After nightfall, the salt valley has its own good scenery. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info starry and brilliant, the pool water is like a mirror, and the scenery is infinite.

Walking along the pond to the lakeside, I was even more surprised that the vast mountain villa was just a little chessboard. Turning to this end, I suddenly felt a light in my eyes, and my mood suddenly brightened. Looking into the distance, the heaven and earth are completely wilderness, and there is no edge in sight.

The paddy fields are scattered, the channels are vertical and horizontal, and the original Bai Qingzhou's people have already made such reclamation in this paradise, which is enough to be passed down from generation to generation.

At that time, the forces of Jin Xiameng had withdrawn from the valley, and Qianyin also expressed his original intention to Bai Qingzhou. Bai Qingzhou agreed to take off one of the true gentians, and the rest continued to shelter the inhabitants of the valley, and Qianyin was naturally grateful.

Xiao Shi has nothing to do with the trip to the true gentian, and Qian Yin is not good to bother him anymore, plus he is tired after the competition, so he was settled in the bamboo house by the Bai family to rest.

"It's faster to go by water. Bai Qingzhou took Qianyin on the bamboo raft and propped up a long artemisia to guide them.

The evening breeze is gentle, the reeds dance lightly, and the lush forests and fields by the lake show a unique dark green in the night.

The surface of the lake is slight, the cranes perch on the fish flying, and the boat is not seen, but the scenery is moving.

The bamboo raft floats quietly and slowly on the water, and in the dark night, the canopy is upside down and projected, and people walk in the reflection of the stars on the water.

The shimmering light floats in all directions, coupled with the fresh air from far and near, and the songs coming from nowhere, I feel that the whole heart is becoming more and more precipitated.

"This is really a good place to live in seclusion...... Yin'er safely scooped the water and fished for the stars, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to break the artistic conception here.

It's a pity that this silence was still destroyed by Lin Qian: "Mr. Bai, do you think the little prince of northern Shaanxi is 'stirring up the situation'?"

Lin Qiandu Bai Qingzhou once instructed Li Chunyou how to fight against the Mongols, so she would not obey anyone purely because of who was strong, but she would not choose the lord she did not recognize, so she did not think of the little prince's thoughts.

Yin'er was stunned for a moment, holding her breath and paying attention, she knew that Lin Qian cared about her brother's opponent very much.

"If there is no Mongolia, I will consider choosing the little prince, after all, his ideal is that the world is peaceful, there is no war, and it is better for the people. Bai Qingzhou's movements slowed down as he replied.

"If it is only limited to the chessboard of the Jin Song Dynasty, the strategy of the little prince is not impossible. However, the territory continues to extend outward, and the little prince is simply an obstacle in the region, and being too stubborn may hurt the people in the world. That's why Bai Qingzhou rejected the little prince, and also reminded him that he couldn't go his way.

"Maybe he thought the same thing as me in his heart, thinking that he knew the situation well, but after meeting Mr. Bai, he realized that he was sitting in a well and watching the sky. Lin Qian was calm.

Bai Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and smiled lightly: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." ”

After going ashore, I walked for a while, and saw a few people of the Bai clan along the way, and when I saw that they were close to the true gentian, I gave them some things. Unlike daytime pills, which need to be taken, these things can be carried with you. It's strange that on the way to the real gentian, there was no poisonous snake or beast in the way, so obedient.

Even if Jinling is here, it will not be easy to find a way to deal with snakes and beasts, these people who do not know martial arts and poison arts and only rely on wisdom to survive, it is possible to cultivate and cultivate in a few months, but how did they discover the strategy of taming these poisonous snakes and beasts?

"The name of this place is Cherishing Salt, and as the name suggests, it is rich in salt. Those who are suitable for passing through have salt ponds. Bai Qingzhou said.

"What, this is...... Salt?"

"This corner of the Salt Valley is very hot and dry, and the heads of these poisonous snakes and beasts are soft, and if they sprinkle salt, they will lose water and shrink and die, and over time, they dare not approach when they see salt, so that all the snakes and beasts dodge with it. Bai Qingzhou explained.

"So I waited hard to kill the inaccessible poisonous flower, and the countermeasure was in the name of this salt valley. Lin Qian was embarrassed.

"I didn't know before that the flower offered by the snake beast could have been used as medicine to save lives. Bai Qingzhou watched Lin Qian picking, and he was on the cliff, and he did his best work.

"Thank you, Mr. Kashiwa. Lin Qian finally got this hard-won true gentian with her consent, and her gratitude was overflowing.

