Chapter 113 Kill three birds with one stone and make a lot of money (subscription required)
After passing Yumen Pass, Dunhuang is only a hundred miles away from the final destination.

However, this was the final hurdle.

The sun above the head is extremely hot, and there are transparent heat waves on the ground that beat like flames, steaming up and down, sweat flowing out uncontrollably, and the salt on the way down stings those sun-red skins. The burst of stinging pain made people frown.

Of course, if it's just like this, it's all right. Whether it's soldiers or monks and Taoists, they are all people who have experienced hardships, so they can't bear this hardship.

But since leaving Yumen Pass, although the surrounding environment has not changed much, the road under his feet has become much more difficult.

Taoist Lao Wang knew what was going on,

But if you know it, you know it, and he can't handle it.

Before leaving Yumen Pass, it was still in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary people passing by would be blessed by the gods along the way, not to mention the army traveling to fight in all directions. Basically, the land of mountain gods along the road would provide them with some convenience.

Of course, these gods will not teleport them directly to their destination, nor do they have that ability. At most, they can make the road smoother and the climate milder.
Although the effort is not much, it is really helpful for the army to travel!
Leaving Yumen Pass now means that the gods in the Tang Dynasty can no longer provide them with shelter.

And even if there are righteous gods participating in the Western Regions, there is a high probability that they are playing games with those barbarian wild gods, and there is no extra energy to take care of them. I'm afraid they are beyond their capabilities.

So the scorching sun, the wind and sand, and the rough road under our feet were all in trouble.

After walking for more than ten miles, the old Wang, father and son, and even two monks, the steps of these practitioners became a lot heavier.

The performance of ordinary people like soldiers was even more unbearable, especially the soldiers who were carrying shoulders, their legs were sore and weak after a while, and their steps were erratic.

Had to change staff frequently.

But this also caused the originally slow speed to be slowed down a lot.

Pharaoh wanted to make a request.

After all, these soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and their generals would definitely ask to rest where they were, but the master in Jianyu was very anxious, and he was worried that there would be conflicts between the two sides.

Don't look at this one who walks all the way, stays in the shoulder room and rarely shows up.

But Lao Wang has not forgotten that as soon as He appeared more than half a month ago, He killed and burned the group of monsters, and finally threw the corpses into the cauldron for refining. in front of you.

Old Wang Qiqi Aiai leaned over: "My God, you see that this journey is difficult, and most of the soldiers are mortals, why don't you rest and rest before going on the road?"

Glancing at the state of these people, it is indeed almost to the limit.

"Yes, leave as soon as possible." Zhang Ke nodded.

Hearing the sound, Lao Wang was relieved, and just as he turned around to negotiate with the generals of these soldiers, he heard a sudden sound of metal crashing behind him, followed by a strange fragrance, and he subconsciously sniffed a little. Old Wang's complexion suddenly changed.

After just a little smell, he felt that his energy was recovering rapidly.

Not only did the exhaustion subside, but even his legs showed signs of collapse.

He glanced at his son, and found that the young man was blushing, and his body was slightly bent, as if he was hiding something.

Looking at the two monks again, although they were not as unbearable as his own son, their postures were slightly abnormal. How could he not understand that they were all men?
1 looked at their embarrassment.

Turning around, Old Wang's expression returned to normal, looking at the elixir suspended in front of the shrine, he secretly said yes.

He reached out and took off the elixir, held it in his hand, looked at it for a while, and then smelled it.

The elixir is ruddy in color and heavy in the hand. It is the size of a baby's fist but weighs as much as a metal of the same size. The fresh fragrance carries a little smell of flesh and blood.

The raw material of this elixir should be those cunning snake gods from more than half a month ago.

Lao Wang never thought that this fierce god has the ability to make alchemy. He had seen him take out a magical vessel before, but he only thought that the fierce god was stewing it. After all, the flesh and blood removed those evil spirits. After the qi is also a great tonic.

Now Dancheng, a reward came out.

Meaning, understand their hard work?
It should be.

It's a pity that it would be great if this great pill was given to him. The power of this pill alone can save him several years of hard work, but this person didn't specify who the pill was given to, so it seems that someone who has seen it has a share , not only the four of them, but also many soldiers.

