Chapter 254: The Sage
More than a month later, a figure descended from Linghan Mountain and walked towards the Lingbei Ice Field.
The strange thing is that neither the towers on the Tang Army's sentry fort, nor the cavalry patrolling on horseback, nor the Cave True Realm Grandmaster stationed in the sentry fort from time to time patrolling the ice field with his divine sense, did not see or sweep this blue-shirted scribe walking leisurely on the ice field, and even a patrol of Tang cavalry galloped in front of him, and they also hurled past him a few feet to the right as if they had not seen anyone.
The blue-shirted scribe walked at this pace across the still frozen Lingbei River.
Likewise, the Oghuz outposts and the patrol cavalry did not see him.
Gradually, the back of the blue-shirted scribe faded away, deep into the north of the ice field.
At this time, Xiao Yan, who had already penetrated deep into the north of Oghus, had no idea that there was a crisis approaching her thousands of miles away in the south.
More than 40 days ago, she secretly followed a caravan that returned to Tucker Ling from the Tangwu border field in the Lingbei Ice Field, and when this merchant group encountered a group of ice wolves attacking them, they came to a chance encounter to "draw a knife to help", and were warmly accepted by the merchant group, and were warmly treated by the owner of the merchant group.
This is a medium-sized merchant group, from the southern city of Phuket City, which is adjacent to the Lingbei Ice Field, and the highest force among the warriors of the group is a late stage warrior of the Ascending Extreme Realm - in the Oghuz Khanate Ascending Extreme Realm, he is called the Great Martial Master, and Xiao Yan, the grandmaster of the Cave True Realm realm, is respected as the Holy Martial Master, and the merchant group actually met a holy martial artist because of a blessing in disguise, and the owner of the merchant group was ecstatic, and tried his best to implore the female saint to accompany him.
Xiao Yan agreed indifferently and arrogantly.
At this time, she was riding a red deer caught in the Lingbei Ice Field, and her face was violent. Exposed to the cold wind of the ice field, it looks like a mixture of yellow-haired Xianbei and Tunguska, with straight light blonde hair, sunken eye sockets, high eyebrow bones, high straight nose bridge, deep facial contours, and fair skin with a cold paleness. After the modification of her facial contours, her too outstanding appearance has been covered by seven points, making people feel not very beautiful but very attractive, her skin is not as delicate as porcelain, her face looks thirty-one and twelve, and her pure temperament has completely changed, her expression is indifferent and wooden, her eyes are sharp and bright, and when she looks at people, she is like a thin blade sweeping, which makes people feel cold, which is in line with her current identity - a holy martial artist who has been cultivating in the ice field for many years, has just advanced, and has a cold and silent temperament.
The whole merchant group had great respect for this female sage.
The living environment of the Oghuz Khanate is cold and harsh, and the people here are more fierce than the Tang people, and they worship the strong in force, and no one dares to disrespect a holy martial artist, who is also a strong ascetic holy martial artist, let alone doubt her identity.
But Xiao Yan's biggest trouble is the language barrier, she can only speak a few words in Xianbei language, and she doesn't understand Tunguska at all, fortunately, she is a cold and silent character, and she is a sage, and the people in the business group dare not come forward to talk to her, only the owner of the business group, a bearded man with a hearty smile, has to come to Xiao Yan's red deer every day and talk endlessly, even if all she gets is a cold word or two "um" "Huh?" It didn't dampen his enthusiasm at all.
The people in the merchant group admired the courage of the merchant owner, and of course it was not surprising that the merchant was so diligent and eager - they were dreaming all day long, dreaming that there was a sage who had the discernment of pearls and took a fancy to his youngest son to take him as an apprentice, even if it was accepted as a servant, if the gods blessed them to meet a sage today, then they would not exhaust all means to get close! …… But this Sage looked very difficult to get along with...... What's more, Bu Liugu is their humble surname, this female saint must have an extraordinary background...... May the gods bless Uncle Afuyu.
Ah Fu Yu is very enthusiastic, every day in front of the sage to say how good their Phuket City is, and the big merchant groups that trade with the Tang Kingdom will stop in Phuket City, all kinds of rare and exquisite goods are countless, and so on. Perhaps his eloquence impressed the female sage, and she stayed in the merchant group and did not leave until seven or eight days later she arrived at Phuket City, the largest city in the south of the Tak Command, and the largest trading city in the south.
