The sky was gloomy. Large groups of lead-gray haze gathered together, as if they would fall at any time. The cold north wind whistled over the rolling mountains, bringing the chill of midwinter, like an invisible knife, cutting everyone's face. At this time when many wild animals curled up in caves and slept, a long team was heading towards the mountains. Zhang Yuan, who was walking in front, looked back. The team he was in was large in scale, with a total of more than a thousand people, composed of the Linhe branch of the Wrath Whale Gang, the Linhe Tiger Gang and the elite sent by the four major families. The purpose was to escort four celestial beings into Qianfeng Mountain to search for treasure! This sounded absurd. It was freezing cold, and it was close to the New Year. It was really incredible that so many people came to the strange Qianfeng Mountain to take risks. But when it came to celestial beings, all the unreasonable things became reasonable!
In the middle of the team, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly a sedan chair. This sedan chair is more than 13 feet high and nearly 9 feet wide. It has a carriage pavilion on top, and is surrounded by Ruyi dripping beads and brocade curtains. Four carved wooden pillars support the high round dome. There are soft couches, warm stoves, side cabinets and desks in the sedan chair. Everything is extremely luxurious. Because this sedan chair carried by 16 strong men is the seat of four celestial beings! There are a total of four celestial beings, two men and two women, who went into the mountains to search for treasures this time. They sat around the stove in fur robes, drinking and drinking tea, chatting and laughing, as if they were on a spring outing, full of relaxation and comfort. These celestial beings are all young, handsome men and beautiful women, each with their own temperament and style. It is very different from the guy who was beheaded. And behind this sedan chair, there are three bright yellow sedan chairs. Zhang Yuan knew that the three sedan chairs were occupied by the statue of the City God, the statue of the Dragon God, and a Qingyun Temple mage. As the main force to suppress the weirdness! "Speed up!" The urging voice from the front made Zhang Yuan retract his gaze and lower his head to continue on his way. At the forefront of the treasure hunting team were five warriors from the Battle Hall. They held machetes and worked hard to clear the grass and vines blocking the way, and forcibly opened up a passable mountain road. Crack! Crack! Trees fell down one by one and were immediately dragged aside. Including some rocks and blocks that blocked the road. When the warriors who opened the way became tired, new warriors immediately took over and continued to move forward. There was no road on Qianfeng Mountain originally, but now there is one.
Soon, it was Zhang Yuan's turn to go into battle. He silently waved the machete in his hand and took over the work of his fellow disciples. At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt some fragments falling on his head and body. A closer look revealed that it had just snowed! Damn it! At this time, he should have stayed at home, roasting fire and making tea, chatting with Xiangxiu, playing with Dahu, and enjoying the family life with his mother. Instead of cutting wood in this dangerous and cold mountain. Heavenly man! Zhang Yuan is his mother! However, the situation is stronger than the person, and he has to bow his head under the eaves. The head of the War Hall, Yue Wuji, told him. In order to settle the matter in Wuzhuang, the Wrathful Whale Headquarters spent a lot of effort, established connections, and came forward through the Heavenly Supervisory Department to give the Linhe Branch a chance to "make amends for the crime". Otherwise, the branch would have to lose at least two-digit heads before it could appease the anger of the Heavenly Man! But the Linhe Branch only got a chance. If the performance of protecting the Heavenly Man in the treasure hunt is not good this time, it will not be easily forgiven! For this reason, all the high-level officials of the Linhe Branch came out. Except for a few who stayed behind in Whale Castle, most of the hall masters, deputy hall masters, elders and guests participated in this operation. The snow fell for almost half an hour, and then turned into light snow falling all over the sky. But the pace of the team did not slow down at all. What surprised Zhang Yuan was that they had already gone deep into Qianfeng Mountain, farther than the team organized by the Chen family last time. But the weirdness entrenched in the mountain seemed to have disappeared. There was nothing unusual. Could it be that the weirdness was also afraid of the two statues and the Taoist temple master? Zhang Yuan could only guess this way. In fact, he hoped that the journey would be safe and sound, and that the heavenly man could find the so-called treasure as soon as possible, so that he could go home earlier. However, the light snow soon upgraded to heavy snow. Large groups of snowflakes were wrapped in the bone-chilling cold wind, repeatedly torturing everyone in the team. Zhang Yuan felt that everyone must be in the same mood as himself.
But under the strict order of the hall master above. No one dared to stop, and they continued to open the road in the wind and snow. Fortunately, several celestial beings could not stand it. Although the sedan chair they were riding was luxurious and the brocade curtains were all put down to block the wind. There was also a charcoal stove inside. But compared with a real house, the warmth effect was still much worse. Especially the cold wind that came in through the gaps in the curtains could still make people shiver! So these nobles ordered the treasure hunting team to camp and rest on the spot! Despite this, Zhang Yuan and others had a new hard work. Build a wooden house for the celestial beings to rest! Fortunately, the number of disciples sent by the Linhe Branch this time was enough. Everyone worked together and used the trees that had been cut down before to quickly build two wooden houses on the roadside. One room is for the heavenly beings to rest, and the other room is for two statues and the Taoist master. During this time, Zhang Yuan met this master. He was about forty years old, with a thin face and wearing a green robe. His face and temperament were quite immortal. Everyone respectfully called him "Master Mu", and the degree of respect for him was not much different from that of the heavenly beings. Zhang Yuan's understanding of the master was very limited. It is said that these practitioners practiced scriptures, fasting, spells, riding on stilts, exorcising evil spirits, suppressing evil spirits, eliminating disasters, praying and other skills. According to their realm, they were divided into Taoist children, Taoist priests, masters, great masters and heavenly masters. A Taoist master in a small place like Linhe County is definitely a great figure. Zhang Yuan could see that the heavenly master was not in a good mood. In fact, it was normal to think about it. After all, apart from the heavenly beings whose way of thinking was different from that of ordinary people, who would go to the mountains to suffer in such a cold day! The team of thousands of people rested for almost an hour before the wind and snow slowly subsided. So the four celestial beings remounted the sedan chair and ordered to continue to move forward. At this time, the snow on the ground was almost three inches deep! It was undoubtedly more difficult to walk ahead. But no one dared to raise objections, so they could only step on the snow and continue to open the way. Awooo~ Suddenly, the howling of wild wolves came from the depths of the forest. At first, there was only one sound, and then it was echoed from all directions, one louder than the other!
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. I am sure I will not be afraid if I am afraid. You must know that the treasure hunting team has gathered most of the warriors in the entire Linhe County, and there are also many fourth-level true qi masters in charge. Just wild wolves, no matter how many come, they will die. However, at this moment, Zhang Yuan felt a burning pain on the back of his left hand!
