The wealthy businessman was from the Western Regions. Hearing Changsheng's words, he responded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, general. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the things to you, and I will definitely tell the people of Khotan that it was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who destroyed Maka Mountain." Thief."
Changsheng nodded, turned to Yao Liqin and said, "General Yao, give them some horses, and some dry food and water."
Yao Liqin raised his hand to summon the veterans nearby and arranged for them to go and handle it.
After the wealthy businessmen thanked and left, Yao Liqin said cautiously, "General, this is not far from Khotan. Since you are old friends with Duke Naji, you might as well go and visit. We are here to wait for your return."
Changsheng shook his head blankly, "If I don't go, what can I say if I go?"
Seeing Chang Sheng Duo's melancholy, Yao Liqin vaguely guessed that this matter might involve his children's affair, but Chang Sheng didn't tell him, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only go elsewhere and direct the veterans to clean up the battlefield.
Changsheng stood on the mountainside and looked to the west. Next to him, Master Hei also looked to the west.
Chang Sheng stretched out his hand and stroked Master Hei's neck. Master Hei had walked this road before. As long as he wanted, he could ride on Master Hei and go to meet Ni Chenyi at any time. There was naturally joy in meeting Ni Chenyi again in a foreign land, but what would happen after the joy?
At the second watch, the veteran finished cleaning the battlefield, Changsheng got on his horse, turned his head to look west again, and then walked eastward with the others.
On the way back, Changsheng felt full of sadness. He had been away for a long time. He wanted to see Ni Chenyi again, and he also had enough reasons to see Ni Chenyi. The Ni family had been blackmailed by the Maka Mountain horse bandits, so he went to visit and inquire. It was reasonable, but he also knew that this reason was not sufficient, because the masked woman made it very clear that the horse bandits were only blackmailing the Ni family and did not insult Ni Chenyi. He could not deliberately do it to himself just because he wanted to see Ni Chenyi. Looking for reasons and excuses, this is so hypocritical.
In addition, the masked woman and these wealthy businessmen from the Western Regions will also meet the Ni family in the future. Through their stories, the Ni family will also know what he has done for them. He has told the Ni family with practical actions that he is always thinking about Ni. Everyone in the family, this is enough, there is no need to meet.
Except for Changsheng, everyone else is in a good mood. The reason why they are in a good mood is not that they have obtained a lot of gold and silver from the banditry, but that they are about to return to the Middle Earth and return to their roots.
"General, we have done a rough inventory. There are about..." the stolen goods in Maka Mountain.
Before Yao Liqin could finish speaking, Changsheng interrupted him, "What kind of stolen goods? I don't know, and we have never gone west to suppress bandits."
The fact that Yao Liqin was able to lead the people to survive in the desert is enough to prove that this person is very intelligent. After hearing what Changsheng said, he immediately understood that Changsheng wanted them to share the gold and silver so that they could return home to live in the future, and then he shouted at the soldiers. He said in a loud voice, "Remember it all, we have never gone west to suppress bandits, nor have we ever obtained stolen gold or silver."
Hearing Yao Liqin's words, all the veterans responded in unison and laughed happily.
Yao Liqin not only understood that Changsheng wanted them to share the gold and silver, but also discovered that Changsheng did not want the court to know that they had helped Duke Ji. This made him more and more sure that Khotan was concerned about Changsheng. He hesitated for a long time and plucked up the courage to say, "General, we have lived in the Western Region for many years, and it will take us a while to pack our luggage. Why don't we go back first, and you can meet us tomorrow?"
Chang Sheng cast an approving look at Yao Liqin, while shaking his head and saying, "No need."
Hearing what Changsheng said, Yao Liqin said nothing more. The group of people galloped through the starry night and returned to the city at the fourth watch. At this time, everyone in the city had packed up. Yao Liqin divided the silver gained from suppressing the bandits, and everyone left the city on horseback or in a car. Set out on the road.
Changsheng had been blown over by strong winds before, so everyone took a different road to the east this time. Although the ground was full of sand, it was obvious that they were taking the same road, because there was a hard bottom under the sand and the wheels were sunken. Not deep.
Asking Yao Liqin, it turned out that the road everyone was taking was indeed an old road from before. At that time, the area had not been invaded by the desert, and the surrounding area was not as desolate as it is now.
Changsheng was eager to return first, but he was worried that there were many old, weak, sick and disabled in the group. This place was not far from Khotan. In order to prevent accidents, it was safer to go with everyone for a while.
At noon, Changsheng was about to leave first, and was about to say goodbye to everyone when he suddenly found a woman in white standing on the sand dunes to the north.
At first he thought he was dazzled, but he looked carefully and found that he was not dazzled. There was indeed a woman in white clothes standing on the sand dune five miles due north. The clothes she wore did not resemble the clothes of a barbarian, nor did she look like a woman. It looked like the one worn by people in the Tang Dynasty. Due to the distance and the wind blowing, the woman's long hair covered her face, and the person's appearance could not be clearly seen.
Just as Changsheng frowned and looked north, Yao Liqin on the side whispered, "General, don't look at it."
"It?" Changsheng Haosheng was confused. At this time, he and she had different pronunciations. Yao Liqin used it instead of her.
"It's not a human being." Yao Liqin's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of the woman in white.
