The wealthy businessman was from the Western Regions. He heard the words and responded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, general. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the things to you, and I will also tell the people of Khotan that it was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who wiped out the thieves in Maka Mountain."
.”
He nodded, turned to Yao Liqin and said to Yao Liqin, "General Yao, give them some horses, and some dry food and water."
Yao Liqin raised his hand to summon the veterans nearby and arranged for them to go and handle it.
After the wealthy businessmen thanked and left, Yao Liqin said cautiously, "General, this place is not far from Khotan. Since you are old friends with the Duke of Naji, you might as well go and visit. We are here to wait for your return."
He shook his head blankly, "If I don't go, what can I say if I go?"
Seeing Duo Yu's melancholy, Yao Liqin vaguely guessed that this matter might involve the personal relationship between his children, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only go elsewhere and direct the veterans to clean up the battlefield.
Standing on the mountainside and looking to the west, Mr. Hei was also looking to the west beside him.
He stretched out his hand and stroked Young Master Hei's neck. Young Master Hei had walked this road before. As long as he wanted, he could ride on Young Master Hei and go to meet Ni Chenyi at any time. There would be joy in meeting Ni Chenyi again in a foreign land, but what would happen after the joy?
At the second watch, the veterans finished cleaning the battlefield, got on their horses, turned to look west again, and then headed east with the others.
On the way back, his heart was full of sadness. He had been away for a long time. He really wanted to see Ni Chenyi again, and he also had enough reasons to see Ni Chenyi. The Ni family had been blackmailed by the Maka Mountain horse bandits, and he went to visit and inquire.
It was reasonable, but he also knew that this reason was not sufficient, because the masked woman made it very clear that the bandits were only blackmailing the Ni family and did not insult Ni Chenyi. He could not deliberately find someone for himself just because he wanted to see Ni Chenyi.
Reasons, excuses, this is too hypocritical. ??
In addition, the masked woman and these wealthy businessmen from the Western Regions will also meet with the Ni family in the future. Through their stories, the Ni family will also know what he has done for them. He has told the Ni family with practical actions that he is always thinking about Ni.
Everyone in the family, this is enough, there is no need to meet.
Except, everyone else is in a good mood. The reason why they are in a good mood is not that they have obtained a lot of gold and silver from the banditry, but that they are about to return to the Middle Earth and return to their roots.
"General, we have roughly counted the stolen goods in Maka Mountain, about..."
Before Yao Liqin could finish speaking, he interrupted him, "What stolen goods? I don't know, and we have never gone west to suppress bandits."
The fact that Yao Liqin was able to lead everyone to survive in the desert is enough to prove that this person has an extraordinary intelligence. After hearing this, he immediately understood that he wanted them to divide the gold and silver so that they could use it to make a living back home in the future.
Then he shouted to the soldiers, "Remember this, we have never gone west to suppress bandits, nor have we ever obtained stolen gold or silver."
Hearing Yao Liqin's words, all the veterans responded in unison and laughed happily.
Yao Liqin not only understood that he wanted them to divide the gold and silver, but also found out that he did not want the court to know that they had helped Duke Ji. In this way, he became more and more convinced that Khotan was concerned about the country. After hesitating for a long time, he plucked up the courage to say, "General
, We have lived in the Western Region for many years, and it will take us a while to pack our luggage. Why don’t we go back first and you can meet us tomorrow?"
He cast an approving look at Yao Liqin, shook his head at the same time and said, "No need."
Hearing this, Yao Liqin said nothing more. The group of people galloped through the starry night and returned to the city at the fourth watch. At this time, everyone in the city had already packed up. Yao Liqin divided the silver gained from suppressing the bandits. Everyone left the city on horseback or in a car.
Hit the road.
It was blown here by strong winds before, so everyone took a different road to the east this time. Although the ground was full of sand, it was obvious that they were taking the same road, because there was a hard bottom under the sand, and the wheels did not sink.
deep.
Asking Yao Liqin, it turned out that the road everyone was taking was indeed an old road from before. At that time, the area had not been invaded by the desert, and the surrounding area was not as desolate as it is now.
I was eager to return first, but I was worried that there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the group. This place is not far from Khotan. In order to prevent accidents, it was safer to go with everyone for a while.
It was around noon and I was about to leave. I was about to say goodbye to everyone when I suddenly found a woman in white standing on the sand dunes to the north.
At first he thought he was dazzled, but he looked carefully and found that he was not dazzled. There was indeed a woman in white clothes standing on the sand dune five miles due north. The clothes this person wore did not resemble the clothes of a barbarian, nor did they look very similar.
It's like the clothes worn by people in the Tang Dynasty. Due to the distance and the wind blowing, the woman's long hair covered her face, so she couldn't see her face clearly.
Just as he frowned and looked north, Yao Liqin on the side whispered, "General, don't look at it."
"It?" I was confused. At this time, he and she had different pronunciations. Yao Liqin used it instead of her.
"It's not a human being." Yao Liqin's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of the woman in white.
