November 16th, light snow.
A high-end bus was parked on the side of the barren mountain.
There was only the driver in the car, while the tourists got off the car one after another under the guidance of the tour guide to enjoy the scenery.
This is a tour group of 10 people. Among the major travel agencies in East Persia, this is the smallest and most expensive tour group.
Clues can also be seen from the vehicle. Not only is the bus expensive, but it also has 53 seats but only carries 10 tourists.
"This is our famous attraction, 'Lion's Roar.'" A young female tour guide enthusiastically explained to tourists the huge rocks on the mountain not far away.
"According to legend, there was once a warrior who admired the Yueshan Lion very much. He searched all over the mountains and rivers, but he could never gain the favor of the Yueshan Lion tribe."
"Until one day when he came here, he saw a group of Yueshan lions..."
Du Yu and Qing Shi, wearing black windbreakers and hoods, stood at the side and back of the crowd, listening quietly to the story that was difficult to tell true from false.
It is most likely fake.
Now that a tourist route has been opened up, there must be some so-called tourist attractions.
Q: How to turn strange mountains and rocks into scenic spots
A: Give it a story.
As Du Yu walked along the way, all he saw were rugged rocks, barren forests and snowy fields.
This boulder has a normal shape and there is nothing special about it except that it is a little bigger.
Du Yu doesn't quite agree that it can be transformed into a tourist attraction.
"The warrior waited patiently on the huge rock on the mountain top, accompanied by the lions day and night. Whenever a lion roared in the forest, he would roar loudly and respond."
"After countless years, the warrior's devotion and perseverance moved the leader of the Yueshan lion group..."
Hearing this, Du Yu curled his lips. What a cliché story.
The young female tour guide is named Ainuala. She is youthful and beautiful. Judging from her looks alone, she is a master at deceiving people.
Ai Nulla: "The Yueshan lions finally reached the top of the mountain and sent one of their tribesmen to fight the warrior in a fair duel as a test."
At this point, she sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that the Yueshan Lion is not an ordinary monster. It is extremely powerful. The warrior eventually died tragically in this duel, and his body was also eaten by the lions."
Du Yu:
The sudden words almost broke Du Yu's waist.
Ainuala: “The blood of the warriors was spilled on this huge rock, but unfortunately today the snow covers the rock.
Otherwise, you can see that the Lion's Roar, above the stone, is blood red in color.
To commemorate the warrior's unremitting spirit, pious attitude and brave heart, later generations named this rock "Looking for the Lion's Roar."
Ainuala said, turning to look at the tourists: "This legend has inspired generations of demon tamers in East Persia, and it also warns our people of the power, justice, and holiness of the Yueshan Lion."
As Ai Nulla switched languages and translated the story again, a blonde woman covered her chest with one hand and sighed softly: "What a sad story."
Du Yu's English level is only at the high school level, but he can still understand the general idea.
However, Du Yu was still not used to the fact that Ainuala could speak fluent Chinese.
It seems that in East Persia, the common language is assumed to be Bactrian, perhaps because East Persia and Bactrian have the closest exchanges
Having said that, among the group of 10 people, only this one white female tourist gave some reaction.
Ai Nu La didn't care, because she knew exactly what kind of team she was leading!
To put it another way, even if the company didn't remind her, she could see it with her naked eyes.
You know, the job of taming demons requires the cultivation of one's spirit, energy and vitality!
In terms of temperament, the gap between her and ordinary people is like heaven and earth.
There is no need for tourists to reveal their identities, Ainuala can tell at a glance that at least 8 people in the group are demon controllers.
Therefore, Ai Nu La's attitude along the way was extremely respectful:
Please follow me aboard. The next stop is our country's famous magical land, the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts."
Everyone followed the tour guide into the car, and Du Yu and Teacher Qing also returned to their seats at the back of the car.
As the bus started, Ainuala picked up the small microphone and said, "Sorry to bother you all, we will pass through an urban area on the way to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Please keep your valuables, jewellery etc.
What I mean is, please hide your valuables as much as possible, it will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Hearing this, the blonde woman spoke again: "Aren't we absolutely safe? We paid a high travel fee..."
