When I woke up, the night was as cold as water.

Ding Qin slowly opened his eyes, and his vision gradually recovered. He felt a burst of heat on his face, and turned his head vigorously, only to see that it was Fat Dun licking his face.

Seeing Ding Qin wake up, Fat Dun seemed to be extremely happy, and he whimpered a few times in his throat. Ding Qin wanted to smile at it, but he had no strength now, and he basically couldn't laugh.

Inadvertently, Ding Qin raised his hand.

Actually...... Gone through the mirror!

He felt a slight joy in his heart, and immediately felt that the strength of his body was recovering. Soon, he sat up.

The golden sand beach behind him, the golden light is still shining, and together with the stars and moon in the sky, the night is dressed up mysteriously and beautifully.

Ding Qin looked around, and all the people on the ground were in a coma. He endured his dizziness, walked to Feng Lei's side, half-picked him up, took out the kettle from his waist and poured it into his mouth slightly, "Vice General Feng, Deputy General!"

Feng Lei's hand moved slightly, and he finally slowly opened his eyes. Ding Qin hurriedly brought him water again, and kept being careless, he choked, bent down and sat up and coughed.

"It's fine if you're okay. Feng Lei said this first, and then looked at the others, "What's wrong?"

Ding Qin said, "Everyone's spiritual power has been sucked out in a short period of time. In this way, it is possible to cause damage to the meridians of some people with poor cultivation. However, it is estimated that there should be no serious injuries. ”

In fact, he himself did not know much about these situations. However, the bone soul was able to tell him what had happened.

"We split up to see them and try to wake them up as early as possible. Feng Lei has always been very concerned about the safety of these team members, which is very consistent with his identity as a commander.

Ding Qin nodded, turned around, and began to check the people around him. Feng Lei also climbed a few steps forward and began to call people.

Fat Dun learned from them at this time, and although he couldn't call out his name, he could use his tongue to lick it. Its tongue is warm and moist, and it is especially effective in stimulating people who are in a coma.

Soon, a dozen or so people woke up. After that, these people also threw themselves into the wake-up queue. After about half an hour, everyone had recovered from their coma.

As Ding Qin said, none of these people were seriously injured. There are only a very few people, and the cultivation is low, and in the process of instantaneous loss of spiritual power, the meridians are slightly damaged, and it takes three or four days to repair.

"What's wrong?" After waking everyone up, Feng Lei saw that Ding Qin was in a daze, and immediately stepped forward to inquire.

"Look. Ding Qin's chin poked forward slightly, signaling to Feng Lei.

Looking in the direction shown by Ding Qin, Feng Lei was also stunned.

Because there is a road there.

In the darkness of the night, the road was inconspicuous, and they were busy rescuing people just now, so they didn't notice it.

But now, once you look closely, the road is markedly different from the surroundings.

It was a road similar to the Longyang Ancient Road. Beneath the thin layer of fine sand, there is a layer of bluestone slabs. And this road is the area where the things that were moving underground before.

At this time, those things that swim have long since disappeared. Including the fat dun, there is no guarded action at all.

"Could it be that this is the way out?" muttered Feng Lei.

Ding Qin took a deep breath, "Or maybe it." This is called the door of death. It seems that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but the result is actually bright. At that time, if it weren't for the concerted efforts of all the personnel to lose their spiritual power, it is estimated that this path would not have appeared. And those things that swim become real dangers. ”

Feng Lei also nodded, "What a door of life and death." Sure enough, it is hovering between life and death. Shall we go now, or shall we rest again?"

Ding Qin looked at the status of the team, and then looked at the road, "Let's go now." I don't know if this path will disappear when our spiritual power is restored to a certain level. While it's still there, we hasten away. ”

"Good. Feng Lei took a deep breath and turned to the team behind, "Everyone hold on a little longer, cheer up, and march immediately." ”

In fact, he was somewhat unbearable to give such an order. The team is now exhausted, and it is time to rest.

However, what Ding Qin said also makes sense. For the safety of the whole team, the right trade-off must be made between life and fatigue.

In the team, no one said a word. As if they were early in the morning every day, they quickly lined up, drove those camels, led by Feng Lei and Ding Qin, and embarked on this road that was exchanged for all their spiritual power.

The road stretches for a very long time, probably no less than forty or fifty miles. Until the sun came out, the traces of the desert gradually receded, and the bluestone slabs became fewer and fewer.

The team entered the Gobi, which was dominated by gravel. Directly ahead, there is a mountain, although it is not high, but it stretches far away.

At Ding Qin's feet, there is another bluestone platform. Similarly, there are two mirror-like depressions on the platform. This is where the door of death ends.

