The cavalry leader's throat was cut by Qining's knife, and everyone present was shocked.
Several ancient elephant cavalrymen pointed at the corpse of the cavalry leader, shouted a few words, and then got on their horses. Ximen Wuhen saw this and said in a deep voice: "Old Five, leave no one behind!"
Hong Mendao wanted to take action before, but Ximen Wuhen stopped him. Now the group of cavalry was obviously trying to escape, but Ximen Wuhen gave the order to take action. Hong Mendao immediately understood the key, and without hesitation, he stepped forward with his right hand in the shape of a knife. , had already cut into the back of a cavalryman's head. The cavalryman immediately fell to the ground without even making a sound.
Hong Mendao was like lightning. At this time, he was like a wolf that broke into the flock of sheep. He attacked repeatedly. The few cavalrymen had been stabbed by Qining, and all of them were already unable to move. Facing a master like Hong Mendao, they could not move at all. There was no way to fight back. In the blink of an eye, several cavalrymen were dead on the spot, leaving no one alive.
Shi Guluo and other ancient elephant men were even more horrified, and all of them remained silent.
Ximen Wuhen glanced at the corpse on the ground, glanced at Qining again, snorted coldly, and then walked towards Shi Guluo. Passing by Hongmendao, he winked. Hongmendao cupped his hand and took it from his arms. He took out a porcelain bottle, opened it carefully, and carefully poured a little powder on each corpse. Qining was wondering what Hong Mendao was doing, but he only saw the powder after it was stained with the flesh. , but yellow smoke came out of the flesh, and a stench spread instantly.
Qi Ning's face changed slightly as he saw it, only to see the corpses of several cavalrymen melting rapidly.
He instantly understood that he had killed the cavalry leader. Once this group of cavalry escaped, they would inevitably bring more Ancient Elephant soldiers. Although Ximen Wuhen was extremely skilled in martial arts, he was now in the territory of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom. Finding the Ancient Elephant Cavalry is really an extremely troublesome matter. It will probably delay Ximen Wuhen's journey to the Snowy Mountains.
Ximen Wuhen asked Hongmendao to kill all of them, and he even used medicine to dissolve the corpses of these cavalrymen. Naturally, he wanted to destroy the corpses and eliminate any traces to avoid causing big trouble.
After all, if he had not taken action today, or if he had not killed someone, things would have been easier to handle. Since he had killed someone, Ximen Wuhen had no choice but to wipe his own ass.
When those ancient elephant men saw the corpses of the cavalry, they melted into blood instantly, and all of them turned pale.
Ximen Wuhen walked over, and all the ancient elephants lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. However, Shi Guluo had the courage to negotiate with Ximen Wuhen. After a while, Ximen Wuhen came over and said: "Take care of it, let's clean it up immediately. leave."
Although Qi Ning didn't hear what Ximen Wuhen and Shi Guluo were talking about, he could guess that they were just asking Shi Guluo and others to keep this secret.
If the higher-ups knew that several Ancient Elephant Cavalrymen had died here, Shi Guluo and the others would definitely be implicated. Now that Ximen Wuhen had asked Hongmendao to destroy the corpses and eliminate all traces, Shi Guluo and the others only needed to keep their mouths shut.
The three of them did not delay, tidied up, and then mounted their horses and left.
The Snowy Mountain is located to the southwest of Nagqu Sect. The three of them rode non-stop. The air on the plateau was thin, and Central Plains horses might not be able to withstand it. However, the three of them were riding plateau horses, and they were extremely fast.
This day was non-stop, and we saw a lot of herds along the way, but we no longer stayed at the herds.
At noon the next day, the three of them were dismounting from their horses to eat some dry food. Suddenly they heard the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. Ximen Wuhen frowned. Qining followed the sound and saw only a group of black figures in the distance. The shadow gradually approached, people screamed, and dozens of ancient elephant cavalry were rushing towards this direction quickly.
Hong Mendao's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Honor, Shi Guluo betrayed us, are we afraid that the pursuers will come?"
Ximen Wuhen was calm and composed, sneered and said: "I am still too soft-hearted and should not have trusted those people." He sat on the ground eating dry food and had no intention of getting up.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalrymen were approaching. The cavalrymen were well-trained. They moved closer, separated to the left and right, and then surrounded the three of them.
Hong Mendao frowned, clenched his hands into fists, and glanced at Ximen Wuhen. Then Ximen Wuhen stood up, glanced around, and rode up from the crowd. The face mask he wore to cover his mouth and nose was quite special. Others They are all gray, but he is white. He is obviously the leader of this group of cavalry.
Ximen Wuhen stepped forward and saluted with one arm across his chest. The white scarf cavalry asked Ximen Wuhen something in a deep voice, but Ximen Wuhen was very calm. The two of them said a few words, and the white scarf cavalry asked him something. With a wave of his hand, several cavalrymen dismounted from their horses, holding ropes in their hands.
Just as Hong Mendao was about to take action, Ximen Wuhen said in a deep voice: "Don't even take action, let them tie you up."
"God!" Hong Mendao was surprised, and Qi Ning also frowned.
An ancient elephant cavalry came to Ximen Wuhen, but Ximen Wuhen did not make any resistance and allowed the cavalry to tie him up. Hongmendao and Qining looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Ximen Wuhen was selling in his gourd.
