Before he could finish speaking, Ke Zongbi pulled the reins twice, and the brown horse under him snorted, and then turned around on his four hooves and walked towards the yurt.

The horses are not fast, and I can keep up with them by walking two quick steps.

As I passed by the yurts, I couldn't help but glance over the tents to see what they were like, but the thick quilt-like curtains were so closed that I couldn't see anything.

Ke Zongbi rode his horse without saying a word, and the sound of the wind and the sound of the horse's hooves was mixed together, which seemed a little dull.

I followed him through the felt tent area, and finally came to a ten-meter-high hillock, and when I stood on the top of the hill and looked down, I could see the horses in the pasture.

It was still dawn and most of the horses had not yet recovered, but even if they were still asleep, the mere sight of hundreds of fat horses gathered there was a magnificent feeling.

Ke Zongbi raised his hand high and shouted at the horses: "Basang! ”

There was a commotion among the horses, and a dozen tall horses spread out to both sides at the same time, and a sturdy man appeared in the open space vacated in the middle.

This person actually slept with the horses.

Ke Zongbi beckoned to him from afar, and he immediately jumped on a horse and ran towards the hillock.

It would take a little time for Basang to climb the hill on horseback, and on this occasion, Ke Zongbi turned his head and asked me, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

I smiled and shook my head: "I haven't ridden it before." ”

The brown horse under Ke Zongbi didn't know what was disturbed, so he moved his steps irritably, Ke Zongbi patted its side neck to calm it down, and then said to me: "It's too late to learn now, Xiaoxi Peak is too far from here, you go on foot, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the spring review." I'll get a couple of riders to get you guys over. However, the road in the mountains is too steep, and the perennial snow is too slippery, and the horses can't get in. ”

I was grateful for his enthusiasm and thanked him.

"You don't have to thank me," Ke Zongbi waved his hand and said, "I helped you for the sake of the Tao." ”

I suddenly had some doubts: "For the sake of Zuo Youdao?" ”

Ke Zongbi turned his face to Basang, who was riding the horse on the hillock, and asked: "I know all the people in the family, but I have never heard of you, so presumably the time you have been back in the family is not long." ”

I nodded: "Counting up, it has only been more than two years since I returned to my family. ”

While I was talking to Ke Zongbi, Pasang had already arrived in front of us, and after Ke Zongbi had spoken to him in Tibetan, his face became unsightly.

After a while, he confronted me and said, "There were six men in the pasture who were in charge of the horses, but one of them had a fever yesterday and is still recuperating, and two more people are left to watch the horses. ”

I didn't respond to his words immediately, but turned around and looked at the jujube red horse under Basan's body, this horse looked very strong, its muscles were full and swollen, and the muscles on its chest could be seen bursting tendons, and the hair on its body was also shining with a layer of clean oil, Ke Zongbi's horse was already a tall horse, but compared to this horse, it instantly became short.

It is said that human beings are the spirits of all things, but sometimes, when human beings stand in front of these fierce beasts, they will naturally have a sense of awe in their hearts.

I retracted my gaze, pointed to the jujube red horse in front of me, and asked Ke Zongbi, "How many miles can this horse run in a day?" ”

Ke Zongbi said: "If it is on the plain, it can run a long way in a day, but the road leading to Xiaoxi Peak is not easy to walk, and it can run more than 100 miles in a day." ”

In rough places, two-legged ones are much more agile than four-legged ones.

Thinking so, I said to Ke Zongbi: "Three horses are enough, I should be able to keep up with the speed of the horses if I walk on foot." ”

Bassan's horse, which seemed to understand what I was saying, leaned over and rubbed against my legs, and then it raised its head and neighed.

What was even more strange was that this man named Basang seemed to understand the sound of the horse, and I saw him leaning down, leaning against the horse's ear and saying something, and then raising his head and communicating with Ke Zongbi for a moment.

When I said those words just now, Ke Zongbi still had a suspicious expression on his face, but now, he looked at me with a surprised look and asked, "Can you really catch up with the horse?" ”

I smiled: "Ordinary horses, within ten meters, are definitely not as fast as me, like this one...... I certainly can't catch up with it on flat ground, but when it comes to mountain roads, I should be faster than it. ”

Ke Zongbi became even more surprised: "That's more than a hundred miles of mountain road, can you bear it?" ”

I still gave him a smile: "No problem. ”

Such a response made Ke Zongbi fall into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his hand at Basang, who understood and immediately drove his horse away from the hillock.

