Chapter 90 Little Avalanche

090 Chapter 90 Small avalanche

The fat man reminded everyone in an extremely soft voice: "No one is allowed to talk, and no one is even allowed to fart. Everyone is looking for any protruding rocks or ice crevices nearby. We are going to be unlucky."

Lang Feng was immersed in a dumbfounded state, muttering blankly: "It's impossible. I calculated the weight accurately..." Before he could finish speaking, Monk Hua covered his mouth, signaling that he would speak later. Say it again.

In the place where we are standing now, the snow layer above our heads is actually not thick, and it will only cause a small-scale collapse. However, the piece of bare rock we are on is too gentle and too close to the fracture surface. Once the snow wave washes down, It is unstoppable. We will easily be covered in snow, and there is a very high steep slope at our feet. There is nowhere to escape. We must find a place of refuge as soon as possible.

At this time, everyone was very nervous. They all picked up their belongings gently and prepared to move carefully.

Fortunately, the fat man quickly found a huge walnut-like stone. There was an angle between the bottom and the rock, which was more suitable for hiding.

Pan Zi followed the fat man, the younger brother followed behind with me on his back, followed closely by Lang Feng who carried Chen Pi Asi, then Ye Cheng who carried Shun Zi on his back, and Wu Xie came last.

We saw that if we wanted to reach the bottom of the rock, we had to climb slowly on the ice of the glacier. The situation was critical now and we had no time to change our skates. It was very slippery, so we had to go over cautiously.

The fat man took the lead, tied a rope around his waist, and left one end for us. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the ice, and climbed to the other side lightly. Everyone looked at him with fear, but the fat man was quite skilled. In three steps, he climbed steadily to the stone on the opposite side. He grabbed the rope around his waist, looked above his head, made sure there was no problem, and waved everyone over.

A few of them pulled the rope, and we arrived at the bottom of the rock very carefully in order.Although it didn't take long, at this time, large chunks of snow began to fall from the snow gap above. Now it was Wu Xie who hadn't come over yet. The fat man waved his hand to let him pass quickly.

Wu Xie's balance was very poor. He patted his face to encourage himself, then tied the other end of the rope around his waist, and stepped on the first step cautiously, but nervousness and fear could not stop him. His legs were shaking as if he had stepped on a switch.

The fat man saw that he was in trouble now. The boy was scared again and hurriedly whispered: "Don't think so much, it's only two steps, you can just jump over."

Wu Xie looked at the fat man in panic, and then looked at the distance. It was true that as long as he exerted enough strength, he could definitely jump over. He originally wanted to jump over with all his strength, but the moment he tried hard, his feet suddenly sank. The ice had been stepped on many times, and when it could no longer withstand the force, it broke into pieces. Wu Xie's feet slipped on the slope, and he slid straight down.

But there was ice all around, and there was no place to put his strength. He suddenly fell until the rope tightened and hung on the ice cliff. At this moment, the fat man was almost dragged off the stone by Wu Xie. Fortunately, Pan Zi caught him. waistband.

Wu Xie was in shock. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard the "click" of the carabiner buckle on his body. Wu Xie looked down and cursed in his heart, "It's so damn bad!" Going to decouple

The people above pulled Wu Xie hard and he stopped. They pulled the rope hard, trying to pull Wu Xie up, but every time they pulled, the rope loosened. Wu Xie was always anxious below, trying to find someone quickly. A place where you can step on your feet so you can fasten the buttons again, otherwise it will be ruined if the buttons come off.

After thinking about it, there was nothing he could do. Wu Xie hurriedly pulled out his mountaineering pickaxe and knocked it hard on the ice cliff, stopping it there.Then I stepped on my left foot and found a place where I could support it. I quickly lowered my head and replaced the carabiner, but before I could secure it, there was suddenly a weird vibration above my head. I felt a little thump in my heart, it was broken.

When he looked up, he saw several people above him looking at him like they were idiots.Before he could react what was going on, in an instant, a white snow mist suddenly exploded into the air, almost blocking his entire field of vision.

Yes, an avalanche!

