It has been a severe cold, and when the western mountains pass through the northern end of the country, heavy snow is falling.
After more than ten days of trekking through mountains and rivers, traveling from east to north, over mountains and ridges, passing through Tuolai Mountain, and then through Corridor Nanshan, Mo Guyuan and his party of five people had traveled as far as the Shandan River.
To the north of Shandan River, there is Dashan Heli. At the intersection with Heihe River, there is weak water.
The further north you go, you can see thousands of miles of glaciers and mountains along the way, which is endless and extremely spectacular. Under the glacier, there is the Gobi wilderness. In spring and summer, it is an uninhabited desert. From the autumnal equinox every year, as the climate changes, the empty and lonely Gobi Desert will usher in its first snow. By winter, the place is basically covered with snow, and everything is silent.
Compared with the low temperature on frosty days, the weak water boundary in the northern part of Heli Mountain is an exception. Most of the rivers passing through the northern boundary of Xishan Mountain will be affected by the climate and freeze and solidify. But due to its geographical reasons and particularity, this weak water has never shown signs of being frozen since ancient times.
Even so, few outsiders set foot here. After all, it is a matter of life and death that cannot be trifled with.
At the moment, Mo Guyuan and the five of them were walking together, walking slowly on a snow-covered land.
The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and the traces of the few people walking along the way were covered by the new snow in the blink of an eye. The few people in the heavy snow looked particularly small and blurred under the mountains and wilderness.
The dumpling was still sitting on Mo Guyuan's shoulder. She had her head shrunk and was wrapped tightly in a fur coat. She, who was already slightly bloated, looked even rounder.
Diaozi held Mo Guyuan's head in his hands and rested his head on his head, looking drowsy.
Although the wind and snow were heavy, fortunately, the cultivation of several people now was no better than before. Except for Luo Kui, whose face was a bit pale, the other three could barely hold on.
The snow on the ground is getting thicker. As the road goes deeper north, the snowy road underfoot has almost swallowed up the entire calf, so that every step is extremely difficult and consumes more of one's physical strength and endurance.
"Mo Guyuan, what kind of suffering have we suffered? According to this progress, we may be buried in the snow before we reach Weishui." Yu Nie said in unspeakable pain.
When it comes to perseverance, Mo Guyuan is naturally the most outstanding one among them. He is currently walking in front, opening up a convenient path for the group of people, allowing the three people behind him to slightly reduce their burden.
"It's coming, it's coming. According to the route recorded in the book, it should be dozens of miles before we reach the boundary of Weishui." Mo Guyuan looked back and smiled.
When Yu Nie heard this, a look of bitterness appeared on his face. For tens of miles, at the current speed, he would probably have to walk for a day.
"It's snowy and windy in the sky. It's difficult to fly with a sword, so we can only walk through the mountains and fields. Don't be downcast. It's rare that the right time and place are so perfect. You can just exercise your body." Mo Guyuan encouraged.
Yu Nie was speechless, exercising? With his weird body, there was no need for it at all.
Taking advantage of the gap in the conversation with Yu Nie, Mo Guyuan looked at Yu Qinggong and Luo Kui, who were last. With the two people in front of them leading the way, the two girls walked quite easily. After all, the snow was deep, so they were naturally happy to be able to lift their feet effortlessly.
"Miss Yu, Miss Luokui, do you want to take a rest?" Mo Guyuan shouted.
This call woke up Dumpling. She stretched and mumbled "Abba, Ababa."
Yu Qinggong turned to look at Luokui behind him and said, "Why don't we rest where we are for a while? With them leading the way, it doesn't have to be so difficult."
Luokui smiled shyly, shook her head stubbornly, and said, "It's not easy for the two of them to open the way ahead. There's heavy snow right now. If we don't seize the time, I'm afraid the snow will fill up the footprints soon. It's already dark now." It’s late, we still need to hurry up.”
Yu Qingqing looked at Luo Kui's stubborn face with a bit of helplessness in her eyes. She naturally knew Luo Kui's intention, but with Luo Kui's cultivation, this journey was really hard for her.
With the addition of dumplings, the five of them walked together all the way. For Yu Qingxing, the addition of Luokui made Yu Qingxing more relaxed and comfortable. After all, she used to be a girl, and now with Luo Kui's company, the two girls can't help but have a lot more chats and laughter during the trip.
Luokui is simple by nature, and Yu Qinggong is forthright. They have become good friends soon after they met. Especially during the subsequent journey, the two of them spent most of their time together without caring about Mo Guyuan and Yu Nie.
"Luokui, it's okay. I'm just worried that you will get hurt. Don't think too much and burden yourself." Yu Qinggong said with a smile.
Luokui blinked and said playfully, "First, you are by my side, and second, Yu Nie is here, so I am not afraid. Actually, what Mo Guyuan just said is right, I also want to take this opportunity to hone my skills." Take a look at myself. I used to be carefree in the mountains, and Master talked about my practice every day, but I didn’t take it seriously. However, something happened in Changliu Mountain, and Master disappeared, so I just thought that now I have to work hard and wait until one day to see you again. When I get to Master, she will be happy if she sees me getting stronger."
Seeing Luo Kui reveal her heart, Yu Qingqing reached out and pinched Luo Kui's face, pretending to be displeased and said, "Then don't hold on. If you really can't bear it anymore, just rest where you are."
