"There is a divine horse in (Tian) Mountain, which can travel thousands of miles in a day. If you find it, you can return to Bashui County in three to five days."
In the dream, an invisible god told me.
After waking up, I found a simple map drawn under my feet, pointing to the mountain in my dream.
Huang Shao didn't know what happened to the tiger demon he met that day, and he didn't have the heart to think about it.
Because the Miao County and Yuanzhou armies were outflanking them, they were about to attack Bashui County.
He must rush back as soon as possible and find Jun'er whether he is alive or dead.
Without any hesitation, he stood up and immediately ran towards the mountain.
After walking through mountains and rivers for a whole day, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain in the evening.
As soon as we arrived at the mountain, we saw herds of wild horses galloping around.
Among the horses, a strange horse that was all red and different from its own kind was extremely fast, far behind the other wild horses.
"The divine horse!" Huang Shao rushed forward in a hurry, but in an instant he lost sight of the red divine horse. The horse came and went without a trace like a gust of wind.
"How can you catch it at such a fast speed? How can you tame it?" Huang Shao's face looked a little ugly, but he did not dare to waste time and chased in the direction where the red light disappeared.
When he finally found it, the red horse noticed someone and turned into red light again and disappeared.
Several times in succession, as the sun was about to set, Huang Shao knelt down on the grass tiredly, at a loss.
He hadn't eaten anything all day long and was hungry. Then he chased the red horse for so long that he really couldn't run anymore.
While he was lying on the grass, the red horse appeared not far away again, a mile away from the other wild horses, grazing leisurely.
His thoughts drove Huang Shao to stand up and run towards the red horse, but in the next second, it disappeared from sight.
"Plop!" Huang Shao fell on his back, looking at the blue sky and gasping for breath.
Faith told him that he must catch the red divine horse, but reality struck mercilessly, making him clearly understand that he could not catch up.
"God, what should I do?" In desperation, he looked at the sky for help.
But the gods didn't respond.
The speed of the divine horse is extraordinary. Ordinary people cannot even catch up with the wild horse, not to mention that it can travel thousands of miles a day. When it runs, it is like a red light and cannot be seen clearly.
Wanting to run and catch up is a complete dream.
Lying in the grass, the red horse reappeared after a while and continued to eat grass nearby.
This time Huang Shao was not impulsive and even observed silently without moving, constantly calculating in his mind.
His eyes kept scanning the red horse, observing its every move.
Although the red horse was running around, Huang Shao soon discovered that its range of activities was fixed. No matter how far it ran, it would eventually return to the same place.
This gave him a plan, and he quietly turned around and headed to the nearby woods, where he chopped a large number of vines with a knife and made them into ropes, then ran back and charged towards the red horse.
The horse was frightened and turned around, turning into a red light and disappearing without a trace.
Huang Shao did not chase this time. Instead, he used the green dragon knife to dig a hole where the red divine horse had been, just enough for the horse's legs to step into it.
The vines are then placed in the pit, hidden in a slipknot, and covered with a layer of weeds.
Stretch the vine over, tie the other end to the root of the big tree next to it, pull it hard a few times to make sure it is strong, then get into the grass next to it and wait.
After a while, the red horse came back and walked to the previous position again.
Its front feet just stepped into the hole, and it sank instantly. The slipknot of the vines activated and tied the horse's legs.
Huang Shao rushed out excitedly and rushed towards the red horse.
The vines broke under the struggle of the red horse.
With a "boom" sound, the red horse turned around and fled with a long vine that turned into red light.
Huang Shao didn't expect this ending, and it was a bit hard to accept, so he chased after it desperately.
I thought I would never be able to catch up, but I didn't expect that after a few miles of pursuit, when it was almost dark, the sound of wild horses neighing suddenly came from ahead.
He quickened his pace and rushed forward, only to see that the red horse fell down a small slope for some reason. Because the vines binding its front legs were caught by branches, it fell into a naturally formed pit and was trying hard to jump out.
However, due to the restrictions of the vines on his feet, he could not escape for a while, so he could only twist and struggle desperately.
How could you miss such a good opportunity?
Huang Shao rushed over with all his strength, jumped into the pit, and landed on the back of the red horse. He hugged its neck with both hands, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and pressed tightly against it.
The red divine horse was not happy and struggled even more fiercely. During this period, Huang Shao continuously hit the hard soil in the pit. The force was not small and he was seriously injured, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
But in order to go back smoothly, Huang Shao gritted his teeth and endured the pain. No matter how brutally the red horse hit him, no matter how painful he was after being hit, and even felt that several bones were broken, he still held on tightly.
The red horse finally broke through the vines and jumped out of the pit.
It desperately tried to get rid of Huang Shao on its back, but the latter hugged the horse's neck tightly and refused to let go.
The red divine horse ran and jumped wildly in the night, almost throwing Huang Shao off again and again.
As a result, Huang Shao relied on his willpower to persevere and wrapped around the red horse again.
The red light ran back and forth countless times around the mountain. When Huang Shao could no longer hold on and his consciousness became a little blurry, he finally stopped and stopped struggling.
When the red divine horse stopped, Huang Shao exhausted all his strength and finally slipped off it, fell on his back on the grass and gradually lost consciousness...
Heavenly Palace.
"Are you just looking at me like this?" Min Wenwen turned to ask Yue Lang.
"Yes! I've done everything I need to do." Yue Lang nodded calmly.
"You obviously didn't interfere much. The other party was in control of the situation the whole time." Liu Jing said, "Just deal with it casually. You didn't even think about winning, right? If we really use our full strength, we will have the advantage. Everything in this world
Aren’t we the ones who have the final say?”
"It's not necessary, as I said." Yue Lang said with a smile, "The real purpose of betting against him is not the outcome of the game, but the people's hearts!"
"People's hearts? Isn't it still part of the gambling game?"
"You don't understand," Yue Lang smiled slightly, "In short, whether I win or lose the bet, I have control over it, so there is no need to worry. Besides, even if I don't intervene in this bet, the final result will still be the same. The friendship between Huang Shao and Diao Jun,
It’s not that easy to destroy.”
"But when it comes to money, power and women, even the strongest friendship will be shaken."
"I admit it," Yue Lang nodded, "On the surface it is true, but there are many factors that will affect this result."
"What's the meaning?"
"Both you and the person who bet against me have only seen the surface." Yue Lang said, "The superficial advantage does not mean that he is at a real advantage. Any small change may make him lose his own power."
I thought the perfect layout was ruined!”
"I don't understand..." Liu Jing, Min Wenwen, and Yuanjun looked at each other.