"No thanks, I have promised to go out with you, and this is what I should do. Bai Qingzhou said.

"Mr. Kashiwa. Lin Qian said to her sincerely, "Mr. Lin Qianzhi was forced by everyone to meet each other, although he also thought that it was a pity that Mr. Qian's talent was buried, but he never wanted to be difficult - if Mr. is not willing to leave the Salt Valley, he can not leave." ”

"Although the appearance is forced, the choice of the Lord is voluntary. Bai Qingzhou's eyes instantly burst into tears, "This sharp sword has been tempered for so long, and it has long been waiting for the presiding officer of destiny to come out of the sheath-" He stepped forward and saluted, his mind resolute: "Lord." ”

"Mr. out of the mountain, the common people are lucky!" Lin Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly helped her up.

The next day, the murderous spirit of Shentang Fort continued unabated, and no one from Jinmengxia left the country.

In fact, as long as Bai Qingzhou goes out of the mountain, the rest of the forces will definitely kill quickly, and will never give the opponent a chance to eliminate the other's strengths.

Now that they have the same hatred, it will be difficult for Lin Qian, Yin'er, and Xiao Shi to ensure the safety of Bai Qingzhou once they leave the valley.

However, Bai Qingzhou was fearless about this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord. The news of the deliberate blockade by the Jin side should have also arrived in Longshan now, and the allies knew that the lord was here, so they must have sent to meet him. With them, I can protect myself. ”

The Bai family has always had their own unique way of communicating with the outside world, for example, the last time Bai Qingzhou's confidant was captured, he tied the news to the crane's leg and ventilated the news, and this time Qianyin also ventured out of the valley to leave a mark in the town to the allies who might come, instructing them how to contact the valley.

Sure enough, the allies lagged for a few days and finally had news, including He Huiru, Gu Tingxian, He Pinzhang and several masters were already waiting outside the valley, and they couldn't enter temporarily due to the bad weather.

"Isn't it enough to have Huiru?" Yin'er smiled, Huiru could make a salt valley by herself.

"Earlier, I actually thought about taking her to search for poison, but although she can be invincible to poisonous snakes and beasts, she may not be able to withstand the bad weather, and I really don't want her to be in danger, so I can only give up. Lin Qian said.

"Haha, pack up and go out of the valley together, and introduce Xiao Shi to them by the way!"

Surrounded by strong enemies, eyeing the tiger, fortunately, Bai Qingzhou's proverb of "if you get it, you will win the world", it will not rise to the battlefield level for a while, and it is serious to fight between countries, but I have to say that now the Jinmeng masters are working together to block because of the small see the big, and Lin Qian has a certain problem after taking Bai Qingzhou. This is also why Bai Qingzhou said that there is also a possibility of war between Song and Mongolia, and it is probably one of the reasons why Bai Qingzhou finally chose one of the two against Song and Mongolia.

In fact, it takes guts to get the boat in the end, but there are always risks and opportunities.

Satisfied, he introduced Bai Qingzhou and Xiao Shi to the allies, but the reality dealt a heavy blow to Qianyin......

On this morning when Xiao Shi was nowhere to be found, they unexpectedly found their dwelling, containing the burden of true gentian-

Vanish into thin air!

"This!" Yin'er probably knew what was happening, and although it was not the first time she had been betrayed, it was too quick and too unexpected.

The day before yesterday, Xiao Shi was still a timely rain who helped them get the real gentian! His bitter hatred for the Jin people didn't seem to be pretending!

"The two of us temporarily forgot our original intention to compete for Mr. Bai, but we didn't know that he and ours came for the same purpose, the same for the true gentian......" Lin Qian thought of Xiao Shi's appearance of picking leaves and flying flowers that day containing supreme poison techniques, and he inevitably regretted it when he connected them, obviously he had a hint but still didn't think of it, "I ruled out so many possibilities, all based on Mr. Bai, but he is not for either side of Jin Xiameng, nor is he purely to help the allies, he is for himself!"

At the same time, Bai Qingzhou's maid came to report to Bai Qingzhou, and the real gentian on the cliff was completely gone. Xiao Shi, he knew that they used salt to prevent snakes and beasts the night before!

Now, although there are still snakes and beasts outside the valley, most of them are just the remnants of the aura of the true gentian, which will soon be dissipated, and the people of Jin Xiameng will also know about it.

