An evolutionary game starting from Suolongjing

Ever since the temples in Jingjue City officially opened their doors and began to welcome pilgrims.

The atmosphere here is deflecting in the direction of the Tang Dynasty at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In Zhang Ke's view, most of the credit must be attributed to the practitioners in the city. It is precisely because of their tireless publicity that the progress has been so smooth.

Of course, for the people in the city.

What really drives them is the vivid statue of the god in the temple, and the looming golden body of incense above the temple in the morning and evening.

Can see the gods with my own eyes,

Coupled with the improving living environment, they will naturally become more pious and start to move closer to the Tang Dynasty.

The current situation of Jingjue City has spread to various cities in the Western Region through word of mouth from the government and merchants, which has also accelerated the construction of temples in various cities.

And just when various cities were busy building temples and preparing to invite gods to move in.

Zhang Ke, who was far away in the desert, was completely idle. Of course, he didn't have nothing to do.

But the tinkering work of running the earth veins and creating the small underworld is also his responsibility, but the increase in his strength is not significant. The only ones who benefit are basically monsters and practitioners.

After trying it for a few days, he gave up.

Zhang Ke is not stingy.

But with him operating at full strength, the cultivators and monsters began to gather at the leyline nodes.

Everyone turned their attention to practice, and the people in the city and the land lineage were all forgotten.

It was originally a matter of mutual achievement, but now it became Zhang Ke's unilateral contribution. The identities of the boss and the wage earner were exchanged. He returned to his original state within a few days.

besides.

During this period, the chinchilla and the snake demon uncharacteristically did not practice with the demons. Instead, they wandered in the desert day and night, looking for Zhang Ke.

Seeing their pitiful looks and persistence, Zhang Ke no longer ignored the two demons.

He took the initiative to give guidance and allowed them to find themselves.

Keep the two demons as attendants.

On the one hand, Zhang Ke really needs to have a few instigators around him, and the loyal Taoist priest Lao Wang has now become a figure similar to a temple minister, responsible for the affairs of dozens of temples in the city.

When the most useful person cannot be freed up, Zhang Ke will not trust anyone else.

After all, people's hearts are complicated. In comparison, although monsters are not clever enough, they are more than loyal.

On the other hand, the two monsters are relatively eye-catching. He is not an eminent monk who regards red pink as a skeleton, and he does not need to seek scriptures from the west. It is naturally okay to have two beautiful monsters in front of him to be eye-catching.

After watching the exotic dances for a few days, Zhang Ke had to admit that the plan to capture the Western Region was indeed a good one.

Thinking that I am in Yangyang Jiuzhou, I should enjoy all the beautiful things.

It's a pity that the chinchilla and the snake demon are both beautiful, but they have not experienced the era that Zhang Ke lived in. They are more than elegant but not hot enough. Even if Zhang Ke personally recounts them, they are still barely interesting.

Day one, swing.

The second day, singing and dancing.

The third day. Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke, how can you degenerate like this? No, you can’t sink like this anymore.

On the fourth day, music and dancing continued!

At the same time, on a hillside under a cliff in Kunlun Mountain, there were dozens of Tibetan warriors holding scimitars and vajra pestles, climbing up and down in search. Along with these warriors, there were Two mastiffs half as tall as a man.

The face covered by hair was pressed against the ground, sniffing.

They searched for a long time, but still didn't seem to find what they were looking for.

One of the warriors cursed twice angrily.

Then he turned around, took the other warriors and the mastiff, and groped in other directions.

After a long time.

And not far from the hillside where these warriors were searching, there was a slight movement at an accumulation of rubble.

Then, a dirty, barely human-like figure carefully poked its head out from under the rubble. The dark and thin face looked around for a while, then shrank back again.

Hiding under the gravel, even breathing was reduced to a minimum.

He was motionless, like a dead person. However, his open eyes were not calm.

If he had not shouted recklessly that day when he was wandering around, he would not have been ostracized by everyone, let alone someone deliberately publicizing his name as Li Si, causing him to be unable to survive in the territory of the Protectorate. .

I don’t want to go back to my hometown with nothing accomplished and be gossiped about.

He was alone again, wandering around in the Western Turks. If he was encountered by Turks or monsters, his bones might not be recovered.

