Luo Lie lit a cigarette, came to Arnold, and handed him one. Arnold took the cigarette, Luo Lie lit it for him, and smiled and said, "What are you thinking?"

Arnold took a sip of cigarettes hard, then spit out a cigarette ring in a casual manner, watching the cigarette ring slowly expanding in the air, and then said, "You still owe me seven hundred dollars!"

Luo Lie laughed: "I don't have money to give you now. When we finish this mission, I will settle the final payment for you immediately."

Arnold said: "Rescue the sparrow is not what we agreed on."

Luo Liedao: "Add another 300 yuan in the ocean!"

Arnold shook his head.

Luo Lie thought he thought it was too little: "How much do you want?"

Arnold said: "It doesn't matter. I am willing to come this time, so I don't have any money!"

Luo Lie looked at this guy who was addicted to alcohol and was gambled, as if he had only known him today.

Arnold said: "It was indeed for money at the beginning, but now I realized that I had already boarded your pirate ship, so my father is right. Business is business, you can't talk about feelings. Now... it's too late!" He put out the cigarette on the ground, took out his wine pot from his arms, unscrewed it and fed it two times.

Luo Lie said: "I have long seen that you are not a vulgar person!"

Arnold grinned, realizing that he was unknowingly trapped by Luo Lie's friendship.

Luo Lie patted his shoulder and walked towards Yan Tianxin. Yan Tianxin put three incense sticks in front of the statue of Yu Shen in the middle of the Yu Shen Temple. Luo Lie looked up at the statue built on the cliff. Although the carvings were not exquisite, Yu Shen's mighty and courage were still fully displayed.

Yan Tianxin said: "This Yu Shen Temple was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Everything here was made of local materials. At that time, a total of twenty-five stonemasons came. They worked in this place for ten years before they were completed."

Luo Lie nodded. The perseverance of the ancients was beyond imagination, and their perseverance was mostly based on faith. In the process of historical development, no one could ignore the power of faith. It is faith that supports mankind to constantly fight against nature, challenge power with one's own strength, and sacrifices his head and blood. In the hearts of many people, faith even surpasses the value of life. In order to maintain the faith he respects, he can do whatever it takes.

Yan Tianxin said: "It is said that the original intention of building this Yu Shen Temple in Litian Valley was not just to commemorate Yu Shen. During those years, rainy years and mountain torrents occurred frequently, and the people around Tianmai Mountain were deeply affected. Therefore, the Lord of Lianyun Village at that time chose this place where Dayu split the mountain and discharged floods, and prayed for Yu Shen's blessing, good weather and safeguarding the safety of the people in this area."

Luo Liedao: "Lianyun Village has existed since then?"

Yan Tianxin said: "Although Lianyun Village has always been unwilling tolerated by the imperial court, we have never done anything that harms the world. However, the world has not been stable from ancient times to the present. Even if you want to live quietly, it is a luxury."

Luo Lie whispered: "When you are in a chaotic world, who can enjoy happiness alone? You don't provoke others, but you can't guarantee that others won't provoke you. Maybe your existence has become an obstacle for others." If the blind man had provoked Ye Qinghong, he might have been alone in the small church in Huangpu, how could he be involved in this thrilling storm?

Yan Tianxin was also in deep thought. Lianyun Village had always pursued a sphere of influence without competing with the world and keeping his own sphere of influence. However, the facts proved that their idea was wrong. In Pale Mountain, Xiao Tianxing wanted to be the only one. Even if Lianyun Village had no intention of competing with him, Xiao Tianxing still tried every means to destroy Lianyun Village. However, the strong and cruel Xiao Tianxing did not laugh to the end. He wanted to use the birthday party to set up a game to eliminate his opponent, but he could not have expected that there was a problem inside the Langya Village. As time went by, the killing game gradually faded away. The person who really dominated this game was the two major warlords in Manchuria. They were secretly supporting their own strength and intending to swallow Pale Mountain first. Although Yan Tianxin escaped by chance, the crisis did not go far away after leaving Lingtian Castle. The assassination on Cross Slope was just the beginning.

