Chapter 5 The hot spring in Huoyun Town heals his wounds, and the fire cockroach appears in the hot spring
This large temple occupies a range of more than ten zhang, and the center is also a stone well, covered with a wooden lid. In the middle of the door, there was a wide bench around the wall, and there were even a few people sleeping on the bench.
Han Yan said: "This should be a border town in the Rouge Country, but it's actually just a big bazaar. This temple is a special place for travelers to rest, and this well should be the water source brought from the West Sea. My master told me that if you follow the route on the map to enter the Rouge Country, the first thing you should arrive at is the Barley Gathering. It is mainly a bazaar where grain is traded. ”
The three of them unloaded the cargo from the cattle and let them rest for a while. Li Xunchou asked while working,
"Sister, is this rouge country rich in rouge, I'll buy some rouge and go back to Xiaolei. ”
Han Yan chuckled after hearing this: "Big brother, the name of the Rouge Country is because of the abundance of rouge horses. However, the Western Regions are rich in rouge, and this rouge country must also sell rouge. ”
"Oh. What kind of horse breed is a rouge horse, how have I never heard of it. ”
"A rouge horse is a bantam, the big ones are no bigger than mules, and the small ones are the size of donkeys. ”
"I see. Such a horse is really not suitable for the Central Plains. ”
"Although the rouge horse is not fast, it has excellent stamina. Although we are still far from the Flaming Mountains in this Rouge Country, there are official roads and villages along the way. This way we don't need to carry a lot of dry food. We stored our camels and rented a few rouge horses, which shortened the travel time. ”
"Good. Sister, you can arrange it. ”
Early the next morning, the three of them were woken up by the bustling voices, and when they went out of the temple to see, it was really a big set, and the lively crowd was overwhelmed, selling all kinds of food, but there were also other things, like ingredients or something.
Hanyan went to the street and whispered to Li Xunchou: "Big brother, pork is taboo here, don't mention the word pig." ”
"Oh!" Li Xunchou nodded, but he was not surprised. Some people do have a lot of taboos.
The three of them found a food stall and had a breakfast, and the haggis soup with bean cakes was quite delicious.
After breakfast, the three of them left the barley market, and if they wanted to buy and rent horses, they needed to go to the big town.
Near noon, the three of them finally arrived at a large town, which is called Suo Ge Ha Lu by the locals, and is called a Qixing Town in Chinese.
The three of them had lunch first. Hanyan actually spoke the words of the locals, so she asked the owner of the hotel about the horse market.
The horse market is on the edge of town, a large independent ranch that also operates an inn and car shop, and naturally also carries car hire and transportation.
The owner of the ranch also looks like a martial artist, with a special scimitar pinned to his waist, this knife has a blade belt that shapes the whole into a semicircle, and the upper part of the blade protrudes from a big belly, so it is pinned in the belt without a sheath. However, his large belt is a wide belt, which can also be used as a half leather sheath.
Hanyan paid the rent for the horses with two ginseng, and the rest of the goods served as the foster care fee for the camels, and the ranch owner was quite happy, feeling that it was a lot of profit, and warmly entertained the three of them to eat a whole sheep feast.
The three of them stayed here for another night, and continued their journey early the next morning.
In addition to the hydration bag, you only have some bean cakes with you in case you need them. This is advice from the rancher.
On the road, there are indeed many villages at the beginning, which can be encountered in three or five miles, but gradually the villages are becoming more and more sparse, often there are no traces of people for more than ten miles, but there are a lot of water sources and supplies along the way. What's more, the horses travel very quickly, and they can go out hundreds of miles in a day, and more than ten miles is really not worth mentioning.
In this way, day and night, but for five days, the Flame Mountain was far away, but all I saw was the fire clouds in the sky, and the mountain was hidden under the red light.
The three of them camped for another night, and the next day they hurried and finally arrived in Huoyun Town before dark.
Looking at the flames of the Flaming Mountain from a distance, half of the sky was red, but when I arrived at the nearby Huoyun Town, it looked even darker. This is probably what people often call it dark under the lamp.
Huoyun Town was built specifically on the basis of the Flame Mountain, and most of the people living in the town were high-ranking people from outside the Hua, and the relatives and disciples or servants of these people formed the residents of the town. In the beginning, the town consisted of only the houses of these high-ranking people, but later the population grew, and gradually there was trade, and a town was formed, which was quite large.
At this time, Li Xunchou had already taken off his cotton clothes, but Hanyan was still wearing. Because when you get here, the cold poison attacks are even more severe.
"Girl, how far is this from the hot spring you mentioned. ”
"It's not far off. It's half a day!"
"Then let's go overnight. ”
Han Yan's face was originally frozen pale, but at this time there was a hint of redness. Li Xunchou knew that she was ashamed, and he himself was very embarrassed, but when he thought of the cold pain that Hanyan endured, he had no scruples.
Hanyan explained to Guru, only saying that he was going to do private business, and it was inconvenient for people to go. Guru was not reluctant, and went to stay overnight on his own.
