Murong Yunqing helped the man up, and at this time, the chasing horse behind had also arrived. The horse thieves led by them saw the people here and shouted; "There are women, there are women." The rest of the thieves were excited, shouted, and rushed straight at them brandishing their sabers.

The goose waited for a group of horse thieves to come to him, rubbed his body and stood up, his long sword stabbed continuously, each sword hit the throat, and the few people who ran in front fell off their horses one after another, and the blood in their necks couldn't help but gush out.

The other four horses rushed to the other side, only to hear a few clicks, the speed of the four horses did not decrease, and rushed straight past, but everyone on the back of the horse had no head, but the body still maintained the posture of riding a horse, and ran into the distance. Xiao Ning'er had two swords in her hands, her face was covered with frost, and with the sound of a bang, four heads fell to the ground and rolled down the sand slope. Murong Yunqing gave a thumbs up and praised: "Ning'er is good at swordsmanship." ”

The rest of the thieves in the back saw that several accomplices were in different places in the blink of an eye, and they were all terrified, how dare they go any further, and they turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives. Xiao Ning'er said: "Look who kills more." ”

"Okay." The goose replied without worry. The two of them started light work, one left and one right chased after them, and the swords fell in their hands, and the horse thieves died one after another. Leng Xiaoxiao thought of the scene of the right talent, and secretly thought that if he hadn't met a few of his own people and replaced them with ordinary passers-by, the consequences would have been extremely tragic. These horse thieves do many evils, and they kill one more.

Tamu and the other three porters were dumbfounded at first, and the more they looked at it, the more surprised they became, and in the end, they were already dancing loudly: "Good kill." "As locals, they know best how cruel horse thieves can do to the people. On the other side, Tang Xiyao and Murong Yunqing, who were already languishing, were also in good spirits at this time, counting Yan Xiao and the others.

After a while, the horse thieves had been slaughtered, and only the last horse was still galloping, Tang Xiyao shouted with all his strength: "Wuwuzi and Ning'er are now seven. ”

Xiao Ning'er leaned slightly when she heard this, and rushed out like an arrow, leaving the goose behind her in an instant. Leng Xiaoxiao looked at it clearly on the high slope, and praised it: "Qixiu's 'butterfly feet' body method, when the real name is true, but the posture is so good-looking." ”

I saw Xiao Ning'er quickly chasing to the side of the horse thief, and when the guy saw this, he waved his saber and cut it. Xiao Ning'er sneered, and was about to draw her sword, when she suddenly heard a swishing sound of breaking the sky, and a white light came from behind and shot into the back of the horse thief, and the man flew out of the saddle and fell to the ground, killing him instantly. There is a blade stuck in his back, which is the Lingxiao Sword of Yan Wuwu.

Xiao Ning'er said angrily: "You are cheating." Yan Wuwu grinned and took back the sword, and said: "Killing thieves and eliminating harm depends on their ability." Willing to gamble and lose is the style of a general. After speaking, he hummed a little song and returned the same way, only leaving Xiao Ning speechless angrily.

Leng Xiaoxiao shouted: "Look at their water immediately." ”

Yan Wuwu patted his head and said, "Yes, no matter how bad these guys are, they have to drink water." He and Xiao Ning'er brought back the horses scattered everywhere one by one, and sure enough, they found water bags on each horse, and several people cheered loudly, and drank the cow in pain. Tang Xiyao fed Ye Suiyun a few sips before drinking it herself. Murong Yunqing hugged Xiao Ning'er, closed his eyes, seemed to be slowly reminiscing, and said, "What kind of elixir and jade dew, it's all nonsense." I learned today that only water is the most wonderful drink in the world. ”

Tamu pulled back the wooden cart of the horse thief in the distance with a camel, and said with a smile: "There is still a lot of water on the cart, and this time it is enough to drink." His face changed as he spoke.

When everyone saw him staring at the back of the car, they all stepped forward to look. I was shocked to find that there were several bloody human heads hanging outside the cart, strung together with hemp rope, and kept shaking. Tang Xiyao and Murong Yunqing covered their mouths and exclaimed in a low voice. At this time, I saw the man who had just been rescued, rushed up and fell to the ground and cried. Apparently these heads were people he knew.

