Chapter 480: Snow Country
After passing through the long tunnel, you will find Snow Country.
Here is outside the Shanhai Pass, east of the Kanto region, north of the north of Xinjiang, this is the bitter cold land of the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, only a few months of summer can see the green color in all seasons, and the temperature is extremely low in most months. In the distance, it is surrounded by mountains, and the summit is covered with snow all year round, the most famous of which is the Daisetsuzan Mountain, which is very high and towers above the clouds, and looks very spectacular.
Emperor Chengzu set up the Nuergandu Division here, belonging to Jilin Province, the people here were mostly hunters, and later introduced cold-resistant rice, in the plain area east of the snow mountain, began to plant a season of rice on a large scale, because the rice grains are long and narrow, the grains are full and chew with fragrance, it has always been praised by the nobles in the capital, and after a few years, it has become more and more prosperous here, and has become the most prosperous city in the northern Xinjiang, and has also won the reputation of "Saiwai Jiangnan".
At the entrance of the tunnel, there is a small post station, which is the only way to Nurgan City, where many traders gather, and over time, it has become a small town. Many caravans from Kanto to Nurgan preferred to settle here for supplies.
Although it is the middle of spring, the temperature here is still very low, everyone is wearing thick warm clothes, people here are very good at enjoyment, regardless of the family situation, the basic mountain is wearing a mink coat, even if the people with financial constraints, will make a set of sheepskin fur on the body. In addition to business travel, there are also many Jianghu rangers who go to Nurgan City. Especially in summer, it is the perfect time to make a pilgrimage to the Daisetsuzan Mountains.
Yang Xueqiong was wearing a tight-fitting duck down jacket and sat in a tea shop with several disciples in the clan to rest. After a day of traveling, everyone was exhausted and urgently needed a pot of hot tea and a few cups of warm wine to replenish their strength. And the horses were getting exhausted, so they were going to rest here for the night, to recuperate, and in two or three days they would be in the city of Nurgan.
The White Horse Gang is the largest gang in Nurgan City, and although it is only a third-rate gang that does not enter the rivers and lakes, it is the largest gang in Nurgan City. Gang leader Yang Yanlong once strayed into the Snow Mountain when he was young, picked up a sword book, practiced for a few years, and became the first master in the city.
This Yang Xueqiong is the eldest daughter of Yang Yanlong, the leader of the White Horse Gang.
Three years ago, he got in touch with the Kwantung Sword Sect, and after paying a lot of money, he sent Yang Xueqiong and several disciples with better qualifications in the gang to the Kwantung Sword Sect to learn swords. Yang Xueqiong is also angry, in less than two years, she has already practiced to the middle of the Wen realm, and in the third year, she has practiced to the upper realm of the Wen realm, and has become the most outstanding master of the young generation of the White Horse Gang.
However, half a year ago, the Kanto Sword Sect suddenly changed.
Guo Changfeng, the head of the Kanto Dynasty, died in Shaolin Temple, and Guo Changyu, the deputy head of the sect, went crazy in practice, and fell from the half-step Tongxiang realm to the Zhixuan Middle Realm. Later, something even stranger happened, all the disciples in the Kanto Sword Sect had more or less fallen in the realm, and Yang Xueqiong was expected to be promoted to the Zhixuan Realm at the end of last year, but for some reason, she was always stuck in the Wen Realm and couldn't go further.
Yang Xueqiong obviously felt that the true element of heaven and earth had become less.
Later, when she heard that there was a catastrophe in the Central Plains and that the capital was almost in ruins, she had already guessed that the sparseness of the true yuan of heaven and earth was related to this incident. However, this is a very distant thing for her, and she doesn't pay much attention to it. It's just that her father has high hopes for her, and wants her to join famous teachers, visit high friends, practice a mastery of swordsmanship, and go back to inherit the property of the White Horse Gang. This is what she has been doing all these years, she doesn't want to live up to her father's expectations, but the swordsmanship has stopped, which can only make her anxious. The Kwantung Sword Sect encountered a bottleneck, and a month ago, Yang Xueqiong received a letter from her father, and after hearing that the White Horse Gang had encountered a crisis, she decided to say goodbye to the Kwantung Sword Sect.
Return with his people to the city of Nurgan.
After three years of studying, Yang Xueqiong felt relieved when she thought of seeing her sister.
I haven't seen her for three years, the little girl should have grown a lot taller, right?
Not long after my sister was born, their mother died of illness, the two had a very good relationship, Yang Xueqiong looked at her since she was a child, I remember that when she left three years ago, my sister hugged my sister's thigh and didn't let her go, she was only five years old at that time, crying like a tearful person, I don't know what her Yang Xiling has become now?
The sound of horses' hooves interrupted her thoughts.
Yang Xueqiong saw a black carriage coming this way, the carriage was very simple, with the logo of a sword engraved on it, it should be the logo of a certain family, Yang Xueqiong thought to herself, most of the people who came to Nuergan City at this time were people who were going to make a pilgrimage to the Great Snow Mountain, and she had often encountered them when she was in the city before, so it was not strange.
The carriage stopped at the door of the tea shop.
A woman in a white sable coat got off the carriage, the cold weather made her can't help but wrap her clothes tightly, her hands couldn't stop sighing, and then went to cover her ears, due to the cold, her face was a little red from the cold. She saw that the woman had no internal strength, and her appearance was very ordinary, but the clothes were more expensive, and she glanced at herself again, with her proud chest, tall figure, and sinking face, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Yang Xueqiong was born with a beautiful embryo, and over the years in Kanto, countless young talents have pursued her, but she is obsessed with kendo and is very indifferent to the affairs of men and women. However, even so, every time she goes out, she will attract the attention of countless people, which makes her very proud, who in the world does not love beauty? What's more, she is already very beautiful.