Ainuala apologized repeatedly, stepped forward to patiently explain and calm the white woman's emotions.
After a while, she turned to the crowd again and said, "Saint Noah City is controlled by the Purple Lions, and this tourist route was also opened and guarded by the Purple Lions.
Please rest assured that our lives are safe, but in other aspects...”
As she said this, Ainu La looked helpless: "My country is different from your country."
Having said this, Ai Nu La didn't need to say anything more.
In fact, people from other continents can understand it very well.
Not to mention in this war-torn country, even in the peaceful country where they live, there are many people stealing and robbing on the streets.
After giving the instructions, Ai Nu La signaled everyone to take a short break as the journey would take about 2 hours.
Yang Qingqing sat by the inner window, looking out quietly.
As the vehicle moved forward, the gloomy sky gradually cleared up, and the monotonous snow-capped mountains and forests gradually lost their silver-white appearance.
"Teacher Qing, would you like some water?" Du Yu asked in a low voice.
Yang Qingqing shook her head and pointed out the window: "We're here."
Du Yu looked in the direction he wanted to go and saw that, as expected, the further south he went, the fewer traces of frost and snow there were.
The long and silent journey was finally broken when the vehicle approached the city.
As the bus passed the inspection and drove into the city, Yang Qingqing couldn't help but frown.
The place is devastated and full of broken walls.
Rather than saying that this is a city, it would be better to say that this is a ruin.
The building is full of exotic atmosphere, and one can vaguely see its former grandeur, but that’s all.
There was silence in the car, and people silently looked at the city destroyed by war.
Only the white woman was murmuring excitedly, as if she was pitying something.
Du Yu sat in the aisle seat, his eyes swept across the empty seat on the right, looking at the devastated scene outside the window, slightly distracted.
The woman next to him suddenly moved her shoulders and touched Du Yu's arm.
"Master Qing?" Du Yu immediately turned his head and looked to the left.
Yang Qingqing raised her head slightly and pointed outside the window with her chin.
Du Yu looked at it and his eyes couldn't help but freeze!
It was a broken stone wall.
There is also a relief of Yueshan Lion carved on the stone wall!
Isn't this the picture I saw in the revelation picture
"Gudu." Du Yu's Adam's apple moved.
The prophecies kept coming true, but Du Yu was still unable to adapt.
Maybe for others, people will have a wonderful feeling of being a "prophet".
But for Du Yu, it seemed as if his future had already been arranged by God.
"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing asked in doubt, noticing that the vehicle was slowing down.
At the same time, a group of people walked out of the collapsed building on the street.
They all wore purple turbans with the pattern of Yueshan lion printed on them. Below the turbans were pairs of mocking eyes.
"Don't panic, I'll negotiate." Ainu's heart tightened, and she tried to remain calm, turning her head to look at the driver.
The driver held his hands high, motionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.
.
"Dong, Dong, Dong!" Only when the car door was knocked did the driver dare to put down one hand and open the bus door. Then he raised his hand again in an orderly manner with very skillful movements.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Ukhish." Ainuala switched to Eastern Persian, and this time, no one could understand.
"Long time no see, Ainu." The man wearing a purple headscarf walked onto the bus with a tough attitude.
Unlike ordinary robbers, the man was tall, handsome and had an extraordinary aura.
He pushed Ainuola away with a sly smile on his face: "I just came out of the mountains and met your group. I'm so lucky, haha!"
Ai Nu La said anxiously: "Mr. Ukhish, most of them are demon masters, very powerful, you should not..."
"Of course I know they are demon tamers. Demon tamers are more capable." Uhesh pushed Ainu to the ground and stepped over the woman's head.
"Ah!" Such an action caused the white woman to exclaim.
"Hehe." Uhesh looked at everyone with a smile. His friendly expression was incompatible with his rude behavior.
He looked at the screaming white woman and actually spoke to comfort her: "Shh... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no one will get hurt."
"You know, this route was opened up by our Purple Lion Legion." Ukhish stepped forward, and several men wearing purple scarves behind him got on the bus one after another.
