Ye Qinghong thought that Luo Lie had given her son some kind of inspiration, hoping to come here to reunite with Luo Lie, although this hope was extremely slim, but she also returned here despite the hardships, and when she arrived here, she found that the wooden house had collapsed, and this place had been abandoned for many years, and Luo Hunt had never been here at all.

Ye Qinghong became silent because of disappointment, and Xiao Ping'an never said anything about his father or even the blue wolf. After a group of people stayed in place for two days, the hope in Ye Qinghong's heart gradually disappeared. She asked her son more than once, hoping to get some useful information from him, but each time he found nothing.

It began to snow again in the early morning, and in the past two days, Zhang Longbow and several people not only set up a shack, but also repaired the collapsed wooden house. Even the sparrows began to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the blind man helped to help.

Only Ye Qinghong was upset, she didn't want to do anything, she didn't even want to communicate with these friends, she had experienced too many disillusionments in the past three years, tormenting her heart again and again.

Xiao Ping'an is the happiest of all, he learned to catch birds with Tiewa, and Tiewa also made him a slingshot, and he had a lot of fun.

Looking at the peace of the snow and the joy, Ye Qinghong reminded herself that it was time to face the reality, and she couldn't let her son follow her to make fearless adventures.

The aroma of muntjac meat wafts through the air, and sparrows are actively preparing for tomorrow night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Ye Qinghong realized that her emotions were likely affecting everyone, she decided to make some changes, and when she walked towards the sparrow, she stepped on a painting on the snow, a triangle framed by a small person.

Xiao Ping'an shouted: "Mommy, you trampled on my painting!"

Ye Qinghong hurriedly retracted her feet.

Xiao Ping'an cried, in Ye Qinghong's impression, her son had never been so fragile, she patiently comforted: "I'm sorry, my mother was careless." ”

Xiao Ping'an uncharacteristically protested loudly: "You compensate me, you compensate!"

Zhang Changgong and the others were all attracted by the movement here.

Ye Qinghong was a little angry because of her son's willfulness, she endured her anger and said, "Ping'an, will my mother draw one with you later?"

"No!

Ye Qinghong was already in a bad mood, but her anger was completely aroused at this time, and she said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant kid? Isn't it just a painting?

Xiao Ping'an burst into tears.

The blind man was the first to run over, he protected Xiao Ping'an and said, "Brother and sister, what are you doing beating the child, what are the children ......?"

Ye Qinghong said angrily: "I educate my son that you don't have to worry about it!"

"Your son is not fake, he is also my nephew! You can't beat him!" The blind man was also angry.

Zhang Changgong and the others were originally watching from a distance, but they saw that the blind man had joined the battle group, and hurriedly came over to persuade them.

When Ye Qinghong saw everyone coming, her heart was sour, and she turned around and walked into the distance.

The sparrow wanted to persuade Ye Qinghong, but the blind man said: "Let her calm and calm, I don't know where the evil fire came from, what are you doing beating the child?" ”

Xiao Ping'an sniffled, and stopped crying under the persuasion of several people, and he glanced at his mother in the distance, as if he was a little worried.

Sparrow said softly: "Little Ping'an, be good! Good children must know how to be tolerant, your mother just stepped on your painting unintentionally, and she didn't mean to destroy it, don't be angry with your mother, how much does your mother love you, how sad is she when you did this just now?"

Xiao Ping'an said: "But I finally finished drawing." ”

Sparrow smiled and touched the top of his head and said, "Is this good, Auntie will paint with you, let's redraw the painting." She looked at the painting on the snow, and to be honest, the child's idea was so strange that she couldn't understand what it was, so she could only ask.

Sparrow said, "What is this triangle?"

Xiao Ping'an said: "It's a volcano!"

Sparrow said: "Volcano, well, it seems, um, how can this person be in the belly of the volcano?" The part she was referring to happened to be the place that was stepped on by Ye Qinghong.

Xiao Ping'an said: "It's Dad!"

The sparrow's heart was sour, the child without a father was really pitiful, and she said softly: "But why did you draw your father in the volcano?"