One point is fair.

But when it falls on everyone, after the effect of the medicine is dispersed, at most it will make people energetic and energetic.

There are no women around here, so the extra strength has to stay on the way?
Old Wang Daoist sighed softly in his heart, but on the surface he cupped his hands: "Taoist Wang Bojian, on behalf of these thousands of soldiers, thank you for your reward."

Then he hurried to find the generals of the soldiers.

This elixir is better than gold and stone, and they have to use their cauldron to melt it. With the help of the fire talisman, maybe everyone can have a bowl of hot soup before dark.

And then just hit the road.

And while they were burying the pot to cook, Zhang Ke was not idle, and his spiritual thoughts moved Cang Yu.

The two divine seals on the jade seal, representing the calling of the wind and the rain, shone brightly. The next moment, a cool breeze blew on the desolate next door, and then the water vapor from dozens of miles away was transferred, and gradually condensed into clouds in the air. The scorching sun is isolated behind the clouds.

Feeling the constant breeze,
The soldiers who had just sat down all had expressions of satisfaction on their faces.

And the general, who was negotiating with the Taoist old king, looked up at the sudden change of sky at this moment, and then at the altar, with a strange expression.

He was a little confused.

Since this guy has the ability to concoct alchemy and breathe out flames, and can move the wind and clouds, how can he not be reduced to being in the company of oxen and snake gods?
As long as it is reported to the court, someone will plan for it.

Of course, the chance of going to heaven is not great, and it is more likely that they will be assigned to a certain place as a land only.

And if you dislike the small location, it is not difficult to replace it. After all, the current Tang Dynasty has been fighting for years, and the territory is increasing day by day like blowing up balloons. Goguryeo, Mobei, Lingnan...
In these lands that have been successively conquered in the past few decades, although a group of evil god Yin temples have been cleared after the previous army cleared, the centipedes are dead but not stiff. But inspiring.

These places are short of a large number of gods to cooperate with the government to change the wind, change the customs, and stabilize one side.

In contrast, the environment in the Western Regions is very harsh, not to mention that there are many foreign teachers here, and it is not a good place to develop beliefs or manage authority.

Those who can be sent to the Western Regions are either monks and Taoists who want to fight with a small family with a shallow background, or are recruited by the imperial decree. The only gods who have made big mistakes Only then will he be demoted to the Western Regions to perform crimes and meritorious deeds.

So he is completely incomprehensible.

But then again, everyone has his own ambitions, and this one may have his own plans.

Just don't mind other people's business.

Looking at the elixir floating in the pot, the general licked his lips. This kind of good thing is not common. Even if more than 2000 people share the remaining medicine, it can strengthen the muscles and bones, which can save time compared to the nine-to-five exercise. .

A elixir and the cloudy sky benefited everyone, and there were a lot more peeks at Zhang Ke for a while, but he ignored it.

What he did was purely to save time, so that this group of people would lose their legs before taking two steps.

By the way, Zhang Ke also wants to try the effect of this panacea. Now it seems that the benefits to the body are good, but I just don't know if it can be used as a substitute for the soldiers.

This will have to wait for him to go through Dunhuang, catch some ghosts and try it out.

After a short rest, we took advantage of the gloomy sky to start on the road again.

This time, relying on the vigorous medicine in their bodies, the soldiers walked like flying on the rough Gobi, and ran under Dunhuang City before the next morning.

Compared with Yumen Pass, Dunhuang City is larger, and the city wall is more than three feet high.

And the flow of people coming and going is more dense.

Even though the inspection at the city gate was smooth and quick, the queue was still a thousand meters away.

And this is because the caravans only brought some goods and people into the city, otherwise there would be more.

After entering the city gate, there are various vendors and shops on both sides of the street, ranging from daily necessities to valuables, and all kinds of luxuriously dressed buyers walk through it
Here it is time to part ways.

Before entering the city gate, the soldiers who escorted him along the way were left outside, while the four monks and Daoist and Zhang Ke led them into the city and took another road opposite to the commercial street.

It's also crowded here.

But unlike those vendors who are full of calculations and bargaining, most of the people on this street are in a hurry, even if they stop to buy, they never lower the price.

