Chapter 14 Namu Lake is Lost
Yelu Yuanqiu was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Where is Li Jingang injured?"
Li Pingshan replied: "On this trip to the Song Realm, I met several high-class masters, and my left shoulder was injured by Lei Dahai, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, with fingering, and then I was besieged by the Yellow River Four Heroes on the official road of Fenzhou, so my left shoulder was seriously injured. ”
Wu Tieyu said: "According to a certain person, Li Jingang's injury this time was not light, but it hurt the meridians on his hands. Although Li Jingang has used his internal strength to recuperate the wound, it will take dozens of days to heal it completely. ”
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "Master Wu is known as a medical immortal, I don't know if there is a way to heal Li Jingang's injury as soon as possible?"
Wu Tieyu said: "Boss, please rest assured, in my opinion, Li Jingang's injury can be completely healed with a little medication!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "This is very good! There were originally four King Kongs in our gate, but now the two of them are dead, and our Humen has suffered heavy losses. So much so that when the Heavenly Wolf Gate learned of this letter, they also began to provoke trouble in Bella Lake. Now not only to heal Li Jingang's injury, but also to heal Tuoba Kong's leg injury, our land Humen must have two King Kongs to do it. ”
Wu Tieyu said: "It is not difficult to heal Li Jingang's injury, but Tuoba Kong's injury is really difficult to heal for a while. Even if the officials steal the silkworm silver powder, they may not be able to find the eight-legged grass. And the eight-legged grass is only recorded in the medical canon, and I don't know if this kind of grass really exists in the world!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "Since it is recorded in the medical canon, this kind of grass must exist, so I decided to go to Tibet in person. One month to return. ”
Deacon Su Qishui hurriedly said: "No, the head of the family must not travel far." If the head of the door leaves, who will handle the affairs in the door. If the Heavenly Wolf Sect knew that the head of the sect had left Tibet, and knew that Li Jingang was seriously injured, he would definitely try his best to provoke the Tiger Gate of our land!"
Li Pingshan also said: "What Deacon Su said is very true! If the head of the family decides to go to Tibet, I am willing to do it for me!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "What I am worried about is just what Deacon Su said, but Li Jingang's injury has not healed, and it is not easy to go to the Heavenly Wolf Gate to steal the silkworm silver light powder. I think that only Li Jingang can enter the Heavenly Wolf Gate and steal the silkworm silver light powder from the Tiger Gate! This time, I and Li Jingang acted separately. I went to Tibet to get the eight-legged grass, and after Li Gangjin recovered from his injury, he went to the Heavenly Wolf Gate Holy Land to steal the silkworm silver light powder from that place! After I left, the matter in the door will be handled by Deacon Su and the hall masters!"
Su Qishui said: "I'm afraid that some people in the door will not accept this arrangement, and they will plot while the head of the door is away!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, I have made up my mind." After that, he said to the hall masters: "I am going to Tibet this time, and the affairs in the door will be handled by Deacon Su and the hall masters." In my absence, there should be no conflict with other sects or the court, and everything must be patient, not strong. And the matter of my departure from Tibet must not be lightly disclosed, and I must not let the Heavenly Wolf Gate know. ”
All the hall masters stood up and said in unison: "I respect the orders of the master!"
The next day, Yelu Yuanqiu lifted the purple gold sword and put on the black-maned horse. Wearing the stars and the moon to Tibet.
However, it is said that the horse that Yelu Yuanqiu rode was a Mongolian horse, which was covered with black hair and was tall and majestic. It is called "flying lightning", and it can travel thousands of miles in a day and 800 miles at night. Wading through mountains and rivers is like crossing flat ground. However, in the middle of the month, Yelu Yuanqiu arrived at Namu Lake in Tibet. On the same day, I rushed to the Namu Lake, rode around the lake on horseback, and saw the blue water in the Namu Lake, and the surrounding lake shore was full of weeds, and I did not find the eight-legged grass recorded in the "Great Song Dynasty Medical Dictionary" at all. And there is no human population within a radius of thirty miles on the shore of Namu Lake.
