Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 155 An Unexpected Reunion
Three days later, according to Tian Song's arrangement, the field team reorganized by the young realm guards of Tianyin Peak was led by Tian En and Tian Mo, and marched towards the northern frontier of Great Xia.
The other elders stayed on the Heavenly Seal Peak, guarding the boundary with Tiansong. At the same time, investigate the changes between the snow owl and the badger.
As soon as this field team came out of Tianyin Peak, the spectacle of blizzard and ice on the Northern Wilderness Grassland made everyone feel the greatness of the power of nature.
Especially Xiang Bei and Tianmo, although they had seen the wind and snow for the first time along the way, they could still vaguely see the outline of the earth. Now when you enter the Northern Wilderness again, there is only a boundless silver covered by snow in front of you.
Even the dark clouds that followed Xiang Bei down the mountain were shocked by this silver-white world, and had to pull out the slender horse legs from the deep snow nest, and it was extremely difficult to walk.
Fortunately, everyone can have a spiritual cultivation body, and they can barely resist the cold that seals the entire world. Fortunately, under the leadership of Tianmo and Yuelai, the action team has avoided the danger as much as possible.
After a few days of travel, the team had gradually entered the 500-mile sand sea between the Northern Wilderness Ranger and the northern frontier of Great Xia.
This was once the place where he encountered Sha Xiao with Jebecuo, and this was also the place where Xiang Bei picked up the little white wolf. Now only what is left is the sense of desolation of human beings.
Xiang Bei looked at the red yellow quicksand that gradually emerged from under the ice and snow, and missed that graceful figure in his heart.
He only hated why he was still immersed in the role of Seven Killings at that time and couldn't extricate himself, why he didn't have the courage to hold that Qianqian's hand.
Because of the perennial bow, Su Su's index finger and middle finger knuckles have a layer of skin calluses, and the two fingers are more slender, such memories make Xiang Bei wonder a little, how could he remember such details if he had already held that little hand.
It may also be his own imagination, at that time, Xiang Bei was mostly groggy in the shaking carriage, and it was normal to not recall when he and Su Su's ten fingers were interlocked.
The team suddenly stopped, pulling Xiang Bei out of his trance-like memories. Under the grace of heaven, everyone saw a messy mark on the yellow sand under their feet.
"There are a lot of people on the other side!" Tian En's face was serious, and the solemnity on his face was quickly transmitted to everyone in the team.
Xiang Bei also carefully observed the marks that had not yet been covered by quicksand, and even picked up a dung ball with his hand and pinched it. Tianen has always been suspicious of Xiang Bei, and when he saw his serious investigation, he was disdainful in his heart, feeling that this young man was probably playing tricks.
"What can you see?" said Celestial.
However, Xiang Bei didn't want to offend the second uncle, and replied seriously, "The other party is mainly a horse team, and the number is at least tens of thousands." Judging by the direction of the march, from north to south, it should have been the elite cavalry of the rangers. Judging from the horse manure, it has probably just passed half a day. ”
"Oh?" Tianen didn't expect this young man to be able to see so much information, and he wanted to be sarcastic but couldn't find any mistakes, so he simply didn't say anything.
Shikong and Yuelai on the side listened with relish, and Shikong's mind was clear and simple, and he couldn't help but praise, "Senior brother, you are really amazing." ”
"In that case, what should we do?" Tian'en asked again, with a cloudy look on his face. Only this time, his question was thrown to Li Chongguang on the side.
Li Chongguang didn't seem to be prepared, so he gave a bow first, and then replied respectfully, "The disciple should follow the arrangement of the uncle." ”
"Hmm. Tian'en nodded, "People in the world mostly act with seven emotions and six desires, and there are constant disputes between people and countries because of interests. Now that you have entered the realm of guarding, try to avoid getting too entangled in worldly grievances. ”
Tianen and everyone wanted to avoid the horse team in front of them, and made a detour to the northern frontier of Great Xia as soon as possible.
