In the northwest, in the far north, the mountains are all covered with snow, and because the terrain is already extremely high, the slightest breeze carries a chill to the bone. In the middle of this large white snow-capped mountain, there is a slightly gentle mountain range, and a large stone in the pass is slightly scrawled with the words "Tianping Mountain, people stop here", but this is the only way to the higher and farther mountains. At this time, Zhang Shijie, who had traveled a long distance, sat on the slope of Tianping Mountain with a wry smile, nibbling on cold dry food in a small temple where only a vague statue of the goddess was enshrined. He now knew how difficult the task given to him by the second prince was.

Half a month ago, he came to the foot of the mountains in the far north, but he inquired about several villages under the mountain for several days, and the people in several villages had never heard of the place of Baotian Mountain, let alone the Crystal Cave. The farthest distance that the oldest hunter in the village walked was Tianping Mountain, where he is now, and the temple where he is located is said to have been built by his fathers when he was still a child, and there is a very legendary story about the reason why he built this temple.

The people in the village under the mountain mostly rely on farming and hunting for a living, but the year was extremely bad, there was almost no harvest in the field, and the hunters were anxious about the situation of the last meal and no next meal in the village, so they met to hunt some mountain goods in the deep mountains for food. Because of the old legend in the village, these deep mountains have become fine mountain spirits will eat people, even if there is no mountain spirit, many beasts hidden in the mountains are not easy to deal with, so in the past, everyone will not go to these inaccessible places to hunt, but that time the situation is special, and it is not enough to take care of it, after coming out for more than ten days, although the harvest is there, but it is obviously not enough to support the village to survive the famine, so the old hunter's father instructed the hunters who followed them to send the prey back to the village first, and his father with five capable old men planned to go to the mountains again, hoping to hunt a few more valuable prey。 They braved the wind and snow for another five days to come here, and that night they dug a few snow nests in the leeward part of the south of the mountain to rest, but they did not want the smell of blood and meat from the smell of blood and meat when they roasted their prey over a campfire at night to attract the mountain wolves. Mountain wolves are extremely ferocious animals, they hunt in groups, and once they find their prey, they will keep an eye on them, and they will not give up until they reach their goal, and they are one of the opponents that hunters are most afraid of encountering. The hunters were encircled in the snow den and could not be attacked and retreated for a whole day, two old unfortunate mountain wolves were dragged out of the hole to tear to pieces, at the moment of crisis, a fairy fell from the sky, with a flying sword that emitted red light, the head wolf of the mountain wolf pack was killed instantly, and saved the old hunter's father, from the mouth of this fairy they learned that the mountain is called Tianping Mountain, the fairy told them that it is extremely dangerous to go further from here, and they need to leave as soon as possible to avoid accidents again, and at the same time hope that they can tell others not to come here, after saying that, he immediately flew into the dark, like an old hunter who had a nightmare, his father took the other three and left in a hurryFortunately, the famine of that year finally passed, but the old hunter's father always remembered the fairy's life-saving grace and entrustment, so the next year when the climate improved, he came here again, built this temple, and asked someone to write a warning on the stone of the mountain pass, "Tianping Mountain, people stop here".

Zhang Shijie felt that this story was the only clue that could find the crystal cave of Zhutian Mountain, so he came here. But when he arrived here, he found that the climate here was harsher than he had heard at the bottom of the mountain, and he walked to the mountain for less than an hour, wearing the cow felt he specially bought at the bottom of the mountain to protect against the cold, and the close-fitting cashmere jacket was cold and could not retain some warmth, so he had to return to the only shelter on the whole mountain - this temple.

Taking out the letter of recommendation given to him by the second prince from his arms, Zhang Shijie seemed to see the second prince sitting opposite him in a trance, and asked him with a smile: "Have you completed the task I gave you?", Zhang Shijie wanted to shake his head, but he couldn't help it, but said in his heart, I will definitely complete this task, master, please rest assured. So he rubbed his face, which was already a little numb, and was ready to set off again, this time he told himself that he must complete the task assigned by the second prince, if not, then he was willing to die, in order to show his determination, he also took out the black jade tail ring that the second prince gave him from his arms, and put it on his finger.

One day, two days, last time he only walked out of two hours, and now he has crossed three not small snow-capped mountains, but his physical strength has also reached the limit, cold, cold and hungry, staggering in a daze.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but he suddenly noticed a huge garden in front of him, which was full of colors, and a stone table in the garden was still placed with mouth-watering food. So he walked over without hesitation, closer, closer, and just as he was about to step into the garden one more step, there was a rapid sound of wind in his ears, and then he realized that the garden he saw was a huge group of rocks in the distance, and he had just stepped into a huge valley separated him from the rocks, and he had hallucinated.

