Chapter 199 Climbing the Qifeng Road is ordinary, and the cave is shallow to ponder
Walking by the stone tablet again, there is no change in this world, everything is impressive, and it is now counted - thinking about the situation in that array, the strange tree is fierce, the miasma black smoke, and said sadly: "Brother Bao, this... Do you think this is like the second level? ”
The Supreme Treasure looked down slightly, and pondered: "The situation of the three levels mentioned by the mother-in-law, the Vajra lion mentioned in the first level, that is right; The second level said that according to what the mother-in-law said, it should be a thousand caves and ghost rocks, and the rocks pierce the clouds, and it should be a labyrinth," he recalled what he saw before he fell into a coma, and said: "Although what we went to is also a maze out of a trick, but it is different from what the mother-in-law said.
"Mother-in-law has always been careful, and she won't be fooled easily," Yusheng said: "The second level is a maze, and the third level is a ghost array—do you think this is the third level of the big array, so it's wrong?" ”
"It doesn't seem so! The Supreme Treasure shook his head: "Although the things we experienced just now are grotesque and strange, they are not considered to be in a position, especially the Buddha was left to guide people... In fact, I think the biggest possibility is that no one has been on this island for many years, and there are rumors that there has been a mistake; Otherwise, it was the Holy Mother of the Pure Kingdom who deliberately released such false news to the outside world! ”
"That's right!" Hearing what the Supreme Treasure said, Yu Shengyan suddenly exclaimed softly: "That woman is extremely vicious, it is not impossible to do this... It's just," she frowned, and continued, "In that case, the third level is a bit difficult to speculate. ”
Seeing the appearance of Yusheng Yan, the Supreme Treasure didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly he smiled: "So what? As the saying goes: soldiers come to the enemy. Water comes to the earth weir, in the meantime, the way is man-made - as long as we think hard, meticulously plan, spare no effort, and do it wholeheartedly, what can not be done, can not be done? ”
He pointed in the direction he had come from and continued, "Look! Nor are we trapped in such labyrinths, so why should we be afraid? ”
This unprovoked courage seems very presumptuous and ignorant. If Yusheng Yan knew about his crazy move just now. I can't even say that I still feel naïve and ridiculous, but with this ignorant and ridiculous encouragement, Yushengyan actually added great courage and nodded heavily. Resolutely said 'um'.
On the road again...
The path descends from the rocky wall around the island. A section of gravel is followed by a passage through a waterhole. Immediately after that, there was a labyrinth of meadows, but from then on, the two of them walked along the dirt path between the grass and trees to the starry sky. The legendary third level was also not encountered.
The two sat on the bluestone on the side of the road to rest for a while, ate a little, drank water and rubbed their legs, and discussed what to do next-although Yusheng Yan didn't say it, but Supreme Treasure saw her face and understood her intentions, so he suggested that he should hurry overnight until he found the third level and then make plans...
Yushengyan naturally had no objection to this, nodded and responded: "It's okay to work hard, as long as you can find your mother one step earlier, it's worth the hardship..." ”
"That's not true," Supreme Treasure also looked at it, and said with a smile: "I also want to settle the matter earlier, and then go to see Grandpa-you know, I really think he's a little ruthless." ”
The distant mountain peaks were hidden in the clouds and mist, faintly under the moonlight, and they were full of indescribable temptations—the two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
By midnight, the two had come to the bottom of the mountain.
The area I just walked through, at first it was full of swamps, and behind it was a dry sandy land, but there were no ups and downs all the way, and it was not until this moment that it gradually went up, and the whole terrain was placed in front of the two of them - this mountain is like a cone, the twin peaks are inserted into the clouds, the height is more than a thousand zhang, the top of the cone only seems to have been flattened, and the countless arches below are supported by rocks, as if a huge beast's claws stand in front of it, and the toes are stretched out in all directions, and many canyons are formed between the toes, and the valley is overgrown with trees, and the last clump of trees is straight to the top of the lower cone.
The second cone was on top of the first, slightly rounded, slightly to the side, like a large round hat worn crookedly over the ear, and on the surface there were patches of red stone protruding - from a distance, there was no hole in it that could be accessed, and it did not look like a prisoner at all.
The two of them looked at the terrain, and could only climb up the low cone peak, preparing to go up from there.
The night was beautiful and quiet, and the surrounding light was not too dark, and the Supreme Treasure and Yusheng Yan walked side by side, not saying a word on the road. There were some places on the mountain road that were open, and they walked smoothly; In some places, the way was blocked by rocks, and only a narrow path remained, and the two went separately; In other places, there are no roads, and they can only rely on the weeds and dead branches in the cracks of the mountain walls.
After a night of hard work, until the sky turned white, the two finally reached the top of the low cone, and before they could pass through the valley between the two peaks to the mountain of the high cone, they had already seen the difference between the peaks—
This peak seems to be the same from a distance, but now when I get closer, I can clearly see that the whole peak is phosphorescent and shining, and the black rock exudes a metallic light, shrouded in a cold atmosphere, and suddenly rises sharply, straight into the sky, don't say that the two of them can't climb up, even if they can't go up!