Xiao Ping'an said: "Because Dad is inside." ”

Ye Qinghong vaguely heard Xiao Ping'an's words in the distance, she turned around and slowly walked back to her son.

The sparrow saw Ye Qinghong coming back and hurriedly glanced at her, in her opinion, the mother and son had better leave some space for each other now, otherwise the child's mood would not change so quickly for a while.

Ye Qinghong said in a trembling voice: "You say...... Daddy in the volcano?"

Xiao Ping'an looked at his mother and forgot to speak for a while.

Sparrow said, "Shall we draw well with our mother?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Is it okay for mom to draw with you?"

Xiao Ping'an nodded: "I haven't finished painting yet." ”

Ye Qinghong handed him a branch, and Xiao Ping'an drew a rectangle on the triangle.

The sparrow saw it in his eyes, and secretly felt sad in his heart, Xiao Ping'an clearly painted a tomb, the triangle was a tomb, and the people were in the tomb, and now a tombstone was added.

Ye Qinghong also had such an idea, but she held back her grief and asked, "What is this painting?"

Xiao Ping'an said: "A stone erupted from the volcano and flew into the sky!"

Ye Qinghong and Sparrow glanced at each other, they all knew that Luo Lie entered the Nine Secret Realms and found the Yushen Monument in it, according to Luo Lie, the Yushen Monument floated above the lava lake, and the volcanic eruption spewed the Yushen Monument out of the crater, and since then the Yushen Monument has no whereabouts. In the volcanic eruption at that time, the hundreds of years of foundation of Lianyunzhai were destroyed, and it was also at that time that Yan Tianxin led the tribe to embark on the journey of moving west. Princess Longyu also recovered from that volcanic eruption, causing a lot of incidents.

Sparrow looked at Ye Qinghong, her eyes were asking Ye Qinghong, Ye Qinghong shook her head, saying that she had never told this child about what happened back then.

Xiao Ping'an redrew the villain representing Luo Lie, and then drew a rotating circle around his body.

Ye Qinghong said: "What is around Dad's body?"

Xiao Ping'an said: "Keep turning, keep turning!"

Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, we are going to Tianmai Mountain to open Tianfeng, now!

Fifteen years can make a lot of changes, the same name as the wolf's tooth village has long disappeared from the pale mountain, the scorching magma that destroyed the Lianyun village has also cooled, the mountain rock that was burned by the fire has also been covered with snow, along the slope all the way up, you can see many fallen trees, these trees have long died, although the eruption of the volcano has passed fifteen years, but the ecology of this area has not been restored, there is a lack of hidden woods that can inhabit, and animals rarely choose to come here.

Several of them had participated in the adventures of the Nine Secret Realms back then, but only Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin were the ones who really went deep into the hinterland to find the Yushen Monument, but despite this, it did not prevent them from finding this mountain.

According to Luo Lie, the Nine Secret Realms had long been destroyed by magma, and everything there should no longer exist.

It was already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they climbed to the top of the Kaitian Peak despite the wind and snow, and found a small green lake in the crater, although the snow was falling, although it was a cold winter moon, the small lake was still not frozen, and the lake was steaming hot.

Approaching the lakeside, he could feel that the temperature had risen a little, and the blind man took off his gloves and put his hand into the water, feeling that the lake was gentle, and he said to everyone: "Hot spring lake!"

Sparrow said: "Because of the volcano, there are many hot springs in this area. ”

Zhang Changgong said: "I don't have the impression that there is such a lake, absolutely not." ”

The blind man said, "You haven't been here for a few years?"

Zhang Changgong thought for a while and said, "It's been nine years." ”

The blind man said: "In nine years, anything can happen." ”

Ye Qinghong said to Xiao Ping'an: "Son, do you remember that Dad was in the volcano?"

Xiao Ping'an nodded.

Ye Qinghong said: "I'll prepare, the temperature of this lake is okay, I want to go down and have a look." ”

Although Zhang Changgong has learned to swim over the years, he only knows how to swim, his water skills are still very poor, and he can't cope with this kind of thing when he dives underwater.

