The hinterland of the Far East

After a night of strict guard, the 150,000 army finally survived until dawn without incident. The calm of the night made everyone breathe a little relaxed. Along the way, there were too many nights and countless tragic things that made the soldiers of the entire army nervous and panicked all day long.

Contrary to the soldiers, after this journey, Hanqi became more and more afraid to relax. Such a peaceful night made Hanqi faintly uneasy. Perhaps the night in the Far East was too quiet, that is, there was no cold wind howling, and there was no sound of snow falling and collapsing. It's like the calm before a storm, and it makes people feel anxious.

Compared with Han Qi, Shui Lianggong was more concerned about the ice field he was about to enter, and there was a faint worry in his lookout's eyes: Is the legendary thousand-year-old treasure really buried here? Is the prophecy of the psychic master really fulfilled? If he came at such a great risk and found nothing, wouldn't he be too disappointed by his own persistence... Thinking of this, Shui Lianggong couldn't help but clench his sweat-soaked palms.

In the convoy of supplies in the camp, Qiye raised his eyes to look at the endless ice field of the plains, and a sigh rose in his heart: What kind of magic force can sharpen the entire ground level as smooth and flat as a mirror? It is as beautiful as the ice realm that does not see the sky. It seems to be like a dressing mirror embedded in the ground by the Nine Heavens Fairy, reflecting the bright sky of the galaxy. And where does this endless ice field extend? Although it is daylight, the deepest part of the ice field is a thick pitch blackness, and what is it?... Little Qiye's heart was bubbling like a fountain, and a series of questions surfaced.

It didn't take long for the army to regroup and begin to slowly march towards the smooth ice field. The wolf guards and Liu soldiers, who were in charge of the guards, took out their blades one after another and gathered around the side of the cold flag, already guarding against an unknown attack. And Shui Lianggong rode with Han Qi and walked in the middle of the procession.

"Brother Shui Liang, in your opinion, where should this thousand-year-old treasure be buried in this ice field?" Han Qi asked tentatively after watching for a while.

"This ice field is vast and endless. Where exactly the thousand-year-old treasure will be hidden, Liang really can't detect it. Shui Lianggong shook his head and sighed.

"Although Liang can't guess, the thousand-year-old treasure has gone through thousands of years, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, so there must be a vision in the place where the treasure is buried. Shui Lianggong added.

"Oh, even Brother Shui Liang can't find the exact location. But looking for a needle in a haystack based on visions of heaven and earth, and searching for them on this endless ice field. "Hanqi was a little helplessly lost, but he didn't expect to come here with all the hard work, and he lacked the key means to find it.

"Lord of the City, why don't your subordinates use the "Four Seas Dragon Plate" to find out?" the wolf guard suggested to Han Qi when he saw the opportunity.

"That's fine, trouble General Wolf. After hearing the wolf guard's proposal, Han Qi readily agreed. No matter how it compares to blindly searching, you might as well give it a try with a spiritual weapon. Moreover, the Four Seas Dragon Disk is also a thing that specializes in detecting spiritual power, so maybe it can really be found by relying on it.

The wolf guard quickly took out the "Four Seas Dragon Plate" from the "Spirit Ring" and held it in the palm of his hand, and then injected spiritual power into it with a movement of his heart. The spiritual needle on the "Four Seas Dragon Plate", after receiving the spiritual power, began to rotate non-stop, gradually getting faster and faster, and finally slowed down, pointing to the east.

Seeing this result, the wolf guards were not sure, according to the direction indicated by the spirit disk, the burial place of the treasure should still be in the depths of the eastern ice field.

After Han Qi and Shui Lianggong saw the results of the "Four Seas Dragon Plate", they discussed for a while. Decision: Continue to set out deep into the ice field to the east, after all, the army has been advancing towards the east since its departure.

Qiye followed behind the horse carriage of the camp, and along the way, the captain of the camp always handed over all the dangerous things to Qiye and other miscellaneous servants: whether it was in the ice and snow forest, in the woods infested with giant wolves, cutting wood and making fires, or in the ice and snow, in the snow where the ghosts were flying, taking snow and boiling water. The captain of the gang hid strictly in the carriage alone, and the army was stationed at night to light a fire and cook, and he would never come out.

For such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Qiye is disgusted. If it weren't for his own "Ling Bu", he would have escaped several times and almost died. And the other miscellaneous servants in the camp were not as lucky as Seven Nights. The number of miscellaneous servants in the entire battalion has increased from four or five hundred at the beginning to less than forty or fifty people alive now, and most of them have died of hunger and cold. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer miscellaneous servants in the camp that can be driven by the captain, and Seven Nights is also the only slave boy in the camp who has survived to the present.

An army of 150,000 walked on the vast and endless ice field, like a colony of ants migrating on the ice. Small and fragile, as if a gust of wind could wipe out an entire army. After a day of walking on the ice sheet, I found nothing, not a single vision or any movement. There is always an unchanging layer of ice in front of you, and it is difficult to see anything except the stars in the sky.

As night fell, the army began its camp for the night.

The night sky on the ice field is not pitch black, but shimmering with countless stars in the Milky Way. Tranquil, splendid, beautiful, dreamy... The starry night sky, reflecting the smooth mirror-like ice surface, the streamering scene, like the embrace of two fantasy worlds, shows the extreme movement between heaven and earth. The starry sky and the ice field, the scenery reflect each other and merge into one. Standing on the ice field, it is like standing in the depths of the Milky Way, making people unable to distinguish where is the sky and where is the earth.

