Those years when I climbed the wall

A round of red sun is slowly rising, and the orange sunlight breaks through the lingering morning fog, perfectly reflecting the outline of the mountain ahead.

"That's Dingshan!" The guide raised his finger, his tone of awe.

Mu Yunqi gazed into the distance, and saw that the mountain was so majestic, shaped like a crouching tiger, with the cliff piercing through the clouds, precipitous yet upright.I also praise myself.

"Is the ice lake under it?" Guo Kai asked.

The guide nodded: "The lake is at the foot of the mountain, ten miles away."

"Then hurry up and don't delay the journey!" Shao Jingheng urged.

Inspired by the lampshade last night, Mu Yunqi learned that there is still ice in this world that cannot be melted by fire, and suddenly thought: Gather this ice caster to prevent medicine people!So a group of people set out before dawn and detoured for twenty miles to come here to get ice: It is said that Dingshan was the residence of gods thousands of years ago, and the mountains and rivers were psychic. Therefore, it is regarded as a sacred object by the Hu people.

A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, followed by a rugged path, and headed towards the mountain.The road is not long, but the mountain road is rugged and the snow is thick and difficult. It takes half an hour to walk to the open ice lake.After dismounting, the guards, led by the Bailong tribe who led the way, went down to the lake to hammer and chisel.

The sound of jingling rang incessantly, making Mu Yunqi dizzy and dizzy, so he walked away and walked along the lake, taking the time to think about his plan.

The road ahead gradually narrowed, and Mu Yunqi stopped, hesitating whether to move on or turn back.Looking back at the lake, there are more than ten or twenty figures still digging hard, but the next piece of ice has not been taken out. It seems that what the patriarch said is right, this stop will not be able to go on the road for a long time!Like this... A wry smile fell from the corner of his mouth, and he continued to move forward.

A piece of the mountain wall in front is recessed, and the protruding top wall is covered with icicles, which reach the ground and are beautiful.Mu Yunqi stepped carefully, supported the rock wall to go around the ice, and walked less than two feet away. Suddenly, he felt a cold wind blowing from one side, and saw that the mountain wall was sunken again a few steps away. He had a guess in his heart, and continued Going forward, my eyes suddenly lit up - as expected, there is a cave here!

"Lang Jun, Mr. Shao invites you to go back!" Lu Chongning urgently called out from behind.

After hesitating, Mu Yun prayed reluctantly, turned around and walked back—at an emergency, it is best to exercise restraint, so as not to take unnecessary risks.

The clanging sound on the lake seemed to be louder than before, Mu Yun prayed to his forehead, and pulled the person standing quietly on the bank to point back: "Jing Heng, there is an ice cave over there, it seems that the light is still shining through, I don't know Where to..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from afar: "Xianggong!" It was Zeng Wuhua, who saw him running forward quickly, with a serious expression on his face: "There is a group of people coming from outside the mountain, it looks like Youguo army."

"Youren?!" Shao Jingheng became alert, "How many people are here?"

The answer was: "About a hundred people."

For a while, Shao Jingheng lowered his eyes and thought quietly.Mu Yun prayed to know what he was worried about: the turmoil in You's country has not subsided, and it is impossible to determine whether it is the official army or the rebel army who come this time, but in case, there are nearly a hundred people who come, but the number of our own side is less than forty, and we are absolutely weak in the battle!

"Is there a place to retreat here?" Mu Yunqi asked.

"I have to ask the Qiang and Hu people." Zeng Wuhua said, "I'll go and ask!"

But was stopped by Shao Jingheng: "Bring him ashore to ask."

The barbarian came and heard that he wanted to find a place to hide. After hesitating, he pointed to the place Mu Yunqi had just been to: "There may be a place to hide in the fairy cave, but we didn't dare to break in in the past, fearing that we would offend the fairy and bring disaster. "

"Immortal Cave?" Mu Yunqi's eyes lit up: Sure enough, I knew this cave was unusual!

"I can't take care of that much at the moment. We will avoid danger for the time being. I don't think the immortals will blame us." Shao Jingheng made a final decision.

"However, can that cave accommodate so many people?" Mu Yunqi frowned: "And how should the horses be placed?"

This is a difficulty.

After thinking about it, the one-year-old Qianghu man pointed to the rock wall on the other side of the lake: "There are several large caves on the other side, which can accommodate our horses, but there is no shelter in front of the cave, and we can see it from a distance." Looking back: " As for this Immortal Cave, we have never entered it, so we don't know what's inside."

While speaking, I heard the guards coming to report: Youren's army is approaching!

Without any hesitation, Shao Jingheng ordered half of the guards to take refuge in the cave on the other side with the Qiang Hu people leading horses, and he took the rest of the guards to protect Mu Yunqi and hide in the Immortal Cave.

