The old man smiled and said: "Haha, the old man is a person who must be fruitful in his words, you should be glad to answer my question", the old man paused and straightened his clothes and said: "Your name is taken by Lingzun Lingtang for you?

"It was my mother who chose the name for me, my father and mother died early, I was afraid that I would not be able to survive, so I took a nice and auspicious name, which is to ask God to reward me with food." After hearing this, the old man arched his hand at the position of the small broken thatched hut, turned his head and said to Life-free: "Lingtang is really a wonderful person, people's lives are so fragile at one time, but you are called Life-free but you have a few more lives than others, wonderful." ”

The young man's eyes were blank, and he slowly squatted down and sat on the ground holding his legs, looking at the table in the room in a daze, distracted.

"Okay, that's the end of the idle talk, you said that you have entered the mountain many times, but the mysterious Xueyin Mountain?

The young man collected his thoughts, thought for a while, and said: "Xueyin Mountain is the name of this entire large mountain range, and the different peaks and peaks inside the Xueyin Mountain have different names, and the Huitou Valley is between the Broken Cloud Tip and the Black Tooth Peak, and the surrounding mountains are winding but mainly surrounded by the ridges of the Broken Cloud Tip and the Black Tooth Peak. The tip of the broken cloud is close to the south and the black tooth peak is in the north, and the whole Huitou Valley is in an east-west direction, and the broken cloud tip is too high and too majestic, which directly covers the Huitou Valley. ”

Xueyin Mountain is the biggest barrier to the northward expansion of the Shenwu Empire of the Tianwei Empire, the Xueyin Mountain Range stretches, the dangerous peaks and cliffs are numerous, and there are even demon beasts infested from time to time, but no one has really seen it, even if it is false. However, the two empires have shown considerable respect for the mountain range, and there are few patrols, and no major mining has ever been conducted.

"The older generation said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the livelihood of the near mountain town basically comes from Xueyin Mountain, and the old people often tell us to revere Xueyin Mountain, just for the sake of livelihood The god of Xueyin Mountain will not punish us. And the story of the Valley of Turning Back did not arise for a long time, at most a hundred years. With no worries, he held the warm jade bead in his right hand and looked up at the old man.

"According to what you mean, in the past, the so-called Huitou Valley was accessible, but in the past hundred years, there have been abnormal changes?" The old man said curiously.

"Yes, the reason why the tip of the broken cloud is named the tip of the broken cloud is because it is so tall and majestic, and the wind and rain clouds from the south can't get around it at all, so it is smashed on the tip of the broken cloud. And because the rock at the top of the mountain is a black rock, and no matter how cold the top of the mountain is, it will not be completely frozen, and you can always see the miserable black peak, like the sharp teeth of a giant beast. These two peaks are very special, even outsiders can hardly admit that they are surrounded by the two of them, and there may have been some of the best wintering pastures in the Niuyang Mountains on the outskirts of Xueyin Mountain. But from the old man's father in the east of the town went into the mountains to herd sheep, and the sheep came back, and no one came back. The town sent people to search the mountains, and finally found the valley of Huitou, and found the charred corpses of sheep and people, it is said that the bones looked like they wanted to climb up the road between the two mountains, but they died on the way, which was too frightening and frightening. From then on, the people of the town never dared to come near again. Originally, the valley did not have a name, but since then he has taken the name of Huitou Valley, telling the younger generations to turn back quickly when they arrive in this valley, and their lives are at stake. However, I haven't seen these old stories, they were all told to me by Aunt Gu. The other day, though, I did see the snow slowly melting on the steep slope on the edge of the valley and the snow line slowly rising. Looking down from above, the fog is getting more and more eerie. Scratching his head, he said.

After hearing this, the old man twisted his beard and walked back and forth in place, muttering in his mouth, and the young man couldn't hear clearly, so he simply lowered his head and studied the beads in his hand, anyway, it seemed that the old man would not do anything to him for the time being.

"Forget it, that's the only way," he said, picking up something from his wide cuffs, and handed it over: "Boy, I have two hundred taels of silver tickets here, this one hundred taels is the reward that the old man promised you to speak honestly to you, and the other one hundred taels is to let you take me on a trip to this Huitou Valley, do you dare to accept it?"

"Lead the way for you?"

