Wu Gen and Sun Hong followed the flow of people, and on both sides of the team, there were soldiers riding horses and holding lances on guard.

Since disembarking, the group had no mounts, and had to hurry on foot at the urging of the soldiers' whips. This walk is seven days, starting in the morning and ending at dusk, and there is no food every day, and you can rest only at night.

When you are thirsty, you can only pick up the residual snow on the ground to quench your thirst. The snow mixed with mud and rocks made the people at the back of the line unable to even look at it, so they had to break some branches and put them in their mouths to quench their thirst.

When they are hungry, they either eat the dry food they carry with them, or they can only snatch food from others, and some people even cut the animal skins wrapped around their bodies into small strips with knives, chewing and swallowing them with great effort.

In the end, some people could not persevere, and gradually some people fell behind, and some people fell to the ground and never got up again.

Wu Gan once saw a person, physically exhausted, lying on the ground, blocking the progress of the procession, and was thrown by the soldiers to the side of the road, looking at the rapid progress of the team and crying, begging others to take it with him.

After all, the opportunity to change one's destiny and cross life classes can be encountered several times in a lifetime for an ordinary person.

It's just that at this moment, who has the spare strength to carry others.

Born in heaven and earth, like a big wave sweeping sand, sailing against the current, and finally arriving at the top of the mountain, there are a few people. The countless bones and mud wandering spirits on the way forward are just four simple words in the book, and all living beings are there.

The remnants of snow were trampled on, leaving only ugliness.

Wu Yan tied a rope around Sun Hong's waist and the other tied to himself, stumbling on the muddy and snowy road.

Sun Hong, a carefree guy who has lived a carefree life since he was a child, couldn't hold on on to it on the third day, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he was almost like a walking corpse. If it weren't for Wu Gan taking care of him all the way, I'm afraid he would have fallen down and become an ice corpse under everyone's feet.

Wu Gan runs the Yijing over and over again, keeping his body active at all times, so that he can not only guard against possible attacks, but also use it to familiarize himself with the Yijing, and the consequence is that the amount of food will increase dramatically.

At night, Wu Geng chewed on a branch that still had some bark, his eyes glowed green, looking left and right, as if he would choose someone to devour at any time.

Sun Hong had already fainted with hunger, and in order to prevent him from biting himself, Wu Yan stuffed a piece of wood in his mouth, and from time to time there was a harsh creaking sound in the dark.

Wu Yan got up and walked towards a bonfire, next to which sat a group of young men in white. These days, this group has not lacked food and drink, not only is they well prepared before the trip, but they also replenish food from others from time to time along the way.

Walking to the campfire, Wu Jian squatted down and stared at a deer leg roasting on the fire. The bald man next to the young man was about to scold, but was stopped by him.

The young man in white smiled playfully, his slender fingers were clean and elegant, and he gently turned the somewhat burnt deer leg, "This brother, there is something." Under the swaying of the firelight, the handsome face looked a little strange.

"I want to buy something to eat." Wu Yan replied hoarsely, his stomach screaming uncontrollably.

"Hahaha." A few people next to the boy burst out laughing. These days, this is the first person to dare to speak to them like this.

The young man in white couldn't help laughing, "This brother said that he was laughing, if it was on weekdays, it would be fine." Leaning forward, "On the path of trial, food is comparable to gold.

You know, if you eat one more bite, you can live a life. Swapping our lives for yours is fitting for you, huh? Besides, why do so many people here buy from me alone? ”

Wu Gen turned his head to look around, and said slowly: "When I was a bandit, there was a rule in the stockade that women and poor people should not rob. These people are only left with living rations, and it is impossible to sell them, and it is impossible to rob them, either they will die or I will die, which is against the rules of the Tao.

You're the only one who has some surplus here, so you're cheeky enough to ask for some, and besides, I'm buying it. When it came to buying words, Wu Gen accentuated his tone and took out five taels of silver from his arms.

Before the young man could speak, the bald man beside him said viciously: "Get away, what is the difference between five taels of silver and the stones on the ground at this time." If you don't go again, you will unload your bones one by one. ”

Wu Yan didn't pay attention to the big man, but still looked at the young man directly, "You are a smart person, I don't ask for much." ”

The big man was furious and was about to get up, but was pulled by the young man.

The young man tilted his head and looked at Wu Gan, "You are threatening me, normally speaking, I should be furious at this time, and order my subordinates to rush up and chop you into pulp."

It's just that I'm in a good mood today, so I'll allow you to buy some food. As he spoke, he motioned to his subordinates to take out a palm-sized bread, "Five taels of silver are indeed only worth these, do you do this business or not." ”

Looking at the dough cake, and glancing at five taels of silver, Wu Yan reached out and took the dough cake, turned around and returned to Sun Hong's side.

When Wu Yan walked away, the bald man was a little puzzled, "Childe, why do you want to give him food, there are so many of us here, is it possible that we are still afraid of him." ”

The young man's face was a little gloomy, "This person gives me the feeling that it is very dangerous, along the way, everyone else is hiding far away, only he dares to come up and ask for it."

Forget it, try not to make waves again before you officially embark on the road to death. It's not too late to clean him up when he enters the road of death. When the time comes, I'm going to watch him eat an elephant. ”

Wu Yan took the dough cake, returned to Sun Hong's side, broke his mouth, tore the dough into pieces, and put it into his mouth little by little.

Originally, Sun Hong was unconscious, and tasted the taste of the cake in a daze, snatched the cake like a tiger, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without even chewing. After a bite of bread, Sun Hong was still not satisfied, looking for food in confusion.

