On weekdays, you can always see some people walking around the building complex where the Snow Mountain School resides.
But at this moment, there was deathly silence all around.
Not only the Onmyoji, but also the servants and vassals have completely disappeared.
Yukiyama Hayato, who came out of the Sifang Attic, saw this scene and the corner of his mouth twitched. A trace of physical pain clearly flashed across his face.
"The real person, that beast Taro Murakami, is ruthless and rampant."
"At that time, I felt that this person was a great disaster. Considering that his strength was completely exhausted and he left the sect, I did not expel him from our Snow Mountain School."
"This time, when he came back suddenly, I knew he must be harboring evil intentions."
"On this snowy mountain, I have always imprisoned him in a dark cave near the peak!"
…
Inadvertently, a trace of resentment flashed across Snow Mountain Falcon's face.
When he turned around and explained all this to Chen Hai, he changed his face again.
His smile was a bit bitter and sad. As for resentment or anything like that, there was no trace of resentment on his face.
"Really?" Without comment, Chen Hai smiled calmly: "It is said that Taro Murakami was once the most valued disciple of your Snow Mountain School."
"This time, he came back to the mountain. I thought he was bringing reinforcements!"
"I didn't expect that you would imprison him directly if you could kill off your relatives. It's not easy!"
Although he said this, there was a somewhat meaningful smile on his face.
From the looks of it, he clearly didn't believe what Yukiyama Hayato said.
However, since people have said so and behaved quite cooperatively with his requests, no matter what Chen Hai thinks in his heart, on the surface, he must still express his position a little bit.
Snow Mountain Hayato is also a mature person.
He could naturally understand the meaning of Chen Hai's words, but he didn't explain much!
Respectfully, he bowed to Chen Hai and motioned for him to follow him, then he led the way, leading Chen Hai to the top of the snow peak, and walked quickly there.
The snow peak where the Snow Mountain School is located is halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, with snow everywhere.
The further up we go, the colder it gets. When we reach the back, the snow is gone and replaced by patches of cold ice that haven't melted in countless years.
His beard and hair are all white. Although Snow Mountain Hayato is already quite old, he has a strong resistance to the cold since he has lived on the snowy peaks all year round.
He is very agile and can walk in the ice and snow at an astonishing speed.
Even Chen Hai found it a little difficult to keep up with him.
Under the guidance of Snow Mountain Hayato, the two walked forward one after another for at least thirty or forty minutes.
At a distance of one or two hundred meters from the peak, at a position on the back of the mountain, Snow Mountain Hayato finally stopped.
"Master, the cave where Murakami Taro is imprisoned is right here!" Hayato Yukiyama said, pointing to the place not far ahead that seemed to be sunken.
"Yes!" Chen Hai nodded lightly and took a few steps forward.
If you look at that depression a few more times, you will feel that this place is like a huge mouth.
Either above or below, there are sharp rocks, like canine teeth.
Gusts of dark wind blew out from the cracks in the rocks, shattering the nearby solid ice into pieces and turning it into ice water, flowing elsewhere!
It is for this reason that this area is not frozen.
The gray-brown color is occasionally mixed with dark red rocks, which looks so unique and conspicuous in this vast white world of ice and snow.
There are canine-like rocks standing up and down, and the gaps between them are small enough for an adult to put an arm in.
As for those thick cracks, an ordinary person can easily get into them.
"Leader of the Snow Mountain Sect, since you said there is a cave inside, Taro Murakami is being imprisoned inside."
"Then, just lead the way, and I'll follow you in!"
After looking at the place up and down, Chen Hai frowned slightly. He turned back and gave instructions to Snow Mountain Hayato.
After leading himself here, Yukiyama Hayato stopped moving forward.
Judging from his posture, it seems that he is only planning to bring Chen Hai here, and let Chen Hai handle the rest of the matter by himself.
"Master, go in through the canine-like gap in the rocks. There is a cave inside!"
"Go forward at most thirty to fifty meters, and you will definitely see Taro Murakami."
"After all, he was also my former disciple. Knowing that you came to kill him and being able to bring you here makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"It would definitely be inappropriate to enter a cave and bring you directly in front of him..."
Snow Mountain Hayato, who had always been very cooperative in front of Chen Hai, was hesitant at this time.
He showed a certain degree of resistance to Chen Hai's request.
