Chapter 147: The Road Ahead
Li Qiushui said: "Master Dharma Master doesn't know, the slut of Tianshan Tong's grandmother has already passed on her exercises to Ding Yu, so the two of them, no matter which one is captured alive, they can torture the life and death talisman exercises." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info What's more, in addition to Ding Yu, there are more than 700 Tianshan Tong's cronies and subordinates in the Vulture Palace, and there are always a few people who know the secret of life and death.
But in the end, in case things are not harmonious, Tong Ma and Ding Yu both died unexpectedly, and the master can't torture the complete exercises from the mouth of the disciples of the Vulture Palace, as compensation, even if I owe Dalun Temple a favor, if the master has instructions in the future, Qiushui will definitely help. ”
Ati Rinchen's face was cloudy: he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Qiushui's private reward for the head of the Tianshan Tong, but this dissatisfaction could not be dissipated in a sentence or two. But he also knew that what Li Qiushui said was not unreasonable, even if Tianshan Tong's grandmother died, Dalun Temple still had a good chance to get the life and death talisman exercises. And more importantly, if he turns his face with Li Qiushui now, he really won't even have a chance.
As for Li Qiushui's "help", he didn't pay much attention to it. Although this woman has amazing martial arts and huge power, her scheming is too deep, and if she intervenes in the matter of unifying Tibet, I don't know if she will make a wedding dress for others in the end.
So Ati Rinchen said, "Since the benefactor Li is confident, the old man will only look forward to the benefactor. If the chess is missed in the end, it will be ......" He wanted to say, "I only blame the old man for not having a chance with the life and death charm", but when the words came to his mouth, his heart suddenly moved, and he changed his words, "I don't dare to embarrass the donor, but the old man has a small apprentice, named Gu Mozhi, and his talent is passable, and the old man is planning to let him travel the world in a few years, in order to broaden his knowledge, but he is afraid that his martial arts are not enough to be bullied, so he asked the donor to pass on his self-defense skills."
Ati Rinchen's words were euphemistic, but Li Qiushui understood the meaning: Ati Rinchen's martial arts are so good, and how can the disciples he approves of them lack martial arts? The so-called "ability to defend oneself" should not be much lower than the life and death talisman at least, and at least it must be a peerless level of martial arts.
Li Qiushui hesitated for a moment, then agreed. The tension between the four of them finally dissipated completely, and the cooperation that had been at the beginning was restored.
............
While Li Qiushui was bargaining with Ati Rinchen, Ding Yu and Tong Luoxing had already walked along the river to the bottom of the falcon circling. It turned out to be an oasis with more than a dozen sheepskin tents set up in it, a hundred and ten cattle and sheep on the periphery, and a group of half-grown children grazing with leather whips, which looked like a small herdsman tribe.
As soon as the children saw Ding and Yu, they shouted loudly, and soon several sturdy, dark-skinned herdsmen came out of their tents. Finding two strangers, a herdsman drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted two sentences in a language that Ding Yu had never heard, Tong Luoxing translated for Ding Yu in a low voice: "He asked us if we were friends or enemies, and what we were doing in Yimali's tribe." ”
Then she replied in the same language: "We are travelers in the desert, passing through the tribes of Imalay, and there is no malice. ”
Yi Marixi said: "It's not an enemy, it's a friend." Travelers from afar, you are honored guests of Yimali, please come into the tent and drink a bowl of sour goat's milk. ”
After listening to Tong Luoxing's translation, Ding Yu shook his head and said: "The four masters in the back don't know when to catch up, we are guests here, and we don't have to bother these herdsmen." But we're running out of food, so we might as well buy them some dry food and jerky. ”
Tong Luoxing explained in a low voice: "The desert herders are very hospitable, if you want to do business with them, you must first accept their hospitality, otherwise they will think that you look down on them, not only will they not sell you anything, but they will also use knives with you." ”
Of course, Ding and Yu are not afraid of the scimitars of these herdsmen, but unless they are willing to starve, or have the cheekiness to grab food from a group of herdsmen, they can only accept the herdsmen's hospitality.
Ding Yu nodded helplessly and said, "Then let's go, but leave as soon as possible." ”
Tong Luoxing shouted at Yi Ma Li: "Yi Ma Tou Man, the distant traveler is dry and needs your sour goat's milk to quench his thirst." ”
When Yi Ma Li heard this, he was overjoyed, and he brought the two into his tent, and told the woman to scoop two bowls of sour goat's milk and serve them, and the two took them and drank them dry. Tong Luoxing was about to mention the purchase of dry food, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and the two of them suddenly became alert. Imali confessed to the two of them, and told the woman to continue entertaining the guests, while he went out of the tent to see what was going on.
Soon after Yi Ma Li walked out of the tent, Ding Yu took advantage of the moment when the hostess turned around, and popped out a soft finger wind to knock her down, followed by dodging to the door of the tent, and looked out through the gap.
I saw more than twenty knights with swords and bows approaching quickly, trotting all the way according to horsepower, and chatting with the horse team at the edge of the oasis.
Seeing that it was not Li Qiushui and others, Ding Yu was a little relieved, and he asked Tong Luoxing, "What are they talking about?"
Tong Luoxing shook his head and said, "It's too far away, with my current internal strength, I can't hear clearly." ”
Ding Yu listened attentively for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a stream of fluent tribal language. Tong Luoxing was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he was forcibly repeating the conversation between the two outside, so she followed the translator and said:
"There is a monk with a girl, but they are now my guests of Yimali, what is the plan of the leader of Shakang, please wait until they leave the oasis. ”
"Hahaha~, what a windfall! Yi Mali, do you know how many silver taels your two guests are worth?"
"Silver two, Yimari will not betray his guests because of silver two......"
"If silver is not enough, what about cattle, sheep and horses, and what about women? If the price of two heads is exchanged for cattle and sheep, horses and camels, it will be enough to fill this desert!"
"But I don't know how many taels of silver?"
"The monk is 200,000 taels, and the girl is ......," Sha Kang was halfway through his speech, and suddenly realized that it was not Yi Ma Li who was asking just now, but a woman's voice. He turned his head to look, only to see a young monk with a girl ghostly appear beside him. The girl smiled and said, "Monk, it turns out that my head is worth more than you!"
The monk replied solemnly: "I think it is because you have more hair than the poor monk." ”
Sha Kang was surprised and delighted, and shouted: "Brothers, do it!" He had already pulled out a scimitar in his hand and slashed at the monk's neck. He thought that the person whose head was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver must be a ruthless character, but this knife was just a false dangling, and there was a sharp back move behind him, but seeing that the blade was about to cut the monk's neck, he was still standing motionless.
Sha Kang was overjoyed, and was about to exert his strength in his hand, but suddenly felt a sharp wind pass by, and then he saw something fly far away, and half of his body was empty and unable to exert his strength. He looked down and saw that it was his own arm holding the knife that flew out! )
