Chapter 597: Ancient Legends

Tenzin told Xiao Fan that Aza wanted to hold a grand welcome banquet for them, but Xiao Fan politely refused.

Outside the stockade, the blood-stained snow-capped mountains, the corpses are scattered, but in the stockade, there is a staggered mixture, wine and meat are fragrant, obviously inappropriate, and it is a blasphemy against the dead. Moreover, Xiao Fan knew very well that a quasi-primitive tribe like the Toba people had very limited food reserves for winter, and now that spring had just begun, after a winter of consumption, their food was even more tight. If it weren't for this, the clansmen would not have gone out hunting in the cold weather of spring, so that they were ambushed by the thousand-year-old snow demon.

Xiao Fan didn't want to consume the entire tribe's limited food reserves.

Seeing Xiao Fan's resolute attitude, Teng Zengji also felt that it was difficult to force it, so he relayed Xiao Fan's opinion to Aza. Although Aza felt that this was too neglectful to save his life, he could only give up and simply set up a banquet in his residence to entertain the guests.

The Toba tribe is different from the general nomadic people, does not migrate with the seasons, and has been established for many years, so the village is generally built with stone, not the common tents of the nomads. There was a thriving brazier in the stone house, warm and dry.

Guests and hosts sit around a brazier, sipping butter tea and listening to an old white-haired man recount an ancient legend about the Snow Demon. Dan Zengji served as the translator and explained to Xiao Fan and Ji Qingsha while listening. In fact, this ancient legend, even Tetanzengji listened carefully for the first time, and he had only listened to it very indifferently before, and he forgot about it after hearing it. I really never thought that I would actually see the snow demon face to face today, and I fought with it, and I almost lost my life.

After quietly listening to the old man's narration, Xiao Fan groaned slightly, turned his head to Teng Zengji and said, "Master Dorjee." Can you show me the weapons you enshrined in the ancestral temple? ”

According to the old man, these three weapons. It is left by the ancestors who fought against the thousand-year-old snow demon back then. One of the ancestors also left a last word, prophesied in the Hereafter. The thousand-year-old snow demon will be resurrected and re-emerge to plague the world, hoping that future generations can destroy the snow demon with the magic weapons left behind.

The snow demon has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is difficult to damage ordinary blades, and Danzhu has caused damage to the snow demon with two arrows in a row, and the weapon left by the ancestors really works.

Dan Duoji hurriedly took off the saber from his waist and handed it to Xiao Fan with both hands.

The long knife is still that dark and dull color. Xiao Fan felt the fluctuation of mana from it, it seems that this ancient weapon has been blessed by a master who knows magic. However, according to the inference of time, more than 1,000 years ago, the founding ancestor of plateau Buddhism had not yet been born, and these ancient weapons should not be blessed with the spells of plateau Buddhism. Perhaps, in that era, there were cultivators from the Central Plains. Fought the Snow Demon in the Snowy Lands.

After Xiao Fan carefully inspected the long knife, he handed it back to Tenza Gil.

"Touren, Mr. Xiao is here for Snow Lotus, we are in the village. Is there a thousand-year-old snow lotus? ”

Dan Zengji remembered Xiao Fan's intention to go far into the snowy mountains, and hurriedly said to Aza.

Aza was taken aback and said, "A thousand-year-old snow lotus? Dorjee. In our village, there is still some stock of snow lotus. But the year is more than 100 years at most, a thousand-year-old snow lotus. It's just too rare...... I've lived for so many years, and I haven't seen it. I only heard that many years ago, such a holy medicine was collected, and later it was dedicated to the high monks and masters of the Great Snow Mountain. ”

Tenzin looked at Xiao Fan, who shook his head slightly.

The violent aura contained in this flame spirit blade could not be removed by ordinary medicines. If the medicinal effect of the snow lotus is only one or two hundred years apart, then it can be combined with other medicinal relics. If it's too far away, it's useless.

Aza immediately said, "Mr. Xiao is the lifesaver of our entire clan, and I will send out all the most experienced herb pickers tomorrow...... No matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to find a thousand-year-old snow lotus for Mr. Xiao. ”

The expression was extremely determined.

After listening to Tenza Chinji's translation, Xiao Fan waved his hand and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the Aza head, the snow demon has not been eliminated yet, but he was injured and fled." At this time, it is too dangerous to send out the herb pickers. If this demon beast is not destroyed, it will always be a great threat to the nobles. We'll set off tomorrow and go deep into the snowy mountains to find this monster and destroy it! ”

The tone is calm, but there is no doubt about it.

Tenza Zengji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, it's too risky to go into the depths of the snow mountain to find demon beasts......"

In the depths of the Great Snow Mountain, there is the lair of the snow demon, and it is difficult for anyone to detect it, where it is hiding. At any moment, it can emerge from an unexpected place and give a fatal blow.

"Moreover, the snow-capped mountain is so big, where can I find this demon beast?"

Kampot also echoed Tenza Teng Tacket's claims.

Ji Qingsha said softly: "This demon beast has passed my thousand changing hands, and I have left some marks on it. Perhaps, we will be able to track it down. ”

In fact, what can really leave a tracking mark is the "Blood Descending Technique", this kind of tracking technique was consulted from the great masters of southern Jiangsu. Within a certain period of time, as long as the person who has been hit by the head drop is within a certain range, there is a high chance of being locked.

