After two days of walking, the team came to the bottom of the mountain and began to climb the mountain.

Dongkun Mountain, is the highest peak in the western region of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the only way to enter the land of Xihu, majestic and magnificent, stretching for thousands of miles, the main peak goes straight into the sky,

Climb to the top of the mountain and look around, only to see the peaks competing for show, waterfalls and flowing springs, pine trees, strange flowers and plants, like a fairyland, people have a feeling of being open-minded, the rivers and mountains are all under their feet, Lei Shaoxuan is deeply intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

After all kinds of hardships, rain, snow, wind and frost, difficult to move forward, and how many dangers and desperate situations he has experienced, Lei Shaoxuan has never been in the mood to enjoy the scenery. At this moment, Lei Shaoxuan was in the mood to enjoy the magnificent scenery of rivers and mountains for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of the rivers and mountains.

The ancients said: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Lei Shaoxuan no longer has illusions and distractions about his fate, and concentrates on practicing swordsmanship, studying internal skills, and preparing for the upcoming fate wholeheartedly.

Since you can't escape the ordeal of fate, let's enjoy it. Practice martial arts wholeheartedly, move forward silently, enjoy the beauty of mountains and rivers, expand your mind, and think of yourself as a scholar who travels thousands of miles.

All the way to the west, all the way to the scenery, all the way to the hardship, all the way to the state of mind.

Shushui River, the water is wide and I don't know how to geometry, standing by the river, I can't see the other bank, I see the water and the sky are the same color, the waves are turbulent, and the face is coming. A giant python soared into the sky, opening its huge mouth as if it wanted to swallow the sun rising in the river. The procession crossed in fear on a sheepskin raft.

Crossing the Mengjin Gorge, I saw the cliffs on both sides of the bank rising to the sky, the inclined cliffs, being hit by the whirling waves, the huge stones seemed to fall, the waves jumped thousands of fathoms, the suspended currents were thousands of feet, the angry waves rolled over, and vowed to overturn the cliffs. Walking on the iron bridge that crosses is like walking on the clouds.

Across the Gengnan Glacier, the ice field is thousands of miles, endless, death-like loneliness, as if everything is frozen, everyone wraps the quilt, and still freezes two people to death;

Passing through the Hundred Miles of Qingfeng Gorge, the hurricane seemed to fall in the face of nine days, swept away everything, and the sergeants and prisoners, regardless of each other, were connected together with iron chains, and walked against the wind.

At the end of Qingfeng Canyon is 9,000 steps, stacked with huge stones, and I don't know how the ancients built such a majestic building, and its wisdom makes people today ashamed.

Descending the steps, it is a cliff risk. Build a plank road in the cliff, go down slowly, the plank road is like a line of nine days, hanging in the cliff air, and the sheep intestine coil road is between the peaks.

The cliff Jedi, there is still a road, it can be described as an endless road, seemingly extinct place, often implying vitality.

Leaving the plank road and looking back, I saw that the plank road was like a black line embedded in the stone cliff, there was a little black spot on the cliff, it was a coffin, Yu Zheng said that this was the Hu people's hanging coffin, and I didn't know how the Hu people placed the coffin on the cliff.

From the moment you leave the plank road, it is a vast wasteland of bitter sea.

The Bitter Sea Wasteland is actually a grassland, and the scenery is quite beautiful. On the grassland in early spring, the green grass stretches endlessly, and the wildflowers dotted the grassland very beautifully, with blue sky and white clouds, and the eagle strikes the sky, spreading thousands of miles.

"The grassland is so beautiful, how can it be called the Bitter Sea Wasteland?" Lei Shaoxuan sighed.

There is a saying on the grassland: lovesickness, lovesickness, how many tears, looking home, the lonely soul crying in the vast sea of bitterness.

Yu Zhengdao: "The bitter sea has been a place of conquest since ancient times, how many conscripts have no way back, the bitter sea is bitter in the hearts of the people, this is bitter; the bitter sea is raging in the spring, when the sandstorm comes, the sky is covered by the sun, the day is like night, accidentally swept away by the wind, scraped alive, the winter snowstorm is several feet thick, dripping into ice, cattle and sheep are frozen to death, how many Hu people and the whole tribe starve to death, how can the border guards not suffer? ”

Yu Zheng sighed: "The sea of bitterness is vast, thousands of miles uninhabited, called the wasteland. Years of war, lack of supplies, bandits rampant. In order to eat and clothe, the army was even forced to pretend to be bandits and loot, and everywhere they passed, every inch of grass must be plundered, how can it not be deserted?"

"So, the Bitter Sea Wasteland became famous because of the ancient border wars?"

"Yes, if there is no war, why not be plastered?" Yu Zheng nodded.

After months of walking, most of the group were ragged, haggard, exhausted, and staggering. Lei Shaoxuan seemed to have undergone baptism, a different person, his eyes were bright, his figure was straight, and he seemed to have grown taller again, higher than Hu Youde's shoulders.

Concentrate on practicing martial arts, make rapid progress, although the knife technique is immature, it is quite orderly, and only concentrate on practicing a few knife moves, which makes Lei Shaoxuan's knife appear more powerful.

