The guess is the same as that of Chen Yulou.

It didn't even take half an hour.

A burst of neighing, sneezing, horse hooves hitting the ground, and noisy voices came from outside the yurt.

Not waiting for a few people to get up.

The wooden door wrapped in felt cloth was pushed open from the outside, and Tour, a tall man holding a felt hat and feeling cold all over his body, strode in.

A look of excitement could not be concealed on his rough face.

"Brother Chen, we have gathered together sixteen plateau horses, all of which are first-class and good breeds. Let's go out and have a look?"

Once inside.

Tur couldn't care less about rest.

He just took the butter tea from his wife Ayigu, drank it in one gulp, wiped it with his backhand, and laughed loudly at the group of people in the room.

"good."

How could Chen Yulou be delayed?

He greeted everyone.

Follow him outside.

Because it had just snowed last night, the sky and the earth were completely white. After a brief discomfort, I looked up and saw that the open space outside the house was as noisy as a busy city.

One after another, there are big horses that are either snow white or bay red.

Being held in someone's hand.

All of them held their heads high.

Although he didn't say anything, his look said everything.

"It is indeed a plateau horse."

Just a quick glance.

Chen Yulou's last worry disappeared.

The Chen family has a horse farm. Over the years, he has sent people to seize countless horses from all over the country.

Hequ, Ganzi, Lichuan, Datong and Yanglongkeng.

Almost all of them were horse breeding lands throughout the ages.

He also has his own way of looking at horses.

Looking at horses is like looking at people. In fact, it is nothing more than three points: shape, position and energy.

The so-called shape refers to the appearance of the horse. It has a tall head, thick limbs, oil-soaked hair, flying mane and smooth body.

Position refers to the appearance of the five senses, muscles and bones.

While running, you will not lose your bearings.

As for Qi, in short, it is the momentum of the horse.

There is a record in Zhou Rituals that says, 'A horse over eight feet tall is a dragon, a horse over seven feet tall is a harem, and a horse over six feet tall is a horse.'

A strong-willed horse can tell the difference at a glance.

The fur color is like fire and the momentum is amazing.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's a ferocious beast.

This type of horse is suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

Just like the dragon colt he rides, not only because it comes from a dragon pit, but more importantly because it has the momentum of a dragon. Most people will be intimidated by its momentum even if they get close to it, let alone using it as a ride.

In order to tame it.

Chen Yulou worked hard.

The same is true for Red Girl's Qinghong.

Similar to his master's temperament, he is as fierce as fire.

People with warm temperaments have calm eyes, and their aura will naturally be weaker. If they take one look at them, they will subconsciously avoid looking at them.

The horse was sent now.

Almost without exception, they are menacing and tall, and just standing there gives people an indescribable sense of shock.

"These horses are fierce enough, I like them."

Look at those horses.

The red girl also looked full of surprise.

One of the bay-red horses, in particular, should have a bit of the bloodline of a sweaty horse. Even among such an amazing group of horses, it feels like it stands out from the crowd.

swagger.

A pair of eyes were like dragon's eyes, scanning all directions.

It was no worse than her Qinghong.

She was noticed almost immediately.

"No wonder it is said that the Western Regions have been rich in BMWs since ancient times. This time I have seen it."

Yang Fang glanced over, the more he looked, the more delighted he became.

Compared to a camel, he still likes the feeling of riding a horse and galloping across the battlefield.

It is simply unbelievable that a small village with a dozen or so households can easily produce so many pure-blooded horses.

"That black-tailed horse is pretty good. It looks tough at first glance. Kunlun, it suits you."

The old foreigner pointed to one of them.

Suddenly he said to Kunlun.

Look in the direction of his finger.

I saw that the horse was unusually tall, half a body taller than the surrounding horses, and while the other horses were pacing back and forth and neighing constantly, it just lowered its head and chewed grass quietly.

See this.

Kunlun's eyes couldn't help but light up.

To be honest, he did have some thoughts. Unlike Hong Gu, he only had one request for the horse.

As long as you can support yourself.

It doesn't matter whether it's strong or mild.

After all, even tigers and leopards can be captured and used as horses if he wants to.

Tearing a tiger and leopard alive is no joke.

Even a monster can't bear a slap.

"It's really good."

nodded.

Kunlun's rare opening.

"Brother Chen, how are you, are you satisfied with these Marco?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll go to other tribes and ask for you."

Walk back from the crowd.

Tu'er asked Chen Yulou with a smile on his face.

"No need, I'm very satisfied."

Chen Yulou shook his head.

To be honest, the quality and appearance of these horses far exceeded his expectations.

"That's good, that's good."

Tour was originally worried that the horses they got were not up to par with their requirements.

Now when I hear this.

The hanging heart finally fell back into my stomach.

"By the way, I discussed it with you guys. One horse counts as one pound of salt. Brother Chen, you gave us a total of fifty or sixty pounds of snowflake salt, which is more than half."

