The cloth bag was not big, but there were quite a lot of scattered things inside. There was cheese and meat jerky in an iron box. It had not been eaten for a long time, and a layer of white hair had grown on it, so Hong Chen had to throw it away; there was also some Western Liang.
The amount of silver used by the country is about thirty taels, which is actually quite a lot.
The money was enough to buy a lot of food and drink, but Hong Chen couldn't use it now; the last thing was a piece of leather wrapped in it. After opening it, he saw inside a round white jade pendant the size of a copper plate, strung with a black rope in the middle.
There are three words written on the leather - "Jade of Quiet Heart".
The jade pendant felt cool to the touch and was of excellent quality. Hong Chen handed it to Lei Feifeng as soon as he changed his hand: "You are always anxious and angry every day, so this is the most suitable thing for you to wear." Lei Feifeng firmly refused: "
I have to scold me when I feel unhappy. If you force me not to scold you, I feel uncomfortable. If you don’t wear it, I won’t wear it to my death.”
Hong Chen hung the jade pendant on his head and stuffed it into the lining. He suddenly felt a slight chill in his chest. He didn't know whether it was because the jade pendant really had a meditative effect or because his own psychology had undergone subtle changes after wearing it. Hong Chen felt much calmer.
, I was about to climb Kunlun Mountain, but I was still worried. I always thought that I would encounter trouble when I entered the mountain.
What should I do? After all, I have encountered too many obstacles in front of various figures and forces in the past, and I also have deep doubts about the Beihai Kunlun Sect. Now I no longer think about it, I just said to myself: "No matter how worried I am, when I get to the Beihai Kunlun Sect, people should accept me."
Should I still accept me, should I be expelled, or should I be expelled? Why do you think you have all these things?"
After packing their luggage, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng walked towards Kunlun Mountain together. The road was easy to walk at the beginning, and you could go up along the steps paved by the people on the mountain. But when you got to the next section, the steps were frozen into ice.
The snow was covering the ground and the boots would slip when he stepped on them. Fortunately, Hong Chen had brought ice ax ropes and spiked boots in advance. Although the journey was a bit slow, there was no danger of falling.
Beihai Kunlun Sect is said to be located on the top of Kunlun Mountain. This stone-step mountain road should have been paved by one of them, but it is not very well built. The road is steep and rugged. In addition, it is winter and the stone steps
There was nothing but snow and ice on the mountain, making it even more difficult to walk on. It took Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng a whole day to reach only the mountainside, and there was still a long way to go from the top of the mountain.
It was difficult to continue walking in the mountains at night, so Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng found a flat place and rested on the spot. After eating dried meat, they stuffed a few handfuls of snow into their mouths to quench their thirst, then wrapped their bodies in wolf skins and listened to the cold.
The wind whined and I gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when the sun rose, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng seized the time and continued on their way. When it was almost noon, Lei Feifeng suddenly pointed to a peak in the north and said: "Teacher, does it look like there is a group of houses there?
"Hong Chen followed Lei
Feifeng looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough he saw patches of black on top of the snow-capped peak. They didn't look like rocks, but buildings. He suddenly felt happy and said: "Work harder, hurry up."
Let’s go and try to get there before sunset!”
The two took a brief rest, ate and drank, and started walking in the direction where they found the building. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky and the snow on the mountains a layer of orange. Hong Hong, who had just climbed to the top of the northern peak,
Chen looked at the scene below and sighed in his heart: "Oh, this is what 'thousands of miles of clouds and thousands of mountains have dusk snow' look like. It's a pity that only I can see it."
Lei Feifeng pointed to the pair of closed black doors in front and said excitedly: "Teacher, we are finally here, haha, we have finally found the Beihai Kunlun Sect." Hong Chen was slightly confused - the doors were closed, and the courtyard was closed.
The tiles on the wall and the ground outside the gate are covered with snow. There are not even any footprints. Is there really anyone here?
The two of them walked through the snow to the front door. Lei Feifeng went up and knocked on the door, shouting: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Where are the people from the Beihai Kunlun Sect? Is this the Beihai Kunlun Sect?" There were many shouts at once.
There were many calls, but no one responded.
Hong Chen also stepped forward and said to Lei Feifeng: "Stop shouting. If there is someone, he should have come to open the door long ago." He stretched out his hand to push the door, only to find that the pair of black iron doors were extremely thick and difficult to push, so he used both hands
Each landed on a door. He used his inner strength and used his Herculean Palm to push the pair of iron doors open with a "buzz" sound.
A large piece of snow fell from the eaves of the door. Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng looked behind the door and saw a row of houses in the yard. They were all one-story bungalows, but the doors and windows of each house were closed.
The snow was heavy on the roof, and the snow in the yard was like a white blanket, not stained with black at all, and there was no sign of anyone living inside.
"this……"
Lei Feifeng opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time.
"Alas." Hong Chen sighed and said, "It seems that the people from the Beihai Kunlun Sect have left here."
Lei Feifeng knew how much the teacher expected from the Beihai Kunlun Sect, so she tugged on Hong Chen's sleeve and said: "Teacher, don't be discouraged. The Beihai Kunlun Sect is such a big place, and it's not that powerful at first glance.
The sect’s reputation as the ‘World Sword Sect’ is all based on bragging. I guess I received the news that you were coming, teacher, in advance, and I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I ran away in advance.”
"Just go in and take a look."
Although Hong Chen was disappointed, since he arrived, he had to check out the situation here. Is this the Beihai Kunlun Sect? If so, why is there no one there? Where did the people from the Beihai Kunlun Sect go?
When the master and apprentice walked into the yard, the first thing they saw was a vertical stone tablet covered with snow. Hong Chen reached out and brushed away the snow on it, only to see two words with a red background engraved on the gray stone tablet - "Qizong"
.
Lei Feifeng said: "What a fool, isn't Beihai Kunlun Sect the world's sword sect? What kind of thing is this air sect? I said it must be a swindler."
Hong Chen went to check out the conditions of those houses again. He first walked outside a bungalow, opened the door, and walked in. He saw that the room was simply furnished, with wooden beds, futons, and some pictures hanging on the walls.
There are human figures performing various movements, and red dots are dotted with red paint on the human figures, which should be at the standard acupuncture points. These pictures are connected together, which is the method of practicing Qigong.
But Hong Chen couldn't understand these things, so he left the room and pushed the door into another room. He saw that the furnishings in the two rooms were basically the same, with only wooden beds, futons, and pictures of practicing exercises. Going to other rooms,
It's basically the same. The bedding on the beds in these rooms are all folded and neat, with no dust at all, as if the people who lived here had just left.
However, there was little dust on the snow-capped mountains. Hong Chen estimated that these houses had been empty for at least a year or two. Walking further to the houses in the back, he finally found a building that was different from the other houses - it was a taller building.
It's a two-story pavilion, and I don't know what's inside.
