King Ackler first settled Chen Xing in a stone house, fed the horses, and went out again in a blink of an eye.
Chen Xing was used to communicating with him by gestures most of the time, talking with ducks and chickens, without asking him what to do, just said: "I'll go shopping in the city."
He has always liked to go to a place, so he wandered around. As the Chinese New Year approached, he only had three years left to live, what else could he do if he had no desires and no desires? Only by seeing and seeing everywhere, increasing knowledge and knowledge. King Ackler gave him a necklace of wolf teeth, which was covered with colorful jewels, to the effect of distinguishing his identity, so that he would not be robbed by the Huns.
Four hundred years, a full four hundred years, the traces of war in the Han Dynasty have been gently smoothed out by time, and the center of the city built by the black stone is the former Hun court. The Huns, the Rourans, and even the Tiele people all occupied this place, and Chen Xing walked towards the palace of the stone barrier in the wind and snow, as if he could still see the glory of the past.
A group of Huns were heating the fire in the royal court. When they saw a Han man, they looked around curiously for a while, and someone greeted him to drink. Chen Xing simply said hello, went back to get some dry food, and distributed it to them.
"What is this place?" Chen Xing turned around and suddenly saw a square tower deep in the Royal Garden.
The Huns also did not understand what Chen Xing said, and the communication between the two parties could only be done by drawing. Standing in front of the tower, Chen Xing noticed the pattern of stone bricks on the ground...
This is a magic circle! It's a defensive wall!
Chen Xing stepped forward immediately, but he didn't expect to see the ruins set up by the exorcist before the death of all methods!
What is this defensive wall for
Different from the world in the mirror, this is the first time he has seen such a magic circle in reality.
In front of the square tower is a stone gate weighing more than 10,000 catties. Chen Xing tried several times to push it open, but the stone gate did not move at all. In addition, the entire tower in the center of the magic circle was completely sealed, and there was no window.
There must be a magic weapon in it, Chen Xing thought, forget it, let's not touch it.
There is a small spiritual lock painted with gold juice on the stone gate. Chen Xing recognized that it should be used to open the door. The person who repaired the tower designed it quite ingeniously. Mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and inject it into the door along the spiritual lock, and the door may be opened.
When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovers, maybe you can come back and take a look. Chen Xing is confident that he can open the lock.
King Akler came back, carrying a hunted deer, and several Huns who were roasting in the royal court went to help him roast meat. King Akler was obviously still a little old, out of breath, and chased after the deer. For a long time, I was too tired to sit in front of the bonfire for a while. Then, noticing Chen Xing's worried eyes, he smiled at him.
Chen Xing couldn't help thinking, if my father was still there, it should be like this.
Once in Jinyang, my father had a son at the age of forty, and he was very fond of him. But instead of pampering him as an embroidered pillow, he often warned him that now the world is in chaos, the world is difficult, dynasties are rising and falling, wars have been fought for years, Hu and Han have conquered and killed each other, but it is the common people who suffer. When a man is alive, he stands in the sky and stands on the ground, nothing more than self-cultivation, family order, governance of the country, and peace of the world. Remember not to fall into hatred and set off Hu-Han disputes with your own personal grudges.
In addition, you must be upright and respectful, and come to the sun to shine on the lintel of the Chen family.
This also enabled Chen Xing to cultivate an excellent temperament after reading the book of sages and sages. It stands to reason that first self-cultivation and then balancing the family, then governing the country and pacifying the world, when the responsibility of "pacifying the world" was imposed on him, Chen Xing had little doubt and accepted it as a matter of course.
King Ackler gasped for a while, and finally got better.
"When you're old, don't bother," Chen Xing said. "It's the same with dry food."
King Ackler didn't understand, but he smiled and signaled that it was all right. Chen Xing felt a little sour as he unfolded the map to confirm how much time they needed.
"Yutuo, my son," said King Akler suddenly in broken Chinese, "I will come to protect you, you, be fine."
Chen Xing: "…"
King Akler said, "I can't ignore it, thank you, thank you."
