In the afternoon, the Wakhan Corridor between the mountains is even darker.
The road met the stream, although it was winter and it was already frozen, but the caravan was still shouting in multiple languages, and slowly stopped, preparing for a short repair.
Some people took out the dry food and filled it with water from the water bag, so that they would not eat the next meal.
The people wearing light leather armor and holding weapons are vigilantly taking turns eating.After all, this long road is not safe.
In this corridor of hundreds of kilometers, there are many robbers who graze on weekdays and occasionally ride horses with knives and bows.
With a bright bald head and a dharma world wearing a gray fluttering monk's robe, he fastened his camel, and in the slightly dim sky, listening to the whimpering sound of the water flowing under the ice, he took out rough dry food and chewed it.
The leeward here, the cold temporarily subsided, but a little further away, the fierce cold wind was still blowing, and in the long valley, there was a shocking howl.
On the cheeks of the Dharma interface chewing dry food, there are vicissitudes and aging that have gone through the wind and rain.
Through the deep facial features and slightly thicker hair, it can be clearly seen that he is a mixed Han and Hu.
Halfway through chewing, he suddenly looked up to both sides, and saw that there was still a trace of afterglow on the towering and steep snow-capped mountains, making the white snow more and more dazzling.
Although the Dharma Realm has escaped into the empty door for many years, at this moment, it is still uncontrollable, and there is an indescribable emotion.
Counting it, the last time I saw such a scene was actually thirty-six years ago!
I do not know more than one hundred and forty years ago, after seventeen years, Master Xuanzang returned from a westward journey to seek the Dharma, and how did he feel when he saw the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the river that did not melt all year round?
Without clasping his hands together, the Dharma Realm sighed in his heart: "I am so young, I am nostalgic for my hometown, and after all, my roots have not faded away, and it is difficult to achieve positive results."
At this time, someone suddenly asked in Chinese with a Chang'an accent: "This Master, you and I have traveled this far, and have not asked for the name of the law."
Hearing this, Dharma Realm turned his head to look and found that he was a young westerner with black hair and brown eyes.
Seeing the Dharma Realm look over, the young man quickly sorted out his armor: "I'm from Rome, and my Chinese name is Li De."
Putting his hands together and nodding slightly, the Dharma Realm said peacefully: "Li donor, the poor monk in the Dharma Realm. I don't know where the donor mandarin came from?"
Li De laughed: "We also have your Tang businessmen there. I learned from them. By the way, Master Dharma Realm, you are a Tang monk, how come you come here?"
The mind of the Dharma world was difficult to understand, and he was speechless for a moment, and Fang Shengfang seemed to have a feeling and said: "The poor monk was originally a member of the Four Gates of the Four Gates of Jingzhou, the left guard of the Tang Dynasty. return."
"In the twelfth year of Tianbao, the embassy set off from Jibin to prepare to return to Chang'an and arrived at Gandhara. The poor monk was seriously ill and could not move. He stayed in Gandhara to recover from his illness, and made a vow: If he is cured, he will become a monk. ."
"I've been alone in a foreign land for decades, and the older I get, the more I want to return home."
"My teacher, Shili Yuemo, took pity on me, granted me what I asked for, and gave me the "Ten Power Sutra" and other Sanskrit scriptures to bring back to the Tang Dynasty, so that I have something to explain. Therefore, I have this journey of return."
The more you talk about it, the more complicated the mind of the Dharma realm becomes.
When he was ordered to leave Chang'an by Emperor Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty was still prosperous, but a few years after Gandhara entered the empty gate, he heard news from the business traveler that An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled.
And he climbed over the Kush Mountains of Hindu Kush last year to the country of Tochara, and after hearing about this for more than [-] years, he has actually experienced the four emperors. The once prosperous and prosperous Tang Dynasty has shown a clear trend of decline.
How could this not make him feel like a dream.
Li De, who doesn't have much heart, also heard that the great monk in front of him was uneasy, and turned to talk about this trip: "I heard from the caravan people that in one day's journey, we will be able to step into the Great Tang Anxi. Within the territory of the Protectorate, Master of the Dharma Realm, you will soon be able to return to your hometown."
Reassured by this, the Dharma Realm only nodded his head, and then asked Li De: "Master Li, poor monk Guan, you are neither a messenger nor a businessman. You dare to ask why you are walking alone and going to the Tang Dynasty alone."
Li De immediately grinned, but after laughing, he suddenly became dumb: "This is because I admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty, so I chose a Chinese name for myself, just to see what the businessmen say about the complexities. **Spend."
"Secondly, it's because I split my brother's title, he always dislikes me, and I don't want to be intrigued with those nobles in the city all day long, so I go out for a long trip."
"When I go back, I'm getting old, and I'll tell my future children and grandchildren what I've seen and heard along the way, and let them know that this world is so vast, not just small forests and cities."
The Dharma Realm was a little puzzled: "The woods?"
Li De nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "Like your Tang country, our nobles also have back covers, and the family name is usually the name of the fief. The fief of our family is a certain forest."
At this moment, the Dharma Realm's eyes suddenly condensed, and he stood up in a "fly", walked out of the leeward, and looked out in the cold wind.
I saw in the sky far away, a golden beam of light rose into the sky, and then spread to this point, quickly obscuring the entire sky as far as the eye could see.
"Master of the Dharma Realm, what's the matter?" Li De stepped forward and followed his gaze, only to see Yuntian getting darker and darker.
The Dharma Realm was inexplicably shocked by what he saw. When he looked back, he found that Li De was full of doubts, as if he had not seen it at all. He couldn't help but say, "Master Li, such a magnificent vision! Didn't you see it?"
Li De was even more at a loss: "Ah? This... how can there be..."
