Chapter 541 - Exotic
On the rest of the way, because of the scarface leading the way, I avoided some unnecessary troubles.
Generally speaking, the activity area of the sand bandits is relatively fixed, and in the harsh environment of the desert, it is impossible to travel long distances to loot, because the pay is not proportional to the return, and the uncertainty is too great!
Anyone who has a little brain knows how to wait for work, wait for the rabbit, and wait for the prey to come to the door by itself is the best.
Also active in this area, Scarface can roughly determine a relatively safe route through the intersection of the bandits' forces.
Lin Yan wasn't sure if there were any other forces that had received orders to attack and kill the spirit child, but there was no need to investigate this kind of thing, as long as it could reduce the conflict.
In fact, Lin Yan was a little cautious, a master of the level of Scarface was not possessed by every sand bandit organization, otherwise the strength of the sand bandit would be too huge!
In the nearby area, the only people with the strength of the acquired realm are Scarface's gang of sand bandits, and this is one of the reasons why he was bought. However, after a short contact with Jueyuan, Lin Yan judged that the purpose of the other party's sending Scarface should be just a temptation!
Now, his own side is in the light and the enemy is in the dark, Lin Yan feels that there is a pair of eyes in the dark that are always paying attention to him, which makes him feel like he is on his back!
Along the way, there were only some poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions in the desert that caused some damage, after all, the caravan was mostly ordinary people, which was inevitable.
After passing through this area without danger, the caravan finally saw the city, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking, "Finally, we can take a rest!" ”
The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "Ahead is Jieluo City, all the materials are available, you can stay temporarily." ”
Lin Yan nodded.
Walking in the desert all the time is not only a test of the body's ability to withstand the harsh environment, but also a test of the state of mind.
Constantly facing the same barren scenery, people's hearts will gradually become numb, and if you are a person with a poor will, it is not impossible to collapse!
Of course, this kind of thing can't happen to Lin Yan and others, but it's also a little tired. Especially for women such as Mingya, it is still very uncomfortable for them not to be able to take a bath for a long time.
In the past few days, Mingya has deliberately kept a distance from Lin Yan, probably because she doesn't want her beloved to smell some smells, but now she is naturally a little happy when she sees the city!
There were guards outside the city, and the old shopkeeper was obviously not the first time to do business, so he was familiar with these things, showed the guards the way, and then stuffed some benefits without a trace, and the caravan entered the city smoothly.
"It seems that no matter where there is, there is the existence of the so-called 'human sophistication'!" Lin Yan thought so in his heart.
It seems to have become the tacit consensus that the sergeants defending the city demanded some favors. Especially for caravans, more trouble can be avoided by paying a small price, and the guards can also get benefits, which can be regarded as a win-win situation, and the above is also turning a blind eye to this.
This phenomenon also existed in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, not to mention the barren land of the Northern Desert, where the caravans that came and went contributed to the additional taxes of the city to a certain extent.
After entering the city, the vendors on both sides of the street are enthusiastically selling, in front of them is a dazzling array of goods, although the city is far less prosperous than the Tang Kingdom, but it is quite lively.
Occasionally, you can see exotic women wearing Luo skirts and light veils covering their faces. Different from the women of the Central Plains, their dress style is quite bold, wearing small clothes on the upper body, and some bright metal ornaments are pendant, tightly wrapped in roundness, and the spring light leaks from time to time.
Further down is the flat abdomen, different from the fair skin of the Tang women, their skin presents a healthy wheat color, perhaps due to the hot climate of the Northern Desert, with a different kind of beauty!
The Luo skirt on the lower body is also like a small coat, with various metal ornaments pendant, and the waist and limbs jingle between twists, and the sound is crisp and pleasant.
The slit of Luo's skirt stretched upwards, approaching the unseeable place, and the tight long legs poked out of it, like a swift female leopard, attracting everyone's attention.
The face of the lightly veiled woman loomed, and her exposed eyes flickered, as if she could speak, stirring the traveler's mind.
"Is this an exotic place?" Everyone in the caravan thought in their hearts, and even though some of them were not the first time they had seen them, they couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.
The woman in the Central Plains is subtle, where would she behave like this. Under the concept of Confucianism, even the women in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion will not be so "explicit", which is the difference in folk customs!
Naturally, Lin Yan's gaze couldn't help but stay for a moment, and then he was keenly aware that there was a gaze beside him, so he hurriedly put away his gaze and concentrated on moving forward.