Chen Xing's eyes suddenly became wet, these few Chinese sentences should have been learned from the princess.
"Thank you, Chen Xing." King Ackler took the roasted deer leg and gave it to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing nodded and smiled reluctantly.
When wolves roared outside Yelong City, Chen Xing couldn't help worrying. He was afraid that he would encounter a pack of wild wolves when they hit the road the next day. Fortunately, King Ackler was very good at archery and could always escape in time when the horses were frightened.
But listening to this voice, I could feel that there were wolves everywhere. In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, it was difficult to find food on the snowy plains. The wolves formed in groups, trying to compete with the barbarians living in the city for stuttering.
In the early morning of the next day, the wolf howling stopped, King Akler said nothing and continued on the road, but he was very alert along the way. After leaving Longcheng, enter the Balikun Great Lake area, cross the frozen lake, and then go north, the woods gradually increase, and sometimes the mountains and plains are full of smog, and the two of them move forward in the forest, and at night in the cave. Over the night, I saw that the eight hundred miles road was gradually approaching the end.
And the Kaluosha, which only exists in rumors, has yet to be seen. The snow is misty and misty. King Akler has taken Chen Xing to a place that is inaccessible. Except for snow or snow, there are only short periods of time every year. During the three months of spring and summer, the two often did not speak a word all day long.
Until one night when he was sleeping under the tree, the snow stopped, the world was extremely quiet, the stars and rivers twinkled in the night sky, Chen Xing looked at the map, thinking that he should not be wrong, and always headed in the direction of the North Star.
King Akler's grey beard has grown longer, and his deep blue eyes are always watching the bonfire. Chen Xing put away the map and was about to go to sleep when he heard a low wolf howl at the end of the distant mountain, followed by a wolf howl in all directions.
"A lot of wolves." Chen Xing said.
King Ackler made the bonfire even more vigorous, indicating that there is no need to be afraid and sleep.
"Ackler," Chen Xing said, "have you been here?"
King Akler didn't understand, shook his head, made a bed for Chen Xing, and let him sleep.
"Thank you." Chen Xing said.
"Thank you." King Akler didn't know much Chinese, so he could only say this sentence.
Chen Xing was lying on his side, and the wolf howls made him so upset that he couldn't sleep for a long time.
"Stop screaming!" Chen Xing got up frantically and shouted.
King Ackler hissed and made a gesture, indicating that there was a hillside in the distance, so as not to cause an avalanche.
Chen Xing had to lie down again, and suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the ground - that was exactly what Xiang Shu heard about the army of living corpses, the sound was extremely weak, but it made him vigilant.
King Ackler was sitting vigil at night, and Chen Xing immediately motioned him to listen to the ground. When King Ackler leaned over, Chen Xing saw green lights appear around him, like fireflies cruising back and forth.
"What is that?" Chen Xing said, "In the winter, there is Yingying..." He immediately realized that it was the eyes of a wolf! The wolves are here!
King Akler got up slowly, looked around, and threw all the firewood into the bonfire at one time, added ghee, and the flames suddenly rose into the sky. Thousands of wolves surrounded them and kept backing away. Chen Xing became nervous, but King Ackler said something.
"What?" Chen Xing said, "I don't understand!"
King Akler bent his bow and arrow, and the wolves wandered around the bonfire, but they were afraid of the flames and did not dare to get too close.
King Ackler shook his head, indicating that Chen Xing didn't need to worry. Chen Xing also knew that as long as there was fire, the wolf would not get too close, and they all came this way.
However, a figure swept across the head, and then suddenly a large plume of snow fell from the tree in the high place, crashing on the bonfire.
Just hearing another "woo-" sound from the back, as if the alpha wolf was urging, King Ackler immediately aimed at the source of the sound and fired an arrow!
The arrow shot into the darkness, and before he could shoot the arrow again, the wolves rushed towards them when the bonfire was extinguished!
King Ackler immediately stepped back and shouted at Chen Xing. Chen Xing guessed that he was told to run quickly, and immediately grabbed the bow and arrow and shot it into the woods!
