After leaving Yumen Town, the group was almost completely immersed in ice and snow, and as the geographical location went further north, the snow on the ground became thicker, but fortunately, after walking for almost five days, they finally came to the northwestern part of Lingzhou, which is separated from Zhongzhou.

After leaving Wangchuan City, the mountains and rivers in the northern area of Lingzhou gradually decreased, and the terrain became more and more flat, even if there were occasional peaks, most of them were small hills.

Because it is a vast plain, when covered by ice and snow, it undoubtedly looks even more vast, as if you can't see the end at a glance, and there are no mountains and rivers to cover it, and the cold wind blowing in the harsh winter season is as sharp as a knife.

Today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month.

In the people's homes in the city, people who can be reunited have already gathered together and begun to prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve, so there are no pedestrians on the mountain roads, let alone in the ice and snow far from the people at the junction of the two states.

Xu Yan put away the hand-copied map in his hand, and then said to the senior brothers who were enjoying lunch next to him: "If we don't make a mistake, we are about to enter the territory of Zhongzhou, and the glacier in front of us should be the junction of the two states." ”

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Chen Qinghe said while chewing the hard beef jerky: "We traveled from the Lotus Sect to this place, it can really be described as trekking through mountains and rivers, we are waiting for it to be okay, and we have taken many shortcuts. ”

During the hurry, Chen Qinghe and the others would ask Xu Yan from time to time about the strange things that happened after they were separated from them, of course Xu Yan couldn't tell them anything new, so he selected some of the ambushes to inform them, but most of them were the things that happened during the time he was with Gu Xueqing, but just that, after Chen Qinghe and they listened, they still couldn't help but be angry about it, but fortunately, Xu Yan finally rushed to Wangchuan City smoothly and joined them.

Xu Yan replied with a smile: "It's just that at the beginning, I didn't expect those people to really dare to buy murder, so I wasn't vigilant enough, so I suffered some small losses, in fact, after leaving Wuyang Town, I didn't encounter any more dangers." ”

Seeing that Xu Yan deliberately used an understatement to describe the encounters he encountered along the way, Gu Xueqing, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but glance at him secretly.

Only she knew that in fact, those things were far more serious than what the other party was describing now, because as long as one of them was not careful, they would all fall from it. The most important thing is that although Xu Yan personally said that he had not encountered any danger since he left Wuyang Town, the turmoil in Sichuan City was still vivid, and those families were all over the world, so how could they not find out his traces?

A character who can swallow his own pain back in his stomach, but does not share it with others, and can always show the beautiful and positive side of everything to the people around him, such a character will inevitably seem a little too precocious for a teenager, but Gu Xueqing at this moment does not feel that there will be anything wrong when all this happens to Xu Yan.

She didn't expose the dangers that Xu Yan deliberately avoided to everyone present, but felt that she only had the inside story of all this, and felt a little complacent, although she didn't know why she was because of this

Kind of self-satisfaction.

After a brief lunch in the wind and snow, Xu Yan and his party stood up one after another, and then walked towards the river that symbolized the border between the two states.

There is no doubt that the surface of this river has been completely frozen, and a thick layer of ice has condensed.

The river flowing on the plain is not in a hurry, and the temperature in this harsh winter is really cold, so it is not surprising for Xu Yan and others to freeze on the river.

Xu Yan took out the dagger in the storage bag and tested its true thickness on the ice, and then found that he had put the whole dagger in it, and he had not been able to pierce the ice.

According to the length of the dagger, it is about five inches, so after Xu Yan's test, he can basically infer that the ice on the surface of the river is estimated to be about seven inches.

With such a thick layer of ice, ordinary people walking on it basically have no problem at all.

Xu Yan put away the dagger, stood up and said to the people beside him: "We can cross the river directly on the ice, but for the sake of safety, it is best to control the distance between people, after all, this river is more than ten zhang wide, so as not to get the ice in the middle of the river is a little thinner, but because there are too many people to tear the cracks, people accidentally fall down, although entering the water will not have any worries for our lives, but it will never be good to fall into the ice water." ”

After hearing Xu Yan's words, Chen Qinghe and the others all looked at each other and smiled, among which Liu Jieliang opened his mouth and replied: "Senior Brother Xu is really cautious in doing things, but according to what you said, let's go away one by one, anyway, there are only ten of us, it won't take much time, and let Senior Brother and I talk about things." ”

After the words fell, Liu Jieliang took the lead in stepping on the glacier, and then walked towards the opposite bank step by step.

