Exterminator exclaimed, "How many bones! ”

When I stepped forward to take a closer look, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: it turned out that they were all animal bones.

Judging from the remnants of the skull, there are three kinds of cattle, sheep and pigs, and the number is no less than dozens, but after a long time, the bones are semi-weathered and appear incomplete.

However, the bottom of this cliff is deep and cold, it is difficult to see the sun all year round, and the snow in the corners is forested, and it does not melt until June and July, so the rate of bone decay is much slower than that of the outside world.

If you are like those who have profound internal skills, they will be as strong as jade when they practice, and they will be kept for a longer time.

Annihilation sighed: "It is worthy of a generation of famous heroes, although they are buried under the cliff, they will always be remembered, like this pig, cow and sheep three animals, when someone hangs on the cliff and sacrifices, and then throws it down." ”

Ye Guhong smiled: "This person has done us a great favor, this corbel bone is so thick, and the fracture is sharp, isn't it just right to dig the ground?" ”

At that moment, he cut a piece of cloth from the placket of his clothes, wrapped his hands, and went to take the broken bones.

He picked and chosen, found a few thick and sharp bones and took them out, and suddenly saw a small package in the pile of white bones, bulging with a bag, and his heart moved, and he carefully picked out the package with a bone.

However, the material of the package, I don't know whether it is cotton or brocade, it has long been decayed, and it is fashionable to not touch it.

The master and apprentice hurriedly took a closer look, but it was a small wooden tripod five or six inches high, the color was bright and yellow like jade, and there was a faint red thread in the wood.

This small ding, with many cattle piled together, when the livestock rotted, the flesh and bones turned into corpse water and meat mud, I don't know how many years of infection, but it is still clean and delicate, obviously a strange thing.

"This little ding, most of them, belonged to one of the three seniors, or something else, so the people who sacrificed them later threw one of them off the cliff. ”

Ye Guhong knew it in his heart: when the group of heroes came to save Xiao Daxia, they ignited special spices in this tripod, attracting countless poisonous snakes and distracting the defenders, but this tripod was lost in the palace of the king of the Southern Courtyard.

It can be inferred from this that most of them were Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, and later remembered his friendship with this righteous brother, and quietly sneaked to Yanmen Pass, slaughtered three animals for sacrifice, and returned them to the original owner along with this tripod.

Ye Guhong said: "Master, this tripod is timeless, it must be a treasure, according to the apprentice, it has a relationship with my Emei, let's take it back." ”

Exterminating Tribulation smiled: "Yes, the teacher also feels that it is fateful, so I will find a piece of material to wrap up, and go back to study it slowly." ”

It took two or three hours for the master and apprentice to put away the tripod, each exercise a cow bone, dig two pits, and bury the two broken bodies in one place, and bury the iron bones in the pit next to them.

It's easy to finish busy, the master and apprentice are both covered in dirt, and the destruction made Ye Guhong pick up the soil for incense, kowtowed three times in front of the grave, and prayed himself: "Today, my master and apprentice have the opportunity left by the predecessors, and there is no way to repay it, and I have the right to exert a small force to help the predecessors enter the earth for peace, and I hope that the predecessors can be reborn in bliss, Amitabha." ”

After praying, he closed his eyes and stumbled over a scripture.

After reading the scriptures, the catastrophe breathed a sigh of relief, which was regarded as letting go of some thoughts, pulling up Ye Guhong, and the master and apprentice returned along the place they came from, looking for a path out of the mountain.

After another two or three days, the master and apprentice found a long-abandoned mountain road, which seemed to be nothing, winding up along a lonely peak.

The road was extremely steep, and after a journey, the thin horse roared magnificently, and refused to take another step up no matter how it was pulled by the catastrophe.

Fortunately, at this time, most of the horse's supplies had been consumed, and he shook out a monk's robe, wrapped the rest of the things, tied them around his waist, and then took off the horse's saddle and halter.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a small half of the leftover Zizhi from her sleeve and fed it to the horse's mouth.