She didn't know the current situation in Lianyun Village, and how many people she had betrayed her. This is the reason why she gave up going up the mountain head-on. Although this ancient road on the northern foot of the mountain is difficult, she is at ease after all.

Luo Liedao: "I wonder if Dayu has ever been here to control the water?"

Yan Tianxin looked at the statue and said, "He is here, why not ask him."

Luo Lie was amused by Yan Tianxin's unexpected humor. He remembered the Medusa statue outside and the Baroque style pillars, and expressed this question that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time.

Yan Tianxin said, "You read that statue is indeed Medusa. The person who designed this Yu Temple was from France. He was once a prisoner of Tsarist Russia. Later, he fled here and came to Lianyun Village to find his other half. So he settled down here and lived there for twenty years before leaving."

Luo Lie then understood why a statue of Medusa appeared. However, this stonemason from Europe had a bit of a bad taste. He actually carved a statue of Medusa in front of the Yu Temple. Isn’t it obvious that the bandits who bullied Lianyun Village?

Yan Tianxin said: "Although he left with his family, his descendants never broke off contact with Lianyun Village. In 1870, the French-Prussian War broke out. One of his sons came to us to take refuge in order to escape military service. He has lived to this day. You should understand why I understand English." In fact, she is also very fluent in French. She also learned some German with the teacher. Yan Tianxin has a superb talent in language.

Luo Lie nodded and thought to himself that Yan Tianxin gave an extremely reasonable explanation. It seems that her understanding of the West should come from the descendants of this French stonemason.

The wind outside was obviously increasing. Just when several people were beginning to worry, Shuanzi and Lu Weilin came back from outside. Shuanzi carried a large bundle of dry firewood, but Lu Weilin got nothing. Although he had outstanding marksmanship, in the middle of winter, prey rarely came out to move. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. No matter how good his marksmanship was, he could only come back empty-handedly.

Shuanzi quickly caught fire in the hall. He brought dry food with him. Although it was not much, it was enough for them to fill their stomachs tonight.

Yan Tianxin's ability to observe the clouds and know the sky was indeed amazing. Just after nine o'clock, a blizzard broke out outside. The blizzards were raging, ghosts cried and howled, the wind blew the valley, and the pine waves seemed to have the momentum of destroying and tearing everything apart. Even if he stood at the gate of the Yu Temple, he was already unable to stand by the wind. If he insisted on reaching the top of the ancient road at this time, he would be blown down the cliff one by one. No wonder Yan Tianxin, who was as eager to return, would stop and choose to rest.

The strong wind swept through the snowflakes and blew into the hall from the open temple gate. Five people gathered in the southwest corner of the hall. This was the most sheltering place. The corn was boiled and each person was divided into some. Arnold and Lu Weilin both remembered the sled dogs discarded on the Cross slope. How great it would be if they brought one.

Arnold drank half a pot of wine with corn, then hugged by the fire and fell asleep. As long as there was wine, he was not picky about the environment. Lu Weilin used the fire to wipe his gun, and he felt a lover of his weapons. His eyes were only full of gentleness when he stared at the pistol, at least much gentler than when he looked at women.

Shuanzi fell asleep wrapped in a coat and leaned against the wall. This day was the most tormenting for him. He experienced his father's death personally and was still immersed in deep pain.

Yan Tianxin said to Luo Lie: "Take a quick time and take a rest, there will be no problem here." People cannot survive in such a blizzard environment, and even wild beasts will not risk their moves. They can rest assured.

Luo Lie nodded, patted his shoulder and said, "I can lend you a shoulder."

Yan Tianxin glared at him, moved to the side, and instead distanced the distance between him and Luo Lie, wrapped himself in it with a blanket. When he turned around, a quiet smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Lu Weilin looked at Luo Lie through the bonfire, looking gloating.

Luo Lie punched him to demonstrate. Instead of being angry, Lu Weilin became happy, revealing her white and neat teeth. He whispered: "You go to bed, I'll watch!"
