Just as Yan Zhuo was thinking like this, a falcon flew out of the snow from Hanshan Mountain and swooped in front of Lei Jie like an arrow.
When Lei Jie saw the falcon, he suddenly woke up from his drunkenness. He carefully picked up the falcon and took out a small cylinder half the length of his little finger from the talons.
The top of the small cylinder has a cover. If you press your little finger on the bottom, the lid of the cylinder will pop open.
Lei Jie gently pinched the contents of the cylinder out with his two fingertips, and saw a row of small block letters written on a small piece of paper as thin as cicada wings.
——The leader has been infected with erysipelas and is in critical condition. He needs to return quickly.
When Lei Jie saw the row of words, he suddenly woke up from the remaining half of his drunkenness. He was covered in sweat, and the big beads of sweat, carrying the smell of alcohol, came from his forehead, the tip of his nose, his back, the palms of his hands, and the soles of his feet.
come out.
Yan Zhuo looked at Lei Jie's behavior and knew that he was using his internal strength to force out the alcohol smell in his body. He couldn't help but was shocked and said: "This Priest Lei Jie's internal strength is quite good. It seems that this Golden Summit Palace Demon-Conquering Palace is a must."
It’s really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.”
Lei Jie forced out the odor of alcohol from his body, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He unfolded the piece of paper in his hand, read it again, and then said to the brothers beside him: "The master has been infected by erysipelas, and his life is in danger. The real person
Let us return to the Golden Dome Palace quickly!"
All the Taoist priests in the Demon-Conquering Hall knew something was going on on the mountain when they saw the falcon. Now when they heard what Lei Jie said, they were horrified. They all stood up and waited for their senior brother's instructions.
"Junior brothers, don't be anxious. We have just had a drink and it's getting dark. At this time, the wind is blowing and the road is slippery when we go up the mountain. I am afraid that we will be buried in the mountain stream before we can get back to the temple (Taoist temple and Buddhist temple). So, I will pick a few first.
The skilled ones force the alcohol out of their bodies and go back to the mountain first, and the rest, together with Gang Leader Qiao, Brother Yan, and Brother Mu, will go up the mountain again at dawn tomorrow."
Lei Jie ordered like this, pointing his finger at three or four Taoist priests who were good at martial arts.
Hearing the sound, the three or four Taoist priests immediately activated their internal energy to purge the alcohol out of their bodies. As their internal energy was stimulated, a smell mixed with the aroma of wine and highland barley spread in the lobby.
Qiao Zhenyue looked at the anxious expressions of Lei Jie and a group of Jinding disciples. He smoothed his beard like steel needles with his big hands and said, "I'll go with you. I, Qiao, love taking risks most in my life. I'll tell you early."
I heard that the mountain road in Kunlun Holy Mountain is steep, and I must experience it today."
As he said this, he summoned up his inner energy like the wind, raised his sleeves and made a sound. In just three blinks of an eye, a column of water formed by the smell of wine rose up in the palms of his hands.
All the Jinding Taoist priests were shocked when they saw Qiao Zhenyue's move.
You must know that it is not easy to force out the alcohol odor in the body just by relying on the internal strength. It takes at least more than ten years of internal strength foundation to reach such a state, and it is not easy to control the internal energy and alcohol in the body like Qiao Zhenyue.
Qi is gathered and stimulated in both palms, which can be achieved not only through time and sweat, but also through talent and opportunity.
Qiao Zhenyue breathed out the alcohol, his eyes shone brighter, and his red cheeks gradually returned to a bronze color: "Let's go."
Lei Jie saw Qiao Zhenyue's magical skills and heard that his voice was as deep as a bell but full of energy. Although he sighed in his heart that his martial arts reputation was well-deserved, he still said: "Gang leader Qiao doesn't know something. It's not my brother who is hiding things in the temple.
But the Kunlun Pass is really steep during the day, let alone at night. If you are not careful, you will fall into the valley without leaving a trace of your body. The few of us going up the mountain are an emergency and helpless move. We hope that Gang Leader Qiao
Don’t be brave for a moment.”
When Qiao Zhenyue heard what Lei Jie said, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just said vaguely: "Oh, ah, that's it."
Seeing Qiao Zhenyue's appearance, Yan Zhuo said, "Taoist Master Lei, let's go with you. The wind on this mountain is so strong that we can't carry a torch. My brother Mu has the ability of night vision. Taoist Director Lei will lead the way. He can see
The road is the best." As he said this, he had already considered in his mind whether the erysipelas in Master Qingyang might be related to Baiyun Villa. They arrived at the Golden Summit Palace earlier than him, as well as the six big boxes.
What is in it? All these questions can only be understood after going to the Golden Summit Palace.
