Early the next morning, Mo Fei and a group of ten people accompanied Xia Shao on the mountain.
Although it was the job of porters, Mo Fei and his party did not neglect it. They got up earlier than Xia Shao in the morning, got out of the tent and went to the foot of the mountain to explore the mountain road. It was too dark last night to see clearly. Looking at it this morning, even this group of mercenaries who have been walking in the rain of bullets all year round knew that this mission was not easy.
This Kunlun Mountain is too steep.
These people are not afraid of ordinary deep mountains and old forests, even primitive forests. But what is in front of us is a snow-capped mountain with numerous ice peaks, as steep as a knife. Not to mention there are no natural roads. Even those seemingly gentle slopes are covered with white snow. No one knows what is buried under the white snow and whether there is murderous intent.
"I will send three good men in front to explore the road in a while, and the transporter will follow behind. You go last." After hearing that Xia Shao was going to the mountainside behind, he led others to study and came back to explain the arrangement. Let Xia Shao and the other three walk at the end. If there is an avalanche or other danger, they can go down the mountain faster. This is their duty to carry out this mission.
Xia Shao knew what Mo Fei was thinking, so he just smiled and saw her pointing to the right side of the mountain.
"It looks gentle over there, but I don't dare to go there. It's very likely to be an avalanche area. We go up the mountain from the left. Although the road is a bit steeper, there are many places where we can borrow strength. Don't worry, I will come when the time comes. Arrangement. I just want to tell you, don't talk during the march, try to reduce the range of movements, and all our communications will be conducted in sign language." Mo Fei glanced at the two people behind Xia Shao. She had seen Xia Shao's skills. I think the skills of the two people she brought along are not bad. Although they are employers, they are not the kind of employers who are delicate and elegant and only try to cause trouble for others. During the process of going up the mountain, Xia Shao and the other three seemed to be very cooperative. She just came to ask them if they knew sign language. If they didn't understand, she could teach them a few simple ones.
Xia Shao followed Mo Fei's direction and looked towards the right side of the mountain. His eyes paused for a moment in the deep golden aura and said with a smile: "That's indeed an avalanche area. It's probably two to three hundred meters thick and covers a wide area. We want to avoid it.”
Mofei was stunned and said, "What, you are familiar with the terrain here?"
Xia Shao didn't say anything clearly, but smiled enigmatically, "You forgot, I am a Feng Shui master. Fortune telling is what I am good at. So I will lead the way for a while, and you can send a few good hands to follow me. , mark the route to make it easier for you to go up the mountain in the future."
"Ah?" He was stunned for a long time this time, but he didn't react.
Not only her, but behind Xia Shao, Wen Ye also bulged his eyes and stared at his master with an expression that said, "You're ridiculous." Why didn't he know that Feng Shui masters still had this ability? It’s true that you can predict good and bad luck, but you can’t be so capable that you can even use it to explore paths, right
Yi Ni's expression wasn't much better either. Even if she was about to say something to stop her, Xia Shao turned around and stopped her with a look.
"This is not okay!" Mo Fei disagreed, "You are the employer, and your safety comes first."
"Since I am the employer, then listen to me. When I call you here, I will naturally ask as many of you to come as many as you want to go back." Xia Shao's tone softened, and she could not refuse, seeing that she still had something to say. , he took the lead and said, "I am not a reckless person, you should know this."
Could it be that there was a pause, and I didn’t know what to say now.
Xia Shao turned around and returned to the tent. The matter was obviously settled.
Mo Fei had no choice but to go back to discuss with his companions. Except for Maxim who rolled his eyes, everyone else was stunned. This was probably the weirdest mission they had carried out over the years. The employer leads the way and they follow? What is this thing called? The mercenaries also knew Xia Shao's name and her legendary stories, but no one believed her when she said she would use fortune telling to find her way up the mountain.
Although it was not necessary to climb the mountain this time, the peak in front of us was the highest peak in the West Kunlun Mountains. Even halfway up the mountain it was not that easy to climb, not to mention that the group still had to carry heavy loads. After the group sent Xia Shao and the others up the mountain to settle down, they had to return to the camp at the foot of the mountain the same day to camp in the camp and replenish their nutritional supplies for the next week. Therefore, time is still very tight to find the way up and down the mountain during the day.
Seeing that Xia Shao had made up her mind, she looked at the time and had to adjust her plan temporarily. She asked Maxim and two mountaineering experts to follow Xia Shao, and the others followed behind. She planned to switch people with Xia Shao immediately if she felt unreliable during the march.
Wen Ye and Yi Ni thought they were better than the mercenaries. They wanted to follow Xia Shao, but Xia Shao gave them a look that asked them to cooperate obediently. They had no choice but to frown and follow. head. Because they were walking at the end, the two of them were no less worried than Mo Fei and his party. They knew that Xia Shao was pregnant. She had been vomiting violently in the past few days, but she had not vomited since noon yesterday. It's not good for her health. Today she was walking ahead to explore the road again. If she stepped on the wrong foot, there would be no problem with her skills, but who could guarantee that there would be no fetal gas
But the worries of both parties did not happen, and the journey went very smoothly.
