The white snake meandered all the way, and Chen Xinshen and the others quietly followed behind, and they followed all the way to a mountain with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. The top of the mountain is in the shape of a prismatic shape. The center is inverted, forming an inverted funnel-shaped sinkhole. Chen Xinyan stood on the side and made a visual observation, the sinkhole was about ten meters deep, seven meters wide, and twenty meters long. It seems that the pit originally contained clear water, but later, for unknown reasons, the water level gradually dropped to the point that it dried up completely.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, there is an ice cave entrance on the stone body, which is only more than one person high and only about four meters wide. It's April on earth, and the weather is getting hotter, but after standing at the entrance of the cave for a minute, you can strongly feel that the climate here is completely different from the outside world, it is a cold that seeps into the bone marrow.

"This place I know. Ye Zhenzhen said loudly, "When I came, I checked the information, and it is said that this is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in Shennongjia. I heard that the scene inside the ice cave varies from time to time: pearls in spring, ice towers on the summer solstice, clear water in autumn, and warm in winter. The ice usually begins to melt in July and August, and some people have done tests to show that the temperature at the mouth of the cave is 21 degrees and the temperature at the foot of the mountain is 30 degrees. In the middle of summer, entering the ice cave is like boarding the Chang'e Toad Palace. Ordinary people who have just entered it in the middle of summer or are sweating will immediately have a chill to the bone. As for the depth of the cave, it is still a mystery to be solved. ”

Seeing that the white snake had gotten in, Chen Xinyan and the others hurriedly followed. The main tunnel of the ice cave is not long, but there are many branches, and the door hole is slightly wider, and the further forward it is, the narrower and narrower it is, and the person who can pass through it is less than a kilometer. There is a dark river in the cave, which basically flows along the main cave road, the amount of water is not large, but the murmuring sound can be heard.

Chen Xinshen looked around, only to see all kinds of ice lamps hanging on his head, hockey balls with rolling melons under his feet, strange-shaped icicles standing on the four walls, and ice streams floating in the depths. Those ice lanterns are all clever and brilliant: those ice hockey balls are all transparent and rolling on the ground, those icicles are all climbing dragons and phoenixes, shining brightly, and those ice streams are all falling from the sky, and the momentum is compelling. In the ice cave, everything seems to be made of silver, and all the landscapes seem to be decorated with jadeite, full of jade trees and flowers, and everywhere is full of beautiful scales. Those silverware, exquisite craftsmanship, incomparable, those jade, pure color, refreshing, those jade trees, jagged and straight, complementing each other, those brocade scales, vivid, galloping.

The white snake stood at the fork for a while, as if discerning the direction, and after a while it chose a branch and got in. Chen Xinyan and the others hurriedly followed, following the white snake around the twists and turns along the way. At first, the divergent path narrowed deeper and deeper, and suddenly began to widen again when it could only accommodate two people passing side by side.

All kinds of ice sculptures began to appear in the trail, including donkey-headed wolves, unicorns, and coffin beasts, most of which were rough. The deeper you go, the more ice sculptures there are, and the more normal the carved creatures are, most of them are animals such as tigers, bears, monkeys and birds in this Shennongjia, and the carving is far more fine than before, it seems that the people who carve them are becoming more and more skilled, and the carving is getting better and better.

At the end of the trail, the vision suddenly opened up, and the sheep intestine trail led to an ice room, in which there were two ice sculptures, a man and a woman, both lifelike. The man is seven feet eight inches long, with a special demeanor, wearing a Confucian shirt, Xiao Xiao is solemn, hearty and clear, warm and moist like jade. The woman is wearing a green cigarette shirt, her shoulders are shaved, her waist is like a plain, the green silk is draped, she is only tied with a hairband, her eyes are shining like a rock and electricity, her appearance is as wet as a spring moon willow, and her face seems to have a touch of girl's unique shyness.

"What a fairy couple. Mu Songbai looked envious, and there seemed to be stars shining in his eyes.

When the white snake arrived, it stopped swimming, but nodded at the two ice sculptures three times as if it were spiritual, and then turned away, not in the slightest interest in the four humans who appeared behind him.

"It was just kowtowing?" Chen Xinshen looked surprised.

"I guess so. I'm curious now whether someone first discovered the existence of this ice cave and carved these ice caves, or whether someone built this ice cave in order to carve these two ice sculptures. The fat ball monk also said with a strange expression.

Ye Zhenzhen pondered: "It should be the latter." The ice carvings along the way, which were rough at first, gradually became more refined, indicating that the carver dug deep into the ice cave while carving the animals and practiced, and finally chiseled a stone chamber where the two predecessors were carved, and used great mana to maintain the climate of the ice cave. Maybe the carver was one of them. ”

"Could this be like Duan Yu hiding secrets in the Infinite Cave?" Chen Xinyan's eyes lit up, and his mind widened.

Inspired by Chen Xinyan, the group scattered to search, but in the end they didn't find any cheats, but found a painting in the ice sculpture man's right hand behind him.

This is a green landscape painting, and there is no inscription on the painting. Different from ordinary landscape paintings, this landscape painting seems to be made of minerals ground into powder and painted, rolling mountains, vast rivers and lakes, people, trees, all fine to exquisite, no failure in a little painting, distant mountains and near water, mountain villages and wild cities, fishing boats, passenger boats, bridges and waterwheels, and even birds flying in the sky, as small as a small point, all with meticulous and meticulous transport. The whole painting is completed in one go, and the beauty of the green mountains and rivers is vividly expressed.

"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains?" Strange, why is there a "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" here, shouldn't the authentic work be in the Palace Museum?" Chen Xinyan recognized the painting at a glance.

"No, this one doesn't have an inscription. Ye Zhenzhen frowned and said, "You can try to input spiritual power into it." ”

With the entry of spiritual power, the endless mountains, deep rocks and valleys, peaks and flat slopes, flowing streams and flying springs, water villages and wild markets, fishing boats and yachts, bridges and waterwheels, thatched tents and pavilions, as well as fishing, sightseeing, traveling, and calling for ferries in this "Picture of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" all flowed.

"It's beautiful. Mu Songbai couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, it's a magic weapon. The malachite, lapis lazuli, turquoise, cinnabar, orpiment, and clams used in this painting are all commonly used by monks, and if this alone is not enough to become a magic weapon, it should be that one of the processes does not use ochre to apply red, but uses the monk's own spiritual blood. Ye Zhenzhen analyzed.

"Then what to do with this thing?" Chen Xinyan was a little unsure.

Mu Songbai knocked Chen Xinyan's head and said angrily: "Of course I put it back, this is not a practical magic weapon." I think this is most likely copied by this senior master for this fairy sister, let's get out of here quickly, don't disturb the two of them.

Leave? Chen Xinyan and the others were a little stunned at the thought of leaving, the white snake had already run away, and the rest of the people were left in the hole under this labyrinth. ”