Zhang Shijie was already in a coma before he reached the bottom, but he was very calm about his ending at this time, so his last thought was: "Master, I did my best." ”

At the bottom of the ravine, Zhang Shijie's snow-stained Dayu looked tattered after many violent impacts, and it was also stained with blood at this time, and it would soon freeze, Zhang Shijie under the Dayu was unconscious, if he didn't deal with it immediately, he would probably die in less than a quarter of an hour. At this moment, a white light suddenly emitted from the tail finger of his left hand, which did not spread out as if it was alive, but slowly extended along Zhang Shijie's hand, through his big coat, jacket, and underwear, and slowly covered him completely, and although Zhang Shijie was still unconscious, he saw that his body was being obviously repaired.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Shijie has not woken up, but the obviously life-threatening wounds on his body have gradually healed, and the white light attached to him is gradually weakening.

At this moment, a yellow light swept through the sky above the valley, and if Zhang Shijie was awake, he would be surprised, because it was not a bird flying in the sky, but a human figure. After a while, the yellow light went and turned back, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe fell to the bottom of the valley, he quietly looked at Zhang Shijie's back, looked at the only faint light left on his body and seemed to remember something, paced to the front of Zhang Shijie, and found the source of the light at a glance - the black jade tail ring.

He was still in a coma, and the yellow-robed Taoist priest looked at the friction marks that still existed on the cliff next to him, and quickly imagined what happened to Zhang Shijie three days ago, "The token that I haven't seen for a long time, it's actually in your hands, well, my heart is quite strong, and my luck is too bad." The yellow-robed man muttered, "I just don't know how long you can hold on, and if you want to cultivate, this test of the road is not enough." After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw that the white light on Zhang Shijie's body was about to dissipate, he turned around again, "Okay, who let me meet it, I'll help you today." After that, he raised his hand and pointed to Zhang Shijie's tail ring, and a white light was injected into it, and he clapped his hands and smiled, and in a blink of an eye, the yellow light before turned into the previous one, and on Zhang Shijie's black jade tail ring, the white light emitted was obviously much richer than before.

After another day, Zhang Shijie finally woke up, and the soreness and numbness all over his body made him sound for the first time, but at the same time, he also discovered the fact that he was not dead, opened his eyes and looked at his body, he found that there were no scars on his body, but the frozen blood on the big body highlighted that he did fall from the snow mountain into the valley. However, he didn't find out that it was the Moyu Tail Ring given to him by the Second Prince that saved his life, because the moment he opened his eyes, the Moyu Tail Ring no longer shone and returned to the ordinary.

Standing up, the first thing Zhang Shijie did was to rummage through the recommendation book in his arms, fortunately, it was not lost, put it at ease, he felt unprecedented hunger, fortunately, the dry food he brought was still there, and it was not lost when he slid into the valley, so Zhang Shijie sat down again, while observing the valley he was in, while filling his stomach.

It's a huge valley, almost a hundred feet on both sides, with a thick layer of ice, slippery and hands-free, although not vertical, but almost the same, it is almost impossible to climb up with bare hands, the only way is to go to the depths of the valley to see if you can find your way up in the depths, or you can only go to the end of the valley, the junction, where you should be able to walk up the slope to the left or right. After making up his mind, Zhang Shijie was almost full, and slightly disposed of the blood stains on his body so as not to make the mistakes that the old hunter had made, and Zhang Shijie continued on the road. It seems that as he fell into the valley and ushered in good luck, as he went deeper, three days later Zhang Shijie found a way out of the valley bottom, this road was obviously dug by hand, just carved out a foothold far away from the valley wall covered with thick ice, although it was still very dangerous, but for Zhang Shijie, who was burdened with the task of the second prince, this still symbolized great hope, and even because of this dangerous road, Zhang Shijie felt that it was very possible to find the crystal cave of Baotian Mountain, so in this mood of expectation, he actually succeeded after falling down twice in a row。

The snow-capped mountains are still stacked on top of each other, but with the previous expectations, Zhang Shijie was full of confidence, and he felt that the wind and snow were not so cold, of course, he didn't notice that his left hand tail ring occasionally flashed quietly, revealing a little white light to moisturize his body and resist the cold.

In this way, after more than ten days of trekking, when Zhang Shijie no longer knew where he was in the far north, he finally saw a trace of people outside of himself - a dojo. It sits on a sunny hillside, and there is a little boy cleaning inside.
