Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chapter 418 The envoy of God is going to Qilian Mountain?

"Your Majesty, we won't be arrested as spies, right?"

"Phantom, you are becoming less and less courageous now. So what if you are a spy? Are you still unable to defeat these herdsmen?"

The grassland in spring is full of vitality. The endless alfalfa is mixed with wild flowers and grasses of various colors. The flying eagle hovers overhead, swoops down, rushes to the ground and catches a gray hare that had no time to hide in its burrow.

The herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep on the grassland, singing unknown songs.

Phantom held a stalk of grass in his mouth and mentally lit a candle for himself.

The eldest son of his family said that he wanted to find a special birthday gift for Miss Chu.

The two of them headed west and sneaked out of the Liguo border.

Ahead is near the camp of a small grassland tribe.

The dry food they brought has been exhausted. In the past few days, they have relied on stealing sheep from these tribes at night to fill their stomachs.

"Phantom, put on a sheepskin coat, pretend to be lost, and go out to ask which way to go in Qilian Mountain?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know the language of these people! How about you go?"

"Look at me, the son of your family. Even if I'm wearing a sheepskin coat, I don't look like the people on the grassland, right? People on the grassland are wary of us Li country people. I'm afraid they will lie to me.

In this way, I will teach you how to say it.After you ask, look at the direction of his finger, and then learn what he said and tell me. "

According to his observation, the tribe in front was a Qiang tribe. Lu Yu began to teach Phantom how to ask for directions in Qiang language.

Phantom studied for a long time and finally learned two sentences.

Forced by Lu Yu, he put on a sheepskin jacket full of smell and went out to ask for directions.

He seriously suspected that the eldest son of his family was not afraid that others would deceive him because they saw that he was from the country, but that he couldn't stand the smell of the sheepskin coat, so he refused to go out and ask for directions.

The phantom rode his bay-red horse and approached the sheep "嘘嘚嘚".

The old Qiang man shepherding sheep saw the phantom coming on horseback, raised the shepherd's whip in his hand, and said something in his mouth.

Phantom couldn't understand what the old man meant, but he speculated that the old man was asking him where he came from, or asking him not to get close.

Phantom shouted according to the words Lu Yu taught him: "Uncle, don't be nervous, I'm just a lost merchant. Which direction should I go to Qilian Mountain?"

When the old Qiang man heard that Phantom said he was a merchant, he immediately became excited. He pointed to the robe on Phantom's horse and asked:

"Young man, do you have any salt? The old man wants to exchange some salt with you."

Phantom saw that the direction of the old man's finger was behind him, and thought to himself: "We are indeed going in the wrong direction. It turns out that Qilian Mountain is behind us!"

Phantom handed over to the old man, said thank you, turned around and ran back to Lu Yu.

"Your Majesty, let me ask you clearly, which way should Qilian Mountain go? We went the other way."

Lu Yu asked: "What did the shepherd say?"

Phantom wanted to repeat it, but was scratching his head and couldn't.

Lu Yu asked again: "Are you sure which direction he is pointing?"

Phantom said: "I saw it really."

Lu Yu was a little suspicious: "Before I came out, I saw the king's map, why did I go wrong?"

The two of them followed the direction pointed by the shepherd and walked for a while.

When he met a Qiang woman grazing herds again, Lu Yu asked Phantom to ask for directions.

The same thing happened, but this time the Qiang woman saw the phantom look energetic and invited the phantom to her home, pointing in the direction of her home.

The two masters and servants took Si Nan and relied on the map remembered in Lu Yu's mind and various misguided guidance from the herdsmen. Half a month later, they saw the shadow of a towering mountain.

"Phantom, look at that mountain, we have arrived at the Qilian Mountains!"

Lu Yu was still wearing the brocade robe that could only be worn by rich men from the Li Kingdom. Unfortunately, he only brought two changes of clothes with him. He changed and washed them every day, and the moon-white brocade robe already looked a little old.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of water along the way, so Lu Yu's little mysophobia could barely support him.

Phantom is well aware of the habits of his eldest son. Ever since he started wearing sheepskin jackets, his eldest son has not let him get close to him.

"Your Majesty, it's going to be dark soon. As the saying goes, Wangshan is a race to death. Let's rest here for the night and then go into the mountain tomorrow, right?"

Lu Yu was also a little hungry, so he got off his horse, patted "Xiao Bai"'s butt, and let him eat grass by himself.

Phantom lit a fire, took out the remaining leg of lamb from the bag, heated it on the fire, and handed it to Lu Yu: "Your Majesty, this is what was left from yesterday, just make do with it."

Lu Yu turned his head away in disgust: "You can eat it. I feel like vomiting when I see the mutton. Do you have any more cake? Give me a piece."

Phantom turned out a piece of cake and handed it to Lu Yu.

"That's all we have left. We exchanged it for salt with the Qiang people. If we had known that salt was so precious on the grasslands, we should have brought more."

Lu Yu tore the cake into pieces and ate it in small bites. He kept looking at the majestic rolling mountains in the darkening dusk. His heart beat: "Is this really the Qilian Mountains?"

