Chapter 5 Tenzin the Black Mastiff
The day has come again. After the sun rose, a man and a wolf got up and hurried. After tossing for a night, the man and the wolf reached a tacit understanding and slept lazily.
However, as soon as I was in a hurry, a feeling of fatigue followed, after all, it was in the desert, and fighting wits with wolves consumed a lot of energy, and the water of Cistanche was okay to save my life, but it was far from enough to quench my thirst.
The wolf could hardly hold on, and at noon, on a sand beam, the wolf suddenly stumbled and rolled down.
Duan Youda was overjoyed, and carefully walked to the place where the wolf was far away. The wolf lay on his side on the sand, panting heavily, the ribs under his skin protruding, and he looked up at Duan You, his eyes were resentful, and his hooves moved a few times, but he could not stand up.
Duan You smacked at the wolf, bypassed the wolf, climbed over the sand beam, and walked back.
After walking more than twenty steps, Duan You slowly stopped, thought for a while, and turned around and walked towards the wolf.
He's going to kill the wolf! Many days have passed, if Duan Ling is fine, it doesn't matter if she finds it one day later, if she is caught, it won't make a big difference if she goes a few days earlier, and her father, mother, and Mr. Chen may have found Duan Ling. Now, he wants to kill the wolf, this lame ghost and leprosy wolf forced him to walk the wrong road for three days and two nights, and he still wants to eat him, this revenge is not avenged, he is a man in vain, the master wants to eat you!
Duan You walked back murderously, the wolf had already gotten up, and was jumping on the sand beam with a jump, intending to chase Duan You, it seemed that it had not given up. Duan You shouted, but saw the wolf standing still, the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't retreat, Duan You didn't dare to hit the stick in his hand after all.
One man and one wolf, one on top and one on bottom, confronted each other again.
Soon, there was a reversal scene: the wolf was in front, the person was behind, and the man forced the wolf to go. However, the direction of walking has not changed, and it is still northeast. The wolf didn't want to go west to the south, Duan You couldn't help it, so he had to follow it, follow the wolf, and take the opportunity to hit a stick when the wolf went down the sand slope. The wolf was powerless to resist, and his crawling speed was getting slower and slower. It seems that if this continues, the wolf will die before dark.
Suddenly, the wolf became irritated, turned around suddenly, jumped next to Duan You, and ran backwards quickly. Before Duan You could react, he heard a loud noise in his ears, a black whirlwind whistling by, and the wolf screamed.
Duan You fixed his eyes and saw a big black mastiff standing in front of him, with a big head and a square mouth, his eyes like copper bells, and his majesty.
Duan You was frightened and crazy, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, but subconsciously, he raised his stick, bowed his body, and made a wrong step.
"Hahahaha-" At this moment, a burst of laughter came, and I saw a person walking down the sandy slope in front of him, tall and strong, with a long scar on his face, wasn't it the black tiger who was called a "rotten face ghost" by Duan You or who was it?!
The rotten face ghost caught Duan You in the air that day and lost his center of gravity, and was also swept down by the flood, rushed ashore at the downstream of Duan You's water, picked up his life, and found Duan You's traces when he walked back upstream along the big river, and chased all the way, and there was a night wolf howl to guide him, and he easily chased Duan You.
Duan You saw the rotten face ghost and the black mastiff, and knew that he couldn't escape, so he held on to his death, and said in his heart Father, mother, Ling'er, and Grandpa Chen, you are alive and well! Stretch your stance, ready to fight for your life.
But Duan You didn't think it was all right, this black mastiff is not a bad-faced ghost!
The grim-faced ghost held a wooden stick with a sand date on his shoulder, two cowhide boots on his shoulders, walked barefoot, step by step, and said with a cruel smile on his face: "Boy, you have hurt the second master and me so hard!" glanced at the black mastiff again, "Wait for the second master to dig up the dog's heart, and then clean you up when you are full." As he spoke, he threw the cowhide boots on his shoulders and struck at the black mastiff with his club.
The black mastiff dodged, dodged the blow, whined and roared, and pounced on the grim-faced ghost. A man and a mastiff then tumbled and rolled.
This rotten face ghost white tiger is the second of the "Five Tigers of Mobei", strong and ruthless, infinitely powerful, and famous, while the mastiff is the king of dogs, with a strong body, fierce and brave, and can fight tigers and leopards. This "tiger" is a mastiff fight, which is cruel and abnormal, but seeing the yellow sand spreading, blood and rain are flying.
After fighting for nearly half an hour, the shoulders, arms, and legs of the rotten face ghost were covered with blood, and the clubs in his hands were only a foot long; blood was also bubbling from the black mastiff's head and mouth, and one of his front legs was broken. The pace of the fight between the two sides has slowed down.
Suddenly, the rotten face ghost rolled around, drew a dagger in his cowhide boots, held the dagger in one hand, held a short stick in the other, and made a sound in his mouth, his arms flew up and down, left and right, and ran over the black mastiff like a wheel, the black mastiff was invincible, and the abdomen ate two blades, and the dagger almost entered the handle. The grim-faced ghost laughed, waved the dagger, and stabbed it at the black mastiff's throat, the black mastiff turned his head violently, opened his mouth and bit his wrist, and the rotten face retracted his hand, and the black mastiff bit the dagger.
The black mastiff bites the dagger and does not let go, and the rotten face ghost does not let go, in the stalemate, the rotten face ghost picks the other hand round, and the stick smashes at the black mastiff without a head or face, and the black mastiff's eyes are almost bursting, and he is about to die.
At this moment, Duan You finally took aim for a moment, and quietly stepped up, and pointed a stick under the right rib of the rotten face ghost!