Xiang Bei couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Tian'en, the northern part of Great Xia has been calm for many years. Now that the rangers have suddenly made such a big move, even if it is a worldly dispute, I am afraid that it is only related to the celestial phenomena we are investigating, so it is better for me to go and find out the inner story of these elite horses, so that I can deal with it. ”
Xiang Bei didn't have any other intentions, but he spoke out after Tianen finished telling everyone, Tianen thought that he was deliberately targeting, and it was difficult to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, "What do you mean, we should listen to your command?"
Tianen's tone didn't frighten Xiang Bei, but it made this guy feel ridiculous in his heart, "Why is this old man who has cultivated a half-immortal body always like a child, a chicken belly." ”
However, because of the teacher's affection, he still admitted his mistake with a pious face.
"The disciple didn't dare. But this ranger army is indeed heading towards the northern frontier of Great Xia, as long as Uncle Shi gives me a day, I will join you immediately after I go to investigate. ”
"Why can't you always get rid of your previous sneaky habits?" Tianen obviously didn't have the patience to listen to Xiang Bei's advice, and even mocked Xiang Bei's identity as a killer in the past, "In the future, if we want to act as the guardian of the White Head Realm, we will deal with those demons who have crossed the line, and we rely on the strength of our cultivation, and we must do things above board." ”
Xiang Bei has always wanted to convince himself that Uncle En is just a straightforward and upright person this day, but he didn't expect to mock himself with such mean words in public, and his anger in his heart rose sharply.
Li Chongguang on the side saw that Xiang Bei's face was wrong, and hurriedly came up to pull Xiang Bei away, "What Uncle Tian'en taught is that you have to seriously comprehend the master's teachings, junior brother." ”
"You will be a good person!" Yuelai on the side expressed her support for Xiang Bei by teasing Li Chongguang. Shikong originally agreed with Xiang Bei's idea, but seeing that his master had been choked with a blue face, he had no idea for a while.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the blind Tianmo finally stood up.
"Xiang Bei, what your Heavenly Uncle taught you is the avenue of cultivation. On the way to spiritual practice, we must see a realm far beyond mortals, because we are going to explore a world that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and if our minds are not pure, we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover. ”
This sycophant finally appeased Tianen's dissatisfaction. And Xiang Bei and Tianmo revisited their previous trip to the north, remembering the old relationship, and increasing the friendship between uncle and nephew, and gradually calmed down the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and apologized to Uncle Tianen again according to Tianmo's teachings.
After everyone calmed down, Tianmo continued, "Senior Brother Tianen, I have more contact with this child Xiangbei, but it is a little unruly and difficult to find, and his mind is not bad. He wants to gather more information for our operation, so I think it is better to let him go and get back quickly. However, his thoughts can't be counted on our realm guards, let him only act as his previous identity, and if there is a mistake, he will bear the consequences. ”
These words made Tian'en understandable, although he was still dissatisfied in his heart, but it was not good to continue to refute,
"I have fulfilled my duty to admonish, and since you insist on not listening, then I will not care. Xiang Bei's unauthorized action is his personal will, and it is impossible for us to change our plans for him. ”
As he spoke, Tian'en continued to walk without looking back, thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be better if this kid was trapped in the Ranger Army and would have one less trouble." ”
Xiang Bei was grateful to Tianmo for pleading and wanted to step forward to thank him, but was stopped by Tianmo waving his hand, looking anxious to clear up the relationship. Tang Qianshou walked in front of Xiang Bei, took out the bamboo tube on his body, and wanted to lend Xiang Bei the Emei bee that could track and guide the way.
Xiang Bei thanked Qianshou for his kindness, "It's okay, junior brother, I can catch up with you." ”
Yuelai also secretly walked up to Xiang Bei and took out a vial, "Senior Brother Xiang Bei, here is the Blood Spirit Pill refined with our raccoon blood, if the Gu poison on your body attacks, you can suppress it temporarily." ”
This is what Xiang Bei urgently needs, although during this time, there was a heavenly song and heavenly grace in Tianyin Peak, and the Gu poison almost dissipated, but now that it has been a few days since he left Lingshan, the unconscious fear when the Gu poison occurred began to plague Xiang Bei again.
