"Boy, did you find anything?"

Mamotoko's tone was relaxed, and she looked into the distance leisurely. Under the light of the rising sun, all things are moving, and the vitality is infinite.

"The trees are scarce, and the day is much more open. ”

The wind blew head-on, curling Lin Yi's long hair tied at the back of his head. He stared ahead, a faint smile on his lips.

After separating from the people of Shenwei Hall, the people and horses marched forward, and another two days passed. The trees on both sides of the road gradually thinned, and the narrow sky overhead seemed to tear off the shackles, and the blue sky became more and more vivid.

The horse's hooves are brisk, and the Tianlong faction is full of laughter.

Zhen Yuanzi straightened his body, stretched his waist quite comfortably, and said: "Finally came out, there should be a sandbar boundary in front of you! Speaking of this, he squinted at the corner of his eyes and snorted: "What are you kid doing with the old way? Oh, Gaochang is the capital! I don't even know this?

was seen by the old way, Lin Yi smiled bitterly and did not make a sound.

It turned out that Gaochang City was the capital, and no one had ever told him this. Therefore, Lin Yi thought that Gaochang was the location of a state city, so that he was laughed at by the old way. The country of Shang is so big, many place names have conventional names, can not know everything, it is also ordinary, not to mention that he is a boy who is going out for the first time.

It's just that in the capital of Jiji, the princes and princes live, the so-called soldiers are strong and rich, and they are gathered in one city. I don't even know the title of the capital of a country, so I'm really lonely! Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.

"Boy, what are you thinking, look at your pleasure, hum!"

This kid smiled, and it was no good thing, and Zhen Yuanzi, who thought it was true, couldn't help but snort lightly to show his dissatisfaction. He continued: "Shazhou is a thousand miles of fertile fields, endless grassland, this is a good place. Shazhou, Yanzhou, Yezhou, Gezhou, and Yunzhou, the five prefectures are connected to each other, and they are defending the capital, which is the so-called tiger standing in the imperial state of Longpan! There is also commercial water from the north, passing through the sandbank, passing through the capital, and going east to the sea. Hehe, when you get here, you and I are not far from the sea!"

Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts were afraid that they drifted to the sea along the water. Lin Yi pondered, Shazhou, Yanzhou, Yezhou, Gezhou, and Yunzhou, implying the number of the five elements, is it just a coincidence?

By noon, everyone's eyes gradually brightened. Unconsciously, the woods that accompanied the road disappeared from the original boundlessness. And the road under his feet seems to have come to an end.

......

Everyone in the Heavenly Dragon Sect stopped, their eyes full of emotion.

It's an empty grassland. Under the withered grass that stretches to the horizon, the new green is beginning to bloom, and it is vigorously beating and pouring into the eye.

The oncoming wind is blowing, and there is a bit of spring in the wildness -

......

Leaning on the cart, Lin Yi sat on the grass, took a sip of a thousand autumn dumplings, and his eyes were faint-

......

Under the blue sky, a goshawk is soaring lonely, wandering lonely. Its long, motionless wings suddenly flickered, turning into a black bolt of lightning and slamming into the ground.

Suddenly, with a sharp and high-pitched cry, the goshawk flapped its wings and flew up. Under a pair of iron hooks, a hare struggled in vain—

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, his eyes flashed, and the fingers holding the gourd couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, he thought about a long howl, like a goshawk, soaring into the sky, laughing proudly at the sky.

The goshawk high above is lonely, and because of this loneliness, it has its own sky-

......

After walking out of the jungle-covered Hongzhou, the Tianlong faction stopped for a moment and continued to march towards the depths of the vast grassland.

When the sunset sprinkles the golden afterglow, the endless grassland is like a golden ocean. In the distance, more than ten white yurt houses of herdsmen, the stars are scattered, like clouds in the sky falling to the mortal world, and like a few pearls emerging in the waves.

Walking in, outside the yurt, there is a rough wooden fence around, and not far away, there are herds of cattle and sheep together.

A few tall shepherd dogs, barking with baring teeth.

A group of people dressed in leather robes came out of the yurt room, and under the felt hats, there was a sincere smile on the jujube red face, followed by steaming oil tea.

This is an ordinary small family on the grassland.

Dozens of people of four generations have been nomadic in the grassland, surviving and reproducing. The family is an old man in his seventies, with good bones, and although his face is full of wrinkles, his steps are strong. The sons were also forty or fifty years old, and they were all weathered, strong and burly. More than a dozen grandchildren are also adults, all of them are strong and strong.

