I guess that Zhang Dayou was able to enter the inner mountain smoothly, and it was very likely that it was not Zhoushan's arrangement, and he spent money to help me buy that invitation, which was also the design of Buzhoushan.

If these speculations are true, then Buzhou Shan knew early on that I would enter Kunlun this spring, and perhaps they had already prepared an ambush and planned to intercept and kill me halfway.

What should come will always come, and there is not much point in escaping, and now I can only go forward.

The north wind was particularly strong this night, and even if you huddled in the tent, the cold could still penetrate it, and the sound of the wind that kept screaming made it impossible for people to sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, I, Li Huaishan, Huang Yuzhong, and the three of us came out of the tent almost at the same time, everyone packed their bags and was ready to pull out, only Zhang Dayou was still hiding in the tent and falling asleep, and when Li Huaishan woke him up, he still looked bored.

It's as if Li Huaishan woke him up and made him make a fool of himself in public.

I've really had enough of him.

Before leaving, I looked at my watch, and it was a little over seven in the morning.

The wind had disappeared, and by the time we arrived at the battlefield, it was already tomorrow morning, and after a night of heavy snowfall, no matter what had happened in that place, all the clues were covered by snow.

Huang Yuzhong is in a good state today, after a night's rest, the tension on his body has dissipated, and he is also very active on the way, and he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of exploring the way.

At the time, I was thinking, it seems good to have such a person around.

At noon, we arrived at the top of Hanshui Mountain earlier than expected, and when we walked on the hillside, I saw the broken monument in Huang Yuzhong's mouth,

The stele is not very large, the height is about the knee of an adult, and given that it has long been broken, I cannot guess how big the complete stele is, the whole stele is a relatively light cyan, and the fracture at the top of the stele has been covered with a thick layer of snow.

Huang Yuzhong was the first to climb to the top of the mountain, I was some distance away from him, everyone was wearing masks, the wind was very strong, Huang Yuzhong didn't plan to speak, after arriving at the top of the mountain, he pointed to the stone monument beside him.

I nodded at him, meaning I got it.

Stepping on the heavy snow on the hillside, the rest of the people came to the top of the mountain with difficulty, I glanced at Zhang Dayou, rushed through the windproof glasses, and found that the fire in his eyes burned even more, if it wasn't for his lack of strength, this guy would kill if he didn't get it right.

Li Huaishan didn't seem to go out of his way to look at Zhang Dayou's eyes, and said to Zhang Dayou teasingly: "Didn't you say that there is nothing on this mountain?" So what is it? ”

Zhang Dayong roared in a loud voice: "The last time I came, there was nothing. ”

Li Huaishan probably didn't expect Zhang Dayou to be in a hurry, he was stunned for a moment, and after a short while, he brought the topic to Huang Yuzhong: "Do you kid have clairvoyance, you can see everything on the mountain so far away." ”

Huang Yuzhong was still unwilling to respond to Li Huaishan's words, so he muffled without saying a word.

While Li Huaishan was still breaking his mouth, I came to the broken monument and raised my hand to brush away the snow on the broken monument.

It can be clearly seen that the fracture of the stele has turned black like carbon, and there are also a large number of cracks near the inclined fracture.

This stele has also been roasted by fierce fire.

Huang Yuzhong came over and said to me, "The white-clothed old man I saw was standing next to the broken monument at that time. ”

I nodded, and while holding the surface of the stele with both hands, I pulled it hard, and the broken stele was completely pulled off the ground, and in the snow next to my feet, a narrow rectangular deep groove appeared, but at the bottom of the trough, it was still white snow.

This stele should have been erected here recently, and it was erected in a very hasty manner, and the snow layer was not even dug through.

Zhang Dayou's words are credible, when he came last year, there were no things here.

Then I took a closer look at the tablets on both sides, and there seemed to be some text on them, but they were all burned and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Putting down the stele, I asked Huang Yuzhong, "How far can you see?" In addition to clairvoyance, you also have tailwind ears, right? ”

Huang Yuzhong said proudly: "Our old Huang family has washed their faces and ears since they were children, although they can't reach the level of clairvoyance and ears, but their vision and hearing are still much more sensitive than ordinary people. ”

Li Huaishan immediately shook off a sentence: "What is there to show off, anyway, you can't beat Yu Ruofei." ”

Huang Yuzhong was suddenly a little annoyed: "I just said that my vision and hearing are far beyond ordinary people, and I didn't say that I am good!" ”

This was the first thing Huang Yuzhong said to Li Huaishan.