"Then thank you, junior sister. Picking up the Dan bottle, thinking of all the disagreements between this lovely tanuki girl and the senior brother during this time, Xiang Bei couldn't help but persuade more, "Sister, my cultivation during this period of time has relied on the advice of the senior brother, and he really cares about us." ”
How do you know that it's okay not to persuade her, under this persuasion, the tanuki girl seemed to be even more angry, and glared at the figure who was closely following Tianen, "That sycophant, you know how to please old things." ”
"Ahem!" Behind Yuelai, Tianmo, who looked like a ghost, came out, and a cough frightened Yuelai's delicate body trembling, "You won't please me this old thing." ”
Yuelai stuck out her tongue, hurriedly smiled, and helped Tianmo's arm, "How can Master be used to please him, Master is used for filial piety." As he spoke, he pulled Tianmo towards Tianen's back and rushed up.
Xiang Bei turned over and got on the horse, he was confident that he would go and come back quickly, relying on the dark cloud under his crotch that had already eaten a lot of fairy grass on Tianyin Ling Mountain.
Following the fresher and fresher marks, within half a day, Xiang Bei caught up with the rangers in the rapid march in front, and it was close to dusk at this time, and the soldiers of the rangers had begun to set up yurts and prepare to camp on the spot.
Xiang Bei held down the restless dark cloud and hid with it behind a sand dune. waited until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and listened to the rangers' camp except for the movement of the patrol camp, and then quietly entered the camp under the cover of the night shadow.
Soon, Xiang Bei figured out the general regulations of the camp, and gradually touched the outside of the camp of the Chinese army's big tent. The guards are tighter here, and the night watch teams come and go more frequently.
The more this was the case, the more valuable information Xiang Bei believed would be able to find, and he bypassed those guards who patrolled the night and climbed onto the rafters of the Chinese army's big tent. Following the light shining from the top of the tent, I found a small gap, and I just happened to see the scene inside the tent.
This glimpse actually made Xiang Bei chuckle in his heart. The scene in front of him was exactly the same as the one he saw in the Ark of the Winding Path, a girl with a sad face was staring at the candle flame in front of her in a daze, her face was full of sadness, the only difference was that now the girl had her long braid coiled up to the top of her head, and her body was draped in the armor of the rangers.
"Don't think about it, my lord. Looking for prestige, Xiang Bei noticed a shriveled old man sitting at the bottom, who was Zhao Jin's uncle Zhemushen.
Now Zhao Jin can rely on this shrewd uncle.
"Uncle, I just feel that my father's bones are not cold, and I have formed an alliance with the enemy who killed my father, and it is difficult to comfort his spirit in the sky. ”
"King, I have said the truth many times, strength is the way to survive, I believe you also understand. Since the battle of the Thousand Army Mounds, our Ranger Ancestors no longer have the strength to conquer Great Xia in the south, isn't it because of the endless attacks between various tribes. If you insist on starting a war with Beiyuan again, the nine divisions of Nanyuan will soon fall into a mess, and they can only be broken by each of them. ”
Seeing that Zhao Jin didn't talk, Zhemu Shen thought that Zhao Jin had listened to his opinion and continued,
"Besides, Liang Muha has already shown his sincerity by sending the eldest prince to come to restore the old friendship this time. I heard that Wobetai has been imprisoned in the prison. Besides, I have reminded the king many times that the identities of those two strangers are unknown, and they have disappeared after the accident, and it is very suspicious that they happened to be the king of the time. ”
Zhemushen mentioned Xiang Bei and Su Su, and Zhao Jin finally couldn't hold it anymore, presumably because he was nagged by this uncle.
"Uncle, you have to continue the march tomorrow morning, you are old, you should go back early to rest and rest. Remember to help me tell those generals that this time it is only for the purpose of collecting grain, and never harm the lives of the people of Great Xia. ”
Zhemushen was kicked out by Zhao Jin, and the tent quickly fell silent.
Zhao Jin's pair of shining eyes stared at the candle flame in front of him again,
"Brother Xiang Bei, have you been cured? Sister Su Su, if you can come back to help me, you will definitely not let those tigers and wolves in Beiyuan bully our soldiers in Nanyuan like this. ”
The county lord of Zhaojin was sad, and inadvertently, a crystal teardrop broke free from the shackles of her eyes and rolled down to the back of her cheek-holding hand.
