Chapter 119: Encounter with the Nakshatra Sect
Compared to her dream of flying, I actually prefer her to stay.
The next day, we flew from Urumqi to Xining. Urumqi, like Xining, is a very distant place in our eyes, not familiar at all.
Except for a few visits to Tibet, in fact, it is the place where Sichuan and Tibet meet, and I have never been to Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai provinces.
For me in western Guangdong, it is too far away and too remote.
If it weren't for accompanying Lian'er to find the altar, there was basically no possibility of coming. When we came to Xining City, our eyes were black, so we had to find a hotel nearby.
Xining is the capital city of Qinghai Province, close to the Qilian Mountains, so we haven't reached the Kunlun Mountains yet.
After buying a map of Qinghai and studying it for a night, we planned to take a bus to Maduo County. There are several lakes here, and it is also a remnant of the Kunlun Mountains.
There is a railway from Xining to Golmud, and the Qinghai-Tibet line is taken. From Xining to Maduo County, there is only a shuttle bus, and it is the old road in the mountains.
We plan to reverse explore the remaining veins of Kunlun Mountain, so we will buy tickets directly to Maduo County.
This is a shuttle bus through Maduo, Maduo County is too small, there are very few shuttles, and it is still an old road.
In the car, Lian'er held my arm and rested her head on my shoulder, but her eyes were looking out the window.
The car was walking on the winding road, and she fell asleep in the swaying, and the whole person was lying on top of me. When the shuttle bus began to climb the mountain, she suddenly woke up halfway up the mountain.
Opening her eyes, she surveyed the scenery outside. What's going on? Altitude sickness?
I looked at her with concern, trying to see something from her expression, but she looked at me and said let's get off!
Turning his head to look outside, there was a desolate mountain, there was still snow on the top of the mountain, and there was not even a person in this place where the bird did not.
"Are you sure we're going to get off?"
She nodded firmly. I looked out again, and my mind was up and down.
When I called the driver to get out of the car, the driver and driver had surprised expressions. The driver came over and said, "What's wrong?" Altitude sickness? It's okay, there are oxygen bags in the car. ”
I shook my head: "It's not motion sickness, my wife's house is here." ”
The driver turned his head to look outside in surprise again: "I have been running on this line for almost ten years, and I have never heard of any residents here. ”
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you haven't. Alright, let's get off! ”
The driver pulled over, the driver got out of the car and opened the luggage compartment, I took the luggage and watched the shuttle go away.
When the car was far away, I looked up at the sky, which was gloomy and seemed to be about to snow. It's a few degrees Celsius and snow is most likely to fall.
Offering the black unicorn, Lian'er looked at it in surprise, ran over and kept touching the unicorn's head. The Kirin wanted to lick her face, but she couldn't help dodging, and was amused by the Kirin to laugh.
The unicorn is nearly two meters tall, and it lowered its head to lick the lotus, and when I coughed, it didn't dare to lick it again.
The first time I was licked by a unicorn, I was licked with blood all over its face, and it had barbs on its tongue. At that time, it won't be able to control it, but don't lick the blood on Lian'er's face, it will be broken.
"Brother Heng, when did you raise a unicorn? Why haven't I heard you say that? ”
"This is my life-saving baby, and the less people know about it, the better."
"Don't you even tell me?" Lian'er said as she came over and was about to pinch my arm.
"Didn't you ask! You didn't ask, I forgot to say it. Ha ha! ”
I rode the unicorn, put my luggage around its neck, and pulled Lian'er up my back to hold it. At Lian'er's behest, she ran to the foot of the mountain to the east.
There are many dammed lakes at the foot of the mountain, which are estimated to have been caused by earthquakes and landslides over the years.
Running between a dozen or twenty dammed lakes, the Kirin looked excited. It held back for so long and was finally able to come out, so it spread its hooves and ran wildly.
The water of the dammed lake is clear, and in such a place where no one disturbs, everything is pure.
Finding a large dammed lake, we jumped off the unicorn and put our luggage on the big rocks. The black unicorn jumped into the icy lake water and dived.
Lian'er found a big stone and sat on it and watched the lake sparkle. I took a coat from my backpack and sat on her so that it wouldn't cold her ass.
Suddenly we heard the sound of horses' hooves, and we turned our heads to look. I saw a big white fox running from a distance, with blood stains on his hair. Is this hurting?
The white fox ran up to us and circled around us, still barking all the time. Lian'er was motherly and jumped off a big rock to check the fox's wounds.
Trembling all over, it slowly lay down, curling its body and wagging its tail flatteringly.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance approached, and a Tibetan man in a thick cotton jacket rode his horse and galloped over, followed by several horses in the distance.
I stood up and took a few steps ahead of the man. The man stopped ten meters away from me, grabbed the reins, and the red horse neighed, and its hind legs stood up, and its front legs rose.
The front hooves of the red horse fell to the ground, and the man gasped, pointed at me with his horsewhip, and shouted.
"Who? How dare you catch my prey? ”
The horses behind us quickly caught up, and a total of five big men rode horses to surround us. The leader saw Lian'er's face clearly, and his expression was surprised, and he was impressed by Lian'er's beauty.
