Perhaps our team of more than 200 horses disturbed the tranquility of the god of the snow-capped mountains, and just as we were about to reach the summit, the thousand-year-old snow on the ice peak in front of us suddenly loosened.

Immediately after that, the whistle sound like a landslide and a sea broke through the sky, and half of the ice and snow on the surface of the peak rushed to the snow valley below the peak with a thunderous momentum.

The experienced brother Rongmu was right not to take us to take a shortcut to the snow valley sheltered from the wind under the ice peak, otherwise we would have been sleeping under this dark ice and snow now.

Although it was already the end of the crossbow, I still folded my hands in the direction of the Ice Peak Sacred Mountain, and prayed "Amitabha!" ”

The danger of business is also the danger of the world!

After a short stay on the snow peak, the people and animals replenished a little provisions, and hurried down the mountain.

On the sunny side of the snow peak when descending the mountain, the snow is thicker, but it is a hundred times easier than going up.

I regret that I didn't bring the skateboard that Miss Shangguan Yanxi gave me, otherwise it would have been so labor-saving and fast to do ice and snow drama on the top of the snow!

Miss Yanxi's long-cherished wish to glide down from Zhongnan Mountain, we can help her realize it on this green snowfield.

From the top of the mountain to the canyon below, it is more than 20 miles away.

Such a gap also creates a peculiar scenery.

The top of the mountain is covered with snow, but the bottom of the mountain is verdant.

"Young master, there is a Daze five miles away from the mountain, the lord calls it Fairy Lake, and the surrounding beach is called Bodhi Beach! Surrounded by peaks on all sides, the anniversary is shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is a good place to practice in the next world! ”

Qin Chong pointed to a large lake as blue as a dome in the undulating green grass beach in the distance, and shouted happily.

In the midst of the snow-capped ice fields, which are not full of gravel or snow, you can still see such a vibrant scenery, which makes people feel refreshed.

I can't wait to grow wings and fly down the mountain in an instant, and merge with this immortal mansion-like place.

Helplessly, there were horses, camels and yaks carrying goods and skins slowly passing by, and the way down the mountain could only be walked step by step.

Liu Zhen'er told me that the brigade will not be able to arrive there until at least tomorrow afternoon, and that they will spend the night on this mountain tonight.

By the time the caravan descended below the snow line of the ice peak, the headache and inability to breathe at the summit of the mountain disappeared.

The lovely Shamihan had been walking with weight for so long, and he was already tired and sweating.

Thankfully, I have such a partner who grew up in the alpine pastures of the Rouran Country, otherwise my little sister Gulandot would have suffered even more.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful place in my life! ”

Looking at the greenery under the mountain, I grew up in Qingfengze since I was a child, and I have only seen the reeds in spring, the poplar forest and the Gulando of Kunlun Mountain, and sat on a black boulder with me, sighing weakly.

"Miss, I don't have to say anything about this scene, but it's a pity that people and animals can't get close to it for more than half of the year! We had to camp on the slopes outside Bodhi Beach after we descended! Shamihan smiled regretfully as he pointed to the fairyland-like fairy lake.

"Why is that? Wouldn't it be a pity that such a beautiful scenery can only be seen from afar! ”

I was puzzled, I just slipped down the Huangquan Road of the Grim Reaper, and now I am full of energy and thinking about swimming in this Penglai Wonderland with my three brothers!

"Young master, you don't understand! Hehe! The fairy lake and the meadow dense forest are surrounded by peaks, and the wind outside cannot blow in, and the breath is not smooth all year round, and it is most likely to breed miasma! How many merchants and monks who went west managed to climb this ice field and snow mountain, but gave their lives for no reason in that heavenly place! ”

Shamihan pulled off his bandana, wiped the oil and sweat on his face, and said in a shuffled manner.

Shamihan was right, it's March, and the weather at the bottom of the valley is getting warmer, and it's the time for miasma to accumulate. You little babies must not be too focused on playing too closely! ”

While talking, Grandpa, Uncle Su, and Brother Rongmu, the guide who were pressing the formation behind them, also kicked the ice and snow and drove the camel team downhill.

After the counting, the whole caravan was full of people and animals, and there was not a bag of skins, and the grandfather was completely relaxed.

"Grandpa, grandson understands!" I stood and bowed.

"Grandpa, let's rest and go!" Gu Landuo also stood up, took the wine bag from Uncle Su's hand, and helped Grandpa to sit down on the boulder.

"Hey! Grandpa is old! This road has been going back and forth for more than 30 years, and for the first time I feel a little powerless, hehe! After this trip, I will collect the mountains, go back to Qingfengze Homeland or go to Longxi Manor in Middle Earth, and live a few comfortable days! Hehe! Jincheng, you are ready to take over the banner of our Qingfengze Trading Company! ”

Grandpa's gray-white hair fluttered in the mountain breeze, and he took a few sips of the wine bag as he spoke.

"Old man should be strong, we guys still want to go with you for another twenty years!" Uncle Su patted the snow on his robe, and his face was gray and full of vicissitudes.

"Old! This trade road can only be continued by their juniors! Lao Su, you've been coming to our caravan for almost thirty years, right? ”

Grandpa happily handed the wine bag in his hand to Uncle Su, their master and servant had been working together since they were picking jade in Murong Qiu's great-ancestor Murong Villa, so the two of them had walked the rivers and lakes hand in hand for nearly half a year.

