Chapter 41 Chapter 12 Lotus Lantern

I thought about it for a long time, and when I thought it was right, I ran all the way back to the stone room with the big civet in my arms.They were still busy going around there, Xu Qianer and Fan Li studied for a long time, and finally saw a little trick.They found that each small door has a groove, but the location is different.There are low and high, big and small, although it is a natural groove, but this is too coincidental, presumably the person who built it did it on purpose. "You said you know how to find the life door?" "Just let me try, anyway, you..." Xu Qianer obviously doesn't believe me, a junior.He lived in Meili Snow Mountain before and knew a lot of things. I was the bride on the sedan chair—for the first time, I knew nothing about Meili Snow Mountain.But Xu Shaode believed in me. In college, he always asked me to solve any difficult problems, and he never let him down.Everyone thought to themselves, they've tried everything, let's let a young man try it, maybe a blind cat can really hit a dead mouse.

I took out the solid fuel wind lantern from my backpack, lit it and put it on the ground. This thing is the equipment used when climbing high-altitude snow-capped mountains. It can be used for lighting and heating. Suddenly the whole stone room is lit up, and the fog has lightened a lot.Then I deliberately called Xu Shaode and asked him to go up to the end of the stairs with me.He was very happy, and rushed to pick up the big civet, drooling like a flood of saliva as he walked.The big civet seemed to be aware of the danger, so it kept curling up, not daring to move.Seeing this situation, I told Xu Shaode again not to hurt the big civet.While I don't know what it's intended for, it certainly helped a lot.

The reason why I said I called Xu Shaode up on purpose is because he is relatively honest, and if he is lying, I can see through it at a glance.I wanted to ask him how he got here, and what he was looking for.After we walked a little far away, I immediately showed my power, playing both soft and hard. Xu Shaode was quickly defeated. He said that he didn't know why, but one day he was pulled out while squatting in the toilet, and then he was brought here.Fan Li set off from Beijing with him. All he knew was that the person who was looking for him at the time said that he must bring back a stone letter with the word "two" on it, but the things in the stone letter must not be read.Therefore, he didn't understand what they were looking for.In fact, he is still more puzzled than I am now, and Xu Shaode also wants to know why he was found, but the people above said that as long as Shi Han is found, he can return home early, which is really tempting to him.

When we reached the end of the stairs, we removed the ancient oil lamps and put the solid fuel lanterns on.This fire light is not ordinary, it is much stronger than a flashlight, it replaces an oil lamp, and the spar emits a faint beam of light.The beams of light shot one after another, like a relay, and finally shot into the stone chamber.I yelled from above, asking them if the beam of light was completely aligned with the groove of the small door.After trying several times, finally, the beam of light coincided with a small door.Immediately after they made a mark on the small door, they asked us to come down quickly, so we must hurry up.

"Brother Wanzang, you go in first, my figure..." Xu Shaode said with a smirk, "If I get stuck in the middle, you won't be able to get out." Everyone felt that what he said was right, so they simply arranged for him to be the last one. Xu Shaode immediately shook his head when he saw that we were not polite.I am neither skinny nor fat, and my skills are not bad, so they let me go first, so that if I run into danger, I can solve it for them.I squeezed in sideways, there wasn't much dust in the stone door, and the air wasn't dull, as if people often came in and out from here.The passage in the stone gate is a bit long, and I almost got stuck a few times, but fortunately, after a certain distance, the passage becomes larger.However, I found that there are a few places on the ground that are very sticky, and it feels weird to step on it.I looked down, touched it with my hand, and tasted it with my tongue, only to find that it was honey on the ground.It is somewhat far from the beeswax bridge here, and it is impossible for the blood bees to throw honey here.I feel a little strange, but they are urging to move forward quickly, so I don't want to delay.After many twists and turns, just as I stepped out of this so-called Qimen Dunjia, I was greeted with a cold and biting breath, and my lungs hurt even after taking a breath.

At this time, the big civet also took advantage of my unpreparedness, struggled to jump to the ground, and then ran to the distance.I looked up, and the sight in front of me was so surprising that I let my guard down.At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly hit my side, hitting my shoulder as if it was broken, and I also flew a long way, hitting an ice rock with my head. My forehead collided fiercely with the ice stone, and I finally realized what it meant to be blood splattered and flesh torn apart.After struggling to get up, I turned my head to look, but there was nothing unusual in the back, only my companion had just come out of the small door.Could it be that I was dizzy from hunger and had hallucinations?But the wounds on my body can be faked, and they really hurt me.If it weren't for my stronger bones, half of my life would not have been lost.

In fact, even if there was something, it might be hiding.Because after turning out from the small gate, here is an ice forest, and the white mist is filled, like a fairyland.If you play hide-and-seek here, the person who is a ghost will be unlucky for eight lifetimes. I am afraid that he will not be able to find anyone even if he spends thousands of years. As soon as Yuan Yuanyuan and the others came out, they were all amazed. In the end, Fan Li noticed my wound. After asking about the situation, he frowned and looked around, as if he could see through the white mist.I think the funniest thing is Xu Qianer. Even if he stands in front of you, he can’t see clearly here, but he still wears sunglasses. Isn’t it because narcissus doesn’t bloom—is he pretending to be garlic?

