Litian Valley is a natural rock crack and a natural wind vent. The wind here must be above level 10. If you are not careful, you will be blown down and smashed to pieces.

Yan Tianxin reminded everyone to be careful. The five of them supported each other and walked into the depression on the north side of the Ritian Valley under the strong wind. They entered the depression area and became two completely different worlds from the outside. The shrill cold wind was blocked by the thick rock layer. Although the strong wind outside was heard in his ears, he could not even feel a trace of wind here. Without the wind, he naturally felt much warmer. Luo Lie rubbed his face dried by the wind to promote blood circulation, restore the temperature of the skin, and gradually restored the lips that were numbed by the cold wind. The rest of the people were like him. Everyone remained silent, all because their lips were numb. At this time, no one wanted to waste their energy in vain, and even the amplitude of their breathing was weakened a lot, so as not to be discharged from the body with their breathing.

Luo Lie's beard was covered with ice, and it looked gray, as if it had turned into an old man. Arnold was not much better, and he hid in a sheltered place and sneezed one after another. When his mouth regained consciousness, he immediately began to complain: "This ghost weather is really tormenting." With the blind man not present, Arnold became the one who talked the most.

Yan Tianxin said, "This is not the worst time. When the wind is strong, people can't stand at the bottom of the valley." She sorted out her clothes, tied her cuffs and collars, and then urged her to set off as soon as possible and walk through the den, and a path appeared in front of her, saying it was a path, but in fact it was a stone steps dug on the cliff, which was zigzag. The angle of the stone steps was obviously seventy degrees, and the narrowest place was less than one foot. Luo Li and his men were all extremely brave, but when they saw this zigzag ladder dug on the cliff, their faces changed a little.

Lu Weilin, who was so murderous, felt a little numb at this moment, and subconsciously touched his head and said, "Are you sure we are going to climb up from here?"

Yan Tianxin said: "This ladder is also called Guijianchou. You should understand the meaning of it. If it goes well, we should be able to reach a rest place in two hours."

Arnold complained: "Didn't we say we'll rest at the bottom of the valley tonight?"

Yan Tianxin said, "Are you sure you want to rest here?" She looked up at the dim clouds: "The direction of the wind tonight should change. If the northwest wind blows in the second half of the night, then the cold wind will continue to pour into the place where we just sheltered. Perhaps none of the five of us can survive until tomorrow."

Luo Lie said: "That is to say, there is no choice anymore!"

Yan Tianxin looked at him, then smiled and tilted his head.

Luo Lie said: "Then let's go. I don't know when it will snow this day. There are still two and a half hours before 8 o'clock, so I can hold on!" He made an invitation gesture to Yan Tianxin: "Madam, please!" At the critical moment, he first expressed his agreement with Yan Tianxin's decision.

Yan Tianxin smiled, she nodded and walked towards the stone steps first. Yan Tianxin led the way in the front. After the puncture was broken, the five people continued to move upward along the steep stone steps. For the sake of safety, they had to choose their hands and feet and use them to climb on the steep stone steps. Although they looked bad, crawling like this can lower the center of gravity and minimize the wind resistance. The feeling of being on the ground was much more steadily than walking upright. Not long after climbing, night had already fallen. The stone steps were close to the inner cliff wall of the Ritian Valley, and the zigzag direction was in the direction of the steps. There was no extra platform for rest at the turning point, so they could only rest on the spot. At the beginning, there was nothing at all. As the height rose, everyone's physical strength and heart began to bear a harsh test.

Luo Lie followed Yan Tianxin closely. This angle allowed him to admire Yan Tianxin's figure freely. Of course, the bloated cotton coat wrapped Yan Tianxin's graceful figure tightly, and he could still appreciate her perky buttocks. Usually, he rarely had the opportunity to appreciate Yan Tianxin crawling in such a posture. Looking at Yan Tianxin in front of him, Luo Lie fully utilized his imagination. Luo Lie did not think that his thoughts were dirty, but instead thought it was a great way to divert attention, relax his mind and relieve stress. It helped him ignore the harsh environment in front of him and make the difficult itinerary interesting.

But the others did not have the mentality of Luo Lie. A scream suddenly came from behind, and everyone was shocked. Luo Lie looked back and saw that Lu Weilin accidentally stepped on a stone and happened to hit Arnold's forehead behind him. Arnold touched his forehead. Fortunately, his scalp was hard enough, and the buffering of the cotton hat was not broken.

Lu Weilin apologized: "Sorry, I'm unintentional!"

Arnold no longer had the strength to complain, waved his hand and signaled him to continue moving forward.

Yan Tianxin was a little tired. She lay on the steps for a while and whispered: "I'm really afraid that I will fall down."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm behind you."

