Next Chapter

Great Yuan, to the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan conquered Japan with 200,000 "Jiangnan Army", but due to the raging sea breeze, most of the ships were destroyed, and the main general Fan Wenhu abandoned his troops and fled.

There is a biased general's words: "Kublai Khan made Fan Wenhu abandon me, so that we and the southern army were sent to death, if you look for Penglai Yingzhou in the north, you will rebuild the Great Song Dynasty, and you will not be in trouble." ”

Shi Zai: The wind of the ship led away, and tens of thousands of followers.

Since then, Yingzhou (America) has added a mysterious country.

……

Fifty years later.

Dayuan Liaoyang Province.

The wind was howling and the snow was white.

The sky and the earth were vast, and the entire sky seemed to be soaked in white mist, which made people unable to open their eyes.

A stone house where the catchers were resting while catching Haidongqing and sables emitted hot green smoke, rising faintly in the heavy snow, like a giant dragon taking off into the air.

Crunch.

With one hand, he pushed open the door of the stone house.

Poof, countless snowflakes blew in, the cold wind howled, blowing the stone cracks squeaked, and the fire in the house was blown into sparks, turning into a spark in the sky, and Zhao Liangha, who was stewing meat in the house, was instantly startled.

"Liu Fourteen, there is a gourd!"

Zhao Lianghanai is a Han from the north, and he has more than ten arresters, most of whom are Han people from northern Liaoning, that is, the Han people of the Jin State who were destroyed by the Great Yuan, and their ancestors have Khitan blood, and they have hunted Haidongqing for the royal family for generations.

Today's snow is very strange, there is such a big white snow in the mountains in June, Zhao Liangha lives in northern Liaoning, and he has only seen it twice. I heard Danmenqin (merchant), a Han man from Shanxi who came to sell salt, said that this was because the emperor of Dayuan collapsed, and in this kind of famine year, there were many mountain spirits and monsters in the mountains.

Zhao Liangha shouted, and Liu Shishi, who was cutting vines with a knife next to him, turned around and was also shocked.

There are many birds of prey and big insects in this old forest, such as Haidongqing, silver rats, green rats, mountain cattle and wild boars, etc., and there are often wolves, black blind people and mountain insects......

Even the wild Jurchen, who drank blood, easily did not dare to spend the night in the mountains and forests.

They are the old forest where they hunted Haidongqing, at the junction of Liaoyang and Lingbei, inaccessible, this person can touch and fold here in the white hair snow that can't see the five fingers, isn't it a mountain ghost and a tiger!?

The two of them were surprised, and they both pinched the hilt of their knives and turned sideways, ready to fight.

I took a closer look, but I saw a fierce man wearing animal skins and a bee's waist in the storm at the door, his face was full of wind and frost and he was holding the door frame, his lips were cracked, and he shouted hoarsely in the whistling wind and snow: "Two heroes, can you have tea soup?" ”

"Is it a person?"

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi glanced at each other.

Before he could answer, the man saw the dragon broth they had stewed, and his eyes straightened, and he hurriedly drew the door of the stone house, leaned against the stones, and then threw himself on the stove, and despite the burning heat of the broth, he picked up the birch bark tube that was burning on the fire and rolled it up, scooped up a few mouthfuls of soup, and drank it.

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi were both shocked, Zhao Liangha was holding the hunting knife, seeing that this person was burly and strong, with a tiger's back and a bee's waist, and a heavy long knife behind his back, he thought about it, put the hunting knife down, and grabbed the hunting fork of the wild boar on the side.

"Huhu, thank you for the grace of the two heroes, otherwise, we would have to explain here today."

The man in the animal skin thanked as he sucked the hot soup from the birch bark tube.

He ate very quickly, and the big pot of dragon broth didn't seem to be enough for him to drink alone.

Because he is strong and carries weapons behind his back, Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi secretly said that they may not be able to beat him in this stone house, and the weather is as frosty as frost, if they are injured and can't pay the errand of the official family, they are afraid that they will be exploited by the officials to sell their sons and daughters, and they will have to sell themselves to the rich as slaves.

Therefore, both of them were so shocked that they did not dare to speak, and stared at the strong man in the animal skin.

After drinking all the big pot of Feilong broth, the beast-skinned man put down the pottery pot, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and exhaled a long breath of hot air, then turned his head and grinned: "Two heroes, but the people of Dayuan?" ”

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi glanced at each other.

The two still felt that this person was suspicious, and Zhao Liangha frowned and asked: "Barren mountains and wild mountains, this place is five hundred miles in radius and there is no war, where did you come from?" ”

Zhan Chi is a post station.

Zhao Liangha is not a person who has never seen the market, Dayuan's household records, in addition to the military households and station households, are the ones who hunt households, and the status is higher than that of salt households and artisan households, as for the ninth-class Confucian households, they are still far behind them.

Dayuan's trappers were ordered to go out to hunt all kinds of rare birds and beasts every year, and to offer fur falcons.

The beast-skinned man with a tiger's back and a bee's waist picked up a piece of flying dragon meat, and while gobbling it up, he said to Zhao Liangha and the others: "Two old brothers, we are not bad people, we are a gentleman." ”

"Look at your outfits, is it Orion here?"

