Chapter 214 There is a valley at the bottom of the North Mountain cliff
The Wen family members turned around and went around to the back of Wangjia Mountain. They continued forward and walked for a while until they were sure there was no one around.
Wenwen said excitedly, "Daddy, let's speed up! It's been so long since I've seen so many mountains."
As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed off into the distance.
The others quickly followed, one by one.
Now that they are all cultivators, and with their original cultivation techniques, exploring and patrolling the mountains is a piece of cake for them.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the edge of a cliff.
"Hey, take a break. There are some big rocks here, Uncle, sit down."
"Alright, everyone take a break."
"The mountains here are really high and there are lots of trees. It's a pity that we've traveled so far and haven't seen a single wild rabbit or pheasant."
"That's right, this place is too desolate. It truly lives up to its reputation as the barren northern desert."
"Don't you think about it? It's winter now, the coldest season of the year. How can the mountains not be bare? If you want to see green leaves and red flowers, you'll have to wait until next year!"
Wen Chengjian and the others sat on a large rock, chatting idly.
Wenwen wandered around nearby, multitasking, listening to what the others were saying while looking around.
Suddenly, she pointed to a few vines below the cliff and retorted loudly, "Who said we have to wait until next year? I can see the flowers right now, look!"
What the hell?
Flowers!
How can there be such resilient plants in such cold weather?
Why don't they quite believe it?
The group looked in the direction Wenwen was pointing.
Several forsythia bushes were creeping along the cliff edge, their yellow petals glistening in the sunlight. A breeze blew by, and the branches swayed gently, as if telling everyone that they were welcoming the arrival of spring.
"Forsythia? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"Strange, it opens whenever it wants in this cold weather? That's amazing!"
"Am I seeing things?"
Ye Jingchuan said with certainty, "It's forsythia, 100% sure!"
Wenwen touched her chin with her fingers, deep in thought.
Forsythia, naturally, blooms only in spring. Right now, it's the dead of winter here, and the temperature is so low that the conditions aren't right for it to bloom, unless...
unless......
Unless the temperature below the cliff is high enough to be warm enough, this phenomenon cannot be explained.
Wenwen took a few steps forward to get closer to the edge of the cliff and leaned out to look down.
The cliff was very high, with no end in sight, like facing a dark, gaping hole. When the sunlight shone down, only a faint shadow could be seen, and it wasn't very clear.
Not far from those few forsythia bushes, there were a few more, their pale yellow color quite eye-catching.
She wanted to go down and take a look.
"Father, why don't we go down and take a look?"
Wen Qilin glanced at the sky; it wasn't noon yet, so there was plenty of time. "Let's go down together."
They channeled their spiritual energy to their feet and controlled their speed. After a short while, they finally found solid ground beneath their feet.
"Wow, we've finally reached the bottom! That was so exciting!"
"Hehe, I guess I got to experience being a trapeze artist for once."
"Dad, it's really warm down here at the bottom of the cliff. No wonder there are flowers and green leaves."
"Sigh, it's so far from the sky. Luckily there's some sunlight, so it's not pitch black."
Ye Jingchuan reminded everyone, "Watch your step, there are many weeds here, be careful of poisonous snakes."
The reminder came at just the right time; no sooner had he finished speaking than a rustling sound came from the weeds.
Slip!
A rabbit slipped away right under everyone's noses.
"Hey, rabbit! Alive! Chase it!" Wen Chengbin turned around and chased after the rabbit.
Wen Chengbin's actions while chasing the rabbit were as if he had never seen wild animals in his life. His comical behavior left the others both amused and exasperated.
Is he really unable to catch up? Not at all, he's just teasing him.
A moment later, his voice came from afar, "Uncle, over here, come quick! Big brother, younger brothers and sisters, come quick, we've found something."
Upon hearing that they had made a discovery, the group quickly headed toward the source of the sound.
At the northern end of the cliff, a narrow passage appeared, only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Wenwen asked, "Second Brother, what? The rabbit ran inside?"
Wen Chengbin replied blankly, "Yes, I went in."
"Why didn't you go in? Weren't you hungry? Hehehe~~"
"...A little, haha~~"
Ignoring the siblings' jokes, Wen Qilin stepped into the passage first, saying, "I'll go in and take a look. You two wait outside."
How could Wenwen possibly obey? She followed her father closely and went inside together.
The others followed suit and entered the passage.
The further we went in, the more heat we felt. After turning more than a dozen corners, we finally saw light ahead.
Wen Qilin had just stepped out of the passage when the scene before him made him stop in his tracks.
Wenwen, who was following behind, bumped into his back without realizing it. "Ouch, Daddy, why did you stop walking?"
Wenwen turned her head to look outside from beside Wen Qilin, and what she saw there stunned her.
The people behind them slammed on the brakes, bewildered.
Several pairs of eyes peered out from beside Wen Qilin, all of them gaping in astonishment.
What a beautiful scene, what a wonderful place, it's simply a fairyland.
It turned out that the end of the passage was a valley.
In the valley, birds sang merrily, and all sorts of flowers bloomed in competition. In the distance, there was a lake, and several wild deer were drinking water by the lake. On the lush green hillside, several rabbits could be seen running around.
The valley is surrounded by mountains, with layers upon layers of peaks and clouds and mist swirling around it, adding to its mystery and ethereal beauty.
A gentle breeze swept through the passageway, enveloping the group in warmth, while their shock and astonishment dissipated.
The air here is fresh and pleasant, instantly washing away the dust from your soul.
This is a secluded paradise far from the hustle and bustle of the world, a sanctuary for the soul, a fairyland that people yearn for, and a place suitable for spiritual cultivation.
Wenwen wasn't the only one with this idea; the others shared the same thought.
Wenwen hugged Wen Qilin's arm and said excitedly, "Daddy, let's build a treehouse here. Living here will make us feel very close to the gods."
“My sister is right, Uncle, let’s go in and take a look.”
Even the usually composed Wen Chengjian urged, "Father, let's go!"
Wen Qilin...
Those brats!
They were all so impatient, it was unbearable to watch.
Well, actually, he was quite excited himself.
I never imagined there was such a wonderful place deep in the mountains of northern Mongolia. It's warm and spring-like here. If my family could live and cultivate here, it would be a thousand times, ten thousand times better than living in the camp or at the foot of the mountain.
After I get back, I need to have a good talk with my family and think it over carefully.
"Father, what are you thinking about? Let's go." Wen Chengjian urged again.
Wen Qilin put aside his thoughts and led everyone out of the passage and into the valley.
