Volume 1 Corpse Mountain Ghost Grass Chapter 14 Shache
I didn't know what to do, but suddenly, the flying hair monk bounced up, lifted me up violently, threw it on the horse's back, stuffed the Taisu Ancient Scroll back into my backpack, put it around my neck, and said only four words in my ear: "Hold the Buddha's tears!" ”
After saying that, he had a flying burr on the horse's buttocks, the jujube red horse was in severe pain, neighed, and ran forward lifelessly, and when I came back to my senses, the jujube red horse had run far away, and when I turned around, I could only see a group of hungry wolves surrounding the flying hair monk, the wolf pack was too large, and the flying hair monk was immediately buried and disappeared into the vast desert.
All this is so sudden, I can still escape death, but what does it mean to "keep the Buddha's tears"?
My brain was a mess, and my body was still in hot pain. Facing the cold wind, my brain gradually cleared up a little, and it was the person who controlled the Feimao monk who wanted to kill us, and the Feimao monk saved us, but he accidentally found the Taisu ancient scroll on me, so he led us out and snatched the ancient scroll here, but unfortunately, after running thousands of miles, he still couldn't get rid of the person who controlled him, and in the end his behavior really confirmed what he said: For Taisu, our lives are just grass mustard......
At this time, the horse ran faster and faster, I don't know what the flying monk stabbed this beast, so that it could not stop, I have been tossed several times, ran for a few hours, one stumbled, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground.
In this fall, I had some consciousness in my body, and I reluctantly pulled out the snow wolf hair that had pierced into my body, and then looked at the jujube red horse, my eyes were bloody, my mouth was foaming at the mouth, and I was tired to death.
At this time it was almost dawn, I took out the compass to discern the direction, the sun rose in the east and I wanted to go west, everywhere I used a dagger to leave a mark on the tree, and then continued to walk, the weather outside the plug was really like a hell on earth, the night was so cold that I shivered, but the day was so hot that I could only continue to walk, as long as the Taisu Gu scroll was on me, those terrible people would definitely not let me go, one more step, it would be less dangerous, I swayed and walked for a day and a half.
At noon the next day, I felt that the last drop of water in my body had been dried by the scorching sun, and an oasis suddenly appeared in front of me, a clear pond, and many melons and fruits were in front of me, but I couldn't catch anything, and gradually it became blurry again...... Obscure...... I know it's a mirage illusion, I've been tricked, people often have such hallucinations when they are desperate in the desert, but what's the use of knowing it in my heart......
When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying in a tent, and when I looked around, Hua Bo, Junzi, and Da Zhuang were actually there, and they were looking at me with a concerned face.
Junko asked me how I felt, my body was extremely painful, my mouth was very thirsty, but I couldn't speak at all, I could only glance at the water bowl next to me, Junko understood, fed me a few sips of water, but the pain in my mouth was unbearable.
Hua Bo said that the pain in my body was just some external injuries, and he had already dealt with it for me when I was unconscious, and the pain in my mouth was a rotten sore and ulcer, and I could only endure it anymore, because all the herbs we brought had been lost, and it was only after two days that Xiaowan could find a way to heal it, I nodded and asked how they found me.
A northern dialect replied: "During the sandstorm, I saw someone steal our carriage and ran away, only you were in the car, I and Shunzi desperately chased after him, but he didn't catch up, and was trapped in place, fortunately, there was water and dry food, and it lasted for a day, and then I met a big caravan from Chang'an, rescued us, and followed the caravan all the way west, guess what?" I found the mark you left, I was happy, I found you along the mark, I just found you at the moment, you were almost dry, but I was still holding your rucksack in my arms, which was heavy and full of silver, tsk, tsk, Yangzi, I really didn't see that you were still a master who sacrificed his life and money, domineering! Da Zhuang said and raised his big finger at me.
I could only smile bitterly at him, and at any rate, I finally got my life back, and suddenly remembered something, so I asked, "What about the ancient scrolls?" ”
"Don't worry, you're here!" Straight way.
I breathed a sigh of relief, rested for a while, and then told them how I had escaped from death.
"Sure enough, it's that little bald donkey, I already thought he was suspicious!" Da Zhuang scolded as an afterthought.
Along the way: "Count him as a good death, and then ask the master to meet him and pick his skin." ”
Only Warber bowed his head and said nothing, and I asked him if he had thought of anything.
Hua Bo said in a low voice: "There is a mixture of things, born from nature and earth, the three realms are one, and only Fang Immortal is the only one." Fang Xian! Fang Xian! ”
He was stunned for a while, shook his head and said: "It is said that the immortal mountain where Taishang Laojun cultivated is called Fang Xiangu, and later the disciples founded a sect under the name of 'Fang Xian' to refine immortal medicine for all immortal families. But these are just myths and legends, how can there really be such a group of people in the world? ”
Da Zhuang nodded and said: "Well, I don't believe in any immortals, most of them are in the name of immortals, and they come out to deceive him." ”
I also nodded, and asked Hua Bo again: "What is the 'Buddha's tears' that the flying haired monk said at the end?" ”
Hua Bo said: "I can't figure out what 'Buddha's tears' are, those who claim to be Fang Immortals want to get it, it must be an extremely important thing." In short, I don't want to do so much, cultivate with peace of mind, and be more cautious in the future. ”
Da Zhuang and Junko went out to get a few local clothes, and after everyone changed into them, they put a headscarf on their faces, until they couldn't recognize who was who when they met each other, and they were satisfied.
