Yun Zhong slept comfortably, but the leader and Lao Sanjin, who were at the front of the caravan, had not slept soundly for several days. Especially the fat master's eyes were a little purple. It was obvious that he had not slept for several days and was haggard. Lao Sanjin relied on his years of martial arts training and could barely hold on. After all, there was a bandit disaster in the forest. , You can't discuss it with others, wait until tomorrow when you have had enough sleep before doing anything, so your energy is not bad.
"Master, you have to think carefully, how much charm does it have? In my opinion, there is no such coincidence in the world. Most of it is because you are scaring yourself." Although Lao Sanjin also has some charms of his own. He had trouble sleeping and eating, but he was still merciless. If he caught the fat man, he would be ridiculed.
The head of the house didn't have the intention to talk nonsense with him. He raised his eyelids with some effort and looked towards the mountains with continuous ups and downs in the distance, his eyebrows raised.
"I don't want to believe it, but apart from the body shape, the facial features are indeed extremely blurry, but the aura and charm are seven to eight points, which I have to believe. Besides, brother, we have met that young man together. His sword, regardless of his talent level, can someone who can teach such a disciple be an ordinary person?"
The leader was a little tired, so he closed his eyes to rest, and continued, "You and I are natives of Qiling. Apart from arrest warrants, why has the government posted notices everywhere to look for people? I'm afraid the person who posted the notice is probably in the imperial court." High. It is easy to imagine that someone who can be related to the nobles in the court has a big start."
"But since you have received someone's money, you can't just throw that young man on the road just because of the slightest suspicion, right? The rules of the world are so easy to break. If you really want to act like this, how can you and I still be in Qiling Trading Company in the future? Is he in trouble? Besides, the young man's temperament seems a bit reckless at first, but the more he looks at it, the more he feels that he is quite satisfactory." Lao Sanjin didn't care about the fat man's hesitancy, so he put on his clothes and leaned against the side of the carriage. Take a nap.
After all, he was getting older, and being unable to sleep at night for several days in a row really made him feel bored, so he simply put these trivial matters behind him and slept soundly.
The head of the house kept smiling bitterly, looking at Lao Sanjin's sloppy sleeping appearance, he was also a little sleepy.
In his view, let alone saying that one cannot help oneself, one cannot help oneself everywhere. As early as more than ten years ago, when he was still a scholar, he understood this truth, but he still did not believe in evil. He forced himself to write the book on his body in commoner clothes several times, but every time it came to nothing.
A few months later, among his more than ten letters, three of them were almost untouched. The Emperor of Qi praised him so much that he even shouted three times in the court hall, causing shock in the court.
However, his name was not mentioned in these three admonitions. The people who wrote the admonitions were all the same minister.
When he was full of anger, he went to a Buddhist temple to offer incense and asked an old monk for guidance. The old monk said that the benefactor was too obsessed with it. Although the fame was not attributed to the benefactor, it was still a good thing for the country and the people. But after the conversation, the scholar just smiled, without any gleam in his eyes.
He said, in the heart of the master, is it just for the prosperity of Buddhism and to support the Buddha with one's body? That being the case, if the court officials do not repair the temples and the people who offer incense and worship do not pay for the incense, will the master still be willing to use his body to support the Buddha?
The old monk thought for a moment and said, "The poor monk is willing."
The scholar said that I am not a Buddhist believer, so I don’t understand why the master is willing. All I know is that my painstaking efforts have been stolen and used to gain fame. I don’t want to set foot in the imperial palace like this again.
Therefore, Qiling lost a high-spirited young scholar, but gained a caravan leader who acted strictly and rarely neglected his duties.
As the saying goes, if you cannot control your mind, you will certainly not be able to control your body.
But if you want to do it from your heart, there are always people who don't agree.
The head of the house laughed silently and fell asleep.
Although the caravan's journey was not fast, it took a long time to travel, and it gradually arrived at the southwest of Qiling.
The weather in the southwest of Qiling gradually became a bit like that in the north of Yizhang Kingdom. The sky scenery became more and more intense. The sun might have been shining brightly for a long time, but in a short while, black clouds rolled in, and a torrential rain fell. , it is overwhelming and inevitable.
Steep mountains and deserts are gradually replaced by towering vegetation, giving the place a desolate and atmospheric feel.
There was an ancient country in the southwest of Qiling. It is recorded in the ancient records that the ancient country was built by a prince thousands of years ago. At that time, it was said to be extremely extravagant, and he wished he could gather all the treasures and beauties from the world here. It spans nearly a hundred miles from north to south, and there are countless cities in it. It was unique in the world at that time.
However, as time goes by, the ancient country has long since declined, leaving only broken city walls and dilapidated palaces standing in the vast wilderness.
The caravan moved forward slowly and reached the ancient country.
Yun Zhong was forcibly pulled up by Tang Bufeng in his sleep. Just when he was about to have a seizure, he raised his head and saw this desolate historic site, and his eyes suddenly became blank.
You must know that the master and the disciples were mostly traveling through the Shiwanshan Mountains. There were few people inhabiting them, and most of them were giant trees in the mountains, and the grass and trees were singing. The journey took several months, which made Yun Zhong look a little dull. The sight of the desolate desert made the young man extremely happy.
"Look at your ignorant look. I've walked through this place no less than five times, and I've long lost my taste for it. Is there something special about it?" Tang Bufeng saw the young man stunned and deliberately taunted him. .
The young man was still staring intently, but his mouth was not idle, "It's natural to feel indifferent after seeing too much. Even if the house is adjacent to famous mountains and rivers, it will be dull and boring to see too much. When I get to your age, it will be calm even if we are close to each other."
"This is heartbreaking to say. I'm not that old either." Tang Bufeng picked up a long-stemmed piece of dry grass from the ground and held it in his mouth.
Ever since he knew that there was good wine in Yunzhong's carriage, Tang Bufeng rarely lived in his own carriage. Often after Yun Zhong had recovered his energy all night long, he would climb into the carriage as he should, push the sleepy young man to one side, and go to the back of the carriage to smell the aroma of wine and iron his clothes.
Yunzhong looked far into the distance, and saw a few light clouds coming in on a bright and sunny sky. The sun was just right at noon, and the clouds were dancing. The bright sunlight passed through the blue clouds and fell on the continuous ancient sites. The charm is indescribable.
As noon approached, the caravan naturally had to light a fire and prepare meals, so the horses gradually stopped.
"How about practicing sword practice?" Tang Bufeng's eyes were so venomous. He saw the eyes of the young man rising and falling, and the long sword beside him was slowly held by the palm of his hand, and he immediately invited him.
"Okay." Yun Zhong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "The person who knows me is Madman Tang."
"One mouthful of Madman Tang, but don't be defeated too quickly." Tang Bufeng was not happy, spit out the grass roots, and got out of the car.
So in the desert, the two men faced each other with swords.