"Yes, as long as you take the old man to Nahuitou Valley, you can take these silver tickets immediately. ”

Worry-free took the ticket with both hands, "You're not afraid of me, you ran away with the money?"

"If you can run away from the monk and run away from the temple? This bit of worldly money is just a little higher than the value of sand and soil to us, but if you run away, you bullshit chivalrous gang will have to pay for your escape. The old man said with a sneer.

"Despicable, aren't you bad at killing bloodthirsty?"

"Hehe, the old man said that being a person and doing things as you like is at will, and for a cultivator like me, the restraint of ordinary etiquette is extremely small. The old man raised his eyebrows.

"Cultivator?" the young man muttered, his gaze returned from the silver ticket to the old man's face, "It's almost winter, Xueyin Mountain is not so easy to enter, it will take at least a day to prepare, dry food, clothes, fire folds and everything else must be prepared!"

"Now that the money is in your hands, you can prepare whatever you want, you go and prepare, you only need to prepare your own, and at the latest at midnight tonight, I will set off. ”

"I know, then old man, you will rest in the cold house, and I will prepare everything that can be used and other things. ”

Knowing that he was bound to be strong, he turned around and ran out of the house to the market. But thanks to the two hundred snowflakes and silver money in the hand, things are easy to do, and it will be over when you buy it, but it will not be delayed, and you can take a look at the good things that you didn't dare to buy before you were killed.

"This kid is not very old, but he should make a decision when he does things, and some of his neighbors do not have the courage, and he can suddenly get angry and angry, and he can hit people," after the old man's palm was turned, a piece of jade with excellent texture appeared in his hand, and the jade appeared in the old man's hand, and the air immediately moistened and even smelled the smell of water vapor on a rainy day, and the old man said to himself while playing with the jade: "Green Hancui will tremble slightly at the moment when this kid is angry, does this kid have a superior water vein or fire vein?" In another year and a half, the year's disciple competition will start again, and those three nerds are more stubborn and stupid than the other, I'm afraid I can't help it, it's better to ......"

"Forget it, the broken mirror is imminent, I don't have time to think about anything else, let's see what this kid's heart is, and then it's not too late to decide. If this time Huitougu is not the old man's chance, he can only go back to the sect and find another way. The old man looked at the life that had run away all the way, and said silently in his heart.

The young man prepared his things, exchanged the remaining silver tickets for scattered silver, and shouted when he came back and passed by Gu Da Niang's house, saying that he had something to do in the past two days and didn't come to eat, and put thirty taels of silver at the bottom of the bowl in the same way. After running away, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Aunt Gu's house.

Men don't kneel, unless they give birth and raise their lives, the young man thanks Aunt Gu for her kindness over the years, and it is unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse to go to Xueyin Mountain. If he can't come back, the money in his hand will be saved, and he will be able to protect his family and many little beggars in the next few years, and it will not be so difficult.

The young man bit his lip, turned to Wu Dazhuang's house, and gave the rest of the silver to Da Zhuang, he knew that Da Zhuang was honest in appearance but careful and steady, even if he was gone, the little beggars would live without worry in a few years with these hundred and ten taels of silver.

The moon and stars are scarce, and he carries a small bag of things back to the hut without worry. The old man leaned against the door and tasted the wine. The young man wondered if the old man drank the same immortal brew as the legend, but he didn't dare to ask about the immortals.

"In order to get on the road quickly, I rented two horses in the north of the city, and I also hired two hunters who had hunted near the valley of Huitou to accompany me, and at this time of the season I gave more money, so that they would be willing to accompany us at night. ”

"Careful and thoughtful, the old man gave the young man a few more points in his heart. "No need, let them wait there, let's go directly, you close your eyes. The old man couldn't help but say, grabbed his life, grabbed his shoulder, stomped his foot suddenly, went straight to the sky, rose straight up three or four hundred zhang, and then hovered, looked left and right, identified the direction, and quickly flew north.

The young man suddenly felt the cold wind hitting his face, the cold air was frantically poured into his stomach, his eyes were foggy and he couldn't open them, and he only felt that he was about to faint with cold all over his body.

"Haha, stinky boy, the first time you fly in the sky, the cold wind and cold are uncomfortable, this is the strength of your resentful cultivator, as long as you are willing to beg me, I will protect you Ichigo to make you not so uncomfortable, beg me, please, please!" The old man tilted his head and sneered at the young man.

