The cold wind was cold, the snow was flying, a carriage came from the north, the rolling wheels of the carriage crushed the ice and snow on the ground, and the crunchy sound made this monotonous world so monotonous that only white was left, and it no longer seemed so deserted.

In the carriage, a man in a mink coat, who looked to be thirty-four or five years old, was stretching his legs as much as he could, perhaps because he had been sitting in the carriage for too long, and his legs were a little numb.

Fortunately, the carriage is spacious enough, warm enough, and comfortable enough, the only drawback is that there is no one to talk to, which makes this long journey seem particularly lonely.

Suddenly, the man lifted the curtain and shouted to the driver who was driving, "Little one, where are we?"

According to the meaning of the man's words, the driver should be a teenager, not a real driver.

Because the wind and snow were too strong and the weather was very cold, the young man wrapped himself tightly, and he also wore a wolf's head hat on his head, and his entire face was wrapped in a scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes.

"Back to Your Highness, about sixty miles ahead, it will be Luoxia Pass. ”

The young man replied, but he did not look back because he had to concentrate on driving, and he immediately said, "However, about twenty miles further, you will pass through a dangerous place." ”

The meaning of the young man's words was to tell the noble man in the car that this was a dangerous place, so that the noble man could be prepared.

This noble man is Jiang Heng, the third prince of Jiang State, who has led troops to garrison the northern border of Jiang State all the year round, and is brave and invincible against the extremely cold snow country.

In the past ten years, because of Jiang Heng's deterrence, not a single soldier in the entire Extremely Cold Snow Country dared to cross Jiang Guo by half a step.

This time, Jiang Heng was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work, which was also the first time he left the northern border of Jiang in ten years.

It's just that because Jiang Heng has military power in his hands, once he returns to Kyoto, it will make a new pattern appear in Kyoto, so there are many people in the court who hope that he will not come back.

So all of a sudden, the entire capital of Jiang began to surge.

"Twenty miles further on, the dangerous place should be called the Burial Dragon Valley, right?" Jiang Heng asked the young man who was driving.

Because the terrain of the Burial Dragon Valley is peculiar, there is only one road running through the north and south of the entire canyon, if the war is approaching, only need to order a general to guard the mouth of the valley, which can play the role of a husband and a man, so Jiang Heng has a deep impression of the Burial Dragon Valley.

"Your Highness is right, it's called the Burial Dragon Valley. The boy was still focused on driving, and he didn't look back, but just answered.

"Hehe... Burial Dragon Valley, the place where you can bury dragons, is an absolute feng shui treasure. ”

Jiang Heng smiled and asked the young man driving, "How is it, are you afraid?"

The young man understood what Jiang Heng meant, this way forward, passing through many dangerous places, every place he passed, he would experience a fight, and Jiang Heng was originally accompanied by twenty-five horses, but now there are only two of them left.

The burial of the dragon valley ahead will be the last dangerous place of this trip, and those who have bad intentions, if they want to make another move, they will choose to do it in the burial dragon valley.

After the burial of the dragon valley, the road ahead will be unimpeded and will lead to Kyoto.

However, if those people really want to make a move, they will put all the remaining strength on this last dangerous place, so these two people will face the most serious situation.

However, there were only two of them left, so Jiang Heng asked the young man if he was afraid.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll die in the Valley of the Buried Dragons. The young man replied very sincerely, but after a change of words, he said: "But I'm afraid I have to go, I still have a lot of things to do, and returning to Kyoto, this is my only chance." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Heng laughed out loud and said, "Okay, if we can all live this time, when we arrive in Kyoto, what do you want to do, this hall will help you." ”

Although Jiang Heng is a prince, there are some things that he can't help, so the young man shook his head and said, "With all due respect, Your Highness, you really can't help me." ”

If Jiang Heng can help, then the young man will really not be polite, but it's a pity that Jiang Heng can't help.

The young man's name is Mo Li, a person from the capital, the son of the enemy of Jiang Guohuaihua, the son of the enemy of Mo Ren, and his mother died because of dystocia when he gave birth to him, so everyone said that he was the life of his mother.