Looking at his empty hands, Wu Yan sighed, got up and left the team, and walked into the darkness.

"What are you going for?" The black-faced officer, holding a knife in both hands, stood under a tree and asked coldly.

Wu Yan glanced back, "Look for something to eat." ”

"There are many evil beasts in the mountains here, so you are not afraid of dying in them."

"Since it's all death, I don't want to starve to death."

The officer was stunned, this was the first time that a trialist had spoken back to him, "That's the same, set off early tomorrow morning, if you can't come back, you will die." ”

Wu Yan agreed, and melted into the boundless darkness.

So everyone stared at this somewhat thin back, disappearing step by step.

It's not that no one thought about going out to forage for food, but when they saw the huge hoof prints on the snow along the way, and the terrifying roar of the beast, they dispelled this idea and robbed the safety of the people around them.

In the middle of the night, Sun Hong woke up and looked around, but he didn't find Wu Gan's figure, and he couldn't help but become anxious. After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't hold it back, and whispered to wake up the people around him and asked.

After learning what happened, Sun Hong walked to the edge of the team, looked at the direction of Wu Gan's departure, and sat down silently.

There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and the black-faced officer looked into the distance, sighed, and ordered everyone to get up and set off. Everyone was taking care of their luggage, only Sun Hong was still looking into the distance stupidly.

No one cared about him, and countless people walked up and down in front of him, without even looking at him, as if he didn't exist.

The team was about to start, Sun Hong suddenly stood up, pointed to the distance and stumbled away.

Following his gestures, in the faint morning light, a person stepped on the snow and thick ice, the white mist on his body was steaming, and his steps were heavy, walking towards the team.

Seeing the restlessness of the crowd, the black-faced officer turned his head in surprise and was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face that was always like a piece of iron.

With Sun Hong's support, Wu Yan came to the crowd, covered in blood, carrying a huge bear leg, which was even bigger than his face.

Wu Gan's face was fierce, and the murderous aura in his body was almost substantial, and his gloomy and sympathetic gaze scanned the surroundings, as if he would burst out and kill at any time. Everyone avoided his eyes, this kind of murderer who does not want to die, do not confront him unless it is absolutely necessary.

The team continued to move forward, Wu Gen took out a large piece of bear meat that had been roasted and handed it to Sun Hong, and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly, eat with swagger, don't hide it." ”

Sun Hong took a few big bites, delicious, he had never eaten such a delicious thing in his life. Looking at the covetous eyes of the people around him, he was a little proud, and he slowed down his eating.

Wu Gan's face was tense, his eyes were high, and he strode forward. Seeing Sun Hong like this, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Eat faster, I don't know if it's very tiring to pretend to be ruthless." ”

Sun Hong came over, "Captain Wu, you are the one who can kill a giant bear, who else dares to provoke it." ”

", that's what you killed. They were sleeping in the cave, and I drugged them and died. Wu Yan said angrily.

Sun Hong was shocked, and quickly ate the meat in his hand. Fang Cai is really dead, feasting in a group of hungry people, it is really the old birthday star who eats poison and is tired of life.

After three more days, the team finally reached the end of the trek.

In a huge valley, a huge circular arch was erected. If there is a wall of light in the door, there will be ripples from time to time.

In front of the arch, several tents had already been erected, and from time to time cavalrymen dressed in armor came and went.

An officer with a fierce face and a scarf on his head sat at a table with a disdainful look at the flow of people who looked like refugees and vegetables.

When everyone had arrived, the officer stood up and said in a loud voice, "The person who reads the number plate number comes forward to receive the waist card, and after entering, he will stay for thirty days, and after thirty days, he will return here according to the waist card."

The rules are very simple, to get the Wuhua stone, and the top 20 with the most waist cards at the same time are the winners. As he spoke, he took out a fist-sized jade with hidden five-colored mist and raised his hand.

"It's just that there is a formation here, and after entering, it will be teleported in one place at will, as for what kind of boundary it falls into, it depends on your luck." The officer looked at the crowd slyly.

Then the officer read the number aloud, and the men who had been counted moved forward one after another, and when they had gathered three hundred, they motioned for them to enter the archway.

Wu Gen and Sun Hong were placed in the third group. Fortunately, the remaining five Dingyuan City Army servants are also in this group.

These five people were headed by a military commander named Bian He, who was reluctant to get close to Wu Yan from the beginning. Wu Yan didn't care about this, a Sun Hongye had already made himself anxious.

It's just that when you are about to die, since you are also in the army, you still have to say hello.

"Chief Bian, you are willing to enter with the two of you." Wu Yan smiled and accosted. When the first two groups entered, Wu Gen found that all the people in the group were holding hands when they entered the arch, thinking that they should still be able to get together after entering.

There are more people, and there is always more chance of winning.

Bian He looked at the other four people and pondered for a moment, "Okay, then please ask Wu Wuchang to take care of it." ”

Wu Gen stepped forward and hugged Bian He's shoulder, "It's easy to say, they are all from the Xiang Army, since they should be of one heart and one mind, watch and help each other, I am seven of us with one heart, why not be afraid of those young people." ”

Bian He laughed a few times awkwardly, and quietly got out of Wu Gan's embrace.

"Pull me as you go in." Wu Yan walked back and instructed Sun Hong. In this kind of place, this young man who has lived a good life since he was a child is a little white sheep, and if he goes in alone, he will probably die and he will not know how to die.

Finally, it was the turn of the third group to enter. The seven of them held each other's hands and walked through the archway, and they felt dizzy in front of them, and they were already in a desert.
