The ice-free river is gurgling and steaming, and the clear water sparkles in the sunlight.
Bai Liming and Bao Leer galloped upstream along the shining river. After walking for a long time, they finally approached the distant mountains.
It was past noon, and the two of them had driven all the way. Some of them were tired of their horses, so they found a flat, raised rock on the river bank to rest for a while.

Baoleer was busy, first fetching a pot of water from the frozen river, building a stove with three stones, taking some dried cow dung, lighting it, and placing an iron pot for heating.
Then she took out the green brick tea from a cloth bag and crushed it carefully. After the water in the small iron pot boiled, she put the broken brick tea into it.
After boiling for about half a stick of incense, fresh milk and an appropriate amount of salt were added. When it boiled again, Baoler took out a bowl of brewed milk tea, blew the hot air carefully, and handed it to Baili Ming.
At this time, Bai Liming had just regained his strength. He had just been running all the way. His body was already a little overwhelmed, but he didn't want to appear weak in front of the girl, so he kept gritting his teeth and holding on.
He took the steaming milk tea and took a sip. The hot tea entered his throat and he immediately felt warm and his tired body was relieved.
Beihuang's milk tea has the fragrance of milk and a light salty taste. After swallowing it, there is a bit of bitterness like brick tea in your mouth.
At first, Bai Liming was still a little uncomfortable with drinking it, but after tasting it every day during this period, he gradually got used to the salty and bitter taste.
At this time, Baoler took out some beef jerky, milk skin, butter rolls, etc. to eat. This time, Bailiming, who had regained some strength, did not bother the girl anymore, but went over by himself, picked up a piece of beef jerky and exerted his strength.
The ground began to bite.
Seeing him feasting happily, Bao Leer raised a bright smile, his eyes as clear as blue waves, filled with a touch of warmth, and the curve of the corner of his mouth was as bright as a crescent moon, like a hibiscus emerging from the water, a flower blooming in the water.
Peach blossoms in the rain.
Bai Liming looked at that bright and warm smile and felt warm in his heart. He responded with a smile, then picked up a butter roll, soaked it in the warm milk tea, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Boler, what's so strange about the hot spring we're going to that you call it a holy place?"
Baoler wiped the food crumbs from the corner of his mouth and said:
"It is a magical lake. It is a sky lake on a high mountain. There are several springs in the center of the lake. The hot springs are gushing out like giant rolling dragons. Soaking in the lake water can cure injuries and some diseases. It is very magical, so
That’s why we call it a holy place.”
After taking a sip of milk tea, she continued:
"This is a gift from the Immortal Heaven. Therefore, no one or tribe is allowed to monopolize the Tianhu Holy Land. No grazing or settlement is allowed within a hundred miles. Each tribe only has three opportunities to enter the Holy Land every year. The Great Khan has the only chance to enter the mountain.
The passage is guarded by soldiers, and only those with accompanying tokens can enter."
"I see, the opportunity to enter the Holy Land is so precious, but it is unnecessary to use it on me. I will get better after a few more days of training in the camp. Let's not go."
Bai Liming felt very sorry. His life had been saved by this tribe, and now he had to use up his precious quota again, so he backed down.
Baoler shook his head firmly and said seriously:
"Brother Bai, my grandpa said that the injury you suffered went deep into your organs and meridians. If you don't cure it early, it will leave hidden diseases. The witch doctors in the tribe are simply helpless, so you must come to the Holy Land to cure it completely."
Seeing Bai Liming still hesitating, she grinned and said:
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Bai. Isn't it already approaching the end of the year? This quota for entering the mountain will expire if it is not used. Originally, I planned to transfer it to other tribes, but you happened to be injured, so I just used it up.
Yes, don’t refuse.”
Bailiming looked at the girl's pleading eyes and nodded in agreement. He solemnly said:
"A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Don't worry, Baoler, I will repay this kindness twice as much. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will do whatever it takes."
The girl pretended to be angry and said:
"Humph, what are you talking about? I don't want you to go through fire and water and face danger. I, I..."
The girl suddenly became shy and said hesitantly:
"As long as Brother Bai can always remember me and stay with me forever, that will be fine."
Her voice became quieter and softer, but Baili Ming heard it in her ears and remembered it in her heart.
After having lunch and resting for a while, the two got up and set off, arriving at the foot of Tianhu Mountain in less than two hours.
Baoler handed a pass token into the hands of a soldier dressed as a centurion. The man with a beard and a sinister face looked at the token carefully and then let the two of them into the mountain.
But the horses cannot enter the mountains and can only stay here.

