Chapter 183: It's all fate
Above the official road.
Zuo Dao and the old turtle rode their horses and galloped, chasing the two birds in the distance overhead.
Shortly before them, they passed through a wooded area.
There are birds that specialize in preying on birds and finches, and they are unprepared, and they are about to leave with a bird in their mouths.
Even if Zuo Dao's reaction was very fast, he directly killed him with a flying knife.
But after all, it was a step too late.
The bird that was held in the mouth by the bird died directly.
Now the left road is in a hurry, and at the same time, it has to watch out for those birds that specialize in preying on birds.
After all, only these two birds remained.
If you come again, let alone find the traces of the Vermilion Bird, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the birds that flew away before.
The two of them ran wild on their horses for several days, only stopping at night.
Finally, in the early morning of the seventh day.
In the distance, I saw the shadow of a flock of birds, and the direction in which they flew should be the same as my own two birds.
Seeing such a huge flock of birds, Zuo Dao breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out the map and compared it.
It seems that this place is not on the same line as Daxuan's royal city, and it has even begun to move away from the official road.
If he hadn't slapped light talismans on both horses, I'm afraid the two horses would have died of exhaustion.
I don't know if it was because of the same kind of sight, the two birds slowed down a lot, and they began to slowly integrate into the flock.
Zuo Dao also saw some people chasing the birds along the way.
Among these people were warriors and monks, and they all had the same purpose, all of them chasing the birds in the sky.
Even at night, it didn't stop.
However, Zuo Dao is much better, and those two birds have been domesticated after all.
So he was still more obedient, and stopped at night to give Zuo Dao and Lao Gui time to rest.
Another three days passed.
The two birds led Zuo Dao and the old turtle to a mountain range.
Although the mountains are continuous, they are still much worse than the 100,000 mountains in the territory of Great Wei.
But even so, it is hundreds of miles long, which is very amazing.
At the foot of this mountain range, there are already many people stationed densely.
Countless tents have risen from the ground.
You can even see the sergeants stationed, and it looks like this place has been discovered for a long time.
This makes this place feel like a small camp.
Many people drink and brag in front of the fire, and they look very hot.
Some people wandered around here and began to sell some food and drink, which were all good things.
And the business was extremely good, and most of it was sold in a matter of moments.
There are also many graceful and scantily dressed women, led by strong men, wandering between the tents.
Many men have smiles on their faces that all men understand.
When Zuo Dao saw such a scene, his face couldn't help but turn dark.
Didn't the people of the Mocheng before say that no one could find the trace of the Vermilion Bird?
What else to say, follow the flock of birds, follow and lose.
This looks like a lost look?
At the foot of this mountain, a large camp has been formed, and there are thousands of people here, right?
And there are also a lot of soldiers, obviously the big men of the Great Xuan Dynasty have also come here.
Zuo Dao took a deep breath, then beckoned the two birds back and let them rest on his shoulders.
Then.
Someone stepped forward and glanced at Zuo Dao with a strange expression.
On its shoulders, too, stood two birds.
He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Tai is also from Mocheng?" Want to go into this mountain to find the traces of the Suzaku bird? ”
At this moment, Zuo Dao was dressed in green clothes, and in order to cover his face, he deliberately put on a mask.
This outfit is normal in this camp, so it won't attract attention.
He glanced at the man in front of him and said, "How does Your Excellency know?" ”
Li Badao glanced at the two birds on Zuo Dao's shoulders and said, "The old beggar in the outer city of Mocheng bought it, right?" Ten taels of silver? ”
Hearing this, Zuo Dao looked at the two birds on the other party's shoulders with a strange expression.
Took a deep breath.
Said: "I bought it from the old beggar in Mocheng, three of ten taels of silver." ”
When Li Badao heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and then he scolded angrily: "The old guy of the dog day, sell Lao Tzu for ten taels of silver, sell you three for ten taels of silver, and when he returns to Mocheng one day, Lao Tzu will break his leg." ”
Meanwhile.
The old beggar who was far away in Mocheng had just accepted a few copper plates from the birds.
Then he sneezed without warning, and shook the copper plate in his hand off.
He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, rubbed his nose, and wiped it casually on himself.
Said thoughtfully: "Someone has gone to the Lianheng Mountain Range again?" ”
Forthwith.
