Chapter 24: Good Karma
The night is picturesque, the full moon hangs high in the sky, a good autumn season.
The mountains on the banks of the Lancang River are high and densely forested, the birds return to the forest, the mountain wind blows a little chill, and on the winding mountain road by the riverside, a team of cars stopped at the mountain bend and pass.
The four tall horses came together, and then they scattered back and forth, and after a few inquiries from front to back, left and right, they returned to the group, each loosened the saddle belt, and beckoned the two coachmen to take care of the livestock.
Suddenly, in the low-lying part of the mountain col, a bonfire was lit, and two legs of lamb were grilled, and the fragrance wafted far away.
The old barbarian minister, with the warriors of the clan, the tigers and leopards, the coachmen and the fields, sat around the fire, and the majestic man called the dragon still stood upright, guarding the canopy carriage and serving as a guard.
Suddenly, the dragon shouted: "Who is on the ridge, sneaky, what do you want?"
Elder Barbarian was also shocked, and took the tigers and leopards to get up suddenly, and the four curved bows were instantly full, pointing straight to the height of the mountain.
"Eh........ Don't get me wrong, acquaintance!"
Among the trees on the ridge, a gray-faced young man came out, with a stone axe in his waist and ragged clothes, which was Chen Chucai, who walked through the mountain road in the "Twelve Styles of Bugang".
After more than ten days and nights of mountain practice, Chen Chucai walked the pile with the subtlety of "heart step" and the "method of stepping".
Suddenly realized, gradually let go of the upper body muscles, and then relax the neck and cervical spine, and then smoothed all the way down, until the tail of the bone pelvis, only to feel that the footsteps are like flying, light and agile, and the speed is more than three times faster than running weekdays.
After thinking about it and summing it up, the cultivated teenager drew inferences from one case to another, and felt that as long as his state of mind kept up, the muscles and bones of his whole body were retracted and released freely, and he used pure leg strength to move, he could achieve this kind of rapid divine effect.
Hey, hey.......... Unexpectedly, the "method of Bugang" also contains such dexterous and fast body fighting skills, although it is an epiphany, but it seems to have created a magic skill by itself. The boy was immediately pleasantly surprised, and named it "Lazy Dragon Step", which means that the dragon's spine is relaxed and the body is casual, and he is lazy and running!
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Chucai walked through the mountains with a "lazy dragon step", constantly polishing his even enlightenment, and unexpectedly surpassed the mountain wildebeest as fast as he could, and caught up with the leading driving team.
"Tsk....... It's fate!"
Chen Chucai walked down the mountain and stood by the fire, wrapped his trousers tightly like strips, and waved his fist at the old man, and said with a sneer: "I have seen the old man and the eldest brothers, the meeting is fate, the wine and meat are a family......!
As he spoke, he stretched out his dirty hand and gestured, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
A burning branch smashed over, and a servant said: "The untouchables in the mountains and wilderness don't understand the rules!"
"Why is this big brother so ......?"
Chen Chucai smiled at the warrior of the Flying Barbarian Division, but his face was not annoyed, and he smiled and picked up the branch and threw it back into the fire.
The brute frowned, his expression was very solemn, he looked at the ragged young man and glared a few times, and shouted: "You young man is so rude, it is not easy to give drinking water and meat during the day, why do you keep an eye on the convoy, is it to plot wrong?"
"Chance encounter........ Chance!"
Chen Chucai looked sincere, clenched his fists and spoke: "I am alone in this mountain, and I have walked for more than ten days, planning to cross the mountain and go to Lancang County. Fortunately, my husband got food again, and I should meet and chat to express my gratitude!"
"That boy, get out of the way, don't disturb my young lady's rest. ”
The person who scolded was a strong man named Long Ji, with a scruffy beard, a rough face wrapped in a turban, half of his arms sticking out of the slanted leather robe, and his body was very burly and strong, a whole circle larger than Chen Chucai.
"Brother Long, don't scare a child. ”
Behind the rugged man, two women walked over, the woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, her expression was graceful and noble, her black hair parted from it, the tips of her hair were decorated with jeweled beads, coupled with her white cheeks, graceful figure, but delicate and gorgeous, and charming and moving.
Another girl looked like she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she also wore a splendid long skirt and a shawl for her hair, but the tips of her hair were devoid of jewelry, which made her handsome little appearance even more simple and natural.
The little girl looked delicate, but the corners of her mouth were unforgiving, and she suddenly opened her mouth and scolded angrily: "Pickled things, spread your dog's paws." ”
When everyone looked around, they saw the ragged young man by the campfire, with his bare shoulders and unkempt hair, stretching out his hand to grab the roast leg of lamb. He was not afraid of the heat, so he easily tore off a piece of the roast leg of lamb, and praised it comfortably: "It's so fragrant......"
"You ........"
This time, the fierce-looking dragon was stunned, and his expression was inexplicable.
"Dog thing!"
There are even more flying warriors and tigers, raising their leather whips high in their hands, and they are about to whip them over.
And the noble woman sighed at the right time: "Forget it, a good person will do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west! ”
Long He was still about to have a seizure, but when he heard what the flying barbarian said, he had to retreat silently.
Everyone sat down with the noble woman, but they heard the younger girl cover her nose and laugh: "Miss, that person is really pickled, stinks to death......"
The woman pursed her lips and smiled: "Cui'er has a good heart, go to the car to find him a change of clothes." ”
"Hmph....... Not really!"
Xiao Cui'er said, but saw the pickled young man, holding a piece of barbecue mutton in his mouth, lying on a bluestone by the fire, already asleep.
In fact, Chen Chucai is not asleep at the moment, he is really pretending to sleep.
Walking out of the 100,000 mountains, and finally returning from the isolated island on the sea, Chen Chucai met the first group of people and wanted to take the opportunity to understand many situations in the city outside the mountain, so he pretended to be crazy and seemed to be on it.
I only heard the noble woman speak: "Elder Bi, you have bothered a lot along the way......
"It's all a matter of old decay, through the three thousand miles of the Lancang Mountains, it is a flat river, and then it is safe, and it will be a few hundred miles to reach the Lancang county town. ”
It was the voice of a lean old man.
Xiao Cui'er was laughing again: "I don't know if the third son of Lancang County, his character and appearance are good, and he is geometric, is he worthy of my princess?"
Princess.......
Chen Chucai closed his eyes, but his heart moved, no wonder this woman behaved well, she turned out to be a princess, but she didn't know which city or country was the golden branches and jade leaves?
"Snort....... Hugh a lot of words. ”
The strong man scolded in a low voice, and pointed to the young man lying on the bluestone, so startled that Xiao Cui'er hurriedly stuck out his tongue.
However, the guy who seemed to be sleeping soundly raised his head and opened his mouth to ask, "The beautiful girl is actually a noble princess, and she is also going to Lancang County......?"
This question was obviously to find out the secret of the convoy, the old man frowned, threw down the meat and bones in his hand, and the cold light flashed in his eyes. The tigers and leopards also stopped eating and drinking, and their expressions were not good.
The beautiful woman was quite generous, and said calmly: "I am a member of the Western Wilderness Barbarian tribe under the Lancang Mountains, how dare I call myself a princess when I reach the realm of the Heavenly Empire! This trip is because of a marriage contract when I was a child, and I went to Lancang County to complete the marriage, and the journey is still thousands of miles away, so do you want to accompany you all the way?"
"Huh....... That's it!"
Chen Chucai stood up, pulled the robe that was rare to cover his body, and smiled awkwardly: "Chen is about to travel to Lancang County, wouldn't it be a happy journey to be accompanied by two beauties!"
