Chapter 488: Strange Things, Strange Things

According to Yang Xianmao's instructions, Huang Ding distributed a sleigh carriage and a cart of supplies to the two masters and apprentices of Xuxuanzi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the Xuxuanzi was relieved and kept kowtowing to express his gratitude. Then he got into the sleigh in a panic, and saw that the Liao army did not mean to get out of the way, and looked at Yang Xianmao pleadingly again.

Yelu Xiuge had already heard their conversation, and he had seen that this old Taoist had been standing by without helpers, and he had already roughly guessed one or two of them, so he said to Yang Xianmao: "What are you doing with this kind of person? ”

Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "I have a good relationship with his senior brother, and I can't bear to let him see him die, let him go." ”

Brother Yelu Xiu nodded, with a wave of his hand, the Liao army got out of the way, and Xuxuanzi took his eldest disciple, thanked him a thousand times, and fled in a panic in a sleigh car.

Then, Yang Xianmao and the others also got on the sleigh car, and under the hug of three thousand elite soldiers driving countless sleigh cars, they went north.

During the march, Yelu Xiu Ge and Yang Xianmao took a large luxury sleigh and became good friends, forgetting that Yelu Xiu Ge was crushed by Yang Xianmao twice on the battlefield, and even almost lost one hand.

Yang Xianmao found in the conversation that Brother Yelu Hugh talked to him very naturally, and the feeling of awe and admiration came from the heart, not like pretending to be submissive on the surface, but secretly gritted his teeth and hated and wanted to take revenge, it seems that the Khitan people are really a grassland people, dare to love and hate, everything is written on his face, maybe he flattened him twice, which made him feel awe from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Xianmao asked curiously, "How does General Yelu know that I am here?"

Yelu Xiuge said: "To be honest, it happened that when the lord broke out of Yelu Xiyin's mansion with Wende, he rode a fiery red donkey, held Yang Liulang's dragon golden gun, and shot a phantom dummy. After we got the report, we learned that it was Lord Yang who arrived in the Liao Dynasty. When the queen was about to deploy to find the lord, she got the news of the Immortal Pill. So all the energy is put into that. We didn't know the Lord had come to this ice field. It just so happens that the last general is in charge of the defense of this line. Earlier, the soldiers of our army came to report that there were two groups of treasure hunters fighting each other. To tell you the truth, I originally thought that when you were both defeated, I would bring someone to clean up the mess, but the soldier said that there was a group of people who seemed to be those ministers of the former Wu Yue, and they were ready to deal with the Great Song Dynasty with us, so I thought that I couldn't let the ally suffer, although this ally was a little worse, so I brought the troops over to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was you, Lord Yang, who were fighting with them. When I found out from afar, I was very excited, and at the same time I saw the lord show his might, beating four of them by himself, and beating them to the ground. Later, after they changed their strategy, the battle was deadlocked, and I was worried that if the lord was not careful, I would not be able to afford to be guilty, so I threw out my scimitar and came out to meet me. ”

Yang Xianmao said to Brother Yelu Xiu: "How many people are there now who have come to the Arctic Cold Land to look for the Immortal Pill this time?

Yelu Hugo thought for a while and said: "Many people who came to hunt for treasure were killed by us on the road, and the people who had a relationship with us, we were still allowed to go, some were persuaded to go back, and some were heroes who insisted on going, and we were all allowed to go." Because the emperor and the empress said that the elixir of immortality is a spiritual creature born of heaven and earth, and only those who are destined to get it depend on who can get it in the end. If we kill all the other people who come to hunt for treasures, we are afraid that it will go against the principles of heaven, then I am afraid that we will not be able to get this magical elixir of immortality. Therefore, Lord Yang, you can participate in the treasure hunt, as for whether you can get it, it depends on your respective creation. ”

"Where is the elixir of immortality, how to find it, are there any clues?"

Brother Yelu Xiu smiled and said, "The news of this elixir of immortality is actually from your Great Song Dynasty. Above your Great Song Donghai, there is a person with the highest level of cultivation in history, called Venerable Ling Xiao. It is said that it is already the peak of the ninth level that we can't expect at all, and half a foot has already stepped into the realm of ascension, I heard that it seems that something went wrong when I ascended, otherwise I would have already ascended to immortal. The handwriting on his island seal said that under the ice of the Arctic Arctic Ice, the Elixir of Immortality would appear along with the waters of the River Styx, and of course everyone was convinced of this, so they all came. As for whether there is one, how it appeared, and how it was obtained, it is not known. Although it is unknowable, the idea is simple: it is better to believe it. It is precisely because of this that after discussing with the emperor, our emperor and empress felt that they should work together and let everyone come to find out if they could find this immortal pill. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded, thinking: It turns out that they are fighting this idea, so it seems that they must have thought about it and let everyone come to find it. No matter who finds it, it will be easier for them to take it from that person than it is to obtain the elixir of immortality from the bottom of the sea. That's why these treasure hunters are involved. So, if it sounds good, let everyone participate, and see who gets their own creation, but in fact, they have already made up their minds, first look at their own creation, and then look at their fists.

