Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight: cocooning oneself (big chapter)(1/2)
"Huhu"
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes beat mercilessly on the cheeks of the Zhou Yi people.
Their hair and clothes were all covered with a layer of crystal snowflakes.
The further we go, the bigger the snowflakes get.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh," one person shuddered and asked Zhou Yi: "Brother Zhou Yi, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived at the post house yet?"
As soon as these words came out, the other four people began to shout that they couldn't stand it anymore.
"The temperature difference is too big. I'm afraid we may not be able to bear it if we leave again." One person shouted that something was wrong. This place was more severe than they thought.
The other man put his hands tightly into his sleeves and was shivering from the cold.
"Oh my god, if I had known it was so cold, I would have waited down at the No Return Inn. It's too cold."
"I feel like my feet are going numb. Why don't we go down? I think we won't be able to bear it if we keep going!"
"Otherwise, let's go down, I can't stand it anymore!"
The five people behind him began to retreat. For a moment, Zhou Yi's face was uncertain, and he was also complaining in his heart.
I thought it was only a three-mile journey. Normally when I walk around the back garden at home, it’s almost this distance.
Just think of exercising before meals.
But when I really went up, I realized that it was not the case at all.
The higher they go, the more difficult it becomes. Even with their strength, every step is difficult.
Especially the cold wind that blew from time to time, drifting over with a "whoosh" sound, it was like falling into an ice hell, and the six people of Zhou and Yi had to rely on their magic power to survive.
At this time, looking at the vast white mist ahead, there was no sign of the post house.
Zhou Yi was also very anxious.
But if you want them to go back... Zhou Yi looked a little guilty for a moment: "Sorry, we're afraid we won't be able to go back!"
"Can't go back!!"
The five people were startled and didn't understand why Zhou Yi said that.
I heard Zhou Yi helplessly say: "You five have never been to Youshan and don't know anything about it. Bugui Inn is a place for people to rest, but the name Bugui also means a warning."
It turns out that the name of the "No Return Inn" at the back is also to remind people that going forward is the point of no return.
Once in, you can't get out.
You can only go to the point of no return, come to the Huitou Forest, and get the Huitou Leaf in the Huitou Forest, otherwise you will not be able to get out.
Zhou Yi knew about this a long time ago, because not long ago, he and his father came to visit the owner of Youshan.
Although I haven't even met him in person, I know a lot of mysteries.
This is the most insidious part of his poisonous scheme.
After Ding Xiaoyi and others came in, it was difficult to get down the mountain.
Even if he struggled to climb to the post house, without the identity of a ghost official, they were not even qualified to enter. In the cold and snowy place, he might not be able to survive with his little strength.
When the time comes, Chai Rong should not bow to herself and ask for help.
By that time, I will have plenty of ways to deal with them and make them cry for father and mother.
However, Zhou Yi never expected that the distance of three miles would be so difficult to walk.
In fact, it's no wonder that he went to Youshan with his father last time and rode his father's ghost dragon carriage. The journey was naturally comfortable and peaceful.
Who would have known that the danger involved was so alarming.
After listening to Zhou Yi's words, the expressions of the five people behind him suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Don't think about it. When you set foot on the point of no return, you have to go all the way to the end. If you persevere, maybe take a few more steps and you'll be there!"
Zhou Yi saw that they were unhappy, so he comforted the five of them, patting his chest and saying:
"In this Youshan Fruit Fair, it is rumored that there are many kinds of strange and precious fruits. I will definitely share them with all the brothers. When the time comes, I will ask my father to refine a furnace of elixirs for you as compensation."
After hearing this, the expressions of the five people finally softened a lot. The key is that there is no way out now. No matter what, they can only bite the bullet and go up.
"We are walking so hard, I'm afraid kid..."
One person looked behind him with some worry, but Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong were nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Zhou Yi, if something happens..."
Some people are worried that this matter will get out of hand. After all, he is Chai Rong's cousin. If there is any accident, they will not be able to explain it.
Zhou Yi curled his lips and sneered at this: "What cousin? I think it's nonsense. He is obviously a living person. How can he be Chai Rong's cousin? It would be better if he is dead!"
