"Your hometown should belong to the tropics. It is really a shame to seek refuge in such a cold place." I said.
"In order to protect Fengshi, we have to hide as far as possible in places they can't imagine."
We were walking on the frozen uninhabited glacier. The vast world seemed like a world of ice and snow, with crystal clear snowflakes like fairy tales scattered in our hair. Fortunately, the little ghost was clever and arranged snow clothes for everyone. I can't stand this extreme cold!
Looking from a distance, there is an ice pile deep in the endless glacier!
"You froze the sacred stone into the ice?" The hobbits were shocked when they saw it! Maybe this is a disrespectful behavior to them... I also don't think it's appropriate. Although the ice here is thick enough to drive a truck on it, I don't know when it will be washed away...
"No, come closer. There is a person on the ice pile. Do you see it? That's Uncle Caron."
Li Shi took a few steps forward, "Sure enough, there is someone! Him! He's not wearing any clothes! This...he's freezing to death!"
Hearing what Li Shi said, the group of people speeded up their steps, eager to see what happened.
When they reached the ice pile, everyone stopped moving forward, and no one dared to step forward to check the situation.
It was a piece of artificially polished ice, which had been frozen into the glacier below. It stood squarely on the empty river. There was a man sitting cross-legged on it, with nothing on him and his eyes closed. His skin seemed to be frozen together with those ice cubes. There were thin ice particles on his hair, eyelashes, and beard. Even the hair on his body was covered with ice flowers. Under the light at this time, His entire body reflected colorful light as if it were wrapped in diamonds.
"Uncle Karon..." Mewati looked worried and softly called the name of the person on the ice pile in the dialect of their island. But the man was completely frozen and didn't answer him...
"Uncle Karon...is he dead?" Mewati asked me. Xianmu, Li Shi and others around me all looked at me, waiting for me to tell them an answer.
"This... this is too weird. How could your uncle be alone in the middle of the river, not even wearing a single piece of clothing in such a cold weather, and sitting on a chair that looks like it was specially carved? On the ice pile, could it be..." Xianmu looked at the surrounding situation, but in the end she still did not tell what she thought was the worst outcome.
"I heard that people will feel very hot on the eve of freezing to death and unconsciously take off their clothes..." Li Shi said softly.
"No, your analysis is wrong. There is nothing around, and I didn't see his clothes." The thinnest boy in the Hobi tribe immediately stood up and refuted Li Shi's words.
"Zhang Xiyuan, what do you think?"
They discussed it for a while but got no result, so they turned to me and asked me again.
I calmed down and looked at the man's chest covered in ice and snow, "He's not dead, his heart is still beating, but very slowly... very slowly... just like an animal hibernating!"
Everyone was relieved to hear that he was not dead, but soon Mevati began to doubt, "But... Uncle Caron, why didn't he react at all? No matter how I called him, he didn't move at all?"
"You are wrong. He can feel a snowflake falling on the ground now, let alone you making such a big noise next to him. However, his consciousness has to slowly re-operate his body bit by bit. You can see By the time it arrived, he was covered in ice.”
"Then what should we do now? Should we just wait here? I feel like if we wait any longer, if your uncle doesn't wake up, I will freeze to death first..." Li Shi said with trembling lips.
I thought for a moment, took off my thickened snow suit, and put it on Uncle Mewati, "The wind stone is sitting under your uncle's butt. Let's do this. You can take Li Shi and the others first. Go to where your family lives and warm yourself up, I’ll be here to keep watch.”
"I...I'll wait with you..." As soon as Mewati heard the news about Feng Shi, her old habits relapsed.
"If you don't take them, I'm afraid they will be treated as intruders and killed before they get close to those houses. This place is deserted and no one else can find it. Of course, the outside world doesn't know what happened here. Don't you tell me that your family uses kitchen knives to defend themselves when they live here?"
Mewati was still whining, and I was a little displeased with Li Shi's pitiful look. "To tell you the truth, if I were really interested in any of your stones, you guys," I pointed at him and behind him. The Hobbit said, "None of you can do anything to me. The only reason I'm still here is because you need me."
