the enlightener says

Although not as good as a war horse, it is almost the same.

In this kind of place, are there any distinguished guests who can ride such a fine horse?And listening to their panting and heartbeat, it was obvious that the four horses were still running vigorously just now.

Qin Ke stretched out his hand and touched it, the horse was wet, it was sweat.

"These people are also on their way." Cai Yan immediately came to a conclusion, "At this time, in terms of horsepower, there is no need for them to rush so fast, and it's the same for staying overnight at the previous farm. There is no need to forcefully come here to find an inn. What's more Seeing that they haven't even taken off their saddles, it seems that they don't even plan to stay here, and they have to travel all night."

Qin Ke nodded. He didn't know who the owners of these horses were, but these signs made him a little uneasy. Could it be that they were coming for them?

But who?His complexion changed, Abu and Gao Yishui were still in the inn!

He started to run quickly, and as soon as he got up the steps, he heard a familiar voice saying: "Master, this place has entered the boundary of Funiu Mountain, should we rest for a night first?"

Is it Lupu?He is not dead yet!

Qin Ke was shocked, and wanted to reach out to open the door of the inn, but soon his hand stopped again.

Through the crack of the door, he saw some fire in the cramped front hall of the inn. Several people were sitting around the fire, eating freshly roasted meat. Lu Ming's face was a little tired, but his eyes were still deep and unpredictable.

Four horses, they naturally have four people.

Qin Ke knew Lupu's strength, and the person he could call "Master" would not be weaker than him. Although he broke through the blood realm again after that night and had reached the third realm, Qin Ke couldn't help it. Ke also has Cai Yan and Gao Yishui who don't know how to practice, and he doesn't dare to alarm these people rashly.

He touched his waist subconsciously, and cursed in a low voice, he should have brought the Bodhisattva out, at least, to have a better chance of winning.

The innkeeper stood timidly behind them, holding spicy soup and porridge in his hands. Although he had seen many rangers with swords, these people gave him a completely different feeling. On such a night, they came galloping on horseback, and the movement seemed like they were going to kill someone somewhere.

Lu Pu stretched out his hand, took the pottery bowl from the shopkeeper, and handed the meat porridge to Lu Ming. Lu Ming took it and said softly, "You must enter the mountain overnight. According to the time, the boy you mentioned should have already entered the mountain." That's it."

Lu Pu's eyes darkened, he lowered his head, not daring to say any more.

The four of them came all the way by transferring eight horses. For two days and one night, they barely closed their eyes. Halfway through, the other four horses could no longer run at all. Lu Ming simply threw the four horses on the road. .

There is no concentrate and no one to take care of it. It is foreseeable that even if the four horses recover, they will not be as fat and strong as before.

But Lu Ming didn't care at all. To him, these horses were just tools. Since the tool was broken, it would be no pity to replace it with another one.

It's just that after such a long-distance raid, the four of them were already a little tired, but Lu Ming held a high status in their hearts, so they naturally didn't dare to disobey too much, so they could only lower their heads and quickly sweep the food on the table, Replenishes strength.

But Lu Pu's heart was even more depressed. He knew that he had lost Lu Ming's trust.

The last time he was in the palace, not only was he injured by Li Si's hand, he fled in a hurry, but he also failed to join Wu Ting and walk out of the palace together.Although we don't know the whereabouts of Wu Ting now, but since he is trapped in the palace, it is naturally more ominous than ominous.

As for the few silk books that Lu Ming wanted, he didn't get them. Even though the whole process was full of accidents, he still couldn't absolve himself of the blame.

Now, if he wants to restore Lu Ming's trust in him, there is only one way.

Lu Ming met Qin Ke and Abu when he was performing martial arts in front of the Jingwu Palace. With Lu Pu's explanation, he naturally knew who took the silk scroll. Relying on some information found in the Tang Dynasty, they tracked it all the way here .

If the silk book can be successfully recaptured, or the boy can be killed to relieve his anger, his previous crimes may be offset to some extent.

However, Funiu Mountain is so big, where should I find it?

Suddenly, Lu Pu frowned, he felt a gaze circling around him, he suddenly raised his head, but he couldn't find out who was looking at him like that.The shopkeeper standing aside waiting for orders lowered his head and looked at his toes. Honestly, he didn't even dare to say aloud.

illusion?He lowered his head again, eating the roasted meat and the spicy soup in the earthenware bowl. It is always good to eat more, although the spicy soup in the countryside is not very good, it is better than the dry food on the road tasty.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, the person he was looking for was standing outside the door, only twenty steps away from him.

Qin Ke withdrew his gaze, his heart was beating a little fast, he quietly walked away from the door, walked to Cai Yan who was standing in the distance, and said, "It's those bandits... one of them even fought with me in the palace. silk book."

