Holy Bone

Chapter 1661 New clues, the truth from more than a decade ago

The cabin was not big, and the two men who were responsible for searching the cabin returned to the stove after a while.

The two men shook their heads at the people who stayed by the stove, indicating that they had not noticed anything. Then they took the hot water handed to them by their companions and sat down in front of the stove to warm themselves by the fire.

This hot water comes from boiling snow water.

As for the snow water, there was a lot of snow on the bodies of the wounded lying on the ground, so we could use local materials.

Because I couldn't understand their language, I temporarily called the two men Big Beard and Brown Beard based on their facial features.

The bearded man looks the strongest and toughest.

The brown-bearded man was the tallest among them.

The man and woman who were taking care of the wounded, the man will be called the sick and thin man for now, and the woman, who was wearing a headband, will be called the headband woman for now.

By the time the big bearded man and the big brown bearded man finished drinking a cup of hot water, the vegetable and fish soup on the stove had been cooked.

There were some simple cooking utensils left in the wooden house on the snowy mountain. They could be considered washed by boiling them in snow water. In addition, these people also had some bowls and spoons with them, so the problem of eating and drinking was not difficult for them for the time being.

Seeing that these people even brought their own bowls and spoons, Wutou Jinan watched quietly, wondering in his heart whether these bowls and spoons were found together with the Gewu Xianding? Or were they something these people brought with them?

These people still didn't notice that there was a headless Taoist priest sitting next to them. They held steaming fish soup and ate it with dry bread in silence, completely unaware that there was an extra person around them.

Several people did not notice the existence of Headless Jin'an, so when they sat down to warm themselves by the fire, they almost sat next to Headless Jin'an, but they did not notice anything unusual around them. Instead, they ate the vegetables and fish with gusto.

A group of people sat around a headless Taoist priest, almost sticking close to each other, yet they were completely unaware of the situation and were eating their food with relish. The scene was horrifying yet with an indescribable strange feeling, and the strange atmosphere in the air became more and more pervasive.

Perhaps it was because they had been traveling for too long in the snowstorm and had been starving, which had consumed too much of their physical energy. In the wooden house, there was only the sound of bowls and spoons colliding, and no one spoke. After they finished their food in silence and replenished their physical strength, they continued to communicate.

But Wutou Jinan couldn't understand what they were saying.

While talking, several people were taking care of the injured and unconscious woman on the ground. Seeing their worried faces, Wutou Jinan guessed that they were worried about their companions' injuries and were discussing how to avoid the blizzard and how to get out of the snowy mountains to rescue their companions.

The wind and snow outside the wooden house were still howling and whistling. The ice covered the land for thousands of miles and the weather was freezing cold. Although the wooden house was old and leaky, it was much warmer than the outside world because it blocked most of the wind and snow and had a fire for heating.

After eating hot food and replenishing their energy, the few people who had been exhausted from traveling all the way gradually felt sleepy and their eyelids became heavier. After one person was left to guard the fire, the others lay down around the fire and fell asleep.

Perhaps because he was too tired, the person in charge of watching the fire also fell asleep soon after.

They slept soundly. Even the intensified snowstorm outside the cabin and the increasingly shrill sound of the wind in the cracks failed to wake them up.

That was because they didn't know there was a headless Taoist priest around them. If they knew that this snowy mountain cabin was not clean and there was a headless Taoist priest sitting among them, they would definitely be scared and lose all their sleepiness and would definitely not be able to sleep. The branches in the stove were burning with a crackling sound. Headless Jinan added the dead branches he brought back to the stove from time to time, and the flames in the stove kept jumping.

However, the intensifying snowstorm outside not only covered up the sound of the burning firewood, but also gradually covered up the temperature of the fire. The temperature in the wooden house was dropping rapidly.

Several people sleeping around the fire curled up and shivered due to the cold in their sleep, and kept moving closer to the fire.

The bearded man woke up once from the cold, but when he saw the fire was still burning brightly, he thought his companions on duty were adding firewood, and soon fell asleep again.

It was completely dark outside the cabin at this time. The temperature was even lower at night, and the blizzard was getting more and more severe.

The colder it got, the deeper they slept. They didn't even notice a headless Taoist priest walking among them, checking their belongings.

Seeing that several people were sleeping soundly, Wutou Jinan unpacked the package and checked the fresh ingredients.

That bag of fresh ingredients included all kinds of animals on the road, fish in the water and birds in the sky, so the food supply was rich.

  But the most valuable thing is to have fresh vegetables and fruits in winter!

After checking, Wutou Jinan found that although the ingredients had been frozen due to the weather, the thickness of the ice showed that the ingredients were freshly frozen. The fish still smelled fishy, ​​and the frozen vegetable leaves had not yet completely frozen and become crispy...

  So many rich ingredients, including those from the sky, underground, water, as well as fruits and vegetables, could not possibly be produced from one place. Fresh fruits and vegetables alone cannot be grown in this season!

All these clues point to the Gewu Immortal Cauldron!

"Hmm? Candied dates?"

Wutou Jinan found Han candied dates among a pile of food ingredients. He continued to search and found quite a few.

Each one is full of color, about half the size of a fist, and is stored fresh.

  This is a foreign country, not Kangding. To see candied dates in a foreign country, Wutou Jinan can only think of one place, which is the Shenzhou ship that went to sea!

Shenzhou passed by here more than ten years ago!

But for some unknown reason, the entire navy fleet was destroyed, and only the Shenzhou ship returned to Kangding. Even the most important national artifact, the Gewu Xianding, was lost overseas!

What really surprised Wutou Jinan was that everyone was saying that the people on the Shenzhou were driven crazy and killed each other because of food shortage, and they were lost in the endless ocean and could not find supplies from land.

But the result is that the food stored in the Gewu Xianding is abundant and has not reached the point of exhaustion.

Far from being at the end of one's rope, on the contrary, the Gewu Xianding, which had abundant food preservation, seemed to have been voluntarily abandoned overseas.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

Some people have already discovered that the evil nature of the Gewu Xianding is closely related to cannibalism.

When Shenzhou set sail, not to mention the many naval fleets that accompanied it, just the naval officers and soldiers on Shenzhou, the imperial guards sent by the royal family to protect it, and the elite firearms battalion trained by Emperor Kangheng himself to protect it, were enough to arm a city. Yet, under the eyes of so many people, they voluntarily abandoned a national artifact like the Gewu Xianding, and no one raised any objection... Only one person could do it!

He was the only one who survived and returned to Kangding State. In the end, he was accused of violating human ethics and survived by eating the corpses of his own people!
