Chapter 156: Into the Valley of Death

After days of fruitless searching, when there was still half of the food left, they set off for home.

A few days later, the trio set off again, this time with a ski cart and climbed the Kunlun Snow Peak.

The snow line connects the sky, and the cattle and horses are roaming. The Kunlun ruins span thousands of miles, and the peak is covered in silver all year round, and the clouds and mist are shrouded. In addition to the harsh low temperature environment, the snow hides bottomless ice caves, and even cracks and faults, which are like cliffs.

The snow peaks are steep and there is no grabbing to cling to them, especially when crossing the slopes, and if you step on the snow layer, it will induce an avalanche, and there is no chance of survival before a devastating disaster.

For this reason, Tan Luo and Mo Qianxuan, under the leadership of Ah Ren, came to a dangerous bridge, which was the best shortcut to cross the snow peak.

The bridge is in fact a chain bridge, wide enough for four people to walk side by side. On both sides of the bridge, the cliffs are opposite, the strange rocks are craggy, the valley bottom is deep, the Golmud River formed by the confluence of snow water and spring water, rushes down from thousands of zhang of high mountain canyons, and the turbulence is endless.

Walking on a chain bridge is different from land, and the faster you walk, the more the bridge sways, and the long chain bridge sways from canyon to canyon at a frequency visible to the naked eye. Due to the age, the wind and rain eroded the wooden planks under his feet, and there were rotten cracks in many places.

In the past, Tan Luo could fly through this canyon with her sword, but now it was different, she looked at the other side hidden in the white mist, grasped the iron chain, and walked slowly.

The deafening sound of water echoed in the valley, and through the gaps in the wooden planks, overlooking the room, the feet were rushing and roaring, constantly stirring up layers of snow-white spray. A feeling of dizziness suddenly came to her, she stopped, looked at the four dogs following her, and sadly found that she was not even as good as a dog.

Ah Ren looked back at the girl and saw that she was shutting her eyes tightly and adjusting her breathing.

"The water here is fast, and you will be dizzy after watching it for a long time, so the girl just needs to look ahead, don't stare at her feet."

"Don't look at your feet, what if the unlucky and sad plank breaks" she muttered quietly, simply bypassing the two people in front of her, using the wind control technique, tiptoe to the ground, and slowly drifted to the opposite shore after a few takeoffs.

Seeing this, Mo Qianxuan lifted his breath and stepped on the iron chain, like a flying swallow after the rain, the black big sword flew and agitated, and swept next to the woman in the blink of an eye.

Ah Ren arrived with his ski car and said with a smile: "Both of them are extremely light, and the abyss is like walking on the ground." ”

Mo Qianxuan bowed his head and raised his eyes to look at the peak, the terrain here is gentle, and traces of artificial excavation can be seen everywhere, and it is indeed more appropriate to go up the mountain from here.

Climb along the stone stairs all the way, the cold wind blows on the face, the cold air hits people, the grass and snow chrysanthemum on the mountain road are more and more scarce, and the rock and soil under the feet are hard, which is the permafrost layer of the plateau. When a moccasin boot is stepped on it, it makes a crunchy sound, like stepping on a hard rock.

Passing by an altar made of stones and pebbles, the Mani Pile, Ah Ren stopped, carefully added stones to the Mani Pile, and reverently touched his forehead and prayed in his mouth.

Beyond the bare rock field, a white, frozen world appeared in front of you, and the vision was filled with endless snow and jagged ice cones several feet high.

At first, the snow on the hill reached the soles of the boots, and after a short walk, it reached the ankles. Before they reached the summit, the snow here was relatively loose, so they would not be able to take a step down.

As they reached the ice mound, the ice picks jutting out of the snow became taller and taller. Moreover, the aura here is so pure and vigorous, is it really the entrance to the legendary fairyland, where the teleportation array once appeared?

Tan Luo looked with his divine sense, and saw that there was a trickling undercurrent hidden under the ice mound.

Although this is an extremely cold place, judging from the unique cultivation conditions here, it is very likely that the witch doctor will appear on the peak.

Ah Ren then pointed to a craggy ice pick and explained: "These ice picks will grow and burst, and when they burst, the groundwater will gush out, some of which are tens of feet high, and make a loud noise. Further on, you will enter the ancient glacial area, and remember not to collide with these ice picks to avoid causing avalanches. ”

With that, Ren let them get on a snowmobile and rush to the summit.

"Before sunset, I'll take you to the summit, where there is a giant cirque, surrounded on three sides by cliffs. It is rumored that some Qiang people have discovered a giant ice fetus, which is lifelike and is a rare earth-born fetus. Ah Ren drove the dog and sped through the snow.

Two hours later, they came to the edge of the cirque that Aren had spoken.

Tan Luo overlooks the white vast depression, and the aura here is indeed the most abundant. In the fairy world, where the aura of heaven and earth is gathered, all things will give birth to souls and turn into ghosts, thus transforming into spirits and monsters. The human world, often in rocks, glaciers, and trees, will give birth to something similar to a baby, which will be born by mortals.

Ah Ren's explanation for this is the fairy fetus of the Queen Mother of the West.

The legend about the Queen Mother of the West originated from a kingdom of women that existed in Kunlun Ruins thousands of years ago, and many tribes were headed by women. Later, it was worshipped as a god in charge of immortality, and its human-like shape was like a leopard's tail and tiger teeth, and it was a hoopoe with unkempt hair.

"Look at the sky!" Ah Ren suddenly shouted with excitement, and Tan Luo then looked at the sky.