The horse's nostrils sniffed, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the Tribulation.

Annihilation confessed seriously: "You follow my master and apprentice all the way, it's really hard, this half of Lingzhi is considered a reward, and it doesn't hurt to eat it with confidence." ”

The horse seemed to understand, opened his mouth carefully, took the lingzhi, and then raised his head, threw the lingzhi, swallowed it in his mouth, chewed it uncontrollably, and shook his head and tail happily.

After it was finished, he slapped the bridge of the horse's nose and shouted: "Go, since you can't go up the mountain, everyone has to go their own way, I hope you won't be caught as a mount in the future." ”

As he spoke, he turned around, took Ye Guhong's little hand, and climbed the mountain step by step.

The horse was below, tilted his head and looked at it, and when he saw that the two were getting higher and higher, and finally knew that they did not want it, Herod neighed, turned his head and ran into the col.

Annihilation pulled Ye Guhong up the mountain, at first he only needed to lead it, but then he walked higher and higher, the road was almost a cliff, he simply held it in his arms with one hand, and assisted in climbing with the other, and it took more than half an hour before he reached the top.

The master and apprentice took a breath and looked around, but saw that the mountains at their feet were from west to east, horizontal like a dragon, dividing the earth into two pieces of north and south, halfway up the mountain in the east, Yanmen Pass guarded the main road, the momentum was majestic, and for a time, the generosity arose.

Exterminating the calamity let out a clear roar and said in a loud voice: "Disciple, you see that this river and mountain are very good, but now you are sinking into the bloody, as a man living in the contemporary era, how can you do nothing?" After returning to the mountain with the teacher this time, I will study the art with my heart, and when the art is successful, I will simply raise a righteous army in Emei, and you will be the generalissimo, and kill those Tartars and the evil thieves and shameless dog officials in the world, and return this world to a bright and prosperous world! ”

Ye Guhong saw that his master was full of pride, and said with a smile: "Master, fighting is different from fighting in the rivers and lakes, no matter how good I learn martial arts, I don't know the art of war, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat a real famous general." ”

Annihilation said proudly: "What are you afraid of? If you talk about the ability to use soldiers, it is none other than Yue Wumu back then! As a teacher, I will not wait in vain all these years, and I will definitely find that treasure knife...... At that time, you will learn to learn the skills of martial arts, use soldiers like gods, and you will definitely conquer everything! ”

Ye Guhong said curiously: "What treasure knife? How can I learn Wu Mu's military skills? ”

Xuan Jue shook his head and said: "It's not for the teacher to hide from you, it's just the ancestral training of this faction, this secret, only the head can know, you don't have to worry, sooner or later I will let you know." Let's go! ”

She didn't want to say more, and took Ye Guhong to carefully climb down the cliff from the south, and when she got down to the ground, she was already south of Yanmen Pass.

The master and apprentice walked along the Guannan Road, walked for five or six miles, and saw many houses built on both sides along the mountain, pavilions, inns, commercial houses, restaurants, there were everything, although the place was not big, but it was lively and tight.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he said in a low voice: "Apprentice, let's shoot here, for the teacher to see that there are cattle sellers here, tomorrow we will buy two more clean mules and ride home." ”

While he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a melodious camel bell behind him.

However, there are many guests who come and go in this Yanmen Pass every day, and it is common to meet camel guests from the Western Regions, and the robber master Taitou did not return, so he took Ye Guhong and found a secluded restaurant, and ordered a string of dish names from Ye Guhong as usual.

After a while, the wine and food were delivered, and the master and apprentice spent their days on pastries these days.

I was eating sweetly, and suddenly I heard the sound of jingle bells, jingling bells, from far and near, until I came to the door of this restaurant, and then the door panel was pushed, and a thin man who was not tall or short, wearing a white robe and shaking a camel bell, walked in.
