After talking to his mother for a while, Agudammu rode towards Xiao Ziyang on horseback.

In the distance, Agudamu shouted at Xiao Ziyang: "My mother said that guests from afar are welcome, there are soft wool blankets in the tent, and there are enough mutton and mare's milk wine. ”

Xiao Ziyang looked at Agudamu who jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Agudamu, and thank you for your kind and hospitable mother." ”

Led by Agudamu, Xiao Ziyang walked towards the sheepskin tent, with two hounds and a horse following behind them.

When he came to the tent, Agudamu's mother greeted him, and Xiao Ziyang looked at him, which made Xiao Ziyang feel surprised.

Xiao Ziyang was surprised, not that this woman was too ugly, but that she was too beautiful.

She looked to be about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with thin pigtails, tall and tall, long and thick black eyebrows, big and bright eyes, a long and tall nose, plump lips, and a moist and delicate face. This is a typical prairie beauty, charming and heroic.

This is unreasonable. The prairie woman, no matter how beautiful she was when she was young, had already been consumed by heavy manual labor and the harsh climate at her age.

What surprised Xiao Ziyang even more was that this woman actually had martial arts that were not weak.

Xiao Ziyang did not hide his surprise, he bent down and made a grassland salute and asked, "Beautiful and noble lady, although this is very reckless, I still can't help but want to ask, what made you such a noble lady come to this remote and barren grassland?"

The woman's surprise at Xiao Ziyang was not surprising, her appearance was indeed incompatible with this narrow tent. If Xiao Ziyang wasn't surprised, it would be strange.

She replied, "The world is always impermanent, and the noble lord today may be imprisoned tomorrow." This is not surprising! Distant guests, listen to Agudam, you have met with misfortune after a whole day of trekking. Rest in the tent, and I will prepare lamb and mare's milk wine for you. ”

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Xiao Ziyang stopped asking. Although the origin of this woman made him curious, he was not yet sensitive, thinking that two mortals could be detrimental to him.

As she entered the tent, the space inside was cramped. There was a thick blanket on the floor, and the woman invited him to sit down at a small square table.

After a while, the woman brought a large plate of lamb cut into very large pieces, a small dish of salt, and a jug of mare's milk wine. The fishy smell of mutton and mare's milk wine made Xiao Ziyang frown. He suddenly regretted the lame lie he had just made.

But if you don't eat it, according to the customs of the steppe people, it is a great insult to the owner. He gritted his teeth, pretended to be very hungry, and devoured food and wine into his stomach.

Seeing that Xiao Ziyang seemed to be eating very sweetly, the woman was very happy and wanted to buy food for Xiao Ziyang. Xiao Ziyang hurriedly refused.

Xiao Ziyang, who has been in Bigu for many years, has eaten the most painful meal in his life.

The woman cleaned up the table, sat down to chat with Xiao Ziyang, and asked about his origins. Xiao Ziyang lied that he was a member of the Ogdege tribe that was half-herding and half-hunting under the Tai'an Mountains. The leader of his tribe was sick with a strange disease, and he was ordered to go to the temple of the Great Snow Mountain, which was located in the tent of the king of Usud, to ask for holy water and cure the headman.

The Usud royal tent is the southern part of Lake Angarhur, within a radius of thousands of miles, where the royal courts of all the tribes are located, and it is also the location of the monk who looks very similar to him that Xiao Ziyang tracked.

The Great Snow Mountain Temple can only be found in the various royal tent stations on the prairie. It is the place where the guardian monks of the Daisetsuzan faction stationed in various major clans are stationed.

In addition to helping the major clans deal with some demon beasts that endanger their clansmen, the guardian monks stationed at the temple are also responsible for selecting children with spiritual roots among mortals.

The selected spirit children will first practice in the temple. A few years later, the temple selects its best and sends it to the Great Snow Mountain to select it again, and if they pass the test, they will become official disciples of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.

According to the book, all the monks of the Great Snow Mountain, after the foundation was built, would be sent to various temples on the grassland to serve as guardian monks for a period of ten years.

The monk that Xiao Ziyang was tracking down was, if nothing else, definitely the guardian monk of the Usud King Tent Temple.

After listening to Xiao Ziyang's story, the woman did not doubt it. The temple of the Great Snow Mountain often provides holy water to the nobles of various tribes that can cure all kinds of diseases.

Hearing that Xiao Ziyang came from the foot of Tai'an Mountain, thousands of miles away, he was relieved of Xiao Ziyang's slightly stiff accent.

This holy water, to put it bluntly, is actually a low-grade pill that solidifies the foundation of Peiyuan into water. The pill only had a slight effect on the monks of the first and second layers of the Qi cultivation period. For mortals, even a very diluted potion is still a rare holy medicine that strengthens the foundation.

When a sick person drinks holy water, and when the original element is strong, many diseases will naturally be cured without medicine.

After chatting for half an hour, Xiao Ziyang said goodbye to the woman and offered to buy a horse to travel.

But the woman said, "There are three days left for the temple to select the spirit child, and tomorrow morning, Agudam's father and I will send him to the king's tent to participate in the selection." Why don't you rest for the night and join us on the road tomorrow. On the big day of the selection of the spirit child, the teachers in the temple will be very generous, and it will be easier for you to ask for holy water. ”

When Xiao Ziyang heard this, he felt that in this way, it would be easier for him to blend into the temple. The purpose of his visit this time was just to investigate, so naturally he didn't want to cause any turmoil. Although he was very reluctant to face the "food" of the grassland, he still agreed.

Xiao Ziyang knew that the so-called spirit child was actually a boy with a spirit root. The Great Snow Mountain Temple Fair in various parts of the grassland holds a meeting to select spirit children once a year, and then the spirit children with heavenly spirit roots will be sent to the Great Snow Mountain Sect to be accepted as disciples and carefully cultivated. Other spirit children will stay in the local temple to practice.

Hearing that Agudamu was going to participate in the selection of the spirit child, Xiao Ziyang couldn't help but urge the spiritual eye, looked at Agudamu, and found that this young man actually had a six-grade spiritual root.

In the evening, dogs barked outside the tent. Listening to this barking, it does not seem to be a stranger, because in the barking there is also the characteristic whimper of a dog when he is extremely excited.

Agudamu jumped up excitedly, shouted "Abba!", and rushed out of the tent. The woman also came out of the tent with joy on her face.

As a guest, Xiao Ziyang also followed. In the distance, I saw a large flock of sheep floating over like white clouds. A few prairie men, riding tall horses, drove the flock.
