For a whole day, Su Qin couldn't eat a mouthful of food, but Old Man Shi was in a hurry, and he kept teasing Su Qin with words, but Su Qin was still listless. Old Man Shi invited him to play silent chess, but Su Qin didn't have the heart at all.

In this way, a day passed quietly, and the next day Su Qin recovered a little, regained some appetite, and he played three games of silent chess at the invitation of Old Man Shi.

Although Su Qin cheered up, he still remembered the old feelings in his heart. It wasn't until the fifth day that Su Qin finally extricated himself from his extreme depression and began to think about other things in his mind.

This morning, Su Qin was playing silent chess with Old Man Shi Chang when Huo Xuan suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. He hurriedly entered the cave, his face was bright, and he said to Shi Chang with a smile: "Finally sent away the Qin State mission, and we can set off for Qilian Mountain today." ”

Su Qinxin said: "Wei Wei finally couldn't stand it anymore and went back to China. After all, he is an envoy of the Qin State, and he will eventually go back to confess to the Qin Jun. Being able to wait here for ten more days can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and worthy of yourself. ”

Su Qin couldn't follow the Qin State delegation back, so he could only wish them a safe journey in his heart, including Meng Ting, and Su Qin didn't hate her.

He thought about it carefully, and felt that he really hadn't given Meng Ting much benefit, the two of them were not clear, why did that person guard himself, besides, in Meng Ting's opinion, he was gone without a trace, and he might be a person who could never come back.

After thinking about it again and again, the situation should not be thought about anymore, Su Qin was relieved, and after a relationship was put down, his heart relaxed.

He heard that Old Man Shi Chang was still not angry with Huo Xuan, and kept calling himself "ancestor" in his mouth, shouting at Huo Xuan to do this and that.

Na Huo Xuan always had a smiling face, and commanded the two personal entourages to untie Su Qin and Shi Chang from the stone pillar, and tied their hands and feet again. Move them out of the cave.

For the first time in more than ten days, Su Qin saw the world outside for the first time, and when he saw the sun shining at first glance, his eyes couldn't open at all for a while, and it took a long time before he got used to it.

However, it was really a pleasant thing for him to finally see the world under the sun.

Huo Xuan and the others followed a thick cowhide rope to hang Su Qin and Shi Chang to the bottom of the cliff, and a carriage was already prepared there under the cliff, and Su Qin and Shi Chang were transferred to the carriage again.

After Huo Xuan packed up everything, he boarded the carriage and drove the carriage with his two relatives, and the carriage galloped away in the northwest direction.

The further west the carriage went, the more desolate the field became, and the ground was littered with gravel, only the grass swayed one by one, and there were no people for dozens of miles.

The carriage was bumpy on the Gobi, where there was no road, and the people were about to fall apart. Su Qin found that Shi Chang hadn't spoken for a long time, and knew that he was too old to withstand long-distance hard work, so he leaned close to Old Man Shi so that he could lean on himself and suffer less bumps.

Old Man Shi didn't even have the strength to speak, he just glanced at Su Qin gratefully.

After two days of traveling, the group finally came to an open basin with a wide lake in the middle of the lake, which was formed by meltwater from the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The water is rippling and the scenery is beautiful.

On the shores of the lake is a large area of tiled grass that stretches into the distance, and in early spring, the greenery sprouts and is fresh and bright. There are many square-topped tents scattered on the meadows, and it seems that there are nomadic tribes living in the area.

Old Man Shi found that he had come to a place where there were people, and he came to the spirit, and he said, "Where is this?" There are lakes and people, and it looks good. I'm really tired, Huo Xuan, let's find someone to rest at. ”

Huo Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "This is the territory of the Guishuang people, and that lake is called 'Saintess Lake'. The Guishuang people are very fierce, we can't rest here, don't worry, we will soon reach the peak of the fire-breathing mountain. ”

Seeing that Huo Xuan didn't agree, Shi Chang scolded again. Huo Xuan didn't hear it, closed his eyes and pretended to rest.

Su Qin really admired Huo Xuan's "endurance" in his heart, he felt that Huo Xuan was really a superb person, he could be as brazen as he was in the world, how many people could there be?

After they had walked for about an hour, the carriage finally stopped. Su Qin found that they were in a valley, and when he looked up, he was surrounded by tall snow-capped mountains, one after the other, endlessly.

There was still a bitter cold wind blowing in the valley, and the wind was so strong that it was hard for people to stand still. Huo Xuan and the others chose a mountain col to shelter from the wind and tied up felt bags there.

The five of them lived in a felt bag that night, and the food and utensils brought by Huo Xuan were very complete, so that they could rest peacefully that night in this harsh environment.

The next day, Huo Xuan and his two relatives took Su Qin and Shi Chang to look for purple cloud stones everywhere in the nearby mountains. It is said that this stone has not changed its temperature for thousands of years, and it is the only one that can melt the snow that covers the mountain, revealing a dazzling luster.

This was also the reason why Huo Xuan was in a hurry to come to Qilian Mountain, because in another month, the snow on the snow mountain would begin to melt, and it would be very difficult to find the purple cloud gem from the chaotic rocks at that time.

However, even if Huo Xuan spared no effort to find out how to find the Purple Cloud Stone, and knew that this kind of stone had been produced here, it was still very difficult to really find it.

They wandered around the mountains for more than half a month, but they found nothing. Seeing that the snow on the mountain was beginning to melt, and the opportunity to find the purple cloud stone was about to pass, even Huo Xuan became impatient.

On this day, the five of them searched for a whole day in the mountains, and after returning to the felt bag in the evening, Shi Chang was tired and had a very bad temper, and he scolded non-stop. Huo Xuan didn't endure it like he did in the past, he was furious for a while, pulled out his scimitar under his waist, and pointed it at Old Man Shi.

The knife had already reached Shi Chang's neck, and Huo Xuan realized his gaffe, hurriedly put away the scimitar, and walked out of the felt bag with hatred.

After calming his anger outside for a while, he came in again and felt the bag, his face smiling again. Shi Chang still refused to give up and scolded, he couldn't wait for Huo Xuan to simply give himself a knife and end this extremely hard day as soon as possible.

The old man was already thin, but this time he was so tired that he lost weight again, Su Qin saw that he was over seventy years old, and he still had to suffer this crime, so he was really worried about him.

Thinking about Huo Xuan's hideous face just now, compared to the smiling face on weekdays, Su Qin firmly believed that Huo Xuan was extremely cunning and vicious. If he couldn't find Ziyunshi, maybe he would kill Shi Chang and himself. Now I endure it again, but I just want to find the purple marble.

Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but sweat for Shi Chang and his own situation, and he secretly decided: he must wait for the opportunity to untie the rope and escape with Shi Chang. But if he is the only one, it will be easier to do it, and it will be very difficult to take Old Man Shi with him.

Despite the difficulty, Su Qin decided to escape with Old Man Shi Chang and never leave him alone.
