Chapter 2031 Heading West
Chapter 2031 Heading West
Autumn in the Han Dynasty meant winter for the Xiong Kingdom.
As you head west into the Great Yuezhi Kingdom, the seasonal changes become more obvious, with abundant lush vegetation.
The further west Zhang Xuezhou flew, the more he felt as if he had entered summer.
But when he reached the agreed distance and flew south, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the weather was cool and cold, and the ground was even covered with layers of white snow, which made the climate seem extremely abnormal.
Both the Xiong State and the Dayuezhi State were nomadic and semi-nomadic states. These states had vast territories but sparse populations and lacked settled cities.
Zhang Xuezhou had to rely on luck if he wanted to find someone to ask for directions.
Flying from day to night, Zhang Xuezhou looked down and felt that it was difficult to find a place to rest, and the difficulty of flying in the air was also increasing.
He grabbed a lotus and put it in his mouth, chewing it, trying to restore as much strength as possible in his body.
After flying six hundred miles to the west, Zhang Xuezhou flew eight hundred miles to the south, and then flew another three hundred miles to the west.
There was no holy temple or settled city below him, but various high and low mountains, some of which were covered with snow.
If it weren't for the fact that flying back would consume too much demonic energy, and because there was a high probability that Jie Tuo and Badala would wake up and leave, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he really wanted to stand in front of the two of them and let these two guys confirm again and again.
He didn't see any holy temple, nor did he find any nomadic tribe. His continuous flying seemed more like he was crossing a series of uninhabited areas.
Of course, Zhang Xuezhou did not rule out the possibility that he was flying too fast and neglected to observe what was below.
He finally flew on the road in a depressed mood, trying to find a population center in the Great Yuezhi Kingdom, and then used the yellow monk robe that appeared from heaven to show his identity and ask for directions.
"It's getting colder the further I fly. Am I flying to the North Pole or the South Pole of this world?"
Zhang Xuezhou is a great cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers, and his celestial clothes can resist cold and heat. He also possesses the water-avoidance technique, the fire-avoidance technique, etc. There are very few climates that can make him feel cold.
While he was flying in the air, not only was there a constant icy wind sweeping in, but the heaven and earth seemed to have become a pot with a cover that was getting tighter and tighter, as if it was going to crush him into the ice-covered mountain.
"Those two shabby monks might have deceived me!"
Zhang Xuezhou felt something was wrong, but it was inconvenient for him to turn back. He thought it would be more convenient to find a human settlement and then ask.
He had a minor conflict with monks such as Ingatha because of his clothing, but his celestial clothes had been changed, so it was impossible for him to have conflicts with the people of the Yuezhi Kingdom again.
If he was mistaken for a Buddhist monk by the Yuezhi people, he might be treated with courtesy.
Zhang Xuezhou reflected bitterly on the many mistakes he had made after entering the evil country, and felt that he must avoid these things next time.
The journey is always unfamiliar, and he didn't have any special emotions at this moment. He probably believed that suffering a loss is a blessing. As long as he could reach the Kunlun Holy Land and get the Nine Treasures Wine, everything would be worth it.
It's nothing to be embarrassed during the journey, as it proves that he had a hard time on the road and had made unremitting efforts to return to the Holy Land of Kunlun. It would also be convenient for him to have excuses when the time comes.
Zhang Xuezhou tried his best to think of the worst possible situation in his mind, and continued to flap his golden wings, floating along the wind and paddling further and further away.
Although it is very difficult to fly in this territory, Zhang Xuezhou has only used more than half of his demonic power, and he is still eating to recover, so flying another thousand miles is not a problem. He also has the Cloud-Flying Technique to continue, and the high-altitude wind blows in the direction of his flight, which also provides a boost.
But finding humans in such an area is bound to be difficult.
Not to mention people, Zhang Xuezhou didn't even encounter a bird, and there were few traces of living creatures in the white snow below. The light reflected from the snow made it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to identify the details.
Of course, this is not a big problem. Even if the flying direction is wrong, Zhang Xuezhou can return as long as he determines the direction.
If we ignore the hidden danger of physical insecurity after traveling through the world, there is not much difference between Zhang Xuezhou taking twelve days to reach West Kunlun and thirty-six days to reach West Kunlun.
"If we can't even get through this little bit of ice and snow, then it will be extremely difficult to find the West Kunlun Mountains!"
Zhang Xuezhou gave up the idea of looking for residents in the snow, and spread his golden wings and flew forward continuously.
