As you go up the mountain road, the trees on both sides of the road begin to shrink and become shorter. A little further up, there were only low bushes to be seen, and at last there were no trees to be seen, and only the white, endless snow was left in front of them.

The sunlight hit the snow and reflected into the human eye, the white was a little dazzling, and the two people stood in place with their eyes closed and gasped for breath for a while before reopening their eyes.

Wang Shaoyi took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at the endless white in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this mountain is connected to a mountain, and snow is connected to snow. When you look at the sea, you feel that the sea and the sky meet, and the snow in front of you is connected, and how small it is for people to be in it.

At this time, Mr. Liao pointed to the mountain peaks that could be seen in the distance, wiped the tip of his frozen nose, and said in a somewhat strange tone: "The mountain over there is called 'Stopping Peak', and people in our area generally won't go any further when they go there." ”

"Stop the peak?" Wang Shaoyi muttered, listening to the name and having a bad premonition. Looking in the direction of Mr. Liao's finger, it was dozens of miles away, a mountain with a long shape that resembled a fish's fin, which looked very abrupt among the mountains.

He looked at it for a while, then lowered his head, took out the map, looked at it, and said, "According to the map, if you want to go to Panlong Peak, you must pass this stopping peak." ”

After he finished speaking, he pulled the shoulder strap of the backpack, inserted the map back, and stretched out his hand to signal Mr. Liao to walk forward.

When two people walk, they should walk along the low-lying road as much as possible, and the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature will be, and the more calories will be consumed by the human body. After a few miles, they began to walk slowly up the slope.

Neither of them spoke much along the way, and the wind in the snow began to get stronger, blowing on people's faces as if they had been blown by knives, and they had already put on all their warm clothes. The gloves were also worn, and the face was covered firmly, revealing only a pair of eyeballs on the outside.

The speed in the snow was not fast, and when they came out, it was already half of the morning, and it was noon, and they were only less than half the distance from the "stopping peak".

I looked at the mountain peaks that were still in the distance. Mr. Liao waved his hand to stop and rest.

The two of them then squatted down with their backs to the wind, took out some dry food from their bags and ate and drank the water in the kettle, and after eating, they only rested for more than ten minutes, turned around and moved a few times, and continued to walk forward.

On this day, they can be said to be basically walking, until the mountain of "Stopping Peak" appeared in front of their eyes, it was already half of the afternoon, and it was two or three hours before dark.

"Stopping Peak" is said to be a mountain, but in fact, it is better to say that it is a stone pillar. It is smooth all around, but it has the advantage of forming a col with the mountain on the leeward side of it, which cannot be blown in, just enough for people to rest.

Both of them carried a bag, Wang Shaoyi was carrying the equipment bought from the black market, while Mr. Liao was carrying a tent and moisture-proof mat, which were bought on the way here.

After they arrived. I started to set up tents, which are called tents. In fact, it's just a little bigger than a normal sleeping bag, which is only big enough for one person to sleep. Fortunately, it is specially used in the snow, and the rivets used to fix it below are particularly long, and a chisel can go down to a distance of half a meter, and you can bite into the mud under the snow.

This kind of tent is even in the ordinary strong wind. Basically, there will be no problems.

After the two of them set up their tents, they began to find a way to live, and the two of them are now experienced, and they have been prepared on the way here. When they went up the mountain, they had already found some strong pine branches to take with them, which would clear some of the snow from it. A pair of bonfires were raised in the same place.

Mr. Liao specially told Wang Shaoyi on the road that in addition to dealing with the harsh cold in the snowy mountains, he should also pay special attention to one thing, that is, snow wolves, when that kind of thing appears, it is in groups, and there is little food in the snow, so it is not surprising that sometimes it eats people.

This is also the purpose of making a fire, which is a kind of self-preservation.

With the exception of moths, intelligent animals are afraid of fire.

After they had lit the bonfire, the two of them spread out the mats and sat down in front of the bonfire while they roasted and talked.

"Mr. Liao, why is this place called Zhibu Peak, is there any special reason for such a strange name?" Wang Shaoyi stretched out his hand and said while roasting the fire, counting this doubt, which had already troubled him before.

"Well, there really is. My father has taken him to this place a few times, but every time he comes here, he basically stops and doesn't go forward. Mr. Liao leaned in front of the bonfire when he spoke, "I don't know when it started, but there is a saying that it is said that people who have passed the stop peak have no way back and can never come back." ”

"There's no turning back, how do you say that?" Wang Shaoyi became interested for a while.

"That's what I said. In the past, it was said that some people did not believe in this evil and insisted on leaving, but no one came back. Mr. Liao rubbed his hands in front of the bonfire and said.

"Why didn't you say that before?" Hearing this, Wang Shaoyi's curiosity was instantly replaced by a deep worry. The reason why I came to the imperial tomb of the king of heaven this time was to find the whereabouts of Shen Wuzhi and Wu Liancheng on the one hand, and on the other hand, I wanted to take the opportunity to touch some valuable things to go back.

If you want to say that you went to the black market, this time it can be regarded as a big loss.

However, all of this is based on ensuring safety, and if your life is gone, even if you touch the treasure of the world, it will be in vain.

"Hehe, I'm not done yet." Mr. Liao saw the change in Wang Shaoyi's face, grinned and said, "It was like this before, but later, I can't remember when it was, it was said that a Taoist priest came from the south to explore feng shui, he ignored the persuasion of the villagers and insisted on entering the mountain. ”

"Listen to what you mean, he's coming back later?" Wang Shaoyi followed the words.

"Well, I'm back, and I've brought back a message that the monsters in the snowy mountains have been subdued by him, and everyone can cross the mountain safely in the future." Mr. Liao replied with a smug smile.

"Pit, you're a deep pit..."Wang Shaoyi was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help complaining, "You pit bastard, you don't talk about the point." ”

Mr. Liao grinned, Wang Shaoyi looked at the fat head melon seeds, and couldn't help laughing again.

After a while, Wang Shaoyi added some firewood to the bonfire and said, "You keep the first half of the night vigil tonight, and I will keep watch for the second half of the night." ”

Mr. Liao pursed his mouth when he heard this, and said: "Why do you kid take care of me so much, the second half of the night in this snowy mountain is not easy to keep, it is cold and sleepy." ”

"What so much nonsense, I'll go lie down first, and you call me when it's time." Wang Shaoyi ignored Mr. Liao after speaking, bent down and went into the tent, and explained before entering, "Don't be too strong on fire, don't bring much firewood." ”

Mr. Liao agreed, and Wang Shaoyi went in to sleep.

After no one spoke, all that was left in the snow was the whining of the wind, and the sound of crying and crying always made people feel a little uncomfortable. The white expanse of the day was also invisible, only darkness remained, and all that could be seen was the piece illuminated by the bonfire.

Mr. Liao leaned forward again, and almost hugged the bonfire directly, but he was still a little shivering from the cold, and while roasting the fire, he covered his ears with his warm hands from time to time to keep warm.

Time passed unconsciously, and most of the night had passed, and the temperature around had dropped a lot, but fortunately, the wind was quieter.

Mr. Liao looked at his watch, and there was still half an hour before he had to change shifts, and the sleepiness in the sky suddenly came over, and he couldn't help but bow his head and lie down.

At this moment, in the snow five or six meters away, a pair of bright and bright eyes suddenly appeared in the originally dark night, it appeared very strangely, and after it appeared, it had been staring at the direction of the bonfire, motionless, as if observing something. (To be continued......)
