I suddenly stopped, and Sister Fo waved to me, pointing diagonally downward for me to look there. I looked in the direction she pointed, and the surrounding clouds and mist were being blown away by the mountain wind, and a line appeared on the ground. Deep ravine, overlooking the deep ravine from a high place, all you can see is an air of mist, which is unpredictable. Just looking at it will make you feel fearful. If the wind and snow on this mountain are more violent, people who don't know the topography of this place will feel afraid. I will definitely continue to move forward, fall into a deep ditch and be shattered to pieces.
"I always feel like there's something there." I said doubtfully, "How about we go over there and have a look?"
Cheng Yiyun nodded slightly and said, "I feel the same way."
So, a few of us walked lightly and slowly down the deep ditch. We walked like this for four or five hundred meters without seeing anything, so we had to prepare to go back home. Unexpectedly, just as we were about to leave, I saw a black lynx scurrying down from the tree. I frowned and then shot the flying knife in my hand. Unexpectedly, the beast was very agile and jumped up on the snow to avoid the flying knife. , fled to the bottom of the deep ditch and disappeared.
"Is this the thing you suspect?"
I was just about to return when suddenly the lynx came out of a low bush again, as if it was provoking us. I was holding my breath and raised the flying knife in my hand to strike. Hit me, but before I could take action, Sister Fo stopped me behind me and said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but wonder, "When I kill this beast, we can improve our food."
"Look there." I saw Sister Fo pointing her hand in the direction where the lynx ran just now. I turned around and suddenly saw a few drops of red spots on the snow.
"What is that?" I asked in surprise.
Because the red spot was at the bottom of the deep ditch, there was a drop of several meters from above. Fortunately, there was snow on the slope, so I could slide down from it. When I got to the spot, I opened my eyes wide and said in surprise: " This is—blood?!"
Sister Fo touched it with her finger and it was frozen. She smelled it carefully and said, "This is human blood."
"Human blood?!" I was even more surprised after hearing this and asked, "Why is there still human blood here? Could it be Ye Heping, who is injured?"
"You saw that lynx just now. It has a ferocious temperament and is not afraid of people. It is possible that it ambush people here. Now that the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it has no other food on the mountain. It is not impossible for it to attack people actively." Buddha. Sister said.
"Judging from the direction of the blood stains, that person should have gone down the mountain. Could it be that Ye Heping has already gone to the Dragon Burial Pit?" Just as we were confused on the spot, footsteps came from behind. It turned out to be Si Weiqi and Xu Qian, when they saw that we were missing from the camp, they came looking for us.
"Lin Kun, what are you doing?" Si Weiqi asked.
"Sister Qi, you came just in time. Look -" I pointed to the blood on the ground and said: "What we just discovered should be that someone was injured. In this place, if there is anyone else besides us, it will be the last one." It is possible that it is Ye Heping. We are still wondering whether he came down from the Dragon Burial Pit or..."
"Even if he gets to the Dragon Burial Pit, he may not be able to enter.
If you can get in, you will definitely not be able to get out." Si Weiqi said, "Well, judging from the blood stains, he should have gone down the mountain. Heping is very important to us now. We must find him, but the Dragon Burial Pit It's a clue left by Ou Zhi. We have to go, so we can only divide our forces into two groups."
"The road down the mountain is also very dangerous. Xiaoqian will take Sister Fo and Yiyun down. Be sure to ensure the safety of Ye Heping." Si Weiqi ordered.
"Don't worry." Xu Qian accepted the order, and then took Sister Fo and Cheng Yiyun back with their equipment and followed the bloodstains to search for traces of Ye Heping.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the wind and snow had stopped. The team of six people divided into two groups. Si Weiqi, Chen Ziyue and I will continue to climb to the summit after dawn, while Xu Qian, Sister Fo and Cheng Yiyun will go together.
Heading down the mountain, no one knows the blessings or misfortunes of this journey.
After dawn, we packed our bags immediately. I handed the kettle to Chen Ziyue and asked her to drink a few sips of hot water to drive away the cold mountain wind. Chen Ziyue took two sips, grinned at me, and said nothing.
Know exactly what she means.
I looked up at the mountain. The steep mountain wall was like a barrier. If I wanted to climb up, I would feel scared just looking at it. Soon, everything was ready. Si Weiqi was in front and I was behind. The three of us started to climb up the mountain slowly.
Climbing. At this time, the mountain wind picked up again, and the thicker clouds above my head slowly moved away, and a majestic solitary peak emerged from the clouds. With the snow that had fallen all day, it looked like a silver snow peak.
"Sister Qi, I think it's going to snow again today." I said as I walked.
"Yes, once it snows again, we will definitely be in more danger." Si Weiqi was obviously worried.
