Chapter 69 Ancient Ruins in the Mountains

Su Xiandao: "The Lord of the Corpse Forest on Calvary Mountain is a famous god in the Tubo country. The Tubo people practice sky burial and call the place of sky burial the Bafang Hanlin, which is actually a cemetery."

"The spirit in charge of the cold forests in all directions is the Lord of the Corpse Forest, which means the Lord of the Tombs."

Luo Ning suddenly remembered that there was a corpse forest in the esoteric sect, which should be the same thing.

Su Xian continued to explain: "But in fact, the Lord of the Corpse Forest is an ancient god who has disappeared long ago. The so-called Lord of the Corpse Forest today is not real, he is just a demon king who inherited the true meaning of the ancient god of the Corpse Forest."

"There is a bone city in Calvary Mountain, which is the dojo of the Lord of the Corpse Grove. Many monks of the Esoteric Cult practice grave yoga in the cemetery, and they are disciples of the Lord of the Corpse Grove."

"Qian Chaofeng said those women were sacrifices. In fact, they were so-called charity of flesh and blood. In the end, they would become skeletons. It was not as simple as a sacrifice."

"Oh, Calvary Mountain is not too far away. It is in the Kuangxiao Hanlin in the northeast of Tubo. It is considered to be the border area of ​​Tubo."

Li Dingguo's eyes turned cold, "The Xue family captured hundreds of Daxia women and gave them to the master of the Corpse Forest to be killed. It's really heinous!"

Qian Sibao said: "The Master of the Corpse Forest needs a large amount of blood and flesh for alms every year, and countless Tubo people have been killed. However, the Master of the Corpse Forest does not only eat women."

"So, these women should also be sent to Yanshi Temple to select the concubine."

The mountains here are so steep that if they hadn't been monks, they wouldn't have been able to get up there.

After the two of them saw the gift, Qian Sibaan asked directly: "Is Mr. Naqin here? I have a gift for him, and of course I have a gift for you."

And one soldier is enough to fight against a group of ordinary strong men, which is equivalent to the special police force in Luo Ning's eyes.

"It's just that there are monsters and beasts in Fengzu Mountain, and they are also very mysterious. It's best for us monks to go together. With a few more pairs of eyes, it will be easier to find things."

This seemingly impregnable pass, I'm afraid...

The city wall, which is hundreds of feet high, is so majestic and majestic that it makes people feel insignificant.

Luo Li's feet happened to step on the Yang Eye of the Tai Chi Diagram.

I saw grassy meadows on the roadside, herds of cattle and horses, tents everywhere, and a beautiful grassland scenery.

The surrounding stone carvings are extremely old and can be seen clearly now that they are exposed to the sun.

In fact, even monks, very few people come to Fengzu Mountain to look for Yang Shen Fruit.

Half a day later, everyone entered the mountain.

The more powerful soldiers are the tiger warriors who can compete with the ninth-grade initial martial arts cultivators by virtue of their superior armor. Such tiger warriors are usually commanders or small groups. They can be said to be the strongest among ordinary people and the king of soldiers.

These are just ordinary soldiers of the Xia army.

In fact, he wanted to go on an adventure alone in the Fengshu Mountains, but several others insisted on searching together. If he really came alone, there would be little hope of finding the Yangshen Fruit.

One day later, everyone came to the foothills of Fengzhi Mountain. They saw ancient trees blocking out the sky and the sun, the forest was dark and gloomy, and the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, giving off an aura of barbarism. They didn't know how big or how deep they were.

Luo Ning stepped forward and took a look. The dense forest ahead suddenly opened up, and a huge mountain belly was exposed.

After saying that, Wangxia knelt down, placed his hands on the ground, and barked twice.

Rather than saying that Xifan County is the new land of Tubo, it is better to say that it is the private domain of a group of Tubo nobles.

"It's the Tai Chi diagram." Ghost disciple Hongxiu said. Under her feet was the Yin eye of the Tai Chi diagram.

Because of this, the Tubo army often attacked Xifan County, and finally took away this treasure land from the Xia army.

Qian Si Abacus also knelt down, placed his hands on the ground, and barked twice.

"If we can't find it in the mountains, we'll try our luck in Xifanling City."

There is not much difference from the real Tubo people.

A is wrong!

The Xia army's standard armor is called Xuanqing armor. It weighs only three kilograms, is as thin as a copper coin, and is not much heavier than a robe. However, its protective power is equivalent to half an inch of iron plate. It is actually a real weapon.

…

Before leaving, Tongyan Shaman made a prediction, and it turned out to be a different prediction.

He hasn't acted on stage for a while, and he hasn't treated patients. In the past month, Luo Ning's willpower has been consuming.

The war horses that each of Xia's soldiers are equipped with are thousand-mile horses with the blood of monsters.

In the square at the entrance of the city wall, there are teams of ten-man soldiers patrolling back and forth.

When Luo Ning arrived at the majestic Guan City, he couldn't help but said: "The road to the majestic Guan City is really like iron, but now I'm crossing it from the beginning."

