Xie Mingzhou was quite helpless, and he said to the old man: "Then you tell me how to go to Kunlun Mountain." ”

The old man finally raised his head, turned to the north and said, "That's the direction, but I haven't walked it either, I heard it from others a few years ago." ”

Xie Mingzhou took out two ingots of silver, handed them to the old man, and said, "Old man, this is my gift to you, you give half of them to their family." As he spoke, he pointed to the little girl's family.

The old man was about to excuse himself, but Xie Mingzhou had already disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help bending down and kowtowing again.

Leaving the little girl's family and the old man, Xie Mingzhou went straight in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, he didn't use his spiritual power to hurry, he just used the power of his body.

Along the way, there are constant shepherds driving cattle and sheep, and this is supposed to be a winter pasture, and although the grass here is frosted, at least it can provide forage for these animals to eat.

The sun is still shining, but there is no temperature on the people, those herdsmen are wearing thick leather jackets, and they see Xie Mingzhou wearing only a thin green shirt, walking on the grassland in this winter, showing curious and awe-inspiring eyes.

At dusk, the moon has risen, but the sun has not yet set, the sun and moonlight are poured on this grassland, sprinkled on these shepherds and cattle and sheep, soft and soft but so cold, Xie Mingzhou tasted another kind of desolation.

In such a night and such a place, who would not think of the hot noodle soup and ambiguous quilt at home? The feeling of warmth can only be experienced when it is cold!

Xie Mingzhou didn't have this kind of experience, because he didn't feel cold at all, maybe he had been outside for a long time, and he didn't feel lonely now, he just walked slowly, running the magic of the Thousand Rivers, and the Yuan Shen in the mud pill slowly rotated, absorbing a trace of scattered energy.

The night couldn't stop him, he walked like this for a few hours, and when he felt a little tired, he stopped to find a sheltered place to rest, so that the Yuan Shen turned more quickly.

When the sun shone on this plateau again, Xie Mingzhou got up and continued to hurry, today's temperature seems to be higher, there is no wind, the sun seems to have a little warmth, Xie Mingzhou enjoys this feeling very much, he has no luck, just walks quietly, and enjoys the beautiful scenery of the grassland by the way.

The glacier that flows out of the glacier is like a lightning bolt that stretches into the distance, and the water and the ice floating on it are slightly blue.

A blue lake appeared in front of me, the shallow water was a light blue, the center of the lake turned dark green, and the ice was densely covered with large cracks, as if it had fallen from the sky and shattered a bronze mirror.

Xie Mingzhou did not stop, for him, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a kind of scenery in the world, and it is impossible for him to stop his progress because of a certain scenery! The most beautiful scenery in his heart is only at the peak of the "Dao" that he has been looking for!

Time didn't matter to him fast or slow, and after two or three days of walking, there were no people on the road, only wild horses, yaks, and antelopes, and wolves chasing these prey.

After walking for another seven or eight days, he finally saw a mountain range, Xie Mingzhou felt that this should be Kunlun Mountain, but he couldn't find anyone to ask, he climbed the ridge and found that this mountain range stretched to the west, which confirmed his thoughts even more.

Just when he couldn't make up his mind, he found that there seemed to be people busy there by the glacier not far from the foot of the mountain, and he decided to inquire about it, whether he could understand them or not, at least let them understand what he meant, and point the way.

When I came to the glacier and asked, I was surprised that there were four or five Han people among the ten or so people, and they all came out of the Guannei to pick jade here, which is already the place where beautiful jade has been produced since ancient times in Khotan, the Western Regions.

There are many people who come to Khotan to collect jade, and they follow the river into the mountains to dig, but there are also a few people who will look for the place where the glacial river comes out of the glacier, because avalanches and ice avalanches will also bring out a lot of mountain stones, and there may be beautiful jade in these mountain stones.

This group of people has been here for a few days, but there are not many jades found, Xie Mingzhou still has a lot of jade on his body, but he has never seen jade, he took a look at it curiously, but found that a fist-sized piece of jade, faintly revealing a faint energy fluctuation.

Xie Mingzhou suddenly felt a surprise in his heart, and released his divine thoughts to probe in to take a look, and the jade inside really contained energy!

It's a pity that this energy is too thin and useless to him at all, and the effect may be similar to that of his own meditation and cultivation.

However, this is also good news, indicating that he has reached the place where jade is produced, and the jade containing energy just now proves that it is indeed possible that chalcedony exists in this mountain range.

But he didn't know anything about jade mining, and if he went to find chalcedony alone in the vast Kunlun Mountains, it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, at least he had to have a general direction.

He made a mockery of the group of jade pickers and asked, "All the laymen are merciful! The poor road comes from the Central Plains, but I don't know that this is the Kunlun Immortal Mountain?"

Everyone clasped their fists in return, and a jade picker who looked a little older replied: "The Taoist is polite, this place is already considered a line of Kunlun Mountain, but there is still some distance from the real Kunlun Mountain, but you can reach it by walking along this mountain range." ”

Xie Mingzhou asked again: "If you want to pick some chalcedony, I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

A group of people looked at each other, and the jade picker just now said: "The Taoist chief said that he laughed, how can I know where the chalcedony is? If I knew, I would have gone to pick it myself, so why bother trying my luck here." ”

He didn't lie when he said this, where there is chalcedony, there must be a jade vein, if you know where this chalcedony is, then you must go and pick it first, where can you wait until now?

Xie Mingzhou didn't have much hope, but he still continued to ask: "Can the layman tell the poor Dao where there are more jade?"

Where there is a lot of jade, it has long been turned over by people I don't know how many times, this is nothing to hide, the jade picker said: "Follow this river into more than a hundred miles, there used to be a lot of good jade, but now there may not be any." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Dao Chief, in fact, if you want to talk about the place where jade is produced, this Kunlun Mountain Range can be produced anywhere for one or two thousand miles, but there are many places where we can't go, and a master like you should be able to go." You just have to follow the river into the mountains, and then look along the mountains, and maybe you can find the chalcedony. ”

When Xie Mingzhou heard this, he didn't ask, but he finally had a little bottom in his heart, he thanked him for picking jade, and turned around and walked towards the glacier.

Along the way, he met two jade pickers, Xie Mingzhou did not stop, this section of the place should have been turned over, and if you want to find chalcedony, you have to go to that inaccessible place.
