We are now on the ridge of a low mountain, and we can see the virgin forest we walked through when we came.

We stayed there for a while, and the whole Changbai Mountain was covered with whiteness. If you stare at the snow for a long time, you are prone to snow blindness. Chen Pi Asi couldn’t determine the direction, so we could only look while walking.

Because you can no longer ride a horse, you can only sit up with a horse-drawn snow rake.When I first rode a snow plow, I thought it was very interesting, just like pulling a dog sled. After a while, I don’t know whether it was because of the strong wind or the difficulty of moving on the plow. Same as perception.

Because it was a mountain road, the horse ran unsteadily. Because the fat man was too heavy, he rolled over and fell into the snow several times, which made us stop several times to wait for him.

After some twists and turns, we finally found the entrance, although they were all turned down.Looming in the snowdrift, there is a black, bucket-thick thing coiled around. Its ring-shaped body is full of scales, some are hidden in the snow, some are exposed outside the snow. At first glance, I thought it was a hibernating snake. , Look closely, it looks like a centipede.

The thing was stuck against the stone, motionless, it was not known whether it was dead or alive, its head and tail could not be seen, and its length was unknown.Chen Pi Asi said it was the sealing stone in the tomb passage.

Monk Hua pulled out a black wrist-thick iron chain from the dragon's mouth. Monk Hua pulled the iron chain hard, but the stone did not move. Chen Pi Asi also had a trace of doubt on his face. He shook his head and looked up. Above, the wind and snow were raging overhead, and it was already dark and almost night.

We planned to rest in place, and then we were looking for a way to get in. Suddenly, the fat man smelled the smell of hot springs, so we stopped what we were doing and prepared to see where there were hot springs. Near Dragonstone, the sulfur smell is obvious.

Zhang Qiling touched the dragon's head, looked behind the stone, put his hand on the dragon's head, pressed it, and said, "It's strange, the back of the dragon's head is empty."

Changbai Mountain is a potential active volcano. According to historical records, the last small-scale eruption should have been 1000 years ago. Although the volcano is now silent, the nearby geothermal heat is extremely rich. Due to the high temperature, there might be a steaming crack in the ground behind the Panlong Sealing Stone, and the smell of sulfur may come out.

This is undoubtedly good news for us. In such an environment, it is definitely more economical to have a stable heat source than to light a bonfire, but the huge black dragon seal stone is pressed on it, and there are at least a dozen of them by visual inspection. We don't have any mountain-digging equipment, so it's really difficult to turn it over.

The fat man is a man of action. He raised his arms and beckoned us to move the stone. Several people went up and tried to carry it twice.

The fat man was out of breath, and cursed: "No way, old man, I said earlier that our equipment is not good enough. Look at the current situation, it would be great to have some explosives."

Monk Hua said that if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. Our old man has crossed more bridges than you have traveled. It is right not to bring explosives. You say that we are now at the bottom of the valley, and the top of your head is covered with snow. Shake the snow off it, and bury it alive in one fell swoop.

The fat man had no words to refute. At this time, Wu Xie saw many stones of different sizes stuck on the lower edge of the Panlong Stone. He had an idea and said to them: "Maybe you don't need explosives. Let me do it."

Speaking of which, Wu Xie took out a masonry hammer from his luggage, walked to the side of the Panlong Sealing Stone, carefully inspected the several relatively large stones below, and then aimed at one of them and knocked it inside. Under the pressure of more than ten tons, I received a sideways hammer, and immediately cracked a crack, followed by a series of stone friction sounds from Carrara, and the Panlong Sealing Stone on it began to slide along the stone slope due to a sudden change in supporting force. .

We quickly retreated, the Panlong Sealing Stone slid down a few inches, and began to tilt again, but this stone was too heavy, and stopped after sliding a little bit, even so, we still saw the back of the Sealing Stone, A crack in the rock on the mountain was exposed.

The cracks in the rock are as wide as a head, and people can barely pass through.Looking at the edge of the cave entrance, it is in the shape of a torn rock formation, with no traces of artificial excavation, and bursts of sulfur smell come from inside.

The fat man turned on the flashlight, saw the words inside, but couldn't read clearly, and finally took off his coat and got in. Chen Pi Asi left a few people outside to guard, and we followed the fat man in.

The whole here is a crack in the rock that was cracked during the movement of the mountain. After entering, I found that the crack is a steep downward trend, and the inside is very dark.It looks extremely deep, probably leading to the inside of the mountain.

There is not much space at the opening of the gap, two people cannot stand side by side, and it is very difficult to walk inside the gap. The bottom is full of large stones with sharp edges and corners. The sulfur smell in the hole is very strong, and the temperature is at least [-] degrees. Even the stones are hot.

