my weird life.

Chapter 803 Eternal Sinking (22)

"Lord Dongxiong, Lord Langkan, Lord Jeb... none of your sons and grandsons changed on the first day.

The next day they gathered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in their respective manors.

Today is the third day, and they asked the servants to prepare a good carriage, but they stayed at home all day today, and they never went anywhere in the carriage. "

Kneeling on the dark red blanket in the hall, Shi Du performed dog salute to the Tubo Prime Minister 'Zhong Jijie' who was seated at the head, and reported the movements of several descendants of the Maxiang family that Zhong Jijie ordered them to monitor.

"Is it getting dark?"

After hearing Shi Du's words, Zhong Jijie got up from behind the short desk, walked to the window opening, and pushed open the window panel.

The sun trembled in the sky, about to sink below the plateau.

The plateau will be shrouded in cold darkness.

Shi Du lowered his head, and responded: "Lord Dongxiong, Lord Langkan, and the others may leave in a carriage after dark—someone will stay and watch in their respective manors."

"Okay." Zhongba nodded, and said to his servant Du, "Send a letter to your subordinates so that they don't disturb my sons and grandchildren, just follow them and see where they end up just fine.

Make them turn back the same way, and I will reward them with gold beads, gold shells, and silver grains! "

"Yes!"

Shi Du respectfully responded, and after getting Zhong Jijie's approval, he bent over and retreated slowly from the dimly-lit hall, transferred to his own 'Maben', turned into a gust of black wind, walked through the darkness, and passed by Zhong Jijie. The manors of the sons and grandsons of Jijiexiang conveyed the orders of Zhongjiexiang to the other servants who stayed in each manor one by one.

He finally returned to Lord Dongxiong's manor, and pretended to be a slave in the manor, hiding here, waiting for the night to darken.

Lord Dongxiong was very kind to his slaves. He would allow them to sleep with their cows and sheep in their pens, and he would give them fourteen spoonfuls of tsampa every day. Some' territories require slaves to work for him, in order to be extra merciful to the slaves in the manor.

It has been more than eight months since he inherited this territory, and none of the slaves in his manor has died.

He is widely praised in the name of Lord Dongxiong's benevolence.

The descendants of the Maxiang family that Minister Zhong Jijie ordered Shi Du to monitor actually belonged to the category that had just inherited the territory, and even had not yet been allocated the territory. They have not yet fully learned to distinguish themselves from slaves. Those slaves were also more merciful, but Shi Du believed that when they got used to the current life, sooner or later they would become just like other orthodox nobles.

Relying on the kindness of Lord Maxiang Dongxiong, Shi Du, like other slaves, was driven into the sheepfold, with only iron chains tied around his ankles and wrists, and he was not imprisoned in that kind of horizontal wooden shackles.

In the smelly sheep pen, he can still move his hands and feet freely.

In the sheep pen, those stinky slaves picked up the sheep and hid in the dark corner one by one, and fell asleep with the warmth of the sheep's fur.

Shi Du leaned against the wooden pillar, and while the other slaves were not paying attention, he forcibly pushed away an ewe that was approaching.

The starlight outside the shed combined with the cold wind, blowing into the airy shed on all sides.

Lord Dongxiong's manor fell into silence.

This silence didn't last long, and the sound of horseshoes began to become denser.

The slaves, who had been tired all day, slept soundly with their sheep in their arms. Shi Du quietly walked to the door of the shed, raised his head slightly, and watched the scene outside.

he sees—

Luxuriously carved carriages were parked in front of the exquisite watchtower separated from the area where the slaves lived, and the horses were kicking their hooves on the spot.

Lord Maxiang Dongxiong's wife, concubine, and children boarded the carriage one by one.

Not long after,

The whole horse team started to march, passed through the gates in front of the two watchtowers, and ran all the way to the outside of the manor.

Lord Ma Xiang took all the family members he could bring with him, rode in a carriage, and rushed to the legendary "under that hill" - a thought flashed through Shi Du's mind.

The legend of 'Under the hill' has been spread in Shenshenben religion.

According to the rumors, only those who have never killed innocent people or committed evil deeds can sense the location of the mysterious place when they hear the word "below that mountain" and go to "that mountain." Get off the post', that is, you can get eternal peace!
Shi Du has dealt with too many shady things for Zhong Jijie, the blood of innocent people stained on his hands is already extremely thick, when he heard the word "under that hill", he didn't feel any emotion.

