Everyone walked up the mountain road, and everyone on the road was also very vigilant, but they didn't find anything unusual, but it seemed that when they were about to reach the top of the mountain, the mountain road slowly disappeared, and the white expanse around them was covered by heavy snow.

The weather became very cold, and the snow flakes fell from the sky like goose feathers, covering everyone's body and slowly accumulating, and at this time it looked like a group of snowmen slowly moving forward in the snow.

The road seems to have no end, although I feel the top of the mountain, but I can't find the way up the mountain, everyone is very impatient, the weather is too cold, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that before I find the road, people have frozen to death on this snow.

Finally, everyone slowly stopped, and for a moment the group of hundreds of people fell silent, only those who rubbed their hands together, jumped on the spot, and those who were frozen hiding in a snowdrift to avoid the snow, and seemed to hear a trace of crying.

Xia Ling's cheeks were also flushed from the snowflake jelly, but she seemed to be very calm emotionally, Xia Ling said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely find a way up the mountain." ”

Someone asked, "I can't hold it anymore, it's snowing too much, it's too cold." ”

Xia Ling stared at the person who spoke, and scolded: "It's not promising, how did you come here?" The man didn't say anything more to Xia Ling, he lowered his head and talked to himself, saying: "I knew that if it wasn't for the fifty taels of silver, I would do some small business at home, and I wouldn't have died here." ”

Another person said: "On this snowy day, after looking for so long a day, I can't find the way up the mountain, it seems that we are going to die here." ”

Ye Qiu was also muttering in his heart at this time, now everyone's emotions have dropped to the lowest point, Ye Qiu is also thinking, it is better to find a way to go back, but the route from the mountain on this road has long been unclear, then again, even if it is retreated to the bottom of the mountain now, but the six paths have also been closed, and the beasts and monsters under the mountain are wandering in groups, and going down the mountain is a dead end.

Ye Qiu lowered his head and pondered, thinking, "Fortunately, there are no terrible monsters here. Thinking like this, I suddenly saw a huge snowball moving in the distance. Ye Qiu originally thought it was an avalanche, but the snow looked like it was walking towards this side, Ye Qiu was startled, he had already seen the monster clearly, Ye Qiu shouted: "Everyone be careful, there is a snow demon." ”

Sure enough, at this time, there were more than a dozen snow demons in the distance, the snow demon's whole body was composed of white snow, snow head, snow body, two thick snow legs, was stepping on the snow and walking towards everyone, the most terrifying thing is that the snow demon's snow hand actually had sharp long thorns, which looked very dazzling in the white snow.

Some people stood up and wanted to run, but they didn't run a few steps, they fell to the ground, everyone was too hungry and tired, although the enemy was at this time, but they really didn't have the strength to run anymore, running was death, not running was death, the result was the same. At this time, everyone finally fell into the greatest fear.

Xia Ling was still standing not far away, her lips were purple at this time, but she didn't say anything more, her two pairs of eyes stared at the snow demon that was approaching them, as if she was thinking about something in her heart, but her momentum still looked so heroic.

Ye Qiu thought to himself, it would be good if there was a fire around, so that there would be no need to be afraid of the snow demon, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Ye Qiu suddenly felt that a bunch of raging flames were burning not far from him, Ye Qiu shouted excitedly and involuntarily: "There is a fire there!"

Everyone ignored Ye Qiu, they just thought that Ye Qiu was crazy, how could there be fire in this ice and snow, everyone was already slowly preparing for a life-and-death duel with the snow demon, in this terrifying and tense moment, no one would pay attention to Ye Qiu's crazy words. Ye Qiu also felt that it was not his own hallucination, yes, how could there be fire in this icy and snowy place? Ye Qiu used to learn from the master in the Taoist temple to sit quietly for a long time when he was upset, Ye Qiu closed his eyes and calmed himself down for a while, and then when he opened his eyes, he really didn't see a trace of raging flames anymore, Ye Qiu sighed softly and said, "It seems that it is really my own illusion." ”

But a phenomenon made Ye Qiu frightened, at this time he couldn't see the snow demon, but everyone was still panicked, the flying snow in the sky was empty and sprinkled from the sky, Ye Qiu laughed and was about to jump up, he shouted: "The snow demon is gone! But everyone didn't relax in the slightest, no one paid attention to Ye Qiu's shouts, they stared at the distance vigilantly, as if facing a great enemy, Ye Qiu ran to a person's side, and said happily: "The snow demon is gone, why are you not happy?"

The man glanced at Ye Qiu with slanted eyes, pushed Ye Qiu away violently, and yelled loudly angrily, "Get away." ”

Ye Qiu fell heavily to the ground, buried most of his body by the thick snow, Ye Qiu thought to himself, "What's the matter? Did they all fall under some spell? Or did they have a problem?"

