Lu Fenghe's words were categorical, and he didn't even explain what he was looking for, only said: "It must be found, and it must be brought back." ”

Hongchen also agreed without saying a word.

Although Xiao Heng looked at their expressions as if he was looking at two crazy people, he still said that he would not leave.

Hongchen persuaded him for a long time, Xiao Heng wanted to speak and stopped, but he was stunned that he must follow.

So I had no choice but to take him as a guide to continue climbing Mount Kinabalu.

"What must be found?"

Against the wind and snow, Hongchen tied the fur blanket tightly to the wind and asked softly.

Their backs had just disappeared into the wind and snow, and a few people rolled down the hillside next to them, found a leeward place, took out some charcoal from their bags, lit a fire, and rested next to each other panting.

Several people looked very embarrassed.

Sitting in the center was a young man of only fifteen or sixteen years old, his right hand was fractured, and the corners of his clothes were stained with blood, and he was also in a trance, with a little panic on his face.

"Are you afraid?"

Opposite the fire, a middle-aged man in his thirties glanced at the boy and asked softly.

The young man glared, and his cheeks turned red: "I'm only, not yet." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being afraid."

The middle-aged man sighed, "We have forty brothers who have come out this time, and they are all first-class experts in the rivers and lakes. Mr. Feng, who followed Cai Xiang's birth and death for more than ten years, returned to Dayong from Beiyan, don't want to get any benefits from us, but since entering the Snow Mountain, we have chased him twice, and the first time we broke ten people. The second time, there were only six of us left, not to mention you, even me, and I was terribly afraid. ”

The young man didn't speak, his eyes were slightly red, and he said after a while: "He doesn't feel good either...... In the snowy mountains, you can't survive. ”

He trembled unconsciously, thinking of the person who killed people with a sword, and made people look at it with a fairy spirit.

He was so thin and thin, his face was so pale. He's probably going to die. He was going to die in the snowy mountains, but why didn't he leave?

He is extremely light, and the people of Huangquanmen are naturally good at walking mountain roads. It would have been easy for him to escape. Why bother to hold on.

The boy was desperately muttering that the man was going to die. But in his mind, what came to mind was a strange image.

The man was full of fairy spirit, and the snow-white mink coat on his body was dyed red. It was dark, standing on the cliff, and there were more than a dozen masked people in white lying around him, and large patches of blood mixed with snow flowed sideways.

A few shadows were running wildly in front, and he didn't chase them, just looked at them coldly and indifferently, his eyes were empty.

There was a young man's face in the white shadow, it was his own face, the face was frightened and inexplicable, and it was indescribably complicated, but the eyes were amazingly bright.

The boy had a strange feeling that the owner of this face, who he might never forget for the rest of his life, would henceforth be his longing, even a mountain entrenched in his heart, and perhaps a mountain that he could never step over again......

The man didn't look at them in embarrassment, he was expressionless, he opened his hand, caught a large snowflake, gently pressed it on his long hanging hair, crushed and brushed it, his movements were slow and graceful, not like standing in such a Jedi, to like brushing the stamens that fell on his shoulders in the Jiangnan flowers.

"Who is he?"

The boy knows the rules, they carry out the mission, if they need to kill someone, they don't ask the origin, they don't ask the name, even if they are relatives and friends, they can kill them, but after all, he is young, and he is still curious.

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, with a wry smile on his face, and he didn't blame him: "He is Lu Fenghe, the young master of Huangquanmen, in fact, he has nothing to say, it's just a sword in someone else's hand, it's not him who we want to kill, but another person, his name is Lin Xu, you must firmly remember this name, if he doesn't die this time, we will probably deal with him often in the future." ”

Talking about the old things in the rivers and lakes on such a snowy day, the mood of the people here will also become a little calmer.