Yan Tianxin said, "If I fall, don't worry about me, otherwise I will implicate you and fall together."

Luo Lie said: "That won't work. We have to leave the skin behind."

Yan Tianxin remembered the agreement between the two of them in the Tibetan Bing Cave, and her pretty face couldn't help but feel hot. It seemed that she didn't feel that cold. In fact, although the terrain here was dangerous, it was still incomparable to the danger they encountered in the Tibetan Bing Cave.

They were lucky. They had not encountered a blizzard during this period. They had arrived at the next location successfully at 7:30 pm. There was still a vertical distance of 200 meters from the top of Kaitian Peak. The stone steps were suddenly interrupted. With their current equipment, it was impossible to climb the vertical cliff above their heads. There was an inconspicuous gap in the place where the huge rocks overlapped in front. Yan Tianxin used a flashlight to illuminate the gap and passed through the gap.

Luo Lie followed Yan Tianxin's footsteps and drilled through the gap. When he passed through the gap, an unexpected scene appeared before his eyes. More than ten huge stone statues stood opposite each other, standing up to the sky and with different postures. Looking at the surrounding snow light, he saw these stone statues, including capturing dragons and tigers, bending bows to shoot the moon, and flapping their wings to fly. What surprised Luo Lie the most was that there was a statue of Medusa, full of small snakes, and human-faced snake gods. Luo Lie suddenly remembered Ma Boxuan's book.

In the notes, I saw the same portrait. Could it be that Ma Boxuan painted this place? He had been here before? Unfortunately, the sparrow was not around and could not verify it personally, nor could he compare the notes. These stone statues should be carved as mythical characters, but why did Western mythological characters appear here? The statue of Medusa seems so out of place, Luo Lie couldn't figure it out, there was a road covered with snow between the stone statues.

Luo Lie's first reaction was that this might be a cemetery. He had heard that there were many ancient Jin Dynasty tombs on Tianmai Mountain, but he never thought that there was a building of such a size hidden on the cliff of Kaitian Peak in Tianmai Mountain. This was a very strange choice. It was located on the shady side of the mountain. Although Luo Lie did not understand Feng Shui, the place in front of him was definitely not a Feng Shui treasure land.

Yan Tianxin walked past the group of stone statues. At the end was a temple carved on the cliff. The temple was completely made of mountain bodies and was built with rocks. The hall had no doors. There were eight stone pillars that were thickly clung under the huge Chinese-style eaves. The stone pillars were in a typical Baroque style. The arch of the black arch was like the big mouth of a giant beast, which was daunting, as if it was about to pounce on it and swallow all of them.

Yan Tianxin shone a flashlight on the plaque above the temple, with the three words Yu Shen Temple engraved on it.

Luo Liedao: "Is it a temple?" It is really weird that this Chinese and Western-style building appears in the deep mountains.

Yan Tianxin said angrily: "What do you think?" She then explained: "This is the only place where we can rest on our way to the top of the peak. I originally wanted to climb to the top of the peak overnight, but I saw that the wind would soon rise. For safety reasons, we should rest in the Yu Temple for a night before leaving."

Arnold heard that he could finally rest, and a stone in his heart finally landed on the ground. At least he didn't slander the climb on the cliff. He didn't use both hands and feet during the journey just now, and he was frightened every step, and he couldn't even relax for a moment. He felt exhausted.

Luo Lie heard that the Yu Temple was in front of him, and he couldn't help but move. He wondered if this Yu Temple had anything to do with the lost Yu Temple? How many people walked into the Yu Temple, the temple was also a vault structure. Such a structure helped to decompose the pressure above and was the most solid type of building. If this temple built against the mountain was not uncommon on the plain, it was built on cliffs and was built entirely by chiseling mountains. The energy and cost that he spent in those years would have been great.

Shuanzi went out to pick up dry firewood, while Lu Weilin picked up his gun and went out, so that in order to take care of each other, he could see if there was any possibility of finding prey.

Arnold sat down against the wall, rubbing his numb legs. He had never experienced such hardship in his life. He remembered that his original intention of following Luo Lie was just for a thousand oceans. If he knew that the journey was so hard, he would not have agreed at the beginning. If he had not followed Luo Lie to the Pale Mountain, he should have been drinking, gambling, and dreaming of death in Yingkou at this moment. But Arnold did not regret it. He realized that the days he had been in Yingkou were so ridiculous. Looking back at that time, he could recognize his loss and wasted time. After coming to Pale Mountain, although every moment was thrilling, Arnold rekindled his fighting spirit, as if he had returned to the days of fighting bloody battles in the European battlefield. His life seemed to be glowing again. Perhaps the meaning of his life existed for adventure.
