In the past two years, due to the sudden change in climate, heavy snow has fallen on both sides of the Li River, and the temperature has become colder.

There was also a freezing phenomenon in the Li River.

However, it is only limited to the area of the battle on both sides of the strait, and there is a layer of ice two or three inches behind.

The same is true for rivers and lakes, where the frozen area is relatively small where the water flow is strong, and larger where the water flow is stable.

But there is no ice.

The flow of water is second only to that of the Chenjiang and Mengshui, and there is only a small amount of floating ice on the river, except for the ice layer that is a few feet wide near both banks.

There are two sources of the water;

One is Ruishui of the Bashu Kingdom, which extends eastward to the southern part of the Qin State, and then draws a semicircle to Shuimeng City.

The second is the Han River, the source of the Han River is in the northwest ice peak, to Jianye City divided into two lines.

One flows from the north of Jianye City to the northeast, and finally joins the Hunhe River.

The Hunhe River, known as the river, is indeed inconsistent with the facts, the Hunhe River is not smaller than the Li River, and even the flow volume and length are twice as long as the Li River, but her water is too turbid, she is inland, the river bends too much, flows through a wide area, there are too many tributaries, and floods are frequent, and the inland rivers are generally in the concept, all called rivers.

The other line, passing through the south of Jianye City, first went to the southeast, and then also turned a corner, almost merged with Ruishui in Shuanghe City, and then went to the southeast, was blocked in Pingshan, went around the mountain to the south and finally turned to the southeast, and merged with Ruishui in Shuimengcheng.

The beginning of Shuimengcheng and the flow into the Li River are the Mengshui River.

Mengshui was opened by Zhang Yu, for the Xia State Water Army, it is meaningless in front of it, it is a bit of a gamble, but it is of great significance to the water trade route in the future.

In other words, Mengshui can go directly to the southern suburbs of Jianye City.

It can also be directly connected to Mengchuan City, the capital of Bashu Kingdom, because Ruishui passes through the northern suburbs of Mengchuan.

More than ten miles southeast of Mengchuan, there is a large land and water wharf in the middle of the upper reaches of the Lijiang River.

The Xia Guoshui army appeared on the Mengshui outside Shuimeng City, and the Marquis of Jinyang, who was taken over by Li Chaoyang not long ago, was startled when he heard the news, and he left a shadow in Xia Guo's heart.

Li Chaoyang personally led people to negotiate with the Xia State Naval Army, and when he came back, he told the Marquis of Jinyang that the Xia State Naval Army was only investigating the trade routes.

The heart of the Marquis of Jinyang can be considered to be on the ground.

It was now a truce, and no one wanted to start a war in this winter, with all sides camping in their camps ready for the winter.

But not necessarily, a colder place than this Shuimeng City, the Troubled Stone Pass, on a night when the water was dripping into ice, a sudden change occurred.

Outside the castle is the rocky valley, which is blocked by rocks, and the dangerous peaks on both sides of the steep slopes no longer exist, and the great monks worked together to collapse the dangerous peaks on both sides, filling up the canyon that was not spacious.

After so many years, most people have forgotten the tragic war of the barbarians outside Tongguan, and the Ranshi Pass, which was stained with the blood of countless Central Plains people, has also been abandoned.

And now, the deserted Rocky Pass has gained popularity again, and the Black Lotus Holy Sect has been forced to retreat here.

Sect Leader Ling Tao wants to lead the sect members to plan to go out of the customs to the wilderness land in the extreme north.

The barbarians living in the wilderness did not give up entering the Central Plains at any time, they envied the life in the Central Plains, but Ling Tao and his Black Lotus Saint Sect disciples wanted to go to the extreme northern wilderness, it seemed that everything in the world was full of contradictions, but driven by the interests expected in their hearts, the behavior of the bustling dreamers who came from the south to the north and the east to the west was not a contradiction.

It wasn't too difficult for Ling Tao to cross the Troubled Stone Valley, but it wasn't easy for his hundreds of thousands of sect members to get there, so they didn't take action if they tried to find a way, and in the wilderness where the cold wind was howling in Kansai, there were hundreds of thousands of Liu Guozhong's army armed to the teeth.

Liu Guozhong's repetition was the reason why the Black Lotus Holy Sect finally gave up the Kanwu City of Li and moved north, and Ling Tao hated the capricious Liu Guozhong.

In the end, Liu Guozhong actually chased here, which made him lose his original plan, and let the ordinary sect members stay in the three cities of the border pass, these three cities were very important for him to go to the extreme north, and prepare the base and material supply depot after moving north, and he was ready to rely on this to revive the Black Lotus Holy Sect after he returned.

However, this plan was destroyed by Liu Guozhong, and even Han Yu, the sect leader he appointed to preach on his behalf, did not know the life and death of him, and there was no news.

Liu Guozhong was only sleepy and did not attack, but he made the elite cultists who had lost most of their food and materials hungry and cold for nearly a month.

In the past month, Ling Tao and Fu Hu have investigated the Troubled Stone Pass several times, but they have not been able to find a way out, and Ling Tao even planned to recruit the few remaining puppets to dig through the valley, but was persuaded by Fu Hu.

These puppets are cannon fodder for treasure hunting, and they can't afford to lose them.

But at this time, several heavy snowfalls fell in a row, which was really a disaster, and they could not hold on for a few days, because the food was exhausted.

More than 100,000 people, more than 100,000 people, were frozen to death and starved to death because of the lack of cotton clothing and food.

In order not to starve to death, some members of the congregation have begun to secretly eat meat and food.

This is the first sunny day after the snow, an extremely cold night, it can be said that the dripping water into ice, fortunately, the people who survived are all people with high cultivation and strong endurance, there is not much wood to burn the fire to keep warm, hundreds of people around a bonfire, if there is no solution before dawn, I am afraid that some people will plan to run away, it is really a little unable to persevere.

But in the middle of the night, there was a sudden roar outside the gate, like a landslide and the ground cracked.

The members of the Black Lotus Holy Sect who couldn't sleep jumped up in shock, and many people climbed up to the top to look out of the pass, and a huge black hole suddenly appeared in the snow-capped rocky valley.

Fu Hu was the first to cross the city, looking at the collapsed rocky valley, a little dazed.

"What's the situation?"

Ling Tao, who came later, asked in a low voice.

"Inexplicably, the rocks that blocked the valley disappeared so suddenly. ”

Fu Hu cultivated high, had good eyesight, and could see clearly, and the stones that blocked the chaotic stone valley disappeared with a bang, and the roar was like the collapse of a mountain peak.

"Gone?"

Ling Tao was surprised.

"Yes, gone, the valley is open. ”

Fu Hu said with some solemnity.

This blocked Rocky Valley, even if 100,000 young people are sent to carry and dig day and night, it will take decades to open, how can it be opened overnight, it is not the power to take action.

Ling Tao looked at Fu Hu with a puzzled face.

Fu Hu somewhat understood Ling Tao's thoughts.

"There are no energy fluctuations, oh, it should be said that there are no energy fluctuations that exceed mine, but it is not like a natural phenomenon. ”

Just as they were guessing and were about to check, the roar gradually subsided, and a few black spots suddenly appeared in the valley, of course, these black spots could only be seen by Fuhu.

"Not good, it seems to be a barbarian. ”

After observing for a while, Fu Hu suddenly exclaimed.