After crossing this river, it is the territory of Zhongzhou, and Xu Yan and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw that he was so eager to take the lead.

A little after a while.

Liu Jieliang crossed the entire river unharmed, and there was no accident, he shouted at Xu Yan and the others: "This ice is thick and tight, don't say it's a person, it's someone driving by, it is estimated that there is no problem at all, you can cross the river with ease, but it is easy to slip under your feet when walking on the ice, you should control your steps, don't go too fast." ”

Hearing Liu Jieliang say this, Xu Yan and others, who had not yet crossed the river, all absorbed his suggestions.

After a cup of tea.

Except for Xu Yan and Bai Bing, who has never been popular with everyone, everyone has successfully crossed the river, Xu Yan said to her with a smile: "Hurry up and cross the river, for a while, you won't have to be snubbed by them anymore, hold on a little longer." ”

Bai Bing didn't feel that she was coldly treated by them along the way, after all, she was also proud, she just endured it and passed, but after being carefully comforted by Xu Yan at this moment, for some reason, the ice-like stubbornness in her heart suddenly loosened a little, and she wanted to shed tears.

Her eyes were red, and she hurriedly turned her head and took a breath as if she was angry, holding back the tears in her eyes, and then forced a smile and said, "Well, I know." ”

As she spoke, she stepped onto the ice and walked slowly towards the other side.

Chen Qinghe, who was on the other side of the river, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Xu Yan deliberately staying at the end to cross the river, although morally, he also couldn't tolerate Bai Bing walking with him, even

still has a strong hostility towards her, but if you put these aside, she is actually just a woman, and it is precisely because he knows these that he sincerely feels a trace of admiration for the gentleman Xu Yan shows at this moment. You must know that Xu Yan is the one who should hate her the most, but along the way, except for the latter who has always maintained a calm heart towards Bai Bing, they are all extremely cold to Bai Bing.

Seeing that Bai Bing had already walked to the middle of the river in the blink of an eye, Xu Yan no longer hesitated, and began to step onto the ice, and then found that as Liu Jieliang said before, when the cloth shoes on his feet stepped on the ice, it was really easy to slip.

However, this difficulty is not difficult for him, as long as he maintains a good walking speed and does not take too many steps, he will not fall in embarrassment.

Xu Yan walked to the opposite bank step by step, and when he reached the middle of the river, the white ice walking in front of him was only about a zhang away from the shore.

Xu Yan stepped on the surface of the river with his feet, and he could clearly feel that there was still water flowing slowly below the ice under his feet, but compared to these slight rhythms from the river itself, in front of his field of vision, there was an extremely magnificent scene, which seemed to be approaching madly in the direction of his moment.

It's like a field of snow and ice falling suddenly.

Rumble.

From distant to immediate in the blink of an eye.

And just a few breaths later, Xu Yan could clearly feel that there was an indescribably powerful aura that was firmly locked on his body.

From a distance, there was a sudden appearance of ice and snow in the sky, but when it was really close, I knew what the magnificent scenery that permeated the sky, and where would it be.

"It turned out to be a sword qi!"

Xu Yan muttered softly, but he felt that his body seemed to be completely imprisoned in place, unable to move, and then he watched as the sword qi that was even stronger than the one used by Yan Fu before he died, slashing straight at him.

Click!

On the mud wall, which was as thick as a rammed earth wall, there was an incredible crack.

And this crack came from the feet of Xu Yan standing at the moment.

Immediately afterward, as the breath in mid-air continued to press in, the endless sound of ice cracking resounded on the river surface within five miles on the left and right sides of Xu Yan.

Countless cracks as dense as spider webs spread on the thick ice surface, making the originally thick and stable ice surface instantly turn into a river of broken ice.

Bai Bing noticed that there were so many cracks under her feet, and she was already extremely close to the shore, so she wanted to rush to the shore quickly, but the speed of the cracks was too fast, and when she was almost the last foot away from the shore, she felt that she was still going to fall into the river.

But just as she was about to sink into the Luo River, a wide palm with great force on the bank of the river grabbed her arm and pulled her body back to the shore with one hand.

However, compared to Bai Bing, who only wet the cloth shoes on his feet in the end, Xu Yan, who was standing in the middle of the river, seemed to be standing on top of a trap that had been placed first, and then after the trap was opened, he fell into the extremely cold river water without accident.

Like a boulder, he suddenly sank to the bottom of the river.

But it didn't make any splashes.