"To say that this Lin Xu, before being accepted into the door by Mr. Guigu, he was actually already famous in the rivers and lakes, he was still young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, he did a big thing, in order to avenge the old Mr. Ouyang of the White Horse Gate who only had one side, he disguised himself and infiltrated the rebellious of Qianmen, the thunderbolt Lei Hong's lair, and killed Lei Hong by himself, you know, since he betrayed a thousand doors, Lei Hong has been very cautious, and easily does not let anyone get close, he also has high martial arts, and he also carries a thunderbolt pill, which contains poison, At that time, Lin Xu was still a teenager and didn't know martial arts at all, maybe because of this, Lei Hong didn't have too much vigilance against him, but he was really able to succeed in one fell swoop, and he retreated after killing someone, which has always been one of the mysteries in the rivers and lakes. ”

When the middle-aged man spoke, he sighed slightly, "There is a kind of person who is born different from ordinary people...... He met with the law wind lotus who scared you so much that he is still trembling now, after he had been put into the door of Mr. Guigu, at that time, he had not yet become a teacher, and occasionally some people called him, but it was just a sentence of the third son of Guigu, with the power of the master and the senior brothers, no one dared to underestimate it, but he did not set foot in the rivers and lakes, it is said that Lin Xu had a strange disease in his mother's womb, and Mr. Guigu could not be cured, only a strange grass growing in a poisonous cave in the 100,000 mountains could be cured, and the test of his teacher was to enter the 100,000 mountains, find the strange grass, and heal himself. ”

"Hoo ......"

Teenagers may not understand.

The other few people present broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the name of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and even the heavy snow couldn't cover it.

That place is the Netherworld Ghost Domain, when the great grandmaster Li Tao once went in once, after coming out, he retreated for ten years to recuperate, and he didn't even dare to mention it, that was the great grandmaster, in the eyes of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, he was a god.

"That Lin Xu really entered the 100,000 Mountains alone, and he didn't die? In addition to the people of Huangquanmen, who else can do this? ”

They are very incredible, they really don't understand, why Lin Xu won't die after entering the 100,000 mountains, and he doesn't know any advanced martial arts!

The middle-aged man's face was also complicated: "Not only did he not die, but he also found Huangquanmen, and coaxed the young master of the family to die for him to bravely enter the drug cave and find strange grass." He also searched for rare medicinal materials for him, and even the treasures treasured by the master of Huangquan Gate were also presented with both hands, and finally cured his chronic illness. ”

He let out a long sigh, "When Lin Xu left, the young master sent him thousands of miles away, and after he was delivered, he stayed by his side as a guard, and for many years he roamed in the shadow of the sword and sword, I don't know how many hardships and dangers he has experienced, such a friendship." The righteousness in it. We people probably can't understand it, and we can't figure it out. ”

“…… If I could, I really didn't want to go against this kind of person. Even we are afraid. The middle-aged man's eyes were dark.

But something. After all, it's not up to them to call the shots. Just like now, they have no grievances with Lin Xu, and they have nothing to do with Lu Fenghe. But the above sentence is not a trek through mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles, and doing murder business.

The young man's eyes were shining, and he was fascinated by what he heard.

The young man always yearns for this Jianghu, he belongs to the category that has not been erased by the iron and blood of the organization, and he still has his own longing for the Jianghu, and now he is facing the opponent, it is obvious that he has everything worthy of his envy.

"Are we going to continue to chase the lotus?"

“…… No need, we only have these few left, what can we do if we catch up? Besides, it is not enough for him to get out of the snow mountain, enough for us to go back and have a business with Cai Xiangye, let's go, I am not happy to stay in such a ghost place for one more day. ”

The group desperately fled from the snowy mountains, leaving behind a pile of corpses of their companions, and wondered if there would be a chance to find them back for burial in their lifetimes.

…………

"There is a kind of lotus flower that grows only in the extremely cold cold pool in the snowy mountain, ink-colored, someone has seen it before, and it is named Mo Yulian, and the lotus seeds in it can solve the thirteen strangest and most sinister poisons in the world."