The wolves rushed up and engulfed the two of them immediately, but the target was King Ackler!
The surroundings fell into darkness, and King Akler roared and struggled.
"Ackler!" Chen Xing shouted, and immediately raised his hand, bursting out the light of the heart lamp.
The wolves seemed to be startled and backed away. Chen Xing turned back to look for the horse, but the horse had no idea where it had gone. There were wolves everywhere.
A black shadow descended from the sky, Chen Xing heard the movement and raised his head suddenly, an iron claw shining with cold light reached his throat.
At that moment, a familiar voice shouted: "Lie down!"
Chen Xing leaned up subconsciously, the iron claw rubbed his face and swung it diagonally, a strange light flickered on the claw, and then a sword came from behind, held up the iron claw, swung it out, and threw the assassin on the tree fiercely, Accompanied by an angry shout, the whole tree broke off, and fell down with white snow!
"Xiang Shu?!" Chen Xing said, "Xiang Shu! Why are you here?"
"Idiot!" Xiang Shu said angrily, "I chased after you for seven days! Go to the tree!"
Chen Xing climbed up, slipped down, climbed up, slipped down, climbed up, slipped down, climbed up, slipped down, climbed up, slipped down... Xiang Shu finally lost his patience and kicked him in the waist, kicking him up the tree, Chen Xing hugged the tree tightly, continued to climb up, and shouted down: "Look for Ackler!"
Xiang Shu swept away the big sword, and the surrounding trees were broken and collapsed in an earth-shattering manner. The wolves fled in all directions, leaving Chen Xing holding a nearly three-meter-long pine tree, dangling from the top of the tree.
"Behind!" Chen Xing saw it, was it a human or a monster? !
The assassin was very short, less than half the height of Xiang Shu. He used both hands and feet. He rushed from the snow and was behind Xiang Shu in the blink of an eye. Xiang Shu immediately turned around, blocked the horizontal sword, and made a "ding" sound of gold and iron. In the blink of an eye, the shadow swept behind Xiang Shu again and grabbed towards the back of his neck!
The speed is too fast! Chen Xing thought that Xiang Shu's speed was unmatched, but he didn't expect the black shadow to fly up on the snow. Xiang Shu turned and turned again. on his back!
Chen Xing wrapped his feet around the tree, rubbed a snowball, and threw it at the bottom.
A snowball flew in and hit the shadow in the face. Xiang Shu shouted angrily, grabbed the shadow, and threw him out!
"It's a monster!" Chen Xing said, "wait for me to come down and help you!"
The black shadow was finally seen by Xiang Shu, only to see the half-wolf half-man, a human face emerged from the wolf's mouth, roared hoarsely at Xiang Shu, then looked up at Chen Xing on the tree, and flew towards him Going away, the iron claws hooked the tree, and in the blink of an eye, it leaped nearly ten feet high. Xiang Shu immediately chased after him, but Chen Xing didn't dare to jump down, only to see that the enemy was already in front of him.
"You are..." In a hurry, Chen Xing took a light of his heart to see the whole picture of this guy.
It's not a wolf demon, it's not a monster, it's a person!
It's a child!
The child's eyes were first shaken by the white light, then he blocked his eyes with his arms, and waved his iron claws. Under the light of the heart lamp, the claws showed a peculiar rune.
The claws were phosphorescent and in the shape of dragon claws. Few of the claw weapons in the world have the shape of dragon claws, and the golden inscription printed on the dragon claws... For some reason, Chen Xing recalled the records in ancient books for no reason. .
The ancient dragon god fell in the far north of China, and its claws were obtained by the public transport class and refined into a divine weapon on earth, named...
The sky is torn apart!
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "Why do you have..."
"and many more!"
"Roar!"
"Listen to me!" Chen Xing said frantically, "Listen to me! Damn child!"
The child was dressed in the wolf skin of a green wolf, made a hat with a wolf head, pinched the tree trunk with both feet, and slashed Chen Xing's throat with one claws.