Xiao Shi has nothing to do with the trip to the True Gentian? No, it's not that he helped them get the True Gentian, but they helped him get it!

"The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that the people of Jin Xiameng don't know that the true gentian is no longer there for the time being, and we must join Huiru as soon as possible. Moreover, in order to avoid disturbing the people in the valley in the future, Huiru had to reluctantly enter the valley once, summon a batch of poisons, and order them to gather and shelter in place. Lin Qian said.

"Good. Bai Qingzhou nodded, and it could only be like this for the time being, "Fortunately, Xiao Shi took the true gentian, and he didn't deliberately do it against my people, but he just happened to tear down our survival barrier, otherwise...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”

Yin'er's face was hot, and "absolute mutual trust" was said, but it was not established in just a few days, which was really a slap in the face.

"Yin'er. One day we will see you again, and he will join us. Lin Qian smiled and pressed on her shoulder.

A young hero like Xiao Shi who defends his family and the country, betrayal is accidental, and appearance is inevitable, not only Xiao Shi will eventually put aside his own selfishness to join, but there will be more Xiao Shi appearing or have appeared, and the general trend is also.

Don't forget, "If Jinmeng fights first, it is also in this land that once belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and our side should not mix with each other indiscriminately, and even go to help the new wolf drive away the old tigers, so I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the Great Song family to recover." This answer to Bai Qingzhou is not a groan, but exactly what Xiao Shi said.

The true gentian was accidentally stolen, and Xiao Shi didn't even leave a leaf for Qianyin.

was so frustrated, Qianyin returned to the allies, and he could only explain that the heroes had protected Bai Qingzhou and sent a message to the people in the rivers and lakes to find Xiao Shi everywhere, and then packed up again and set off to Jiazhou to find Lingxian Grass.

The person who escorted the sound of Huanchen Yuansheng also happened to return recently, and told him that a total of three treasures were needed to cure the fire poison, all of which were indispensable. The third thing that Yuan Sheng didn't explain that day was that he himself wasn't sure if there was a king of fierce beasts in the world.

At this point, Yin'er also wanted to say that this old guy is really unreliable...... So it may not be as Yuan Sheng said, it is indispensable, it is possible that the spirit fairy grass alone can cure Yin'er?

Lin Qian will not give up any hope.

Along the border all the way north to Jiazhou, the traces of the war became more and more apparent.

Bai Qingzhou mentioned that in the autumn and winter of last year, not far from the Hedong Road, the Mongols had invaded the Jin Dynasty, and had a standoff with the prison army Wanyan Tianji, and Li Chunyou, the first king of Western Xia, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, and came to chase and kill, but found nothing.

"The Great Mongolia is the real opponent of Wanyan Jing and Wanyan Yonglian's Northern Frontier Economic Strategy, no wonder Wanyan Yonglian's recent return to the dynasty to govern should be inseparable from the recent invasion of the Mongols. When Lin Qian saw this vicissitudes of the sea, he thought of Tian Lianqian Mo in the Salt Valley, and he couldn't help but feel compassion.

"It turns out that Genghis Khan's revenge on the Jin Dynasty has begun......" sighed.

Mr. Bai said that Wanyan Yonglian had noticed the deployment of Hedong as early as the Battle of Shandong, and it was indeed invaded in November, so far-sighted. Lin Qian said.

"My father faced the enemy on both sides, but he still advanced and retreated calmly, and he was really the strongest hero in the world. Yin'er nodded. Who doesn't have a strong rival? My father is still the strongest in the world.

In mid-February, she traveled day and night and finally arrived at her destination. Tiejiazhou, which once belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, still stands on the bank of the Yellow River, surrounded by water on three sides, and the cliff is volleying.

Nowadays, it has become the border pass of the Three Kingdoms of Jinxiameng, and every time it comes to the old ruins, it is full of emotion.

Qianyin followed the strategy of finding the true gentian, and began to explore the journey of Lingxian grass in Jiazhou, it stands to reason that the language here is a little more fluent, and it should be much faster than the previous time to find medicine, but to Qianyin's surprise, there is no local place in Jiazhou like the salt valley, with a hot and dry environment to provide cold and poisonous growth, and even on the contrary, there are several wilderness, amazingly cold, frozen.

Qianyin could only turn to ask for help, and found the old man who was said to be the most proficient in poison in Jiazhou, who was over the age and senile...... This name is very familiar, I think about it, and I can remember it soon......" Then he thought for a long time, flipped through a lot of books, and slapped the table when Qian Yin almost fell asleep, "By the way, I remember, half a month ago, the girl from the Qin family in Shaanxi came to take it, it was the poison of the fiercest fire in our Jiazhou!"

