【Chapter 14】Over the Mountain
If you want to go to the hinterland of Qi outside the mountain, you must pass through the Chilu Mountain, but you don't necessarily have to climb over from the main peak.
Therefore, there are usually only two kinds of people who can go over the main peak, one is idle, and they have to pick the most difficult road to break through; There is another kind, which is for the thousand-tose gold.
In the ethereal legends of the Tusu people, the thousand-year-old gold on the main peak of Chilu Mountain has been blessed by the god Gemao, and its effect is far better than the mineral deposits under the mountain. However, Yu Moji has always been unconcerned about those legends, and has long forgotten what is the magic of the thousand-year-old gold stained with fairy energy in the mountains.
Anyway, people have always been fascinated by the unknown, and the more illusory they are, the more they can imagine countless special and rare effects out of thin air.
In Yu Moji's view, the first appearance of Yanji and Yanjia was just to make life easier for hard-working people; To put the cart before the horse is to put the cart before the horse. But over the years, many people have been in the mountains for this reason, and they have been banned repeatedly.
But I don't know why this group of people wants to turn over the main peak of Chilu Mountain. But no matter what, if she wants to go to the imperial capital, how to go, she can always get some guidance from this group of people.
Yu Moji thought about it while changing his clothes and carrying water to the outside of the hall. The group worshipped the gods in turn, and then came out to drink water.
The guy who was sweating profusely before poured half a pot in one go, and finally relieved himself, and said, "Girl, do you have food here?" ”
"Lang Wang," the "leader" who had always been cold and hard heard this, and immediately opened his mouth to scold, "This is a temple, do you treat people as inns?" Drink water and sharpen, do you still want to stay in the hotel later? ”
"I know, I know," Lang Wang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "but shouldn't all the temples of the Qi people have fasting meals?" Let's just pay. It's raining so heavily outside, and I don't see any restaurants and tea sheds nearby, so let's rush all the way over, you can resist, the brothers, are hungry. ”
The "head" was about to have a seizure, and the little old man spoke: "There is a canteen in the temple, but now I am here...... We are two grandchildren, and the place is small and ugly......"
When Yu Mochen heard this, he glanced at the little old man gratefully, but found that the little old man secretly pinched a handprint in his hand, probably because he had to lie in front of the immortals, begging the gods for forgiveness. When she thought about it, she felt more and more sorry.
The little old man didn't pay attention to her gaze, and only continued, "...... If you don't dislike it, please go to the dining hall to rest for a while, and the little old man will cook you some simple meals. ”
Since the little old man said this, the "head" no longer had any objections, and after a few thanks, he took the group to the dining hall and sat down quite restrainedly.
Since Yu Mochen left the lecture hall yesterday, he has only drunk a glass of water given by the little old man, and there seems to be a group of hungry ghosts beating gongs and drums in his stomach. The little old man probably heard it, and also ordered her a bowl of noodles.
Yu Mochen was grateful and embarrassed in her heart, and she shrank in a corner of the dining hall quite woodenly, bowing her head to eat noodles under the identity of the granddaughter arranged for her by the little old man.
The group of Kalu and the others chatted while eating, and they were very happy. Lang Wang suddenly said, "According to common sense, the temple incense of the Qi people should be very prosperous, why is this place so deserted." ”
"Don't look at me," the "head" gave him a cold look, "I don't know." ”
"Come on. It was only last night that we learned that before we entered the mountain, we had to pay our respects to God early in the morning," said Karyu, "and we have found this place this morning, and it is not easy. Don't worry about anything else. ”
"As soon as you mention this, I have more to say," Lang Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know where the rules of the Baiqi temple came from. It's very fast for us to find a place, but can we bless us with a safe journey by looking for one so casually? ”
"Actually, I've heard of this Deqing Temple before." Yu Mochen hadn't heard this voice much before, but when he looked up, he found that he was a very shy young man, and he was not good at doing this kind of round-game thing, and he stumbled a word; He is also delicate, just like a little girl.
"Yo, let's know a lot about the little brother," Lang Wang looked very interested, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
"In the past, the incense here was still quite prosperous, and it is said that it was also spiritual," he hesitated, "but a few years ago, the temple in this place was greedy for money......" He suddenly glanced at the ink marks of the quiet noodles in the corner, and stopped talking.