Xia Shao didn't walk fast, every step was steady. The mercenaries who followed behind didn't dare to breathe at first, and their hearts jumped into their throats every time they saw her take a step. However, after walking a few hundred meters, Maxim and others' fear turned into surprise. They were all experienced people and knew very well how many years the snow had accumulated on sacred mountains such as Kunlun Mountain. The thickness of the snow must be astonishing. But what was even more astonishing was that there was no place where Xia Shao walked. The snow is up to the knees, and the shallowest roads only have snow just above the insteps, and there are many shallow and solid roads like this.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not exploring possible paths. It is clear that not only can I walk, but I can walk easily! Even if you find a local guide, you may not be able to lead such a path!
The group of people who didn't believe it just at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but widen their eyes. Everyone had a question in their eyes. Is this really a path calculated by divination
However, Wen Ye and Yi Ni knew that this was impossible. Fortune telling could only predict whether the trip would be good or bad. How could it be possible if they wanted to ask questions one step at a time? Even people with high cultivation levels may have this ability, but Wen Ye has heard that the master's fate is very strange, and her good or bad luck has never been calculated. How could she use divination to find out the way
But strangely enough, this group of mercenaries did not forget about business. When Maxim saw from the front that the road led by Xia Shao was difficult to find, he immediately signed in sign language to ask the brothers following him to pay attention to the signposts. They would rely on this road to go up and down the mountain in the future.
The group of people followed Xia Shao up the mountain. When they reached the back of the mountain halfway up the mountain, it was already afternoon and it was almost evening. When the group looked at the flat place Xia Shao had chosen, only Wen Ye had time to wonder when she had noticed such a Feng Shui cave behind the mountain where the jade dragon came out of its cave. Mo Fei hurriedly used sign language to instruct everyone to set up tents.
Two tents were set up side by side, Xia Shao and Yi Ni lived in one, and Wen Ye squeezed into the same with the food. There is no signal on the mountain, so maybe I brought a radio and walkie-talkie with me when I came here, ready to be contacted in case of emergency. Although Xia Shao knew that if there was an emergency, it would be too late for them to rush down the mountain in time, but she didn't say anything and just accepted the idea with a smile.
"It's evening, is it safe for you to go down the mountain?" Xia Shao whispered in Mo Fei's ear.
Mo Fei said: "Don't worry, the time is earlier than I expected. The road signs on our road are all fluorescent sticks, and there are no weights. It will be no problem to travel at night as long as the wind and snow are not heavy. We will follow you when we get to the bottom of the mountain Say peace."
Xia Shao nodded and said nothing more, just asking Mo Fei and his party to quickly return the way they came. Kunlun Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero. If there is wind and snow at night, the visibility will be very low, and it will be dangerous to go down the mountain even if there are road signs. Could it be that he knew it was important, so he just said "take care" to Xia Shao and the others, and then returned immediately with the others.
When the group of people disappeared, Yi Ni came to Xia Shao's side and whispered: "Are you okay? If you want to vomit, don't hold it in. You haven't rested after walking all day, so you should go in and take a nap first. Today Rest, I will tell you to get up and meditate at sunrise tomorrow morning."
Xia Shao smiled and shook his head, caressing his lower abdomen with his hand, his eyes gentle but worried, "I don't know if Kunlun's spiritual energy is good, or if this kid is sensible, but he has never made trouble with me since he came to Kunlun Mountain. This way. It’s quite good…”
When she behaves badly, although she feels more uncomfortable, she still feels that the child is there. But now he was so good that he didn't move at all, so she started to worry.
Yi Ni's eyes lit up when she saw the worry in her eyes. She stared at Xia Shao's belly and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the spiritual energy on Kunlun Mountain. You said that during the three months you practiced on the mountain, this child was born. Will he be extremely talented?"
Xia Shao just smiled. She didn't think about whether her talent was good or bad. Ever since she knew that this child had come to live with her, she had been filled with hope that he would be safe. As long as you are safe and healthy, and you are upright and good in the future, what is the importance of talent? Come to think of it, her parents also have such expectations for her. They probably don't want her to have much future, even if there is no Huaxia Group, as long as she is safe and the family can be reunited for a long time.
In the world of parents, she could not truly understand it until she had a child.
and…
Xia Shao lowered her eyes, but Yi Ni did not see the coldness in her eyes after the tenderness.
Yi Ni didn't know, or it could be said that everyone didn't know that everyone thought her trip would last for three months. In fact, only she knew that she only gave herself two months in her heart.
Before leaving, she told Wuxian, her disciples, and even the company's seniors that she would not return until three months later. That's because she knows that if she can't hide it from her own people, she can't hide it from her enemies.
The capital is about to change. If everyone thinks it will take her three months to return, but she can appear in front of them in two months...will they see a good show then
When Xia Shao raised her eyes, the coldness in her eyes was gone. Let her see how much movement there is in the capital and what people are moving about it!
"No rest. We are not here to relax. Time is urgent. Even one more night is good. Let's get started. You don't have to worry too much about me. This trip is not an easy opportunity. You can seize it yourself." Xia Shao went back to the tent and drank. Drooling, she walked outside to the edge of the cliff, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and before entering trance, she said to the two people who were still standing beside her trying to persuade her, "Don't disturb me after I enter trance. I will get up when it's time to rest." of."
It's the seventh day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye, and celebrating the new year is like a war. Did you girls have fun during the holidays? My son, who spent the New Year in the South for the first time, said that the weather was so hot that it was the first time he spent a new year without snow. Because I didn’t know how hot it was outside, I wore a sweater and a windbreaker when I went out to pay New Year greetings. I was stared at by a group of girls wearing skirts while shopping... I was immediately struck by the temperature difference between the north and the south.
