The Kunlun Mountains are snow-capped and boundless, with no vegetation in the woods, only scattered bushes, and wild animals are hard to find. Lin Yi ran his true qi, penetrated his blood, and maintained his body temperature. Despite this, I still feel cold and oozing bones, I have to rub my hands from time to time, and occasionally a cold wind blows, and my body can't help but shiver. His ears were even more stinging, and his fingers were almost frozen, and he was about to lose consciousness.

Because it had just snowed heavily, the ground was fluffy, shallow and deep, and it was necessary to constantly use crutches to detect the road surface. Lin Yi had one foot high and one foot low, as if he was trekking in a swamp, and before he had gone far, he was tired and sweating.

"Can you sweat so cold?" he complained, followed by a "poof" sound, and one accidentally plunged his left leg into the snow, not past the base of his thigh.

The crutches also fell because of this, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly, supported the ground with his hands, pulled himself out with great effort, held his waist and gasped, turning into a cloud of white mist and dissipating.

He picked up his crutches, lay on the ground, took out his boots from the snow, put them back on his feet, and said to himself: "The first day was so difficult, if it weren't for the formation of qi veins, and give me ten more dares, I wouldn't dare to climb Kunlun Xu." With that, he patted his ass and stood up, hunched over and continued to climb up.

Before you know it, the sun is fading, and the sky is starting to darken. Lin Yi roughly estimated that after going up the mountain for about three hours, he climbed more than 200 zhang. The speed of day and night here is not the same, the day passes very quickly, and it will take at least another five days to reach the peak.

It is imperative to find a place to spend the night, and then build a bonfire to replenish food. Lin Yi searched around, and finally found a cave, drilled inside, and confirmed that there were no wild beasts, so he unloaded his luggage and bag, and then went out to get some bushes and came back.

He struck the fire sickle and flint, but the grass and trees were wet, and they could not be lit even when they tossed for a while, and he was a little anxious. Annoyedly, he threw the sickle aside and prepared to take a break, and took out the water bag from his bag, only to find that it was frozen inside, and he was completely dumbfounded.

I vaguely felt in my heart that it might be more difficult than I imagined to climb to the top of Kunlun.

But if you don't have a fire, you won't even be able to drink water, and you're sweating a lot today, so you have to replenish it. Lin Yi had no choice but to break the bushes, wipe them one by one, pile them up into a tower, and try again.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, Lin Yi held the sickle in both hands, hit it frequently, and persevered for half an hour, and finally, the wooden pile was ignited by the sparks that burst out.

He quickly lay down and carefully blew on the bushes, letting the fire grow bigger. Fortunately, his family is poor, and he burned the stove when he was young, so he is still handy with this little thing.

Lin Yi took off his cloak and used it as a cushion, then skewered dry cakes with wooden sticks, put them on the bonfire, baked water bags, drank two sips, and eased up.

"It's so warm, there is food and drink. He chewed on the dry bread and rejoiced in his bitterness.

After dinner, Lin Yi practiced cross-legged, luckily, and was full of enthusiasm. Then, slip into your sleeping bag and sleep peacefully. At night, the temperature plummeted, and I was awakened by freezing several times, and my true qi could not withstand the severe cold, trembling and shivering, just hoping that the morning sun would come soon.

Hurry during the day, rest at night, and soon come to the third day. Lin Yi walked the mountain, holding a map in his hand, and was blown upside down by the wind, stepping on the gap under his feet several times, and almost fell to death.

As the terrain rises, the air becomes thinner, it becomes more difficult to breathe, the complexion becomes red, and when you blink, you can see the hoarfrost forming on your eyelashes. Despite wearing animal skin gloves, his hands and feet were still suffering from chilblains, and several large openings were made on his knuckles, revealing red pieces of flesh inside, like two petals of orange.

"How long will it take to arrive?" "Hold on for another three days, or four days?" Lin Yi was in a trance, asking himself questions and answers, trying not to let himself fall asleep. The head gave birth to an illusion, swollen from the inside out, as if it was about to explode, and the pain was cracking.

He looked around, the surrounding area was vast, the ice peaks and snow ridges were winding up like a long dragon, the top of the mountain was hidden in the clouds, and it was not visible, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The ridges and peaks are vertical and horizontal, the heaven and the earth are majestic, how small people are, and finally understand Master Luo's state of mind." ”

Lin Yi muttered to himself and moved on.

When I woke up the next morning, I couldn't see my fingers, and I groped my way out of the cave, but I couldn't open my eyes, and my tears couldn't stop flowing down, it turned out that I was stabbed by the snow and suffered from snow blindness.

Lin Yi couldn't, so he could only go back to the cave, wiping his tears and hissing in pain. But it hasn't improved for a long time, and I am anxious, and I am also afraid of Kunlun. In this way, after a few hours, my eyes can squint slightly, and when I look outside, it is already dark, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hurry anymore today.

He resisted the discomfort, came back from the nearby bushes, lit the campfire, and groaned and fell asleep all night.

In the next two days, he hurried on his way, looked back, saw nowhere he had come, and finally reached the halfway point of the mountain. I thought that I would climb to the top of Kunlun in five or six days, but in the past six days, I was only halfway there, and the dry food was almost exhausted.

As the terrain improves, the climb becomes more difficult.

However, the real nightmare has only just begun. On the eighth day, Lin Yi got up and sorted out his backpack, and found that the food had been eaten by himself, and he panicked instantly, even if he went home now, it was impossible to leave Kunlun.

