The weather on the plateau changed at any time. As everyone was walking, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky, and then a cold wind blew. A heavy rain was inevitable.
Upon seeing this, Master Kong Kong asked everyone to set up tents and rest.
When everyone was setting up their tents, the rain started to fall.
The rain was so heavy that it pounded the tent. Everyone talking in the tent could not hear clearly, so they had to eat some dry food and then meditate.
It seems almost impossible to get rid of Paju Gebu and the others. What they want is the Great Netherworld Sutra, so naturally they will not attack everyone. What's more, with Lu Bucai here, Paju Gebu may not be able to defeat everyone, and everyone will also We can only take one step at a time.
The rain gradually subsided, but the road was slippery. It was already time. Lingyazi came to the tent where Master Xuyun, Yi'er and Xin'er lived, and asked Master Xuyun for Yuntong fingering. Master Xuyun asked her to do it. After he clicked a few of them, he said: "The internal power of Yuntong's fingering does not need to be specially practiced. How strong your internal power is at ordinary times will be how powerful your fingering is. If you drink the blood of Yayuan and gain twenty years of skill out of thin air, as long as you Once you master the fingering moves, you can defeat most people in the arena."
"Senior Sister Lingya Zizi, how did you drink Yayuan's blood? Can we meet Yayuan?" Xin'er asked with her big eyes flashing.
Lingyazi recounted the story of how he, Zhu Yu, and Lan Ling'er accidentally encountered Ya Yuan in the Wudang Mountains and drank Ya Yuan's blood. He said, "I heard that this kind of animal is very rare. It is rare to find it. You can't rely on it when practicing martial arts." To deal with this kind of chance, you have to practice the basic skills diligently."
"I heard that the leader of the Qingcheng faction, Ya Shanzi, has arrived outside the Great Wall. Is this the case?" Master Xuyun asked.
"For many years, my sect has sent people out every year to inquire about Master's whereabouts. We have indeed heard news that he left the fortress, but we can't confirm it. Last year, when we went out to look for Master's disciples, we also heard that Master was trapped in Kunlun Mountain. , this time, it is just a confirmation." Lingyazi said.
Master Xuyun sighed and said: "We are all old, and the Central Plains martial arts community will still rely on you to support us in the future. Therefore, everyone must practice martial arts well while you are young."
At this moment, the rain stopped and it was already Unitary Time. Master Kongkong asked everyone to prepare dinner and rest on the spot, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, we can reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain, cross the Kunlun Mountain, and reach the Altyn Mountains in more than ten days. "
"The situation in Kunlun Mountain is complicated. Everyone must be careful when crossing the mountain to avoid being plotted by evil people." Zhang Lingtian reminded everyone.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the master started to head towards Kunlun Mountain along the path on the plateau. The sky cleared yesterday afternoon and it stopped raining. The road had become hard and the walking went smoothly.
By the afternoon, a huge mountain appeared in front of everyone. There was a little green in the lower part, and the gray exposed mountain was above. Above that, there was white ice and snow that accounted for one-third of the mountain.
"That's Kunlun Mountain. In another hour, we can reach the foot of the mountain." Master Kongkong said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.
"This is the biggest mountain I have ever seen." Lan Ling'er sighed.
"The Himalayas in Tibet are higher than the Kunlun Mountains, but there is nothing but ice and snow on the mountains." Lu Bucai said.
"Master Bucai, have you been to the Himalayas? I heard Master Kongshi say that the Himalayas are the highest mountains in the world, but they are very far away from the Central Plains." Zhu Yu asked.
"Actually, the Gedan sect where Lama Phaju Gob Yigan belongs is only a few hundred miles away from the Himalayas." Zhang Lingtian said.
"I heard that in the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain, there is no vegetation, and animals and people can't get out if they go in, but this is true." Lingshanzi has never been to Kunlun Mountain, but he has heard many legends about Kunlun Mountain from his master.
"I know something about this." Master Kongkong said to Lingshanzi.
"Is there such a thing? Where did you start talking about this?" Hearing this, Lan Tian asked strangely.
