Chapter 14: The Cave



I was dumbfounded, w-this fucking whack-a-mole? Fell into one hole and drilled out of another.

No...... It's not the point, the point is how did this other hole come about? That place just now was obviously intact, why was it broken in an instant? Seeing this, Xiaohua on the other side seemed to be a little surprised, and then she didn't know what to curse in her mouth, and immediately said to everyone: "Retreat." Of course, he didn't need to remind him, Xiuxiu and the men who came with him had already retreated, and Samba and I also retreated, so as not to be swallowed by the ever-expanding snow holes.

After a while, the hole finally stopped spreading, and the diameter of the entire snow hole expanded to nearly five meters, completely cutting off the road.

At this time, passerby A beckoned to Xiaohua and his party, his voice was lukewarm, and said, "Come around." "It's actually an indifferent expression, as a person who causes trouble to the team, there is no guilt, his cheek is thick, and he is really invincible.

I observed that the passer-by had an extra pair of gloves on his hands, and he was wearing both hands, because of the distance and the sunlight was too dazzling, I couldn't see clearly, only the color was jet black, it seemed to have a metallic texture, and the front end was very sharp. I knew in my heart, although I don't know how the hole appeared, but it was obviously related to this pair of gloves, it seems that my initial idea was not wrong, passerby A really has some ability.

Samba and I waited in front, watching Xiaohua and his party stick to the edge of the snow ditch, the two sides converged, and the time had been delayed a lot, and at this time, the wind was already mixed with a large amount of snow foam, and the overwhelming charming eyes were much more than the beginning, at this time I hurriedly said: "Samba, this weather doesn't seem right." ”

Xiuxiu's face was red from the cold, but her expression was still the same, and she didn't look tired, so she just heard her say: "This doesn't seem to be snow, it's scraped down from above." She pointed to the opposite path up the hill.

Samba looked nervous and said: "It seems that it is the east wind that blows the snow on the top of the mountain, and now the sun is big, the snow is loosened, and with such a wind, it is easy to have a snow flood, we have to hurry up, this ditch is not safe." After he finished speaking, he immediately opened the way with a serious face.

I sighed in my heart, sure enough, and asked, "Can we go out today?" ”

Samba looked at the sky worriedly, shook his head and said, "I can't say, it depends on the weather, if the wind can't stop, we have to stop when we go around the mountainside in front, I remember there is a cave there to avoid." ”

Xiaohua gestured and said, "Let's go first, let me be careful." The five big men answered in unison. In the past year, I haven't been in contact with Xie Yuhua often, but I feel that his personality has changed a lot, no...... Maybe this is his true character, that time in the Sichuan organ cave, he left the injured me alone and headed towards the goal, and at that moment I understood his cold-bloodedness.

Or rather, it was something that the heir of the Old Nine Sects had to bear, but even so, at that time, he covered everything up very well, at least from the outside, he was a humorous person, but today, a year later, he seems to have even taken off this coat, and it has become more unapproachable.

I don't know if it's because the Huo family's affairs put too much pressure on him, or if something else happened that I don't know, in short, the current interpretation of the flower makes me feel strange.

I took a deep look at his stiff face, lowered my head on the road, and the group was more careful on the way, and the wind did not tend to get smaller, but became stronger and stronger, and finally the person who blew could hardly even open his eyes, his cheeks froze, and he only felt the cold wind and cold snow rushing towards his face, and his nose was full of cold air. it.

I don't know how long I walked, Xiuxiu shouted: "No, this wind is too strong, I'm afraid it's dangerous to go further." She was in the wind and snow, and her voice seemed to be blown away at any time in the wind.

I also hurriedly asked, "Samba, how long is that cave you are talking about?" Samba didn't have any equipment on him, he was more relaxed than we were, and he kept his head down, his eyes constantly searching around. It seemed to me that the scenery around me was exactly the same, the white snow, the gray dead branches, I couldn't see where to go, and Samba, looking at the red mulberries emerging in the snow, looking at the footprints left by the animals, could always find the direction, he said: "It's not far away, there should be a big snowstorm next, we must stop." ”

As Samba expected, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and I looked up at the sky, and the sun in the sky was gone, gathering a thick haze. After more than four hours, we finally walked out of the snow ditch, and there was a flat snow road in front of us, so we didn't have to worry about the snow bubbles. Samba led us in search of the cave and soon found it.

It is the most conspicuous one, and it is covered with snow everywhere, and only that area shows yellow stones, so it stands out in the snow. The roof of the cave is lined with old dead trees, and the heavy trunks keep the snow at bay, leaving the rocks below exposed.

When we entered the cave, the sharp wind and snow that had been blowing on our bodies disappeared in an instant, and the feeling of strong contrast was as refreshing as walking into an air-conditioned room on a sweaty summer day.

As soon as the Great Khan entered the cave, they hurriedly unloaded their equipment, and I may have experienced it in the past two years, but I habitually observed the surrounding environment first, but at this time, I found that the cave was deep, and the outside was a circular hollow, which gradually narrowed inward, and there, I found traces of a bonfire.

There was a noticeable pile of ash on the ground, and there were leftover food packages around, and it seemed that someone had stopped here not long ago, and looking at the number of these food packages, it was either a long time or a lot of people.

My heart moved, thinking, could it be the second uncle? He is looking for that map, will he also go to Kunlun Mountain? Although I was suspicious, but there was no basis in the end, I told Xiaohua about my thoughts, Xiaohua frowned, and said, "It's okay if it's your second uncle's person." ”

I asked, "Could it be that there are other people running to that hellish place?" ”

Xie Yuhua smiled and said, "I don't know if there are others, but ...... Since these people will stay in this cave, it is estimated that they are in the same situation as us. Samba, is this kind of weather common? ”

Two big men cut down a lot of branches from the bare dead tree on the top of the cave, and Samba was lighting a fire, and when he heard this, he said: "Wind and snow are common, but such a big wind and snow usually only appear when the east wind is strong, and it is not encountered several times a month." ”

I listened to the conversation between the two and asked thoughtfully, "Then do you remember the last time this wind blew in this mountain?" ”

Samba thought for a moment and said, "About a week ago." "A week ago, it was the time when the second uncle knocked me out.

I asked, "Is there a team like us going around this mountain?" ”

Samba thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I don't know, we are close to Qinghai Lake here, there are many tourists, and there are many people who climb these snow-capped mountains, I don't have any images, but speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen someone like you who doesn't climb the mountain but goes backwards." ”

At this point, he looked at me and seemed to think that I was easier to speak, so he asked, "Behind this mountain, there is the Ganggang vein, are you going to explore?" "Ganggang is a very big or long way to describe it locally, and Samba is about strange, after all, the snowfield behind Nima is a place where there is nothing for him.

I smiled and didn't answer, and lay down with my gear bag on my pillow, looking at the top of the cave.

I almost have a very strong intuition that it was the second uncle who had rested in this cave, not only because of the correspondence in time, but also because of what Xiuxiu said about Chen Wenjin, her appearance was too coincidental.

If the third uncle had gone to Tianyuan Coffin a year ago, then Chen Wenjin might also be there now, then the second uncle in front of us, and then us, there were already four groups of people before and after.

Chen Wenjin said, 'All the secrets are hidden there, perhaps, that is the last hope', what does this last hope refer to? And what is that secret about?

Does it refer to the ghost seal, or does it refer to everything behind the bronze door? If all this is to find the third ghost seal, it will be a bit of a big fuss, if they know, I have a ghost seal in my hand, I don't know if Chen Wenjin and the third uncle will jump their feet.