Lu Fenghe dragged Hongchen's hand, and he didn't walk fast, and the white gas he spit out covered his eyebrows, making his face more and more unclear, and his voice seemed difficult.

Hongchen frowned when he heard this: "I've heard of it too, but this thing is not a legend?" ”

She thought about it carefully: "Legend has it that there is a creature called the snow monkey in the snow mountain, the big one is half a human height, the small one is only the size of a palm, according to legend, it is the envoy of the mountain god, can turn into a human form, their staple food is the lotus seed of Mo Yulian, but they also like to eat meat, especially women and children, many people think they are monsters." ”

"I don't know about the snow monkey, Mo Yulian must have it."

Ritsu Fenghe said softly.

Hongchen was speechless.

A good one must have, how domineering?

But...... A group of guards were so tired that they almost rolled their eyes, and the big dogs slowed down and pressed harder to keep her body temperature longer.

"Where does Mo Yulian grow?"

"I don't know."

Ritsu Feng He frowned.

Hongchen was helpless, turned his head and asked Xiao Heng: "Do you know if there are any lakes or anything like that in the snow mountain?" "Since it's a lotus, it must be aquatic, maybe if you find a lake, you'll be lucky enough to find it.

Her luck still seems to be very good, and before she can see it, she jumps out on her own.

Xiao Heng frowned, didn't speak for a long time, and was hesitating when the guards exploring the path in front suddenly shouted: "Someone!" ”

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw several people sliding down the snow slope not far away, all of them were black cloaks, which were very conspicuous in the heavy snow.

Xiao Heng's eyes were okay, and when he looked closely, he frowned: "It's them?" They are thieves, passing by our village a few days ago, Granny Hua kindly gave them a cup of hot tea, but they stole Granny Hua's things! It was a map that had been passed down for generations, but I didn't expect them to steal it. ”

Hongchen was stunned.

These people who slid down in front of them obviously didn't feel like thieves at all, and they didn't show any hostility, and as soon as they met, they laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I finally saw people, this ghost place!" ”

Xiao Heng said angrily: "I don't know you, Granny Hua said, you have to stay away from the thief when you meet it, even if you pretend, you have to pretend not to recognize it." ”

Sure enough, he turned his head, and he didn't see the expression of these people.

The people who slipped down on the opposite side were all bearded and tall, and the first one rubbed his nose and smiled: "What thief, obviously we took back our own things and paid the storage fee, but the thing was damaged by a small half, and we haven't settled the accounts with the flower woman, by the way, have you seen my niece?" She should also settle in your village. ”

Hongchen suddenly understood—the lady who had been with them when they came out of the village. It should be in the same group as these people in front of you.

It seems that Xiao Heng said that they hadn't seen other people's uncles, and they were also fooling people.

Xiao Heng hesitated, lowered his head and didn't look at them, but whispered: "Your niece went to look for you, she entered the mountain a few days ago, and we separated after the pass." ”

The man was originally sitting, but he stood up abruptly when he heard the words: "A few days ago? No way, I didn't see Yushan. ”

He suddenly got anxious, grabbed Xiao Heng's collar, and said in a panic: "Are you ...... Know what? ”

Hongchen stretched out his hand. I just wanted to stop it. Seeing Xiao Heng staring at the man's eyes, the man suddenly withdrew his hand and took a deep breath as if he was frightened. Whispered: "It's me who is too anxious." It's just that my little niece is weak. It's a woman again, this snowy mountain is not what she should have come in, so be it. Why don't you help me find them? ”

His voice was low, but with a kind of commanding spirit, as if this person was high all the year round, and he should not be an ordinary ordinary person.

