Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 136 Several Women
136
Not long ago, Ah Niu got into the octopus's body and the three of the yellow-toothed old man should work together to solve this behemoth, and when he fell into the belly, he completely saw the octopus's belly, and also saw two boxes, and saw the box and naturally knew what the dart in the box was, that was the scale armor on the two boxes that I don't know what it was, combined with the sudden evil Jiao in Jiangxia not long ago, it is not difficult to guess where the scale armor that can be so heavily guarded came from, someone dismembered the corpse of the evil Jiao, divided it into so many boxes and packed it up, to be transported to the Northern Wei Dynastyγ
That's why the octopus will target them, because even if the evil Jiao has died, its flesh and blood are still rare treasures, if it can be used in medicine to strengthen the body, if it can be digested by the octopus, it will be like a tiger.
As early as when he stepped into the border town, Ah Niu had suspicions, although he couldn't remember many things in the past, but he didn't listen to the caravan nagging along the way, and this caravan also had a lot of veterans who had eaten this bowl of rice for a long time, they had set foot in this desert, although they believed in the gods and ghosts, but in the past years, they had never seen any strange powers, but they knew that the black sandstorm in the desert was every year, and the black sandstorm was the biggest monster in this desert, how could this octopus suddenly appear? When things go wrong, there must be cats, but I have made many guesses, but I didn't expect to be really guessed by myself that there was a problem with this dart, and I didn't expect that when I personally escorted this batch of darts I didn't know what the darts were, this Yuqingguan disciple who was thousands of miles away already knew.
Ah Niu frowned and asked, he didn't believe that there were really people in the world who could predict the prophet, and besides, these Yuqingguan Taoist priests had no reason to help them eradicate the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods along the way, because they didn't collect money.
"It doesn't matter how I learned or who told me, the important thing is that you must not lose these darts, it is related to the safety of the people of the Central Plains, as the right way in the world, we have a reason to protect you openly and secretly. β
"Protect us, or seek our protection? I don't really like to listen to high-sounding words, after all, it is a fact that many of your disciples of Yuqing Mountain have died and become separated from their teammates. β
Ah Niu said lightly.
"You are not the opponent of these bull ghosts and snake gods in the desert, how can you protect us?"
The young Taoist priest blushed, he didn't know how to refute, because the facts were in front of him, he was powerless to refute at all, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, and he always blamed himself for being too conceited, thinking that the demons in this desert would not be like this so so he asked for his life to lead the team down the mountain, in fact, he was not a conceited person, just to show his face in front of someone.
Seeing that the Taoist shut up and stopped talking, Ah Niu was not good at falling down again, after all, no matter whether what this Taoist said was true or not, he had never harmed the caravan, he was not the boss of the caravan, but he still said it with a smile.
"In fact, if we can have a few more people with us, we have a better chance of getting out of the desert safely, but there are not enough camels, so we can only rely on walking, I hope you won't mind." β
The Taoist still didn't speak, but the steps that never fell behind had proved his mind.
The caravan was able to continue on the road, although the dozen or so Taoist priests from Yuqing Mountain walked, but they did not necessarily leave the camel caravan, the old man with yellow teeth seemed to have opened the conversation box since last night after working together to kill the octopus, chatting with the fisherman along the way, he didn't take the initiative to talk to Ah Niu, maybe he felt that Ah Niu was not a person who talked a lot, in fact, anyone who looked at the young man on the camel team from a distance would not think that he was a very good person.
He has very few words, and most of the time his eyes are empty, but when he encounters danger, he always awakens as soon as possible, such as this desert horse thief with fifty or sixty people.
But this trip was not dangerous, because the caravan of fifty or sixty men had just come out from behind the dunes and immediately retracted their heads, presumably the people who had sent the news to the horse thieves had not told them how many people there were in this caravan.
They met a group of poisonous scorpions the size of horses, and there was no danger, the people of the caravan did not make a move, and the three old men did not make a move, all of them were solved by more than a dozen Taoists of Yuqing Mountain, they used a seven-star peach wood sword, presumably this sword has the blessing of mental power to sharpen iron like mud.
After the poisonous scorpion encountered a small sandstorm, fortunately there was a high wall surrounded by camels, people and goods were unharmed, and met a quicksand, fortunately, the old man with yellow teeth had a lot of experience, and finally let the caravan survive, but along the way, the caravan talked and laughed, because every time it can turn evil into good fortune, the old man with yellow teeth said less and less, from the beginning of the young fisherman chattering to the later fisherman took the initiative to listen to those stories when he was young, he was a little ignorant.
Even if Ah Niu took the initiative to come next to him, he just left a cold sentence, which was too unusual.
What is unusual? Who has ever seen a tower-sized octopus? Where have you heard of a scorpion the size of a horse? Where did the sandstorm in April come from?
Everything that could not have happened happened these days without warning.
"I really realize now that Wanqing is more than lucky. β
When the camel team stopped, the young Taoist gathered around the bonfire and said with some concern, more than a dozen of them who were lucky to survive the Yuqing Mountain Taoist priest were gathered together, and behind them were Ah Niu, the old man with yellow teeth and the fisherman.