"What to do, what to do?" he asked urgently, beads of sweat oozing from his head.

Now it is no longer a choice between persistence and giving up, but what to live with!

Suddenly shocked, he hurriedly rushed out of the lodging place, looked around, the snow on the mountains was overturned, the glaciers in the valley condensed, hovering like snakes, and there was no food in the wilderness.

Lin Yi's eyes were frightened, trapped halfway, dazed and helpless.

"No, you can't turn back, even if you die, you will die on the road!" he gasped, went back to his luggage, and headed for the heights.

But the hunger in his stomach was unbearable, and it stimulated his stomach like a fire. After a short time, his legs became weak and his mouth was full of water. Suddenly, the temperature turned cold, ice crystals fell from the sky, and he held up his umbrella and walked in fear. The physical strength passed rapidly, crumbling, the legs and feet were like mud, and Kunlun was still hanging high above his head, like a moat.

In the end, Lin Yi lay on the road hungry, the umbrella and cane were thrown aside, and the scattered snowflakes gradually submerged his back.

......

The north wind was howling, the cold snap was invading, and in the ice and snow, a pair of hands trembled and stood up.

"Don't go to sleep...... Lin Yi opened his dark lips and let out a tired moan, the map was blown away by the strong wind, and he couldn't hold an umbrella and crutches, so he could only use his hands and feet at the same time, and slowly crawled forward.

He didn't find a place to rest, and kept moving in the snow, and suddenly fainted. After a long time, he woke up from the cold, looked up at the dark night sky, and said in despair: "It's over, I'm going to die here." ”

It's cold, it's really cold.

Lin Yi couldn't open his eyelids, he didn't even have the strength to tremble, he was tired and tired, and he collapsed to the extreme, and he felt that it was better to give up and die.

Meeting the saint, learning skills, and avenging your mother - all of them are just whispers in a dream.

He laughed at himself in his heart, couldn't help but smile bitterly, tears welled up, and turned into frost. Countless figures flashed in his mind, and he vaguely saw Mrs. Nianyou, who was teaching herself to play the piano; in a blink of an eye, Xu Gong came out again and taught him to swim and fish; and Wang Xiaohu went to the Jianglang Hall to watch a play, accompanied the guests to drink, and figured out their thoughts......

All kinds of changes, and finally the illusion of white-eyed wolf, Wei Wenbin and others, roared loudly in their ears: "Are you convinced?"

Lin Yi's body shook, and out of nowhere, he grabbed the snow with his ten fingers, dragged his heavy body, and said with his lips: "I don't accept it!"

Then the true air swirled, and a warmth rose from the dantian, and he struggled to move forward. In the dark, he touched the gentle slope everywhere, raised his numb hands, unfastened his cloak, and propped himself up to avoid the snow.

Lin Yi bit the tip of his tongue, felt the pain, and kept himself from being unconscious, but the blood instantly coagulated, and he could only bite it open. After repeating this, barely holding out until dawn, the wind and snow finally dispersed and saw the light of day again.

"Hahaha......" Lin Yi got out of the snowdrift, smiled tiredly, and shouted hoarsely: "White-eyed wolf, did you see it, I won!"

"Wow!" The snow next to him loosened, Lin Yi quickly shut up, coughing muffledly, his throat was dry and thirsty. Pursing his lips, he lay down and nibbled on the ice, but he didn't want to touch the wound, and there was another sharp pain.

He propped his head on the ground, lifted his body, staggered through some bushes, and trembled to make a flint and sickle, and it took him half a day to light a bonfire.

He cowered by the firelight, rubbing his hands together to warm his body. Then the water bag was roasted, and the greed drank it all, and the heat flowed through the stomach, and suddenly felt alive again.

"You have to get water, and if you continue to survive, you will definitely die. He muttered to himself, picked up his skin, and reluctantly left. When he was breaking a bush, he saw a frozen lake not far away, so he walked towards it.

After a while, Lin Yi rushed here, stepped on the ice, poured true qi, and chopped several feet. The surface of the lake, which is as round as a mirror, cracks a crack with a click. He was so tired that he exhaled a few breaths of turbidity, rested for a while, and then dodged again.

"Boom!" The ice suddenly collapsed, and Lin Yi fell into the water coldly, freezing cold, burrowing into his mouth and nose. He fluttered and sank, finally calmed down the panic, desperately swam to the shore, hurriedly crawled to the shore, and escaped death.

"Vomit!" Lin Yi spit out a large mouthful of ice water, and his abdomen cramped, but the most painful thing was his eyeballs, which almost wanted to tear. Hurriedly wiped the hole and filled the water bladder.

Lin Yi howled all the way, threw himself back to the bonfire in embarrassment, took off his coat and baked it. The fingers, toes, eyes, ears, including the wings of the nose, were all in excruciating pain.

He couldn't help crying, and choked again, sobbing to add firewood. Can be intimate clothing, solidified into ice armor early, a little moved, it rattles, how can it be warm enough?

The body temperature dropped rapidly, Lin Yi hugged his knees and trembled, his coat accidentally fell into the fire, and when he was rescued, half of it was burned.

Lin Yi gasped, but when he lost his coat, he could only get colder and colder, and finally even his spine was trembling. Curled up on the sleeping bag, the mood was so bad that it couldn't be worse, his limbs were constantly twitching, in a daze, he called out for his mother, and suddenly fainted.

He fell under the snowy slope, his face pale, his lips pale and unconscious. After a moment, an ethereal figure appeared out of thin air, its body hazy and transparent, like a ghost.