Hongchen smiled and said politely: "Don't worry, this gentleman, the snow-capped mountains are vast, and there is ice and snow as far as the eye can see, so it is easy to get lost. If so, why don't you get out of the snowy mountains first and then wait quietly? If your niece can't find you, she will go back by herself. ”

The man's face was a little strange, and he shook his head slowly, "No, if she goes into the mountain, she will definitely find me, and she will never get lost." There may be some accident now, as long as you go back to the vicinity of the camp I just had, there will definitely be a clue. ”

After speaking, he stared at Shi Hengdao again, "Little brother, we are all surnamed Shi, we were a family a hundred years ago, and now that child is in danger, please ...... They helped us out. ”

Hongchen raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "You really have confidence in your niece. She felt strange in the past few days, the lady kept saying that she was anxious to find her uncle, and it was true that she was in a hurry, and she seemed to have a clear goal when she entered the snowy mountain, and now it seems that she really knows where her uncle is, and she doesn't know what these people are doing in the mountains!

But don't bother to care, Xu is also a treasure hunter, according to the normal rules, it is necessary to help each other in the mountains, but no one will ask the purpose of strangers.

As for finding someone, forget it.

"Okay."

Lu Fenghe said suddenly, his hand stretched out lightly, and on the man's coat, he removed a swarthy oval leaf.

The leaves look a lot like fakes, but the veins are clear, and it's very special.

Hongchen: "...... I said, I'm really lucky. ”

Go back and go into the casino immediately to gamble, without any means, maybe she can win a big mansion in the blink of an eye, luck is too good.

The man who claimed to be surnamed Shi suddenly looked happy: "I have thanked you here for my unlucky niece first, come on, everyone rest first, I brought good wine, strong, absolutely palatable, drink some to warm up." ”

With a smile on his face, he took out a large bamboo tube from his bag with great courtesy, and some wooden, bamboo cups, and one person stuffed a cup.

As soon as the wine is poured out, the aroma is overflowing, and the liquor presents a particularly clear yellow color, which is a fine wine.

Even Hongchen couldn't help but drink two glasses, but Lu Fenghe didn't drink a drop of wine, his old habit, except when Lin Xu was there, was willing to drink a little, and never drank when he went out.

Xiao Heng didn't drink either, he was silent for a long time, his eyes were complicated, and finally he relaxed, and said angrily: "For Miss Hongchen's sake." ”

The man didn't care, and after a while, he became familiar with the people around him, he claimed to be a merchant in the business of medicinal materials and skins, and often traveled all over the world, and he did not shy away from it, and directly said that he came to the mountains this time to see if there were any cold medicinal materials in the Snow Mountain, and if he could get some rare birds and beasts, he would make a fortune.

"No way, my family has a large population, and it's not easy to support my family."

Boss Shi said with a smile.

He looks like a businessman, paying attention to harmony and making money, even Hongchen thinks this person is a character.

After resting for a while, the dogs had rested enough, drank the water, stood up and shook their hair, and everyone packed their bags and stood up and continued walking.

Unconsciously, a group of people surnamed Shi walked to the front, and Hongchen was a little behind.

Xiao Heng walked beside that Boss Shi

"Ahem......"

Coughing, Hongchen gave Lu Fenghe a look.

Ritsu Fenghe nodded.

Find something and retreat immediately, not to get involved with the group of people in front of you. Even that guide, Xiao Heng, it's best not to trust it too much.

They obviously have a special tacit understanding, don't look at Xiao Heng has always been very enthusiastic about Hongchen and his party, and he is particularly cold and self-contained towards the other group, but both sides obviously hide secrets, especially the niece who is looking for his uncle, and the uncle who is looking for his niece, is even more chattering.

"I don't know if it's Mo Yulian's leaves on that person's body."

Lu Fenghe said suddenly, and the expression on his face was a little confused.

Hongchen was stunned. She had never seen Xiaohe's expression like this. But in an instant, it was cold again.

She couldn't help but smile: "It's cute." ”

In fact, it didn't take long, and the sun was still in mid-air, but they all had a kind of grandeur. It feels like walking in the abyss. It's as if they've been walking in this vast expanse of endless snow for a year. Ten years, or even forever, can no longer escape.

But Lu Fenghe's little expression of confusion was this. to make her mood soothe better.

"It's here!"

Ritsu Feng Lotus stopped suddenly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a slight smile on his face.