Ordinary people practice internal skills, rely on the master's guidance line, and practice on their own, but they can't see the internal lines of the body, even if the master's guidance is correct, if you want to really find the correct exercise route, you have to explore it slowly for several months.

Due to the practice route left in Mrs. Qin's body, Lei Shaoxuan did not need to explore the practice route, he only needed to keep it firmly in mind and concentrate on the exercises. I have to say that Lei Shaoxuan was unlucky and met Mrs. Qin, how many people in the world can keep the airflow in the human body?

Of course, Lei Shaoxuan never thought about who Mrs. Qin was, but he just felt that it was unusual.

One night in the spring, after Ma Shaoteng and Hu Youde's protectors, Lei Shaoxuan practiced his sense of qi and completed the operation of Zhou Tian, and his strength has been endless since then.

Ma Shaoteng had to admire, this was a genius that was rare in a century, Lei Shaoxuan didn't dare to tell him, all this was just the credit of Mrs. Qin.

On this day, I finally came to a big city, Huguguan.

Hugu Pass City is ten zhang high, towering and majestic, backed by the majestic Taiyan Mountain, facing the endless bitter sea wasteland, and the West Huangshui meanders like a thin belt.

The Hugu Gate was very tightly checked, which made people feel a tense atmosphere. Lei Shaoxuan suddenly realized that this was the front line, the place where Xihu of the Northern Wei Dynasty fought battle.

After entering the city, the city is bustling with activity. Shops are lined up, inns, pawnshops, medical halls, green buildings, cloth shops, grain shops...... Bustling, cars and horses circulating, quite prosperous.

Lei Shaoxuan was surprised to find that among the merchants, there were all kinds of people.

For the first time, Lei Shaoxuan saw dark-skinned people, all dressed in black robes, some of whom had veils on their faces; there were also people from the Western Regions wearing animal skins, driving tall camels, and camels moving around, making the sound of jingling bells; some driving large herds of cattle and sheep, shouting, mingling with the crowd, and pedestrians dodging one after another. ......

All kinds of buying and selling, one after another, noisy and lively, as if it is a metropolis in the mainland, only all kinds of people remind that this is the border pass.

Passing through such a lively city, Ma Shaoteng suddenly became nervous, threaded everyone's chains together, and guarded them strictly.

The procession made its way down the streets, punctuated by people who were watching the excitement and booed, and good deeds threw all sorts of things at the prisoners, such as leaves, garbage, clods of dirt, and eggs. Lei Shaoxuan then remembered that they were prisoners.

So, Lei Shaoxuan lowered his head, remained silent, and walked forward behind the prisoners, hiding the iron chain in his hand in his sleeve.

After passing through the city, we came to a large camp on the western outskirts of the city, which was the final destination of the trip - the Bitter Sea Death Row Camp.

Everyone became nervous, Lei Shaoxuan was put back on the wooden flail, and when he arrived in a new place, Ma Shaoteng could no longer take care of him, and Lei Shaoxuan suddenly hesitated.

The death row camp was large, with a huge barracks enclosed by a thick wooden fence. Inside the wooden fence, rows of sharp horse-repellent piles are connected to form a fence wall, and between the outer fence, a wide passage is separated from the outside fence, which is used by the guarding sergeants to patrol the passage, and the horse-repelling stakes can delay the escape of the fugitives.

Every few dozen steps in the passage, there are sergeants standing with swords and guns, and they are heavily guarded.

After passing through the fence of the horse-repellent pile, you will enter the death row.

In the death row camp, the tents are arranged neatly, most of the tents are simple and dilapidated, and around the tents, near the fence, several high platforms are erected, which are watchtowers for surveillance.

The tent floor was muddy and dirty, sewage flowed sideways, garbage and feces everywhere, and the stench was so stinking that it seemed to have been left unattended for hundreds of years.

Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and a thought surged in Lei Shaoxuan's heart—hell.

The newly arrived prisoners and escorted sergeants lined up on the school grounds for handover.

Ma Shaoteng followed behind a lieutenant to hand over the prisoners, and the prisoners lined up to identify the crimes.

When Lei Shaoxuan's name was clicked, the captain glanced at Lei Shaoxuan, but he was not surprised, he just sighed, this is another unlucky juvenile delinquent.

Although Lei Shaoxuan is young, he has not been in the death row camp, but most of them will not live long, and even if he lives, it is better to live than to die, but this is not something that a lieutenant can manage.

Roll call and body examination, removing chains, shackles, lectures, quilts, prison clothes, no one looked at Lei Shaoxuan more, obviously a death row prisoner of his age is not a special case.

The prisoners were pressed by the soldiers and walked around the tents.

With fear and uneasiness, Lei Shaoxuan frequently looked back at Hu Youde and Yu Zheng, trying to find some comfort and support for himself, but as his footsteps got farther and farther, their figures became more and more blurred.

Don't see them anymore, Lei Shaoxuan burst into tears.

Hu Youde was wearing a sergeant's uniform, posing as a sergeant and standing in the sergeant ranks, his face anxious but helpless.

Finally walked away, and I couldn't see Beichuan's sergeant team anymore. The sergeant's scolding and the prisoner's pushing made Lei Shaoxuan finally realize that his fate had turned a new page.
