Chapter 6: Enter the Secret Realm
Chapter 6: Enter the Secret Realm
But the reason that prompted them to strongly want to cultivate immortals began five years ago.
After finishing the college entrance examination that summer, they decided to go to Tibet to have fun in the spirit of relaxation.
The two newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, so they invited a few high school friends to ride their bikes to Lhasa.
The road was full of laughter and laughter, and after riding a section of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, someone proposed to climb the mountain to Lhasa, and this decision was unanimously approved by everyone.
A group of teenagers and girls with excessive hormone secretion just thought about the snow-capped mountains and set off, the scenery was beautiful along the way, the sky on the snowy plateau was so blue, the air was so fresh, and the most important thing was that there were girls along the way.
What made them happiest was that the honest class leader finally confessed to the goddess in his heart after three years of patience. Of course, there is no better way to express happiness than to beat up the squad leader.
They walked and played along the way, and it was impossible to reach Lhasa before the end of the holiday.
But what does it matter, the most important thing is that everyone is happy together.
If nothing else, it will be the most precious memory of this group of teenagers and girls' lives. As they grow older, they may smile at the madness of their youth.
However, there is no if.
That tragic scene will forever be etched in the minds of the survivors.
No one thought that such a catastrophe would happen.
At that time, they had just climbed a mountain with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and they were excited to take pictures. This is the fifth peak, and they originally planned to go home, so they enjoyed this moment extraordinarily.
When they were shooting happily, the squad leader was busy for the love of his heart, and suddenly a strong wind blew, which was very common in the plateau area, but I didn't expect the wind to come so suddenly, so violently, they were caught off guard and were blown down.
Even the huge body of a fat man can't stop the power of nature. However, with its natural advantage, it is between two huge rocks.
Qin Chen was also blown down, and he didn't even grab a few rocks, at this critical juncture, Sun Xiaochuan blocked Qin Chen with his huge size, Sun Xiaochuan was stuck in a rock crevice, the two of them were saved, but the others fell off the cliff. The squad leader roared angrily, hugged his beloved girl, and used his body to block the hard rock for her.
Qin Chen moved his body and was about to get up to look for the person who fell off the cliff, when Sun Xiaochuan grabbed him and pulled him back. Just when Qin Chen was confused, Sun Xiaochuan put the middle finger of his right hand to his mouth, "Shhh
In this case, Qin Chen still chose to believe Sun Xiaochuan and went back to his original place.
At this moment, Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan saw an incredible scene, a man and a woman flew in the air, due to the dazzling sunlight, Qin Chen didn't see what they looked like, but they looked very weird, and they were stuck under the rock, due to the angle, they were not discovered by the two immortal cultivators. But Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan clearly heard every word of them.
I only heard the woman say: "Oh, I didn't control the amount of strength, blow down a few mortals, senior brother, it's okay." โ
And the man seemed to be very doting on the woman, but said: "Senior sister, it's just a few mortals, even the mortals in the whole world can't withstand the lives of our immortal cultivators, it's not too early, it's important to do the right thing." With that, the two of them flew away.
Although Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan didn't see the two of them clearly because of the angle of the sun, they really saw a dragon and a tiger hovering in the sky.
After the two of them really left, Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief.
They climbed up with great difficulty, and when they went down to find them, they had already bled to death. Among them, the squad leader is still holding his girlfriend tightly, although the two have long been blurred.
Looking at the tragic situation of the few people at the bottom of the cliff, Qin Chen felt as if something was blocked in his heart, and tears flowed unconsciously.
Qin Chen squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and was in pain, but he suddenly remembered something, and Qin Chen was so angry that he punched the ground.
As long as those two people have a little conscience, they can easily save their lives. These few lives are gone.
One moment they were laughing and laughing, and the next they were dead. Why, why is their life a life, but the life of a mortal is not.
Sun Xiaochuan bent down to comfort Qin Chen: "I, Sun Xiaochuan, swear here, that one day, I will give those two immortal cultivators who look down on us mortals a good look and let them fight with their lives." Qin Chen didn't say anything, but from his eyes full of anger, many things could be seen.
After this, they went down the hill to find the police and dispose of the body. After all, there are too many such accidents in Tibet, and the police just routinely made interrogations and records, and neither of them said anything about the immortal cultivators.
