Chapter 170 Immortal Ruins

 Jiang Qiuyun felt strange: "This is a snow-covered place, how could there be pine trees?"

Lu Cheng said: "Nature is wonderful, isn't it? This is the sunny side on the east side. Because the cave is sunken and snow cannot be completely covered, the roots are trapped in the rocks, and the mountain blocks the cold wind, so there are pine trees that survive."

"Is this a pine tree planted by man-made?"

“It’s possible.”

Lu Cheng walked around the back of the pine tree and found traces of artificial carvings on the stone wall. When he looked closely, there seemed to be a sunken stone door! He pushed the stone door gently and failed to push it open; with three thousand kilograms of force, the stone door "creaked" and opened! There was a black cave inside!

"Strange, how could there be a cave here?"

"Let's go in and have a look."

Lu Cheng took out the headlight and put it on, and walked into the deep cave.

I don’t know how deep the cave is, and I can’t see the bottom at first glance.

After walking forward for more than ten meters, Lu Cheng was surprised to find that the stone walls in the cave were full of exposed jade! Some were green and some were pure white, emitting a strange light under the light.

He waved the golden dagger and dug two pieces from the stone wall, each of which was about ten centimeters in diameter, one piece of green and one piece of pure white. He handed the green jade to Jiang Qiuyun, holding the pure white jade in his hand and carefully looked at it.

"The fineness and oiliness are good. There is no watery feeling, but the glutinous nature is better, and it looks thicker than other Qinghai ingredients. When you look closer, it is not pure white, but milky white. It is light-colored like cheese, very gentle, and you can smell the milky fragrance. I really want to go up and take a bite. This is the top white jade with mutton fat!"

Jiang Qiuyun praised: "This piece of jade is also very beautiful. It is slightly polished and carved, and it is no worse than ice-type jade."

"I really didn't expect that such a small cave actually contained jade ore veins!"

"Is this a cave left by the predecessors digging the mine veins?"

"It shouldn't be. If it were a passage that miners excavated, how could they be willing to give up these jade materials?"

"Who made the work?"

I continued walking forward and walked about thirty meters. The front became clear and a round jade room appeared, with a diameter of about twenty meters. There was a white jade bed, two white jade tables, and four white jade chairs. There were also several small stone rooms around, filled with green jade and white jade.

Lu Cheng walked over, picked up a piece of white jade and looked at it, and found that it was better than the one I dug out before!

"It turns out that the person who excavated the passage before left the most exquisite jade material and piled it in a small stone chamber! Oh my God, who did this?"

Jiang Qiuyun was surprised and asked, "Lu Cheng, do you think this is a ruin left by ancient immortals?"

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Maybe."

"Look carefully to see if there are any dry mummies."

"Since you are an immortal, shouldn't you ascend in the sun?"

They searched around, but they did not find any bones.

Jiang Qiuyun was in a small stone chamber and saw a bow hanging on the jasper wall. The bow was very big, more than one person tall, and the bowstrings had rotted. The sword was wearing a scabbard, and it was pulled out with a cold light, about three feet long, and it looked very sharp.

She waved her sword and chopped it on the jasper wall. She could actually cut it down, but the blade was not damaged.

"Good sword! This sword belongs to me. I will use it to learn sword dance!"

Lu Cheng looked at the sword and found that there were many thunder cloud patterns on it, which were the simplest runes.

The cloud thunder text is a typical pattern common on bronze ware. The basic feature is composed of continuous "未" lines. Some make round continuous compositions, called "cloud patterns" alone; some make square continuous compositions, called "thunder patterns". The cloud thunder patterns are often used as ground patterns on bronze ware to set off the theme patterns. Some appear separately on the neck or feet of the artifact. They were popular in the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and were still used during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. On the Guangdong-style bronze drums, the cloud thunder patterns are used as the dominant pattern, and are often densely distributed around the sun patterns in the center of the drum surface, symbolizing that the sun and cloud thunder coexist in the sky.

Lu Cheng flicked the sword with his finger and said, "This is not a bronze ware, it seems to be some kind of alloy steel. It appears later than the Witchcraft Age."

Jiang Qiuyun asked: "How do you know it appeared later?"

Lu Cheng replied: "Because the runes on it have been greatly simplified. It's like going from traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese."

"Is this a common flying sword in cultivation novels? Will it fly up?"

"I think it's very hungry. I probably can't fly."

He took off the bow without a bowstring, took it in his finger for a moment, and said, "I don't know what wood this bow has used, and I don't know how many years have passed. It's still smooth and round, hard as iron. This is a good thing. I'll tie it to a bowstring and can still use it again."

He put away the bow, then put all the green jade and white jade in several small stone chambers into storage bracelets and storage belts. According to his estimate, if the jade materials were piled together, they would be at least squares with a side length of 5-6 meters. Even if it was 5 meters, the volume would be 125 cubic meters, and the density of nephrite was 3, which was equivalent to 375 tons.

Jiang Qiuyun put away the white jade bed, the white jade table and four chairs.

The two white jade tables are very beautiful, one is a round table, one is a square table, and one is rectangular!

The white jade bed was unsatisfactory, only 1.7 meters long, and it was too narrow to allow only one person to sleep.

Despite this, Jiang Qiuyun rarely gained such a gain. She was happy and said with a smile: "According to Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of Condor Heroes", the white jade bed helps practice, and Xiaolongnu slept like this bed."

Lu Cheng pondered: "When the spiritual energy is revived, white jade helps absorb spiritual energy and transmit it to the person sleeping on it. It should have some effect."

Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's try it after we go back."

They swept away all the items in the stone chamber, then walked out of the cave, and used the crampons to carefully go down the mountain. Although the two of them had good skills and had a talisman on their bodies, it would be more dangerous if they fell from the mountain.

After going down the mountain, standing at the foot of the mountain, Lu Cheng took out his cell phone and looked at it. He found that the signal here was very weak. He checked the longitude and longitude of the mountain and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, guess what? This is actually Yuxu Peak!"

"Yuxu Peak?"

"This is the holy land of the immortal family, the legendary former residence of the gods. Isn't it a bit funny?"

"I don't think it's funny at all. Is this where Queen Mother of the West lives?"

"Well, according to the legend of the immortals, this is where the Queen Mother of the West held the Peach Banquet. Yuxu Peak is based on mountains and stands on the clouds. It is one of the Taoist pilgrimage centers, the main temple of the Taoist Kunlun School. It is known as the blessing land of Taoism's cave heaven and the best of the sacred mountain."

Yuxu Peak is the sister peak of Yuzhu Peak, with an altitude of 5980 meters, a longitude of 93.41, and a latitude of 35.45. It is one of the origins of Kunlun jade.

Logically speaking, although this mountain is high, there are still mountain climbers who come to climb. Those people are walking on the mountain south route and the terrain is relatively flat. Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun are walking on the east side, and there is a cliff in it, which ordinary people cannot climb up.

Jiang Qiuyun looked back at the pine tree close to the top of the mountain and sighed: "The legendary Queen Mother Palace should be extremely magnificent, and it is better to gather immortals. How could there be only one cave?"

Lu Cheng: "That's a legend after all. Even though there was the Queen Mother Palace back then, after tens of thousands of years of wind and rain, it had long disappeared in the world."