He heard that there are snow lotus in the Qilian Mountains. The king of his family likes to make medicine. If he can pick the snow lotus and give it to the king, he will be very happy.

Unfortunately, the seven-day journey he originally planned was far from enough. The king's birthday had already passed before he saw the shadow of the first mountain.

No wonder the books say that the former general Li Guang "lost his way" in the grassland and postponed military affairs three times, thus leaving behind the allusion of "Li Guang is difficult to seal".

The sound of wolf howls was heard in the night, and Phantom stood up alertly and cursed: "Tough luck!"

Ever since they left the Qiang settlement and entered this uninhabited land, they felt that a wolf pack had been following them.

Every night, Phantom and Lu Yu didn't dare to sleep together. One person had to stay on guard for fear that the wolves would suddenly attack them while they were asleep.

Hearing the howl of the wolf tonight, it was very close.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

"What else can we do? Get on your horse and run away!"

The master and servant simply tidied up, got on their horses, and fled in embarrassment toward the mountains.

The wolves behind them seemed to know that they were going to escape and kept chasing them.

Tonight is a full moon. It is said that when the moon is full, wolves are at their most ferocious.

The two of them did not dare to slack off and ran for more than half an hour. Lu Yu suddenly saw a few sporadic bumps in front of him and asked the phantom: "Look over there, is it a tent?"

"Your Majesty, it's a tent. There may be a tribe over there. Let's get in. Even if the wolves are chasing us, there will be people to help us resist."

Lu Yu was convinced and rushed in that direction. When he was about to enter the camp, he realized something was wrong.

"Phantom, there are sounds of fighting."

The two dismounted, and Lu Yu asked Phantom to look at the horse while he went to check first.

In the middle of a dozen tents, there were more than a dozen grassland horse bandits armed with weapons, massacring herders.

This place should be a small tribe. Most of the tribe is old, weak, women and children, and they are no match for the horse bandits.

Lu Yu listened to their language. The horse bandits spoke Xirong dialect, but the herdsmen spoke neither Qiang nor Xirong dialect, and even he couldn't understand them.

But this is normal. There are many nomadic peoples on the grassland, and their languages ​​​​are also messy.

Lu Yu is afraid of wolves, but not the horse bandits.

When he saw a horse bandit's butcher knife about to slash at a little girl, Lu Yu launched his sleeve arrow and shot the horse bandit through the throat.

"Phantom, come and help!"

Lu Yu shouted.

The master and servant rushed out and killed more than a dozen horse bandits.

The surrounding herdsmen, women and children were saved, and they all knelt down, muttering strange languages, as if they regarded Lu Yu as a god descending to earth.

It's no wonder that these women and children regard Lu Yu as a messenger sent by God. They have never seen such a clean man on the grassland.

Moreover, Lu Yu wears his coquettish butterfly-shaped mask. Under the moonlight, the mask reflects the sacred light, adding a bit of mystery to him.

Lu Yu said uncomfortably: "There are wolves outside. Let's help together and throw these corpses away, lest the bloody smell attracts the wolves."

But these herdsmen obviously didn't understand him.

Lu Yu had no choice but to speak again in Xirong and Qiang languages.

Fortunately, the great witch in the tribe could speak Xirong dialect. This scrawny old woman stepped forward and said to Lu Yu in Xirong dialect:

"Thank God for killing the evil thief for us. I will arrange for someone to throw the evil thief's body out to feed your slaves."

Seeing the women of the tribe carrying the corpse out and throwing it into the distance on horseback. Some people were not afraid of the wolves and threw the corpse directly in the direction where the howling of the wolves came from. Lu Yu asked the great witch:

"Aren't you afraid of wolves?"

"How can wolves be as scary as these god-killing horse bandits? When the wolf is hungry, it will most likely steal our sheep. But these horse bandits want our lives. Besides, aren't those wolves brought to you by God? They are all yours. Servants will naturally not attack us."

Lu Yu felt that the thinking of the grassland people was really weird. Could he say that he was driven here by wolves?

Lu Yu coughed twice in embarrassment and asked the great witch: "Where are the men here?"

The great witch said sadly: "All the men in the tribe were captured and made slaves by Mr. Youxian Wang. We are the only useless women and children left in the tribe.

Will God rest here with us tonight? "

Lu Yu finally found someone who could communicate with him, so he naturally wanted to ask more about the situation in Qilian Mountain, so he agreed to stay and asked Phantom to follow the women to guard against the wolves.

The people on the grassland had their own way of resisting the wolves. They lifted up the fences that had been knocked to pieces by the horse bandits one by one, and sprinkled a foul-smelling liquid around the fences.

Sure enough, when the wolves approached the tribe, they did not come in directly.

After walking around the tribe, they returned to the place where the corpses were dumped and gnawed at the corpses of the horse bandits.

The women in the tribe didn't feel scared either. It could be seen from their expressions that they thought it should be so normal and natural.

The great witch lit up the fire, took out goat's milk, and some delicacies that the prairie people thought they had, and treated Lu Yu and Phantom.

"The envoy of God wants to go to Qilian Mountain? But this is already Langjuxu Mountain!"

Two black lines appeared on Lu Yu's forehead. How did he make a big circle and turn behind the royal court of Xirong?
