Chapter 448: Strange Sickness
Everyone's expressions were different, Hong Jiao and Yue Shisan's two apprentices were all bright, it was so coincidental? Zhao Rishui frowned, and secretly said that it was not good, but I hope that Shi Bomo would invite this kid to accompany him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Ritian's eyes flashed a few hints of surprise, is it a coincidence, or did he come on purpose?
Only Yue Shisan's face was still smiling: "Tianshan, it's still far away, I don't know what the little brother should do now? If you walk, I'm afraid you don't know what year and month you will be able to arrive." ”
Ling Lingqi said lightly: "This is the first time for the junior to go far away, and I only know that the Tianshan Mountains are far away in the extremely cold land, but anyway, I am not in a hurry for a moment, and it is not a big deal to walk." ”
"Oh, I have an idea, we are planning to go to the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise the little brother will go on the road with us, and there will be a good answer on the way. Yue Thirteen looked at Ling Ling Qidao.
Zhao Rishui's heart tightened, for fear that Ling Lingqi would agree, so he coughed inadvertently.
"The seniors are kind and the younger generations have understood, and they don't hide it, the younger generations have been seriously ill since childhood, and the doctor said that only the Tianshan Treasure Millennium Snow Lotus can be cured, so the younger generations are ready to go to the Tianshan Mountains to try their luck. However, because his health is too poor to stand the hurry, he will not delay the old man's trip!" What made Zhao Rishui's heart feel relieved was that Ling Lingqi actually refused Yue Shisan's invitation.
"Do you have to get a thousand years of snow lotus to be cured?" "Snow lotus is the treasure of the Tianshan Mountains, but it is impossible to find, Yue Shisan went to the Tianshan Mountains, and also hoped to gain something, now I heard Ling Lingqi say that I had to find the precious snow lotus to cure the disease, and I was shocked in my heart, "The old man also has a little study of medicine, if it is convenient, I will check the pulse for you, and see what kind of disease is so powerful?"
Ling Lingqi's face was hesitant, remembering what the crazy old man said before he died, he sighed in his heart: "It's better not to trouble the old man!"
"It's okay!" Before the words fell, Yue Shisan had already flown down from the horse's back and landed beside Ling Lingqi, seemingly slowly but very quickly pinching Ling Lingqi's left hand, and his index and middle fingers were on the veins.
At the same time as Yue Shisan flew down, Ling Lingqi frowned imperceptibly, but in the end, he didn't move, letting Yue Shisan take his pulse for him, and no one knew what thoughts flashed in his heart during this time.
After a long time, Yue Shisan let go of his hand, sighed lightly and said, "Can you show me your right hand too?"
Ling Lingqi hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his right hand that had been tugging in his sleeve.
Zhao Rishui and the others took a breath of cool air, Hong Jiao exclaimed even more in surprise, I heard Zhao Ritian say that Ling Lingqi's right hand was very withered, and I thought it was just very thin and thin, but I didn't expect it to be like this, almost only the sallow skin and the bones below were left, and the blood vessels wrapped around it like earthworms were quite scary at first glance.
Yue 13 also put his finger on the vein of Ling Lingqi's right hand, and finally sighed: "I don't know what the little brother is from?"
Ling Lingqi lamented in his heart, Yue Thirteen didn't mention the illness without saying a word, which was tantamount to acquiescing to being powerless, and put his right hand back into his sleeve: "The juniors have just practiced a few tricks that are not in the stream. ”
"Hmm!" Yue 13 thought for a while, "This is going to the Tianshan Mountains, the road is very far, you can't walk on foot, now let's go first, and then make plans when we get to Lanzhou, anyway, we are not in a hurry, just slow down these days, and enjoy the scenery along the road." Without waiting for Ling Lingqi to answer, Yue 13 had already let his two disciples ride together and give up a horse to Ling Lingqi.
The two disciples simply squeezed into a horse and vacated the horse.
Ling Lingqi couldn't refuse, so he had to get on the horse: "This will trouble everyone!" Even at this moment, Ling Lingqi's tone was still not in a hurry, and his indifferent attitude made Zhao Rishui on the side extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't do it.
"No one has a hard time when they go out. Zhao Ritian, who had never spoken, said with a smile, "My name is Zhao Ritian, the righteousness of morality, the heaven of the sky, and I am a disciple of the Huashan faction!"
"My surname is Ling, and my name is Ling Qi. ”
Ling Lingqi?
Zhao Ritian was stunned for no reason, something flashed in his mind, this name seemed to have been heard, but he couldn't grasp it......
The nearly 100-meter-long caravan walked zigzag on the northwest border of Gansu. The thin Ling Lingqi was sitting on the top of a wagon in the caravan at this time, looking at the large area of yellow sand in front of him in a daze. More than two months ago, Ling Lingqi followed Yue 13 to Lanzhou, and then Yue 13 arranged Ling Lingqi in this caravan and went to Tianshan Mountain. For Ling Lingqi, this is the best arrangement, almost without much effort, he can go straight to the Tianshan Mountain, which is much easier than riding a horse.
Next to Ling Lingqi sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with bronzed skin, who knew at a glance that he was a person who had traveled from south to north and had been weathered for a long time, this person's surname was Yang Detian, and he was the leader of this caravan. Yang Jing is a native of Lanzhou, he followed his father to do business when he was a child, from Xi'an through Yumen Pass, to Turpan and then to Urumqi, along the Tianshan Mountains to Almaty, and finally to the Caspian Sea. Now Yang Jingzi has become a leader in a small circle from his father's business, organizing his own caravan.
Yang Jingrao looked at Ling Lingqi interestingly, of course he could see that Ling Lingqi must be a person with a story, but after two months of getting along, Ling Lingqi didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, but he was very curious, what could make a young man indifferent to anything new to the point of being pure-hearted.
"Look, the jade gate is closed in front!" Yang Jing pointed ahead. The convoy also began to be lively, after all, after passing the Yumen Pass, it was equivalent to stepping out of the country.
Ling Lingqi looked into the distance, and faintly saw some buildings in a narrow valley, and let out a soft sigh.
Although Ling Lingqi is not very interested in anything, he is definitely a good observer, as long as you say it, he will listen carefully, if you don't say it, he doesn't care. Obviously, Yang Jing had known this for a long time, so he continued: "The Yumen Pass was placed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was named after the Western Regions when he imported jade from here, and became the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhilian once wrote a poem: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains." Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass', the Yumen Pass in the poem refers to this. Yang Jing took a sip of water from the sheepskin kettle, and handed the kettle to Ling Lingqi, who shook his head.
Yang Jing smiled and continued: "Out of the Jade Gate Pass, it is equivalent to going out of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Western Regions were still subordinate to our country, but for decades, the Western Regions had been chaotic and divided, especially 20 years ago, and the Turpan in front of it established itself as a khan, contending with my Ming Dynasty, but the north was ............not peaceful."
"Isn't that very dangerous ahead?" Ling Ling Qi interjected for the first time.
"......" Yang Jing was obviously stunned, and smiled, "That's not it, although Turpan is against my Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't make it difficult to travel in the past, otherwise it won't be good for both countries." Ay...... Now that most of the ancient road commerce is controlled by the state, it is becoming more and more difficult for small business travelers like us to do it......" (To be continued.) )
