Chapter 1661 New clues, the truth from more than ten years ago
The wooden house was not very spacious, so the two men responsible for searching the wooden house returned to the stove after a while.
The two of them shook their heads at the person who stayed by the stove, indicating that they had not noticed it. Then they took the hot water from their companion and sat down in front of the stove to warm themselves up.
This hot water comes from boiled snow water.
As for the snow water, there was a lot of snow lying on the injured person lying on the ground, so it was considered a local resource.
Because I couldn't understand the language of several people, I temporarily called the two men Big Beard and Brown Beard based on their facial features.
The bearded man looks the strongest and toughest.
The big man with brown beard is the tallest among them.
There is a man and a woman taking care of the wounded. The man will be called the sick and thin man for the time being, and the woman is wearing a headband, so she will be called the headband woman for the time being.
When the bearded man and the brown-bearded man finished drinking a cup of hot water, the vegetable and fish soup on the stove was also cooked.
There are some simple cooking utensils left in this snow-capped mountain cabin. Boil them with snow water and treat them as washed. In addition, these people also have some bowls and spoons with them, so the problem of eating and drinking will not be difficult for a few people for the time being.
Seeing that these people even brought their own bowls and spoons, Headless Jin An watched quietly, wondering in his mind whether these bowls and spoons were found together with the Gelwu Immortal Cauldron? Or were these people carrying them with them?
These people still didn't notice that there was a headless Taoist priest sitting next to him, holding steaming fish soup and dry bread. They ate in silence without speaking to each other, and they were completely unaware that there was another person beside them.
None of them noticed the existence of Headless Jin An, so when they sat down to warm themselves by the fire, they almost sat next to Headless Jin An, but they never noticed anything unusual around them. There was one more person, but they were facing the vegetables.
Fish talks about eating with gusto.
A group of people sat around a headless Taoist priest, almost sitting next to each other, but they didn't even notice it. Instead, they ate the food with relish. The scene was horrifying and had an indescribable strange feeling. The strange atmosphere in the air became more and more...
diffused.
Perhaps it was because they had been traveling for so long in the snowstorm and starving themselves had taken too much physical effort. There was only the sound of clattering bowls and spoons in the wooden house, and no one spoke. A few people finished their food in silence and replenished their energy before continuing to communicate.
stand up.
But the headless Jin'an couldn't understand what they were saying.
Several people were talking while taking care of the injured and unconscious woman on the ground. Looking at the worried faces of several people, Headless Jin'an guessed that they were worried about the injuries of their companions and were discussing how to escape the snowstorm and how to get out of the snowy mountains to treat their companions.
The wind and snow outside the wooden house are still whistling and roaring, thousands of miles of ice cover, and the sky is freezing cold. Although the wooden house is old and leaks from all directions, compared with the world outside, most of the wind and snow are blocked and there is a fire in the wooden house to keep warm.
Much warmer.
After eating hot food and replenishing their physical strength, several people who had been tired from the journey gradually felt sleepy and their eyelids became heavier. After leaving one person to guard the fire, the others lay down around the fire and fell asleep.
Perhaps because he was too tired, the person responsible for guarding the fire fell asleep soon after.
Several people slept soundly, and even the snowstorm outside the wooden house intensified and the wind howled more and more in the cracks, they could not wake them up.
That's because they didn't know that there was a headless Taoist priest around them. If they knew that this snow-capped mountain cabin was unclean and that there was a headless Taoist priest sitting among them all the time, they would be so frightened that they would lose sleep and would not be able to sleep.
The branches in the stove were crackling, and the branches in the stove kept burning. From time to time, Toudou Jin'an added the dead branches he brought back to the stove, and the flames in the stove kept jumping.
However, the intensifying snowstorm outside not only covered up the sound of burning firewood, but also gradually overshadowed the temperature of the stove. The temperature inside the wooden house was rapidly dropping.
The few people sleeping around the fire huddled and shivered with cold in their sleep, and kept getting closer to the fire.
The bearded man woke up from the cold once in a daze. Seeing that the fire was burning brightly, he thought his companions on duty were adding more firewood, and soon fell asleep again.
At this time, it was completely dark outside the wooden house, the temperature was even lower at night, and the snowstorm was getting stronger and stronger.
The colder it got, the more deeply they slept. They didn't notice a headless Taoist priest walking among them, checking their belongings.
Headless Jin'an saw that several people were sleeping soundly, so he unwrapped the package and checked the fresh ingredients.
In that bag of fresh ingredients, there are all animals on the road, fish in the water, fish in the sky, and birds in the sky, and the ingredients are abundantly stored.
But the most valuable thing is having fresh vegetables and fruits in winter!
After inspection, Wutou Jinan found that although the ingredients had been frozen because of the weather, it could be seen from the thickness of the ice that these ingredients had been freshly frozen, and the fish could still smell fishy and frozen.
The vegetable leaves have not yet completely frozen and become crispy...
There are so many rich ingredients, including fruits and vegetables in the sky and underground water, and they can never be grown in one place. Fresh fruits and vegetables alone cannot be grown in this season!
All these clues point to the Gewu Immortal Cauldron!
"Hmm? Candied dates?"
Headless Jin'an found Han candied dates among a pile of ingredients. He continued to rummage and found quite a lot.
Each one is full in color, about half the size of a fist, and is stored fresh.
This is a foreign country, not Kangding. You can see candied dates in a foreign country. Headless Jinan can only think of one place, one after another on the Shenzhou that went to sea!
Shenzhou passed through this place more than ten years ago!
But for some unknown reason, the navy fleet was completely wiped out, and only the Shenzhou ship returned to Kangding. Even the most important artifact of the kingdom, the Immortal Tripod, was lost overseas!
What really surprised Headless Jin'an was that everyone was saying that the people on the Shenzhou were driven crazy and cannibalistic and committed suicide because they were short of food, lost their way in the endless ocean, and couldn't find land supplies.
Kill each other.
But the immediate result is that the Gewu Immortal Cauldron has abundant food reserves and is not at the end of its rope.
Not only is it not at the end of its rope, on the contrary, the Gewuxian Ding with rich food preservation seems more like it was actively abandoned overseas.
The reason is not difficult to guess.
Some people have seen that the evil nature of the Immortal Cauldron is closely related to cannibalism.
When the Shenzhou set sail, not to mention the many naval fleets that accompanied it, the naval officers and soldiers on the Shenzhou alone, the imperial guards sent by the royal family to protect the successive ones, and the elite firearms battalions sent by the emperor to protect the successive ones were personally trained by Emperor Kang Heng. They were enough to arm a city.
Under the eyes of so many people, no one has raised objections to voluntarily abandoning a country-level artifact like the Gewu Immortal Cauldron... Only one person can do it!
He was the only one who survived and returned to Kangding State, but was eventually accused of violating human ethics and surviving by eating the corpses of his people!