Hong Mendao did not dare to disobey Ximen Wuhen's orders, and naturally he would not take action again. Even if Qi Ning wanted to take action, his internal strength was blocked, and he still did not dare to act rashly when facing dozens of ancient elephant cavalry in a single fight.
All three of them had their hands tied, and each of the ancient elephant cavalry looked fierce. Someone approached the white turban cavalry, waved their swords at Qining and the others, and then murmured to the white turban cavalry. After a few words, the white-clothed cavalry looked stern, shook his head, and ordered the three people to be put on the horseback. A group of people surrounded the three people and walked toward the southwest.
Qi Ning then asked Ximen Wuhen: "Shenhou, what did you say to him just now? You should tell us now, right?"
"Shi Guluo didn't betray us, but there were other people who were worried that they would face greater disaster if they didn't report the information, so they reported it secretly." Ximen Wuhen looked calm: "These people were indeed sent to chase us, but They were very suspicious of our identity, so I told them that we were envoys from Dachu, and we were going to the temple to worship on the emperor’s orders. We also said that the emperor had an imperial edict to give to Great Hutuktu.”
"You... are you pretending to preach the imperial edict?"
"They are very familiar with the terrain here. If we follow them, we will arrive at the Sun-Chasing Temple soon." Ximen Wuhen said lightly: "Why not use a ready-made guide? Otherwise, what can we do to kill all these people?"
Qi Ning frowned, thinking that if he really killed all these dozens of cavalry, things would get worse and worse, and he might not be able to get out of the Ancient Xiang Kingdom by then.
"The identity of the envoys always makes them wary." Ximen Wuhen said: "No matter whether they were suspicious or not, they did not dare to do anything to us without permission. They escorted us to the Zhuri Temple to meet the great Hutuktu. Say it again."
"The god seems to be very confident, thinking that Hutuktu will not do anything to us." Qining said: "Could it be that the god has a relationship with Hutuktu?"
Ximen Wuhen ignored it.
The cavalry did not delay too much along the way, but they would find a place to camp at night. The cavalry all carried dry food with them. Although it was simple, they still gave it to Qi Ning and the three of them. However, Qi Ning was really dissatisfied with the food of the Ancient Xiang Kingdom. It's a great adaptation, but I can only make do with it in order to fill my stomach.
For more than one day on the way, the weather became colder and colder. On this day, I suddenly saw a huge mine, and a large number of laborers were mining in the mine. Oxen carts were like clouds, and many ancient elephant soldiers wore scimitars on their waists and held leather in their hands. Whip the overseer.
Qining knew that the ore extracted from this mine should be sent to Zhuri Temple.
From this point of view, it is not far from the Sun-Chasing Temple.
After walking for another day, I saw huge rolling mountains in the distance. Under the sun, they were white-capped. The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mist was floating on the top of the mountain. This scenery alone was breathtaking.
"Where is the Snow Mountain?" Qining sighed: "It's really spectacular."
At this time, I finally understood why it had been getting colder and colder these past two days. We were already heading towards the Snowy Mountains, so the climate was naturally getting colder.
Although I saw the Snowy Mountains, it took me another day to get closer, and finally I saw a huge group of buildings in the distance, with palaces in a row, built at the foot of the Snowy Mountains. Although it was still some distance away, I could already see the carved beams and painted buildings. Majestic and majestic.
"That's Zhuri Temple." Ximen Wuhen said lightly.
Qining saw that although the Zhuri Temple could not be compared with the imperial palace in the Central Plains, it was still huge in scale. He couldn't help but asked: "Honor, this Ancient Elephant Kingdom doesn't seem to be very powerful. I'm afraid that the Zhuri Temple will be... Will it consume the huge financial and human resources of the Ancient Xiang Kingdom?"
"They are willing, so what can you do?" Ximen Wuhen said calmly, but his eyes were also looking at the Sun-Chasing Temple in the distance.
When Qining first heard about the Sun-Chasing Temple from Jebdanba, he thought that the Sun-Zhui Temple was just an ordinary temple, at most larger than an ordinary temple. But then he realized that he They really underestimated the ancient elephant people's respect for Zhuri Dharma King. The length of the Zhuri Temple from east to west is at least ten miles. As you get closer to the Zhuri Temple, you can see that large-scale construction work is being done at both ends of the Zhuri Temple. Obviously, it continues to both sides. No one can predict how big the expansion will eventually be.
I don't know whether it's due to the temple's requirements or the ore from the Ancient Elephant Kingdom. The entire Zhuri Temple is dark gray in color. It doesn't have white marble like in the Central Plains. However, the thick stone pillars stand tall and the eaves are slanted, making it very spectacular.
Arriving in front of the main entrance of Zhuri Temple, a group of people in front of the huge Zhuri Temple were like a drop in the ocean, so small and pitiful.
A spacious square was built in front of the Zhuri Temple. There was indeed a towering stone sculpture in the middle of the square. Qining saw that the stone sculpture was wearing colorful monk robes and a monk's hat. He had his hands clasped together, his face was kind, and his eyes were looking into the distance. , with a look of compassion, surrounded by this huge stone sculpture were stone statues two people tall. Qining could tell at a glance that one of them was the Hutuk Tugong Tashi he had seen.
He immediately understood that the huge stone sculpture was the Dharma King Zhuri, and the four small stone sculptures around him were of course the four great Khutuktu of the Zhuri Temple.