Yelu Yuanqiu searched for two days by Namu Lake, but did not find the eight-legged grass. The dry food he had brought with him had already been eaten, and he had no choice but to ride back to the town of Liwu, forty miles away, and lodge in an inn. The waiter asked the locals where the eight-legged grass was.
When Yelu Yuanqiu was dining in the inn, he saw that the locals were all speaking local dialects, and he couldn't understand what these people were talking about. The ordered meal is evenly indicated by hand gestures. I don't understand the local language, so I feel embarrassed. I thought to myself: "This Tibet has been trading with the Han people for three or four hundred years. There are many merchants in this town, and there must be people who can speak Chinese. Instead of waiting in this inn, why don't you go outside tomorrow. Maybe you can meet the person who speaks. ”
The next day, after having breakfast in the inn, Yelu Yuanqiu led his horse to the main street of Liwu Town. I saw that there were many merchants in the streets. But very few people understand Chinese. Yelu Yuanqiu led his horse slowly down the street, hanging the purple gold sword on his horse's back. After walking for a few miles, suddenly a man stepped forward. Carefully observe the horse he leads, and then ask a few more questions in the local dialect. Seeing that he didn't understand, the man immediately walked away. Yelu Yuanqiu stopped the horse and turned to observe the man, but saw the man go straight to a carriage next to him, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said a few words. Suddenly, a young man came out of the carriage.
Yelu Yuanqiu saw that the young boy was about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed luxuriously, and must have been a rich son. Yuan Qiu disliked dealing with these rich sons the most in his life. When I saw the boy get out of the carriage, Yuan Qiu just led the horse. I didn't count the steps, but when I saw the young man come forward, he waved his hand and asked in Chinese: "Dare to ask where the strong man is in the fairy town, why do you come to me again if you don't understand my language?"
Qiu was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't want this young man to be young, but he could speak Chinese. This young man was the first person he had seen in Tibet who could speak Han life. Then he replied: "I came from Longhua Prefecture, just because when my brother went up the mountain to cut wood, he rolled down a boulder from the mountain and smashed one of my brother's leg bones. The doctor said that if you want to heal your brother's leg injury, you can use eight-legged grass as a medicine. I'm here to find the eight-legged grass!"
The young man asked movingly, "Dare to ask the strong man if he found the eight-legged grass?"
Qiu replied: "I heard that the eight-legged grass grows near Namu Lake, and I searched for Namu Lake for two days the day before yesterday, and finally found it. If the son knows the whereabouts of the eight-legged grass, please give me advice!"
The boy replied, "Yes, the eight-legged grass does grow near Namu Lake. But it's not wild, it's desirable for everyone. If you want to obtain eight-legged grass, you must be wise and brave. ”
Qiu said: "So, does Childe know the whereabouts of the eight-legged grass?"
The young man said: "I like to get acquainted with the heroes of the world the most, I see that the horse of the strong man is extraordinary, and the strong man must also be a hero." You and I meet today, the fate is not shallow, it is not as good as talking to the cold house. How?"
Qiu saw that this young man spoke decently, understood Chinese deeply, and knew the whereabouts of the eight-legged grass, and the intention of inviting each other was very sincere. Then he said: "Since the son is invited, I am willing to go to Xianzhuang with the son to drink." ”
The young man said, "Strong man, come with me!" After that, he waved to the carriage, and the man was about to drive the carriage over.
Yelu Yuanqiu rode a horse and followed behind the carriage. And when they went out of the town of Leou, they went a few miles south, but they saw a village, and the houses were very dense. When he got closer, he saw that the entrance of the village was guarded by soldiers, and Yelu Yuanqiu realized that this was a military camp, not a village.
Yelu Yuanqiu followed the young man and drove straight in, but saw that the soldiers in this barracks were all young and middle-aged, and there were countless barracks, and according to visual observation, there were at least more than 10,000 strong men in the barracks. The barracks are connected for miles.
