Faqiu pointed to the rift valley and said softly: "We're here."
At noon, when the sun is at its most dazzling, this is the most dangerous place in Kunlun Mountain. Without a lot of strength, it will be difficult to go very far.
As I got closer and closer to the rift valley, my heart beat inexplicably hard. It seemed to be a kind of extreme nervousness. My fiancée was in this valley.
The cotton-like goose-feather snow reflected a colorful screen of light above my head. At the edge of the rift valley, the snow was very deep. At its deepest point, it reached my neck.
I patted the snowflakes on the surface, and after walking for about twenty minutes, I could actually hear the sound of running water in front of me. After taking a few steps, a burst of hot air hit my face.
My sister Guo Jiayan's eyes widened, and she felt unbelievable from the bottom of her heart at the sight in front of her.
"Wow, how is this possible? It's so beautiful..."
I saw the snow melting into snow water on the edge of the rift valley and flowing down. Looking around, there are white waterfalls hanging all around the rift valley. Through the refraction of the sun, they are as beautiful as colorful brocade.
This rift valley looks small from a distance, but is also very huge up close. There is a huge oval island in the center of the valley bottom, surrounded by steaming underground hot springs. The island is surrounded by green forests.
Second Grandpa said calmly: "Let's go."
Faqiuzhi led us into a stone house on the rift valley. There were many knee-high water boots inside. We put on them again and walked down step by step from a stone staircase waterway extending into the bottom of the valley.
The further down I went, the beads of sweat started pouring out, so I finally had to take off my grandma's patched cotton-padded jacket, thinking to myself, why the hell is this place so hot?
I walked up to him, patted my hair mounds, and asked him, "Hey? Why is your house so hot?"
Faqiu Zhi also took off his cotton-padded jacket and said softly: "Down there is an extinct volcano. For tens of thousands of years, it has maintained a relatively constant temperature that is suitable for survival."
Third Grandpa said to me: "This has something to do with their Qilin bloodline. Their blood prefers hot environments."
At the bottom of the valley, the gauze-like water vapor gradually formed into a white mist. The boat was propped up by the hair mounds, and ripples appeared at the stern of the boat, and we went deep into it.
After walking along this waterway for three or four miles, I could hear the laughter of a group of girls playing in the water. My sister put her hand into the hot spring and said happily: "This water is really hot, the quality of the water is very fine, and it is very comfortable."
"
The third grandfather picked up the kettle, filled it up for a while, took a sip, looked at my sister, and said: "This water is rich in various minerals. It is a good thing to ward off diseases and relieve disasters. It is better than the earthen wells outside.
Water, I don’t know, is hundreds of times stronger.”
After walking for about ten miles, I was so hot that I could only wear a white shirt. I felt dizzy. After a while, I saw a green embankment with many big girls hanging clothes on it.
The style of the clothes is very unique, with some ethnic minority customs, and there are a few groups of playful children flying kites in the wind. The kites have whistles and make a swirling sound.
When the people on the shore saw us, they stopped what they were doing, as if they hadn't seen anyone outside for a long time, and looked straight at us.
Fa Qiu Zhi moored the boat on the shore. A young boy ran up from a distance, took the oar from Fa Qiu Zhi's hand, and shouted happily: "The second prince is home! The second prince is home!"
Faqiu touched his head with his fingers, and then everyone on the shore shouted: "The second prince has gone home! The second prince has gone home..."
On the tower on the island, someone also shouted: "The second prince is back..."
A rare smile appeared on Fa Qiu Zhi's face. Unexpectedly, the smile turned out to be pretty good-looking. My sister Guo Jiayan glanced at him unnaturally.
I saw that the young girls on the shore were all as beautiful as flowers and the moon, with slender limbs. Shangguan Zhusha was Shangguan Jielong’s biological sister. How beautiful would she be?
My face felt inexplicably hot all of a sudden, and the excited heartbeat before had jumped into my throat. I thought to myself, God, what am I doing? Why am I so nervous for no reason?
Faqiu looked at my face, obviously surprised, and then said to us: "Let's go, you have a good rest today, I will take you to see my father and mother tomorrow."
Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa said yes, so we followed Faqiu Zhi and walked into the streets of the Kunlun Ancient Clan.
The ethnic customs here are so distinct. Both men and women are very beautiful, with fair and pure skin, and their behavior is smooth and inexplicably elegant.
What surprised me the most about the architectural style here is that it actually has a bit of the ancient Su Jade Tower. The towering tower penetrates the fog barrier, and there are real jade embellishments in every corner. It is not only sturdy but also beautiful.
Although this place is far away from the outside world and seems very remote, the daily utensils here appear to be more advanced than the outside world. This is obviously another way of life in this world.
There is no place for commodity exchange here. It seems to be a form of communism. Everyone's face is unusually calm and peaceful.
With such an atmosphere, I felt very relaxed. Fa Qiuzhi led us through the streets. Many people passed us food and drinks with sweet smiles on their faces. It was my first time walking
Entering this world without fighting against the world.
We walked for about twenty minutes. Soon, not only me, but also my sister felt something was wrong. This island couldn't be so big, and Fa Qiuzhi kept walking forward.
My sister asked him: "Why is this place so much bigger than expected?"
She said calmly: "This is an illusion reflected by the snow hanging on the canyon. In addition to the open air, there are also stone houses in the mountain walls. What you see is just a corner."
My legs were so sore that I said to him, "Hey, Shangguan, why haven't you arrived yet?"
The second grandfather punched his waist with his fist and said: "We're almost there, we're almost there. I haven't been here for many years and it's still the same here. It hasn't changed at all. You can let go of all your defenses and feel comfortable."
Get some sleep."
Faqiuzhi looked back at the second grandfather and said, "She's out, you'd better go see her."
The second grandfather was startled and said in disbelief: "Oh! Yes, good! Good!"
When the third grandfather heard this, he glanced at my sister. My sister Guo Jiayan's eye circles immediately turned red, and she said to Faqiuzhi: "What about my mother? Where is she?"
Faqiu nodded and said, "Well, everything is fine."
I didn't understand what they were talking about for a while, so I looked at the second grandpa eagerly, and the second grandpa said: "It's your second grandma and third grandma..."
I rarely hear news about my second grandma and third grandma. As for my own grandma, I don’t even know what she looks like. When I was a child, I would get beaten by my father if I asked my grandpa. Since then, I haven’t dared to ask.
My mother only told me secretly that grandma died early.
Now my father is not here. Logically speaking, my grandma, second grandma, and third grandma should all be from the ancient Qilin tribe. They have long lifespans. Maybe they are still like girls in their twenties. How could my grandma possibly
Die early.
So, I pointed at Fa Qiu and asked, "Then... where is my grandma?"
As soon as this question came out, Fa Qiu Zhi stopped, and I suddenly bumped into his back. At the same time, the second grandfather and the third grandfather looked at me with fear.