At the warm invitation of the merchant owner, Xiao Yan stayed for the time being, and was invited to live in his most luxurious village, accompanied by a dozen articulate maids.
Ah Fu Yu would visit the Holy One diligently every day, sometimes with his youngest son, and almost all the merchants in Phuket City knew that Ah Fu Yu's house lived in a holy nobleman, and he was both envious and jealous, and when he saw him, he teased: "Ah Fu Yu, you can please the Holy One today?" The bearded merchant always shook his head with his hands spread out, and looked proud. - A mid-level merchant in a border city like theirs, who can live in a sage in his home, is a matter of glory and boasting, even if it does not receive any benefits.
More than ten days later, several directors of large business groups from other places came to the door, respectfully handed over the prayer post, and sent precious medicinal materials as a greeting gift. Ascetic holy martial artists such as gold, gemstones, etc., will not be interested, only precious medicinal materials can enter their eyes. Xiao Yan only accepted the worship post and did not see anyone. These big business groups also took it for granted, how could a master be worthy of seeing a holy martial artist, not to mention that he was still out of Buliu.
When Ah Fu Yu came over, Xiao Yan gave him all the prayers and asked him to talk about these big merchant groups one by one.
Of course, these merchant groups sending worship posts are only the first step, and the next step must be to hire this holy martial artist. Although there is no shortage of holy warriors in this kind of nationally renowned large merchant group, no one thinks that there are many holy martial artists, not to mention that it is still Buliu's lonely family, this surname is one of the most powerful nobles in Oghuz, and the new Great Khan, who just ascended the throne a few months ago, is the Buliu Gu clan. Even if you can't hire this Buliu Lonely Sage as you wish, it is necessary to make a good relationship.
Three or four days later, Afu Yu, as a sage walking in Phuket City, paid a return visit to one of the large merchant groups. When several other big merchant groups learned the news, they knew that the Sage had chosen the Surgu Chamber of Commerce, and although they were disappointed, they were not angry or angry. After all, the Sage left behind the precious medicinal materials they sent, which showed that he was appreciative.
The merchant group of the Surgu Chamber of Commerce set off seven days later, and Xiao Yan, as a sage temporarily hired by the merchant group, of course traveled north with the group.
Although Ah Fu Yu did not let his youngest son get the "Insight Pearl" of the Sage as he wished, he also got the guidance of the Sage several times when he went to Bezhuang, and benefited a lot in martial arts.
What's more, he got the job done.
The mole is a spy developed abroad by Jing'an Division.
They are all natives, and they work for Jing'an Division for various reasons, and they are divided into gray squirrels and white mice: gray squirrels know that they are working for the Tang Jing'an Division, while white rats don't know at all, they only think that they are doing things for a big family or a powerful person in China. - Avoyu is a gray mole.
But he has been "hibernating" since he accepted three tasks to test his loyalty ten years ago, and as he gets older, he becomes more anxious, although hibernation is safe, but not receiving the task, which means that he will not be able to fulfill his greatest wish to return to his homeland in his lifetime.
When Ah Fu Yu saw the pattern on the sleeve of the female sage's leather robe, his heart jumped suddenly, and then a line of words appeared in his mind—his expression was solemn, and he knew that this was the holy martial artist's means of transmitting sounds—it was a code word that he had memorized for ten years, and suddenly his heart was excited and terrified: excitedly, the mission had finally come; What kind of difficult task is it to have a Sage issue a mission?
To his surprise, however, his task was extremely simple, and in these twenty days, he had completed his task by teaching the female saint the Xianbei and Tungusic languages, as well as the Xianbei and Tungusic scripts used in daily life.
Of course, although the content of this whole task is simple, it is not so easy to complete it satisfactorily: it takes at least half a year to learn two languages and two languages in twenty days, although it is only used for everyday conversations and writing, even for people with excellent language talents.
However, he was truly amazed by the learning power of this female sage, as long as he spoke it once, pronounced it once, she could completely remember and pronounce it accurately, and the Xianbei and Tunguska characters written could be read and written accurately with just one glance.
He was worried that he would not be able to complete the task in twenty days, but what he saw in front of him proved that he was worried in vain. I couldn't help but think in awe: Or is this the power of the Holy One?
He was right.