Although I couldn't see Li Huaishan's expression, I knew that he would definitely go back, so I waved my hand at him, signaled him not to talk too much, and then asked Huang Yuzhong: "How far can you see?" ”

Huang Yuzhong didn't seem to know how to answer me, he was silent for a while, then turned around and looked due north before pointing to a mountain in the distance and saying, "I can see the texture of those stones clearly, and I can't see it any further." ”

I looked in the direction of his finger, and now the mountain he pointed to was at least twenty or thirty miles away from us.

Normal people can't see the texture of the stone at such a distance, even the outline of the stone.

Yes, it's not that you can't see clearly, but you can't see it.

I asked Huang Yuzhong again: "How far can you hear?" ”

Huang Yuzhong shook his head: "This is not necessarily, how far you can listen is greatly affected by the environment." ”

In any case, since he could hear the sounds coming from the battlefield, it meant that his hearing was at least dozens of times that of ordinary people.

It's my luck that this guy can follow me, and he really picked up a treasure.

While thinking so, I patted Huang Yuzhong on the back and said, "On the road behind, you will act as a scout, and we will follow you." ”

Huang Yuzhong seemed to become very excited, nodded vigorously, and then ran down the mountain.

Originally, I was going to ask everyone to correct it, but seeing that he was so energetic, I was embarrassed to pour cold water, beckoned to Li Huaishan and Zhang Dayou, and followed.

Every time Zhang Dayou saw me waving and signaling everyone to move forward, his face was ugly, and I didn't bother to take care of him.

Li Huaishan approached me in three steps and two steps, and said a little unhappily: "Didn't you let me lead the way before, why did you change to Huang Yuzhong this time." ”

I smiled and said, "The two of you have different functions, you are good at finding the way, he is good at finding the way, let's put it this way, you are the guide, he is the scout, now we know which direction to go, of course the guide should rest, and the matter of exploring the way will be left to Huang Yuzhong to do." ”

Li Huaishan didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know how long it took before he shook it off: "You are quite good at talking." ”

I just smiled and didn't say anything more.

For the next day and night, there were almost no bright spots, the surrounding scenery was always the same, except for white was white, I was worried that I would suffer from snow blindness when I went back, and the cold brought our senses was also consistent, the sound of snow being flattened, the whistling wind, and the pair of almost unconscious legs, which had been tormenting everyone's nerves.

Even Huang Yuzhong, who was full of enthusiasm on Hanshui Mountain, became a little depressed after walking on the snowy road for such a long time.

By the way, I have eaten Ice Silkworm Gu before, and my ability to perceive temperature differences has indeed deteriorated, but this does not mean that my legs will not be frozen in the extreme cold, and like Li Huaishan and them, I have to stop from time to time and rub my stiff knees and ankles.

All night long, in the morning of the next day, the dull atmosphere was finally broken by Huang Yuzhong.

At that time, we were approaching a low mountain with gentle slopes, and Huang Yuzhong in front of us suddenly stopped, turned his head and shouted at me: "There is a person on the hillside! ”

My first reaction was nervousness, but when I saw Huang Yuzhong struggling to speed up his pace and climb towards the halfway up the hill, I realized that things might be a little different from what I imagined, so I quickly followed.

In my eyes, there was only snow on the hillside in front of me, and there was no human figure anywhere.

When Huang Yuzhong stopped halfway up the mountain, I looked at him, but I could still only see a large patch of white.

I saw Huang Yuzhong kneeling on the ground with a "poof", and then he stretched out his hand and put his arms into a bulging snow lump. At this time, I could vaguely see that the shape of the school mound looked like a person lying on the ground.

Soon, Huang Yuzhong pulled out a Taoist from the snow mound, the guy was wearing very little, and when Huang Yuzhong pulled him out, the other party's face had already turned blue-gray.

I immediately stepped forward and tried the man's snort and pulse, which was dead, and his snort and pulse had stopped, and when my fingers touched his wrist, there was a very violent chill from his skin.

This chill is very similar to the chill in the karmic wind.

Huang Yuzhong, probably seeing a dead man for the first time, looked a little nervous, and immediately took a few steps back.

After Li Huaishan came up, he asked me, "How long has this person been dead?" ”

I shook my head: "Many say that the temperature in this place is too low, and it is difficult for corpses to decompose, and it is impossible to calculate the time of death." ”

As I spoke, I groped through the corpse, only to find a Zippo lighter and an empty wallet, obviously a Taoist, but there was not even a magic weapon on him.

I took a closer look at the two things that had been recovered from the corpse, the wallet was nothing special, the case of the lighter was badly worn, but in the large scratches, I could still faintly see some reliefs that resembled snake patterns.

These patterns are very similar to the purple jade on the Yin and Yang Dao, as well as the runes I saw in the southwest chrysalis village.
