No Return to the Mountain, No Return to the People Chapter 52 A Bad Omen
The soldiers on the snow-capped mountains are now burdened, because the rest of the horses are carrying the armor and weapons of the soldiers.
Steel armor is worn on the body, only heavier and colder. Therefore, the soldiers who are in a lower realm and have a weaker ability to withstand the cold have already taken off their armor and wrapped themselves in thick cotton clothes and leather pants.
When the last war horse finally froze to death in the ice and snow, a clear ridge of ice and snow finally appeared overhead, hanging high in the sky. The soldiers cheered.
Everyone understands the truth of Wangshan running a dead horse, but after all, he sees hope. As long as you climb over that ridge, you will be a mountain of no return like a paradise.
The slopes in this area were relatively gentle, and the team found a sheltered place and camped on the spot to rest.
Chang Yiwen summoned all the generals above the centurion, plus the array master and Zhu Tianjiao to the main general's camp to discuss matters.
First of all, I estimated the distance, and it should be able to reach the summit in about seven or eight days. After crossing the summit, it was much easier to descend the mountain to the pandi, and with the strong physique of the cavalry guards, it should be possible to reach the source of the Si'an River at the foot of the mountain in two days.
As for how to use troops, how to fight, how to ensure that there is no leakage, and how to leave no chickens and dogs after arriving on the plains, it will take a lot of thought. The purpose of convening all the generals this time is also to hope that everyone will contribute ideas.
In the past, after setting up the camp, the soldiers would quickly hide in the camp, silently gnawing on dry food, and hugging each other for warmth. However, in today's garrison, all the officers and men of the army have changed their tired posture in the past, and they have walked out of the camp one after another, drinking and chatting with each other.
Although there is very little wine that can be brought here. Everyone took a small sip and still had a lot of fun.
When everyone was relaxed, there was joy and sorrow in the camp. A white shadow suddenly flashed out of the snow, rushing on all fours, as fast as lightning, and in an instant it passed through the crowd gathered everywhere.
I only heard a series of wails and screams, passing by everyone's ears, and before people could react, the white shadow was already carrying a wounded black-clothed soldier in his mouth, and he rushed away, submerging into the twilight snow under the slope.
No one could even see how that guy had already injured at least a monk or martial artist of at least the second realm in the lightning and flint, and he fled in an instant with the wounded soldier in his mouth like an eagle catching a chicken.
The soldiers could only faintly see the figure of the white shadow, which looked like a white bear.
The screams of the wounded soldier gradually ceased as the white bear disappeared. I saw countless pieces of black-clothed cloth, blowing up into the air from the twilight mist under the slope with the cold breath, fluttering, and crossing the ridge of Wuqi Peak.
Presumably, the soldier's body had been torn to shreds, like the padded jacket of his clothes.

The mountains of the reckless Xiling, in the heavy mist, the green mountains are like daisies, which are particularly continuous and magnificent. The Xiling white ape squatted at the entrance of his cave, his eyes deep, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
He must have missed the hunter father and son a little.
That young man, three years ago, he inadvertently snatched the Yajiang Demon Pill that he hunted desperately. Then he was chased all the way from Nantouling to the top of heaven. Then, the boy jumped off the cliff, thinking that he had to get out, but he did not expect that he finally fell into his own hands at the bottom of the cliff.
But unfortunately, the young man turned out to be the son of a life-saving father.
The once-in-a-millennium demon pill has become a cheap meeting gift.
My heart hurts, and it still hurts.
But the pain is far more than the heart. Feed the sword to that kid, the sword is to the meat. Every time we meet, I basically stay up and wait to say goodbye.
But for more than a year, I really haven't seen him much, but I inevitably think of him all the time.
This boy is almost fifteen years old, and the deed of sale of the blacksmith's shop has expired. When he is free, will he come to this old cave and live for a while?
The location of the musk fruit tree, Ren Pingsheng has already taken Dabai there. Therefore, the two years of musk dang fruit are exclusive to Dabai.
