Chapter 84 Witnessing a miracle (Part 2)
It was freezing, but what was the point of freezing? The mountain peak was so slippery that no birds or even monkeys would go up there. No wonder the birds in the forest had the opportunity to get there!
But before I could finish my thought, I noticed something strange again. As the ice slowly solidified, the water level of the entire river was slowly dropping!
What is the reason for this? I stared at all this with my eyes wide open, unable to understand it, but I guess my fellow apprentice Chengzhen can solve some of the mysteries for me. After all, didn’t Uncle Wang use the geomantic array to destroy the secret cave of the Black Rock Miao Village? I’m afraid that no one knows this principle except for geomancers with ancient heritage.
I can’t understand it, but I can accept it, which is my current state!
“Chengyi, what, what, binoculars, take them out and look!” The temperature was even lower, and the river was accelerating the process of freezing and the process of the water level dropping.
I held my hand to my heart and knew that we would have to endure this cold for an hour. It had only been ten minutes since we started, and I was already stunned by the wonders of nature. Even the indescribable coldness was not so unbearable.
After Wu Laogui asked me to take out my binoculars, I would never miss it. I quickly took out my binoculars from my luggage and asked Wu Laogui, “Where should I look?”
Wu Lao Gui said, “Where else? At the foot of the mountain, at the foot of that mountain!”
What could be at the foot of that mountain? I looked up with my binoculars, but after a few seconds I found something different in the lens. It turned out that as the water surface gradually receded, a stalagmite that looked like it had experienced the ” vicissitudes of life” of the water flow slowly revealed its head!
In other words, there is a stone pillar hidden under the rapids?
I put down the binoculars, and Chengxin and Ruoxue couldn’t wait to take a look. Chengxin even picked up Xiaomao and gave it a look. The power of nature moved everyone, and even Xiaoxi and Xiaomao, who had been oppressed by the evil spirits in the cave and couldn’t breathe, were excited, forgetting the almost irresistible pressure that was almost irresistible to them.
However, after everyone had seen it, they were all puzzled. Was the water level lowered to reveal a stone pillar near the mountain peak? Even with the stone pillar, we couldn’t possibly climb up the bare, steel-like mountain peak.
And I can’t see anything on the mountain at all! Everything is shrouded in mist…
Before we could ask, the old devil Wu started to brag, shaking his head and saying, “You’ll see when you look down. If I reveal this miracle to you, you’ll blame me for being nosy.”
What is the reason for this? But at this time, Wu Laogui should also be proud of himself. We can only wait patiently to see what kind of a strange and spectacular picture the natural forces mobilized by this fairy tomb will show us in the end!
Another ten minutes passed, and the stone pillar finally came into full view, rising seven or eight meters above the water. In other words, the water level had dropped at least seven or eight meters. This conclusion was mind-boggling. How deep did the current have to be to reach the bottom?
But this is far from the end. The frozen river surface began to show us the amazing scene.
As the temperature dropped, the ice on both sides of the river grew faster and faster, until only a narrow river remained in the middle. The original flow of the river was incredibly fast, with a momentum like a thousand troops!
Then you can imagine how furious the water can become when the remaining terrain becomes narrower and narrower under the freezing conditions, as if an army of angry roaring soldiers is about to start an attack!
And the target is that one standing stone pillar!
My lips and tongue were dry. It was a miracle, a true miracle. Nature was performing a magic trick. I was about to guess what was going on!
But before I could make my guess come true, the rushing water crashed into the stone pillar with overwhelming force!
With a loud bang, the torrent hit the stone pillar, then instantly froze, and the rushing river left a small piece of ice with a slope on the stone pillar…
Then, to my breathless amazement, there was a series of loud booms, one after another, as the water crashed into the stone pillar and the ice that remained on the stone pillar… It was a tremendous visual impact!
Is it over? It is obviously not over!
As the river became narrower and narrower, the impact became more intense. The five-meter stone pillar was not enough to watch, and it was quickly overtaken. The water continued to flow up the slope and toward the mountain peak, leaving a small section of the magical “ice road” that nature had bestowed upon it each time!
That is the fastest and most bizarre way to build a road. The water is like a last, most violent, most glorious display of power before its death, crashing in one after another.
Under the mist and the light of the sun, the ice road is getting closer and closer to the peak!
Will it succeed? In such a dramatic scene, my breathing became short, and I almost wanted to shout “come on” for the surging water!
The rapidly falling temperature also urged the water to roar with its final fury!
With the last roar, we all felt the earth shake, and the ice road connecting the mountain and the water surface was finally formed, and the water surface was finally completely frozen!
But these were not the reasons for the tremors, and they were not the end. The tremors came from the mountain, which was rolling down countless rocks and earth. You were so fast that it was like the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting, and we who were standing at the entrance of the cave all chose to lie down!
It was only after a while that the situation calmed down. I discovered that the lower half of the mountain, which was originally covered with moss and some inexplicable plants, had become truly “smooth”! It turned out that its true appearance was really a stone pillar!
But Wu Laogui was already shouting excitedly: “The Immortal’s Path has appeared! Chengyi, binoculars, binoculars!”
This time, without Wu Laogui’s urging, I quickly raised the telescope, and then I saw a miracle!
Because the mountain peak was like a “dandy” covered in dust, and after shaking off the dust, we saw its true face. It turned out that what was hidden under the soil and rocks was a rough stone staircase winding up. Just one look made people feel weak in the legs. The staircase without a guardrail was truly a natural hazard!
But that’s not all. Under the lens of the telescope, there were even simple carvings on the entire Pillar Mountain. They were huge and mysterious, and I couldn’t see the whole picture at all. I could only recognize that I could see a piece of the dragon’s tail and the huge dragon scales!
Is this a pillar with a coiled dragon?
What’s more, it’s hard to breathe, because everything is so perfectly calculated. The ice road was made by nature, and the ice road naturally connects with the stairs!
Is this the tomb of the immortal, the tomb of the dragon? My shock had not yet ended when a voice came from above, not unkindly: “Chen Chengyi, haven’t you finished taking your demon soul yet? Do you want us to come down and find you?”
Oh, after being shocked, are they starting to give me trouble?
But I had expected this. The old Wu’s face changed again, but as I said, I had already thought of a response, so there was nothing to be alarmed about.
I shouted, “I have naturally obtained the demon souls. I have the four major demon souls in my hands. Now I am going down. You can do whatever you want.”
I deliberately didn’t explain too clearly, and I was arrogant and confident. The more I did this, the more I could delay our safety time. After all, they were ‘afraid of the mouse’ when it came to the four evil spirits, and no one wanted to give up this tomb of the immortals, which was full of longing. So I bet that they wouldn’t really turn against me before opening the tomb.
After I finished talking, I started to tie the rope around my body, and then I went to the cave of Silly Tiger to find a huge rock to secure our rope. We were going down the mountain.
In fact, it was more or less as I had judged. I went down so arrogantly, and these people really didn’t say much.
It was just a lively scene on the cliff. How could they let me have a chance to escape? So, as soon as I started to go down the cliff, it was like a bunch of fruits hanging on the cliff. People from both sides of the conflict also started to go down the cliff!
Looking at the mountain peak, I thought that things were actually much better than I had imagined. Even if a fight broke out, I would still have a slight advantage, if I had the speed on my side!
