Chapter 9: Seeking Ice Silkworms
Because of the face of this miracle, Tan Xiaotian will have the feeling of entering Baoshan but coming out empty-handed!
"But think about it, I'm not without gains, at least I can cultivate the part of the atlas. You Tanzhi only practiced this part, and in a short period of time, he jumped from the bottom of the rivers and lakes to become one of the top masters in the world, so in this way, God treats me as a book!" Tan Xiaotian thought about it, and felt that he didn't suffer any losses, but made a lot of money, so why be greedy and insufficient?
The next day, seeing that the sky was almost bright, Tan Xiaotian got up with a yawn.
After thinking about it all night, Tan Xiaotian had already made up his mind, now that he was on Yanjing's side, it was better to get the Kunlun Ice Silkworm first. He turned around and got on a horse.
Yesterday, Tan Xiaotian was learning to ride a horse in addition to practicing the Yijin Sutra, which was much better than at the beginning. This is thanks to the Yi Jin Jing, this strange book has also greatly increased his physique, far beyond ordinary people.
Tan Xiaotian first found the official road, and after waiting on the road for a long time, there were few people, and finally found a person, who was still a Khitan, and he couldn't speak Chinese. The angry Tan Xiaotian wanted to scold his mother.
He thought about it and lived in the field for a few more days, still practicing the Yijin Sutra and riding horses. I go to the official road every day to see, but there are not many people who come and go, and even fewer people can speak Chinese, and there is no one who knows about Minzhong Temple.
On this day, he got up early in the morning.
"I had no choice but to go to Yanjing. Tan Xiaotian sighed, he was mainly afraid of meeting Ah Zi. This is one of the few standard bad guys among the heroines of Jin Yong's novels. Although the injury is just right now, its force value is not as good as before, the problem is that the family has a good brother-in-law, Xiao Feng, who is now the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liaoguo. Therefore, she can more or less call on a group of people in the palace, which makes Tan Xiaotian jealous, after all, his martial arts have not yet reached the realm of being idle at this time, and he can't even do light skills, but his speed and endurance are far superior to ordinary people.
Nanjing, which is today's Beijing, was called Yanjing at that time, also known as Youdu, and was the capital of Youzhou. Later, Shi Jingtang established himself as the emperor, and was fully supported by the Liao State, and Shi Jingtang cut the sixteen states of Yanyun as a reward.
Beijing, which is now Yanjing City, is obviously not as prosperous as later generations, and if you think about it, if Beijing really wants to make a career, you have to wait for our Yongle Emperor Zhu Laosi to come to power.
Tan Xiaotian entered the city, and saw that although it was not as prosperous as in later generations, the streets of Nanjing City were wide, the city was prosperous, and the people who came and went were the people of the Southern Dynasties, and all he heard was the Central Plains dialect, which was different from the Khitan dialect, at least he could understand it.
Haha, yes, yes, I can finally understand, I watched those people talking bullshit Khitan along the way, and I couldn't understand half a sentence, and even the people guarding the city gate didn't look at Tan Xiaotian very right.
He read in the book that there are thirty-six miles in Yanjing City, and there are eight gates. The east is the Andong Gate, the Yingchun Gate, the south is the Kaiyang Gate, the Danfeng Gate, the west is the Xianxi Gate, the Qing Jin Gate, the north is the Tongtian Gate, the Gongzhen Gate. The two north gates are called Tongmen and Gongzhen, which means to submit to this and obey the emperor's decree from the face. The palace of Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is in the southwest of the city.
"At this time, Xiao Feng's official residence was the king of the South Courtyard, and although the sixteen states of Yanyun were under his jurisdiction, the area of Datong Mansion in Xijing Road and the area of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing Road were also under his orders. It's really majestic! Tan Xiaotian was envious.
Xiao Feng and Ah Zi traveled for half a day, and saw the city, the house, the temple, and the official office, densely spread across the four cities, and for a while, the view was endless. I'm not here to play, though. Tan Xiaotian found someone on the street and began to ask where is the Minzhong Temple?
After asking a few Han people, I finally knew the whereabouts of Minzhong Temple.
He hurriedly replenished some dry food and water, and planned to leave without even eating, after all, it would not be a good thing if he bumped into Ah Zi.
Just as Tan Xiaotian wanted to leave, he suddenly saw a pale, delicate and beautiful little girl riding a horse, followed by dozens of Khitan warriors.
I saw her smile gently: "You can't escape this time, right?"
Tan Xiaotian knew that it was not good, and it seemed that he was going to flee as soon as he turned around.
Ah Zi gritted his teeth: "Go on, give it to me, catch it alive, if you can't catch it, you won't be killed." ”
Hearing this, the Khitan soldiers rushed forward.
I saw a Khitan soldier pounce on Tan Xiaotian and wanted to push him to the ground.
