Zhang Dayou left the crowd and sat alone on the side of the mountain road munching on compressed biscuits, looking at his lonely figure, I couldn't tell what it tasted like.

Li Huaishan posted a post on my side and whispered: "Zhang Dayou has this guy, his self-esteem is a little outrageous, right?" ”

I grabbed a piece of dried meat and replied before stuffing it into my mouth: "I still have too little stimulation, and when I first returned home, my self-esteem was quite strong." ”

Li Huaishan was immediately happy: "Also, after getting along with the second master and his gang for a long time, all my self-esteem and everything have to be crushed." ”

Zhang Dayou didn't know whether he heard the words of the two of us, or remembered something, so he suddenly turned his head and glanced at us.

Li Huaishan grabbed two pieces of dried meat and left, I stared at Zhang Dayou for a while, and found that his gaze was not on me, so I moved my eyes elsewhere.

Ke Zongbi once told me that this journey will be very difficult, and I wonder if the "hardship" he said would be brought by the people around me.

While thinking so, I glanced at Zhang Dayou again.

This kid doesn't hesitate to spend a lot of money, and he wants me to participate in the spring review, he won't want to plot against me halfway.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem right, after all, before I went to the furniture city to find him, he didn't know that I hadn't come to Kunlun Mountain.

During the time when he stopped to rest, Zhang Da didn't say a word, we got together to eat, and he didn't come, no one knew what he was thinking.

At noon, we took advantage of the warm temperature and hit the road again.

The trail I mentioned earlier was actually a very ditch between the two mountains, and we walked along this ravine for a short while, and then we went up the hill and headed due north.

In the past, I always thought that the so-called mountainous areas should be places like the old forests of the Northeast, with damp muddy soil, dense jungles, and in winter, there is snow that cannot be melted.

But the mountains here are very different from what I remember, there are no trees, only continuous grass on the slopes, and occasionally one or two huge stones can be seen popping up from the mountain, and they grow along the slopes, which look like acne on the mountain from a distance.

When we passed the first hill, the road was fairly easy to walk, but as we got deeper and deeper, the road became bumpy.

The grass on the mountain is gradually not visible, and as far as the eye can see, almost all of the nearby mountains are made of stones, and the road conditions on the slopes are complicated, and there are raised stone edges everywhere, and the horses rarely have the opportunity to run, but their speed is much faster than the foot speed of ordinary people climbing the mountain.

At first I was chasing the horse, but now I was in front of me, and the rider was left behind.

The wind on the mountain was very strong, like burning a knife, I tried to take two breaths with my mouth, and I felt a chill on my tongue, and when I closed my mouth, the temperature on the tip of my tongue quickly warmed up, and I felt the pain of numbness.

In such a situation, no one deliberately opened his mouth to speak, and only the sound of the horse's hooves on the stones, and the cry of the wind like a ghost.

I don't know what kind of reason the Three Youth Association chose the location of the spring review in such an extremely cold place.

The left and right were also boring, so I ran on the mountain while spreading the clouds, while condensing a mouthful of mental power, repeatedly reciting gossip songs in my heart, and performing the magic of fixing the gods over and over again.

Ever since I learned to use the Nether Treasure in one go, I have been able to practice anytime and anywhere, but when my mind is scattered, I can only practice some of the most basic spells, and I can't speak while practicing.

Of course, when practicing in a quiet environment, you don't need to think about it so much.

After crossing a few bare rocky mountains, I could already see snow as far as my eye could see, and in front of me was a small flat land, and I ran down the hill quickly, standing on the edge of the flat land, and stared over, and saw a thin mountain peak faintly emerging from the white snow that stretched for an unknown number of miles.

My intuition tells me that the mountain should be Xiaoxi Peak.

It didn't take long for Basang to come to me with Li Huaishan, and Basang, like me, also stopped his horse, put his hand on the frame of his eyebrows, and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Li Huaishan turned to the side and asked me, "Why did you condense your mental power?" ”

As he spoke, Jiang Qu and Huang Yuzhong also came here on horseback.

I first dissipated my mental power before I said to Li Huaishan, "I'm practicing. ”

Li Huaishan's eyes widened suddenly: "You can also practice when you climb the mountain?" ”

I exhaled hot air to warm the base of my tongue and responded, "I can only practice some superficial techniques." ”

In fact, I didn't finish these words, and there was still half a sentence at the end: "I can take this opportunity to review the things that the third master handed over to me." But I closed my mouth, not because it was cold, but because when I Li Huaishan was talking, Zhang Dayou looked at me, and I just happened to meet his eyes, and I found that this guy's face became more ugly.

It was a kind of forcibly suppressed anger, and Zhang Dayou's eyes could almost burst into flames, but when he noticed that I was looking at him, he quickly turned his face to the side.