"Actually, this is not surprising at all. Just like miasma often exists in the southern forests, in the Kunlun Mountains, poisonous gases from underground will also rise and gather in low-lying places. If people and animals enter such a place, they will It will be poisoned, so you need to be very cautious when walking in the Kunlun Mountains. It is better to take more detours on the ridge than to go to low places with no ventilation, especially lakes without water outlets are the most dangerous places." Master Kongkong said .
Everyone was talking and walking forward, and before they knew it, they came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Although Kunlun Mountain looked uninhabited and desolate, everyone discovered that there was a path leading up to the mountain, so everyone started to go up the mountain along the path.
Under the leadership of Master Kongkong, the experts walked on the mountain for almost an hour, crossing the area where green grass and low plants grew, and arrived at the gray area covered with stones, loose soil and sand.
The path under your feet is still extending forward, but the sandy soil on the road is soft. If you step on it, it will sink an inch, making it very difficult to walk.
When everyone, led by Master Kongkong, climbed over a ridge, something unimaginable appeared in front of them, a huge palace.
Visually, the palace is more than a thousand feet away from everyone. It is on the mountainside opposite the mountain col. It seems to be dozens of feet wide and more than ten feet high. Looking from a distance, the walls of the palace are mottled, as if no one has lived there for many years. The road continues to the direction of the palace.
"This is a Tibetan Buddhist palace. It is said to have a history of more than 600 years. In the past hundred years, the Central Plains region has been fighting for years, and exchanges with the Western Regions and Tibet have decreased. This place has become inaccessible, so it was abandoned." Kongkong said the master.
"Tonight, we happened to be resting in the palace." Seeing that everyone was a little tired, Master Xuyun said.
"That's exactly what I planned. It's just that the mountains here are complex and you need to be more prepared when you spend the night in the palace." Master Kongkong said.
When everyone carefully walked into the palace, they found that the palace was very wide, with a main hall on the front. There were three large houses around the main hall. Zhu Yu and Lan Tian looked around and found that every house was empty. The only thing visible was In the main hall, there are several stone stoves and simple fire enclosures surrounded by stones.
On the walls of the main hall, there are colorful Buddhist pictures. On one side, there is the base of the Buddhist niche, but the Buddha statue has long been missing.
Master Xuyun knelt down and bowed several times in front of the Buddhist niche, and silently recited sutras for a while. Then she turned around and said, "Let us act according to the previous division of labor. There is no need to set up a tent in the temple. Ling Linzi, Luo Lin, Fo'er, you three Go pick up some firewood, Yi'er, Xin'er, you two come with me to clean the main hall." After Master Xuyun finished speaking, she went out of the main hall to get some branches and began to clean the main hall.
Zhu Yu, Ling Shanzi and Lan Tian walked out of the main hall. The three of them looked around for a while and found that there was a spring flowing down from the mountain in the mountain cave. The forest in the cave was densely covered. If there were wild animals, they would only hide in the trees. So they all agreed. Follow the path down to the cave to look for animals that can satisfy your hunger.
After the three of them descended to the bottom of the cave, they walked up the stream. Sure enough, after walking less than a hundred feet, they found a bear weighing several hundred pounds drinking water by the river. Zhu Yu rushed up and beat the bear to death with one palm.
The three of them used the river water to disembowel the bear, took out the bear meat, cut off wooden sticks, threaded it on, and carried it back to the main hall.
When the rice was cooked, the bear meat was roasted and everyone was full and full, it was already dark.
Everyone has been walking for more than twenty days since they left Zhongnan Mountain. In addition to staying at Old Man Yang's house, they have always set up tents and slept in the wilderness. Today, it is rare to be able to rest in such a sheltered place from the wind and cold, so, They were all a little excited and gathered around the fire in the main hall, refusing to go to sleep.
"Master Kongkong, you have been to Kunlun Mountain twice and have seen a lot. Please tell us what legends there are about Kunlun Mountain." Lan Ling'er asked Master Kongkong.
At this time, Master Kongkong, like everyone else, was sitting cross-legged next to the fire. His already rosy face looked even more energetic under the firelight. His eyes were slightly closed, and the peripheral vision of his eyes was staring at the beating heart. Huo Miao said: "There are too many legends about Kunlun Mountain. There are legends about mythical beasts and stories about practitioners. Lan Ling'er, what do you want to hear?"
"Master, please tell me the story of a practitioner first!" Lan Ling'er looked at Master Kongkong with longing on his face.
