Lin Mei and I walked very quickly, and we entered the Shechang Valley that evening. However, the Shechang Valley was no longer the Shechang Valley it was before. All the houses had been demolished, all the weeds had been eradicated, and all the big trees had been destroyed.

It was dug up by the roots, and there were huge deep pits everywhere on the ground.

There were no bones visible where Yizhuang was originally located, but there were a few piles of ashes. It seemed that Lu Chengshan and the others gathered the bones and burned them. Now the Snake Chang Valley has turned into an ordinary cliff rift valley without fog.

, there are no houses, and the former fierce ghost village has disappeared.

Lin Mei was very disappointed and depressed. She walked from the mouth of the valley to the bottom without saying a word. This is the place that carries all her memories. Now that her only memories have been erased, how can she not be sad?

The big locust tree at the entrance of Yizhuang was also dug down. The small hole I dug in the tree was facing downwards, and the soil in the small hole had fallen out. I can't be sure whether someone discovered the small hole or whether the big tree fell.

When I went down, the soil in the small hole was shaken out. In short, Lu Chengshan was already a little suspicious of me, so he "dropped in" to my house to have a look. However, Lu Chengshan was not sure that I had taken the things, so he did not make a big move.

I feel a little uneasy. I know very well the reason why a man is not guilty but possessing a treasure is a crime. The jade talisman and the treasure map may bring great disaster to me! If possible, it is best to move to other places, but these few days I

I don’t have much income every year, and the 50,000 yuan from the government subsidy has been almost spent (part of it is to honor the master). Now the economy is tight, where can I have the money to buy a house? Besides, no matter where he moves, with Lu Chengshan’s power and means, he still has no income.

It was so easy to find mine that it made me feel guilty to move.

"Shall we spend the night here?" I looked at Lin Mei.

Lin Mei nodded and put down her backpack. We started to collect firewood and make a fire, boil water and cook noodles. We scooped the noodles into the water and mixed them with the prepared sauce. It was quick, convenient and delicious.

After eating the noodles and washing the dishes, Lin Mei sat down next to me, leaning on my shoulder, and talked about some of the interesting things she did in Shechang Valley. In fact, they were digging out bird eggs, chasing wild boars, and pretending to be ghosts to scare people.

And so on. I responded silently, and secretly began to practice Yin Yang Jue. I always use all my free time to practice like this, because my time is very, very precious.

I don’t know how long it took, but I woke up from my practice state and found that Lin Mei had fallen asleep on my shoulder, so I helped her lay down gently, half held her in my arms with one hand, and then removed her from the bamboo basket.

A piece of clothing was pulled out and covered with her.

The weather is clear tonight, and most of the moon has reached its zenith. The moonlight shines through the leaves above the Shechang Valley, and sprinkles on Lin Mei's face, so that her calm and beautiful face emits a faint divine light. I see

I got a little crazy.

"well……"

I sighed softly. Master's predictions and Chen Xing were like a thorn in my heart. I had to think about it when I calmed down. I also considered Master's words. It is possible to have both light and dark, but I have to think about it.

How can I do this if I want to owe no one and be unfavorable to anyone? Lin Mei can accept Chen Xing, but Chen Xing cannot tolerate Lin Mei. I really don’t want to make my relationship so complicated. It’s much quieter than it is now.

OK!

Lin Mei had been sleeping soundly, and when she opened her eyes, it was already bright. She just smiled naturally, without any shyness, and did not even say thank you. To her, it was just like when we were together a few days ago.

Sleeping on the same bed is the same. I hugged her all night, and both legs and one arm were numb, but as long as I can let her sleep well, I am willing to suffer this kind of pain every day.

We ate something and continued walking to the top of the mountain. The top of Yunding Mountain was not easy to climb, and it was covered in clouds and fog, making the climb significantly more difficult, so I chose to explore the easier-to-reach cold cave first.

The cold cave is at the bottom of a not very high cliff on the north side of the main peak. The cave entrance is just a gap formed by three huge rocks. It is very inconspicuous, but it is constantly spewing out cold air. In the weather in July and August, standing at the cave entrance for a few minutes can

I feel cold all over. This kind of air-conditioning is even colder than the air-conditioning in air-conditioned rooms. Although the temperature is not very low, it makes people feel cold to the bones.

The entrance to the cave is small, and some places inside may be very narrow. The bamboo basket cannot be carried on the back. We put on sweaters and cotton clothes, and only brought necessary things such as ropes, daggers, batteries and flashlights. Shotguns, dry food, and bamboo baskets

The class was placed outside the cave.

After putting on thick clothes, I didn't feel cold when I first entered the cave, but the unique depression and quietness of the cave made me feel breathless. I was always worried that the stone walls on both sides would suddenly close together and crush me into a pulp. This is a

This natural feeling of fear cannot be experienced by anyone who has not personally entered a deep cave. In addition, there are a large number of condensed water droplets on the cave walls and thick moss underground. It is as if no one has ever entered it. It is very

Scary.

We can hold hands and walk as much as possible, which will increase the sense of security somewhat.

The caves are sloping all the way down, very irregular, and completely formed by nature. Some places are so narrow that you need to lean on your side to pass, some are so low that you need to lie on the ground and crawl through, and some are wide enough to accommodate a room.

living room.