It crosses the rolling hills and passes under the towering mountains.
Zhang Xuezhou was even chasing the light. The world behind him slowly fell into darkness, but in front of him there was still the light of the setting sun.
The world seemed to be divided into two parts, and he was constantly pursuing the light.
"The snow-capped mountains in this place stretch for thousands of miles. If I were to fall into darkness, I would have a miserable night!"
The reason why Zhang Xuezhou chased during the day was simply because there was a greater chance of getting lost when traveling at night, but as he continued to fly, the demonic power in his body began to be exhausted, and his Cloud Technique also turned into Cloud-Soaring Technique.
Compared with the Cloud Technique, the speed of the Cloud-Soaring Technique is undoubtedly several magnitudes slower.
From chasing the day to getting rid of the night, Zhang Xuezhou only felt that the darkness behind him was constantly chasing him until it covered the bright world he was in.
The bright colors in the distance were swallowed up by the darkness, and the world turned dark again.
"It seems that the luck technique I practice can only work within the territory of the Han Dynasty. Once I leave the Han Dynasty, the luck in my body will drop drastically. But there is no water area nearby!" Feeling the difficulty of his journey, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the limitations of his luck technique began to show, and the power of favor only worked in water areas, which made Zhang Xuezhou not seem very lucky.
The fact that Zhang Xuezhou thought of luck at this moment only proved that he had lost the bet. His plan of finding a Dayuezhi person to ask for directions had completely failed, and there was a high probability that he had gone in the wrong direction.
He even turned to looking for a river to see if he could have some luck near the water.
But Zhang Xuezhou did not see any water as he continued flying in the dark. Instead, he saw a little fire.
It allows him to see a little flame in the sky, but on the ground it would be a huge fire rising into the sky.
"Where did such a big fire come from?"
He became suspicious and felt that the flame was indeed a little too big.
But the place where the fire started is likely to be inhabited by humans.
Despite the possibility of a disaster, Zhang Xuezhou did not stop thinking about flying there to check it out.
He flew high into the sky and felt the coldness in the darkness fade away. The closer he got to the fire, the warmer he felt on his body.
"Kosala!"
"Kosala!"
……
As they got closer, the flames grew bigger and bigger, until countless places were on fire.
Zhang Xuezhou looked down and saw that the houses in the entire area below had been set on fire.
Hundreds of huge war elephants moved forward slowly like a city wall, and some shirtless warriors on the elephants held spears. From time to time, a warrior would throw the spears and pierce the bodies of those being surrounded.
Every time they hit and killed the enemy, the soldiers would shout, as if they were counting their own military achievements.
People continued to set fires everywhere, and the city was filled with desperate cries.
"Kutama!"
At the front of the many war elephants, a leader wearing leather armor and holding a colorful shield stood up and shouted enthusiastically, attracting groups of people to follow suit and shout.
This sound probably means something like "victory" or "triumph".
Obviously, there are all kinds of things happening all over the world.
And in this area, a bloody war came to an end.
Any able-bodied men who managed to escape the city were killed by the besieging elephant legions.
In the city, destruction, killing, looting, death, etc. occurred everywhere, which led to the rapid destruction of the city.
"Kapilavatthu Mahanama, Vipatsha, Kosala Vipula, Gautama!"
When Zhang Xuezhou found a place to stay, a bald old man with his hands and feet cut off was taken to the city gate.
The leader holding a colorful shield stood on the war elephant. He held a spear and shouted at the bald old man, which made the dying bald old man try to raise his head.
"Tathagata..."
The bald old man spoke angrily, but was greeted only by a spear.
The spear pierced through the bald old man's body and nailed him to the city gate, killing the gasping bald old man directly, which then triggered even more fanatical cheers.
"Tathagata?"
Zhang Xuezhou's foreign language skills are limited, so he couldn't understand what these people were saying and was just watching the fun.
It wasn't until the bald old man called out a name that he came back to his senses.
“This seems to be Tathagata’s name?”
In the Han Dynasty, if Tathagata was called by his name in the other party's native language, it would become Tathagata.
Whether it is a transliteration or a translation, when the languages are different, the name becomes a problem and will lead to the existence of multiple names.
Zhang Xuezhou was more familiar with Tathagata, and had also heard Wuchao mention another name for Tathagata.
After flying thousands of miles over mountains and across rivers, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he might have arrived at the kingdom of Senior Brother Tathagata.
