Chapter 147: Empty

The cloth bag is not big, but there are a lot of loose things inside. There is a cheese jerky in an iron box, I haven't eaten it for too long, and there is already a layer of white hair on it, so Hong Chen has to throw it away; there are also some silver used in Xiliang Kingdom, about thirty taels, in fact, it is not a small amount of money, enough to buy a lot of food and drink, but Hong Chen can no longer use it; finally it is a wrapped skin, after opening it, I saw that inside is a round white jade pendant with a copper plate, strung with a black rope in the middle, and three words are written on the leather - "Jingxin Jade".

The jade pendant is cold to the touch and has a good texture, Hong Chen handed it to Lei Feifeng as soon as he changed his hand: "You are always in a hurry to get angry and scold every day, this thing is the most suitable for you to wear." Lei Feifeng resolutely refused: "If I'm unhappy, I have to scold, and I am forced not to scold, I am uncomfortable." If I don't wear it, I won't wear it when I die. ”

Hong Chen hung up the jade pendant and stuffed it into the inner lining, and suddenly felt a little cold in his chest. I don't know if the jade pendant does have a calming effect, or if there are subtle changes in his own psychology after wearing it, Hong Chen is really calmer, he was about to climb Kunlun Mountain, and he was still worried in his heart, always thinking about what to do when he encountered difficulties and troubles when entering the mountain, after all, he had encountered too many walls in front of various rivers and lakes in the past, and he also had deep doubts about the Kunlun Sect in Beihai. Now I don't think about it anymore, I just said secretly: "No matter how worried I am, when I go to the Kunlun Sect in Beihai, should people accept me or accept me, should they expel me or expel me, what do you want to do with these things?"

After packing his luggage, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng walked towards Kunlun Mountain together. At first, the road was easy to walk, and you could go all the way up the steps paved by the people on the mountain. But when he got to the back section, the steps were covered with snow that had condensed into ice, and the boots slipped when he stepped on them, but fortunately, Hong Chen brought an ice axe rope and spike boots in advance, although the journey was slower, fortunately, there was no danger of falling.

Beihai Kunlun Sect, it is rumored to be located on the top of Kunlun Mountain, this stone step mountain road should be paved by one of the people, but it is not very well built, the road is steep and rugged, and in winter, the stone steps are ice in addition to snow, it is even more difficult. It took Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng a whole day to reach the mountainside, and there was still a lot of distance from the top of the mountain.

It was difficult to continue walking in the mountains at night, so Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng found a peaceful place and rested on the spot. After eating jerky, he stuffed a few handfuls of snow into his mouth to quench his thirst, then wrapped his whole body in wolf skin, listened to the cold wind, and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the sun rose, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng hurried and continued to hurry. When it was almost noon, Lei Feifeng suddenly pointed to a peak in the north and said, "Teacher, does it look like there is a group of houses there?" Hong Chen looked in the direction Lei Feifeng pointed, and sure enough, he saw that on the snow-capped peak, there were patches of black, not like mountain rocks, but buildings, and he suddenly felt joy, and said: "Work hard, hurry up, and strive to get there before sunset!"

The two of them rested for a while, ate and drank enough, and began to walk in the direction where they found the building. In the evening, the setting sun stains the clouds and snow in the mountains with a layer of orange. Hong Chen, who had just climbed to the top of the northern peak, looked at the scene below, and sighed in his heart: "Alas, this is what 'thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow' look like, but unfortunately only I saw it." ”

Lei Feifeng pointed to a pair of closed black doors in front of him, and said excitedly: "Teacher, we have finally arrived, haha, the Kunlun Sect of Beihai has finally been found by us." Hong Chen was slightly puzzled - the gate was closed, the tiles on the courtyard wall and the ground outside the gate were covered with snow, and there were not even a single footprints, was there really anyone here?

Before the two of them walked to the gate in the snow, Lei Feifeng went up and knocked on the door, shouting: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Where are the people from the Beihai Kunlun Sect? Is this the Beihai Kunlun Sect?" shouted many times for a while, many sentences, but no one responded.

Hong Chen also stepped forward and said to Lei Feifeng: "Don't shout." If there were anyone, they should have opened the door earlier. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door, only to feel that the pair of black iron doors were extremely heavy and difficult to push, so he landed on a door with both hands, and the internal force was lifted, and the Hercules palm was exerted, and the pair of iron doors were pushed open with a "buzz".

A large piece of snow fell from the eaves, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng looked behind the door, and saw that there was a continuous house in the yard, all of which were one-story bungalows, but the doors and windows of each house were closed, the snow pressed the eaves, and the snow in the yard was like a white blanket, not dyed black at all, and there was no sign of anyone living in it.

"This ......"

Lei Feifeng opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

"Alas. Hong Chen sighed and said, "It seems that the people of the Kunlun Sect in the North Sea have left here. ”

Lei Feifeng knew how much the teacher was looking forward to the Beihai Kunlun Sect, so he tugged on Hong Chen's sleeve and said, "Teacher, don't be discouraged, this Beihai Kunlun Sect is such a big place, and it is not a powerful sect at a glance." The reputation of the 'World Sword Sect' is all based on blowing, and it is estimated that I received the news that you are coming in advance, teacher, and I am afraid that the matter will be revealed, so I ran away in advance. ”

"Let's go in and have a look. ”

Although Hong Chen was disappointed, since he had arrived, he had to investigate the situation here. Is this the Beihai Kunlun Sect or not, and if so, why is there no one? Where did the people from the Beihai Kunlun Sect go?

When the master and apprentice walked into the courtyard, the first thing they saw was a vertical stone tablet covered by snow, Hong Chen stretched out his hand to brush away the snow on it, and saw two words engraved on the gray stone tablet with a red background - "Qi Zong".

Lei Feifeng said: "Male, isn't the Beihai Kunlun Sect the Sword Sect in the world? What kind of thing is this Qi Sect? I'll just say that it must be swaggering." ”

Hong Chen went to investigate the situation of those houses again, first walked to the outside of a bungalow, pushed the door, walked in, and saw that the house was simply furnished, with wooden beds, futons, and some pictures hanging on the wall, all of which were human figures posing with various movements, and red dots were also dotted with red pigment on the human figures, which should be at standard acupuncture points. When these pictures are connected together, this is the method of practice.

But Hong Chen couldn't understand these things, so he left this room and pushed the door into another room. But I saw that the furnishings of the two rooms were basically the same, and there were only wooden beds, futons, and pictures of exercises. If you go to other rooms, it's basically the same. The bedding on the beds in these rooms was folded and neat, not even dusty, as if the people who lived here had just left.

However, there is little ash on the snow-capped mountains, and Hong Chen estimates that these houses have been empty for at least a year or two. Walking further into the back rooms, I finally found a building that was different from the othersβ€”it was a taller two-story pavilion, and I didn't know what was inside.
