Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Game of Wind and Snow

On the bank of the Han River in Xiangyang, heavy snowfall.

It was nearly noon, and the weather was gloomy.

Snow flew like sand, and the roar of the wind swept across the plain.

It snowed heavily for three days, and the entire plain became a snowfield, and even the Han River, which was constantly flowing, was quiet at this moment.

The sound of horses' hooves was sudden, and three horses swept by, bringing up a pile of snow chips, which were stopped in time when they were about to rush into the Hanshui River beach.

"What the hell is the weather. Yue Ziran helped the felt hat on his head, turned around and asked, "Rong'er, are you okay?"

Huang Rong was covered tightly in a mink fur, her mouth and nose were also covered, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. She shook her head lightly, but there was exhaustion in her eyes.

The wind and snow were so heavy that any recognizable markers were hidden.

Yue Ziran could only get off the horse, and after checking on the Hanshui River beach by himself, Bai Rang pointed in a direction and said loudly: "Go in this direction, there is a hill not far ahead, the slope is gentle, and there is a restaurant after turning over the hillside, we can go there tonight to rest until the snow stops." The wine of that restaurant is good, mellow and fragrant, and it still makes me salivate when I think about it. ”

Bai Rang nodded, and took the lead in beating his horse forward to find the way for them. Yue Ziran led the horse to Huang Rong's horse, first calmed the horse who was restless in the wind and snow, and then asked with concern: "Rong'er, is it really okay?"

Huang Rong nodded again, signaling that she was fine, but she shrunk her arm, although her hand was wrapped in sackcloth, she was still cold and a little unintuitive, and the reins were in pain when she grabbed it in her hand, and she couldn't feel it.

"I'll do it. Yue Ziran spoke, jumped on Huang Rong's horse, hugged her in his arms, took the reins and drove the horse slowly, and the other horse was psychic and humane, following behind by itself, and would run to Yue Ziran's side from time to time and rub his legs. After a while, it seemed that Yue Ziran and they were too slow, and they would speed up their pace, step on the broken Qiong Chaoyu in the snow, and run to Bai Rang's side to rub a few times.

"This animal is not afraid of the cold. Huang Rong was slightly jealous, and said vaguely with her mouth covered. It's just that when the words reached Yue Ziran's ears, they had already been blown away by the wind and snow. Seeing that Yue Ziran didn't hear herself, Huang Rong pouted, then her cunning eyes rolled, and she turned around and put her hands into Yue Ziran's arms to warm up. Yue Ziran only felt a coldness in his arms, lowered his head and saw Huang Rong snorting comfortably when he closed his eyes, so he didn't pay attention to her anymore, but hugged her tighter, so as not to pour the wind and snow into his chest.

Bai Rang in front stopped, and the hillside had arrived. But the snow covered the mountain, and the pine trees turned into cedars, and the white expanse hid the road. Yue Ziran stopped the horse, looked around, pointed to a pine tree that was growing bending, and said, "If your memory is good, follow this pine tree and go straight to the pine forest, this section is a trail, just enough for horses to pass by." It's just that now the road is slippery, and we all have to get off the horse and lead away. ”

Dismounted, Huang Rong asked, "Are you familiar with this place?"

Yue Ziran nodded: "Naturally, I have lived here for many years. After speaking, take the lead in opening the way ahead.

Yue Ziran's memory is correct, although there is a lot of snow in the mountains and it is difficult to climb the mountain, the slope is not very steep, and the road is paved with small gravel on some river beaches, so it is not difficult to walk. Moreover, the sound of the wind in the pine forest was obviously quieter, and there was no need to speak loudly between the three of them. Soon Bai Rang led the horse to lead the way, while Yue Ziran took care of Huang Rong in the back, and pointed out a few words from time to time to avoid making a mistake.

After turning a corner, a pavilion appeared next to the mountain road, and the octagonal cornices stood in the wind and snow. It's just that the pavilion is too close to the cliff, and the wind and snow will pour in from the cliff from time to time, so it is not a good place to avoid the snow.

Bai Rang suddenly stood still.

"What's wrong?" Yue Ziran pulled Huang Rong forward and the two horses meekly followed behind.

Bai Rang pointed to the octagonal pavilion in surprise, but there was no word.

Looking over, Yue Ziran couldn't close his mouth in surprise. There were two people sitting in the pavilion at this time, a monk and a scholar. They seemed to have been sitting there for a long time, and the wind and snow had flooded their bellies. The monk's white eyebrows were bent to his mouth, and there were thin ice edges formed by the snow, and his shoes, clothes, and monk's robes had frozen into ice lumps.

The only place that seemed warm was the top of his bare head, which was steaming hot, apparently using his internal strength to ward off the cold.

Yue Ziran glanced at the other side of his body with his back to the wind and snow, where the snow turned into water, flowed to the mountain road and then froze, winding and slender, like a frozen stream, obviously formed by the water beside the monk after the snow melted.

Yue Ziran was surprised, this monk's strong internal strength is rare in this life.

Look at the scholar again, Eguan Bo belt, his head and beard are all pale, covered with ice crystals, and the cotton robe has become a piece of porcelain at this time, looking like clothes that have just been washed and frozen in winter.

What is particularly striking is that his face is unusually pale at this time, three points whiter than the dead. The snot was running down the slopes, but I don't know when it happened, because they were all frozen and hung on the nose. The only thing that allowed Yue Ziran to confirm that he was alive was that the snow that the wind blew to his eyes was still melting, so that his eyes would not be frozen.

Obviously, in terms of internal strength, he is much inferior to a monk.

Yue Ziran frowned, judging from the snow beside them, they had been here at least before the heavy snow came. In the past, he may have been able to protect his body with internal force, but now he can only protect his head and his eyes.

In less than half a day, the two of them are afraid that they will both die.

According to the memory of the original book in his mind, Yue Ziran could not judge the origin of the two.

Moreover, the world's masters are not only the five supernatural powers of the East Evil and West Poison, the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar, at least the one who is slightly mentioned in the book is an unknown person who fought wine and martial arts with Wang Chongyang after the first Huashan Sword Debate, and was better than Wang Chongyang who wrote the "Jiuyang True Scripture".

Huang Rong suddenly pointed to the stone table in front of the two of them, where although the wind and snow were partially covered, a black and white game of Go could still be clearly seen.

The two monks, Shang Shusheng, were staring at the chessboard without blinking at this time.

"They're playing chess. Bai Rang said in surprise.

Yue Ziran took the two of them to the pavilion, wanting to take a closer look at the chess game, but most of the chess pieces were covered by wind and snow, and they couldn't look at it thoroughly. I can only tell Bai Rang to carefully clean up the white snow.

Huang Rong said on the side: "The two of you reckless your lives for the sake of a game of chess, isn't it too child's play?"

The scholar could no longer speak, and he didn't even blink his eyes, only a line of freshly melted snow ran down his nose, sticking to his beard and quickly forming ice.

The monk's eyebrows loosened, and he said softly: "This is not just a game of chess, it is a matter of the world. ”

Huang Rong was surprised, staring at the chessboard and not showing anything strange, she couldn't see what this game of chess had to do with the people in the world. Then he opened his mouth and asked, "If you win, what will happen to the people in this world?"