He yawned, cleaned up the room, and then sang a little song and walked towards the Smoke Willow Alley in the outer city.
Under the Lianheng Mountains.
The old turtle glanced at the two people with somewhat ugly faces, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
I don't know why, looking at Zuo Dao's uncomfortable kid, he was very happy in his heart.
Li Badao arched his hand and said: "In Xia Li Badao, from Mocheng, I originally thought I had met some game world, but I didn't expect it to be an old liar." ”
Zuo Dao was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: What a domineering name.
Then he replied: "In Xia Wang Teng, I have seen Brother Li, among them, is there still a hidden relationship." ”
The old turtle was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Old man Situ Jian." ”
When Li Badao heard this, he said, "Please come with me, Li slowly talked to the two brothers on the way." ”
As he spoke, he led the two of them towards the camp.
En route.
Li scolded and scolded: "Lao Tzu originally went to Mocheng to escort the caravan, but he happened to meet the first batch of migrating birds, and he sighed in his heart, and then met the old beggar." ”
"The old beggar has a secret art of taming beasts in his hand, saying that he can lead me to the location of Suzaku, as for whether he can grab it, it depends on my luck."
At this, he looked around, and the anger on his face was not concealed in the slightest.
He continued to speak: "This dog thing fooled Lao Tzu and didn't understand, and sold me three at the price of ten taels of silver and a bird. ”
"I thought I had met some kind of game predecessor in the world, but I didn't expect it to be an old liar, and the birds he domesticated could only come to the foot of this Lianheng Mountain Range."
"This ghost place, every time Suzaku appears, there will be a lot of people who want to try their luck, and over time, it has become a camp that has endured."
After saying that, he took a hard sip.
said that when he wanted to return to Mocheng, he had to find the old beggar and break the other party's dog legs.
Especially when it comes to buying one for ten taels of silver, the anger is even greater.
When Zuo Dao heard this, a helpless look appeared on his face.
Although he didn't quite believe that the old beggar's domesticated bird could find the Suzaku, he still couldn't help but laugh when he learned the truth.
Isn't this old fellow afraid that someone will go back to find him and kill him in a fit of rage?
Then.
Li Badao led the two to a bonfire, where there were several people sitting.
Without exception, there were two or three birds standing on their shoulders.
One of them even took a bunch of birds to roast on the fire, muttering something while roasting.
Li Badao said: "Brothers, there are people from Mocheng again. ”
When several people heard this, they raised their heads one after another.
After seeing two birds standing on Zuo Dao's shoulder, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Badao arranged for someone to take away the horses of the two people on the left road.
The people who took the horses gave Zuo Dao two signs, saying that they would recognize the cards and not recognize people when they led the horses in the future.
As for the expenses for the caretake, they were kept to tie it up when they led the horses.
If the time limit has passed, the debt will be paid with horses.
Li Badao said: "The two brothers can rest assured, these people are all servants of the family in the nearby city, and they are engaged in this kind of business, and their reputation can still be guaranteed." ”
Then, Li Badao began to introduce several people in the field.
He pointed to the man who was barbecuing the birds and said, "This product is called Lin Heng, he is also from Mocheng, and he bought ten birds in Mocheng and spent a hundred taels. ”
Hearing Li Badao speak, the anger on Lin Heng's face was even worse, and his hand turned faster.
Then he pointed to one of the women with three birds standing on her shoulder, and said, "This is Liu Baijie, eight taels of one bird, bought three." ”
I don't know if it's because Liu Baijie bought it cheaper, and she still had a smile on her face.
"This is Liu Sheng, fifteen taels and one bird bought two."
"This is Wang Wu, eleven taels and one bird bought five."
With Li Badao's introduction one by one, he realized that the people here not only came from Mocheng, but also sold the old beggar's birds.
He counted them as if he had bought them the cheapest.
He simply opened his mouth and introduced: "In Xia Wang Teng, he is also from Mocheng, and he bought three birds for ten taels of silver. ”
When the words fell, everyone looked up at him, and the expressions on their faces were wrong.
Li Ba beckoned everyone to sit down.
Then he began to introduce the camp to Zuo Dao and the others.
After the camp was introduced, he said, "Since we are all from Mocheng, and we all bought the bastard old beggar's birds." ”
"Speaking of which, this is also a kind of fate."