Therefore, if this is the case, even if this Immortal Pill is obtained by himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to leave calmly, of course, Yang Xianmao did not expect that this Immortal Pill, something that everyone dreams of, would fall into his hands. Therefore, he didn't bother to think about how to keep things after getting the Immortal Pill.

Besides, he still has doubts about whether this elixir exists.

Yang Xianmao asked again: "How many people have arrived in the cold land of the Arctic so far, can you tell me about it? I also have a mental preparation." ”

Jeruhhuge said, "There must be more than a hundred people, and with their attendants, about three or four hundred." But what I'm talking about are all famous people in the rivers and lakes, and those who are not famous and have no ability have been killed or thrown back. Many of the people who came were from your Great Song Dynasty, and they were all heroes. On the way, we intercepted and killed almost all of them, people who were not famous, they would only make trouble, and there was no possibility of getting the Immortal Pill, so I didn't want them to mix. ”

Yang Xianmao pretended to be surprised and said, "Your queen actually agreed that the people of the Great Song Dynasty would also participate in the treasure hunt, this is really big-hearted." ”

In fact, what Yang Xianmao thought in his heart was that Xiao Yanyan, the empress of the Liao Dynasty, asked the people of the Great Song Dynasty to come, but she was afraid that she also wanted to use the wisdom of the Great Song Dynasty heroes to find the Immortal Pill, and then snatch it from them, and at the same time, she could also wipe out these heroes of the Song Dynasty, take the opportunity to get rid of the civil forces of the Song Dynasty, and reduce the resistance to the future invasion of the Song Dynasty. It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Brother Yelu Xiu smiled and said meaningfully: "The queen said that this thing is a thing of heaven and earth, and only those who are destined to get it." Moreover, the person who spread the news was Venerable Ling Xiao, the highest-level cultivator in the history of your Great Song Dynasty. As a member of the Great Song Dynasty, the Grand Duke selflessly spread the news, if we don't let the people of the Song Dynasty participate in it, I'm afraid it will be against the principles of heaven. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded, a little curious, and asked again: "By the way, your Liao Dynasty can be said to have done its best to find the Immortal Pill this time, did the Song Dynasty and other places send troops to fight for it?"

"To tell the truth, we have come to the small work of your Great Song Dynasty that your Great Song Emperor does not believe in this matter, saying that this is just a rumor, it cannot be true, and there can be no elixir in the world. He also said that it is very likely that this news is the ghost of your Liao Dynasty. If you send an army thousands of miles to this extremely arctic cold land, you will fall into your calculations and lose your troops. Therefore, your Great Song did not send an army to come. Those who came were all high-rollers, and of course, there may be people sent by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to hunt for treasures under the cover of their identities as high-rollers. ”

"Did Japan and Goryeo send troops?"

"They didn't send them either, after all, they were too far apart, but they did send a lot of masters, and it seems that they are also determined to do this. According to the Queen's decree, we will expel or kill some of them who have no background, and most of the others will be released. After all, they are not hostile to us, there is no need to kill them all, just let them try to create according to heaven and earth. ”

Yang Xianmao hesitated for a moment, but still asked the news he wanted to know the most: "You have been on the plain for a long time, haven't you encountered anything strange? Xiao Gan's army led by him pursued us, but we captured them instead, because in addition to encountering a snowstorm on the road, they also encountered strange monsters, and ate all their sled dogs, and most of their soldiers were also eaten. We also encountered strange things on the way, our companions seemed to be sucked dry of yang energy, and their internal organs shriveled and dried up and died. At the same time, we also encountered that kind of monster and ate forty of our sled dogs. Have you ever encountered one?"

Speaking of this, Yelu Hugo nodded slowly, but there was a little smug on his face, and said: "I don't know what the reason is, although we have heard of such a strange thing, but we have not encountered it once. Except for Xiao Gan, none of the news from all walks of life were eaten by ghosts, including sled dogs. It seems that this weird monster has a good relationship with our Liao Dynasty, only eats you, not other treasure hunters of the Liao Dynasty, hahahaha. ”

Speaking of the back, Jeruxiu smiled a little proudly.

Yang Xianmao didn't laugh, he was pondering what Yelu Xiuge said in his heart. Judging from what Jeruxiugo said just now, he couldn't see that Jeruxiugo was exaggerated, as if what he said was true.

If it's true, that's weird. The Liao Dynasty should have sent the most people to the ice field. If you look at it from a probabilistic point of view, they should also be the most prone to encountering monsters. But why didn't they encounter it once? Not even a single dog was lost? Could it be that this monster was unleashed by their Liao Dynasty?
