Chapter 296 Kunlun Glacier, Nine-story Demon Tower
After leaving Ganggangyingzi, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi returned to the capital. This trip to the Guandong Fortress left them with indelible memories.
Not only did I dig out a big red zongzi, but I also ran into the legendary Black and White Impermanence. I felt that nothing I had experienced in the first half of my life was as exciting as these few days.
In the courtyard, Hu Bayi stared at the martial arts in front of him, lost in thought, and finally decided: practice!
According to Da Jin Ya, the pair of jade pendants could not be sold at a very good price. Although it was quite considerable for the two of them now, it would not be enough if they shared it.
Working so hard to earn just this little money, not to mention Fatty Wang, even Hu Bayi himself felt a little unwilling.
And this martial arts book is the only gain. It is impossible to sell it. A martial arts book that can really be practiced is a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation and is truly "valuable".
The fat guy is also thinking about practicing this technique, becoming a martial arts master, and doing good deeds!
As the protagonists of the world, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi can only be said to have good qualifications. Within a few days, they could vaguely feel a slight sense of energy.
But Fatty Wang was anxious, and with that little bit of energy, he could do nothing. He slammed the table, but there wasn't even a crack.
"Old Hu, is that guy trying to trick us?" Wang Kaixuan said dejectedly.
Hu Bayi finished his training and let out a long breath, "Fatty, you'd better be gentle with your words, because decades later, you might end up in someone else's hands!"
"And I can feel that this technique might really be extraordinary!"
"What's so special about it? Old Hu, tell me about it!" Fatty Wang suddenly became interested after hearing what Hu Bayi said.
"Does holding your breath for a long time count?"
"Hey, that's it?"
"I'll go to hell with him!"
Finally, if Hu Bayi hadn't forced the fat man to practice with him, Wang Kaixuan would probably have given up halfway. He really has a treasure trove but doesn't know it!
A few months later.
Just like in the original novel, after being introduced by Da Jin Ya, the two joined Professor Chen's Western Region cultural investigation team and met Shirley Yang.
Kunlun Glacier.
On the Kunlun Snow Mountain, the archaeological team walked with difficulty in the snow.
Everyone was wearing bulky thick winter clothes, hats and gloves, masks on their faces, their eyes were protected by glasses, they were wearing snow boots, holding trekking poles in their hands, carrying large backpacks on their backs, and moving forward in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The temperature on the snow-capped mountains is as low as dozens of degrees below zero, and even your breath will turn into frost. It is just like the winter in the Northeast, when a basin of hot water is poured out, it will freeze into ice chips when it floats in the sky.
At this time, Fatty Wang came over and whispered to Hu Bayi, "Hey, it seems that the bull nose didn't lie to us. We have been walking for such a long time, and we don't feel cold at all. We are even warm."
Hu Bayi gave the fat man a look: "Just understand it in your heart. If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here..."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut!"
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the crack of the ice cliff. They looked down and saw that the rift was bottomless and it was pitch black underground.
The wind here was also very strong. Not far away, there were a few large rocks, which were a natural shelter and could be used to fix ropes. After setting up the tent, everyone put their backpacks and luggage in the tent, took out a few ropes, fixed them on the rocks, and hung them down to the ice cliff rift. The ropes were specially made and very strong, and could fully bear the weight of several people.
After reaching the bottom, they walked a few hundred meters and entered an underground cave from a crack in the glacier. The cave extended all the way downward to an unknown place.
The depth of the cave was beyond imagination. After walking for several hours in the dark with the help of flashlights, the interior of the cave suddenly became clear, the cave hall became wider, and an underground river came into view.
Everyone crossed the river and went ashore. The temperature in the underground cave was relatively high. Although everyone was wet, they did not feel cold. After wringing the water out of their clothes, they continued to move forward.
After walking along a relatively long and narrow road, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
There is another huge cave hall here, with countless human and animal corpses piled on the ground, all of which have already decayed.
In the distance on both sides, there were two burial trenches hidden in the darkness. Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi had good eyesight and could see them clearly.
The most shocking thing is the pyramid-shaped wooden building in the distance. It was built with about thousands of huge trees and looks extremely shocking.
In Professor Chen's opinion, it is a miracle to be able to build such a magnificent building so deep underground.
There were countless faint blue lights dotted on the tower. Judging from the faint flashes, the base of the wooden tower was nearly two hundred meters wide and was built with rammed earth and stones. The tower body was constructed with thousand-year-old cypress wood and was divided into nine floors.
Each floor was filled with ragged, dried-up bones, including those of men, women, old and young, and every large tree was engraved with extremely ancient secret texts.
Not far away, Fengdu Taoist Lord and Rensheng Taoist Lord also appeared here.
"The boundless karmic fire on this Dapu ghost insect is quite interesting!" Fengdu Taoist exclaimed.
The Dapu ghost insect is a demon insect driven by the ancient Demon Kingdom. Dapu means demon insect. It is a strange-shaped transparent little ladybug, similar to the seven-spotted ladybug. Its whole body is transparent and slightly smaller than a fingernail. It is used in the tombs of the Demon Kingdom to protect corpses.
This ghost insect has two forms, the Infinite Karma Fire and the Naiqiong Divine Ice. These are two evil forces that can crush the souls of ordinary people. In addition to being able to affect living objects, they can also affect other objects.
Infinite Karma Fire is quite common. It is a kind of blue flame ladybug, whose whole body looks like red transparent crystal, and its wings are even more crystal clear. Through its transparent shell, you can vaguely see the translucent internal organs, and there seems to be a faint flame flowing in it.
It emits a blue flame. Once a person comes into contact with it, it will be impossible to extinguish the flame and will be burned to ashes in an instant. Its only weakness is water.
The entire body of Naiqiong Shenbing is silver-white, like a tiny sparkling ice crystal, which can instantly freeze anyone it touches into frost and then shatter into ice dust.
The benevolent and holy Taoist master captured a fire beetle, and then the fire beetle's body suddenly decomposed in his palm and turned into two objects, namely dark blue flames and silver dust ice chips.
Then he grasped them in his palms, closed his eyes and felt the power in them, then opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: "It is indeed interesting, I can send them to the endless purgatory in the netherworld of the Little Wild World!"
The two of them looked at the protagonist and his group, and while they were waiting for them to get the notebooks and start arguing, Fengdu Taoist Lord and Rensheng Taoist Lord looked at each other like foxes.
"Where are the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced?"
