It was dark, and gray clouds obscured the sun. Gradually, snowflakes fell.

This time, take the road up the mountain, if the heavy snow blocks the way, it will be troublesome. The people of the Tianlong faction did not dare to delay and braved the snow to move forward.

The mountain road is getting higher and higher, and the gravel on the mountain road is also covered with a thin layer of snow, and the feet are slippery, and it is difficult for people and vehicles to walk. The people in front also dismounted and led the bridles, and the people and animals walked side by side, moving forward cautiously. Zhen Yuanzi's two apprentices also abandoned the car and walked, only Lao Dao was still sitting in the front of the car, facing the wind and snow, not caring at all.

The snow was getting heavier, and the whimpering mountain wind swirled from time to time, blowing with snow chips. The wind and snow gradually blurred their eyes, and everyone could only cover their sleeves, staring down at the road under their feet, not daring to be negligent.

The mountains in the distance were white, and the snowflakes were endless, pouring down from the vast void, as if to drown the people and horses in the mountain road.

The group was in a hurry, but Zhen Yuanzi was full of interest to enjoy the snow scene, and his hand twisted his long beard and praised: "As the saying goes, the capital also snows in March, hehe! But I don't know that the frontier is flying in February, which is even more spectacular! Such a picture scroll of heaven and earth, the majestic momentum is impressive!"

The old man was in good spirits, and after shaking his head and muttering alone, he turned around a little tastelessly, why didn't this stinky boy squeak, let the old man be high and low-

Lin Yi sat firmly in front of the car like a clay statue, half of his body was covered with snow, his knife-like cheeks were also covered with frost, and the top of his head was covered with frost white, only the long hair that was tied up at random and swayed in the wind.

"Your boy's black hair turned white in an instant! Hehe, so young, but calm as an old man, really respond to that common saying, what is it called? Oh! By the way, the old must be arrogant, and the young must be stable!" Zhen Yuanzi had a long beard fluttering, laughing and joking with Lin Yi. It's just that the latter doesn't squeak as if it was frozen.

The name of this mountain is called "Jiupanling", which means that the mountain road is rugged and coiled and difficult to walk. Jiupanling is only a radius of dozens of miles, and the mountain road is coiled back and forth but not less than 100 miles, and it is impossible to get out of this mountain range without a day's work. And Qincheng leads to Anzhou, here is the only way!" At this time, the wind and snow were very urgent, which was unbearable, but Zhen Yuanzi talked about sex and pointed out the country.

The mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, and everyone moved forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and did not dare to pause for a moment in the wind and snow. It has been more than two hours, and the world is still vast. The Tianlong faction is full of people, and the people are sleepy and tired!

Zhen Yuanzi also had no Yaxing, her face was gloomy, and she squinted her eyes and stared ahead. If you don't rush out of Jiupanling in one go, everyone will be blocked in the mountains by the wind and snow, and the scene is worrying!

At this moment, there was a sudden neighing of horses in front of him, followed by an exclamation. Mamotoko stared at it, and it turned out that the horse pulling the cart in front of him had lost its front hooves, the wheels were slipping, and the heavy carriage was sliding towards the side hillside.

The bottom of the hillside is bottomless, and if the carriage falls, there will be no corpses left. Jinke was shouting and screaming, even calling for help. Several disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were busy pulling the horse's bridle and dragging it up the slope with all their might, but the carriage was still slowly sliding. The mountain road was congested, and everyone couldn't intervene, so they could only stomp their feet and shout in a hurry.

The carriage that followed came to a halt at the right time.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was in the car, glanced at Lin Yi and found that this kid had been wrapped in the wind and snow like an iceman, and he didn't know if he saw the crisis ahead, or maybe this kid was really frozen.

Seeing that the carriage in front of him was about to fall into the valley, Zhen Yuanzi patted his hands on the carriage, and his body took advantage of the momentum to rise into the air.

In the snow, I saw a figure flying sideways, and Zhen Yuanzi fell to the side of the carriage that was sliding in a blink of an eye, his ape arms were lightly relaxed, his hands firmly grasped the rear of the car, his body fell, his feet took root, his arms shook, and his tongue thundered and shouted: "Get up ——!"

The carriage fell, and in the sound of "boom", it suddenly jumped a few feet, and then the horse neighed violently, and there was another roaring cheer, and the carriage had returned to the mountain road.

"Thank you Dao Chang for your help, Meng Mou has thanked you!" Meng Shan's shout came from the front, he should have witnessed all this, but the road was congested, and he couldn't pass for a while, so he could only raise his voice as a thank you.

Mahonko walked slowly up the hillside, her long beard fluttering in the wind, her clothes fluttering. He nodded slightly towards the front, and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture! This place is not suitable for a long time, please set off quickly!"

Zhen Yuanzi took action in time to resolve the crisis, and he was not arrogant, and his humility attracted a lot of applause from everyone.

There was a thrilling accident, which made everyone's tense heartstrings slightly soothed. It's just that the pace of moving forward is getting more and more urgent.

"Boy, I'll really freeze you into an ice lump!" Zhen Yuanzi lightly fluttered and landed beside Lin Yi.

Lin had frost on his cheeks and eyebrows, but his eyes were dark and shiny, and he was looking at Zhen Yuanzi with an unpredictable meaning.

This old Taoist is not bad, he does not sit idly by at the critical moment, which is commendable. If it weren't for Zhen Yuanzi's timely action, Lin Yi would not sit idly by.

