Tang Zhen estimated the time and found that it was not an easy task to reach Duan Tou Ridge in a short time.
There are hundreds of miles of roads, and even if you drive day and night, it will take a long time to get there.
In an environment that is close to its original form, it is completely crazy to travel thousands of miles. The mountains and mountains are enough to swallow countless travelers.
Tang Zhen also didn't know whether there were monks from Loucheng near Duan Tou Ridge. If that was the case, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
I can appear directly in the ghost city, a monster's lair. Why can't other Loucheng monks be teleported to Duolingling?
It's just that Tang Zhen has no choice. No matter what the outcome is, as long as there is a slight possibility, Tang Zhen will never give up!
Ergou didn't have any complaints, or he was already prepared to endure hardship from the beginning.
Traveling at night is not an easy task. Even if there is a ready-made road, one foot is still deep and one foot shallow when walking.
In order to make it easier to travel at night, Ergou lit a special oil lamp and hung it on the horned beast's horn to illuminate it.
Although the brightness is not very strong, it is enough for driving at night.
Tang Zhen sat on the back of the shaking horned beast, but he was constantly thinking in his heart about how to reach Duan Tou Ridge faster.
After thinking for a while, Tang Zhen looked at Ergou.
"I remember you once said that the village where you live is close to the mountains. Is this true?"
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's question, Ergou immediately nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case.
"If we go along this road, is it closer to your village or to Duan Tou Ridge?"
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's inquiry, Ergou said that the village was closer and Duan Tou Ridge was further away.
"If you sharpen your knife and chop wood, go to your village first. I have something to do."
After hearing Tang Zhen's instructions, Ergou was confused, but he still nodded and agreed.
The next time will naturally be day and night.
A few days later, a big mountain appeared in front of us.
The mountain peaks in this world are very distinctive, scattered randomly like islands on the sea, with no mountains connecting them.
Appears suddenly and disappears suddenly, with no pattern at all.
A total of three villages were built around this majestic mountain, and Ergou lived in one of them.
When he appeared at the entrance of the village riding a horned beast, children and villagers immediately gathered to watch the two dogs returning home.
"Ergou, aren't you going out to get a wife? Why are you back so soon?"
"You look so majestic in your appearance. You carry a sword and ride a horned beast. Could it be that you have made a fortune?"
"Who is with you? He looks like a nobleman. Is he your master?"
Those villagers in the village who did not go to the mountains and fields would occasionally go to Ergou to inquire and quietly inquire about the news about Tang Zhen.
They were so envious that they didn't expect that Ergou, the most unpromising person, would actually get attached to a noble person!
You must know that the three-headed beast alone is a huge fortune, which ordinary people cannot afford.
Ergou had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, so he felt extremely beautiful. He recalled the looks of noble people he had seen before, and subconsciously imitated them.
"You all get out of the way and don't block my way!"
After pretending to yell at the surrounding villagers, Ergou looked at Tang Zhen and guided him with a smile on his face.
"Go and tell my brother that there are distinguished guests coming to your door. Please clean up the house quickly!"
While Ergou was talking, he took out a few small coins from his pocket and threw them to the children next to him.
Although his body ached a little, he felt extremely excited when he saw the awed eyes of the surrounding villagers.
In a poor small village like theirs, the villagers rarely see money, and spend most of their time bartering.
Now that he throws money around to drive others to do things, he will inevitably become a legend among the villagers, and when he talks about it, his face will be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Ergou, who was illiterate and didn't know the idiom similar to returning home in rich clothes, still felt a huge sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Tang Zhen did not speak, but just followed Ergou along the narrow road filled with urine and urine.
In such a backward and isolated place, you don't expect to see any beautiful sights. There are only leaky houses and smelly villagers in ragged clothes, looking at you with awe and repulsion.
Tang Zhen didn't care about the eyes of the villagers. He only cared about what he wanted. Ever since he entered the village, he had been looking everywhere.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Ergou call him "big brother", and then he dragged a man with a face full of vicissitudes of life and saluted Tang Zhen respectfully.
Tang Zhen nodded. Ergou's eldest brother was different from him. He should be an out-and-out farmer.
The name is also very simple, just called Big Dog.
There were two women standing behind, one was Dagou's wife, a very simple and shy woman who didn't even dare to raise her head when she saw Tang Zhen.
The other is Er Gou's younger sister. Her personality is very similar to that of his second brother. At this moment, she is staring at the noble man Tang Zhen with her big black and white eyes.
Not far away, behind the house, there were three little heads exposed. They seemed to have not washed their faces for a long time, so their faces and necks were dark and shiny.
"Sir, this is my eldest brother's home. How about we rest here first?"
Ergou looked at Tang Zhen and said in a questioning tone.
"There is no rush to rest. Do you remember what I said in the middle of the journey? If possible, I hope to execute it immediately."
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, Ergou nodded, and then found a man in the crowd, who was the village chief.
Listening to Ergou's introduction, the village chief looked at Tang Zhen with even more awe. Compared to other villagers, this somewhat experienced village chief could see Tang Zhen's extraordinary qualities better.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle what you asked me to do!"
The village chief approached Tang Zhen and said in a respectful tone, obviously wanting to leave a good impression in front of the noble man.
"Do it well, I won't treat you badly."
While Tang Zhen was talking, he took out a gold coin from his pocket, and then let the village chief see more gold coins inside.
Then, with the village chief's shocked eyes, he broke the gold coin in half, gave one half to the village chief, and the other half to the big dog.
"Take it, this is a meeting gift for you!"
The village chief was shaking with excitement and quickly thanked Tang Zhen, because with this half gold coin, his youngest son would have enough money to start a family.
The big dog, however, looked confused and didn't understand what Tang Zhen had given him. After hearing the second dog tell him the value of the gold coins, he was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Tang Zhen.
"Okay, I don't want to waste time. If you can complete the task as soon as possible, I will give you more rewards."
After Tang Zhen finished speaking, he walked into the yard. He asked Ergou to find someone to build a pergola and began to prepare for the next work.
Money makes it easy to do things, so all the men, women, and children in the entire village were mobilized. Some were responsible for cutting wood to build a pergola, while others searched for the materials Tang Zhen needed and sent them to Dagou's home in a steady stream.
After working hard, they will receive wages, which makes the villagers more and more excited and full of energy.
After everything was ready, Tang Zhen started to work. He ordered people to take pieces of wood and chop them into a rough shape according to the drawings.
The villagers had never done such work before, and the speed was very slow at first, but after getting used to it, the speed gradually became faster.
Some people were carving wood, while others were responsible for collecting the plants and animal skins that Tang Zhen needed, and then putting them into stone pots that Tang Zhen chopped with his long sword and boiling them continuously. The whole village was filled with a strange smell.
After the whole village was mobilized and worked for nearly ten days, a strange object appeared in front of everyone.
