When the musk oxen stopped again, it was already dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The blizzard became more and more violent, roaring and roaring, blowing away the entire snowdrift like crazy, rolling it into the air, the direction was uncertain, the heaven and the earth were the same color as if they were pinched into a big round ball and rolling with everyone, and the blowing snow hit Tang Linkun and their faces like a small knife, so that they could not breathe, unable to speak, and their ears were full of bursts of mutated and miserable sounds, like wolf howls, like the neighing of horses in the distance, and sometimes like the proud screams of whalers.
The little musk ox couldn't stand on his feet and simply lay down, the adult musk ox was all in the upper wind, and Tang Linkun and they hid in the stable wind like the little musk ox.
"We can't go, and neither can the whalers, Brother Mo, let's dig a snow pit!" Tang Linkun even said with a gesture, but Mo Leopard, who was close at hand, still didn't understand what Tang Linkun meant. Tang Linkun simply pulled out the dragon tooth knife on his waist and slashed frantically in the snow.
"Dig as big as you can, and bring the little musk ox over. ā
"No, Prince Guo. Mo Bao grabbed Tang Linkun's hand and shouted, "The wind is too strong......
Tang Linkun only found out at this time that because the snow was too soft and the wind was strong, the snow dug out was blown away in the blink of an eye, and the overwhelming snow that blew from which direction filled the snow pit they dug in an instant.
Tang Linkun knew that the temperature would drop sharply at night, and if there was no shelter from the wind, they might not survive tonight, what should they do? Tang Linkun felt particularly helpless for the first time.
Tang Linkun took the blood stone and tried it, the originally omnipotent blood stone seemed to have lost its powerful energy this time, and it could only make Tang Linkun's own palm warmer. Sure enough, it's a virgin land. All the fairy treasures have also lost their original role.
"Dig ...... We can't sit still!"
The male musk ox didn't know when to turn to Tang Linkun's side, bit Tang Linkun's clothes and pulled them in one direction, and even the little musk ox that was crooked in the wind stood up next to the big musk ox at this time. Tang Linkun immediately understood the intention of the male musk ox, "Everyone hand in hand and follow the musk cow herd quickly." ā
I don't know how long they have been crawling in the snow, but when Tang Linkun gradually lost control of their limbs, there was a slight warmth in the wind, and after walking less than ten zhang, the snow under their feet became thinner and thinner...... Suddenly, more than a dozen hot spring eyes appeared in front of everyone, like a large iron pot with firewood burning under the mouth. The little musk oxen rushed in front of Tang Linkun and them, and they all jumped into the hot spring.
"Take off your coat first......" Before Tang Linkun finished speaking, four or five guards had already jumped in.
"Ambassador Tang, how did you find this?" Zhao Yun and his dozens of personal guards were soaking in the hot springs, and after Zhao Yun and the others evaded the whalers, they were lucky enough to encounter these hot springs early.
"General Zhao's ......"
Tang Linkun took off only a pair of shorts and jumped into the warm spring water.
Tang Linkun, his eldest brother and General Zhao have not come back for a day and a night, Mo Li and they are getting more and more anxious to wait, as long as they go out of the house and can't stay for a pillar of incense, they can't stand the cold. Tang Linkun's situation can be imagined. When Mo Li saw that even five or six particularly hardy elk had frozen to death, he couldn't wait any longer.
"No, I'm going to find Prince Guo and them, Da Lei, if we haven't come back for more than three days, you can drive the fire house back to the forage field first." ā
"I won't go back first, they will be back soon on Ambassador Tang's Day. "Da Lei lives in the tundra all the year round, knowing that after three days, if everyone hasn't come back, then something must have happened, and he can't even think of such a result now.
"Fourth Brother Mo, bring more food and warm clothes...... Zhong Ruoyin quickly sorted out a large package and handed it to Mo Li.
Mo Li was afraid that he would get lost again, so he picked two big yaks, tied his body to the yak with a rope, and walked out of a few miles, the snowstorm was getting bigger and bigger, Mo Li felt that the heat on his body was being blown away a little bit, but he was unwilling to go back like this, Mo Li remembered the hot springs he had encountered when he was lost, and turned a big corner.
The dozen or so springs were now very lively, and a group of snow monkeys came out of nowhere, and soon occupied five or six other springs, despite the fact that there were already many small musk oxen and cousins in them.
In the ice and snow, soaking in the warm spring, this is really a wonderful feeling like ice and fire, Tang Linkun and they gradually became sleepy......
When the frozen Mo Li struggled to roll into the hot spring, he, a latecomer who broke his balance, was immediately attacked by several snow monkeys, and a lot of blood was scratched on his face.
"Damn, is this hot spring your home?
Mo Li launched a ruthless attack, in the splashing hot spring, grabbed the snow monkey and threw the hot spring one after another, when Mo Li touched a smooth body, he was creepy, why is the snow monkey hairless?
Mo Li's neck tightened, his throat was pinched by a strong big hand, Mo Li was in a hurry, one foot under the water struggled to pop out, but he didn't expect to be caught by the hairless snow monkey, a spin, Mo Li's whole submerged under the water, before he could come out, his head was held down by the snow monkey, Mo Li drank several sips of bath water in a row, he still wanted to struggle, was imprisoned by the snow monkey with both hands and feet, and could no longer move.
Mo Li under the water is ashamed, this world is really amazing, and a martial art can't do anything to a hairless snow monkey.
Just as Mori was about to faint after drinking the bath water, the snow monkey grabbed him by the hair and pulled him out of the water.
Mo Li coughed more than a dozen times in a row, tears and snot, "Okay, okay, I won't soak in it, I'll give you this hot spring, right?"