Dayuan referred to Taoist priests collectively as "sir".

Hearing this, Zhao Liangha looked at him again, and saw that this person was burly and slender, with clear eyes and a figure, but his cheeks were red and fluttering, as if he was a teenager.

It's just that he is wearing a beast skin jacket, which does not look like a Taoist at all.

Because Genghis Khan revered the living immortal Changchun Zhenren Qiu Ji Xian Fa, Liaoyang and Lingbei provinces, in the time of Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Great Yuan Shizu, the Taoist family was very prosperous, and the Taoist head Zhao Zhijing was sitting on hundreds of thousands of disciples in the world.

However, the Great Emperor Kublai Khan held a debate conference of the Dharma King, convened the leaders of all religions to debate the scriptures, and Zhao Zhijing, the head of the Quanzhen Dao, led hundreds of Taoist priests, but he could not win the debate of the seventeen-year-old monk Ba Si Pa in Tubo, and finally was ordered by the Great Emperor Kublai Khan to be ordained on the spot to practice Buddhism.

Since then, the Quanzhen Taoist family and the Heavenly Master are gradually declining in Lingbei and Liaoyang, and now most of them are monks preaching, and it is rare to see a Taoist priest.

Zhao Liangha was puzzled: "Since you are a Taoist priest who cultivates Taoism, why did you come to this Gada?" ”

The beast-skinned man grinned and said, "The two elder brothers, our name is Chen Sijiu, they are the Heavenly Master Daoist who was ordered by Tiefeng Mountain to go to the Dadu Jixian Academy to refine the pill for the Great Emperor, and he was lost due to the wind and snow before he fell here. ”

Hearing that this beast-skinned man, Chen Sijiu, was a Taoist priest who went to the Dadu Jixian Academy, Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi slowly let down their guard.

The fur man took out the disc again to verify.

The people of Dayuan come and go freely, and they don't need a guide, and the Dao Disc waist card can explain their identity, so the two invited him to sit down and say while roasting the fire.

Dayuan set up Jixian Academy, Chongfu Division, and Hui Ha's office, respectively, in charge of many affairs of the pipe, Buddhism, and Tianfangjiao.

Mr. Taoist priests who can be summoned to Dadu are mostly Taoist masters, at least refining the elixir of the Spring Palace is very powerful, and the right prime minister of Dayuan, Yan Timur, likes the elixir refined by the Taoist very much, and it is said that after taking it, supplemented by the tantric lama's great joy technique, it can control dozens of women every day, and it is powerful.

Taoists know a lot of medical skills, and they often have bruises, swelling and pain, gold sores and miasma that need to deal with Taoists, so Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi are quite polite.

It's just that Chen Sijiu finished a clay pot of Feilong broth alone, and both of them were a little dissatisfied, especially Liu Shijiu, who was rolling his eyes at Chen Sijiu while pounding the clay pot of stewed meat with a soup spoon a few times, and picking up the pieces of meat inside to eat.

Chen Sijiu ignored it, he unwrapped the package behind him, took out a strange-looking giant bow from it, and muttered in his mouth: "The master really didn't lie to me, this Liaobei is a cold dead person, fortunately, we are prepared." ”

He shook the snow on his body, straightened the animal skin jacket, revealing the tiger-like strong shoulder muscles, pursed his mouth and inhaled, but after more than a dozen breaths, his face gradually became ruddy, and a pair of eyes also showed a hawk-like goblin, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Liangha and Liu Shixi, and said with a light smile: "Two old brothers, I ate a pot of broth from you before, let's fight a big worm and eat meat with you." ”

As he spoke, he walked over and pinched Zhao Liangha's wild boar's hunting fork, weighed it in his hand, and said with some regret: "It's lighter, but it's enough." ”

He set the hunting fork on fire and burned it, grinded it on the stone, and then turned back to Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi, who were stunned: "This big worm is hungry in its belly, and it has followed us for more than 200 miles, so let's think it should be hungry and weak!" ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, held his breath until his face was rosy and his eyes were shining, and he pushed open the door of the stone house made of sticks and birch bark, and rolled out of the wind and snow.

"Tiger coming!"

Chen Sijiu roared, his waist was like a big dragon, the force came from the spine, and he used the hunting fork as an arrow to pull the big bow with the horns into a full moon, and his eyes were like a falcon sticking to the arrow string, and in the snowstorm, he instantly locked on the big insect with a person-high eye under the old pine tree not far away.

At this time, his strength was at the peak of the tension of the spine and waist and hips, and as soon as the spirit in his chest was released, an arrow was shot out with a whoosh!

Roar!

In the white-haired snow, a tiger with red eyes and salivating eyes just pounced in mid-air, and was shot in the eye by this arrow, and was swept straight out in the air by the force, and slammed into the hundred-year-old tree to cut off its vitality!

It roared in pain, and the surrounding mountains and forests could be heard, and suddenly the forest frightened birds and flew away, and countless beasts fled.

Chen Sijiu's cold eyes slowly converged, he shook off the snow on his body, and looked sideways at the stone house in the middle of the generations of hunting, because he had never seen such a fierce scene in his life, and the scene of hunting tigers with the power of one person frightened Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi, grinned: "Two heroes, we said that we invited you to eat tiger meat." ”
