Chapter 67: Jerodite
This desert is not as vast as Zhao Fei imagined, and soon reached the edge of the desert, where the majestic mountains standing tall in front of him stretch continuously, and the majestic glaciers and snow peaks are fantastic and magnificent.
"There's Green Ridge ahead, and I don't know if we'll have the life to make it over alive. "The costumed swordsman rode up a hill.
Zhao Fei followed, this is the plateau, there is a river in the distance, the scenery is beautiful, the green pastures at the foot of the mountain, the emaciated horses will become fat and strong after grazing here for ten days.
Isn't this the Pamir Plateau, where you may not see the vegetation and people for more than ten days, and the wilderness is everywhere you look, and enough food is a necessity.
Traveling towards the east, the pure world of thousands of ravines on the plateau is like a group of "time carvings", retaining the traces of vicissitudes and showing the eternal theme of natural life. In the lofty mountains of the plateau, a winding path circles dozens of bends, spiraling from low altitude to high altitude, and descending from high altitude to low altitude, as if traveling through time and space to a fairyland on earth.
This magical and mysterious plateau, Zhang Qian's horse team crossed it, Xuanzang's feet conquered it, and many Chinese and Western merchants, Tianzhu monks, and Mu Si Lin missionaries crossed it one after another.
It was getting late, and watching the sunset in the distance, it sprinkled a bright red in the air.
Zhao Fei and the costumed swordsman climbed a mountain peak, looking at the magnificent mountains, magnificent glaciers, fiery red conglomerates, and roaring rivers in the distance, like a picture scroll that has stood for thousands of years, engraved with the mark of the annual rings and the vicissitudes of life, exuding the luster of time, the simplicity of philosophy, and the eternity of history.
"Don't talk all the way, are you an outdoor explorer? This ancient costume of yours is really good, or are you the screenwriter of Hengdian?" Zhao Fei's words broke the embarrassment.
"Chang'an people, your words are very strange, I am from a small place and don't understand very well. The costumed swordsman dismounted, sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff and rested into the distance, his turban fluttering in the wind.
Looking at his back and the scenery in the distance, Zhao Fei thought of a name, Sunset Swordsman.
"My name is Zhao Fei, and I am a staff member of the rescue anchor program team of FOX Video Live Company. Zhao Fei also walked to the edge of the cliff.
"My name is Yelu Shi, and I am a wanted criminal of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liaotianzuo. As soon as the words fell, the costumed swordsman got up and drew his knife and put the knife on Zhao Fei's shoulder, "Chang'an people, are you going to take my head and take it to Yelu Yanxi to receive the reward?"
"Isn't it, you're Yelu Shi, the legendary Yelu Stone who conquered the Western Regions?"
"It's down there. ”
"Then I am the thirty-sixth son of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, Zhao Fei. ”
Yelushi's eyes suddenly widened, and he kicked Zhao Fei down.
"You're crazy, this could be S.D.'s Skycanopy Project, it's just a scene, an underground lab. It's all fake, wake up, it's not in Hengdian. Zhao Fei shouted at Yelushi.
Where could Yelushi listen, he raised his knife and slashed at Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei didn't have time to dodge, and instinctively raised his arms to protect him. But Yelushi's knife was always inaccurate, and it slashed at Zhao Fei's side every time.
"Do you have a demon spell?"
Yelushi didn't pay attention, Zhao Fei kicked Yelushi's calf, he immediately lost his center of gravity and retreated, they were all on the edge of the cliff, Yelushi stepped on the air and planted backwards.
Zhao Fei pounced and grabbed Yelushi's calf.
"Let it go! Yelu stone hung down in the air and shouted at Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei didn't care what he said, he dragged him up, and as soon as Yelushi came up, he punched Zhao Fei and hit him in the face.
"This punch is what you owe us, my life was saved by you, and I will definitely repay you for saving your life. After Ye Lushi finished speaking, he turned his back to Zhao Fei.
This punch was really sudden, Zhao Fei felt that he had gold stars in his eyes, this cautious person was really not suitable for jokes, and he was really ruthless.
"I'm joking with you, I'm not the prince of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, I'm just an ordinary person. Do you mean the maritime alliance between Song and Jin?"
"It's clearly collusion. ”
"You and Yun have always been the battleground of the Song Kingdom, and the root cause is the corruption within your Liao, and the Song just saw this opportunity. Okay, the Song Kingdom has been subduing you for hundreds of years, and the friendly policy has also cheapened you a lot. Now it's just that the two don't owe each other. ”
Jeresh turned around and was about to say something.
"Stop, I'm just an ordinary person, the things you heroes care about have nothing to do with me, I will never talk about this topic again......"
Before Zhao Fei could finish speaking, Yelushi drew his sword and walked over.
"I'll go, why did you start again, it's really time to take medicine!"
Zhao Fei hid to the side, but he didn't expect Yelushi to directly kill Zhao Fei's horse.
"Nervous, you couldn't cut me with a knife just now, and now you can take my horse out of anger. ”
"Do you think I have any other food? I will have to climb over the main peak of the green ridge in a while, and the horse will not be able to go up, so we will pull it up and use it as food for the next meal. ”
Yelushi had already started to make a fire, and Zhao Fei felt that what he said was quite reasonable, so they helped him divide the horse meat, but he took pity on the horse and turned it into a Chinese meal.
"The water can't be boiled here, and the horse meat can't be cooked, so let's make a living." Yelushi handed a half-baked piece of horse meat to Zhao Fei.
This Yelu Stone is really careful, I don't know when he has blindfolded his mount, and it is estimated that he will not let it see how humans eat its kind.
The Green Ridge is the most difficult and mysterious section of the ancient Silk Road. There is a local folk song: 123 snow covers the mountain, 456 rain showers, 789 just go, 10 winter wax moon begins, but Zhao Fei doesn't know what month it is here.
It was dark, and Yelushi decided to climb the main peak after dawn, it was too dangerous at night.
There were no tents, the wind was howling and mixed with snowflakes.
Yelushi's proposal to spend the night in the belly of the horse that had just been killed was really heavy, and Zhao Fei felt that he wanted to vomit all the time.
When the day finally dawned, the two of them divided the rest of the horse's meat, took it with them, and led the remaining horse over the main peak.
The environment is getting worse and worse, the road is mixed with ice and snow, the horse's hooves are constantly slipping, Zhao Fei and Yelushi are almost stiffly tugging on the reins, dragging the horse uphill.
It was almost at the top of the mountain, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, Zhao Fei felt that he couldn't hold the reins, the reins slipped away little by little, the horse's hooves suddenly slipped, the horse fell to the ground, the horse's legs kept kicking in the air, Zhao Fei pounced and grabbed the reins. The horse was too heavy, and he almost dragged Zhao Fei down the hillside and fell.