The figure of the rotten face ghost froze, the dagger in his right hand was taken off, the black mastiff jumped, and bit the neck of the rotten face ghost with a click, and the blood burst out when he landed, and the tall body of the rotten face ghost fell to the ground, and there was a sound.
The black mastiff also slowly fell.
Duan You was sweating profusely, and his heart was pounding, as if he was the one who had just fought viciously. In fact, he has been looking for fighters, and in the end, this fluke blow really used the strength of milk!
Duan You slowed down, and saw that the black mastiff was not dead, lying there on his side, his eyes blurred. Duan You tore off the placket of the rotten face ghost, bandaged the black mastiff's wounds, folded his legs to fix them, and dipped the blood on his head. The black mastiff remained motionless, looking at Duan You, with a sense of gratitude. Duan You said that I should thank you, you are my life-saving dog-no, benefactor, life-saving benefactor!
When the sun was about to set, the black mastiff actually stood up, walked slowly to the east, and as he climbed a sand beam, his body swayed, and finally fell again. Duan You understands that there is a black mastiff's home in front of him, and he is going home.
Duan You stripped off all the clothes of the Rotten Face Ghost, wrapped the black mastiff, picked up the dagger, and wanted to stab the corpses of the Rotten Face Ghost and the wolf twice to relieve his hatred, but in the end, he kicked each of them, and dragged the black mastiff and walked along its footprints.
After walking for a short time, about half an hour, it arrived.
But in front of me was a huge sea, and the water shimmered in the afterglow of the setting sun! On Haizi's side, there are not high sand dunes - they should be called sandbags. Between the sandbags, there are stacks of branches, and in front of the piles of branches, there is a person!
Yes, it's a person, a man with only one leg! The man saw Duan You from a distance, so he hurried to greet him on crutches, shouting as he walked: "Is it Tenzin? My Tenzin, what's wrong with you!"
Duan You dragged the black mastiff named Tenzin to the pile of firewood, exhausted, lying on the sand panting. The one-legged man knelt beside Tenzin, scrutinizing his wounds, babbling so hard that he couldn't hear what was being said.
After lying down for a while, Duan You got up, walked to a pit well in the sand depression, scooped water with both hands, and drank happily. Later, when he went to Tenzin's side, he saw Tenzin lying on the ground, breathing steadily, so he told the man what had happened, but he concealed it, saying that he was chased and killed by bandits, so he fled into the desert, and he did not say his real name, but called himself Chen You. At this time, you can see the man clearly, and see him with a high nose and deep eyes, curly hair, and an old appearance.
After listening to Duan You's narration, the old man raised his palm with his left hand and bowed to Duan Youyou: "Thank you Chen Daoyou for saving Tenzin." He added, "Bandits are hateful, and they deserve to fall into hell." Then he turned his face to Tenzin, clasped his hands together, and began to recite the sutra.
The old man chanted constantly, and the sound was like flowing water, gushing and surging. Duan You's eyes gradually drooped, his body tilted, and he fell into a deep sleep. He hadn't slept well for a few days and nights, and as soon as his heart relaxed, he slept peacefully and sweetly.
Duan You was woken up by Tenzin's licking, and when he opened his eyes and saw Tenzin standing beside him, he happily hugged its huge head and said excitedly: "Your name is Tenzin, how are you?" When I looked at it again, I saw that I was covered with a skin of an unknown animal, and there was also a skin under my body. Duan You knew that it was the old man who covered him at night, and he was moved in his heart, and looked at the old man and shouted, "Grandpa." ”
The old man was roasting rabbit meat on the side, looking at Duan You with a smile, but did not speak, Duan You walked over to help, but the old man did not let him, so he accompanied Tenzin to walk slowly.
The sun has just risen, and the top of each sand dune is like a layer of golden light, and not far to the northeast is a large lake, sparkling, with lush trees and grass around the lake. On the other side of the lake, there are layers of sand dunes, and I can't imagine that there is such a good place in the depths of the desert.
The rice is roasted rabbit meat, cistanche, Suoyang, and clear water - there are no utensils, only raw water can be drunk. The old man had a large bowl, which was made of sandalwood, and could not be put on fire.
After eating, Duan You planned to say goodbye and go to the desert to find Duan Ling. After the old man pondered for a while, he said, "Chen Daoyou, in my opinion, it is not ordinary bandits who are chasing and killing you, there must be some purpose, I have to arrest you. Now that you want to go, not only can you not protect your sister, but you will also take you for nothing, only bad is not good, it is better to practice martial arts here, practice for a few years, and then go back when you grow up and have the ability. Your sister Jiren Tianxiang must be fine, maybe she has been found by your parents or Mr. Chen. If you are caught, you have to have the ability to save it. ”
Duan You hesitated, the old man's words were reasonable, he actually thought about it too, but he couldn't rest assured that Duan Ling was not at ease. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided: stay and practice martial arts! My father said that when you encounter something that you can't avoid, you should go all out to deal with it, but when you encounter something that can be avoided, you should suppress your impulse and wait for the right time to solve it.
The next day, Duan You got up early, on a tall sand dune, facing the east, standing in a horse step, tongue on top of the palate, arms stretched out, palms from the lower abdomen, slowly rising to both sides, from the top of the head, returning to the lower abdomen, the thoughts in the brain, the essence of the sun and the moon, gathered in the dantian. And so on and so forth.
About half an hour later, the sky was white and bright, and a red sun appeared from the sea of sand in the distance, gradually rising and rounding, and the sun with large wheels jumped, and then a layer of golden light was placed on the top of the dunes, and as the sun became smaller, the daylight poured in. Duan You practiced for about half an hour, and slowly finished his work.