Because of the relationship between the fog and the ice forest, we can't see this area clearly at once, so we dare not act rashly.The ice forest here is similar to the stone forest in Yunnan. If all the ice forest here melted, we would all be drowned.Low temperature must be one of the conditions for thousands of ice forests to grow here, so I quickly asked them to turn off the fuel lamp and turn on the flashlight.Xu Shaode was reluctant at first, he kept the lamp on to keep warm, but now he was going to turn off the lamp, of course he refused. My shoulder hurt so much that I wanted to call my mother, but when I saw Xu Shaode playing his temper, I snatched the fuel lamp angrily.What I didn't expect was that Xu Shaode held onto it so tightly that I didn't pull it over.What's more terrible is that the fuel lamp was pulled by us in this way, and it simply fell to the ground, shook and shattered.Fortunately, there is no fire. If this place is set on fire, everyone will die.

I asked Yuan Yuanyuan, where is the thing I'm looking for, and I can't just run around like headless chickens.She replied that she didn't know, she only knew that the things were inside, and she didn't know where it was.We fell into the clouds and fog, and walked cautiously. Fortunately, the ice forest can refract light, so the light of our flashlights was enlarged several times. Because I was injured, I always felt that someone was going to attack from behind, so I turned around every three steps.But it didn't matter when he turned his head, he saw several black shadows following behind.When I opened my eyes again, they were gone again.Could it be that I really encountered a ghost, damn it, I don't believe in this evil.I wanted to go back and see what was following us, but Fan Li held me back and told me not to make trouble.What he said is also right, if the visitor is not kind, I am asking for trouble.After comforting myself, I followed them around the ice forest obediently.But after walking a short distance, we found that there seemed to be light in front of us, but the fog was too heavy to see clearly. Everyone guessed that the light from our flashlights might be refracted.In the Crescent Golden Summit, people often see the Buddha's light, which is actually reflected by the sunlight.

As I walked, I thought why two groups of people were arranged to come here.Who is the person who arranged this matter? Isn't he afraid that two groups of people will bump into him and see through his lies?Is what he wants really the same as the purpose of Japanese spies coming here during World War II?The big civet is also a bit strange, it looks like it knows how to get out of Qimen Dunjia, and it seems that he stayed to let us pass the test smoothly.But why did it bring us here?Next time I see it again, I have to tie it with a rope so that it doesn't run away again. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice that they had stopped, and I accidentally bumped into a hard object as I continued walking.Fan Li and the others really didn't say a word when they encountered obstacles, and they wanted to avenge their personal revenge.But, I thought about it again, something is wrong, why is it not so dark, it seems to be the same as daytime.I stopped and looked again, my God, in front of me was a huge lotus-shaped ice stone, and the ice stone was shining with white light, which reminded me of the lotus lantern in the myth.

This lotus lantern is as big as a bathtub, and there are more than one. There are nine in full bloom here.Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that the lights they saw just now were these nine ice lanterns.However, how they light up and how they remain unchanged for thousands of years is unknown.Saying that it will remain unchanged for a thousand years may be my preconceived idea, because this is not a market, and it is impossible for people to come in every day. Maybe we are the first batch in a thousand years. I just wanted to walk to another lotus lantern, but my feet couldn't move, maybe I was frozen.But it was impossible to think about it. I looked down and saw a thin blue dry hand stretched out from the ground, grabbing my foot firmly.It may be that I usually do a lot of bad things, but I was startled by this, and I immediately yelled. This was an unexpected situation, and everyone panicked. Xu Qianer turned up the dagger at his waist with one hand, then ran to my side, and slashed when he took his turn.But my son's foot swung back and forth, but he missed the cut, and suddenly hit the stone on the side, sparks flew everywhere.Seeing how much strength Xu Qianer used, I yelled: "You fucking cut on time, don't cut my feet!" Xu Qianer also yelled: "You fucking don't move, or I'll cut it off from your thigh!" As he said that, he took the wheel again, but he didn't expect that the cut still missed. I yelled: "Change people, change people, this uncle doesn't like me, he wants to avenge himself." Xu Shaode on one side ran over to help, wanted to hold my leg, but unexpectedly Xu Shaode didn't stand still after he came over, and suddenly he sank, the entire stone corridor below collapsed, and he shrunk down.Normally he would not believe it when he was told to lose weight, but this time it was good, the floor was crushed by him. This is simply adding to the confusion, Yuan Yuanyuan rushed up to grab him, but she couldn't stand still, she staggered and bumped into the hand of Xu Shaode who was holding me. People were dragged down. Things happened so fast, that's why I was so flustered.Several people rolled into a ball, Xu Shaode fell into the bottom of the pit all of a sudden like a ball of meat, and fell heavily in the distance that I and others brought him.At that time, I felt a little bad. Before I stood up, I heard a series of "clicking" sounds coming up from under the brick layer. My face turned pale when I heard it. I am too familiar with this sound. This is the sound of large-scale longitudinal cracking of frozen stone materials when we were doing building stress tests. Before I could figure it out, there was a sudden shock around me, and the whole pit suddenly sank down, and many parts of the pit surface collapsed.Before everyone could react, they suddenly lost their balance and rolled around on the pit.Fortunately, the position we are in is still strong, at least it can last for a minute or two.I stretched my head and saw that the bottom of the collapsed place was pitch black, similar to the abyss under the beeswax bridge. If I fell, I would definitely die.I didn't expect that there are two floors here, and the upper and lower floors are so weak. The people who built it must have cut corners. I didn't expect this bad habit to start so early. Fan Li has been standing still, so he didn't fall, which is quite fine.He poked his head up to ask if we were all right.Xu Shaode replied that he said he had eaten lunch, so it seems that this kid was fooled.I was just about to ask Fan Li to get a rope down, but I found the image of a magnificent palace on this layer of ice.However, there is an abyss under the ice, where can I find the palace?I looked up, oh my god, this palace is actually hanging upside down in the sky.