To be honest, when I saw Zhang Da like this, I couldn't help frowning.

The last time I saw him in the furniture city, I thought his personality had changed, but I didn't expect that he had only changed his appearance and the things in his bones, but he hadn't changed at all.

The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, so it is probably a person like Zhang Dayou.

Thinking about these in his heart, Li Huaishan shouted: "Damn, isn't it, you can practice like this...... So when will I catch up with you? ”

I took my eyes back and smiled at Li Huaishan: "The second master said that when you walk outside, what you see, hear, and think is all practice, even if you can't practice magic, can't you still refine your heart in the red dust?" ”

As I spoke, I couldn't help but glance at Zhang Dayou again, hoping that he could hear this sentence as well.

At this time, Jiang Qu opened his mouth and said to me, "Do you want to stop and rest?" ”

I glanced at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and asked him how long it would take to get from here to Xiaoxi Peak.

Jiang Qu said, don't look at Xiaoxi Peak is already close in front of you, but the road ahead is extremely difficult to walk, and it will take at least half a day to get there.

I blocked the wind in front of me with my hand, looked at the sky, and then asked Jiang Qu: "How wide is the secret passage under Xiaoxi Peak?" ”

He immediately understood what I meant: "It's wide enough for the horses to get in." ”

I nodded and beckoned everyone to move on.

It's windy in the mountains, and the temperature is too low, so I plan to rush to Konishi Peak as soon as possible and rest after entering the secret passage, so that it will at least warm up a little.

After crossing the flat ground, he climbed over a bald mountain, and the world in front of him became white.

The trail was too slippery, and I was worried that the Basang would stumble, so I slowed down and walked with them.

I remember that it was about the time when I crossed the third snow-capped mountain, when the snow was already relatively thick, the horse walked on the mountain, and I couldn't see the rocks on the hillside, so everyone could only slow down the speed, I followed the back of the whole team, and the person who walked in front of me was Huang Yuzhong.

Ever since he entered the snow, he has become very cautious, and at first I thought he was worried about the slippery road, but gradually I realized that it was not so simple.

Along the way, Huang Yuzhong's eyes rarely looked at the ground, he always straightened his back from time to time, looked around in the cold wind, and sometimes stopped to listen to the movement ahead.

The wind was so strong, I didn't know what else he could hear besides the wind.

It was beginning to get dark, and I followed the group up a very steep slope, and both Basang and Jiang Qu rode their horses very carefully, and marched at a very slow pace to the top of the mountain, but Huang Yuzhong seemed to be in a daze, and several times, the horses under him almost slipped on their forefeet.

I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I shouted: "Look at your feet, don't get distracted!" ”

Huang Yuzhong didn't speak, just nodded silently.

Basang and Jiang Qu took the first step to the top of the mountain, Huang Yuzhong drove the horse to follow slowly, and when he saw that there were only two or three meters left from the top of the mountain, he suddenly pulled the reins as if he was frightened.

The horse was hurt by this blow, and suddenly "Herod" screamed, and the horse's body twisted strongly, and its hooves also slipped, and it fell down the hillside on the spot.

The situation was critical at the moment, and I couldn't care about anything else, so before the horse arrived, I immediately urged the second stage of strength on my left foot, and quickly stepped into a deep depression under my feet to stabilize my body.

I had just stabilized here, the huge body of the horse had been pressed over, I immediately reached out and pushed the horse's back, the horse's body was pushed crooked by me, and it slid diagonally, I reached out two hands again, one hand grabbed Huang Yuzhong, and the other arm wrapped around the horse's neck, and finally made them stop.

Huang Yuzhong and his horse were frightened, and after I let go of my hand, the man and the horse only stared at each other with wide eyes and panting, and they didn't dare to move.

I felt a burst of irritability in my heart, poked Huang Yuzhong's shoulder hard, and asked him, "What's the matter with you!" ”

Huang Yuzhong came back to his senses and said to me tremblingly, "Something is wrong. ”

I immediately frowned: "You are indeed wrong. ”

Huang Yuzhong shook his head vigorously: "No, I mean, the situation in the mountains is not right. ”

I looked around, and everywhere I looked, there was a continuous white snow, and the wind blew, and the snow on the surface flew up with the wind, forming floating snow waves.

Other than that, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

I frowned and looked at Huang Yuzhong, who came into contact with my line of sight and immediately spoke: "Someone has moved in the mountains, I can feel it." ”

When he spoke, he deliberately kept his tone calm, but his face still looked panicked.

I asked him, "What did you do?" ”

Huang Yuzhong shook his head: "I can't say specifically, but I can see that the snow in this place is a little strange." ”
