Deep in the vast and endless mountains, this place is dangerous and abnormal, and has always been surrounded by a large number of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, which is its natural barrier.

Backed by a thousand zhang of giant peaks, towering into the clouds, there is light snow on the peak from time to time, and the university is closed in winter, and there is no road to pass.

Even some old hunters who go into the mountains to hunt will not choose to go so deep, but fortunately, it is the bright spring season, and under the good spring light, there are still many people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.

Holding a hoe, carrying a small basket, or holding a javelin axe in your hand, you can pick a lot of valuable varieties such as old ginseng or mushrooms and herbs along the way.

There are also some small animals, such as badgers, roe deer, sika deer, etc., which do not travel fast, and occasionally stop to check the traps set a few days ago.

If they are lucky, they don't have to go any deeper, and the things in the trap will be enough for them to eat, for example, sometimes a large wild boar of 1,000 catties can be found in a pit, or a porcupine tiger.

In such a mountain, even such a ferocious beast would not stay in the depths of the mountain, where there is an existence that they cannot afford to provoke, and it is not their territory.

For example, some time ago, Liu Yuancai killed a bull with his bare hands.

Because of this, it is convenient for the townspeople and hunters near these mountains, even if they don't go deeper, they can get what they want in this vast mountain.

It can be said that this mountain is a natural treasure trove for their survival.

And digging mountain goods hunting, etc., have their own rules, some of the mountain goods that are not yet in the year, but some young seedlings are not picked, can not break the roots, then everyone has no food.

Generally, there is a red rope hanging on the mountain ginseng, which represents the owner's thing.

In addition, everyone abides by the rules and will not touch the goods in other people's traps, and there are few outsiders in the mountains over the years.

Therefore, several nearby villages and towns are very good at abiding by these unspoken rules.

But now, there are outsiders who want to go into the mountains to 'plan'.

At first, they wanted to find those familiar old hunters to lead the way, but they were unwilling, but then seeing the money given by these two people and their attitudes were also very good, then let it be.

Anyway, judging from the clothes of this man and a woman, they are all high-quality materials, and it doesn't feel like they want to 'plan' in the mountains.

After digging for a long time, digging some mountain goods, not enough money for their clothes, most of them are rich children from somewhere, come to this mountain to experience freshness.

"Go over there, it's the eastern mid-levels, there have been a few tigers recently, and no old hunter has taken them down for the time being, and it's also dangerous. A rough man in a leather coat with a flowery skirt covering his hips, with dark skin, stretched out his index finger and pointed in the direction of the east.

While walking, he was introducing the situation of Dashan to the two people around him, and these two people were Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao.

Listening to Orion's introduction to them, they hummed in response to their mouths, and didn't say much.

He walked a little deeper into the mountains, although both of them looked thin and tender, especially the girl was not as beautiful as a mortal.

I thought they were all pampered people, but they didn't want to act, but they were quite neat, and they were also vigorous when they climbed the mountain, and it seemed that they had practiced at home.

In this way, it also made the old hunter a lot easier, he was afraid that these people would not be able to walk and walk, and the kind of curiosity was still very heavy, and when the time came, he would have to let him save him, so he would really go home and not wait.

"Brother Zhang. Liu Yuan played with a piece of bamboo shoots in his hand, and shouted, the old hunter's surname is Zhang, and he is more than ten years older than them.

As for the 'old', it doesn't mean that he is old, but that he has been a hunter for a long time, and how can a real old man still go into the mountains to hunt.

"Eh, you say. Zhang Lao Orion carried an iron fork in his hand, jumped to Liu Yuan's side in three or two steps and said.

"I heard that the Bodhisattva was in this mountain, do you know?" Liu Yuan blinked, like a fledgling teenager who was curious about the secrets of the rivers and lakes.

"Then I haven't heard of it, but I know it. The old hunter was not shy about it, and he was not a stuffy gourd, so he chatted with Liu Yuan and the two as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I think that the disciples of the Bodhisattva Barbarian back then have been here in our town, and they have come a lot of times, in order to accept apprentices and select disciples, such as the big bull iron pillar in the village, etc., have all entered the Bodhisattva Man, and I don't know how it is now. The old hunter had a wistful look on his face.