"How do you know she's not human?" she asked curiously.
"It looked like this thirty years ago, and its appearance has not changed over the years. If it were a mortal, how could it not age?" Yao Liqin said.
He didn't ask any more questions, but pinched his fingers and recited the mantra silently, hoping to open his eyes.
"General, do you know magic?" Yao Liqin asked eagerly. Without waiting for a reply, he said anxiously, "You must never cast magic. It can sense and detect it. Many Taoist priests and monks have died at its hands over the years."
Seeing Yao Liqin's solemn expression, he did not continue the practice, nor did he look at the woman from a distance. Instead, he looked back and whispered, "What's going on?"
Yao Liqin whispered, "Back to the general, this monster has a very weird temperament. It has many magical powers, both good and evil. The sand dune it is standing on was originally a tomb, and it lives in that tomb. Anyone who comes close to it will
If it touches a tomb, it will go on a rampage and kill people. It is not necessarily bad to say that it is bad, but it will also come to the rescue of a merchant who is in danger of death."
"What kind of monster is it?" He turned around and searched for the string of blood spirit beads. Everyone, including Song Cai, said that the blood spirit beads can channel spirits and see ghosts. This thing lives in a tomb and is probably a ghost object.
"I don't know," Yao Liqin shook his head and said, "But I once heard someone say that there are countless gold treasures hidden in the tombs, and this monster is guarding the gold treasures."
At this time, I have taken the Blood Spirit Pearl in my hand, but the woman in white in the distance is still the woman in white and has not changed into anything else. This shows that it is not a ghost object, and it is noon at this time, and there are no ghosts.
It is very likely that it will appear from this time.
Yao Liqin seemed to be afraid of doing anything rashly, and said again, "General, please don't get close to it, and don't look at it. This monster knows magic, can make wind and rain, fly sand and move rocks. Mortals like us are no match for it."
He was already confused, but after hearing what Yao Liqin said, he became more and more curious. He tilted his head and took a peek again. At this time, the woman in white was still standing on the sand dune. As the angle changed, he could vaguely see the appearance of the woman in white. She was also quite tall.
He is good-looking and has a Han Chinese appearance. His age is probably between thirty and forty years old, not very young, but not old either.
"You just said it killed many Taoist monks. What's going on?" asked.
Yao Liqin replied, "Back to General, before this place was buried in the desert, it was a road. Occasionally, wandering monks and wandering Taoists passed by. They found out that it was a monster, so they tried to slay it, but without exception, it failed.
They were all killed by it.”
Yao Liqin finished speaking and didn't ask any more questions. He already knew the magic of Longhu Mountain, but he was so anxious this time that he didn't ask any questions.
Yao Liqin was so nervous when there were magical objects and talismans around him, which showed that these things were indeed very dangerous. It is better to do less than to do more in a foreign country. The situation is unknown, so it is better not to cause trouble.
Just when I made up my mind not to cause trouble, I never thought that the woman in white in the distance actually left the sand dune and floated towards everyone.
Seeing this situation, Yao Liqin's expression changed greatly, and he suddenly frowned. When the woman in white moved, her feet lifted off the ground and floated straight south. Moreover, she did not activate her spiritual energy when she moved. Without her spiritual energy, there would be no movement.
The complexion is revealed, so it is impossible to confirm what it is.
But one thing is certain, that is, the cultivation level of this object has exceeded the scope of purple energy. The purple energy master's flying in the sky is gliding, but the woman in white is actually drifting. If it weren't for the blue sky and white sun,
, everyone must have thought they saw a ghost.
Seeing the woman in white floating towards everyone on our side, everyone on our side showed fear. These veterans have experienced hundreds of battles and are not afraid of death, but they will still feel nervous and frightened when facing an enemy that is not a human being.
After a brief pause, he jumped up and flew northward.
"General." Yao Liqin shouted loudly, reining in his horse and trying to catch up.
"Keep going, don't come over." He ordered in a deep voice.
Use the body method to greet the woman in white, and at the same time recite the incantation again, pinch the finger tips, and open the heavenly eye. The so-called heavenly eye is actually the yin eye. Living people are yang, and they can only see yang things. Taoists and monks can use the mantra to speak
By opening the Heavenly Eye and Dharma Eye, you can see other things besides Yang things.
After opening the Heavenly Eye, the woman in white is still the woman in white, but there is a faint white light lingering around her body.
This vision made people even more confused. It was certain that the woman in white was not a human being, but she did not look like a monster either, because the aura of monsters was all black.
When he was a hundred feet away from the woman in white, he stopped. The woman in white was obviously coming towards him and floated straight towards him.
Holding the handle of the knife in his hand, he looked at the woman in white with concentration and vigilance.
However, as the distance approached, he found that there was no hostility in the eyes of the woman in white, but only shock and excitement.
After a while, the woman in white came forward, three steps away, tilted her head slightly, and looked sideways.
The other party did not speak or open his mouth. The other party looked at him, and he also observed the other party.
After a brief look at each other, the woman in white spoke, "You are finally here..."
