"Okay, then I'm going to bed." The fat man opened the door and went out.
Nanfeng also followed.
The fat man was confused and asked, "What are you doing out here?"
"What else can you do? Sleep." Nanfeng went to the next door.
"I can't sleep," the fat man shouted.
By the time the fat man returned to the house, Nanfeng had already climbed up on the kang. Master Ba took up most of the huge earthen kang. As soon as Nanfeng lay down, there was no space left.
"You are such a bear, why don't you fight with it for the bed?" The fat man pulled the quilt from the bed, but before pulling it off, he saw that Master Ba had a corner of the quilt in his mouth, "What are you doing?"
Ba Ye couldn't speak, so he just struggled with him. When the fat man let go, he took the quilt in his mouth and gave it to Nanfeng.
"Look at what I did as a slave." The fat man scolded Lao Bai.
Lao Bai barked twice but did not step forward to fight.
Nanfeng stood up and threw the quilt to the fat man, then patted Master Ba and said, "Go to bed early."
Both of them were tired. Lao Bai and Ba Ye had suffered from the cold outside, so they found shelter from the cold and slept comfortably.
The next morning, the snow stopped, but the snow on the ground was very thick. If they wanted to wait until the snow melted, they might have to stay here for a long time. After discussion, the three decided to hit the road early and head north from the mountains.
The cave where Gao Ping lived in his previous life was located in Taihe Mountain, with Taiwu Mountain to the north. The straight-line distance between the two places was about 800 miles, but these 800 miles were all mountain roads.
Fatty and Zhuge Chanjuan got a lot of gold and silver from the cave, but it was inconvenient to carry it with them, so they forced Nanfeng to ride Ba Ye back to the cave where they lived earlier. The cave was located in the mountains northeast of Gong County, and the round trip only took half a day.
The weather was cold, and Nanfeng didn't want to go back. But after learning from the past, he wanted to bring some ropes, axes, chisels and other tools to prepare, so he went back. At about the same time, he set off on the road and returned at the wrong time. This time, the snow covered a large area, and there were few roads on the snowy day. There were pedestrians, but nothing was seen on the way.
After a short rest, the three of them set out on the road. This time they no longer used body skills, but each mounted a horse. Ba Ye carried Nan Feng and Zhuge Chanjuan, and Lao Bai showed his true colors and carried Fatty.
Don't underestimate Lao Bai. After showing his true form, he is huge and can rush forward on the snow. He is very fast. When encountering obstacles, he will arch his back and jump up, climbing over mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground.
But those who can't run are always not as fast as they can fly. Those who fly can walk in a straight line, but those who can't run must cross obstacles.
They set off at Shenshi, and the three of them were still on the road until nightfall. Ba Ye flew easily, and Lao Bai didn't show any signs of fatigue. He sprinted and jumped, so powerful.
Nanfeng deliberately tested Lao Bai's endurance and did not suggest taking a rest until the second watch. The fat man couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Take a rest." '
When you go out, whether you can find Sutou all depends on your luck. Today, the three of them were lucky and found a cave, which is quite small. Unfortunately, the cave runs from north to south and is ventilated.
Ventilation is better than no shelter. I found firewood and lit a bonfire.
Although Lao Bai looks like a dog, he is not a dog after all. Not only his paws sweat, but his body also sweats. The sweat seeps out and freezes into icicles on his fur, making a tinkling sound when he moves.
After lighting a bonfire, Nanfeng went out to relieve himself, and Fatty followed him. He grinned while relieving himself, it was so painful.
"What's wrong?" Nanfeng tilted his head in confusion.
"Look." The fat man took off his pants.
Nanfeng turned his head and looked, and saw that the inner thighs of the fat man were red. Riding a ferocious beast was majestic and fast, but the disadvantage was that it was too bumpy.
"What are you doing?" Zhuge Chanjuan's voice came from behind.
The fat man heard the sound and hurriedly pulled up his pants. Nanfeng looked away and saw Zhuge Chanjuan with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't explain, but asked, "Do you have any medicine for the wound?"
"What medicine?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.
"No, no, just take a rest." The fat man returned to the cave with a horoscope.
Watching the fat man return to the cave, Zhuge Chanjuan stepped forward and handed something to her, "Look."
Nan Feng reached out and took it. It was a whitish thing, the size of a bowl, "What kind of animal's armor is this?"
"It's a bit like a pangolin, but not." Zhuge Chanjuan said, "Looking at the size of the armor, this animal is at least the size of a camel."
Nanfeng heard this and moved his gaze towards the cave in front of him. Judging from the size and shape of the cave, it was dug by an animal such as a pangolin, but he didn't know why this alien dug such a cave connecting the north and south on the mountainside. , if you want to pass, you can completely bypass it, so why bother.
The nails were white in color and must have fallen off for a long time. What happened many years ago was not worth delving into, so the two of them didn't pay too much attention.
Returning to the cave and sitting next to the campfire, Nanfeng took out the map and determined the current location of the three of them based on the surrounding mountains. "We were half way there earlier, and there are still three to four hundred miles to get there. There may be a place there." It’s a very big lake, and Taiwu Mountain is right in the middle of the lake, so it’s easy to find.”
"Which place is that?" the fat man asked.
"The first place we went to was the fifth place. Yesterday we went to the sixth place. Taiwu Mountain is the fourth place on the map." Nanfeng said.
"After this search, let's not go further north. It's uncomfortable. Let's go south." The fat man suggested.
"Sure." Nanfeng agreed. Not to mention that the three of them didn't have purple energy cultivation, even if they did, they couldn't bear the cold.
