CHAPTER XXVIII

We slept soundly that night.

At dawn the next day, I stopped spitting. Outside the cave, the sky was gloomy, and there was no end in sight to the gray clouds, but it was a cloudy day.

Although there was a lot of space in the cave, I sat at the entrance of the cave and slept all night. They have lived in the mountains for a long time, and their ability to survive in the wild is very strong, but they are far less vigilant than me, and besides, the ghosts of the Miluo tribe are patrolling the mountains, and they have agreed to let us stay here, and I dare not have the slightest slackness. After cultivating internal strength, my hearing and eyesight are much better than theirs, and I can react to any disturbance as soon as possible.

But vigilance is vigilance, and I didn't notice anything unusual all night, I didn't hear the heart-scratching cry of the python ghost boy, and I didn't even hear the insects and birds in the mountains. Except for the sound of the wind, a huge mountain seemed to be dead silent at night.

Stretching my legs, I walked out of the cave and stood on the edge of the trail and looked down. I don't see it very clearly at night, and now I look down, this mountain is indeed a steep wall, Diao Yan is awesome, the slope has not yet reached the level of a cliff, but I am dizzy in my mind at a glance, I am afraid that this mountain is not a thousand zhang high but also eight or nine hundred zhang high.

As far as the eye can see, there are hardly many green plants on the mountain, and what grows is a kind of bare tall tree, the branches at the top of this tree are very narrow, and the trunk is very thin, like a human calf, straight and straight more than ten zhang high, like a long wooden stake inserted in the mountain.

Looking at it, he heard the ancient voice behind him: "Spring belongs to wood, and those who give birth to wood must water." Look at the weather, this year's rainy season is coming, hehe. ”

I turned around and smiled, "Mr. Nagu, it's early." ”

Nagu walked up to me, stretched his arms, and said leisurely: "This rain will not stop for two or three months." Gu Youren, your complexion is better today, how is your internal strength recovering?"

I said, "Thanks to the herbs of the gentleman, the internal strength under the lower is much better than before, and it will be fully recovered in a few days." ”

The herbs that Nagu prescribed for me really helped me a lot. Now that I think about it, falling from such a high place, the tendons and veins have already been shattered, and the internal force can't be gathered as if it was scattered, so it's really my luck to be able to save a small life. Although his herb is not a precious material, it has healed the damaged tendons and veins in my body, although now my internal strength is like a gossamer, but the qi is unimpeded, if I concentrate on cultivation, it is only a matter of time before I recover my internal strength.

Nagu nodded and said with a smile: "There are still a lot of herbs brought, I'll let them boil some decoction in a while." After a pause, he added: "Your martial arts are so powerful, it is really amazing that you can fight with that python ghost boy alone." ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sir really lifted me, the Central Plains has many talents, and there are countless powerful people, and my martial arts are just some skins, not powerful." "If he had seen the power of the palm of the first hand, he would not have said that.

Na Gu praised: "Don't underestimate yourself, with the divine power of your right arm alone, I'm afraid that few people can eat your punch." ”

The strength of the right arm is considerable, but now that it has become like this, what is the use of such strength? I have been thinking for the past few days, if I seek medical treatment in the future, I will definitely cut off this right arm, and I would rather be a one-armed man. I said, "Sir, don't be sarcastic, I'm already disabled, I can't talk about any divine power, it would be great if my arm could be restored." ”

Na Gu smiled slightly and said, "Friend Gu's words are wrong, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, isn't this a good thing?"

I looked at him and wondered, "What good thing can this be?"

"The venom of the fish-headed monster is vicious, the middle one will not live for three days, and the venom on your body is only up to your right arm, and you have not been poisoned to death and have a great way to be born due to misfortune, isn't this the gift given by God to Gu Youren? ”

Nagu spoke very bluntly, perhaps because he knew that Abigail was already learning the Central Plains language, and his mood was very good until now, and he spoke quite passionately.

Is it famous?

I read these four words silently. I was a little cramped by his sudden praise, but for some reason, my heart was more like a layer of hawthorn water, sour. I said dejectedly: "Mr. has won the award, but he is not a junior in the grass, and he is shallow and short-sighted, and he can't become a hero or a hero." ”

Na Gu probably also saw that my face was wrong, so he softened his tone and said with a faint smile: "Why should you be humble yourself, don't you want to get rid of the Immortal Hall?"

My heart was bitter, and I didn't know what to say, so I just said, "Sir, do you think the Immortal Hall should be eradicated?"

Na Gu still had a smile on his face, but when he heard me ask, there was a strange look on his face, and he said: "The Immortal Hall is a demon sect, and it has plagued my Western Regions for a hundred years, of course we must get rid of it! I heard from the older generation of the clan that the reason why there is the current chaotic situation in the Western Regions is that the Immortal Hall has secretly played a great role in fueling the troubles, and the crime is unforgivable. ”

Hearing him reprimand Changshengtang like this, I felt a sense of confusion in my heart for no reason. I've heard such words more than once, the reputation of the Immortal Hall in this river and lake is indeed terrible, but whenever I hear people mention the Immortal Hall, there are always some unbearable scoldings. For the Immortal Hall, the bloody wind and rain of the past ended up with the current head of the rat, which is undoubtedly a great deserved retribution. However, when I thought of the scheming of Master Benkong and Tianyi in the swamp of death, I didn't even think that the Immortal Hall was full of evil at all, but it was a few heads of the Seven Great Sects that made me feel even more jealous.

Eliminate demons and defend the way, eliminate the demons and defend the way, is there no good way in the demon sect?