Xiangshu under the tree sent arrows and arrows, and the child abandoned Chen Xing without turning his head.
"I said! Listen to me!" Chen Xing burst out, grabbed a handful of snow, and slapped the child on the face.
Perhaps Chen Xing's behavior was too bad, but the child didn't take precautions at all. He didn't expect to be hit like this, and suddenly lost his balance and fell from the tree. Xiang Shu chased under the tree, but the child flew in mid-air, rolled, leaped several meters, landed steadily in the snow, and raised his head slightly.
"Ow—" The child raised his head to the sky and let out a wolf howl.
The wolves retreated one after another. Xiang Shu was taking off his bow and arrow. In the blink of an eye, the child with the wolves had retreated cleanly and disappeared into the woods.
Chen Xing: "…"
Xiang Shu was panting, just outside the forest, when the horses ran away in fright.
Chen Xing: "It's a person! It's a child!"
Xiang Shu said impatiently, "I see! I'm not blind!"
Chen Xing chased to Xiang Shu's side, looked in the direction the wolves were leaving, and said, "And he's not wearing any clothes! He doesn't seem to understand what we're saying."
Xiang Shu lost his temper, put the weapon on his back, grabbed Chen Xing by the collar, pushed him aside, and roared, "Why did you run out of Chilechuan without saying a word! In your eyes?"
"Uh..." Chen Xing realized the serious problem and replied, "You... don't be angry, I just don't want you... "
These days, Xiang Shu started from Chilechuan, but he couldn't catch up with King Ackler and Chen Xing. The heavy snow covered the horseshoe prints, and King Akle was an extremely experienced old hunter. Xiang Shu chased him to the shore of Lake Balikun, always a little behind the two of them.
The more I chased Xiang Shu along the way, the more angry I became. After catching up with Chen Xing at the beginning, I scolded him, turned into a slap in the face, and then as my patience wore off, now I just want to hang him up and bow left and right. A few slaps.
Chen Xing suddenly laughed and said, "That's great! I'm so happy!"
Saying that, Chen Xing stepped forward, hugged Xiang Shu's waist, buried his head in front of him, and said, "That's great!"
"Go away!" Xiang Shu was almost insane, grabbing Chen Xing and dragging him away.
Chen Xing explained with a smile: "King Akler said he can lead me on the way, I don't want to cause you any more trouble... Wait! Where's King Akler?"
Both of them suddenly remembered, and immediately followed the direction of the previous wolf pack. Xiang Shu lowered his head to recognize the footprints on the snow, but the ground was full of clutter. Chen Xing chased after the extinguished bonfire and said seriously: "This is it! Finally heard His voice..."
What Chen Xing was most afraid of was seeing King Ackler's body, but luckily he didn't. In the dark night, Xiang Shu said, "If he dies, this account will be charged to you!"
Chen Xing: "…"
Chen Xing was a little overwhelmed for a while, standing in the snow, Xiang Shu was very angry at Chen Xing's behavior of leaving Chilechuan without authorization, he was so angry that he didn't choose to say anything. King Le himself escorted Chen Xing all the way north to find the truth, how could he blame him
Xiang Shu saw Chen Xing's expression on the verge of crying, and suddenly felt very guilty.
"No," Chen Xing quickly recovered, fighting back, and said, "The wolf pack is not to eat us, but to follow along. I guess it must have something to do with the child. They won't kill people indiscriminately. Ake Le! Are you there?!"
Xiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind Chen Xing. Chen Xing walked through the woods with one foot and one foot shallowly, shouting everywhere. No one was found, but he found the horses that had been lost earlier.
Xiang Shu whistled, and his horse returned.
This is the border of the woods, the footprints of the wolves lead into the distance, and the sky has gradually lighted up, illuminating the vast snow field.
Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said, "Let's catch up and have a look." The two got on their horses and galloped for nearly half a mile in the wilderness. The sky was bright, and Xiang Shu suddenly said, "Wait. Wait!"
Chen Xing was finally relieved to see King Akler's wolf tooth necklace lying quietly in the snow. In this way, it was captured by the wolves.
