Chapter 7: The Great Snow Peak

Ziyang Gate, not bad money.

Yan Xueying, not bad money.

With only one set of tents and bedding and other equipment, does that mean I have to share a bed with her?

It's a little exciting to think about it!

"Okay! I'll get ready right away! "I stumbled and walked outside.

"Wait, do you have any money?" Xue Sakura asked with a frown.

I rummaged through my pockets, and it was cleaner than my face.

"Mingyue, accompany your senior brother to the mall to purchase." Yuki Sakura shouted.

"Yes, Uncle Shi." Mingyue put down the work in her hand and went out of the room with me, let me wait, she went back to change her clothes, the robe is a work clothes, the little girl's family, she naturally has to wear casual clothes when she goes out.

After waiting for Mingyue for three minutes, she actually changed into a school uniform and came out, the local No. 2 Middle School, blue and white color scheme, earthy.

"Don't you have civilian clothes?" I asked with a frown.

"Nope." Mingyue smiled.

"Your uncle won't buy it for you?"

"No, no, no, Senior Brother in charge," Mingyue explained with a serious face, "I just like Taoist robes, not civilian clothes. ”

“…… All right. I shook my head helplessly, there are still girls who don't like fancy clothes and blue robes.

Out of the Taoist temple, walked to the mall, chatted all the way to learn that Mingyue and Qingfeng are abandoned babies, they were picked up by Wang Xiaochuan successively, and have been growing up in the palace, the original "Taoist Tong" - in fact, it is the "waiter" hired by the Taoist temple, after becoming an adult and getting married and leaving, they will become the next generation of "waiters", Wang Xiaochuan is old, and they are too young, so from the top of the generation, let Dong Xiaonuo be their master, as for martial arts or something, catch up with whoever is in the Ziyang Palace, teach them some.

Although Wang Xiaochuan is so good, walking the rivers and lakes to pick up abandoned babies, naturally he is not just picking up anyone, most of them are properly placed in welfare institutions by him, only these two baby girls with high endowment of the son of heaven were brought back to Ziyang by Wang Xiaochuan to raise, thinking about not wasting their talents, teaching a good kung fu, whether walking the rivers and lakes independently in the future, or marrying a woman to live a dull life, will not be without a skill, moreover, Wang Xiaochuan also attaches great importance to education issues, Qingfeng and Mingyue have reached the appropriate school age, and they have been arranged into the local primary school.

Because the two female dolls have been practicing since childhood, plus talent, learning, etc., it is not effortless, Wang Xiaochuan does not expect them to be admitted to any good school, just go to college smoothly, don't be too out of touch with society, so at present, Mingyue is in the first year of high school on the ground, Qingfeng is still in the second year of junior high school, and her studies are not very tight.

When I arrived at the mall, according to Yan Xueying's requirements, I bought tents, bedding, food and other goods, and I also made my own decisions, bought some thicker clothes, and some tools that may be used for mountaineering, ropes, mountaineering hooks, etc., in case of avalanche weather like in a dream, I have to save my life with the little master.

This is the largest shopping mall in the town, although it is evening, there are many customers, and almost all of them buy boarding equipment, everyone's purpose is the same - to find the treasure of Loulan, I took the opportunity to ask them, what is this treasure of Loulan?

One of the eldest brothers was very enthusiastic and asked me if it was the first time I came, and I said yes, I was originally here for a tour, and I have been listening to you talk about treasures, so that I also want to go up the mountain to find it.

"Hehe, if you have no experience, my brother advises you not to waste your efforts," the eldest brother smiled heartily, "Do you know how many people die in this Kunlun Mountain in a year?" ”

I shook my head, and my eldest brother stretched out three fingers and whispered, "At least that's the number." ”

"Thirty?" I feigned surprise.