Zhang Ke glanced around and found that most of the goods here were talismans, weapons, various metal medicinal materials, and the dried limbs of certain creatures.
Many of these people are practitioners, and most of the rest are strong in muscles and bones, with vigorous energy and blood.

This is a market dedicated to these practitioners.

And as the shoulder was carried in, the originally bustling street became deserted in an instant, and people quickly avoided to the sides. At the same time, all kinds of eyes also looked at the shrine in the shoulder, openly or secretly.

Most of them just glanced over, but there were also those who stopped to look at the shrine, and for these, Zhang Ke slapped them, no matter good or bad.

Hit their heads on the ground.

They didn't let go until their heads were bleeding.

The Taoist Lao Wang and the others turned a blind eye to this, and still followed closely around Jianyu.

After Jianyu gradually went away, passers-by dared to step forward to help these unlucky people up: "Where did you come from so stupid and bold, dare to walk this road without someone you know?"

"What's wrong with me leaving?" The man resisted the dizziness, looked at the bloody forehead, and said in a bad tone.

"Most of these shrines are because of His Majesty's imperial decree. They came from all corners of the country. Their tempers are not very good. And they all took the initiative to serve them. The government is also very cautious about them. Just close one eye, as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble."

"The bottom line of this mess is that they must not indiscriminately kill the people of the Tang Dynasty, as for the others." Speaking of this, the passer-by sneered: "Whether they eat them alive, or seduce their souls to become cattle or horses, it's up to them.

That is to say, this master has just come here, and he is not very tempered, otherwise it would not be a matter of kowtowing with your offensive actions."

Passers-by were explaining, but their minds had already drifted away with that shoulder.

This place is full of monsters and snake spirits, but it is really rare to see a master like this one who is not evil and has no bad temper.

I'll have to inquire later,
Let's see where this gentleman will choose to go.

At that time, with the master blocking those big guys, he can also drink the soup.

And this passer-by was not the only one who had this thought, many people on this street took action one after another.

when these people act.

After walking a few streets, the shoulders also stopped, and right in front of Zhang Ke was a magnificent temple.

Yes, magnificent, the height of the outer wall alone is comparable to the city wall of Dunhuang itself.

After crossing the gate, there are various styles of pavilions and pavilions inside.

The most conspicuous is a main hall.

Carved beams and painted buildings, golden bricks and green tiles. Although I have never seen what the Tang Dynasty palace looked like, compared with the Ming and Qing palaces, the temple in front of me is not inferior, and even surpasses it.

After all, the imperial palace doesn't emit light, but the main hall in the temple is shining brightly.

And outside the main hall, there is a huge copper tripod, in which a large number of incense candles are burning, the incense in it slowly flows into the hall along the gate, and the smoke that has become waste slag rises to the sky above the temple. The light emitted by the main hall was completely covered.

Covered by the smoke, and Zhang Ke's divine sense has been contained in his body, he didn't notice it along the way.

After arriving outside the temple, Zhang Ke was invited to leave the shoulder, and he had to walk the rest of the way to the main hall by himself.

Before entering the door, he looked up, and there were three large characters painted in gold lacquer on the plaque at the temple gate - Xiyue Temple.

As soon as Zhang Ke saw these three words, he understood.

Xiyue Emperor is one of the Five Sacred Mountains, a group of gods who stand at the top of the earth gods. It is not too much to match with a temple of this size.

Zhang Ke was weird before,
Even though Datang is thinking about waste utilization, these cunning and snake spirits are potential risk factors, and they are thrown away from the emperor on this mountain. With their nature, it is not purely giving them a chance to cause disaster party?

But with a Xiyue Temple built in this town, all this is not a problem.

Those in Huashan dominate the world of gold, silver, copper and iron, and also the affairs of birds with wings. "It means that the god of Huashan is in charge of the world's gold, silver, and metals. "Gold" means gold, silver, treasure, and "money" means war.

Here, Emperor Huashan can not only supervise those cunning and snake gods, but also his authority can also influence the direction of the war, and in the end, he can also be like a nail to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road.

Kill three birds with one stone and make a lot of money!
　Thank you for your reward
