After lunch, the group continued to move forward. The road began to become difficult to walk. There were huge ice falls and exposed black rocks everywhere. Yun Ye saw the marmots constantly appearing, so he took out his ice ax and climbed along a trot.
When we went up, there were light green snow lotuses everywhere among the ice and snow. We didn’t have enough time, so we couldn’t see them in full bloom, but they were good for making medicine.
Snow lotus can only bloom if it has been growing for more than four or five years. It is a good medicine for women. Yun Ye took out a knife and cut the snow lotus from the root, put it in his backpack, and took it back to Narimu for use.
.
Liu Jinbao was smart. When he saw the Marquis taking action, he immediately took action. His skills were much better than Yun Ye's. After a while, he picked a lot. Wu Shi also picked one, tore off a leaf and put it in.
He chewed it twice, then spit it out and said to Yuan Shoucheng: "It's really good, but the medicine has a cooling effect. It should be used by women."
"It's shameful to be among other grasses, but how can a pavilion be fragrant alone? Why not be appreciated by others? The deep mountains and poor valleys are suffering from severe frost?" Yun Ye raised his head and sang a song, and the clear voice spread far away, frightening away the marmots who were poking their heads.
"Marquis Yun, this is a dangerous place. We should not stay for a long time. This is where we met the snow dragon last year." Yuan Shoucheng warned Yun Ye.
Yun Ye smiled and said nothing. Seeing everyone picking a few snow lotuses, he continued to move forward. The pine trees on both sides were gradually getting shorter, and the pine forest had become much sparser. If he walked further, there might be only low ones left.
The bushes are gone.
A bear is rubbing its back against a tree as if there is no one around. It has a fat body, which means that this guy has had good food this month and is probably not interested in attacking people. When the snow melts, there are always many animal carcasses that have been frozen in the ice and snow for half a year.
Come, it's enough for a full meal, not to mention that Yuan Shoucheng left more than forty corpses here last year.
It was a pleasant thing to pick up jade. The fist-sized piece of jade was crystal clear and did not look like a raw stone at all. It still felt warm in his hand. Yun Ye happily took the piece of warm jade.
Put it in Liu Jinbao's backpack.
Yuan Shoucheng's face was ugly. He came to the fairy land, and Yun Ye's behavior was more like a spring outing. But it seemed that he came at the wrong time. The last time he came here, he had lost more than a dozen people, and now
, not only did there not be any crisis, but you could also collect herbs and gems. The biggest threats were the bear that rubbed its head just now, and the huge rock eagle that kept circling overhead.
This kind of eagle is so huge that it can easily lift a blue sheep weighing sixty or seventy kilograms with its wings spread out. Yun Ye’s biggest hope in going to Tianshan is to catch two little eagles and take them home.
When I was in Chang'an, everyone else was carrying kites, and I didn't know how to play. Changsun Chong's family had a kite to show off, but who would have thought that he was slapped in the face by the kite and couldn't see anyone for half a month. He became a popular among the dandies.
Made a joke.
If you get two of these rock eagles back home, and when you go hunting, you don't let the rock eagles catch prey, but only catch other people's hunting dogs, and see if those bastards still dare to laugh at your past.
Hanzhe's family had two such eagles, but unfortunately they were let go by him, but the iron pieces that controlled the eagles were still there, and they might not come in handy at this time.
A loud hawk chirped, and an eagle swooped down like an arrow. Snow powder suddenly flew from the nearby snow mountain. When the eagle flew up, it was discovered that it was holding a snow dragon more than ten feet long in its talons.
, At this time, the body of the snow dragon has returned to white, and its head was scratched to pieces by the two talons of the eagle, hanging limply in the air. "Mr. Yuan, you see, this is it, everything in this world falls, and it has arrived.
At this time, the eagles will come out to look for food, and all the snow dragons will be hiding, so our alliance can go up the mountain in a big way."
Yuan Shoucheng groaned and said nothing. One of his disciples died here. Now hearing Yun Ye's sarcastic words made him feel better.
It was almost sunset and he had walked sixty miles. This was Yun Ye's limit. If his boots weren't very soft, his feet would have blistered by now.
The road surface was obviously large pieces of red sandstone, but Yun Ye asked everyone to continue to pitch the tents on the ice. Yuan Shoucheng and the four disciples originally wanted to pitch the tents on the sandstone, but seeing Yun Ye's half-smiling expression, Yuan Shoucheng still ordered
His disciples listened to Yun Ye.
A large stone slab was brought over and a fire was lit on it. Yun Ye looked at the sun that was about to set. He and Liu Jinbao carefully came to the red sandstone. Liu Jinbao took out a small bottle of chicken blood and added hot water to dissolve it.
He fell on the stone next to him, and then the master and servant hid aside and looked at the stone slab quietly. After a while, a dark, palm-sized thing came out from under the stone. It turned out to be a huge
Scorpion, Liu Jinbao caught the scorpion with pliers. Yun Ye quickly cut off its tail needle with a long knife. Liu Jinbao threw the big scorpion onto the ice. After a while, the scorpion was
Curled up into a ball and became motionless.