"Later, I never saw it again, I was liquidated by the imperial court, and I don't know where I hid......" The old Orion's voice was a little low.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao glanced at each other, and both of them were a little surprised, they couldn't imagine that those bodhisattva ascetics were selected in the villages and towns near the mountains.

And the reason why Liu Yuan was curious was that he was going to the depths of the mountain to find the location where the Bodhisattva Man was now, which was agreed with the barbarian master.

Although the barbarian lord told him the location before, it was only a general direction, and it was easy to get confused after entering the mountain, so he found an old hunter who knew the way to lead the way.

The Orion's mouth was still talking, and Liu Yuan interrupted and asked, "Does that big brother Zhang know how to go to Xuetouling?"

As soon as he heard the three words Xuetouling, Zhang Lihu was not calm, looked back at his eyes, looked at the two of them suspiciously, and asked: "What are you asking about, do you want to go to this Xuetouling?" That place is the deepest part of the mountain, and it is about to approach the Qianzhang Peak. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Orion raised his hand and pointed forward, and the two of them looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a high peak, even if they looked at it from a distance, they could see its majestic and magnificent posture.

"Yes, I'm going to go inside. Liu Yuan didn't hide it, and nodded with a smile.

After that, Zhang Orion persuaded for a while, talking about how dangerous the depths of the mountains were, and how many terrifying beasts infested them, ordinary hundred and ten people did not dare to step into the clouds.

It's a pity that Liu Yuan couldn't be moved in the end, and the other party has insisted on wanting to go inside to take a look.

Today's young people, I don't know how thick the sky is, Zhang Orion sighed in his heart, go if you want, anyway, he can say everything.

Since it can't be stopped, it won't be blocked, but it just described in detail how to walk the road, and also told the two of them which areas are particularly dangerous, and those who can hide will take a detour.

He didn't have a good sense of these two people, and he was trying his best to help them.

It can also be seen that Zhang Orion is really for his good both, Liu Yuan nodded gratefully at the moment: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

I just responded briefly, and I didn't say much.

On the road behind, Zhang Orion seemed a little silent, and when he almost reached the limit, and even he didn't dare to go inside, the two sides went their separate ways.

Before leaving, I could still see Brother Zhang's shaking head and hear his sigh.

Pingshui can meet to this extent, it is really benevolent and righteous, Liu Yuanben also wanted to give the other party a little more money as a thank you, but Brother Zhang repeatedly refused to refuse, good man.

Thinking about these things in their hearts, the two walked in together, and now that they knew the road, their steps slowed down a little.

Liu Yuan has already figured out how many dangers there are in the deep mountains, and according to his current strength, there is no fear of his life.

Of course, there may be some truly powerful beasts that the world has never seen, but he Liu Yuan's luck can be so inch?

The road in the mountains is difficult to walk, the most important thing is that there are towering trees all around, and there are many grasses and shrubs, etc., and the road is relatively difficult to recognize, and soon the speed of the two slowed down again.

After less than an hour's journey, the two of them had already entered the depths of the mountain, and the peak in the distance was already very close.

It's a fight along the way, and the deer has already killed another one, but this time it's a little easier than last time.

was still bare-handed, and he killed the roe deer in three strokes and two blows, without delaying too much time.

After finishing the work, he carried two thighs of meat and hung them behind him in a fork, which was the ration after that, and boiled a large pot of broth, and the two of them walked forward after eating and drinking.

"It should be in that direction. Liu Yuan frowned, thinking about it and said to Pei Jiao.

"No, no, no, I think it should be in that direction. Pei Jiao shook his head, and pointed in another direction on the side, the direction pointed by the two was not much different, but it was a thousand miles away.

Liu Yuan glanced at Pei Jiao, and said, "Listen to me." ”

didn't dwell on this issue more, Pei Jiao thought for a while, then bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, then wait for me to make some markings, if not, let's go back." ”

Although there was no dispute, it was obvious that Pei Jiao still couldn't believe Liu Yuan's ability to recognize the way.

But soon, Pei Jiao found out that it seemed that she was really wrong.

After listening to Liu Yuan's instructions, turning left and right along the way, another half an hour passed, Liu Yuan paused and stood still, looked around and said, "It should be around here." ”

"Yes. Pei Jiao responded, as far as she was concerned, the environment around here was indeed very suitable.

