Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 290 Ice and Snow Boundary, Kettle

Hai Dongqing couldn't tell us anything, Meng Luo stepped forward, sprinkled a handful of cinnabar on top of its head, a puff of black smoke came out, and made a "chi chi", Meng Luo said: "It's the sharp claws of the little devil, or It's the claws of something evil, it's so yin!"

The cinnabar has a great stimulating effect on the sea holly. It immediately shook its body and its legs were trembling. I supported him and motioned him to lie on the ground to rest. I stood up and looked around. The other sea holly hadn't come back yet. The place where they go is behind these boulders, and further ahead is the mountain where the shadow cannot be seen clearly. I made up my mind that that is where we should go.

As soon as I told my decision, Hwaseong was the first to object: "Can you be responsible?"

"I can." I said firmly: "You heard Tao Ran's words, as long as you pay attention to the landmarks, you will be drawn to this place. Luoyang Zi has lived for more than 400 years, and we all know his meticulous thoughts. Passed—a lesson learned with blood, he must have been here too, the person who scratched Hai Dongqing was most likely a kid, how could it be such a coincidence, we followed Luo Yangzi over here, he would raise a kid, and the one who scratched Hai Dongqing was Little ghost, and there are thousands of years of ginseng in this place, the innate maze, and now there are these inexplicable moisture, let me tell you something, the more mysterious the place, the more secret treasures are hidden, the jade grass that guy is looking for Ganoderma lucidum may be around here."

"How do you prove it?" Hwaseong was still aggressive: "If we go wrong, we are wasting time."

"Just go forward, wait until the moisture is gone, and see if there is a snow line on that mountain." I said, "Also, find another sea holly. It hasn't come back yet. There are all possibilities."

Hwaseong sneered: "Simply put, this is your intuition. Ask everyone, are you willing to trust your intuition?"

I looked at everyone, Lao Jiu first, he snorted: "Where are you, where am I, there is nothing to say, is it, Munro?"

Munro nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Three votes." I looked at Hwaseong: "Now three to three."

"No, we haven't made a statement yet." Tao Ran said: "Actually, the distance between us and Luoyangzi is so large, even if we catch up to Tianchi, we may miss it. If the mountain in front of us is also a snow-capped mountain, this is also a possibility. He may not It's in Tianchi, isn't it? I don't absolutely agree, but I agree to see if there is a snow line on this mountain first."

Seventh Brother nodded and said: "Officer Tao is right. Jade grass and Ganoderma lucidum only grow on snow-capped mountains. There may be more than one snow-capped mountain in Changbai Mountain. As long as it is, it is possible. Let’s see if the mountain in front is a snow mountain, and make another plan, we’ve been delaying for so long, it’s not too late, is it?”

This is good, I have absolute support, and Hwaseong has nothing to do. We got in the car and carried our backpacks. After we were ready, we locked the car and left. We walked to the row of stones, and I climbed over them first. On the other side of the stone was a road I simply bent down and looked at both sides of the road carefully. The injured Hai Dongqing stood on my shoulder and suddenly called out. I patted it: "Did you find your companion?"

Hai Dongqing raised her head high, and there was something approaching us on top of her head. I just felt a cool wind blowing over my head. I raised my head, and the sea holly on my shoulder screamed, and the thing on top of my head immediately adjusted its direction to one side. It flew away, and at the same time gave a long roar, it was another sea holly!

It was clearly trying to attack me just now, and it was full of aggressiveness. Fortunately, the injured Hai Dongqing gave a warning in advance, and it was able to distinguish between friend and foe. My life is hanging by a thread!
The sea holly swooped down again, landed on the ground smoothly, screamed excitedly, the injured sea holly rushed over excitedly, the two little things leaned against each other, looking very intimate, the old nine came over, Pointing to its feet, he said, "Look, what's in the gap between his claws?"

It was a piece of cloth. Seventh Brother rushed over. Perhaps his action was so violent that he startled Hai Dongqing. It raised its claws and waved towards Seventh Brother's eyes. I immediately shouted: "Stop!"

Seventh Brother's eyes escaped, and Seventh Brother looked at me: "I want to see that piece of cloth."

I nodded and pulled out the cloth from Hai Dongqing's claws. Seventh Brother took a closer look and immediately said: "The last time he was going to attack me, he was wearing clothes of the same fabric and the same color. Lin Tianyi, this is someone On the one hand, it confirms your guess that Luoyangzi escaped from here, can we let Hai Dongqing lead the way?"

This is of course no problem. When I gave an order, the sea holly flew up. Because of the water mist, it did not fly too high. Rather than watching it move forward, it is better to listen to its long whistle. Okay, it is very clever, and it makes sounds from time to time. Tao Ran sighed: "The talent of animals is really amazing."