At first, Zhou Yi didn't notice it, but when he got closer, he realized something was wrong.
He observed carefully along the way, and the more he looked, the more he felt that what his cousin said was clearly an excuse.
I'm afraid the relationship between the two is anything but normal.
So what if it gets too big? Chai Rong ignores me all the time, but is so affectionate to a living person. If it gets too big, Po Meng's face will be disgraced, so what does it have to do with me!
Zhou Yi was now full of complaints.
How wronged I have been.
At first, he was tolerant of Chai Rong. He thought she was a young girl, and she was just being deceived.
But now their situation is so bad. While Zhou Yi resents Ding Xiaoyi, his favorable impression of Chai Rong has also plummeted. He feels that this trouble is all caused by this trouble.
A group of people stepped forward.
After walking for who knows how long, Zhou Yi felt that his hands were almost frozen, and his ears and face were numb from the cold.
The people behind him did the same thing, and they intuitively felt that what was falling from the sky was not snowflakes, but knives.
The clothes on my body are not warm at all.
Even though they possess magical powers, it has no effect at all on the road of no return.
The snowflakes were falling, and each piece was like a heavy weight, weighing on them, making them almost unbearable, and they felt that if they continued to walk, they would lose their souls.
"Look!"
Suddenly Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he saw two lanterns flickering with phosphorus fire in the heavy snow ahead.
Take a closer look, isn't it the inn they are looking for?
For a moment, Zhou Yi and others were so happy that they could not wait to jump for joy and shout.
"Quick! Let's go in quickly, take a hot bath, have a banquet, and feel comfortable."
Zhou Yi waved his hand to encourage the five brothers behind him, asking them to speed up their pace.
I can already imagine in my heart that delicious food is just around the corner.
The visual inspection ahead was only about a kilometer, so the six people were encouraged and their steps naturally became more vigorous.
Even though every step they take makes their bodies feel like they are about to collapse, as long as they think that if they take a few more steps, they can take a comfortable hot bath, eat delicious food, and get rid of their fatigue, their hearts are filled with hope.
At this moment, a sound of mule bells suddenly came from behind them.
"Ding ding ding ding..."
The ringtone was getting closer and closer. Zhou Yi and the others were startled and turned their heads following the sound.
In the vast white mist, I saw the sound of bells, and suddenly a giant black horse jumped out of the white mist.
The giant horse's body is more than twice the size of an ordinary horse.
Not only that, the muscles all over the giant horse's body were obviously distributed in blocks. As they ran wildly on the snow, they could clearly feel that every muscle on it was full of explosive power.
"No, get out of the way!" Zhou Yi screamed, but he rushed to the side in a hurry.
Immediately, the biting cold snow poured into his body along the collar of his clothes. The biting coldness was comparable to the snowflakes in the ice hell, making his whole body feel as if he was going to freeze.
Before he could get up, he saw a giant horse galloping past behind him, rolling up huge waves of snow and pinning Zhou Yi heavily in the snow.
For a moment, Zhou Yi felt bad all over. He struggled to crawl out of the snowdrift, but he didn't want to feel something appear behind him as soon as he emerged from the snowdrift.
"Brother Zhou Yi, watch your back!!"
His ears were blocked by the snow, but when he saw the horrified expressions of the five people in the distance, he couldn't help but look back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, his head seemed to be hit by something. With a "bang!", Zhou Yi's vision went dark and his body fell into the snow.
I didn't know what happened until I fainted.
Fortunately, the other five people hurried over and someone took out a pill and stuffed it into Zhou Yi with a look of pain on his face.
After a few people flipped through the operation, Zhou Yi woke up in a daze and looked back at the inn.
Only then did he see a carriage running past, heading in the direction of the post house.
"Fuck, remember this account for me!"
After saying this, he hurried over with five people to see clearly who dared to hit him with a car. He would have to explain this matter to his father when he arrived tomorrow.
As a result, several people hurried over and rushed to the door of the post house to take a look.
Suddenly several people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
I saw the small door on the side of the carriage slowly opening, and the kid on the side had already moved the horse stool. However, the person who walked out of the door was actually Ding Xiaoyi!!
