.

"So you came to me to be the wrongdoer, and let me bet on the heavens to win?" Kanshan knew that if no one won the bet, then the person who initiated the gamble would end up losing all alone. But if someone bets on the sky to win, then it will not be the initiator of Ghost Dance Jingyi who will be compensated at that time, but Kanshan.

"Hey, hey, Brother Kanshan, you see that you are so powerful, even if you lose at that time, just go out and fight a few spotted lions and carp tigers and come back is enough to compensate everyone. But look at me, how can my weak body stand the toss, right? So Brother Kanshan, how about you help my brother? "Indeed, although Ghost Dance Jingyi is the leader of the archers, he is very short and thin, and he is no match for the spotted lion and carp tiger.

At this moment, Kanshan was about to refuse, and Ghost Dance Liuyang suddenly came to them with a team of men and horses, in order to change guards and patrol. But when he saw that they were chatting hotly, he asked, "What are you talking about?" Speaking of which, I'm happy too! ”

"Young master!" Everyone bowed.

So, Kanshan told Ghost Dance Liuyang about Fang Cai's original story. Then, I heard the ghost dance Liuyang smile and said, "Okay, then count me in, and I'll bet on the sky to win." ”

"Young master, don't fall for the tricks of Jingyi." Kan Shan said anxiously: "There are more than 200 archers and swordsmen in our Ghost Dance Tribe, if you lose, young master, it will be a miserable loss, ten spotted lions and carp tigers are not enough!" ”

The spotted lion carp is a very ferocious beast in the arid desert, comparable in size to an adult camel. There are black and yellow markings on the body, such as carp scales; Like a lion but not a lion, like a tiger not a tiger; The meat is extremely delicious, full but not greasy, and it is a favorite food of the desert people. It's just that the spotted lion carp and tiger have been in groups for many years, ranging from dozens of small ones to hundreds of large ones, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Kanshan was very worried about the loss of the Ghost Dance Liuyang, after all, the number of ten spotted lions and carp tigers was not something that could be easily hunted. Even if the entire Ghost Dance tribe is dispatched, it may not be able to hunt this number. However, Ghost Dance Liuyang smiled and asked Kanshan, "Kanshan, why do you think I will definitely lose?" ”

"Young master, what kind of place is the desert? It is a sacred place belonging to the god of drought and desert water, and no one has set foot in it for so many years, but what is the result? Who came out alive? Kan Shan said the truth, and he also took this opportunity to change his words and comfort Ghost Dance Liuyang and said: "Young Master, we all know that you value Wentian very much, but he is only fourteen years old, how can a fourteen-year-old person come out of the desert field alive?" Although I can't speak well, you should know what I mean, young master! ”

Kanshan is a brother who grew up with Ghost Dance Liuyang from birth to death, so Ghost Dance Liuyang can understand the meaning of Kanshan's words. It's just that he didn't show it, but patted Kan Shan on the shoulder and smiled, then turned to look at Ghost Dance Jingyi and asked, "Jingyi, if I win accidentally, how much food do you have to pay me?" ”

"That's a lot!" Ghost Dance Jingyi said and took out a lion camel skin, handed it to Ghost Dance Liuyang, and said, "Young master, look, this is the food we gambled on. ”

"Wow, that's a lot! That's almost enough for the tribesmen to carry half the winter! Looking at the record on the lion camel skin, Ghost Dance Liuyang was surprised.

"Young master, are you sure you really want to win by asking the sky? Don't regret it? "The joy of the ghost dance Jingyi is hard to hide.

"What's there to regret about this? I'm up for it! Ghost Dance Liuyang didn't hesitate, because he didn't want to even give up asking the sky. Then, he turned his head to look at Kanshan and said, "Kanshan, what about you?" Are you betting on winning or losing? ”

"I'll win too!"

Kan Shan didn't have any hesitation, the reason why he won the bet was because he wanted to accompany him to hunt the spotted lion and carp tiger when the ghost dance Liuyang lost. Because there is a rule on the desert, that is, those who lose must rely on their own ability to pay off their debts, and no one can intervene to help. This is the price of gambling, if people who have no ability have to gamble, then it is tantamount to suicide.

"Good! Then we'll leave for the desert this evening! ”

The desert evening was golden and beautiful. After the sunset in the west, Ghost Dance Liuyang set off on horseback with more than a dozen people; Tassels are also among them. Although she is a daughter's family, she is very skilled in riding a desert horse, and she does not need to be taken care of by Ghost Dance Liuyang and others.