"Master of the Snow Mountain Sect, just bringing me here does not seem to be enough to express your sincerity."
"Taro Murakami is imprisoned in a cave here. This is just your one-sided statement."
"Who knows what kind of place it will be if you enter through the cracks in the rocks? And whether there will be any danger?"
"Come here and you immediately stop moving forward. Do you think I will suspect that you have some ulterior motives for this move?"
Staring coldly at Snow Mountain Hayato in front of him, Chen Hai was very dissatisfied and snorted softly.
At the same time, circles of flames appeared out of thin air and began to surround him.
His move, in addition to dispelling the coldness for himself, obviously also contained a strong sense of threat.
Perhaps, as long as Yukiyama Hayato says a word "no", these flames will fall on him immediately and start to burn blazingly.
"Okay, Master, I'll lead the way, just follow me!"
With a complex expression on his face, and after hesitating for a while, Yukiyama Hayato looked helpless and finally nodded.
If he was truly fearless in the face of the threat of death, he would not have given in in front of Chen Hai before, but would have fought to death.
When Chen Hai was threatened, Snow Mountain Hayato would react like this. In Chen Hai's opinion, this was indeed reasonable.
Seeing Yukiyama Hayato, he had already taken steps towards the largest gap in the rocks in the depression ahead. He followed closely and hurriedly followed.
Passing through the cracks in the rocks, after only walking a dozen meters, the space inside suddenly opened up.
Several strange red stones are inlaid on the top of the cave.
The strange blood glow bloomed from those strange stones, making everything in the cave full of scarlet.
Various strange statues, some with dog heads, some with dog tails, and some with their mouths open, revealing a pair of sharp canine teeth that shine with cold light...
These statues are scattered throughout the cave.
Under the glow of the blood light in the cave, these already weird statues make people feel an indescribable sense of evil.
There is no road ahead, and this cave with an area of one to two hundred square meters is already the end of this place.
Following Hayato of the Snow Mountain, Chen Hai stepped into this place and immediately saw Taro Murakami.
This guy was naked and had a dog collar around his neck.
He was originally a human, but now he was like a dog, with his tongue hanging out, and he was on all fours, circling in the cave.
Whenever he passed by those weird statues, this guy would stick out his big tongue and lick every part of the statue's body carefully.
Later, he would urinate like a yellow dog, leaving his own unique mark near the statue.
Among the eight million gods in Japanese legends, there are so many that are related to dogs that it is impossible to count them.
The dog ghost inheritance of the Snow Mountain School also comes from a god related to dogs.
Since the place of Dog Cave has undergone great changes, it seems that this place has been regarded as a forbidden place by a terrifying existence related to dogs.
Using the Dog Cave to communicate with that terrifying existence caused the Snow Mountain Sect to suffer huge losses, leading to their decline to where they are today.
But it has to be said that the unknown canine god is indeed extremely powerful.
Regarding how to please this dog god, the Snow Mountain School still has a little bit of experience!
That guy Taro Murakami neglected good people, but made himself look like a dog.
The reason why he did this was just to please the dog god and try to communicate with him.
It's freezing cold outside, but inside the cave it's only a little warmer than outside, but it's equally cold and humid.
It didn't take long for the naked Murakami Taro to enter the dog cave.
Although he maintained enough exercise, he was still shivering from the cold.
Perhaps it was because an unknown force had already affected him. His eyes were shining with scarlet light, and it seemed that there was not much humanity left.
After seeing Chen Hai suddenly, he was stunned for a moment. While barking "woof, woof, woof," he showed his fierceness and rushed towards Chen Hai.
"Rumble...Rumble..."
Just when Chen Hai was about to use the power of fire to kill Taro Murakami, there was a loud bang, and the entire cave seemed to be shaken.
"Not good..." His expression changed, and Chen Hai looked back.
Passing through the cracks in the rocks, in the long and narrow passage leading to the cave, a huge stone has fallen from the sky, completely blocking the entire passage.
Originally, Yukiyama Hayato, who was just a few steps in front of Chen Hai, took advantage of Chen Hai's attention and was attracted by Murakami Taro. He had already taken a few steps and walked to a position near the cave wall.
At this moment, he had turned around and looked towards Chen Hai with a strange look on his face.
Looking at his appearance, it was easy to know that the blocking of the passage must have been done by him.
