While Changsheng was squatting down for inspection, Datou and others followed him. Everyone formed a circle to block the wind and snow, and took a closer look.
The copper collar on the dog's neck was very conspicuous. Everyone noticed it immediately. Shi Xuanming was the first to speak, "This dog has an owner. If it dies here, it means that there are people living nearby. Ordinary people can't stay here." Unless the legendary Yu Ren lives here.”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shi Xuanming. Datou had been holding back his anger, "Earlier, I asked the prince if there were any living Yuren. You insisted on interrupting me and blamed me for asking endlessly. I It’s not like I’m just rambling, I’m asking very important questions.”
"I didn't say you were blabbering," Shi Xuanming explained, "it's just that the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, so we have to find a place to stay as soon as possible."
While the two were talking, Yu Yi had already knelt down to examine the dead dog carefully. "The collar is not the common brass nowadays, but bronze from ancient times. The dog's mouth and fur are white, which means it is very old and has no hair on its body." Due to external injuries, he must have died of old age. The eyes were not sunken or shriveled, the fur had not yet separated, and the time of death would not have been more than two months. When buried, the pit was not dug downwards, but it was laid flat on the ground, indicating that the owner was in a hurry when he buried it. "
Yu Yiben was a police officer in Dali Temple. Her strengths were in tracking down people and conducting autopsies. No one doubted her judgment. At this time, the wind and snow were getting heavier. They were sure that Yuren lived nearby, and everyone also He didn't linger near the body, simply buried the dead dog and moved on.
At this time, the wind and snow were much heavier than before. The strong wind carried snowflakes and covered our faces. We could not see clearly even the scenery two feet away, let alone two miles away. After walking for several miles with difficulty, there was still no discovery. Everyone could only The next best thing was not to find Wanren Mountain, but to find a shelter from the wind and snow. However, the area was very empty and there were no mounds or icebergs to hide from.
Just when Changsheng used his spiritual energy to sense the thickness of the ice under his feet, and tried to use his pure Yang spiritual energy to melt an ice cave from the ice sheet for everyone on his side to hide in and avoid the snow, he suddenly discovered that a black color appeared in front of him. Black is not common on a vast ice sheet. And the black was not just a black spot, but a long one.
As the distance shortened, Changsheng finally saw clearly that the black color turned out to be a black stone road. The stone road did not exist alone. While seeing the stone road clearly, everyone also saw the city gate and the city gate built of ice. The tall ice walls on both sides of the city gate and the black stone road are the passage into the city.
Everyone had magic talismans to protect themselves, and they didn't worry about anything weird on the black stone road. They went straight to the tower to take shelter from the wind and catch their breath.
Before everyone could clear away the snow on his cloaks and clothes, Changsheng discovered a black stone slab under the city tower. This stone slab was very similar to the stone slabs on the ground, except that this stone slab was made of a huge section. The animal spine is used as a support and stands at the bottom of the tower.
There were clearly words engraved on the stone slab. Changsheng wiped the snowflakes from his hair and eyebrows, stepped forward and took a closer look.
At this time, everyone also noticed the standing stone slab, and also discovered that there were writings engraved on it. Just when Datou subconsciously wanted to ask Changsheng what was engraved on the stone slab, they suddenly discovered that the writing on the stone slab was not Oracle Bones and Inscriptions. The bronze inscriptions are small seal scripts from the Qin and Han Dynasties, and I can roughly understand them.
After reading the words on the stone tablet, everyone looked at each other in confusion, because the stone tablet asked outsiders in an almost pleading tone to be noble and stop massacring and robbing them. It also said that although they were descendants of the Yu Clan, they had no transformation. With his ability, even if he kills them, he still won't get the spiritual feathers that can be used to weave feather clothes. The second half of the slate briefly introduced the situation of the city. All the doors in the city were ajar. They could go in and check at will. In one of the rooms, the Yuren also left dry food and food for them. As for The Yuren in the city had already hid out in advance. Of course, the Yuren didn't say that they took their families with them to hide out. They only said that they were hunting as a family and they didn't know when they would return.
"Why did you do this?" Da Tou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years." Shi Xuanming said.
Yang Kai answered, "Looking at their tone, it seems they have been bitten more than once."
Datou raised his head and looked at Changsheng, "Your Majesty, are we here for this Yuyi that they are talking about?"
Changsheng nodded, "Yu people are born with spiritual feathers. If they get feathers, they can ride on the wind and travel thousands of miles." '
"Hahaha, that's it," Datou said with a smile, "These guys were afraid of being plucked, so they ran away when the situation was bad."
The city gate was open, and everyone stood under the gate. The cold wind was still biting. After a brief pause, Chang Sheng turned around and went ahead. According to the location mentioned on the stone slab, he came to the house closest to the city gate. This was a stone The shape of the stone houses is different from that of Chinese-earth houses, more like the felt tents where herders live in the grasslands.
