Chapter 101: Tower of the Revenant

It's snowing, the goose feather like the snow is flying wantonly, the snow peak mountain is white up and down, look at it, it's all a piece of white, this year's winter came very early, just after September, the cold breath will be overwhelming, and the snow will not stop for three days and three nights.

"Damn, it's so cold."

The cold wind howled like a wolf, fluttering in the fortress of Snow Peak, and then blew in through the cracks in the rotten wooden door, extinguishing the brazier in the house, and the soldier who had just gotten out of bed stomped his feet and cursed.

A faint trumpet sounded on the snow-covered tower, as far away as in a dream. The half-snowed doorways opened, and groups of soldiers emerged from them and stiffened to their posts. The soldiers inside the Snow Peak Fortress hate winter, and when winter comes, they tremble like groundhogs that can't see the light.

The tattered big armor can't bring any warmth, the cold iron armor draped on the body is like wearing a layer of ice, which will freeze people all over the face, and even the sword and halberd in the hand are demon-like existences, hold it in one hand, and if you are not careful, you will be pulled off a layer of skin.

The soldiers climbed the city walls and arrow towers, and the white snow was trampled into a mess with scattered and numb footsteps, and one Yu cavalry led twenty soldiers from a path behind the fortress to the other side of Xuefeng Mountain. Just as the sword has two edges, Xuefeng Mountain also has two sides, the front side relies on natural danger to resist the enemy, and the back side is the inner belly of Yu Guo.

The winding path had long been buried in the snow, and the soldiers could only move forward from memory, and they walked very carefully, two halberders walked in the front, and inserted the cold iron halberd into the snow, if it was inserted, the iron halberd would sink a little half, and if it was not inserted, the thick velvet snow would continue to sink, then it would have to be detoured.

The soldiers' hands were covered in black, filthy rags.

Suddenly, the cursing dwarf soldier slammed his halberd into the snow, and the snow that had been accumulated for three days and three nights was like encountering boiling water, and quickly sank down, and even the surrounding snow loosened, and he wanted to retreat, but his body did not obey the call and planted forward, so he fell into the bottomless snow hole with his teeth and claws, and did not even let out a scream.

"Herod'......"

"Damn it, damn it......"

"Shut up, do you want to cause an avalanche?"

The neighing, scolding, and shouting of horses were mixed together. The surrounding snow gathered into the hole of the black hole and closed its mouth like a living thing. Yu Qi calmed the horses under his seat with a grim face and ordered the team to go around.

One rat died, and the remaining nineteen were more like rats, shoulder to shoulder, feet grinding feet, and moving forward in fear, under the majesty of the great god of Haotian, anyone was a mouse, a mouse who was careful to survive.

Passing through the top of the first line of sky, the team came to the back of Snow Peak Mountain. There is an ancient watchtower here, which is older than the history of the Snow Peak Fortress, it is said that it was built in the ancient god king period, and was built by the ancestors of the Beidi people to prevent the invasion of the Chinese people, and has stood here for thousands of years. The heavy snow covered its appearance, but it could not hide its shape, as high as sixteen zhang, and the architectural style on the land of Zhongzhou is very different, straight into the sky, the body line is rough and powerful. At the top of the watchtower, there is a bull-headed skeleton carved out of stone. Standing on the watchtower, not only can you take in the hinterland of the rest of the country, but when you look back, you can also see the huge stone giant above the Snow Peak Fortress. History has been lost in the long river of time, and all that is left behind is an indescribable profundity.

The soldiers came to the watchtower and looked up at the huge bull-headed skeleton, which was as small as black ants in front of it.

Yu Qi flipped off his horse and used the heavy axe in his hand to cut through the gap in the stone door that was covered by snow, and the nineteen soldiers pushed it away with all their strength, and the ancient breath came along with the cold wind and snow, making them shiver uncontrollably. This watchtower has the terrifying name of the tower, called the Tower of the Dead, so according to legend, three thousand years ago, when a god of China attacked here, he used a great and vast power, which brought unparalleled destruction, destroyed the fortress under the watchtower in one fell swoop, buried it in the unknowable abyss, leaving only this lonely watchtower to drink the wind and snow, witnessing the greatness of the god of China.

Since then, it has become an ominous place, day and night, perpetually filled with a chilling aura, where birds dare not fly, cattle and sheep dare not approach. This is a tower of damnation, the cursed are both ancient gods and the souls of the Beidi people, every winter comes, the wind and snow will always be mixed with mournful howls, burrowing into the snow peak fortress next to it, the soldiers often hear the cry when they are half asleep, every time they hear it, they will involuntarily cover their ears and chest, curl up, and tremble like a shrimp. If it weren't for the damn lord, they wouldn't have come here.

Yu Cai led the soldiers to the top of the tower, as if he had stepped into the mouth of a ghost.

The tower was dark, only a small fist-sized wind tunnel with a little snow light, reflecting the dark brown stone steps, on the stone steps, the Beidi warriors in animal skins squatted with axes, leading the bone bow to look around, and shouted with their mouths open, their flesh was rotten, judging from the posture at the time of death, before death, they were preparing to fight, perhaps already fighting. However, when death came, the body and soul were frozen in an instant by the great power.

