Chapter Ninety-Three: All the Way West
"Grandpa" With a crisp cry, an old man fell to the ground weakly, struggling to get up for a while.
After Wei Dong heard the shout, he hurriedly came from behind, picked up the old man, stretched out his hands to stick to the old man's vest, and transported a burst of aura. After a while, the old man's face became rosy again.
"Thank you, Zhuangshi Wei. The old decay feels much better. The old man turned around and thanked Wei Dong vigorously.
Since that night, I have talked with His Majesty the Emperor straight to the point and heart-to-heart for a whole night. In the afternoon of the next day, Wei Dong bid farewell to the Ma father and daughter and the Jiang brothers, and headed to the west alone. The next day, Emperor Zhao Yun ordered a large mansion in the capital to be given to Wei Dong. Due to Wei Dong's going out to handle secret affairs, this house was temporarily managed by the Ma family. After receiving the order, Mr. Ma and Ma Yunlu also entered the residential courtyard for the first time to carry out a comprehensive renovation.
Time flies, and ten days have passed in a blink of an eye. Wei Dong was riding a big horse and galloping quickly over the wilderness, trying to enter the nearby county seat before sunset.
What he didn't expect was that he encountered a malicious incident of bullying and scoundrels.
A group of hundreds of people stopped in the middle of the main road. In front of them was an 'army' of scoundrels with more than a dozen armed gangsters, blocking everyone's path.
"Hand over your horses and mules and tents, or hehe, just wait to eat the guys." "A leading thug is loudly intimidating the crowd.
"Ergouzi, you brought them here, what are your intentions?" an old man stepped forward and grabbed a thug by the collar.
"you, old fellow, sneak away with the little girl, and don't tell me, I won't bring them, I'll drink the northwest wind!" The young man called Ergou pushed down the old man, and stepped forward and kicked him hard.
"Second uncle, don't beat grandpa, don't fight. A little girl of seven or eight years old ran up and hugged the thigh of the second dog with all her might.
"Hmph, Xiaolan, be good! Go with the second uncle, I will send you to Bicui Building later, and when you get there, you can eat and drink spicy food, and you don't have to starve or freeze anymore. The second dog kneaded the little girl's arm very obscenely and said softly.
"You brute, brute! I'll fight you. The old man suddenly got up and pointed at the second dog with a hammer.
The second dog couldn't dodge and was bumped into by the old man, so he stumbled, "Oh, you old immortal, you are tired!" The second dog rolled his eyes, pulled out the kitchen knife on his waist, and chopped it down on the old man's body.
Wei Dong rode a big horse, looked carefully behind, and saw that the old man was about to die under the knife of the unfilial beast, only to see Wei Dong lightly raise his right arm and pinch it in the air.
"Ahh Ergouzi's right arm hung down softly, and the kitchen knife also fell to the ground.
"Who dare to meddle with the affairs of the masters?" a gang of thugs shouted in annoyance.
"Friend, which way is it? I'm a black tiger from Yangping County, and I ask my friends to give me advice!" the gangster boss shouted loudly as he stared at Wei Dong who was riding on a big horse at the back of the team.
"Poof" Wei Dong smiled contemptuously, "Get out, you are limited to one cup of tea, all of them are rolled." ”
"Hey, you don't know how to lift, guys!" one of the gangsters around him encouraged the other gangsters to come forward and fight.
The crowd was pushed and shoved by the thugs, and they didn't dare to fight back. Wei Dong shook his head slightly. No matter where they go, they won't have a good life, because they're too cowardly. ’
Slowly raised his arm again, and snapped his fingers one after another, "Tick, tick, tick......" seven times, and heard seven screams of "Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah......". Seven thugs either had broken arms or broken leg bones, and they were all lying on the ground, screaming miserably.
"Boss, he, he, this man knows how to demons. The rest of the thugs ran back to Black Tiger's side.
The boss, the Black Tiger, with a black face, retreated, because he knew that this was a figure he couldn't afford to provoke. ". The black tiger roared, and without even saying a word from the scene, he threw down his wounded men and fled backwards alone.
The injured thugs, along with the two dogs, all supported each other and fled in embarrassment.
"Hmph!" Wei Dong snorted coldly, turned over and dismounted.
"Thank you, this strong man for your help. At this time, a thin man who was close to the age and was not confused stepped forward and bent down to thank Wei Dong.
"Oh, there's no need to be polite. May I ask you, a large group of people, where do you want to go?" Wei Dong couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Alas!" the man was probably the leader of this group, and when he heard Wei Dong's question, he first sighed heavily.
"Don't hide it from the strong man, we are all not far from here, the villagers of the same village, thinking of going to the Forbidden Demon Mountain Range to eat. I heard that the land there is fertile and the climate is pleasant, so it is not a problem to eat and clothe warmly. The leader saw that Wei Dong was strong, so he told the truth and didn't dare to hide anything.
"Oh, I think it's the same, but I've heard that although the Forbidden Demon Mountain Range is rich, it is also a place where demon beasts frequently haunt, so you ......" Wei Dong said halfway through his words, looking at the leader.
The middle-aged man listened to half of the words, and knew in his heart that Wei Dong was referring to their cowardice and fear, and suddenly his old face turned red, and he replied weakly, "One step at a time, it's better than starving to death or freezing here." ”
"My Majesty is still wise, how can your life be so poor?" Wei Dong was a little confused.