"What thirty, three hundred people!" The eldest brother frowned, "The local government didn't dare to report it, and it was ordered to close the mountain before, but such a big Kunlun Mountain, how to seal it, and then I thought of a way, don't you want to go up the mountain, okay, sign a life and death certificate, don't rely on the Zhengfu if you die, so ah, the number of people killed in mountaineering every year that has been exposed is not much." ”

I nodded: "I see, since it's so dangerous, and no one has ever found the treasure of Loulan, then why are you still happy with it?" ”

The eldest brother pretended to look out the window deeply, looked at the Kunlun Snow Mountain with silver light in the night, and said quietly: "Perhaps, it is a kind of mountaineer's feelings." ”

Ahh It's really hypocritical to deduct himself from a mountaineer's hat just to hunt for treasure.

Forget it, too lazy to expose him, Qingfeng paid the bill, I was holding a lot of things, ready to leave.

Out of the mall, I met the eldest brother again, he didn't buy anything, just came in and walked around, to see if there was a lack of things, the eldest brother drove a Mitsubishi Pajero, a total of three people, two men and one woman, the eldest brother asked me: "You are preparing so many things, do you want to go into the mountains tonight?" ”

I said, "I want to go up and camp in the mountains at night." ”

The eldest brother smiled secretly: "You still say that you are a newcomer?" How will the newcomer know that it is necessary to go into the mountain at night? ”

I looked confused: "I don't know if I want to go into the mountain at night, but I'm just catching up with this time, why do I want to go into the mountain at night?" ”

"You really don't know?" Big brother is suspicious.

I said I don't know.

Seeing that there was no one around, the eldest brother leaned over to my ear and whispered: "Because I want to enter the mountain, I must first climb the big snow peak, there are mountain ghosts on the big snow peak, at night, the mountain ghosts will go down the mountain to wander, and they will return to the mountain during the day, so ...... Got it? ”

I nodded: "It means that when you go into the mountain at night, you can avoid the mountain ghosts?" ”

The eldest brother smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "What time are you going to leave?" Do you want to be together? We can take care of each other. ”

"No need, big brother," I smiled bitterly, three red-spirited ordinary people, how to take care of me and Xue Ying, "You guys go first, let's think about it later." ”

"Good!" The eldest brother probably thought I was scared and didn't dare to get on, so he smiled proudly, went back to his car, and muttered a few words to the two people in the car, the woman in the car, seeing that I was staring at them, also smiled at me, and then, covering her mouth, said something to the eldest brother outside the car, there are more people outside the mall, too noisy, I have sensitive hearing, but I didn't hear it.

The eldest brother looked to be in his early forties, and the couple in the car were all about my age, both dressed and skin-keeping, not like a mountaineer, but like a nobleman in a big city, on the contrary, the eldest brother was very rough, with dark skin and a shiny shine, and at first glance he was an experienced veteran in the wilderness.

If I'm not mistaken, although the eldest brother is older, he is not the leader of this mountaineering activity, but a guide, and the person who really participates in the treasure hunt, or the leader and financier of this operation, should be the young man and woman.

"Brother, is there anything else you want to buy?" Mingyue asked me, in order to avoid revealing her identity, I asked her to be outside the Ziyang Palace, call me brother, and then call me senior brother when I go back.

I put all my gear on the ground, checked it from the beginning, and as if there was nothing missing, I put it directly into two large hiking bags (the same newly bought), and when I was done, I looked up and saw that the Pajero was gone.

Back in the Ziyang Palace, Yan Xueying was waiting at the door with her hands behind her back, beside her, there was one more car, no license plate, the old BJ jeep, which was the kind of army green and canvas canopy.

"Drive this up the mountain?" I frowned, this broken car is enough to walk on the flat road.

"Let's drive, it will save a lot of distance." Yan Xueying took the backpack from Qingfeng's hand, threw it in the back seat of the car, and got into the cab.

I also got in the car, sat in the co-pilot, glanced at the dashboard, I found that this car, it doesn't seem to be so simple, the dashboard has all been modified, are carbon fiber trim, the buttons on it, logos, etc., are customized, gear lever and four-wheel drive hand lever, also replaced with professional appliances, even the three pedals under the feet of Xue Ying, have become aluminum alloy products, as if heavily modified.

