When it was just dawn, Nori Seiyu, who had been asleep for most of the night, finally woke up...... He opened his eyes and saw - how did he end up on the edge of the vast desert?

Nori Seiyu couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes, wanting to see more clearly...... This time, he really saw it quite clearly--there was a small wooden plaque, resting on his chest! It read: I carried you ten miles last night, and I would like to thank you for ten taels of gold! The payment was: Helan Sanxue!

At this time, Yeli Chengyu finally fully understood his situation last night! There is no doubt that after he fainted on the outskirts of the city last night, he was rescued and transported to the current place - and the person who "helped" him was obviously the "Helan Sanxue"!

......

The legendary "Helan Sanxue" is the most mysterious existence in the Helan Mountain area......

More than ten years ago, the indigenous Qiang residents at the foot of Helan Mountain, who admired the legendary figures of the Xue family in the Tang Dynasty since childhood, gave themselves a Han name - Xue Shenyi.

This Xue Shenyan, who has been playing on Helan Mountain since he was a child, has developed a very hardy ability, and he has very good foot strength, and can run like a fly in the snow! It is precisely because of these unusual abilities that he has given himself a tuba -- drifting in the snow!

Later, he met two characters who were also particularly hardy in the snow and moved extremely fast -- Ku Ding'er, who "walked on the snow without a trace" and Ao Yuntian, who was not stiff in the snow! After some talking, these three people were very like-minded, so they turned the soil into incense and became brothers with different surnames who were friends for eight worships -- from then on, there was an additional name on the rivers and lakes: Helan Sanxue!

And because the three brothers of "Helan Sanxue" are often elusive, every time they take action, they always come and go without a trace in the vast snow-capped mountains...... So much so that later, there were even rumors in the outside world: those weird, weird, bizarre and terrifying "snow demons" that occasionally appeared around the snow-capped mountains - nine times out of ten, they were the "masterpieces" of these three people!

As a result, this matter became more and more evil...... So much so that later, some people in the rivers and lakes simply called the three Helan Sanxue brothers - "Helan Sanwei"!

......

However, at this time, whether they are "Helan Sanxue" or "Helan Sanwei", Yeli Chengyou still has to thank them for saving their lives - although this is actually a kind of "help" that needs to be rewarded heavily!

At the thought of the need to pay a reward, Yeli Chengyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, when he was leaving, he didn't forget to grab the money bag containing the gold barley on the head of the bed! At this time, he really understood the "truth" of an unquenchable heart—this has money, and sometimes it can really save lives!

At this moment, Yeli Chengyu reached out and took out the money bag in his arms...... However, when he turned the money bag upside down, and counted and counted and counted, he always found that in that bag there were only thirteen gold barleys at best!

These gold barley are only a sufficient amount of one or two gold—— that is to say: when Yeli Chengyou was about to flee for his life, the wealth he grabbed casually was actually quite weighty! However, if you pay according to the price set by "Helan Sanxue...... There's really not much left in the money bag!

And Yeli Chengyu has already calculated in his heart: now he has lost Xingqing City in vain, resulting in him already on the territory of the Baiqiang people - no matter what, he can't stay!

For the sake of today's plan, he had no choice but to hide in other countries for the time being to try his luck! However, there are also expenses for finding people and trusting relationships along the way...... Isn't it exactly what it costs to spend?

Thinking of this, Yeli Chengyou suddenly felt that he was really in a dilemma! Suddenly, his brain, which specializes in using crooked ideas, flashed with inspiration!

So, Nori Seiyu took out a thin charcoal strip (this strange guy has a lot of miscellaneous things with him!), and put it on top of an enlarged version of a white cloth handkerchief—writing and drawing...... actually left such a distinctive IOU for the "Helan Sanxue"!

When he was done, in order to show his sincerity, he symbolically counted three pieces of gold barley and wrapped them in the handkerchief...... Then, under the dead tree, Nori Seiyu opened a small hole in the ground with his hands - and put the bag of "gratuity" in it......

About a quarter of an hour later, on the edge of the desert, there was a lone traveler, who had fainted beside a small mound due to exhaustion...... After a while, with the crisp sound of camel bells, a camel caravan was slowly coming from the west!

They immediately spotted the drumming Nori Seisuke (i.e., the lone traveler) and immediately offered a helping hand to help him - and placed him on top of the hunchback......'s pile of goods!

And although this has been in trouble again and again, but he has been rescued every time and has been out of trouble like a loach, he has since had a very apt nickname - Nine Lives Cat!

......

Half an hour later, beside the dead tree where Nori Seiyu had laid his honorarium, a man covered in snow came silently! He swiftly dug open the frozen ground, where there were obvious traces of someone...... I found the small cloth bag with the honorarium.

After unpacking the cloth bag, getting the three golden barley, and seeing the picture, the "snowman's" face immediately showed a subtle smile that was not easy to detect......

......

Just after midnight that day, he was in the bishop's dormitory of the Baishangsheng Temple in Xingqing City......

The bed board of the Huanghuali big bed was quietly propped up by a crack...... A moment later, I saw a black shadow slipping out like a snake!

He crept to a corner of the room, reaching out and gently groping the wall...... Suddenly, the hand stopped—and then pressed the dimple he had just found......

The secret grid hidden in the corner of the wall was finally found! The man got his wish there—and received the double reward that Nori Seiyu had promised before! And he turned a blind eye to the rest of the jewelry, gold, silver, etc., and did not have the slightest greedy thought......

Due to the "help" of the strange and unpredictable "Helan Sanxue" in Helan Mountain, Yeli Chengyu, a "cat with nine lives", successfully escaped from danger - went to the territory of the Donghu people......