While saying these words, I somehow managed to imitate Chi You's attitude when he was educating me. I have to say that his method worked very well. Mewati immediately followed Li Shi obediently. They went to the other side of the river.
I finally got a rare moment of peace. It has been noisy these days, so it is rare to have this moment of peace. I also sat cross-legged on the ice, enjoying the silence.
"Who are you?"
An ethereal voice sounded in my ears, and I opened my eyes. There was no one around, and I didn't sense any other chaotic magnetic fields. Looking at the man in a snow suit, I knew the source of the sound.
"You can already communicate consciously, which means you are not an ordinary person and have reached a certain level of cultivation."
"Don't take it for granted. When people are forced to a dead end, they will naturally have the courage to choose another path. I have heard what you just said. I am very curious about who you are. You look so young, but you actually have this kind of thing. Supernatural powers?”
"It's a long story. You just need to know that you and I have the same goal, which is to save mankind before that disaster comes!"
"I'm not as great as you. I just want to find strength from the roots of our family and use this power to rescue those kidnapped family members so that they can survive in this troubled world safely."
I think this person should be over half a hundred years old. He upholds this kind of thinking. It is not surprising that Mewati, who was influenced by him, would behave like that...
But I didn't refute him, because I knew that refutation was often useless, "I will help you and rescue those trapped in the undersea base."
"I...I" the man's voice gradually became inaudible. I looked up and saw that his fingers and feet were twitching slightly. It turned out that his consciousness had returned to his body.
I controlled the water element in his body and slowly accelerated the circulation, so that his body would recover faster.
"Uncle Karon!" Mevati in the distance looked at Karon's body shaking, calling his name and running across the ice, followed by Xianmu and two other people I had never seen before. The strange faces should be his family members who took refuge here.
They arrived just in time. Caron still had some difficulty in moving. Mevati was able to carry him back, while the others dragged the large piece of ice towards the two cabins.
Opening the door, a fire had been set up in the house. Li Shi sat down by the stove and took a nap. Mevati put Kalon next to the stove to warm him. The ice and snow on his body turned into water droplets as soon as he entered the house, covering him. My whole hair was wet.
"Uncle Caron, why did you sit on the glacier with the wind stone? It scared me to death!" Mevati had tears in her eyes, and Caron also shed tears. "I followed the guidance of the wind. Looking for the source of strength...you...you must have suffered a lot..."
Karon grabbed Mewati's hand, and all his nails were pulled out. It must be that the patrols used torture to extract the whereabouts of the wind stone...
"It was this one, Zhang Xiyuan, who rescued me from the undersea base!" Mewati pointed at me.
"I know, I just talked with this young man. He is not an ordinary person!" Caron looked at me with a smile.
Xianmu was guarding next to the big ice pile, eager to see the true appearance of the wind stone under the ice.
"Long time no see. You've grown taller...but lost weight..." Karon rubbed Mewati's hair, "Introduce me to your new friend!"
So, Mevati recounted everything to Caron after coming out of the underwater base. Caron nodded while listening, and looked at me with a lot more things in his eyes.
"Can you tell us now why you did that?"
Karon's eyes gleamed, "I discovered the secret on the wind stone! If according to you, your tribe's holy stone and our wind stone belong to the same stone, let me see your holy stone now, maybe I can too Find the secret up there!"
"What is the secret? I have also seen the wind stone. There are only cracks and some words on it. There is nothing else?" Mewati was a little confused. Even the Hobbits were confused. .
"That wind stone can talk!"
"What?" Xianmu was shocked, "Our tribe has studied the holy stones for many years and the prophecies on the holy stones, but... we have never heard that the holy stones can speak!"
"Of course, the Holy Stone will not spit out the truth so easily. It must be under a specific environment!"
"So... you meditate on the glacier? Is it to listen to the sound of the wind stone?" Mewati asked next.
"No, no, no, I have heard the voice of the wind stone, and I followed its instructions to meditate on the glacier!"
"What is the purpose of doing this?" Xianmu still didn't understand.
"It's to let the cold wind cleanse my muscles and change my marrow, and give me a Vajra body!" When Caron said this, his voice trembled with excitement. "If it weren't for the guidance of the wind stone, ordinary people would freeze to death in the ice and snow in less than two hours!"
