The chief had already burst into tears, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Engong, for helping to bury brother Shasi. We, the Kaergai tribe, will never forget what Engong has done today. Please come and rest in our tribe. Let us show our friendship as landlords." The villagers automatically moved out of the way. Hai Long was really hungry. He had been eating and sleeping in the open these days, and he also wanted to find a place to have a good rest. Turning his head to look at Hongzhi, he walked towards the tribe surrounded by the villagers.
The tribes in the Western Regions are hospitable, what's more, Hai Long is their great benefactor, each family brought their best things to entertain Hai Long and the two, cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for a while, it was extremely busy.
To Hai Long's astonishment, Hong Zhi couldn't wait to tear up a leg of lamb and chewed it as soon as he had dinner at night. Looking at his greasy hands, he still looked like a monk.
"Hey, I'm talking about Xiaozhi, aren't you Buddhist practitioners all vegetarian?" Hai Long asked suspiciously.
Hongzhi chewed the delicious mutton, with a satisfied expression on his face, he said: "Our Zen is not taboo about these things. Master, the old man likes wine and meat the most. When I practiced with him, he would go out to buy things every once in a while. His old man It is often said that wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in the heart. The practice of Buddhism does not have to be too formal. As long as you believe in the Buddha devoutly, it is okay to eat some wine and meat. Wow, brother, this mutton tastes really good, it is fragrant and delicious. It's tender, and it's much more delicious than the meat brought back by the master. You can eat it too!" As he spoke, he immediately drank a large glass of kumiss.
Hai Long stared at him dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "So you are still a wine and meat monk. But, I like it. I hate the restrained life the most. Eat, eat more."
Seeing Hai Long and the two eating and drinking, the chief of the Kaergai tribe immediately smiled and toasted to the two of Hai Long. Hai Long is born with a large capacity for alcohol, but the kumiss has little aftertaste. After drinking dozens of cups, he is still not drunk , while eating, he asked the chief: "Do you know that there is a Lianyun Mountain in our Western Region?"
The chief was stunned for a moment, and said: "It seems to be there. Engong, where are you going? Why don't you stay with us for a few more days. Although we are not very rich here, we guarantee that you can eat fresh beef and mutton every day." For the young man in front of him, he has a good impression from the bottom of his heart. And from a selfish point of view, if Hai Long can stay here for a long time, it will only be good for the tribe.
Hai Long shook his head and said, "I still have to go back quickly. That's my home! Chief, think about it carefully, as long as you can tell me the general direction of Lianyun Mountain."
The chief sighed, knowing that he couldn't force it to stay, and said: "Grandfather, to tell you the truth, there is a treasure in our clan. With it, you will be able to find Lianyun Mountain. Wait a minute, I will go and find it." Come." After speaking, he turned around and left the tent, and after a while, turned back with a leather scroll.
Handing over the leather scroll with both hands, he said: "Grandfather, this is a treasure handed down from our clan, I will give it to you." Hai Long was taken aback, thinking, could it be that the treasure map is not there? If it is true, you will be developed. Thinking of this, I quickly received it. The chief explained: "This is a map of the whole Western Regions, which our ancestors obtained by accident. It's just that there were no names on it. The ancestors of our Kaergai tribe marked some known place names as they continued to explore. Just now I took a look, and there is no Lianyun Mountain you mentioned. But there are many mountains and rivers on this map. If you are familiar with the terrain there, you should be able to find the exact location. I can help you, just So many."
Although Hai Long was a little disappointed, he also knew that this was what he needed most, so he opened the scroll while thanking him. This is a map made of sheepskin. The workmanship is very exquisite. Although it is obviously a very old thing, it is not damaged in the slightest. The terrain of various mountains and rivers is drawn on the map, and some of them are indeed marked.
Hong Zhi came over curiously, looked at the map and said, "This is really a treasure, and how much experience it takes to draw it! I think it might be done by a fairy."
Hai Long glanced at him and said: "Where are there so many immortals? Even us cultivators can draw them in a very long time if we make up our minds. Chief, thank you very much, but this map is too precious , you just need to give us a copy of the above."
The chief shook his head and said: "Without the two benefactors, I am afraid that our Karga tribe would not exist. We have kept a few copies for ourselves, which is enough. You must accept this original treasure! Otherwise , Our clansmen will blame me too. We, the Karga tribe, have never been stingy when dealing with friends."
Hai Long nodded and said, "Then I'm not going to be polite, thank you, Chief."
That night, driven by the drunkenness, Hai Long and Hong Zhi went to bed early. In the early morning, before dawn, Hong Zhi was pulled up from the bed by Hai Long.
Rubbing his hazy eyes and looking out of the window, Hong Zhi said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Hai Long, it's not yet dawn, what are you doing with me, let me sleep for a while."
Hai Long tapped Hong Zhi's bald head, and said: "Why don't you sleep, hurry up and leave. The people in this tribe are too enthusiastic, if we leave during the day, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."
"Oh" Hongzhi got up helplessly, stretched himself, and put his cassock on his body. Hai Long urged mana into the Qiankun Ring, took out a few things from it, then grabbed the map on the table, and Hongzhi Quietly left the tribe. While walking, Hai Long asked Hong Zhi, "Can you fly?"
Hongzhi nodded and said, "Of course I can? But big brother, don't you think it's good for our practice to walk like this? I once read in a book left by the master that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Since it is To travel, of course you have to walk. Ah! By the way, big brother, what did you leave in the tribe, it seems to be a few pieces of paper."
