He walked for another two days and a night, the wind and snow never stopping. Tu Yuhun's horse, which was overly tired from hunger and thirst, fell to the ground and died. He was also extremely tired and hungry, and was in danger of dying from the cold. He ate a few mouthfuls of snow, took the pack off the horse, and carried it on his back as he continued his trek through the snow, seeking a resting place. As he walked into the dark, he heard the howls of the wild wolves everywhere. The environment was extremely desolate and appalling.

Tu Yuhun could no longer walk. Lying in the snow, he thought: "Everyone says that there is no impossible path, could it be that I, Tu Yuhun, am going to die here?!" Angry, he ate a few mouthfuls of snow and began to trudge through the snow.

Suddenly, he saw a ray of light in the distance. Tu Yuhun was ecstatic, he stopped and looked towards the light. The light was obscured by the wind and snow. And he said to himself, "The eyes of the wolves are so bright in the night. I'm exhausted and can't go without looking. " His eyes were blurry. The light flickered and dimmed, but it did not move. Tu Yuhun rubbed his eyes, only then did he realize that it was a light, not a beast's eyes. He ran for the light again.

The place that was originally lit up was a temple, and within the temple lived two people who had escaped the snow and the wind, these two people were Jin Lian and Xue Lian from Tranquil East Mountain's temple. The two were young, dressed in Taoism and martial arts. They were riding camels and were stopped by the blizzard. Tu Yuhun walked in front of the temple towards the light. The temple was not big, and the mountain gate was closed. The snowstorm was about to engulf the mountain gate. He tried his best to knock on the door and shouted, "Master: save me!" He could not hold on any longer and fell head first into the snow.

When the two people in the hut heard that, Jin Lian said: "Master is back?" Snow Lotus replied: "If it was the master, why would he be called the door? It must be someone else. " Jin Lian said: "It's late now, we have to be careful that he is not a good person." Snow Lotus raised her sword and said, "Who cares who he is, let's go out and see." It was not a disaster, it was a disaster that couldn't be avoided. It's a bad guy. What are we afraid of him for? "

The two of them went out to take a look. The snow was about to engulf the door. Thanks to the door opening inwards, the two of them had to go out. The two of them pushed the snow aside and looked outside the mountain gate. Tu Yuhun had fallen on the snow. Jin Lian said: "He is wearing a general's uniform, and he is carrying a bag, it looks like he isn't a bad person. He must have walked in the snow, exhausted by the wind and snow. We need to save him. "

The two of them anxiously carried Tu Yuhun to the house and filled him up with ginger water. After a long while, Tu Yuhun finally woke up. Jin Lian and Xue Lian once again cooked a bowl of noodles for him. Tu Yuhun was tired and tired at the same time. After barely eating the noodles, he fell down on the ground and slept.

At dawn the next day, Tu Yuhun still had not woken up from his sleep. Jin Lian and Snow Lotus had finished cooking the noodles and woke him up. Tu Yuhun was extremely grateful to Jin Lian and Xue Lian. He told them his true identity and, as he ate the fried noodles, told them about his unfortunate encounters over the past few days.

Tu Yuhun then said: "Benefactor, what is the name of this temple? In the future, I will definitely pay you back with incense. " Jin Lian said: "We are not the masters of the temple. We are the families of the Temple of Tranquility in the Central Plains. We came back from the Green Mountains, and we were stopped by the wind and snow when we walked from the Mogao Cave to here. When we got here, there was no one in the temple, and we didn't know where the master had gone. "I saw that the sign of the temple said 'General's Temple'." Tu Yuhun just realized that the two of them were Chinese and thanked them politely again and again.

Jin Lian asked again, "General Hu, since you are from Great Yue State, you must be familiar with the changes in the current situation. What's the situation now? Has Zhu Yuanzhang broken through most of it? "

Tu Yuhun said, "It seems that the two of you have left the Central Plains a long time ago and you do not know anything. How did Zhu Yuanzhang break through most of it? "Now that he has fled north and south along the path of the Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has already proclaimed himself Emperor in Jinling and changed his country's name to the Great Ming Dynasty." The two were shocked when they heard this.

Snow Lotus sighed and said, "The sun, the moon, and the sky all change at the same time. How many years have you been through?" "The Yuan Dynasty is still here, it's already the spring of the Ming Dynasty." Jin Lian said: "As an outsider, what do you think about changing dynasties?"

Tu Yuhun said: "Since ancient times, all dynasties have had ups and downs, changing dynasties is the inevitable result of history. There was nothing to be surprised about. We are all descendants of the sun, and as civilians, we only hope that the country will flourish and the people will enjoy their work. Who becomes emperor is not so important to us. " Jin Lian and Xue Lian heard it and said, "General is right! All obedience to the will of heaven. We only look forward to the prosperity of our country and the prosperity of our people. "

Tu Yuhun checked his things, seeing that there were quite a few, he was secretly happy. He took out the Treasure Chest and said to the two of them: "This is the treasure 'International purple-white plate'. It was used for personal use and was very precious. I sent him back on my way to the desert. The late emperor had decreed that it was not allowed to leave Dajun ever. As he was walking, he remembered that he was carrying a treasure with him. He did not dare disobey the late emperor's decree, and, disregarding his personal safety, ordered me to return it to Dajun. When I arrived outside the Great Capital City, I saw that the Ming army was heavily guarded and unable to enter the city, so I had no choice but to bring it here. "

Jin Lian and Xue Lian both knew that the 'International purple-white plate' was an item that was used for personal use. It had a map of the borders and territories of the countries on it, and was a rare treasure that was hard to come by. The two of them immediately paid attention to this matter. Jin Lian asked: Where is the general bringing the treasure?

