Two months later, they went into an unknown deep mountain, the mountain was inaccessible, the mountain road was steep and foggy, and the distant objects could not be seen clearly, so they could only lead their horses to climb over it, which was very difficult. This nameless mountain is not on the way to the north, but a shortcut to the snowy ice fields.

A month ago, when a group of them passed by a bakery in Liaozhou City, a little beggar took advantage of the stall where the vendor turned around to get flour, stole a row of baked cakes on the table, and ran away with a swish.

The peddler turned his head and happened to meet Bai Ming's eyes, so he asked Bai Ming where he ran away with the row of baked cakes? Bai Ming had this kind of starving life as a beggar with Grandma Bai when he was a child, and he deliberately let the little beggar go, so he said that he didn't see it.

Unexpectedly, the baked cake shop vendor didn't believe it, and insisted on relying on Bai Ming to ask him to lose money, Xiao Fengnian just wanted to give money to settle things, but was stopped by Diao Wuan. Diao Wu'an told the vendor that the hungry little beggar had taken it, and asked him to save some kindness and not care, where was the hawker willing to follow, he was sure that he had taken it in vain, and the lion opened his mouth to pay ten taels of silver in vain! How many broken cakes were worth ten taels of silver? Diao Wu'an was already hot-tempered, and in addition to the fatigue of the journey, he was in a bad mood, and after a while, the peddler had a blue nose and swollen face, attracting everyone to watch. After that, Diao Wu'an was put in prison by the patrolling soldiers on the grounds of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and Xiao Fengnian spent a lot of silver tickets to get him out.

One tenth of the distance to the Snow Fog Ice Plain has not been reached, but the money has been spent very little, everyone is depressed, Bing Ruo mentioned a shortcut that Yan Hong'er said before, and Guang greedily patted his head: "The poor monk is really old and confused, I did hear about a mysterious shortcut to the Snow Fog Ice Plain when I traveled before! Why didn't I think of it before!"

"Then Yan Hong'er said that we can't take this shortcut. Bingruo said.

"Did he say that if he can't go, he can't go? We're going to try! Master Guang Greed, lead the way. Xia Xian urged Guang Greed.

Then, the monk reminisced carefully, and then led everyone all the way to the northwest for another month, and came to this nameless mountain.

"Why is this mountain road so steep? The fog is still so big? Master Guang Greed, are you sure it's here?" asked Bai Ming.

"I'm not sure, but the poor monk remembers that the master said that the entrance to the shortcut to the Snow Fog Ice Field is in the deep mountains in the northwest of Mianli County, and there are no other mountains near here......"

They climbed and searched the mountains with difficulty, slept for several days, and did not find a place that looked like an entrance, and finally decided to return and descend the mountain.

That night, they planned to spend the night in a grove at the top of the mountain, and the next morning they would descend the mountain and head north again. It's the warm season, so it's not cold for them to sleep outside, but they have to endure some mosquito bites.

In the middle of the night, a big-flowered mosquito was sucking blood on Bingruo's neck and sucking it happily, and was slapped flat by Bingruo's palm, which woke Bingruo himself, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of embroidered shoes walking in front of him, and he got up curiously to see, it was a round girl's back, and there were two small buns on her head, which looked very cute.

Her dress is not colored and material in the dark fog, but it can be seen that she is a rich lady, but unfortunately she is too fat, Bingruo thinks that she is a bucket from top to bottom, and her waist or something is completely non-existent.

"Girl!" Bingruo called to her softly, not daring to raise her voice because everyone else around her was asleep. In such a quiet environment, no matter how small the voice is, the fat girl should be able to hear it, but the round back has never stopped, and is still slowly moving forward, and Bingruo's heart is full of suspicions.

Judging from the fat girl's bun, she is at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and in the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night, it is really strange and dangerous for such a young girl to walk alone here, so she had to ask, so Bingruo got up, caught up with the fat girl, and patted her round shoulders gently: "Girl?"

The fat girl turned her head, her face was also fleshy, and her eyes were almost squeezed out by the flesh, but it could be seen that she looked haggard and sad, and her eyes were empty and desperate, "You don't care about me!" After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and trotted forward, because the mountain road was uneven and there was a thick fog everywhere that obscured her vision, coupled with her fat body and stubby calves, where to run fast, Bing Ruoda strode closely after her, and persuaded: "Little sister, the mountain is dangerous, you stop first, sister will send you down the mountain tomorrow?

The fat girl ignored Bingruo and continued to run forward, but Bingruo didn't dare to forcibly hold her when she saw her so stubborn, so she had to follow quickly.

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly squatted down and picked up a small stone, immediately got up, turned her head and smashed the stone towards Bingruo's head, this sudden attack made Bingruo unable to react, and the center of her forehead was smashed in an instant.

After the pain subsided a little, Bingruo lowered her hand and searched for the girl's shadow again, and found that she had run away and was about to disappear into the dense fog ahead. Bingruo was worried and annoyed, and ran to the girl with her legs outstretched, intending to forcibly drag her to where she had come.

When he was about to catch up with her, her back became more and more blurred, it turned out that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, so that it was obviously getting closer and closer to her, but the clarity was getting lower and lower. In the end, Bingruo felt that she could reach the back of her head, but she couldn't see her outline clearly, and then, she suddenly fell vertically.

Bingruo thought that she must have tripped over soil or rocks under her feet, and hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down to touch her, a thick fog suddenly worsened, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but what was even more strange was that Bingruo had just seen her fall here, but now she couldn't touch anything.

