Han Yiqin and his party have been trapped in the cave for almost a month, relying on eating one snow lotus petal every day to stay alive. However, this snow lotus is indeed magical. Several people ate up to one snow lotus petal every day, and they didn't feel anything at all.
Although they were hungry, everyone was in high spirits and began to slowly adapt to the severe cold on the snow-capped mountains.
At first, several people were bundled up tightly inside and out, but now they are all dressed more relaxedly.
"Yiqin, do you think we, who eat such magical treasures as snow lotus every day, will suddenly increase our skills for decades and become martial arts masters in the future?" Zeng Zonglin took off his thick down jacket.
Now, the clumsiness before is completely gone. Walking is much more flexible.
"You're still a master! Why don't you try to fly down from the top of the mountain? If you fly down, I will believe that you are really a martial arts master. But this snow lotus is a holy medicine and is good for the human body. This is for sure
It's true. If this snow lotus flower were not a holy medicine, we would have been frozen here long ago." Han Yiqin said with a smile.
Although the snow-capped mountains are shrouded in heavy fog, Han Yiqin and others have now figured out some rules. Every morning at six or seven o'clock, there will be a time when the fog is thinnest. At that time, it is easiest to find snow lotus flowers. Easily said.
, is actually relatively easy, and the fog is still very heavy. Before, you had to lie almost on the ground to see. At this time, you only need to squat down to see about half a meter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a few people hoarded more than a dozen snowdrops in the cave. The snowdrops they picked up did fall from the top of the mountain. When those snowdrops are about to wither, they are easily blown down by the wind.
However, most of them were blown away by the strong wind. They only picked up a very small part of them.
"Yiqin, I have an idea. Since we can't go down the mountain now, why don't we go to the top of the mountain again? There are acres of snowdrops there. We were in a hurry to get down because we were worried about freezing to death on the top of the mountain.
.But the situation is different now. We are not afraid of the cold at all now. We have stored so many snowdrops and divided them evenly. When we feel cold, just eat one petal. And, I am a little worried,
The number of snowdrops we can pick up every day actually depends on luck. If the snowdrops don't fall in front of us one day and the fog persists, we will starve to death here. The fog is so heavy that there will be no snowdrops at the foot of the mountain.
Maybe come to rescue us." Fan Kexin said.
Han Yiqin was still hesitant, and Fan Shaojie quickly said: "Isn't this too risky? It's so foggy now that I don't even dare to go down the mountain. How can I risk walking up Wangshan Mountain?"
"Idiot, it only takes half a day to go up the mountain and several days to go down. And there are not many steep places going up from here. The most dangerous thing on the top of the mountain is the low temperature. But the low temperature has no effect on us now. So, walking to the top of the mountain will only
It’s safer,” Fan Kexin said.
"Yes. What Ke Xin said makes sense. Going down the mountain, many places are very steep. If you are not careful, you may be shattered to pieces. Although we eat the holy medicine as food now, we are not immortal yet." Zeng Zonglin said.
Han Yiqin nodded: "Although it seems safe for us to wait here, it's not a problem to just rely on luck to pick up some snowdrops. We still have to take the initiative. I agree with Kexin's opinion. Let's go to the top of the mountain.
.”
"Since we only need to eat snowdrops to save our lives now, we can give up many items. It may be easier than before to pack lightly. You must bring the bag with you to hold the snowdrops later," Fan Kexin said.
"One day when the fog clears, we can all make a fortune just from these snow lotus flowers." Zeng Zonglin said with a smile.
"Are you stupid? Are you willing to sell such a good holy medicine?" Fan Kexin said.
"The holy medicine is good, but there are so many of us. We can pick up so many snowdrops just here. How many are there in total on the top of the mountain? Strangely, when we went to see them before, everyone only saw a dozen. We
How could you pick up so many?" Zeng Zonglin suddenly looked suspicious.
"Is it because there are more snow lotus flowers on the mountain?" Pan Shaojie said.
"I heard that the growth cycle of snow lotus is very long. How can these snow lotus grow so quickly?" Han Yiqin was very puzzled.
"Wouldn't you know if you go up and take a look?" Fan Kexin said with a smile.
