Chapter 118: The Beginning of Prison Blossoms
The Plateau of Silence is an ice field that lies in the north of the Zhujuan country, with a radius of thousands of miles, no beasts and no birds, and the ice and snow do not melt all year round, just like the frozen Daze.
There is often snow and wind on the plateau, walking in it, the heaven and the earth are difficult to distinguish, even if they are not frozen to death and starved to death, for a long time, they are often easy to go crazy in the boundless loneliness, and very few people dare to cross the ice field. Because of this, the Plateau of Annihilation has become a natural dividing line between the Zhao State and the Zhujuan Kingdom.
Zhou Mi pointed out that this road is actually not good. If Wu Gen and Wu Liao died in it, they would no longer have to worry about the water being exposed from the moon.
"Do you really want to go this way?" Wu Lone's face was solemn, "It's better to follow me to the south, hibernate for a while, and then return to Zhao Country after the limelight has passed."
Wu Yan shook his head, "You take me with you, neither of you can get out, it's better to separate the target." Zhou Mi was right, only this road was safer. Rest assured, the Plateau of Silence has not yet been put in my eyes."
"Okay, I'll make some noise in the south to get attention so you can get on your way." Wu Lonely is not a person who has a long relationship with children, and when he heard what Wu Jian said, he did not persuade him.
"Say something frustrating." Wu Yan cursed, turned his head to look at a black cloud rising on the horizon in the distance, it was the Plateau of Annihilation, "You go and pass on your own scriptures, sooner or later, the name of the three ghosts will become an honorific title."
The two of them turned around and left, without dragging their feet for a moment. In the lonely field, two dots walk in opposite directions. After walking more than 100 steps, Wu Gan turned around and just saw Wu Lao turning his head.
"Next time you drink, eat the pot."
"Okay, red oil pot."
Wu Lone's voice came from afar, and with a smile, Wu Yan walked straight towards the black cloud in the sky.
After more than ten days, the weather became colder and colder, and Wu Gan was wrapped in thick felt, which was purchased from the herdsmen on the plateau. Behind him was a big cart, full of camellia bricks, and yards of neat jerky.
When he was buying meat with the herdsmen that day, the other party was surprised, and when it was close to winter, he went to the plateau of silence, was this person crazy? It is the place where the devil lives, *** extinct, and no one dares to pass in the summer, let alone in the harsh winter.
It is rumored that people who enter it will not be able to distinguish between the east and the west, and will eventually become lost in it and become the devil's ration. The shepherd kindly persuaded him for a long time, but the good-looking young man only smiled silently.
Alas, it is a pity that a young life is lost, and how good it would be if he stayed to be a husband to his daughter, and there are still hundreds of cows in the house. Seeing Wu Gan pulling the car and walking towards the plateau alone, the herdsman couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how much he couldn't think about it.
After a few days, a few people who looked bad came to the herdsman's tent and cursed and asked if anyone could go to the Plateau of Annihilation in the near future.
The shepherd wondered why so many people were rushing there to die these days, could it be that the devil's demagoguery spread to the world. Seeing the fierce and vicious appearance of these people, he didn't like it in his heart, so he enthusiastically pointed to another road away from Wu Gan's direction.
The men did not thank them, but hurried away, and took with them a few of the shepherd's cattle and horses as they left. Looking at the few people who had gone away, the shepherd dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, only hoping that the devil could detain the souls of these people earlier, and he could not say that his favorite son-in-law would come back after walking for a few days to see that the road ahead was difficult, so that the daughter of unrequited love every day would show her face again.
On the snowfield, Wu Yan raised his head, blew a breath of hot air into his frozen red hands, and looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in front of him in a daze. According to the map, this mountain is called the beginning of the prison, the height does not know the geometry, and the top of the mountain is hidden in the clouds and mist all the year round. After this mountain, it is the legendary plateau of silence.
The wheels of the cart were removed, the sleds that had been prepared were taken out, placed under the boards, and the food on the cart was fastened again. After doing all this, Wu Yan found a leeward place, took out the only remaining cow dung and stove, and quietly cooked a hot pot for himself.
The water from the melting snow tumbles and foams, and the jerky in the pot becomes soft, like a mischievous fish bouncing up and down in the soup. Wu Yan picked up a chopstick and tasted it, suddenly stunned, and muttered, "It's still delicious in the red oil pot."
Raising the green gourd, he saluted into the distance, and took a long sip of wine.
At night, the canopy of heaven falls,
The crystal-like stars are crystal clear, and there are no half-minute blemishes. The vast and vast sea of stars poured out ten thousand points of silver light, dense as slurry, swaying on the bleak snowfield.
Listening to the constant wind whistle, Wu Gan's heart calmed down, in this moment of silence of all things, there was no longer any calculation or fighting, there was just ethereal pleasure.
A meteor crossed an arc in the dark night sky, like a brocade line thrown by a woman, fleeting.
I am in the mountains, where are you, are you also lingering under the stars in this sky?
At night, Wu Gen fell asleep with a satisfied smile, and the stars fell asleep, and two figures were grinding in the starlight. The arm in his hand moved, and he woke up, looking at Wu Gen in surprise, and a white shadow jumped out and sank into Wu Gen's body.
The next day, Wu Jian woke up early, full of energy, and began to climb the Prison Mountain.
Sure enough, as its name suggests, the Prison Mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there are often avalanches, and there are countless dark caves and ice caves hidden under the snow, and it is easy to fall into the endless abyss when walking in them.
There was no road on the mountain, and the wind blew, and the snow particles were like stones, and they couldn't open their eyes. As soon as I stepped up, half of my body was stuck in the snow, and every step was quite difficult.
