Legend of the Tang Dynasty

"Bring this...and that..." Zizhu said while helping Bian Zechuan pack his luggage

"I'm going to hunt down demons, what are you doing with a hand stove? I don't bring any of these." Bian Zechuan reminded softly

"Where were the winter clothes delivered a few days ago? Why can't I find them?" Shen Yin tightened her hair and came out of the room.

"Ah? Are we still wearing official uniforms?" Su Qing happened to come out of the room opposite the garden, and asked in casual clothes.

"Xiaoming, where are my clothes?" Mobuwan's sleepy voice came from Chen Xingming's room.

Everyone who was busy in a group fell silent instantly, Zizhu also stopped what she was doing, and held her breath like this for a few seconds, seeing that there was no more sound coming, everyone resumed their busyness, probably it was not too late to realize something , stuck out his tongue, and asked in a low voice

"Qi Ming, where did you put my clothes yesterday?"

"That set is too thin, I brought you a new set by the bed." Chen Ximing sat by the table and said

Mo Buwan looked at this brocade robe embroidered with dark red black silk patterns and said, "It's so beautiful."

Chen Qiming smiled, picked up several sets of sable furs on the table with one hand and went out, "One for each of these, I ordered people to drive them out these few days."

Su Qing, who was nearest, picked up one first, stretched out his hand to touch the black brocade fur without a trace of hair, and said: "Young master is very generous."

"We may have to go deep into the hinterland of Kunlun. Ordinary cotton clothes are always too thin." Chen Yuming said

"It's still Chiu Ming's thoughtfulness." Shen Yin also took the clothes and said

"And this." Chen Yuming took out three tightly sealed brocade bags from his arms and said, "I'll bring this for everyone in case of accidents."

"What is this?" Su Qing asked after taking it

"Chalcedony muscle-building powder, not too much, I divided it into five parts, so that even if we get separated, we can have emergency medicine to stop bleeding." Chen Yuming said

At this time, it was not too late to tidy up and come out, "Don't be like in Longzhi this time, let's say nothing and don't act separately."

"It's not too late to say it right, it's no joke in the snow mountain." Bian Zechuan came over and said

Chen Yuming looked at everyone and said, "Remember not to act recklessly this time, everyone must protect themselves."

In this way, several people embarked on the road to Kunlun, resting hastily along the way, and only sat down to have a good meal when they arrived in Tubo.The scenery along the way and the style of the post stations have long been very different from those in Chang'an. Although these outsiders have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they still retain their own customs.

In the inn, Chen Yuming opened his yin and yang eyes after sitting down, looked around the gray-blue surroundings and found that there were no monsters, and Su Qing was also habitually vigilant, and quickly browsed around the inn. After the people coming and going, they said: "I'll go check first and see if I can find anything useful."

Although Chen Yuming also thought so, he still worried: "I see that there are mostly Huihe people and Tubo people around here. We don't understand their language. Talking to them in the Central Plains dialect may make them unreasonably defensive."

Su Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not about me, I can say a few words about what they say, and besides, I'm a Turkic, they probably won't be too guarded against me."

Soon Su Qing chatted with a group of Tubo people, and it was not too late to look back from Su Qing's direction, and said with some admiration: "Old Su really hides his secrets, and his experience in walking the world is much richer than ours. .”

"In terms of effective handling, I also respect Su Qing very much." Bian Zechuan said

Mo Buwan smiled and said: "It's a matter of dealing with people. Brother Zechuan has always been seen like a mountain, so naturally there are many opportunities for investigation."

While several people were talking and laughing, Su Qing also came back, sat down and said: "Ask, the reason why so many caravans have come and gone is because the area is really not peaceful these days, and there are rumors in many villages that there are demons. Someone else saw the snow beast, this inn will be empty tonight, everyone is going to take refuge."

"What is a snow beast?" Mo Buwan asked

"Snow beast is a monster with a huge body and long white hair all over its body, like a monster." After Chen Yuming explained, he continued: "However, snow beasts are not very good at attacking people. If it is controlled by Gao’s monster clan, it means there are other monsters nearby.”

"Well, those people also said, don't go out after Xu time, monsters will appear and hurt people after that time." Su Qing said

"Since there are demons, why don't these people report to the officials?" Shen Yin asked puzzled

"I also asked this question. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the name of our "Monster Hunting Division". Either they didn’t report it, or they were suppressed even if they reported it.” Su Qing said

"Regardless of what this monster is, we'll find out if we take a look after the Xu hour." Mo Wuwan said

"Success, I'll go get ready later then." Su Qing said

When it was dusk, Su Qing set up spiritual barriers around, and prepared a surprise attack and response in a hidden place as usual. Chen Yuming and Mo Buwan took the initiative to attack to attract monsters, while Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan waited in the inn for an opportunity.Compared with the ordinary foothills, the snow-capped mountains are more majestic and continuous, even at night, they seem to be so high that they reach the sky, and just under the Kunlun Mountains, a man with a body as thin as a willow and phoenix eyes is standing in this snowy field Among them, his silver-white hair scattered behind him, and a silver-colored deer crown grew on his head. The antlers stretched backwards, wanton and beautiful, but the shadow reflected on the snow seemed to be a devil's claw that dragged people into the ground.

