As soon as September comes out, the weather is not as hot and unbearable as when summer first comes. Although there are still a few days of late autumn left, compared with the previous two months, it is still much better. It's a hot day in the middle of summer, and it really makes all the pores on your body open. It's good to sweat profusely. If the weather is too hot and you don't have enough water to drink, it's common to get sha and heat stroke, which is even more unbearable.
People in ancient times have been most afraid of illness when going out. Therefore, during summer and winter, they always carry a lot of herbal medicines with them for emergencies. For example, if there is no medicine in the caravan, I am afraid that the leader will die in the wind and sand before he can reach the desert city.
After more than half a month, the caravan arrived at the border between Yizhang and Qiling at the beginning of the autumn market. As for why it was so fast, it was thanks to the shortcut to the ancient country that it was chosen at the time. It was very fast, including the middle way. The delayed time has not delayed the autumn market. As for the first achievements here, they are naturally the two heads of the Han Xi family. If they go through the official route, it will take ten and a half days to get there. After going back and forth to the Autumn Fair, these old brothers who have wandered around the world , I’m afraid I’ll lose all my money.
In fact, apart from the ancient Guandao Kingdom, there is still a rarely visited trail that can go straight to Yizhang. However, this road cannot bypass the natural dangers of Huayan Mountain. No caravan dares to travel through such a dangerous place. , Losing your life here for no reason would be a much greater loss than earning a few extra taels of silver.
The advantage of traveling from the ancient country is that it can avoid Huayan Mountain, and go straight from the desert of Qiling to Huayan Mountain, directly to the northern region of Yizhang Kingdom, and is close to the Autumn Market. In this way, the caravan You can also take some time to rest and then cross the mountains to go to the Autumn Fair, and you are in a hurry. The words "Thousands of feet of eaves and thousands of miles of ridges" are certainly true. Almost half of the border areas of the Yizhang Kingdom are surrounded by mountains and are almost isolated from the world: due north and east is the desert of the ancient Qiling Kingdom, and the northwest is isolated by the Shiwanshan Mountains. Connecting the two kingdoms of Qiling, Xia and Song, the terrain is really difficult.
The caravan has already been stationed outside Changling to rest. If it waits for a few days and then crosses the mountain again, it will be able to enter Yizhang just in time for the autumn market.
"You don't take your brother with you when you're drinking? You're so unkind. You've been paying attention to me all the way. You should be punished." Tang Bufeng sat down next to Yun Zhong's seat, stretched out his arm and put a bottle of wine on the table. I caught it in my hand and was too lazy to look for the wine bottle. I drank most of it in a few sips from the spout of the pot, wiped my mouth and smiled.
Although everyone in the caravan had known that Madman Tang had a very poor drinking capacity, after drinking countless drinks with Yun Zhong over the past few days, his drinking capacity naturally increased. In the past few days, everyone was drinking together, and they were even close to Lao Sanjin Han Xi, so Then he loved drinking more and more, and he was happy every day without drinking.
"Drink less. After all, the caravan has not arrived in Yizhang City yet. If hundreds of bandit gangs appear in the night, how can you resist the enemy if you are drunk." Compared with Tang Bufeng's heavy drinking at this time Yun Zhong's current behavior can be said to be that of a lady. She just raised a glass and sipped it lightly, with a very clear mind, "Besides, you are about to get married. God knows where my sister-in-law has been wandering around these days. If she returns to Shang In the team, why don’t you just yell at me and scold me? Don’t ask me for help then.”
Tang Bufeng hardened his face, but then he changed his look of dissoluteness, patted his chest and said boldly: "Don't worry, brother, this place is called Wulingpo. Although it is still a wilderness, Qiling It is still a very important trade route, and there are elite soldiers guarding it for miles around. Of course, the ordinary bandits in the village are eager to steal some money from the merchants, but they cannot offend the officers and soldiers here by smashing pebbles with stones, so there is no need to worry. "
After that, Tang Bufeng was silent for a moment, drank the pot of wine, and then slowly said, "As for your sister-in-law, how dare I ask about her whereabouts now."
Yun Zhong also put down his wine glass, frowning and saying nothing.
That day, a hundred miles of water split into two, and a muffled shout came from the city, urging the caravan to leave quickly without delay. If they were trapped in the city, they would not know when they would be able to get out to the outside world again.
Therefore, Yun Zhong quickly pulled the rope, and the caravan slowly emerged from the mist, and together with Tang Bufeng, who had returned from a distance, stepped into the giant door.
After exiting the vast water waves, everyone had time to speak in amazement. But when they looked back, the two water curtains that were clearly separated had been closed. There was no giant water curtain left, and only a large spring lake with undulating blue waves remained. Across the horizon.
In the middle of the lake, a mottled square stone tablet sank into the water and was no longer visible. There were several ancient characters vaguely on the stone. The three of them opened their eyes to look, but they could only make out a few of them.
There are tapirs and mustard seeds in the sand.
There is no such thing as a desert city, it should be a tapir city.
According to folklore, tapirs like to eat copper and iron, and they also have the ability to ward off evil spirits. The most well-known thing is that tapirs can give people clear dreams. Anyone who is close to a tapir will surely dream of yellow rice. Reluctant to wake up.
Moreover, after talking with Xumi Mustard Seed, the three of them had heard some of the theory, so they felt more and more that the square stone tablet was very similar to the Desert City Ruiyun City Wall.
Yun Zhong saw that everyone around him was in a state of drunkenness, so he lowered his voice and said, "I guess you also saw the letter from the old city lord. The information in the letter probably has something to do with the meridians and acupuncture points, and the cultivation of Qi. All kinds of things, brother, you probably have to pay close attention."