Along the way, Wu Yan didn't know how many times he fell, and finally climbed halfway up the mountain on the third day. There is a relatively spacious platform here, but you can stop and rest for a while.
A snow cave was dug up, and Wu Gan hid in it to withstand the ubiquitous cold wind. At night, Wu Gen suddenly woke up from his dream. The probe looked out of the snow cave, and after a glance, it froze.
Outside the snow cave, there was a miserable green all around, and rows of people dressed in simple clothes walked silently through the snow. On the snow wall of the platform, there is a bronze gate faintly. The men walked up to the gate and rushed in, and when the last person entered, the gate slowly closed.
After a while, the surroundings returned to normal, and Wu Yan walked to the snow wall, rubbing around by the starlight, but there was no bronze gate. I poked it with a knife, and it was all ice. Unwillingly, he took out the broken knife and dug it hard.
It wasn't until dawn that Wu Gan finally dug out an ice cave five or six zhang long. The knife went down, touching a hard object, making a piercing sound. Spirited, Wu Gen dug up vigorously. Finally, a broken bronze door appeared in front of me, and one door had collapsed.
After waiting for a long time, the sky was already bright, and Wu Gen looked inside. Inside is a huge stone cave with walls covered in transparent ice. Walking into it, all kinds of strange ice cubes fill the cave, like stalactite dragons, refracting the bright light of the fire fold, which looks hazy and ethereal.
Wu Yan walked cautiously, looking at the movements around him. Those strange figures that appeared last night always felt a little unusual, what secrets were hidden in this prison mountain.
After walking only twenty steps, Wu Gen seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and he was frightened. Turning his head to look, a figure appeared in the ice wall of the cave, five or six feet above the ground.
Wu Gan's face was solemn, and he looked up carefully. The man imprisoned in the ice was motionless, presumably dead.
The ice corpse was dressed in a white robe, and its body was in an unnatural position. The head was pressed against the chest, as if the neck had been broken and attached to the chest.
White filaments protrude from its skull, and there are protrusions on the filaments, like the mycelium growing from the roots of Juncao in the mountains. With the head as the center, the hyphae expand in all directions, reaching five or six feet long at the farthest.
After a moment of silence, Wu Yan continued to move forward. There was silence all around, only the rustle of footsteps sounded, and everything was not so real.
The further I went, there were more and more ice corpses on the roof of the cave and on the cave wall, and there were all the left and right in the whole space, just like the murals in the temple, quietly looking at Wu Gan who was coming, depressed and weird.
At the bottom of the ice cave, sparse white vines began to appear, and each vine had a white flower with three petals, no leaves and a stem. When touched with a knife, it is as hard as a stone. Walking on the flower road, it is like a paper flower sprinkled all the way when carrying the coffin, winding forward.
The sound of beating sounded, and Wu Gan tried to dig out a white flower with a knife. This kind of strange thing, if you take it out, you can't sell it for a lot of money, and you will be obsessed with money for a while
, there are some people who can't hold back their restless hearts.
Suddenly, a candle-sized ball of light floated out of the flower, fluttering in the air, like dandelion seeds rising in the wind, quietly wandering slowly in the air. Soon, similar clusters of light appeared in all the flowers, some large and some small, like silver butterflies flying all over the sky.
A ball of light flew to Wu Gan's side and suddenly disappeared. Wu Gan's eyes were confused for a while, and an infinite white space appeared in front of him, all around him were pure white, boundless, above and below, and he couldn't see anything.
Looking down, although he knew his existence, he couldn't see his body, as if he had completely melted into this white.
There was a soft murmur in the distance, Wu Yan subconsciously walked forward, and a huge silkworm cocoon suddenly appeared in front of him, and countless huge velvet silks shook gently around his body.
As soon as he saw this object, Wu Gan felt close, and although he had no hands, he still felt that his hands were stretching forward. The velvet silk danced faster, as if welcoming Wu Gan's arrival.
Suddenly, there was a click in the sky, and the huge figures of Twilight and the Slender Waist Slave appeared in the air, forcibly breaking through the space. The wings of the slender waist slave flapped, and a gust of wind blew in the white world.
When the wind rises, there is dust. Imperceptible dust particles floated in the air, destroying the original plain white, and adding some other colors to the space.
Wu Gan's figure was revealed, and it was already within reach of those velvet threads. A gust of wind blew, and Wu Gan's figure disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he was still next to the white flowers, and he woke up at dusk, squatting on top of Wu Gan's head, staring at these light clusters.
Taking out the soul crystal that he had been hiding with him, Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief, although he didn't know what these light clusters were, but the slender waist slave saved himself again.
A white light leaps out of Twilight's body. The light and shadow flapped their wings and flew towards the ubiquitous light clusters in the air like swallows foraging for food.
Seeing this, the light group fled in all directions. Twilight's figure swept through the air quickly, flying up and down, and each time she caught one, she threw it into the soul crystal, and it didn't take much effort for all the light clusters to disappear.
"Thank you." Wu Yan gently patted Twilight, who was staying above his head. For some reason, this guy likes to climb on his head as soon as he wakes up.
"Thank you, I just wanted to keep my rations." Twilight didn't appreciate it at all, and Tsundere replied.
"What are these...... Before Wu could finish asking, Twilight fell into a deep sleep and turned into a thin skin.
With a sigh, the danger is gone, so you might as well go further.
After walking for a mile, I was already inside the mountain, and it should be getting darker and darker as I walked, but a soft white light was emitted from the stone walls around me, showing that the surroundings were not very dark, and the further I went, the brighter the front.
After walking through a turning point, a huge cave suddenly appeared in front of me.