"Listening to your tone, you seem to care a lot about what you say. β
Ah Niu interjected, he didn't actually want to interject, he just suddenly felt that this Taoist priest was not as arrogant as he was two days ago, and he was now like a child who had been abandoned by his parents and didn't know what to do.
In fact, it is true, in the Central Plains of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he is the envy of thousands of people, he is nothing, at most he is nothing in this desert, at most he is just the stomach of the monsters that will appear in this desert at some point.
"You're right, I care about her very much, if it weren't for the sake of showing in front of her, I wouldn't have asked for my life so hard to lead the team to this Black Desert, and I wouldn't have caused a dozen juniors to throw their lives in the Black Desert, I regret it. β
"Do you regret that you fell in love with that woman?"
"No, I don't regret liking her, I only regret that I shouldn't have been so conceited and lost my life. β
"Sometimes, some lessons are indeed exchanged for life, I heard that there are three holy places in Taoism in the Central Plains of the Northern Wei Dynasty, since this dart is very important to the Northern Wei Dynasty, why is it only you Yuqing Mountain sent someone to protect it?"
Ah Niu is a little puzzled, and his puzzlement is also the puzzlement of many people.
"Because the three holy lands in addition to Yuqing Mountain, the other two major avenues have some troubles, Xuanyuan Hongtu wants to unify the martial arts, my Taoist three holy lands bear the brunt, this batch of darts is what he wants, and he also wants me Yuqing Mountain and Emei to protect, he is not called Taiqingguan and Shangqingguan, because he can't help these two avenues, only we have Yuqingshan and Emei. β
"Oh, why is that?"
"Because the Three Great Dao Sect is only my Yuqing and Emei are in decline, I have to surrender to Xuanyuan Hongtu's 200,000 iron horses, and the Three Great Dao Unification is the same as the branch, and the original master refused to agree to this, but this batch of darts is related to the safety of the people in the Central Plains, and the master has to follow, but unfortunately he Xuanyuan Hongtu can't help the Qingguan, and he can't help the Taiqingguan. β
"Why?"
"Because these two avenues have produced great characters, and there are people who can take the head of the enemy generals from the army, Xuanyuan Hongtu is also afraid of death. β
"Are these two characters you said really so powerful?"
"Is it great to be able to kill the evil dragon with three swords? Is it great to be able to open the mountain with one sword? It's a pity that my Lan Sheng doesn't have such a good talent, and he can't fight for me Yuqing, he Xuanyuan Hongtu knows that the older generation of Sanqing characters are unwilling to act against the sky, but the younger generation of characters may not be able to, he is very good at judging the situation, he is looking for an opportunity to suppress Shangqing and Taiqing, but unfortunately I don't know if I can wait for such an opportunity. β
"Although I don't understand what you said, I can faintly feel that what you said is very powerful, then the Emei you said should also be a character who has not appeared in Yuqing Mountain. β
"Yes, except for Wanqing and Mingyue, Emei basically has no disciples who can handle it, and the older generation of uncles are unwilling to use Emei's hundreds of years of foundation and Xuanyuan grand plan to wrestle their wrists, they can only obey. β
"It sounds like you two are very sad, it's not a good errand, maybe I should have a drink with you, but I know that you Taoist priests don't drink, I can only hope that you can find the person you want to find. β
"But I suddenly don't want to be in such a hurry to see them, because you're here too, maybe I really recognized the wrong person, but I still want to believe that you are the one who has passed the book back and died. β
"But whether I'm that person or not, I'm almost dead, because I can't remember anything before, so you can rest assured, I salute you, Daoist, I've come all the way for you, in fact, I should have our caravan boss come to honor you, but he's a stingy guy, and he shouldn't like to drink with strangers. β
Ah Niu snatched the wine pot from the old man's hand and took a sip from Fang Lansheng.
He said leisurely.
"I don't know who you are talking about, but I guess he is definitely not a good person, bad people generally do not have too good results, I guess he must have offended many people, many people want his life, he will die very miserably, not early, rest early, and when you get out of this black desert safely, your mission will be a complete success." β
This is probably the most said by Ah Niu since he was rescued these days, he actually doesn't know why there are so many words today, he took out the letter and portrait in his arms and looked at it over and over, hoping to recall some things, he only felt that the two people on the portrait were very familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it at all, and he vaguely felt that he should not be such a person who liked to tell big truths before.
He was ready to put away these things and sleep comfortably, but the letter in his hand was snatched by the girl in red who suddenly appeared, the girl is sometimes very quiet, such as when she holds the book in her left hand and twists the snack in her right hand, sometimes she is very jealous and hateful, such as when the officers and soldiers in the town stopped Ah Niu and the fisherman at the gate of the city, she is sometimes very gentle, such as when she apologized two days ago, but the girl is very strange now, such as when she suddenly snatched the letter.
