The ugly man might have practiced the Diamond Sutra, which surprised Qi Ning very much. However, he had long guessed that the origin of the ugly man was extraordinary, so he knew that the ugly man was carrying a great skill and instantly felt relieved.

Could it be that the ugly man is actually a Buddhist disciple?

But how could Buddhist disciples have that precious black cloak?

The ugly man itself is a huge mystery, but it is difficult to solve for a while.

"This man should be a top master, but he is unconscious and cannot remember his martial arts." Ximen Wuhen said slowly, "The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although he has problems with his mentality, his martial arts foundation is excellent and his talent is extraordinary. He can see through other people's martial arts moves in an instant and even learn and use them immediately. Looking at the world, there are only a few people who can have such ability."

Qi Ning carefully asked, "Can the Divine Hou know who he is?"

Ximen Wuhen glanced at him and snorted coldly, but then he was silent for a moment before saying, "I can't think of who he is for a moment." After saying this, he stopped saying another sentence.

That night, the ugly man did not scream anymore. Qi Ning guessed that the ugly man's previous howling might be a demonstration to Ximen Wuhen.

The next morning, Hongmendao put away his tent, and the three of them continued to move forward with one horse.

After walking like this for three days, the ugly man did not appear, but the air became thinner and thinner, and it was difficult to breathe, and the terrain became higher and higher. Finally, I heard Hongmendao say to Ximen Wuhen, "Shenhou, we have entered the boundaries of the kingdom. We will walk like this. It will take at least half a month to reach the Daxue Mountains. We need to find a few horses."

In fact, the places I have been traveling these days can be said to be deserted and I can't see people at all, let alone horses.

In a barbaric land, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it is difficult to exchange for a horse at this time.

The horse that camel transported objects had slowed down. Even this horse was not as good as a good horse. It had been exhausted for more than ten days and day and night. Fortunately, it was a northwest horse with sufficient endurance and persisted until now. But now it has entered the plateau area. Even Qi Ning feels a little uncomfortable, let alone this horse, which obviously feels discomfort.

Hongmendao knew that even if people could persevere, at the current speed of travel, the horse would fall down if it could not last for two days.

In addition, food and water have begun to be short of food and water. Although supplies have been replenished before, they are consumed every day, and the remaining food and water can only last for two or three days at most. If you cannot find a place to replenish supplies within these two or three days, things will become more and more troublesome.

"You will see people after walking for another two days." Ximen Wuhen looked up and looked into the distance. The sky was high and the earth was far away. There were towering peaks in the distance. He raised his hand and knew that "After passing that mountain, there will be people living there."

Although there was no human being, a pack of wolves attacked at night that night. Although the pack of wolves was easily dealt with, the pack was the first to attack the exhausted horse from the beginning. The pack was destroyed and the horse was already lying in a pool of blood.

In this way, even camels did not have the strength to do the foot, so they could only discard all other objects, leaving only water and dry food.

The mountain seemed very close, but it was really a journey to walk over. After walking for a whole day, I arrived at the foot of the mountain and rested for a night. I climbed the mountain early the next morning. This mountain is not actually a

It is high, but very steep. At dusk, I have passed this mountain and looked over from afar and saw an endless wilderness. There are many cattle and sheep in the wilderness, and there are more than a dozen tents scattered.

Dao Hongmen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be no problem to buy a few horses from here."

After the three of them went down the mountain, they went straight to the tent and passed by a group of sheep. They saw two shepherds wearing thick robes. The style of the robes was completely different from that of the Central Plains. The two shepherds had dark skin, rough skin, and many braids were standing on their hair. When they saw Qi Ning and the other two passing by, they all looked at the three with strange eyes.

"This is the border area of ​​the kingdom." Ximen Wuhen finally said, "This is the Naqu Sect. The kingdom has a sect. Their sect is like our county, but each sect is much larger than our county. As far as I know, there are 98 sects in this kingdom, and the territory is also very vast. However, the population is sparse and it is not as lively as the Central Plains."

Qi Ning thought to himself that Ximen Wuhen knew the kingdom so well, and it seemed that this old guy might have been here before.

The three of them walked towards a larger tent, and suddenly heard a whistle sound. In the wilderness, the whistle was very loud. Qi Ning looked at the sound and saw another person whistling not far away, but his eyes were very alert.

The whistle sounded, and soon I saw people coming out of several nearby tents.

Qi Ning and Hongmendao looked at each other and saw that the group of people were gathering together quickly. Soon a few people walked over here. Qi Ning saw that the group of people were very old, and the youngest looked over fifties, but there was no young man around.