In the event that Baiyun Villa is causing trouble, we must make plans as early as possible so that Baiyun Villa cannot seize the opportunity. And even if Baiyun Villa is not causing trouble, it is true that Qingyang Master himself was poisoned by erysipelas after taking the elixir, so it would be better if he arrived as early as possible.
Intend.
Lei Jie heard that Mu Yunfeng had the ability to see at night, and he saw that his features were indeed extraordinary. He thought that it was dark and the road was far away, so he would feel more secure having such a person to guide him, so he nodded and agreed.
"I'll go to the store to borrow a hemp rope. Let's all hold on to the hemp rope so we won't get lost when we get to the mountain." Lei Jie said and walked towards the shopkeeper.
The Kunlun Pass passes eight hundred miles in wind and snow.
Although it is not as exaggerated as eight hundred miles from the store to the Golden Summit Palace, it is still a full sixty miles away, and these sixty miles are all mountain roads, snowy roads, dangerous roads, and night roads. This road is very difficult and dangerous.
Just imagine.
In the night, Lei Jie walked in front, behind him was Mu Yunfeng, and behind Mu Yunfeng were the disciples of Jinding Palace, Yan Zhuo, Qiao Zhenyue and a Jinding disciple guarding the end.
More than ten people lined up in a row, crawling like a slender earthworm on the dark ground.
At first, everyone was walking smoothly in the foothills. Although the long stone staircase was not wide, it could at least be called a road. Everyone went up the stone staircase. Although it was windy and snowy, the road was not difficult to walk.
It's just that my face has suffered a bit from the weather.
"Perhaps the wrinkles on Lei Jie Dao's face are caused by this." Yan Zhuo thought, his jade-like cheeks were also cracked and bleeding, and the intoxicating red was embedded in the pure white, just like that.
It looks like the jade is bleeding, which makes people feel pity for it.
Behind Yan Zhuo, Qiao Zhenyue's beard and hair were fluttering back in the wind, like a lion standing in the wind. Although he was also suffering from wind and frost, his bronze face was as unchanged as bronze.
The tip of the nose is as strong as iron, standing proudly in the wind and frost.
"Brother Yan, it's easy to walk here at the foot of the mountain. I just don't know what it will be like when you get to the hillside." Qiao Zhenyue said.
Yan Zhuo nodded and looked up at the hillside. The hillside was hidden in the night, revealing the vague outline of the dragon's back that was stained with ink, which made people look intimidating.
After passing the foothills, the stone stairs gradually become steeper.
The temperature on the mountain has also dropped sharply, and snow can be seen on both sides of the stone stairs.
A thin layer of ice formed on the stone surface that was more than half the width of a foot, shining with a light blue light under the moonlight.
"We are about to reach Shibalipan ahead. Everyone, please watch the road under your feet and be careful." Lei Jie shouted behind him.
Although his shout was spurred by internal force and was full of energy, it was blown to pieces by the mountain wind.
By the time they arrived at Yanzhuo, Qiao Zhenyue could only hear the four words of the last sentence: "Be careful."
"Taoist Master Lei seems to have said something?"
"I seemed to have heard it too. I was paying attention to something?"
Behind the two people, the Taoist priest said: "Ahead is the Shibali Pan. You two should pay attention to your steps. This Shibali Pan is winding and winding, leaning against a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other.
The stone stairs here are still more than half the width of a foot, while the stone stairs in Shibali Pan are only less than half the width of a foot. People can only walk on them with their feet. The road is slippery at night, so you two should be more careful."
As the man said this, Lei Jie had already stepped onto the first bend of the Shibali Pan. As everyone walked deeper and deeper, the slender earthworms lined up in a row had now turned into a winding line.
The knot is tightly knotted, and I can't figure out where to go from here to here.
Suddenly, a golden-top Taoist priest in front slipped and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Taoist priest behind him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed his collar and helped him up.
The Taoist priest was still in shock after being helped up. He looked at the bottomless valley cliff in front of him, breathing heavily, his eyes bulging, and he didn't blink for a long time.
"Lei Min, let's go quickly. It's okay."
The Taoist priest behind him urged, pushing Lei Min with his hand, and then Lei Min calmed down, lowered his head, and walked forward.
Going further up, the hillside becomes steeper and steeper. At the steepest point, you almost have to use your hands and feet to climb over it. The stone staircase that barely reaches half the sole of your foot seems to be even narrower. Everyone can only walk on tiptoe.
Pass.
"We're almost at the gate of hell, there's going to be a storm soon!"
When Lei Jie shouted these words, he was torn into pieces by the overwhelming wind and snow.
——The first critical hurdle of these eighteen games has finally come.