After this, Ke Zongbi led the topic to a topic from a long time ago: "Although we people in the Tunmeng lineage do not practice magic, I can feel that your mental power is very strong, and you may be the first person in the past who can reach this level after two years in the industry." ”

Don't say it, being praised like this, I really feel a little fluttering, but I'm not embarrassed to show it.

Then I heard Ke Zongbi say: "Now that there is a reputation outside, people in the industry have their eyes on him, and even many people are chasing the stars and holding him like the moon." Although there is a way that this child is calm by nature, but being held like this is not good for his growth. ”

I picked up the following words: "So you want me to step up and help him take some of the pressure off his shoulders." ”

Ke Zongbi seemed a little guilty: "That's true. ”

I said, "But why did you choose me, my cultivation in the past two years is indeed not slow, but in terms of strength, I can't rank in the industry." Why not pick a better one? ”

Ke Zongbi shook his head helplessly: "Because I don't have a choice, you are the most suitable." ”

Today should be the first time Ke Zongbi has seen me, before this, he has never heard of my name, and he doesn't even know that I am a yincha, let alone know me, I don't know how he came up with such a "most appropriate" conclusion.

After that, Ke Zongbi asked me again: "I heard you say before, you are from the Dongzi Maimen, I want to ask, who are you studying with?" ”

It took me a while to get used to it when he spoke, and then I responded, "My master is a Dong, and everyone in my family calls him Second Master." ”

Ke Zongbi shook his head: "Nominally, the people in the Winter Character Vein are all disciples of the Second Master, but to this day, he has not personally brought any disciples. I just asked you who your mentor is. ”

I went around in a circle, but what I said was still the truth: "The seventh master taught me the craft of three hanging money, the third master taught me the technique, and the second master taught me kung fu, and they are all my teachers." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Zongbi asked as if he was talking: "Second Master is really your teacher?" What kung fu did he teach you? ”

I said truthfully: "Bone-destroying hands and tooth dismantling eight styles." ”

As if he hadn't heard my words clearly, Ke Zongbi asked again: "What to teach you?" ”

"Bone-destroying hands and tooth splitting eight styles. Oh, and there is also the recognition of incense and antiquity and pharmacology. ”

If Ke Zongbi could open his eyes, he would definitely be wide-eyed by now, but even if he couldn't open his eyes, his current expression was almost distorted with surprise: "Are you the heir of the Bone Destroyer?" ”

I nodded yes.

Ke Zongbi kept shaking his head: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." ”

His appearance made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you, senior?" ”

Ke Zongbi sank and said to me: "Ten years ago, our Tunmeng family had calculated the fortune of the family, according to the trend of heavenly reason, the family will definitely decline in your generation, and the second master's bone-destroying hand will never have a successor!" ”

Will there ever be another heir? So what am I?

In order to prove that I was not lying, I bent down and picked up a stone the size of a monkey's head from the ground, first threw it into the air, and then Zama, heavy shoulder, and punched, and a shock rushed out, and the inside of the stone was shattered on the spot, and then I added a few external forces to crush the surface of the stone.

When the wind blows, the scattered stone dust quickly disperses in the air with the force of the wind.

Ke Zongbi was blind, but I believe that he would be able to "see" what I had done.

Ke Zongbi's face was facing the powder that was scattered in midair, his brows furrowed tightly, and the three longitudinal lines almost became bottomless.

I smiled at him and said, "Maybe you miscalculated, after all, fortune telling can't be accurate every time." ”

Ke Zongbi shook his head again: "That calculation was completed by all the people of the Tunmeng lineage, and there will never be a mistake. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he began to deny himself again: "But what you just used is indeed a bone destroyer." How can there be such a thing in this world? ”

It must be someone in the Tunmeng line who miscalculated, after all, facts speak louder than words.

But Ke Zongbi is an elder, and the Soul Village and the family have always been good, so I don't want to lose his face, so I didn't continue to discuss it.

In retrospect, in my opinion at the time, such a thing as the bone-destroying hand breaking transmission must have been due to a mistake in the calculation of the Tunmeng lineage, so that the wrong result was calculated. But later, I came into contact with Jisoul Village more and more frequently, and I gradually discovered that the Tunmeng lineage of Xiaobu never made mistakes.

It's just that sometimes, the heavenly machine that unfolds in front of them is always divided into two sides, and with the human eye, only one side can be seen, but the other side can never be seen clearly.

It wasn't long before Basang came with two other riders, each riding a horse under him and another in his hand. It was only then that I understood why the soldier's book of war said that when the ancient army was marching in a hurry, the cavalry traveled far away, at least "one person and two horses". I didn't understand what the word "ride" meant.