A dozen mermaids entered the cave, followed the light in front of them, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, it suddenly became clear that there was a huge ice room inside, which could accommodate dozens of people!Looking around, there are still ice tables, chairs and couches: there are no traces of carving, and they seem to be made by nature!The top of the cave is hollowed out and covered with almost transparent thin ice, through which the sky can be seen.Looking at the four sides of the ice wall, except for the side where the road came from, the remaining three sides have light penetration, perhaps there is a hole in the sky outside.

"Sir, there is actually a sword hidden in the ice!" The guards who looked around suddenly discovered it.

Mu Yunqi followed Shao Jingheng forward, and he saw a long sword suddenly frozen in the ice hanging from the ground behind the ice couch!Two words are engraved on the hilt of the sword: Mingquan!

"Mingquan?" Shao Jingheng was surprised, "How familiar?"

"Lang Jun, there is an ice box here!" Before he was allowed to think too much, he heard that Lu Chongning would report back later.

Mu Yunqi looked back and saw that he was holding an ice box several feet square in his hand.Open the lid of the box, and inside is a white jade seal with three characters engraved on the bottom: Seal of Heavenly Master!

"Tianshi..." After Shao Jingheng pondered for a while, he suddenly realized: "Li Yi and Li Tianshi, his sword is named 'Mingquan'!"

"Li Yi?" Mu Yunqi was startled.

"Didn't he ascend to heaven in Tiantai Mountain thousands of years ago? How could he leave traces here?" Guo Xie asked in confusion.

Shao Jingheng shook his head: "Who knows?" After a little deliberation, he put the jade seal back in the box and put it in its original place, and turned to Mu Yunqi: "It's better for us to avoid trouble by borrowing the treasured land." Seeing that he agreed, he ordered: "Return everything in the cave to its original position, and don't touch it for no reason!"

Everyone takes command.But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the bad news: that Ganyou came to the cave!

Shao Jingheng thought anxiously: Even if there is a way out, the ice wall will not be pierced for a while, so the only way is... his eyes swept across the rows of icicles hanging to the ground like curtains, and he ordered: "Get rid of those icicles!" Look later, is there a way out?"

Everyone responded.Shaoqing heard: "There is a road here!"

Follow the sound, lean in through the narrow gap under the ice, and see an ice wall in front of you, which looks like a dead end, but in fact, there is still a gap between the ice and the wall for one person to walk sideways. A slightly smaller ice room can accommodate hiding.

All the people entered.After a while, the noise of people outside came.There is a wall, and the movement is clearly audible.

Shao Jingheng signaled the guards to explore quietly, hoping to find a way out, but they found nothing for a while, and everyone had to suppress Jiao Xu, secretly praying that you would not discover this secret place.

The voice of a person outside, speaking in Yuyu, ordered people to search carefully in the room.Not knowing what he was looking for, Shao Jingheng had no choice but to squeeze the hilt of his sword tightly and signaled everyone to be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

The movement outside the room was chaotic, but fortunately no one discovered the mystery behind the ice.After a long while, a human voice came, and the same You Yu said, saying that there was nothing to gain.Shao Jingheng's heart lightened.

"Didn't you say that this cave is where Li Tianshi practiced before becoming immortal? Why is there no elixir secret book?" The voice of the person who gave the order just now is speaking Chinese.

"The Seal of the Celestial Master is still there, which can prove that what Pindao said is true!" Another voice came to my ears strangely.

"Then why is there no elixir cheat book?" Asked again, the previous voice was full of anger.

"My lord Mingjian, it is well known that Li Tianshi made countless alchemy when he was alive. There are still several alchemy furnaces cast by the celestial master in the Xuanyin Temple of Tiantai Mountain, which is enough to prove the words of the poor!" After a pause, "It is rumored that the celestial master Lin Feisheng, but learned that his disciple brought a secret book of elixir to the world as a disaster, so he went down the mountain to arrest the evil disciples, and chased all the way to the north. However, there is no elixir stove here, so I came here in a poor way, maybe because the celestial master has reached the extreme level, there is no need to supplement it with elixir, and there is a lesson from the past, lest the elixir fairy prescription fall into the hands of the wicked and harm the world , before the Heavenly Master became immortal, he destroyed it himself." It is clear from the sound that this person is a Taoist priest!And he called the predecessors "big kings", so could it be that those people are relatives of the royal family of Youguo?

Mu Yunqi and Shao Jingheng looked at each other with similar meanings in their eyes.

"It's you who said that you want to get twice the result with half the effort, so you have to come here to find the fairy recipe left by Li Tianshi, and now you say that the fairy recipe has been destroyed. It's so inconsistent, could it be that you are playing tricks on me?" The person before was impatient.

