Chapter 6: A Visitor from Middle-earth

There is a break in the mountains, which is called a sting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The Great Barren Mountain stretches from east to west, and at the edge of the land of snow, it seems that there is a god from the nine heavens, and it is cut into two sections with an axe, thus forming a mountain, which is called the Flying Fox.

Connecting the plains of the Snow Country and the endless grasslands outside the Great Wilderness Mountain, the Flying Fox is the preferred shortcut to the Snow Country.

However, this place is a barren place on the edge of the country of snow, inaccessible, withered grass and cold smoke. It is only in the autumn of each year that there are merchants and peddlers, walking through the Flying Fox and going to the endless grassland to buy cattle and sheepskin goods.

It stands to reason that in such a barren land, the flying fox should be chaotic and rugged, but this is not the case.

The Flying Fox is mined out of a stone road about a few zhang wide, which can easily accommodate five horses in parallel, and the stone road is paved with neat bluestone slab bricks, even if it has been eroded by wind and rain so far, the Flying Fox Mountain Road for hundreds of miles is still smooth and smooth.

Such a grand occasion is the great stroke of Wen Qugong, the late prime minister of the country of snow.

Therefore, Prime Minister Wen Qugong, even if he is a lonely person like the Thirteenth Waste, he is also like thunder, and his great exploits when he was alive have long been sung by the drama and poetry.

Even the late Prime Minister Wen Qugong has been dead for more than a hundred years.

Wenqu Gong made words, clarified the law, opened the way widely, enlightened the people's wisdom, persuaded farmers to mulberry, made utensils, passed on the art of Jiaxuan, and benefited the people's livelihood.

God-given Wenqu Gong, so that all the people of the snow country broke free from the mushroom hair and drank blood, the abyss of ignorance, Wenqu Gong ignited the fire of civilization here.

The land of snow still bears the almost godlike legend of Wenqu Gong.

There are popular stories such as Yugong moving mountains, Jingwei reclamation, cowherd weaving cows, etc.

Now in every county capital and state city of the Snow Country, there is a cold ice statue of Wenqu Gong, which has not melted for a hundred years.

In fact, the late Prime Minister Wen Qugong is not from the Land of Snow, but from the Middle-earth world in the south of the endless grassland.

Legend has it that Middle-earth was a very rich Elysium, where the people were rich, the barns were full, the etiquette was cultivated, the road was not forgotten, and the night was not closed......

Legend has it that there are nine suns in the sky in Middle-earth, born in the valley of the soup and set in the abyss......

Just like the barley wheat in Middle-earth can grow ten ears of wheat, anyway, Middle-earth is a distant paradise for every citizen of the Snow Country.

In his later years, Wenqu Gong missed his homeland, so he sent tens of thousands of people to dig the Flying Fox Mountain, in order to see the distant homeland, and then left this Flying Fox Mountain Road.

At this time, on the mountain road of the Flying Fox, several horses, pulling a carriage full of goods, slowly drove up, which must be the return of merchants heading to the endless grassland in autumn.

The caravan turned around a bend in the mountain, and suddenly there was an explosion, and a huge tree rolled down from the cliff, right across the mountain road, blocking the caravan's way.

From the mountains and forests on both sides, more than a dozen vigorous figures emerged, all dressed in animal skins, and their faces were full of fierceness.

"This mountain is my ......"

The three-year-old children in the country of snow know that the Flying Fox Mountain Road was built by the late Prime Minister Wenqugong, but in the face of robbers in the mountains, it is difficult to say.

Out of the caravan came a dark-skinned man, like the principal of this caravan, "Ladies and gentlemen of the mountains, I am ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a feathered arrow flew across his cheek and landed on the carriage, as if the robbers had no intention of making peace.

Either get killed, or get out of here!

Despite all their reluctance, the caravan had no choice but to flee quickly, for fear of angering the robbers and ending up with both wealth and life.

So a farcical robbery ended hastily.

The wagons were full of cattle and sheepskins, which were not of much value to the mountain robbers, and the trade was a little unworthy. After searching for a long time, a huge wooden box was finally found from a carriage.

More than a dozen robbers immediately gathered excitedly, and one of the robbers opened the box excitedly, and was greeted by a smiling face full of disdain.

"Suffering a thousand cuts.... Brothers, hurry up and ......"

"That killer is here again......"

By the time the Wild Thirteen came out of the wooden box, the dozen or so fierce robbers had already run out of smoke, and they sat in the carriage and sighed.

