Vol 4 Chapter 1211: Ancient elephant

It is possible that the ugly man could practice the Vajra dharma, which surprised Qi Ning, but he had long guessed the origin of the ugly man, so he knew that the ugly man had extraordinary powers and was instantly relieved.
Is the ugly man actually a Buddhist disciple?
But how could a Buddhist disciple have that precious black big cloak?
The ugly man itself is a huge mystery, but it is difficult to solve at one and a half moments.
"This man was supposed to be a great master, but he was unconscious and could not remember his martial arts." Ximen Wuhen slowly said: "The thin and dead camel is bigger than a horse, although his mental problems, but his martial arts foundation It ’s got a lot of talent, and the martial arts skills of others. He can instantly see through and even learn what he ’s doing now. Looking at the rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of people who can be so patient. "
Qi Ning cautiously tried to ask: "Will the waiter know who he is?"
Simon Wujian glanced at him, snorted, but then silenced for a moment before saying: "The old man can't think of where he is really sacred." After that, he didn't say anything more.
This night the ugly man no longer uttered a voice, and Qi Ning speculated that the ugly man's previous howling might have been a demonstrative demonstration to Simon.
Early the next morning, Hongmen Road put away the tent, and the three went on their horses.
After three days of walking like this, the ugly man never showed up, but the air became thinner and thinner, it was difficult to breathe, and the terrain became higher and higher. Finally I heard Hongmen Road to Ximen Road: "God By the time we have entered the boundary of the ancient elephant kingdom, we will walk on foot like this. At Daxueshan, we will have to walk for at least half a month. We need to find a few horses. "
In fact, the land I have traveled these past few days can be said to be deserted. I can't see people at all, let alone horses.
In the wild land, there is Jinshan and Yinshan, and it is difficult to change to a horse at this time.
The horse that came to transport things has also slowed down. Even if this horse is not a good horse, it has been exhausted for more than ten days. It is already a tired horse. Fortunately, it is the Northwest Horse. It has enough endurance and persists. Now, but now that he has entered the plateau area, even Qi Ning feels a little uncomfortable, not to mention this horse, obviously feeling uncomfortable.
Hong Mendao knew that even if people could persevere, at the current speed, the horse would not fall for two days.
In addition, food and water have begun to be stretched. Although they have been supplemented before, they are consumed every day, and the remaining food and water will last for up to two or three days. When you find a place to supplement your supplies, it becomes even more troublesome.
"You can see people in another two days." Simon looked up far away without a trace, and the sky was high, and there were towering peaks in the far horizon. He raised his hand and knew: "After that mountain, there will be people living. "
Although no figure was seen, there were wolves attacking at night that night. Although the wolves were easily resolved, the wolves first attacked the already exhausted horse and the wolves were destroyed. The horse was already lying in the pool of blood.
In this way, even the camel's foot strength is not enough, and only other objects can be discarded, leaving only water and dry food.
The mountain seemed to be very close, but it was really some way to go over it. It took a whole day before I reached the foot of the mountain. After a night of rest, I turned the mountain early the next morning. Steeply, at dusk, after all, I crossed the mountain and looked at it, and I saw an endless wilderness. There were a lot of cattle and sheep on the wilderness. There were more than a dozen scattered tents.
Hongmen Road breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There should be no problem buying a few horses from here."
After the three men went down the mountain, they walked towards the tent and passed a group of sheep. They saw two shepherds wearing thick robes. The robes had a completely different style from the Central Plains. The two shepherds had dark skin and skin. Rough, with a lot of braids standing upright in the hair bun, when seeing the three people passing by Qi Ning, they all looked at the three people with a few strange eyes.
"This is the border area of ​​the ancient elephant kingdom." Ximen Wuhen finally said: "This is the Naqu sect, the ancient elephant kingdom set the sect, their sect is like our county, but each case is bigger than our county. There are a lot of them, and as far as the old husband knows, there are a total of 98 ancient elephant kingdoms, and the territory is very vast, but the population is sparse and far from the liveliness of the Central Plains. "
Qi Ning thought that Ximen Wuhen had such an understanding of the ancient elephant kingdom. It seems that this old guy might have been here.
The three of them walked towards a larger tent, and the whistle heard suddenly sounded. Above the wilderness, the whistle was very loud. Qi Ning looked around and saw that an ancient elephant was blowing not far away. Whistle, but a pair of eyes looked at this very alertly.
A whistle sounded, and soon I saw several tents nearby.
Qi Ning and Hong Mendao glanced at each other, and saw that the group of people were quickly gathered together, and soon a few people came over to this. Qi Ning saw that the group of people were very old, and the youngest looked He was also in his fifties, and he didn't see a young man for four times.
He was strange under his heart, but he saw an elder elephant walking on his face, with his arms crossed on his chest, and bowed slightly to the side, then he said something to him, but he was talking about the language of ancient elephants. Ning couldn't understand what he was talking about, and he saw Hong Mendao's blank face. Obviously Hong Mendao also couldn't understand.
