It is estimated that it has entered May, after a heavy rain alternately, Lu Liangsheng and his entourage passed through a dense forest, the fallen leaves were thick, the big trees climbed the moss, vines, soaked in the forest, insects fell from time to time, after the rain, the sun was scorching, and when they walked out of the forest, the four scholars were almost soaked.

Soon, walking on a vast grassland, the water and grass are luxuriant and the people are waist-high, the hot air is a little distorted in the line of sight, the crooked neck of the bushes is clustered one after another, between the field of vision, there is the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from far and near, the body is black and white, the striped pony is in a group, flicking the mane on the neck from the five people and a donkey.

"These horses, so strange!"

"Black and white, three brothers, if we catch a few, we won't have to walk so hard. ”

"Makes sense, it makes sense!"

The fourth scholar looked at the old donkey holding the bookshelf, muttered a few words excitedly, hurriedly threw away his baggage, said hello to Lu Liangsheng, and without waiting for the latter to answer, he chased after the group of black and white striped ponies, and disappeared into the tall grass in a moment.

'Roar-'

Suddenly, a roar of fierce beasts sounded in that direction, startling several nearby twisted trees, birds and finches flapping their wings and flying in panic.

Lu Liangsheng, who was leading the old donkey in front, frowned and turned his head, the grass swayed for a while, and in the next second, there was a scream of "Ahhh

Behind them, a group of big earthy yellow cats burst out of the lush grass, baring their fangs and roaring after the four of them, one of whom was burly and strong, with a golden mane around his neck shaking and flying between running, extremely majestic.

"Lion of the Western Regions. ”

When Lu Liangsheng was in Chang'an, he saw a fierce beast offered by the Hu people in the Western Regions, which was very similar to this one.

"Roar~~"

A lion's roar rang out, and the moment the male master rushed straight to the four scholars in front of him, he suddenly stretched out a hand, slapped on the lion's head, and the beast that pounced in mid-air was slapped hard, and fell to the ground obliquely, rolling twice with grass clippings before stopping, and when he struggled, he squatted on the ground and looked at another human who looked delicious, got up and took small steps towards the lioness who followed closely behind, and roared, hanging his tail and quickly returning to the grass along the road when he was chasing.

Whew-

The four of them bent over to support their knees, or sat on the ground and were exhausted and panting, just scholars, where did they have such good physical strength, they were chased all the way, and their undulating bellies were almost unable to keep up with the speed of breathing.

"Xie Guoshi helped......" "Those ponies are really good at running, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye, so the four of us rushed inside and saw more than a dozen big cats sleeping there." ”

"This place can really scare people to death. ”

Lu Liangsheng shook his wide sleeves, withdrew his hand behind him, shook his head, continued to hold the reins, pulled the old donkey forward, and said as he walked: "You and I are strangers here, and everywhere we pass are beasts and flying insects that we have never seen before, so be careful." ”

"Yes, yes, what the national teacher said is that the four of my brothers are indeed Meng Lang. ”

The four scholars picked up their bags again, drank a little water, looked around carefully, and followed Lu Liangsheng in front of them in a panic, for fear that those big cats were still watching them nearby.

The sky was scorching, and from time to time there were horses running like before, and occasionally you could see horned horses, in pairs of threes and twos, leisurely nibbling on the tender grass on the ground, hearing the movement, shaking their ears and raising their long necks to look.

The old donkey looked at them excitedly, snorting and snorting, and wanted to go over with his hooves, but was knocked on the door of his head by Lu Liangsheng before he could be honest, and the four scholars who followed closely next to him couldn't help but speak.

"Look, those horses seem to have horns..... Ouch, go back and tell the others, who will believe it?!"

In the bookshelf where the donkey's back was rocking, the toad man propped his chin and squinted at the two wildebeest that flicked their tails.

"Believe it or not, what's the use, the main thing is to see if it's delicious, what the quality of the meat is, and whether it tastes good when you put all kinds of spices..... As he spoke, he was a little hungry for the teacher. ”

"Well, out of the rainforest, it seems like I haven't eaten breakfast. ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the hours in the sky, and the sun he saw in the Central Plains in the past, the angles were very different, and it was difficult to tell how many moments the details were, but when the master was hungry, it was almost time to eat, and it had always been more accurate.

Over there, a big tree with a very thick stem, lying on the branch and yawning a big spotted cat, suddenly saw five people and a donkey coming, vigilantly standing on the branch, giving a low roar of warning, seeing that it was ineffective, I had to take the food that I had not eaten yesterday, ran down the tree, and ran quickly to the forest not far away.

Soon, the bonfire was raised, Lu Liangsheng picked up a small pot, and the little water left was poured into the pot to cook gruel, and he tore some jerky and threw it in, wafting the smell of meat, and the toad man standing at the small door of the bookshelf stood on tiptoe and glanced into the pot, looking at the dried meat floating on it, his face sank.

"Why didn't you bring the little Taoist priest..... There is so much game here, it's a place to show off your skills, well, you have to write it down and come back later. ”

After a simple breakfast, the group re-embarked on the road, without reference, according to the direction of the rising sun to identify the northern past, grasslands, forests, beasts are very many, almost all of them are not known to Lu Liangsheng, there are few records in the book, with the shrinkage of the land into inches, in the end the sun goes down, still does not seem to come to the end, occasionally meet people, they are all the same as the people who warmly entertained them before, the skin is dark, only animal skins, not even wearing, I saw them fleeing from a distance.

However, some of them came across with a fierce temperament, painted on their faces, holding stone spears and sharp bones, and carrying leather shields and rushing towards them with a scream, all of which were blown by the strong wind set off by a sleeve, and when they looked for it again, Lu Liangsheng had already disappeared into the grassland with four scholars and old donkeys.

On the fifth day, when everyone was tired of seeing this land and talking about how big this land was, and whether they should change directions, they passed through a small rainforest in front of them, and a large river about two hundred feet wide crossed in front of them.

The undulating water reflected the sunlight and sparkled with a few driftwoods, and the four scholars, who had not washed for a long time, ran to the river excitedly, took off their dirty robes, and walked into the water.

"Wait. ”

Lu Liangsheng called them, bent down to pick up a stone, and threw it into the water, only to see that the driftwood suddenly moved, brought up a splash, and pounced on the place where the sound just now, and took a closer look at the long tail of the limbs, and the tone was full of dense fangs, which scared Wang Feng, Ma Liu, Zhang Wei, and Zhao Fu very much, and hid to Lu Liangsheng's side with his robe, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"It turned out to be Zhu Polong..... There are quite a lot of them in Dongting Lake, but they are not so big..... It's so dangerous, it's almost going down. ”

"Let's go, maybe there will be a city here. ”

Lu Liangsheng understands a truth, wherever there is such a lake, he does not dare to have a city, there are always towns and villages, and if he can meet people who are not like before, he should be able to communicate.

Along the river, there are gradually more palms on the riverbank, and occasionally one or two small boats with white sails can be seen passing over the river, which confirms Lu Liangsheng's guess, and the dull mood of walking on the hot grassland all day has finally eased a lot, and he has some curiosity about the country in this land.

"National teacher, look over there!"

Ma Liu stood on tiptoe and pointed to the distance from the other side of the river, Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, and vaguely saw the silhouette of another square pointed building, standing in the distance, bathed in the sun, among the golden sand, magnificent and majestic.

There was also a faint fluctuation of divine power.

'Is there a god on this side?'