Yan Wuwu said angrily: "I can only hate these thieves for coming too little, otherwise Dao Ye will definitely kill him cleanly." When they saw that the man was pitiful, they also spoke of comfort. Leng Xiaoxiao asked the reason, and the man stopped crying for a while and said what had happened. It turned out that his name was Heiniu, a shepherd, and his family lived in the Daquan River Valley. It is said that it is a river valley, but in fact it is a low-lying land, and it is also extremely lacking in water. Therefore, in order to graze, it is necessary to always look around for green space. In the past few days, he and several brothers and uncles of the clan drove the sheep together, and ate and stayed on the road for several days and nights, and unconsciously walked to the vicinity of Mingsha Mountain, but unfortunately ran into the blue wolf gang, not only hundreds of sheep were robbed, but the rest of the brothers and uncles of the same clan were also killed, and he was the only one who escaped. The black bull cried and said: "It's all to blame for Horazha, the uncle has already said that there are horse thieves in Mingsha Mountain, but he didn't listen, and as a result, he killed everyone." He cried again.

The crowd did not know how to comfort him, and now they wanted him to go home alone, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not meet the bandits again, so they had to let him ride a horse and follow the team. After that, the road was uneventful, and nothing happened. After another day and night, Tamu estimated that he would be able to reach Longmen Town in two days.

Yan Wuwu fetches water from the board cart with the flag of the Blue Wolf Gang, and sees that something in the car seems to be covered by cowhide. He stepped forward and lifted them, revealing several new bundles of steel guns, all of which were roped and placed in the car, glistening in the sun.

Yan Wuwu hurriedly beckoned a few people to come, and everyone was puzzled after seeing it, Tamu said: "Horse thieves and bandits mostly use short guys such as knives and axes, and many also use bows and arrows, but they have never heard of using long spears. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao took a closer look, and saw that the tail of each gun had the words 'Tiance Mansion' cast with wax seals, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately remembered that these guns were the materials that were sent to the customs by himself a few months ago, how could they appear here.

Leng Xiaoxiao is suspicious, and it is difficult to calm down. Secretly thinking that since the current matter is related to the Tiance Mansion, he must not sit idly by, and must find out, he thought about it again and again, and said to everyone: "Brother Ye is still in a coma, I shouldn't have left at this time, but it is related to the safety of the Tiance soldiers, as the commander, I must go this time." I have to go to Longmen Town first, and when I understand the matter, I will meet you. ”

Yan Wuwu listened to his words and said: "It's all my fault that my hands are too fast, I knew this was the case, I should have left a few live mouths to ask for clarity yesterday, and I will go with you." Xiao Ning'er glanced at it and said, "According to what you say, I am also at fault, so count me in." "With the help of these two masters, Leng Xiaoxiao is naturally happy, but in this way, only Tang Xiyao and Murong Yunqing are left, wouldn't it be bad if they encounter any danger again.

Tamu said: "Don't worry, my lord, we have already walked on the official road, and there will be no more horse thieves." Leng Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved, and thought that even if he really met a villain, ordinary characters, it was expected that Murong Yunqing and Tang Xiyao would be able to deal with it. He asked Tamu about the location of the Blue Wolf Gang, and then the black bull rushed out and said, "I know, I will take you there, just over there in Mingsha Mountain." When the people saw him speak, they gritted their teeth, presumably determined to take revenge.

After a few people left, Tamu and the others drove the camels to continue to advance. Tang Xiyao sat in the car and took care of Ye Suiyun. Murong Yunqing rode beside her, chatting with her with a match.

After walking like this for a long time, they were met by a team coming towards them. Tamu reminded loudly, Tang Xiyao was surprised when he looked closely, and saw that there were six people in that group, and the strange thing was that five of them were all little girls about ten years old, and only one was a little older, about fifteen or sixteen years old, they were all wearing bright red long veils, and they couldn't tell how weird they looked.