However, Dongxiong, Lang Kan and other descendants of the Maxiang clan never really killed anyone.Minister Zhong Jijie ordered Shidu to monitor them, naturally because they sensed the existence of "under that hill" - they abandoned their manor, only brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and their families, and they were ready to go Cast to 'under that hill'!
The miracle of 'under that hill' can make the descendants of the Maxiang family willing to abandon their current life of luxury and wealth and their high status, and go to join it?
In other words, the Maxiang family has reached a critical juncture, and the life of the nobles and lords of the Maxiang family will eventually disappear in an instant like a mirror flower and a moon in water—so these descendants of the Maxiang family can give up their current life. Phantom, go for 'below that hill'?
However, these descendants of the Maxiang family sensed the location of "under that hill", but it does not mean that their wives, concubines, and children could also sense the location of "under that hill"—they brought The family went to search for 'under the hill', can the mysterious place give them a response?

Thoughts flooded Shi Du's mind.

He watched Dongxiong nobleman's convoy drive straight and was about to drive out of the manor—a bloody arm sprouted from his wrist and ankle, and the arms exuding gloomy charm grabbed the chains on his hands and feet and pulled gently , break the chain!

Shi Du climbed over the low wall of the sheep shed without a sound, got on his 'horse book', and chased after Lord Dongxiong's convoy!

The convoy rushed into the cold night.

On the dark plain, there are only lanterns hanging on the carriage, which can slightly illuminate the surrounding roads.

The attendant drove Ma Ben, turned into a black wind, and hovered around the convoy.

The Duben divisions who were in charge of guarding the nobles in the convoy did not notice Si Duben at all—he hid himself very well.

Inside a carriage in the middle of the convoy.

The obese lord Dongxiong was covered in silk and satin, sitting in the carriage, his body almost occupied most of the carriage seat, the concubine could only sit on his lap, and kept reaching out to caress his chest, to relieve the pain. His heart was beating wildly.

Dongxiong clenched his hands into fists, staring fixedly at the two carriage doors in front of him, beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

"Go south from here!"

At a certain moment, Dongxiong suddenly shouted.

The concubine immediately turned to look outside the car door.

"Go south!"

The driver who drove the car responded immediately.

"Go south!"

Dongxiong's order quickly spread throughout the convoy, and the car formation turned south.

The concubine turned around and let out a soft breath.

She caressed Dongxiong's chest, comforting him, and at the same time said in a soft voice: "'Under that hill' has been responding to you, you have never lost your way, why are you so nervous?"

"You also heard the words 'under that hill', why didn't that mysterious place respond to you?" Dong Xiong calmed down a little, he didn't answer the question of his concubine, and gently squeezed the other's waist with his palm, and expressed The concubine asked.

"I don't know..." The concubine's eyes concealed anxiety.

Dongxiong sighed, and said in a low voice: "In the entire manor, I was the only one who established contact with that mysterious place after hearing the words 'below that hill', and that mysterious place also responded to my call. I showed the way forward.

But when my father mentioned "under that hill", he clearly said that as long as "the hands have never been stained with the blood of innocent people, and have never committed any great evil", the words "under that hill" can be treated. There is an induction..."

The concubine lowered her head, her eyes became more disturbed.

Dongxiong was unaware of her reaction, pinched the delicate flesh on her waist, and continued: "Father said so, but the actual situation is not like this.

Like you, like my wife, like my son and daughter...

You usually can't bear to see a sheep being killed in front of your eyes, so how can you get the blood of innocent people on your hands?How could it be possible to do something terrible?
But you didn't respond to the words "under that hill".

——It can be seen that what the father said may be wrong.

Only specific people can sense the existence of 'under that hill'.

I'm just worried right now - I'm that specific person, if I go to that hill alone, there shouldn't be any problem, but I brought some of you who didn't sense the existence of that hill... No Do you know if you can still get close to that mysterious place? "

The concubine lowered her head and let out a soft breath.

When she heard Dongxiong say that his wife and children are kind-hearted people, and it is impossible to get the blood of innocent people on their hands, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"Don't worry, sir.

You are a destined person who can sense the location of that mysterious place.

With your leadership, we will all be able to reach 'under that hill'.

The gods have chosen you, you have chosen us, and since you have chosen, you cannot change it..." In the carriage, the concubine persuaded Dongxiong softly.

Dongxiong embraced his concubine, and in the next hour, he gave orders to the horse team to change direction more than ten times.

Shi Du turned into a black wind, hovering around the carriage all the time.

Until the cold night passes.

Until every horse has worn out its four hooves and is exhausted.

At dawn, a team of horses that had been frozen in the cold night stayed on the plain.

Everyone in this team of horses was frozen to death with the horses.

Within a radius of ten miles where they were, there were densely packed horseshoe prints all over the place.

Those horseshoe prints were superimposed layer by layer, and the soil was trampled down to form a big circle.

The soil in the large circle is sunken a foot deeper than the surrounding area.

Throughout the long night, the horse team kept repeating and turning around this circle.

Beside the horse team, Shi Du and his horse Ben perish together.

In the distance, a man in ragged clothes with lightning marks engraved between his eyebrows led many people in the same clothes to approach the convoy full of gold, silver, treasures and food.