An entire hour passed, and there was no movement between Chen Yuming and Mo Buwan. Su Qing said to himself, "It must be that something happened..."

At this time, he changed back to a human form, and the lizard lying behind him said: "There are some monsters in the snow mountain that can create illusions and manipulate people's minds. Don't they go into some magic circle."

"It would be troublesome if this is the case. Let's go and see Shen Yin and the others." Su Qing flew down from the pavilion and said

"Hey, sir, slow down! Wait for me." Lizard shouted under his throat

When Su Qing returned to the inn, Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan were also discussing countermeasures. Seeing Su Qing coming back, Shen Yin said: "We were just about to call you back. You have been gone for so long, and I am worried that something might go wrong. .”

"Well, let's go out and have a look." Su Qing said

"Ah? Are you going up the mountain now? It's too dangerous, why don't you?" Lizard stopped

"It's useless, it will be too late if you don't go." Su Qing insisted on pushing the door and went out

The lizard couldn't persuade him so he had to follow, and the three of them marched towards the vast snow mountain with a lizard. Chen Yuming and Mo Buwan were not attacked, but were taken away by a storm. The two walked farther and farther, everywhere. It was all white, and no matter what, I couldn't find the direction I came from.

After a gust of wind and snow rested for a while, Mo Buwan forcefully opened his eyes and said, "What should we do with Mingming? We must have been hit by some illusion, right? Why can't we get out like a ghost hitting a wall?"

"The only ones who can control the illusion are Snow Girl and Winter Deer, but now I don't see it as an illusion." Chen Yuming said

"I don't know what's going on with Senior Sister..." Mo Buwan was talking, when he suddenly looked down and saw the dark orange light coming from the brocade bag hanging around Chen Gongming's waist, and he immediately said, "Look at Qiming!"

"It's a talisman. They are looking for us, so they should be nearby."

The two walked towards the direction where the talismans flickered frequently. Not only did they walk for a long time, they finally saw a few dotted figures in front of them. Waving his hands, gradually both sides saw the light of the magic talisman on the other side, and after confirming their identities, they converged more quickly.

"Finally found you!" Shen Yin gasped.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Su Qing asked

"It's okay, how did you find it?" Chen Ximing said

"Don't mention it, do you know how far you have traveled? We walked up the mountain for an hour before the talisman started to shine." Su Qing said

"Let's go back tonight." Su Qing looked at the lizard behind him and said, "Can you find the way back?"

The lizard nodded quickly, and several people were about to set off to go back, but the moment they turned around, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the top of the mountain, which made it difficult to distinguish whether it was the roar of the wind or the roar of the beast. In a state of alert, they formed a circle with their backs facing each other, and weapons appeared in their respective hands.

"I thought it was wrong, it's here after all." Su Qing was never afraid of open swords and spears, and hated these monsters who set people up the most in his life, so he gritted his teeth and said

The lizard cowering beside him said: "Oops...it's the winter deer, why did you startle him when it first arrived!"

"What's wrong with the winter deer? It's just a mere deer monster." Su Qing suppressed the water monster, naturally not paying attention to it.

"He's different. This winter deer is said to have cultivated for nearly ten thousand years and can control wind, fog, rain and snow. Just an avalanche can bury us!" Lizard trembled.

As the rumbling noise got closer, Su Qing said impatiently: "If you are afraid, turn back into a lizard and stay well, don't make trouble for me."

"Be careful!" Chen Yanming yelled, and everyone followed his direction to see a dozen huge snow beasts running towards them.

The lizard changed back to its original form, and after getting into Su Qing's arms, he held on to the hem of his clothes, and several people scattered in an instant, fighting with each other. Chen Yuming held the sword, and a ray of orange light split the head-on Su Qing rushed towards a snow beast that came, entangled it with his whip and then tightened his backhand, until the giant beast died and fell to the ground, Shen Yin moved vigorously and quickly shuttled between the snow beasts to hurt its vitals, it would be too late to strike Slashing the snow beast's forelimb, the snow beast stood up madly, and when it rushed towards Mo Buwan, Shen Yin jumped up from behind, stepped on the snow beast's shoulder and swept the tip of the fan straight to its throat, and then the snow beast roared She fell to the ground, and behind Shen Yin who landed nimbly, Zechuan's three short swords suddenly appeared beside her, blocking the palm of another giant beast for her.

The dozen or so snow beasts were fighting like crazy, but the cooperation between the few people was perfect. After the last snow beast fell to the ground, the several people also stood together and calmed down and said: " Fortunately, there are only so many, although this thing has no fighting power, it really consumes energy when fighting."

A gust of wind blows up the floating snow on the ground, and there is a silent emptiness all around. In the distance, there seems to be a flash of white light in the dark emptiness, and then it gets closer and closer, and the wind is getting closer...

I saw the deer demon slowly raised his arm and pointed with a twisted hand. Thousands of snow beasts roared and rushed towards them again as if born from the ground. Chen Yuming looked behind and said

"It's not a winter deer, it's Fuzhu."