Two of the soldiers did not follow, perhaps stunned by the strange sights in the tower, and they felt a rush to urinate. Outside the tower, Yu's horse was neighing uneasily, the animal was treated well, and there was a ring of stone stables to protect from the wind and snow. The two soldiers decided to go to the stable to settle their internal troubles, and secretly drank two more sips of wine by the way. This damn winter, damn ghost tower, if there is no wine, even the bones will be frozen.

When the two soldiers came to the stable, they were about to untie the crotch of their pants, which had been frozen into a lump of ice, when the neighing horse suddenly became furious, and the beast slammed into them like a frightened bear, and the two soldiers screamed and avoided, and kicked up clouds of snow with its hooves, so that they were not allowed to pee here.

"Damn, what a violent temper, the same as the damn Yu Qi." The soldier closest to it cursed awkwardly as he wiped the snow from his face.

"Shhhhh Another soldier persuaded.

"I didn't scold his horse, I scolded him, and that damn lord, such a cold day, actually let us come to this hellish place. Although this beast has eyes on the door of its head, it is not usually so hot, what is the matter today? Hey, did you find the wine? ”

"Found it, let's go, go outside."

Two soldiers sneaked out of the stable, one of them hid an urn of wine in his arms, the wine in the Snow Peak Fortress was extremely valuable, this urn of wine they had obtained at the risk of their lives, it was a top-secret mission, they were ordered by the lord to rob and kill a group of soldiers who had traveled around the world, and those who wore high crowns and beautiful swords at their waists were stripped naked and buried naked in the dark earth. According to the rules of the lord, all the property obtained from the robbery must be handed over, especially the wine, however, they secretly left such a small urn, and they usually did not dare to drink it, so they hid it in the snow.

The two came to a bare and convex cypress tree, and shielded themselves from the wind and snow by the huge body of the thousand-year-old cypress, and the soldier holding the wine put the wine jar on the ground, untied the knotted pants with all his strength, and was about to take a dip in the tree, but saw another soldier walking crookedly towards the cliff.

"What are you doing?" He asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, take a pee on this damn winter. It wanted to freeze me, so I let it drink my urine. ”

The soldier turned around, grinned with his yellow teeth, and then turned and walked to the edge of the cliff. The soldier under the tree smiled, also amused, and walked to the edge of the cliff with his crotch in his arms.

"Oh, hiss......"

"Oh, hey, that's cool......"

The two soldiers unbuttoned their crotches, the cold wind and ice and snow on the cliff rolled violently, the two screamed with their teeth split, the white wind and snow in front of them, and the endless snow fields in the distance, they were still there, like a cold and ruthless face, the urine that was spilled out instantly became ice, the ice edges at the tip fell down one by one, but the urine on the tail was still steaming, this feeling was unique. The two of them trembled incessantly, and their eyes sparkled with excitement.

The thin soldier shook the things he stepped on, and said, "This hellish weather, the urine that has been spilled has turned into ice, will the enemy that the lord said will come?" ”

"Who knows? Lords and nobles are fools, their brains are made of mud, don't expect them to do anything wise. If nothing else, let's just say that last time, those robbers with a black bird said that they were going to pay 5,000 knife coins to buy a way to live, but as a result, the knife coins were not given, and they also cut off one of the lord's ears, if they were not in a hurry to flee for their lives, would you and I still be able to stand here and pee? Alas, damn it, damn it, it's almost freezing. "The stronger, grumpy soldier tilted his mouth and shook desperately to make it shoot more urine without freezing, which was a technical job.

"Haha. You have to shake and scatter, and don't get distracted by talking. Another soldier skillfully urinated in the wind and snow, and the urine was shot far away by him: "Lord Lord said that the enemy who came back this time is very cruel, that is, those fake Chaoge Qing cavalry, I heard that they defeated Shangzuo Dafu Ji Yu ten days ago, that is a baron of the first class, there are eight hundred samurai in his territory, and a thousand slaves. Last time those robbers kidnapped five hundred of us, and now we only have three hundred, where can we stop the murderous enemy? When they come, I guess you and I won't be able to pee. You say, why did they come here because they didn't leave the flat Yongyan Avenue and didn't go? Alas, I want to live a few more years. A long sigh.

"Don't worry, they won't necessarily come, but even if they do, we can keep it. Our Snow Peak Fortress has Snow Peak Mountain as a backing, no matter how ferocious they are, and they don't have wings, can they fly over? When they came, we found them early, let them get into the sky, into the belly of Xuefeng Mountain, into the dark chrysalis of Xuefeng Mountain, and then we closed the door back and forth, and let them all starve to death inside. Last time, if it weren't for the damned lord who was too greedy for money, how would we have been fooled? Damn, damn it, it's going to freeze again. The soldier who spoke kept writhing his ass like a struggling snake.

"Damn it!"

Just then, an icy voice rang out from the cliff.