"Don't forget, human beings are higher animals." I said, "But human beings call themselves higher creatures, but sometimes they are not as good as lower animals. For example, they can kill their own kind without mercy."

Seventh Brother's shoulders shook: "People's desires have no bottom."

Huacheng snorted: "What are you playing about? I have only come here now. I can't even see the shadow of the mountain. What kind of cloth is there? Why do you think it belongs to Luoyangzi?"

"First of all, the patterns and colors of the cloth strips match. Don't ask me why I am so sure. Seventh brother has lived for more than four hundred years and is a generation of genius doctors. Don't doubt his IQ. Second, it can be someone else. However, our previous experience shows that ordinary people can’t break through the maze at all, they can only circle behind the boulder, and they can’t break through the boulder smoothly. Thirdly, there may be dead bodies inside, but think about it, If it was a dead person, the clothes would have been rotted long ago, is the cloth still this new?" I said coldly, "In summary, you can see what you think."

Hwaseong asked me to lead the army, and I was speechless. Tao Ran stopped and stood beside him silently. I clearly saw Tao Ran holding Hwaseong's hand, and I didn't know why. The mist in the air faded, which allowed me to clearly see their hands clenched together. My heart twitched inexplicably, and a strong sourness surged up. Lao Jiu pinched me: "How about it?" Are you happy? Lin Tianyi, you pushed Tao Ran to his side with your own hands."

Lao Jiu's words made me even more uncomfortable, and I said angrily: "Hurry up and go."

The farther we were from the rock pile just now, the weaker the water mist was until it completely faded away, and the eyes became open, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. The snow scene in front of me made me open my mouth: "Is it snowing?"

The snow fluttered down and fell on top of our heads. I couldn’t believe it. We went from green all the way to barren all the way to white snow all the way. It was like passing through the four seasons. There was a feeling of interlacing time and space. There was a vast expanse of whiteness all around. I looked back In the past, the daze behind us still exists, and the thick water vapor lingers, completely blocking us from the outside world!

We should go all the way up, the acidity of our legs can tell us this, and the shape of the mountain ahead is completely clear, we can see that most of the whole mountain is covered in white snow, only a few rocks are exposed at the foot of the mountain On the outside, it is the red color of flesh, which is very eye-catching in the whiteness everywhere...

Our current height is extraordinary. As for where the Tianchi Lake is, it doesn’t matter at all now. The snow is still falling, and it’s not that big. It melts when it falls on our shoulders. Man: "What now?"

"Look for the traces of Luoyangzi coming here before making plans," Hua Cheng still refused to admit defeat.

As soon as his words fell, Hai Dongqing, who was leading the way, flew out, stood on a piece of white snow, let out a long whistle, and I hurried over, and Hai Dongqing tapped the snow under her body with her claws, and I rushed over, I took out the telescopic tool shovel, opened it and began to dig the snow there. The hard object under the snow touched the front end of the shovel. I gave up the shovel and directly scraped the snow with my hands. , the whole kettle was brought out, and the snow was brought out and hit me in the face, it was so fucking cold, I wiped my face and cursed: "It's so cold."

The soles of my feet are still hot. As a result of walking for a long time, my face is very cold and my hands are stiff. Without gloves, I will freeze into icicles. There is still some water in the kettle, and now it is frozen into ice. Shaking the pot did not respond. A piece of paint was rubbed off on the pot, revealing the original color of the pot. I pulled out the folded strap, but the strap was broken. The drop of the pot was not voluntary, and it was most likely an accident.

Tao Ran said: "In the deep mountains, the water in the kettle is very important, especially in this place of ice and snow."

Meng Luo, who had always seemed to be non-existent, made a move at this time. He took out a piece of talisman paper, sprayed blood on the tip of his tongue, and drew the Zhengyang talisman. The moment the Zhengyang talisman paper burned, he threw the Zhengyang talisman on the ground. In the snow, a hole was burned out in the thick layer of white snow, and black air came out at the same time, just like the steam emitted when boiling water. Meng Luo said confidently: "This is the place where Hai Dongqing was injured. The Yin Qi here is heavy, and it is very close to the kettle."

The injured Hai Dongqing nodded in agreement, and Munro said, "That guy must be nearby, I can smell him."

"How did he come here after leaving for such a long time?" Seventh Brother said, "Lin Tianyi, isn't it strange?"

"Well, I'm thinking about this." I frowned: "Why did you come here in the end? Could it be that he has already been to Tianchi in his time, but found nothing, so he moved here?"

"I don't know, I just know, Huacheng, we have good reasons to enter the mountain." Tao Ran turned to look at Huacheng: "What do you think?"
