I closed my eyes and adjusted my breath, truly calmed down, and began to sort out all the clues about Master Zeng and all the information about Yunding Mountain, and then I came to a surprising conclusion.

This place is a genuine underground magma outlet, but it is only a small outlet and the internal pressure is not very high. There is a Yin Qi spiritual vein in the belly of Yunding Mountain, which happens to pass nearby. A large amount of low-temperature Yin Qi spiritual energy neutralizes the temperature of the magma outlet.

, reaching a delicate balance, so the magma here is low in temperature and very stable.

If water is directly used to impact the magma, terrible explosions and vibrations will occur, and it will be impossible to stabilize. The Yin Qi spiritual vein is not water, its temperature is lower than water, and it can penetrate through earth and rock in a wide range. A large amount of Yin Qi will gradually reduce the pressure of the lava outlet.

Temperature can keep this area stable.

Cold caves and hot caves are equivalent to the skylights of Yin Qi spiritual veins and earth fire lava. Although only a little cold air and hot air leak out, the pressure inside does not accumulate, which is also the key to maintaining stability.

Lao Lin once speculated that the fog that appears all year round in Yunding Mountain is caused by the water vapor from distant rivers and rice fields being blocked by the mountain peaks and condensing when encountering cold or hot air. In fact, this statement is not accurate enough. I dare say that most of the causes of clouds and fog are

Because of the harmony between the Yin Qi spiritual veins and the lava heat in the heart of the mountain, the little cold air and hot air coming out of the cold caves and hot caves are not enough to cause large areas of clouds and fog.

There are changes in the sky, men and women are harmonious, the earth has a balance of cold and heat, and the principle of yin and yang repelling and harmonizing with each other is ubiquitous.

Understanding this truth, I saw hope. Since this is the intersection of Yin Qi spiritual veins and earth fire lava, there must be places where the temperature is particularly low. If I can find a place with a lower temperature across the valley, close to

If you have Yin Qi spiritual veins, you will not be burned to death.

The third senior brother of Shechang Valley once used the Yin Qi spiritual veins to practice. He could sense Master Zeng, which proved that Master Zeng was also near the Yin Qi spiritual veins. This principle is like one in the upper reaches of the river and the other in the lower reaches of the river.

So easy to communicate.

I don’t know why Master Zeng came here and why he entered a state of immortality, but he must be in the most important place of Yin Qi spiritual veins. The most important place is the harmony of Yin and Yang, so he must be nearby!

Master Zeng probably didn't come in along our road, so there is another way to get to this area. As long as we find Master Zeng, we can go out the way he came from!

I expressed my thoughts, and both Lin Mei and Xiaoxue agreed. However, when I said that I would go down to find the way in person, they both disagreed, because the temperature below can instantly cook people, and the rope will soon be damaged.

Burning out is really extremely dangerous.

I can't go down, so of course Xiaoxue has to take action. She is a spirit and can withstand high temperatures. As long as she is not close to the magma, she will be fine. Moreover, she can walk on air, which will make her much more efficient.

Xiaoxue immediately jumped off the cliff again and carefully explored every place. Before, she only roughly tested the temperature, thinking that the temperature below was very high, so she didn't explore in detail. There was no need to explore the side with the magma, Xiaoxue started from the opposite side.

The direction starts, but the temperature here is also very high, and living people cannot stay at all.

After turning half a circle, Xiaoxue suddenly cheered: "There is a ditch here. It feels very cool. Maybe you can hold on. I'll go to the front and have a look..."

Xiaoxue disappeared into the darkness and came back soon: "Sir, your guess is correct. It is much cooler over there, but there is a small section of this ditch that is still very hot for you. I don't know if you can get through."

I hurriedly asked: "What's the distance? How high is the temperature?"

"This... is about five feet long. I can't estimate the temperature accurately, but it should be hotter than boiling water. It is at the lowest part of the valley, and the road is not easy to walk on. There are downhill and uphill slopes."

The temperature is over 100 degrees, the distance is more than ten meters, and the road is not easy to walk on... If I am alone, I can adjust my spiritual energy as much as possible and wrap the surface of my body with spiritual energy, and the possibility of rushing through is quite high. But I will do my best to protect myself, and I will not care.

Lin Mei is sleeping with her, what should she do?

I looked at Lin Mei, who looked at me calmly and said, "I can get there."

I believed in her perseverance and courage, but this cannot be sustained by perseverance and courage. I held her hand tightly and said very seriously: "You must completely follow my arrangements!"

"Okay!" Lin Mei replied simply. She knew that I couldn't leave her, so any more nonsense would become hypocritical.

Xiaoxue sighed: "I didn't see any caves over there just now. There may not be a way to survive if I rush over there. Do you really want to take the risk?"

I said with certainty: "Yes! There is absolutely no chance here. We can only wait to die. If we rush over, we may have a chance to turn around."

Along the way, we didn't retrieve any of our ropes, only the last one was left. I tied the rope but didn't dare to hang it down completely, because the temperature below was too high and it might burn out quickly, so I could only lower it while lowering it.

Rope, I am in front and Lin Mei is behind.

Xiaoxue led the way, walking through the areas with the lowest temperature. Nothing happened all the way down, but the temperature got higher as we went down. Even if we walked in the area with the lowest temperature, it was a bit unbearable for us. Lin Mei’s sideburns and hair were a bit unbearable.

