Diverting from the front of Jiagu Pass to the northwest, the team walked another ten miles. At this time, the guide in front suddenly shouted, "Found it!"
The grim-faced Taoist priest and others hurriedly approached, and then saw two low mountains appearing in front of the mountains. To say that they are short mountains is only a relative term. In fact, these two peaks are hundreds of feet high, and the canyon formed between them is also unfathomable. However, the canyon seems to be very narrow. From a distance, it looks like the mountain is split. It's like a gap.
"Is that Cuogu Pass?" The grim-faced Taoist priest looked at the steep and rugged peaks on both sides of the canyon. It was really difficult to connect them with female organs. He couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't it mean that the two peaks are very similar to a woman's breasts...breasts?" ?」
The guide shook his head and pointed his finger in the distance and replied: "That's because it hasn't snowed yet. When the snow spreads all over the land and covers the mountains, you will know whether it looks like it or not."
"The poor Taoist might as well not know."
"Are you sure that's where it is?" Pei Shuang looked at the guide.
The guide nodded and said, "You're right, I remember that narrow valley that's like a line of sky."
"Then let's head towards this place and try to arrive near the mouth of the valley at noon."
"Yes, sir."
The guide started leading the team towards the mouth of the valley. This journey seemed not far away, but as the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain and running to death", it actually took more than half an hour to get there.
After arriving at the mouth of the valley, it was time to eat. Pei Shuang ordered his subordinates to quickly light a fire to cook, while he took his guide and the mushroom men to the vicinity of the mouth of the valley to observe.
From a close distance, Cuogu Pass is like a narrow mountain gate. The peaks on both sides are steep and almost vertically inserted into the clouds. The narrow valley in the middle is only more than two feet wide. Looking up from it, there is indeed a "line of sky". Feel.
Pei Shuang looked at the guide and asked, "How long is this narrow valley?"
The guide replied: "It's about a mile or two. After walking to the end, there is a wide valley. I was deep in the valley and saw the city of Bacho in the clouds in the distance." ap.
"Didn't you stumble into this place in the snow and fog?" Jia Wusuan asked doubtfully, "It was snowing so heavily that you couldn't even see the road, but you could still see the clouds?"
"You don't know, but this snow fog is not an ordinary heavy snow weather." The guide explained: "In winter on the plateau, there is often a mountain wind. Strong winds come from the mountain passes, carrying a lot of snow and traveling across the valleys. In a short period of time, the temperature will drop sharply and the visibility will become extremely low. However, the range of this mountain wind is not wide. Sometimes there is wind on one side of the mountain, but there is no movement on the other side. I encountered it in the river valley that year. There is snow and fog, but after passing through the Cuogu Pass and entering the valley, the sky is clear inside, so you can see the city of Bacho in the clouds."
After hearing this, Jia Wusuan suddenly said: "I see, the emphasis of this weather is on "wind" rather than "snow and fog". It sounds somewhat similar to the phenomenon of "demon wind rising from the plains" in our Central Plains. "
"It's much scarier than that. Snow and fog can really kill people. Otherwise, why would I break into this forbidden place?"
"How long can we walk through the valley inside?" Pei Shuang asked, "Is there a place to camp?"
"I haven't come to the end yet, but I guess I'll have to walk for a day anyway."
"It's so far away! Where is the camp?"
"Camp... Sir, we'd better not camp in the valley overnight."
"Why?"
"The valley seems to be a bit uneasy at night..."
"Here he comes again!" Tang Weiwu said sarcastically, "Are there any ghosts or monsters at night?"
The guide shook his head: "No, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the valley. According to local legend, the deepest part of the valley is the lair of the white-haired and black-clawed wolf king, so it will be very dangerous in the valley at night."
"Hey! With so many people in the camp, how can they be scared by a jackal? General, don't listen to him, he is just making excuses not to go to Bacho City. How can we not camp outside when we are marching in the wild?"
"Oh sir, I have already agreed to go to Bachok City, how can I still make excuses?"
Pei Shuang waved his hand to interrupt the quarrel between the two, and then said: "In the wild, jackals, tigers and leopards are much more dangerous than ghosts." Then he turned to the guide and asked: "You said the wolf king's lair is at the end of the valley?
"
The guide nodded hastily.
"Then we can consider setting up camp halfway. This valley is so long, and our physical strength on the plateau is not as good as before. We can't go all the way without resting."
"General Ying..."
"The general is in trouble!" At this time, a soldier from the camp suddenly ran over in panic, pointing to the distance and panting: "Above the river, the valley! Something is approaching us, and I don't know what it is in a large area of white mist!"
The guide's expression changed instantly when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran out and looked into the distance.
When everyone saw this, they all followed. Soon, at the top of the river valley, they saw a vast expanse of white covering the sky and the sun, coming like a wave. At first glance, it looked like an avalanche, but it was faster than an avalanche. , I’m afraid it won’t take half a stick of incense to reach you.
The guide's expression became very frightened at this time, and he was a little embarrassed when he spoke: "Xue, Xue Wu, it's Xue Wu! Everyone, get out of the valley quickly!"
"Snow fog?" Jia Wusuan frowned and said, "Didn't you just say that snow fog only happens in winter..."
"Oh, sir!" The guide interrupted Jia Wusuan by stamping his feet, pointing to the distance and saying urgently: "Look at that day! It's dark and cloudy. It's obvious that the weather has changed. If we don't leave, we will freeze to death here. Already!"
During this period, Pei Shuang kept looking into the distance, and his face gradually became serious. At this time, he finally spoke and said to Tang Weiwu: "Immediately ask the people below to pack their things, and then pull the team into Cuogu Pass to take refuge. Quick!"
Tang Weiwu accepted the order.
At this time, the guide suddenly said: "Sir! Don't let the team stay in Tsogu Pass."
"how?"
"The weather has changed in the distance, so after the snow fog, there must be a heavy snowfall. Since the terrain of Cuogu Pass is narrow, once the team is trapped in it, it will easily be buried by the heavy snow."
"so what should I do now?"
The guide looked back at the snow and fog that was getting closer, and then gritted his teeth and said, "We can only do the same as I did before, pass through the Cuogu Pass and go into the valley!"
Pei Shuang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then quickly came to his senses. He nodded and immediately began to greet everyone: "Everyone, please follow the guide and quickly move towards the valley first, with the Juezi camp following closely behind. Move faster! Try not to let others go. Cattle and horses were left behind."
Everyone acted quickly as instructed, with Mushroom Gate and the guide leading the way, followed by various factions in the martial arts world, and finally the Juezi Camp. However, because the Cuogu Pass was only two feet wide, and the team was led by cattle, horses and other livestock, the narrow valley instantly became overcrowded, and the entire team was gradually stretched into a long straight line.
The team was stretched too long, and no matter how fast the front moved, the back could not follow quickly. Therefore, before most of Juezi Camp's centaurs entered the pass, the snow and fog from the river valley surged over.