Soon, at noon the next day, on the edge of the desert, the sun shone on the top, and the sand wind howled. The group stood on the desert hill and stared at the stone forest, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very heavy. Especially the ghost dance and tassels, the whole person became tense, and they were all looking forward to the appearance of Wentian.

"Come back, young master, we have been waiting for an hour, and it is impossible for him to come out of it alive." The Oni Dance Sutra shattered the silence that had been silent for a long time, while his thin figure was crumbling in the hot wind, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any moment. As for his proposal, Ghost Dance Liuyang didn't answer, didn't bother with it, and didn't have tassels, as if he couldn't hear it, completely ignoring him. Helplessly, Ghost Dance Jingyi lay down on the sand dunes and took a nap.

Just like that, it disappeared like flowing water with the passage of time, and after another hour, a familiar figure finally appeared in the stone forest in the distance. He had a spear of bones taller than he was, and flew towards him; It is the question of the sky.

His appearance is not fancy, there is no difference, ordinary. Just like that cool breeze, although it blows gently, it can always bring big ripples. That's why I saw that Ghost Dance Liuyang breathed a sigh of relief when he landed, and his tense face showed a long-lost smile. And the tassel burst into tears, wanting to shout to the sky, but the tears in her throat made her not know what to say. just wiped it with his hand, and then swooped towards Wentian who was running, hugging it tightly, so that Wentian was almost out of breath.

"Stream...... Tassel, fast ...... Loosen up, if you don't let go of your hand, I'll ...... Ahem...... That's it...... Ahem......"

This scene, seeing the ghost dance Liuyang and others laughed tacitly, but the tassel was full of shyness, let go of the queen of the sky, and stood aside with his head down, pulling the corner of the clothes of the sky and not daring to show people, for fear that the ghost dance Liuyang and them would make jokes again. After a pause, he asked the genius to walk up to Ghost Dance Liuyang and said, "Brother Liuyang, I survived!" ”

Hearing Wentian's words, Ghost Dance Liuyang didn't almost cry, and he felt like he was in tears. But in the end, he held back, and didn't say anything to Wentian, just stretched out his hand and patted Wentian on the shoulder. Then, he turned to Kanshan and said, "Kanshan, rest on the spot, and set off to return to the camp at noon tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"

After Ghost Dance Liuyang finished speaking, he left, he was afraid that he couldn't help but really cry in the end, so he left. After Kanshan responded, he also walked up to Wentian and patted him on the shoulder, full of joy, so he led his men to camp. And this was what Wentian didn't expect, he thought that Ghost Dance Liuyang would cheer when he saw him, but he didn't, which couldn't help but make Wentian a little disappointed.

At this moment, Tassel took Wentian's hand and came to Ghost Dance Jingyi, who was still asleep and had no idea what was going on. Tassel smiled and leaned into the ear of Ghost Dance Jingyi, and called softly: "Uncle Jingyi...... Uncle Jingyi, wake up......"

"Don't make any noise, let me sleep a little longer!" Ghost Dance Jingyi's eyes didn't open, and he turned over impatiently.

"Uncle Jingyi, who do you think is coming?"

"Who? Is it difficult to ask...... Ask...... Ask the sky? How did you...... You're not ......" Ghost Dance Jingyi sat up directly and suddenly sat up like a nightmare, and said in disbelief: "It's over, it's over, it's a miserable loss!" How could he have come out of the Desert Stone Forest alive? How is that possible? No, no, this must not be true, I must be dreaming, it must be! ”

"Hahaha, Uncle Jingyi, you are not dreaming, asking the innocent to come out alive. So Uncle Jingyi, you're losing! You have to pay my brother at least ten spotted lions and carp tigers, hahaha! ”

"Nope! No! No! ”

Ghost Dance Jingyi was so shocked that he knelt directly on the ground, facing the sky and shouting in disbelief. Seeing Wentian's face at a loss, he didn't know what was going on. I just wanted to ask, but at this moment, there was a sudden wolf howl. Before they could ask the sky how to react, Ghost Dance Liuyang and the others stood guard with swords in their hands, thinking that a pack of wolves was coming to attack.

Seeing this, Wen Tian couldn't help but smile, so he pulled the tassel and ran to the Ghost Dance Liuyang, and said, "Brother Liuyang, you don't have to be so nervous, in fact, I have a big surprise for you." ”

"Surprise?"