"The poison of the fire" is like thunder, and the voice of the voice is only a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the sound of the deep voice or the old man in front of him, which one is more credible? It is like talking nonsense! How can they use the poison of the fire to cure the fire poison on Yin'er's body! Obviously, what they are looking for is cold poison!

Chew carefully, even more ridiculous, "half a month ago" and "the girl of the Qin family in Shaanxi" - the Qin family who controlled Xianzhuang to develop fire poison in the old man's mouth was Qin Min and Qin Yu's mother, that is, the woman who almost killed Lin Chujiang more than 20 years ago but accidentally caused Yu Ziyan to combine with her, she has already died......

However, this explains why there is no local environment suitable for cold poison in Jiazhou - because it is more tolerant of fire poison.

"Oh, it's a pity that another little girl took it yesterday. The old man was still talking to himself, this "yesterday" obviously happened a long, long time ago......

"The fire poison that the Qin clan can't take from the string control village may have been taken away by others, but Yuansheng is still in Jiazhou in his memory, so he carved the boat to ask for a sword. Lin Qian understood, Yuansheng had the impression that there was a supreme treasure spirit fairy grass in Jiazhou, Yuansheng didn't remember the cold and fiery nature, only remembered that the medicinal effect was strong, and its existence in Jiazhou was before Yuansheng became a demon, and the two of them were no longer in place before they were born.

Therefore, the three things that Yuansheng wants, the same gain and loss, the same only legend, the same and the same mindset, Qian Yin spent dozens of days wandering outside only hoping to cure the fire poison, but there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it is impossible not to be depressed.

Lin Qian took Yin'er to look for a few more days on the border, but he had no clue, so he could only decide to go home.

At noon on this day, Qianyin traveled to an unknown remote mountain village, where the people were singing and dancing lively, Yin'er was still passing by, and when he saw this scene from afar, he immediately came back to his senses and ran over happily.

"Here...... There should be many ethnic ......" Lin Qian judged at a glance based on his clothing and appearance that this was a place where various ethnic groups lived together, including Jurchen, Khitan, and Han people, and perhaps also took in the Tangut people and passed through the Mongols.

These people were different from the gloom and fog seen in the rest of the world, and they were immersed in their own world and laughing, unaware that war was imminent. Lin Qian was stunned for a moment - Wanyan Yonglian, Liu Yue, Xiao Wangye, himself and Yin'er all hope to see the world is the same, peaceful coexistence, vaguely so simple, so peaceful.

It's a pity that Bai Qingzhou Zhulu talked about the world at night, the allies led by Lin Qian, the Jin State supported by Wanyan Yonglian, the Mongolia ruled by Genghis Khan, and the Western Xia and Song courts omitted by Bai Qingzhou.

How long and where can such tranquility exist?

"Where did the two friends come from?" finally a woman came up to ask in a smiling and hospitable voice, and as soon as she came, several children were gathered behind her, and they looked at them curiously.

"In Xia Xutu, she is my wife, we are from Jiazhou, passing through here. Lin Qian's pseudonym, Yin'er was stunned: "Hey, why is your surname Xu?"

"Do you have time, hurry up and participate in our next riding and archery competition, you can try it if you can shoot or not, the top three will be rewarded!" The woman pointed to the horses, bows and arrows, and arrow targets not far away.

"Okay, let's participate!"

"Alas, how can you promise so quickly! In case the reward is a woman's ......," Lin Qian said hurriedly.

"Then marry. Yin'er laughed heartlessly.

The rules of the competition are as follows: everyone needs to ride a horse and shoot arrows, at first the target is 20 steps away, shoot three arrows in a row, according to the number of times the bullseye hits, the top half stays, the second half is eliminated, and then the arrow target moves to 40 steps away, and continues to compete with three arrows, and then 60 steps, 80 steps, 100 steps, until the top three are decided.

The whole village, young and old, came to participate, and for them, entertainment was above all else, and they didn't feel ashamed to lose if they couldn't shoot, so within twenty steps, there were countless shots that couldn't be missed. Forty steps later, there was not much left. Although they specialize in not archery, they are obviously much more powerful than them, and this competition seems to be specially set up for them.

Compared with the singing and dancing lineup, there are far fewer women participating in riding and archery, but there are four or five who are good at it, and there is one who is particularly outstanding, still at sixty paces, young and heroic.

