Eternal East Flow [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

Even with the map given by Lin Chaoying, it is not easy to find Vulture Palace.

Le Yuancen combined the records of those Xixia anecdotes and stories, and roughly deduced that the Vulture Palace is very likely to be located in the west of the Xixia Kingdom-on the Misty Peak of the Tianshan Mountains. Few have heard of Misty Peak.The exact location of the Vulture Palace can only be found inch by inch after entering the Tianshan Mountains.

Going from the capital of the Xixia Kingdom to the Tianshan Mountains, you need to walk through a long section of the Gobi Desert.This section of the road is extremely easy to get lost if there is no guide who is familiar with the path, even for those who know martial arts. Getting lost in the desert means the coming of death.

Fortunately, the Xixia Kingdom has frequent business exchanges with its surrounding areas. It is located in the Hexi Corridor, and thus connects the trade exchanges between various parts of the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Every once in a while, there are caravans heading towards the Tianshan Mountains, and these caravans have become the guides who are most familiar with the landscape.

Le Yuancen lived in Xiping Mansion for more than a month. She got to know the situation well. At the beginning of April, she went west with a caravan called Black Eagle.

The Black Eagle caravan traveled three times a year on the road to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. Basically, it took about two or three months to go back and forth. It can be said that the people in the caravan are familiar with this route.In addition to the caravan's own martial arts masters, every time they travel, they also hire martial arts experts to protect the safety of the caravan, because the road to the west is not only dangerous in the desert, but the people in the desert are the most dangerous.

"Since three years ago, a group of erratic bandits have appeared in the desert, and the caravans going along this route to the west have more or less been robbed."

Tan Ming, the leader of the Black Hawk caravan, carefully described the dangers he might encounter for the last time, "The gang of bandits committed crimes at an extremely fast speed. We suspect that they have a station in an oasis somewhere, and they are very familiar with the terrain of the desert. Familiar, what's more tricky is that the bandit group is good at using poison. Therefore, whenever we encounter it on the way, the caravan is already stunned before confronting it. They will take advantage of the trend to rob goods, and of course sometimes rob people , especially women. Everyone must cheer up and deal with it carefully."

Speaking of this, Tan Ming looked at a pair of young men and women sitting on the opposite side of the round table. The man's name was Ouyang Feng, who was hired by the caravan.

Generally speaking, people in Jianghu follow the caravan going west, and they will tell the destination in advance, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the team's itinerary, but Ouyang Feng does not have a specific destination. Find an oasis somewhere, maybe leave the caravan at any time, maybe follow the caravan to the end of the trip.

What troubled Tan Ming was that Ouyang Feng took a woman with no knowledge of martial arts, it seemed that they should be husband and wife.The caravan went to the Gobi in the Western Regions, not to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. There was no scenery and flowers on the way, but the wind and sun. I don't know why Ouyang Feng insisted on taking his wife with him.

It's not that women are not allowed to travel in the caravan. There was another woman on this trip. Tan Ming thought it would be more reliable for Le Yuancen, who is good at martial arts, to enter the desert together.But Ouyang Feng didn't listen to the persuasion, Tan Ming had explained all the dangers involved, Ouyang Feng still insisted on walking with his wife, life and death are fate, Tan Ming can't control that much.

Le Yuancen looked at the people sitting on the side of the round table, including her, there were 12 people in total, they were the military guarantee for the black shadow caravan on this trip, seven of them were the caravan's own martial artists, and the other four were temporary foreigners. Another martial artist hired was Ouyang Feng's wife, Wei Li.Wei Li is a very beautiful woman, but this beauty is mixed with sadness between her brows.

Two of them are lamas, they obviously know each other, and they have cooperated with the Black Eagle caravan many times, and this is not the first time they have entered the Gobi of the Western Regions.As for the 27-year-old Ouyang Feng, he has a high nose and deep eyes that don't look like a Han Chinese, and he can be seen at a glance as rebellious, but he is very gentle towards his wife Wei Li.

Le Yuancen didn't know if she was careless, she always felt that there was something abnormal between Ouyang Feng and his wife Wei Li.The two don't look like a normal couple, but rather like lovers who eloped secretly regardless of their family's objections.She had seen such a similar situation in Ting Yulou, but she couldn't explain why, but the relationship between the two was tinged with madness and depression.

Of course, Le Yuancen doesn't care about other people's emotional problems, whether it's elopement, cheating, or being married by a Ming matchmaker, she only hopes that this journey can reach Tianshan safely.

The end point of the caravan was Hai Yali in Xiliao territory, so she didn't have to worry about the rest of the journey, but the bandit group mentioned by captain Tan Ming might encounter it seven or eight days after departure.Because even if the caravan arrived in the Gobi, they needed to walk along the river or the flow of the underground undercurrent, so they couldn't avoid the dangerous area where bandits were infested.

Since there is no way to avoid it, then there is no choice but to go straight up.

The Black Eagle caravan assembled in full suit and entered the desert of the Western Regions, with a total of 30 people in the team.

Le Yuancen was not idle either, she was familiarizing herself with the desert environment all the way, and asked the caravan people for advice from time to time.She can't predict whether she will go deep into the desert again in the future. Even if she doesn't meet the enemy hidden deep in the desert in this life, it's hard to say what she will encounter in the future.

Only those who have been there can understand the dangers of the desert, and if you want to be like a fish in water in the desert, in addition to luck, it is more about experience, and this journey is a good time for her to learn from it.

The people in the caravan get along fairly well, but there are always people who don't fit in. This is Ouyang Feng. Apart from talking with Wei Li, he rarely participates in everyone's chats.

Twelve days have passed since such relatively peaceful days. Everyone acted carefully all the way. Just when the captain Tan Ming thought he was out of the range of the bandit group's attack, the entire caravan seemed to have fallen asleep that night.

The wind blew a little bit fiercely this night, but everyone slept much more heavily than usual.

Le Yuancen had always been resting alertly, but when she opened her eyes suddenly in the tent, she realized that she had really fallen asleep for a while.

At this moment, outside the tent was the sound of unfamiliar footsteps and conversations in Xixia.These people talked about removing the goods and robbing the women in the caravan. They mentioned Wei Li.

At this moment, Le Yuancen felt that the tent was lifted.

She closed her eyes first and pretended to be in a deep sleep, because she couldn't bring up any internal energy in her body at the moment. If she guessed correctly, the gang of robbers most likely used the poison mentioned in the fragments of Shenhezhuang. .Medicine—Sorrowful Crisp Breeze, it is a colorless and odorless gas, which can make people unable to use internal strength, and at the same time cannot use internal strength to force poison.

According to records, the sad crisp breeze comes from Xixia Yipintang.

This organization was formed by the Xixia royal family, but it had been disbanded decades ago, because Xixia's national strength was weakening day by day, and it did not continue to recruit people from the world to become members of Yipintang.

According to the incomplete scroll, it is very difficult to refine Sad Crisp Breeze, it needs to be refined from poisonous substances in the Xixia Daxue Mountain Huanxi Valley.Its antidote is a very smelly gas.However, with the disbandment of Xixia Yipintang, such poison and medicine also disappeared from the world.

Le Yuancen prepared a bottle of antidote by herself based on the toxicity of the poison mentioned in the medical book, but it was not the stench mentioned in the fragment but some pills, and she didn't know if she could prescribe the right medicine.

Tonight, she can give it a try.And she felt that there was a problem with the identity of this group of robbers. Who were they?How can we prepare a sad crisp breeze?What is the relationship with Xixia Yipintang, and where is the headquarters?

It's better to dig deeper, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries.