In front of her, there was a round of golden red dazzling sunset, as if it was close at hand, the clouds were churning, brilliant as splendor, floating and golden. The sunset glow shines through the clouds, outlining the warm Phnom Penh, which is magnificent.

A golden silence reigns over the ice hills, and the mountains in the distance are clothed in the color of the sunset. The snow is white and stretches as far as the eye can see.

The wind sounded, the colorful prayer flags fluttered, and the copper bells were crisp, echoing in the empty valley for a long time. Look up at the white clouds in the blue sky, see the snow on the icebergs up close, look at the endless lake in the distance, bathe in the holy light of the sunset, and listen to the Sanskrit sound in the distant sky.

Ah Ren immediately held a kind of wind horse flag called "Ronda" on the ski car in his hand and scattered it into the sky with the wind. The brightly colored wind horse flag slid down his fingertips and flew away, and the man closed his eyes and prayed for the help of the gods.

The mountains in the distance lie quietly, dark blue peaks overlapping and covered with layers of snow, standing in the vast sky where there is a remnant of the sun.

When the sunset completely disappears into the clouds, the whole mountain stands majestically, with white tops and black rocks, and a faint blue mist shrouded in the snow peaks, the fairy atmosphere is ethereal, mysterious, and the scenery is shocking.

After Ren finished praying, he pointed to the end of the ice bucket: "Legend has it that there is a ladder on the mountain that can lead directly to the heavenly palace, which is a passage between the world and the fairyland. Two hundred years ago, someone once saw a rainbow-like glow here, an immortal stepped on the ladder, and countless floating fairy islands appeared in the sky, and the colorful phoenix soared, beautiful. ”

Hearing this, Tan Luo checked the place with her pupil, there were indeed traces of tearing in the space, and it seemed that someone had set up a teleportation array here and forcibly broke into the fairy world.

The reason why the other party is breaking in is because the necessary conditions for successfully opening the teleportation array are the array and the jade rune, if the jade rune is missing, the only way is to choose the place where the aura is most strong, open the enchantment through the formation, and take the opportunity to break in. However, this is quite risky, ordinary monks trespass into the Six Realms, and if they are not careful, they will be torn apart by the cracks in time and space.

In this world, she can travel through the Six Realms as she wants without a teleportation array, and as far as she knows, there are only ancient true gods.

Although it is unknown what the connection between this witch doctor and the teleportation array is, it seems that there is no trace of human activity in this place at this time.

"Well, is this it?" Mo Qianxuan stepped forward and asked out loud.

"It's not." With her eyesight, there was no mystery under the ice.

"Let's go, let's search elsewhere." After the sunset of the snow peak, it would be dark for a long time, Mo Qianxuan sat back on the ski car and motioned for Ah Ren to continue to lead the way.

They spent several days in the snow, from the first encouragement to the later aimlessness. The area of Kunlun Ruins was carefully searched by them, but there was still no progress.

Until early one morning, Mo Qianxuan's eyes suddenly burned and he couldn't see, and everyone finally decided to leave the snow mountain to relieve snow blindness.

Inside the yurt, Tan Luo privately found Ah Ren and asked him to carefully recall where he had not set foot in this area.

Ah Ren thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "Except for Death Valley, I have found other places. ”

"Death Valley?"

"That's right, it's the gate of hell in Kunlun Ruins, let alone the living, even cattle and sheep don't dare to enter. The valley is inhabited by evil spirits, and any living creature that intrudes into the valley of death will be expelled by thunder and lightning, and the witch doctor will never choose to live in seclusion there. ”

"Thunder and lightning expulsion?" Occasionally, there is a thunder ability among the monks, but no matter what, the only way to find out is to go and find out in person.

"That's right, no one who strayed into the valley of death will come back alive." Ah Ren continued, "Miss Tan Luo might as well stay here for a few more days, and then make plans after Ah Xuan's eyes recover. ”

"Okay, I'll go back to my room first." Epilo strode forward, and in the night, she was heading to Death Valley.

When the sky breaks, Epiphany rides to the edge of Death Valley. She looked up at the dark sky, the thunderclouds rolling, it wouldn't be so effective.

Overhead, there are simply two heavens, the sky outside the valley is clear, and the sky is high and refreshing; The valley was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Even high-ranking monks can't control thunderclouds for a long time.

It is said that she is transformed by ancient trees, and she is the most thunderous. I hope she won't be cleaved into scum before the thunderstorm comes. Epilo dismounted and stepped cautiously into the valley.

Death Valley was lush and eerily quiet, littered with animal carcasses and blackened ancient trees, exuding an eerie aura of death.

From time to time, Tan Luo raised her eyes to look at the thunder and lightning flashing in the dark clouds, and the suppressed and dull feeling of suffocation kept coming to her heart.

She silently thought that she had never done anything harmful in her life, let alone abandoned her husband and children, and she was doing it properly, it was impossible to be so unlucky and sad to have a low idea, and she made a miserable move when she entered the minefield.

With a rumbling sound in the sky, a blue-purple lightning bolt burst through the sky, spanning the entire sky, winding and circling like a dragon, swooping down on the earth, and at the same moment, the green field behind her was suddenly scorched and blackened.

It won't be so decaying, I'm really going to hack her!

Thunder and lightning thundered, booming and exploding, and the drowsy sky was like fireworks.

Tan Luo's face was solemn, and the wind was blowing under her feet, and she fled between countless falling lightning bolts.
