0191 The teenager is favored in Beiliang and has a northern wilderness
On the second day, he came to the Sand Eagle Dart Master to inquire and negotiated with a person from Jia's firm. Tomorrow departure, Xing Zhen and the others can go together.
Xing Zhen smiled and handed over the silver taels, and when he turned his head, he complained to himself: "We have the ability to protect ourselves, so we need sixty taels of silver to lead the way." ”
There are many horse bandits wandering in the desert, and it is better to do more than less. Xingzhen asked the thing to temporarily put the embroidered knife Qiu Shi in his bag, on the condition that the sword dragon Yin gave the thing. The little girl in red was satisfied, and finally achieved her wish to make a mistake with her sword.
All that is needed is water and food, and this kind of silver is not to be stingy. Xing Zhen and others hung large bags and small bags all over their bodies, and large and small water bags were worn in a string. Fortunately, the two little guys came all the way to practice boxing, and their physical strength far exceeded that of other children.
Although Peach Blossom is a woman, she is also good at long-distance exercise. The water bag hanging is a little less limited than the servant's things, and although Xing Zhen is an injured person, no one sympathizes with him and still hangs all over his body.
Then Xing Zhen rode on the back of the ox and led the big and small rounds with the dart master. The dart master sent thirty guards, the merchant removed ten carriages with ten coachmen, three family members, six maids, and one butler exactly twenty people.
In addition to Xingzhen and his party, there were also two groups of people accompanying him. One of them made Xing Zhen very unexpected, and he had two encounters in Monkey Head Mountain.
A farmer who collects stones in a cart, and the stones on the cart look like a hill. Seeing Xing Zhen grinning, he said: "Fate is not shallow." Then he fiddled with the stones on his own, and it seemed that he only had stones in his eyes.
Xing Zhen's eyelids jumped, and the car full of stones was heavy. In the desert, the sand and gravel are soft, and it is much more tiring than walking on normal roads. And it takes more than 1,000 miles to walk, and just thinking about it makes my scalp numb.
The other group was led by an old man with two children, the old man had a chubby face like an apple, and his hair was gray but not wrinkled. The body looks very tough, and the walking speed is not inferior to the young people of the Biao team.
The old man led two young children of about five or six years old, and a man and a woman were dressed in a particularly festive manner. It's like a pair of little boys, cute and lively, which is very rare.
There was also a woman dressed boldly, who did not know whether she belonged to the dart board or followed the team. He doesn't look like a dart player, but he rides a horse and walks in front of the dart game to pass with the big boss of the dart game. This woman really knew that it was the woman who stood on the street and asked for directions before.
There is an old locust tree outside the north gate of Monkey Town, standing alone in the desert. The age of the locust tree is not exquisite, and the trunk alone is the thickness of a house. The foliage is dense and green, and it is a small forest of its own.
All those who go to Beiliang must come to worship under the locust tree before leaving. Legend has it that a locust leaf will fall when a sincere prayer will help the person who prays to survive the desert safely.
Legend has it that at least Monkey Town has not seen an old locust tree drop its leaves for hundreds of years. It is also because the leaves of this locust tree never fall that people believe in this legend even more.
Even if there are no locust leaves falling, the worship procession will be much smoother. The dart game from Monkey Town has been tried and tested, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or if the old locust tree will really manifest. The procession that worships here and the procession that does not worship is completely different.
The experience summed up by the ancestors for generations, no one does not believe in the dart game that is now set off, and it is necessary to worship under the locust tree before traveling.
There is no need for incense, no wine and other tributes, just stand under the locust tree and pray silently. It doesn't take too long, just pray a few words.
As usual, pray quickly and get ready to hit the road. The legend of the locust leaf is believed to be believed, and no one will think that they have that kind of great luck.
