Shouldering the mission of recapturing the Imperial Dragon Map, the iron hooves of a thousand Eastern Emperor cavalry stepped into the Wulan Pass of Senran.

The place is covered in snow all year round, and even if there is a little forest, most of them are dead trees that have withered and withered.

The surrounding silence was only the crisp, rhythmic sound of the wind chimes hanging on the branches of the dead trees and the oxtail flags.

The captain stopped all the horses, the Ulan Snow Mountain is steep, and there are towering cliffs on both sides, if there is an enemy ambush, I am afraid that the army will be more than lucky.

"You, take ten horsemen with archers to reconnoiter the situation. ”

As soon as the order was issued, the archers and horsemen responded in unison, and quickly lined up and rushed into the mist-shrouded valley.

It's a cold hell, the captain sighs as he looks at the icicles in the mountains and the corpses that still don't rot in the snow.

Some of the deceased held the flagpole before they died, and after their deaths, they were trapped in the snow-capped mountains for hundreds of years with the tattered flags. The ruins of a ruined fortress beside the river with ice floes are littered with abandoned grain and grass carts and the wheels of ancient chariots.

The people of the Eastern Emperor fought with the herdsmen of the north for thousands of years, after six dynasties and forty-eight generations, even if they finally captured the city of Wulan Wang, the war has not ended.

The cavalry waited for a long time, staring at a Tianmen Mountain in front of them, which seemed to be the entrance to hell, and the gray clouds gathered in the Hutian Land outside the Tianmen, and even the moonlight became cold and dim.

There seemed to be the howl of a wild wolf in the mountain forest, causing everyone to tighten their weapons.

"It's cold, it's cold. ”

Some people began to rub their hands together to keep warm, and their bodies couldn't stop shaking. The torch in his hand also swayed slightly, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

The vast valley was so empty that even wild deer and snow sculptures could not be seen. Thinking of the ten miles of smoke in the pass, all that is left here is the wind and snow, and they have not yet stepped into the Ulan grassland, everyone feels that they have stepped into another world, so what kind of world will it be on the shady slope side of the mountain range?

At the end of the river appeared a dozen lonely shadows of horsemen, coming out of the woods, and the discerning ones were already shouting at them: "They are back!"

There was a faint rumbling sound like a drumble of animal skins, could it be the muffled thunder in the clouds?

Something didn't seem right with those shadows, the people on horseback were crooked, not at all like the archers sent out before.

The lieutenant gritted his teeth and swung his sword out of its sheath, and the others followed suit with their swords and spears.

The agitation that echoed in the Ulan Valley became clearer and clearer, and everyone felt a sense of ritual that resembled the barbarism of the ancient tribes.

Messy, crazy, wild, everyone tensed up, and even the long tune of Ulan could be heard.

"Hold on! This position is relatively safe, even if the enemy raids, we don't need to be afraid!" the captain shouted, but he actually felt very jealous in his heart.

I don't know where the fear comes from, like the fear that mortals have when they encounter man-eating beasts.

The drumbeat is restless, and the long tone is low and desolate.

Everyone looked around nervously, only to feel as if countless twisted figures had flashed in the woods, was this some kind of strange ritual dance, or was it simply a violent distortion of the body?

Even the war horses under him began to be restless, the sound of horse chirping was incessant, and the good horses under the captain began to disobey the call, as if they had a premonition of something extremely terrifying!

"What are you doing?" the lieutenant saw clearly, the dozen or so horsemen and horses on the opposite side were indeed our archers, but they were just ......

Their posture is strange, they look listless, and the expression on their faces is also stiff, like frozen wax figures.

In fact, they didn't need to report it to know that there was something wrong with this strange valley, and everyone was ready to meet the enemy's ambush.

However, something unexpected happened.

The lieutenant asked the herald next to him to inquire about the situation, but no matter how the herald shouted, the archers on the opposite side did not answer half a sentence.

The herald rode over in confusion, "Hey, talk, what's wrong with you?"

He inadvertently patted the first archer on the leg, and as a result, something fell off the archer's body.

The herald looked at it intently, and was immediately shocked, it was a human head that had been neatly cut off!

Then the archer, who had lost his center of gravity on horseback, fell backwards, tilting and falling as if his spine had been severely broken.

The herald's horse was also terribly frightened, and neighed wildly, and led the herald in the direction of leaving the valley, splashing the snow in all directions.

Then the other dozen or so archers did the same, one by one they fell to the ground, their throats were quickly cut by some kind of unusually sharp weapon, so that their heads and bodies were still connected without violently moving their bodies.

The captain's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and the fear completely suppressed the anger in his chest.

No one knew what terrible things had happened on the road ahead.

"Everyone...... Everyone ...... "There is a fierce ideological struggle going on in the captain's heart, should he continue to recover the holy relics?"

In all corners of the mountains, in all directions, on top of each other, a hole in the sound of a witch's song echoed through the wind and the rocks, carrying a drum.

The Ulans raided, and even then they were able to fight.

But what if not? not the Ulans, or, the one who is coming, not the people at all.

Well, I'm afraid things are far beyond imagination.

A huge black shadow appeared on the ground, something overwhelming in the sky appeared, and the entire night sky was completely swallowed up.

It seems to be black dust, no, accompanied by extreme cold, and a feeling of suffocation, and the darkness of the sky is casting a tsunami-like sky net, which is a terrifying force that can bury hundreds or even tens of thousands of people alive!