The group of people packed up and walked to the top of the mountain. Although the fog was very heavy and it was much more difficult than the last time they came up, several of them traveled lightly, were not afraid of the cold, and were much more agile. The climbing process seemed
It's a lot easier than before.
Han Yiqin and his party were all very happy. Han Yiqin walked at the front, and the whole party was connected with a long rope. Even if one person lost his footing, the others could pull him back.
But Chang Xing, who was under the ice and snow on the top of the mountain, after the divine fetus was raised, and after more than a month of cultivation, the divine fetus has grown a lot. The divine fetus has developed very well, like a baby, and all its organs have been developed.
It has developed into shape and looks very cute, just like a miniature little Changxing.
Although Yang Shen has matured, Chang Xing's memory has not been recovered. He just instinctively wants to get out of the Taoist orifice. The sky seems to be attractive to Yang Shen. But every time Yang Shen wants to rush out, it seems that
It encountered a strong resistance, trapping Yang Shen in the Taoist orifice. Not only was Yang Shen not damaged by the impact again and again, but it became more pure and concise during the impact. It was like fine steel that had been tempered thousands of times.
Han Yiqin and his party came to the top of the mountain again and found that where the original snow lotus grew, the fog seemed to have become thinner, and the snow lotus released a bright white light in the heavy fog. It was simply a beacon in the darkness.
"It's so beautiful! If the fallen snowdrops are like these, it will be easy for us to find them," Fan Kexin said.
"Stop being nauseous and hurry up and pick the flowers. It would be a pity if they were blown away by a gust of wind." Zeng Zonglin rushed over impatiently, ready to pick the snow lotus.
But what surprised everyone was that not long after Zeng Zonglin stretched out his hand, it seemed to be blocked by some invisible barrier.
"Huh? That's weird. Why can't I touch the snow lotus?" Zeng Zonglin asked in confusion.
"There is something weird here, please be careful!" Han Yiqin quickly reminded.
Han Yiqin also walked to a snow lotus and stretched out his hand to the snow lotus. He also encountered the same situation as Zeng Zonglin.
Fan Kexin felt it was strange, but she still wanted to try it with her own hands. The strange thing was that Fan Kexin's hand touched the snowdrop without any hindrance and picked it easily.
"How can I take it off?" Fan Kexin asked puzzledly.
"You can try picking other ones," Han Yiqin said.
Fan Kexin tried another one, but this time she was not as lucky as last time and was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"I picked one too!" Pan Shaojie tried several times and finally picked a snow lotus.
Fan Kexin compared the snow lotus she picked with other flowers and finally discovered the clue.
"I know what's going on. The snowdrops that can be picked are very similar to the ones we picked up. They should be mature snowdrops. Those that are immature are protected." Fan Kexin said.
"Then let's take the snow lotus and compare the picking." Han Yiqin said.
Once you know the trick, picking is not difficult. A few people picked more than a dozen snowdrops at once, which was more than a few people picked in a month.
"It's strange, why do the snowdrops here grow so fast?" Fan Kexin walked to the ice block where she saw a person frozen inside. She touched the ice block with her hand and found that the ice block turned out to be
It's so soft that it feels like tofu instead of ice cubes.
"Come and take a look. What on earth is going on?" Fan Kexin felt a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Han Yiqin asked.
"The ice was very hard last time, but now it's soft. The snowdrops here are growing so fast. Could it be related to the person frozen here? Is this person not dead?" Fan Kexin asked
.
"How is that possible? It's all frozen in here. Not to mention it has been frozen into ice cubes for a long time. Even if you are frozen in there and holding your breath, you will be suffocated to death." Zeng Zonglin said.
"But how did this ice cube become like this?" Fan Kexin said.
Several people touched it and found that the ice here was indeed a bit strange. Not only did the huge ice block soften, but even the place where the snowdrops grew could be felt soft when stepped on.
"The four Donghai college students who climbed the snowy mountain have not returned yet, and the rescue work has not made any progress. There is an extremely rare long-term fog phenomenon on the snowy mountain. It is very dangerous whether it is going up the mountain for rescue or the expedition team going down the mountain.
.All walks of life are very concerned about the missing four Tunghai University students..."
Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing were sitting in the living room watching TV news. The TV screen showed the magnificent scene of snow-capped mountains shrouded in thick fog.
