Master Sanji began to introduce some of his judgments and conjectures to Cheng Zhong from his investigation of the wolf clan.

The first judgment is that because the wolf language is simple, the 'wolf language' is basically the same in various historical periods and different regions.

This is not like human language, which is very different, inconvenient for communication, and affects inheritance.

The second judgment is that the intelligence of the wolf clan varies greatly.

The intelligence of individual wolf clans can almost reach the level of humans, such as the thin-waisted wolf Snow Red.

Most wolves, on the other hand, have low intelligence and only have the basic ability to survive inherently.

This is also completely different from humans.

Human intelligence, in general, is not much different.

As for the reasons for the difference in intelligence of the wolf clan, Master Sanji also analyzed and put forward some conjectures.

The first is due to racial differences.

In the case of Snow Red, its intelligence may come from the ethnic heritage of the Slender Waist race.

The second is the disparity due to special geographical areas.

There may be certain areas of the planet that humans cannot access and intervene in, where wolves live a free and communal life, thus developing extraordinary intelligence.

For example, on the snow-capped mountains at the highest altitude on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a kind of snow wolf.

Master Sanji once had the good fortune of seeing a snow wolf with a human-like intelligence, but unfortunately it was dead.

There may also be some 'foreign lands' that humans do not know or even imagine at all, existing in the universe.

For example, the 'wolf domain' guarded by the thin-waisted wolf clan for generations.

The third is due to the difference in longevity.

The average wolf clan can only live for more than ten years, and some wolves may have a longer lifespan for special reasons, and can live for more than a few decades, and their intelligence may be higher.

The fourth is due to differences in how you interact with people.

Since humans are much more intelligent than wolves in general, wolves that have been interacting with humans for a long time may have relatively higher intelligence.

In this regard, there are many examples in history, such as the interaction between nomads and wolves......

Master Sanji spoke for a long time in one breath.

Although Cheng Zhong tried his best to use his clever brain, he still couldn't keep up with the master's thinking.

Seeing that the master finally stopped, Cheng Zhong interjected:

"Dear Master, your words have opened my mind and made me think a lot.

However, what is the value of these judgments and conjectures in saving the historical civilization of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?"

"Saving historical civilization is just the reason why Lao Wei studied and thought about the problem of the wolf clan.

Now, do you feel that the investigation of the wolf problem itself has great significance and value, and this value has far exceeded our original intention.

If we continue to explore along this line of thought, it is entirely possible to break some of the rules and regulations of existing science.

It is also possible to reflect some legends and religions that seem to be ethereal, thus advancing the overall level of human understanding of the universe. ”

The master raised his head, looked into the unreachable space, and said in a quiet tone.

"Ah, that's true.

I've been exposed to a lot of phenomena that are hard to explain.

For example, if you invite the gods through the incense table, you can feel the presence of the gods.

For another example, through the snow red, I learned the secret of the 'Wolf Domain'.

These seem to involve human understanding of the universe and seem to contain more unknown things.

Now, with the help of the wise wolf Xue Lihong, I should have the opportunity to explore further and find out the truth!"

Cheng Zhong slowly understood Master Sanji's thoughts and said tentatively.

"That's exactly what happened.

Most of what I have just talked about is just conjecture, and to find out the real situation, we can only rely on you, the noble man of destiny!

That's the fundamental reason why Lao Na wants to lead people to follow you!"

At this point, Master Sanji bent down, held Cheng Zhong's face with both hands, and stared at Cheng Zhong like a treasure.

Cheng Zhong grabbed Master Sanchi's wrists from both sides, put his cheek on the palm of the master's hand, looked at the master with incredible eyes, and said:

"Master, you are the greatest wise man I have ever seen when I am so old, and I am willing to follow you all the way to explore, and I will never back down no matter what difficulties I encounter. ”

"Amitabha! Cheng Shaoxia has won the award.

I repeat, from now on, it is not you who follow me, but I who follow you.

From now on, whether it is Xue Liancheng, Meng Xu, or me, they are just your eternal followers and protectors, and everything is subject to your arrangement.

