Shenlong Peak, located in the western part of the Helan Tianshan Mountains, is more than 7,400 meters above sea level. It is the main peak of Helan Mountain. "The mountain terrain is rugged, with steep peaks, rugged ice and snow, cliffs in the sky, thousands of feet high in the sky." Shenlong Peak is covered with snow all year round, with clouds and mist. On the other side of the mountain is the Guhe Mountain Pass, an important pass connecting the Han Empire and Western countries, which is an important pass to Guhe Mountain Pass.
Looking from the mountains, the entire Shenlong Peak is like an emperor wearing a white crown, proudly spreading to the mountains, overlooking the vast land, and the countless people traveling and passing by the ancient river mountain pass.
And this Shenlong Peak is like a natural barrier on the throat, blocking the ambitions of the alien race.
Although the emperor of this mountain has been silent, the occasional roar is a storm of storm and snow, and the mountains collapse and the earth breaks.
According to ancient legend, this Shenlong Peak was originally a holy peak in the hearts of aliens such as Xianbei and Xiongnu. Thousands of years ago, Taizu led a large army to fight westward. He passed by Guhekou and said the famous saying "Driving a long cart to break through the gap in Helan Mountain". At the ancient river mouth, he looked at the towering main peak of Helan Mountain from afar:
"This is the territory of China. The peak is the hero of the empire. How can it be named by the hands of a foreign race? Now I see this peak clouds and fog, like a divine dragon that cannot see its tail, so call it the divine dragon peak."
It was a coincidence. As soon as Taizu finished speaking, the main peak, which was surrounded by rain and mist all year round, suddenly clouds cleared and the fog dissipated. The sunlight pierced from the dark clouds, shining on the top of the peak, with golden light and extremely brilliant.
This emperor, who had been silent for tens of thousands of years, seemed extremely happy with the new name that Taizu gave it.
For a moment, everyone admired him, so Shenlong Peak had such a reputation! Taizu was interested in it and even gave it the "No. 1 Peak in the World".
Some people even rumored that the reason why Taizu favored Shenlong Peak was not only because of its dangerous terrain, but also because of its majestic scenery, but also because of its gods.
Rumor is that warriors who can climb this peak will unify the world!
Thousands of years passed by. Many Han and foreign warriors had wanted to conquer the towering Shenlong Peak to prove their glory. However, Shenlong Peak has high and dangerous roads. Although there are five main ridges, namely the West Ridge, the East Ridge, the Southwest Ridge, the Southeast Ridge and the North Ridge, the entire peak of Shenlong Peak is like a fish ridge.
But only the East Mountain and the Southeast Ridge are available for climbing. In addition, the Shenlong Peak Mountain is huge and steep, and it has snow all year round from the middle of the mountain. The climate is harsh, glaciers are everywhere, the light and dark cracks are unfathomable, cliffs are everywhere, and avalanches of canyons are often born. Many warriors have lost their lives before climbing the mountain.
Now, above this winding ridge, three slightly curved figures are walking on the snow.
These three figures are Lei Dongfeng, Li Yan and Jing Zhan. The dazzling sunlight shines on the white snow, and remains unchanged for thousands of years. At this moment, nearly three days have passed since the three left the canyon where Li Yan and his sister lived in seclusion.
"The snow lotus that is more than five hundred years old can only be found near the top of the mountain." Li Yan was playing with a snow lotus that was about a hundred years old in his hand, but this snow lotus was picked on the roadside just now.
Such a hundred-year-old snow lotus with undamaged and full body is sold at a high price of more than 10,000 gold coins in any medicine store in the empire, but it is worthless to Li Yan. After all, the pharmacological gap between the five hundred-year-old snow lotus and one hundred snow lotus cannot be made up by quantity.
Li Yan was about to throw the century-old snow lotus under his feet, but was snatched by Lei Dongfeng.
"Shocking waves, don't waste them. If this hundred-year-old snow lotus is not in Helan Mountain, it will be extremely rare. Please give it to me and I will go back and settle the bill." Lei Dongfeng smiled.
"Disclaimer?" Li Yan was stunned.
"Thunderhead is to be used to pay for Brother Lin Dao's fire scorpion's tent." Although Jing Zhan didn't see it with his own eyes, he had already learned from the self-boasting that Old Dao Lin sold the fire scorpion's body fluid for 50,000 gold coins, and he was also a white strip.
"In this way, I'll pick a few more plants." Li Yan also laughed.
Lei Dongfeng and the other two were lucky. Since they came out of the valley where Li Yan and his sister lived in seclusion, they have been going up the road. Although the mountain road is rugged and difficult, the climate has been mild and clear, and there is no wind and snow coming. In addition, Li Yan is very familiar with this mountain road, so the few people have not delayed the journey.
According to Li Yan, in previous years, the time when the end of the year was approaching was the season when snow fell in the Helan Mountains.
"In another day, you can reach the place where snow lotus grows for more than 500 years." Li Yan identified the direction and said.
"There are three days left, and the speed of going down the mountain should be faster than now," Li Yan added.
"Okay, let's speed up." Lei Dongfeng said.
"I also have to thank you for the tool provided by my elder brother, otherwise I won't be able to get here in more than two days." Li Yan kept coming to the snowboard under his feet and the snow pole in his hand.
Li Yan said this. A day ago, the three of them walked to a snowy place in the mountains. The snow melted and frozen all year round, forming a thick ice cap, which was extremely smooth. When Li Yan walked here in the past, he had a headache and often took a step back two steps, which was extremely delayed.
At this time, Lei Dongfeng took out the suggested snowshoes made before leaving. In fact, it is based on modern hiking shoes. In addition, the barbs that can grasp the ground are inlaid in front of the shoes. The serration was obtained by splitting the iron teeth used by Li Yan to jacket large beasts.
This saves at least more than a day of time, and saving time for a long time is equivalent to increasing the chances of Li Ruoxi's illness. Therefore, Li Yan now admires Lei Dongfeng.
"You don't have to be polite. I'm very happy to be able to do something for you, but this road is really hard to go, otherwise I would have arrived long ago." Lei Dongfeng said.
"What we are walking on is the West Ridge, which is not easy to climb, but there is no way. Our time is limited, otherwise we will take a detour to climb the East Ridge or the Southeast Ridge." Li Yan sighed.
"I heard that you can see the pass of Guhekou by standing above the main peak of Shenlong Peak. Is this a matter?" Lei Dongfeng asked.
"I haven't reached the peak, but this should be a rumor. I think there are peaks and mountains between the pass and the peak, and it is close to the foot of the mountain, so I should not be able to see it." Li Yan said.
"Oh..." Lei Dongfeng was a little disappointed. He wanted to taste the taste of "will be on the top of the mountain and overlooking all the mountains".
"Brother, Brother Jing, be careful. There is a wind vent ahead, and the wind is extremely strong, so be careful to deal with it." Li Yan reminded.
"It looks very calm?" Lei Dongfeng looked in the direction Li Yan pointed, but it was a bend at the corner of the mountain. It looked calm and had nothing special. The only difference was that there was no snow in the area of about a hundred square meters.