Because the mountain is too high and too steep!
The Supreme Treasure turned around in amazement, and was about to ask Yu Sheng Yan how it was good, but he didn't expect to turn around, and the Yu Sheng Yan had suddenly held his hands and exclaimed in surprise: "This is the mountain!" This is the mountain! As my mother-in-law said, my mother was imprisoned on this mountain, and as long as we can go up, we can find my mother and rescue her! ”
"Really?" In this way, the Supreme Treasure couldn't help but rejoice, and exclaimed, "Are you sure it's here?" ”
"Definitely! My mother-in-law once said that the mountain where my mother is imprisoned is a towering peak, there is not a single gap in the cliff, and the smooth mountain eagle has nowhere to stay! ”
"But," the Supreme Treasure looked at the mountain peak from afar, and said with a wry smile, "It's just... It seems that we don't have a place to stay on the mountain! ”
"Huh?"
With the white glow of the fish's belly, the two of them walked towards the high cone peak together, and they couldn't stop looking all the way, but until they reached the bottom of the peak, they didn't find any path to climb up - it's just that, after bypassing the rocks that stood in the way at the back, a huge hole appeared in front of them!
The entrance to the cave is pitch black, and there is no bottom in the depths, and I don't know where it leads, and the only sign is a lifelike lotus flower, which is carved into the stone wall of the cave entrance!
The outline of this cave is poor, the edges and corners are clear, it seems to be natural, and the stone slurry solidified like water ripples has paved layers of natural stairs on the ground, and some artificial repairs have been added to it... Although it seems that this cave leads straight to the bottom of the mountain, it is impossible to think about it now, so we can only try it from now on to see if there is anything new to discover.
The two of them glanced at it hurriedly, and without hesitation they walked into the cave, and the more they looked in, the more dim the light became. There was not a trace of light in the cave, nor did there be any smoke, but the cave was filled with an indescribable smell, just like the smell of pills emanating from the Dan furnace, and the two of them were puzzled in their hearts, but when they listened quietly, there was no sound in the cave, not even a faint stir.
The two of them held the fire fold prepared by their mother-in-law in their hands, which was bright and vigorous, and they saw that the road ahead was very clear.
As they walked, the two of them faced down more and more, only to feel that the smell of sulfur was more pungent, and the Supreme Treasure saw that the wall of the cave was wet, and reached out to touch it, and if there was warmth in the tentacles, he touched the pungent slurry water wrapped in fine powder all over his hands...
In the beginning, as the pit descended deeper, the air became more humid and the temperature became lower and lower, and there was even cold ice hanging on the cave wall, which did not melt all year round, and some of it even existed here during the Yaoshun period; After that, the temperature seemed to rise slowly, and the Supreme Treasure often saw some animal bones, insects, and moss; Descending again, it was cold again, but it was much better than the previous cold; It didn't take long for this cold breath to spread, and streams of heat spread up from the ground. You can even hear a rumbling sound coming from nowhere.
The temperature was too high, and there was a dry and hot wind in the air, and the two of them only felt uncomfortable with dry skin, which was extremely uncomfortable. Yusheng Yan was slightly better, but the Supreme Treasure was desperately licking his dry and chapped lips, Yusheng Yan thought about it, and handed the most despised water bag to the Supreme Treasure, "Drink it, it can feel better." ”
Supreme Treasure smiled, took the water bag, but he drank a little, then put away the most stubborn water bag and tied it tightly around his waist, seeing Yusheng Yan looking at him, Supreme Treasure just smiled, and said: "Keep it, I don't know what is behind..."
She was about to say a few words, suddenly a huge space appeared in front of the two of them, everything was fiery red, the scorching heat was rising and gushing out, not far ahead, in front of her was a large pit several feet wide, pieces of magma slowly flowing up from the ground, churning countless blisters in the crimson lake water, the dark red magma was silently advancing, forming an unfathomable chasm, blocking the two of them.
The road is no longer visible here, and if you continue to look ahead, except for the magma, it is a fiery red stone block that seems to be shaking in the magma.
Behind the blazing fire, the white smoke blocked the sight of the two, and they could no longer see clearly!
The two of them didn't know what to do, and suddenly, I don't know where a hot wind blew, which instantly blew away the rising white eyes, and the whole situation behind it was revealed-
Crimson, crimson, or crimson!
In front of me, the big pit with a radius of 100 zhang was full of the crimson river flowing magma, gurgling out of the ground in the middle part, and then divided into countless rivers flowing down from all around, neither where did it come from nor where it went, the only thing I could see was that the bottom of this bucket was like the earth, and it was all hot!
On the opposite side of the mountain wall, a ladder-like path can be seen in the distance, extending from the low end all the way up, and then disappearing into a dark cave - that should be where Yushengyan's mother is imprisoned!
But how can this be passed?
Level 3! (To be continued......)
