Chapter 037 Fog Lock Ancient City

Ever since we came out of the top of the Burial Dragon Pit and met up with Xu Qian and the others halfway down the road, the journey has been full of dangers. They say, "It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain." It seems that the old saying is true. Although we landed safely and had an adventure, relying on the dragon energy gushing out of this "line of sky" to survive, we were happy but also worried about the safety of Xu Qian and the others.

"Sister Qi, Ziyue, are you okay?" I helped Si Weiqi up and checked her injuries.

Si Weiqi waved her hand and said, "It's okay."

"I wonder how Xiaoqian and the others are doing?" Si Weiqi had the same worries as me.

"Our journey along the way has been full of ups and downs. Their situation will definitely not be any better than ours. Now I just ask my ancestors for their blessings and that everyone is safe."

Si Weiqi took out a blood-red round jade from her clothes with one hand. The edge was dotted with gold. The middle part of the jade looked like two small snakes biting each other's tails. She handed it to me and said, " Do you know why I said that the dragons will bring us out? It’s because of this, the blood jade is engraved with the dragons, they are the guardians here."

"It's not Sister Qi. If you knew earlier, why didn't you tell me? It made me worried all the way." After I put the jade away, I bowed to Jiao Chu's body on the ground. Maybe it was because of Si Weiqi's body. These words touched me, maybe it was because I was moved by the fact that Jiao Chu saved our lives. Anyway, I felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and I had all kinds of feelings.

"But there is one thing I don't know. Since this dragon is the patron saint, why did it attack us in the first place? Why was it killed by the dragon in the cloud? If this patron saint dies, what will happen here in the future? Isn't it..." Chen Ziyue asked doubtfully.

"Although Jiao Chu is a spiritual snake, it is just a snake after all. It guards in this deep mountain and has been the top predator in this mountain for thousands of years. It has no problem attacking us, and the reason why it is here Let us go at the critical moment, I think it must be attracted by the fruits on the Crimson Blood Vine. The Jiaochu is the overlord here, and no creature can compete with it, so as long as it doesn't eat us, we will follow it You will definitely be able to get out of the Crimson Blood Vine's cage. As for the death of the patron saint that you are worried about, don't worry, the dragons have been multiplying here for thousands of years and will not become extinct just because of the death of one dragon. "

Hearing this, I sighed, "It turns out that our ancestors have been familiar with the principle that all things are interdependent for thousands of years, and they have designed such an exquisite arrangement based on this."

"By the way, Sister Qi, you just said that this dragon energy comes from the dragon vein. Could it be that what we stand under our feet is a dragon vein?" Lin Kun opened his eyes wide, as if he thought there was something fishy about this matter.

"This is the dragon burial pit. It is a rare place where turtles sleep. It is full of dragon energy. However, this line of sky is very hidden. The place where the dragon energy overflows happens to be a blessing in disguise. After thinking about it, I'm afraid it's... The ancestors have already planned this. The growth trend of the crimson blood vine and the movement route of the dragon are unpredictable. However, the gate of life was left here. If it were not the fate of heaven and earth, it is really difficult to explain."

"Sister Qi, I think this place is still not a place to stay for a long time. To be on the safe side, let's get out quickly. Even if we have already gone down the mountain, there is still a long way to go from the bottom of the mountain!"

Si Weiqi nodded and said, "After the violent surge of dragon energy, the stratum will inevitably change. There is a possibility of landslide here. Let's get out quickly!"

Unexpectedly, just a few minutes after walking, the mountain started to shake, and the shaking frequency became faster and faster, and the collapse speed was much faster than I thought. I couldn't help but cursed secretly, "Fuck, this is too damn... That’s it!”

We rushed out with our heads in our hands, and the rocks above fell down. Even if our head was not smashed and blood flowed, it would be a catastrophe if this narrow passage was blocked by rocks. I didn't dare to neglect, and the three of us finally escaped from it after a lot of effort. When we came out of the rock gap, a long-lost sunlight shone down, which was dazzling and refreshing.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain not far away, several figures came into view. My eyes lit up and I said with a smile, "Sister Qi, look, it seems to be Sister Qian and the others."

"Great, they're fine!" Chen Ziyue turned around and saw that they were blocked by the rushing stream and were about to cross the river in the usual way.

The two groups of people finally meet again. It's really difficult to find a way out of mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future in another village.

However, as the river became more and more turbulent, the manpower brought by Ye Chongqing had already destroyed the bamboo raft we left behind on the way here. "It seems there is no other way!" Lin Kun took a deep breath, Said, "If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to go into the water!"

"No, it's okay for us to go into the water, but how can Mr. Ye do it!" Xu Qian objected.

