081, starting with a single step (below)
Fortunately, Fei Lang can fly, and he is very familiar with the situation in this area, and according to the terrain he observes on weekdays, he finally pointed out a path, although it is still very difficult, but it is still barely able to pass through for those who have kung fu. When he left, he also left marks along the way, so that future generations could find the way.
I walked all the way to the South Wilderness, and when I saw the populated villages and Feilang from a distance, I stopped and said: "Mr. Changling, senior brothers, this place is wild and barren, except for us Yu people, it is difficult for outsiders to travel through. Today I have found a path, but it is still very difficult, it is best not to travel in the middle of summer, if there is anything that needs the help of my people in the future, whether you come in person or send someone to come, as long as you mention your names, the people of the Yu people will definitely do their best to help!"
Getting Feilang's promise is the biggest gain of Shaowu's trip to the Southern Wilderness.
Farewell to Feilang and continue to move forward, passing through many populated villages along the way, everyone did not stop any longer, and even at night they kept hurrying until they entered the castle of Okokinoyucheng in the southern border of the Silk Country. They rested for the night in the city of Noyu, and the next day they bought a light carriage at the market, and tied two spare horses to the back of the two horses, and sailed north.
What the tiger baby saw and heard in the country of Silk was no different from the rest of Ba Yuan. He has traveled through the countries of Xiangmur, Ba and Zheng, which are relatively denser and more affluent, on the one hand, because Hou Liao has governed the country in a good way for 40 years, and on the other hand, because Bamuro occupies the most fertile plains in the central land of Ba Yuan.
But other than that, Huwa didn't see much difference between countries, and there was almost no difference between what she saw and heard when she walked in the country of Silk and the country of Zheng. There is no difference in people's language, clothing, various traditional customs and living habits. They are originally of the same roots, the same species, have a common ancestor and civilization heritage, and most of them are the descendants of the Yanzhao tribe.
This kind of inheritance is not only a blood relationship, but also a spiritual and traditional bond that permeates the spirit and habits of life. Back then, Ba Yuan was only divided into five countries because of the clan dispute, and it is no wonder that the five countries have the heart of unifying Ba Yuan today. Because in a sense, they are one.
The people here are first of all Ba Yuan or Pakistan people, and then they can be said to be Zheng or Pakistan people.
On the way to the country of Silk Chamber, several people tried not to stop on the way, even if they encountered the outline of the city along the way, most of them detoured outside the city, and they really had to pass through the city and accept the checkpoint check. In this era, there were not many floating populations, except for a few caravans, which were residents who traveled short distances to visit relatives and friends. On weekdays, I'll run around without anything. I'm afraid there are only monks from various sects.
The checkpoints in the castle would interrogate passers-by about their identities and why they had gone out, and levy taxes on the caravans. Huwa and the others sat in a carriage with a tent, which was the lightest and most luxurious kind that could be bought in the Noyujo market, and the horses were also the best they could choose. When encountering the interrogation, Mr. Changling sat in the car without even raising his eyelids, while Huwa sat in front of the car like a boy accompanying him, usually only answered by the young man who drove the car.
Shao Wu generally only replied: "My husband is a monk, and he travels to visit friends and fellow practitioners of major sects. ”
The well-informed checkpoint sergeant is more or less discerning, and he looks at the elder gentleman sitting in the car. It is the appearance of a master with extraordinary bearing, and there is a handsome boy in front of the car, and there is a black and shiny spirit pet lying next to him, and there is no other property in the car. But the chariots and horses are all luxurious things, and they will not be allowed to let them go without asking anything.
When the car is out, the royal hand who drives is often a servant, and of course the tiger baby and the young man can't let Mr. Changling, the elder, drive the carriage. Shao Wu insisted on driving by himself. Before he returned to the country and succeeded to the throne, he first served his elders and close friends, and his status can be regarded as a condescension.
Mr. Changling sat in the car and watched the back of Shaowu. couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that this son also understands the art of mastering. Today, Shaowu personally drove for him, and in the future, Shaowu will be the king, if anything happens, how can Changlingmen not drive for him? Besides, with the appearance of a tiger baby, it is indeed more like a boy next to a master.
In this period of peace, the checkpoints along the city outline will not be troublesome to find a traveling monk during the check. But Huwa and the others still try to avoid crowded places, and if they don't have to, they go around the city, and the road is also very smooth. They all have cultivation, but they don't feel that the rush is hard, and they often travel day and night.
The men could stand it, but the horses could not stand it even if there was a rotation, and they entered the city twice on the way, both to sell their horses and buy four more robust horses.
They crossed the country of Silk Murro, of course, they did not enter the vicinity of the national capital, and the young man himself drove to pay attention to the roads along the way and the situation of the city and the villages. In the future, if he was to fight with the country of Silk and march with his army, this was the route he was most familiar with.
