Yuanshin: Before I was buried by Walnut, I opened the coffin and got up

"Thank you."

Abedo was not polite and readily accepted.

During the breakfast chat, Abedo asked about Jiang Bai's goal.

"Which adventurer do you want to collect the bones for?"

"Katis, do you know him?"

"I remember him." Abedo looked dazed.

Katis is a man with a firm face. He often runs to the snow-capped mountains alone, trying to find out the secrets of the snow-capped mountains.

And his workshop is also in the snow-capped mountains, so he got to know him after seeing him a lot.He asked him for some advice, including how to climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain. He also took him on this road at that time, but he didn't know what happened later.

Now when I first heard that he was dead, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Is he dead already?"

"Yeah." Jiang Bai took out the square scripture instrument, and the pointer on it turned into a vertical 80-degree upward pointing gesture, which means that Katis is indeed on it.

"A few days ago, I found that his name was grayed out on the magic weapon, so I set off from Liyue Port. It should be the fourth day now, right?"

Jiang Bai took out a leaflet and stuffed it to him, and began to show the traditional skills of Xiangshengtang.

"How about it, why don't you take a look at our [Falling Leaves Returning to Their Roots] business in Xiangshengtang, and give yourself a guarantee for your future affairs!"

Abedo, who was forced to take the leaflet: "?"

"There are always various accidents in life. My duty is to provide a guarantee for the aftermath of the customers who have ordered our business! No matter where you die, we will bring back your bones and bury you in the Where you want to be buried!"

Jiang Bai is just trying to sell it, and doesn't expect Abedo to really order this business.

After all, Abedo has the Eye of God, so it is not so easy to want to die, and he is still young, no matter how you look at it, he does not need this business.

But what he didn't expect was that after reading the leaflet, Abedo actually seriously thought about the feasibility.

"Is your Pastoral Hall dedicated to dealing with funeral affairs for people?"

Seeing that Abedo was interested, Jiang Bai quickly made persistent efforts and enthusiastically sold it.

"Yes. Our current main business is the funeral business, and there is also a business of buying and selling funeral supplies. The new business [Ye Luo Gui Gen] is also in full swing.

"There is an event going on now. There is a buy one get one free event. The second monument is half-price. If you need it, go to Xiangshengtang to report my name and I will give you a [-]% discount!"

Abedo: "..."

Why do you feel that something is wrong with this business?

Why do you buy one get one free for funerals?

Handling a business with a corpse as a gift?

"If necessary, I will consider it." He put away the flyer and did not continue to discuss this topic.

He felt that if he continued to ask questions, Jiang Bai might say more advertising words.

"Let's go, let's go."

After packing up the things, Jiang Bai held up the torch, and the two went deep into the cave.

The more you go in, the heavier the chill, and the white mist exhaled by Jiang Bai becomes more and more obvious. Even Abedo has a little mist in his breath.

Jiang Bai put a layer of rock shield on himself, trying to isolate the cold, but it didn't work at all.

The cold is like piercing damage, no matter how thick the armor is, it is useless, the hand holding the torch is already a little stiff, and the fingers directly exposed to the air have completely lost consciousness.

Jiang Bai quickly poured himself a few sips of strong wine, and stretched the frozen hand into his neck, trying to restore the temperature of his fingers as quickly as possible.

"Hiss~" The cold touch made Jiang Bai tighten his neck and take a breath.

But this effect is undoubtedly very significant, and within half a minute, the fingers regained consciousness.

The hot spirits also dissipated a bit of cold for the body, so that Jiang Bai would not be shivering from the cold.

"This road has come to an end."

Abedo stopped, the two had come to an end, and there was no longer any way to move forward.

Jiang Bai looked around with the torch, and saw the environment here clearly by the light of the torch.

Chapter 120 The Upward Passage

Large chunks of ice crystals stood around, because of the cold, even the brown rocks on the mountain wall were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the collapsed buildings embedded in the mountain were also covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.

Jiang Bai felt that this should be the road to the top of the mountain, but it collapsed and buried the road.

"Huh? There are traces of climbing here." Jiang Bai moved to the wall to observe carefully.

This is suspected to be the trace left by inserting a hard object such as crampons into the ice layer and climbing up bit by bit.

He tried to look up, but the torch was not bright enough to shine any further.

"This should be the trace left by Katis?"

These traces still look very new, and they seem to have been left some time ago. There is no rain or snow in this airtight cave, so these traces have been completely preserved.

And some time ago, Katis came to the snow mountain, and was obsessed with reaching the top of the mountain.

Except for the traces left by Katis, Jiang Bai couldn't think of anyone else.

"should be."

Abedo came over and looked up along the trace.

Katis has explored the snow-capped mountains for many years, and it is normal to find a way to the top of the mountain.

"There seems to be a passage above, it's too dark to see clearly."

"Then let's go up and have a look!"

It is not easy to climb on such a smooth ice surface. Jiang Bai inserted the torch on the ground, took out crampons and ice hooks and other tools, and first opened a hole in the wall that could be used for strength. Then move up little by little.

Abedo held a light source to illuminate him.

This job was not easy at all, and after climbing a few meters, Jiang Bai felt that he had lost consciousness in his hands and feet again, and the gloves could not keep warm at all, and his fingers were frozen blue and purple under the super cold.

Even the eyebrows, eyelashes, and even hair were covered with a layer of hoarfrost due to the combination of the exhaled air and the ultra-low temperature.

If there is another big beard, Jiang Bai can cos Santa Claus.

"It's so cold... Could this be the center of the cold air in the entire snow mountain?"

