From eunuch to emperor

After killing Huang Jinshou, Long Chen took Gan Xin and Mo Lin to head north at full speed.

The sky is full of stars, and a waning moon hangs slantingly on the horizon. The night wind blows across the grassland, and the sound of horseshoes sounds hollow as the horses step across the grassland.

When the sun rose, the three arrived near Baigu Mountain.

Finding a mountain col, the three of them got off their horses to drink water, and the horses also needed water.

After drinking the water, the war horse lowered its head to eat grass, Long Chen took out the binoculars and looked at the skull-shaped mountain in the distance.

"It's over there."

Gan Xin pointed to the rolling hills in the distance and said.

After Long Chen looked at the hills, he looked at the surrounding grasslands.

The surrounding area of ​​the mountain is very open. As long as you have good eyesight, you can see miles away at a glance.

"Where did you go when you felt the threat of death?"

Long Chen put away the binoculars, Gan Xin said: "One mile in front of the mountain, I can feel someone watching."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "Outside is the grassland, there is no way to hide, unless you hide underground."

"If there are secret sentries watching, it should be in the mountains."

After looking at it for a while, Long Chen felt a headache, the col and Baigu Mountain were several miles away, if he went directly there, he would definitely be found.

How can I get close to Baigu Mountain without being discovered?

"How did it go?"

Long Chen sat down to rest with his legs crossed, Mo Lin shook his head and said, "We've been thinking about this, but we can't think of a good way, the surroundings are too empty, we can't hide."

The terrain is flat for several miles around, without even a tree, even if a person climbs over it, he will be found.

Now that Long Chen can draw with the ghost fetus, he can just break in directly, as he is afraid that there will be experts ambush inside.

Even if those people are not as good as freaks, as long as there are a lot of people and relying on the location, Long Chen may be killed.

Therefore, we must find a way to approach quietly.

Gan Xin and Mo Lin had a long discussion at Yanmen Pass, but they couldn't think of any good solution.

Gan Xin said, "How about we wait until it gets dark?"

Mo Lin was speechless, and said, "Can't they see when it's dark? We can all see."

If the mountain is a lair of ghost fetuses, those people must also be half-ghosts, or even ghosts.

Their night vision must also be very strong, there is no difference between day and night.

Long Chen leaned against a stone, thinking about how to get close without being discovered.

The sun gradually rose, making Long Chen feel hot and uncomfortable, and Gan Xin and Mo Lin were also sweating profusely from the sun.

"It's too hot, I kind of miss the coldness of Shengxue Peak."

Gan Xin was suffering from the sun, so he put on his drapery hat to shade him.

Mo Lin said, "You still want to see that old witch, Yin Ling?"

Gan Xin said: "Who wants to see her, I'm just uncomfortably hot."

Long Chen was also uncomfortable with the heat, but he couldn't think of a way to make it even more uncomfortable.

meh...

More than 100 sheep walked slowly in the direction of Baigu Mountain, grazing with their heads down while walking.

"My lord, why don't we hide among the sheep?"

Gan Xin had a whim, and Mo Lin agreed, "You can try."

Long Chen thought for a while, and said: "We still have to put on sheepskins, lie on the ground, and crawl for several miles."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin were silent...

After crawling for miles, my hands are worn out. This idea is not reliable.

The sheep continued to walk towards Baigu Mountain, Long Chen continued to think of ways.

The sun is gradually setting to the west, Gan Xin sees the flock of sheep at the foot of Mount Baigu, and suddenly feels a little pity, if he pretends to be a flock of sheep, he may have already reached Mount Baigu.

At this time, two herdsmen came not far away on horseback.

The two looked at the flock of sheep at the foot of Baigu Mountain and hesitated.

"The sheep have passed, what should I do?"

A young herdsman watched helplessly as his flock grazing at the foot of Baigu Mountain.

The aquatic plants at the foot of the mountain are more abundant, and the sheep don't look back.

The older herdsmen got off their horses and bowed and knelt down at Baigu Mountain in horror.

"Go back, these sheep are sacrificed to the gods."

The old herdsman sighed helplessly, and he planned to give up these flocks.

In the grassland, everyone knows what Baigu Mountain means. It is a place of death, and anyone who approaches it will die.

You can't take your own life for more than 100 sheep, it's not worth it.

The young herdsman said sadly: "There are so many sheep, there will be no more."

The old herdsman got up, the wrinkles on his face piled up, he shook his head and sighed: "It's not that there are no more, we dedicated them to the gods."

Long Chen heard the words of the two, immediately got up and walked over.

"Do you want to get the sheep back?"

Long Chen greeted with a smile, and the herdsmen didn't show any hostility when they saw Long Chen approaching.

In recent years, the Central Plains people and the barbarians have a good relationship. They usually meet for business and rarely attack each other.

If a murder happened, both the barbarians and Da Zhou would investigate.

"Are you a businessman?"

The old herdsman looked at Long Chen's attire and asked.

Long Chen laughed and said: "We are here to collect medicinal materials, I want to ask if you have any medicinal materials, if so, I will help you drive those sheep back."

The old herdsman kept waving his hands and said, "No, it's too dangerous there, it's the place of the god of death."

"It was the arrangement of the gods that the flock of sheep walked over, and they were our sacrifices to the gods."

The old herdsman was very honest and said that Baigu Mountain was very dangerous.

Gan Xin and Mo Lin came over, they guessed what Long Chen was thinking.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we are from Dazhou, your death gods can't kill us."

"Just like the gods of our Great Zhou cannot control your lives, it will be fine if we go."

"Your Chanyu can't control us Central Plains people, and our Central Plains emperor can't control you barbarians, the same."

Herdsmen are simple and do not have so many ideas.

If you think about it carefully, it seems like this, the gods of the barbarians govern the barbarians, and the gods of the Central Plains govern the Central Plains.

The young herdsman said happily: "If you can drive the sheep back, we will give you medicinal materials."

Long Chen forgot to glance at the Baigu Mountain in the distance, and said, "Let's change our clothes."

The herdsman asked strangely: "Why do you need to change clothes?"

Long Chen said: "Your gods prefer grassland clothes, I do this to please the gods."

The herdsman was right after thinking about it, and immediately took off his coat without saying anything.

"My lord, there are only two sets of clothes..."

Looking at the clothes, Gan Xin felt a little embarrassed, two sets of clothes were not enough for three people.

Long Chen thought for a while and said, "You follow me, Mo Lin is waiting here."

Mo Lin looked at Gan Xin and said, "Isn't it good?"

This trip is very dangerous. Of course it would be better not to go, but it would be unfair to Gan Xin.

Long Chen looked at Gan Xin, Gan Xin chuckled and said, "It's nothing wrong, you can just come up next time if you have something to do."

Anyway, Long Chen went up in person, Gan Xin had nothing to say.

Mo Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here."

Long Chen and Gan Xin changed into herdsmen's clothes, and Mo Lin took the herdsmen to the col to sit down and wait.

After changing their clothes, Long Chen and Gan Xin rode the herdsmen's horses, with their hair styled in grassland style, and walked slowly towards Baigu Mountain.