Cai Yan didn't know much about this matter, but she nodded with half-knowledge, and said in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

"It seems that they don't know we're here. They plan to enter Funiu Mountain overnight. Let's hide first, and then go in to discuss with Lao Gao after they leave."

Cai Yan glanced at the door, hummed lightly, and soon followed Qin Ke to find a high place suitable for observation.

Qin Ke even found some straw and spread it on the two of them, so that even under the moonlight and starlight, others would only think that it was a stack of straw, not two people.

It's just that in this way, the distance between the two has to be closer, almost cuddling each other.

Qin Ke's mind was fixed on the inn, so he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. He just huddled in the straw and carefully stared in the direction of the guest stable - if they wanted to leave overnight, they would naturally need to go to the stable to fetch the horses.

However, as time went by, he faintly felt a faint scent of flowers surrounding him. After he sniffed carefully for a while, he found that this scent of flowers actually came from Cai Yan's body.

But, where did she get this smell?Is it a sachet?

Cai Yan sensed Qin Ke's strange behavior, so he also turned his gaze back from the inn, stared at Qin Ke, and said, "What's wrong?"

Qin Ke who was smashed was flustered for a while, and hurriedly lowered his head, stammering: "No...it's nothing..."

Cai Yan did not doubt that he was there, and continued to look at the stable, wondering what he was thinking about.However, her neck seemed to be stained with a bit of blush.

Chapter 311

Lu Ming and his three men walked out of the inn about a quarter of an hour later. One of them was a bit slower, probably holding a wine bag, and asked the store to fill him with wine, and dawdled for a while.

Lu Ming was a little displeased, but he also knew how these bandits behaved, so he didn't say much. He pulled the reins, got on his horse, and quickly rode away in the lead.

Then Lu Pu and the other two followed closely behind, and the sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, until Qin Ke turned on the wind vision and could no longer hear it, so he pulled Cai Yan out from the straw together.

"Didn't you just wash your hair, why is there straw on it again..." Qin Ke looked at Cai Yan's appearance, couldn't help laughing, and ran his hands between her hair to help her remove the straw.

And Cai Yan rolled his eyes, his face was a little hot, and he muttered: "That's not the straw you spread."

The two ran to the upstairs room one after the other, but neither Gao Yishui nor Abu fell asleep, and the room was so quiet that the slight beating of the candle could be heard.

"Going away?" Gao Yishui asked.

"Let's go." Qin Ke nodded, "It's the bandits."

Of course Gao Yishui understood: "I know, I'll know when I see the leader."

"The leader?" Although Qin Ke stayed in Jingwu, he was not familiar with Lu Ming, "Who is he?"

"I said how the bandits have the arrow formations of the Great Wall, so it's him, so it's no wonder." Gao Yishui looked at Abu.

Abu understood what he meant, and knelt down and said to Qin Ke: "That is Lu Ming, General Mulan's military adviser, who has won the trust of the Mu family. He was also among us when we performed martial arts in front of the palace that day."

"Martial arts performance in front of the hall?" Qin Ke was slightly taken aback, but after careful recollection, he shook his head and said, "I don't remember, after all, I didn't know anyone in the hall that day, so I didn't bother to pay attention, and what happened later trouble……"

He was talking about the assassination of Zhuge Wanling.

Gao Yishui closed his eyes and muttered: "Being able to become General Mulan's military adviser proves that he has enough strength to suppress the heroes. The entire military and political system of the Great Wall is still the same as that of the previous dynasty. No vassals, the highest rank is the general, and the second is the military adviser. So, he should be the second person on the Great Wall, why is he now reduced to mixing with a group of bandits?"

Abu's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be that he is secretly carrying out the task given to him by the Great Wall?"

Gao Yishui shook his head and said: "If the Great Wall asked him to come, why didn't he bring the masters under the command of the Great Wall Army? Although these bandits have some cultivation, they are still a lot worse than the real masters of the Great Wall Army. Mission, this arrangement is a bit sloppy, right?"

He looked at Qin Ke, and said meaningfully: "You said bandits competed with you for silk books in the palace, and these bandits obeyed Lu Ming's orders. In other words, this Lu Ming...he is also looking for Wuxing Sinan. "

Of course Qin Ke understood, but he didn't understand why Lu Ming needed Wuxing Sinan.

Gao Yishui continued: "In my opinion, there are three situations in which he wants the Five Elements Siman. The first is that he wants to find other artifacts with the Five Elements Siman. As for what he wants to do, I will not talk about it. The second Kind of, he wants to find Wuxing Sinan for the Great Wall Army. After all, according to the legend, Wuxing Sinan can feel the wind and grass in a radius of a hundred miles. If this legend is true, then for the Great Wall Army, this is undoubtedly a weapon against the invasion of fierce beasts. The supreme weapon."