"Three days later, according to the speculation of the Daxuan royal family, it will be the time for Suzaku to appear, and then all the birds that come to the Lianheng Mountain Range will move."
"There are thousands of people here, and if we go it alone, we won't have an advantage."
"It's better for us to cooperate, in addition to being able to protect ourselves in the Lianheng Mountain Range, you can also try to see if you can find the Vermilion Bird."
"As for the treasures near Suzaku, it's up to each of them to do it."
Hearing this, Zuo Dao realized why Li Badao came to look for him after he entered the camp.
It turned out to be the idea of hitting.
Li Badao whispered beside him: "Brother Wang, don't think that everyone here is here to find Vermilion Bird. ”
"The people who can come here are at least the strength of the innate realm."
"Don't look at the three or four thousand people here, among them, only seven or eight out of ten are looking for Vermilion Birds, and the rest of the people are all making a fortune by sneaking up on a single person in the mountains."
Hearing this, Zuo Dao's eyes couldn't help but light up.
So you can still do this?
Liu Baijie sighed faintly: "Having said that, the legend of the National Teacher is just a legend after all, can anyone really find the treasure medicine?" ”
It is rumored that in the vicinity of Suzaku's appearance, there will be countless heavenly and earthly treasures in the world.
These people said that they were going for Suzaku.
can be their strength, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to survive if they get close to Suzaku.
Their purpose is very simple, to find the place where the Vermilion Bird appears, and to find some natural treasures.
Since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Suzaku has appeared seven or eight times.
Every time, someone gets the opportunity to return, and the most famous of them is the national teacher Xuanzhuzi, who once broke through to the realm of Daojun.
became the first person of the well-deserved Daxuan Dynasty, and he was also the official worship of the national teacher.
Many warriors or monks in the territory of Daxuan are all set by this person, and every time Suzaku appears, they will come here to look for opportunities.
Li Badao immediately spoke: "We can't find the Vermilion Bird, can't we find the treasure medicine?" What is Liu Meizi worried about, we will join forces, at least it will not be in vain. ”
Lin Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go." ”
To him, in fact, a hundred taels of silver is nothing, after all, he is also a powerhouse at the level of a small grandmaster.
This little money is still not taken into account.
It's just that he was angry that he was deceived, and he also regarded an old beggar as an old monster in the game world.
You have to spit out this breath.
When Liu Sheng and Wang Wu heard this, they also smiled and said, "I waited for thousands of miles to come here, isn't it just to enter Baoshan to hunt for treasure medicine?" Now that they have all arrived here, how can they not enter the mountain. ”
Li Badao immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay." ”
Forthwith.
He turned his head to look at Zuo Dao and the old turtle, and said, "What do the two brothers think?" ”
Zuo Dao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "Naturally." ”
He originally came here to find the Vermilion Bird and see if the Vermilion Bird and the Vermilion Bird Dao species are the same.
Now that the trail is known, it is impossible not to enter the mountain.
Not to mention that there are countless monsters, robbers composed of warriors and monks, and many treasures and medicines in this mountain.
It's worth a trip anyway.
If he hadn't just come to Daxuan, he didn't know much about this Daxuan, and he needed someone to be a guide, I'm afraid he would have entered the mountain a long time ago.
The old turtle nodded slightly and said, "Old man Situ Jian should also be down." ”
It seems to be infected by the atmosphere in the field.
Liu Baijie also smiled: "In this case, after three days, after the birds in the mountain have a vision, we will enter the mountain together." ”
Seeing that the last person should also be down, Li Badao's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction.
Then he took Zuo Dao around the camp and found a place to buy tents and daily necessities for him.
After all, according to the calculations of the Daxuan royal family, there will be at least three days before Suzaku will appear.
If there is an accident, I am afraid that the time will be extended.
Can't they be allowed to eat and sleep at the foot of this mountain, watch others sleep in tents, eat meat, and drink bars?
When buying a tent, Lao Gui also deliberately asked for a tent that was large enough.
The reason was that he had just seen a lot of women playing music, and he was in such a hurry that he wanted to rest in the next few days.
When Li Badao heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Senior Situ really knows how to enjoy it, but those women are very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford them." ”
The old turtle waved his hand and said proudly: "The old man has nothing else, but money." ”
This domineering posture instantly shook Li Badao in place.
