"Captain Luo, this is a dividing line that was drawn by the Manggu Demon Niu, the Master Ziyang of the Tianlan Sect. The vast mountain range to the north belongs to the territory of the Manggu Demon Niu. Practitioners are not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise
You are responsible for the consequences, and this area to the south is the scope of our activities. The Manggu Demon Bull is not allowed to cross the boundary, otherwise he will be backlashed by his oath!"
"Is the oath really binding?" Luo Xing muttered.
"Captain Luo, please don't say that. Swear in the name of the spiritual god. It is very effective. If some people don't believe it, God will directly send down punishment. The ending will be miserable..."
"Mr. Jiang, please continue."
"This Manggu Bull Demon, who calls himself the Bull Lord of the World, is extremely arrogant. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Lord Ziyang a hundred years ago, he has become much more honest. Although he has appeared occasionally in the past hundred years, he has not done many evil deeds."
"Doesn't this line restrict the Manggu Bull Demon to Funiu Mountain?" Luo Xing looked at the red line on the map and asked in surprise.
"Captain Luo is so smart. You can see this. Venerable Ziyang used this method to trap the Manggu Demon Ox. It can go north, but it cannot go south. Once it goes south, it will cross the line. This
Although this line is drawn in the Funiu Mountains, it is valid within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty is basically to the south of this line." Jiang Jingzhao introduced with a smile.
Luo Xing smiled and said: "It is indeed a cow. Even if it is born with wisdom, it still cannot compare with us people."
"That's Venerable Ziyang. Another person probably wouldn't be able to subdue this demonic cow!" Jiang Jingzhao's face showed a trace of fanatical reverence.
I don’t even know if the old guy from more than a hundred years ago is still alive or not. It is estimated that once Venerable Ziyang passed away, this so-called spiritual oath may have lost its binding force on the Manggu Bull Demon.
Luo Xing didn't believe that any oath was useful at all, and in the end, strength spoke for itself. Lord Ziyang was still alive, and the Manggu Demon Bull didn't dare to move.
People are living happily on their own one-third of an acre of land, and maybe they don't know how many beautiful heifers are playing with them.
The human world is very dangerous.
"Here is the Xieyang Valley. This is a grand canyon with a length of thirty kilometers. The valley is bottomless, but it is said that there is rapid water below. Even in the severe cold winter, the water will not stop. Half of it is at the red line.
Within the area, half are outside the red line, but based on the movements of His Highness we received, they are probably heading towards the Valley of the Setting Sun!"
"Mr. Jiang, how long does it take to get to Xianyang Valley from our side?"
"There is an official road to the south of Funiu Mountain, leading directly to Yumen Pass. This is a military road, but the mountain is blocked by heavy snow at the moment. In addition to transporting army supplies, there are generally not many people walking on it, but it is certain that they can walk, but it is smaller than usual.
It's a little slower, and after leaving the official road, it's all mountain trails. Some places still need to climb. A walking horse will definitely not be able to do it, but there is a mule that walks in the mountains, but it can't go very far.
It's far, but it can save some time. I suggest you change your mules directly here instead of waiting until you get there, because you may not be able to find one to change." Jiang Jingzhao suggested.
"Yes, but we must conserve our strength. Wouldn't it be better if we could get two cars for us? If we really can't leave, we can store it directly or give it to Director Jiang's people to bring back?"
"This is a way." Jiang Jingzhao nodded, "Liang Guochunlang will be our guide on this trip. If Captain Luo doesn't understand anything, you can ask him directly."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang."
After lunch, Luo Xing and his party ate again and changed to a carriage, which was a modified grain delivery truck used by the military.
It's quite sturdy and reliable, but the comfort is much worse, but it's still better than walking on the soles of your feet.
Then the seven people divided into two cars, followed by four mules carrying part of the supplies they carried, plus two driver drivers, both from the Jinzhou Division, and set off on the road.
Luo Xing, Hu Sanniang and Liang Guochun were in the same car. If you want to ask anything, you can ask at any time. The other four people were in the car behind.
It's just difficult for Duan Tieniu. Yang Yingchun and the Lu brothers are enemies. They just recognized a master and stopped fighting.
Of course, although Yang Yingchun's injury was not completely healed, the Lu brothers did not dare to take action easily. After all, they had suffered a loss and been beaten before.
This special balance allows everyone to maintain restraint and live in peace, with no one paying attention to anyone else.
After walking for less than half a day, the flat road began to become bumpy. Although this was a military road, the Yumen Pass in the north had not experienced war for more than ten years. The court spent a lot of money, and the maintenance of the military road was not so good.
Be diligent.
The military road has been in disrepair for a long time, so naturally it is not so smooth. If it were not a special grain transport truck, it would be really impossible for ordinary carriages to travel on this road.
Even so, Luo Xing and his party were still in a state of shock. If they weren't all skilled in martial arts, they would have been so sick that they vomited even the gall water.
"Captain Luo, I know there is a town ahead. We can rest in the town for one night and leave early this morning."
"How far is it?"