He greeted Qian Sibaan and took four monks, Li Dingguo, Su Xian, Luo Li and Hongxiu, to Fengshan Mountain.

Even monks will be amazed when they see this majestic pass.

Qian Si Abacus pointed to the front and said.

"Okay." Of course Luo Ning would not object.

People who are not familiar with it can't tell, but Li Dingguo can see that this armor is at least a few kilograms heavier than the qualified Xuanqi armor, but the protective power is not as good!

Everyone walked towards the exposed belly of the mountain together, and soon they were standing in the middle of the mountain.

Luo Ning, an eighth-grade monk, was a little horrified when he saw this.

Luo Ning looked at the Xue family caravan going away with cold eyes.

The Tibetan man raised his eyes and saw Qian Sibaba, and laughed loudly: "No wonder Qiangba broke the porcelain bowl today, and the crows in the courtyard didn't listen. It turns out it's you, an old guy!"

It seems that the Xia army's ordnance and equipment have been eroded by corruption and corruption.

Instead, he looked lazy.

"Go and have a look and walk through the mountainside." Luo Ning decided.

"There are still people in Bingzhou who sell Xia people out of the customs and sell them as slaves to the Jin people. It's actually quite common."

There are some stone statues and carvings in the belly of the mountain, which turns out to be a huge monument.

………

"Wait!" Luo Ning felt something was wrong, but as soon as he spoke, he heard a "buzz" and the Tai Chi diagram suddenly moved.

Luo Ning looked around and saw a group of Xia people with Yizhou accents, wearing Tubo robes with left lapels, wearing pagodas, and wearing Tubo braided hair.

Luo Ning and others were not familiar with weapons, but they understood what Li Dingguo said.

The same is true for the Chollima, which is completely monopolized by the imperial court and cannot be owned by private individuals. The special alfalfa grass used to feed the Chollima is also controlled by the imperial court.

Luo Ning snorted coldly, looked ugly, and couldn't help but slap the horse on the back.

They were all dirty, wearing quail clothes, and looking after the cattle and sheep with numb expressions.

It seems that Qian Sibaan's reputation is still of some use in Naqin Manor.

At that time, the Qiang tribes in Xifan County were all herdsmen in Daxia.

The largest grassland in Yizhou is in Xifan Grassland.

When he took a look, he saw Luo Li wiping the ground with his shoes, revealing a Tai Chi pattern.

Seeing this, Qian Sibaanpan said: "Brother Luo Dao has a kind heart and a noble character, so naturally he will not see this. But who told the world to be ruined? The Xue family is far more than the only family that has given people to alien races to cause harm."

The life of the people in Yizhou's countryside was not easy, but compared to these serfs, they were much better off.

At the gate of the manor, several serfs were performing the "dog imitation ceremony" on a richly dressed Tibetan man.

Fengzhi Mountain looks not far away, but it is actually more than a hundred miles away.

After Xifan County was occupied by Tubo, the border expanded thousands of miles eastward, and Chilong Pass became the border between the two sides. All the five million Xia people in Xifan County became serfs of the Tubo nobles.

At noon, we finally arrived at Chilong Pass where the Daxia border army was stationed.

"This armor... is wrong!" Li Dingguo looked at the armor with only his eyes exposed and couldn't help but say.

They knelt on the ground, put their hands on the ground, and made "woof" sounds in their mouths, making dog-like postures.

"I heard that in places such as Guangdong and Minzhou in the south, there are still people who capture refugees and take them to sea and sell them to overseas Western barbarians as slaves."

After being inspected, everyone passed through Guancheng. When they looked back and saw the huge cannons and crossbows squatting on the towering city wall, they all had mixed emotions.

Soon, Butler Wangxia arranged for the Luo family to enter the heavily guarded manor and move into a small village building.

But the morale and condition of these soldiers are... very average.

When Qian Sibaan saw the man, he immediately shouted in Tubo: "Steward Wangxia, who is as honest and strong as a yak ox, you are not dead yet!"

The Great Xia Dynasty had very strict control over armor and horses. The weapon masters who refined the armor had to work for the imperial court, otherwise they would be treason. The materials for refining the armor were strictly prohibited from private storage or trading.

Except for members of the imperial court, no monks are allowed to wear armor. Otherwise, they will be punished as treason.

Change of fortune means that bad luck can be easily transformed into bad luck or good luck.

If they weren't able to talk, they wouldn't seem to be fundamentally different from cattle and sheep.

Apart from stationing a force of soldiers and horses, building a few temples, enfeoffing a group of noble lords, and collecting taxes, there was nothing else to worry about.

Luo Ning's team passed a Xia tribe along the Tea Horse Road. Qian Sibaan pointed at the tribe and said to Luo Ning:

"We Xia people originally did not have tribes. But after they fell into Tubo, they were forcibly made into tribal serfs by their lords, and they became more and more like Tubo people."

Before Luo Ning could study the stone statues, he heard Luo Li say.