The blind man said: "I said brother and sister, should you believe that Luo Lie is here because of what Xiao Ping'an said casually?"

Ye Qinghong said: "There are some things he has never experienced, but he said it clearly, I believe that my son will not lie to me." ”

Sparrow said: "Luo Lie disappeared near the West Sea back then, how could it appear in this place?" She also thought that Ye Qinghong's idea was really unbelievable and could not withstand any scrutiny.

Ye Qinghong didn't continue to explain, because she couldn't explain clearly, she had always firmly believed that Luo Lie would come back, and this had never changed, Luo Lie's background was different from ordinary people, and too many strange things had happened to him.

Zhang Changgong visually inspected this small lake, the diameter is about a kilometer, although it is not very large, but it must be very deep, which can also be seen from the color change of the lake, the closer to the lake, the lighter the color, mainly turquoise, but when it reaches the center of the lake, it shows a blue like the lake.

This is the crater that erupted back then, and if the bottom was filled with magma, it might not be too deep, but if it went straight to the bottom, it would be unfathomable, and the water pressure alone was unbearable for ordinary people.

The blind man said, "Well, I'll go down with you." He knew the water nature of Zhang Longbow and Tiewa, and the two of them were not as good as him combined.

Sparrow said, "I'll go too." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "I only brought two bodies of water. She said to Sparrow, "Sparrow, you stay up there and help me take care of Ping'an, I can see that he likes you." ”

Sparrow said: "One more person is good to take care of each other, I don't rely on water, my water is very good." ”

After discussing it for a while, it was finally decided that the three of them would go down together. A row of rafts was built using the cedars on the shore, this is to facilitate the search, the lake is very clear, most of the surrounding areas can see the bottom of the water at a glance, and only the part near the center can not see the bottom, and they need to focus on the search is also here.

The sparrow stayed on the raft for the time being like everyone else, Ye Qinghong and the blind man went into the water first, the lake water was warm, which provided convenience for their search, if the lake water here was not warm, I am afraid that they would be frozen as soon as they got out of the water, let alone search underwater.

In the absence of special equipment, they can reach a maximum of 100 meters underwater, but when they dive to about 90 meters, they saw a large stone forest, this underwater stone forest should be formed by the accumulation of lava from the volcanic eruption, piles and clusters, as far as the eye can see, some are as white as jade, some are bright red as blood, and some are as black as charcoal, forming a large magnificent spectacle at the bottom of the lake.

The two of them illuminated the underwater world with lights, and they were both amazed by the beauty in front of them, and they stayed underwater for a while before they had to float to the surface of the lake to breathe.

Zhang Longbow watched nervously from the raft below, and when he saw them appear, he hurriedly reached out and pulled them up.

The blind man took a sip of the wine handed by Tiewa, he had exhausted a lot of physical strength, and gasped: "At a depth of eighty or ninety meters, there is a lava forest below. It's a pity that we didn't last long, and before we had time to start a search, we had to come up and breathe. ”

Ye Qinghong also frowned, according to this progress, I am afraid that they will not be able to complete the search of this area at the bottom of the lake in a month.

Zhang Changgong said: "I can hold my breath for a long time, but I can't dive, or you can put me down with a rope." ”

The blind man said, "Cut, do you think you can put it down? The water is buoyant, and without special training, you will float up as soon as you go down." ”

Zhang Changgong was speechless when he heard it, and said peacefully: "It's not simple, as long as you hold a big stone, you can sink it, if you want to float up, throw the stone away." ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are ashamed, so many adults together can't catch up with a child.

Zhang Changgong said happily: "This kid will definitely be a character when he grows up." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, don't take risks. "She really didn't want to let Zhang Changgong, who was not good at water, put herself in danger.

Zhang Changgong smiled: "How can this be called an adventure? Although I am not good at water, but I hold my breath for a long time, I have tried once, under normal circumstances, I have absolutely no problem staying underwater for two hours." He was telling the truth, for he was the only one in the group.