Ye Qiu saw that Xia Ling was also standing not far away at this time, still staring at the distance vigilantly, as if those snow demons were walking towards them, Ye Qiu ran over and said, "The snow demons are gone." ”

Xia Ling looked at Ye Qiu distressedly, sighed, and said, "Let's deal with these snow demons, you go and rest." ”

Ye Qiu felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly said, "The snow demon is really gone, why don't you believe me? There is no snow demon at all." ”

Xia Ling first ignored Ye Qiu's words, but Ye Qiu's words only shook in Xia Ling's head, Xia Ling was excited, looked at Ye Qiu, who was looking at him seriously, and hurriedly asked, "You say, what did you just say?"

Ye Qiu said calmly: "I said that the snow demon is gone, you close your eyes, close your eyes and look at the world again, the snow demon will be gone." ”

Xia Ling looked at Ye Qiu strangely for a long time, at that moment, as if he understood something, he raised his head, let himself slowly become calm, the sky was full of snow, she slowly closed her eyes, in a calm consciousness like water, she seemed to have no longer felt the cold of the snow, and the cold on her body seemed to have slowly receded, the season was already in spring, she could already smell the fragrance of the flowers, as well as the crisp bird calls, the gurgling stream.

When Xia Ling opened her eyes, everything in front of her made her full of surprise, she was in the depths of a beautiful place like a paradise, the illusion she was thinking about just now turned out to be all true, Xia Ling looked at everything around her, those companions were still like great enemies, as if those snow demons were still walking towards them.

Xia Ling finally reacted, she let out a hearty laugh loudly, and said, "It turns out that all this is a fantasy in our imagination, and this place must be a fantasy set up by the people of Yunwuling."

Ye Qiu also seemed to understand when he heard Xia Ling say this, and he said happily: "This is a trick, I heard the master in the Taoist temple say before, there is a kind of magic that will make people mistake illusory things for the truth, and people who do not have Taoist cultivation are easy to be fooled and can't see the real situation clearly." ”

Xia Ling said: "You are really right, this is a high-level illusion, we people have walked all the way together, because of fear, so cranky, affect each other, the strange birds under the mountain, and the beasts chasing us, may be just imaginary phantom beasts." ”

Xia Ling quickly ran to the place where the Phantom Snow Demon had just appeared, and shouted, "All this is fake, all this is fake." Everyone's faces were like pale paraffin, looking at the snow demon who was spreading its sharp claws and tearing Xia Ling to pieces.

Xia Ling was very happy, and still shouted to everyone there: "Everyone close your eyes, don't think nonsense, all this is our illusion, you are all thinking about spring, thinking about flowers, thinking about all good things." ”

Someone believed Xia Ling's words, closed his eyes and followed Xia Ling's words, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Xia Ling was really standing in the distance unharmed, and he didn't see the shadow of the snow demon at all.

More and more people began to understand slowly, but a quarter of an hour later, everyone who was desperate to fight to the death just now is now bathed in the joy of spring flowers blooming and warblers flying and grass growing.

Xia Ling looked at Ye Qiu gratefully and said, "This is really the illusion set up by those people in Yunwuling, we are almost trapped in it, who are you and where did you come from." ”

Ye Qiu also had a very good impression of Xia Ling, he respectfully reported his name and background, and was afraid that Xia Ling would look down on him, so he said that he was the most famous Taoist priest in the local Taoist temple in Tea City.

Xia Ling said: "I see, no wonder you can crack this illusion, it seems that you have some ability, better than us people, thanks to you this time, everyone will remember your kindness in the future." ”

Everyone also looked at Ye Qiu gratefully, and at this time, the voices of all kinds of praise came towards Ye Qiu like snowflakes. "This boy is really handsome. "This young man must have a bright future in the future. "It's a talent. "He knows Taoism, it's not easy, so I'll have to ask him for advice in the future." "What a good boy. ”

Ye Qiu was praised almost to heaven! He grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, no one took him seriously, since the Taoist temple collapsed a few years ago, he lived a life like a stray dog, and now he has been praised by so many people from all over the world, Ye Qiu's heart is simply more beautiful than eating honey, Ye Qiu's heart is happy at this time.

Everyone was happy, a white and crystal bridge fell from the sky in the distance, only to see the end of the suspended overpass can see a huge white jade made of elegant gate, engraved with three dragons flying phoenix dance big characters on the gate: "Yunwu Ridge." ”

Xia Ling was the first to find out about all this, and she couldn't help but say loudly: "It's here, it's finally here!"

Everyone was also happy, and some people couldn't help but look into the distance with tears in their eyes, and everyone cheered and jumped, and began to slowly walk up the overpass. Ye Qiu was also very excited, now he couldn't remember the matter of escaping in his heart, after going through so many tribulations, he also wanted to see what kind of place Yunwuling was.

Xia Ling didn't forget to advise: "Tidy up your clothes and pay attention to your image." It turned out that everyone had gone through hardships and risks along the way, their clothes were ragged, and their faces were haggard like beggars, Xia Ling's words reminded everyone, and everyone hurriedly cleaned up by themselves, but not to mention any spare clothes and objects on their bodies, even the weapons they originally carried with them had already been lost, and there was no way, so everyone had to symbolically pull their trouser legs and tidy up the corners of their clothes, even if they cleaned up themselves.