Wu Xie didn't scream, and he didn't have time to be surprised. He heard the fat man shouting from the side: "Grab the mountaineering pickaxe! Stick to the ice!" Then the surrounding area became completely dark, and a large amount of snow poured down like a waterfall. When he came down, his body sank suddenly, as if a dozen people suddenly pulled his clothes down. The rope around his waist was immediately buckled into the flesh of his waist, and a large amount of snow breath choked his lungs. , huge momentum hit every part of his body, he couldn't lift his head, and his throat was tight. It was a suffocating feeling. The body was piled up and hit by cold snow from all directions. In an instant, his nose and mouth It's full of the smell of snow foam.

Wu Xie's mind was still clear at this time, and he suddenly remembered that ice is an excellent conductor of shock transmission, especially extremely thick ice, which has extremely strong resonance. The pickaxe just now finally catalyzed the formation of an avalanche.There was sadness in his heart, he couldn't laugh or cry, he was such an idiot... He almost wanted to slap himself, but he regretted it too late. His whole body was spinning around like a top. Wu Xie wanted to grab the mountaineering pickaxe, but he couldn't even hold his hand. I can't feel anything anymore.

Just when my mind started to get foggy and I thought I was dead, suddenly I felt the rope being lifted up, and my body was pulled up a little. I was overjoyed that it was Fatty and the others pulling me on the other end, and my hope suddenly ignited again. , the rope can still respond, which means that the amount of snow dropped by the avalanche is not very thick, and their strength can still be transmitted, so they may not die.

Wu Xie hurriedly pulled at the surrounding snowflow and dug his body upwards. After staggering several times, his ears suddenly roared with the pull of the rope, and his eyes lit up as he explored the surface of the snowflow.

We hid under the corner of the rocks on one side, and the snow flow rushed over the rocks, forming a snowfall in front of us. Everyone was safe and sound.Fatty and Lang Feng pulled the rope and saw Wu Xie being pulled out. They yelled and asked, "Are you okay?"

Wu Xie gasped for air and nodded. At this time, the snow was still sliding down. Wu Xie pulled the rope hard and started to move closer to us against the snow flow.But the force of the snow flow was so great that he couldn't stand up at all, and he couldn't move even with all his strength. The fat man had no choice but to pull him and wait for the snow flow to pass.

In less than half a minute, the snow flow basically stopped, leaving only a large amount of broken snow.Wu Xie bravely took a look at his feet. The entire valley was shrouded in white mist. This was really another time to escape from the gate of hell, and he couldn't help but feel scared.Wu Xie returned to us safely, scaring all of us.The fat man patted him and said: "You kid is really lucky. Fortunately, this is just a collapse and there is little snow. Otherwise, not only you, I will probably have to tear you off this time."

Wu Xie was still stunned. His hiking hat had fallen off and his ears were red from the cold. He couldn't hear clearly what the fat man said, so he had to pat him and turned to look at the surface of the glacier on one side. The entire snow slope had already poured down. When we reached the bottom of the valley, a huge, steep-slope glacier was exposed in front of us. From time to time, broken snow rolled down from it, reminding us that there was still the danger of a second avalanche.

However, in the snow-capped mountain valley, seeing such a huge ice cliff exposed under the setting sun, the scene is still very shocking.

Ye Cheng murmured on the side: "Lang Da's gunshots are not without results."

After watching for a moment, everyone gradually came to their senses.I want to look for traces of the burial tomb again.

They used several flashlights and shined their light into the ice. It was chaotic and bottomless. Wu Xie said doubtfully: "General snow mountain glaciers are only about 20 meters thick. The thickness of this glacier seems a bit abnormal." .”

The fat man looked at it carefully. After a while, he suddenly said "Hey" and grabbed the flashlight from Monk Hua to take a photo.This is what they discovered. They also looked along the fat man's flashlight. Under the weak light of the flashlight, they saw the dark blue translucent depth of the glacier in the direction the fat man was shining. Wu Xie looked at it and said : "There seems to be a huge looming shadow inside, occupying almost half of the ice cliff. Judging from the shape, it looks like a curled-up baby with a big head."

The sun gradually set in the west, and the ice layer gradually turned black, and the huge shadow inside began to blur. The more Wu Xie looked at it, the more he felt in his heart: "The shape of this shadow is too strange. The head is huge, and there seems to be hair all over the body." Like a thorn."