Sparrow said: "Let's do it, like us, we basically have to come up to ventilate when we basically dive underwater, even if we take turns diving, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "It's just that the rope we brought may not be that long." ”

Zhang Changgong said: "It's not a problem, as long as I can go down, I can float up." ”

Tiewa said: "The rope is not a problem, don't worry about the rope in the mountain, I will rub it, how long and how long." ”

After everyone was ready to stop, Zhang Longbow jumped into the water, of course, he did not seriously jump down with the stone, but carried the stone on his back, and his limbs were full of weapons, the weight added up was much greater than simply holding the stone, and he could take out the weapon at any time to counterattack in case of danger. Just in case, Ye Qinghong and Sparrow accompanied him into the water.

Ping'an's method really worked, Zhang Longbow sank faster than the two of them dived, and they came to the bottom of the lake smoothly, Zhang Changgong made a gesture, and at this time, Ye Qinghong and the sparrow had to leave to ventilate above.

It was easy to sink to the bottom of the lake, but it was very difficult to walk at the bottom of the lake, and it took Zhang Longbow more than ten minutes to get used to traveling at the bottom of the lake, because it was difficult to control his balance, he walked crookedly, but fortunately, the bottom of the lake was full of lava trees, and it was not difficult to find a place to climb.

Zhang Longbow looked through his glasses through the incendiary rod, and saw the magnificent scenery under the water was also shocked by the scenery, nature is really magical, he held his breath, first looked at the surrounding environment, and then walked in one direction, this underwater lava forest will really be in it will find that it is more like a labyrinth, although the scenery is beautiful, but it looks similar, Zhang Longbow will use a sharp knife to leave a mark on the lava tree every time he walks out of a distance.

Despite this, he soon found himself back in circles, tossing and turning under the water for nearly an hour, and found nothing new, let alone a trace of Luo Hunt. He couldn't tell where he was.

Ye Qinghong, Sparrow and the Blind Man took turns diving to ensure the safety of Zhang Longbow underwater. Although Zhang Changgong's water nature is not good, his breath-holding skills are far beyond their comparison.

Zhang Changgong said that he did not have any problems with his physical strength, and he could continue underwater. What really bothered Zhang Longbow was the intricate underwater environment, just when he was dizzy, he suddenly saw a protruding thing embedded in the lava pile in front of him, Zhang Longbow walked over, climbed up along the lava pile, and when he got closer, it was a copper boat, Luo Lie once told him how to get out of the Nine Secret Realms. Among them, it was mentioned that he, Ye Qinghong, and Fang Kewen were floating away from the lava lake through this copper boat.

Zhang Longbow secretly wondered, is this the copper boat that Luo Lie said? It seems that after the volcano erupted, the copper boat was wrapped in lava, and after cooling, it was fixed here.

Zhang Changgong patted the copper boat, and actually found that the copper boat was loose, Zhang Changgong was curious, if it was really a copper boat, it was afraid that it had already melted when it fell into the lava, and it seemed that it should be other metals, and the melting point was extremely high. Zhang Longbow pushed hard, his strength was already strong, and there was a gap between the copper boat and the lava, and under his push, the copper boat broke away from the lava tree and fell straight down.

The tip of the copper boat smashed into the bottom of the lake like a nail, wedged into the rock formation at the bottom of the lake, and half of it was submerged. Originally, Zhang Longbow didn't feel anything, but soon he felt the lava pile vibrate, with the copper boat as the center, the rock layer at the bottom of the lake cracked, and the cracking speed was very fast, visible to the naked eye, and constantly expanding.

Zhang Changgong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, he lifted the weight on his body in the fastest time and floated to the water.

The blind man just dived under the water to see the condition of Zhang Longbow, and saw Zhang Longbow's figure floating rapidly from the bottom of the water, the blind man thought that Zhang Longbow had reached the air level, and surfaced with Zhang Longbow, as soon as Zhang Longbow came out of the water, he said loudly: "Hurry up, get out of here immediately, go to the shore!"

Several people didn't know what was going on, Zhang Changgong and the blind man crawled to the shore wet, Zhang Changgong picked up the homemade wood pulp and rowed to the shore with all his might, and said while paddling: "The bottom of the lake is cracked!"