He glanced at my bag and laughed when he was sure we were just tourists.
"Boy, who am I? It turned out that he brought a girl to fight in the field? You literary and artistic youths, every year you die in the hands of Lao Tzu, no less than one hand! The girls that Lao Tzu robbed back have nowhere to put them! ”
"If you don't make a move in front of me, my chick can kill a few of you."
"Shit! Originally, I came to see you as a white boy, just blow it away, since you have such a big breath, then obediently suffer death! ”
These people, if they disagree, will die, and they are similar to bandits and robbers. In this wilderness, I don't know how many people have died at their hands.
The other four men who surrounded us set up bows and arrows, this is to kill me?
The man at the head took a black star from his bosom and raised his hand to shoot me, and I instantly appeared behind him.
He was startled, the gun went off, and there was a 'bang', and a man on the opposite side fell off his horse. The remaining three all looked at the man in the lead in surprise.
When the man saw that he had killed his own person by mistake, he hated me so much that his teeth itched. As soon as he turned around and was about to shoot me, he was kicked by my leg. As he fell, he raised a handful of powder at me.
I vanished in an instant, appearing next to another person. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he dragged him off the horse, and added another punch to blow him up.
The other two were shocked when they saw this, and they all shot arrows at me, but for a while they couldn't find anyone from me. After the two arrows missed, they then rode their horses to Lian'er, leaning down, trying to catch a girl and go back to the errand.
When they ran to Lian'er, Lian'er suddenly disappeared with the white fox in her arms. Seeing this scene, they knew that they had met a master. A man took out a rocket from his arms, pulled the rope, and with a 'bang', the rocket flew into the sky and exploded with a 'bang'.
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other. In such a sparsely populated place with no signal, rockets are more affordable than mobile phones.
With a five-thunder palm, I smashed the person who fired the rocket for help into two. The red horse was frightened and ran away with half of the corpse.
One of the young ones was left, and I avoided them by striking a large pit of iron nails at me.
The man at the head got up, plucked onions on dry land, and pounced on me, and this man was quite powerful. However, he was hit by my five thunder palms in mid-air, broke in two and fell to the ground, and his flesh and blood were spilled on the ground.
The young one, seeing so many people, could not hurt us in the slightest, and immediately surrendered. He threw his bow and arrow and his sword to the ground, and cut off my desire to kill him. The young man jumped off his horse, his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees.
Lian'er walked out from behind the big rock, glaring angrily.
"Say it! Say what I want to hear. ”
"Back to Daxia, we are the star faction of the Star Sea, I saw a demon fox today, and the deputy head wanted to win the demon fox alchemy, so I came here. I am Jiang Yiwen of the Star Sect. ”
Nakshatra faction? I remember a few years ago, when I went to the capital to participate in an auction of Bu Yunxuan, I had a holiday with the Xingzhu faction. At that time, their person in charge tried to kill us with poison, but a girl in purple gave us the antidote, and then they ran away.
I didn't expect to come all the way to meet them here. What's the name of that girl in purple?
"You Nakshatra faction, there is a girl in purple, what is it called?"
"Purple? That's my junior sister Ah Zi, and she's going to marry the head of the family tonight. ”
"Married? How old are you? That Ah Zi, it seems to be less than twenty, right? ”
"Every few years, the head of the family gets married, and many of them are girls who are snatched on the road. Ah Zi was bought at the age of ten, and it was the 'Yangzhou Thin Horse' bought by the elders of the sect, and he was adopted as a disciple and raised until he was twenty years old. In recent years, the highway has been built, and few tourists take the old road, so the head of the family has not been married for several years. ”
It turns out that the head of this star faction still has this hobby? It's 2011, and you're still robbing people to get married on the road? No one cares about such a strange hobby?
The so-called 'Yangzhou Thin Horse' is those idiots on the Internet, who often post on Moments to show that they are Yangzhou Thin Horses. 'I would like to be a thin horse in Yangzhou and wander the world with you. ’
In fact, since the Ming Dynasty, in the Yangzhou area, some people bought little girls, specially trained these girls, and sold them to passing wealthy merchants as concubines.
These girls were bought by poor families, and they were very thin and slender, so they were called 'Yangzhou Skinny Horses'. The 'skinny horse' is actually a bought concubine.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, 'raising thin horses' was a profiteering investment, so there were many people engaged in such a business.
They bought little girls from poor families and taught them singing and dancing, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. When he grows up, he sells it to a wealthy merchant passing by, or sells it to a green building to make a profit.
In that case, this Ah Zi was actually bought by the elders of the Star Sect? And you're going to marry the boss tonight?
"How old are you bosses?"
"Sixty years younger."
Sixty years younger, that is, in her fifties, let a twenty-year-old girl marry an old man?
Just when I was thinking about whether to rescue Ah Zi, this Jiang Yiwen took out a packet of powder from his arms and raised it towards us.
I pulled Lian'er and disappeared in an instant, and then appeared behind the big rock. I asked Lian'er how she was, did she inhale that powder? She shook her head.