"It's less than twenty miles," Liang Guochun explained.
"Okay, Mr. Liang is the guide, so naturally he wants to listen, so let's go there." Luo Xing nodded and agreed to Liang Guochun's suggestion.
Liang Guochun was right, there was indeed a small town here, but after dark, every house was closed.
There is no inn in the town, but there is an inn, which allows them to rest for a night. They are all officials.
This kind of inn does not require payment for rest and accommodation, and it also provides food and various services. However, the inn in remote areas can provide limited things. Except for firewood and rooms, which are ready-made, they do not have other Luoxing.
need.
In Jinzhou City, Duan Tieniu bought a lot of mountain delicacies and bacon, which he just needed. Now that he is in the mountains, there are no such good conditions.
So after working hard for an hour, we prepared a sumptuous dinner. In this cold weather, strong wine was naturally indispensable.
After drinking and eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. There was no one living in the inn, and there was only one room for each person, so there was no problem at all.
Liang Guochun ran over to discuss with Luo Xing, saying that he should leave the carriage at the inn and leave it to the two grooms to take care of it. They would still need it when they came back anyway.
Luo Xing agreed.
But he has a question, that is, where are Ye Liuli and the others' mounts? Since the mountain road is not easy to walk, they should be very good at leaving their mounts behind.
"General Liang Lang, is this town the only way to go to Xianyang Valley?" Luo Xing asked curiously.
"Yes."
"The people from the Inspection Department are in front of us, why didn't they spend the night in this town?" Luo Xing felt strange.
"I don't know about this. Maybe they don't want us to know their whereabouts." Liang Guochun said, "Maybe they set off earlier than us and walked to the front?"
"Um."
Liang Guochun came out of Luo Xing's room. After a while, Hu Sanniang knocked on the door and entered.
"Third Master, we will enter the depths of the Funiu Mountains tomorrow. We have to determine the walking route according to our own ideas." Luo Xing said solemnly.
"Do you doubt Liang Guochun?" Hu Sanniang was so sharp that she immediately guessed what Luo Xing was thinking.
"During this journey, we couldn't find any trace of the inspection team. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Well, since we entered Jinzhou City, the whereabouts of the inspection department and others seemed to have disappeared." Hu Sanniang nodded.
"They may not be taking the same route as us, or they may be broken up into parts to prevent us from knowing their whereabouts."
"We have the same purpose as them. Is it necessary to guard against us like we guard against thieves?"
"Perhaps in the eyes of Tianlan Sect, we are actually almost like thieves." Hu Sanniang said with a smile.
It is not a secret that Tianlan Sect and the imperial court are not of the same mind. No holy place is willing to abide by the rules set by the imperial court. This is not difficult to understand at all.
"Next, I will keep an eye on him for you. If there is any movement, I will take it down immediately!" Hu Sanniang said.
"Well, thank you for your help, Third Master." Luo Xing thanked her hurriedly.
"You should rest early. Yang Yingchun, you should always be careful." Hu Sanniang reminded her and immediately went back to her room to rest.
Sit cross-legged and meditate, continue to polish your cultivation, and strive for an early breakthrough.
"Luo Xiaoqi, this Demon Sect's Jade Blood Tide Generating Technique is indeed powerful, but it is still far behind the 'Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit' method I gave you. For you, you only need to understand this method. No.
It is necessary to practice, but you can learn its blood-burning method that stimulates potential in a short period of time, and you can save your life if necessary." Black Bell Ling's voice sounded in Luo Xing's mind.
"Can it be improved?"
"It's not necessary. If you change it, it won't have the effect." Hei Zhongling gave the answer.
"Okay, let's do it then." Luo Xing said, "I have to seize the time to practice. Every strength I gain is worth it."
"Well, come on, I hope you will break through to the first level as soon as possible, and even become extraordinary." Hei Zhongling actually expressed a rare encouragement to him.
Transitioned?
Luo Xing didn't think much about it. Anyway, she and he were symbiotic and prosperous, so there was nothing to worry about.
The third round of Dzogchen is getting closer and closer, just a little bit away. Luo Xing knows very well that haste makes waste.
Stop practicing, lie down and close your eyes, preparing to take a nap. Once you enter the depths of the Funiu Mountains, you may not have such good conditions for rest.
When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw that it was still gray outside the window. In winter, the day would get bright later, but if it were summer, it would be bright outside by now.
Get up and help Duan Tieniu make breakfast together. After everyone wakes up one after another, they will have breakfast after washing up.
After checking the equipment, set off again.
Follow Ye Liuli's route into the mountain, staying impartial.
Finally, after dark, they came to a village, a village that could not be found on the map, a village deep in the Funiu Mountains.
Along the way, I saw almost no human beings, but here I actually saw a complete village?
Isn't this a very strange thing? It's still a place where ferocious beasts roam. Isn't this a very strange thing?
"Captain Luo, Master Hu, this village is called 'Lixia'. His Highness Liuli mentioned it in the Eagle Letter, but why doesn't anyone seem to be there..." Liang Guochun said.
