Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Harmony of Yin and Yang

I watched my breath, really calmed down, and began to sort out all the clues about my great-master ancestor, as well as all the information about Genting Mountain, and then I came to an astonishing conclusion.

This place is a real underground magma outlet, but only a small outlet, and the internal pressure is not very high. And there is a Yin Qi spiritual vein in the belly of Yunding Mountain, which just passed through this vicinity, and a large amount of low-temperature negative spiritual energy neutralized the temperature of the magma outlet, reaching a delicate balance, so the magma temperature here is low and stable.

If the magma is directly impacted with water, there will be a terrible explosion and vibration, and it will not be stable. The Yin Qi Spirit Vein is not water, its temperature is lower than water, and it can penetrate through a wide range of soil and rocks, and a large amount of Yin Qi gradually reduces the temperature of the lava outlet to keep this area stable.

The cold and hot holes are equivalent to the skylights of the Yin Qi Spirit Vein and the Earthfire Lava, although only a little cold and hot air leaks out, but the pressure inside will not gather, which is also the key to maintaining stability.

Lao Lin once speculated that the perennial fog in Yunding Mountain was due to the water vapor of distant rivers and rice fields being blocked by the mountain peaks and condensing when it encountered cold or hot air. In fact, this statement is not accurate enough, I dare to say that most of the reason for the generation of clouds and fog is the result of the harmony of yin and yang in the yin qi spiritual veins and lava heat in the belly of the mountain, and the little cold and hot air coming out of the cold hole and the hot hole is not enough to cause a large area of clouds and mist.

The sky is changing, people are in harmony with men and women, the earth is in balance with heat and cold, and the principle of yin and yang repelling each other and harmonizing each other is omnipresent.

Knowing this truth, I saw hope, since this is the intersection of the Yin Qi Spirit Vein and the Earthfire Lava, then there must be some places where the temperature is particularly low. If I can find a place with a lower temperature to cross the valley and get close to the Yin Qi spiritual veins, I won't be killed by the heat.

The third senior brother of the Snake Intestine Valley once used the Yin Qi Spirit Vein to cultivate, and he could sense the Great Master Ancestor, which proved that the Great Master Ancestor was also near the Yin Qi Spirit Vein, which was like one in the upper reaches of the river and the other in the lower reaches of the river, so it was easy to communicate.

I don't know that Great-Master Weishenme came here, and Weishenme entered a state of immortality, but he must be in the most important place of the Yin Qi Spiritual Vein, and the most important place is the place where Yin and Yang are reconciled, so he must be nearby! Great-Master Ancestor should not have come in along our road, then there is still a way to reach this vicinity, as long as we find Great-Master, we can go out from the road he came!

I said my idea, Lin Mei and Xiaoxue agreed, but when I said that I would go down to find the way myself, they didn't agree, because the temperature below can instantly roast people, and the rope will be burned quickly, which is really dangerous.

I can't go down, of course I can only go out of Xiaoxue, she is a spirit body that can withstand high temperatures, as long as she is not too close to the magma, she is fine, and she can walk in the air, the efficiency will be much higher.

Xiaoxue immediately jumped off the cliff again, carefully exploring every place, before she only roughly tested the temperature, thinking that the temperature below was very high, and did not explore it carefully at all. There is no need to explore the side where there is magma, the light snow starts in the opposite direction, but the temperature on this side is also very high, and the living cannot stay at all.

After turning around for half a circle, Xiaoxue suddenly cheered: "There is a ditch here, it feels very cool, maybe you can hold it." I'll go back to the front and look at ......."

Xiaoxue disappeared into the darkness and soon returned: "Childe, your speculation is correct, it is really much cooler over there, but there is a small part of this ditch that is still very hot for you, I don't know if you can go over." ”

I hurriedly asked, "How much is the distance?" How high is the temperature? ”

"This ...... It is about five zhang long, and I can't estimate the temperature, but it should be hotter than boiling water, that is, in the lowest part of the valley, the road surface is not easy to walk, there are downhill and uphill. ”

The temperature is more than 100 degrees, the distance is more than ten meters, and the road surface is not easy to walk...... If it's just me, adjust the aura as much as possible and wrap the surface of the body with the aura, and rush over. But I tried my best to protect myself, so I couldn't take care of Lin Mei, what should she do?

I looked at Lin Mei, who looked at me very calmly and said, "I can go over." ”

I believed in her perseverance and courage, but it was not something that could be persevered by perseverance and courage, and I held her hand tightly and said very seriously: "You must completely listen to my arrangement!" ”

"Good!" Lin Mei replied very simply, she knew that it was impossible for me to leave her, so it would be hypocritical to talk more nonsense.

Xiaoxue sighed: "I didn't see a cave or anything like that over there just now, and there may not be a way to survive if I rushed over, do you really want to take risks?" ”

I said with certainty, "Yes!" There is absolutely no chance here, you can only wait for death, and if you rush over, there may be a turnaround. ”

Along the way, none of our ropes were retrieved, and only Zuihou was left. I tied the rope but didn't dare to hang it down completely, because the temperature below was too high and it might burn out quickly, so I could only put the rope down while descending, and I was in front of Lin Mei behind.