Sure enough, as soon as Xue Ying started the car, I heard it, the engine will definitely not be the old BJ Jeep kind of less than 100 horsepower engine, gear start, Xue Ying's driving skills are very skilled, easy to control the jeep forward, I probed out of the window, and waved goodbye to the people who came to see off at the door, it is said that this training camp, it will take seven days (judging from the amount of food purchased), and then come back, I don't know what will become of the Ziyang Palace - after the thousand-faced jade Guanyin returns, it is estimated that the General Administration of the Dragon Group, It will strengthen the offensive deployment of the Ziyang faction.

The car drove out of the town, running towards the "big snow peak", it seems that it is not a secret to go up the mountain at night, there are not many cars on the road, the headlights from the foot of the mountain, have spread to the town, but the spacing is relatively large, at least thirty or forty units, either Toyota domineering, or Mitsubishi Pajero, or a higher level Land Cruiser, are professional off-road vehicles in the plateau area - don't talk about Mercedes-Benz G-class and Wrangler, put on the plateau, it is not easy to make, there are no three types of car leather durable.

"Master, I heard that there are ghosts on the mountain?" I asked with a smile.

"Oh?" Yuki Sakura turned her head to look at me, "You're pretty well-informed." ”

"You also chose to go up the mountain at night because you were worried about being disturbed by ghosts during the day?"

"Hehe," Yan Xueying sneered, "Do you think your master will be afraid of ghosts?" ”

"Why is that?" I asked, Xue Ying's purple qi, of course she is not afraid of ghosts, the reason why ghosts are terrifying is largely because people can't see them, and Yan Xue Ying can see ghosts, and her qi bomb can seriously damage the magnetic field of ordinary ghosts - what Xu'er told me - this is why Xu'er will be among the top ten yin differences as a demon.

"It's just to avoid people's eyes and ears, and there are more people who go up the mountain during the day." Yan Xueying said lightly.

“…… All right. This explanation makes me speechless, it seems that this is the case, since there are people who go up the mountain during the day and night, it is better to pick the night.

Soon, the car to the foot of the mountain, there is still a winding road up the mountain, the slope is quite gentle, but most of the off-road vehicles, have chosen to stop here, people get off, backpacks, bring tools, start climbing the mountain on foot, in front of us, only three off-road vehicles continue to drive up, I have observed, without exception, the three cars are modified, the suspension is very long, the chassis is very high, it is estimated that the road surface will be very rugged, there are many shell craters, cross axle terrain.

At the forefront was the eldest brother and the young man and the young man.

Xue Ying stopped, I don't know what switch was pressed, I felt the seat was lifting, looking at the reference outside the car, not only the seat, the whole car has risen a lot of height.

"Air suspension?" I asked in surprise.

Xue Ying nodded: "This car has been modified." ”

"I knew it was modified, but I didn't expect it to be so advanced, how much did it cost?" I asked curiously, air suspension, which is generally equipped with luxury cars with more than one million, is on my BMW X5, and it seems that I have used it once.

"I don't know, it was changed by your little uncle." Yukizakura smiled rarely.

“…… You just say Xiaonuo, we are brothers, and he still calls me brother! "I frowned, obviously a few years younger than me, how did I become a teacher?

"That's not going to work," Yukizakura frowned, "I can't mess with my seniority." ”

I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, so if you want to count it like this, Su'er is still my master's uncle, smacked the master's uncle, is it X-Lun?

Yan Xueying finished the chassis, started again, followed the three cars, and walked at the rear.

The eldest brother in front, sure enough, is experienced, turning around, avoiding the places on the road that are not easy to walk, and the three cars behind can just walk along the trajectory of Pajero, however, after climbing about 500 meters up the hill, there is still a problem, a U-shaped saddle, the eldest brother's Pajero slowly probed over, but the second car fell into the bottom of the U-shaped groove, the front and rear wheels were slipped, and failed to move forward for half a day. The two cars behind us were also blocked, and it was impossible to pass.

