Chapter 037 The Ancient City of Fog Locks
Ever since we came out of the top of the Burial Dragon Pit and met up with Xu Qian and the others halfway down the road, the whole journey has been full of dangers. They say "it's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down". It seems that the old saying is true. At the moment we
Although they landed safely and had an unexpected encounter, relying on the dragon energy gushing out of this "line of sky" to survive, they were happy but also worried about the safety of Xu Qian and the others.
"Sister Qi, Ziyue, are you okay?" I helped Si Weiqi up and checked her injuries.
Si Weiqi waved her hand and said, "It's okay."
"I wonder how Xiaoqian and the others are doing?" Si Weiqi had the same worries as me.
"Our journey along the way has been full of ups and downs. Their situation will definitely not be any better than ours. Now I just ask my ancestors for their blessings and that everyone is safe."
Si Weiqi took out a blood-red round jade from her clothes with one hand. The edge was dotted with gold. The middle part of the jade looked like two small snakes biting each other's tails. She handed it to me and said: "
Do you know why I said that the dragons will bring us out? It is because of this that the dragons are engraved on this piece of blood jade, and they are the guardians here."
"It's not Sister Qi. If you knew it earlier, why didn't you tell me? It made me worried all the way." After I put the jade away, I bowed to Jiao Chu's body on the ground. Maybe it was because of Si Weiqi's body.
These words affected me, maybe it was because I was moved by Jiao Chu saving our lives. Anyway, I felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and I had all kinds of feelings.
"But there is one thing I don't know. Since this dragon is the patron saint, why did it attack us in the first place? And why was it killed by the dragon in the cloud? If this patron saint dies, what will happen here in the future?
Isn't it..." Chen Ziyue asked doubtfully.
"Although Jiao Chu is a spiritual snake, it is just a snake after all. It guards in this deep mountain and has been the top predator in this mountain for thousands of years. It has no problem attacking us, and the reason why it is here
Let us go at the critical moment. I think it must be attracted by the fruits on the Crimson Blood Vine. The dragon is the overlord here. No creature can compete with it, so as long as it doesn't eat us, we will follow it.
You will definitely be able to get out of the Crimson Blood Vine's cage. As for the death of the patron saint that you are worried about, don't worry, the dragon has been multiplying here for thousands of years and will not become extinct just because of the death of one dragon.
"
Hearing this, I sighed: "It turns out that our ancestors have been familiar with the principle that all things are interdependent for thousands of years, and they have designed such an exquisite arrangement based on this."
"By the way, Sister Qi, you just said that this dragon energy comes from the dragon veins. Could it be that what we stand under our feet is a dragon vein?" Lin Kun opened his eyes wide, as if he thought there was something fishy about this matter.
"This is the Dragon Burial Pit. It is a rare place where turtles sleep. It is full of dragon energy. However, this line of sky is very hidden. The place where the dragon energy overflows happens to be a blessing in disguise. After thinking about it, I'm afraid it's...
The ancestors have planned this situation long ago. The growth trend of the crimson blood vine and the movement route of the dragon are unpredictable. However, the gate of life was left here. If it were not the fate of heaven and earth, it is really difficult to explain."
"Sister Qi, I think this place is still not a place to stay for a long time. To be on the safe side, let's get out quickly. Even if we have already gone down the mountain, there is still a long way to go from the bottom of the mountain!"
Si Weiqi nodded and said: "After the dragon's energy surges violently, there must be some changes in the ground.
Changes, this place is likely to collapse, let’s get out quickly!”
Unexpectedly, just a few minutes after walking, the mountain started to shake, and the shaking frequency became faster and faster, and the collapse speed was much faster than I imagined. I couldn't help but curse in my mind, "Fuck, this is too fucking big."
That’s it!”
We rushed out with our heads in our arms, and the rocks above fell down. Even if we didn't smash our heads and cause bleeding, it would be a big disaster if this narrow passage was blocked by rocks. I didn't dare to neglect it, the three of them spent a lot of effort.
We finally escaped from it. When we came out of the rock gap, a long-lost sunlight shone down, which was dazzling and refreshing.
At this moment, at the foot of the mountain not far away, several figures came into view. My eyes lit up and I said with a smile: "Sister Qi, look quickly, it seems to be Sister Qian and the others."
"Great, they're fine!" Chen Ziyue turned around and saw that they were blocked by the rushing stream and were about to cross the river the way they used to.
The two groups of people finally met again, and it was like a journey through mountains and rivers, and there was no way out.
However, as the river became more and more turbulent, the manpower brought by Ye Chongqing had already destroyed the bamboo raft we left behind on the way here. "It seems there is no other way!" Lin Kun took a deep breath,
Said: "If it really doesn't work, I have no choice but to go into the water!"
"No, it's okay for us to go into the water, but how can Mr. Ye do it?" Xu Qian objected.
