"Brother Battle, Tamerlane, Peng Fei is right. These horses are best left to you, and I believe you can treat them well..."
Zhuang Rui nodded and agreed with Peng Fei. Taking away the leader of this group of wild horses would deprive the horses of their right to live on the grassland. Zhuang Rui did not want to sell these strong horses to horse dealers.
.
And as Peng Fei said, these hundreds of thousands of dollars are really not in Zhuang Rui's eyes. Millions of jadeite and clear jade have been given away. How can he still care about these dozens of horses?
After hearing what Zhuang Rui said, Timur had a brief exchange with Battelle and said, "Okay, Zhuang Rui's answer, then we won't be polite to you. We will accept these horses..."
The genetic bloodline of Mongolian wild horses is far more precious and pure than horses bred in captivity. Timur believed that after joining this batch of wild horses, he and Bater's horse farm would be able to breed better horse breeds, so he accepted Zhuang Rui's gift.
"Haha, that's right, Timur replied, take the horses back and place them, and come back to Beijing with me in a few days..."
Zhuang Rui was very happy to see Timur agree. If these two people refused to take these wild horses, it would be a headache for him, because Zhuang Rui would never sell these horses.
dropped.
"Okay, Zhuang Ruian replied, I won't say thank you, but you, Zhui Feng, have to go back with us, otherwise we won't be able to take these horses away..."
It should be said that Timur only befriended Zhuang Rui because of his bravery, but now he truly regards Zhuang Rui as a sworn brother.
It's not because of Zhuang Rui's gift of horses, but Zhuang Rui's behavior of valuing righteousness over profit, which made these prairie men feel extremely appetizing. Such generous men are rare even among Mongolians.
Even Battle on the side wanted to marry Zhuang Rui.
"Okay, let me explain to Zhui Feng..."
Zhuang Rui walked up to Zhui Feng, pointed at Battle and the others and whispered a few words to Zhui Feng, then turned to look at Timur and said:
"But Timur said, don't put him in a horse pen. This kid has a bad temper..."
This was when Zhuang Rui thought of Zhui Feng's injury, and specially told Timur a few words. Without him by his side, no one would buy Zhui Feng's account.
"I can spare it, Zhuang Ruian said, don't worry, but if it enters the racecourse on its own, it's none of my business..."
Timur laughed loudly when he heard this. He wanted to take Zhui Feng back, not just to tame these wild horses, but because he wanted Zhui Feng to stay at his horse farm for a few days.
If you are lucky, maybe after Zhui Feng leaves, the mare in your horse farm will be pregnant with Zhui Feng's offspring. The inheritance of this bloodline is even more important than the group of wild horses in front of you.
"Lulu..."
With a long hiss from Zhui Feng, the herd of wild horses that had been resting here for a day started running under the leadership of Zhui Feng.
Battle and Timur were very experienced in herding horses. They did not run in front of Zhui Feng, but stayed on either side of the horses, using bamboo poles in their hands to stop them from running back.
If the horse goes astray, let it keep up with the main force.
"Damn, I don't have a horse to ride on?"
After Battle left with the horses, Zhuang Rui was immediately dumbfounded. Ren Chunqiang and Peng Fei followed behind each other, and they were all alone.
Peng Fei laughed loudly when he heard this, turned over and mounted the white horse, and said: "Hey, I went to exchange feelings with the white rabbit, you can stay alone..."
"Go away, give a good horse such a name, can your taste be any lower?"
Zhuang Rui was shocked by the name Peng Fei gave to the white horse, "Damn it, it's a white rabbit? Why don't you add a big character in front? That sounds better."
Peng Fei raised his head and said proudly: "Jealous, Brother Zhuang, you are definitely jealous of me. Brother Ren said that this white rabbit is also one of Qin Shihuang's seven famous horses. It is not much worse than your Zhuifeng...
"
"Okay, get out of here quickly, White Rabbit?"
Zhuang Rui shook his head disapprovingly and waved Peng Fei away. Of course he knew where the horse's name White Rabbit came from, but the name really made Zhuang Rui feel awkward. It is estimated that Qin Shihuang had never seen Lord Rabbit, otherwise no matter what
He would not give his beloved horse such a name.
After Bater and others left, Zhuang Rui devoted all his energy to the research of the Aerzhai Grottoes. He purchased a large amount of rice paper and made rubbings of some precious murals for future research.
Dr. Ren, who has always been obsessed with archeology, has been uncharacteristically uncharacteristic in the past few days. Instead of following Zhuang Rui to the grotto, he spent the whole day hanging out with his bay-red horse, and actually slept on the horse gallery at night like Peng Fei.