Along the way, there are characters engraved on the bottom of the stone wall, which are Jurchen characters, and it is impossible to know what it is written.After descending less than 100 meters, the smell of sulfur became stronger and stronger, and the rocks became darker and darker, and they all began to show the brilliance of glass, which is the trace of mica melted at high temperature.

Suddenly, the two people in the lead stopped and shone the flashlight. It turned out that the crack in front shrank suddenly, and the rocks overlapped, leaving only a very small gap to go down.

Wu Xie squatted down and used a flashlight to illuminate the inside. This was caused by the collapse of the gap. The gap inside was so small that it seemed that he had to crawl to get in.

Chen Pi Asi looked at the entrance of the cave and knew that he would not be able to climb in due to his physical strength. After discussing it, Wu Xie asked Monk Hua to accompany Chen Pi Asi to wait for them. want to do.Wu Xie, Fatty and Zhang Qiling went in to see what else was inside.

They took off their coats to reduce their size as much as possible. This time it was Zhang Qiling who led the way, and the three of them went down and squeezed into the gap bit by bit.

Nan Ji watched them gradually disappear from his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Chen Pi Ah Si with a smile, "You know me, right?" Nan Ji glanced at Chen Pi's expression, nothing changed, "You are surprised, you Do you think I shouldn't be here? And when you first saw me, you couldn't help but look at my face, especially my eyes. In your opinion, should I not be able to see? "

Nan Ji didn't miss the slight change in Chen Pi Asi's expression, he could see that he was pretending to be calm, "You also asked me about my relationship with Zhang Qiling, it seems that you know the Zhang family, but I don't remember seeing him So how did you know me?"

"You!" Chen Pi Asi waved his hand, signaling Monk Hua not to be impulsive, "I do know you, but you may not recognize me, after all, how many years have passed, and you have never seen me, but you You must have heard my voice, because you hadn't..."

Chen Pi Asi stopped in the middle of speaking, because Zhang Qiling came back, and they found a spacious enough place not far below, and there was a hot spring, where they could have a good rest.

Nan Ji looked at Chen Pi Asi's back, he was sure that he had never been to Changsha, the place where Old Nine Gates used to be, so how did Chen Pi Asi know himself?

After this series of changes, they were all exhausted and had no strength to speak, so they each found a comfortable place to lean down, Nan Ji looked at the side, thinking about Chen Pi A Si from left to right.

The snow on our bodies melted into water due to the temperature change, and the clothes and shoes began to become wet. We took off our clothes and steamed them on dry stones.Ye Cheng took out the compressed can and threw it into the hot spring water to overheat it for everyone.

Wu Xie and the others were looking at the murals, but they couldn't see anything special. The fat man suddenly clicked his tongue and began to pick off the murals with his nails.

Wu Xie asked him what happened. Although this thing is of no value, it is also a relic of the predecessors, and you can't destroy it.

The fat man said: "What nonsense are you talking about? My nails are worthless? I don't peel off ordinary things. Come and see for yourself. This mural has two layers!"

"Two floors?" Wu Xie'en said, frowning, what did he mean?

Everyone surrounded him again, and walked over to see what he was talking about. He let us look at his fingers, and saw that the red cinnabar material was scraped off, and then looked at the area in front of him. Sure enough, There is a piece of composition in the corner of the mural that is obviously different from the one on the side, and the things painted are also different, but this place is extremely inconspicuous, and if it weren't for the sharp eyes of the fat man, he would definitely not be able to see it.

This is obviously a situation caused by someone repainting a fresco and covering the original fresco.

The upper layer gradually peeled off due to exposure to the air, exposing the mural behind it, which is often the case in oil paintings.

Soon more than half of it was peeled off. This is a narrative mural.

This is a mural related to the Heavenly Palace. Wu Xie and the others continued to peel it off, and large pieces of the mural were peeled off. After a while, a colorful and majestic picture scroll gradually unfolded in front of us.

The surroundings are scary, and the wind lanterns have been raised to the side of the rock wall to strengthen the lighting. The dim light shines on the rocks, giving people an ancient and mysterious feeling.

The color of the mural is very bright, using a lot of blood-like red. Under the uncertain light source, it flashes the brilliance of glass, as if the whole rock is oozing blood. The mural hidden under another layer of paint can be preserved so well. Well, that's incredible.

However, what really surprised us was the content of the murals. It is difficult to describe in words what the murals are painted on. The murals are divided into two parts, which describe different things respectively. However, they are very complete when viewed together. Mei Lun Mei Fan.