Hai Long chuckled, and said: "You don't understand. What I left behind is a bank note, which is ten thousand taels of silver note, which can be exchanged for many things. We ate so many things yesterday, and took another You have to give me something in return for your map. That village is already poor enough." In fact, Hai Long doesn't have such a good heart. His style has always been to harm others and benefit himself. Like something, and was moved by Sausage's behavior, that's why I did this. What Hai Long didn't know was that as early as last night, Hongzhi had imposed the ban on the entire village with a curse. Even if there were any evil things like ghouls invading, they would surely return without success.
Hongzhi looked at Hai Long with admiration, and said, "Brother, you are so thoughtful, I didn't even think about it! It's my luck to follow you."
Hai Long proudly said: "Of course, I am the smartest person in the world. Before I wake you up in the morning, I have already found the approximate location of Lianyun Mountain. This is also the first time I have gone out of the mountain. It is really difficult to find it back. Easy!" As he spoke, he spread out the map, pointed to a place below and said, "This is our current location, if you look up, on the top of the map, the place replaced by the cloud symbol should be We are in the Lianyun Mountain Range, after all, except for people from our sect, it is impossible for outsiders to enter there. I can’t say for sure, but it’s pretty close.”
Hong Zhi said happily: "That's good! Let's go back to your Lian Yunzong as soon as possible. Even your elder brother is so powerful, so isn't your teacher a man of gods?"
Hai Long took it for granted: "That's right, our place is a fairyland on earth. When you arrive, you will understand. By the way, what kind of person is your master? How did he pass away?"
Hongzhi said sadly: "Master was very kind to me. I can't remember clearly when I was a child. I seemed to have no parents at that time. I was taken away by the master when I was wandering on the street. Afterwards, I followed the master all the time. Practicing in the mountains, about a hundred years ago, the master suddenly told me that his time had come, and he died in the mountains. He walked very peacefully as an old man. When he was dying, he told me that he never had the final state of Dzogchen His courage and determination are not strong enough, so he is not suitable for further cultivation. He can only choose to sit on a stone to preserve his Buddhist thoughts. Maybe thousands of years later, when his Buddhist thoughts are solidified, he will be able to live again. The master said that I am a Buddhist practitioner. Genius, let me go out of the mountain after a hundred years of retreat, and then passed away. I am really sad, the master is my only relative, and when he dies, I become a person. However, the Buddha treated me very well, yesterday Let me meet you again, big brother, and I will rely on you again in the future, big brother, thank you for letting me stay by your side."
Hai Long's heart trembled slightly. He knew that he just wanted to take advantage of Hongzhi, and he didn't want to help him at all. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of depression rose in his heart. He turned around abruptly and said, "Let's go." After finishing speaking , urging the mana, and quickly moved towards the distance. Hongzhi looked at Hai Long's back, sighed softly, and said, "Brother, following you may be my most important experience trip." The yellow Buddha light lit up, but he was not gesticulating, and he had already chased behind Hai Long, just floating like that Follow Hai Long forward.
With a clear direction, it is much easier to move forward. According to the map, they have already traveled one-tenth of the distance to the Lianyun Mountains in one day.
Hongzhi stopped walking with a sad face, and said: "Brother, this remote village doesn't even have a place to shelter from the wind. What are we going to eat tonight! I'm already hungry."
Hai Long smiled and said: "You look like a Buddhist practitioner. I don't think you have eliminated the six desires of the ordinary family. You don't forget to eat, drink, and sleep. Don't you know what is the purity of the six senses? If now I let you eat and drink all day long, so don't blame me for causing your cultivation to stagnate in the future."
After following Hai Long for a day, Hong Zhi seemed to be infected by him, he laughed and said: "When I practiced, my six sense organs were pure, and it's okay to be free on weekdays. Only in this way can I concentrate my mind more! I really want to Eat another meal like yesterday, hey, when I think of the oily mutton, I, I will... "
Hai Long said angrily: "Okay, don't get intoxicated, let's rest here today. After running for a day, I'm already a little tired." Saying that, he sat down on the ground.
Hongzhi blinked and said: "Brother, isn't it? It's right here. Why don't you find a small forest or a place behind a hillside. The night on the plateau is very cold. Look at my fair skin, Can you have the heart to let me freeze?" Hai Long snorted disdainfully, then lay flat on the ground and said, "Come on, don't you think I don't know that you have already reached the level of invulnerability to cold and heat? You have no place to live, you have never eaten or drank, and it will not affect you."
Hong Zhi sat aside in dissatisfaction, and said, "Even if my Buddha power can reach the level you said, then I am willing to eat and sleep well! After all, you are also my elder brother, so you should take care of me." After finishing speaking, An angry person is lucky there, and the character of a child is undoubtedly revealed.
Now Hai Long really didn't dare to offend the bodyguard he tricked, turned over and sat up, leaned to Hong Zhi's side, and said, "Why, are you angry?"
Hongzhi turned his head to ignore him, Hai Long smiled, grabbed the void with his right hand, and suddenly a fat and tender chicken leg appeared in his hand, took a bite hard, and said vaguely: "Hey, this chicken leg is really delicious! It's a pity that there is Everyone is full, so there's no need to eat." As he spoke, he stuffed the chicken legs into his stomach in two mouthfuls. All this was in Hongzhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. With his cultivation base, he didn't even see where Hai Long's chicken leg came from. Judging from the fragrance from the chicken leg, it was by no means imitated by mana. What comes, but the real deliciousness. Swallowing and spitting, Hongzhi tentatively said: "Brother, do you still have any chicken drumsticks? Can I have one for my little brother too. I'm really hungry!"
