This tower is very tall. When you climb up the cliff, walk to the bottom of the tower and look up, you feel like you can't see the end.

However, the outside of the tower looks very dilapidated, and some walls are also covered with a thick layer of ice. The broken door is ajar, so you can't see what the environment inside is like.

Xueyin directly opened the door and went in. Behind the door was pitch black and there was no one. It turned back to look at Chen Chen and said, "Come in!"

Chen Chen signaled for Su Bing to go in, and Ling Mu Ning followed. They were cautiously vigilant about everything inside, fearing that danger might suddenly appear.

The first floor of this tower is empty. Except for the stairs leading to the upper floor at the back and dry firewood on the ground, there is nothing else. There is not even a table or chair, and I don't know where it is.

What is the use of building this tall tower on Changbai Mountain?

Xueyin sat down in the middle and remained silent, as if waiting for something.

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise and the door was closed with such force that the whole tower shook.

It is already evening, there is not enough light, and it is even darker inside the tower. Now the door is closed, and you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, they all have good cultivation skills and are not afraid of not being able to see things in the dark.

But such movement still startled everyone.

"Don't worry, it's just the wind." Xueyin was very calm, as if he was very familiar with this place.

"How are we going to find the bronze door? What's the point of coming to this place?" Chen Chen asked again puzzled.

"Wait for someone, he should be back soon." Xueyin said.

Su Bing curiously looked at the first floor for a long time, then walked to the stairs, hesitating and was about to go up to take a look, but Xueyin immediately said: "Don't go up, there is no permission for the area above the second floor, just go up.

Disrespect to the master."

After hearing this, Chen Chen had no choice but to tell Su Bing what he said.

Su Bing did not continue. She came back and sat next to Chen Chen, saying: "Changbai Mountain is more mysterious than the previous Qingluan Peak. Who built this tower here? Not even a person can be seen, it may have been abandoned.

No one will come back here."

Xueyin could understand human language and said: "It is indeed deserted. An old monk once lived here, but the old monk passed away more than ten years ago. Since then, no one has come here except us animals.

.Of course, you two women are the first humans to enter the tower in more than ten years."

After Chen Chen repeated this sentence to Su Bing, he asked doubtfully: "You just said that no one will come here again, so who are you waiting for?"

Xueyin said mysteriously: "You will know later, because he is no longer a human being."

After going up the mountain, Xueyin also became mysterious and unpredictable.

Although Chen Chen was curious about what happened in the tower, he still did not continue to ask because he felt that something more incredible might happen later.

As night falls, the sky outside becomes darker and darker.

Su Bing just opened the window, and the wind and snow outside rushed in instantly, so she didn't open it completely, leaving enough gap to breathe fresh air.

Su Bing saw dry firewood and used it to make a fire. Finally there was light and temperature. Although they were not afraid of cold or darkness, the presence of firelight was very comfortable and they felt safe.

"Little cutie, are you hungry?" Su Bing said, she took out a few cans from her body, opened them, briefly heated them for a while, and started today's dinner.

Not long after I finished eating, there was sudden movement in the wind and snow outside.

Cack!

There was a knock on the door, the sound was very gentle, and the person knocking on the door was not in a hurry.

Chen Chen and Su Bing looked at each other, both a little surprised. Why was there someone knocking on the door outside?

The person Xueyin said he was waiting for is back?

Sure enough, Xue Yin stood up and said: "The old monk is back."

Chen Chen was stunned and asked: "Isn't the old monk dead?"

Xueyin didn't respond to this sentence, it opened the door first.

Chen Chen walked behind it and heard a "squeaking" sound, which was quickly covered up by the sound of wind and snow outside.

As the door opened, Chen Chen could see an old monk with a bare head and tattered monk robes standing outside. His thin clothes seemed not to be afraid of the cold.

When the old monk saw Chen Chen and Xueyin, he saluted with one hand and smiled kindly.

In his other hand, he held a lantern, which shone like a firefly in the dark sky and earth.

"Really the old monk?" Chen Chen said in surprise.

"Old monk, do you still remember me?" Xueyin suddenly laughed.

"Xueyin, old friend, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect you are still here. How wonderful!" The old monk could still understand the language of animals. At this time, he walked in, closed the door to block the wind and snow outside, and then

Put down the lantern.

The old monk stretched out his hand and gently touched Xueyin's head. Finally, his eyes fell on Chen Chen and Su Bing, and then said: "Xueyin, are you friends?"

Su Bing looked at this scene in surprise. She didn't say anything, her hand was already on the hilt of the Hidden Edge Sword. If there was any danger later, she would unsheath the sword and go out without hesitation.

As for Ling Mu Ning, she didn't seem to understand anything. She stared ahead with her eyes wide open. She felt no killing intent and didn't make any movements.

Chen Chen said: "Xue Yin, didn't you say that the old monk here is dead? Who is he?"

The old monk laughed heartily: "Death is also a way of life. Although the poor monk's body is dead, he lives in this world in another way. But if we really have to deal with the issue of life and death, the poor monk is no longer a human being.

"

Xueyin also smiled and said: "Old monk, don't practice meditation here. We are not Buddhists. Come in and sit here!"

The old monk nodded and was about to walk towards the fire, but Su Bing drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at him, and questioned: "The leopard said you were dead, and you also said you were not a human, so you are a ghost?

"

Although she was successful in cultivation, Su Bing was still a little afraid of ghosts. Back in the small village under Qingluan Peak, the ghost of the old man scared them all to death.

"Whether the poor monk is a human or a ghost, it all depends on your thoughts. Whatever you think is what it is, why are you so persistent? Even if the poor monk is not a human, he will not hurt people, right?" The old monk had already sat down.

It seems that the golden sword light cannot be seen.

Chen Chen jumped up and pressed Su Bing's hand, signaling her not to mess around, and then she put away her sword.

Seeing that the old monk was just like an ordinary person, and then thinking about what Xueyin said, Chen Chen became even more curious about him.

"You read and heard correctly. The old monk is indeed dead. He died more than ten years ago. But what you see now is still the old monk. He just survived in another way, but he will never leave.

If you don't drive to Changbai Mountain, you will really die." Xueyin still explained.

"Changbai Mountain is bigger than the world. The poor monk has been traveling here. When the monk gets tired of staying here, he will go down the mountain and end his life." The old monk had a smile on his face, and life and death had faded for him.

Chen Chen watched the old monk take out a steamed bun and eat it with relish in front of the fire. He still had a shadow under the fire, so he must have really survived.

But in what way is he alive, and he is no longer a human being?

Chen Chen couldn't help but remember that when he was at the foot of the mountain, the big wolf dog said that if he opened the bronze door, it would come to life.