There is very little contact between the ancient elephant kingdom and the Central Plains region. Although there is trade between the two sides, mainly the traders in the northwest region have trade with the ancient elephant kingdom. Dachu is located in the south, but it has little contact with the ancient elephant kingdom, so There are very few people who are proficient in the language of ancient elephants in Chu, and not many people in the kingdom of ancient elephants are familiar with the language of the Central Plains.
Qi Ning was thinking about whether the two sides would use gestures to communicate, but when Ximen Wuqian stepped forward, he actually communicated with the elder of the ancient elephant in ancient elephant language.
Ximen Wuxiang's ancient elephant language is not fluent, but from the old man's expression, it can be seen that there is not much obstacle for the two parties to communicate in language.
Qi Ning was appalled. Although he had guessed that Ximen Wuhen had been to the ancient elephant kingdom before, he didn't expect that he could actually communicate with people in ancient elephant language. This is not just the ancient elephant kingdom. It is an extremely deep study of the ancient elephant country.
He didn't believe that Ximen Wujian said he came to Daxueshan to ask for sins from the Sun King. At this time, he was more certain that Ximen Wujian would bring himself to the ancient elephant country this time, which would have a great purpose.
Simon Wujian chatted with the old man for a moment, then he saw Simon Wujian turned around and asked, "Lao Wu, did you have any silver on your body?"
Hong Mendao immediately took the silver bag and handed it over, but Ximen Wuzhen was very generous. He handed the silver bag to the old man. The old man immediately waved his hand and shook his head. The two sides said a few words. Ximen Wujian finally took a few from the inside. A piece of silver was sent to the old man, and the rest was returned to Hongmen Road.
Qi Ning could see that Ximen Wuzhen should have dealt with the old man, but the old man was very kind. He did not accept all the money because of Ximen Wuzhen's generosity, but took away what he deserved.
"They can provide us with three horses, and then give us some food and water." Ximen Wujian then said: "It's too late, we don't have to hurry to rush off, rest here for one night, he will prepare for us The tent allows us to rest, and we can start our journey tomorrow morning. "
Both Qi Ning and Hong Mendao returned a salute to the old man in the same manner as the old man saluted.
The tents provided by the old elephants are very spacious, not to mention three people. Even if they accommodate seven or eight people, it is a breeze. Not only that, they also specially brought dinner. Although they are not rich, but the food has characteristics different from the Central Plains.
After drinking enough food, they saw a voice coming from outside the account. All three came out of the tent. When they saw the ancient elephant old man waiting outside, when they saw the three people come out, the ancient elephant old man said a few words to Ximen Wuhen, and then pointed Not far away, I saw that there were three horses prepared there. This is a plateau horse, and it is different from the northwest horse.
The first time Qi Ning saw a plateau horse, he could n’t help but walk around and admire a horse. The three horses were also an elder who was nearly sixty years old. Seeing Qi Ning looked at the horse with interest , Actually used the somewhat jerky Central Plains saying: "This is ... the best horse here, it is fast and able to ... climb the mountain!"
Qi Ning said in surprise: "Will you speak the Chinese language?"
"When I was young, I've been to your side." The man said: "I learned a little, but I'm not very familiar."
Qi Ning listened to him saying the Central Plains and gave him a sense of intimacy. At this time, he saw that Ximen Wuhen and the elder of the ancient elephant were not far away and were talking. Then he asked the man, "You are in business." Central Plains? "
The man nodded and said, "I went to the caravan when I was young, and I've been to Ayutthaya. It's called ... Yes, Xianyang. I've been to Xianyang. It's very big, a lot of people!"
"It's not bad, Xianyang." Qi Ning said with a laugh: "Xianyang is very big, you can take a look again."
The man shook his head and said: "Old, can't go, no team went ...!" A very regretful expression appeared.
Qi Ning asked: "What do the elderly call?"
"Samba!" The man said: "My name is Samba ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Komori turned into an old Samba, hahaha ...!"
Qi Ning was extremely depressed these days. At this time, I heard the cheerful old man talking and felt a lot better. He smiled and said, "Samba has a good name. By the way, why can't you see the young people here? Why are they all old? ? "
Samba had a smile on his face, and when he heard Qi Ning's question, his expression suddenly dimmed, and even a trace of anger appeared in the eyebrows, but he didn't speak.
"Shouldn't this be the case?" Qi Ning thought that he offended the other party and hurriedly said: "If I said something wrong, don't be surprised, don't be angry, I won't ask again."
"Palace!" Samba lowered his voice and pointed in the direction of the southwest: "There is a palace over there, young people go to repair the palace, it requires a lot of people, and a lot of cows and horses, many cows and horses are gone, and ... ..... "Close to Qi Ning's ear, whispered:" Women, young women, have to go to the palace, all gone! "