In the end, I had no choice but to come to Tubo to try my luck.

See if you can find precious medicinal materials such as Tianshan Snow Lotus or Cordyceps. If you dig up a few more plants, prepare them and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty, it will be considered as a waste of money.

However, Li Si's luck was not good. He actually found a bunch of cordyceps and two snow lotus plants. One of the snow lotus plants even shimmered with precious light.

But he was lucky. When he left, he accidentally bumped into a Tibetan monk.

Whether it is snow lotus or cordyceps, they are all precious medicinal materials in Tubo, especially one of them.

Naturally, Li Si was chased by the monks.

At the beginning, there was only one monk. He relied on his family's magic to injure and kill the monk and escaped capture. However, this was Tubo's territory after all. Before he could run out of the Kunlun Mountains, the dead monk was captured. people discovered.

Immediately afterwards, more monks and a large number of Tibetan warriors came to search for him and pursued him relentlessly.

And Li Si naturally became a street rat.

Fortunately, the deficiencies in his family's inherited techniques were not serious. With the escape techniques inherited from his family and the ability to hide during the day and go out at night, he barely managed to avoid the Tubo soldiers several times.

At this moment, he had fled to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He could leave Tubo and return to Khotan by walking a few dozen miles further.

Seeing that hope was right in front of him, Li Si still did not dare to relax, because he had heard many stories, and most of the protagonists fell at the last moment before dawn.

Moreover, although the Tubo warriors never caught him, they did not lose his whereabouts, as evidenced by the previous group of warriors.

So he planned to continue hiding in the rubble, waiting until night before setting off as before, using the cover of darkness to complete the last section of the road.

Stay up from day to night.

Li Si slowly crawled out from under the rubble, tremblingly took out a cordyceps cordyceps from his arms and threw it into his mouth. As he chewed it, he mobilized the remaining mana in his body to refine the medicinal properties.

Feeling a little warmth coming from his abdomen, he held his breath and concentrated, bit his finger, and drew two talismans on his calf.

"My parents-in-law bless me, my ancestors bless me, and my unfilial disciple Li Si will be able to escape this catastrophe. Mr. City God bless me, and I will offer incense and kowtow to you when I return safely!"

Halfway through, Li Si changed the subject again.

After all, if you really want to talk about the effect, the gods and ancestors you worship are thousands of miles away, and it is far less effective than praying to the city god for protection.

Although the City God is extremely busy, he may not notice him.

But always ask for something.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on fate.

After the medicine dissolved in his body, Li Si stood up from the ground and activated the charms on his legs.

The next moment, he rushed out with a "whoosh", leaving an afterimage in the dark night.

The wind howled in my ears.

Under the night, he could vaguely see the shadow of the city at the end of his sight, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

Because while seeing the shadow of the city, Li Si also noticed that there were several bonfires burning in the night at the junction of Khotan City and Kunlun Mountain.

Around the flames, there were sword-wielding samurai and monks with strict laws, and at their feet were several mastiffs.

Seeing this, Li Si cursed in his heart.

He scolded these Tibetan people for their persistence, and at the same time he scolded himself for being carried away by his emotions. He knew that the other party had a dog, but he painted the talisman with blood. He really wanted to be killed by his own stupidity.

As Li Si approached, the mastiffs that were lying on the ground seemed to smell something and stood up, barking wildly.

Seeing this, the monks and warriors also stood up one after another. They looked around and soon followed the roar of the mastiff and spotted Li Si running wildly in the night. While loosening the chain on the mastiff, the samurai rushed towards Li Si with a knife. .

Naturally, the original speed of the samurai could not keep up with Li Si who was blessed with a talisman, but there were still monks here.

As these monks chanted, each Tibetan warrior seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, his eyes were red, and his body swelled while his running legs also pulled out fragments of afterimages.

In a few breaths, he was close to Li Si, and the bright blade slashed at his vitals from several directions.

Now that they have reached the border, they naturally have no intention of leaving anyone alive. Anyway, it is the same with bringing the dead back. The masters in the temple have many ways to make the dead open their mouths. If not, they can make a magic weapon and offer it in front of the Buddha. If you repent every day, you will always have enlightenment. day.