"How far can you go?" I asked Yukizakura.

"Far away," Yuki Sakura opened the window, leaned out to look ahead, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't go up if your hands can't work!" ”

"You can do it!" The driver of the second car replied that she was also a woman, and she looked very strong, like a professional athlete.

"You-" Yukizakura was a little annoyed and wanted to get out of the car and go over to theorize.

"Forget it," I grabbed Xue Ying's right arm, "The quarrel can't solve the problem, she can't block us, I'll get out of the car and take a look, and help them." ”

Yan Xueying opened her nostrils and let out a breath: "Really, I've been up the mountain so many times, and it's the first time I've encountered someone trapped here!" ”

“…… Master, you didn't have this temper before, why do you seem to be a different person now? I laughed, when I first met her in the mountain city, that high school girl was so innocent and lovely.

Yan Xueying glanced at me: "You think I want to do this?" It's not all because of you! ”

"What's my business?"

"I'm your master now! A teacher for one day, a father for life, I'm not your father, I'm almost your mother, how can I be a little immature? After Xue Ying finished speaking, she stared at me for two seconds with a straight face, she smiled, and returned to her previous innocent and lovely appearance, "I, I originally wanted to live a carefree life for a few more years, but after meeting you, everything has changed, and I have to take my own responsibility!" ”

After speaking, Yan Xueying raised her small pink fist and waved it vigorously.

I grabbed her little fist, clenched it in the palm of my hand, and said seriously: "Not only you, but also me, no matter what is coming, since we have a chance to master and apprentice, let's face it together!" ”

"Hmm," Yukizakura nodded heavily, "Come on!" ”

"But I hope you, Yukizakura, don't lose your original self, I don't like the way you pretend to be now, how tired you are!" I frowned.

Yan Xueying pouted aggrievedly: "Don't I have to set an example for you!" ”

"How old am I, can't you tell if it's true or false?" I smiled bitterly, "Just be yourself, then I can get along with you and be more comfortable, you always have a straight face, like a dead apprentice-"

"Tsk!" Yuki Sakura pulled out her hand and pressed my mouth, "Don't talk nonsense! Unlucky! ”

I kissed her in the palm of her hand and stuck out my tongue again, Xue Ying felt it, her eyes widened, and she quickly retracted her hand: "What are you doing?" I'm holding the steering wheel, how dirty! ”

"No matter how dirty it is, it's your hands, I don't mind." I kissed her again on the back of her hand.

Xue Ying's face was slightly red: "Have you turned on the flirting mode again?" I'm your master now, not your little sister of Snow Sakura! ”

"Isn't it?" I laughed.

"No, it's not......" Yukizakura avoided my gaze uncertainly.

I hugged her little head and pouted at the corner of her mouth: "Is this time?" ”

I let go, and Yukizakura looked straight ahead, motionless, was she stupid?

"Hey, are you alright?" I asked.

Xue Ying's throat rolled, swallowed her saliva, and said expressionlessly: "Next time kiss me, please tell me in advance?" ”

"yes, okay." I say.

Xue Ying stretched out her little tongue, licked the part I had kissed just now, turned her head and smiled at me, "It's quite sweet!" ”

"I'll go ahead and have a look." I say.

"Hmm." Yuki Sakura nodded.

I opened the door and got out of the car, and the relationship with Xue Ying was pulled back to its original state, and it felt good.

I walked to the front door, and the people in the front car, that is, the third car, also came down, it was two men, one old and one young, like father and son, after all, they followed all the way, they had met each other in the rearview mirror, they were very familiar with each other, they smiled at each other, and walked into the ditch together.

The eldest brother's car in front was also parked not far away, he also got out of the car and walked towards the back, he could have left, it is estimated that he will feel scared when he goes up the mountain, it is better to have more people.