It didn't take long for several parents to come to the accident site and bring the body back.
Although the uncles and aunts didn't say anything, they didn't beat or scold them. But Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan hoped that they could scold themselves and beat themselves. Doing nothing like this makes them feel blocked from the bottom of their hearts.
After that, they stopped traveling, returned home, and fell seriously ill.
After they recovered from their illness, they never mentioned it, as if they had completely forgotten about it. But today, the door to their memories has been reopened.
They can't forget the tragic situation when their brothers died, the picture of the pair of lovers hugging each other, the contempt of the two immortal cultivators for mortal life, and the painful scene of uncles and aunts facing the corpse.
Looking at the secret realm not far away, Sun Xiaochuan looked at Qin Chen seriously: "Must cultivate immortals and seek justice." โ
"Well, you must cultivate immortals and seek justice. โ
Judging from the thousand-year-old ginseng, this secret realm is not simple, and there may be a way for the two of them to cultivate immortals.
The two of them spoke firmly, only they could hear it, and no one expected that this oath would finally come true and bring such a huge impact to the immortal cultivation world.
Three days passed quickly, during which the two of them completely became two laborers, tired like dogs, but the benefits were great, Qin Chen and Comrade Sun Xiaochuan officially became members of the first batch of inspection groups.
The first group of expeditions numbered neither more nor less, in addition to the three giants, one hundred and thirty-two soldiers, sixty-six archaeologists, a total of two hundred and one.
On the morning of the third day, although the sun was shining, it was already north of the Qinling Mountains, and now it was November, not only was there no trace of heat, Qin Chen also felt a faint coolness, but for Sun Xiaochuan, who had super thick fat, the blizzard was nothing.
The entire crew was ready to go, and at the mouth of the crack had built a simple staircase-like thing out of stone and wood. A group of soldiers armed with machine guns guarded all sides of the valley, and behind the most important members of the entourage, Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan carried two large boxes of tools on their backs, and the three leader-level figures stood side by side in the front.
At eight o'clock in the morning, one of the soldiers at the front walked up the stairs with a rope around his waist and jumped into the crack. After all, eight means hair, and archaeologists are very superstitious, thinking that this will bring good luck to themselves. About two minutes later, a small bird flew out of the crack. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
For the secret realm, everyone maintained a loving and fearful attitude.
Love is because it is possible to derive immeasurable benefits from it, and fear is because it is ignorant of it. After all, the unknown is what scares the most.
For the first batch of teams, you can't rush forward in one go, otherwise there is a real possibility that the whole army will be wiped out.
That's why there was the scene just now, the first soldier carried a small bird with him, and if he successfully reached the other end of the secret realm, he fired a gun and released the bird.
They had already thought of it if they didn't hear the gunshot, after all, they belonged to two different spaces, and the sound didn't have that powerful ability. But when the bird comes out, it means that it is basically safe.
Legend has it that ancient tomb robbers would worship Cao Cao's tablet before robbing tombs, and it is rumored that Cao Cao was the ancestor of the official thieves. Although the people in the institute don't believe in this, their actions are no different from those of tomb robbers, so there are always some superstitious actions before each departure, such as choosing a time to go to the cemetery, and so on.
At the request of the chief, the second soldier entered the secret realm. Immediately after that, the soldiers entered it one by one. They still don't know what they are going to face.
One by one, the personnel disappeared at the entrance of the secret realm. It was the turn of Qin Chen, Sun Xiaochuan and a few soldiers behind, it seemed that Professor Qin didn't say anything on the surface, but he still cared about this son very much, so he put him at the back.
Qin Chen and Sun Xiaochuan stepped into the crack with one foot, the space inside was not large, and the other end was about a meter in front, looking around, there were chaotic air currents everywhere, and colorful lights were constantly swaying in the surrounding space, as if they could reach their side in the next second. From time to time, you can see air currents changing shapes and shuttling through the void, and their feet can't step on the ground, as if stepping on the void, step by step is very wonderful.