"But we have to do it even if it doesn't work. We don't have time!" Just after I finished speaking, I heard a rumbling sound from the mountain behind me. The mountain cracked and cracked. A visible crack hung across the mountainside, and then it began to tilt. Landslides, a large number of mountain walls collapse, the huge destructive force, even if you stand in a relatively safe position, you can still feel the terrifying pressure.

Everyone looked at the broken mountain peak with lingering fear, "There's nothing to think about, let's get in the water!" After saying that, I took a sharp breath and dived into the water.

The icy cold hit my head instantly. After about a minute and a half, I couldn't hold it in anymore. My hands and feet were weak and I paddled ahead. I endured the biting discomfort of the ice water and swam forward with all my strength. In addition, Chen Ziyue behind me was exhausted at this time, so I was about to hold her, but the sole of my foot slipped and both of us were washed away by the current.

"Zi Yue!" The panic made me at a loss. Gradually, my consciousness began to blur. River water poured in from my nostrils and mouth. My mind went blank. My body became light and still in the water, as if my soul was about to leave the body.

"Lin Kun, Lin Kun, are you okay?"

There was a call in my ears. After hearing it, I jumped up immediately and saw that the person with the mouth was Chen Ziyue. I looked at the green and lush trees and a clear river around me, and looked at the embarrassed but embarrassed person. There were several people inside that were full of surprises. He jumped up excitedly and ran over to hug them.

"Great, you're fine!"

"Don't worry, you are lucky and you won't die!" I gasped and said, "Fortunately, the river is not very deep, otherwise I really don't know if I can survive."

"You, thanks to us, otherwise you would have gone to see King Yama a long time ago!" Xu Qian laughed.

After I cleaned up my appearance, Sister Fo went into the forest and brought back some game. Then she lit a bonfire to roast it and eat it. The smell of the meat made me greedy, as if I had never eaten it in several lifetimes. I just ate it. After chewing all the bones clean, he extinguished the fire.

Finally, we set foot on the return route. Finally, we looked back at the collapsed mountain. No one will ever know the weird and outrageous secrets at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Pit. We were full of hope when we came, but we were silent when we went back. We learned a lot during this trip.

After identifying the direction and walking for a long time, I finally saw the Zhongxie Ancient Village where I came from. Chen Ziyue screamed with excitement and ran over quickly. I was afraid that she would make a mistake, so I chased after her.

...

Return to the ancient city of Shaoxing.

A thick gray fog filled the earth, as if hiding the mystery of the changes in nature. The sky seems to be wrapped in a thick veil, and objects five meters away are hazy, looking vaguely visible or far away. Because the fog was so heavy, the car had to crawl slowly like a snail on the road.

Si Weiqi stood on the tower of the ancient city wall, overlooking the ancient city from here. In the distance are the streets and skyscrapers that are much higher than the city gates. As long as the traffic passing by here, it seems to have entered a historical corner, slowing down and shuttling inside and outside the city gate.

The heavy fog in the early morning locked up the ancient city. Between the inside and outside, it felt close at hand, but it always made people feel that it was out of reach. People are walking in the fog, and the distance is so hazy that they can't see the direction. The sky, gray and gloomy, seems to have become more intimate with the earth.

At a glance, thick fog avalanches from the mountain tops like snowdrifts, and rolls down like a waterfall from the recess between the two peaks. Even though you have a panoramic view of the ancient city, everything is like seeing flowers in a fog, all of them are illusions. The fog is like a pure veil hanging on the river, and the sailing ships are hung with red lights, which appear and disappear, like the eyes of an insomniac who barely opens his eyes.

"Sister Qi, Senior Su and the others are all ready. The blockade we arranged earlier can ensure that not a single bird can fly out from here." I walked up to the tower and stood next to Si Weiqi, the two of them faced the wind. Standing there, facing the ancient city surrounded by fog, and the undercurrent surging under the peace, I felt a sense of grandeur and pride that traveled through time and space.

The sky was filled with heavy fog, blocking out the sun. It was difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south, and in all directions. Suddenly, it felt as if there were only two of us left in the world.

"In the ancient city of Mist Lock, this competition has just begun." Si Weiqi said lightly.

"Yes, we were careless this time. Not only did we lose Professor Ye, but we also made the water muddy. Now I always feel that my eyes are like a heavy fog, and I can't distinguish anything."

What blocked the view was the fog in the sky. The tall buildings, the flood of vehicles, the crowded pedestrians... everything no longer exists, even the arms that swayed out when I walked disappeared in the confusion.

"However, no matter how heavy the fog is, there will always be a time when the clouds clear and the sun shines through."

The sky gradually turned white, but the fog became thicker. A thick mass of white mist rose up, covering the entire road. His eyes could only focus on a few steps away, and it was difficult to see what was ahead. Waves of mist came in as heavy as wool, covering the sun.

A mist rose over the Don. Moving, unfolding along the slopes of the white limestone peaks. It crawled into the cliff like a gray, headless green snake.