On this day, Mr. Changling suddenly spoke: "In front of us is Weiju City, and the Beast Mountain is in the east of Weiju City, and its city lord is also a disciple of the Beast Mountain, and there are many monks in the city. Let us not go into the city, but pass through the city by a road on the west side, and I will cross the road, which is in the other direction from the mountain of beasts, and let us sleep in the mountains at night. ”
Mr. Changling had also traveled far and wide in Ba Yuan back then, and he had been to this area, and he was familiar with the location of the Beast Mountain and Wei Fortress City, and he also knew that there was a way to bypass the other side away from the Beast Mountain, but he didn't want to meet too many monks to attract attention. Although the sergeants guarding the city did not look for trouble during the inspection, the initiates of the various sects would often come forward to greet them, report their homes, and ask each other's identities, which was sometimes quite troublesome.
They walked on the road west of the city for half a day, and slept in the mountains and fields at night, and the next day after dawn, the carriage and horses had just walked forward, and Mr. Changling suddenly frowned in the car and said: "You can hide whatever you want, how can someone set up a warning circle on this road?"
As soon as his words fell, the tiger baby also sensed that the carriage seemed to pass through an invisible barrier, accompanied by mana fluctuations. Someone has set up a magic circle here, and if someone breaks through, they will be able to detect it. At this time, a voice came from a distance and shouted: "The beast mountain is here to subdue the spirit birds, this road has been sealed, please take a detour to the city!"
Shao Wu quietly snorted coldly: "These beast mountains are so majestic, the official roads between the city outlines, can they say that they can seal it?" The carriage he was driving did not slow down, and continued to gallop forward.
The voice was obviously angry, and shouted again: "Who is coming? The Beast Mountain has blocked this road in order to subdue the spirit birds, please turn back quickly!" With the words, four people suddenly popped out ten zhang in front of him, all holding magic weapons to block the way.
Mr. Changling was sitting in the car and closing his eyes, and at this moment he opened his eyes and looked at the back of the young man with some surprise, this young man's temper is not so impulsive?
Since it has been said that let Shaowu decide the route on his own, then he can break through if he wants to, as long as it is not the sect leader of the Beast Mountain, Cong Yu is in person, Mr. Changling doesn't care who it is, and he will break through if he says that he will break through, anyway, this place is not too far from the border of Bamuro Country. Mr. Changling was ready to make a move, but unexpectedly, Shao Wu opened his mouth and shouted: "The messenger of Lord Chiwangqiu Xingsha, there is something important to pass through here, don't block the road!"
As soon as she said this, the tiger baby also reacted, and immediately took out the token of Xingsha and held it high, so that those people could see it from afar. The four Beast Mountain disciples were taken aback when they heard this, and when they saw the token of Xingsha in the hand of the tiger baby, the carriage had already approached.
They hurriedly got out of the way, turned sideways to the side of the road and saluted, "I didn't know that Lord Xingsha's envoy was here, and the things that Lord Xingsha explained, the Beast Mountain has been doing its best. The spirit bird has been surrounded here, and will soon ......"
Everyone was stunned, Shaowu was anxious, knowing that the tiger baby had a token of starry spirit, and also knew that the Beast Mountain had become a subsidiary sect respecting Chiwangqiu in recent years, so he shouted that. But listening to the answers of those disciples of the Beast Mountain, they were rounding up the spirit birds at this moment on the orders of Lord Xingsha of Chiwangqiu, and they also regarded them as envoys specially sent by Xingsha.
As for what those people said later, I didn't hear much clearly, because Shao Wu didn't slow down, and drove the carriage directly past.
A disciple of the Beast Mountain on the side of the road muttered: "This matter explained by Lord Xingsha, the Beast Mountain has not been done properly several times, it seems that the Chiwang Hill is in a hurry, and directly sent an envoy over." ”
Another person also muttered, "Is this the meaning of blaming the Beast Mountain for its ineffective work? That spirit bird is so cunning that it has escaped our round-up several times." We are good at driving away beasts, but we're not good at catching birds!"
Another person said: "Lord Xingsha wants to blame, and he also blames the sect master. We were just acting on orders, and now that we have finally trapped that spirit bird here, it seems that Lord Xingsha can't wait anymore and personally sends someone to subdue it. But if we can't catch it, can the messenger of Lord Starfire catch it?
Finally, he said, "If that spirit bird escapes in the hands of the messenger sent by Lord Starsha himself, it will be nothing for us. Everyone has been busy for more than a month, and the spirit bird is really hard to catch, and I am worried that I will miss it again this time. It's good now, whether it succeeds or not, Lord Xingsha can't blame us. ”
Huwa and the others didn't hear the conversation between these people in private, so they just drove away, and after a short walk, the road turned a corner in the dense forest, but Huwa suddenly shouted: "Senior brother, stop!" (to be continued......
