I guard the world with the Lord of the Underworld

There is a hill of 100 meters in front of them. Their destination is behind this hill. The mountain is not very high, but if they want to get over, they can only climb the mountain.

Normally, such a hill would be nothing to worry about, but the snow was falling harder and harder, and everything in front of us was completely white, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

"Find a place to pitch a tent." Ye Chutang suggested.

"Okay." Hua Qingyao knew that now was not the time to climb the mountain. The snow was too heavy and the vision was unclear. It would be dark soon and climbing the mountain would be too dangerous. "We can wait until the snow stops tomorrow before setting off."

A few people quickly found a leeward place and set up the tent. The surrounding snow was cleared a little. The four of them got into the tent and brought heating items. The tent was quite warm.

As for food, they brought enough so they wouldn't go hungry.

Sitting in the tent, Shang Shixu listened to the sound of snow falling outside and asked Xiang Ye Chutang in a low voice, "Can the snow stop tomorrow?"

"It should be about the same." Ye Chutang said and replied with no expression.

"Why do you say it's going to snow?" Shang Shixu frowned, suddenly approached Ye Chutang, glanced at Hua Qingyao and Lin Xi who were sleeping peacefully in their sleeping bags, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be the artifact that knew we were going to find it? , so you are stopping us? Didn’t you say that the artifact has a spirit?"

After Shang Shixu finished speaking excitedly, he turned around and saw Ye Chutang looking at him with an expression that was half a smile but not a smile. His eyes were so weird that Shang Shixu couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Chutang shook his head and chuckled, "I found that you have a very rich imagination. Do you think the artifact is still spiritual after it has been lost for so long? Can it have such great power?"

"It really has such a powerful power, and it has long been discovered by the upper world and the underworld."

Ye Chutang's words made Shang Shixu stunned. Thinking about it, he asked, "What about this snow?"

"Perhaps, there is something nearby." Ye Chutang turned to look outside the tent, as if he could see something somewhere through the tent.

"What?" Shang Shixu became inexplicably nervous when he heard this.

"Don't you know that wherever there are treasures, there are always things to protect them?" Ye Chutang said with a smile.

Shang Shixuan was a little confused, "Didn't you say that the artifact has no spirituality?"

"Of course the artifact won't have such a strong spirituality, but you can't deny that there are other spirits who are attracted to the artifact, use the power of the artifact to practice, sense someone approaching the artifact, and then come out to stop it. Is there a problem?"

Ye Chutang's words made Shang Shixu choke, and he sighed: "If this happens, it will be even more difficult for us to get the artifact."

Ye Chutang chuckled carelessly, "There is no free lunch in the world."

Shang Shixu thought about it and said, "Yes, that makes sense." Why did Ge Hongjie know that there was an artifact here.

Of course, Ye Chutang understood that Shang Shixian had some spirits practicing with the help of artifacts, and other spirits might have discovered it and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but Ge Hongjie happened to know about it.

"Ge Hongjie was really thoughtful, and he was able to catch the spirit who knew the truth." Shang Shixu sighed, "It took a lot of effort to return to the head of the Ge family."

Ye Chutang smiled coldly, he really didn't like Ge Hongjie very much.

"Ge Hongjie is also very frustrated. He has clearly obtained the whereabouts of the artifact, but he has no way to find it, otherwise it will only make everyone think that he has other ambitions." As he spoke, Shang Shixu laughed.

Ge Hongjie was such an arrogant person. He clearly had a clue. It was information that even the head of the Ge family had not gotten. If he could get it out, he would definitely be famous.

It's a pity that the Ge family gave up because of their own fault, and even expelled themselves from the Celestial Master profession.

Bringing out the information at this time will only make people criticize and wonder if they have evil intentions and who they have colluded with. This is a stain that they cannot wash away. No wonder they only dare to find them in secret.

"In the end, Ge Hongjie just made wedding clothes for others." After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he said no more and got into his sleeping bag to sleep.

There was a night of wind and snow. Even in the leeward position, a lot of snow fell on the tent, making the tent a lot shorter.

Hua Qingyao got up later than usual, and the snow on the tent had already been cleared by Ye Chutang.

Hua Qingyu came out of the tent and looked up to see a sunny and windy day.

Take a breath, it's quite cool and refreshing.

"Wow, the snow is so thick." Lin Xi also followed out of the tent, stepped on the ground, and sank directly into it calf-deep.

"What an injustice. The snow is so thick." Hua Qingyao looked at the thick snow speechlessly. It had fallen so much in one night. It must have been a snow disaster.

"No, we won't bring the tent with us anymore," Shang Shixu said.

Although the tent is simple, it is still a tent after all. It is fine in normal weather, but the snow is too thick now, and it will be more burdensome to carry it.

Hua Qingyao made a quick decision, "Bring food and leave the tent here. We will travel lightly."

After Hua Qingyao finished speaking, the group quickly packed up, each with a small backpack. It was indeed much easier.

Lin Xi directly took branches from the nearby tree, one for each person, not only to test the path under their feet, but also to serve as a support point.

After getting ready, the four started climbing the mountain.

The snow was too thick, so the speed was not a little slower. Hua Qingyao looked up, calculated their speed, and said helplessly: "At our current speed, it will be afternoon to cross this mountain."

"Just arrive before nightfall, and we'll just find the artifact." Lin Xi said, "At worst, we'll stay there all night and come back tomorrow. There's a tent here, so it's convenient to go out."

Spending a night in the snow is very dangerous for ordinary people, but they should be fine.

What they have to worry about now is not knowing what will appear, which will delay their return trip.

The few of them said nothing and crawled slowly. Later, they walked quite quickly and arrived earlier than Hua Qingyao had planned, at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"That?" Lin Xi stood next to Hua Qingyao and looked forward.

Hua Qingyao took out the map and looked at it, "According to the map, it should be."

Such a desolate place has no human habitation and little vegetation, and has no development value. No one really pays attention to it. The internal map they obtained is only a general overview.

Many details were missing. For example, the hill they had just climbed was not marked on the map. Who would be fine to carefully describe and mark such a remote mountainous area.

Hua Qingyao was a little surprised when he looked at the red dot on the map and the basin in front of him.

"With such heavy snow, the basin is even more dangerous." Shang Shixue looked around and saw that there were high mountains nearby. If there was an avalanche, they would have to bury themselves inside. It would be too dangerous.

"The terrain, the thickness of the snow..." Hua Qingyao thought for a moment and realized that an avalanche was unlikely unless there was an accident, such as someone deliberately detonating those mountains.

"Have you brought enough talismans?" Hua Qingyao asked Shang Shixu. Even if there was an avalanche, they had brought enough protective talismans to support them in running out and not being buried in the snow.

"Enough." Shang Shixu replied.

"Okay, let's go." Hua Qingyao waved his hand and said.

The more wrong the situation is, the more it proves that there is an artifact there.

The four of them walked slowly towards the basin below. They happened to be standing on the slope going down. The slope was not steep, but the depth of the snow added a lot of obstacles.
