The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 363 Chapter 360 Second, the road was hard

In the morning of the next day, the five of them got up early, had something to eat, and immediately bid farewell to the master and apprentice.

The five people left the Seven Star Temple, went straight to the southwest and came down.

The road is getting higher and higher, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk.

Duan Changhao wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Brother Wuji, is the place where the Cordyceps is produced coming soon?

Why is this so difficult!

It's a little hard to breathe.If it goes on like this for a long time, no one can bear it! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Changhao, the Cordyceps is produced in Tufan Kingdom, and now we are still in the territory of Great Sui Kingdom, we are still far away from the place where Cordyceps is produced."

"My god! After walking for so many days, it's still a long way! How long will it take to go!

This must have exhausted me to death! "

Duan Changqing laughed and said: "Brother, you are the one who complains a lot. If you really can't hold on, you might as well go back by yourself."

"Go back? I'll go back by myself? Oh, Brother Changqing, what kind of bad idea did you give me!

If I go back like this, my mother will scold me to death!

I was originally worthless, so if I returned empty-handed, wouldn't that be even more worthless?

Hey, why is my Duan Changhao's life so hard!

This Brother Wuji is also true, this ready-made horse is not allowed to ride, this **** has to struggle to lead it, there is really no way! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chang Hao, look, none of us is leading the horse!

If you don't exercise now, when will you exercise?

You know, only by suffering through hardships can one become a master.

Don't complain, let's go now.

You complained before leaving our Great Sui Kingdom, how long will you have to complain! "

Duan Changhao had no choice but to take the animals and leave.

After walking for another four or five days, the five people finally arrived at the border of the Great Sui Kingdom.

Tieniu smiled and said, "Finally you can go abroad. After crossing the border, you will enter the Tupan country."

After hearing this, Duan Changhao quickly asked: "Brother Tieniu, is it possible that we can buy Cordyceps immediately after leaving the Great Sui Kingdom?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, our place is still far away from the place where the caterpillar fungus is harvested.

From now on, there must be a land of a thousand miles or hundreds of miles.

Moreover, the mountain will become more and more dangerous in the future, and the terrain will become higher and higher.

After another three days or a few days, you will see the continuous snow-capped mountains.

I believe you have never seen this thing when you grow up.

After a few days you will open your eyes. "

"Is it!"

As soon as he heard about the big snow mountain, Duan Changhao became energetic.

"Hey! If you can see the snow-capped mountains in this life, then your life will not be in vain!

Okay, let me persevere, if I don’t even see the snow mountain in this life, wouldn’t my life be in vain?

Let's go, I have to take a good look at the beauty of the snow mountain in a few days. "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Brother Changhao, in a few days, you will be able to enjoy the big snow mountain enough.

On that plateau, there are snow-capped mountains everywhere, and there are far fewer low mountains without snow. "

"That's right, that's great, um, this time I won't mind the money, I finally didn't come in vain this time!"

Duan Wuji looked at the brothers and said: "Let's go, there is a small restaurant at the border port, let's go, let's go eat.

After dinner, we will hurry on our way. "

Several people came to the restaurant leading the horses, and they asked for some food, and then began to eat.

After eating, Duan Wuji said to the waiter in the restaurant: "Hey! Dude, bake us a hundred pancakes and cut us a hundred catties of cooked meat. We will take it away later."

"Okay! Guest officer, just wait, it will be done in a while."

Duan Changhao saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing buying so many things!

We have plenty of money, why can't we go to restaurants?

Why bother with that? "

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Brother, you don't know. Once you leave our Great Sui Kingdom, the Tupan Kingdom is very sparsely populated. Once you enter the uninhabited place, no matter how much money you have, you will be fine." There's nowhere to spend it!"

"Really! This Tufan country is so desolate!

If that's the case, wouldn't it be troublesome!
It seems that you have come here once, and you still know something about the customs of this place!

It seems that it is good to have a lot of backgrounds. If you don't have such experience, you will have to suffer a real disaster at that time. "

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, do you still have the fire chain on you?"

"Brother, look at what you said, can I still fight for this life-saving thing?

If there is no such thing, then we are really doomed!

Brother, I have that thing with me.

