The moon hangs high in the sky,
Under the moonlight, three people and three horses were heading towards the westernmost direction.
The further west they went, the lower the temperature became. Yi Yami and Gu Beijian both changed into thicker clothes. As for A-Bian's clothes, Yi Yami also bought them for him, but A-Bian said he was not cold, so he did not wear them.
"A-Bian, are you really not cold? We are both wearing such warm clothes and still feel cold. Are you really not cold?" Yi Yami and the others stopped and built a bonfire to keep warm.
Yi Yami asked tentatively.
At first, Ah Bian wanted to say that he wasn't cold at all, but when he saw the two men looking at him in unison, he knew they were testing him. He smiled and said, "Oh, don't say that. I've been rushing around and felt very hot. Now that I'm sitting down, I feel cold. I'll put on some clothes right away."
A-Bian quickly put on his clothes.
Yi Yami and Gu Beijian looked at each other and understood that this man was abnormal. Others felt cold, but he was not. Instead, he put on clothes to avoid suspicion.
After several days and nights of travel, the three people finally arrived at Tianshen Mountain.
Several people stood at the foot of Tianshen Mountain, looking up at its height. "Where is the place you mentioned, A-Bian?" Yi Yami asked.
"It's on a cliff on this mountain." A-Bian pointed to a place that towered into the clouds.
"How can this golden house toad live in such a cold place? And live so high up?" Yiyami wondered.
Ah Bian didn't answer. After a moment's thought, he was afraid of being exposed, so he continued, "I don't know about that, but I think he's afraid that someone with ulterior motives might harm him, so he lives in such a remote and high place."
"Have you ever seen a toad in a golden house?" Gu Beijian asked.
"I haven't seen him. I just heard from my elders that there is a man here who calls himself the King of the Golden House. Rumor has it that he is the incarnation of a toad." A-Bian thought for a moment and replied.
"You've never seen it before, yet you dare to take us on such a long journey. You're quite brave." Gu Beijian looked at him thoughtfully and said.
"I just want to earn some hard work fee from you. I see you have been quite generous along the way. So even though this is just a legend, I believe that everything depends on human effort. It is better to find it than not to find it, right? Besides, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. You two will definitely not treat me unfairly." A-Bian smiled like a servile boy.
"Don't worry about this. As long as we find the Golden House Toad, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. Even if we don't, you have followed us so far, we will not treat you unfairly." Yiyami took out two silver notes of two hundred taels and handed them to him, and at the same time showed the rest of the silver notes in his arms.
A-Bian saw it, but turned a blind eye, as if he didn't like the money at all. He still accepted the two banknotes with a smile on his face.
The three people continued to climb up the snowy mountain along the unclear path.
The strong wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains makes it impossible to open your eyes.
Gu Beijian took the lead, going straight up against the wind, leaning on a thick piece of wood with one hand and holding Yi Yami with the other.
Yi Yami reached out to grab A-Bian.
Ah Bian waved his hand and said, "No need, just take care of yourselves. I'm used to it here. For me, this is all a piece of cake."
Yi Yami felt a little confused when she heard this.
The three continued walking.
After walking for a long time, the three people finally reached the top of the mountain.
Yi Yami looked everywhere but could not find any trace of the Golden House Toad.
"A-Bian, didn't you say that the toad in the golden house is right here? Why can't I see it?" Yi Yami was a little anxious.
"Maybe it's on the other side of the cliff. Isn't it said in the world that powerful people live in places that seem dangerous but are actually not safe at all?" A-Bian thought for a while and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yi Yami was about to go to the edge of the cliff to try and look for it, but Gu Beijian held her back and said, "You're confused. It's so dangerous over there, why are you going there?"
"As long as there is a little hope, we must go and look for him. I can't just watch the opportunity slip away in front of me. And in case he really lives under the cliff, we can go and ask him." Yiyami broke free from his hand.
Gu Beijian had no choice but to follow and protect Yi Yami from behind to prevent her from falling.
Ah Bian looked at the two people who were very close to the cliff, raised the corners of his mouth sinisterly, and quietly approached the two people.
"A-Bian, there is no one here, it's all foggy, and we can't see anything." Yi Yami was about to turn around and ask when he saw A-Bian wave his hand, and two people were knocked down by a powerful force.
"Ah!" Yiyami screamed.
Gu Beijian was ready to use the same trick again, he placed himself under Yi Yami and drew out his sword, intending to use the force of the sword stuck in the mountain to stop himself and Yi Yami.
Gu Beijian's sword was inserted into the mountain. Gu Beijian held Yi Yami in his arms, and the two of them slid in the air for a long time. The friction between the sword and the mountain produced sparks.
Finally it stopped.
Yi Yami held onto Gu Beijian's sleeve tightly and didn't dare to let go.
Two people were hanging in mid-air.
"Abei, I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed his words so easily. He was suspicious in the first place, but I still believed him." Yi Yami felt a little guilty. If she hadn't been in a hurry and forgot to consider the danger, these two people wouldn't have gotten into such a big mess now.
"I don't blame you. You're just worried out of your mind. It's okay. Let's see if there's any way to escape." Gu Beijian comforted softly. The veins on one of his hands were already bulging.
Seeing that he didn't scold her, Yiyami felt even more guilty. She thought about taking him into the small world, but the advantages and disadvantages of the small world were also obvious. Although she could hide for a while, she would still be in the same place when she came out. Although she could hide when she went in, she would still be in the same place when she came out. It would be strange if the two of them didn't fall into pieces.
"Hold on a little longer, I'll look for it." Yiyami tried to look down, not knowing if someone was secretly helping her. Then she saw a gust of wind blowing, and the clouds in the sky dissipated a little, revealing a small platform, which was just right for the two of them to land.
Yi Yami was delighted to see this, and Gu Beijian also saw it. He quickly drew his sword, hugged Yi Yami, and the two of them landed on the platform.