When I went on the road the next morning, I found out that this was indeed a large caravan, more than 30 carriages, full of silk and ceramics, there were hundreds of people, and the guide in charge of leading the team was an old local herdsman, and he told us that there were several groups of traveling companions like us in the team, and they were happy to accept it, because the more people, the greater the momentum, the safer it would be, and those like us who broke into the desert single-handedly could survive until now it was a great fate, but then again, the environment outside the fortress was very difficult, Don't fall behind, the caravan won't wait for anyone, and if you fall behind, you can only ask for more blessings.
Fortunately, nothing major happened on the road after that, but when I arrived in Xiaowanguo, my mouth was already full of ulcers, and it was extremely painful to open my mouth to breathe. Although this Xiaowan country is called a country, it is actually a small city, and it is difficult to buy even herbs. Fortunately, it was not difficult for Hua Bo at all, he got some cabbage roots, washed and steamed, and squeezed out a small half bowl of juice for me to drink, this method really worked, and it was fine in a few days.
We inquired about the location of the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain along the way, but no one knew, the caravan's guide, the old herdsman said that the "Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain" was probably not the name of a mountain, because there were not many mountains in the Western Regions, and he traveled back and forth between countries all year round, and there should be nothing he didn't know about the large and small mountains.
However, this mountain of ten thousand corpses, he seems to have heard the old people of Shache country mention it decades ago, compared to those small countries in the Western Regions where a city is a country, this Shache country is a vast territory, connecting Wusun in the west and connecting the essence in the east, Qiuzi in the north to Kunlun in the south, thousands of miles in length and breadth, with a population of hundreds of thousands, maybe where should we try our luck.
We followed the caravan to continue westward, the journey was much more comfortable, and there was no need to bring so many supplies, there were many villages along the way, and we drove for more than ten days, passing through small countries such as Jingjue, Khotan, and Pishan along the way, and finally arrived at our destination, the country of Shache.
This is the largest city we have ever seen since we entered the outside of the city, the brown and black city wall is made of rammed earth, it is five zhang high, it is very strong, the city is a yellow-brown house, full of exotic customs, the street is very lively, the guide of the caravan told us that there are twenty or thirty thousand people in the city alone, this is the center of the Western Regions, the treasure land of feng shui, all kinds of news are also relatively well-informed, we will be able to find the news we want here.
We thanked the old herdsmen, bid farewell to the caravan, and settled down in the city.
In the next few days, we wandered around the city all day, and I could feel more and more that this was a treasure land, in the hinterland of the Western Regions, but there was no trace of desolation outside the plug, and the eyes were full of green, because the Ye River turned a corner here, forming an oasis, so the climate here is mild, the products are abundant, and there are naturally many people. However, we haven't heard about the matter, and the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses is still a mystery.
On this day, Da Zhuang shouted to go to the market again, saying that there is a big market today, the fruit is very good, the grapes are as sweet as honey, I know that Da Zhuang is a foodie.
Warber seemed a little anxious, saying that we were only interested in having fun, and we were delaying our business.
Da Zhuang said that only after understanding the customs here, it is good to inquire, so we took Hua Bo to the set together, it is really lively here, selling everything, and after a while, Da Zhuang's cloth bag is full.
Junzi said to me with some concern: "Brother Yang, I have always felt uncomfortable for the past two days, as if we have been being watched by many people. ”
I thought about it and felt unreasonable, so I said: "Don't scare yourself, we are here, even if we are an ethnic minority, our appearance is too different from others, and it is reasonable for others to look at it a few more times." ”
Junko scratched her head and muttered, "I hope so..."
Before the words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he saw three big men, each riding a tall horse, rushing towards him.
Said that it was too late, it was fast in the blink of an eye, and it was about to hit Hua Bo, at a critical juncture, I went down a lunge, the front knee was pushed forward, and the back knee joint of Hua Bo, Hua Bo's legs were soft and fell backwards, and the eyes of the Shunzi were fast, and he was able to catch the moon in his arms, and he was supported, Hua Bo's feet did not move, but the whole person fell straight and backwards, although the appearance was ugly, but he finally escaped a catastrophe, and the three horses galloped close to his body.
Warber was not hurt, but an old woman in the street was not so lucky, and the three galloping horses were extremely fast, and they ran straight at her, and the old woman was in rags, and looked like she was in her sixtieth year, and moved slowly, and when she realized it, the horse was already in front of her.
Everyone saw it clearly, and they all shouted: "Ah! ”