After following the young man through two large camps, Yelu Yuanqiu turned left and entered a martial arts hall. The young man got down from the carriage and said to Yelu Yuanqiu: "Strong man, hand over the BMW to the next person and take it to the back horse farm to feed, and come with me!"
Yelu Yuanqiu jumped off his horse and took off his sword. Hand over the black-maned electric horse to someone and take it away. Follow the young man into a guest room from the martial arts hall.
The young man sat down, and Yelu Yuanqiu sat down with the young man, and the servant offered tea. After tea, Yelu Yuanqiu said: "Thank you Gongzi for waiting for tea, I didn't come here for him, just to find the eight-legged grass and treat my brother's leg injury." If the son knows the whereabouts of the eight-legged grass, and asks for advice, if there is nothing else, he should leave. ”
The young man said: "I am the captain of the Tibetan soldiers and horses, and my surname is Dongguo Dingyuan." I like to get to know the heroes of the world the most in my life. I see that the strong man has an extraordinary appearance, and there is a BMW as a mount. A strong man dares to come all the way to Tibet, presumably a strong man must be a martial artist and a brave man. Dare to ask Zhuanggui's surname?"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "My surname is Yelu, my name is Yuanqiu!" and I asked Gongzi where the eight-legged grass was, and I hope that Gongzi will guide him." The brother under him was still lying on the bed at the moment, unable to get up. If Childe can tell the location of the eight-legged grass, he will not forget Childe's great kindness!"
Dongguo Dingyuan said: "That eight-legged grass is a specialty of Tibet, and it is also a bone renewal elixir. Everyone in Tibet knows this, but it is not so easy to obtain eight-legged grass. ”
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "What do you say about the son?"
Dingyuan said: "The eight-legged grass is a bone renewal elixir, even if the bones are shattered, as long as they don't hide from the limbs." It can be cured with eight-legged grass. But this eight-legged grass is not everywhere in Tibet, only in the Valley of Hundred Grasses!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "Where is the Hundred Grass Valley?"
Dingyuan said: "Baicao Valley is in a valley thirty miles southwest of Namu Lake. The lord of the valley is a Taoist, a Daoist with the name of Baicao! This Baicao Daoist is a strong martial artist, with a strange temper, and moody! For decades, he has never given away the eight-legged grass lightly. Three years ago, there were six Great Song masters who came to ask for eight-legged grass. But the six people never came out after entering the Hundred Grass Valley. Although Baicao Valley is near Namu Lake, no one has ever entered Baigu near Namu Lake. Whoever strayed into the Valley of the Hundred Grasses, none of them will come out alive!"
When Yelu Yuanqiu heard this, he was moved and said: "If this is the case, then no one has ever seen eight-legged grass again?"
Last year, Prince Haoduo rode a horse and broke his left hand, which was healed by the Baicao Dao people with eight-legged grass. For decades, the people of Baicao Dao have only healed Prince Haoduo alone. ”
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "Why do the people of Baicao Dao want to treat Prince Haoduo. ”
Dingyuan said: "Because Haoduo is a prince, the people of Baicao Dao have to be governed." ”
Yelu Yuanqiu heard Dong Guo Dingyuan's words, and secretly thought: Even so, you should give it a try. Then he said: "Thank you Gongzi for your advice, please bring my horses here, and I will go to Baicao Valley to get the eight-legged grass!"
Dingyuan said: "Yelu Daxia don't be rash, if you don't get it right, you will go and have no return." ”
Yuan Qiu said: "Thank you for your kindness!" After that, he got up and walked out of the guest room. Dingyuan went out with him and ordered his subordinates to bring the horses. Yelu Yuanqiu flew on the horse!
Ding Yuan said: "If there is anything unsatisfactory in Yelu Daxia, just come back to find me!" After that, he took out a waist card and gave it to Yelu Yuanqiu and said: "When Yelu Daxia comes to me next time, he only needs to take out this waist card to enter the barracks!"