Chen Ziyue has never dared to look down. Although she is not threatened by avalanches on the steep slope of nearly 60 degrees below her feet, if there are loose rocks on the mountain, even if a small piece falls, even if she holds an iron pot on her head, she will be hit.
Smashed through. The most terrifying thing is to slip and fall. Even if something as terrible as falling into a cliff may not happen, it has to be said that walking is very dangerous.
About a quarter of the way through the night, the evergreen trees began to thin out, and many dead trees began to appear. Although these trees were withered, they were not dead, just because the soil on the surface was thin and difficult to grow.
In the winter, the leaves can only be allowed to wither, hoping that the branches and leaves will grow again next spring.
The next road is no longer suitable for vertical climbing. They must take a zigzag route, winding up layer by layer like a winding mountain road, often more than ten meters high. They need to walk from the east side to the west side, and then from the west side.
We reached the east side diagonally. When we stood on the mountain walls on the east and west sides and looked down, we saw two bottomless ravines below. The reason why this place is called a ravine rather than a valley is because the terrain is too
It is narrow, with cliffs cut like knives and axes on both sides, just like the pen mountain where the brushes are placed.
"Lin Kun, I can't walk anymore, let's take a rest." Chen Ziyue gasped and said.
"It's okay." I said worriedly.
Si Weiqi looked back at us and said, "This is not a place to rest. Let's rest under the tree in front."
After walking about half of the distance, the sky was already dark, and a heavy snowfall was about to fall. For safety reasons, get up
Seeing this, I had to find a place where a few dead trees were concentrated and stop. I ate a few bites in a hurry and asked Chen Ziyue if it was okay. Fortunately, Chen Ziyue was in good physical condition. She just walked too fast and her physical strength was a bit too much.
I originally wanted to discuss with Si Weiqi that Chen Ziyue was pregnant and not ask her to follow us up, but then I gave up the idea. Moreover, since we arrived at this mountainous area, we have had a strange feeling, as if there is something wrong with us.
Seeing unusual signs, he asked Si Weiqi: "Sister Qi, do you think there is anything weird here?"
Si Weiqi nodded and said: "This is close to the top of the mountain. As far as I know, there is a beast-killing platform on the top of the Dragon Burial Pit, which is a place used by ancestors for sacrifice. The ancient way of sacrifice is very strange, so they will
After the livestock is killed, the bodies are thrown into the wilderness and thrown below, so from here up, you will see animal bones everywhere."
I looked around, but I didn't see the bones mentioned. I couldn't help but wonder, "Sister Qi, why is this place so weird?"
"Besides the Holy Land of Yuling, there are a group of demons waiting for them. The land in front of it has become the land of demons. After the ancestors offered sacrifices, they threw their livestock down the mountain to pay tribute to the demons. However, this is just a legend. There is actually a 'five' in it.
In the Ghost Killing Immortal Formation, those who cannot follow the rules will never return if they enter." Si Weiqi explained.
Not long after, the wind on the mountain suddenly became fierce, and the sky was also covered. A dead tree leaning on the side of the mountain folded down. The wind became stronger and stronger, and suddenly, large pieces of snow fell.
Suddenly, the dark sky merged with the sea of ​​snow, and everything was invisible.
The snowstorm became more and more violent, and the biting air poured into the windbreaker more frequently. On the mountain wall, the wind stubbornly blew everything in one direction. Everything around was white and gray.
I grabbed Chen Ziyue's hand, and Si Weiqi in front also stretched out her hand and said, "Hold on."
The wind seemed to start to change direction. One moment it was blowing head-on, blinding the eyes with snowflakes, and the next moment it was blowing whistling through some holes from behind. About half of the way up, at this time, the ground
The large number of beast bones caught our attention. The remains of ox horns and sheep horns seemed to date back to recent times, and some of them had weathered into soil.
The heavy snow swallowed the earth mercilessly, the biting cold wind hurt their faces, and the frost instantly froze the ground. Everything seemed to become difficult, the heavy snow seemed to be a white demon, forcing them towards the white snow with raging snowflakes
High mountains, unable to find a way out.
"Sister Qi, what do you think this is?!" I suddenly saw a totem-like thing appearing on the stone wall on one side in the wind and snow.
I saw a very vague totem on the stone wall, which looked like a dragon but not a dragon, and was almost weathered. Si Weiqi knew what it was at a glance and said: "This is the earliest source of our Dragon Bone Hall logo, your badge
The regiment above is based on this, and it is also the totem of our Yuling ancestors."
Near the mountain wall, the ground is covered with withered bones that have been submerged in the soil. These bones have long since decayed. You can imagine that a long time ago, on a summer night, among the piles of bones, there was a terrifying scene of will-o'-the-wisps everywhere. Some dead trees and broken vines were mixed in.