Hearing this, Dharma Realm turned around and saw that the rest of the caravan members looked as usual, but there were only a few who looked at him curiously.
Under the astonishment in his heart, he gradually understood something, and looked up to the sky again, only to see that the beam of light was gone, but there were still occasional hidden golden glows emerging from the clouds.
Dharma Realm is a monk who has practiced for nearly [-] years. Although shock and doubts are intertwined, he still reluctantly suppresses his emotions. He picks up the beads in his hand and twists them, but he doesn't say anything.
Li De looked at the old monk in the Dharma Realm, silently turned back to the leeward, took out a straw mat and a thick quilt from the camel's bag, laid one on a stone and the other on his back, and recited the scriptures in a low voice.
He was bewildered, but he didn't ask any further questions when it was only a matter of time when the religious personnel were in trouble.
Darkness enveloped the earth, and the temperature dropped rapidly.
People were clad in bedding, huddled in camels to keep warm, and they were still shivering from the cold.
The Dharma Realm has not slept for a long time.
As a religious person, he knows better than ordinary people that there is no magical power in this world, but what he saw in the afternoon still reverberated in his mind.
After practicing for his age, the cold could no longer make him feel pain, but the smell of camels and his restlessness made him sleepless.
Just then, there was a slight tremor on the ground.
Dharma Realm just sat up vigilantly, when he saw a man with a knife to watch the night, and suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack! Horse thief!!!"
.......
Chapter 198
The screams of the night watchman woke everyone up.
Before Li De opened his eyes, he pulled out the Roman long sword beside him, lifted the quilt to stand up, and took off the shield hanging from the camel.
Starting from the Eastern Roman Empire and stepping over the enemy country Dashi (Ara Empire), the hardships and dangers encountered along the way have melted what he learned in the past into his bones and become an excellent warrior.
Even the [-]-year-old old monk from the Dharma Realm also took out a long stick.
In his early years, he was a military attache of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would not have been ordered to escort the mission.
After everyone took out their weapons, the vibration of the ground was gradually replaced by the sound of hoofs, and a group of vague silhouettes gradually appeared in the night.
The head of the caravan looked a little ugly.
Ordinary small nomadic robbers will not act rashly after seeing that they have such a large caravan, and everyone is armed with weapons.
But now, judging by the sound of hooves alone, the number of horse thieves rushing in is far beyond imagination.
"Breakout and avoid disaster!"
The caravan leader said helplessly in his heart.
In the night, a group of horse thieves gradually became clear, and they stopped after a certain distance.
After identifying the caravan leader, he found that there were nearly [-] horse thieves in total. He took a step and shouted in the Tang Dynasty: "You heroes! I have been running the business for many years, understand the rules of the road, and I will take one of the belongings that I bring. The deal is for you."
"We have more than [-] people with weapons, all of them old and young, and we live by running merchants. This property is our life. This move is already a cost, hope you all heroes Haihan!"
The legal world heard that the words of the caravan leader were soft and hard.
When the words fell, the horse thieves did not respond at all, and the caravan leader let people shout again in the local language, even Tocharian, Turkic, and Tibetan.
The horse thief still did not respond.
Everyone realized that something was wrong, and even though their hands were frozen, they still held on to their weapons.
The sound of the hoofs started again, but it was very slow, not like a rush.
I saw the group of people pacing the horse slowly, gradually approaching the dangerous distance.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing.
The sound of horse hooves was like a knock in the heart.
"Everyone! Please stop, so as not to cause you and me to misunderstand and fight!" The leader of the caravan was also fierce, and he drew a machete and warned sharply.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and the horse thief's face finally came into everyone's eyes clearly. It was indeed a local nomad.
But it was the people on horseback who made them gasp for breath. Their eyes were like wild wolves, glowing with green evil light in the night, and it was chilling to watch.
The horse thief headed looked at the crowd, and while the corners of his mouth did not move, he raised his mouth to a great extent, smiling strangely.
"Be us."
He spoke a hoarse and repressed strange language, but it was strange that the people present understood the meaning.
Li De swallowed his saliva, always feeling that these horse thieves are not normal people, then turned to look at the only religious person in the team, and said in a low voice:
"Master of the Dharma Realm, look at this..."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the leader of the horse thief out of the corner of his eye, and looked at him suddenly, causing the rest of his words to get stuck in his throat.
This time, the corner of the horse thief leader's frozen mouth also rose quickly, the green evil light in his eyes became more and more vigorous, and the hoarse and repressed strange language also came out again:
"Finally found you... This time and space, the person who carries the concept..."
Before everyone understood what was going on, they saw a dark evil light suddenly emerge from under his skin, and his entire body was still expanding, just like some kind of dim light mucus, which was constantly expanding his skin.
This bizarre scene made the group of ancients terrified and staggered back while their weapons trembled. Some of them tripped over stones and fell to the ground.
"Monster... monster!"
The Tang people in the team widened their eyes and said with a trembling voice.
And the big cannibal wrapped in a turban roared loudly: "Ibu bad servant (devil)! Ibu bad servant 〃々!"
This scene has exceeded everyone's imagination.
Li De was speechless.
For the Dharma Realm, it may be that what he saw in the afternoon has already created some kind of foreshadowing in his heart, and after years of practice, his xinxing is far beyond ordinary people, so although it is shocking at this moment, it has not yet reached the point of eclipse.
"Boom!"
After hitting the stone with a stick and waking everyone up with a muffled sound, the old monk hurriedly shouted: "Don't run!"
At this moment, the leader of the horse thief swelled to the limit, and together with the horse under the crotch, it had completely lost its original shape and turned into a huge sphere covered with dim light mucus.
Everyone ran away in terror.
