Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 659, From Chicken Crowing to Zhutu Mountain

Zen master Zhiqing said: "The poor monk has never been to the grassland, so I don't know what the scenery will be like there. For 50 years, he has been active in the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, he is so close to his sixties that he has the opportunity to take a look here."

The two stopped after talking a few words, looking in the direction of the grassland, thinking about their own affairs.Not long after, footsteps sounded again.

This time it was old monk Puba who came.

"Two, the poor monk came to be an unexpected guest."

Zen Master Zhiqing said: "Master Puba came just in time. The poor monk has never been to the grassland, so I want to ask you for advice on something."

Popa chose a mound of earth and sat down.He twisted the agate rosary in his hand, and said slowly: "The poor monk has entered the grassland from here several times. The grassland ahead is quite peaceful. There are officers and soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin stationed here, and some caravans sometimes pass by here, so the front Several grassland tribes have a gentle personality and are friendly to outsiders. This piece of grassland is also a piece of good scenery. However, after hundreds of miles to the north, you will pass through the Gobi desert and the vast desert. The terrain there is complicated. Only by bringing your own The team cannot go there, and they need to rely on the tribes along the way for supplies. The poor monk has been there a few times before, and the number of people accompanying him is not large. This time, the number of people is much larger than before. I am afraid that he can linger there time will be reduced.”

Zen Master Zhiqing said: "Although we have a large number of people, we don't know the geography. It's like fighting in other people's fields, and the geography is not on our side."

Puba said: "The court of the Kingdom of Jin will try its best to get some tribes to cooperate with us. Although the distance across the vast sea and desert is not completely controlled, there are still a few tribes that can be used by us."

After he finished talking about the general situation of the prairie, none of the three seemed to talk about sex, so they just sat quietly and looked towards the prairie.

In the evening, a small tribe came to Jiming Fort, and they brought a large number of horses.

After the Tiger Wing Battalion sent someone to take over, they got supplies and horses from that tribe.

He Yuan looked at all kinds of cattle, sheep and supplies, and then he really felt that once the Jin Kingdom's court started to intervene, it would be able to mobilize a huge force.

Sang Ke, the suzerain of the Garang sect, summoned all the heads and leaders, and announced that the strong and sick Jianghu people would stay, and most of the chariots and horses would also stay.The team only brought a small amount of supplies, and the rest all changed to horses on their way.

In the early morning of the next day, the whole team was streamlined again, still divided into three teams from the left, middle and right. A small number of herdsmen replaced Min Zhuang, and drove the camel caravan, cattle and sheep to follow the team.

Le Zhen helped He Yuan select a batch of young horses.Riding a horse is no longer difficult for He Yuan.This big green horse is not a BMW, but it is quite strong. According to Le Zhen, it is a prairie horse that is good at galloping on the grassland.

After the reorganization was completed in front of the fortress, the team set off.

Min Zhuang also assembled in front of the fortress, ready to return.

He Yuan waved at Niu Da and Miao San who were already familiar, and urged the horses to keep up with the team.

After the cock crowing competition, the team traveled much faster. They arrived at a small tribe named Lunbu that day and began to rest.

Here, He Yuan felt the influence of Esoteric Buddhism. When the herdsmen entertained the eminent monks and disciples of Esoteric Buddhism, they were extremely enthusiastic. It was really a noble person who came to worship.

Le Zhen said to He Yuan: "This tribe is close to the Kingdom of Jin, and most of the herdsmen are followers of Esoteric Buddhism. The supplies here are still guaranteed, and the future journey is hard to say."

The next day, a river was crossed.

On the third day, the team approached the desert.

He Yuan followed in the team, and the grass under the horse's hooves gradually thinned out.Most of the scenery he can see is a vast land with few lives. If he looks at it for a long time, he will not be able to tell the direction.

There are almost no supplies here, and they can only consume what everyone brings.Fortunately, the manpower along the way is all strong Jianghu warriors and herdsmen, and no one is holding back.

They have local tribal herdsmen as guides and will not lose their way.However, He Yuan felt that the attitudes of the tribes he met on the way and the reception team were gradually changing, from being honored as honored guests to being kind and friendly. After entering the desert, the small tribes he encountered began to become indifferent.

On the way, there were occasional cavalry on the grassland spying on them, but because there were hundreds of cavalry in the Garang faction's team, and the rest of the rivers and lakes also had the strength to fight, no one dared to approach easily.If it is found that someone has been stalking for a long time, the Tiger Wing Battalion will send cavalry to drive away the opponent.

The team traveled through the grasslands and deserts, and after a few days, everyone turned over a high ground.On the grassland, you can see it from a high place.He Yuan saw several ranger spies rushing back.

Soon, Le Zhen rode back from the front of the team.

He Yuan asked Le Zhen: "The spies are back? Where have we gone?"

Le Zhen replied: "Master He, you can see Zhutu Mountain when you walk across the barren slope in front of you."

After walking for a while, He Yuan saw the color of the oasis and the winding brown hills.

Zhutu Mountain is composed of a series of inconspicuous hills. Compared with the famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, it is more like some small irregular bumps, occasionally exposing a little weathered rock.

There are several oases in the south of the mountain.This is the place where the three groups of esoteric religions gather.

The cavalry sent out to attack the front station came back to report.The Xinlu Sect team had arrived here a day ago.

Many people in the team breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there were people from their own side coming to meet them.

Approaching the oasis, He Yuan saw the reflection of water waves in several places. In several oases, there were various tents and scattered shrubs.

When He Yuan's team arrived, the tribes that were active in Zhutu Mountain, as well as monks from the Xinlu Sect, came out to greet them.

All the way to the entrance of the gathering place, the esoteric monks checked the list again.

Sang Ke walked towards He Yuan.After approaching, he said to He Yuan: "Master He, wait a moment, the tribal chiefs here will come to welcome you. Please go with me, poor monk. At that time, the poor monk will introduce you to the suzerain of the Xinlu Sect, as well as the tribal chiefs." The leader of the Xinlu faction brought the frontier cavalry from the Wuyuan area, which was selected from the men of Wanhu."

He Yuan nodded, followed Sang Ke and Puba, and rode to the front of the team.

Several people passed through, where they were counting people, and entered the entrance of the gathering place.

Inconspicuous from a distance, in fact, this oasis is quite large.With the nourishment of the lake, the land is not so dry, some plants are still growing tenaciously, stretching out a large piece of pasture, feeding the people living here.

He Yuan and the others entered the gathering place, and soon saw people coming to greet them.

Among the crowd who came to greet him, there were several people in grassland costumes and several monks.

The person who greeted him stopped a few feet away.A group of monks and luxuriously dressed leaders saluted Puba and Sangho one after another.

After Puba and Puba returned the salute, the luxuriously dressed leader said a few words, but He Yuan didn't understand what he said.