Stuck in the car, also a duo, two women, the athlete woman who drove the car stood outside the car, was studying the method, in the co-pilot, there was a quiet little woman, quiet a little too abnormal, her car fell in, she didn't even panic, a little strange, I opened the yin and yang eyes out of curiosity, I don't know, I was startled when I opened it, it was actually three purple gases!

It's a banshee! The demon of purple qi, a good cow, will appear here like this?

I turned around in confusion, looked at Yan Xueying in the car, and followed all the way, she must have seen it a long time ago!

Yukizakura shrugged in the car and made a "what's the matter" expression.

How can it be none of our business? A purple qi demon inexplicably appeared near the Ziyang Palace...... I've got to find out what this thing is.

Came to the side of the car, the car is mainly the left front wheel stuck in the gravel, idling can not come out, the father and son brought tools, offered to help dig the pit, stuffed a few stones into the pit, increase friction, maybe can climb out, the eldest brother came over, saw me, nodded, looked at the wheels again, frowned and said: "You can't do this, the four wheels are trapped, can't rush out, you first pad the stone, I drag you to estimate that you can come up." ”

"Thank you, big brother," said the athlete girl, "I also mean that, and I'm too embarrassed to speak." ”

"It's all fellow travelers, what's polite!" The eldest brother laughed and ran to get the rope.

I took advantage of their busy work, went around to the co-pilot's side, knocked on the window with my knuckles, hum, the quiet beauty inside pulled down the window, looked at me calmly, and opened her lips lightly: "Is there something?" ”

"Beauty, where are you from?" I asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend." The beauty said coldly.

“…… I'm not accosting, I'll ask where you're from," I lowered my voice and leaned over a bit, "Demon Realm?" ”

The beauty looked stunned and narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Do you know how I am ......"

I pointed to the top of my head: "Qi Observation Technique." ”

"Are you from Ziyangmen?" The banshee was surprised.

I nodded, "Exactly." ”

The banshee's face showed surprise again: "Great! Can I ask you personally? ”

"Who?"

"Daoist Li Xu'er, I heard that she is also from Ziyangmen?"

This time, it was my turn to wonder: "What is the relationship between you and the Void Daoist?" ”

Li Xu'er's Taoist name is called Void Dao Chang, which is probably also her nickname on the rivers and lakes.

The banshee looked at the busy people on the other side and whispered, "I'm her sister, but I'm not biological, I'm a native of the demon world." ”

I nodded, Xu'er is a carp demon in the yang realm, and after cultivating into a demon, he went to the demon realm and became a heavyweight in the koi country.

"You have something to do with your sister?" I asked, "I do know her, but she's not in the Purple Yang Gate at the moment." ”

"And where did she go?"

"She should be in the underworld now, she is an official in the Yin Mission, do you know?" I asked.

The banshee shook her head and frowned: "I have been in retreat and cultivation for twenty years before, and I only came out recently, and I don't know much about the affairs of your two worlds. ”

Our two worlds naturally refer to the ghost world and the human world.

"Anyway, my sister may not be able to come back in a short time, if you have to find her, I still advise you to go back to the demon world and wait for her in the Valley of the Dead." I said that the final place of Su'er would definitely be there.

"I don't have to look for her," the banshee smiled wryly, "I just have no relatives and came to her." ”

"Wait a minute," I said, turning around and running back to my car, asking Yuki Sakura through the window, "what do you think?" ”

"What do you think?"

"She said she's Su'er's sister, isn't that true?" I asked, Xue Ying's qi observation technique is much more powerful than mine, I can only see that she is a purple qi mid-level demon, and I can't see anything else.

"So what? Isn't it? She doesn't hinder our cultivation. Yuki Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"I mean, if she's real, we can pull over and help, after all, there's a shortage of manpower right now." I say.

Yan Xueying thought about it, and her eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of it!" ”

"Hehe, that's why, I'm the master, and you're just the master!" I scratched her nose.

Yan Xueying pouted: "Beautiful you!" You call her over, I'll take a closer look, and from a distance, she really looks like the royal family of Koi Country. ”