Tu Yuhun sighed, "I had originally planned to bring it back to its hometown, which is a bit more logical, but now I have come to this realization. I was almost killed. It was God's punishment for me. I shouldn't have taken it to the logos. Logical is the land of the nation, unworthy to hide this treasure. Could the two Taoists please bring the treasure back to the Central Plains for safekeeping and return it to the Great Plains? I went home alone to be a monk. Now, I was able to escape death thanks to the help of the two Taoists. I completely understand. "

Jin Lian laughed: "General, you don't have to think about what is called China. This kind of treasure should be stored in the Central Plains. " Tu Yuhun nodded: "With it on your body, it will be easy for you to be ambushed. The two Taoists must not divulge the truth to anyone. Once the truth was revealed, the officials of the martial arts world would surely be in an uproar. Your lives are in danger at any time. Be careful on your way back. I'll have to ask the two of you to protect this treasure. "

Snow Lotus laughed: "The general has been punished by the heavens for taking it to the public. We brought it back to the Central Plains in good faith. I think we'll be safe on the way. "

Tu Yuhun said: "I hope that both of you will return safely." Snow Lotus added: "Please don't go back to the Central Plains with us. When the time comes, you can keep the treasure for yourself. You started your cultivation there. "

Jin Lian also said: "General, please do not hesitate, come with us. "One more person means one more person's strength. The road will be safer."

Tu Yuhun said: "Returning to the Central Plains to cultivate in seclusion, that's what I want. I am afraid that no temple will accept me, a Mongolian official. "

Jin Lian said: "Looks like General still does not understand the situation in the Central Plains. Right now the Central Plains has already mixed with the other races, how can they be divided into different races? If the general is willing to return to the Central Plains, we will ensure that you stay hidden. "

Tu Yuhun was overjoyed: "Thank you for your help! Once the wind and snow have stopped outside, I will follow you two back to the Central Plains. " Jin Lian, Snow Lotus, was also very happy to hear this.

Strangely, ever since Tu Yuhun decided to return to the Central Plains, the wind and snow outside stopped, and the sun shined brightly, warming up the weather. The three of them went out and were very happy to see that the weather had improved. Jin Lian replied: "I don't know who is the owner of this temple, he hasn't come back yet. He must have been blocked by the wind and snow. He has a lot of noodles, so why don't we take him with us? "

Tu Yuhun said: "It's enough for us to live in its temple for nothing, let's not take his fried noodles for nothing. "I have some silver and I left some for him to buy." The three went back to the house to clear up the noodles, filled the gourd with water, then went to the woodshed behind the temple to bring out the camels. Then, they departed from the temple. Jin Lian and Xue Lian were riding the same camel. Tu Yuhun rode Jin Lian's camel.

Jin Lian said: "We will first go to Wen Jing Temple from here, and then borrow a camel from the temple, we will temporarily meet up for a day or two." The three of them spoke as they urged their mounts to go straight to Shu Le River.

Camels walk in the snow as they walk in the desert. The three of them walked for a day and a night, then crossed the Shu Le River and arrived at Wen Jing Temple. After staying in the temple for the whole night, Jin Lian borrowed a camel from the temple owner. The three of them rode on their camels and continued their journey. He couldn't walk for more than half a day, so he was on the road.

The three of them then ran towards the Central Plains. The three of them were hungry and thirsty, sleeping at dawn and suffering from the suffering caused by Yu Lu's food and drink. Through Jiuquan, Linze, Zhangye, Wuwei, Lanzhou, Dingxi, Longxi, Wushan and Tianshui … More than a hundred counties, prefectural counties, and villages took more than a month to reach Shaanxi Province. Jin Lian and Xue Lian planned to return to Shandong via Henan Province.

Today, the three of them had arrived at the foot of Taibai Mountains. He saw the peaks rise and fall before his eyes, towering and towering, causing him to tremble in fear. The three people stopped and looked around: they saw the pine trees and the cypress trees on the mountain, and the oak trees on the maple trees in the sky. The ravine was too deep to climb.

Tu Yuhun asked: What mountain is this? "So tall and heavy." Jin Lian said: "We have never walked on this road before, so we do not know the name of the mountain, nor do we know if the mountain is dangerous or not. As the saying goes, deep in the mountains, there will always be bandits. We have to be careful not to get into an accident. " Snow Lotus said, "I can see that this mountain is very dangerous. Let's go around it." Tu Yuhun said: "The mountain is covered with snow, and we are also not familiar with the roads inside the mountain. It's a good way to take a detour. " Thus, the three of them urged their mounts down the mountain path and began to walk around the mountain.

Besides, the Taibai Mountains were really hard to traverse on the mountain fields and roads. There was a group of bandits in the mountain, the leader of which was nicknamed the Golden Arms Mana King. This person's arm strength was above others, and his entire body was filled with martial arts. He was good at using an iron snake spear. The one or two thousand underlings under his command were all fierce and valiant. Other than them, there were still the military, numerous strategists, the eight Vajra [1], and the eighteen protectors. These people were all burly men with astonishing martial arts skills.

All eight of the Vajra were vicious, while the eighteen Protectors were savage. They built strong walls and luxurious palace of Mana King on the mountain, all of them had Lackey guarding the entrances to the mountain. In the Shaanxi Province, they were known as the tyrants, robbing homes, and no one dared to mess with them.

Tu Yuhun, Jin Lian and Xue Lian were walking on the road and were discovered by the underlings that came down to scout. The lackey immediately flew up the mountain to report, "King, there are two women and one man down the mountain. All three were mounted on camels, with swords at their sides, and dressed magnificently, and there must have been a great deal of gold and silver hidden in their packs. The two women were young and handsome; the man was dressed up and looked fierce. Let's go rob him! "