The winter night was cold and it was impossible to rest well. At the fifth watch, the three of them were on the road again.
In the morning, the three of them got closer to Taiwu Mountain. From a distance, they saw a large fog covering the area where Taiwu Mountain was located. When they got closer, they discovered that the huge lake had never frozen in the cold winter. The fog above It comes from the lake below.
This circular lake is not small, at least a hundred miles in diameter. There is an isolated peak in the middle of the lake, more than two hundred feet high, but most of the mountain is hidden in the fog, and only the top of the mountain is exposed through the fog layer. outer.
The three people came from the southeast. When they arrived at the lake, they found some wooden boards floating in the lake. Most of these wooden boards were flat and should have been part of the ship before.
The fat man walked to the lake and wanted to get the board. Lao Bai hurried over, biting his collar and dragging him back.
"Be careful, there may be something in the lake." Nanfeng reminded, because there was fog above the lake, which greatly hindered the observation of the color.
The fat man came back with a piece of wood, looked at it, and handed it to Nanfeng, "The stubble is new. Someone beat us to it."
Nanfeng's first thought was that Li Chaozong had been here. In addition to Li Chaozong, Long Yunzi was also possible. However, these two were both masters of purple energy, especially Li Chaozong, who could give birth to wings. If he went to Taiwu Mountain, he would not be able to No boat ride required.
At this moment, the sound of beating drums came from the west of the lake. The sound of the drums was somewhat similar to that of a military drum. If you listen carefully, you can see that there are more than one sound, at least five.
"Who?" The fat man looked at Nanfeng in confusion.
Nanfeng was listening to the drum sound at this time and did not answer immediately.
He had heard a snare drum before. The sound of the drum at this time was very similar to that of a snare drum, but the beats were different.
"This place is very close to Tuhun." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Are they also looking for the Book of Heaven?" Fatty answered.
Nanfeng couldn't give an answer, but he heard a subtle cry among the drums. The sound came from Taiwu Mountain in the middle of the lake. It was similar to the language of the Central Plains. It was a female voice, calling for help.
"Someone is trapped on the mountain and is calling for help. Those people at the lake may want to go and rescue her." Nanfeng said.
Fatty and Zhuge Chanjuan were reminded and listened attentively. Nanfeng took the opportunity to wave to Ba Ye and Lao Bai, signaling them to stay away from the lake and find a safe place to hide.
"It's a Tuhun accent." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Have you been to Tuhun?" Nanfeng asked casually.
"Having never been there, how can I know that this place is located on the border between the Western Wei Dynasty and Tuhun?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.
The drum beat continued, and the tune sounded like it was urging the army to move forward. The fog blocked the three of them and they couldn't see what was happening on the other side. The distance was also far, so they couldn't hear the clear sound. They could only hear it vaguely. It seemed like someone was screaming.
The three of them were standing by the lake and could clearly see the water swaying. This place was located in the southeast direction of the lake. The water waves could spread here, indicating that there was a rough sea on the other side of the lake.
"They may be fighting something in the lake." Nanfeng guessed.
"Let's go and take a look." The fat man urged.
Nanfeng had this intention, and the three of them used the body method to circumambulate the south bank and go to the west bank.
Approaching the west bank, the first thing the three of them saw were military tents scattered all over the mountains and plains. There were at least a hundred military tents, large and small. The largest military tent was located on the top of the west bank, three miles away from the lake. At this time, in front of the military tent There were many generals in armor standing around a middle-aged man in white fur, who was nervously looking at the lake to the east.
"It's Emperor Tuhun!" Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Emperor? How do you know?" the fat man asked. At this time, the three of them were located directly south of the camp, about five miles away from the main tent. The fog was only concentrated above the lake, not around the lake.
Zhuge Chanjuan stretched out her hand and pointed, "The flag hanging on the commander's camp is a dragon flag."
"There must be some monster in this lake who has captured the princess," the fat man guessed, "it might also be the princess."
Zhuge Chanjuan glanced at the fat man and said, "Why can't it be the Queen Mother?"
"What are you going to do by robbing an old woman?" the fat man said with a smile.
"Doing laundry and cooking." Zhuge Chanjuan said harshly.
"You don't even believe what you said." The fat man curled his lips.
While the two were bickering, Nanfeng looked at the surrounding situation. There must have been thousands of soldiers gathered by the lake. In addition to the soldiers, there were also many craftsmen. Judging from the remaining wood by the lake, those ships were built on the spot. Made from materials.
There are only two possibilities for monsters to capture people, one is to eat them, and the other is to make them wives. I have never heard of any monsters snatching women and taking them back to do housework. What Nanfeng cares about is not what the monsters are doing after snatching people away. He doesn't even care about it. What kind of monster, what kind of person is he robbing? What he cares about is the tortoise shell heavenly book. Now that he has obtained four pieces of tortoise shell, he will be sure of victory if he gets one more piece.
This is a deep mountain and old forest. Princess or imperial concubine will naturally not come here and be caught by monsters. The most likely possibility is that the monsters ran out and captured them. If they were caught and eaten, they would have eaten them long ago. How could I wait until now? Furthermore, if it was really captured and eaten, who could not eat it? Why did they capture the female family members around the emperor
It is not difficult to deduce this matter. Your Majesty, the women he looks for are naturally stunning, and most of the daughters of beautiful women are also beauties. The monster who captured her will naturally be his wife.
The prerequisite for capturing Mrs. Zhai is that there is a stockade. Maybe the monster has already occupied the cave of the Taoist who lived here before. If this is the case, the piece of tortoise shell may also end up here. In the hands of monsters…
