Chapter 391: Changbai Mountain Ice Burial, a new entrant
Shunzi took everyone to the Xiaosheng Mountain Pass in the other direction.
Soon, we entered a world of white, and what we saw was endless snow and rare bare rocks and ice cones.
Changbai Mountain may be the only snow mountain in the world that you can walk up.
Compared with the glaciers in Kunlun Mountains, the environment here is much better. There are no huge ice caps with cracks, and you don't have to worry about sudden breaks under your feet.
But the glaciers in Changbai Mountain are also typical ancient glaciers, with poor mountain continuity and glacial landforms, mortar caves, giant cirques, and bottomless ice wells.
Often when walking, there is no way ahead, and there is a cliff with a height of 100 meters. You have to go around the edge or lie on your stomach to get across. The walk is also extremely thrilling.
It didn't seem like the distance was very far, but after walking for a full day, it was completely dark before we reached the pass of the Little Holy Mountain.
The weather is getting colder here.
Everyone knows how to tremble when they are angry.
At this altitude, it is unlikely to have hot springs.
After everyone set up camp, Lin Yi had nothing to do and wandered around.
See if there are any ancient ice burials nearby.
According to Shunzi, ice burial was popular among the villagers in this ancient mountain. In the early days of liberation, people were still buried on this ice cliff, so now some elderly people sometimes come here to pay their respects.
The glaciers here are getting thicker year by year, so if you look at the innermost corpses, those barely visible dots are probably thousands of years old, while the outermost ones are just a few decades old.
Of course, ice burial is not very popular in China.
However, before traveling through time, Lin Yi had heard about the method of ice burial.
This method involves placing the remains of the deceased in liquid nitrogen for processing.
For nitrogen to enter a liquid state, it needs a low temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius, so a liquid nitrogen environment can create an extremely low temperature environment.
When soaked at such low temperatures, organic tissues will quickly become dehydrated, and by using ultrasonic waves, the remains will be powdered into ashes.
This burial method sounds like a horror story.
Good people turn into ashes immediately.
Lao Hu and Fatty were also very curious about ice burial, so they followed Ji Yi.
The three of them had strong legs and walked for less than half an hour.
Arriving at the top of an ice valley, I saw many densely packed black shadows huddled in the ice at the bottom of the valley.
Some can clearly see the shape of a person, while others only have small black spots left. There are even some traces of sacrifices around the ice valley.
These corpses are all under the ice, and it takes some effort to dig them out.
It can only be viewed as a sightseeing trip to get a fresh picture.
After wandering around for a while, Lin Yi and the others went back.
As luck would have it, on the way back, I saw a place where steam was coming out. When I got closer, I saw that it was a small hot spring!
There were no outsiders here, so the three brothers simply jumped into the hot spring and took a comfortable bubble bath.
About ten minutes later, while the three of them were enjoying a bath, they suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Hey, you found the hot spring and didn't tell me?"
Hearing the sound, Lin Yi knew that the little brother had arrived.
He turned to look over and saw that the little brother was already getting ready to go to the hot spring.
So, the four of us soaked in the hot spring and felt comfortable all over.
The fat man asked curiously, "Brother, why did you come here alone? I just called you, but you didn't come?"
The younger brother said, "It's boring to be with them."
The fat man said, "Okay."
My little brother is obviously so strong and knows so much.
But sometimes, Fatty feels that the younger brother is quite funny, even a little childish.
The four of them took a bath and returned to the camp. When they told about the hot spring, Chen Pi, Ah Si and others were extremely envious.
Unfortunately, it was too dark now, so they were unlikely to go to the hot springs again, and they could only feel envious.
At night, the guide Shunzi found Lin Yi secretly.
"Boss Lin, at this point, can you tell me what you are here for?"
Lin Yi looked Shunzi up and down.
This brother is usually very honest and never asks too many questions. Now that he suddenly asked, he must have been holding it in his heart for a long time, right?
I guess I have something to say to myself.
So Lin Yi told Shunzi about the tomb robbery.
Shunzi also told Ji Yi about his situation.
It turned out that not long ago, his brother led a group of people, also acting as guides, into the Three Saints Snow Mountain.
But after going in, he never came back.
He agreed to be a guide this time, partly because Lin Yi gave him a lot of money.
Secondly, he wanted to find his brother.
If his brother is alive, then let him take his brother home.
If his brother is dead, try to find his body as much as possible and take his brother's body home.
Of course, with the vastness of the snow-capped mountains, both of these possibilities are unlikely.
However, he felt that the purpose of Lin Yi and others going to Changbai Mountain should be the same as the purpose of the previous people who went to Changbai Mountain.
If this is the case, then the chance of finding his brother is still relatively high.
Shunzi was timid before and didn't dare to say much. Now that they came to the pass of Xiaosheng Mountain, they were convinced in their hearts that they dared to secretly show off their cards with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi is not an old devil like Chen Pi Asi who kills without blinking an eye. Since Shunzi told him honestly, he doesn't mind helping him find his brother along the way.
However, the information he got from Shunzi made Ji Yi a little shocked.
Before them, a group of teams had arrived here!
First of all, this team is obviously not ‘Chen Wenjing’, the one Jude took the exam for.
Nor are they people like Chen Pi Ah Si and myself.
Who else could it be besides them?
Jiumen Zhang Family, Zhang Rishan?
Or 'it'?
Or is it a new mysterious entrant?
Since those people didn't come out, 80% of them were already dead inside.
However, Zhang Rishan and ‘it’ shouldn’t let this happen, right?
Or are they just ordinary tomb robbers who came in after hearing the news about Yunding Tiangong?
Ji Yi thought for a while and simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, you should know when you get there.
It was dark the next day, so we started walking up the mountain range.
The road above the mountainside is even more difficult. The road is sloping in many places, and there are snow-covered mountains thousands of feet high above your head. It is very easy for avalanches, so you cannot speak loudly.
The snow on the road is too thick. The snow layer of thousands of years is almost empty underneath. Sometimes people are buried in the snow up to their chests and cannot get out without help.
Even Lao Hu and Fatty have to act cautiously and don't dare to be careless.
After passing the snowy road on the mountainside, we entered an icy zone with huge snow slopes on both sides.
There is no sunshine all year round here, the snow is like frozen soil, the slope of the mountain becomes steeper and steeper, and the temperature is extremely low.
Ji Yi's eyes fell on a steep slope that was almost at an acute angle of 60 degrees to the mountain, covered with white snow.