Yelu Yuanqiu took the waist card, thanked him and left! According to Dongguo Dingyuan's words, he traveled 30 miles southwest of Namu Lake, and saw a big mountain. Looking from afar, I saw that the mountain was full of clouds and mist. A trail leads into the mountains. Yelu Yuanqiu rode a flying horse along the trail and crossed a mountain, but saw that the trail had reached the end, and there was a boundary monument at the end of the road, which was engraved with three big characters of Baicao Valley.
Yelu Yuanqiu paused slightly in front of the boundary monument on horseback, and looked up at the valley full of flowers, thousands of purples and reds. Several others were toiling among the flowers. Yelu Yuanqiu was overjoyed when he saw this, and thought secretly: This must be the Valley of Hundred Grasses. But the valley seemed not far away, but it was separated by a large forest. The only way to get to that valley is to go through this wood. Yelu Yuanqiu thought for a moment. Then the horse marched forward, but when the black-maned horse reached the boundary monument, it only chirped, but refused to take another half step.
The horse of Yelu Yuanqiu is a BMW, and it also has spirituality. Since the horse refuses to move forward, there must be something unusual in the woods. So he jumped off his horse, picked up a roadstone by the side of the road, and threw it into the woods. But as soon as the stones rolled past, the arrows in the woods were like flying locusts. A flurry of shots from both sides. After the arrows, a voice came from the top of the opposite hill. This voice was first repeated in Tufanhua, and after a while, it was said in Chinese: "Baicao Valley, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and those who enter will die!" The voice stretched for dozens of miles, old and melodious.
Yelu Yuanqiu listened to this voice, the internal force was strong, the sound was transmitted for thousands of miles, and the size was uniform. The voice echoed as it passed past my ears. Yelu Yuanqiu was already strong in martial arts, and from the strength of this voice, he had already judged that the person who started the voice was also strong in martial arts, and he also judged the position of the person who pronounced it. Then he also used thousands of miles of sound transmission skills to say: "I am a golden person, and I am here to ask for eight-legged grass for life-saving purposes." I hope that the Taoist will give it away!"
As soon as Yelu Yuanqiu's voice fell, another voice came from the top of the mountain, saying: "I didn't expect that there would be a master in my Baicao Valley today, which made the valley tent shine for a lifetime." But my Baicao Valley never gives away the eight-legged grass lightly, this is the rule of the valley, and the prestige of the rule is broken. This ideal must be understood by the benefactor. I advise the donor to have a boundless sea of suffering, and to turn back to the shore. It's better not to break into my Baicao Valley. For decades, no one has ever left Wubaigu alive!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "The eight-legged grass is a good medicine for curing diseases and saving people, why should the Taoist hide this grass in the valley and refuse to use it for the benefit of the world?
The Baicao Daoist said: "What does it have to do with whether you use it to benefit the people of the world? I know that your martial arts are strong, but I still advise you to turn back to the shore and not to enter the sea of suffering!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "I have come all the way here to ask for medicine, and I swear to get it." I don't want to be so stubborn, I have to offend if I don't want to be a Taoist!"
The Baicao Daoist said: "My Baicao Valley has a lot of organs, how can you come when you want to, and leave when you want." I advise you to know for yourselves!"
Yelu Yuanqiu knew that it was useless to say more, and this Baicao Dao man was a stubborn and unrelenting stranger. You can't only force it when you ask for medicine. Yuan Qiu knew that Baicao Valley was full of organs and dangers. If you force yourself into the Hundred Grass Valley, you need to make some preparations. After thinking about it, he hid his robe and picked up a bag of wayfinding stones on the hillside and carried it on his back. Park the black-maned horse at the boundary monument of the Hundred Grass Valley. Holding a purple gold sword, fly up the tree. Each tree is first tested with a waystone. Wait until the mechanism is activated before moving forward.
With the help of the waystone, Yelu Yuanqiu successfully passed through the woods full of organs. And leave a mark on each tree as a sign of retreat. After passing through the woods, I saw that the land of flowers was far beyond a forest. Yelu Yuanqiu was an extremely intelligent person, and after seeing that the land of flowers was far away from a forest, he knew that it was the Taiji Phantom Array set up by the Baicao Dao people using the trees.