Ying Gang, the big boss of the dart game, is a man with a fierce face, and at a glance, he knows that he is a perennial knife-edged person. It seems that there is a fierce aura in itself, and ordinary people interact with it, and they are naturally frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that everyone had finished praying, Eagle just shouted, "Let's go." ”
The long queue slowly advanced, but Xing Zhen and his party did not move. The others had finished praying, and the rest of the sentence had been clasping his hands into fists and closing his eyes in silence.
It's not that there are too many things that Xingzhen prays for, but as soon as he approached the old locust tree, Xingzhen felt that the punishment behind him was slightly hot.
With the prayer of the torture truth, the punishment of the heavy sword became hot. And the punishment became heavier and heavier, and it felt like a mountain pressing down on the young man's back, unable to move his feet.
Seeing this, Ying Gang cursed: "Damn, you shouldn't have brought these ignorant children with you." On the way, I really dare to delay the uncle's good deeds, and I will never spare them. ”
Riding his horse to Xingzhen's side, he raised his foot to wake up the swarthy boy who was praying. Suddenly, there was a touch of green in front of him, and a locust leaf fluttered down and fell straight into Xing Zhen's hands.
Eagle just kicked out half of his foot and immediately retracted it, not because he was afraid of this unattractive young man. Rather, he was worried about his impulsive behavior and offended the old locust tree.
When the locust leaf fell into his hand, the heavy sword punishment instantly returned to the weight of the cause, and the burning sensation subsided. The truth of the sentence is unknown, so for the time being, take the locust leaf into his arms.
I don't know if it's a small move, but it will definitely be recorded in the county chronicles of Monkey Town. When future generations look through the major events that have happened in Monkey Town throughout the ages, they will definitely see such a row of records. A swarthy young man with an unattractive appearance was fortunate to win the favor of the old locust tree and gave him a locust leaf to protect his safety.
A locust leaf attracted a group of dozens of people to look sideways, and there were all kinds of extremely envious eyes. But there is no greed, and greed is useless. Legend has it that the locust tree only protects those it favors, and it is useless for others to snatch it.
Besides, since the locust leaf can protect this young man, snatching the locust leaf in his hand is equivalent to fighting the old locust tree. Not many people are stupid enough to do such stupid acts.
After this delay, the team returned to normal, and methodically walked into the endless desert ahead. Xingzhen Peach Blossom and a small wave followed at the end, and the peasant man pulling the cart and the old man leading the two little dolls were not far ahead.
In the past, there was the convoy of merchants, the carriages with sheds ridden by the shopkeepers and their families, and the street girls who asked for directions and money, and now rode horses. Walking at the front of the line, the difference between the head and the tail is nearly 100 feet.
Xing Zhen, who was riding a scalper and slowly advancing, Mu Ran looked back and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. The boy secretly made up his mind that he would definitely come back in the future. Not for anything else, just because the front is north cool, and the rear is south cool. It is the mother and relatives of the criminal Zhen, and the place where they once led the troops to guard.
Nanliang has the shadow of a mother and a parent, and it is a place where the mother and relatives are injured. It is the pain and wound that cannot be erased from the bottom of the criminal heart, and there is also the truth that the criminal truth must be discovered.
Beiliang is the name of a region, not a city, a pond or a country. It is composed of dozens of cities and counties, and the overall area is larger than that of the book water country.
Every city or county is a government, unfettered and uncontrolled. Compared with the national dynasty, what is lacking is a complete system.
Xing Zhen only knew that Su Yun and Shang Wu were in Beiliang, and it was unknown where they were. The most important thing at the moment is to inquire about the specific locations of Su Yun and Shang Wu first.
Xing Zhen knew that the strength of these two people was by no means simple, perhaps even more terrifying than what he saw in Qingyang Town. This kind of skill will not be unknown in Beiliang, and I believe that there will be results if you inquire.
Speed up a little and chase to the cart man. Greeting, the waiter and the stuff stepped forward to help push the cart. Immediately, the two little ones were so frightened that they shrank their necks, the top was like a small stone mountain, and the bottom half of the car was submerged in the sand. Looking at it, it sank, and I didn't know how this peasant man could pull it.