Ding Qin let out a long sigh of relief, "It's finally over." Everyone set up camp and rested. ”

The whole team is also extremely tired now. After receiving the order, some people couldn't wait for the tent to be erected, so they directly found a relatively flat place and went to sleep.

Feng Lei took the map and measured the mountain for a long time, and said with some confusion, "Judging from the location, height and stretch of the mountain, it looks a bit like a small stone mountain. ”

"Little Stone Mountain, so fast?" Ding Qin also felt a little surprised.

Feng Lei said, "I'm not sure yet. Because our map is not complete. In the desert, there is no detailed map. Little Rock Mountain is an area that comes with the map of Yougu Pass. And in all of this, there are not many drawings of deserts. ”

"After passing the Valley Pass, we should be out of the control of the Changmao rebels, and we will be able to walk on the official road. In that way, it will be much faster to go to the imperial capital. Ding Qin couldn't help but feel more hope in his heart.

Feng Lei said, "That's right. As soon as you go to the official road, it is estimated that you will be able to reach the imperial capital in nineteen days. Our trip will be considered a success. ”

Ding Qin smiled unconsciously. Along the way, he seems to have experienced more than in the previous ten years.

Feng Lei measured it again, "It should be Xiaoshi Mountain." Since it is a mountain on the edge of the desert with little name or military significance, it is rarely marked. However, what we see now is not far from the only parameters on the map. ”

Ding Qin sighed, "I hope so." Let's take a break. Once the team has recovered somewhat, they will cross the mountain first. ”

After saying that, he did not observe any more, but walked to the small tent prepared for him and got in.

Ding Qin was indeed tired. Whether it is the door of life or death, he and Feng Lei are actually the most dangerous and tired.

So, this sleep, almost until the sun goes down.

Coming out of the tent, the smell of hot food wafted through the camp. Ding Qin suddenly felt hungry, and he had indeed not eaten properly for a while.

After dinner, the team did not rush to the road. This position is currently the least risky segment they face. He decided to spend another night resting and the next day trying to climb the mountain in one fell swoop.

For Ding Qin's decision, the team was both surprised and admired. The more hope can be seen, the more calm people can be, and they are often more suitable for doing great things.

The next morning, before the sun came out, the whole team had already assembled. This is not because of the recovery of physical strength, but out of respect for Ding Qin.

By the time it was almost dark, the team had crossed the mountain. On the other side of the mountain, the valley pass is in sight.

That's right, this is Little Rock Mountain.

After a few dozen miles, as long as you pass through the valley pass, you can go to the official road again.

Ding Qin's hanging heart finally slowly let go. After such a long period of adventure and dedication, it can finally be regarded as a reward.

However, he was not in a hurry to go to the valley pass. Although this was not supposed to be a place for the Changmao rebels, after all, the rebellion had started, and since they were coming from the north, it was dark for a team to approach the pass, which could easily lead to conflict.

This kind of conflict will be a completely unnecessary conflict.

"Camp where you are. Note that the lights are controlled at night. Approach the gateway to minimize trouble. We'll leave tomorrow after dawn. After Ding Qin and Feng Lei discussed, they issued such an order.

However, near midnight, a sudden change occurred.

Ding Qin was woken up by the sentry. As the sentry came out of the tent, he noticed that in the direction of the valley pass, the fire was unusually bright, and from time to time there would be some half-fighting sounds.

"What's the situation? There was a conflict, but this time is ......" Ding Qin couldn't analyze this, so he could only guess.

Feng Lei looked at it for a while and sighed, "Could it be that the Changmao rebels have already arrived at the Valley Pass?" Judging from the current firelight, it has obviously spread to the inside of the Valley Pass. This shows that the forces in the Kannai are not very dominant. If the rebels are coming, then our luck is too bad. ”

Ding Qin didn't say anything, and took a few deep breaths one after another.

The valley pass, located in the mountains, is the only pass to the imperial capital. If you can't get through here, then at least you have to take a detour for thousands of miles.

"Longyang Ancient Road, has you bypassed the Valley Pass?" Ding Qin asked.

Feng Lei shook his head, "Judging from the current information, the Longyang Ancient Road may have started from Yougu Pass. Because I read some information left by my ancestors, I said that at that time, the strange soldiers of the thirteen towns in the north took the Longyang Ancient Road, and later they also installed an inner line in Yougu Pass, and the inside should be combined with the outside. Therefore, they must also go to the valley pass. ”

Xiang Qin looked at the firelight over there, pondered for a long time, and said, "Send someone to reconnoiter immediately." If there is a war with the rebels, there is no need to return, and believe in a green firework. If necessary, we will attack overnight to support the Valley Pass and ensure a smooth passage. ”