Ye Cheng said: "Damn it, you don't worship the Bodhisattva when you come out, and you always encounter evil spirits. What the hell is this?"

But they didn't know it. The younger brother just looked at it without saying a word, because he had already read the information and knew it well, and now he was just observing.

They thought about it and had no clue, but when they saw the shadow in the ice, their curiosity couldn't be stopped. They used ice picks to make a foothold on the glacier, put on ropes, put on skates, and descended to the surface of the glacier. I looked carefully at the strange black shadow frozen inside the glacier. My brother carried me on his back and stayed in a safer place.

At this time, Chen Pi Asi regained consciousness. Monk Hua and Ye Cheng helped him get down from the top. They carefully helped him to the front.

Chen Pi's reaction was still unpleasant. He rubbed his eyes, squatted down, and stared at the shadow in the ice cap for a long time. Suddenly he said "hmm": "This shadow...could it be a "Kunlun fetus"?" But he He looked unsure, and just after he finished speaking, he shook his head again.

Monk Hua explained: "This "Kunlun fetus" is a strange natural phenomenon. It refers to the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers at the source of the dragon vein. Often in rocks, glaciers, and trees, some strange baby-like objects will be born on their own. When something comes out, it is called "the earth gives birth to a fetus" in these ancient books. For example, Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. In Feng Shui, the "Kunlun fetus" is the treasure cave of destiny. Only when the "Kunlun fetus" begins to form, can it be discovered accidentally. , then dig out the fetal shape, and then build a mausoleum in it. Such a treasure cave is rare. Legend has it that only those who can reach the sky are qualified. The only person recorded in history who was buried in the "Kunlun Fetus" is one person. , that is Huangdi."

The fat man frowned and knelt down to look at the shadow: "Is there such a sinister thing? However, this "Kunlun fetus" doesn't look like a human fetus. Look, it seems to have thorns."

Chen Pi Asi said with an uncertain look: "I am also guessing that the "Kunlun Fetus" is a fetus determined by the gods and a divine creature born from the earth. If this is the "Kunlun Fetus"..." He looked at the Three Sacred Snow Mountains in the distance, his eyes There was extreme confusion.

Wu Xie knew what he was doubting and answered: "This is the natural treasure cave "Kunlun Fetal Position", but this is just a burial mausoleum. In this case, the Feng Shui of Sansheng Mountain, where the main mausoleum of Yunding Tiangong is located, must be so good. It’s over.”

Chen Pi Asi sighed in confusion: "Yes, there is no better Feng Shui than the "Kunlun Fetus". This is already the place where the spiritual energy of the earth gathers. Is the palace really built in the sky!"

After hearing this, the fat man said, "How is that possible!"

Chen Pi Asi also felt: "It's impossible, so there is definitely something wrong with the "Kunlun Fetus" appearing here. Could it be that the trend of the mountains and rivers was changed by him, and Wang Zanghai actually has such magical powers?" He followed him and looked around to see the surroundings. Mountain shape.

Wu Xie had an idea and said: "Could this fetal shadow be fake? Is it artificially constructed? The entrance to the mausoleum was frozen in the soil and shaped into a baby shape, which is indeed in line with Wang Zanghai's character of not being frightened to death." "

Chen Pi Asi's attention was entirely focused on the surrounding mountains and he didn't even listen to what he said.He turned to look at the little brother, but at this time the little brother was also a little confused and stared at the shadow with a complicated expression without saying a word.

What the little brother was thinking about now was the information in the information I gave him. He carefully reviewed it in his mind. He remembered that that day I held up my little hands with small blood holes and said to him with a look of grievance on my face. : "Let me tell you, Wang Zanghai is really good in professional skills, but he is very scheming. There will be unexpected things wherever he builds. What you see in front of you may not be true. What seems good It may be bad, and it may be fake if it looks real. Do you remember that the corpse-raising coffin was like that before? It was his routine not to play according to the routine."

Thinking of this, he wanted to look back at me, and I lay softly on top of him. This time, our heads were pressed tightly together. He just tilted his head and looked at me quietly. I didn't know anything in my sleep, so I moved, hugged him tightly, and turned my head slightly to his side. Almost half of our faces were pressed together. The younger brother was stunned, and the two of them stayed like that. a period of time.
