15 years ago.

Jiang Yuntian rode in the lead and led dozens of martial arts heroes to a mountain forest.

Jiang Yuntian walked forward almost non-stop, ready to lead everyone up the mountain.A young man not far behind him quickly chased after him: "Brother Jiang, wait a minute!"

The sound of hooves gradually slowed down.Jiang Yuntian reined in his horse and turned around. Seeing that the person chasing him was Xie Jingming, he asked, "Jingming? What's the matter?"

Xie Jingming looked at the densely vegetated and misty forest in front of him, and said, "The front is full of mountains. The air here is humid and foggy. If you go up the mountain rashly, you are afraid of getting lost. Should we ask the local people to guide us?"

This time the righteous way of martial arts besieged Tianning Sect, and everyone split up their troops. Jiang Yuntian led a team to march from the north.Jiang Yuntian is from the north, and the place where he lives all the year round is stable and open. He knows little about the high mountains in the south.He looked up at the mountains in front of him, and then at the late sky, hesitating a little.

There was a young swordsman in the team, named Qi Youde, also from the south, who echoed Xie Jingming's statement: "Let's find a guide, if you get lost on the mountain, you will be in trouble."

Jiang Yuntian said: "Okay, let's find someone to lead the way."

So they sent two people to find the nearby common people, mountain people.

However, it took a long time for everyone to find several houses.But the houses have long been empty.When the local people heard about the battle against demons, they had already taken refuge for fear of harming the fish in the pond.It was very difficult to find one or two mountain people. After cross-examination, the two people were very suspicious. They were probably the accomplices of the Tianning Sect, so they were not credible.

After all this tossing, it was almost dusk at this time.

Xie Jingming said: "It's difficult to walk on the mountain at night. Why don't we rest here for a night, and after tomorrow's dawn, send two people to find out the way first, and then lead the crowd to climb the mountain."

Jiang Yuntian said: "This will delay a day's work."

Xie Jingming said: "There is no other way."

Jiang Yuntian saw that everyone was tired from the journey, so he had to lead them to camp at the foot of the mountain to rest.

Early the next morning, the two volunteers went to the mountain to explore the road.

Everyone waited for half a day at the foot of the mountain, but the Pathfinder still hadn't returned.Jiang Yuntian couldn't wait any longer, so he asked everyone to mount their horses and prepare to go into the mountains together to find someone.

Xie Jingming said again: "Brother Jiang, it's not right. It's only been half a day, and the terrain in the mountains is complicated, why don't you wait a little longer."

Up to now, Jiang Yuntian was somewhat dissatisfied, and said: "If you wait any longer, it will be getting late again, and you won't be able to leave today."

Xie Jingming had no choice but to say: "Then it's better to send one or two people into the mountain to look for people."

Qi Youde agreed again, saying: "Yes, yes, Brother Xie is right. Brother Jiang, let's send two more people into the mountains to explore the way."

Jiang Yuntian was established in recent years, and became famous in the world for his Fengyi saber technique.He is following the path of brave and external martial arts, and his temperament is also like his swordsmanship.As for Xie Jingming's eighteenth birthday, in his eyes, he was just a little boy with yellow hair.He sneered: "Send two more people? If you don't come back after sending two more people, continue to send people? Why don't we just disperse and go into the mountain separately!"

"No." Xie Jingming said, "If the people sent out still can't come back, it means that there is something wrong in the mountain. Maybe the fog obscures the eyes, making it difficult to distinguish things, and the road is difficult to find; or there is an ambush in the mountain. Then maybe we should Take a detour."

This place is close to Chuxiu Mountain where the Tianning Sect is located. If you take a detour, you will have to walk for a few days at least.Jiang Yuntian sneered and said: "If there is an ambush, then we should go up together and kill him without leaving a piece of armor! If the road is difficult... Let's look for the direction, encounter thorns, cut it off! Encounter a mountain ditch, jump over ! Everyone present is a hero, so don’t be afraid!”

When Xie Jingming heard what Jiang Yuntian said, he knew that he underestimated the difficulty of the mountain road.He was about to persuade Jiang Yuntian with a few more words, and carefully explained to Jiang Yuntian the danger of getting lost in the mountains, but at this moment, Qi Youde, who had been agreeing with him, spoke before him.

Qi Youde was probably infected by Jiang Yuntian's passionate and ambitious words, so he changed his position and said, "Brother Jiang is right, then let's go into the mountains together!"

Most of the team led by Jiang Yuntian are from the north, and they don't know the dangers of the mountain road.Previously, Xie Li raised objections, and some people agreed, so it was inconvenient for them to express their views.At this time Qi Youde turned against him, which of these heroes is willing to fall behind?They were full of enthusiasm, clamoring and preparing to leave.

Xie Jingming didn't expect that Qi Youde would change his mind, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother Qi, why are you also... Getting lost in the mountains is definitely not a joke, you must not rush into it."

Qi Youde persuaded: "Brother Xie, what is the most important thing when we come out to fight against the Demon Cult? It is to work together. It is troublesome to get lost in the mountains, but it is not yet Chuxiu Mountain. The more troublesome thing is to lose our hearts. Brother Jiang is right, there are so many of us, all of whom are heroes, and if we are going in one direction, there is no way we can go, is there anything we can’t do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuntian applauded this young man who "corrected when he knew his mistakes": "Well said!"