Sensing the ruthless thoughts of these warriors from their movements, Li Si gritted his teeth. It was not like he didn't have the skills to attack and kill them.

However, several days of pursuit had already exhausted his mana, and the magical weapons used to protect him had long been destroyed. Li Si had long been at the end of his rope, and now he was just relying on the mana made from Cordyceps to charge forward.

Once he fights back and loses his breath, he will never be able to go back. Instead, he will be slashed twice, and maybe he can still run across the border.

There are Turks in the city of Khotan, and there is also a demon king's cave in the nearby mountains.

With these two sides intimidating him, as long as he holds on for a while longer, the Tubo people will naturally throw a rat weapon and eventually retreat.

Confirming his thoughts in his mind, Li Si tried his best to squeeze himself again. Life and death were all in an instant. He didn't care whether there would be any sequelae. As the mana and blood surged in his body, Li Si's speed increased sharply. One line.

He twisted around to avoid several fatal injuries, and with two knives on his back, he lowered his body and rushed out of the encirclement.

However, before I could feel happy, a dark wind suddenly blew in my ears.

Li Si's hair stood on end, his eyes widened with red eyes and he suddenly exerted force on his legs. able

"Ahhh!"

A hoarse roar came from his throat, and his whole body fell towards the border like a falcon when it pounced.

"Boom!"

A huge metal object appeared behind him at this time and hit his side. There was a crunching sound inside his body, and then Li Si, who was still flying in the air, felt his right leg tremble. Damn, I can't help myself.

The moment the feeling appeared, the burning fire in his eyes faded away.

You don't need to look to see that your spine is damaged, and even if your legs are not disabled, you probably won't be able to run.

This was because he was leaping into the air. If he were still running on the ground, what would have been smashed through was not his lumbar spine, but the back of his heart, and he might have died instantly.

thinking in mind.

Sure enough, after landing, Li Si's legs were a little weak and he couldn't support his body. He rolled far away in a mess, his limbs and head hitting the ground, and he grimaced in pain.

Although his legs were disabled, when the inertia in his body weakened and he stopped, Li Si gritted his teeth and held up his arms to pounce forward.

But unfortunately, before he could crawl out very far, he heard the increasingly clear barking of dogs and the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Damn it, I failed this time!"

Feeling numbness and weakness in his legs, Li Si lay on the ground dejectedly and resigned.

However,

At this moment, the majestic barking of the dog suddenly turned into a whimper, and the heavy footsteps suddenly stopped.

Li Si, who was already numb and waiting for death, blinked in shock.

what's the situation?

Turks. No, although he had crossed the border, this place was still dozens of miles away from the city of Khotan where the Turks gathered. In the middle of the night, the Turks were all in the city of Khotan, and even if they discovered the situation, they were not so quick.

Is that the Demon King of Khotan?

Did he come so quickly? Although, he had inquired before entering Tubo that the demon king generally did not eat people, but the demon king did not eat, which did not mean that he would not kill people. If not, there would be little demons in the mountains. They would fall into the hands of the monsters. , cooking barbecue, tempering Yang Qi, the way to die is no easier than falling into the hands of Tubo.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li Si's mind, but when he raised his head, what he saw was not hairy legs, but a pair of familiar boots - Tang Dynasty official boots.

Looking further up, he saw a set of luxurious robes and an unrecognizable face, as if there was a veil on the other person's body.

He was about to use magic to open up the veins in his eyes so that he could see more carefully, but the next moment, Li Si suddenly thought of a possibility in his mind, and he quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes and lay on the ground without daring to speak.

Compared with Li Si's shock, the faces of the Tubo warriors and monks behind him were ugly.

Half in disbelief, half in horror.

They have just crossed the edge!

Not even a mile away.

Who is this dirty thief? How could he be rescued by a god himself?

Although they secretly denounce Li Si's identity, at the moment, not only are they unable to take back the thief who stole the snow lotus medicine, but they are also walking too slowly, and they themselves may be in danger.

The monk trembled and bowed, while the warriors knelt on the ground and bowed.

Seeing this, the hazy figure had a look of displeasure on his face:

"Tsk, you're so sensible, it's hard for me to do anything."