Bingruo was a little flustered, leaned down lower to feel it, and then his center of gravity moved forward, and his body shook and fell forward, falling down......

In fact, the girl did not stumble over anything, but stepped into the air and fell into the cliff—the night, the fog, the abyss hidden at her feet......

*

The next morning, the seven people in the bushes woke up to find that Bingruo was gone, and they all panicked, turned in different directions, and called Bingruo's name loudly, but how could there be a response?

They searched in the mountains for more than ten days, and Master Guang Greed was the first to make the next arrangement: "She must not be in this mountain, let's go down the mountain and go north to the Snow Fog Ice Field." ”

Everyone was shocked.

"Bingruo won't leave us and go by ourselves!" Xiao Ling'er shook her head, her voice excited.

"That's right, Yueshuang is still here, if she wants to get rid of us and go to the snow fog and ice field by herself, how can she leave the horse behind?" Bai Ming also agreed with Xiao Ling'er's opinion.

"The shortcut to the snowy ice field does not require horseback riding. Guang Greedy said.

"Impossible, if she finds a shortcut, why don't she ask us to go together?" Xiao Fengnian said.

"Can't you figure this out?, in addition to the jade seal of the Snowy Fog Ice Field, there are also a number of treasures of the Xia Southern Dynasty, maybe she wants to swallow ...... alone," Diao Wu'an said in a deep voice.

"What kind of person Bingruo is, don't you know?!" Xiao Ling'er's beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily to Diao Wuan.

"Child, you are still young, you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart! Besides, in the face of huge interests, people will change!" Diao Wu'an was accused by this girl who looked like Diao Ling'er, and he was also dissatisfied, and educated Xiao Ling'er screamingly.

Xiao Ling'er saw the mountain bandit leader say this Bing Ruo, and the nameless fire came from nowhere, a string of flying knives flung in the direction of Diao Wu'an, knocking down the branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree that were clinging to him! "I don't allow you to say that Bing Ruo!"

"How long have you known her?!, you stupid girl!"

"I just don't remember! But I know what kind of person she is! I must have known her for a long time! I just forgot!" Xiao Ling'er was emotional, with tears in her eyes.

Luo Feng, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and pulled Xiao Ling'er, dragged her to Xiao Fengnian's side, and then, silently led the Lingyuan horse alone, and walked in one direction, without looking back as he walked, he said to everyone lightly: "I'm leaving, don't follow me." ”

"Aren't you going to the Snow Mist Ice Plain to find the jade seal and treasure?"

"No, I'm going to find her. “

......

After Luo Feng left, Xiao Fengnian comforted Xiao Ling'er, and looked at Xia Xian, who was sitting under the tree in a daze: "Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere. The four words are plain, but they are cold to the heart.

Guang Greed sighed and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain and go north on the old road, maybe she will really wait for us in the Snow Fog Ice Field." “

Diao Wu'an, Bai Ming, Xiao Fengnian, and Xiao Ling'er led their respective horses, and went down the mountain to the north with Master Guang Greed, leaving only Xia Xian, who refused to leave no matter how much he persuaded him.....

*

After everyone left, the weather in the mountains, which was originally foggy but warm and clear, suddenly changed for some reason, and the dense fog miraculously gradually dissipated.

The mountain scenery in Xia Xian's eyes became no longer hazy and blurred, and on the tenth day after everyone left, he was still persistently walking in this mountain with Red Flame and Moon Frost, looking for and calling. He was so stubborn, he believed that if Bing was still here, he would keep looking for it.

Time passes, and finally turns into flying flowers and flows with the water.

Summer strings eat and sleep in the open, with horses as companions, wild fruits as food, looking for and seeking, waiting hard, the bright moon in the mountains seems to be full of a round of moon and full moon.

One evening, the remnant sun was like blood, and Xia Xian's haggard steps lingered on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain for more than three hundred times. Last night, the heaviest rain of the year poured the earth and rocks on the cliff side to an unprecedented mud, and even the long weeds on the cliff side drowned a lot, and the cliff became like a bald man with lost hair, and looked so sad and desolate under the blood-colored sun.

Another disappointed day, Xia Xian was just about to lead the two horses back to the cave where he was staying overnight, but he caught a glimpse not far away, on the edge of the cliff, a crooked, bright thing, lying lonely and decadent on the bald mud ground.

An ominous premonition came to his heart, Xia Xian's heart jumped to his throat, he threw away the reins, staggered forward with messy steps.

There was a crisp sound, and he stumbled, and the red tassel gun fell to the ground, just hitting the curved blade on the ground.

It's the Cold Moon Knife, a saber that Bingruo never leaves his body.

Xia Xian slowly bent down, tremblingly picked up the Cold Moon Knife, and looked at the abyss under his feet.

The next moment, his legs weakened, he knelt down facing the high cliff, hugged the Cold Moon Knife in his hand tightly to his chest, and raised his head to let out a long roar of despair.

"Ahh

In an instant, the sky was dark, dark clouds were thick, lightning flashed and thundered, and the wind and rain were fierce.

The Fire Spirit Fox Queen in the Fire Cloud Palace trembled in her heart, to be precise, the nine-tailed spirit foxes all over the Six Realms felt a tingling pain in their hearts, and all the foxes didn't know where this sting came from, but it was so clear and uncomfortable......

The storm was getting bigger and bigger, and the two horses were so frightened that they didn't know where they were going, and when the hurricane hit, they rolled up Xia Xian, who didn't do any struggle, and carried him to where he wanted to go......
