"Didn't you say that Xiaoyao Mountain is a place that people who practice martial arts are afraid to go to?"

"Then what can I do, my fiancée is going to climb Xiaoyao Mountain, can I not climb it?" Shangguan Yuling rubbed Lu Li's hair helplessly. "As a fiancé, you should naturally protect your wife."

"Senior brother, you are so good." Lu Li smiled sweetly, holding Shangguan Yuling's arm and coquettishly.

Early the next morning, the group gathered outside Lu Li's house.

The whole carriage was loaded with their things, and Gong Chengqi and Liang Song were supposed to go with them, but because Liang Song was still young, they left Gong Chengqi to protect him. By the way, wait until the school year starts to help them take a few days off.

Three people, three horses, a carriage, and an old man set off in such a majestic manner.

As they left Dujing and headed northwest, they gradually felt the cold.

Dujing is located in the middle of the whole Liang, the climate is mild to the south, and the climate is cold to the north, especially in winter, this climate change is more obvious.

Xiaoyao Mountain is not particularly far from the capital, and the difficulty is that they have to climb the mountain.

When it was time to climb the mountain, all the horses and carriages were to be temporarily placed at the bottom of the mountain. They had to climb up on foot.

The reason why Xiaoyao Mountain has become a nightmare for many martial arts practitioners. It is because he is a steep terrain, not only is it difficult to climb up, but it is also difficult to climb down, and many people will die of exhaustion in this halfway up the mountain, and many people who want to learn martial arts from the Xiaoyao School are often defeated by the rugged and steep of Xiaoyao Mountain.

The group was still relatively slow to travel by carriage, but on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they had already reached the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain.

At this time, Xiaoyao Mountain is the coldest time of the year, and they can see the heavy snow almost halfway up the mountain just by standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking at the mountain.

"This is the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain, I haven't been here for many years, but I didn't expect it to be the same as it was, it hasn't changed at all."

A mountain peak is formed over the course of many years of geological change. Of course, after a short period of time, it will not change much.

They stayed that evening at an inn in the town, not far from the foot of the mountain.

They arranged the carriage and horses in the inn, and gave the boss and Xiao Er a sum of money to help take care of it.

After that, I stayed in the inn for the night, and prepared to get up early the next morning to start climbing.

"Are a few of the disciples who came to the Xiaoyao Sect to learn the arts?" This inn is not far from the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain, and the shopkeeper of the inn and Xiao Er have naturally seen a lot, because they admire the disciples of the Xiaoyao faction and rushed to learn the arts, "If you are here to learn the arts, then I still advise you to join another door as soon as possible, Xiaoyao Mountain is too rugged and difficult to climb." ”

"No, the shopkeeper, we are not here to learn from the teacher, we are here to visit the old man."

"I see, then good luck to you. When climbing the mountain, remember to dress thicker, and bring some water and dry food. The boss kindly reminded.

"Thank you for the reminder." After thanking the shopkeeper, they went back to their rooms.

At night, Lu Li felt the cold of Xiaoyao Mountain, she was lying on the bed covered with a thick quilt, still feeling cold to the bone.

It turned out that the senior brother didn't let them come to Xiaoyao Mountain before, that's the reason, the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain is indeed much colder than the capital, and when they climb to the top of Xiaoyao Mountain, it should be even colder.

But fortunately, everything is for grandpa to be able to see grandma, even if it is cold, it is worth it.

Lu Li wrapped the quilt tightly, put on his jersey again, and then fell asleep a little sluggishly. Halfway through his sleep, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

She wrapped herself in the quilt and got up and walked to the door to open the door, and Shangguan Yinling was standing at the door.

"What's the matter, senior brother?"

"Do you think it's really cold at the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain? Do you regret not listening to me to climb the mountain? Shangguan Yinling said with a faint smile.

"It's a little cold, but I don't regret it. As long as I can help my grandfather see my grandmother, no matter how cold it is, it's worth it. Lu Li replied definitely.

"I knew you would be cold, so I brought a thick cloak with me when I went out." This thick cloak can be said to be on top of the three quilts, it will not feel cold at all when it is covered on the body, and it may even be a little hot, "When you sleep at night, you will not feel cold when you cover it in the quilt." ”

"Then brother, what are you building?" Everyone lives at the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain, she feels cold, and her senior brother will definitely feel cold.

"Because I'm a man, a manly director is more resistant to frost than a girl's family. If you don't believe you hold my hand, do you think my hand is much warmer than yours? ”

Lu Li shook Shangguan Yinling's hand in disbelief, his hand was really hot, much warmer than hers.

"Thank you, brother." Lu Li was very happy to take the cloak and say good night to Shangguan Yinling, put the cloak close to his body, and then covered it with a quilt, sure enough, his whole body was warm, and he didn't feel cold at all.

Shangguan Yuling shook his hot hand and turned back to the room.

This girl always believed in every word he said.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up wrapped in thick coats and cloaks and began their journey up the mountain.

Xiaoyao Mountain is unattainable, and when you look at the past, you can't even see the top of the mountain at a glance. However, this is what they see with their eyes, and when they actually start climbing, that is really the beginning of despair.

After climbing for four hours, they were halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the endless mountain road ahead, Duan Langcai sighed in despair.

It turns out that this is Xiaoyao Mountain, and it turns out that Xiaoyao Mountain is not like its name, it is to make people feel free, but to make people suffer and suffer.

When he climbs to the top of this free mountain, it is estimated that half of his life will be gone.

"Senior brother, grandpa, why don't we sit down and rest for a while, I feel that if I climb down again, my leg will be useless."

"You can't rest, the more you rest, the more tired you get." Grandpa, as an old man who has climbed Xiaoyao Mountain many times, put forward constructive suggestions.

So the group climbed for nearly four hours without resting.

By the time we reached the top of the mountain, it was almost dawn.

At night, they had not yet reached the top of the mountain, so they could only snuggle up to each other and find a sheltered place to keep warm.

Later, they found that the more cold the night was, the more they could not stop, so they continued to climb up the night and finally climbed to the top of Xiaoyao Mountain before sunrise.
