The next day, early in the morning.

"Drive, drive......"

A little light is just beginning to appear on the eastern horizon, but the streets are bustling with activity. The horses neighed everywhere, and the tightly wrapped strong men were constantly rubbing their palms with sharp blades on their waists.

"Brothers, are you ready?"

"That's it!"

"Okay! When we climb the Jade Maiden Peak to find the treasure, we will catch a few spirit foxes alive to reward everyone. ”

"Haha......" The strong men all laughed on their backs, as if the snow fox on the Jade Girl Peak was waiting for them to slaughter at will.

"Let's go!"

"Driving ......"

Shen Linfeng, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he hurriedly jumped up from the earthen kang.

"Zi Yan, Brother Zhao, Miss Jin, hurry up, we should hurry!"

"Hmm...... What time is it, it's not even dawn!" Jin Mengyao yawned and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Shen Linfeng didn't have time to take care of Jin Mengyao now, he quickly tied the sword behind his back, and at the same time put a thick cotton coat on his body.

I don't know when, Xia Ziyan has already stood behind Shen Linfeng, she gently put her white palm on his shoulder, and said softly: "Don't worry!

A warmth suddenly surged into Shen Linfeng's heart, when he was in Mengyin Mountain, Shen Linfeng had already told Xia Ziyan about Xiaoyu, of course, including the fox tail on the hilt of his sword.

At that time, Xia Ziyan just snuggled quietly in his arms, and did not say a word from beginning to end.

Now, although she didn't say much, this gentle gesture and a soft word of comfort made Shen Linfeng's heart extremely warm.

"Thank you!"

Xia Ziyan smiled.

"I'm going to fetch a basin of water, and when we're done, we'll go!"

"Hmm!"

The sun rises in the east, and the sun brings a trace of warmth to the cold heaven and earth, and a few roosters swim back and forth in the yard, raising their heads from time to time and howling at the sky. Even the big yellow dog that barks incessantly on weekdays is honestly lying in the shack at the moment enjoying rare comfort and warmth.

Shen Linfeng searched the entire courtyard and didn't find the stall owner, presumably he went out of the stall early in the morning to sell wontons.

He took a silver tael out of his clothes and placed it on the tattered table.

"Brother Shen, let's go!" Xia Ziyan pushed the door in.

"Hmm!"

The four of them turned over and got on their horses, and with a loud shout, the horse's front hooves were high, and they galloped away in the direction of the Jade Maiden Peak.

After about half an hour, rolling mountains blocked Shen Linfeng's way. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the sun is even brighter and more dazzling when it falls on it.

Behind the mountains, an ice peak reaches into the sky.

"That's Jade Girl Peak!" Shen Linfeng said, pointing to the back peak.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight pierced the clouds around the Jade Maiden Peak, and it was like a colorful light curtain, enveloping the entire ice peak in its brilliance.

Colorful and beautiful.

Xia Ziyan was even more fascinated by it, the cold wind blew across her reddish face, and picked up the few strands of light and fluttering hair under the cotton hat.

"Really...... It's so beautiful!"

Shen Linfeng turned over and fell off the horse, because it was a steep and difficult mountain road to go further, so naturally he could not ride forward on horseback. As before, he called on the people to remove their saddles, untie their reins, and let the four horses find their own way.

Everyone tightened their cotton clothes, and then walked towards the high mountain in front of them.

There are no trees or grass at the foot of the mountain, only a path full of rocks. The road is rough, but it's not too difficult to walk.

Half an hour later.

Shen Linfeng and the others had already walked to the top of the mountain, and the rocks under their feet were gradually replaced by a layer of snow. Rows of footprints of different shades on the ground stretched to the top of the mountain, and it seemed that several black figures of different sizes could be seen as far as the eye could see.

"They should be the same group of people who set out from Chengyang Town early in the morning. Shen Linfeng thought in his heart, and the pace under his feet also accelerated.

Not long after, a cold wind suddenly rose on the top of the mountain, and the snow on the ground was blown up again by the cold wind, hitting people's faces with pain like pins and needles.

Shen Linfeng and the four of them endured the biting cold wind, and after climbing three high mountains in a row, they finally rushed to the foot of the Jade Girl Peak at the time of the day.

This place is familiar to Shen Linfeng, he once heard the beautiful legend that only belongs to two people here, and he has witnessed two generations of people lose their lives for a belief in their hearts. To this day, Shen Linfeng still doesn't know the name of that tall man.

As soon as I walked down the mountain, there was a thick layer of snow, and the deep footprints on the ground stretched all the way forward. Not far away, in a raised snowfield, a wisp of white smoke rose up, and then was ruthlessly blown away by the cold wind.

Shen Linfeng knew that the place where the white smoke rose was the wooden house where he lived last time. The sad thing is that Brother Wang has been killed by the wicked, and naturally no one has cleaned this house anymore. Over time, the snowflakes blown by the wind buried the entire wooden house.

A group of bald men were digging through the snow on the ground with their scimitars, trying to dig out the whole hut, presumably to stay in it for the night.

There was also a group of big men beside Shen Linfeng, all of whom had a black beard on their chins, and all of them were carrying a tall and large gray cloth bag behind them.

Just when Shen Linfeng was wondering, these black-bearded men suddenly took off all the cloth bags behind them, and they took out a large piece of plush felt cloth from it in pairs.

Zhao Ting walked to Shen Linfeng's side and said in a low voice: "They are Mengma people, who wander around all year round and live without a fixed place. Behind them were the tents they usually used to live in. ”

"What about those people?" asked Shen Linfeng, pointing to the bald head who was still shoveling snow in front of the wooden house.

"Judging by their dress, it should be a newly rising gang on the rivers and lakes, called Wuzenmen! ”

Shen Linfeng nodded.

"And what about these?"

Zhao Ting looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that at the foot of the mountain, in a sheltered place from the wind, men with swords were sitting together. Some of them were young swordsmen, some were rough middle-aged strong men, and even two old men in the armor were among them.

"Them?" Zhao Ting chuckled.

"They should be the same as you and me, they are all idle Jianghu people with no door and no faction. ”

"Fuck it...... Don't wait!Lao Tzu doesn't want to freeze to death here!" A man with a sword got up and was about to go in the direction of Jade Maiden Peak.

His words immediately ignited the fighting spirit of a group of people, who patted the snow on their bodies and followed the footsteps of the man just now.