The cliff over there was originally impossible to climb. Ren Pingsheng came here once last year, and felt that the mountain cliff cave mansion where he lived before was more hidden and rich in aura than Dabai's current residence. For a spirit demon cultivator like Da Bai, it is of great benefit.
That time, Ren Pingsheng had only a few swords, and the entire cliff was suddenly rocky and rumbling, and the smoke and dust were billowing out.
As a result, when Dabai arrived at the edge of the cliff, he found that on the cliff in front of the young man, a brand-new plank road had been cleaved, which led from the gentle slope of the east to the cave on the cliff wall. Since then, Dabai has had a cultivation palace.
This year's musk fruit grows particularly well, not to mention the large quantity, it is also a large color and fresh, and the taste is excellent. Every time he picks a batch, Dabai has to keep it fresh and store it in the small waterhole of the "palace" on the cliff wall, and eat a few with his fingers every day.
But every time I waited until I saw that I had saved one more day, the musk danguo would go bad, and I still didn't see the kid to get a piece of the pie.
The last batch of musk fruits picked and stored this year was also sold out the day before yesterday. Da Bai immediately felt empty in his heart, and he couldn't eat anything.
In a leisurely trance, Da Bai looked up at the heavy twilight, and saw a few small black dots fluttering and swaying with the wind under the slowly fluttering clouds.
Da Bai saw it interestingly, so he stared at the few small black dots. One of them, swirling in the air current, sometimes high and sometimes low, finally fell into the settling air flow of the hillside partition, accelerating its fall.
Dabai finally saw that it was a black piece of cloth.
Coincidentally, the black cloth fell on a treetop not far away.
In the vast West Ridge, in addition to the hunter's father and son, there have been few things in the world. Da Bai was curious, and after a few ups and downs, he took off the piece of cloth from the treetops.
Da Bai's face suddenly became gloomy.
What a familiar atmosphere!
Many years ago, it tried to climb the Mt. Wu and go to the vast world below the Mountain of No Return to exert its strength.
However, as soon as he reached the top of Wuqi Peak, he encountered a snow bear with great ability. In all fairness, the snow bear wasn't necessarily his opponent. But the white ape is not good at keeping out the cold, and when he climbs to the top of Wuqi Peak, his life has gone to thirty percent;
Three or five rounds later, Dabai was seriously injured and rolled off the cliff.
Coincidentally, that time was also the only time that the hunter Ren Qiang tried to climb the mountain from Wuqian Peak, but the mountaineering failed, but he saved the life of the white ape.
Now on the piece of cloth that floats in the wind, with the smell of snow bears, it is extremely rich.
In addition to this, there is a smell of blood, the smell of human blood!
The big white brow tightened, and vaguely, it felt that the appearance of this piece of cloth was some kind of extremely terrible ominous omen.
Da Bai looked up at the sky again, the sky was high and the wind was fierce, and the remaining small black dots, becoming more subtle, accelerated towards the plain outside the mountain.
It suddenly grabbed the piece of cloth tightly in its hand, got up and took a step, turned into a white shadow, and rushed along the ridge, in the direction of Nantou Ridge.

In the blacksmith shop in Shanghezhai, Yuan Dazhui, who has no apprentice, in addition to grinding iron silently every day, is to find a person who sells hexagrams, drinks and fights, and is never tired of it.
Not long after the end of work, the wine table where the two sat opposite each other was already a fierce battle, and you were a scene of life and death.
Yuan Dazhui tilted his head, the bottom of the bowl was facing the sky, and Yizhen was not to be outdone, leaning the wine bowl in front of his lips, and the full bowl of wine condensed into a line of entrance, and the bottom was seen in an instant.