"It would be nice if Xu Nerd was here, he is a hundred steps through Yang. Yin'er was thinking about Tianjiao, and the girl had already started a conversation with Lin Qian. No, no, hurry up and adjust your breath, concentrate, aim at the arrow target, and in the next round, the women who are shortlisted with Lin Qian can't have anyone else but themselves.

At that time, there were eight people left in the competition, and her grades were comparable to this girl, but one of them happened to be eliminated if they could be shortlisted.

stumbled and finally killed the woman to enter the semi-finals, only then did she notice that there was a man who was tied for the top spot with Lin Qian, and he had never missed the shot.

The man had a tiger's head and ape arms, a black face and beard, and an excellent ability to hold a bow and shoot arrows, eighty steps, Yin'er and another man were out, one hundred steps, he and Lin Qian were still in a draw, and everyone had to play for them and move the arrow target to one hundred and twenty steps.

When I asked about the villagers, I learned that this person was also a passer-by in this small mountain village, and Yin'er saw that his bones looked very similar to Mongolians.

A hundred steps is already extremely difficult, add another twenty, and it will all depend on luck to win, and when that person and Lin Qian finally separated the winner, it can be regarded as seeing everyone's eyes straight and their hearts hanging in their throats. Both of them looked calm and composed, meeting opponents in chess.

"It turns out that the reward for the first place is not a beauty, but a new big house built by the village chief's family. Yin'er smiled and came over to greet Lin Qian.

"But, Yin'er, are we going to live here? Lin Qian said that it was really tyrannical.

"It's good to have a place to stay, and come back to rest when you pass by in the future. Yin'er grinned.

"Let's go, I'll show you the house. At this time, the handsome girl patted Lin Qian's shoulder and said that she would take them there.

After appreciating the beautiful house, Lin Qian had an urgent matter to leave, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the girl.

"The king of the alliance, I'm afraid that I owe another love debt. Yin'er saw that his face was flushed, and he smiled and teased.

"It's all your fault, this big house is going to be vacant as soon as it's finished. Lin Qian glared at her.

"But it also makes you meet a good opponent. Yin'er said.

"Shicai shouldn't show the dew, I thought that this place was full of ordinary people, but I didn't expect that there would be a Golden Horde warrior among them. Lin Qian Zhengse said.

"Golden Horde?" Yin Er was stunned.

"His skeleton and appearance are all Mongolian, and he is so good at archery that it is impossible not to be a warrior of the Golden Horde. Lin Qian said.

"That's right. Yin'er nodded and smiled, "But it's nothing to show him, the edge is always hidden and rusty, and we are not very modest people." ”

"That being said, they may have come to the Jin Dynasty to spy on the enemy. Lin Qian was much more modest than her, "The enemy is outnumbered, and if it is too conspicuous, it is better to avoid it." ”

"Haha, don't make excuses, when have you ever been afraid of the enemy, are you afraid of other people's little girls......" Yin'er hadn't finished speaking, and was already sealed by Lin Qian.

As he turned away from the village, there was a great roar of people behind him, apparently another round of singing and dancing had begun, and he was afraid that the convention would continue until evening, when the bonfire was lit.

Yin'er glanced at the sound, under the slanting sun, where Shi Cai walked through, there were all winding mountain roads, winding like a long dragon.

No, it's been so long, and I've always been walking...... Winding paths.

"Winding paths, leading to secluded places......" Yin'er couldn't help but have some longing, if she could live in seclusion for the rest of her life, no matter where she cherished the salt valley, this small mountain village or Qianxi......

"What's the matter, I can't bear that big house? I don't want to stay for a few more days? Lin Qian asked with concern.

"No, don't. Yin'er shook her head seriously and stared at him, "You are Lin Qian, and you can't leave the battlefield for half a moment." ”

So, move on, put aside those secluded thoughts that occasionally want to escape, and step into the next broader destiny with Lin Qian.

It was getting dark.

The clouds cover the mountain like a mountain, barely divided into two sections by the setting sun.

The Mongolian master who won the second place searched for a moment at the song and dance conference, but he was slow to see the figure of Qianyin. Pinched his fingers and frowned.

"Why is the man who won me today gone?" asked the attendant in a low voice, but the answer was that they seemed to be gone.

"What, when did you leave!" The Mongolian master's face changed drastically, "How can you let him go?!" He got up in a hurry and said sternly, "Catch up with him and kill him!