Han Yan and Li Xunchou rode on their horses and walked slowly, eating some dry food as they went.
Neither of them spoke, and after eating dry food, they sped up their journey. In the second half of the night, I rushed to the hot spring that Hanyan said.
This hot spring is quite mysterious in the middle of a mountain range.
When Hanyan arrived, he began to undress without saying anything, and did not enter the hot spring until he was naked.
Li Xunchou was at a loss, so he had to undress. Hanyan said shyly: "Big brother, you go first to see if there are any people nearby." ”
Li Xunchou suddenly became embarrassed, "Okay!" and hurriedly walked away after saying only one word.
Han Yan couldn't help but sneer.
After about a stick of incense, Li Xunchou came back, and when he saw Han Yan, he couldn't help but look at her body. The clarity of the spring water could not hide her body at all.
"Girl, there is no trace. ”
"Well, then you come in. ”
Li Xunchou took off his clothes and entered the hot spring, the spring water was extremely warm, and it was quite comfortable to take a bath.
Hanyan whispered, "Big brother." Previously, we had sex only to suppress my cold poison and could not rule it out. With the warmth of the hot springs, the cold poison can be slowly eliminated by applying both inside and outside, so we need to have sex once a day for these seven days. ”
"Hmm!"
Han Yan took the initiative to pour into Li Xunchou's arms, and she was a little infatuated with this feeling. She knew that this was wrong, and she could only comfort herself with "this is healing".
Li Xunchou's burden in his heart was even heavier. I can only comfort myself with such words.
Good days always fly by. When he was in a hurry, Li Xunchou only felt that it was a long day, but at this time, in the gentle spring, accompanied by beauties, the time of this day seemed to pass suddenly.
On the evening of the third day, Li Xunchou breathed by the hot spring pool and found that his internal strength had improved. He only said that it was the harvest of this asceticism, and did not think much about it.
Martial arts are like this all the way, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Although Li Xunchou meditated from time to time along the way, he never practiced much. I didn't expect that this time not only did not regress but also improved, but it was an unexpected gain.
When the sun set, Li Xunchou took dry food and gave it to Hanyan.
Hanyan ate some dry food, and couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Li Xunchou with his back to her. After all these many clouds and rains, Hanyan has already let go of his burden, and he just wants to fall in love with his beloved. But this big man seems to be so thin-skinned.
"Big brother, come down, I'm done. ”
Li Xunchou agreed, and just after untying his belt, he suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing in. He looked closely, and it was a beast with a fiery red body that had broken in.
This col is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are some trees to cover it, and although it is an open-air pool, there are few people, but it seems that it is not uncommon for wild beasts to break in. It's just that this beast looks rather strange. It was like a cat and a dog, and its body was like a cat, but it was as big as a leopard, and its head was like that of a dog, but it was covered with fiery scales, and its big tail was neither like a dog nor a cat, but it was thin and long, like a snake. Dense with small barbed scales cover the tail.
Li Xunchou took out a kitchen knife and threw Han Yan's clothes down
Hanyan didn't care about anything else, so he wrapped his clothes around his body in the water. Even if it was a beast, she didn't want it to see her body.
"Big brother, this seems to be the legendary fire cocktail, this is the Rui Beast, you don't want to hurt it. ”
"Oh. Li Xun replied with a chou sigh, and soon found that the belly of this Rui beast was so big, and asked again, "Do you see if she has a body?" ”
Han Yan didn't seem to be able to see it in the water, stood up and glanced at it, "Well, I do have a body, and it seems that it is not far from production." ”
The fire cockroach just looked at Li Xunchou like this, and she could see some begging pity in her eyes. Li Xunchou put away the knife, and the cockroach slowly walked over. When she got closer, Li Xunchou found that she was injured, with a flying knife stuck in her back hip, and another fire cloud dart.
Li Xunchou pulled out the fire cloud dart and took the cold smoke holy water and gave it to the cockroach to drink. Yun Gong sucked out the fire poison from her wound.
The fire cockroach rubbed her head on Li Xunchou's body, as if to thank her, and then she went to a spring to soak in the hot spring.
There are many of these hot spring pools, which seem to be natural melts. Although Pan Yan and Han Yan are not in the same pool, they can see each other when they raise their eyes, and no matter how thick-skinned she is, it is impossible for her to do such a shameful thing with Li Xunchou in this situation.
The two of them had to change the pool, and they didn't do anything until they couldn't see the cockroach.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a low roar, and Li Xunchou woke up instantly. He meditated and rested by the pool, with his back to the cold smoke, but facing the cockroach right away. Although I can't see it, I can tell that it is a cockroach roaring when I hear the sound. He ran over to take a look, and found that the fire cockroach had laid a large egg. Li Xunchou was quite surprised, it turned out that the cockroach beast belonged to the reptiles, and in his impression, in addition to the birds, it seemed that only reptiles lay eggs, like snakes or lizards and the like.