He paused, but Qin Ke didn't hear the third one, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the third one?"

"What's the rush? I'm drinking. Just now, people were drinking and eating meat downstairs, but I've been watching here, and now my mouth is parched." Gao Yishui stood up, poured a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, Then he smiled and said, "The third one, of course, is also the most unlikely one in my opinion, that is...he is also someone who has received some kind of divine enlightenment."

This is true, Qin Ke's master, Zhuge Wolong, was looking for the missing artifact, and from the old man from the Taishi Bureau, Gao Yishui also guessed that there is an unknown relationship between the person who received the divine revelation and the artifact. If Lu Ming was looking for artifacts purely for the sake of finding artifacts, it is naturally possible that he was on the same road as Zhuge Wanling and the old man from the Taishi Bureau.

But Qin Ke didn't think that Shen Qi was such a bad street, and it was too coincidental to meet anyone on the same road.

"It's unlikely. The bandit in the palace that day was shocked to death by the old man's words. If they had any connection, they shouldn't have done this..." Qin Ke said.

Gao Yishui said with a smile: "So I said this is the most unlikely possibility." Shrugging his shoulders, he continued, "Since we can't think clearly now, we might as well not think about it."

"Then what do we do now?" Abu asked nervously.

Gao Yishui yawned, scratched his armpit, and became lazy all of a sudden: "Now? Of course it's sleeping. They went to Funiu Mountain to arrest us. Is it possible that we have to chase after their horse's ass all night and shout?"

Rough words are not rough.

Qin Ke and Abu looked at each other, and naturally understood that this was the most appropriate way.It was already late at night, they couldn't catch up with Lu Ming against Ye Lu, and insisted on having an unnecessary fight with him.

Preparing for a rainy day is certainly a far-sighted idea, but Lu Ming, as the No. [-] figure of the Great Wall Army, has been battle-hardened and is already a very difficult character to deal with.

Coupled with the two bandits who don't know the depth and a Lupu who has at least the peak of the first realm, once he makes a move, even if he is already in the third realm of qi and blood, even if Abu is within a hair's breadth of breaking through the third realm In between, but he did not dare to say that he could win.

Qin Ke thought for a while, and still worried: "If the news has been leaked, in case they find that tea shop first..."

Gao Yishui stretched his waist: "I don't think there is any need to worry. The person who can 'save' the Five Elements Sinan in the palace of the Tang Dynasty will not be a character who can be slaughtered. It is not certain who will suffer. Even after so many years He has already ascended to immortality, and he always wants to give some enlightenment to his descendants."

"Oh." Qin Keweng responded angrily, took off his coat, and got into bed again.

It was still the previous arrangement, the three men slept on the floor, Cai Yan slept on the bed alone, they turned off the lights, the room was suddenly dark and silent, Qin Ke closed his eyes forcefully, the whole night was full of strange dreams.

The next morning, when it was still daylight, a group of people had already left the inn. The boss made a lot of bread with great enthusiasm, and added some dried meat, just for the four of them to eat while walking on the road.

The bells on the donkey's neck jingled, and the donkey cart slowly moved towards Funiu Mountain in the morning fog.

From a distance, Funiu Mountain looks like a huge squatting green ox. Its high back is facing the sky, and its huge head is facing the north. What a spectacular sight it would be if the "cow" stood up.

The wind blows the valley, making the sound like a cow braying, and the sound of the moso bamboo and pine trees swaying gently, like the cow chewing the hay in its mouth slowly and calmly.

As the donkey cart went deeper, many woodcutters who were chopping firewood passed by on the road. At the same time, there were also some hunters dressed in animal skins and carrying bows and arrows on their backs, preparing to go hunting in the mountains.

Unlike the innkeepers, most of these hunters were local barbarians. They spoke the local dialect and babbled a lot, speaking to Qin Ke who couldn't understand at all, so that he suspected that the characters he had learned were all fake.

And Gao Yishui spoke at this time, facing several people, he was also chattering for a while, looking at his familiar appearance, he seemed to be more local than the locals, the only difference was his appearance and figure, which seemed too slender and thin Some.

"What did they say?" Qin Ke looked at Gao Yishui happily chatting with them, and groaned strangely.

Gao Yishui sneered, and looked at Qin Ke with an expression of "look at your uneducated appearance", raised his chin and said, "They said that it's better for outsiders not to wander around here. There are many monsters in the depths of Funiu Mountain." Beast, with bad luck, can easily die inside."

This is not surprising, such a mountain has stood for an unknown number of years, and it was transformed by a green bull under the seat of a saint in the legend.

At this time, Qin Ke's chest throbbed, and Xiao Hei, who had rarely woken up, poked out his head from his collar, and looked at the mountains with two big eyes, as if he was in deep thought, and seemed to have received some kind of induction.