The blacksmith filled himself with a bowl, but he didn't drink it, "Drink Lao Tzu's wine, you are very fast." ”
Yizhen wiped his lips, "Hey, the wine here, although it insults my fairy demeanor, Sven in the world, I still can't help but say: It's really unpleasant." ”
Yuan Da Hammer was extremely angry, "It's not accurate to tell the hexagram, you have the ability to earn a meal and buy wine." ”
Yizhen's face is not easy to look at, "Tell me clearly, my hexagram is not accurate? If it weren't for Lao Tzu's regard money as dung and unwilling to bend his waist for those five buckets of rice, to be honest, my hexagram will open a price that is hard to find, and those who come will also have to step on the threshold." ”
"I don't think this hexagram will be accurate. Yuan Dazhui said slowly.
Yizhen put the empty wine bowl on the table, and then filled it up, "Bet, whoever wins will drink." ”
Yuan Da Hammer sat still, "Don't gamble with my wine." If you want to gamble, bet on buying alcohol. ”
Yizhen was excited by him, and waved his sleeves and said: "If you want to gamble on what kind of wine you buy, you should bet bigger, and whoever loses will be responsible for going to the top of the mountain to steal a jar of the drunkard's private hide." ”
This is indeed a bit big, Yuan Dazhui glanced left and right, his expression cautious, "Are you sure you want to bet on this? I'm not afraid, after so many years of friendship, the thunder hit your brain, and Lao Tzu's heart hurt." ”
Yizhen looked firm, "What are you afraid of, anyway, it will definitely not be me who stole the wine at that time." ”
Yuan Dazhu's halberd beard square face embedded in a pair of small eyes, turned a few times, this rough man, and the hexagram Taoist who should have looked at a table of Sven, simply changed his temperament.
"What's the matter, don't you dare?" Yizhen said step by step.
"If you don't dare, bet on it!" Yuan Dazhui had an open expression, "I just don't think that is good." How can you say stealing from a drinker...... Insulting Sven. ”
Yizhen smiled, "Sven, who fights the iron guy, has lived for so many years, I can be regarded as having seen ......"
The smile on the face of the Taoist suddenly froze.
Yuan Dazhui was silent, and his face became solemn.
At the same moment, both of them sensed a faint breath wafting from above.
The smell of snow bears, the smell of warriors!
Yizhen stretched out his palm and wiped it out of thin air, and the bowl full of wine in front of him instantly turned into mist, forming a mist barrier between the two.
In the barrier, there is a scene of a snow-capped mountain gently slope, military tents are blooming, and black-clothed sergeants are drinking in groups. On the edge of the cliff three or four miles down from the gentle slope, a bloody corpse was a corpse, whose clothes had long since turned into rags.
A snow bear crouches next to the bones, slowly nibbling on the remaining flesh.
Yuan Dazhui withdrew his eyes from the mist barrier, and subconsciously touched his numb scalp, "Let's do something?"
Yizhen put away the magic power of watching thousands of miles in his palm, "I can't do anything, don't offend the immortal family, don't disturb the red dust, this is the rule." ”
Yuan Da Hammer was inexplicably angry, "I said, when the boss set this kind of bullshit rules with others, was there a hole in his brain!"
Yizhen sighed and said: "You can't say that, this is not only a rule, but also the way of heaven." If you violate the rules, it is better to say, but it is just a gain or loss for one person, and if you violate the way of heaven, it will be a natural and man-made disaster. ”
Yuan Dazhui was silent, picked up the only bowl of wine left on the table, and drank it all.
Yizhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Don't kill immortals, don't kill people, but you can find a monster to beat you." Interested?"
Yuan Dazhui looked lonely, "Hammer is useless." ”
Yizhen whispered: "Back then, our boss had an old friend, and now he is dormant at the foot of the Mountain of No Return." ”
Yuan Dazhui stood up and slapped the table, "Let's go!"
"Let's go. ”
In the vast twilight, two long rainbows, one black and one white, rose from the blacksmith shop, skimmed the plains and mountains, and hung directly on the southeast Yuyao Peak ridge, going to the sky.