Tang Bufeng nodded hesitantly, but then frowned slightly at Yunzhong, with a rather unnatural look on his face.
"It doesn't matter. Since we are near Qi Mausoleum, some things should be told truthfully. It is indeed unethical for brothers to keep hiding things." Yun Zhong didn't have too many worries. He took another sip of wine and took a deep breath. He exhaled and said, "But when it comes to this, please don't blame Brother Tang."
"Early in the early days of Wen Dou, I didn't realize these sword moves on my own, but relied on my master to teach me. As for coming to the caravan, it was because my master had something to do, and my master returned first." Yun Zhongwei said. He said with a very steady voice, "Calculating the time, we should have handled it properly long ago, but there is still no sign of the master, and there is no one from the master's sect. I guess we have encountered some difficult trouble."
"My master is an immortal swordsman in the eyes of the world. In terms of realm, he should be in the third or fourth realm."
Tang Bufeng was speechless and just took a sip of wine. "So, you already knew the so-called practice method in the rice paper, but you only told me about it today?"
"Yes." At this moment, the young man's expression remained as usual.
"The head of the family and Lao Sanjin have guessed that my master is not an ordinary person. Brother Han only knows that I have a master who is good at swordsmanship. As for whether he knows the method of cultivation, I haven't revealed anything yet."
Tang Bufeng did feel a little resentful this time, but he still suppressed the resentment in his chest and said, "Continue."
The young man drank again, but this time he downed most of the bottle of wine. The wine was so strong that he choked and coughed for a long time. After a while, he said, "The reason is because my master killed someone. It's okay to say that if there is a dispute, most of the officials will not ask questions; but my master's temper will naturally not kill ordinary people."
"Therefore, the less people know about this matter, the better. Although it is said that nothing happened along the way, I am just afraid of the unexpected. If it is traced down and the whole caravan is implicated, I will not feel at ease. Therefore, as far as the border of Yizhang country, I only dared to talk to you when we were near the master's mountain. Those three people were very tight-lipped. Even if they knew about the master, they should know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But with your drunken temper, you can speak freely. , I’m afraid no one knows about the caravan even before we get to Yizhang.”
"Who wants to lie and hide something from his brother for the rest of his life?"
After saying this, the young man showed a slightly dejected look, and the wine bottle in his hand shook slightly and almost hit the table.
The young man made a light move in his hand and saw that Tang Bufeng had already snatched the jug from his hand, "Don't drink it. The old city lord once clearly stated in his letter that whenever you drink alcohol, the sword in your belly will destroy the meridians. Although I don't know that sword How did it get into your intestines, but since it stirs the meridians, the taste must be similar to that day. Drink less."
Yun Zhong did have cramps in his abdomen.
Taking the jujube-colored pill that day did indeed calm the Bingqiu Lake for a few days. Even if he drank alcohol as usual, he no longer moved at all. But when I was drinking a few days ago, the unlucky sword spirit came to life again, causing chaos in the meridians. Even if I held the remaining pill at the base of my tongue, it couldn't make it calm as before.
The young man estimated that the pill was like a strange poison to Qiu Hu. After the strong medicine, although the Qiu Lake was much quieter, it was still difficult to adapt to it, so it would be difficult to suppress it with the strength of the medicine.
However, the exercise was a matter of luck, and drinking alcohol could not be practiced within a few days. Therefore, Yunzhong could only endure the severe pain in his chest and abdomen, and took a few sips of wine to practice.
Yun Zhong calmed his mind and spoke slowly, "Now that this has been explained clearly, let's talk about Mocheng. The old city lord can be said to be a man of extraordinary means. I wonder if this Mocheng is actually a In order to avoid the secular world, what kind of mustard trick did the senior master perform on the stone tablet alone, so that generations of people can live in it?"
"The stone monument is pressed under Daquan Lake, and the city is hidden in the monument. Although it is a bit absurd, it can be explained clearly, but who can have such a handwriting? To tell you the truth, I was invited by your sister-in-law in those few days, and I also saw it I passed through an ancient book, and it contains the methods of cultivation, but I couldn't understand it for a while." After hearing this, Tang Bufeng became more energetic, and he also followed the ear canal.
Yun Zhong also smiled, "That's a good thing, so it can be explained clearly: Although I have never seen anyone with such methods, my master alone is the best swordsman in the world. I'm afraid With one strike of the sword, the top of Wanren Mountain can be swept as flat as a mirror, and a city can be sealed in a monument. If one has great power in cultivation, it is indeed possible. Besides, there is no book in the world that hides the cultivation method. Building? In my opinion, that city was mostly repaired by the ancient sages using immortal methods, and has nothing to do with those unfounded ghosts and ghosts."
Seeing Tang Bu Feng let out a sigh of relief, the young man slapped the latter on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why, are you worried that your daughter-in-law is transformed by a fox demon? Tsk, how can Madman Tang who walks around the world be so helpless and suspicious? If it is true, The fox demon probably also fell in love with the handsome scholar who studied hard at night, so why would he fall in love with a rough guy like you?"
"Go away," Tang Bufeng curled his lips, "I'm going out to find my wife."
"Sure." Yun Zhong also said with a smile, and then planned to go back to the carriage to rest for a while, so as to relieve the pain caused by the drink just now.
Unexpectedly, after Tang Bufeng got on the horse, he asked Yunzhong again, "Brother, do you really not think that my face is so handsome that I look like an immortal?"