Before the words fell, the group in front of them stopped, and Boss Shi greeted: "Everyone, pay attention to help me find it, if my niece really enters the snow mountain, it must be near here." ”

There was no need for him to remind them, and everyone was taken aback by what they saw.

There are trees, water, and overwhelming water birds in the snow-capped mountains, black, red, white, large and small, dragging long feathers, flying in the mountains, like elves, Hongchen took a breath, and the heart was warm.

Obviously, the snowflakes are still there, but there are countless flowers blooming in the snow, and they look colorful in the sun.

"Oh my God! You see, the lake is steaming. ”

A mist shrouded a large expanse of blue lake.

It's not hot, but the steam is hazy, enveloping the person, wet, but not very uncomfortable.

There was a long roar in the sky, Hongchen looked up and saw two cranes flying, Lu Fenghe stopped, gasped slightly, and suddenly turned around: "Ah Chen, you sang that song to me, it is the one you sang to Xiaolin in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year." ”

Hongchen was stunned, smiled slightly, and really started his singing voice: "...... The mountains and rivers are lonely, the dream is broken, the return of the Yellow Spring, and the lonely road is long...... Cooking wine and yellow sorghum song, in the past years, the sword was free, hand in hand to travel, only hated the world is troubled, the world is difficult to be peaceful, the king is righteous, full of blood, my sword, a sword light cold ......"

She didn't have any lyrics in the mountains and fields, she still listened to Senior Brother Lin sing blindly back then, and she didn't remember the words accurately enough, and she forgot the tune, but fortunately, she sang it casually, and she was very happy to listen to it.

Even Boss Shi, who was not fascinated by the beautiful scenery at all in front of him and had a serious face, couldn't help but listen.

"Ahh

Listening and listening, Boss Shi suddenly stopped and pointed ahead.

Everyone was also stunned, and the mountain cracked open, revealing a huge snow cave, and everyone looked at each other.

"This is Yushan's bracelet."

Boss Shi suddenly picked up a green bracelet from the ground, his eyes were sheng, and he said sharply, "Yushan, Yushan!" It's bad, there's something weird about this cave, she didn't prepare anything, and it's definitely bad to go in. ”

Shouting, he slid lightly, slid down the slope, and slipped out of the snow cave.

Ryu Fenghe also jumped down.

In the middle of the cave there was a stream, very thin, with some small pieces of leaves, branches, and other strange things floating on it, and even water birds standing on the surface of the water and frolicking, maybe what they were looking for was in it.

As soon as they entered the snow cave, everyone was stunned.

They had never seen such a high, beautiful cave, and from inside it seemed that they could not even see the top, but could only see the starry sky.

Hongchen squinted, and suddenly felt that this place was somewhat familiar, just a very special feeling, and he couldn't remember it if he thought about it carefully.

It's like another world, and the whole snow cave is made of ice and snow but it doesn't seem very cold, and the stream in the middle gradually turns into a river, and the river meanders, extending in all directions, extending in all directions, one after another small caves, dense, too many to count.

Everyone didn't dare to move forward for a while, it was all snow-white, and who knew if they would get lost after entering.

Hongchen sighed: "If that lady really entered this place, maybe she would really be trapped." ”

She vaguely heard that Boss Shi's breathing was very short, his eyes seemed to be shining, it was really shining, there were words in his mouth, and the whole person was fanatical, and it seemed that he couldn't remember the lady he had been looking for just now.

Xiao Heng stomped his feet: "This place can't be entered, let's go quickly, if your niece really goes inside, she can't find it if she wants to." ”

There was a faint hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

Everyone was also apprehensive, but Boss Shi had already led people to rush in without saying a word, and Lu Fenghe also took the lead, and Hongchen had to follow closely.

I don't know how long I walked - "Hee-hee-hee-hee!" ”

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from inside, like a child's laughter, Xiao Heng shuddered, and said softly: "There is something, there is something in front!" (To be continued.) )