Martial arts have entered the realm of grandmasters, and the qualitative change from divine consciousness to divine thoughts, divine consciousness has power, which means that the promotion of the brain domain far exceeds that of ordinary people. Ordinary people may only use ten percent of their brain domain in their lifetime, and a few of the smartest people can reach twenty or even thirty percent, but for grandmaster martial artists, even if not all aspects of brain energy are promoted, but the speed of memory and learning language is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, unless ordinary people have this ability, of course, it is not called ordinary people.
Avoyu rode at the gate of the city, and watched the saint and the merchant depart with a respectful and awe-struck expression.
He didn't know who the sage was, or what she was going to do in the Oghuz Khanate, but that wasn't what he should know, and wasn't what he should be concerned about; The most important thing is to do a good job of the female sage's instruction that "the youngest son died unexpectedly and their family moved away sadly"...... If it is a qiē shun lì, their family will probably be able to spend this autumn in Datang, and the south of the Daqing Mountain in their dreams is their hometown. …… He suddenly burst into tears, but these tears were soon blown cold by the cold wind, and the sleeves of his leather robe brushed away with cold pain.
The caravan convoy traveled north, and most of the places along the way were desolate, and the distance between the towns and cities was also very far apart, often two or three hundred miles apart before a small city was seen. There is no county here, there is a village under the city, and the scale of the city is far less than the state city of Datang, which is equivalent to a county seat of Datang. Of course, this is only what Xiao Yan saw on the border, after all, the Tucker Territory does not belong to the hinterland of Oghuz.
At this time, she was riding a Tucker hippopotamus, wearing a fur hat on her head, and wearing a leather robe of the Xianbei people, the robe was satin-devoid of prosperous and rich ornaments, and it looked a little quaint, which was very suitable for her ascetic status. Because the ascetic martial artists have been alone in a harsh environment all year round to practice martial arts, most of them have a withdrawn temperament, and they don't like or be good at interacting with people, so the people in the merchant group are very conscious not to disturb her, and several other holy martial artists have also kept their distance from her.
Of course, this situation was what Xiao Yan was happy with, and she also took advantage of the time on the road to listen to the conversations of the people in the caravan with her ears and become proficient in her language, while Zifu Zhihai used her divine sense to write Xianbei and Tungusic scripts. Compared with the rich vocabulary of Chinese, the vocabulary of Tungusic and Oghuz Xianbei created by himself is much smaller, and Xiao Yan has memorized both dictionaries, but it takes some time to grammatically.
The reason why he only learned the language after arriving in Oghuz - the Liaodong Murong clan would not lack talents in this area - was because there was a better context in the country of Oghuz, and more importantly, only by staying in the local area for a period of time could Xiao Yan eliminate the aura of a foreigner on his body, when the people in the merchant group first saw her, this aura would make them feel that it was a lonely aura brought out by penance in the ice field, but when it was seen by intelligent and sensitive people, or detected by another holy martial artist, they would feel discordant and suspicious. After all, it is not uncommon for the grandmasters of the two countries to sneak into each other's borders.
Ten days later, the merchant group arrived at Tucker City, the central city of Tucker Territory.
The lord of Tucker City is a Xianbei person, the head of the Bale clan. As the lord of a deserted lord in the south, the status of the Bagel clan in the Oghuz Khanate was obviously not so high, and they could only be regarded as second-rate nobles. When he learned that there was a female sage with the surname of Buliu Gu in the merchant group of the Surgu Chamber of Commerce who entered the city, and it was a mid-stage holy martial artist who looked to be in her early thirties, the lord suddenly couldn't sit still. Regardless of whether this Buliu Lonely Female Sage is from a side branch or a partial branch, but he can really advance to the middle stage of the Sage at the age of thirty or forty, and he is also an ascetic Sage, this is a great talent, and no matter which big family he puts it into, he must be valued as a descendant. What's more, the Great Khan has just issued a summoning order to the lords of various places, and he is about to lead the Tucker Legion to the north, if he can first get in touch with a genius sage of the Buliugu family, and then when he arrives in Shangjing, won't he climb up to the Buliugu family by the way?
The lord of the Balie clan immediately made a decision, and after ordering someone to inquire about the situation of this sage in detail, he prepared a generous gift, and invited one of the strongest holy martial artists in the family to sit in a luxurious carriage guarded by armored cavalry, and went to the high-end inn where the Surgu merchant group stayed to visit this Buliu lonely sage.
