A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1221

[Chapter 1211 Ancient Elephant]

It was possible for the ugly man to practice the Diamond Sutra, which surprised Qi Ning, but he had already guessed that the ugly man’s origin was unusual, so he was relieved in an instant when he knew that the ugly man was doing something extraordinary.

Could it be that the ugly man is actually a Buddhist disciple?

But how can Buddhist disciples have that precious black cloak?

Ugly itself is a huge mystery, but it is difficult to solve for a while.

“This person was supposed to be a top expert, but his mind is not clear, and he can’t remember his martial arts.” Ximen Wuhen said slowly: “The thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, although he has a mental problem, but his martial arts foundation is solid. Yes, and he is very talented, he can see through other people’s martial arts moves in an instant, and even learn and use them now. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people who can have such ability.”

Qi Ning asked cautiously, “God waiting to be able to do it.

Do you know who he is?”

Ximen Wuhen glanced at him and snorted coldly, but then he was silent for a moment before he said, “I can’t think of how holy he is for a while.” After saying this, he stopped talking. Say something.

The Ugly Man did not cry out that night. Qi Ning guessed that the Ugly Man’s previous howling might be a protest against Ximen Wuhen.

The next morning, Hong Mendao put away the tent, and the three of them continued on their way.

After walking like this for three days, the ugly man has never appeared, but the air has become thinner and thinner, it is difficult to breathe, and the terrain is getting higher and higher, and finally I heard Hongmen Road to Ximen Wuhen said: “God Waiting, we have entered the boundary of the ancient elephant kingdom, and if we walk like this, we will have to walk for at least half a month to Daxue Mountain, and we need to find a few horses.”

In fact, the land that we have traveled in the past few days can be said to be desolate and uninhabited. , can’t see people at all, let alone horses.

In the barren land, there are mountains of gold and silver, and it is difficult to get a horse at this time.

The speed of the horse that was carrying the camel has also slowed down. This horse is not even a good horse. It has been traveling day and night for more than ten days. It has already been exhausted. Fortunately, it is a northwest horse. Now, but now that he has entered the plateau area, even Qi Ning feels a little uncomfortable, not to mention this horse, obviously has a sense of discomfort.

Hong Mendao knew that even if one could persevere, at the current speed, the horse would fall down within two days.

In addition, food and water have also begun to be stretched out.

Although supplies have been supplemented before, they are consumed every day, and the remaining food and water will last at most two or three days. Finding a place to supplement supplies makes things even more troublesome.

“Walk for another two days and you will see people.” Ximen Wuhen raised his head and looked into the distance, the sky was high and the earth was far away, and towering peaks appeared on the horizon in the distance, he raised his hand and knew, “After that mountain, there will be people living there. ”

Although no one was seen, a pack of wolves attacked at night that night. Although the pack of wolves was easily eliminated, the pack of wolves took the lead in attacking the exhausted horse from the very beginning, and the pack was wiped out. , the horse was already lying in a pool of blood.

As a result, even the camel has no leg strength, and can only discard all other objects, leaving only water and dry food.

The mountain seems very close, but it is really a long way to walk there. After walking for a whole day, I arrived at the foot of the mountain, rested overnight, and turned over the mountain early the next morning. This mountain is not really high, but it is very It was steep, and at dusk, after crossing the mountain, looking into the distance, I saw an endless wilderness. There were many cattle and sheep on the wilderness, and there were as many as a dozen tents scattered here and there.

Hong Mendao let out a long sigh and said, “It shouldn’t be a problem to buy a few horses from here.”

After the three went down the mountain, they went straight to the tent, passed a flock of sheep, and saw two shepherds wearing thick robes. The style of the robes was completely different from that in the Central Plains. The two shepherds were both dark-skinned and rough-skinned, with a lot of braids on their buns. Seeing the three of Qi Ning passing by, they all looked at them with strange eyes. with three people.

“This is the border area of the ancient elephant kingdom.” Ximen Wuhen finally said: “This is the Nagqu sect, the ancient elephant kingdom set up sects, their sects are like our county, but each sect is bigger than our county. As far as I know, there are a total of ninety-eight cases in this ancient elephant kingdom, and the territory is also very vast, but the population is sparse, and it is far less lively than the Central Plains.”

Qi Ning thought that Ximen Wuhen knew so much about the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and it seemed that this old guy might have been there.

The three of them walked towards a larger tent, and suddenly heard a whistle sound. Above the wilderness, the whistle was very loud. Qi Ning followed the sound and saw another ancient elephant man blowing not far away. Whistle, but a pair of eyes are watching this side very alertly.

The whistle sounded, and soon there were people coming out of several nearby tents.

Qi Ning and Hong Mendao looked at each other, and saw that the group of people gathered together quickly, and soon several people came to this side, Qi Ning saw that the group of people were very old, the youngest looked like He was also in his fifties, and he didn’t even see a young man around.