"Please take back the rest."

Tur continued.

There was a bit of anxiety in his expression.

Good snowflake salt.

He had never seen anything like this in his life.

When it was taken out, the clan members in the village were shocked, even the most experienced wizards, saying that only big shots in big cities such as Dihua, Yili, and Yarkand were eligible to enjoy it.

A pound of salt is definitely a sky-high price.

Just a different horse.

To be honest, in his opinion, the clan members definitely made a lot of money.

He was also worried that Chen Yulou and others would think they were too greedy.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said the words "a pound of salt for a horse", everyone who was still looking at the horses with interest suddenly turned their heads.

Looking at him with an incredulous look.

"This...a pound of salt is indeed too high, otherwise, half a pound would be fine."

Tur's heart sank.

I complained secretly in my heart.

When we were discussing the price just now, I should have been tougher. The Kizi people have been hospitable since ancient times. How could they do such a thing?

after all.

They just narrowly escaped death.

Isn't it just adding insult to injury?

After swallowing his saliva, Tur quickly made up his mind.

"no…"

"You may have misunderstood us. These are horses that can travel hundreds of miles a day. How can they be sold at such a low price?"

"Besides, there is no reason to take back the salt and gold that were given away. Please trouble Brother Tour to share them properly, otherwise, we will not feel at ease."

Looking at the eagle-like man.

Because of the matter of one pound or half a pound of salt, he actually showed such uneasiness and anxiety.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"this…"

Tuer was stunned.

Fifty or sixty pounds of snowflake salt, and so much gold, just for sixteen horses.

"If you really feel sorry for yourself."

"Is there any kumiss?"

Seeing him frozen in place with his mouth open but unable to say a word, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

After entering the Western Region.

He drank mostly kumiss along the way, and he went from being uncomfortable with it to now craving for it.

Great staying power.

After taking a sip, even if you brave the freezing cold, you won't feel the coldness at all.

"Koumiss?"

"There are, there are, there are many. The most indispensable thing for us Kizi people is wine. Brother Chen, as long as you can carry it, you can take as much as you like."

Tur's eyes lit up.

He was not afraid of Chen Yulou asking for it, but he was afraid that they wouldn't want anything.

While talking.

He seemed to remember something.

He walked quickly to those tribesmen and said a few words briefly. For a moment, everyone's faces showed excitement, they patted their chests one by one, and the anxious ones turned around and left.

It didn't take long.

The sealed kumiss piled up like a mountain.

It was several times more than what they took away from Kunmo City that day.

Chen Yulou also didn't expect that his casual words would have such a sensational effect.

It’s hard to refuse everyone’s good intentions.

One family simply took two bags. "It's not enough, brother Chen. The kumiss is not worth anything. You can just take it. It will keep you warm along the way."

"That's enough."

Signaling Kunlun and Yang Fang to carry the drinks to the horses.

Chen Yulou then submitted his resignation.

"I would also like to thank Brother Tuer for the hospitality. We are in a hurry, so we won't stay any longer."

"Looking at the weather, there will probably be another heavy snowfall before dark, so we can't delay any longer."

"Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Tur obviously didn't expect that they would leave so soon, and he suddenly became anxious.

The clan leader has already agreed.

In the evening, they slaughter a few cows and sheep, call the whole village, young and old, and light a bonfire to welcome the guests from afar.

"Chen wants it too."

"It's just that the journey is too far and we really can't delay it."

Feeling the enthusiasm of these Kizi people, Chen Yulou didn't want to stay the night. This period of time was already exhausting enough, and it was just a good time to experience the customs and customs of the foreigners.

But the trip to East Kunlun.

After all the calculations, there are only six or seven days left.

Miss Hong and the others didn't know how terrifying the Kunlun Temple was, but he knew it clearly.

After entering the mountain.

The journey was full of dangers.

If you want to save time, you can only do it on the road.

"this…"

Tour hesitated again and again.

Finally gritted his teeth.

"Then I'll go talk to the clan leader and the others."

While he was talking, he turned around and left, walked up to an old man with white hair and beard, and whispered something. Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the people around him.

Speak to Tur.

Then he returned again.

"The patriarch said that we Kizi people have our own rules for doing things."

"Since Brother Chen is determined to leave, please give us a chance. The future is dangerous. At least let me take you out of the Tianshan forbidden area."

"Forbidden area?"

Chen Yulou frowned slightly.

It was only after Tour's explanation that he realized that the Kizi people regarded Kunlun Mountain as a sacred mountain and could not easily enter or leave the mountain except when worshiping the gods.

There are several forbidden areas among them.

According to Bakshi's guidance, the demons are suppressed there.

Once you break in rashly, you will most likely end up dead.

They have grown up listening to these stories since they were young and have never entered them. This time they are also worried that they have come from afar and do not understand the original story and wander into it by mistake.