When they came closer, the elder girl at the head bowed with her hands crossed around her shoulders and said, "Please give us some water, and the god Ahura will bless you." ”

Tamu waved his hand and shouted, "Go, go, we don't have enough water to drink, so how can we give you any surplus." ”

The girl begged, "Please, I may not drink it, but please give my sisters a little, they have not drunk water for two days." ”

Tang Xiyao saw that the girls standing behind were all dusty and had dishes on their faces. The youngest was no more than seven or eight years old, and he couldn't help but purse his lips when he looked at himself. Tang Xiyao felt pity in his heart and said to Tamu: "Uncle,. These little sisters are very pitiful, so give them some water."

When Tamu heard this, he said: "Girl, it's not that I don't want to help them, the water here is only enough for us to barely use Longmen Town, if... ”

Murong Yunqing interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, just give them my share and that of my junior sister, and I won't let you be thirsty, uncle." ”

Tamu had no choice, and with reluctance on his face, he poured the water into a bowl and distributed it to the six girls. The girls looked apparently thirsty to the extreme, but when they saw the water, they did not recklessly scramble, but handed them one by one, starting with the youngest one. Drink only two sips per person and drink water in turn. Finally to the leading girl.

Murong Yunqing inquired about their origins and learned that the leading girl was named Mayena, and she and the rest of the sisters in the sect were preaching in this place. When Tang Xiyao heard the word missionary, he blurted out and asked, "Are you from the Cardinal Sect?" ”

Mayana was stunned for a moment and replied: "My sister must have guessed based on our clothes, yes, we used to be red-clothed people, but then we received a revelation from the God of Light, which allowed us to break through the chaos, awaken our conscience, and get back on track." Now I am running around with all the sisters in the Church to save the many believers who are trapped in the demonic barrier of the Cardinal, so that they can recognize the evil nature of the Cardinal Religion and no longer be confused. ”

Murong Yunqing heard it and said, "In a word, you are not from the Cardinal Sect?" Mayena nodded, and bowed to Tang Xiyao again, "The god Ahura will bless the kind. Tang Xiyao let down her guard, smiled slightly, and said no more. After saying goodbye to Mayena and the others, he continued on his way.

A few people spent the night in the desert, erected the sun, walked for a few hours, and saw that a lot of green grass appeared sparsely around them, and it was not all desert, and everyone felt a little relieved. When he walked to a place, he saw a village in front of him from a distance, and Tamu said, "Girl, let's go to the village to ask for some water." Tang Xiyao knew that there was not much water left in the car, so he naturally agreed.

When I got closer, I found that the village in front of me was dilapidated and uninhabited. The most terrifying thing is that many houses are hung with white flags, and paper money is scattered everywhere on the ground. Coupled with the unusual quiet, the whole village seems a little eerie.

Several people stopped at the entrance of the village, all of them were a little weak-hearted, and they didn't know whether to go in or not. Just as he was hesitating, he heard a cough from the village. When everyone heard someone, they hurriedly followed the sound to find it, turned a few corners, and saw an old man sitting in front of his house, smoking a cigarette pouch, and the cough just now was caused by him.

Tamu stepped forward and said, "We are passing travelers, and there is not enough water in the desert, so we have come to ask the old man for some water." When he finished speaking, the old man didn't seem to hear at all, and he didn't even look at him, but kept smoking his cigarette pouch.

Several people looked at each other, thinking that the old man would not understand, so Tamu had to speak again in Uighur, but the old man was still indifferent. Now everyone has no idea, and they don't know what this strange old man is doing. In addition, the scene in the village was already weird, and several people couldn't help but panic.

The other porter said, "Brother Tamu, this old guy can't be deaf, he can't hear you at all." Tamu said: "Even if you are deaf, you should look at us, how can you just stare at the front in a daze." ”

Tang Xiyao seemed to think of something, got out of the car and walked over, and said, "I just heard the cough of the old man, I guess you go to sleep at night every day, and get up at the fourth watch." I don't know if I'm right? ”

The old farmer finally put down the cigarette pouch slowly, looked at Tang Xiyao, and asked, "How do you know?" "It was pure Central Plains Chinese.