Yes, it was an avalanche, an unprecedented avalanche that happened at the same time across the entire surrounding snow-capped mountains!

The captain's face twisted together, and he finally tore out his throat and shouted, "Everyone...... Run!"

A fierce chill swept across the valley, the White Sea engulfed the Red River, and the torches in the hands of the cavalry were extinguished at the same time.

The darkness is from the outside to the inside, and the screams of the companions are also from the outside to the inside, becoming more and more heartbreaking.

The captain would never have thought of today's fate, but this is the case, in the face of nature, thousands of troops and horses will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"How could it be...... So?"

At this time, the captain looked up at the foggy sky overhead, and this scene really seemed to be the end of the world's qi.

The monstrous white waves seemed to freeze overhead for a moment.

He said: "The sun rises in the east, and the moon sinks into the sea of clouds. In this life, there is no complaint or regret. ”

The captain stopped his horse, the crumbling zenith above his head, the tsunami of snow behind him, and he was a small pebble submerged in the vast ocean.

He didn't want to run anymore. No matter how much you struggle, it is just in vain, and in the face of natural disasters, mortals have no strength to resist at all.

The lieutenant looked at all this with remorse, if he hadn't entered the valley in the first place, such a thing would not have happened.

One can only wait for death.

But who would have expected this, unless it was for God's help, otherwise the things in front of us would not be in line with common sense at all.

One by one, people were swallowed up by the snow, and after that, the avalanche did not stop, as if there was life, and the waves rushed in the direction of the Great Wall.

Before falling into darkness, the lieutenant heard the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon, and when he turned around, he found that—

"This, this is ......!"

Something that shouldn't exist.

#

Yanshuang Town also felt some kind of strange change.

The people of the town faintly heard a strange noise outside the Great Wall.

The strong cold wind blowing from outside shook the window lattices of the houses in the town, and some of the white porcelain placed in the courtyard was shaken to the ground and cracked into pieces. When some people go outside, the wind and snow immediately make it almost impossible to open their eyes.

After Bai Yuege dealt with his leg injury, he had already noticed these strange things when he returned to the county office with the county order, Zuo Qingyun and others. I didn't notice it when the county magistrate left, but now I realized that the calligraphy and paintings on the wall were scattered all over the ground, and the subordinates in the yamen were busy cleaning up the calligraphy and paintings that were blown by the wind.

"The master is back, hurry up!" A certain maid was so frightened that she almost broke the vase when she heard the door open.

"Be careful!" the county magistrate's wife crossed her waist and scolded, and when she passed by a servant who hung calligraphy and paintings upside down, she gave the guy a kick, "You don't want to say it directly!"

"What are you all doing?" When the county magistrate came back, he saw the chaos in the ya, and he was immediately angry, "That's the "Luo Shen Izumo Map" by Liang Binbao, a 'Miyayama resident'...... Hey, and you, and you, isn't this the "Virtuous Taoist" Nie Yu's "Virtuous Loader"! How expensive are these, what are you doing to eat!"

"I beg the county lord for forgiveness. ”

"Forget it. The county order thought of his old mother again, even a person who loves money as much as his life will cherish his mother, the county order sat on the chair with a bitter face, "When did it become an impostor, is my mother still alive......"

Annoying things always come one after another, and at this time, the wife of the county magistrate suddenly shouted: "Master, we have a lost painting and can't find it anywhere!"

The county order, who was already a little annoyed, slapped the table directly, and the tea lid fell off, "Which picture is lost?!"

"The old lady's very old picture of "Ulansai above". ”

"Oh, that Hu man's drawing, it's not worth much. The county commander breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't bother me with this kind of thing next time." ”

Bai Yuege had been watching this farce since just now, if it was someone else, I was afraid that it would just be funny, but this Lord Bai, who was also the guard of the Imperial Shadow Sword, would never let go of any details.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Thinking so in his heart, he paced back to the courtyard on crutches, and the behavior of the Ulan people was really incredible.

If it is normal for the so-called "Imperial Dragon Picture" to be lost, then what about this picture? I'm afraid it is not blown away, such a large painting can only be stolen by someone.

The sky in the distance was a little overcast, and it stands to reason that after so long, it should be ready for dawn.

Bai Yuege touched his chin and thought about it, and Zuo Qingyun, a scattered rider waiting outside the door, inadvertently said a word: "Why is this god not only not bright, but even darker?"

"Huh?"

Zuo Qingyun suddenly let out another exclamation: "Really, the color of the clouds over there is receding!

Thoughts were broken.

A large group of soldiers from the guard station gathered around to watch, and one by one they also pointed to each other with their fingers pointing to each other.

Bai Yuege followed the observation, but now, the curious inquiries of the soldiers turned into shouts.

"Snow, a lot of snow, snow that obscures the sky!"

Bai Yuege's pupils dilated in an instant, and even he, who was usually calm, had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

No, it didn't just seem like snow, it was a blizzard, a white sandstorm, and it was close to the Great Wall.

No, it's still not right! It must be wrong! Bai Yuege saw clearly, there seemed to be a hideous face hidden in the middle of the white sandstorm.

It spread its fangs and stretched out its claws, and its entire face was the curtain of ice.

It's going to eat everything in Yanshuang Town. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

At this time, Bai Yuege heard Zuo Qingyun say again: "Above our heads, there is a huge face smiling at us. ”