"That's fine."

See him persist.

Chen Yulou couldn't refuse, so he simply agreed.

He is actually somewhat curious about those so-called forbidden places for monsters.

perhaps…

It coincides with their trip.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Tu'er's face was full of surprise. Without hesitation, he turned around and said hello a few times.

Soon, three or four figures emerged from the crowd.

The figure is strong and powerful, and the momentum is astonishing.

The murderous aura inadvertently revealed between the brows can reveal their identity as hunters at a glance.

other side.

Ayigu also seemed to know that her husband was going out.

The baggage has been prepared.

As for the little guy Salie, he was holding a hunting bow and quiver in both hands, with a stern face, looking quite manly.

"Be good, Salie is at home, take good care of your mother."

Half-kneeling on the ground, he touched his son's head, took the bow and arrow, then walked towards his wife, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hung the bundle on his body.

It was obvious that he was not good at words.

He also can’t say many loving words to his wife.

But the gentle movements and the fierceness in his eyes said everything.

"Go early and come back early."

Ayigu had thousands of words in his heart, but in the end he only condensed into one sentence.

"good."

Tur nodded.

He gently touched his son's head again.

Then he turned around resolutely.

He took the horse brought by the tribesmen, turned over and jumped up, with sharp movements in one go.

While he was sitting on the horse, the three people accompanying him also loaded their bows and arrows and rode over.

"Mount."

"Get ready to go."

Seeing several people reining in their horses and walking to the front, obviously preparing to lead the way, Chen Yulou waved his hand.

In an instant.

The group quickly jumped on their favorite horses.

In the reluctant eyes of everyone in Kezi, as well as Ayigu, Salie's mother and son.

There were more than ten people in the group.

A team of almost twenty horses.

Walking on the snow-covered mountain road, mud and dust splashed away amidst the thumping of horse hooves.

There were heavy dark clouds overhead.

It has the potential to destroy the city.

"It's difficult to travel on snowy roads, so be careful not to fall off your horse..."

After riding the horse for several miles, Tur suddenly came to his senses. The Kirgiz people have lived on horseback since childhood.

Like his son Salleh.

Only six or seven years old.

He is already an expert at herding horses.

But these Han people were doing business.

I don’t know if I can withstand such bumps.

He motioned to the two brothers to lead the way, and he reined in his horse and waited for a moment. It wasn't until a few people behind him caught up that he shouted a reminder.

only…

He hasn't finished a sentence yet.

Then he saw Chen Yulou, a red girl in a cloak, leaping past him on horseback. Her ability to control the horse was as good as his.

She is the youngest girl in the team.

There was no panic at all.

As for Chen Yulou and others, you can tell from the sitting posture that they are not riding horses all year round, and they will never be able to walk on flat ground.

"What did Brother Tull say?"

The cold wind howled in the canyon, completely covering up the sound.

Chen Yulou reined in his horse, and the horse beneath him raised its front hooves high.

The robe on his body made a rustling sound.

The tips of the hair are flying.

His body shape was like a spear, without any sway.

"No...nothing."

Turdu was stunned by this scene.

Where to worry about anything else.

He shook his head repeatedly.

Then he added another sentence.

"Oh, yes, I want to say that after passing this rift valley and walking sixty or seventy miles further, you can reach the forbidden land."

"good."

Chen Yulou nodded.

This distance is not that far.

Even if the glacier and snow road is difficult to travel, you can definitely get there before dark.

Next trip.

Quite different from what Tour said.

Snow mountains, windy valleys, dangerous cliffs, and passes.

The snow blown by the strong wind hit people like sand and gravel, which meant that their group had to be extremely angry and **** to barely pass.

But even so.

When passing the Kunlun Mountain pass.

It was still painful to be hit by hail and snow particles.

The sky in the mountains always comes earlier than outside. It's only after noon, around three or four o'clock, and the sky is already gray.

The large lead cloud was so close overhead that it seemed like you could reach out and touch it.

Feather-like snow.

It has fallen with a clatter.

They had only experienced rain before, but now, as a group of people rode on horseback and walked at the foot of the mountain, they felt as if a white curtain had enveloped the world.

Vision is completely obscured.

Can't see anything clearly.

Until after crossing a sharp cliff.

Tur and others who were leading the group suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

The old foreigner who followed him couldn't help but ask.

It is not a good thing to stop under such a cliff. If the sound of horse hooves causes an avalanche, they will most likely be buried in it.

But faced with his questions.

Tuer, however, had a solemn look on his face.

He just stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance.

"Look...there is the City of Demons!"

Hear this.

Chen Yulou and others who followed him didn't dare to think too much. They immediately followed the direction of his finger, raised their heads and looked over intently.

All I could see was the depths of the diffuse snow and fog.

An ancient city with only ruins left... suddenly appeared under the glacier cliff. (End of chapter)