The boy pursed his lips hatefully, turned his head to the other side and did not speak. "Heh, if you have a backbone, then the old man will let you blow the cold wind for a while and enjoy it more, haha. ”

The old man suddenly increased his speed again, and he felt that the cold wind was violently attacking, and his entire lungs were filled with knife-like gale slashing fiercely, and he couldn't breathe in or breathe.

The old man flew very fast, and it would have taken a person to ride a horse and walk all day before he could enter the mountain, but in a moment or three you could see the Snow Yin Mountain Range, which was wrapped in a gloomy mountain like a beast and pressed towards you.

Thinking of the strange and strange talk of Xueyin Mountain, the old man also cautiously lowered his speed, at this time, he took a few breaths and turned red, and coughed violently a few times, before he raised his head to look at the mountain not far away, lowered his head to look at the trees on the ground as small as mustard seeds, and turned back to see the town of Jinshan, this wonderful experience seemed to open up his new world.

After all, the boy is a teenager, and the immortal mentioned in the commentary is by his side, and he also flies away with himself in the sky, and in a flash, he can go thousands of miles away, making this precocious young man who is twelve or thirteen years old want to scream excitedly.

Approaching Daliang Mountain, the southern gateway of Xueyin Mountain, the old man slowly fell with his life, stretched out his hand and threw his life on the ground to let him cough and wheez, took out the wine jug and took a small sip, and waited for his life to ease up.

"Take a sip, warm up, and lead the way with a mattress. The old man took out another flask and threw it to the young man, and he raised his head to carefully study the terrain of the mountain.

The young man had never drunk wine, but he also knew that the more fragrant the wine, the better the wine, so he sniffed it carefully and took a sip, and the cold aroma of the wine rushed straight to his brain, and he swallowed it slowly, and the wine turned into an ice line and fell sharply into the stomach, and then a hot breath overflowed from the stomach, and the aroma of the wine suddenly hit his head.

The boy covered his head and felt dizzy, but the heat dispersed from his mouthpiece and stomach, and his hands and feet, which were originally cold, also warmed. Now the fool also knew that this wine was worth a lot of money, so the young man stood up and bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you for the old gentleman's wine, I see that the old gentleman loves wine and has prepared a lot of wine, so this pot of wine will be given to the juniors, right?"

"Well, the wine has also been drunk, the breath has calmed down, bring your things, and go into the mountains!", the old man did not look back and replied calmly, the young man lowered his head and packed up his package, and there was no smile on the corner of the old man's mouth.

Although it is not winter, the autumn nights in the northern region are still very cold, let alone climbing Xueyin Mountain at night. The old man followed not far from the young man's height, but he floated slightly in the air, and his toes were three or two inches above the ground. Daliang Mountain is the first peak in the south of Xueyin Mountain, and the snow is still thin, and the deeper the snow goes into the mountain.

After walking for two hours in a row and extinguishing three torches, I finally couldn't help but look back at the old man and said, "Old man, take a rest, I'm not a cultivator like you, the road is still far away, let me take a break." Wait to get better. ”

The old man didn't speak, nodded and agreed, and said in his heart: "I thought that the second torch would be extinguished, I thought that this little guy would be tired, but I didn't expect to be able to persist until now, looking at the bone age is only twelve or thirteen years old, and I can endure hardships, which is really good." The old man recognized the young man a little more.

The boy hammered his legs, added a trench coat, took a sip of wine, rested for half an hour, and then lit the fourth torch and continued on his way. I walked around and rested like this, and finally arrived at the edge of the mountain path on the north side of the valley at noon the next day.

Although it was noon and the sun was not very hot, it could not shine through the thick fog in the valley. The young man turned his head to look at the old man, who didn't speak, raised his head to look around, and smiled: "Heh, what a phantom array arranged with mountain terrain." He rubbed his nose again and said, "This faint demonic aura can be hidden from the old man," the old man poked his head and looked at the bottom of the valley, "It is a large array full of demonic power, and it is this strange Xueyin Mountain, it seems that the demon beasts are guarding these certain heavenly and earthly treasures?" The old man twisted his beard under his chin, and said in his heart: "It seems that the so-called chance is this!?"