"But we have to do it even if it doesn't work. We don't have time!" Just after I finished speaking, I heard a rumbling sound from the mountain behind me. The mountain cracked and cracked. A visible crack hung horizontally on the mountainside, and then it began to tilt.
Landslides, a large number of mountain walls collapsing, the huge destructive force, even if you are standing in a relatively safe position, you can still feel the terrifying pressure.
Everyone looked at the broken mountain peak with lingering fear, "There's nothing to think about, let's get in the water!" After saying that, I took a deep breath and dived into the water.
The icy cold hit my head instantly. After about a minute and a half, I couldn't hold it in anymore. My hands and feet were weak and I paddled ahead. I endured the biting discomfort of the ice water and swam forward with all my strength. In addition, Chen Ziyue behind me was exhausted at this time.
, I was about to hold her, but the sole of my foot slipped, and both of us were washed down by the current.
"Zi Yue!" The panic made me at a loss. Gradually, my consciousness began to become blurred. River water poured in from my nostrils and mouth. My mind went blank. My body became still and light in the water, as if my soul was about to leave the body.
"Lin Kun, Lin Kun, are you okay?"
There was a call in my ears. After hearing it, I jumped up immediately and looked at the person with the open mouth, who was Chen Ziyue. I looked at the green and lush trees and a clear river around me, and looked at the embarrassed but embarrassed person.
There were several people there who were full of surprises. He jumped up excitedly and ran over to hug them.
"Great, you're fine!"
"Don't worry, you are lucky and you won't die!" I gasped and said, "Fortunately, the river is not very deep, otherwise I really don't know if I can survive."
"You, thanks to us, otherwise you would have gone to see King Yama a long time ago!" Xu Qian laughed.
After I cleaned up my appearance, Sister Fo went into the forest and caught some wild game. Then she lit a bonfire and roasted it to eat. The smell of the meat was so greedy that I felt like I had never eaten it in several lifetimes.
Just like the others, he chewed all the bones cleanly before extinguishing the fire.
Finally, we set foot on the return route. Finally, we looked back at the collapsed mountain. No one will ever know the weird and outrageous secrets at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Pit. When we came, we were full of hope, and when we went back, we were silent.
Xiang, I have learned a lot this time.
After identifying the direction and walking for a long time, I finally saw the Zhongxie Ancient Village where I came from. Chen Ziyue screamed with excitement and ran over quickly. I was afraid that she would make a mistake, so I chased after her.
...
Return to the ancient city of Shaoxing.
Thick gray fog filled the earth, as if it was hiding the mystery of the changes in nature. The sky seemed to be wrapped in a thick veil, and objects five meters away were hazy, looking vaguely visible or far away. Due to the fog
It's so big that the car has to crawl like a snail on the road.
Si Weiqi stood on the tower of the ancient city wall. From here, she could overlook the ancient city. In the distance were the streets and skyscrapers that were much higher than the towers. As long as the traffic passing by here, it felt like they were driving into the historical center.
Turning the corner, it slowed down and shuttled inside and outside the city gate.
The heavy fog in the early morning locked the ancient city. The inside and outside felt close at hand, but it always made people feel that they were out of reach. People walked in the fog, and the distance was so hazy that they could not see the direction. The sky
, gray and gloomy, seeming to be more intimate with the ground.
At a glance, one can see thick fog, falling from the mountain tops like snowdrifts, and rolling down from the recesses between the two peaks like waterfalls. Although the whole view of the ancient city is visible, it is like seeing flowers in the fog, all of which are illusory.
The fog is like a pure veil hanging on the river, and the sailing ships are hung with red lights, which appear and disappear, like the eyes of an insomniac who reluctantly opens his eyes.
"Sister Qi, Senior Su and the others are all ready. The blockade we arranged earlier can ensure that not a single bird can fly out from here." I walked up to the tower and stood next to Si Weiqi, the two of them facing the wind.
Standing there, facing the ancient city surrounded by fog, and the undercurrent surging under the peace, I felt a sense of grandeur and pride that traveled through time and space.
The sky was filled with heavy fog, blocking out the sun. It was difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south, and in all directions. Suddenly, it felt as if there were only two of us left in the world.
"In the ancient city of Mist Lock, this competition has just begun." Si Weiqi said lightly.
"Yes, we were careless this time. Not only did we lose Professor Ye, but we also made the water more and more muddy. Now I always feel that my eyes are like this heavy fog, and I can't distinguish anything."
What blocked the view was the fog in the sky. The tall buildings, the watery vehicles, the crowded pedestrians... everything no longer existed, even the arms that swayed out when I walked disappeared in the confusion.
"However, no matter how heavy the fog is, there will always be a time when the clouds clear and the sun shines through."
The sky gradually turned white, but the fog became thicker. A large thick mass of white mist rose up, covering the entire road. My eyes could only focus on a few steps away, and it was difficult to see what was ahead. Wave after wave
The mist came in as heavy as a ball of wool, covering the sun.