Jiang Bai can't wait to wrap a big quilt at this moment, it is best to jump into the fire to keep warm, he feels that he is about to be frozen into an ice sculpture.

With his physical fitness, it was unbearable. I really don't know how the adventurer persisted.

Abedo nodded, "It should be. The energy of the earth veins here is quite strong, and it will be dangerous for ordinary people to stay here for a long time."

If I guessed correctly, Katis probably died because of this too powerful ley line energy.

"I'll make you something that can keep the temperature."

Abedo performed a top alchemy for Jiang Bai on the spot, and he stretched out his hand, and invisible substances gathered, and clusters of brilliance surged in his palm, took shape, and finally turned into a warm sphere .

In addition to being able to generate heat, he can also emit light. Although the light is not bright, it is enough to illuminate the road in front of him.

"A simple heating device, it should last for a while." Abedo handed something similar to a light bulb to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai took the sphere, and a warmth came from the sphere in his hand, like holding a hot water bag filled with hot water.

He looked left and right, and found it incredible.

"This alchemy is too convenient, isn't it? Does this count as something out of nothing?"

"Alchemy is not created out of nothing, it just uses the material transformation in it. The principles and techniques inside are relatively complicated. If I want to explain it to you, I need to start from the most basic introduction to alchemy..."

"It's nothing, it's not important, it's not important..." Jiang Bai quickly stopped Abedo's narration, and it would become an alchemy classroom if he continued.

Stuffing it into the belt and stuck it, the faint warmth spread from the waist to the whole body, and Jiang Bai felt a lot better, so that he would not be frozen into an ice sculpture.

Moving up all the way with difficulty, finally, Jiang Bai found a small passage that could only accommodate one person.

To be precise, this is not a passage, it is more like a gap formed after the collapse of an ancient building before, and then it was covered with ice and snow over the years, closing the upward path.

Then Katis discovered this place, resisting the bone marrow-deep cold, smashed the frozen ice, and forcibly dug a passage.

Jiang Bai crawled slowly in the narrow passageway that was only enough for one person to pass. After climbing for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the light.

The strength that had been almost exhausted surged out again, and he sped up his movements and got out of the hole.

It was a very shocking scene.

A huge pillar-like object was nailed to the ground with a hammer. The pillar has magical patterns, and the material is somewhat similar to the base of the statue of the Seven Heavens.

The upper half of the pillar is broken, and you can see the strange luminous spar wrapped by the stone pillar inside.

The pillar looked as if it had fallen from the sky, falling from the sky like a nail. Because of the huge impact when it landed, it forcibly smashed a huge crater into the towering mountain top.

At this time, the crater was completely covered by ice, and huge ice slugs grew around the strange stone nails that came from the sky. Its fragments were floating in the air, standing still, a cold, desolate and dilapidated scene.

Just when Jiang Bai was shocked, Abedo also crawled out of the hole.

Looking at the huge stone pillar like a spike, he opened his mouth in surprise, "This is?"

It was also only when he knew that there was such a thing on the top of the snow mountain.

Is this the reason why Longji Snow Mountain will become a snow mountain?

"Katis!"

Jiang Bai saw Katis who had turned into an ice sculpture.

At this moment, he was frozen in the ice around the stone nail, maintaining a posture of climbing forward. He stretched out his hand, trying to touch the huge stone nail, but the closer he got, the more intense the chill became. He turned into an ice sculpture, frozen here forever.

Even though he already knew that Katis was dead, seeing such Katis, Jiang Bai felt an indescribable complexity in his heart.

He spent half his life on this snow mountain, and now he lives and dies here, and he doesn't know if his wish has come true.

It should have been realized, after all, he has already climbed this peak.

Jiang Bai stepped forward, ready to move his body out of the ice.

His ruins have been frozen into one with the ice, and Jiang Bai and Abedo worked together to bring him down, away from the huge stone nail that seemed magical but brought destruction.

Finding a leeward place, Jiang Bai took out the firewood and raised the fire, warmed by the temperature of the flames, and melted the thick layer of ice on Castor's body at the same time, preparing to take his relics and cremate him.

Chapter 121 You Are Finally Here...

Just when the sky was getting dark and the ice and snow on Katis' body finally melted, Jiang Bai heard a voice.

"You finally came......"

Jiang Bai was going to get the diary that Katis put on his chest. When he heard this voice, his hand shook, and the diary he got almost fell to the ground.

This voice didn't sound in Jiang Bai's ear alone, Abedo also heard it.

But at this moment, there was no one else around except them, and the sudden sound immediately alerted the two of them.

"who?!"

"Don't be afraid, it's me." An illusory figure floated out of the diary in Jiang Bai's hand.

That is Katis, the soul that survived unexpectedly because of the strong obsession and the special environment here.

He possessed his most important diary, retaining his memory and consciousness.

Jiang Bai has already seen a ghost, and he was not too surprised to see Katis' ghost again, and he accepted it well.

On the contrary, Abedo, the researcher's instinct broke out, and subconsciously began to study the constituent substances of the soul in front of him.

Study why he can exist after leaving the body.

"You came earlier than I thought." Katis said with a relaxed tone. Although he looked fierce because of the scar on his face, he was actually a very talkative person.

"Hey, if I hadn't met Abedo, I might still be looking for the way up now..." Jiang Bai sighed.

He found that the four-square scripture had no effect at all in guiding the way. It could only indicate the direction where Katis was, and could not lead him the way.

In other words, if Katis died in the sky, it can only point to the sky, and Jiang Bai can find a way to go to the sky.

Although it is looking for an exit in a secret or dangerous place, more often he needs a way to enter, not an exit.

After all, the prerequisite for finding the exit is that he can enter the secret realm.
