Chapter 258 Qilian Mountains
Yan Yu finally invited an older aunt to use the two pairs of unwrapped shoes she brought, and resewn a pair of larger uppers. Although the soles were too late to make, they were still small, but it would be no problem to just walk for a day.
The four of them stayed for a day and then set off again.
Hearing the wine, the priest pulled Yun Daosheng, he couldn't help but burst into tears, "I'm old and have a short burst of tears. I should have sent you happily... I don't know if I can see you again in this life."
Yun Daosheng smiled and said, "You are waiting for me in Dawei, and I will definitely go back and cook tea for you."
Wen Jijiu nodded heavily in tears, "Okay. You will definitely come back. You will definitely come back safely."
Yao Yu was a little sad by them, "Every time I saw others bid farewell to Yun Daosheng, Fan Baron, Gai Wu, and Wen Sheng Jiu, why didn't anyone send me off?"
Mo Yao smiled sweetly, "Because the people the girls like always follow the girls, so naturally there is no need to say goodbye."
When Yao Yu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's not bad. I've been following your girl for so long, and you've finally gotten your brain!"
Mo Yao said happily, "I thank the girl for her praise!"
The group of four people rushed for a day before they advanced to Guangwu City before dark.
The soldiers guarding the gate didn't care much when they saw their Taoist suits. After all, Guangwu City was closest to Yishe, and these soldiers had dealt with Wen Jijiu and others.
Although the Lord of Northern Liang did not allow Taoist priests to enter the city, it is understandable that he could exchange some supplies with passers-by at the gate.
Besides, most of the people in Guangwu City knew that Yishe had taken in many refugees and sympathized with them.
It’s a pity that those who sympathize with them are all poor people. These people are still unable to maintain their own food and clothing. There are no more refugees who donated surplus grain to Yishe.
The rich households who are truly rich and have food and money are more willing to worship their money to Mati Temple in order to achieve wealth and peace in this life and the next life.
Yao Yu and the others were about to enter the city, but they were immediately stopped. The guard said with a stern face, "You can change something at the city gate, but I can turn a blind eye to you, but entering the city is absolutely not possible."
Yun Daosheng took out the letter of recommendation from the abbot of Bingling Temple.
When the guard saw it, his face turned a little strange, "I don't recognize words, why are you doing this bamboo slip for me?"
Yun Daosheng slowly unfolded the bamboo slips with a warm smile, pointed to the seal of Bingling Temple and asked, "Can you recognize this seal? We were recommended by the abbot of Bingling Temple in Xiqin and wanted to go to Mati Temple to pay homage to Mati Temple's abbot of Mati Temple."
"The monk is referring to the Taoist priest?" The guard obviously didn't believe it, "I read very few books, don't lie to me."
He turned to a soldier and said, "Go and call Wenshulang in the future."
The Wenshulang Jiang was quickly brought here, read the letter and nodded to confirm, "It is indeed the letter of recommendation from the abbot of Bingling Temple, as this little Taoist said."
The guard looked at the four people in a strange way, "What are you doing when you go into the city?"
Yun Daosheng explained, "We go to Mati Temple to pay a visit, so we can't stand empty-handed, so we plan to enter the city to replace some incense and candles and take them to Mati Temple."
The guard thought about it after hearing this, and finally raised his hand and let them go.
Seeing this, Yao Yu was a little unbelievable. The two countries had only had a ceasefire for a few days, and the guards actually let them enter the city because of a letter of recommendation from the Western Qin Buddhist Temple.
Are you not afraid that they are spies from Xi Qin?
Could it be that the authority of this Buddhist temple can ignore national boundaries?
The group changed some food. In addition to shoes for rain, they also bought thicker clothes. The temperature in the morning and evening of Beiliang changed a lot.
It was clearly summer, but I could still feel the cold wind at night. For those who fear the cold like Yu, even the fur cloak was surrounded directly.
From Guangwu City, the four of them walked west along the Qilian Mountains.
At first, a few people caught a hare and antelope quite freshly. Later, they became more and more silent.
On the third day, Mo Yao couldn't bear it anymore.
She asked intermittently, "Girl... do you feel...gasping more and more... laborious?"
Yun Daosheng was also a little panting at this time, "I heard that places with high terrain will be like this... In the past, King Beiliang wanted to cross the Qilian Mountains to attack Tuyuhun... As a result, many people died inexplicably as soon as he went up the mountain. He had a headache before his death... It is said that he was cursed by the mountain god..."
Apart from feeling cold, Yao Yu really didn't feel difficult to breathe. She looked at Mo Yao and Yun Daosheng in confusion, and then looked at Zi Mo with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zimo shook his head slightly and didn't say anything, but his face was not very good-looking.
Yan Yu said, "Why don't you take a break first. There's no hurry anyway. I'll go and cook a rabbit for you and eat it."
Mo Yao looked at Yao Yu in surprise and acted as usual, "Girl, you... didn't react at all?"
Yan Yu scratched his nose, "I really don't feel anything except cold."
At this time, Zimo took a deep breath before speaking, "I guess it's because Yu'er's pulse is slow and her breathing is slow."
"Don't worry about the reason," said Yi Yu. "You are here to wait for a break, and I'll go."
After Yao Yu said that, he found an easy-to-leave hillside to go to the forest on the mountain.
The rocks here are shattered and will roll down with a "rake" if you step on them. If Yan Yu hadn't had the lightness skills, you would have to climb one step and take two steps.
The forest on the mountain is very dense, and as soon as you enter, you feel that the sun is blocked.
Without the sunshine, Yao Yu felt even colder and quickly tightened the cloak on his body again.
"Bunny... pheasant... all come to my pot... add some salt... sprinkle some wine... we are real friends."
Yao Yu crawled up while muttering. After a while, he saw a stream gurgling down. Yao Yu ran over with expectation, but found that there was no fish in the stream.
She looked at the place where the stream flowed, and did not form a deep depression. She guessed that this was probably what Yun Daosheng said before, and that the streams produced by water accumulation on the mountain did not always exist.
But it hasn't rained these days, so where is the water accumulated on the mountain?
No matter where he came from! Anyway, he walked along the stream and would always meet animals that came to drink water. If he met, he would have meat to eat tonight.
I don’t know if the animals on Qilian Mountain have discussed it. After walking for a long time, I didn’t even see a hair.
Seeing that the end of the forest was ahead, Yao Yu was unwilling to give up, so he simply continued to move up.
As soon as she walked out of the forest, the sunlight suddenly shone a little dazzling. Yao Yu hurriedly blocked it with his hands, adapted for a while, before raising his eyes and looking into the distance.
At the end of such a dense forest, there was a sudden clear hilly land, and a mountain could be vaguely seen among the clouds in the distance.
And the peak was still covered with white snow in midsummer...
