readx;
It took until noon on the second day before everyone crossed a mountain peak and saw the majestic snow-capped mountains in front of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hu Yanping couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, could it be that this trip would have to climb over this snowy mountain?
However, according to the current situation of the team, everyone is tired, and they have not prepared cold clothing, so they bravely climb the snowy mountain, and they don't know how many lives they will have to give.
Combined with the attitude of the villain who called himself Ding Xuan in front of him to cherish human life, the other party should not be so reckless, but there is obviously only one road in the snow mountain in front of him, is there any other change?
In Hu Yanping's doubts, sure enough, when the team was about to walk to the snow mountain, the leader Ding Xuan changed his direction and took the team from a very hidden route to bypass the snow mountain.
Although he did not climb the snowy mountain, this road is still rugged and difficult to walk, twice he entered the valley of death, obviously there is no road ahead, Ding Xuan always magically finds a path to the outside world, Hu ** secretly called himself surprised, unconsciously became a little dependent on him, and the sense of crisis in his heart was much less.
Everyone trudged hard, out of the Valley of Death, over the mountains, through a desert where there was almost no grass, and when it was dark, Ding Xuan led everyone to the fault canyon that he and Li Kun had inadvertently entered last time.
This canyon can be described as a ghostly axe, the creation of heaven and earth, from the outside it is an endless mountain, it is almost difficult to find that there is a thin crack hidden between the ups and downs of the mountain, just like a huge sharp axe from the sky, a mountain is separated by a thin crack, this sharp axe is too sharp, the separated parts seem to be divided and combined, do not go closer, do not observe carefully, it is difficult to find such a crack hidden between the mountains.
Therefore, it is very apt to describe it as a glimmer of heaven.
Walking into the canyon, looking at the sky above the head with only a gap, everyone was amazed by the wonder of nature's creation, but this is not over, after passing through several miles along the steep and rugged canyon, everyone's eyes lit up, the vision was instantly broadened, and in front of them was a boundless plain.
Hu Yanping was greatly surprised, how could the stars in the sky fall on the plains? Looking at it with his eyes, he saw that the light came from hundreds of lakes and waters, as depressed as scattered, as bright as the stars, and under the illumination of the bright moonlight, it reflected pieces of dazzling light, and at first glance it really looked like a sky full of stars scattered in the world.
Ding Peng, who was stationed in front of the horse, pointed his horse whip and said proudly: "This is our territory, the Qianhu Basin, and our foundation will start here!"
Everyone was shocked by the strange scene in front of them, and after listening to Ding Peng's heroic words, their hearts were moved.
After waiting for a while, with Li Kun's scolding voice, Li Kun and the two girls who finally fell at the end also arrived, Li Kun ran to Ding Peng's horse and invited credit: "Master, the villain didn't dare to relax a little along the way, and finally brought all the people over, and none of them were lost." ”
"Very good!" Ding Peng rarely complimented him, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, I don't have to worry about your affairs." But it's not over yet, you lead the group to work harder, set up a tent here at the exit of the canyon, and rest here tonight. Now that the foundation is created, everything can only be simplified. ”
Li Kunlian said that he was not tired, and he took the order to go, and the convoy of the dart bureau of the tent was with him, Li Kun shouted and commanded everyone to build it separately, Ding Peng saw that there was nothing wrong, so he rode a horse and rushed into the basin alone.
After riding a horse for more than ten miles, Ding Peng came to a large lake, which is the largest freshwater lake in the Qianhu Basin, Ding Peng named it Mingjing Lake, and he had decided to build the sect altar nearby, and there was still a temporary tent he and Li Kun set up last time.
Of course, the tent is not the main thing, Ding Peng rushed back in a hurry because there were still people in the tent, as mentioned earlier, he and Li Kun ambushed the business road every day, blocking the road and robbing people, but after waiting for many days, they only caught a couple who ran from the Central Plains to the Western Regions to ask for life and luck, but the couple did not bump into each other, and crashed into Ding Peng's ambush circle.
