To the north of Jizhou, there are thousands of miles away, and there is an inaccessible Arctic wasteland - Xixueling.

Heavy snow falls here all year round, and only some animals such as snow bears, snow wolves, and snow leopards, which are extremely resistant to the cold, can survive.

Xixueling is divided into north and south.

It snows all year round in the South Creek Snow Ridge, and there is hardly a time to stop.

Nord Stream Snow Ridge is a little different, where snow stops falling for three months of the year. When winter is in place across the continent, there is a brief spring season.

Verdant green grass, colorful butterflies, blue and wide sky, and the people of Xixueling!

The people of Xixueling are no different from other people on the mainland. They have lived here for generations, and in winter, they move to underground caves. Only in the spring will they come out of the cave and go to the surface.

According to the map field, this place belongs to the Yan Dynasty.

At the beginning, the Yan Dynasty also sent officers and soldiers to manage here, but very few of these dispatches could pass through the thousands of miles of snowy road, and most of them died on the way there. After the last batch of advance officers and soldiers died on the road, the Yan Dynasty court abandoned the Xixue Ridge and no longer sent people. Besides, the territory of the Yan Dynasty is already large enough, so don't want that snow ridge. But on the map, the Yan Dynasty still planned Xixueling within its own borders. Other countries have no opinion, in the eyes of other countries, it is chicken ribs, tasteless food, don't want it and it's a pity.

At this time, Nanxi Snow Ridge was still a land of ice and snow, and there was endless snow falling in the sky. But Beixi Snow Ridge is already a scene of spring flowers, and the beauty makes people sigh.

There is a big snowy mountain between Beixi Snow Ridge and Nanxi Snow Ridge, and the people of Xixue Ridge call it Tiannu Mountain. Because it is shaped like a celestial goddess sleeping on her side.

On the top of Tiannu Mountain, a thick white mist fell at some point.

Suddenly, a man came out of the white mist.

Looking at the figure, he is very haggard, but a pair of blue eyes reveal ruthlessness and cruelty, and there are dots of purple-black blood at the corners of his mouth.

Looking back at the white mist that was almost integrated with the snow-capped mountains, a trace of unconcealable fear flashed in the man's eyes, "Ghost Maze Town!" ”

"Who are you?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed in a thick snow wolf fur, carrying a rattan basket on his back, holding a still alive snow pheasant in one hand and a rattan net in the other, looked at the lonely man standing on the hillside in amazement.

The young man couldn't see the white mist in his eyes, he looked at the man's clothes, as well as his appearance, and was sure that he was not from Xixueling.

The man was also surprised to see him, and was surprised to hear that he was speaking Yan Dynasty dialect...... Is this the place of the Yan Dynasty? Suddenly, his gaze fell on the snowcock in the young man's hand, "I, buy the chicken in your hand." ”

Took out a jasper hairpin from his arms, this is what he picked up from the ghost town, the best jasper, the carving is also beautiful, he originally planned to be a self-defense thing, but now the stomach is more important, he is already hungry and even eats the ghost things in the ghost town, if it weren't for the snow chicken in the hand of this young man, he could kill him and eat it.

The young man looked at the jasper hairpin, then at the snowcock in his hand, and then at the man's hungry and cold appearance.

He unloaded the basket he was carrying behind his back.

He took out a skin bag from it, "This is milk wine, do you want to drink it?" There is also cooked snow pork. ”

After all, they are civilized people, not barbarians, who can eat cooked, who wants to eat raw, and there is milk wine to drink.

"Thank you." The man gave the jasper hairpin in his hand to the young man, and took the milk wine and boiled meat.

Even meat without salt is a delicacy for someone who hasn't eaten normal food for an unknown amount of time.

The young man got the jasper hairpin and was also very happy, "Great, Sister will definitely like it." ”

"Do you have a sister?" The man drank milk wine like elixir, and felt that he had finally come back to life.

"Who the hell are you?" The boy was alert again.

The man pointed to the white mist in Ghost Maze, "Can you see that?" ”

The boy said, "What are you looking at?" Could it be that you climbed over from the side of Tiannu Mountain? ”

The man was stunned, "Can't you see the white mist?" ”

"What fog?" The boy thought he had a brain problem, so he picked up the basket again, carrying the snowcock and the net, "It's time for me to go home." ”

The man saw that he couldn't see the white mist, and then glanced at the ghost town, and understood, such a fierce place, not everyone can see and enter, and it is no wonder that there are no rumors of it in the world.

Hurriedly kept up with the young man, "Little brother, my name is Liu Ying, I got lost so far......"

"I'm not called Little Brother, I'm called Minghao Taiyi."

"Minghao Taiyi? Is it the surname Minghao? ”

"Yes."

……

Liu Ying followed Ming Hao Taiyi to Beixi Xueling, the clan land of the Xixueling people.

Surrounded by ice and snow, there is a place where spring flowers bloom, and it is really amazing that God has created all things.

"It's very similar to Qiang Mountain. On one side is icebergs and snowfields, and on the other side is a deep forest and a deep fence. ”

"Where is Qiang Mountain?" Minghao Taiyi grew up in Beixi Snow Ridge since he was a child, and he has never gone out, and he doesn't know what the world is like outside, but the young man's heart is always full of curiosity.

Liu Ying replied: "It's far less big than Tiannu Mountain, but it's a bit similar." ”

When the two men had said this, they came to a village.

The houses are crude, miscellaneous, and built without any rules, but they stretch far and wide, and it is a large village.

Minghao Taiyi took Liu Ying across three or four small bridges, and greeted a few people from the same village, Liu Ying's appearance and clothing were very different from the people here. Especially his height of nearly nine feet, compared to the people here who are no more than seven feet at most, he is like a giant. It inevitably attracts attention and inquiry.

"Taiyi, who is this?"

"A lost man."

They stopped in front of a house that looked a little smaller than the others.

Ming Hao Taiyi looked at Liu Ying, and then knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened from the inside, and before I could see anyone, I heard a voice of concern with anger, "Why did it take so long to come back?" ”

Then a delicate and petite woman came out of the door.

"I'm sorry, sister." Ming Hao Tai hurriedly apologized, "I met a lost one in the mountains. ”

As soon as Zhu Jin was about to say something more, he saw Liu Ying.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls have the most nostalgic heart, especially Liu Ying, who is tall and handsome, especially the nobility of the royal family around her, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

Minghao Zhu Hibiscus was suddenly blinded, her heart stopped beating instantly, and her beautiful round face flushed.

Minghao Taiyi said to Minghao Zhu Jin: "Sister, his name is Liu Ying, and he is a passerby who got lost in the mountains. ”

"Oh...... Quick, come in. Minghao Zhu Hibiscus invited Liu Ying nervously.

Liu Ying took a hot bath, the clothes on her body were already dirty and torn, and Minghao Zhu Hibiscus took the clothes left by her deceased father, and temporarily patched up a large section of sleeves and trouser legs before she could wear them. It's not pretty, but it's warm and clean.