Several people noticed his eyes, and they all looked at Yu Moji, and they didn't know what to do.
The gang probably thought she was doing something here, and it wasn't good to talk about the old things in the temple in front of her. However, she is actually a newcomer, not to mention that she also found her mother's handwriting here, and she is always a little curious about the past.
The "leader" was embarrassed when he saw everyone, and forcibly suppressed, "Under the nose of the gods, casually discuss the rights and wrongs of the temple wishes, is it like words?" ”
Kalu also had the heart to expose this topic, so he said to Yu Moji, "Girl, I see that you are strangely lonely alone, come and eat together." We people who walk the rivers and lakes, when we meet it, it is fate, and we don't have to be so born. ”
The "head" glanced at Karyu with some disgust, and it seemed that he thought she was troublesome again. But Yu Moji also had the intention to get close to them and ask about going over the mountain. As soon as Kalu asked, Yu Moji simply got off the donkey and passed with a shy face.
Lang Wang said, "What do you call you, girl?" ”
Yu Moji had heard them call each other before, and they were all Tusu people. With the grudge between the Tusu people and the Qi people, if she reported her name taken by the Qi people, I am afraid that the Kalu people would not be so enthusiastic; Moreover, she is a fugitive and does not want to reveal her name.
She thought for a moment, dug out a Tusu name that had not been used for a long time, and said, "My name is Teller." ”
They also gave their names one by one. The "leader" introduced himself at the last time: "My name is Tu Lian, and I am their leader." He glanced at Lang Wang, intentionally or unintentionally, raised his head slightly, and said, "I am a Qi countryman." ”
"......" Yu Moji's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, which was very embarrassing.
However, this combination is also common. In Aige, in the industry with a head and a face, it is usually the Qi people who sit in the first place. Although the Tusu people below often complained, they were also helpless against the leading Qi people.
For example, at this moment, Lang Wang just lowered his head and picked up rice.
Yu Mochen only felt that the embarrassing atmosphere was getting thicker and thicker, and he subconsciously waved his hand, and quickly nodded at Tu Lian: "It turned out to be the leader." She felt that this was a good opportunity to find out the news, and hurriedly forced herself to ask, "But I don't know what team it is?" I just heard Kalu say, "You have to turn over the Chilu Mountain." Could it be that it is a team that specializes in climbing snowy mountains and exploring? ”
"That's not it," Lang Wang wiped his mouth and responded, "If it weren't for the money, who would have nothing to do to die." ”
Tu Lian glared at him silently.
When Karyu saw it, he smiled, patted them both and explained, "We are from the caravan. This time, I was hired to go to the mountain to pick up something. As for what this thing is, it's not convenient to tell you. ”
"Naturally, this is not necessary," Yu Mozhen hurriedly waved his hand and said with a red face, "Actually, I recently went out of the mountain, but I didn't know which way to go, so I asked." ”
Lang Wang smiled, "There are many roads, but it depends on whether you can go through." If you can get in touch with the official government of the Qi people and get the certificate of customs clearance, you can take a better official road, but you have to go far, there are more good horses, and the supplies must be sufficient, otherwise you won't be able to get around for more than half a month; If you don't have that ability, you will take the road of the folk porter, the foot is fast, you can save a few days, but the road is difficult to walk, you have to cross a lot of streams and canyons along the way, it is very dangerous, do not find a few people to partner, and you will not be able to go; And the hardest part, of course, is the path we are going to take this time. ”
When Yu Moji heard this, he had a sad face.
Only then did she remember, because Xu Fuzi said that she would ask the sergeant entrusted with her to take her, and there were some formalities to be done, and her letter that could be used as a customs clearance certificate was still placed in Xu Fuzi.
In fact, with her current situation, even if she had that letter, it would be useless. When she can't pass any level, she will be discovered, and she is an inexplicable fugitive. Her only hope was that the charges she had made up for her would not be spread to the realm outside the Xiliang Guanyi on the other side of the mountain. After all, the reason for arresting people is really inexplicable, and it's just a horizontal line in the nest, if it really wants to be spread, I'm afraid that the face of the Xuanwei Division will be dull, right?