In addition to this unlucky couple, there is also an old craftsman who was deceived from Shanshan Country in the Western Regions, the old man claims to be a master builder, proficient in various Chinese and Western style buildings in the Central Plains and the Western Regions, last time Ding Peng asked Li Kun to go to Shanshan Capital City to inquire about the news, Li Kun knew that there was an extreme lack of skilled craftsmen now, so he abducted this old man back by the way.
Whether it is a young couple or an old craftsman, after coming to this place where birds don't, it is naturally not voluntary, but Ding Peng and Li Kun want to go out to arrest people, and they have no time to take care of them, and they are worried that they will run away, so when they set off the day before yesterday, they simply tied them up and threw them in the tent.
Fortunately, the terrain of the Qianhu Basin is special, and few large beasts can enter the canyon through the front of the dead ground, Ding Peng came to the tent, only to see three people lying on the ground weakly, the old man is still nagging, except for mental malaise, but there is no big problem.
The old man of the craftsman is a short and fat man, with a single line of eyebrows, hanging from the corners of his eyes, a natural smiling face, and a very funny appearance, at this time, when he saw Ding Peng, who made him hate itchy, he hurriedly scolded: "Bastard, you finally appeared, quickly untie the old man, what a bastard who doesn't know how to respect the old man, you have a request from me, and you treat the old man like this." By the way, get the old man something to eat first, I'm starving to death. ”
He even smiled when he scolded people, but he scolded and scolded and opened food again, just like a child, Ding Peng apologized: "I'm really sorry that you are old, but there is no way to do it, but please rest assured, as long as you get through the current difficulties, I will provide you with old age like a bodhisattva." I'm going to let it go. ”
This old man Ding Peng has been tried several times, without the slightest martial arts, but according to him, he also mixed the rivers and lakes back then, and Ding Peng would be scared to death if he said his name, so it is not good not to say it, Ding Peng only thought he was joking, but it is certain that this old man does not have the slightest skill in his body.
Therefore, Ding Peng was not worried about him making trouble, and quickly untied him, the two little couples watched with blank eyes, but they didn't dare to squeak since they saw Ding Peng, they were really scared by Ding Peng by Li Kun's hand on the day they first came.
Ding Peng swept over the little couple, thought for a while, and also loosened the rope for them, these two people are also ordinary people, the husband is a stonemason, and the wife will have some embroidery female red, because the husband loves to gamble and signed usury money so he had to flee from Gansu to the Western Regions to make a living.
Ding Peng untied the water and food from the saddle and handed it to the old man, the old man immediately devoured it, and the little two stood next to him and looked at the drool, but Ding Peng didn't speak, and the old man was so forgetful that no one paid attention to them at all.
When the old man was half full, he swept to the friends who were in trouble with him, grinned embarrassedly, gave half of the food to the two, and muttered: "Eat, eat, bastard, the bastard is waiting for us, he must be full and let us work." ”
Ding Peng had a smile on his face, although this old man's personality was like a child, his head was not stupid, he coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, you eat slowly, and then talk about it after eating." ”
Ding Peng's words were very polite and gentle, but the little couple couldn't forget who caught them here, and they couldn't forget how ruthless and scaring he was back then, and of course, they couldn't forget the indifference and ruthlessness of tying them up for two days without food or drink.
So no matter how good Ding Peng's words are, the little two are still frightened while eating, I don't know what the purpose of this bad guy is, and what he is going to do next!
Of course, it turned out that they were overthinking, at least this time they were thinking too much, Ding Peng waited for them to finish eating, and did not propose harsh things, but just asked them to help tomorrow, because there will be many new members coming over early tomorrow morning, the old man can help write the names of people and make a register, the mason's husband helps carry the goods and run errands, and the small and careful woman can count the materials and prepare some daily necessities.
Ding Peng just made a simple arrangement, and the further division of labor and arrangements should wait for the personnel to settle down, and then do subdivision and more appropriate scheduling, the most important thing in front of him is to settle the personnel, the second is to build temporary accommodation, and the third is to prepare living materials.
Only by getting these three things done can we start the construction of the sect and build the prototype of the sect.