Seven nights staring at the vast starry sky, an indescribable shock, trembling: the world is so big, the starry sky is vast, you can appreciate it once in a lifetime, such a strange scene that you have never seen in your life, it is enough to comfort the soul. For the first time in my life, I am sincerely glad that I was born in such a beautiful world!

Once upon a time, in the slave mining camp, the little seven nights experienced too much human suffering and bitterness: the whiplash wound on the body that will never heal, the year-round lack of food, the soreness that weighs heavily on the shoulders and cannot lift it, the entangled and dying disease, the usual beatings, and the wind and sun, etc... There are many kinds of lists, and they are too many to count. The entire slave mine camp made Seven Nights see almost all the suffering at the bottom of the world.

Thinking about the past, unconsciously, two lines of hot tears flowed through his rough cheeks. When he was in the slave camp, Seven Nights felt infinite hatred for being born in such a hell on earth. And at this moment, Qiye was so lucky, it turned out that there could still be such a fascinating beauty in this world, and everything that had happened seemed to have been compensated.

Quietly, Seven Nights lay alone beside the carriage of the camp, looking at the night sky: fantasizing about the hundreds of millions of stars in the sky, whether every shining star belongs to a person's happiness? If so, which one is the happiness that belongs to oneself? Seven Nights searched carefully in the Milky Way like a vast ocean, and in such a search full of happiness and hope, Seven Nights spent the first happy and unforgettable night since birth...

The sky is getting brighter, and the stars are dimming. By the time the morning light first rises, the Milky Way fades into daylight. The army, which had rested all night, began to set off one after another.

In the hinterland of the ice field, there are many seasons in one day, and the weather is changeable. Blizzard and sunshine overlapped with strong winds and temperature differences. Although the 150,000 treasure hunters did not encounter danger, the violent temperature difference made many soldiers feel unwell.

For a moment, the sun was shining. The soldiers wore thick cotton jackets and armor: airtight, impermeable to heat, sweaty. But it didn't take long for the hot sweat to dry, a blizzard hit, and the ice wind soaked the body. The scorching air blew away in an instant, and the bitter cold that froze through the bone marrow caught people off guard.

With such a violent cold and heat, many soldiers experienced symptoms of dizziness and vomiting. Nanaya also felt dizzy and dizzy in such a hot and cold alternation, with weakness in his limbs and sluggishness. And because the spiritual cultivators in the army can be adjusted in time with aura, their bodies are fine. But most of the ordinary soldiers could not bear such torture, and the march of the army encountered new obstacles.

After nearly a day's march, the army advanced a few dozen kilometers to the east. Shui Lianggong considered that most of the soldiers were sick and could not walk, which was not conducive to the excavation of thousand-year-old treasures. Therefore, it was proposed that the army should be encamped in advance. Then, the military pharmacists began to make medicinal soup for the disease. Due to the large number of sick soldiers, each person was given only a few spoonfuls of the decoction, but it was better than nothing, and the soldiers with mild symptoms had basically improved after drinking the decoction and resting for a while.

At night, Hanqi walked out of the camp with sorrow and anxiety, looking at the west anxiously. Two months have passed since the departure, and his 100,000 troops have suffered huge losses, but now they have not even seen the shadow of the thousand-year-old treasure. I don't know how far I have to go, and how many unknown risks there are.

"Hey...", he sighed helplessly

"Brother Han is worried about the thousand-year-old treasure, right?" Not far away, Shui Lianggong saw Han Qi standing alone outside the military tent, and asked with concern.

"But isn't it, Han and Brother Shui Liang have ventured here for more than two months, and now that the treasure has not been seen, it has suffered such a big loss, isn't Brother Shui Liang not anxious at all?"

"How can you not be in a hurry, you and I have made such a great sacrifice and gained nothing, and now even the consumption of materials is almost running out. Mizura explained.

"Oh, then why can't you see Brother Shui Liang worrying at all?" said Han Qi.

"Liang is naturally very worried, but I have a hunch that we should not be far from the thousand-year-old treasure. Shui Lianggong seemed to be very confident, but Han Qi was skeptical.

And in the middle of the conversation between the two. An urgent report came from the night patrol soldiers: Report! There is an unknown vision ahead!

After hearing the emergency report, Hanqi was overjoyed: Quick!

So, Han Qi and Shui Lianggong immediately followed the patrol soldiers and came to the forefront of the army. I saw that in the darkness ahead, behind a distant iceberg, countless fantastic scenes flashed: the wonderful night light was like a long rainbow lying wave for a while, and it was like a dragon playing on the peak. After a while, it was scattered like countless green silks, and gradually it was like a lonely moon, floating on the top of the iceberg, changing like the aurora sky, beautiful and phantom...

"Haha~, that's right! That vision should be a thousand-year-old treasure, finally let me find it!"

"This vision, with such a strong aura, should be the place where the treasure is buried. However, looking at this distance, it should not be far, and it is estimated that it will be able to arrive tomorrow. Shui Lianggong carefully confirmed

"Why go tomorrow, tonight and overnight!" Han Qi was so excited that he couldn't wait.

"Don't do it! march at night, the road ahead is uncertain, dangerous and unknown. Shui Lianggong stopped unusually calmly.

"Okay! Tomorrow. After being reminded by Shui Lianggong, Hanqi gradually calmed down. Then return to the camp with patience and eagerness, and prepare for tomorrow's treasure hunt.
