Zhang Yuelu was a resolute person. After resting for a night at Bishan Temple, he set off directly the next morning.
The sixty soldiers were divided into two groups, forty followed Zhang Yuelu to Wugoshanli, and twenty went to the Daxue Mountain Palace.
The weather in the Western Region is somewhat fickle. When everyone left Bishan Temple, the sky was still gloomy, with scattered snow particles mixed in the wind. But at noon, the weather turned sunny, and we walked about a hundred miles west.
After the journey, the snow on the road had disappeared, and it seemed that they had finally walked out of the snowy area.
When they came to a high slope, everyone stopped and took a rest. Zhang Yuelu took out his telescope, observed the terrain in the distance, and compared it with the map in his hand.
Qi Xuansu took out a piece of dried meat from his saddle bag, put it in his mouth, chewed it hard, and then drank another sip of cold water.
In this environment, dried meat and dry food are no better than stones.
He still had a few "marching pills" on him, but he was a little worried about Taiping Qian, and since he was just on the road now, he preferred to use these ordinary foods to restore his physical strength.
When it comes to eating, we have to mention warriors and alchemists. Warriors are good at "eating" and alchemists are good at "sleeping".
Because the martial artist does not move around the sky, does not absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, and cannot obtain "supplies" directly from "heaven and earth" like a Qi practitioner, so the martial artist can only supplement what he needs to maintain himself through food and medicinal materials, which can be said to be eaten while practicing martial arts.
, you have to eat to recuperate, one person can eat as much as a dozen ordinary people, and martial arts are the only inheritance that cannot practice the art of Big Grain, which makes it impossible for poor people to take the path of martial arts.
Alchemists are good at "sleeping", which means that alchemists often fall asleep, or their souls wander, or they visualize in dreams. After falling asleep, their bodies are like rotten wood, like corpses. If they are seriously injured, alchemists often choose to fall into a deep sleep to recover from the injury.
Completely opposite to the warrior who relies on eating a lot to recover from his injuries.
As an inheritance that combines the strengths and weaknesses of each family, Sanren are not as extreme as martial artists and alchemists, but eating more and sleeping more are still beneficial to themselves.
Qi Xuansu swallowed the cold and hard dried meat into his belly with difficulty. Zhang Yuelu also checked the terrain, put away the telescope and map, shook the reins, and continued moving forward.
Others followed closely behind.
Forty horsemen rushed down the high slope, their cloaks fluttering in the wind, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled.
The group of people ran for more than half an hour, and gradually the crowds became visible. It was no longer desolate as before, and the road became smoother.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly stopped his horse, with purple energy flowing in his eyes.
Everyone also stopped their horses, including Qi Xuansu, who were a little puzzled. Only Lingquanzi, who was also at the stage of returning to his true nature, noticed it.
Not long after, a muscular figure appeared in everyone's field of vision, seemingly running for his life in a hurry. Short video
After a moment, dozens more figures jumped out. These people did not ride horses, but ran on their legs. The rabbits were rising and the falcons were falling. It was really beautiful.
The man who fled obviously had the intention of diverting trouble to the east, and rushed straight towards the Taoist people.
The people who were chasing this man also saw the more than forty people who had stopped their horses and were somewhat surprised and confused. They didn't look like horse thieves, let alone a caravan.
But at this time, they didn't care so much anymore. After a slight hesitation and a pause, they rushed forward one after another.
Zhang Yuelu frowned slightly, and Zhou Bai, the most experienced man, stepped forward on horseback. Luck shouted loudly: "Taomen Tiangang Hall is doing business, and the rest of the people are waiting to stay away!"
It has to be said that a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. After Zhou Bai reported his name, everyone who came in a hurry immediately stopped and did not dare to take a step forward.
The man who was running for his life was rushing forward too hard and could not hold his feet. He originally wanted to jump over everyone's heads, but when he heard the word "Taomen", he changed to sliding and kneeling with his knees on the ground.
The plow left two marks more than ten feet long and stopped just in front of Zhang Yuelu's horse.
Although this place is no longer within the territory of Xizhou, it is within the jurisdiction of the Western Region Taoist Government, and they do not dare to provoke the Taoist sect.
Zhang Yuelu leaned over slightly, glanced at this person, and said calmly: "Our Taoist sect is not a court, and we don't tolerate this kind of kneeling ceremony."
This man is a short old man with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, and a big rosacea nose. He is a bit funny. After hearing this, he said: "I have always admired Taoism, and I couldn't help myself for a while."
Zhang Yuelu said expressionlessly: "We are Tiangang Hall, specializing in arresting people and killing people. If you want to express your respect for the Taoist sect, you can go to the ancestral temple. Of course, before you see the door of the ancestral temple, you
You have to pass the Beichen Hall level first."
The man suddenly trembled and did not dare to say any more.
Zhang Yuelu said: "Get up and answer."
He climbed up from the ground in a dignified manner, patted the soil on his knees, and saluted like a Taoist: "Shangguandun, the villain, pays homage to the Tiangang Hall..."
Qi Xuansu promptly reminded: "Master."
Shangguan Dun trembled, as if he was startled, but he continued to salute and said: "Meet Master Tiangangtang!"
Shangguan Dun almost shouted the last half of his sentence at the top of his lungs, so those who were chasing him could hear it clearly. The people of Tiangang Hall, and such a young mage, even a fool knew that this was a Taoist disciple.