The faster the two of them got to the back, and until now, they have not encountered any strange beasts beyond Liu Yuan's strength.

"Is it Liu Yuan?" A hoarse voice sounded behind him, and the startled Liu Yuan and the two suddenly turned their heads.

I saw an old man, looking at the two of them with calm eyes, wearing a gray robe, his hands naturally hanging on his sides, Liu Yuan looked at the other party slightly, didn't say anything, just nodded.

After receiving the confirmation, the old man walked forward and said, "Come with me." The two of them were a little surprised, can't anyone say a word and follow others, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan asked, "Is it the barbarian master's person?"

Hearing this, the old man didn't look back, and he didn't even stop his footsteps, only to hear a faint response: "En." ”

In just a few blinks of an eye, the figure of the old man was about to disappear, and it was so powerful? The two of them were surprised in their hearts, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they hurriedly chased forward.

Because they were busy on the road, in order to catch up with the old man in front, Liu Yuan and the others used ten percent of their strength, so that they didn't have time to look at the surrounding environment and route.

It didn't take long for me to remember the places I had passed.

And the old man on the other side also grasped it very well, kept his body steady, and didn't run too fast.

Keeping Liu Yuan and the two hanging behind him forever will not let his figure completely disappear from the sight of the two of them, and it will not make it easy for Liu Yuan and the two to chase after him.

At this level, about another stick of incense passed, and the two of them followed the old man to the entrance of a valley, gasping slightly.

"This is it. The old man said as he took the lead in the room.

The entrance is not big, but it is just big enough for one person to pass through.

After going in thoroughly, I found that it was a place of birds and flowers.

I don't know when, the old man has disappeared, and in his place is a slightly younger Bodhisattva disciple, who came to Liu Yuan and the others.

"The master has an order, only Liu Yuan is allowed to come alone, and he also asks the girl to wait outside. The man's speech was a little stiff, and his tone was very flat, even for a beautiful woman like Pei Jiao, he didn't mean to flatter him.

"Good. Liu Yuan responded and asked Pei Jiao to wait. The latter had no objection, she had come here because of curiosity, and she was already satisfied that she was allowed to enter this valley.

After going around and around, they came to the place, and the place where the barbarian lord lived was very interesting, but it was in a hole cut in the mountain wall.

Liu Yuan still followed the male disciple, tiptoe on the mountain wall and climbed up.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Liu Yuan had not yet settled down, when he heard a slightly surprised shout: "Brother Yuan." ”

The voice couldn't be more familiar, and when I looked closely, I saw Qin Keyi squatting at the door of the cave, with three points of surprise and five points of worry on his face.

After saying hello, Liu Yuan didn't think about what happened to Qin Keyi, so he went inside.

Obviously, the barbarian lord has been waiting for a long time, but after Liu Yuan came in, the barbarian lord looked at him with interest, and Liu Yuan, who was looking at him, wondered in his heart.

After a cup of tea, the barbarian master's voice echoed in the cave: "What do you want to ask? You saved Qin Keyi, as long as it is not too difficult to answer, I can answer you." ”

The voice doesn't carry any emotion, and there is no swagger when it comes to speaking, if you ignore its own momentum, you don't look like a master like the head of a faction at all.

Of course, the main reason is that Liu Yuan saved his daughter, and you have to try someone else.

Some words had been thought of before, and at this time, Liu Yuan repeated them again in his heart, and after finding that there was no problem, he opened his mouth and asked.

Naturally, it was about his father, and it was also a lot of pressure to ask the Bodhisattva barbarian master about the news of a Yuan Imperial Pavilion prefecture-level envoy.

Liu Yuan simply resorted to a roundabout method, and did not directly say that his father was a person from the Yuan Imperial Pavilion.

said his father's name, and some characteristics, if his father really came to the northwest for any important purpose, he should not be able to hide from the Bodhisattva barbarian.

"Liu Guanzhang ......" the barbarian muttered in a low voice, then looked solemn, looked at Liu Yuan and said, "What is your relationship with him?"

"It's my father. Liu Yuan didn't hide it on this point.

"Oh?" the barbarian lord's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he slowed down for a moment before he said, "I have news of your father." ”