He continued, "In order to ensure everyone's safety, our Purple Lions have paid a lot. Now I ask for a tip from you. Is that too much?"
Ukhish stood in the middle of the bus and gestured to the men to get on the bus and start working: "We don't want your demon pets, they are very troublesome to tame, we just want some tips.
You are all demon tamers and don’t care about money or anything like that.
It’s different for us. Even eating is a problem for us.
Just think of it as your support for us, don't make any changes! "
As he spoke, Ukhish's words became colder: "This place is too far from your hometown. You can't even transport your corpses back. You can only throw them into the Tomb of the Beasts."
Ukhsh looked ferociously around the car.
It can be seen that he is quite capable. If he didn't have some skills, he wouldn't dare to rob the monster tamer's tour group.
There were several purple scarf soldiers inside the car who were extorting money, and outside the car, there were also many people wearing purple scarves.
Obviously, this group of people came prepared.
"Young man, I've already given you the money. This watch was left to me by my late wife, so don't take it." A white-haired old man said with a grim expression.
The brother in the purple scarf stopped taking off his watch and turned to look at the boss.
Wu Heshi walked over, patted the old man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. When you go back, ask your wife to buy you another one."
The old man's breathing suddenly quickened: "I said, this is what my late wife left for me!"
Ukhish's facial expression was quite rich. He pouted and turned to look at his younger brother beside him: "This old guy really thinks that we are discussing this with him."
"Haha." The brother in the purple scarf laughed and took off the watch.
The old man was so angry that his face turned red: "You...
"Huh!" Uhesh pressed the old man's head with one hand and slammed it hard on the car window.
The muffled sound made everyone tremble with fear.
Wu Heshi held the old man's head tightly with one hand and said coldly: "If you die here, you and your wife will never be reunited. Do you want to stay in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts forever?"
"Boss." The younger brother in purple scarf called softly.
Uhesh looked at the old man with a bloodshot face but honest manner, then nodded with satisfaction and finally let go of his hand.
He followed his younger brother's instructions and looked towards the back of the bus.
In fact, the first thing Ukhsh saw when he got on the bus was the two people sitting at the back.
But I don’t know when, the extremely beautiful woman had already put on the hood of her windbreaker.
The purple scarf brother whispered: "When the woman put on her hat, I saw a
Bracelet, not ordinary."
Hearing this, Ukhish couldn't help but hesitate.
The man and woman in the back seat were both wearing summer windbreakers and had good temperaments. Ukhish had no intention of going to the back.
At this moment, the woman in the back seat suddenly spoke: "Give him back the watch, take the other things, and leave."
Ukhish's expression suddenly darkened.
At the same time, he also noticed the gazes of his younger brother behind him.
And there were not only a few brothers in the car, but also a group of people from the Purple Lion Legion outside the car who were watching everything.
This leading figure, who had just come out of seclusion, was in a difficult situation.
Then, Ukhsh’s expression changed, and he walked to the back with a smile on his face: “No problem, ma’am, I’ll return the watch right away.
But can you lend me your bracelet, please?"
Yang Qingqing said calmly: "Return the watch, take the other things, and get out."
Under the gaze of everyone inside and outside the car, Ukhish stepped forward with an unchanged smile: "It's just a bracelet. I see that you are of noble status and you won't care about such a small item."
He came to the second to last row, reached out to touch Yang Qingqing's wrist, and sneered, "It can't be such a coincidence, this bracelet was given by your late husband?"
“Bang!”
Du Yu, who was sitting next to Master Qing, grabbed Wu Heshi's wrist with one hand.
"My friend, don't be impulsive." Ukhish felt the force on his wrist, his eyes were fierce and full of threats, "Otherwise, things will not end well."
Du Yu raised his head, smiled strangely, and looked directly at the handsome man: "You want to die for insulting my master?"
Suddenly, the voice of Shadow Gu Tower came from his mind: "Master, the demon soul of the demon saint is almost refined."
The Shadow Gu Tower is always peaceful and quiet.
It has always been giving silently and never disturbing Du Yu.
Even the Shadow Gu Tower spoke at this time, not for itself, but because it sensed Du Yu's anger.
Raging anger!