I don't know what it's like to toss and turn in my heart, Nagu is still saying: "Thirty years ago, if it weren't for the defeat of the Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains, which caused them to scatter and flee, I don't know what kind of human tragedy the Western Regions would be now. Speaking of which, you're the real heroes. ”

I didn't say anything more, nothing more, and looked up into the distance. At the end of the sky, gray clouds were filled, and the dark color of the mountains and fields was more viscous, and there were signs of rain in the vast world. Maybe my silence made Na Gu think a lot again, he patted me on the shoulder, and suddenly smiled: "Maybe Gu Youren is not here, so what are your plans in the future?"

I forced out a smile and said, "If the great witch of the Miluo tribe can't heal my arm, I will leave to go back to Chenzhou and resume the old business of the dart bureau." ”

Na Gu said: "Don't stay any longer? The great witch of the Miluo tribe can't do it, I can go with you to visit other great witches, the two most famous tribes in my Western Regions, one is the Wushan tribe, the other is the bloody hand tribe, there are a large tribe of wizards, and there are many capable people." ”

I was grateful. Na Gu is a warm-hearted person, and I haven't been with him for a long time, and I can roughly understand his temperament, and his behavior is very similar to Han Xiao, and I can talk to him quite well. According to the original plan, I didn't want to return to Chenzhou in such a hurry, but I couldn't stay in the Western Regions for a long time. First, the dart bureau has been regarded by the people of Chenzhou as the origin of the worm, Lu Jingzhao and Shi Yisheng are forced by public opinion, maybe now they have already seized the world's dart bureau, although the dart bureau has a hundred miles of disciples, He Yun and other dart masters to press the formation, but I still have to come forward to take responsibility.

Second, I still have to take a trip to Kunlun Mountain, right?

As soon as I thought of this, I felt irritable and chaotic like a hemp ball, only to realize that there were many things waiting for me to do. I shook my head and said, "Let's go back and have a look first, when I came, the dart game was already in chaos, and I don't know what happened now." ”

Na Gu nodded and said: "Lord Kang said that your Chenzhou City is being rebuilt, and it is good for Gu Youren to go back, but this place is still tens of thousands of miles away from your Great Song Dynasty, and it will be inconvenient for you to go back alone, so it is better to wait for this matter to be over, you will go with Lord Kang and them all the way, and you will have a good response." ”

It's such a long way. I have never seriously considered the way back, and I don't know if there is any shortcut to the Great Song Dynasty, but the road is all the way east, even if I am dizzy, I will definitely be able to grope my way back to the Central Plains alone. I said, "Thank you Mr. for reminding me, you don't have to go with you, and you can rush back to the Central Plains in the next person." ”

Na Gu smiled and said: "Gu Youren is strong in martial arts, even if it is a thousand miles away, but this place is extremely remote, if there is no one to guide you, I am afraid that you will have to take many detours." ”

Not to mention that it is from here to the Great Song Dynasty, even the hundreds of miles from the Heavenly Wolf Clan to the Miluo Clan are steep and abnormal, and there is no one to guide them in the Tiangou Diyuan, so it is inevitable that they will have to take a lot of unjust roads.

Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I said, "Sir, do they have a map of the area to the east?"

Nagu thought for a while and said, "There should be, they are medium-sized tribes, their territory is very large, and the map drawn will be much larger than our Heavenly Wolf Clan, and it is possible to have a full map of the Western Regions." ”

I couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "If there really is, then I will ask my husband to ask for one for me." ”

The map drawn by the Great Song Dynasty is very simple, only indicating the location of the prefectures, counties, and towns, and the important mountain rivers are only mentioned in one stroke, which makes it clear at a glance. The maps they drew in the Western Regions were much more detailed, with the meandering locations of mountain streams and streams and even the number of cliff peaks drawn clearly, and the forests and meadows marked with paint were as delicate as a miniature version of the region. The people of the Western Regions attach great importance to the territory, and each tribe circles its own side, regards the territory as their life, and draws it clearly, so that people can know the ownership of the territory. If there had been a detailed map of the area to the east in the Miro, my return might have been much smoother.

"This is easy," said the ancient man, "and when I go to visit Abigail, ask him for a map." He wanted to go on more, but at this moment, a strange howl echoed through the empty mountain in the distance below the mountain.

I was startled, thinking it was a fish-headed monster, and my right hand reflexively grabbed the hilt of the sword behind my back. With this action alone, my back was already dripping with cold sweat. When I came back to my senses, I realized that the sound was not made by the fish-headed monster. Compared with the scream of the fish-headed monster, this sound is more like the roar of a tiger and wolf, faintly with some fierce anger, and at first sound, it soars like a row of waves, and the sound is vibrating, but it is very different from the heart-rending scream of the fish-headed monster.

Hearing the sound clearly, I couldn't help laughing, poking my head out and looking down the mountain, but this mountain hides the hidden peaks and hidden walls, high enough to climb the sky, and the boulder monster rock plate covers most of the sight on the mountain, and I can't see anything under the mountain at all, only listening to the sound as if it is not far from us.

Is it the ghost boy raised by the Miro tribe who is calling?

I thought of this again in my mind, and Nagu on the side also looked left and right at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "What is it under the mountain, and why is the voice so loud?"

At this time, the twelve people of the Heavenly Wolf Clan in the cave also rushed out of the cave when they heard the sound, probably they thought that there was a ghost boy attacking, and everyone's face was very serious, but as soon as they saw me and Nagu standing on the side of the mountain road, several people showed inexplicable expressions, and stood beside us and stretched their heads to look down the mountain.

The place where we stood was already extremely high, and even if there were tigers and wolves roaring down the mountain, it would never have been possible to come here. I only heard the ancient person beside him look at it for a moment, and then said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
