This clue was too crucial for Liu Wuxie, proving his previous guess.
However, Liu Wuxie did not dare to hold out too much hope. There were no traces of human beings stepping foot on this ice peak for many years. These stone steps were all left thousands of years ago.
He speeded up and continued to climb along the stone steps.
The ice peak is very high, about 10,000 meters. The higher you get to the top, the more obvious the aurora becomes, as if you can reach out and touch it.
Until it was dark, the three of them still had not climbed to the top, but the peak was already within reach.
When night came, the three of them dug an ice cave and could sit inside.
This is a mountain peak and is not suitable for setting up tents. It is safest to dig an ice cave.
The aurora at night is so beautiful, it seems to light up the entire starry sky.
"Look, there's a shooting star!"
A meteor fell from the sky, lighting up the entire sky, and happened to pass over this mountain peak.
The three of them followed the traces of the meteor and suddenly felt a building appear in front of them. It was a little blurry, but all three of them could see it clearly.
"Did you see it? I just saw a light on the top of the mountain."
Ji Qiu rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
When they climbed the mountain, it was getting dark and the view from the top of the mountain was not very clear.
The appearance of the meteor just now lit up half of the sky, allowing them to see some outlines of the top of the mountain.
"I saw some railings."
Miao Jianying said with certainty that what he saw was not lights, but a fence appearing in his sight.
Liu Wuxie said nothing, obviously he also saw it.
"I want to go up the mountain all night."
Without further ado, Liu Wuxie planned to climb the mountain overnight to avoid any danger to them.
Since there are buildings here, they are well preserved, and there are lights, there are probably people living on them.
"good!"
The two of them knew that Liu Wuxie was eager to save people, and even if it was a sea of ​​swords and fire, they would not hesitate to follow him.
Despite the fierce wind, they almost took three steps forward and two steps back, but they still did not give up.
On the top of the mountain, there is an open platform, surrounded by railings to prevent it from being blown to the bottom of the mountain by the strong wind.
"Xue'er, why are you out?"
Murong Yi stood at the railing and noticed footsteps behind her.
"Sister Murong, I am a little uneasy tonight."
Xu Lingxue held Murong Yi's arm and frowned slightly.
"Me too, I just came out for a walk."
Murong Yi also came out to get some air because she was feeling restless tonight. She didn't expect Xue'er to be like this too.
"Is something going to happen?"
The two of them had a bad feeling and felt uneasy at the same time. This was not normal.
"It's too cold outside, let's go back."
After standing for a few minutes, Murong Yi took Xu Lingxue back to the house. It was too cold outside, and their faces were all red from the cold.
At this moment, under the mountain peak, three figures were climbing up step by step like ants.
Liu Wuxie's hands were already covered in blood. When he encountered some particularly smooth places, he used his nails to dig a gap.
There must be other ways to go up this mountain, but they don't know it.
Miao Jianying and Ji Qiu followed behind, climbing step by step along the blood stains Liu Wuxie left.
Ji Qiu asked Liu Wuxie to take a rest, but no matter how he tried to persuade her, it was of no use.
When a hint of fish belly white appears in the eastern sky, the top of the mountain is already in sight.
There is still one last stretch before they can reach the top of the mountain.
"There is a slope over there, we can go up from here."
Miao Jianying pointed to the front left. There is a gentle slope and you can walk from this side.
The appearance on the top of the mountain,
The three of them basically saw a rough outline. It turned out to be a series of buildings, and the top of the mountain looked like a large plain, which had been flattened by someone's divine power.
Following the slope, the three of them successfully climbed to the top of the peak and stood on a platform.
"There are actually plants here."
Far away from the platform, there are several plants growing in the gaps. They are standing tall despite the biting cold wind.
"This is called Wenxuan grass. The colder the place, the easier it is to survive."
Ji Qiu explained that in the far north, there are not many places where you can find chat grass.
Because Hanxuan grass is an extremely precious elixir, it has been hollowed out for a long time.
"Half Moon Temple!"
Ji Qiu looked into the distance. From this platform, three big characters appeared directly in front of him.
The ice on the peak had long been cleared away, exposing gray-white rocks for them to walk on.
Quickly cross the platform and stand outside the gate of Banyue Temple.
The door knocker is a bit old, as if no one has touched it for hundreds of years.
Picking up the door knocker, Liu Wuxie gently clicked it a few times.
He was certain that there were people living here, not many of them.
Even a slight knock on the door sounds extra harsh on the silent mountain peak.
The knock on the door spread throughout the mountain. After waiting for a few minutes, Liu Wuxie felt several powerful auras and rushed towards this direction.
"Creak..."
The wooden door opened, and a little nun appeared. Her head was wrapped in gray cotton cloth, and she looked very delicate.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?"
The little nun was very angry that someone broke in here.
"We have no intention of disturbing the precious land. We came here just to look for two people, and we asked the young master to make it easier for us."
Liu Wuxie was very polite, and it was inherently impolite to intrude into other people's territory.
Therefore, Liu Wuxie is never stingy in terms of etiquette.
"There is no one you are looking for here, so you should leave quickly. If Master finds out, none of you will be able to leave alive."
The little nun was kind-hearted and asked them to leave quickly.
Master forbids any strangers to set foot here, especially men.
If they knew, they would be killed and thrown off the mountain.
"Little master, do you know the two people here?"
Of course, Liu Wuxie would not be scared away by her words. He took out the portraits of Xu Lingxue and Murong Yi from his arms and placed them in front of the little nun.
Looking at the woman in the portrait, the little nun was slightly startled. It was very vague, but Liu Wuxie caught it.
"I don't know him. There is no such person here. You should leave."
After the little nun finished speaking, she was going to close the door and let them leave quickly.
"Little Master, people say that my family is merciful. We have been traveling all night, and now we are very thirsty. It is not too much to let us go in and ask for a glass of water. We will leave after drinking."
Liu Wuxie put the scroll away. It was certain that this little nun knew them both.
Although she disguised herself very well, her eyes had already betrayed herself.