Although he hated Jinke's personality, when he saw that he was in danger, Lin Yi would still help. It's just that he was afraid of revealing his identity, and when he was thinking about how to make a move so as not to arouse suspicion, Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward, which undoubtedly saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"I'm afraid that the carriage doesn't have two thousand catties, and the master is really a divine power!" Yuan Qing lost no time in praising loudly.

In front of everyone in the Tianlong Sect, Zhen Yuanzi ruthlessly made a face for Baiyunguan, which made Yuan Feng also flatter quite proudly: "Master is a master of the world, and he is also a warm-hearted person in the ancient way, and he does chivalrous deeds. Let the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect also feel admiration!"

The words of praise from the two apprentices made Lao Dao very useful in his heart, and he was about to use this to teach a few words, but suddenly saw a slight smile on Lin Yi's cold face, and the corners of his mouth that were upturned at some point made Zhen Yuanzi think that he was dazzled.

The old face of Zhen Yuanzi is hot for no reason.

"Okay, don't just say nice things, make people laugh!" Zhen Yuanzi was not interested, and after reprimanding the two apprentices in a low voice, he shouted to Lin Yi angrily: "Let's go!

Lin nodded and spit out lightly: "It's good to have an apprentice!" The carriage was paused, and he was pulled slowly forward by the horse.

"Hmph, I know you're kidding the old way!" Mamotoko shook her head dissatisfiedly.

Along the way, the old and the young can be regarded as a pair of acquaintances.

......

The group braved the wind and snow and continued to trek hard in the Jiupan Ridge.

As the saying goes, look at the mountains and run dead horses.

The wind was howling and the snow was flying. Walking non-stop for most of the day, the mountain is still this mountain, the white expanse does not see the beginning and the end, and the road is still so difficult to walk, and there is no end.

The white mist spewed out by the horses and the hot breath exhaled by the people formed new frost in an instant, and the people and horses were like layers of snow armor, wanting to merge with the white and vast world. Only the neighing of horses and the constant movement of the crowd bear witness to the fact that the group has not yet been swallowed up by the wind and snow.

I don't know how many hills I have climbed, and I don't know how many valleys I have walked through, but the mountain road under my feet is still undulating and endless......

The horse's hooves were no longer strong, and they trembled, struggling with "smack, smack." Most of the people's eyes also lost their brightness, and they competed with the horses to pant for breath, gritting their teeth and moving their tired steps.

It was getting dark, the snow had stopped at some point, and there was a high hill ahead......

No one screamed in despair, no one complained, eyes stared ahead with hatred......

The snow is knee-deep, and every step is difficult......

The man dragged the horse to move, and the horse dragged the man forward.

The desperate hill, under the insistence of everyone, became shorter and disappeared little by little.

I don't know when, the sky got dark, and the eyes were bright......

In the distance, there are a few faint lights.

The faint light was so bright......

......

The sun rose, the sky was as blue as water, and the earth was silvery white.

In a circle of uneven rammed earth walls, two bare doorways in the east and west connect a dirt street, and the ice cubes under the eaves are crystal clear, falling like pearls.

A dog barked, a few wisps of smoke, and a new day began in Sansi Fort.

A black dog sprinkled joy on the snow, leaving a string of paw prints, and ran into a courtyard on the north side of the road.

On the gate of the courtyard, a flag is obliquely picked - "Sanxi Inn".

The Sanxi Inn is facing the wine shop, and several neat brick houses in the courtyard are the guest rooms of the inn. The courtyard of the inn is quite large, and there are twenty or thirty horses and two large carts parked in it, which still looks very spacious. The people of the Celestial Dragon Sect lived here.

After a long day of running around and tiring, the Tianlong faction came to Sanxi Fort, which is three or four miles away from Jiupanling, when they were holding the lights last night.

After a day of non-stop, the water and rice were not touched, and the disciples of the Tianlong Sect were already exhausted, so they ate some hot soup indiscriminately, poured them on the warm bunk one by one, and fell asleep soundly.

Elder Meng told everyone that it was difficult to walk due to the heavy snow, and they would not leave for the past two days, and everyone was even more relieved that they could not sleep. By the end of the next day, there was still snoring in the room.

Some of these people got up early.

The black dog wagged his tail and ran towards the stable, jumping in circles around a young man in a gray robe.

The young man's eyebrows are like knives, his eyes are like stars, the bridge of his nose is straight, his face is slightly yellow, and his cheeks are like jade. One of his black hair was casually curled behind his head, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was reaching out to tease the black dog.

Lin Yi and more than a dozen disciples crowded into a bunk, and after making do all night, as soon as the morning dawned, he got up alone and walked around the courtyard. After a while, he became acquainted with the black dog.

Even in the stable, this black dog did not forget to find and make love with Lin Yi for a while.

"Kuroko! this is delicious!" A crisp voice sounded, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl ran out of the stove next to the liquor store, holding a bone in her hand, and dancing straight at the black dog.

This girl's black dog is called Kuroko, and the name is apt. Seeing that Lin Yi was playing with the black dog, the girl's white and red face showed a smile, and she said generously: "Guest officer, why don't you go to the wine shop and drink some hot soup to warm up?"

Kuroko had already heard the sound and ran over, and the girl squatted down and patted Kuroko's head, threw down the bone in her hand, and smiled at Lin again.

Lin Yi nodded with a smile and walked towards the wine shop.
