Chapter 40: The Top of the Snowy Mountain (I)
Regardless of yesterday's hard work, the two of them went to the laboratory early to prepare, and by the time Kane and William arrived, they had already done the preparations.
"Why so early?" William sensitively noticed something unusual.
"Bai Ruo estimates that he can only stay for three or five months, and he has to step up his progress. Da Ai said.
"Is something wrong?" asked William with concern.
Da Aidao briefly told William and Kane about yesterday's events.
"Then speed up, when Bai Ruo records his memories in a while, Kane and I will start to prepare for the quantum recorder, and it is estimated that it will be completed in three or five days. ”
William said, his hand picking up speed.
Under Bai Ruo's memory, the Animus brought everyone to the early Shang era.
A few simple thatched houses, a few acres of short hedged fields, a stream of blue water, Wu Xian sat on a bamboo chair, stroked the pastoral dog around him, and watched his wife Xinyu holding a green radish basket to summon the chickens in the distance, a wisp of the sun, dark green in the middle of the mountain, quiet and sweet, very comfortable.
Suddenly, the style of painting changed, and the picture returned to the scene of yesterday's Great Love Road proposal.
"Stop, Kane, stop. ”
Da Aidao greeted Kane while hurriedly running to Bai Ruo's side and helping her down.
"There is a man from heaven, I am leaving now, remember not to be sad, it will affect my consciousness to return to its place. ”
After Bai Ruo finished speaking, he fell on the body of Great Love.
"What's wrong? Is Bai Ruo okay? Is there something wrong with the Animus?"
William also ran over and asked eagerly.
"People from heaven are gone, and they have nothing to do with the Animus. ”
Da Aidao didn't show much sadness, he knew that Chang'e was still there, and now what he was holding in his hand was just a body that Chang'e had used.
"Then hurry up and save it, see if you can save it!"
"It's useless, at least three years, at most a hundred years, she will come back. Let's just keep this body. ”
Everyone was a little reluctant in their hearts, but everyone knew in their hearts that they were actually just leaving temporarily.
"Before leaving, E'er told us not to be sad, otherwise it would affect her consciousness and return to its place. It's not that we won't come back, let's deal with Bai Ruo's body first. ”
The Great Love Dao is actually very reluctant, people are in God, and now God is gone, leaving a body with six roots and six senses lost, and I don't know when I can come back.
Yesterday's newlywed went today, and the empty Liusi people were empty-to-air.
The flowers have gone, the people are not there, and they will come again in the spring and autumn.
Now that it's over, let's just slow down. After handing over the work of the laboratory to colleagues at Harbin Institute of Technology, the three of them drove three maglev bicycles across the whole of China from east to west, and then from Xinjiang to Tibet from north to south, aiming at the top of Mount Everest.
It was winter, and it was very cold in Harbin, and it was cold in northern China.
In order to ensure that Bai Ruo's body did not decay, the three of them first made an ice coffin with local materials in Songhua River, and after cleaning Bai Ruo's body, sorting out her clothes, and putting wormwood in her mouth before putting it in the ice coffin.
The main reason for using three bicycles is to worry about the ice coffin and Bai Ruo, and if you add Daai Dao, it may exceed the load of the bicycle.
The route was decided, William and Kane were in front, Bai Ruo's bicycle was set to follow closely behind, and the three bicycles were no more than 100 meters in front of and behind, and the speed was only set at half speed.
Three cars as far north as possible, Harbin departed through Xilingrad, considering the taboo of Chinese culture, but also did not want to leave Bai Ruo outside, the three of them were on the bicycle, automatic cruise 24 hours day and night, the next day to reach the city.
"Tomorrow I want to take a trip to Xicheng Mountain. ”
Da Aidao munched on bread as he discussed with William and Kane.
"What are you going to do there?"
William was puzzled by this idea of great love.
"Xicheng Mountain is the location of the ancient Kunlun Xu, and there is a mountain of fire around it, which is said to be the place where Lingbao Tianzun domesticated the fire phoenix. ”
Great Love explained.
"So what? It is said that there is a stone that was transformed by the phoenix in the past, and I am worried that it will be too cold when E'er comes down to find Bai Ruo again, and I want to try my luck in Xicheng Mountain to see if I can find a phoenix feather stone, and then E'er can keep out the cold. ”
Great love is really well-intentioned.
"It's just a legend, I don't know if it's true or not, and even if it's true, can mortals see the objects of the heavenly realm?"
Kane questioned.
"So, I said I was just going to try my luck, hoping that the Tianyan Tong I had just practiced would have a little effect. Just one day. ”
The Great Love Tao insisted.
William was silent for a while and said, "Will the temperature over there cause the ice coffin to melt?"
William agreed with the idea of Great Love, but he was worried about Bai Ruo's physical problems.
"The maximum temperature of Xicheng Mountain tomorrow is minus five degrees, pay attention to the heat dissipation of the next bike, there should be no problem. ”
Kane is an instant messenger who can get online at any time.
The transportation is very convenient, and the bicycle saves a lot of distance.
The volcano isn't big, but it's big enough for looking for a rock.
