Chapter 106 Relic patterns reappearing in snowy mountains
"Ache——"
Jiang Bai, who was warming himself by the fire, sneezed heavily.
"Who is talking about me? Or do I have a cold?"
With this thought in mind, he quickly added a thick coat to himself.
It doesn't matter if you get nagged about, but it doesn't hurt if you catch a cold. Although I haven't gone up the mountain yet, just at the foot of the mountain, you can feel the feeling of winter.
He laid the bedding on the coffin he had condensed, and under the baking of the fire, even the cold stones were warm.
After the bedding had warmed up, he lay in it fully clothed and stared at the starry sky with his eyes open.
Looking at the starry sky at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is a completely different experience than in the mountains of Liyue. The white snow in the snow-capped mountains is very conspicuous even at night under the moonlight. In contrast, the stars far away in the universe are not so bright.
Jiang Bai changed into a comfortable position and lay in the coffin, looking at the countless stars in the sky, his thoughts a little scattered.
If he really comes from outside the world, then which star does he come from?
How did he come to this continent?
How long has it been since he came?
All kinds of questions are lingering in my mind, and no one can answer them.
After a long time, he pulled the coffin lid forward, blocking all light.
None of this is important. What's important is that it's time for him to sleep now.
He yawned, wrapped himself in a quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning, Jiang Bai, who had slept comfortably all night, kicked open the coffin lid and sat up from inside.
Although he was wearing clothes, he was still shivering from the cold air that suddenly penetrated into the coffin.
"It's so cold."
He quickly jumped out of the coffin and moved around to speed up the blood circulation in his body, so he was no longer so cold.
He briefly washed himself with the hot water that had been kept on the fire and ate some dry mola meat. He put on thicker cotton clothes and shoes, put on crampons and gloves, put out the fire and prepared to go up the mountain.
It's still early, the sun hasn't risen yet, but the surroundings are already exceptionally bright. Some birds that are not afraid of the cold are sitting on the branches, chirping and preening their feathers.
Most adventurers who travel to and from the snow-capped mountains take the main road in the direction of Mondstadt. The path that was opened here is unknown and has long been covered with snow because no one has walked on it for a long time.
Jiang Bai followed the rough outline of the road, using the soul-calling flag as a walking stick to explore the snow while walking slowly forward.
I don't know how long the snow has been covering it, but when you step down, you will find a deep pit.
The cold wind blowing from the mountains made the soul-calling flags rustle, with the words "Place of Purity" looming on it. The Sanqing bell on his waist jingled as he moved, and his boots crunched on the snow.
The sound sounded like a funeral song.
The snowy field seemed to be the only one left in the world, looking for the remains of the deceased and walking forward unswervingly.
Jiang Bai held the soul-calling flag in one hand and the compass in the other, adjusting the direction from time to time according to the direction pointed by the pointer.
Snow is not easy to walk on, especially the road that is covered by heavy snow and ice, and you can't see the specific road clearly. If you don't pay attention, what you step on is not a road, but a deep pit covered by heavy snow.
"Fortunately, I'm well prepared."
He shook the snow off his boots, readjusted his crampons, and expressed his foresight.
"No wonder the hall master doesn't want to come to the snow-capped mountains. The road is cold and difficult to walk. I really don't know how those adventurers who are keen to go to the snow-capped mountains persevere in such an environment. Or is it the road I take that is particularly difficult?
Walk?"
Jiang Bai thought about it seriously and felt that the latter was very likely.
He walked for so long without seeing a single person, a camp, or a fire, which meant that this road was not the right one.
He looked back and saw that he was the only footprint behind him, spreading all the way up alone.
Although the sun has already hung in the sky, the sunlight did not penetrate the thick clouds of the snow-capped mountains and could not drive away the chill.
Jiang Bai found a big stone, cleared away the snow on it, and sat on it to rest.
He took out the flask and took a sip of strong wine, rubbed his face which was slightly red from the cold, and looked up into the depths of the snow-capped mountains.
When you look at it from the outside, you don't think this snow mountain is very big, but when you are inside, you can no longer see the mountains and lakes in the distance. There is only white snow in your field of vision. What you can see when you look up is the deep clouds.
peak.
The pointer of the Four Directions Meridian pointed upward unswervingly like a raised finger. No matter which direction Jiang Bai changed, it always pointed to the top.
"That adventurer should have fulfilled his wish and climbed to the top of the mountain!"
If you can die after your wish is fulfilled, then your life will be considered complete.
After resting for a while, he stepped on the untrodden snow and continued to set off.
After walking up the mountain for a while, the road became wider and smoother, and he could even hear the gurgling sound of the stream.
When I walked over, I saw that it was a stream flowing down from the snow-capped mountains. The melted snow and ice flowed down from here and flowed into the great river of Liyue.
Jiang Bai squatted by the water and put his hand into the water. The water mixed with ice cubes was freezing cold. He was so cold that he hurriedly shook off the water stains on his hands.
"There should be a lot of streams and snow-capped mountains like this, right?"
Such a big snow-capped mountain can form countless rivers.
Walking up the stream, he saw many dilapidated buildings. It was impossible to tell what their original function was. Only broken stone walls and toppled stone pillars remained.
Only the bases of these stone pillars remain, but even the bases are carved with patterns, which are the crystallization of time and wisdom.
Jiang Bai walked over curiously, cleared away the ice and snow covering the stone pillars, and carefully observed the patterns on the stone pillars.
These patterns are very similar to those on the broken ruins of Guyun Pavilion, and even the composition of a specific symbol is exactly the same.
The more he looked, the more puzzled Jiang Bai became.
He has determined that the ruins of Guyun Pavilion come from the suppressed demon people down there. How come there are still the same architectural ruins far away in the snowy mountains?
Could it be said that the birthplace of those people was the Snow Mountain? It was only later that they moved to Guyun Pavilion, so Guyun Pavilion has similar architectural patterns?
Or do we mean that these patterns do not represent the demonic people who were suppressed by Guyun Pavilion, but represent a specific civilization and ethnic group?
There was too little information, and Jiang Bai couldn't figure it out. He put the problem aside for the time being and continued to move up.
The higher you go up, the more ruins of ancient buildings there are, and you can even see some small settlements composed of Qiuqiu people.
Because of the snowy mountain environment, these Qiuqiu people living in the snowy mountains have also purified the corresponding snowy mountain characteristics. The hair on their bodies has evolved to white, which can help them hide better in the snow.