"Ackler!" Chen Xing looked around and shouted.
"No one else is called Akler!" Xiang Shu said, "Ackler is a family name!"
Chen Xing: "Oh... Then what's his name?"
Chen Xing held the necklace, thinking that he would rescue King Ackler no matter what. Along the way, they established a kind of strange friendship. This middle-aged man experienced the pain of losing his son. , and even treat the young man Chen Xing as a child. No matter what, Chen Xing must let him go back alive.
Xiang Shu also didn't know the name of King Akler, so after thinking for a while, he had to change the subject and said, "Let's go."
"You obviously don't know it yourself." Chen Xing said, then mounted his horse and chased after the retreat of the wolves.
Item Description: "Hey!"
Chen Xing: "?"
Chen Xing was on the horse and glanced at Xiang Shu.
Xiang Shu: "Don't you believe me?"
Chen Xing: "I just don't want to make it difficult for you! You are a big danyu of the Chile League, and you are making trouble again. With so many people, how can you just leave it behind?"
Xiang Shu: "Who said that the law should protect you?"
Chen Xing: "Do you mean to be my Dharma protector? I can't afford you! Da Chanyu!"
Xiang Shu said in disbelief: "I chased 800 miles away! Can't you say something nice? Okay! I'll go back now!"
Chen Xing still has anxiety in his heart, who is the child, why is there such a powerful magic weapon in his hand, and he has no clue. Hearing this, he looked at Xiang Shu, and suddenly his heart moved, vaguely aware of his intention to say this. .
Xiang Shu apologized to him.
"Thank you then." Chen Xingpi said with a smile.
Item description: "… "
Xiang Shu rode the horse and wanted to take Chen Xing from the horse's back to teach him a lesson, but Chen Xing urged the horse and rushed away. Xiang Shu said in surprise, "Is the horse riding so stable?"
"Ackler taught me!" Chen Xing said, "You shoot me with an arrow!"
Xiang Shu rode the horse, and caught up with Chen Xing in a blink of an eye. The two galloped side by side on the snowy field, but the horses didn't obey their orders, especially the old brown horse, who tried to break free from the reins from time to time, and the more he ran, the more he strayed. , and Xiang Shu, who was leading the horse, also went to the northeast.
"This horse is crazy!" Xiang Shu was furious, "Come back!"
"What are you doing with the horse?" Chen Xing turned to look at Xiang Shu, and saw that the old horse kept running eastward, while Xiang Shu was pulling hard, and he had nowhere to go out in one breath, and dragged the old horse back.
Xiang Shu: "Let it go! What a stubborn person!"
Xiang Shu was scolding the horse, and insinuated that Chen Xing naturally understood it. Xiang Shu was taking out the dagger and was about to cut off the reins, but Chen Xing said, "That's your mother's horse, if you don't want it, just let it go. What's the matter with me?"
"What?" Xiang Shu was startled and said, "Impossible! Where did you get it?"
Chen Xing relayed what the princess said, Xiang Shu was even more puzzled and said, "Is this the horse she rode when she first came to the north?"
"Maybe." Chen Xing saw that the old horse gradually quieted down, and started running with the team again.
Xiang Shu said, "Where does it want to go?"
Chen Xing naturally didn't know that the sun had risen, the sky and the earth were bright and bright, and the white flowers in the snow were very dazzling. Fortunately, there was no more snow that night, and the paw prints of the wolves were clearly discernible, crossing the vast plain. To the far end of the line of sight.
And there, the sacred mountain in the legend of the Huns finally appeared in the snow and fog.
A long and narrow mountain range of dozens of miles stood up, white clouds lingered among the snow-capped peaks, and the entire mountain range seemed to be split into three sections by lightning, revealing narrow cliffs.
In front of the cliff, there is a lake that covers thousands of slopes, reflecting the blazing sunlight like a mirror.
On both sides of the cliff, the white snow was covered with black spots, squatting on a high place—
- Tens of thousands of black wolves.
The horses began to panic and backed away.