This is the will of the Buddha and the most important thing I ask you to promise today. ”

The master continued to slowly lower his body, his legs bowed forward and back, and his head was close to Cheng Zhong's chin, and he lowered his voice but spoke more firmly.

That posture seems to be ...... If Cheng Zhong does not agree, he will kneel on one knee at any time.

"Master, don't do it!

You are not on the same level as me in terms of age, status, or wisdom, and that would afflict me.

I promise to work with you to explore the mysteries of the universe, with blessings and misfortunes, but I only accept the accompanying protection of Snow Lotus in life. ”

Cheng Zhong hugged Master Sanji and said.

"Cheng Shaoxia, please rest assured, protecting you is not following you all the time and disturbing you.

You just have to live your life on your own track, and we will be there when you need to.

I am arranging that Meng Xu and Xue Liancheng's hukou will be transferred to Chengjiawan.

Xue Liancheng will go to school with you, and Meng Xu will go to your school as a school guard.

I also live at the highland monastery and am always available. ”

Master Sanji said as if confidently.

"Then I'll follow your arrangement.

However, it's so far away, you don't have to be on call!"

Cheng Zhong was both surprised and excited in his heart now, but the latter sentence was a little careful.

"You can also rest assured, in the future, one on each side of the two Dapeng birds, if there is a major event, you notify the old man through the Dapeng bird, and I can arrive within an hour." ”

Master Sanji seemed to have seen through Cheng Zhong's careful thoughts, and said it directly.

Cheng Zhong was overjoyed.

He really wanted a Roc bird.

Master Sanji immediately took action and carefully taught Cheng Zhong the spell to summon the Dapeng Bird......

Chapter 45 There are two kinds of differences

Cheng Zhong and Master Sanchi were still walking on the road.

Suddenly, three horses, kicking up a cloud of dust, appeared at the entrance of the village.

Just now, when they saw Master Sanji's Dapeng Bird, Cai Rang, Meng Xu and Zhao Ying and the other three happened to take the shuttle bus to the foot of Tiemu Mountain.

Meng Xu led the two of them to the house where the horses were stored yesterday, and paid to take out the horses.

The three of them rode straight to Chengjiawan.

The horses are the same as yesterday's three, but the rider has changed two.

Just turned a hill, so that I saw Master Sanji and Cheng Zhong from afar.

"Phew-", only to tighten the reins.

"Kizujin ......"

The horse neighed in pain, twisted its neck widely, and spun in circles in place before relieving the force of the forward charge.

The three jumped off their horses.

Only then did he and Meng Xu clasp their hands together and salute Master Sanji.

Zhao Ying bowed to Master Sanchi, then rushed over, stretched out his arms, and leaned over to hug Cheng Zhong.

The two of them were so excited that their eyes were teary-eyed.

Master Sanchi laughed "haha".

Everyone didn't say much, followed the master and Cheng Zhong, and walked towards the big courtyard of Cheng Zhong's house together.

"I don't know what happened to the old family, why did so many people come here at once, and there are three horsemen!"

The people in the village talked a lot, but they all ended up.

The group arrived at the gate in a blink of an eye.

Grandpa, Xue Liancheng and Xu Shoujun, who were basking in the sun and chatting at the gate of the courtyard, greeted them.

"With so many people coming at once, where are you staying at night?"

Grandpa muttered under his mouth.

And they stopped on the flat ground at the gate.

Cheng Zhong and Xue Lian Cheng took the reins of the three horses, tied the horses with the help of their grandfather, and found water and forage.

Master Sanji called and whispered a few words in his ear.

Only then did he nod his head and agreed.

Cheng Zhong saw Master Sanji's actions and knew that the time to say goodbye to Xu Shoujun had come, and his eyes began to redden.

He suddenly remembered something, and walked quickly to Master Sanchi's side, and said in a low voice:

"Master, you have money with you, can you lend it to me?"

Master Sanji understood Cheng Zhong's thoughts, took out all the hundreds of yuan on his body, and quietly stuffed it to Cheng Zhong.

Cheng Zhong came to his grandfather again and whispered a few words into his grandfather's ear.

Grandpa entered the gate in the blink of an eye.

When he came out, he held a bottle of liquor in one hand and an empty bowl in the other.