He felt strange, but when he saw an old elephant walking towards him, with his arms on his chest, he bowed slightly, and then said a few words to this side, but he spoke the language of ancient elephants. However, Ning couldn’t understand what he was talking about, and when he saw Hong Mendao’s blank face, it was obvious that Hong Mendao didn’t understand either.

There are very few exchanges between the Ancient Elephant Kingdom and the Central Plains. Although there are trade exchanges between the two sides, mainly merchants in the northwest region have trade with the Ancient Elephant Kingdom. Dachu is located in the south, but has almost no contact with the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, so There are very few people who are proficient in the language of ancient elephants in the Chu Kingdom, and there are not many people who are proficient in the language of the Central Plains in the ancient elephant kingdom.

Qi Ning was thinking about whether the two sides should use gestures to communicate, but saw Ximen Wuhen go forward and communicate with the old elephant in ancient elephant language.

Ximen Wuhen’s ancient elephant language is not fluent, but from the expression on the old man’s face, it can be seen that there is not much obstacle to the communication between the two sides.

Qi Ning was stunned. Although he had guessed that Ximen Wuhen must have been to the Ancient Elephant Kingdom in the past, he did not expect that he could actually communicate with people in the Ancient Elephant Language. It is a very deep research on the ancient elephant country.

He didn’t believe that Ximen Wuhen said that he came to Daxueshan to plead guilty to the Dharma King Zuri. At this time, he was even more certain that Ximen Wuhen brought himself to the Ancient Elephant Country this time, which must have a great purpose.

Ximen Wuhen chatted with the old man for a while, and then when he saw Ximen Wuhen, he turned around and asked, “Old fifth, do you have any money on your body?”

Hong Mendao immediately took the silver bag and handed it over, but Ximen Wuhen was very generous and handed the silver bag to the old man. The old man immediately shook his head and said a few more words. The piece of silver was given to the old man, and the rest was returned to Hong Mendao.

Qi Ning could see that Ximen Wuhen should have made a deal with the old man, but the old man was very honest and did not accept all the money because of Ximen Wuhen’s generosity, but just took what he deserved.

“They can provide us with three horses, and then give us some food and water.” Ximen Wuhen said: “It’s getting late, we don’t have to hurry, rest here for a night, and he will prepare some for us. The tent allows us to rest, and we can leave early tomorrow morning.”

Both Qi Ning and Hong Mendao returned the salute to the old man in the way that the old man saluted.

The tent provided by the old elephant is very spacious, not to mention three people, even if it can accommodate seven or eight people, it is easy to accommodate seven or eight people. Not only that, they also specially brought dinner. Although it is not very rich, the food has characteristics different from the Central Plains.

When they were full of wine and food, they saw a voice coming from outside the tent. The three of them went out of the tent. When they saw the old man waiting outside, the old man said to Ximen Wuhen, and then pointed at the old man. Not far away, I saw that three horses had been prepared there. These were plateau horses, which were different from northwest horses.

It was the first time that Qi Ning saw a plateau horse, and he couldn’t help but walk over and admire the horse. The three horses were also brought by an elderly man in his 60s. Seeing Qi Ning watching the horses with great interest , actually said in a somewhat jerky Central Plains dialect: “This is…the best horse we have here, it is fast and can…climb mountains!”

Qi Ning said in surprise: “You can speak the Central Plains dialect? ”

When I was young, I went to your place.” The man said, “I learned a little bit, but I’m not very familiar with it.”

When Qi Ning heard him speak the Central Plains dialect, he felt a sense of intimacy, but at this time, he saw Ximen Wuhen and The old elephant was talking not far away, and then he asked the man, “You went to the Central Plains for business?”

The man nodded and said, “I have been with the caravan when I was young. I have been to the big city. It’s called… Yes, Xianyang, I have been to Xianyang. It’s very big, there are many people!” He opened his arms and made big movements.

“Not bad, Xianyang.” Qi Ning laughed and said, “Xianyang is very big, you can take a look again.”

The man shook his head and said, “I’m too old, I can’t go, there is no team to go…! ‘ with a very regretful expression.

Qi Ning asked, “What’s the name of the old man?”

“Samba!” The man said, “My name is Samba, UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com Little Samba has become an old Samba, hahaha…!”

Qi Ning’s mood has been extremely depressed these days. At this time, he heard the cheerful old man speak, and his mood improved a lot. He smiled and said, “Semba is a good name, by the way, why can’t you see young people here? Why are they all old? ?”

Samba originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard Qi Ning’s question, his expression suddenly darkened, and his eyebrows even showed a trace of anger, but he didn’t speak.

“Shouldn’t I ask this?” Qi Ning thought that he had offended the other party, and hurriedly said: “If I say something wrong, don’t take offense, don’t be angry, I won’t ask again.”

“Palace!” Samba lowered his voice , pointed to the southwest direction: “There are palaces over there, young people are going to build palaces, and they need many, many people, and cattle and horses. Many cattle and horses are gone, and they still need…!” In Qi Ning’s ear, he whispered, “Women, young women, they are all going to the palace, they are all gone!”