He was surprised, but he saw an elder walking towards him, with his arms crossed over his chest, bowing slightly toward him, and then said a few words to him, but he was speaking language, but Qi Ning couldn't understand what he was saying, and saw Hongmendao looking confused, obviously Hongmendao couldn't understand either.

There is very little exchange between the kingdom and the Central Plains. Although there is trade between the two sides, the merchants and kingdoms in the northwest region mainly trade with them. The Great Chu is located in the south and has almost no contact with the kingdom. Therefore, there are very few people who are proficient in the Chu State, and not many people who are familiar with the Central Plains language in the kingdom.

Qi Ning was thinking about whether the two sides would use gestures to communicate, but saw Ximen Wuhen coming forward and communicating with the elder in words.

Ximen Wuhen’s words were not fluent, but from the old man’s expression, it can be seen that there was no big obstacle to communication between the two sides in language.

Qi Ning was shocked. Although he had guessed that Ximen Wuhen must have been to the kingdom before, he did not expect that he could really communicate with people in terms of words. This was not just about coming to the country, but about having a profound study of the country.

He didn't believe what Ximen Wuhen said was to come to Daxue Mountain to apologize to the Dharma King Zhuri. At this time, he was even more certain that Ximen Wuhen would have a great purpose to bring him to the country this time.

Ximen Wuhen chatted with the old man for a short time, then he saw Ximen Wuhen turning around and asking, "Old Wu, do you have any money on him?"

Hong Mendao immediately took the silver bag and handed it over, but Ximen Wuhen was very generous and handed the silver bag to the old man. The old man immediately waved his hand and shook his head. Both sides said a few more words. Ximen Wuhen finally took a few pieces of silver from it and sent it to the old man, and gave it to the remaining ones.

He threw it back to Hongmendao.

Qi Ning could see that Ximen Wuhen should have made a deal with the old man, but the old man was very kind and did not accept all the money because of Ximen Wuhen's generousness. He just took it away and what he deserved.

"They can provide us with three horses and then give us some food and water." Ximen Wuhen said then, "It's too late, so we don't have to rush to rush. Let's rest here for a night. He will prepare a certain tent for us to rest. We can set off tomorrow morning."

Qi Ning and Hongmendao both replied to the old man in the way he saluted him.

The tent provided by the old man is very spacious. Not to mention three people, it is easy to accommodate seven or eight people. Not only that, they also specially sent dinner. Although it is not very rich, the food has different characteristics than that of the Central Plains.

After drinking and eating, he saw a sound from outside the tent. The three of them left the tent and saw the old man waiting outside. When they saw the three of them coming out, the old man said a few words to Ximen Wuhen, then pointed not far away, but saw that three horses had been prepared there. These were plateau horses, which were different from the northwest horses.

The first time Qi Ning saw a plateau horse, he couldn't help but walk over and admired it around a horse. The one who brought three horses was also an elder in his sixties. When he saw Qi Ning looking at the horse with great interest, he actually said in a rather awkward Central Plains saying, "This is the best horse here, it's very fast and can climb mountains!"

Qi Ning said in surprise, "You know how to speak Central Plains?"

"When I was young, I went there." The man said, "I learned a little, but I'm not very familiar with it."

When Qi Ning heard him speak Zhongyuan's words, he felt a sense of intimacy. At this time, he saw Ximen Wuhen and the elder walking not far away and talking. Then he asked the man, "Did you go to Zhongyuan in business?"

The man nodded and said, "When I was young, I followed the caravan and went to the big city. It was called right, Xianyang, and I have been to Xianyang. It was very big, and many people!" While speaking, he opened his arms and made big moves.

"Not bad, Xianyang." Qi Ning laughed and said, "Xianyang is very big, you can go and take a look."

The man shook his head and said, "I'm old, I can't go, there is no team to go!" He showed a very regretful expression.

Qi Ning asked, "What do you call the old man?"

"Senba!" the man said, "My name is Senba, and the little Senba has become Old Senba, hahaha!"

Qi Ning was in a very depressed mood these days. At this time, he heard the cheerful old man talking and felt much better. He smiled and said, "Senba's good name, by the way, why can't you see young people here? Why are they all old?"

Senba was originally smiling, but when he heard Qi Ning ask, his expression suddenly faded, and even a hint of anger appeared between his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

"Don't you ask this?" Qi Ning thought that he had offended the other party and hurriedly said, "If I say the wrong thing, don't be disgusted or angry. I won't ask again."