Cheng Zhong's two eyes were staring at Xu Shoujun, who had a breezy face.

He suddenly ran two steps and rushed to Xu Shoujun's side.

I saw him hugging Xu Shoujun's waist, and then the double paint bent, and his body slowly slid down.

In the end, he fell to his knees at Xu Shoujun's feet.

Looking at Xu Shoujun again, the light in his eyes has faded at this moment, and his expression is a little sluggish, completely like the image of an old man with vicissitudes.

He slowly bent down, his hands trembling and stroking Cheng Zhong's hair and face, with a stiff smile on his face.

Cheng Zhong hugged Xu Shoujun's legs and straightened his small body.

Then he turned his back to the sky and looked at Xu Shoujun's face.

I saw two lines of hot tears, frantically gushing out of Cheng Zhong's eyes, across his face, the corners of his mouth and chin, and falling to the ground with a "crackle".

Seeing this, Snow Lotus was full of surprise.

She didn't tell the reason, she bent down and pounced, knelt down with Cheng Zhong, and supported him from the side.

Cheng Zhong bit his lip with his teeth to prevent himself from crying.

Xue Liancheng didn't dare to comfort Cheng Zhong, but just used the sleeves of her Tibetan robe to help him wipe away his tears.

Time stands still, the picture freezes.

For nearly five minutes, the scene was silent, like a silent movie.

Cheng Zhong finally stood up and walked to Cai Rang's side.

He took out all the money that Master Sanji had just given him and divided it into two parts.

A thick pile was handed to Cai Rang's hand.

turned around again and stuffed the thin pile into Xu Shoujun's hand.

Then, Cheng Zhong looked at Cai Rang and said:

"Brother Cairang, please buy some cigarettes and alcohol, and then invite the case handlers of the Public Security Bureau to have a meal.

Please be sure to talk to the people at the Public Security Bureau.

Xu Shoujun violated the law of the country and should be dealt with in accordance with the law of the country.

But when he was old, he turned himself in again.

Raise their noble hands, and do not beat him, nor torture him, nor let him suffer!"

"Brother Cheng, I will definitely bring it, but this money ...... You'd better take it back!"

It's a little confusing at the moment.

He didn't understand, when did Cheng Zhong and Xu Shoujun get together?

He was about to open his mouth again, and his eyes swept into Master Sanchi's fierce gaze, so frightened that he bit his mouth and swallowed all the words he wanted to say, and he didn't know where to stuff the money in his hand.

At this time, Cheng Zhong had turned around and took the wine bottle and bowl from his grandfather.

He bit off the iron cap of the wine bottle, and the bowl was full of wine.

Holding the wine bowl in both hands, he came to Xu Shoujun's face, and said with a hard heart:

"Grandpa, people live to be 100 years old, and they will die eventually, please drink this bowl of wine from your grandson and go all the way!"

"Okay, good, hahaha, happy!

Grandpa's heart is the brightest and most down-to-earth at this time.

Good grandson, don't be sad.

You must remember that as a manly husband, you must overcome difficulties, always move forward, and reach the highest level in life, so that this life will not be in vain!"

After speaking, Xu Shoujun took the wine bowl with both hands, raised his neck, and drank it all.

I saw Xu Shoujun, with tears in the corners of his eyes and wine flowing from the corners of his mouth, he had turned around and walked away.

Only then did he hurriedly lead the two horses and leave behind Xu Shoujun.

After walking about 100 meters, the two people got on their horses separately and walked away.

Everyone watched the two horses disappear before entering the house one after another.

Grandpa invited Master Sanji, Meng Xu and Zhao Ying to the hall for tea.

Xue Liancheng took Cheng Zhong to the hut together......

It's lunch time in the blink of an eye.

Grandma, mother and sister-in-law cooked a lot of dishes, and steamed a lot of steaming steamed buns and flower rolls.

The guests of honor were seated in two groups.

Master Sanji, Meng Xu, and Zhao Ying sat on the big kang to eat with their grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother.

The eldest brother, sister-in-law, Cheng Zhong, Xue Lian Cheng and his siblings, nephews and nieces at home all sat at the big dining table on the ground floor to eat.