Brother, do you have that thing with you? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Of course I also carry that thing."

"Well, that's good! As long as we have this thing, we won't be able to suffer much."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Why don't we buy three more sets, brother Changqing and his three brothers, one for each, it's more convenient, and it won't cost a few pennies."

"Well, that's fine."

"Hey! Boy, give us three more fire bars, and we'll pay together later."

"Okay! Got it.

Guest officer, these are three fire companies, please put them away. "

Duan Wuji pouted, Duan Changqing and his three brothers quickly put on fire.

After a while, the pancake was baked and the cooked meat was cut.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "The five of us should dress separately, it will be more convenient to eat like this."

When the four brothers heard this, they took out their bags one after another, and wrapped up their portion of meat.

Of course, Duan Wuji was not idle, and Duan Wuji also pretended to be his own.

After everything was tidied up, five people led the horses and walked straight to the port.

Two of the soldiers who interrogated knew Duan Wuji and Tieniu, so they were afraid of them from the bottom of their hearts!

Xin said: These people are not easy to provoke, last time we didn't open our eyes, we were beaten up by these two boys, alas, the loss we suffered was the biggest!
We can't provoke you, can we still hide from you?
well!This saves you from being beaten again.

The five people went to the port for interrogation and went through the relevant procedures. The five people passed the customs smoothly.

As soon as they stepped through the country, the five of them were overjoyed.

Duan Wuji said excitedly: "From now on, we finally step into the land of Tupan Kingdom.

Brothers, let's go, let's go deep into the mountains, and strive to reach the place where the Cordyceps grows as soon as possible. "

The five men led the horse all the way westward, the terrain became higher and higher, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner and thinner.

Sometimes the five of them gasped for breath with every step they took.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu came here once, and the two of them can adapt without being forced.

At that time, Duan Changhao and his three brothers could not do it. The three of them had pale faces and persisted reluctantly.

Every time he took a step forward, the cold sweat on his head kept breaking out.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Three brothers, if you really can't walk anymore, you should squeak, this is called altitude sickness, after a day or two, you will get used to it.

When we first came here, both of us had somewhat of your reaction, but our brothers were not as severe as you. "

Duan Changhao smiled wryly after hearing this: "Brother, I didn't expect that! It turns out that earning money is so hard! It turns out that you have suffered a lot last time!

Whoops!I really can't hold on any longer, if this keeps happening, I must never die in this ghostly place!

My mother is still waiting for me to take care of him in retirement. "

Duan Wuji looked at these three people, and knew that they couldn't hold on for a while, they just looked like this, so how could they hold on?

Duan Wuji looked around and finally found a low-lying place ahead.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, you see they are all like this, I don't think we should go any further today, the three of them haven't quite adapted to this place, and if they get sick, it's not easy to make a fuss." It's over."

You can see that there is a relatively low-lying place not far ahead, and the grass there is not bad.

Let's just rest in that place today.

You see, the sun will be setting soon, so let's rest early today.

"Well, well, we don't have any place to rest now, we can only eat and sleep in that place.

Brothers, let's go quickly, let's go to that low-lying place to rest!Let's go again tomorrow morning. "

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately walked towards the low-lying place. When they arrived at the place, they saw long grass, and the high grass was as tall as half a person!

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Oh, there is no way, we have to spend the night in this place tonight.

Let's all sit down and rest for a while.

Well, we have suffered, but the horse has had his fill tonight. "

But who knew, as soon as the people unloaded the horses, the horses immediately fell down.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "It seems that this horse doesn't adapt to it very well!

It's just that these horses have human nature, and they just don't want to insist on it.

well!There is really no way! "

A few people stepped on the wild grass, and then lay down on the grass to slow down. After a long time, people regained their strength.

Everyone sat on the grass and ate cold dry food. Only these few people knew how hard it was!

After a while, the horses also recovered.

These horses stood up from the ground, lowered their heads and gnawed on the green grass on the ground, and it got dark after a while.

After nightfall, a strong wind blew up on the plateau, and the weeds blew loudly.

In such a cold day, how could a few people sleep well!

A few people gathered around gossiping and passing the time, silently waiting for the dawn.