"How do you know she's not human?" Changsheng asked curiously.
"It looked like this thirty years ago, and its appearance has not changed over the years. If it were a mortal, how could it not age?" Yao Liqin said.
Chang Sheng did not ask any more questions, but pinched his fingers and recited the incantation silently, hoping to open his eyes.
"General, do you know magic?" Yao Liqin asked urgently, and before Chang Sheng could answer, he said anxiously, "You must never cast magic. It can sense and detect. Many Taoist priests and monks have died at its hands over the years. "
Seeing Yao Liqin's solemn expression, Chang Sheng did not continue the practice, nor did he look at the woman from a distance. Instead, he looked back and whispered, "What's going on?"
Yao Liqin whispered, "Back to the general, this monster has a very weird temperament. It has many magical powers, both good and evil. The sand dune it is standing on was originally a tomb, and it lives in that tomb. Anyone who comes close to it will If it touches a tomb, it will go on a rampage and kill people. It is not necessarily bad to say that it is evil, but it will also come to the rescue of a merchant who is in distress. "
"What kind of monster is it?" Chang Sheng turned around and searched for the string of blood spirit beads. Everyone, including Song Cai, said that the blood spirit beads can channel spirits and see ghosts. This thing lives in a tomb and is probably a ghost object.
"I don't know," Yao Liqin shook his head and said, "But I once heard someone say that there are countless gold treasures hidden in the tomb, and this monster is guarding the gold treasures."
Changsheng has already taken the Blood Spirit Pearl in his hand, but the woman in white in the distance is still the woman in white and has not changed into anything else. This shows that it is not a yin object, and it is noon at this time, and there are ghosts and ghosts in it. Unlikely to appear from this point on.
Yao Liqin seemed to be afraid that Changsheng would act rashly, and said again, "General, please don't get close to it, and don't look at it. This monster can do magic, and can make wind and rain, fly sand and move rocks. Mortals like us are no match for it."
Changsheng was already confused. He became more and more curious after hearing what Yao Liqin said. He tilted his head and took a peek again. At this time, the woman in white was still standing on the sand dune. As the angle changed, he could vaguely see the appearance of the woman in white. This woman had a long He's pretty good-looking, with a Han Chinese appearance, and his age is probably between thirty and forty years old, not very young, but not old either.
"You just said it killed many Taoist priests and monks. What's going on?" Changsheng asked.
Yao Liqin replied, "Back to General, before it was buried in the desert, it was a road. Occasionally, wandering monks and wandering Taoists passed by. They found out that it was a monster, so they tried to slay it, but without exception... They were all killed by it.”
After Yao Liqin finished speaking, Changsheng didn't ask any more questions. He already knew the magic of Longhu Mountain, but he was in a hurry this time. He didn't have magic weapons or talismans around him. Yao Liqin was so nervous, which showed that this thing was indeed very dangerous. It is better to have fewer people than to have more people in a foreign country. If the situation is unknown, it is better not to cause unnecessary complications.
Just when Changsheng made up his mind not to cause trouble, he never thought that the woman in white in the distance actually left the sand dune and floated towards the crowd.
Seeing this situation, Yao Liqin's expression changed greatly, while Chang Sheng suddenly frowned. When the woman in white moved, her feet lifted off the ground and floated straight south. Moreover, she did not activate her spiritual energy when she moved. She did not activate her spiritual energy. Without the complexion revealed, there is no way to confirm what it is.
But one thing is certain, that is, the cultivation level of this object has exceeded the scope of purple energy. The purple energy master's flying in the sky is gliding, but the woman in white is drifting like a fake. If it weren't for the blue sky and white sun, , everyone must have thought they saw a ghost.
Seeing the woman in white floating towards everyone on our side, everyone on our side showed panic. These veterans had experienced hundreds of battles and were not afraid of death, but they would still feel nervous and frightened when facing an enemy that was not a human being.
After a brief pause, Changsheng jumped up and flew northward.
"General." Yao Liqin shouted loudly while reining in his horse and trying to catch up.
"Keep going, don't come over." Changsheng ordered in a deep voice.
Changsheng used the body method to greet the woman in white. At the same time, he recited the incantation again, pinched his fingers, and opened the heavenly eye. The so-called heavenly eye is actually the yin eye. Living people are yang, and they can only see yang things. Taoists and monks can use the incantation to The mantra opens the celestial eye and the Dharma eye to see other things besides Yang things.
After opening the Heavenly Eye, the woman in white is still the woman in white, but there is a faint white light lingering around her body.
This vision made Changsheng even more confused. It was certain that the woman in white was not a human being, but it did not look like a monster either, because the aura of monsters was all black.
Changsheng stopped when he was a hundred feet away from the woman in white. The woman in white was obviously coming towards him and floated straight towards him.
Changsheng held the hilt of the knife in his hand, looking directly at the woman in white with concentration on guard.
However, as the distance approached, he found that there was no hostility in the eyes of the woman in white, but only shock and excitement.
After a while, the woman in white came closer, three steps away from Changsheng, tilted her head slightly, and looked sideways.
The other party didn't speak, and Changsheng didn't speak either. The other party looked at him, and he also observed the other party.
After a brief look at each other, the woman in white spoke, "You are finally here..."
