Kunlun is known as the "ancestor of mountains" and has been known as the "sacred mountain" since ancient times.
Legend has it that this is the place where immortals live, and the immortal is the Queen Mother of the West. In the "Biography of Emperor Mu" there is a legend that "Eight Horses of King Mu crossed Chishui and Kunlun Yaochi met the Queen Mother".
People always like to have fantasies and fictions about unknown things. But "the ice is frozen in the clouds and the flying birds cannot cross" is indeed the fact before Pang Fei.
Pang Fei, who was wearing a very thick fur, held up his knees with great difficulty, and awkwardly sat down on a protruding piece of frozen soil. He glanced forward a few times, his eyes pierced by the white snow and reflected sunlight. It has to be a little raw.
The endless snowy areas are endless; the towering snow-capped mountains border the sky.
Starting from Dafeichuan, crossing Qinghai Lake, and sneaking through dense forests for nearly a hundred miles, the journey was very smooth. But from the moment they set foot on the Kunlun Snow Mountain, Pang Fei and the five hundred snow sculpture army felt like they were in hell on earth.
Difficulty breathing, freezing temperatures, never-ending storms and unexpected avalanches are all ruthless killers lurking around you.
"Huh, huh..." Pang Fei lowered his head and panted hard, feeling a little dizzy and exhausted. There were drops of sweat dripping down his forehead, and he hurriedly wiped it away with his hand, fearing that the drop of sweat would fall between the collar of his neck and form a biting ice cone.
"Pang... General Pang!" A soldier from the Snow Eagle Army hobbled over, holding on to his saber, breathing heavily, "Zhou... Zhou Yuan can't survive!"
Pang Fei was startled and hurriedly got up.
A group of sergeants gathered together. Everyone was half-kneeling in the snow, raising their knees to form a "human bed" that was isolated from the snow. The sergeant of the Snow Eagle Army named Zhou Yuan was lying on his back on the bed, his eyes were looking straight at the sky, and his lips were moving mechanically.
Pang Fei squeezed in, held his hand, and put his ear to his mouth.
"Pang, General Pang, I can't do it anymore..." Zhou Yuan's throat sounded like a bellows, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words, "I'm useless, it's me who has held back my brothers, you should have done it long ago. Bury me and speed up."
"Nonsense! We are brothers who live and die together, and no one will abandon the other!" Pang Fei held his hand tightly, and Shen shouted, "Hold on! You will get better! Even if you have to carry it, we I will also carry you out of Kunlun Snow Mountain!"
"S-Stop!" Zhou Yuan suddenly became anxious, raised his head, widened his eyes, and breathed heavily, "I can't do it anymore, just leave me here!... Please, please confess to the young marshal on my behalf! I … I failed to complete the task, I quit midway!”
Pang Pang held his hand tightly, speechless, and gritted his teeth so hard that his bones sounded.
The circles under his eyes finally turned red.
This is already the fourth one today.
The surrounding snow sculpture soldiers shed tears silently.
"General Pang, before I die, I have something to ask you..." Zhou Yuan used his last bit of strength to turn his neck and glance around, and said, "Brothers, please, please go farther..."
The sergeants stood up silently, carefully placed Zhou Yuan on the snow, and walked away slowly.
"Ask!" Pang Fei put his ear to his mouth.
"Before leaving for the expedition, we heard some news that... the young marshal passed away... But, is this possible?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Pang Fei gritted his teeth tightly, and tears finally rolled down uncontrollably. Staring at Zhou Yuan's gradually losing color on his face and his distracted eyes, he really couldn't bear to deceive him anymore... So he nodded gently.
"Really, really?..." Zhou Yuan actually smiled, smiling very calmly and comfortably. He slowly closed his eyes, let go of his hand, dropped his neck, and murmured, "Zhou Yuan, after going underground, he can still continue to follow the young commander... "
"Zhou Yuan!!!"
…
The north wind howls like a knife.
Pang Fei gathered all the remaining 300 or so Snow Eagle Army sergeants together, climbed onto a high piece of frozen soil, breathed heavily for a while, and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Brothers!"
"exist!"
"Have you all heard some rumors that something happened to the young marshal?" Pang Fei said loudly.
Everyone was silent.
"Are you suspecting that this mission is meaningless and that we are dying in vain?"
"No!—" A neat and sonorous roar.
"Good answer!!!" Pang Fei roared at the top of his lungs, "We are the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty, the steel division brought out by the young marshal with all his efforts! - Military orders are military orders! Execute it, complete it, That’s our mission!”
"yes!-"
Pang Fei, who was dizzy, had to hold on to his saber and breathe for a while before he managed to regain consciousness. He pointed forward with a wave of his hand and said: "Over the snowy mountain, you will reach Golmud! - The Tubo people call it 'the top of the world'! That means it is insurmountable and invincible! - Brothers, Are you convinced?”
"Not convinced!!"
"Since we don't accept it, we have to let the Tubo people know that we, the Snow Sculpture Army under the Young Marshal, are omnipotent and invincible divine soldiers!! Since we don't accept it, today, we will surpass him and conquer him!"
"Conquer it!!—"
"Bang—"
Pang Fei drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at the high, snow-capped mountains, and shouted: "Take up the explosive bags of the fallen brothers, and don't let any of them fall - the whole army, advance to the top of the world!!!"
The top of the world, Kunlun Snow Mountain;
Immortals live there, but birds do not cross.
Today, we welcomed a group of iron-skeletal snow sculptures who vowed to break through the sky and conquer them!
