Chapter 398: Out of the Customs
After Chu Xunyu sent Duanmu and his party away, he sent a signal to summon Wangchen at the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, Wangchen came, but he looked very tired, it is estimated that the poison of the "Gardenia Blossom" of the Tang Sect has not been completely unraveled, after all, it is from the Tang Sect, if there is no person from the Medicine King's Mansion to make a move, it will still be really difficult.
So after the three of them met, Chu Xunyu helped him detoxify, and together with Mu Yuan, he told Wangchen what had happened in the past two days to Wangchen, and Wangchen also sighed, he never thought that there had been so many thrilling and abnormal disputes in the past few days, but in his heart, Wangchen still bluntly pointed out that Chu Xunyu was too reckless, and the flower protector was extremely powerful, it was a stupid move to provoke him, fortunately, the ghost thief died generously in the end, if it weren't for this, God knows what would have happened.
Chu Xunyu and the two juniors accepted the criticism of their seniors stupidly, but Chu Xunyu still carefully recorded the information of the flower protector and sent it back home. This kind of action made everyone very puzzled, so Chu Xunyu told them that this is how the classics in the Yaowangfu family came from, the so-called reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, every child of the Yaowangfu who goes out to practice has the obligation to feed back the bizarre stories they saw on the road as information, so that the classics at home can include the latest Jianghu at any time, so that future generations can understand the outside.
In fact, Chu Xunyu did this for another purpose, the original information of the flower protector was only a legend of the rivers and lakes at home, and he remembered only a few strokes, and now the information he sent back confirmed that he or they were real, although he did not see the true face of Lushan, but he still hoped that his family could pay attention, after all, the force behind the Qinglou was too powerful and mysterious, and it was really a great hidden danger to be able to control the existence of the flower protector.
Once out of Jiayuguan, it indicates that you have walked out of the Central Plains and stepped into the endless desert, which is also called "Gobi Desert", which is Mongolian, where there is only endless evil hidden behind the yellow sand.
At the same time, in the desert, it was a different scene. At night, the desert is always very cold, some people say that the desert during the day is a scorching soil, which will scorch the raw meat, and some people say that the desert at night is a bleak color, where every inch of your skin will feel the cold chilling your heart. Therefore, the desert is a place that is both daunting and unpredictable.
On the boundless Gobi Desert, it is already night, you can see a bonfire burning, on which barbecue meat is set up, there is a gathering place of a nomadic tribe, there are dozens of camels and horses in the same place, looking from a distance, in the middle of the tent, there are twenty or thirty people sitting around several bonfires, talking and laughing, a happy scene.
"Daddy Laxin, tell us a story...... a group of children gathered around a burly old man with a long beard in the middle, who seemed to be the leader of the small tribe.
"Alright, alright!" Father Rakshin smiled softly, took a deep puff of the cigarette pouch in his hand, and said slowly, "Once upon a time, this was a fertile land, where birds flew freely, horses ran freely, and there was a happy young man......"
"Let's not listen to this!" all the children said almost in unison, "We've all heard it many times, and we know it's your old story, and we're going to hear something new." ”
"Fresh?" said Father Rakshin with a wry smile and shook his head, "Then let me tell you a mythical story, but, boys, will you be scared at night?"
"No, we're not afraid!" the children were excited.
"Okay, okay. "A long, long time ago, there lived a devil in the desert here, and he always liked to come out at night to plunder people's cattle, sheep and horses, which made people very distressed, so someone came up with a way, and every night everyone took turns on duty, holding weapons, and squatting at the door, hoping to find out about its arrival and drive it away in time, but at night there was nothing to see, and the number of cattle, sheep and horses was still decreasing every day, which made everyone frightened and did not know what to do." ”
"What then?" asked a child, looking up curiously.
"Hehe, don't worry. "Finally one day, a careful girl discovered the problem, it turned out that every evening when she brought the cows, sheep and horses back to the circle, there was always one more than when she went out in the morning, and the devil could change into the appearance of cows, sheep and horses, and mix them in it, so that she could eat them secretly." ”
"Ahh
"Haha, that's of course, our people are brave and ...... us"
"Look! What is that?" said Father Lakshin, when he heard a young woman beside him shout pointing into the distance.
Everyone looked sideways, and they saw that in the endless dark night, on the vast yellow sand, there was a white horse galloping forward, and where the horse's hooves were flying, bringing up waves of sand, heading straight for this gathering point, and everyone looked excitedly, because they believed that this was God's will, and this was a symbol of their abundance of food and clothing.
The white horse ran closer and closer, and when they came to the approach, they found that they were covered with wounds and oozing a little blood, and everyone felt sympathy, and prepared to take out medicine to treat the injured horse.
As a result, I didn't want to, and suddenly there was a muffled sound, and the white horse instantly turned into a naked Central Plains man, an unstable, planted in the yellow sand on the ground, covered in blood, raised his head, and said with difficulty: "Save me ......"
"Oops!" the crowd was in an uproar, and the children panicked and shouted at Daddy Laksin, "Devil, Daddy Laksin, he's the devil you just talked about." ”
Father Rakshen was also stunned, because what he said just now was just a story......
In the market near Jiayuguan, Mu Yuan pulled Chu Xunyu and shouted excitedly: "Hey, Ye Langzhong, look, the horses here are so tall, and there are two big bags on their backs!"
"Don't be ashamed. Chu Xunyu shook his head, "That's called a camel, and it's an animal that walks in the desert. ”
"How much is this?" Mu Yuan stood at a small stall, looked at the camel milk on the stall, was very curious, bought a cup, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
"Flutter ......" squirted out on the spot, Mu Yuan looked at the cup in his hand, and said in disbelief: "You usually drink this? ”
Chu Xunyu smiled helplessly, stood aside, bought a lot of roasted mutton on the side of the road, and said to Wangchen beside him: "Senior, come and taste it, it tastes good." ”
Wangchen nodded, he really hadn't eaten it for many years, and suddenly he felt something, so he looked around strangely, and Chu Xunyu asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know...... Wangchen shook his head stupidly, "Maybe I'm too careful." After speaking, he sat on the roadside stall with Chu Xunyu and ate fragrant roast mutton......