Unexpectedly, the snow monkey hugged Mo Li tightly, Mo Li struggled a few times and did not break free, this time it was completely finished, this should still be a female monkey in estrus, and it can't beat it...... Just when Mo Hu was thinking nonsense, "Fourth brother, why are you here?"
"Big brother, it's you...... I thought it was ...... Why are you here?"
"Tang Ambassador Day, Mo Li is here!" Mo Leopard's shout woke up all the sleepy creatures in the hot spring.
A slick body flew out of the spring next door, and jumped into Mo Bao's hot spring pool, without even a drop of splash, looking at this elegant figure, Mo Li knew that it was Ambassador Tang's Day.
When Tang Linkun knew that Zhong Ruoyin was safe for them, he breathed a sigh of relief, "God forbid! Without this herd of musk oxen, we will see you again in the next life." ā
"Come down! You all come down! It's not easy for everyone. Mo Li saw that on the edge of the hot spring, the dozen or so snow monkeys who were thrown out of the hot spring by themselves were trembling with ice cubes, but he was afraid that he didn't dare to come down, so he hurriedly waved to them.
"The envoy's wife asked me to bring food ......" Mo Li pulled over the large package and took out the cooked beef inside to distribute to everyone, the dozen or so snow monkeys had eaten such delicious cooked food for the first time in their lives.
In the second half of the night, when the snowstorm was getting smaller, and knowing that several of the guards were getting wet, Mo Li and Mo Leopard volunteered to grab the yak's tail and return to the fire house. Just when the sky was slightly bright, the fire house controlled by Da Lei rushed to the edge of the dozen life-saving hot springs.
"Let's get out of here, it's not far from the whaler's village. Da Lei kept urging.
"Brother Mo, unload some of the forage from our elk sleigh......" Tang Linkun, who was feeding the musk oxen salt, ordered.
"We can't unload it anymore, it's going to be even more difficult ahead! Our elk herd will starve to death!" Seeing Mo Leopard tumbling over the oats on three sleds in a row, the reindeer hand jumped out of the control room to block Mo Leopard, who was bent on repaying his kindness.
Bidding farewell to the musk cows, the joy of meeting again in the fire house has not yet dissipated, and the scene in front of them makes everyone's mood extremely heavy again.
Along the way, there were frozen corpses of whalers everywhere, and last night's blizzard ruthlessly took the lives of thousands of whalers chasing musk oxen herds, and they were like sculptures, maintaining a posture of fighting against nature on the vast snowy fields, and the direction they were heading was directly opposite the hot spring, which was less than ten miles away.
Tang Linkun was depressed for several days, and listened to General Zhao Yun say that several large waste camps near the land of Xianhu, because the land of Xianhu refused to accept the exiled criminals of the heavenly court, the waste camp was overcrowded for a while, and after a large number of waste ran out of the waste camp, they did not dare to return to the heavenly court, so they were stranded in the tundra area.
Although the heroes who escaped from these waste camps were all criminals who had committed the most heinous crimes, but the Heavenly Court was so big, did there really be no place for them to stand? Tang Linkun felt that the act of exiling criminals to a place where they could not survive at all was even more cruel than directly killing all the criminals.
On the first day after passing through all the whalers' villages, as soon as everyone's nervous nerves relaxed, two of the guards fell ill, but fortunately they brought some medicinal herbs in their bags, and after eating a few sticks of decoction, the two guards recovered quickly. After this interruption, Tang Linkun's mood gradually became more cheerful.
Five days later, the fire house entered the eternal night zone that Da Lei said, and strange lights flashed in the night sky, and the guards who had never been to the eternal night land had the illusion that they had arrived in another world from time to time, and asked Da Lei what these things were?
Da Lei said that this is the torch of the ghosts and gods to guide the souls of the dead to heaven, and those lights will make the sound of the gods stepping in the air, which will take away people's souls and leave bad luck. It's better for everyone to see less. But who can stop such a beautiful view? Even the most timid Zhong Ruoyin often has sour eyes when he sees it.
"This is similar to the aurora in the polar regions of the human world......" Tang Linkun has never been to the two poles of the human world, he can only rely on the little knowledge reserve in his mind to explain to everyone.
After walking for about ten days, everyone was able to keep their eyes on the gorgeous aurora.
"Tang Ambassador Day, the Magic Snow Mountain has arrived. Da Lei opened the small windows of the front and rear compartments and stretched out his head, "From here to the north, the terrain is flat, I estimate that you can reach the Heiling Strait after walking for another month." ā
"Da Lei, can't you come with us to Hanxian Hu?" Mo Hu said, "Can you go back to the forage field alone?"
Da Lei took off his elk skin hat and scratched his head, not knowing how to answer Mo Hu, it is not that the villagers of more than 1,000 trees are still waiting for him, the village head, to go back. There is no need for Mo Hu to remind him, he will definitely follow Ambassador Tang's Day all the way.
"Thank you, Da Lei, the villagers of Three Trees need you more, but you must be more careful along the way. ā
Under Tang Linkun's arrangement, Da Lei put on the warmest Polar Bear skin sweater, in addition to a sleigh pulled by six elks, Tang Linkun deliberately divided two strong yaks to let Da Lei take them, but Da Lei resolutely refused.
"On Ambassador Tang's Day, when you return, you will definitely come to our three trees as a guest. Have a good trip, everyone!" Da Lei was afraid that he would shed tears in front of everyone, so he shook the rope around the elk's neck, and the sleigh slid up quickly.
"Da Lei, pay attention to safety-!" Tang Linkun's concerned voice still caught up, and Da Lei cried "whining". (To be continued.) )