I forgot when, the Wild Thirteen found this Flying Fox Mountain Road in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and every autumn, many green forest heroes will come out and do some robbery on the Flying Fox Mountain Road.

For this kind of unearned robbery, Arazo hates it the most, which violates his life principle of "gains and losses".

So he happily pulled out his back teeth and killed one piece after another, but this robber in the mountains was like a leek in the field, cutting stubble after stubble.

In the end, he was really tired of killing, so he changed to hiding in the shadows and playing tricks, which finally made him find a lot of fun.

Of course, his demon king notoriety also spread for hundreds of miles inside and outside the Great Wilderness Mountain.

But today, he found that even the pleasure of playing tricks on robbers was gradually leaving him, filled with only endless emptiness and lingering hunger.

It didn't take long for the merchant who had just escaped to return, saluted the Wild Thirteen, and drove the carriage away without much nonsense.

It can be seen that he is not doing chivalry for righteousness, but just to find some fun. Since he grew up to be the king of the periphery of the Great Wilderness Mountain, the monotonous years have made him feel a little dead.

He had wanted to break free from this situation, but the world was boundless, where could he go?

Arasan sat on the bluestone on the side of the mountain road and continued to be in a daze.

I don't know how long later, an ox cart came from the bend of the mountain, and the sound of "squeaking" broke the silence of the Flying Fox Ancient Road.

There is a wind chime hanging on the ox cart, which rustles in the mountain wind, and has a different taste.

Arazo immediately noticed the ox cart coming, and somehow stood up and blocked the front of the ox cart.

When the ox cart approached, he saw that it was an old green ox that was pulling the cart, the bull's eyes were cloudy, and the green hair on the ox's body had fallen off, revealing its ringworm-like skin.

The old green cow walked very slowly, as if he was about to collapse to the ground weakly in the next step.

The old green cow found that the Wild Thirteen was blocking its way, and then slowly stopped, and the man and the cow looked at each other on the mountain road for a moment.

The Wild Thirteen looked at the old green cow on the opposite side with disdain, the old green cow turned his head lightly, and when it realized that the person blocking the road did not mean to dodge, it immediately bent its front hooves and fell directly on the mountain road to rest.

As the green ox fell down, the ox cart on top of it of course leaned forward and became a slope, and with an exclamation, an old man with a white beard rolled out of the ox cart, and then fell to the ground.

However, at this time, Wild Thirteen's face was full of surprise, and what surprised him was not the old man with rough skin, but the cyan robe on the old man's body.

He knew that the cloth for sewing clothes was called hemp, just as he wore it, and he had heard that there was a more expensive cloth called fine linen, but fine linen was also linen, but it was finer than coarse linen.

And the old man's clothes, just looking at them, felt softer than linen, a fabric he had never seen before.

How could there be something in this world that he had never seen and could not imagine?

So he took a few steps forward and approached the old man on the ground, intending to take a look, the old man seemed to be asleep just now, and finally woke up in a daze, shaking his head to look at the wild thirteen who came over.

"Huh...... The old man sees you as vulgar and unruly, full of fierceness, and like a spirit ape, could it be that you are a monkey in this mountain?"

Arasan didn't understand the other party's words at all, but he was still shocked again, because the old man's words were full of a mighty and heavy meaning, not at all as frivolous as the slang of the Snow Country.

Again, this is a language that is completely beyond the land of snow.

The old man seemed to have thought of something when he saw the blank look of the Wild Thirteen, and smiled like a maniacal smile.

"Haha.... It's the old man Meng Lang, presumably I have come to the realm of the Far North Snow Country. ”

"Old man Shen Tujia is a wandering wise man in Middle-earth!"

These two sentences are understood by the Wild Thirteen, and they are the common slang of the Snow Country. At this time, his mind went blank, Middle-earth ?...... Middle-earth?

"I... I'm a robber!"

Yes... The Thirteen are ready to rob, because countless legends have shown that Middle-earth is a place of abundance as heaven. Thinking of this, Arazo was a little impatiently excited.

For a while, I felt that my heart was not empty, and even the lingering hunger was a little lighter.

As for whether this old man is really from Middle-earth? how can it be fake, how can the land of snow have such soft clothes, how can he speak such a charming language?

The old man Shen Tujia listened to Huang Thirteen's words, Shi Shiran stood up, waved his long sleeves in the air, and then rolled up to his back, raised his head slightly, and turned around a few times.

