When Jin Chongyin left home, it was only late autumn, but the Tianshan Mountains were in the north of Yuguo, and the terrain was much higher than Yuhai, and it was not yet mid-October, and it was already a scene of cold and freezing ground. Jin Chongyin's internal strength was a little deeper than he imagined, and he didn't feel too cold, but those two friends couldn't. In order to prevent his friends from freezing to death, Jin Chongyin spent a lot of money to buy winter clothes for the two of them, and after buying them, they couldn't turn over a copper plate on their bodies.

Dong Hedong suddenly became very guilty: "It's all because we have been tired of Chongyin, maybe he will be a little easier alone." ”

"You're welcome, if it weren't for your help, maybe I wouldn't be able to get here. Having said that, Jin Chongyin was still very distressed: "The money is spent, what will I do in the future?"

"Don't worry about eating, as long as you can catch game, I can make it for you to eat, you see, I have magic weapons on me!" After Xiao Man finished speaking, he patted the burden behind him, which contained many bottles and cans, presumably her seasoning.

Thinking that he wouldn't starve to death, Dong Hedong relaxed a lot, but he still couldn't help arguing with Xiao Man: "Hey! It's the first time I've seen someone going out with spices!

"Why do you still carry weapons when you go out?" Spices are my weapons!" Xiao Man said not to be outdone: "Hmph, it's the first time I've seen someone with a bow on his back but can't even let go of an arrow!"

Dong Hedong became irritable all of a sudden, and seeing that the two were going to quarrel again, Jin Chongyin said tiredly: "Let's go to Tianshan Mountain to find medicine first, okay?"

The two obediently shut up and looked up at the majestic Tianshan Mountain. There are several peaks in the Tianshan Mountains that are towering into the clouds, and they seem to be like ants at the foot of the mountain. The white clouds dispersed, revealing the dark mountaintops, and the ethereal snow, and even the trees on the mountainside were particularly solemn.

Jin Chongyin craned his neck, squinted his eyes, and looked at it suspiciously, as if he saw a big word printed on the mountain from top to bottom - roll!

Needless to say, Dong Hedong and Xiao Man also feel the same way, Tianshan does have a kind of intimidating power that makes people dare not approach easily. It's just that they have all come here, and no one will admit it, plus they all owe Jin Chongyin favors, and they can't escape from the battle.

For a while, the three of them were shocked by the Tianshan Mountains into sculptures with their necks up, and it was Dong Hedong who broke the silence: "That, the Tianshan Mountain is so big, where are we going to find the snow toad?"

Hey?

Jin Chongyin also thought of this problem for the first time, he thought that Tianshan Mountain was just a mountain, but he didn't expect it to be a huge mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles. He was angry at his stupidity again—if he had asked Dr. Xiao more, he wouldn't be like a headless fly now.

Still Xiaoman was clever, she clapped her hands and said, "Most of the snow toads are in Closed Spring Valley, come with me!"

Dong Hedong said distrustfully: "Are you bragging, right? How do you know how to go to Closed Spring Valley?"

Xiao Man was just about to get angry, but after thinking about it, she really only knew that Xue Toad was in Closed Spring Valley, but she didn't know how to go in Closed Spring Valley, so she bit her fingers in embarrassment and looked at Jin Chongyin timidly.

Jin Chongyin had no choice but to play a round: "It's not to blame Xiao Man, let's think about it together!"

So the three of them fell into silence, a little quieter than zazen. As the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, but it's just ...... As the saying goes, it's not necessarily true.

Jin Chongyin is neither as experienced in rivers and lakes as the third uncle, nor can he accurately recite the terrain of every part of Dayu Country like his father, so he has to look up to the sky helplessly and sigh: "Why is it so difficult to break into the rivers and lakes?"

"Are you also going to break into the Tianshan Mountains?"

As soon as Jin Chongyin finished speaking, he saw a girl come out from the depths of the woods. The girl was dressed in a pale blue cloak and had big eyes as clear as a lake. She stood there like a fairy guarding the forest.

Dong Hedong stood up unconsciously, and asked, "Aunt, the girl is also going to Tianshan?"

The girl nodded slightly: "Yes, but I don't dare to break alone." ”

Jin Chongyin thought to himself, this girl is also open, and she doesn't find any other reason, she just says that she doesn't dare to break in. He said, "We're going to Closed Spring Valley, will the girl stop by?"

The girl's eyes lit up and said, "Coincidentally, I also want to go to Closed Spring Valley." If I'm not mistaken, you're looking for snow toads, right?"

The three of them looked at each other, and finally could only nod honestly, and Xiao Man said quickly: "The father of the golden worm is very sick, and only the snow toad can save his life." ”

The girl quickly guessed the meaning of Xiao Man's words - we need Xue Toad very much, please don't rob us. She smiled gently: "But I'm also going to take the snow toad to treat people, so let's find it, let's take half of each of us, okay?"

Xiao Man was not convinced, and wanted to take all the snow toads for herself, but Jin Chongyin pulled her sleeve and persuaded: "This is life-saving medicine, this girl is also very anxious, we should be considerate of her situation." ”

Xiao Man sneered: "What a humble and polite gentleman, don't regret it if the snow toad you find can't save your father's life!"