Luokui agreed wholeheartedly, but suddenly saw darkness in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw that it was Mo Guyuan and Yu Nie who had come round the way.
"What's wrong? I asked you if you wanted to rest, and you kept mumbling without saying anything." Yu Nie said to herself.
Luokui took advantage of the situation and sat on the snow. After seeing Yu Nie's arrogant look, she deliberately made trouble. She held the white snow in her hand and sprinkled it on his face.
Yu Nie was frozen and hurriedly opened her cloak and silk coat and shook off the falling snow. Seeing Luokui burst out laughing, without saying a word, he shoveled the snow towards Luokui as well.
"If you dare to sneak attack on me, I won't make you look good." Yu Nie grinned, and large snowflakes floated towards Luokui.
Luokui had never seen such a battle before. He sprinkled goose feathers with light snow, while Yu Nie stirred up dust and snow all over the sky.
"You!" Luokui exclaimed, clapped his hands on the ground, and hurriedly retreated back.
When Yu Qinggong saw this, without saying a word, he immediately raised heavy snow from one side and flew towards Yu Nie. Yu Nie was caught unprepared and was hit again.
"Let's join forces, right? This hero is not afraid of you." After saying that, Yu Nie took a deep breath and inserted his hands straight into the snow, ready to fight back. Behind him, Mo Guyuan hurriedly pulled to prevent Yu Nie from coming. Judging from his formation, it was clear that he wanted to bury Yu Qinggong directly in the snow.
"Mo Guyuan, what are you doing?" Yu Nie said with a frown.
Mo Guyuan shook his head expressionlessly, signaling Yu Nie not to be cruel to Yu Qinggong.
At this moment, another snowball hit Yu Nie's face, and Luo Kui not far away clapped her hands and cheered.
Yu Qingqing crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "Mo Guyuan, two versus two, don't use magic, let's see who can beat the other."
Mo Guyuan was stunned. How could he imagine that he had just helped her and was thrown out so quickly?
Yu Nie laughed angrily, and before he could react, he quickly picked up a pile of white snow and stuffed it into Mo Guyuan's cotton-padded jacket, then jumped away not far away and shouted, "Come on, let's see if I don't beat you to pieces." ."
As a result, in the vast open snow field, a few people distanced themselves and started having a snowball fight, which was really fun.
Dumpling had been standing on the ground a long time ago. Now that he saw the two sides fighting back and forth, his innocent face could no longer hold back the anxious look, and ran directly to Yu Qinggong and Luo Kui, grabbing The snow on the ground was bombarding Mo Guyuan and the two in the distance.
If the four of them were fighting equally before, chatting and laughing with each other, the situation turned around instantly after Dumpling was added to the mix.
I saw the dumpling's arms turning, like the axis of a cart, spinning and waving towards the ground to dig holes. In the eyes of Yu Qingqing and Luo Kui, they could only see the phantoms of Dumpling's flying hands, and countless snowballs rolling and throwing, heading straight for the location of Mo Guyuan and Yu Nie.
The two women were dumbfounded and looked surprised when they realized what was happening. Without any hesitation, they joined the battle with Dumpling and enjoyed it endlessly.
Mo Guyuan and Yu Nie had never seen such a formation before. Seeing the snowballs scattering all over the sky, the two of them had no choice but to resist the snowball attack, looking embarrassed.
Dumpling is extremely powerful and full of spiritual energy. With her joining, Mo Guyuan and Mo Guyuan can't have a snowball fight at this moment, and they can't even run away.
Mo Guyuan was miserable and hurriedly raised his hands to surrender, willing to accept the defeat. On the other hand, Yu Neyou refused to admit defeat. Even in the face of snowflakes, she still had to find a chance to resist in the cracks. No, taking advantage of Mo Guyuan's surrender and Dumpling's movements slowing down, he saw the opportunity and hit Dumpling directly in the face with a snowball.
Dumpling was stunned for a moment, and after seeing Yu Nie's complacent look, he looked at him with an angry face.
"Assi!"
This time, the snowball was as powerful as the violent wind and rain, as if the snow in the sky had turned into water, rolling in until Yu Nie could no longer be seen on the ground.
After a while, the three of them stood blankly on the empty land. There was no snow in the area of several feet. Instead, in front of their sight, there was a slightly raised snow mountain, unmoving.
Mo Guyuan was still frightened and even sweated for himself.
Just as they were about to dig out the snow, a wolf roar suddenly came from behind. Several people looked around and saw a man sitting on the sled, holding several snow wolves in one hand, not far away. , look deeply.
The man sitting on the sled also caught the eye of the dumplings before.
"Hey, are there still people living in this desolate and cold place?" Luo Kui asked in a low voice.
"Perhaps they are nomads nearby. The momentum of the dumplings just now may have caused a stir and made them see it." Yu Qinggong said slowly.
Mo Guyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the man in the distance. In his sight, he could see clearly that the person on the sled was a young man about ten years old.
He was holding several reins in one hand, and the other was empty. In addition, when he just stood up, he seemed to be lame in his legs.
"Who are you, and why did you come to Heli Mountain?" A childish voice sounded.
Mo Guyuan raised his hand and said, "Come to look for weak water, little brother, do you know the direction?"
