Chapter 10 Searching for Food
The base mountain is mighty, the bluestone stands horizontally, the clouds and mist are swirling, or the high and straight rise thousands of feet break the clouds, or the giant ridge is slow and has no border, or the deep canal stretches vertically and horizontally without knowing the boundary, or the cliff enters the ground and the light does not reach. Strange peaks and different rocks tower, hurricanes and rains entangle, waterfalls like white ribbons around the mountains suddenly opened, Qujiang River like blue silk around the ridge stretches endlessly. The two of them stopped while walking, completely in two states with Mo Sen, white heart was cheerful and lively, seeing the great river and long mountains full of praise, Tong Jun was calm and silent, knowing the dangerous mountains of the river and jumping carefully, Qinglong was groggy, listening to the stormy waves and frowning and sleeping.
Such a magnificent scenery also made Tong Jun gradually come out of the pain of losing his grandfather, but it is inevitable that he will still think of his grandfather's smile in the dead of night. After half a month of this trip, the two finally crossed the base mountain and arrived at the sea to serve.
The sea is rich in resources, and it is a beautiful place for Zhong Lingyu. There are countless tribes of all kinds, and there are countless strange people and strange people like stars. The eastern part of the sea is an endless sea, and no one knows where the boundary of the sea is. The imperial capital is located in the east of the central part of the sea, which is where the imperial court is located. There are countless capable people in the court, and the strong are like clouds, and most of the tribes and tribes are dependent on the court, paying tribute regularly, and seeking long-term peace. The periphery of the imperial capital is 500 miles away from Dianfu, and then 500 miles from the layman is the waiting service, and the waiting service is 500 miles from the layman for the Suifu, and the imperial capital is called the Central Plains, and the Suifu is 500 miles away from the service, and the Central Plains and the service are collectively called the sea. Outside of the service, it is the Great Wilderness, the Southern Frontier, the Western Regions, the Northern Territory, and the East China Sea.
Bai Xin and Tong Jun's dry food had already been exhausted, and the two of them ate fruit and drank dew all the way, thinking that they could find someone to borrow a bite of food after surviving Jishan, but the two of them walked for several days and still did not see people.
Bai Xin and Tong Jun are hungry and don't know where to look for some food.
On this day, the two of them walked slowly in the jungle, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, only to see the floating dust turned over, the loess was all over the sky, and a team of people and horses rushed towards the two of Baixin.
Bai Xin shouted happily: "Tong Jun, someone is coming! Great, let's hurry up and order food!" After speaking, he dragged Tong Jun and ran towards the people.
There were a total of 12 horses in this team, each dressed in gold silk soft armor, wearing a red cherry blossom helmet and black brocade boots. The mount has a long mane and is majestic. The person at the front of the team saw two teenagers suddenly appear in front of him, "Huh~", hurriedly taught the horses to stop, and then said sharply to Bai Xin: "Who is so bold! The horse team of the government also dares to intercept?"
Bai Xin greeted him with a smile on his face, clasped his hands into fists and said, "I hope that the official will forgive me!" My brother and I have not run out of rice oil for several days, and I want to borrow a few mouthfuls of food from the adults, and I will be grateful!"
"Go, go!" said the official impatiently, "We don't have much food left, and we don't have any extra food to give you!"
"With just a little bit, our brothers are so hungry. The officials are so domineering and majestic, they must not let the two of us be miserable on the side of the road, and we will not be saved when we die! You should be kind and give us some dry food!" Bai Xin still did not give up, and said politely flattering.
"Don't dwell on it anymore! You can't afford to be charged with obstructing officials! Get out of here, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Bai Xin wanted to say something more, and the official led by him whipped the horse's belly fiercely, and "drove ~" led the horse team to pass past Bai Xin and Tong Jun without stopping, and almost stepped on the two.
When the dust settled, the two of them looked dusty, and said angrily: "Is it great to be an official? What kind of attitude!"
Tong Jun wiped the ashes on his face and said helplessly: "Forget it, let's think of another way!"
Bai Xin dragged Tong Jun and chased after the horse team, and said as he ran: "There should be no one in this hundred miles, otherwise why do they say that they don't have much dry food." Besides, there wasn't much edible fruit around. I see that there must be food in the package carried by the captain in charge, so let's go and steal it!"
Tong Jun hurriedly refused: "Ah, how can this work? It's not good to steal things!"
"It's okay to starve to death?" Bai Xin said casually, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me!"
Tong Jun had no choice but to follow Bai Xin and run away with the traces of the horse's hooves. The two followed the horse team all the way, and drove west for about an hour, when it gradually got dark, and the horse team began to reorganize and rest.
Bai Xin looked at the horse team from a distance in the sky, and said to Tong Jun after falling, "It seems that they should rest here tonight." β
"What now, do you have a way to deal with so many people?" Tong Jun was a little worried.
Bai Xin said confidently: "Don't worry, look at me!"
Bai Xin found a thick tree, bit his finger, and used the essence blood of his index finger to draw a circle circle with a diameter of one foot on the trunk, and then pressed his palm to the center of the circle, and said, "Lost prisoner, fog is coming!"
Tong Jun said in surprise: "What is this?"
"Fog arrays can attract dense fog and envelop a radius of dozens of miles. It's just that it takes a while for the fog to get up, we just have to wait for a while, and when the fog is big and their vision is not good, we will sneak over and steal the package, there must be food inside!"
