The Milky Way, spanning the sky.

The stars are shining and gather into beautiful patterns.

In the Chen Mansion of Shehong, young lady sat on the eaves, hugged her knees, and stared at the stars in the night sky in a daze.

What exactly does Brother Siezi look like?

Who is he?

The young lady only has very vague memories and can no longer remember many things.

The breeze blows on your body, making you feel very comfortable.

She raised her head and looked at Fanxingdian: Which star belongs to Brother Yizi?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Beim, Cuiyun Peak.

Li Guer walked out of the back door of Taiwei Palace and stood on the platform.

From here, you can see the night view of the Yellow River.

The stars shine, and she sat down next to a huge rock.

With her back against the strange stone, her thoughts no longer knew where they had floated away... In a trance, she seemed to see a vast sea, and Yang Shouwen stood there.

At this moment, are I and Brother Yang under the same starry sky?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Green, green?"

Mingxiu's voice disrupted Yang Shouwen's thoughts.

He came to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw that Mingxiu had already sat up.

Yang Cunzhong and Yang Shiliu also picked up weapons and showed a look of vigilance.

"You are so good that you can keep you vigil, but you are here in a daze."

"What's wrong?"

"There is a situation!"

Yang Shouwen stood up and raised his hand to pick up the Nine-ring Tin Staff in his hand.

He listened with his ears, and with the night wind, he heard a faint sound of camel bells, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.

Someone!

He had just wandered outside the sky, so he didn't pay attention to the movement outside.

Now that he came to his senses, he found that the other party had already arrived near... It was too late to hide! Yang Shouwen's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Mingxiu and the other two. He then put down the nine-ring tin staff and said softly: "Don't pay attention."

"Um?"

"Our current identity is a monk who travels west to seek the Dharma."

Mingxiu took a deep breath and put down the walker stick.

He forgot this... In fact, Yang Shouwen and the other four walked west. It was fine when there were outsiders, but in their hearts, they still could not truly integrate into the identity of monks. However, after Yang Shouwen reminded them, the three of them immediately calmed down. They retreated to the bonfire and looked relaxed, but in fact, they were always vigilant.

Yang Shouwen sat cross-legged on the side, and the nine-ring tin staff was inserted down beside him.

The camel bell sounded closer and closer, and a caravan came from the upstream of the Ming River, that is, the direction of the Daze Feng.

The caravan obviously saw the bonfire here, and stopped immediately.

Immediately afterwards, a man with a guard came on horseback and strangled the reins when he was about twenty steps away from the bonfire.

"Who are you?"

Yang Shouwen opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "My monk came from the East and was ready to go to India to seek Dharma.

Who are you? Why are you still holding weapons while walking late at night? Could it be that you are the bandits who robbed the way?"

The man hurriedly said, "It turned out to be four elders... Elders should not misunderstand. We are a merchant from Langshan, preparing to leave the pass tomorrow, so we are walking late at night. Since the four elders are resting here, we will not disturb you anymore."

After saying that, the man rode back.

He seemed to explain to the caravan people, and the caravan continued to move forward.

However, when passing by the bonfire, the guard ran over again, but this time, he also brought some wine and food.

"I just disturbed the elder's rest. My master felt very embarrassed, so he brought food and asked the elder to accept it with a smile."

As he said that, he put down the food, bowed to Yang Shouwen and the other two, and then got on the horse and left.

The camel bell rang again. It echoed in the night sky and gradually faded away.

Yang Shouwen breathed a long sigh, turned his head and looked at Mingxiu and the other two, then smiled and said, "Okay, the alarm is lifted, let's go to bed."

"Forget it, I'll be on the night watch next."

Mingxiu was a little worried about Yang Shouwen, so she drove him to the campfire.

Fortunately, this is a caravan. If it is a horse thief, they will have a bloody battle tonight and may die here.

Although this place is still under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, it is not safe.

Yang Shouwen and the others have heard a lot of legends about horse thieves as they come over...

Since Mingxiu volunteered, Yang Shouwen was not vague and walked straight to the campfire and lay down in harmony with his clothes.

"Qingzhi, where did you think your righteous brother will go?"

Mingxiu sat not far from Yang Shouwen, and after a quiet moment, he suddenly asked: "Your righteous brother is very strange to disappear. According to you, he is a very cautious person, why didn't he leave us any clues?"

At this time, whether it was Mingxiu, Yang Cunzhong, or Yang Shiliu, he was not sure about the real purpose of this trip.

They only knew that Yang Shouwen came to the Western Regions to find Abusjda.

However, Yang Shouwen did not follow the inner road, but instead took a detour to travel west from the Great Wall, which also made Mingxiu feel a little strange.

However, Mingxiu is a smart person.

He vaguely guessed that Yang Shouwen's purpose of traveling west was not simple, but he did not ask.

Mingxiu knew that when Yang Shouwen should say it, he would definitely say it; if he didn't say it, it would definitely have his own difficulties.

Yang Shouwen said: "I always feel that my eldest brother's disappearance is related to his previous conflict with the border army in Shule Town.

So after thinking about it, after meeting with the third brother, we went to Shule Town to find out the news, and maybe we would gain something."

"Well, I think so too."

Mingxiu bit a piece of grass in her mouth and looked lazy.

No matter how he looked at his lazy temperament, he didn't look like a serious monk.

Yang Shouwen looked at him and shook his head, saying that he could do nothing.

You can't let a guy who has been worshipping since childhood become a qualified monk, right? What's more, Mingxiu was helpless to become a monk. He didn't want to be a monk at all. It was just that when things were about to come, he had no other choice.

"Sleep, wake up."

"I'm much more alert than you."

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he smiled slightly, wrapped the blanket on his body, and closed his eyes.

The night wind is whistling, and the wilderness is lonely.

Occasionally, the roar of wild beasts would come from afar, which seemed so vague, giving people a feeling that was not very real.

I have to pass Yumen Pass tomorrow morning. Go to bed early!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yang Shouwen slept very comfortably this time.

In the early morning, he was awakened by Mingxiu and saw that Yang Cunzhong and Yang Shiliu had already stood up.

The bonfire was also extinguished, and the blue smoke lingered.

Yang Shouwen sat up and stretched.

The rising sun is rising from the horizon.

After Yang Shouwen washed up, he had some breakfast, and then the four of them got on their horses and marched westward with camels.

Nayumen Pass was built during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty and was built around 111 BC.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Huns were warlike and posed a huge threat to the Central Plains. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Huns defeated the Donghu in the east and drove the Dayuezhi in the west. They occupied Hexi. Moreover, the Huns took Hexi as their foundation and repeatedly attacked the border Han territory. Although the Han emperor adopted a policy of marriage in order to exchange for a chance to recuperate, they still could not stop the Huns' greed.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, after the reign of Wen and Jing, the vitality of the Han Dynasty was restored.

Emperor Wu ordered Huo Qubing to lead his troops to fight westward, defeat the right part of the Xiongnu, recaptured the Hexi Corridor, and drove the Xiongnu to the north of Mobei.

Later, Emperor Wu ordered the construction of Yumen Pass and placed it in Dunhuang, which is under the jurisdiction of Guazhou in the Tang Dynasty.

Yumen Pass, also known as Xiaofangpancheng, is the throat pass of the Silk Road to the North Western Regions.

It is located in a Gobi Desert. Guancheng is a square, with a wall of more than three meters high, about ten meters. The entire Guancheng is eight zhang long from east to west and eight zhang five from north to south. It is not very large in area, and has two gates. It is located on the west and north sides.