"Mom, the thick fog on this snow-capped mountain is very weird! It doesn't seem to be a natural phenomenon, but someone has arranged a formation on the mountain. Maybe my dad is practicing in seclusion there," Chang Qing said.
Wu Wanyi was shocked, what a heavy fog! She suddenly remembered that when they were jumping in line at Xianji Bridge, Chang Xing had used the fog to hide the Patriarch Temple. From this look, it seemed very likely that Chang Xing would retreat there.
"Mom, why don't we go take a look?" Chang Xin saw Wu Wanyi deep in thought and pushed Wu Wanyi.
"What are you looking at? You haven't seen the heavy fog on the mountain? And I don't know how low the temperature is on the snow-capped mountains. It must be very dangerous. If something happens to you and your father comes back, how can I report it to your father?" Wu Wanyi immediately objected.
Got Chang Qing’s suggestion.
"Okay, wake up, I knew you would say that." Chang Qing sighed.
"I'm warning you, Chang Qing! You are definitely not allowed to take risks in the snowy mountains. If you dare to sneak over there, come back and see how I deal with you. There is actually nothing strange about the fog on the snowy mountains. It may not be your father practicing there in seclusion.
. Even there, you may not be able to help if you go there, and it might even affect your father's cultivation." Wu Wanyi said.
"Don't worry. I won't sneak over there." Chang Qing knew that Wu Wanyi was worried.
Wu Wanyi returned to the room and sat on the bed blankly. In front of Chang Qing, she tried to pretend to be indifferent, but in fact she was more anxious than anyone else. She wished she could fly to the snowy mountains to see if Chang Xing was there.
Practice in seclusion.
Chang Qing knocked on the door. Wu Wanyi calmed down and said to the door: "Chang Xing, mom is asleep. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow. You should also go to bed early."
Chang Qing had actually known for a long time that Wu Wanyi secretly hid in the room and cried every time, so she said to the room: "Mom, don't worry. My dad will be fine. Maybe he will come back soon. But
, he is really a bastard. He left his wife and children behind and became as happy as a god."
"You brat! How can you say that about your dad? The death of your master was a big blow to him. Your dad used to devote himself to this family. Now it's time to pursue his dream. Besides, it's not your dad who prepared it for us.
With such a big family fortune, how can we live such a good life?" Wu Wanyi couldn't stand what Chang Qing said, she opened the door and stared at Chang Qing.
"You can't say a bad word about your husband. In fact, I just hope that he is an ordinary person. Then our family can be together every day. You don't have to work so hard. The heavy burden of the furniture factory falls entirely on your shoulders.
Others think our family is living a good life, but they don't know the pain our family is experiencing," Chang Qing said.
"Forget it, forget it, how can a child like you have so much resentment? Go and have a rest." Wu Wanyi said.
Early in the morning, Wu Xucheng rushed over and brought a sumptuous breakfast to Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing.
"Xucheng? If you came here early in the morning, you wouldn't just bring us breakfast, right?" Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"Sister, it seems that I have brought you food a lot of times, right? Why can't I come over and bring you breakfast?" Wu Xucheng was full of grievances.
"If something hadn't happened, you wouldn't have gotten up so early. Let's talk about it quickly." Wu Wanyi was very clear about the nature of her younger brother.
"The Queen Mother sent me to bring you a message to tell you and Chang Qing to go back for dinner in the evening." Wu Xucheng imitated the little eunuch on TV perfectly.
"The Queen Mother is causing trouble again? Do you know what's going on?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"How do I know? Do you think she would tell me this kind of thing in advance? Telling me doesn't mean telling you? She didn't even tell my wife," Wu Xucheng said helplessly.
"Mom, if we don't go, let's see how the old witch makes trouble!" Chang Qing said.
"If the old witch is so easy to deal with, why would your mother still have such a sad face?" Wu Xucheng did not feel rude at all to his nephew's words.
"You brat, that's my mother, your grandma, not an old witch! If you don't fight for three days, you'll go to bed and uncover the tiles. If I don't take care of you today, you'll become more and more shameless!" Wu Wanyi was about to get something. Chang Qing caught her.
I got some breakfast and ran outside: "Mom, I'm going to school!"