Monk Chen's voice came from behind him, and said, "I thought the Northern Desert was all bald donkeys, but I didn't expect it...... Hey! ”
Guo Toad complained: "This is the territory of Buddhism, if people hear you call them 'bald donkeys', be careful to overtake you directly!" ”
After a pause, he elbowed Monk Chen and said, "Hey, monk, do you want to ask for someone to go back to be your daughter-in-law?" Oh, I almost forgot, you're a monk, you can't marry a wife, I'm sorry! ”
Monk Chen was furious and said, "Lao Tzu is just called a monk, not a real monk!" Then he suddenly reacted and said, "You toad is scolding Lao Tzu for being a 'bald donkey'? I'm not done with you! ”
The two were arguing, but Lin Yan just shook his head when he saw this, and did not intervene. Their pair of partners is a happy rival, they can live and die together at critical moments, and they can also gag and hurt each other a few words on weekdays.
At this moment, Mingya's voice came faintly, and said, "Xiao Yanzi, do you like this too?" ”
Lin Yan's spirit shook violently, his mind had never been so clear, and he said: "I'm different from them!" ”
Then, he leaned close to Mingya's ear and whispered, "I only like you!" ”
In an instant, the girl's cheeks were visibly red, her earlobes were crystal clear, and her eyes were bent into crescents, obviously very satisfied with this answer.
The caravan found a large inn to live in, the old shopkeeper and Dulong and the others all had their own guest rooms, while the other guys lived in the Chase Shop, after all, they were here to work, not to enjoy.
However, the environment of the inn is many times better than that of the barren desert, so no one is dissatisfied.
It is worth mentioning that Lingtong and the old shopkeeper live in the same room, and Jueyuan is on the side to protect, obviously attaching great importance to it!
Lin Yan naturally does not lack some gold and silver now, but he knows very well the truth of "wealth is not exposed", although in the city, it is better to avoid some unnecessary troubles, it is better to keep a low profile.
Monk Chen and Guo Toad have one room, Ming Ya and Miao Miao are together, and Hua Gu and Lin Yan have one each.
After Mingya and the others returned to the room, when the painting bone passed by Lin Yan's side, her bewitching cheeks came to Lin Yan's side, her red lips opened lightly, and she said coquettishly: "My sister's figure is better than theirs!" If my brother wants to see it, it's not impossible. ”
Without waiting for Lin Yan to react, she just retreated, and while bringing a burst of fragrant wind, she threw a wink at Lin Yan, and a few words came out silently on her red lips: "Wait~you~Yo!" ”
Then, the figure receded into the room and disappeared.
Lin Yan shook his head helplessly, and secretly said in his heart: "What a demon girl!" ”
Naturally, he didn't think that he would make the women of the world fall in love at first sight, and it was even more impossible for a woman like a painting to be like this, it should be more of a temptation, she wanted to get more information from herself.
As for whether this was an instinct for intelligence gathering or something else, Lin Yan didn't know, but for the time being, he and Momen were on the same front, so he didn't need to care too much.
He still doesn't know what specific plans Momen has now, at least there is no specific news from the painting bones.
However, Lin Yan doesn't like to put his fate in the hands of others, and if he wants to successfully rescue Mo Xu, then entering the nine-story pagoda smoothly is the key!
And there are many masters of the Buddhist Sect where Lingshan is located, and Lin Yan once caused a big turmoil in the Buddhist Sect, and now the wanted notice may not be revoked, and the Buddhist Sect will not easily forget this matter.
As a result, it is extremely difficult to infiltrate without being aware of the ghosts. Maybe as soon as he stepped into the range of the pagoda, Lin Yan would be discovered and suppressed by the people of the Buddhist sect, and at that time, it would really be "stealing chickens and rice"!
"Perhaps, that spirit boy can come in handy!" Lin Yan thought so in his heart.
Judging from the information he learned, there seems to be something wrong within the Buddha sect, and now he encounters the robbery and killing of the spirit child who may become the "son of the Buddha", if it is operated properly, maybe he can enter the pagoda with a suitable identity.
As for some specific rescue strategies, he doesn't have a clue for the time being, after all, it is in the base camp of Buddhism, and it is indeed not easy to do something!
Looking back on those days, there were really some ignorant people who were fearless! With the improvement of the realm now, Lin Yan gradually understood that the three religions were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and that he was able to get out back then, not because of his strength, but because the Buddhism did not really put himself in his eyes.
No matter what situation you are about to face, your own strength is the most important!
Some of the elixirs obtained in the treasure house of the Chang'an royal family before, Lin Yan had already refined the medicinal power, and crossed them into the black knife, trying to wake up the sleeping Qiu Lao. As long as Qiu Lao is by his side, he will feel at ease!
Chao Tianque had already stepped into the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom one step ahead of him, looking for clues to verify some speculations that might be extravagant hopes. If the guess is true, then the resistance that Lin Yan will face will be even greater!
At the same time, the contradiction between Momen and Chaotianque is also a big problem, which cannot be solved by him in a few words. If the two sides meet, maybe they haven't dealt with the Buddha Sect yet, and they will fight first!
Gently shaking his head, throwing away the superfluous thoughts, Lin Yan's eyes were clear.
Meals must be eaten in one bite, things must be done one by one, and the truth will always surface!
