Heshute, sunny.

Heshuo is located in the northwest of the Central Plains, the terrain is more than 1,000 zhang higher than the Central Plains, the weather is warm and the temperature difference is very large, Wei Gui walked in a quiet and deep blue lake near the distant distance to see that there is no one around, according to his last time here has been 20 years, where there is the main city for a while can not remember, full of loess or strong grass can not distinguish the main and secondary roads.

"I'm so hungry~ so hot!" Wei Gui stuck out his tongue, his body was decadent, he simply lay on the lake and drank the lake water first, and then washed his cheeks, so that the hot cheeks were slightly soothed, "I was still freezing to death in the morning, and I couldn't wait to pick off this clothes just after half a day, but unfortunately I couldn't lose it, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out of this land at night." ”

"Baa~" When he was confused, Wei Gui heard a sheep cry in his ears.

"Huh?"

Wei Guiqi hurriedly got up from the ground with his arms propped up, turned over and saw that a herdsman was driving a group of sheep to find here, and before Wei Guiqi could open his mouth, the other party took the lead in shouting, "Who are you?"

"Hmm, can speak the Central Plains~" Wei Guiqi was overjoyed, he heard that the nomadic people were both hospitable and vigilant, and the herdsman in front of him was naturally familiar, and it also saved Wei Guiqi time to show that he was not a bad person.

"Young man~ Nakahara, right?" The herdsman has full hair, wrinkles, and is already old, with thick eyebrows and a round face, and his body is still strong, which looks like a local person.

Wei Guiqi was at first embarrassed, and then asked with a smile on his face, "Dare to ask my brother, where is the main city of Heshute? I have been gone for three days and three nights." ”

"Hehe~" The herdsman jumped off the horse with a hearty smile, took out a naan from the side of the horse, and naturally handed it to Wei Guiqi, "I see that your face is pale, and your breathing is extremely even, I think you have been hungry for a long time, right?"

"Eh~" Wei Guiqi is also a hob meat, an old oilman, but he was embarrassed to face such a good old man for a while, "Thank you very much!"

The herdsman took down the water bladder on the side of the horse again, and the aroma of wine instantly overflowed "Na~"

"Thank you, thank you, I don't drink~" Wei Gui was gobbling up the noodles, and for a while he had the strength to "Brother, where are you going?"

"Me, have you ever heard of the Lingyun Sword Pavilion on Kunlun Mountain?" said the herdsman, with mystery and smugness on his face.

"Coincidentally!" Wei Gui's mouth was stuffed with naan, and he looked at the herdsman happily, "I'm also going to Lingyun Sword Pavilion, I originally wanted to find the main city first, fill my stomach and prepare some clothes, and then buy a map to go up the mountain~"

"Haha, let me guess, you young man went up to the mountain to learn art?" The herdsman was also pleasantly surprised when he heard Wei Guiqi's whereabouts, and the two tacitly thought of the idea of their peers.

"Sort of, it's considered a learning art~" Wei Guiqi thought about the secret book that Ling Long handed over to him, this learning art is not wrong, but this apprenticeship, let's not mention it, "But brother, what are you doing driving the sheep to Lingyun Sword Pavilion?"

"Naturally, it's a sheep sale, they like my sheep, almost every year I send a batch of sheep to Lingyun Sword Pavilion, and they are old acquaintances" Speaking of this, the herdsman looked embarrassed, "Young man, I see that you are thin, I am worried that you will not be able to go to the mountain gate of Lingyun Sword Pavilion, I can meet children who freeze to death on the road every year when I go to the snow mountain, and I must be the same as you are going to learn from the teacher." ”

"Brother, I'm in good health, but since I went to Lingyun Sword Pavilion at the same time, can you borrow your eyes to let me shine?"

"Well said!

The two chatted for a long time by the lake, and the herdsmen knew the local weather and time, and when they were approaching Shen, they looked at the sky and put forward the idea of hurrying.

"Young man, ten miles further north there is a makeshift pasture I built myself, we need to get there before dark, otherwise we will run into some trouble!"

"Listen to my brother~"

"Hey, I see that you are only twenty, and I am seventy and nine, if you open your mouth and close your mouth to call me brother, I don't dislike it, my son will suffer. Haha"

Before leaving, a joke from the herdsmen made Wei Gui cry a lot more comfortable, the two walked on the grassland with strange rocks and strange scenes, the blue sky seemed to be close at hand, and the mountains on the side of the peaks and peaks seemed to be far and near, magnificent and oppressive, and the word magnificent could not be more appropriate.

When it was approaching, the sky was still bright, in other words, the Central Plains must have entered the night at this time, Wei Guiqi followed behind the herdsman's horse, and saw another house-shaped building under the distant mountain in front of him.

"That's it!" the herdsman said, pointing into the distance, before escaping a large knife from his bag and handing it to Wei Guiqi.

"Husa knife, what is this?" Wei Guiqi was a little puzzled, what did he mean by handing the knife to himself.

