Chapter 22: The Way
The 3,000-mile Lancang River, across the 100,000 mountains, splits the lofty mountains, winds from the northwest to the southeast, and finally joins the Putuo Sea at the southern end of the mainland.
The Lancang Mountains at the southern foot of the 100,000 Great Mountains have strange peaks and rocks, rugged streams and rocks, ancient trees towering to the sky, endless rare birds and beasts, fierce tigers and wolves. The mountains are steep and uninhabited in the depths of the mountains, and the occasional hunter or herb picker will appear on the edge of the mountain.
This is the jurisdiction of Leizhou City under the rule of the Huaxu Dynasty, which opened a government in the upper reaches of the Lancang River, called "Lancang County", and ruled the western coast of the Lancang Mountains.
The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the forests are shady.
In the evening, the autumn breeze was blowing, and on the Panshan Avenue on the west bank of the Lancang River, where the deserted mountains were originally sparsely populated, the silence was suddenly broken by the sound of horses' hooves.
Suddenly, two tall wildebeest galloped one after the other, followed by two chariots.
On the two galloping horses, there was a thin old man and a rugged middle-aged man, both dressed in strong suits, with bows and swords on their backs. The two men were followed by two carriages, one with a canopy and one with a delicately crafted car, and the other full of goods, such as wooden boxes and jars.
In addition to the two coachmen, there were two other young men riding behind the palace, each dressed in short clothes, who were supposed to be the attendants of the entourage.
The old man's expression was solemn, his face was like a knife, and he raised his head to look around when he rode his horse, and his sharp eyes kept looking.
The middle-aged man who walked with him looked calm, his eyes did not squint in front of him, and he shouted a sentence: "Lord Barbarian, but there are orders, the dragon should serve his own life, and he will not give up!"
The old man let the horses run up and down, and his waist was straight without smiling.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "The journey is long and difficult, and there are frequent dangers, and today we finally arrived safely at the boundary of Lancang County, and Brother Long can be regarded as a great achievement." When he arrives in the county town to complete the escort task, the old man will step down from his position as the protector elder of the clan. ”
The self-proclaimed dragon and the middle-aged man hugged his fists in greeting, his eyes were excited, but he said humbly: "Lord Barbarian is in his prime, how can he unload the heavy responsibility on his shoulders?
The old man didn't answer again, his lips were tightly closed, his face was full of coldness, and suddenly his expression turned grim, tightened the reins of the horse, and looked back and raised his voice: "All tigers, all leopards, all plains, all wilderness, pay attention!"
Zhuyuan and Zhuye are the charioteers, while Zhuhu and Zhubao are two servants with knives.
The four of them understood, and the group slowed down, and someone in the previous carriage lifted the soft curtain of the canopy, revealing a daughter's pretty face, and then disappeared into the car.
"Rest assured, princess, we have reached the realm of the Celestial Empire, and I heard that the Leizhou side is full of things, and the people are well-educated, and there will be no more thieves blocking the road. ”
Lord Brute drank a word, and the man in the prime of life named Long Ji both stopped castration, and looked wary on the horse.
In the middle of the car, a delicate voice came out: "Elder Protector, when I went out, the patriarch father had already confessed, there was no princess of the Flying Barbarian Department along the way, so call me Green Barbarian!"
"This section, the old man has forgotten! Miss Green Man can call me an old man, and when I leave the Flying Barbarian Department, I can't mention the word elder anymore. ”
Elder Barbarian nodded and replied, and suddenly heard the strong man and shouted: "Where is the thief!"
The old man's face was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw the dragon with a long bow, pointing to a thick plant on the side of the mountain road, and the arrow cluster was about to shoot away.
"Hugh is reckless, don't hurt the innocent by mistake. ”
The old man shouted continuously, the rugged man's arm was crooked, and the arrow cluster "swished" out, breaking the thick branches of the big tree in the mountain col.
Tilting the carving, it can be seen that a young man stood up, his hair was fluffy and his face was confused, although his robe was luxurious, but it was a gray ragged silk, and a rough stone axe was inserted in his waist, which was even more funny.
"Who disturbs my dreams, is he going to kill people and rob money?"
The young man rubbed his eyes, shouted hatefully, and then saw that it was a convoy of roads, and immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Uh-uh........ It's good to finally see a living person, and it's good to go with you......."
"Don't do much in the barren mountains and mountains, don't pay attention to others, let's continue on our way. ”
The man in the prime of life let go of the reins of his horse, and had already driven forward, driving through the road without slowing down, only to hear the kid shouting: "It's inconvenient to take people, is there a salty and spicy taste? ”
The unkempt young man standing on the side of the road was Chen Chucai, who was hurrying in the mountains and forests, and his down-and-out appearance was not pretended by him.
With "Huaxu Gaiyu" according to the map, Chen Chucai traced the river along the river, did not encounter a single crowd along the way, and was intoxicated with the cultivation of the "Bugang Twelve Styles", and even reached no day and night.
This kind of cultivation artistic conception gradually conforms to the essence of the "method of stepping" - heart step!
Therefore, regardless of the thorns and stone ridges on the road, although the skin was fine, it was just a brand new child's clothes, and it was scratched in many places within a few days. Once, he also fell directly into the mountain road and ravine, and naturally made himself gray.
In the afternoon of this day, after Chen Chucai completed the thousands of steps and boxing skills a hundred times, he took a nap on a big tree branch on the side of the mountain road, and was shot by the dragon in his dream and broke the treetops and fell to the ground, only to realize that he was careless.
When you enter the world of human tracks, you can't be unguarded, and if you don't make trouble, you will die all of a sudden!
Although he was angry, he saw a living person for the first time when he returned to the land, and he didn't look like a nest of gangsters, so the young man suppressed his anger and took the initiative to talk to him, just wanting to ask for some salty and spicy tastes in the world.
A year of living on an isolated island at sea, in addition to the fishy smell of sea fish or sea fish, the mouth has already salted out of the bird. What's more, someone grew up in Jingchu, Huaxia in his previous life, but he is famous for his "spicy and not afraid" taste region.
It's a pity that these guys are incomprehensible and are about to run away in a hurry!
Chen Chucai's heart was annoyed and increased, and he was about to scold, but when he saw the car in front of him driving a little slowly, a woman's delicate voice came out: "Old man, stop for a moment! This trip is a long way, if we can accumulate more merits, the gods in the sky will also bless us all the way safe." ”
"Miss Green Man is kind-hearted, and she will definitely be blessed by the barbarian god!"
Elder Manbi spoke: "The chariot did not stop, and the leopards rode over, threw a bag of spring water and a bag of bacon to that boy, and then quickly caught up. ”
"Yes!"
The sword with the sword that called the leopards urged the horse to turn back, and when he reached the side of the road, he didn't say much, and quickly returned after leaving his things.
Chen Chucai grabbed two bags on the ground, first stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach, and couldn't help shouting: "The world is delicious.......
The voice fell, and he picked up the water bladder and drank a sip of water, and the young man burped comfortably, and clenched his fists: "Thank you!"
Looking up, I saw that the two carriages were escorted by people, who had already gone a hundred feet away, and their hearts were not anxious, so they slowly tied their robes and belts, and jumped into the mountains and went all the way.