Everyone chatted while eating.

The depressing atmosphere that had become trapped just now to see Xu Shoujun away gradually dissipated.

Cheng Zhong's mood also slowly adjusted, and he began to talk and laugh.

In the middle of the meal, Cheng Zhong called Zhao Ying to the hut and said something.

Zhao Ying promised him that as soon as he returned to the farm town, he would immediately send Zhang Gaixiang back to Chengjiawan by shuttle.

Towards the end of lunch, Master Sanchi said to Grandpa:

"I feel a lot when I come to your house this time, and your big family is really enviable.

Thank you for your hospitality!

After this meal, I will leave with Meng Xu and Zhao Ying. ”

The grandparents also said a lot of kind words.

The whole family sent Master Sanchi out of the house.

Cheng Zhong suddenly remembered something, and said to Master Sanchi:

"Master, there is only one horse here, so let me ride it on the last trip to the red side of the snow.

Please walk with the three of you, and in a moment, we will meet at the foot of Ironwood Mountain. ”

Xue Liancheng also wanted to follow Cheng Zhong, and the two rode away.

When I arrived at the ancient temple beach of Tiemu Mountain, before the contact signal was issued, Xue Lihong had already appeared in front of me.

Cheng Zhong sat on a broken stone, his left hand was Snow Lotus Cheng, his right hand was Snow Lihong, and the two of them were close together.

Xue Lihong asked Cheng Zhong to deal with everything as soon as possible, and it will arrange for Cheng Zhong to enter the "Wolf Domain" to practice throughout the winter vacation.

"Then what should I do?" asked Xue Liancheng.

"You just live in my house, what's the matter, you and Xue Lihong can take care of each other. Cheng Zhong said.

Although Xue Liancheng was 10,000 reluctant, he knew that Cheng Zhong's cultivation in the "Wolf Domain" was a top priority, and he didn't dare to stop him.

Moreover, Master Sanji also gave her a new task, which was to deepen communication with Xue Lihong, and it was best to try to create a new script, "Wolf Language", which was convenient for recording wolf language and forming research materials.

Cheng Zhong said a few more words to Xue Lihong.

In the snow, he returned to the hole, and brought his money pocket and Cheng Zhong's schoolbag.

Cheng Zhong took out 3 wades of cash, put them in his schoolbag, and said goodbye to Xue Lihong.

At the foot of Tiemu Mountain, two groups of people arrived almost at the same time.

Cheng Zhong took out the first pile of money and handed it to Master Sanji, saying that he would return what he had just borrowed.

Sanji was also polite, took out a few, and returned the rest to Cheng Zhong.

Cheng Zhong took out the second pile of money and handed it to Meng Xu, saying that it was the cost of building a "small machine crossbow".

Meng Xu didn't accept it, he said with a smile:

"I'll send you your weapon in a few days. The money will be used as Xue Liancheng's room and board expenses at your house. ”

"Last time, you said you had something to ask me, what was it?" Cheng Zhong suddenly remembered what Meng Xu said in the town.

"What I want to say, the master has already told you, that is, to get you to agree with me and Xue Liancheng to follow you. Meng Xu said.

Cheng Zhong handed over the remaining two wades of money to Zhao Ying's hands together. Say:

"Uncle Zhao, I have suffered a lot for you, lost your motorcycle, and delayed your business for so many days, this money as compensation. After you go back, you have to arrange for Zhang Gaixiang to go home. I also want to be kind to Zhang Xiaoning, and strive to let me drink your favorite wine as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Ying put away the two wades of money and said with a smile on his face:

"Hehe, although I have suffered a little sin, it is worth it to be able to make friends with a chivalrous and courageous young hero like you! This time I went back, I discussed with Xiaoning, she has always thought that the place of the labor camp town is not good, maybe the two of us will come here to live, and everyone will be lively together. You have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Of course I'm welcome, as long as you don't feel like the backwoods, come and I can help you with other things. Cheng Zhong enthusiastically agreed.

Master Sanchi concluded:

"I'll leave the horse to you, and we'll say goodbye, goodbye!"

Everyone reluctantly said goodbye.