Using this method, they caught seven or eight large scorpions in a row. Seeing that the sky turned dark, the two came back reluctantly! Liu Jinbao took a knife and quickly dismembered the scorpions, removed the poison glands, and exposed the snow-white scorpion meat.
This is great for grilling.
While eating dinner, each of us shared a little bit of scorpion meat. The taste was indeed wonderful - unparalleled. Yuan Shoucheng looked at Yun Ye who was talking to Wuji with a very strange expression. He couldn't figure out why Yun Ye was so familiar with this place. He had been here before.
That's not the case either.
The four old Taoists disappeared. Just as Yun Ye was about to ask, he saw them walking over from the ice and snow pile over there, dragging a snow dragon in their hands. Yun Ye watched the blood of the snow dragon spilling all the way, and immediately
He shouted: "Quickly, pack your things quickly and be prepared to deal with it."
The veterans were well-trained. After hearing Yun Ye's words, they immediately picked up the crossbows beside them. The horizontal swords were also unsheathed and inserted into the ice in front of them, and they looked around vigilantly.
Yun Ye looked around and found nothing unusual, and quickly said: "Pack up the tent, let's leave quickly, we can't stay here anymore." Before Yun Ye could say anything else, the small snow mountain over there seemed to be boiling, and countless
The snow dragon snaked down from the mountain and rushed over with its mouth open...
"Run!" Yun Ye turned around and ran without saying a word, and started running along the gravel road. Xuelong couldn't run fast on such terrain, and screams came from behind. Wu Tongue wanted to go back, but Yun Ye
Pulling him tightly to run quickly, the thirty veterans and Liu Jinbao naturally followed their master closely. Who has time to take care of the veteran, who can take care of so many snow dragons.
After running for a full mile, Yun Ye stopped and turned around to count the heads. Another veteran was missing. He stood and looked back at his camp. It was already crowded with snow dragons and all the tents were crushed.
There were even a few snow dragons trying to put out the fire.
"Don't make your own decisions without orders from now on. People will get killed here." Yun Ye said lightly and ordered people to light the fire again. Fortunately, he had told everyone when he set off that he could not throw away his backpack under any circumstances, so
You can still move forward now.
"Why is Marquis Yun so familiar with Tianshan?"
"Familiar? Do you know how many things I did before climbing the mountain?" Yun Ye turned around and looked at Yuan Shoucheng and asked. Seeing that he was silent, he continued: "This winter, you have been hiding in the house all day long, chanting sutras and practicing Taoism.
I was not idle. Tian Yuanyi copied all the legends about this mountain for me during this winter. There was a box full of piled up documents. My staff summarized and sorted out useful and credible legends from them, and finally compiled them.
It was turned into a book and given to me to read. I read it for a whole winter before I remembered these things in my heart. Among them are the legends of snow lotus, black lute, scorpion and snow dragon.
I have read it, and there are no immortals in these legends. Since it is a lesson gained in life, I will remember every lesson firmly, and I don’t know when it will save my life.
Snow lotus is a good thing and can cure diseases. Black scorpions appear in the rocky beaches. Snow dragons are the most difficult to deal with. As long as one is injured, the rest of the snow dragons will come out in force and devour those who offend them. In winter, snow dragons are in heat.
, will take the initiative to attack people. At this time, the snow dragon does not come out during the day and hides in the snow to avoid natural enemies. If you don’t mess with it, it will be fine. Your people will mess with it and seek death. If you do it again next time,
Be careful, I will use military law to deal with it.
"It's a pity that Chengfeng died like this just for the sake of gambling. Don't worry, Marquis Yun, I will definitely follow your lead in the future." Yuan Shoucheng sadly cupped his hands and sat on the big stone with three other disciples to pray for the dead Chengfeng.
Wind chanting sutra.
Without a tent, a group of people could only spend the night on the ice with animal skins under their bodies and blankets wrapped in blankets. After dawn, they returned to the camp and found their own sleeping bags, but the tents were no longer available.
, the dead snow dragon disappeared, Yuan Shoucheng's disciple Chengfeng also disappeared, there was only a sticky backpack and a blanket on the ground.
Going further, the glacier disappears, and we have reached the sunny side of Tianshan Mountain, which is a completely different world from the mountain shade. Thick green grass covers the entire hillside, purple flowers are competing to bloom, and clusters of horse lily grass are blooming.
It is blooming beautifully, but unfortunately, it has no fragrance. Not only the horse lily grass has no fragrance, but most of the other flowers also have no fragrance. At most, they have a faint medicinal fragrance. Although they don't know each other, Yuan Shoucheng and his apprentices are still picking them wildly.
I thought I was in the garden of the Queen Mother of the West.
There was a small valley on the left. Yun Ye picked up a handful of gravel and threw it into the valley. The whole valley seemed to come alive all of a sudden. The colorful trees seemed to be losing their leaves.
Instead of falling, it soared upwards, like a colorful dragon pouring out of the valley, reaching the sky and then plunging to the ground, as if it had been smashed, and the entire grassland was covered with broken brocade.
"What is this?" Yuan Shoucheng took Yun Ye's arm and asked.