Xie Jingming was dumbfounded by his words.He knew in his heart that getting lost was not a problem that a few dozen heroes could "work together" to overcome.However, the words have reached this point, and if he continues to speak, he will become a villain who "shakes the morale of the army".

Jiang Yuntian said loudly, "We were already late compared to the other groups of people. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to arrive at the foot of Chuxiu Mountain at the appointed time. Don't say anything, everyone present, who has the way to inherit the principles of heaven and eliminate demons?" If you want to, immediately follow Jiang to kill the Tianning Sect!"

His passionate speech aroused the excitement of all the people present, and those who had doubts, seeing the trend of the times, did not dare to speak.

Only Xie Jingming still bit the bullet and insisted on his position: "Brother Jiang, once we lose our way in the mountains, the delay will not only be three or five days, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuntian coldly interrupted him: "Xie Jingming, when I was your age, I had no scruples at all. I was alone in the rivers and lakes with a knife, and that's why I have Fengyi knife today." Fame. Now that I have a family and a career, I still have an unyielding spirit. You are so intimidated at such a young age, how can you be a person who has become a major event! Martial arts practitioners, in addition to talent, your state of mind determines your martial arts. Learning realm. If you are so afraid of things, I think your realm has come to an end! Since you are afraid, there is no need to follow, I will not force it!"

Jiang Yuntian's stubbornness came up, and he couldn't listen to anything.Most of the people respected him, disregarding Xie Jingming's dissuasion, the mighty team went into the mountain.

How could Xie Jingming abandon his companions and retreat?Had to follow the team.

When everyone entered the mountain, there was only one way to go, and it was very smooth.

After walking for half a day, when they entered the mountain forest, there was a fork in the road.Everyone walked in one direction, and the higher they went, the higher the terrain became, and the terrain became more and more complicated, densely covered with thorns, making it difficult to ride horses.He got off the horse and continued on his way, leading the horse.He never lost his way.

As a result, Jiang Yuntian became even more dissatisfied with Xie Jingming, and even more unwilling to listen to him.

After walking for a while, after noon, the sun went down and they were still in the forest.This mountain forest is also vast, and there is no way out forward, and no way back. As the terrain gets higher, the fog in the mountain gradually thickens.

Finally someone asked, "Have we already passed here?"

Qi Youde immediately said: "Isn't it? We're going all the way, and we shouldn't turn back. The trees here are all about the same size, so they look similar."

In fact, there is no straight road to go in the mountains, the mountain road is rugged, and they have already made several detours.

Jiang Yuntian said: "Don't talk nonsense! We've already walked half way, let's hurry up and go down the mountain before dark."

It's a pity that most of the things in this world didn't work out as expected. It didn't take long for the mountain to rain again, the rocks were slippery, and the road was even more difficult to walk.When it was dusk, they were still unable to get out in the forest.

Xie Jingming knew that Jiang Yuntian didn't like to be disobeyed, so he walked up to Jiang Yuntian and suggested in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, it's getting dark and the road is difficult to walk at night. Let's rest in the mountains for a night. I don't know the rain. When can we stop? It's cold, so let's hurry up and collect some dry firewood to light a fire at night."

However, his attitude did not get Jiang Yuntian to tolerate him.Previously, Xie Li took the lead, and several people supported Xie Li, so he had no choice but to give in, but now those who seconded Xie Li have "rebelled", and Xie Li is isolated and helpless, he has become the biggest traitor in Jiang Yuntian's eyes.Jiang Yuntian ignored him and walked forward.

It got dark quickly, and after dusk, it was night in a blink of an eye.In any case, it is impossible for them to go down the mountain today.

As a last resort, everyone had to stop.The rain was getting heavier and heavier. At this time, there was no dry leaf on the mountain. It was too late to collect firewood and build a shelter from the rain.Fortunately, a team of people are all descendants of Jiang Hu, not old or weak, but they don't care too much, so they just stayed up in the rain all night.

When it was dawn on the second day, Jiang Yuntian was about to lead the group to move on, but found that two people had already had a fever, and several horses could not get up.It turns out that the weather at the bottom of the mountain is hot, but when we get to the mountain, the temperature drops sharply at night and it rains heavily. Even if there is martial arts by his side, not everyone can survive the rain and cold all night.

Those who are strong will help those who are sick, but the sick horses will ignore them and continue on their way.

The next day, they still couldn't go down the mountain.

Xie Jingming's words became a prophecy, and everyone actually lost their way in the mountains, and they couldn't get out of a seemingly insignificant mountain forest after wandering around for two days.The forests in the mountains are dense, even with the sunlight, it is difficult to tell the direction.

On the third day, someone finally learned to be smart and carved marks on the passing trees in order to know the direction.It's a pity that the marks they left only made them realize that they were always spinning in circles, and could not help them get out of the forest.

The time delay is still a trivial matter. After being trapped in the mountains for three days, everyone soon discovered a more difficult problem-there were more and more sick horses, but their dry food was getting less and less.

These heroes came out to crusade against the Demon Cult. They all traveled lightly, with one person and one horse, so they couldn't bring much. When they went to a town, they could buy dry food, or hunt some wild fruits and game on the roadside.Along the way, every three to five days, or towns, or road stations, can be replenished.However, they were stuck in the mountains and couldn't get out, and their food was almost gone.And on this mountain, although the vegetation is dense, there are many poisonous insects and fruits. If you eat at will, your life may be in danger.

In this way, a group of heroes have fallen into a predicament before reaching Chuxiu Mountain.