Tang Xiyao smiled slightly, thinking that you would pretend again, but said, "Because the root cause of your cough is caused by this." ”

The old farmer said: "You girl is really nonsense, my old man goes to bed early and gets up early every day, but it is harmful to the body." ”

Tang Xiyao nodded and said, "You don't believe it? I also know that your cough is not an accumulation, but a fixed occurrence at this time of year every year, right? ”

The old farmer looked at Tang Xiyao suspiciously, as if he was being said, Tang Xiyao said again: "Do you want to know, how did I know?" The old farmer hesitated for a moment, nodded, and Tang Xiyao said, "Then please ask the old man to prepare some water for us first?" ”

The old farmer smiled, knocked the pipe on the sole of his shoe a few times, and said, "Come in." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and followed the old man into the courtyard of the farmhouse, and saw several large vats in the corner of the courtyard. The old man lifted the bamboo strip covering the mouth of the cylinder, and it was full of water. A few people were elated, and while thanking the old peasant, they drank enough, and Tamu and the others went to the camel cart outside to get the utensils and put them.

Tang Xiyao asked, "Why is this village so depressed?" ”

The old man said: "The village was slaughtered by the Valley of the Wicked." After saying that, he didn't look back and went into the house. Tang Xiyao and Murong Yunqing glanced at each other, and they couldn't imagine that the wicked Gu was really as cruel and ferocious as rumored.

The old man invited Tang Xiyao to come into the house and sit down, and then after a violent cough, he said softly: "The gangsters from the Valley of the Wicked rushed into the village, killed nine out of ten villagers, and looted all the valuable items. I left a dozen old people of my age to clean up the corpses. Tang Xiyao said angrily: "It's really lawless. ”

The old farmer said, "Is there any way?" In this territory, the state officials have no control. He poured a bowl of tea for Tang Xiyao and asked, "Now you can tell me, what's going on with this disease." ”

Tang Xiyao said: "Summer March, known as Fanxiu, is the most lush and beautiful season of the year. In this season, every night, the weather drops, the earth rises, the heaven and earth intersect, the plants bloom and bear fruit, and the growth is the most vigorous. For people, they should go to sleep late at night and get up before dawn in order to adapt to the summer weather, so that the qi can be unobstructed and vented freely. ”

The old farmer seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and listened silently, Tang Xiyao said to him: "Uncle, you sleep too early every day, and you get up too early, which goes against Xia Chang's qi, and in the long run, this causes damage to the lungs." Originally, this didn't matter, but unfortunately you are mostly in a dry place like a desert, and your body has lost the nourishment of water and gas, so you have a dry cough every summer. ”

The old farmer asked, "According to you, how can I cure this cough?" ”

Tang Xiyao said: "It's very simple, as long as the daily sleeping time is slightly adjusted, you can heal yourself without medicine." ”

The old farmer said: "According to you, what if it is spring? ”

Tang Xiyao said: "Spring in March, it is called Chen. It is the season when all things germinate, the heaven and the earth are natural, the most vibrant, you should sleep at night, get up at the fourth watch, just like the old man. I dare to assert that every spring is the time when you are at your healthiest and most vigorous. ”

The old farmer nodded frequently and said, "Yes, yes, what you girl said is right." It turns out that my cough is the reason, and the sleeping time in autumn and winter can be inferred in turn. The little girl is not simple. ”

Tang Xiyao was quite proud and said: "I didn't find out this either, I'm not so capable, it's all said in the medical books." ”

"What medical book?" The old farmer asked.

Tang Xiyao felt interesting and asked, "What, does the old man also want to learn?" That is recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" 'Four Tempering Divine Treatises'. ”

The old farmer said suddenly: "No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that this broken Lao Shizi is really useful, no wonder mediocre people like Lao Sun have to study for many years." However, I don't care to read these so-called ancient medical books, which are actually deceitful and famous. ”

Hearing that his tone was wrong, Tang Xiyao was a little surprised and asked, "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

The old farmer turned his head, his eyes were like knives, and he smiled and said, "Little girl, it's quite similar." Did Old Man Sun send you to demonstrate to me? ”

Tang Xiyao only felt a chill on his spine, and forced himself to calm down and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The old farmer said: "If it weren't for Sun Simiao's apprentice, who else could stand in front of me for so long without falling?" ”

Tang Xiyao was shocked to realize that there was no movement in the courtyard at all, she hurriedly opened the door curtain and rushed out, only to see Murong Yunqing and the three porters all lying on the ground, life and death unknown.