"Wow, it was written by a girl, look at this handwriting, how juanxiu, I think it's a young girl, she must have very slender fingers, and a blue heart, am I right?"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she didn't read the letter carefully, but she glanced at it a few times, and what she wrote was not a fleshy love story, but just like a family routine.
"Ah Niu, I really didn't see that such a cold guy as you still knew such a good girl, tell me, she is your sweetheart?"
"I don't know who she is. β
Originally, anyone would not be too happy if they encountered such an impolite thing, but Ah Niu's face was as usual, because he really couldn't remember who she was.
"But she must be a girl with whom I used to have a good relationship, otherwise I would not have carried her letters with me, some time ago I was very eager to see who this girl was, but now I suddenly do not want to see her, because I can't remember her, it will be very embarrassing, maybe after these letters we have become enemies, but I have forgotten, I will be careless, she is very likely to kill me with a sword, a person with a bad memory is this is a little bad. β
"You think so much, okay, I won't joke with you anymore, the letter will be returned to you, just look at you in a daze and think you are thinking about someone. β
The girl returned the letter, in fact, she wanted to see who the two people in this portrait were, because the three people in this painting with their backs to the river looked really meaningful.
Ah Niu was very busy tonight, so he spoke to Fang Lansheng, and said a few words to the lady in red, and now the old man with yellow teeth came over again.
"The person in your portrait is very interesting. β
The old man with yellow teeth smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, which he had just glanced at inadvertently.
"The sword box behind you is more interesting, seven swords are fused into one, you can divide if you want, you can combine if you want, I'm afraid this kind of ability is very powerful even if you get it in this world, I'm curious where you came from, old man. β
"The place where I came is far away, as for the sword box behind me, it was also given by my master, because I have learned nothing from him for twenty years of sword learning, and he is afraid that I will embarrass him after I go down the mountain, so he gave me this sword box. β
"Then your master is quite stingy, and a sword is not worth a few dollars. β
"That's not it, Master has a lot of skills, but I can't learn it. What about you, why don't you have a weapon to take advantage of? Your talent is very good, and you have entered the second rank of martial arts at a young age, and you may be able to achieve a land immortal in your lifetime. β
"It's too far to say that, we can get the money on this trip, and the most important thing is to get the silver, and I will use this money to start doing what I want to do." β
"What do you want to do? Do you want to bring the old man with me?"
"Forget it. You're old, you should do some easy work, as for the sale of this dart, it's good if you don't take it. It's a little aggrieved to die in this black desert. β
"You have a point, I decided to listen to you, but before I can do something. This dart trip is just a stop-by. β
"It's certainly not easy to do. β
"It's not easy, it's just like that, it's just a sword comparison with someone. β
The old man with yellow teeth didn't say who he was looking for to compete with the sword.
Because by this time the caravan had begun to gradually quiet down, not because the caravan had quieted down and did not dare to speak loudly, but because there was a rustling of footsteps in the darkness in the distance.
After these days of long travel, the perception of the surrounding environment is better than before, and the slightest wind and grass will immediately wake up, the old man with yellow teeth did not take out the sword, because it is not a monster, but three or five women, three or five women in green shirts and bruises.
The five women, who were supporting each other, came by the light of the camp, and when they reached the ten feet of the caravan, they fell to the ground exhausted, unable to get up again.
Fang Lansheng had already trotted over, and he was happy and worried, because there was a woman he wanted to see, but this woman was too seriously injured and not much different from dead.
"She needs to heal, she needs to rest. β
Fang Lansheng was a little excited, he only said that she but not them, she was very heavy in his heart.
"We don't have a place to rest for the woman. β
Ah Niu said lightly, in fact, there is indeed none, because even the carriage of the young lady in red was sold before entering the desert, they only have healing medicine, and there is no surplus tent, no one will want to let the tent come out to a few people who don't know, not to mention that most of the tents are snoring now.
It doesn't feel good to be woken up from a deep sleep, which will only offend the caravan people, even if they solve a lot of problems for the caravan.
"Go to my tent, I won't sleep tonight. β
The girl in red walked over, she didn't fall asleep, in fact, not much time had passed.
They brought the five women into the young lady's tent, but Ah Niu did not go, because he knew that men and women could not kiss each other.
He was so busy until dawn that he didn't stop, and the wounds of several girls were treated by the old man with yellow teeth, and he seemed to be very experienced with these wounds, and there were no girls in the caravan, because he had never thought that there would be any injuries from the time he set out.
"Saved your life?"
Ah Niu has been waiting outside the tent.
"I saved it, and it finally came in time. β
The yellow-toothed old man casually rubbed his bloodstained hands with yellow sand.
He wasn't a very particular person, otherwise he wouldn't have a big yellow tooth.
"I didn't rest last night, can I still make it today?"
"Yes, sleeping less is not a big deal. But they may not be able to travel, and they must not be left here, because to leave them here is to die. β
"Then what do you say? I listen to you, and the fat boss will definitely listen to you. β
"It's simple. β
The yellow-toothed old man smiled inwardly.
"You are here to accompany them, and when they wake up, they will catch up with us, with you, a second-grade master, you can be more sure of danger." β