Chapter 312 Wizard

Xiao Hei twitched his nose a few times, let out a soft cry, and jumped down from Qin Ke's chest, but was caught by Cai Yan.

"Hey, it came out again." Cai Yan seemed a little excited. On the way, Xiao Hei only woke up once, and when he woke up, he started eating and drinking, and the one who called Qin Ke and Abu abruptly. Most of the wild boar had been eaten. If Qin Ke hadn't cut a piece of meat from the wild boar in advance, they might have had to eat cold dry food that night.

But it never seems to excrete?Qin Ke was secretly amazed at the same time, but also secretly rejoiced, in case this guy shits and pees, in case it suddenly...

Ugh... That scene was really unbearable, it's better not to think about it.

Of course Cai Yan likes this spiritual little guy very much, but it's a pity that not everything in this world likes beautiful women, just like for a donkey who bows its head and gnaws grass, the most suitable partner is a handsome female donkey, for Xiao Hei ... It is estimated that a suitable partner should also be a lizard with beautiful patterns.

Therefore, he has never had much patience with Cai Yan, and struggled as soon as he got into Cai Yan's hands.

It screamed, as if threatening Cai Yan, but because of Qin Ke's face, he couldn't really move his mouth to bite, so he seemed very helpless for a while.

And Qin Ke is happy to make Xiao Hei more trouble, who makes him always look down upon him?

However, after several struggles, Xiao Hei jumped out of Cai Yan's hand, and after a few jumps, he landed on the donkey's head. This donkey was obviously not as sensitive as Hei Feng's back then. On its head, it was still gnawing on the weeds on the ground foolishly, with a fuzzy look, which seemed a bit funny.

Gao Yishui had some conversations with those local barbarians, probably asking about the location of the tea shop, and only after asking did he find out that the tea shop was actually opened in the depths of Funiu Mountain.

Since the depths of Funiu Mountain are the habitat of monsters, how can people open a tea shop?

"They said that the owner of the tea shop must be possessed by a god, so there are no monsters near the tea shop. Many barbarian hunters like them will go to the tea shop to drink a bowl of tea after entering the mountains. Please be safe." Gao Yishui said.

After all, they are barbarians, so they can always get involved with gods. As for their gods... Looking at the tall man with a bow and arrow depicted on their bows, there is a simple image of a black dog squatting next to them—probably the totem of their barbarians god?

"However, it is very interesting to be able to open a tea shop in the area where monsters and beasts are active." Gao Yishui laughed softly to himself, and slowly fanned a folding fan that came out of nowhere.

Qin Ke rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to pay attention to his pretentious "strength". He glanced at Cai Yan who was trying to catch Xiao Hei again, and asked, "Then you know how to get away?"

"Of course, who am I? Is there a place in this world that I can't find?" Gao Yishui said with his chest out.

But soon, he showed his true colors: "I have already made an agreement with that barbarian. He will be our guide. I promise to give him a few taels of silver and let him take it to a nearby village to exchange some cloth. These barbarians are so poor that they don't have enough clothes. Covering the body, there is such a good thing, of course people will not refuse."

"..." Qin Ke looked at him with blank eyes, and gave him a thumbs up against his will.

The barbarian guide was tall, and he wore animal skins over his cloth clothes. His hair was messy and his beard was greasy, but his black eyes were shining.

His name is Batum. According to Gao Yishui, Batum means "tiger" in their language. Since his father gave him such a name, he naturally hoped that he would be as brave as a tiger. As for Whether he has achieved such bravery, thinking about the hares and roe deer hanging on his shoulders, he should have a deep understanding.

However, Qin Ke soon discovered that this barbarian named "Tiger" had another characteristic, that is, he talked a lot.

Perhaps it was the rough blood of the barbarians that flowed in his body, which gave him such a bold and eclectic temperament. Along the way, he kept praising Gao Yishui for speaking the barbarian language well, and also praised Abu Na from time to time. With a figure as tall as an iron tower and his strong arms, in his opinion, Abu is undoubtedly a "warrior".

As for Qin Ke, he quickly skipped over it, and what made him even more dumbfounded was that after he looked at Cai Yan carefully, what he said was: "This woman is not good, she is too thin to have a baby. "

Qin Ke couldn't help laughing.

In fact, Cai Yan is not thin and thin, at least compared to those officials and ladies who seldom move around in the boudoir all year round, Cai Yan is well-proportioned and agile, like a fierce wild cat, with strong flesh on his arms.

However, for Batum, a woman must at least be as strong as he is, so that when her husband goes hunting in the future, she can take good care of the children and hold a knife by the way to prevent other men from aggressing.

Gao Yishui was also a little helpless. He knew something about the situation in these indigenous barbarian tribes. To a certain extent, what he said was right.
