Chen Lu ran a few steps to support her. Seeing that her helmet was gone, her hair was scattered, her clothes were disheveled, and her big beautiful eyes did not have any sparkle. Especially on the face, there are also hanging things, just a thin layer, as if coated with a layer of powder, shiny, more like a layer of ice ballast.

Chen Lu subconsciously touched it, and Nalan said, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Lu ignored her and said, "Brother and sister, look at my face." ”

Nalan saw that his actions today were a little frivolous and a little annoyed, and said, "Master Chen, when is it now?"

Chen Lu shouted: "I don't know when it is? Look at my face." ”

Nalan was taken aback, how can this Chen Zicheng be so virtuous. Nalan was a stubborn girl, shook her hand, and replied, "Don't look at it!"

Chen Lu was depressed for a while, didn't speak, and pointed to the soldier who fell at the door of the big tent. Nalan glanced at it, and they all had a thick layer of ice ballast on their faces. understood what Chen Lu meant, presumably Nalan's own face would be the same.

Nalan glanced at Chen Lu very seriously, and then leaned over to take a look. Chen Lu felt amused and said, "Hey, just take a look." He understood that he didn't have it on his face, and even if he did, it wouldn't be too much, otherwise Nalan wouldn't have looked at it like this.

Nalan said, "Big brother, you don't have it on your face. Where's my face?"

Chen Lu said: "A little, not much, come with me and take a look at these people." ”

When the two of them came to the big tent of Yessu, Chen Lu was taken aback, there were more than ten people missing, and Yesu was gone, all of them were those soldiers with thick ice crystals on their faces. Chen Lu glanced at Nalan and was really scared when he thought about it, it was obvious that someone had entered the camp, and Nalan was alone just now, which was also very dangerous.

Nalan saw that Chen Lu's face had changed greatly, and knew that something was wrong, and asked, "Big brother, what's the matter?"

"There are more than a dozen people missing, and even the speed is gone, just this time when I went to find you. ”

Nalan said: "Will it be like us, be able to move freely, and also go to patrol." ”

"I hope so, look for it, go, come with me to see the stables. ”

The two men came to the makeshift stables, and strangely enough, the animals were unharmed, eating the hay comfortably, snorting, and gouging their hooves. The two looked at each other, their faces full of surprise, and they wanted to take out their mounts and try them out in the camp, but Nalan was still shaking when he walked, how could he ride a horse?

Chen Lu said: "Brother and sister, we are on the road, it should have something to do with water, you stay in the camp, I will go to them." Nalan knew who he was looking for, hesitated, and nodded. , Chen Lu read helplessness, helplessness, dependence and fear in her eyes. She is now a patient, she can't even protect herself, how to protect the camp, her pride is gone.

Chen Lu had no choice, it was dangerous to throw her in the camp, and said, "Okay, you come with me, can you ride a horse?"

By this time the sun had already risen, and it was a semi-cloudy day, and the sun shone miserably in the not too thick clouds, and shone on the camp scatteredly, and there was a foul stench in the air, and a little salty taste.

Chen Lu said: "You take a rest first, and I'll go check the fence." Then he walked to the fence and put the big gap in the wood again, and strengthened it loosely. I was busy for almost an hour. Nalan watched him busy and saw that this senior uncle and old man were really careful. He saw that Nalan couldn't move yet, so he asked her to rest a little longer, and he took the opportunity to get it. I'm afraid that after a long time, wild things will come in and hurt people.

Chen Lu made arrangements and asked Nalan if he could go. Nalan nodded. Chen Lu watched her ride on the big white horse, took a few steps, and was already dangling on the horse. Chen Lu hurriedly ran over to support her and persuaded her to stay. Nalan didn't speak, just shook his head, his eyes supplied.

Chen Lu had no choice, so he tied the big white horse in front of the big tent and led the big green horse out of the camp. After the two came out, they closed the door of the big camp, checked it carefully, and the two of them rode on Chen Lu's big green horse, Chen Lu muttered a few words in the ear of the big green horse, and then recited a spell and sacrificed the green dragon sword. The Blue Dragon Sword hovered at the gate of the camp for a while. Flying into the air, swimming in the air for a while, a blue light flew to the southwest, releasing a stream of blue light, Chen Lu slapped the big green horse and followed closely.

Nalan clung to Chen Lu's clothes, and the two of them didn't care about any embarrassment, and galloped away. In less than a quarter of an hour, he found the Qinglong Sword and inserted it in the mud wall of the Great Chimney Pier. This is the beacon tower of the Han Dynasty, and the two of them looked up, built on a high mountain, and seemed to be under a patch of white clouds. Underneath the mud walls are several large wellheads.

Nalan remembered what Ha San had said, and quickly said that this is a salt well. Chen Lu dismounted, she also dismounted, her feet fluttering, Chen Lu asked her to sit on the steps and rest. Nalan told him: "This is a salt well, and it has been abandoned for hundreds of years. ”

Chen Lu's heart moved, and the problem was here. Nalan also told them about digging the soil and boiling salt. Chen Lu hurriedly searched for his memory, he read all the books, and his teacher Ade told him strange things about the Western Regions, and he remembered the story of the salt ghosts in the Western Regions. Ade once told this story, and it was quite terrifying.

Ade said that these salt ghosts live in groups, mainly in abandoned salt wells, do not go to rebirth, are not bound by heaven and earth, and some even eat people. When this story was told, Zicheng was still young, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep alone at night. It seems to be true, and this must be the thing I met today. The dishes these days are weird, think about the ice ballast on your body. Nalan doesn't eat turnips, and the connection is really related to salt. I don't know what order this Ha San ordered.

Chen Lu looked down, and there was no bottom, only to see the fog, the figures were thick, and there seemed to be a cloud of black gas surging back and forth, listening carefully, there seemed to be a faint cry. Nalan also looked down, startled, and hurried back to see Chen Lu grabbing her.

Nalan came to his courage and said, "Big brother, stir it up." "You will sacrifice the horse's head. Chen Lu stopped her and said, "No, our people are inside, in broad daylight, the salt ghosts are all hidden, that will only hurt their own people." ”

Nalan heard him say the salt ghost with certainty, and knew that he had already made a judgment, and said, "What then?" as he spoke, he looked inside.

Chen Lu pulled her over again, a little angry, and said, "Danger, your legs are unstable now, what should you do if you fall." It's daylight, and you're in trouble at night. ”

The two rode back to the camp. When he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and saw that Li Da was half dead, Chen Lu was anxious and said: "Brother and sister, there is no way, you have to stay in the camp, I will go to the Hungry Ghost Ridge last time to explore the path of these salt ghosts." Go down to the salt well at night to save people. ”

Nalan didn't dare to stay alone in the camp, and said, "Big brother, what is there to inquire about in Hungry Ghost Ridge, don't you want to see any relatives?"

Chen Lu said: "Don't be kidding. "I know she's scared, but it's really awkward for two to ride a horse. asked, "Aren't you afraid that the three Ha brothers will be captured by the salt ghost?" Nalan nodded.