"This strong man, whether Your Majesty is wise or not, I don't know. All I know is that harsh government is fiercer than a tiger. The land here is barren, the farmland is scarce, and the harvest is even less, but there are a lot of taxes! After a year's hard work, all the taxes are not enough, where is there still surplus grain to satisfy the stomach?" the head man sighed and let out a cloudy breath, and his eyes were a little shy.
After hearing this, Wei Dong also looked up at the sky, speechless for a while. The two stood there for a while, and suddenly heard a wail, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Dong looked down at the place where the voice came from, and saw a little girl holding an old man sobbing, and everyone around him was also helping to beat her chest, or feed water, or comfort the little girl.
"Isn't this the old man just now!" Wei Dong squeezed through the crowd, walked to the old man's side, squatted down, and caught the pulse on the old man's wrist.
After a while, he got up and shook his head, "My body was overworked and weak, and I was angry just now, this is incurable!"
Everyone knew Wei Dong's ability, and when they saw that he would take the pulse, they all gave hope. But after a while, I saw him shaking his head and sighing, and everyone also sighed in their hearts, 'This old man's life is hard, this little girl's life is even more bitter!'
"Don't be stunned, take a hand and carry the old man to the shade of the tree over there, I have a way to save him." Wei Dong came to this sentence very abruptly.
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. Then three villagers picked up the old man, ran to the shade of the tree, and lay him on the trunk of the tree, half lying on the ground.
Then, Wei Dong dismissed everyone, including the little girl. The little girl was led by the leader, and she turned back step by step, reluctant to give up on her grandfather.
The old man was leaning against the trunk of the tree, and he was already dying, but he looked lovingly at the little girl who was drifting away.
Wei Dong saw that everyone was away from here, and as soon as he changed his hand, he took out two pills from the space on the first floor of the storage ring, which were the Sacred Pills of Solid Peiyuan. This elixir can only act on mortals, compared to the pill that Master Ma took at the beginning, the medicinal properties are not bad at all, but it is useless for the current Wei Dong. At this time, the heart is soft, but it is good to save people!
After not feeding the elixir, the old man fell into a deep sleep. Wei Dong saw that there was a flatbed mule cart in the team, so he asked someone to gently put the old man on the flatbed and cover it with some straw.
"I'm also going to the Forbidden Demon Mountain Range, just walking with you, and taking care of each other, this head man, can you?" Wei Dong bent down towards the head man.
"Ah, yes, then you're going to have to bother the strong man. The head man was pleasantly surprised.
So, Wei Dong joined the team and walked slowly towards the west together.
In only two days, the old man was able to walk on the ground, and everyone was impressed - a strong man, he was really a miracle doctor.
Although he was able to walk on the ground, he was still weak in the end, and this did not fall again, which caused everyone to panic again. After Wei Dong's daily spiritual energy input, the medicinal power of the elixir also quickly melted into the body, and the old man's condition gradually improved, and sometimes he could even carry his little granddaughter and walk dozens of steps. Everyone rejoiced.
The Forbidden Demon Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, the land is fertile, and the climate is indeed pleasant. It is the granary of the Great Qiang State. But it's also, a place where monsters and fierce beasts are rampant.
Although this mountain range is towering into the sky, to the west of it, there is no barrier to protect it, and it is completely open to the whole wilderness. It was a number of powerful demon beasts that climbed over the top of the mountain and came to the territory of the Qiang country, wreaking havoc.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain are generally soldiers and civilians, and they are very strong - the monsters attack for the soldiers, and the cultivation is for the people.
Of course, the Forbidden Demon Mountain Range, hence the name, is a mountain range that prohibits spells and natural skills. Most of the demon beasts that came to attack were fierce beasts with strong bodies. The militia and the officers and soldiers were able to deal with it. In order to make a living, in order to improve their lives, more and more poor households are coming here to take root.
These were all things that Emperor Zhao Yun talked about to Wei Dong that night. The reason why I want to talk about this in detail is because Wei Dong showed Emperor Zhao Yun the map of the ancient teleportation array stronghold. According to the scene painted on this map, Emperor Zhao Yun confirmed with certainty that it was in the Forbidden Demon Mountain Range.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and after discussion, the group decided to stay day and night - choose a shady place during the day, sleep in a tent, avoid the scorching sun, and the night is cooler and easier to walk.
On this day, the sun was unusually hot, and when I walked barefoot on the ground, there would be a scorching smell after a while, as if the soles of my feet were roasted.
They pitched their tents in a sparse bush and fell asleep. Wei Dong and the little girl were companions, lying under a big tree together, and gradually fell asleep.
In his sleep, Wei Dong seemed to see his mother again, snuggling in his mother's arms, so warm! Suddenly, a lot of blood flowed from his mother's body, Wei Dong hurriedly looked up, and saw that his mother's eyes were also bleeding, and her figure was gradually blurred.
"Ahh "Huh?" At this time, he saw that the little girl next to him was shrouded in a white light, flashing a little bit, and suddenly all of a sudden it all burrowed into the girl's body.
'This, what's going on?' Wei Dong was stunned in surprise.