There are already signs of curling.

Before I reached the area Xiaoxue mentioned, I couldn't bear it anymore. My skin was burning like a flame. What I breathed into my lungs didn't feel like air, but more like fire. It burned from the nasal cavity to the lungs, and there was little oxygen.

It gets to the point where you need to breathe hard or you can't breathe smoothly at all, which leads to dizziness and nausea... It's like dancing in a red-hot pot!

Lin Mei could only rely on a little bit of negative aura that I sent to cool down, which should be more difficult than mine, but maybe her endurance is amazing, or maybe women are better able to withstand high temperatures and can still hold on.

I originally thought that the place we had to cross was only an ultra-high temperature area of ​​more than ten meters, but I didn't expect that it would be unbearable even before we reached that area. I was afraid that by the time we got there, we would be exhausted and where could we sprint? Wait one more second.

, I am one step closer to death. It is impossible to turn back now. I can only fight to buy time.

Fortunately, the terrain below has become gentle, so I don’t need to use ropes. I didn’t hesitate to carry Lin Mei on my back, use the circle method to release the Yin-type aura, wrap it around the two of us, and then run wildly - I had to

Only by holding her or carrying her can you protect her whole body.

Xiaoxue returned to my body and connected me with spiritual energy. Under the protection of the powerful yin spiritual energy, I felt much more comfortable on the surface of my body, but running with a person on my back consumed more oxygen. I couldn't breathe, and my chest felt like

to be torn apart.

Finally, I reached the area with the highest temperature at the bottom of the valley. I rushed over without stopping. At this time, I was already a little dazed, and my vision was dark. It was all supported by my will. If I stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, I might have collapsed.

I can't stand up anymore.

I don’t know if I rushed through the hottest area, because later I became numb, couldn’t feel anything, and my vision became blurry. Eventually my eyes became completely dark, and it felt like I was falling into a bottomless abyss, but this

This feeling was very short-lived. After a while, I felt sweet sweet spring pouring into my mouth, and there was a cool feeling on my face, chest, and arms. Then Lin Mei carried me on her back and ran quickly, and I could smell her intense passion.

The sound of breathing and the smell of burnt hair.

I could no longer concentrate on regulating my spiritual energy, but after I woke up, Xiaoxue's and my spiritual energy began to work, protecting Lin Mei and me again - this was Xiaoxue helping me control our spiritual energy.

"Don't worry, Master, we have passed..." I heard Xiaoxue's voice, and my mind relaxed, and then it became a little blurry, but I always relied on a subconscious or instinct to maintain the circle center method, and Xiaoxue's spiritual energy also kept

Injecting, protecting Lin Mei and me.

I'm not sure how much time passed. Lin Mei and I both fell to the ground. Then she dragged me hard, and my back rested on a cool place. My mind became clearer and clearer. It didn't take long for me to wake up completely and open my eyes.

Eye.

The night pearl emits soft white light in front of my eyes, and the dark red light emitted by the lava in the distance is still visible. The temperature is still very high, but slightly lower than on the top of the mountain. The stone wall behind reveals a hint of coolness. Although it is weak, it makes me

Feel extremely comfortable and safe.

I turned around and saw Lin Mei. She was also leaning against the stone wall and gasping for air. She looked very weak. Her hair was messy and curled, especially the tips of her hair, which were burnt, but there were no blisters on her face... Me and

Xiaoxue's spiritual energy protected both of our bodies. Lin Mei's hair was longer, and when she ran, it was thrown out of the protective layer of spiritual energy, so it was scorched.

"We...succeeded." She and I looked at each other, and my right hand held her left hand. It doesn't matter who saved whom, or who helped whom. What matters is that we came here.

Xiaoxue snorted: "I'm not trying to hit you, I'm coming here, but there is no exit here, not even a crack, and only this small area is cooler. It's still very hot not far away from both sides.

Also, I just spilled the last pot of water on you, and now there is no water to drink."

I didn't have the energy to say much, so I refuted her in my mind: "The Yin Qi in the earth veins in this place is very strong. The reason is that there is a cave or space not far from here, and the Yin Qi can easily circulate. Maybe it's just a thin stone wall."

…”

As I said that, I picked up a small stone and knocked it on the stone wall a few times. What came out was a solid sound, which seemed to laugh at my mistake. I stood up and knocked on a wider area, but

All the sounds coming out are real sounds. I still don’t give up. The sound of knocking is inaccurate. If the thickness of the stone wall is more than one meter, the sound will be solid. This place is a kind of volcanic rock that is not very hard. If only

It's one or two meters thick, so I can probably dig through it.

Of course, it is also possible that there is no cave behind the stone wall, just a small gap, but this is my only hope. Without this hope, I will collapse now. I asked Xiaoxue to hand me the hammer in the Qiankun Bag, and I

I picked up the hammer and hit the stone wall. When I hammered it down, gravel fell down. The stone wall was made of solidified lava, so it was indeed not too hard.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

After smashing more than a dozen hammers, I felt physically and mentally exhausted. I put down the hammer and leaned against the stone wall to catch my breath. At this time, the sound of breaking rocks came from inside the stone wall. At first, I thought it was an echo, but the sound became denser and louder.

Getting closer and closer, the sound was like a giant rock-breaking machine drilling a hole.