The herdsman said solemnly, "This generation is close to the snow-capped mountains, there are inevitably wild beasts, wolves, snow leopards or something, you take self-defense, if there are really beasts, I may not be able to take care of you." ”

Wei Guiqi took the big knife, and sighed with some emotion in his heart, "I am also a sincere person, fortunately I met me, in case I meet someone with a bad heart, it is difficult to say that I will kill people and take sheep." ’

Walking for half an hour, the two finally stopped at the foot of the mountain, the sheep bleated non-stop, Wei Gui felt that it was inevitable to attract wild beasts, this herdsman could send sheep for many years, presumably there must be their own magic method.

Sure enough, when Wei Guiqi followed the herdsmen into the small pasture, he saw that the herdsmen took out many thorny chains from the species and began to place them around the fence of the pasture.

As soon as the evening breeze blew and the night fell, the herdsmen lit a fire in the wooden house, and Wei Guiqi continued to talk with him around the fire.

"Young man, although I go to this Lingyun Sword Pavilion every year, I have never entered the mountain gate, it can be seen that they also have their own strict rules, you are blessed to meet me this time, I will help you with a good word when the time comes, don't be discouraged if you succeed or not, become the best, if you don't succeed, you have to go down the mountain with me, don't do those stupid things that move you, I heard that some people kneel in front of the mountain gate, in order to show their determination, begging Lingyun Sword Pavilion to accept themselves, but it's useless, immediately after a night, freeze into a stick, how can you have the life to apprentice~"

"What my brother said, I have written it down, if they don't accept it, I'll come down with you~" Wei Gui coped with it, he already had a plan in his heart, at this time, he would create a fire to beg for a fire, if he didn't accept it, he could sneak in again, there was nothing that he couldn't fight.

"Whew~"

While chatting, a wolf roar made the herdsman's face instantly solemn, and he immediately lifted a torch from the firewood and handed it to Wei Guiqi, and then lifted another one himself, and then the flames were all extinguished.

"Young man~ you hide by yourself, although the beasts are afraid of fire, and the torches can defend themselves, but these wolves are all clever masters, and they will find the fire and sneak up on you, unless you have to come forward~" After that, the herdsman rushed out with a knife.

Wei Guiqi touched the Husa knife in his hand and flicked the blade, and couldn't help but praise, "It's really a good knife, but the sharp one was given to me first." ”

Wei Guiqi pushed open the window of the wooden house to find out the situation outside, only to see the herdsmen holding torches in one hand and knives in the other, and several Tibetan mastiffs followed.

"If it's not a pack of wolves, let the old man solve it himself, breaking his degree is equivalent to breaking his experience, and it's not in accordance with the rules~" Wei Gui muttered against the window, the evening breeze made him feel cold, and immediately luck wrapped his whole body to warm himself.

After a few wolf roars, more than a dozen pairs of blue-green eyes appeared in the wilderness in the distance, and the old herdsman roughly exported the number of wolves, "About a dozen?" ”

The old herdsman shook his shoulders confidently, turned around and shouted at Wei Gui in the house, "Young man, don't worry, there are only a dozen, don't come out, I killed a few, and the others will run away~"

"Brother, I'm here~"

Wei Guiqi went up to the roof at some time, and shook the torch in his hand at the old herdsman, "Brother, I'll help you watch again, I heard that the wolf is alert, maybe he will sneak over, I should give you an eye." ”

"That's tired~" The old herdsman raised the torch above his head, so that it would not hinder his eyes, but also give the wolves a tall deterrent.

Sure enough, when the old herdsman wandered on the edge of the fence, the dozen or so wild wolves that were originally galloping on the opposite side suddenly slowed down, pacing back and forth in the distance, several Tibetan mastiffs screamed more and more, and almost rushed out to fight, so it seemed that he had an advantage, but the experienced old herdsman was faintly stunned in his heart, and after a while, he shouted to Wei Gui on the roof behind him, "Young man, put out the torch, I feel that there are more than a few wild wolves!"

"Really?" Wei Gui responded with a sigh of anger, and blew the dantian on the torch, instantly blowing it out, according to Wei Guiqi's own experience, he also thought that these dozen wolves were just taking the lead, the wolves had strict habits, and the discipline of fighting and retreating was greater than that of humans, looking at the seemingly hesitant appearance of a few wolves not far away, it was not difficult to tell what they were waiting for.

"Young man~You go in and close the doors and windows~" The old herdsman shouted again, but this time he didn't turn around and shouted at Wei Gui, it seemed that he was already a little lacking in skills.

Wei Guiqi stood up and responded to the old herdsman's words: "Okay~ Brother be careful!"

Wei Guiqi naturally didn't really enter the door, he just wanted the old herdsman to feel at ease, and sure enough, in a few breaths, among the dozen wolves not far away, a larger wolf let out a wolf roar again.

"Whew~"

Wei Guiqi stood on the roof and looked around, the wind in the grassland was very loud, many things need to be judged with eyes, this is not good, only to find that not only in front, there are different numbers of wolves in the same distance in the four sides of the small pasture are only wandering, it seems that they were all crawling in the grass before, with this wolf roar, nearly a hundred wolves immediately appeared, rushing to the small pasture from all directions.