…
Two hundred and sixty miles northwest of Dafeichuan, there is a grand canyon more than 40 miles long. It was like a mountain was split in half by a divine axe, with a passage several miles wide in the middle. Above the head, there are mountains towering into the mist.
This valley has a beautiful and fantastic name - Huanyue Valley.
Legend has it that every time it rains in summer, strange rainbows and clouds will appear in the valley. The clouds are steaming and colorful, just like a fairyland in the sky. Some people also say that they have seen the fairies of the Moon Palace dancing gracefully among the clouds, and the gods and Buddhas coming and going with the sound of fairy sounds.
Hence the name Huanyue Valley.
Qin Mubai stood on the top of the mountain on one side of Huanyue Valley, standing with his hands behind his hands facing the wind, his clothes fluttering, watching the sea of clouds rolling and listening to the howling wind.
It was indeed a fairyland-like scenery, but Qin Mubai's face was tense and his expression was cold and solemn, his eyebrows were slightly sunken and his eyes were solemn. It was not a leisurely and leisurely play mood at all.
At this time, an inconspicuous but very strong-footed boy in civilian clothes ran up the hillside behind him. When he was dozens of steps behind Qin Mubai, he slowed down and walked steadily until he reached out and bent his hand behind him. The waist said: "Master, I'm back."
Qin Mubai turned around and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Qin Shi. How is the situation going?"
Qin Shi didn't bother to wipe the sweat stains on his face, and gasped: "It's done! - Master Lu personally escorted seventy carts of Five-Finger Divine Thunder to Huanyue Valley. Because it was awarded by the young marshal. The Snow Sculpture Army's movement order has gone smoothly without anyone checking. We can get here by tomorrow night at the latest."
"Seventy cars, how many kilograms does it weigh?" Qin Mubai asked.
"About, more than 80,000 kilograms." Qin Shi said.
Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning, "Too little! It would have to be at least two hundred thousand kilograms to be enough for me."
Qin Shi looked troubled and said: "Master, this is all Tiegu's possessions. All the five-finger divine thunder accumulated over several years have been shipped, and there is not a penny left! After listening to my report, Master Lu I don't dare to neglect, knowing that the master is going to do something big, so he also brought along two hundred newly trained fire gods, all equipped with muskets, thunder bombs, and armor."
"Okay. He tried his best..." Qin Mubai nodded, took a few steps forward, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from Qin Shi's face.
Qin Shi looked panicked and flattered.
"Master... now, everyone thinks that you have..." Qin Shi whispered.
"Yes, I know." Qin Mubai nodded, turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the misty sea of clouds from a distance, and said, "This time, I really owe too much..."
"When the villain was passing through Lanzhou, he almost couldn't help but run into Lanzhou City and tell the three mistresses the truth..." Qin Shi said cautiously and timidly.
Qin Mubai's face couldn't help but twitch, and he didn't say a word.
"Master, I have something else to say..." Qin Shi was a little scared when he saw Qin Mubai was silent, but he still couldn't help it.
"You have been with me for several years from Xiangyang to Lanzhou. The total number of words you have said over the years is less than what I have said today." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Just tell me!"
"When the villain heard the news that the master had died of poison, he felt so sick that he almost pulled out a knife to wipe his neck and left with the master." Qin Shi said, choked up, "The villain was just picked up by the master casually. If this is the case for a dog slave, what will happen to the owner’s close relatives such as his mother, brothers, sisters, wife, and children?”
Qin Mubai's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes became blurred and deep. He let out a long breath and said, "Qin Shi, you actually want to scold me, don't you?"
"The villain dare not..."
"Scold me! Actually, I really hope someone can scold me in person!"
"I don't dare!!" Qin Shi knelt down in a hurry and knocked his head on the ground with a bang.
Qin Mubai walked a few steps and bent down, helped Qin Shi up, patted the dirt on his forehead and wiped away his sweat and tears, and said softly: "It's because I owe too much, so I don't It’s a choice. Do you understand?”
"The villain doesn't understand..."
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "It's just because you don't understand that I'm telling you. I don't know if there are really gods and Buddhas in this magical moon fairyland; if so, I don't know if my father has been there since he ascended to heaven. Become an immortal or a Buddha?”
"Young man... I seem to understand a little bit." Qin Shi opened his eyes and nodded, saying, "Master wants to avenge the old master!"
"Even so!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Okay, let's not say more. Let's go down the mountain and find a place to wait for Lu Youhai's motorcade. When the time comes, you can bring him to see me. Remember Stay and let him alone come to see you."
"Yes!... The little man goes first to clear the way for the master, so that he can prepare water and food!" After that, Qin Shi ran away.
"Wait, come back." Qin Mubai called.
"What other instructions does the master have?"
Qin Mubai took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Mother of Lanzhou, don't worry, I have made arrangements. The Wu Dong family and Princess Gaoyang are both pregnant, how dare I make a mistake?"
"That's good!" Qin Shi grinned happily, revealing two rows of big teeth. After laughing, he was stunned again and said in confusion: "This is a matter in the master's own family. Why did the master tell me about this dog slave?"
"You are not a dog slave, and don't call me master." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I tell you because you have regarded the Qin family as your own home and my relatives as your own relatives. In fact, you You have been a member of the Qin family since the day your surname was Qin. "
"Master, I'm going down the mountain first!..." Qin Shi shouted, turned around and ran away. As he ran, he wiped his face.
Qin Mubai looked at Qin Shi's thin back, sighed, and said to himself: "Qin Mubai, you owe more..."
