Chapter 30: The Western Liang Empire
Xiao Ziyang glanced back at the two "oil bottles" that were following him, looking around, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, these two little snow tigers can't hunt and can't survive independently. After a month of getting along day and night, he had already fallen in love with these two little guys who regarded him as his mother, and he couldn't help but abandon them and leave.
Xiao Ziyang bought furs indiscriminately, bought enough medicinal materials for a month's cultivation, and went to the tailor to make clothes that fit well.
He rested in the inn for the night, and the next morning he took out his clothes and walked again to the mountain.
The two little snow tigers grew extremely fast, but they were only two months old, and they were already nearly four feet long, and they were extremely strong under Xiao Ziyang's daily medicinal diet, and they swept through the snow forest like the wind.
As they grew in size, so did their appetite, forcing him to go out hunting every two days, but it didn't take long for them to learn to hunt their own prey.
When Xiao Ziyang saw for the first time that the two little guys were dragging a yellow sheep weighing nearly 100 catties together, returning to the cave, and spreading joy around him like a treasure, he was both happy and reluctant in his heart. He knew that the time was coming for him to separate from them.
Since the two snow tigers caught their prey for the first time, they have been out of control, and they don't need Xiao Ziyang to hunt it himself in the future. Under Xiao Ziyang's medicinal diet, these two snow tigers were stronger and faster than their mothers, and hunting was a piece of cake for them.
If it weren't for Xiao Ziyang to stop them, these two guys who were neither light nor heavy would have almost killed the wild things around them. The whole cave was littered with the carcasses of wild beasts, enough for them to eat for a winter.
What made Xiao Ziyang cry and laugh was that these two little guys didn't eat raw meat at all, they dragged back the prey, and when they put it at his feet, they would stare directly at the big hanging pot he bought back when he went down the mountain for the second time.
The medicinal food that was difficult to swallow in Xiao Ziyang's eyes seemed to be a delicacy to the two sisters, and even if they stuffed raw meat into their mouths, they would be spit out, which made Xiao Ziyang worried.
One of the two snow tigers was a little bigger, a male, and Xiao Ziyang named it Da Long, while the smaller one was a female, and he named it Xiao Long.
The big dragon and the little dragon are extremely spiritual, Xiao Ziyang has no special training, and they can actually understand some of his simple language.
Winter was about to pass, and he had finally finished cultivating the first chapter of "Purple Jade Smoke".
At this time, his strength had increased more than three times compared to when he had not cultivated this sutra, and the strength between his arms was no less than 1,500 catties! Fortunately, after cultivation, the speed of the horizontal development of his body gradually decreased, but the muscles all over his body were tighter and firmer, and the muscles were as solid as iron, and he weighed nearly 400 catties, which was much heavier than it looked.
The big dragon and the little dragon were also fully grown, not counting the tails, which were already more than seven feet long, and their claws could easily rest on his shoulders.
Under Xiao Ziyang's coercion, they have reluctantly learned to eat raw meat. Otherwise, with their appetite, he would have cooked meat all day, and there would not be enough for them to eat. However, once they found out that Xiao Ziyang had started to cook meat, they would lie dead by the campfire, unable to push it away.
On this day, Xiao Ziyang called Dalong Xiaolong to his side, drank a pot of old wine, and regardless of whether they could understand it or not, he babbled to them about his hardships. He told them that he was going on a long journey, that he was going to do something very important, that he could not leave with them, so he had to separate from them. But he promised that he would come back to them when he was done.
As he spoke, he suddenly found two snow tigers, staring at him with a strong sense of reluctance and affection in his eyes, he shook his head, looked at the wine jug, and wondered if it was this time when he went down the mountain to drink, the boss forgot to mix water, so that he drank too much?
The next day, when he left, he still had a headache in his heart how to get rid of the two heels, and he had even thought about it, when the time came, he must harden his heart and scold them fiercely, not to be defeated by their two pairs of watery, pure crystal eyes.
But when he really left, the big dragon and the little dragon didn't follow, they just stood at the mouth of the cave, two pairs of big watery eyes, staring at him tightly, as if their eyes were full of reluctance, as if to say, you promised us that we must come back!
The two followers didn't keep up, Xiao Ziyang should have been happy, but he couldn't be happy, he just felt empty in his heart.
When he waved his hand at the two snow tigers, turned his head fiercely and strode forward, the two lines of hot tears could no longer hold back and roll down.
Xiao Ziyang didn't leave immediately, he stayed in the county town for three days, inquired secretly, and found no traces of the official secretly searching for him, it seems that Wu Tianyou really concealed Zhao Junshou according to his intentions. Zhilu told this message, and he left the county town satisfied.
When passing by Hengshi Town, the county seat of Dangyang County, Xiao Ziyang found that the Golden Dao Dart Bureau had been emptied, and everyone was speculating about the whereabouts of Lei Dart's family, and various rumors were rampant.
Hengshi Town is just a small town with a population of several thousand, and the people in the town basically know each other. He walked around the town for a long time, but no one recognized him, and even when he walked across from a few familiar runners in the game, they didn't even look at him.
After leaving Shanuchi County, Xiao Ziyang first went to the capital city of Ganzhou, turned to the waterway, and took a cargo ship along the Ganluo River to the southeast.
The Xiliang Empire has the Tai'an Mountains in the north and the Miluo Mountains in the south, they all start from the first mountain in the world, the Taichu Mountains, the Tai'an Mountains extend to the northwest, and the Miluo Mountains extend to the southwest, holding the entire empire in the arms in a figure-of-eight shape.
The Tai'an Mountains and the Miluo Mountains are all branches of the Taichu Mountain, the peak of the mountain is dangerous, the aura is abundant, there are many demon beasts in the mountain, and it is difficult for mortals. The two mountains became the natural barrier of the Xiliang Empire, blocking the enemies of the north and south for it.
The nomadic tribes in the north have always been the great enemies of the Taixi region and the Central Plains region in the south, so the people of Xiliang named the Tai'an Mountains for this barrier in the north.
In the east of the Xiliang Empire is the legendary Immortal Difficulty Taichu Mountain Range. Since the previous dynasty conquered the Shanluo tribe at the foot of Taichu Mountain and incorporated the Shanluo Plateau into the empire's territory, the empire no longer had enemies in the east.
The west of the Xiliang Empire is a bitter sea that is as wide as 10,000 miles from east to west and nearly 200,000 miles long from north to south.
The long and narrow Sea of Bitterness is a transportation artery connecting the eighteen countries of Taixi.
The Taixi region refers to a north-south narrow area west of the Taichu Mountains, close to the Taichu Mountains, in which eighteen countries are distributed.
To the east of Taichu Mountain is the vast Central Plains, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, the Eighteen Kingdoms of Taixi are remote and cannot be located in remote poor rural areas.
Of course, the Taixi people don't think so.
To the east of the bitter sea is the boundless desert, and it is said that if anyone can cross the desert, they will be able to see the real sea.