A lot of people with heads say no
There was a real person or a real person in Ding's house, and they all started to think about retreating. Although they didn't dare to turn around and run away, they started to move backward without leaving a trace.
Zhang Yuelu had no intention of stopping them and just waved his hand.
Someone shouted, and everyone turned around and ran away, disappearing in an instant.
When Qi Xuansu saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was really easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Taking advantage of one's power to "bully" someone and being bullied with one's power are two completely different feelings. ??
Zhang Yuelu suddenly waved to Qi Xuansu: "Deacon Qi."
Qi Xuansu hurriedly rode forward.
Zhang Yuelu said softly: "We still need a guide. I'm afraid this person will fool us, so you go and ask for directions."
Qi Xuansu immediately understood Zhang Yuelu's intention and also whispered: "I didn't expect the deputy hall master to know the slang of the world."
"You don't understand." Zhang Yuelu said, "Go quickly, we will wait for you in front. If it is suitable, bring him over. If it is not suitable, there is no need to embarrass him."
"Okay." Qi Xuansu nodded.
Zhang Yuelu flicked his riding whip, bypassed this person, and continued moving forward.
The rest of the people followed Zhang Yuelu, with the sound of horse hooves rumbling.
Only Qi Xuansu on the horse and Shangguan Dun standing on the ground were left, big eyes facing small eyes.
Qi Xuansu smiled: "Hewu, Yang Mianman is a friend on this line of Wu Geshanli?"
Shangguan Dun's expression hardened, because this was a slang in the world.
"Hewu" means that we are all from the same camp, "Yang Mian Man" is his surname "Shangguan", and "online friends" means local snakes. The general meaning of the whole sentence is: everyone is from the same camp,
Is Brother Shangguan a local snake in the Wugoshanli area?
In Shangguan Dun's view, the young mage just now was taller than him, but he didn't know the ways in the mud of the world, but this young man was obviously well versed in the mysteries and was not easy to fool.
"It's not like opening a mountain and setting up a cabinet, I'm just an old man." Shangguan Dun said solemnly, "Forgive me for not being too late, but please give me a report."
"Kaishanlicai" means to create a foundation. To open a mountain and establish a cabinet somewhere is to take a certain place as the territory. Kaishan is the founder, and the leader is also called the shopkeeper. "Laoyue" means a person who cheats a lot.
"Zi Bu Fa" means that the eyes are not bright, and "Zai Ge Man" means to give one's name.
Qi Xuansu said: "The tip of the game is like an eagle's claw. It floats in the air, always in the sun direction, and rarely on the line."
"Hua Ba" is a Taoist; "Jianju Hua Ba" is a true Taoist; "Eagle Claw" generally refers to people such as policemen, officers and soldiers, and Qingluan Guards; "Floating in the Air" is
The meaning of the flag is fluttering in the air. "Qi" is homophonic to "Qi"; "Yang Xiang" means the rising sun, which generally refers to the South Road, South Road and South; "Shangxian" means in this area.
Qi Xuansu means: I am a real Taoist disciple, I work in Tiangang Hall, my surname is Qi, I often move around in the south, and I rarely go to this area.
Shangguan Dun cupped his fists and said, "It turns out we are friends with the Chinese character for Yang Xiang."
The meaning is very simple, it turned out to be friends from the rivers and lakes in the south.
Qi Xuansu said: "Easy to say."
Shangguan hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Find a group of people who are sexy."
"Se Tang Dian" means outsiders, that is, foreigners who do not belong to Daxuan.
Shangguan Dun looked hesitant and asked, "Jie Liangzi?"
"Jie Liangzi" means making enemies.
Qi Xuansu said: "The water overflowed and thirteen pieces were broken into pieces. The meaning above is all clear."
"The water is overflowing" means to kill someone, "to be broken" means to be dead, and "to be clear" means to kill the opponent.
Putting it all together, it means: This group of people came directly to kill us, and thirteen of our people died. The higher-ups meant to kill all of this group of people, leaving no one alive.
Shangguan suddenly asked: "An take off your hat?"
"An takes off his hat" is actually an anagram. The word "安" takes off his hat, which means "female".
Qi Xuansu said: "Somersault."
"Somersault" comes from the northern dialect, "somersault", also called "Zhang Gelu", so "somersault" refers to the surname Zhang.
Shangguan immediately understood Zhang Yuelu's origins and said, "No wonder."
Shangguan said again: "That's great."
It means that he is an expert and a veteran, which means he recognizes Qi Xuansu's status as a veteran in the world. Don't underestimate anyone. The implication is that he neither knows nor dares to deliberately fool him.
Qi Xuansu stopped using slang and said directly: "Let's open the skylight and speak openly. Brother, I want to ask my brother for a favor. If I am willing to help, I will not lose the benefits of my brother."
Shangguan Dun waved his hand and said, "If you want to kill anyone, I don't dare."
Qi Xuansu said: "We will do the killing. You just have to lead the way. No matter whether it succeeds or not, you will be given two hundred Taiping. If it succeeds, you will receive an additional three hundred Taiping."
Shangguan Dun's eyes lit up: "Five hundred Taiping coins, this is a business."
Jianghu people make a living by keeping their heads in their belts. It doesn't matter whether they are afraid or not, it just depends on whether they have enough money. As long as they have enough money, I will not be afraid either.
