Chapter 384 Shenluogou
Since you want something, no matter whether it is good or bad, you should try your best to avoid it.
It is important to be on guard against others.
Others could naturally hear the meaning behind Chen Ziyan’s words, so they didn’t ask any more questions, but no one would clarify it. Some things were tacitly understood. That's enough.
Without any further delay here, Chen Ziyan and the others planned to enter Shenluogou as soon as possible.
If they want to enter this ancient glacier, the first thing they need to face is a large ice ridge.
This ice ridge is the gateway to Shenluogou, and it is also the barrier that isolates the inside and outside. It is precisely because of the ice ridge across here that the yak herd cannot continue to follow.
A few people first put on protective clothing, jackets and other clothing, and then began to wear protective gear and tools. It can be said that they brought everything they could carry with them.
On the other hand, guns, ammunition and other items were not carried with them because they were worried that the sound of gunshots would cause avalanches. Instead, they turned off the safety and put them in their backpacks. At least until they were sure that they would be safe to use, they would only Protect yourself with cold weapons.
Fortunately, there are two puppet armors who share most of the remaining materials and equipment. The number allocated to a few people is not too much, otherwise even if they can bring everything with them, they will definitely fail because of this. Affects normal mobility.
After completing these pre-action chores, the group of people came to the edge of the ice ridge on the other side of the hillside. It could be seen that the angle of the ice ridge was not too steep, ranging from 40 to 60 degrees. Just set a few long ropes on top and you can slide down.
After making some calculations in his mind, Chen Ziyan looked around and quickly found a suitable place.
The ice he passed through at the location he chose was thick enough, so there was no need to worry about it breaking with the slightest touch.
After a little testing, they determined that the ice below was enough to bear the weight of a human body. Chen Ziyan and the others placed the rope and took turns grabbing the rope and sliding down as planned.
After landing, Chen Ziyan once again raised his telescope and looked into the distance. Standing in the Shenluogou, he felt that this was indeed a complex glacier with a long history, and his eyes were filled with endless forests and snow-capped mountains. .
After careful observation, Chen Ziyan discovered that the entire glacier was divided by forests. Although there were countless ice leaks, ice caves, ice ditches and ice waterfalls, most of them were separated by forests, and those at lower altitudes The area is full of green fields, and streams formed by melting ice water run through it, nourishing all kinds of life in it.
Entering the forest along the glacier, the group of people were referring to the terrain as they walked. With the experience of the first year of junior high school and the information collected by Lei Xianming, coupled with the ancient silver eyes and text maps in their hands, although they were traveling at a fast speed Not fast, but always on the right path.
When walking to a site where sacrifices were once made, Shirley Yang inspected it and said: "The style of these remaining items is from hundreds of years ago. Judging from the time, they should be The Reincarnation Sect has only had two forces since ancient times. One is the demon kingdom that once swept through the snowy area, and the other is the mysterious Reincarnation Sect. However, the two are active. The time points are different, so it is easy to distinguish.
There is no need to verify it. It will definitely be the reincarnation sect within a thousand years.
"The Reincarnation Sect is inextricably linked to the Demonic Kingdom, and it may even have been founded by the descendants of the ancient Demonic Kingdom. Since there are traces of the Reincarnation Sect's activities here, we should not be on the wrong track." Chen Ziyan continued.
He knew that the place surrounded by four snow-capped mountains that he and others were looking for, that is, the Phoenix Palace in the Tantric Feng Shui, was not only the core main city of the Demon Kingdom - Evil Luohai City, but also the holy land of the Samsara Sect. .
So the activities of the Samsara Sect must be centered around it. Seeing the remains of the Samsara Sect’s sacrifices here shows that the general direction is OK.
Hu Bayi looked at the half-buried ruins and suddenly asked: "There is something I can't figure out. If it is based on what we saw and heard in King Xian's tomb, what should we do? The place we are looking for should be an ancient city on a peak. Why is it now a place surrounded by snow-capped mountains?" This question has been lingering in his mind for a long time. Now that he is getting closer to his destination, he finally can't help but ask. out.
Chen Ziyan was not surprised by this. If he hadn't known the cause and effect, he would have had such doubts.
However, he did not rush to answer, but asked: "Old Hu, do you still remember the story about the origin of Shenluogou that I told you on the first day of junior high school?"
"Remember." Hu Ba nodded.
He was also present when the story was told on the first day of junior high school, so he naturally remembered the story.
It is said that this area was once an inland ocean, and there was a huge conch sitting on the bottom of the sea. Later, the conch became a demon with magical powers, causing the nearby creatures to suffer a lot. In order to subdue it, the Buddha The ocean was raised into land, and the conquered conch demon was converted into a protector. The conch shell left behind became the Shenluogou Glacier.
After recalling this allusion, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan in confusion. He didn't understand what inspiration this absurd story could give him.
This type of legend and story seems to be made up by the predecessors based on the place names. Otherwise, how could it be so consistent with the teaching of "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately".
Chen Ziyan smiled when he saw this and said: "Since the ocean can turn into land, can't the mountains fall?"
Although the story is absurd, it can also reflect reality, and... …Most of the time, reality is more disordered than the story.
"Fall..." Hu Bayi was suddenly surprised when he heard this: "Yes, the Demon Kingdom has been around for an unknown number of years, and any changes may occur in the vicissitudes of life."
When Wang Kaixuan heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but asked: "If this is really the case, wouldn't the place we are looking for originally be a snow mountain?"
"That's right." Chen Ziyan clicked. nod.
But what he didn't say was that the place they were looking for was not just a snow mountain, but the largest snow mountain in the Karamir region.
You must know that although there are many snow-capped mountains in Karamir, there is one in the east and one in the west. There are very few connected together, let alone four snow-capped mountains together.
What’s even more outrageous is that the four snowy mountains gathered together are located at the center of the legendary Sea of Disaster.
Nothing about this matter felt right, so after synthesizing the information he knew, Chen Ziyan came to a conclusion.
That is where Eluohai City is located, which is the main peak of the largest snow mountain in this area. With the fall of Eluohai City, this majestic snow mountain was divided into four, becoming the current four phases. Adjacent to snow-capped mountains.
The so-called Sea of Disaster was also another name given to the scope of the Demon Kingdom’s rule by the oppressed at that time.
Although this is just Chen Ziyan's guess, and there is no way to know the facts, he feels that this statement is completely tenable, at least it makes sense logically.