"Yes! The dog at home often persuaded me not to do it anymore and enjoy a few days of happiness at home, I told him that you are still on the way, how can I say goodbye! When the lord collects the mountain one day, Su will pack up his baggage and live in Qingfeng Ze from now on, accompany the master to play and hunt, and taste tea and wine! Or invite a group of old guys to the Longxi Manor in the south of the Yangtze River, meet with the captain and the old car, and drink our own sake all day long, hahaha! Sir! Su hasn't gone enough of this brocade world! ”

After saying that, the two old men laughed, from the bottom of their hearts after seeing all the things in the world.

"Master Su, Jincheng is still waiting for your old support in the future! You can't take the mountain! I smiled at Uncle Su.

"Young master! The world's business can only be realized if you walk on thin ice yourself! Hehe, there won't be much growth behind us old people. When your grandfather led us to walk on the business road, we were all young students in our early twenties, and no one walked through the South, Middle and North roads of the Silk Road in China, didn't they all grit their teeth and come over? Now Qin Chong, Sha Mihan, and Liu Zhen'er are the same age as the young master, and they have more than ten years of experience on the way, and they can help you in the future. Young master, you yourself are smart and not afraid of hardships, and you are born to be a good material for business. Haha, how can the businessman be afraid, boldly take over the banner of the master! ”

After saying so much in one breath, Uncle Su's old problem of asthma came up again, and he coughed violently before he eased his breath.

"Uncle Su praised him, and the younger generation was honestly afraid!" I bowed deeply to Uncle Su.

"Lao Su, let's go down! I don't know if the camp from three years ago is still there! ”

Grandpa stood up and grabbed Long Yuhan's headscarf, patted the old man's shoulder, and the two walked down the mountain with their sword scabbards.

The guys who arrived first had already found dry wood and lit a few bonfires, and the rising smoke echoed the light and shadow in the sunset, making people feel like they were in a different world.

I held Gu Landuo in my arms, and Qin Chong, Liu Zhen'er, Sha Mihan and others led our mounts and followed behind.

Before going up the mountain, the young eagle Qingluan, who was temporarily wrapped in brocade cloth, was standing on the saddle frame of the Gulandot and dozing dazed.

Since this little guy was adopted by Gulando, he has returned to the usual routine of eating and sleeping in the eagle's nest, and has eaten and slept with peace of mind, regardless of the hard work of the owner struggling on the line of life and death.

The camp is on a bare mountain pack, more than ten miles away from the meadows and dense forests at the bottom of the valley, and between it and the iceberg and snow line above is a gorge full of rocks.

My grandfather told me that when I spent the night in the mountains on the way to trade, I should not take a shortcut to get water and firewood to camp in the trench area to prevent floods, mudflows, and avalanches.

I've seen the power of an iceberg avalanche near the top of the mountain, and I'm especially chilling when I stand on the top of the mountain and look up at the crumbling thousand-year-old iceberg above.

If the snow collapses, the gorge beneath the mountain will not be enough to fill the gaps, and we will still be in danger of being destroyed.

For dinner, in addition to hot naan bread and bacon meat, there is a fragrant milk tea made with ice, cheese, ghee and corn flour.

The altitude sickness of headaches and poor breathing has faded, and after the hot food is served with milk tea, Gulanduo has regained her former spirit.

While feeding the eagles around him, he inquired with interest about the past of the business.

"Grandpa, Uncle Su! When was the first time you went up the road to Fulousha? ”

"A long time ago! Not long after my grandmother and I got married, I procured a batch of silk goods from Middle-earth. At that time, Fulousha was still the royal city of the Kushan Kingdom, and the place where merchants from the Persian, poisonous, and Canaanite kingdoms gathered. The ancestors of the Jincheng Yi clan have a deep relationship with the Kushan Kingdom, and we may still have the bloodline of the Samarkand family, the wealthy family of the country, of course, this is many generations ago! "Grandpa and Uncle Su touched each other with tea instead of wine.

"Master, I remember that we passed through the Great Xia Ancient Road in Wusun Country at that time! The guide we were looking for was a novice and almost took us to the gutter! ”

"Yes! The old man finally believes in a truth, how much life span is determined by heaven, if you want to say life and death, I don't know how many times I have died in my life! Grandpa stroked his beard and laughed.

"Uncle Su, tell me quickly, what happened on the Great Xia Ancient Road that time?" Gulando got up and filled the bowl of hot tea for the two old men.

"That one risk! We almost went to Hades! Do you remember, sir? Uncle Su turned around and asked Grandpa.

"Of course I do! We also lost three brothers! Grandpa sighed deeply.

"Miss Duo'er, young master, at that time, we had more than thirty men, and the silk cloth escorting fifty camels was almost to the high annex city, and we encountered a group of robbers in a place called Salang Pass. It's not the same as the mountain bandits you see in Hexi, people directly flock to kill people and sell goods without talking to you about any conditions! ”

Uncle Su took a sip of hot tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

We met the Hexi mountain bandits he said twice on the way to Chang'an last year, and the thieves also have a way, and they will negotiate with you.

It is estimated that the sambling bandits that Uncle Su talked about are the kind of people who swarm in the black pressure and see people killing people and taking money.

"Before we could react, the bandits had already ridden into the group and cut down five of our camels and three of our fellows!"