And because he was born with a lack of nine veins and could not embark on the path of cultivation, his status in the Mo family was very low, and even some of the Mo family's relatives and nephews would command him and drink when they came to the Mo family.

Because he was disgusted with all this of the Mo family, when he was sixteen years old, Mo Li secretly left home and went to Biansai to join the army.

Mo Li was quite competitive, because he was brave in killing the enemy, and in just four years in Biansai, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain.

This is a military attache position with real power, with its own commanded troops, such as many generals, but only with the title of a general, many times, the general is not as effective as a captain.

Over the years in the army, Mo Li also tried to find a way to make up for his missing veins through various ways, so that he could step into cultivation, but every time he thought there was hope, the cruel reality would beat him all over his body.

Many people advised him to give up, but he persevered, believing that one day he would find a way to make up for the nine veins.

Obviously, finding a way to make up for the nine veins has become the meaning of Mo Li's life!

Xu is Mo Li's persistence moved the heavens, and when he was about to give up, he saw such a record in the ancient books, saying that thousands of years ago, someone in the Temple of Heavenly Destiny had studied a way to make up for the nine veins.

Mo Li saw hope again, and he decided to enter the Temple of Heavenly Destiny.

The Temple of the Mandate of Heaven is a religion that overrides all the countries of the Mandate of Heaven Continent, it is just a religion, although its power is monstrous, it does not interfere in the internal affairs of the countries and is supported by the countries.

While accepting offerings from the nations, the Temple of the Mandate of Heaven is also cultivating generations of young talents for the nations.

The young children of all countries are proud to be able to enter the Temple of Heavenly Destiny to study.

The Temple of Heavenly Mandate adheres to the principle of having education without class, so not all of the people recruited are talents with cultivation qualifications, even if they can't practice, as long as they pass the selection, they can also enter the Temple of Heavenly Mandate.

However, it is certain that as long as the people who pass the selection are all geniuses in various professional fields.

Every three years, the Temple of Heavenly Destiny will conduct a selection in various countries, and anyone who meets the age criteria can participate.

This year, the selection competition will start again, and there are only two months left before the official start of the competition.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so after Mo Li learned the news, he handed over the military power of the troops in his hands, and after reporting to the army, he set off to return to Beijing.

In view of Mo Li's outstanding performance in the army, the army also specially recommended him, which will make it much easier for him to do things after returning to Beijing.

Coincidentally, when General Mo Li left the barracks, the third prince Jiang Heng passed through the border army camp and needed to add a few guards, and Mo Li became one of the guards.

......

The carriage did not stop in the bitter cold wind, but continued to walk, and it was not long before the two men, a cart, and a horse drove into the Valley of the Buried Dragon.

The cold wind blew into the valley, perhaps because the area of the valley was too large, and the wind circulated in the valley, which actually set off the sound of thousands of troops and horses, so that the two people who had been in the army all year round in the carriage were quite excited.

"This burial dragon valley is really peculiar. Jiang Heng sighed.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a giant dragon rising from the valley, leading the dragon son and grandson to fight for the heavens, and finally defeated by the goddess of destiny, the whole army was wiped out, and the goddess was buried at the bottom of the valley. ”

The carriage kept moving forward, Mo Li sat on the frame, and while responding to Jiang Heng, he drew out his saber and a small grinding stone, poured some water on the grinding stone, and then began to sharpen his sword.

"Yo... I thought you were good at fighting, and you shouldn't know a few big characters, but I didn't expect you to know this legend, you should have read a lot of books!" Jiang Heng quipped to Mo Li.

"I haven't read a book for a few days, but when I'm bored, I occasionally flip through some books that record gonzos. "Don't leave the way.

The two of them traveled from north to south, and the further south they went, the warmer the weather became, and by this point, the heavy snow had long since disappeared, but the ground was still white.

It's just that the white is no longer dead, but a lot of green is dotted with vitality.

It's a pity that this already pitiful vitality is shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Suddenly, a murderous machine suddenly rose, the air seemed to freeze at this moment, and in the cold wind, a low sound suddenly sounded, and a feathered arrow tore the air from south to north, and attacked the carriage!