It is in the nature of women to compare. So when she saw the ordinary appearance of the sable woman, she quickly turned her gaze elsewhere.
At this time, a man's voice came from inside the car, "Bottle, why didn't I pay attention, you ran out?"
The voice was very soft and gentle, and it attracted Yang Xueqiong's gaze again.
A man walked down from the car, dressed in a Confucian shirt and white, and he didn't feel cold in this weather, Yang Xueqiong heard that some people are not afraid of the cold by nature, but they didn't expect to meet here. When she looked up and saw the man's appearance, she was immediately attracted by the man in white, with a handsome appearance, elegant temperament, and an indescribable tenderness on his face.
The only regret is that there is a faint scar on the man's chin. Even so, this is a face that makes all women in the world jealous.
It's just strange, why would such a handsome man be with such an ordinary-looking woman?
Her interest was immediately drawn to the past.
The man came to the woman's side, held her hand, helped her warm her hands, and injected an internal force into her body to help her resist the cold, "If you feel cold, go back to the car and sit, there is a hand stove and a foot stove, don't damage your body." ”
The woman looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said with some excitement, "This is the first time I've seen a snowy mountain." ”
The accent is a little Jiangnan Wu Nong's soft language, and Yang Xueqiong has to admit that her voice is very good. She turned sideways and looked away, her ears fixed on the young man. The woman said, "I heard that the Great Snow Mountain is the closest place to the fairy world, and if the night is quiet, you can overhear the immortals talking." ”
The man laughed, "That fairy's voice is not small. ”
Hearing this, Yang Xueqiong snorted and laughed. This man was not only handsome, but he also spoke so interestingly, that he couldn't help but look at him again, and his face was flushed, and he secretly wondered in his heart, "What's wrong with me today?"
Zi didn't even look at himself, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
She has been beautiful since she was a child, and she has always been conceited about her appearance, but he doesn't seem to see her existence at all.
The woman was also amused and laughed, but then there was a cough, and the man even helped her beat her back, and after a long time, the woman said: "That night, I committed such a great sin, big brother, do you say that after I die, will I not be able to enter the fairy world? If I go to hell, I will be afraid." ”
The man said: "Don't think about it, when we go to the Snow Mountain, we will go to Doctor Xue to prescribe a few medicines, and your body will get better." ”
"Won't hell be horrible?"
The man said proudly, "As long as my sword is here, Hades dare to keep you? Believe it or not, I have demolished his Yama Treasure Palace." ”
The corners of Yang Xueqiong's mouth curled when he heard this, this man was so angry, he didn't even have a trace of true yuan fluctuations on his body, and he dared to speak wildly? Fortunately, he was talking about the King of Yama, if he offended an ordinary martial artist here, he would be taught a lesson, but the man's mouth, the deceitful ghost, probably made the woman happy.
However, the sword in his waist is indeed very beautiful, it looks like it should be a sword, a sword with a hero, and it is really a pity for him.
This time, she never prepared a gift for her father, and if he was willing to sell the sword, no matter how much money it spent, she would buy it. However, looking at their dress, it doesn't look like they are short of money.
Through a few words, Yang Xueqiong thought that she had probably guessed the identity of the other party, it should be a rich boy of the Jiangnan generation, who took this woman on a pilgrimage to the Snow Mountain, worship the god of the Snow Mountain, and ask for peace or marriage.
Sure enough, the woman laughed when she heard this.
It's just that there was some loss in the man's eyes.
When the two came to the store, the man stepped forward and moved the stool, wiped the dust on it with his sleeve, helped the woman sit down, and said, "Man, come here with some wine and food, you can pick up expensive and good ones, and look at them." As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his bosom, looked at the bulging bag, took out a piece of silver, and threw it to him, "There is no need to look for the rest." ”
Unexpectedly, this man was very careful, Yang Xueqiong thought, but his experience in the rivers and lakes was too shallow. The action of taking out the silver and rewarding Xiao Er just now has already been seen by several groups of people in the tea shop, there are many people here, and the wealth is not exposed, he doesn't know, it seems that he is a novice in the rivers and lakes.
"Would you like to give him a touch?"
Yang Xueqiong wandered the rivers and lakes and knew the rules of the rivers and lakes, if she reminded the couple of men and women, it would be to cut off other people's financial routes, but she couldn't bear to let him be bullied, thought for a moment, coughed, and said, "The two of you should be from Jiangnan, right?"
Hearing her words, the woman looked at her and nodded, "Yes, our husband and wife came here and wanted to make a pilgrimage to the Great Snow Mountain. ”
And so it was. Yang Xueqiong thought.
The woman said, "I just didn't expect it to be so cold here, and it's the first time I've encountered it." ”
Yang Xueqiong smiled, "It's colder on the snowy mountain, you have to go up the mountain, but you have to prepare for it." ”
The woman thanked her again and again, and said to the man, "This sister is so beautiful." ”
When Yang Xueqiong heard this, she felt happy in her heart, and suddenly looked at the woman a lot more pleasing to the eye. However, the man didn't even look at her, and said, "In my eyes, Bottle is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”
This sentence made Yang Xueqiong's face instantly ugly. She wanted to remind them that there were at least two groups of people in the store who were eyeing them, but when she heard the man's words, she was secretly annoyed in her heart, turned her head, and decided to make them suffer.