If this is the case, if she can cross the Chilu Mountain and catch up with the sergeant who returned to the imperial capital in time to report on his work, it may be easier to do.
She knew both the sergeants who taught the martial arts. If Master Xu had communicated before, she met with the sergeants, interceded, and Chen Yi expressed her grievances, maybe the children would still be willing to take her.
Although he didn't know where Xu Fuzi had taken, Yu Mochen still wanted to take a gamble. If she could go with the sergeants, it would be smoother than if she walked on her own, and she could save a lot of money.
She calculated the date of the sergeant's departure, and said, "So, how much will it cost you to climb the Chilu Mountain, and how many days will it take?" ”
"It doesn't cost much, it's just a gamble on your life." Lang Wang smiled and glanced at the partners in the team. Even though he insisted that he would take his life, in fact, the pride in his eyes could not be hidden. "Those who have the ability can go out of the mountain in only three or five days. Even though it's the first time we've gone up to Chilu Mountain—"
"This is your first time?" Yu Moji was a little disappointed.
"It's our first time, but it's not the leader," Kalu glanced at Tu Lian with some respect, and explained, "and there will be an 'old horse' leading the way when we enter the mountain, so it's not a problem." In addition, we have also walked through the large and small snow-capped mountains around here, and we have some experience. Even about a few days, it only took two days to cross the Weifeng mile in the south. ”
"Anyway," Lang Wang said, "we're not small." Plus looking for that thing, it will only take seven or eight days at most. ”
The amazement in Yu Moji's heart had already overshadowed the doubt. Although this speed is certainly not as fast as that of the Pan-Sun Kite, it is also the limit of what human beings can do. She couldn't help but say, "But I don't know what kind of skills are needed?" ”
"Alas," Lang Wang glanced at her and said, "You are a weak woman, don't think about it." ”
"Miss Theller, don't listen to his nonsense," Karyu disagreed, "am I not a woman?" ”
"Come on," Lang Wang laughed and squeezed a grimace, "Karyu, you look like this, you are a black man, from head to toe, where do you look like a woman?" ”
Kalu gave him a roll of his eyes, turned his face to Yu Mochen and said, "If you want to cross a snow-capped mountain like Chilu Mountain, you must have enough physical strength, enough patience, and some skills to walk and climb on snow and glaciers, you must master. She said, glancing at Tu Lian with a grin, "Besides, it would be better if you knew some ingenuity." ”
Yu Mochen said in her heart, she has also practiced in the martial arts hall, and she may not have the physical strength that these people have; As for patience, with her experience of squatting in the rain all night, she herself admires herself a little. Only those so-called walking and climbing skills, but I don't know what it is.
She had the idea of going over the mountain, and she really wanted to leave a good impression on these people, so she put aside what she didn't understand for the time being, and rushed to the things she was most familiar with, and deliberately asked, "Why do you still know how to be skillful?" Can you use a machine on such a high snow-capped mountain? ”
Tu Lian sighed helplessly and said, "On the snowy mountains, people's physical strength will be much worse than usual, but the road they face is much more dangerous. I've always wanted to use the principle of Yanji to study some labor-saving methods. If something happens on the road, such as someone falling down a steep slope, falling into a crack in the ice, etc., you can save some effort when saving someone, and the road will be much smoother. ”
"Don't look at our boss all day long, he is also worried about our lives, so he is so anxious, yesterday as soon as he heard that the temple of the Qi people in the early morning might be able to get some blessings, he hurriedly brought us here." Kalu took the words, and glanced at Lang Wang with some disgust, as if accusing him of not appreciating it.
"The people who dare to turn over Chilu Mountain, even though they are very capable, the number of dead and injured in the past has exceeded half." She sighed again, "It's a pity that our team is all from a reckless background, and we can't understand those clever things, so we can't help anything, and we haven't come up with a clue until now." ”
Yu Moji's face was silent, but he could already hear a bunch of fireworks explode in his heart.
She didn't know where her luck came from, she was still a homeless and hasty prisoner before dawn, but after entering this small temple, she could have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a little human appearance; Now, there is even a place where she can come in handy.
"Tell me, how to save people on the snowy mountain?" Yu Mojin encouraged herself in her heart, after all, she had skills, and at this moment she rarely showed a confident look, "Maybe I can help." ”