When Zhuang Rui inquired about it, he found out that Dr. Ren and Peng Fei had made a bet to see who could return their horses to their hearts first. In this way, the two brothers regarded the two horses as ancestors.
.
This made Zhuang Rui shake his head. It seems that if this nerd is sure of one thing, he may be more fanatical than those suffering from paranoia. However, Ren Chunqiang's academic focus is not on Mongolian culture, and Zhuang Rui did not say much.
What.
…
"Zhuang Rui, the day after tomorrow is our return date. Don't forget, the teacher sent two telegrams in succession..."
Early that morning, when Zhuang Rui was about to enter the grotto, Ren Chunqiang unexpectedly stopped Zhuang Rui.
"Brother Ren, I understand. Aren't they just some Dunhuang documents? Do you think that if Genghis Khan's mausoleum could be found, wouldn't it cause a greater sensation than the discovery of Dunhuang documents?"
Zhuang Rui waved his hand nonchalantly, but he was also very grateful to Professor Meng. In order to prevent them from missing the Dunhuang cultural exchange meeting, Professor Meng did not know where the telegram was sent from, but it was actually sent to dozens of kilometers before and after.
A deserted place.
"Hey, hey, we agreed, and you can't go back on your word..."
After Dr. Ren heard Zhuang Rui's words, he thought he was going to regret it, and he suddenly became anxious. This Dunhuang cultural exchange meeting was actually a commendation meeting. Dr. Ren was not as open-minded about those vested interests as Zhuang Rui.
"Just relax. If nothing is discovered, I will return to Beijing with you the day after tomorrow..."
Zhuang Rui gave Dr. Ren reassurance and said with a smile: "Brother Ren, hurry up and exchange feelings with your red rabbit, otherwise the red rabbit will be defeated by the white rabbit, which will be shameless..."
Speaking of Dr. Ren's naming skills, he is really not that good. Peng Fei's horse is called White Rabbit. He simply named his horse Red Rabbit. How dare he really think of himself as Lu Bu?
"Yes, yes, I haven't walked the horse yet this morning. I'm leaving..."
Ren Chunqiang was convinced by Zhuang Rui's words, but he still didn't believe it. How could he defeat that boy Peng Fei when he taught Chitu about horsemanship?
After sending Ren Chunqiang away, Zhuang Rui climbed to the Alzhai Grotto alone. This time he did not enter the grotto, but went directly to the top of the mountain because... the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes finally recovered.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Zhuang Rui squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling morning sun, then found a rock with his back to the sun and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Let's see what the ancients did for digging caves under that collapsed grotto, right?"
In the past few days, the natural cave under the grotto has been haunting Zhuang Rui, and he has been feeling uneasy. He has refrained from using spiritual energy to explore it, just for this moment today.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Rui slowly closed his eyes. Invisible and colorless spiritual energy surged out from his eyes, instantly filling the cave beneath his feet covering an area of several kilometers.
This time, the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes was very abundant. After careful inspection, he immediately discovered some clues.
That is where the collapsed grotto is the starting point. Every few tens of meters, when the road inside the cave becomes narrow, Zhuang Rui can always find traces of artificial excavation on the side walls, and the inside of the cave will be
The maze-like road has expanded a lot.
Except for these traces, Zhuang Rui did not find any tools used by humans in the cave, which made him a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhuang Rui suddenly became excited.
The discovery of traces of manual excavation indicates that there must be something fishy hidden in the cave. The absence of tools indicates that the construction workers did not want to be noticed by future generations. When these two are combined, the answer is almost ready to be revealed.
"Holy shit, so big?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhuang Rui calmed down and continued to explore along the traces of artificial excavation. What he found below made him a little stunned.
The size of the caves under the Aerzhai Grottoes is far beyond Zhuang Rui's imagination. The caves are not limited to this red sandstone hill, but radiate out in a network, like a spider web.
An underground maze.
Although traces of man-made artifacts can always be found at every distance in the cave, Zhuang Rui was stunned after seven or eight twists and turns in this network maze. For the entire morning, Zhuang Rui was stunned.
Used to find paths.
Zhuang Rui absolutely believed that even if he had the powerful weapon of spiritual energy, he would definitely get lost in it after entering the underground. This was even more dizzying than Zhuge Liang's Bagua array.
"Damn, what a stupid person, why am I wasting my energy? Can't I just spread the spiritual energy and look for objects with spiritual energy?"
When his stomach started growling, Zhuang Rui suddenly woke up.
It seems that I don't need to follow the traces dug by the ancients. As long as I release the spiritual energy, objects within a radius of more than ten miles will be invisible.