The hot volcano Zhoushan Chiyan, there is no scenery at all, there are usually no people, and the northern winter is surprisingly cold, of course, there are no people.
The three of them parked their bikes on a small platform on the hillside, and in order to take care of each other, they went to find the stone together.
"This mountain is too big, and if you look for it like this, you won't be able to find it all in one day. ”
Kane looked at the mountain and said, he didn't feel tired, he was just assessing the task.
"It's okay, before I came here, I observed, this side is slightly brighter than other places, it should be a little immortal qi left, we are looking for it here, it should not be difficult to find." ”
Great Love Dao opened the Heavenly Eye, but his Heavenly Eye ability was too low, so he could only give a rough direction judgment.
"Then let's climb to the top of the mountain, take a look, and then determine where to look. William pointed to the top of the hill ahead.
There are no roads, but there are roads everywhere, and there are reddish-brown red cliffs everywhere, and the slope does not exceed forty-five degrees, and you can even walk up without using your hands and feet.
With a cup of tea, the three of them climbed to the top of the mountain.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, it looks like a bowl-shaped crater, the bowl mouth is large, but the concave is not deep, and the edge is relatively steep, making it difficult to climb down.
It stands to reason that there should be a gap in the crater, but the three of them walked around the mouth of the bowl and did not find any gaps.
In no way, Da Ai Dao asked Kane to return to the bicycle and took the rope that was originally used for climbing Mount Everest. One end of the rope was fastened to the stone, and the three of them went down into the notch by the rope.
Descending to a relatively gentle place, the three of them straightened out the three ropes and continued to walk down.
There are some traces along the way like the rain washing, but it is not so straight, and it is a little strange.
Following the traces, almost to the center of the bowl, from a distance, there is a place.
The three of them walked to the place, which was not small, about a dozen square meters in size and about one meter deep.
"Look at how many oval stones there are inside, priest, you can take a look with the eyes of heaven, have we not found the phoenix feather stone, have we found the phoenix egg stone?"
Kane was a little excited, he didn't expect to find what they were looking for so easily.
Da Ai Dao looked at it with the eyes of heaven, and those few oval stones were indeed bright, and for ruthless things, what could shine was undoubtedly the residual aura.
The appearance of such a stone in this place should undoubtedly be something left behind by the legendary fire phoenix.
"That's right, we found what we were looking for. ”
As he spoke, he was about to jump into the mould, intending to take the stone away.
"Wait. William hurriedly stopped.
"Look at so many holes in the wall, you still have to be careful. Kane, you're not flesh and blood, you go down and see what's in those holes. ”
At the moment Kane jumped down, a snake's head poked out of all the holes, dark and brown, and his eyes were red, dense and creepy.
"Snake, Kane, run. Great Love shouted.
"I don't need to be afraid of snakes, take one and come, and you run. ”
Kane shouted and fetched the stone from the center of the mortar, and the red refining quickly gathered from the hole to the middle of the mortar, just the moment Kane picked up the stone.
Each snake split into twelve snakes, and they flew towards Kane and bit him to death.
If this person is bitten to death, he should be scared to death.
It's a pity that Kane is not a human being, it doesn't matter if he wants it or not, the little red refining snake that is densely packed on his body is too lazy to get rid of it, so he climbed onto the trap.
In this matter, Da Aidao and William had already run some distance, looking back as they ran.
"Kane be careful. ”
"I'm out of the way, you guys run to the bike first, it's safe there. ”
Kane was not in a hurry, step by step, and let the Red Refining Snake bite him. Seeing Da Aidao and them crawling along the rope to the mouth of the bowl, he ran while grabbing and shaking, and threw off the red refining snake, how could this red snake have Kane, who was born as a robot, ran fast, chased under the rope, watched Kane climb to the mouth of the bowl, and returned to the hole.
Kane's clothes were bitten and burned, his skin was burned, and his metal bones were exposed in many places.
"It's dangerous. Let's change your clothes first, and then change your skin when Bai Ruo's body is treated. ”
Da Ai said as he fetched Kane's clothes.
"yes, Kane's clothes have burn marks and a lot of burns on his skin, these snakes don't hibernate in winter, they still have burn marks on their bites, what are they? ”
William's scalp tingled a little just thinking about it.
"I guess what we took is right, these snakes are estimated to have become refined with the essence of this phoenix eggstone. If it weren't for Kane, I guess not only would we not have been able to get the stone, but we would have to send our lives here. ”
Da Aidao glanced at Kane gratefully and said.
"Sending your life here?"
William squinted his eyes and pondered, isn't that great?
"Bai Ruo said, as long as I can die, I can return to the godhood, I will go down and try again. ”
After a moment of contemplation, William's eyes lit up, leaving Da Aidao and Kane stunned.
Thinking that what William said also made sense, the two looked at each other and nodded together.
Da Aidao insisted on following, but William was worried about him, so he only let him watch from the mouth of the bowl, and he and Kane went down the rope to the mouth of the bowl.
Now looking at these trench-like traces, I know that these are the traces that the Red Refining Snake has crawled.
The two of them walked in the direction of the mole, not afraid, and one of them even really wanted to be bitten to death.