The floor of the stone house is covered with black slates. This black slate seems to have its own temperature. Although the interior of the stone house is not warm, it is not freezing. In addition to the bed covered with animal skins, there is a blue stone bed in the middle of the stone house. On the table, there were some dried meat and preserved fruits placed on the stone table, and there was actually a jar of wine and two cups.
There are two smaller stone houses on the left and right sides of the stone house. These two small houses are connected to the main house and have small doors for entry and exit. The house on the left without black slates is a warehouse, with a deer and a seal hanging inside. , the hut on the right is paved with black stone slabs and has a latrine, which is a clean place.
When Da Tou and Shi Xuanming opened the mud seal and tasted the wine, Yu Yi went to the warehouse on the left and said after a while, "Your Majesty."
After hearing Yu's words, Changsheng stood up and walked over. It was very cold in the warehouse, and the deer and seals were already frozen to death.
The prey were originally hung on the roof, but Yu Yi had already put them down. When Chang Sheng came in, Yu Yi pointed at the deer head and said, "Your Majesty, look at it."
Following what Yu Yi pointed out, Chang Sheng looked at the head of the dead deer and saw that both of the deer's eyes had been pierced.
"The arrow entered from the left eye and came out from the right eye. It didn't even damage the eye socket," Yu said before dragging the seal over again. "We have seen this kind of animal in the East China Sea in the early years. It is timid and alert. , he ran away when he saw someone, and the arrows fired by this person were able to hit his eyes, which shows that this person not only has the ability to use arrows, but also has very pure spiritual energy."
"What do you want to say?" Changsheng asked seriously.
"I want to say that the Yuren are not as weak and incompetent as they say. The ordinary purple energy cultivation is no match for them." Yu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Hey, Prince, Yu Yi, you two come back quickly. There is no firewood here, so we can't eat raw." Datou shouted from the big house.
Hearing Datou's shouting, the two left the warehouse and returned to the main room.
After taking off his cloak, Da Tou hurriedly handed over a glass of wine, "Your Majesty, take a sip of wine to drive away the cold."
Changsheng practiced the Hunyuan Divine Art, so he naturally did not need to use the smell of alcohol to expel the cold. However, out of curiosity, he took the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was very strong and spicy, even more domineering than the liquor in Yanbinlou.
Datou and others could naturally hear the conversation between Changsheng and Yu Yizhi in the hut. Datou said, "It doesn't matter whether they are powerful or not. The important thing is that they told us about the empty city plan and served us with good wine and food. The evil punches have stopped hitting the smiling faces, they are doing this, who has the nerve to make things difficult for them."
"We don't want to make things difficult for them," Yu Yi said, "but we have to be aware that there is wind and snow covering the city. We can't see the whole city clearly at the moment. We can only see the size of the city wall and the nearby houses. The Yu clan should There are also many tribesmen who are not afraid of ordinary opponents at all, so there is no need to be polite and run away."
"What kind of wind are they looking for?" Changsheng asked, "How do they know that their opponents will come? How do they know that they can't beat the people who come?"
Everyone was eating, drinking and resting, but when they heard Chang Sheng's words, everyone stopped at the same time, frowning and thinking quickly.
After the silence, Datou spoke first, "They probably don't have the ability to predict the future. You see, they only prepared two cups for us. If they knew we were coming, they would have prepared five cups."
"Of course they can't predict the future." Changsheng shook his head.
"Have those people who obtained the magic talisman been here before?" Yang Kai asked.
Changsheng nodded, "This is not the first time that the talisman has been born. People who have obtained the talisman before may have come here and massacred them."
"Your Majesty, I still don't quite understand what you mean." Datou said.
Changsheng said, "What I mean is that although they are far away in the Arctic Icefield, they know that the magic talisman has been born again. With the lessons learned from the past, they will hide out in advance. It is not yet certain how they passed down what happened back then. It is possible It is passed down from generation to generation, and it is possible that some people who experienced what happened back then are still alive today.”
Changsheng paused briefly before speaking, and then said again, "If it is the latter, it is necessary to meet these people. They are likely to know the specific details and detailed processes of the birth of the previous spiritual talismans."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, everyone nodded, and Yang Kai said, "Learn from the past and be a guide for future events. If you can know the specific situations of the previous times, you can learn more and take fewer risks."
"That makes sense," Datou nodded, "but they ran away a long time ago and probably won't be back for a while. We can't keep waiting here."
"Yes," Shi Xuanming said, "Yu Yi's right-eye skills cannot be used even if they are hidden here. Let's leave today. If we want to come back tomorrow, we will have to make another trip."
Changsheng said, "After all, this is the place where they have lived and thrived for generations. I feel that they cannot leave with peace of mind. It is very likely that they will leave someone to spy on them secretly."
"You mean there's someone in the city?" Big Head asked.
"It's possible," Changsheng nodded, "When I entered the city just now, I vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a tall iceberg in the city. If nothing else, the city should be built around the mountain. It occupies a large area and has many places to hide people. Duo, let's take a rest first, wait until the wind and snow stop, and inspect the details of the city before making any calculations..."