Xiao Fan smiled and said nothing.

Wujimen has a similar trick.

"Really? That would be great. ”

Tenza Ginji was surprised and delighted.

The conversation between them was constantly translated by Odo to the other Topa people present, and only he and Tenzin were the only ones who could speak both Topa and Chinese.

The white-haired old man suddenly said: "In the legend, the Snow Demon, like the Snow Lotus, is the spirit of the Snow Mountain, and where the Snow Demon lives all year round, there will definitely be a Snow Lotus." ”

Otto was taken aback and hurriedly translated the sentence.

Ji Qingsha couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "So, they are a symbiotic relationship? ”

Otto hurriedly said: "I don't know about this, what my uncle said is just a legend." ”

In some ancient myths and legends, near the elixir of heaven and earth, there are generally powerful creatures guarding them. The words of the old man Toba are in line with many myths and legends.

"Even if it is a legend, the legend of the Toba people should be the closest to the truth." Xiao Fan said affirmatively. He then took out the map that Zhuge Yinghui handed him from his pocket, handed it to the head of the Aza head, and asked, "Aza head, do any of you know this place on the map?" ”

Aza looked at the map, shook his head, and handed it to the white-haired old man who told the myths and legends. The white-haired old man was Azha's uncle and the oldest male clansman in the village, and he was recognized as the most experienced herb picker in the entire tribe, and he went in and out the most times in the depths of the Great Snow Mountain.

The white-haired old man took the map, looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, stroked his gray beard, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen this place...... Many years ago, on the top of Mount Luogong, I saw a towering mountain in the distance, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the peaks on this map......"

Xiao Fan hurriedly asked, "Luogong Mountain, where is that?" ”

Odo hurriedly replied: "The mountain is far, far away, still on the other side of the great glacier, even if we are the Toba tribe, only the most experienced and courageous herb collectors have been there. ”

Xiao Fan nodded and didn't say anything more. You have to wait until the matter of the thousand-year-old snow demon is solved before you can find the place drawn on the map.

At that moment, the plan was decided, and the feast was dispersed, and they rested separately.

Aza Tou cleaned up his bedroom and respectfully invited Mr. Xiao and Miss Ji to move in. Although Tenzin did not explicitly affirm their relationship, Aza could also deduce that ordinary friends could walk together like this. Even if they were ordinary friends before, running down in such a circle, I am afraid that the relationship will also change qualitatively.

Xiao Fan and Ji Qingsha did not object.

Although Xiao Fan was a little worried, since the violent qi of the Flame Spirit Blade corroded, Xiao Zhenren's concentration was not as good as before. Living in the same room with such a charming beauty is difficult to ensure that there will be no "accidents".

However, it turned out that Xiao Zhenren's worries were unnecessary, and the night was spent "peacefully". Even if Xiao Zhenren really can't hold it, Ji Qingsha is not such a girl who doesn't know the severity. is about to go deep into the snow mountain and chase down the thousand-year-old snow demon, at such a critical juncture, it is better to try to maintain a vigorous body.

Early the next morning, under the watchful eyes of all the Toba people, a group of five people left the village and marched to the depths of the snowy mountains.

Teng Tseng Ji is at the front, Xiao Fanji light yarn is in the center, and Danzhu and Kampot are behind. After all, Tenzeng Ji is a serious Toba person, and he has also gone deep into the snow-capped mountains to hunt and collect medicines, so he is most familiar with the situation in the snow-capped mountains. Xiao Fan is the strongest and responds in the middle.

Considering that Tenzin Ji had been outside for all these years and had not gone deep into the Great Snow Mountain for a long time, Aza wanted to send two of the strongest warriors in the clan to guide them, but Xiao Fan vetoed them.

This time, they are going to hunt down and kill the thousand-year-old snow demon, even if ordinary people are strong, it is completely a drag, and in the face of such a fierce beast, they have no power to parry. If it weren't for the fact that the Toba people had divine soldiers left over from their ancestors, even the three brothers of Dan Zengji, Xiao Fan would not agree to let them enter the mountain together. When the time comes, not only will they not be able to help, but Xiao Fan will have to be distracted to take care of them.

Soon, the five of them climbed the snowy slope behind the stockade and were out of sight.

In the snowy mountains in spring, the weather is endlessly changing, and soon it will snow with goose feathers, and the snowflakes will fall all over the sky, more than ten meters away, it will be blurry, and nothing can be seen clearly.

Tenza Chingi stopped and was about to discuss with Xiao Fan to find a leeward place to pitch a tent and avoid the heavy snowfall. Otherwise, in such a heavy snowstorm, it is easy to get lost. But I saw the figure around him flickering, Xiao Fan had already caught up from behind, and a snow-white tortoise shell appeared in his hand.

"Go over there!"

After a while, Xiao Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to the right, braved the wind and snow, and strode forward.

Xiao Fan's footsteps were very light, even on this fluffy snow, only shallow footprints were left.

Tenza Digi was secretly stunned. (To be continued......)