After going deep into the cave, the unusual silence and darkness make people breathless. It is absolutely quiet here, without any sound of wind, insects or birds, so that it feels like my breathing and heartbeat are like thunder.

The darkness here is also absolute. Although I can still see things, everything seems to be made of pure black cloth. I can't see the details or see far. Lin Mei can't see anything at all.

We can only turn on the flashlight. After the flashlight is turned on, there is light, and we can see clearly without shining on the target, but this does not reduce the feeling of depression and fear.

I have never entered such a deep cave. Fortunately, Lin Mei was behind me, otherwise I might not be able to help but turn around and go back. At this point, I finally understand why many cave masters dare not explore in depth. Only the ability to endure is special.

Only those who are strong and have particularly good psychological quality dare to enter such a place alone. Master is obviously not such a person, and I am not particularly good at this aspect, but Lin Mei is more calm and calm than me.

As the depth of the cave increases, the temperature gets lower and lower, and I start to feel cold even when wearing cotton clothes. Maybe it’s still 3-5 degrees here, but because the yin is so heavy, it feels like it’s about to freeze. It’s really cold.

It's down to the bone marrow.

"You wait here, I'll go down and take a look..." I tried my best to speak softly, but the sound was still scary loud, and there was a scary echo.

"No, I want to go with you." Lin Mei's voice was very firm.

"It's very cold down there. Your constitution is not very good. I can regulate the Yang Qi in your body so that you are not afraid of the cold."

"I'm fine now and can hold on."

I couldn't resist her, so I had to let her follow me. After walking for a few minutes, I had already passed the place where Lao Lin had reached before. At that time, Lao Lin thought that it was impossible to explore this cave to the end. He had no internal strength and could not withstand Yin Qi, so he did not

Too deep.

In front of me is a fairly flat passage, less than one meter wide, with flat stone walls on both sides. Compared with other places, walking here is easy and the feeling is not so depressing. I speed up my pace a little. Unexpectedly,

At this moment, Xiaoxue suddenly spoke: "Be careful, there is a demon in front of you!"

I was startled and asked hurriedly: "Is there a monster in front of you?"

"Yes, there must be a monster. Monsters all emit their own aura and form an inviolable territory... This should be the aura of the snake demon."

I was a little nervous: "How deep is its cultivation? Can you defeat it?"

Xiaoxue hesitated: "It's hard to say. I don't think it is very powerful, but the problem is that I can't show its strength now."

I started to have a headache. It was inconvenient to move in such a cave. I couldn't escape if I was in danger, but I was unwilling to give up like this.

Xiaoxue said: "I feel that the aura of this snake demon is not very domineering, maybe not very fierce. If I go a little further, I will communicate with it and see if I can find a way out."

"Okay!" Of course I couldn't ask for it, Xiaoxue became more and more capable.

Seeing that I kept my posture without moving for a while, Lin Mei asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"There is danger ahead, please stay back."

Lin Mei did not move back, but moved closer, wanting to help me when I encountered danger.

I held the flashlight behind my back to prevent alerting the monster in front of me, and walked forward slowly. Before I walked far, I sensed some kind of dangerous aura coming from the front, and seemed to hear the sound of the giant thing sliding, so I stopped in a hurry. But in front of me, I felt something dangerous.

The creature had been alarmed and let out a scream. At the same time, the sense of crisis and oppression increased significantly.

We didn't dare to move because the cave had some turns and we couldn't see what was in front of us. The monster stopped moving, but the murderous intent and pressure it exuded still existed. It was obviously staring at this end of the cave, ready to pounce at any time. Look.

The missing monster made me even more nervous, and I even held my breath.

I sensed that Xiaoxue had already begun to communicate with the snake demon. Its mood was complicated and changed rapidly, so I had no way of knowing how the negotiation was progressing.

The snake demon suddenly swam forward, and its head appeared in front of me, as big as a washbasin! At this time, Xiaoxue looked very angry and angry. It must have been that the negotiation had failed.

Xiaoxue said anxiously: "It is not very advanced, less than five hundred years old, but it is very big. It has never seen the world while sitting in a well and looking at the sky. It thinks it is great and refuses to give way. Don't run away now..."

As he spoke, the giant snake's body was revealed to be four to five meters long. Its head was raised nearly as high as a person, and it was slightly retracted to make a pounce. The back of the body was even larger, and it was hidden in the darkness for an unknown length.

I didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that it would suddenly attack. I had never seen such a big snake, either in real life or on TV news. Such a big snake is enough to swallow a person in one bite. If it is angered,

No one can be faster than it in the rugged cave, and it will definitely end up swallowing it up.

The snake demon was also quite afraid of Xiaoxue's aura, so it just demonstrated and didn't move anymore. Only then did I see its appearance clearly: from its head, it looked like a python, with no fangs, its whole body was white, and its eyes were bright red.

It doesn't look particularly ferocious. If it were reduced to the size of a finger, it could even be said to be ice and snow cute. However, the aura it exudes is very strong, just like the domineering and coercive power naturally displayed by a king.

Pure white snakes are very rare. I have only seen it once in the newspaper. It was a newborn snake. It was not very white. It was said to be a mutant species. But the big white snake in front of me was as white as snow and as bright as silver. Its scales were as white as snow and as bright as silver.