"The poor Taoist dare not!" The Taoist was in a hurry, "Your Majesty tried the golden elixir presented by the poor Taoist before, and the king knows how effective the medicine is!"

Snorting, the person called "Great King" sneered: "However, the effect of this medicine lasts at most half an hour, and the same person should not take it more than three times. How can it be of great use?" After a while, "I Seeing that you are a quack sorcerer relying on golden elixir as a cover, using the name of Li Tianshi to bluff and deceive, it is no wonder that King Najia of the Southern Dynasty can't tolerate you!"

Shocked, Mu Yunqi turned his eyes and saw that the people beside him were also shocked, so he was convinced that he had heard correctly—that Taoist priest was actually the person who used to practice alchemy for King Jia and Gao Shi!

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!" After being humiliated by his words, the Taoist priest was finally annoyed: "The reason why the poor Taoist no longer wants to serve King Jia is because he thinks too much of himself and forcibly changes his fate against the sky, but he has no patience. , forcing us to do alchemy for him day and night, but we don’t know that the change of fate must be done at the right time, and if we forcefully reverse it, we will suffer backlash. , so we have to collect the elixirs and celestial prescriptions of the previous generations of masters and try them out! However, King Jia ignored this and only knew how to build a car behind closed doors.

"If you say that, it's because Xiao Wang is impatient?" "Great King" sneered, "You said earlier that if you want to get treasures, you must be sincere, so I listened to you coming in person. Is it my intention to get nothing like this? Not sincere enough?"

Seeing him messing around, the Taoist priest had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, the poor Taoist is only telling the truth. Your Majesty came here to show his sincerity. If you think about it, you may be able to move the immortals and give it to Baofang!" As a great king, he will do his best to help him ascend to the throne, how can he have two minds?"

Treasure!Mu Yunqi's forehead twitched: This place is only a hundred miles away from Qingmu City, and the Taoist keeps claiming that he is the "big king". ?If so, presumably he was unwilling to lose his power, so he broke the boat and wanted to refine the golden elixir and nourish the medicine, so that he could make a comeback? ... Sighing to himself, his brows and eyes showed embarrassment: These rebels really have ordinary thoughts-if they can't take it by force, they will go to evil ways!

Just as he was sighing, he heard Huo Lankun's surprised voice: "There is a treasure hidden in the ice!" The hostility reappeared: "It seems that the mystery is all in the ice! So, let's smash all these ice chairs and ice couches, and take a closer look. There is something hidden!"

"No!" The Taoist stopped him, but it was in vain—the sound of beating started, and the clang continued.

Mu Yunqi only felt a headache.

"What's the sound, so harsh?" Huo Lankun asked in surprise.

The beating sound stopped, and the screeching became louder and louder, like the reverberation of weapons clashing, but it was much harsher, and even the ears felt painful in the compartment.

"No, it's the sound of the sword!" The Taoist was terrified, "This sword has a spirit. The king ordered people to smash the cave of the Celestial Master, and he collided with a fairy!"

The words fell, and after a longer and piercing sharp sound than before, the sound of explosion was heard.

"Sword..." The Taoist screamed, "Your Majesty, don't—" The words that followed were lost in the din of the crowd.

Everyone in the back room looked at each other.Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard an extremely heavy sound coming from nearby—the sound of ice breaking and falling!

not good!Shao Jingheng's brows tightened, and when he turned around, he saw a person appearing in the narrow corridor!

"There's someone here!" The visitor yelled loudly, stumbling forward, waving his sword wildly—it seemed he couldn't help himself!From the sound, it can be deduced that this person should be Huo Lankun.

Shao Jingheng stepped forward to block Mu Yunqi, and the guards quickly drew their swords to fight.

Weird thing!Huo Lankun seemed to be staggering, and his sword was out of order, but he was invincible and unstoppable—all opponents would fall at the touch of a sword!

Could it be that he also took Dan?However, the medicine man he had seen before was not like this... Amidst doubts, more Youren rushed in, Shao Jingheng had to protect Mu Yunqi and backed away step by step, and was soon forced to the corner.

Guo Kai and Zeng Wuhua fought with Huo Lankun, but they avoided confronting Huo Lankun directly—by coincidence, they avoided the sword light and took him directly.This strategy worked in a short time: Guo Kai cut Huo Lankun's wrist with a sword, and the latter trembled, the sword dropped from his hand and flew forward!

Looking at the sword, Guo Kai didn't get the word "be careful", and he saw people and shadows intertwined there.

With a sound of "dang", the long sword fell to the ground.A few drops of bright red dripped onto the ice, which was shocking.

"Ah Qi!" Shao Jingheng exclaimed, and turned around to support the half-kneeling man.