The custom of hospitality has a long history in the grasslands. This family, naturally, is no exception. The old man in charge of the house beckoned Meng Shan and the others into the yurt to talk, and instructed his children and grandchildren to slaughter a cow and ten sheep, and prepare fine wine to entertain the guests who came from afar.

At night, the bonfire is lit, and the guests and hosts sit in a circle, drinking, eating meat, talking and laughing loudly, and having a happy time.

Lin Yi sat in a far corner, picked up a bowl of mare's milk wine, tasted it, it was sour, with a slight hint of sweetness, the wine tasted faint, the entrance was soft, and there was a little milky smell. Frowning, he put down the wine bowl and drank it at first glance, he was really not used to it.

"How can a good man not drink?"

A loud voice sounded, and with the sound of the wind, a sturdy young man sat next to Lin Yi.

This man's black and red face has a bright eye. He picked up a bowl of milk wine, showed a row of white teeth, and laughed loudly: "My name is Wuchai, and I don't know the name of this good brother." Come, I'll give you a bowl first. After that, the young man did not allow the other party to refuse, raised his neck, grunted, and drank a bowl of wine in the blink of an eye. With a wipe of his mouth, his dark eyes were brightened by the bonfire, and he smiled at Lin and said, "It's your turn!"

Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile, hesitated, but still picked up the wine bowl and said, "I'm Lin Yi, this bowl of wine is for Brother Wu!"

"Haha, good brother, this is the true nature of a man. Wuchai happily patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, laughed, and pointed at his brothers with his hand, and said: "My man from the grassland, since he was a child, drank this mare's milk wine, so that he could grow as strong as a healthy horse. Come, you and my brother have a bowl together. ”

After the wine was eaten, Lin Yi tasted it, and it was not very difficult to drink. Seeing that the other party was so bold, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, poured another bowl of wine, and drank with him.

At the age of his early twenties, Wuchai drank a lot of alcohol, and kept looking for disciples of the Tianlong Sect to drink. Lin Yi took a piece of browned roast mutton and ate it slowly. The meat is very fragrant and tender, and it is pleasant to take a sip of milk wine from time to time.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves until the middle of the moon, and then they rested.

The night passed, and the sun rose.

When the Tianlong Sect set off, Lin Yi discovered that there was a young man named Wuchai in this trip. Listening to what Zhen Yuanzi said, he realized-

Entering the depths of the grassland, the sunny day is fine, there are sun, moon and stars to discern, and you can still find the general direction. If it is cloudy, it is easy to get lost in the vast grassland. Only the grassland people who were born and grew up in Sri Lanka can come and go freely in the grassland. Therefore, the Tianlong faction left silver taels, swords, and wound medicine as favors, and asked Wuchai to be the guide of this trip.

Uchai had a scimitar pinned to his waist, and a curved bow and two pots of arrows hanging from his saddle. He was accompanied by a horse carrying tents and dry rations. This grassland man was riding on a horse, looking mighty, and he seemed to be very excited about this trip, and he walked in front of the team with Liu Tang Master and others.

After entering the grassland, the Tianlong faction and his party walked for another two days, gradually coming to the depths of the grassland.

Looking back on the four fields, there is a vast area, all of which are ordinary withered grass, that is, the terrain is slightly undulating, and there is no difference, making it difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south. However, with Uchai as a guide, there is no need to worry about these, and you can always find a water source in the camping place every night.

Lin Yi also admired this grassland man, only those who live in this land all the year round can remember the huge grassland in their hearts like Wuchai. The yurt is just a place to sleep, and this grassland is their home.

It's night, the dark clouds are rolling, and after another hour, it will be up to Uchai to lead everyone to find tonight's campsite.

The gloomy sky overhead did not let everyone take it to heart. Anyway, it is on the grassland, whether it is windy or rainy, there is nowhere to avoid it, so you can only be at peace with the situation. Only Wuchai's face was gone, and with a somewhat anxious look, he walked alone in front of the group.

"What's that?" shouted someone from the front disciples.

"That's a wolf, a wolf of the steppe!" someone replied.

Lin Yi had never seen a wolf, so he turned his head to look, only to see that twenty or thirty feet away behind him, I don't know when four or five gray wolves came up, looking like dogs. It's just that these wolves drooped their tails, arched their bodies, and landed silently with their hooves, staring closely at the people in front of them.

"I'll kill these brutes!"

A few wild wolves that suddenly appeared were so blatantly behind them, annoying the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. The rider in front turned around and ran back, meeting the wolf.