In order to dispel the fear of things and divination, Xingzhen personally acted handsomely and made the first move. Although there are injuries in the body, it is no problem to exert some strength.
I was a little surprised to go up on my hand, and the board car seemed to be not fast and very heavy. Push it out hard and find that it doesn't take much effort, and it's a world of difference than you imagined.
Bu Shi and the thing saw that the injured Xing Zhen rushed forward, and Yu Xin couldn't bear to come forward to help with a bitter face. It's the same as the feeling of Xingzhen, it doesn't take much effort, and it's not much different from normal walking.
The two little ones were very curious, and climbed to the ground one after another to take a look. Wearing a thin summer coat and directly touching the hot sand, Wow Wow screamed twice and quickly got up, and didn't have the heart to observe the strangeness of the boarder.
The farmer who was pulling the cart felt that someone had come to help. The man turned around and grinned: "Thank you, a few little guys, there is water in the uncle's car, and if you are thirsty, you are welcome to drink it." ”
Bu Shi and the thing were sweet, and at the same time shouted: "Thank you, uncle, your car is very light, and it doesn't take much effort." I can also get my uncle's water to drink, so happy. ”
Xing Zhen scolded with a smile: "You two little ghosts, don't you know how precious the water in the desert is? ”
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, adults don't get in the way if they suffer a little more. The little one is long and active, and it should not be saved on the child. ”
The man who pulled the main force of the cart retorted with a smile, and his voice was full of confidence and loud. A relaxed look.
Xing Zhen saw that this person was more and more unusual, and these stones were collected on the mountain one by one. Stone from which raw iron can be extracted is heavier than ordinary stone. The hill in front of me is like a fake, and there is absolutely no fake.
The man didn't want to say more in this regard, so naturally he couldn't be cheeky and asked. Xing Zhen didn't believe it when he was in the cave, this man couldn't recognize the big mushroom as a thousand-year-old blood reishi.
If you don't feel moved by such a treasure, you can at least see that the man is not an insatiable person. No matter what the reason is to hide your strength, you can rest assured that you don't have any malice, and you don't need to be vigilant.
The goal of approaching the man has been achieved, Xing Zhen began to do business, and asked: "Abel said that he has to go back and forth between Monkey Head Mountain and Sword Sect three or twice a year, are you familiar with the Beiliang realm?"
The peasant man said bluntly: "The little brother can ask whatever he wants. ”
Dealing with smart people is a pleasure, and Xing Zhen didn't turn around and asked directly: "I don't know if Ah Bo has ever heard of Su Yun and Shang Wuzhi?"
The man smiled: "I've heard of these two people, but I don't know if they are the same person as you said." The names of the two people are so coincidental that they are roughly not much different. ”
Xing Zhen was interested: "The junior went to Beiliang this time to defect to Su Yun and Shangwu, if Abel knows, please let me know." ”
The man said: "Coincidentally, the destination of this caravan is Beihuang County, and the Sword Sect I am going to is also near Beihuang County. The little brother has been following the caravan to pass, and Su Yun and Shang Wu are in Beihuang County. "
With the whereabouts of the two uncles, the bottom of the sentence fell: "Thank you Abel for informing me, the younger generation knows." Su Yun and Shang Wu are in Beihuang County, I don't know if Ah Bo knows their specific location?"
"Hahaha, just ask about their residence in Beihuang County. Those two are the current county guards and generals of Beihuang County, one is in charge of business and politics, and the other is in charge of military affairs. “
"One inside and one outside, Beihuang County is well organized. ”
The man laughed and explained, full of appreciation for Su Yun and Shang Wu between his words. It's not the kind of admiration that looks up, but the mutual appreciation between peers.
Xing Zhen was shocked when he heard this, a gentleman who teaches and educates, and a shopkeeper of a blacksmith shop. How did he become a local magistrate, and he was mixed in a place like Beiliang.