Yelu Yuanqiu is not only strong in martial arts, but also knows the formation. Let's say that this Taiji Phantom Array was created by Mr. Ram during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Divide yin and yang, chaotic illusions. Yelu Yuanqiu knew that this formation could only be placed when there was sunlight, if the sun set. This formation is of no use.
Yelu Yuanqiu stopped on a big tree and looked up at the sun, but saw that the sun had already covered the west, and the sun would set in another hour. Only by waiting until sunset and breaking this Tai Chi Phantom Array can we continue to move forward. Then he stopped on the tree and took a sip of his handsome wine naan. About half an hour later, a puffy cloud blocked out the sun's rays. Yuan Qiu looked at it. But I saw that the land of flowers did not exist at all, but only a forest of trees. But he went down to another valley. I had to go back the way I came. Return to the boundary monument of Baicao Valley and jump on a big tree. He looked around the valley from the tree, and it turned out that there was nothing in the valley. If you pass the top of the mountain on the opposite side, you can see behind the mountain. And the top of the mountain is where the Baicao Dao people spoke just now.
After recognizing the direction, Yelu Yuanqiu still used the method of throwing stones to ask for directions with light skills to walk on the branches of the tree and went to the top of the opposite mountain. Yelu Yuanqiu's martial arts were world-beaten, and he came to the bottom of the valley in a moment. Suddenly, there were several paths up the hill at the bottom of the valley. Although Yelu Yuanqiu saw several paths going up the mountain, he still didn't dare to walk on the paths. After all, a mechanism suddenly appeared on the suspicious path to catch himself. Still walking on the branches of the tree with the same method as before. Halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a row of neat trees blocking the way. But this row of trees is different from the others.
Yelu Yuanqiu stood on a tree, and after observing it carefully, he took out several wayfinding stones and sent them out together. Seeing that there was no movement in the trees, he flew over this row of trees. He didn't stand steady, but he saw several flying spears shooting at him at once. Yelu Yuanqiu saw that the flying spear was shooting too quickly, and he stood on the tree and had nowhere to hide. I had to jump into a side path. At that moment, a steel wire mesh fell from the sky and landed almost at the same time as him. Yelu Yuanqiu sighed secretly and said, "What a powerful mechanism!" was just caught by the net. I heard a voice come again: "I have long advised you that the sea of bitterness is boundless, and you turn back to the shore, but you insist on not listening, and insist on breaking into my hundred grass valley." What are you doing now? It's just a pity that you are a good martial artist. ”
Yelu Yuanqiu was caught in the net and did not answer. Pulling out the purple gold sword and swinging it at the steel wire mesh, it cut a hole in the steel wire mesh. Perform light skills and fly out.
At this time, I only heard a strange cry from the top of the mountain: "Ha yes!" Then another voice came: "It turns out that the donor has such a sharp sword in his hand that he can cut through my hundred steel wire mesh." No wonder you dare to break into my Baicao Valley. ”
Yelu Yuanqiu heard the voice coming from not far away, and said, "I never thought that there would be such a mechanism in the Hundred Grass Valley. ”
A voice said, "You can break through here, and you can break through my Taiji Phantom Array, and you are holding a rare sword." I know that you are also a capable person. But if you want to seize the eight-legged grass, I'm afraid it's not enough! If you turn back now, you can still get out of the sea of suffering, and I will protect you and retreat with your whole body!"
Yelu Yuanqiu said: "I have already said that I have come to ask for eight-legged grass just to save people, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire are blocking the way!"
"In that case, you're welcome!" Before the words fell, several flying spears were fired simultaneously from all directions.
Yelu Yuanqiu had already taken precautions this time, and saw the flying gun coming. Hurriedly jumped into the air and jumped several feet high. In the air, the purple gold sword was unsheathed, and the true qi of the whole body was exercised, and the most powerful move in the Qimen sword style was cast, which was called: Qimen Shield Armor Sword. But seeing the heavy shadow of the sword, the figure flew over. Dozens of flying spears were cut off in an instant. I took another breath and jumped to the top of the mountain.