After walking two steps to the exit, learning from the people in front of him, Qin Chen stretched out his hand, grabbed the steel cable, kicked his feet again, and walked down on the stepping point of the person in front of him on the cliff.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cliff, Qin Chen looked up and couldn't see the edge at a glance, it was all blocked by white clouds and mist, and he didn't know how high the road was. Their luck is considered to be a thief, the exit is only a few dozen meters from the ground, otherwise they will fall into a meatloaf. There was a small hole not far from the top of the exit, and a medicinal fragrance diffused out, Qin Chen guessed that the purple jade ginseng was growing here, and it should have been the vibration that attracted it. Of course, all this was pure speculation, so he didn't say much.
Sun Xiaochuan's face turned white in pain when he came down, mainly because his stomach was too big, and he bumped into the hard rocks on the edge of the cliff, so painful that Sun Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and swore through gritted teeth: "Lao Tzu must lose weight after going out this time." Of course, Qin Chen believed that after the time he left, Sun Xiaochuan would 100% forget about it.
Qin Chen looked back, and the other three sides were full of towering trees, the ancient trees were verdant and overgrown with weeds, and there was a desolate atmosphere.
The soldiers who had arrived earlier had already found their positions, all armed with submachine guns, ready for battle.
But surprisingly, the forest here is quiet, and there is no sound of birds and beasts. Perhaps due to the influence of the cliffs, the ancient forest was also filled with a thick fog, and the dense fog was not small, and you could only see things in the range of three or four meters, but it spread too widely. Because when he came out of the exit of the secret realm just now, Qin Chen looked around, and there was a dense fog as far as he could see.
Most of the plants in the forest are unnamed species, but they are temperate angiosperms based on the growth of leaves and fruits. Because of this, there is no rainforest vegetation here, and the air is slightly dry. Still, weeds and jagged leaves cut blood on everyone's bare skin, and beads of sweat formed on their foreheads. After all the personnel had arrived, Chief He ordered all the soldiers to check their weapons and equipment, and then formed a formation. The archaeologists were all inside, and the outside was wrapped by soldiers.
"Count the number of people. Chief He gave an order.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ยทยทยทยทยทยท One hundred and ninety-seven, one hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred. โ
A soldier ran over and saluted Chief He with a standard military salute, "Report to the chief, the number of people counted this time should be two hundred and one people, but it is actually two hundred, and one person is missing, please instruct." โ
"It's impossible to lack one person!" Chief He's brows were about to wrinkle into the sky. "Who's missing?"
The soldier was obviously a little twisted: "Report to the chief, what is missing is Zhou Wei." โ
"Who is Zhou Wei and why is he absent?"
"Report to the chief, Zhou Wei is the first person to enter the secret realm, but no matter how you look for him, you can't find him now. โ
"What?" Chief He was visibly taken aback. "And what's going on with that bird?"
"Report to the chief, I don't know what to say. โ
Chief He knew that it was impossible for him to get any valuable clues from this soldier, so he waved his hand and let him go back.
"Yes, Chief. Private Lee asked to return to the team. โ
"Homecoming. โ
Chief He turned to the two old friends and smiled bitterly: "Two old friends, what do you say to do." โ
Professor Qin and Professor Chen both knew his temper: "When have you heard the decision of the two of us, you can decide for yourself!"
"Okay, proceed according to the original plan, and set off. โ
To be honest, before he came in, Chief He had already thought of all possible scenarios, and the dense fog scene certainly appeared in his mind, but he didn't expect it to be touched by him.
It was one of the last things he wanted to encounter, but now he had no choice but to get the soldiers to cheer up and minimize the danger.
"Anyway, no matter how dangerous it is, it won't be as dangerous as the Kunlun Mountain more than thirty years ago!" Chief He couldn't help but think to himself.
"Let's go. With an order, the team slowly advanced into the depths of the forest, gradually disappearing into the thick fog.
At the top of Shu Mountain, in a secret realm, a sword immortal with a fairy sword stroked his beard, "Recently, I have been restless, as if something important to me is going to happen, I am very quiet, let's just be born and walk around!"
After saying that, he stepped on his feet, and disappeared from the secret realm without a trace.
The immortal cultivator who also belonged to the secret realm seemed to feel something, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the ancestor." โ
At the same moment, the old Taoist priest at the foot of Kunlun Mountain seemed to feel something, "Heaven and earth have changed greatly, and the heirs of my Kunlun lineage are about to be born, where is it? Hmph, evil animal, your good days are coming to an end." โ
As if hearing the words of the old way, an angry beast roar came from the depths of the mountain range.
