"Caogu Pass?" Qiu Laicai asked doubtfully, "Isn't it Jiagu Pass?"
"Jiagu Pass leads to Qionglong Silver City. If we want to find Bacho City, we need to go to the wrong Gu Pass."
"Oh I got it."
"But now there is a problem. The guide got lost in the snow and fog and accidentally entered the Cuogu Pass. During this period, he forgot many of the paths, so we only have one general direction. As for whether we can find Bacho City, we have to wait until then. On our own.”
"Hasn't the guide been to Bacho City?" the Taoist priest with a grimace asked.
Pei Shuang shook his head and replied: "It seems not so now. The guide was just looking for sheep and entered Cuogu Pass by mistake. He said that he had reached a valley as far as possible, and then he seemed to have seen the legendary Void Mountain. Rumor has it that Bacho City is located near Vong Kong Mountain, and there are many horrifying legends about that place, so the guide boasted that he had been to Bacho City. In fact, this was just the result of his vanity when he was young. I just want to show off in front of the people around me.”
"This person is so unreliable!" Zhang Xingdao exclaimed, "How can something like this be used to brag about?"
"There is no other way. We have already come this far. It is unrealistic to change the guide, and we can't find a more suitable candidate. Void Mountain is a forbidden area for the locals, and no one has set foot in it. At least we have taken a look at it from a distance. .”
"This this…"
"So in the end we have to count on ourselves, but you don't have to worry. With the hidden words given by the Holy One, we will be a little more sure. It's just that you need to take the lead in the next journey. You are all experts in this field. If you cooperate with the guide, you will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"It all depends on the general's orders." Everyone responded.
After Pei Shuang finished speaking, he stood up and left. Everyone in the room had complicated moods for a moment, and no one spoke any more, and they all returned to their beds.
The Taoist priest with a grimace waved his hand to let Luo Laoqi go back to sleep, while he half leaned on the quilt. He recalled the conversation below and felt that Pei Shuang seemed to be hiding a lot of things from everyone, and there was one thing that he couldn't figure out at all - -Since the guide has never been to Bachoch City, why did he show such fear when he mentioned Bachoch City?
The fear that the guide felt at that time seemed to come from his heart. If he had not experienced it personally and only listened to a few legends, it would be difficult to perform the feeling that penetrated into the bone marrow.
Is this because the guide is possessed by the drama queen, or is Pei Shuang hiding something? The grimace Taoist priest naturally prefers the latter.
The grimace Taoist glanced at He Siniang and planned to discuss it with her, but then looked at the other people in the tent and finally gave up the idea. Nowadays, it is difficult to say anything quietly. Now I can only take one step at a time and make plans on the road.
The rest of the day was spent in peace. After dinner in the evening, everyone returned to the tent to rest early.
That night, around the third watch, the Taoist priest with a grimace was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound.
The ghost-faced Taoist priest was sleeping closest to the tent door. At this moment, he opened his eyes gently, and then he saw two figures opening the curtain and walking out.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace woke up instantly and hurriedly raised his ears to listen carefully to what was going on outside.
The footsteps stopped not far from the tent door, and then disappeared.
After a long time, just when the grim-faced Taoist priest was about to go out, a whisper suddenly sounded outside. It was Xia Houyu who heard the voice: "The stars here are as chaotic as flying ink, and the corresponding mountains, rivers and ground veins are all in great conflict. Jirui without dragon energy is simply a very dangerous place! Nephew, are you really determined to wade into this muddy water?"
Xiahou Qi's voice then sounded: "If you regret it, it's still too late to leave now, why bother getting involved at such an old age."
"Isn't Fourth Uncle thinking about the Faqiu Sect? You are aloof and arrogant. If something goes wrong with the lama this time, won't you lose my title as Heavenly Official?"
"Hey! Are you afraid that if I accomplish this big thing, my reputation will completely surpass that of you and that little boy?"
"Nephew, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. At my age, my fourth uncle is not as active as you."
"Okay! Stop being pretentious. I didn't see you there when we were fighting for power. If you dare to go to this fight, go. No.
If you dare to go home and retire quickly, don't stay here and you and I will hate each other. "
"Oh! Why don't you listen to my advice? "The earth's Qi is sufficient but the pulse is disordered." This is a typical disaster place "King of Hell's Drumming Field". The worst of it is a land of corpses. You and I are conflicting for our own sake. , I really can’t afford to risk my life by running here! "
"Why are you risking your life?" Xiahouqi's tone did not soften at all: "This is a snowy plateau, and the customary burial system is completely different from that of China. You always use the concept of the "Burial Scripture" to show off here, don't you just use it? A donkey's lips are like a horse's mouth?"
"You! How can you be so stubborn?! After all, you are also a heavenly official holding seals. Don't you even understand the principle that "the sun, moon, and stars all shine; mountains, water, and laws all have their basis?" "
"Since you know that I am the heavenly official holding the seal, stop talking nonsense. I have already made up my mind. I don't need anyone else to persuade me whether to go or not. As for whether you go or stay, I am not interested at all."
After Xia Houqi finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the tent, while Xia Houyu was the only one left outside, standing alone in the night wind, looking into the distance and thinking.
Hearing Xia Houqi's return, the Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly closed his eyes again. While he was surprised that the two of them had just talked, he couldn't help but have another doubt: What did he mean by what they said? Like just go and go? Does Juezi camp not care about them?
After a long time, Xia Houyu finally returned to the tent.
This episode in the night was quickly lost in the snoring of Lao Qi. The Taoist Priest with a grimace also knew that there was no use in making wild guesses, so he gradually let go of his nerves and fell asleep within a short time.
Early the next morning, everyone got up on time and started packing their bags.
During this period, the grim-faced Taoist priest secretly took a look at Xia Houyu and Xiahou Qi, and saw that the two looked as usual and were packing their luggage in an orderly manner like everyone else. It seemed that nothing had changed from the conversation last night, and the two still decided to go to Void Mountain .
After the team was assembled, everyone started looking for Cuogu Pass under the leadership of the guide.
According to the guide, Cuogu Pass should be located northwest of Jiagu Pass. Back then, he passed by Jiagu Pass in the snow and fog, and then walked along the foot of the mountain. Finally, he saw the narrow Jiagu Pass between two peaks shaped like female breasts.
In this case, Pei Shuang decided that the team would advance to Jiagu Pass first, wait until they were near Jiagu Pass, and then go west along the foot of the mountain to find Cuogu Pass.
The team quickly reached the front of Jiagu Pass. At this time, they were very close to the towering mountain. Standing in front of it, humans can feel extremely small and humble. Perhaps this is the original reason for the origin of snow mountain worship. Facing such majestic and unknown snowy mountains, it is difficult not to feel a sense of awe.