After making sure that Lian'er was fine, I walked around the big rock, and Jiang Yiwen had already mounted the big horse and galloped away.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, a few hungry wolves appeared in the distance, startling away the remaining few jujube red horses.
At this time, five more horses came running from behind, and the sound of horses' hooves was instantaneous. I told Lian'er to hide, and I went up to meet her.
These five people are supposed to be in the same group as the people on the ground, and they are also wearing Tibetan clothes. They were about to outflank the white fox, but they didn't expect that four had already died here.
Dodging a few arrows, I blasted them away with five thunder palms, and several horses ran away with their stumps. In the distance, a few hungry wolves were moving.
I whistled at the dammed lake, and after a while, the black unicorn floated up with a 'whoosh'.
Waving to it, the unicorn climbed onto the shore and shook the droplets of water on its body. Putting on her backpack and helping Lian'er onto the unicorn's back, she held the injured fox in her arms.
I sat in the back, pointed ahead, and the black unicorn rushed out with a gust of wind.
We hung far behind Jiang Yiwen and followed him for half an hour, and we could see Maduo County in front of us.
He bypassed the county seat and headed straight to the south. After crossing a tidal flat, you will come to a large lake. This is the legendary sea of stars, Jiang Yiwen ran all the way along the sand by the lake.
The tidal flat we crossed just now is the source of the Yellow River, and a few dozen kilometers to the west is the glacial lake.
Unexpectedly, the source of the Yellow River is here, the river water comes down from the glacial lake, and then walks hundreds of kilometers south and thousands of kilometers north, passing through more than a dozen provinces.
The Nakshatra can stay in this place where birds don't for hundreds of years. As far as the eye can see, there is no vegetation around, only snow and bare rocks on the top of the mountain.
Watching Jiang Yiwen walk towards the path up the mountain, looking up, he can see that there are several ancient buildings halfway up the mountain, this is the nest of the Xingzhu faction?
We got off the unicorn, and Lian'er put the white fox on the ground. I took the black unicorn and asked her how the white fox was?
Lian'er said that the problem was not big, it was an arrow abrasion, and it would be fine to raise it for a few days. As we were talking, a large number of people and horses came down from the mountain, and there was a commotion.
I told Lian'er to take the white fox to the stone pile at the foot of the mountain to hide, and I will deal with these people.
More than thirty sturdy men came, all armed with bows and arrows. Jiang Yiwen pointed at me and said, "That's the kid, and then more than 30 horses surrounded me."
I looked at Jiang Yiwen with a smile, his eyes were looking around, probably trying to find Lian'er to ask for credit.
"Jiang Yiwen, let you go with a dog's life, you didn't hide and lick your wounds, and you still brought so many people to surround me, are you impatient?"
"Boy, you killed the four deputy heads and caught the demon fox, and now our head will personally take your dog's life!"
"Yo! Where is the killing of four people? I killed the five people who came to your support. Now, how many of you have here? Wait until they all die! ”
A sixty-year-old man was next to Jiang Yiwen, snorted heavily, pointed at me and said, "Boy, where are you from?" ”
"Jiangxi Nanzhen Guan Chen Daheng." I arched my hand as I spoke. A small person like me, not to mention Qinghai Province, is placed in Jiangxi Province, and few people know me.
"The head of the Qinghai Xingzhu Sect, the Heavenly Wolf, draw the next line!" The wolf arched his hand at me, naturally he had never heard of such a number one person as me in the rivers and lakes.
"It turned out to be the head of the Heavenly Wolf? Disrespectful, disrespectful! By the way, have you brought the Three Jewels of the Stars of your faction? ”
I used to hear Jiang Ming say that the Star Sect has three treasures, namely Rousi Suo, Shenmu Wang Ding, and Holy Water King. This time, let's take a look at them and get them over, and I'll share them with Jiang Ming.
Sky Wolf Zi took a breath of cool air, and glanced at Jiang Yiwen viciously with his eyes, probably blaming him for causing trouble. Jiang Yiwen lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"It turns out that Xiaoyou is here for my three treasures of the stars? I don't know if you have the ability to take it! ”
The wolf said fiercely. But he began to mumble in his heart, a young man, who killed nine of him, also knew that he had the Three Jewels of the Stars, it was obvious that he was coming for this.
"It's not to go to your Three Jewels, it's just to take it by the way and go back to study it. So be it! I let you make three moves, and after three moves, I beat you to the loss, and you will present the Three Jewels of the Stars, how about it? ”
What I said is murderous! In other people's territory, in front of the boss, say such things. If the wolf son has a heart attack, it is estimated that a mouthful of old blood will spurt out and hang up.
Sure enough, when they heard my words, they didn't need to make a sound, and the people around them started scolding.
I looked at the wolf with a smile, his black face turned from white to blue, and then I raised my hand, and the people around me didn't dare to make a sound.
"Boy! My husband has been in Tibet for 30 years, and no one has ever dared to talk to me like this. for they who say this are dead. So, in my eyes, you are already a corpse. ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Each other, each other! ”
"Boy, don't talk nonsense, take it!"