Tong Jun frowned and said, "Can it work?"
"Don't worry, trust me. I used to do this a lot!"
The fog really gradually became thicker, and the white expanse was charming everywhere, and it was indifferent to find the way when flying. The fine mist is as light as wheat noodles, the tide and fog are like line rain, the world is hazy and the mountaintop is dark, and the sky is not covered by the moon. really made the woodcutter lose his companion, and the fairy boy who collected medicine did not see home.
After the dense fog surrounded all the officials, Bai Xin called Tong Jun and said, "Let's go!"
The strange thing is that he did not take Tong Jun towards the place where the official was resting, but quickly moved away in the opposite direction. Tong Jun looked puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the white heart gourd, and asked, "Are we going the other way?"
Bai Xin said, "No! Qinglong has already started to act! Let's stay away as much as possible." β
Tong Jun found that the Qinglong who had been lying on Bai Xin's shoulder was gone, thinking of Qinglong's usual muddy appearance, he couldn't help but worry, and said, "Qinglong?
Bai Xin laughed and said, "Don't worry!
Looking back at the dense fog, Qinglong changed his previous confused state and quickly ran towards the place where the official was resting.
"The fog is rising. The leader said.
"This fog is coming in a bit of a hurry!" said another official behind him, "Captain, nothing will happen, right?"
Leading the way in front of the horse team was the original captain, who said, "Don't worry, our actions were secretly assigned by the Southern Protector himself, and no one except us knows about it. β
"Yes!" the rest of the people were relieved when they saw the captain say this.
Suddenly, they felt the sound of rustling behind them, and the thick fog made them unable to see what it was, and several people immediately took out their weapons and stood on guard.
"Who's there!" shouted the captain, drawing his sword and rushing towards the dark shadow in the thick fog, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a spirit monkey. The monkey looked to the left and right with round eyes, and sat nervously on the ground, looking at the captain in horror.
When the other officials heard this, they immediately rushed over and said, "Captain, what's going on?"
The captain breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's all right, it's just a wild monkey." Let's rest, everyone. β
The little monkey before several people met also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he ignored the little monkey and meditated on the spot. Seeing that people had no intention of killing it, the monkey gradually moved closer to the original official mission, and even ran to their feet to ask them for food. The daytime rush made them extremely tired, and the officials who were relaxed at the moment also teased the monkeys from time to time.
The little monkey was already familiar with the officials and officials in a short time, bouncing around them, and everyone did not guard against it. Instead, the monkey jumped up behind the captain and grabbed the burden that was placed behind the captain.
Bai Xin and Tong Jun have been traveling far away for a long time, and they have long left the range of the dense fog. At the moment, he was resting in a clearing. The two of them were hungry and waited for the news of Qinglong by the moonlight.
Suddenly, Bai Xin opened his eyes and said, "It's done!" He pressed his hands to the ground and shouted, "Summoning the Green Dragon!"
"Poof~", the little monkey appeared in front of Bai Xin with the package in an instant, and was proudly shaking the package, Bai Xin picked it up and said, "Great, Qinglong!"
"This.... What's going on?" Tong Jun looked incredulous!
Bai Xin untied the package that Qinglong brought back, and said, "I have a contract with Qinglong, and the two of us have the same mind and can summon each other. β
Tong Jun suddenly remembered that when he was in Mosen, the big bird attacked Bai Xin, and he also disappeared in an instant and appeared beside Zhiyou. At that time, Zhiyou was holding Qinglong, and realized that it was Qinglong who summoned Bai Xin at an emergency moment! β
The green dragon jumped on the spot like a child. Bai Xin also took the opportunity to praise Qinglong and said, "Of course, Qinglong is invincible. β
Being praised by Bai Xin, Qinglong suddenly pinched his waist and grinned.
Bai Xin took out a lot of food and water from the package and ate it with Tong Jun Qinglong. While eating, he told Tong Jun about the process of Qinglong stealing the package, Tong Jun listened to Bai Xinkou with great interest, and suddenly asked: "Then let Qinglong get close to the official messenger from the beginning to steal the package, why do you want to lead out the thick fog?"
Bai Xin glanced at Qinglong embarrassedly, and said: "Actually, my initial plan was to let Qinglong steal it directly under the cover of the thick fog, but I didn't expect them to be so careful, Qinglong's whereabouts were discovered so easily." Qinglong was dissatisfied for a while, and hammered him on Bai Xin's shoulder to tell him not to say any more. Bai Xin smiled and said, "But Qinglong is very good at improvising, and he finally succeeded in stealing food!"
Tong Jun also looked at Qinglong with a smile and said, "Well, thank you Qinglong." β
While eating, Bai Xin continued to flip through the package, and suddenly found a round paper tube in the depths of the package, the paper tube was wrapped with gold thread, and the two ends were sealed with yellow seals, and the lid of the paper tube read "The High Priest Personally Kai"
"What is this?" said Tong Jun.
Bai Xin played with the paper tube in his hand, studied it carefully and said, "Open it and take a look." β
"Is it okay to just open someone else's stuff like this?"
"It's okay, I can't give them back. Let's see if there's anything important, and if that doesn't work, we can go and report to the high priest on their behalf. When the time comes, we will ask for the guilt again, just don't miss the big thing!"
"It's fine. β
Bai Xin tore open the seal and opened the paper tube, and there was a piece of paper inside. Bai Xin opened the paper and took a breath.
"The Seven Priests obeyed