Jin Chongyin was even more worried than Xiao Man, but he still couldn't take all the snow toads for himself. He struggled inwardly for a moment, but still insisted on his original idea: "As long as we work together to find the snow toad, we can split it in half." ”

The girl burst into laughter, and she made a "please" gesture and said, "Come with me!"

The girl was like a living map, and led the three of them into the woods. The ancient trees in the forest are towering, perhaps because of the high cold, each tree exudes a solemn black, and the branches are also fangs and claws, like a hideous old witch. Occasionally, a jackdaw screamed and swept through the trees, startling a cloud of snow that frightened several people to hide together, but the girl looked calm and not surprised.

After walking in for a while, Xiao Man suddenly stumbled, almost tripped and fell onto Jin Chongyin. Jin Chongyin asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Man kicked angrily, and shouted: "What a broken thing, dare to come to trip aunt and grandma!"

The thing rolled forward for a while, leaning against the root of the tree and coming to a halt. It turned out to be a skull, with empty eyes staring at Xiao Man, and a bare mouth that seemed to be smiling.

Xiao Man screamed "wow" and hugged Jin Chongyin, and Dong Hedong involuntarily leaned on Jin Chongyin. Jin Chongyin mustered up his courage and asked the girl, "Did you deliberately lead us on such a dangerous road?"

The girl turned around, and Ying Ying smiled: "A few days ago, I was like you, I was so scared that my soul did not possess my body, but now I am not surprised. It seems that you have just debuted, so you haven't heard of it yet, have you?"

"What did you hear?"

"If you don't know the path of the Tianshan Mountains, follow the skeleton and go forward. Those who die on the outside are often those who are powerless, and those who die inside are many martial arts masters. Therefore, you can infer your martial arts cultivation from the location of your death. ”

Jin Chongyin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said loudly: "I'm not afraid, I must find the Tianshan Snow Toad and go back to treat my father." ”

The girl was quite appreciative: "You are an ambitious person." ”

"My father said that as long as you are determined to do one thing, no hardship or obstacle will be difficult for you. ”

The girl appreciated it even more: "Yes, as long as you make up your mind, there is no flame mountain that you can't cross." ”

Xiao Man scoffed at these big truths, but it was not good to hit them, so he had to cheer up. Dong Hedong kindly supported her, Xiao Man shook it twice in disgust, but he still helped her forward.

At dusk, Dong Hedong suspected that he was hallucinating, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Hey, golden bug!"

"Huh?"

"Do you see? There is a black mist all over this woods, and it is floating around. ”

Jin Chongyin looked around, but he didn't see the black mist he said, and was about to laugh at him, but Xiao Man covered his head and said, "My head is so dizzy......"

The girl looked around vigilantly and said, "Can you see the corpse?"

Dong Hedong was confused: "What is corpse qi?"

The girl was dumbfounded, these three rookies like fools really made her speechless. She was tempted to ask them—what did they dare to trespass on if they knew something? Both boys had a simple smile, and they were even embarrassed to call them stupid, and the girl was full of heart, but she didn't like it.

The girl calmed down several times before patiently explaining: "Many people died in the forest, and the corpses were not buried, and over time the corpse gas spread. The people of the Tianshan Sect recruited the descendants of the black wizards of Baiyang Mountain and asked them to gather all these corpse qi. Maybe when we went up the mountain just now, we touched some mechanism, and all these corpse qi were released. ”

Kim Chongyin asked, "Will it poison people?"

The girl said: "It's hard to say, people with deep internal strength will naturally not take these poisonous gases in their eyes, but weak people will definitely not be able to stand it." Don't believe it, look at the girl. ”

Xiao Man had already fallen softly into Dong Hedong's arms, although Dong Hedong was anxious, his mouth was unforgiving: "Hey, eighty percent of you kicked that skeleton to release all the poisonous gas." ”

Xiao Man really didn't have the strength to scold back now, and he was so angry that tears rolled in his eyes. Jin Chongyin picked her up without saying anything and said, "I'll carry you on my back." ”

Dong Hedong also regretted his gaffe and slapped himself silently. The girl asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses and try not to be eroded by the poisonous gas. Dong Hedong volunteered and walked in the front: "I can see the corpse, you all follow me." ”

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the three of them did not feel so stuffy, and the moonlight spilled into the forest, and the black shadows disappeared without a trace. Dong Hedong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, those corpses are gone." ”

The girl took off her veil and said in admiration, "It's amazing that you can see the corpse." ”

Dong Hedong immediately fluttered up, showed two rows of big white teeth, pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "I can still see many stars, but you can't see them." ”

With the bright moonlight, Jin Chongyin discovered that Dong Hedong's pupils were a little amber, so bright that they seemed to have stars in their eyes. He asked curiously, "Could it be that you are clairvoyant?"

Dong Hedong said: "I don't know, every time I shoot an arrow, I can clearly see where the bullseye is, as if it is in front of me, but I just can't shoot it!"