After nodding his head, he put a finger into his mouth and whistled loudly like an eagle. Then, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of desert wolves flew out from the depths of the stone forest, and came to the crowd not far away to surround them. Suddenly, Ghost Dance Liuyang and the others were frightened, and they all leaned together and tightened the swords in their hands.

"Ask God, hide behind me with tassels! Kanshan Jingyi, get ready to fight! ”

"Yes!"

"Don't be nervous, you don't have to be so nervous!" Wentian was very helpless, he originally wanted to surprise the Ghost Dance Liuyang and them, but he didn't expect it to turn into a fright. Fortunately, Wentian reacted quickly and explained: "Brother Liuyang, you really don't have to be so nervous, they are all my good friends, and they won't hurt us." ”

"Your good friend? I said, boy, you don't have a bad brain, do you? They're wolves, they're wolves! "The Ghost Dance Sutra didn't believe it, and held the bow and crossbow tightly, and didn't dare to relax. Others don't believe it either, including Ghost Dance Liuyang and Tassels. Because the wolves that surround them are not one or two, but thousands.

Therefore, this is too urgent to ask the sky!

"I'm not lying to you, they're really my friends, I don't believe you." As he spoke, Wentian turned around, cleared his throat in front of the wolves, and yelled: "Everyone listen to my orders, sit!" ”

As soon as these words came out, thousands of wolves sat down obediently, and none of them obeyed. Shocked Ghost Dance Liuyang and the others were stunned, their jaws almost dropped, and they looked at Wentian in disbelief.

"Brother Liuyang, look, I didn't lie to you, did I? Big Brother Liuyang...... Big Brother Liuyang? Wentian called repeatedly, but Ghost Dance Liuyang was still stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses at all, and so did the others. In this regard, Wen Tian looked at their dozen pairs of suspicious eyes and became even more anxious, so he said: "I don't believe you can look at it again!" ”

"Listen to my orders again, get down!"

Wentian gave another order, and then, thousands of desert wolves lay on the ground one by one. At this scene, Ghost Dance Liuyang and the others were even more shocked and dumbfounded.

At this moment, there was a sudden howl of "whoa" again. Everyone then looked and saw a white wolf with a snow-white body standing on a high rocky peak. It looks up to the sky and howls, like swallowing the sun and the moon, very domineering.

"Wolf...... Wolf God! ”

This sentence came from the mouth of Ghost Dance Liuyang, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly put down the sword in his hand and knelt on the ground with a bang. Seeing this, the others also put down their weapons and knelt down towards the white wolf, and the tassel was no exception; This move made me very puzzled, and I wondered why they did it.

"Brother Liuyang, you are ......"

"Kneel down and ask the sky, that's the wolf god!" Ghost Dance Flowing Sun.

"Wolf God?" Wen Tian couldn't help frowning, and said, "Brother Liuyang, I think you misunderstood, that's rhubarb, Xuanyuan rhubarb, don't believe it!" ”

With that, Wentian turned around and whistled at the white wolf again, and then the white wolf jumped down from the rocky peak and came to Wentian. This scene made Ghost Dance Liuyang and others even more shocked, and they couldn't be more shocked. Because the desert wolf is the incarnation of the drought desert water god, and the white wolf is the true body of the drought desert water god.

Since a long, long time ago, there has been a legend about the white wolf on the dry desert, saying that the white wolf is the god of all wolves, and even that the white wolf is the guardian saint sent by the god of drought desert water, guarding all the desert people on the entire dry desert from being bullied by demon beasts, making the dry desert the last piece of paradise on the ethereal one. Therefore, the desert people all worship the white wolf in their hearts and call it the wolf god.

Now, ten thousand wolves are coming, the white wolf has appeared, and the ghost dance and the sun are not disrespectful, and they have knelt on the ground to greet the white wolf with a big salute. But unexpectedly, everyone was dumbfounded, because they didn't expect that the supreme patron saint in their hearts would listen to the words of the heavens like this, and a whistle could be called.

Especially when the white wolf came to Wentian, Wentian actually knelt down again and poked out his head and touched the top of the white wolf's head. Unlike the last time, which represented the conclusion of the contract, this time it represents etiquette, a kind of etiquette that only exists between wolves and wolves, and this etiquette is also the supreme of the wolf pack, representing trust and respect.

They know this, after all, all their lifestyles are learned from wolves, from the establishment of tribes to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, the desert people on the dry desert actually know a lot about wolves. Especially the sons of the tribal leaders must understand these things, because they are the ones who will lead the entire tribe to live in the future, and if they don't even understand these things, then no matter how powerful the tribe is, it will eventually perish one day.