The two of them had just walked a dozen steps when the centurion's rough voice came:
"Two little kids, I would like to remind you that you two are not allowed to engage in sexual activities when you arrive at Tianhu. You will be punished if you tarnish Tianhu."
After saying that, he burst out laughing with a bit of ridicule, and the soldiers next to him also burst into laughter and kept echoing.
Hearing this, Bai Liming and Bao Leerhong's cheeks turned red with shame and anger, and then their ears, necks, and even their hands turned red.
The two of them raised their heads and did not dare to reply. One blushed like a persimmon, and the other blushed like a bell pepper. They hesitated for a moment, then quickened their pace amidst the wanton laughter behind them, and fled the place as fast as they could fly.
The peak where Tianhu is located is not too high, only about four to five hundred feet. Compared with the Northern Mountains, the height of the peaks in the Yuxu Mountains is quite different.
Therefore, after the two arrived at Tianhu, the trace of the sun had not disappeared, and the afterglow of the setting sun allowed them to see the scenery of the holy land clearly.
Tianhu Lake has a radius of more than 20 miles and is like a bay of mirrors embedded in the peaks.
Ice peaks, blue sky, white clouds, sunset... are reflected in the lake water, painting a beautiful picture.
Looking up, there are several parallel springs in the center of the Tianhu Lake, gurgling white water upwards, like dragons surging in the lake, stirring up countless waves.

The two of them just looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them quietly, until the last ray of light disappeared and darkness enveloped the mountains, then they reluctantly looked back.
Baoler took a long breath, and then said softly:
"Brother Bai, let's find a place to camp. It's getting dark and you are inconvenient. I will lead you."
With that said, he took Bai Liming's hand and walked slowly towards a cliff.
Bailiming felt the warmth from the girl's soft palm, and his face felt slightly hot. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't bear the girl's sadness and felt that he was a little too dull, so he followed the girl to the edge of the cliff obediently.
There was a natural stone cave at the bottom of the cliff, about four to five feet long and two feet wide. There were three stone beds inside, as well as a simple stone stove and a stone table.
The interior was very clean, and it seemed that people often came to live here. Bailiming thought about it and figured it out. After all, there were many tribes in the grassland, and many herdsmen who came here for pilgrimage or medical treatment wanted to live here.
It's not cold inside the cave, and you can even feel the slightest heat coming from the ground. It seems to be due to the hot springs in the lake.
Bailiming watched Baoler skillfully start to light the fire and cook, and asked curiously:
"Boler, have you been here before?"
"No, it's my first time to come to Tianhu Holy Land, but my grandfather told me where to camp at night, so I was able to find this place."
Baoler responded while busy.
After dinner, the two took out the blankets they brought and spread them on the stone bed, then fell asleep in the dark night.
Suddenly, in his daze, Bailiming felt that he had reached the edge of the lake. He reached out and touched the warm water. He plunged into the water and swam towards the dark and deep bottom of the lake...
The dim lake water surrounded him, making it difficult for him to discern his direction. He swam aimlessly, as if he was looking for something.
Suddenly, a pair of blood-red pupils lit up in the dark front, and Baili Ming looked as small as a small fish in front of them.
Suddenly, those huge blood-colored eyes rushed towards him, and the blood-colored shadow completely submerged him...