Tan Xiaotian suddenly turned around and smiled slightly, grabbed him, and threw him out, just hitting a few Khitan warriors, and suddenly people turned on their backs, and the scene was chaotic.
Tan Xiaotian took advantage of this moment to stride directly to Ah Zi's side, pulled out the knife in the saddle, and aimed it at Ah Zi's throat.
"Ah Zi girl is delicate and expensive, but it is not good to have the slightest injury, and you still don't retreat. Tan Xiaotian's face turned solemn at this time, and he shouted loudly to the Khitan warriors who seemed to be about to rush up.
"No, don't hurt Ah Zi girl-" I saw You Tanzhi running over from the southwest of the city panting with a big iron mask on his head at this time.
He didn't use it at all last time. (Tan Xiaotian didn't think much of it, but he sent him the Yijin Sutra Divine Skill!)
Ah Zi thought he was useless, so he didn't call him when he dealt with Tan Xiaotian this time. But You Tanzhi has a deep affection for Ah Zi, and as soon as he heard that she came out to do errands, he hurriedly chased after her.
"Haha, I naturally don't dare to hurt half of Miss Azi's hair, I just want to leave the city, but if I can't get out of the city, my life is difficult to protect, then it's no wonder to find a backpad. Tan Xiaotian said.
Although the expression on his face was serious, there was no hideous expression, as if he was discussing with his friends what to eat today, but the threat in his words was undisguised.
"Okay, okay, let him go. You Tanzhi shouted at those Khitan warriors, and then turned to Tan Xiaotian and shouted, "Okay, you can release Ah Zi girl now." ”
Tan Xiaotian shook his head, couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "I don't know if my brother's words can work?" In order to ensure safety, I took Ah Zi girl on a certain road, and released her immediately after leaving the city, but the brothers couldn't follow. ”
The words were spoken, but Tan Xiaotian always stared at Ah Zi, and he didn't look at those Khitan warriors.
Those Khitans looked at each other without speaking, and looked at Ah Zi one after another.
Ah Zixin said: "Okay, if you go out of the city, you will go out of the city, and then you will see your aunt's ability!"
Ah Zi pretended to be pitiful and said, "Okay, since my net worth and life are in your hands, I can only listen to your orders." Then he turned to the Khitan warriors and shouted, "Go tell my brother-in-law that I have been kidnapped!
Tan Xiao got on a horse in the sky, held the reins of Ah Zi and his mount with one hand and walked forward slowly, and held a knife on Ah Zi's neck with the other. Ah Zi is too vicious, Tan Xiaotian has practiced the Yi Jin Jing for a few days at this time, and it is only a small success, it seems that his strength has increased greatly, as if he was born with divine power, and his quick reaction is also outstanding, but the rest of the martial arts moves are still not working.
Therefore, he did not dare to ride on the same horse with her, lest he would be unable to react for a while under her plot, and he would die at her hands.
Ah Zi's heart is also very dark, she has just recovered from a serious injury, she can move and ride a horse, but she is not as agile as before, if Tan Xiaotian is closer, she has all kinds of methods. But Tan Xiaotian always kept a certain distance from her, except for the knife on her neck, he didn't even touch her with a finger.
In order to prevent Xiao Feng from coming or causing any more accidents, Tan Xiaotian hijacked Ah Zi and walked out of the city gate, and didn't go far and stabbed a knife on the butt of the mount under her crotch, making the horse rush madly in one direction, Ah Zi hurriedly grabbed the reins and tried his best to control the horse under the crotch.
Tan Xiaotian took advantage of this kung fu and rode his horse in another direction without looking back.
After riding for a while, he felt that it was almost over, and Tan Xiaotian rushed to the original target, Minzhong Temple.
Riding a horse and whipping at a gallop, after a long time, at the end of the mountain in front of Tan Xiaotian, there was a magnificent temple.
He quickly dismounted and rushed closer, and saw the plaque in front of the temple with five big characters written "Ejian Minzhong Temple".
He was worried that after Ah Zi returned to the city, the person who found him to ask for directions would inevitably come to find trouble again when he learned that he had come here. At the moment, I didn't have time to look at the temple carefully, and secretly went to the back of the temple.
But there is no bell chime wooden fish and the sound of chanting in the temple, looking at the sky, the morning class has already ended, and the monks may be eating lunch in the "hall" at this time. However, in some places, there is a custom of skipping lunch.
Tan Xiaotian walked quietly along the foot of the wall, crossed a large muddy field, and came to a vegetable garden. He sincerely hoped that Monk Huijing and the Ice Silkworm were here, and nothing else would happen.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Tan Xiaotian was looking for his way to the backyard, when he suddenly heard a question.
Tan Xiaotian was suddenly startled, and he was busy looking for prestige, but he was a middle-aged monk, his face was full of suspicion, and his two eyes were staring at Tan Xiaotian motionlessly, with an unkind expression.
