After walking for more than 20 miles, it was still like this, and everyone was desperate.

Chen Lu suggested: "Your Excellency, now that people are sleepy and tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Li Xian also said: "Yes, the people are okay, the horses are no longer good, and many horseshoes are worn out." ”

Li Da ordered: "Just camp on the side of the road, tell Luhatu, and find a way to give Matthew the soles of his feet." ”

Wenda said: "My lord, there are no trees nearby, so you can't set up a camp, so you can only use cars to surround the camp." ”

Li Da said: "It's all up to General Wen to deal with. ”

After setting up the camp, it was already the second watch, and there was no firewood for cooking, so I had to use the dry food I brought to satisfy my hunger. The dry food and water bags were frozen into ice cubes, and people could only chew a little ice, and the whole ice cubes were carried to the temporary stables, where they licked the ice cubes to quench their thirst, and at night they were only given some grass without feeding.

Chen Lu chewed a piece of bread and half a piece of dry food, and strangely, he didn't feel tired at all, which surprised him. I didn't want to think about it, he still had a public case to be solved, so he lay on the marching bed with clothes.

He went to the rainy place again, the misty and rainy scene of the south of the Yangtze River, the fine willows and plantains, and the rain hitting the sycamores. Chen Lu still remembered the road and found this thatched house. Everything is still the same, except that the old man named Toad is not making baskets, he is eating.

Exactly, the toad is eating the toad.

The old man toad just ate a slice, drank another cup of sour things, smacked his lips, and spoke first: "Why don't you speak, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Chen Lu was indeed angry, and now he was no longer called Master, and shouted: "Are you a demon or an immortal? I respect you as a Master, and I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me? My old man's life span is running out, why do you take it for another twenty days?"

The toad said coldly: "You are standing and peeing, and you are willing to lose the bet." ”

"You talk nonsense, when have I ever gambled with you?"

The toad got angry: "Originally, the life span was not long, what is the loss point? No need to talk nonsense, get out of the house if it's okay." ”

"I want to ask for an explanation, who are you and why did you harm me?"

"It's easy to ask for an explanation, and I'm just thinking of having an explanation, first move the stone bench over there, and I'll give you an explanation. He pointed to the stone bench at the door.

Chen Lu looked at this stone bench and gasped, this stone bench is no less than five hundred catties, he is a scholar, and he has no power to tie the chicken, this old guy is playing tricks on himself. also said coldly: "I can't do it, I can't do it, you are deliberately embarrassing me." ”

"How do you know you can't do it without trying?"

Chen Lu was a little puzzled, walked over, exerted all his strength, couldn't move at all, stood up and shook his head at the toad, he didn't even have the strength to quarrel.

The toad was still cold, and said, "What you want to say is on this stone bench." Come and eat and drink with my old man. ”

Chen Lu didn't want to dwell on it anymore, and said, "I'm not interested! ”

"Don't regret it, the statement you want is here. ”

"Don't do it!"

"This is the first time I've seen such a man, and I still want to be my disciple? I don't even dare to eat a piece of toad meat, coward!"

Chen Lu is a person who is about to reach the end of his life, and he is no longer afraid of death, and he is still afraid of bullshit and toad meat. He walked over quickly, grabbed two pieces of meat, threw them into his mouth, chewed them heavily, swallowed them hard, and looked at the toad defiantly.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "I'm nearly fifty years old, and I can't stand the help of others, and I don't have any potential, so I don't deserve to be my disciple." ”

Chen Lu replied coldly: "It's not uncommon for me to be your disciple anymore, take my leave." ”

"No, but you can try the stone bench again now, and you have the argument you want. ”

Chen Lu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, turned around and walked outside, and then he felt that his limbs seemed to have a force colliding. He tried to take a breath, but he felt that his whole body was hot, and a dantian qi rushed straight to the halogen, and he seemed to understand something.

He walked to the stone bench, hesitated for a moment, and with his left hand, the stone bench rose off the ground, and he switched to his right hand, and then gently put it down.

At first, he thought that it was the old man toad who was making trouble, and recalled that his strength did come from internal strength. The toad didn't lie, he did have an explanation.

He was taken aback, walked a few steps, knelt down on his knees in front of the toad old man, and said, "Master, the disciple is dull and doesn't know how to cultivate immortals, thank you Master." ”

"Don't thank me, this is what you got for your twenty days of life. It's because you're anxious for quick success, or you can say you're greedy. ”

"The disciple is stupid, please enlighten the master. ”

"Okay, if you want to cultivate, if you have internal force, you have to come step by step, that is obviously a ninefold internal force, you have to start from the first one. If you choose to put things in the first shrimp basket, you won't lose your life, but you choose the third weight, and deduct ten days for each additional one, and the higher the deduction, the more you will deduct. ”

Fortunately, I didn't choose the ninth weight, so I wouldn't be able to get to Harry.

He wanted to ask why he couldn't move the stone bench just now, but why it was so easy to move it after less than a quarter of an hour?

The toad still said coldly: "Let's go, the wolf is coming." ”

Chen Lu paused for a moment, and sure enough, there was a wolf howl, he quickly took a look, and it turned out that he was still sleeping on the marching bed.

He heard the terrible and long howl of the wolf, followed by a series of howls, as if coming from all directions, in the empty Western Regions, extremely loud, as if they were in a game.

Outside, there was the sound of people moving in a hurry, and Ha San went out to take a look, and came back and said, "My lord, we are already surrounded by wolves. ”

Chen Lu said, "What about Nalan, let her protect several adults, and you can take a look with me." ”

At this time, Ha San was no longer as worried about Chen Lu as he was before. He knew that although this Lord Chen did not have martial arts, he was probably an immortal cultivator, and he was ten or a hundred times stronger than him when dealing with some strange and strange things.

They saw that the camp was surrounded by dense green eyes, and there was nothing terrible about it, it was heaven that they were terrible.

The two of them looked into the air, but they didn't see any strange phenomena, and they were relieved.

Chen Lu saw that both horses and camels were already shaking. These war horses are very interesting, on the battlefield of flesh and blood, they will fight when they should fight, they will run when they should run, and they are never ambiguous, they are afraid of these tigers, leopards and jackals.

It can be seen that in nature, one thing descends to one thing, and the word natural enemy is good.

It's been three watches, and when it comes to the New Year's Day, the blue sky is like a wash, the stars are dotted, and the cold air seems to be frozen.

And these soldiers are already hungry and thirsty, and it is really a little powerless to deal with this wolf pack.

Wenda ordered: the first team, open the bow and set up the arrows, listen to the command to shoot, the second team, the firearms team, wait for the second team to go down to change arrows, press the formation, and the two teams alternate cover.

This arrangement is also out of helplessness, the wolves are most afraid of fire, and the fire gun is undoubtedly the most effective, but the range of this fire gun is too short, for fear that once the attack fails, there will rush into the camp and harm the livestock.