This kind of style makes the Wild Thirteen feel provoked, but there is a bit of yearning in his heart for no reason.

"The old man has no money to grab.... The old man only has knowledge..... The book has its own golden house. ”

"Knowledge?" This is a new word for Arajusan Thirteen, of course he doesn't know what the so-called knowledge is?

Shen Tujia instantly saw through his mind and smiled faintly.

"Knowledge is, why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west, why does the four seasons alternate in a year, and where is the end of heaven and earth?"

"Knowledge is, why does the earth rise and fall, why is the sky blue, why are trees and flowers born?"

"Knowledge is, where do we come from, where do we go?"

"With knowledge, you will find that heaven and earth have a different appearance, just like the earth, but in fact it is a ball!"

Wild Thirteen has finally had enough, could it be that the legend is false? Middle-earth is not Elysium at all, and the people there are a bunch of fools?

"How can the earth be a ball?"

Shen Tujia shook his head in disappointment when he heard Wild Thirteen's question, and looked at Wild Thirteen's gaze, as if he was looking at an uncarnable stubborn stone, so the atmosphere was a little silent, only the sound of the old green cow chewing.

"The earth is indeed a ball. ”

A light and tactful voice floated out of the ox cart, and a petite and lovely figure timidly drilled out of the ox cart, a delicate little lady.

Wild Thirteen suddenly exploded, and flew out a few meters away at once, and his head suddenly turned pale.

It's not because the little lady's clothes are more beautiful, as soft as clouds in the sky;

It's not because the little lady is in the cold autumn of the Great Wilderness Mountain, but she is thinly dressed, and the wild thirteen can easily see the little lady's white skin through the silk clothes;

Woman?... Female creatures?

In the town at the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain, Wild Thirteen has come into contact with a lot of women, but he has never smelled the breath of a female from them.

But today, he felt it in this petite little lady.

In the Great Wilderness Mountains, female creatures have a transcendent status. Male beasts rule the forest, while females rule the entire population.

Because of the education he received in the Great Barren Mountain, the Wild Thirteen had an inexplicable awe of female creatures.

When the girl saw the expression of the Wild Thirteen, she thought that the other party was surprised because of her thin clothes, and smiled, and immediately stood on the ox cart with a salute over any scenery in the mountains.

"Big brother is good.... My name is Xue Linlang, I am sick, I like cold and afraid of heat since I was a child......"

Arazo left without answering, or rather escaping, but he didn't go far but fell far behind the ox cart.

His mood at this time was very complicated, with fear in his joy, he had been indifferent for more than ten years, and the moment he saw the girl, his mood finally changed.

It turned out that this was the breath of a female? a terrible feminine breath that he couldn't extricate himself!

Arazo followed the ox cart for a long time, and he heard the old man named Shen Tujia stroking the piano, reading, chanting, and writing poems.......

The little lady named Xue Linlang sang in the wind and danced under the moon.

The heart of the Thirteenth Wasteland, I don't know where it drifted in the song?

He spotted a flat-haired beast in the sky, seemingly stalking the ox cart!

Finally one day, the Wild Thirteen secretly left, and the little lady Xue Linlang seemed to look at him timidly.

When the ox cart was about to drive out of the Flying Fox, a snow-white beast shadow like a small mountain flew out from the cliff next to the mountain road, and the Wild Thirteen jumped out of Xiaobai's body again, soaring straight into the sky, and the reverse teeth in his hand were thrown out like a long dragon.

The flat-haired beast that was being followed didn't have time to scream before his head was smashed by the back teeth.

Wild Thirteen fell from the sky, Xiaobai caught him in the air in time, and the cooperation of one person and one song was extremely tacit. I don't know when an ice bridge condensed on the cliff, and Xiaobai was landing steadily on it.

Arasan carried his bags and back teeth and said a word to the ox cart. "You still owe me a hijacking?" and then jumped into the ox cart and sat down on the wheel.

He didn't say anything superfluous, just sat there quietly, his face flushed for no apparent reason.

The old green cow who pulled the cart was a little shorter, and he glanced back dissatisfiedly, and the light laughter in the cart flashed, as if he was afraid of scaring someone away again.

The ox cart finally drove out of the Flying Fox, and Xiao Bai stood on the top of the mountain and waved his paws, grinning.

The Thirteen Wild Thirteen seemed to be looking for something to leave the Great Wilderness Mountain, and since then, there has finally been a king on the periphery of the Great Wilderness Mountain, and his name is Xiaobai.