Xiaoxue led the way in front, walking to the place with the lowest temperature, nothing happened all the way, but the further down we went, the higher the temperature, even if we walked in the area with the lowest temperature, we were a little unbearable, and Lin Mei's sideburns and hair were already slightly curly.

Before I reached the area that Xiaoxue said, I was a little unbearable, my skin was like a flame, and what I inhaled into my lungs was not like air, but more like fire, burning from my nose to my lungs, and there was so little oxygen that I needed to breathe desperately otherwise I couldn't breathe at all, which caused dizziness and nausea...... It's like dancing in a red-hot pot!

Lin Mei can only rely on a little negative aura from me to cool down, it should be more difficult than me, but maybe her tolerance is amazing, or women are more able to withstand high temperatures, and they can still hold on.

I originally thought that the place I had to cross was only a super high temperature area of more than ten meters, but I didn't expect that it would be unbearable before we reached that area, but I was afraid that when we arrived there, we were exhausted, where could we sprint? Stay one more second, one step closer to death, now it's impossible to turn back, I can only fight to buy time.

Fortunately, the ground below has become gentle, and I don't need to use ropes, I didn't hesitate to pick up Lin Mei, and use the circle method to release Yin attribute aura, wrap the two of us, and then let my legs run wildly - I have to hold her or carry her on my back to be able to protect her whole body.

Xiaoxue returned to my body, receiving me with aura, under the protection of the powerful yin attribute aura, I felt a lot more comfortable on the surface of my body, but running with a person on my back consumed more oxygen, I couldn't breathe, and my chest seemed to be torn apart.

Finally reached the area with the highest temperature at the valley floor, I rushed directly without stopping a single step, at this time I was already a little drowsy, my eyes were black, all supported by a will, if I stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, I might fall down and not be able to stand up.

I don't know if I ever rushed past the hottest area, because then I was numb, didn't feel anymore, and my vision became blurry. Eventually, it was completely dark in front of my eyes, and it felt like I was falling into a bottomless abyss, but it was short-lived, and after a few moments I felt a sweet spring in my mouth, and a cool sensation came from my face, chest, and arms, and then Lin Mei carried me on her back and ran quickly, I could smell her violent panting, and the scorching smell of her hair.

I couldn't concentrate on my aura, but after I woke up, Xiaoxue and my aura began to work, protecting me and Lin Mei againβ€”it was Xiaoxue helping me control my aura.

"Childe, don't worry, we've passed......" I heard Xiaoxue's voice, and my mind was relieved, and then it was a little blurry, but I have always relied on a subconscious or instinct to maintain the method of turning the circle of hearts, and Xiaoxue's aura has also been injecting to protect me and Lin Mei.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed, Lin Mei and I both fell to the ground, and then she dragged me with great effort, and I leaned my back against a cool place, and my mind became more and more conscious, and it didn't take long for me to fully wake up and open my eyes.

The night pearl glowed softly white before my eyes, the dark red glow of the lava in the distance was still visible, and the temperature was still very high, but slightly lower than on the top of the mountain. The stone wall behind me revealed a hint of coolness, although it was faint, but it made me feel extremely comfortable and secure.

I turned my head and saw Lin Mei, she was also leaning against the stone wall and gasping for breath, looking very weak, her hair was scattered and curly, especially her hair was slightly burnt, but there were no blisters on her face...... Xiaoxue's aura and I protected the bodies of the two of us, and Lin Mei's hair was long, and it was scorched when she was thrown out of the aura protection layer when she ran.

"We ...... It worked. I looked at her, and my right hand was holding her left hand. It doesn't matter who saved whom, who helped whom, the important thing is that we came.

Xiaoxue snorted: "It's not that I'm going to hit you, I'm coming, but there is no exit here, not even a crack, and only this small area is cooler, and it's still very hot not far from both sides." Also, I just spilled a pot of water on you, and now there is no water to drink. ”

I didn't have the strength to talk more, so I retorted to her in my heart: "The yin qi of the leylines in this place is particularly heavy, the reason is that there is a cave or space not far from here, and the yin qi is particularly easy to circulate, maybe it is just separated by a thin layer of stone walls......"

As I spoke, I picked up a small stone and knocked it on the stone wall a few times, but there was a solid voice that seemed to laugh at my mistakes. I scrambled to my feet, tapping in a wider area, but all I heard was real sound. If the thickness of the stone wall is more than one meter, and the sound of the knock is also real, this place is a not too hard volcanic rock, if it is only one or two meters thick, it is possible for me to dig through.

Of course, it is also possible that there is no cave behind the stone wall, just a small gap, but this is my only hope, and without this hope, I would have collapsed now. I asked Xiaoxue to hand me the hammer in the bag, and I picked up the hammer and smashed the stone wall, and when the hammer went down, the gravel fell, and the stone wall was solidified by lava, and it was not too hard.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

After smashing more than a dozen hammers, I felt physically and mentally exhausted, put down the hammer and leaned against the stone wall to gasp, but then there was a sound of rock breaking from inside the stone wall. At first I thought it was an echo, but it grew denser and closer, and it sounded like a giant rock-breaking machine drilling a hole.

I was taken aback, could it be that the sound of me knocking on the stone wall alarmed an underground superbeast?
