snow for what?" ”
No matter how famous this Pu Zhen is, he is just a mausoleum builder, he himself doesn't have much ability, what ability does he have to flatten a mountaintop? Moreover, this practice is also contrary to the art of tomb feng shui, which is really puzzling.
Lu Su continued: "But you said that you saw a human face in this Xuan Ice layer just now, could it be that this Xuan Ice is hollow?" "I understand Lu Su's thoughts, although he didn't finish speaking, he obviously wanted to ask: Could the Puzhen Tomb be built in the Xuan Ice Layer?
In fact, this is also my thought, what could be more suitable as a tomb than the ice that has been formed over thousands of years? Buried in it, there is no need for any embalming measures, and the body will not decay for thousands of years, and its benefits are self-evident. It's just that the traditional burial technique, embalming is only one of them, and more importantly, it is still important to pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, so it is easy to find a place with Xuan Bing, but it is very rare to have excellent feng shui by itself.
This Puzhen has built tombs for others all his life, and his vision is very high, and the tombs he built for himself, although we have not been in, but this site selection alone makes people feel convincing and breathtaking.
It's just that this layer of ice is so hard that it is hard to attack, so how easy is it to build a tomb inside? How did this work?
If the map in Chen's hand was poured out of the tomb of Puzhen, then how did Chenzi enter the mausoleum? At least I've gone through all the inverted tools that the team carried, and I could hardly think of anything else that could break through the ice except for the detonator explosives, but we carried very little explosives this time, because this thing is not suitable in the snowy mountains, and even if it is used, it is a means to end up together.
What are we going to do?
PS: Today is also the third watch, because I received a crown during the return to my hometown, I originally said that I would not change it, but everyone supported me so much, I decided not to disappoint everyone, are you very moved? Do you adore me very much? Well...... It should be (chin to the sky...... )
