The three caravans agreed to gather outside Yueqiang City.
Outside the city gate.
When they saw Jin An coming to gather with three sheep and learned that Jin An really planned to take the three sheep into the depths of the desert, everyone in the caravan looked shocked.
But it's okay.
The two extra sheep brought this time are normal-sized sheep.
Pretty normal.
The bearded man who lived in the same inn with Jin An explained seriously: "Taoist Master Jin An said that you should take three sheep with you when traveling far away. There is an idiom among the Han people called 'Three Yang Kaitai', which means good luck and good fortune."
The auspicious hexagram can bring us good luck, let everyone's wishes come true and go home safely."
After listening to the bearded man's serious explanation, everyone in the caravan stood in awe.
They all already know that Jin An is a Taoist priest with real abilities and a master Taoist priest. If Taoist priest Jin An said that San Yang Kaitai, then it must be San Yang Kaitai. They thought that Taoist Jin An saved their lives several times along the way, and now he is like this
Think about them and pray for their safety and success. The more I think about them, the more grateful I feel.
Keremu solemnly said: "From now on, everyone will treat the three sheep raised by Jin'an Taoist priest as human beings. No one is allowed to criticize them, and no one is allowed to think about them!"
Kremu warned the people in his caravan.
The bearded man also stood up and nodded seriously and said: "Yes, we are not only people, but also our own people. Everyone brings more water and hay to help Taoist Jin'an and the three sheep brothers solve their problems! Help Taoist Jin'an and the three sheep brothers
, it’s like helping ourselves!”
Under his gaze, other people in the caravan echoed one after another, saying that I would help carry a bag of water, and I would help carry a bag of hay...
Old Sadiq and young Sahaf burst into tears when they heard this, and excitedly asked for help from the caravan: "We are human beings, we are not sheep, we are really human beings! Save us!"
baa baa
baa baa
The two kept asking for help, but all they could say was bleating.
"These two new sheep are so active. It seems that Taoist priest Jin'an really treats them well and gives them enough water and fodder to be so energetic." Uncle Kremu said in surprise.
"What!"
"What!"
Old Sadiq and young Sahafu hurriedly defended themselves, saying that it was not like that. The good man in your eyes, Taoist Master Jin'an, was actually a demon who could turn people into sheep!
"Boss, look at them, they shed tears after hearing what we said. I, Apa, have said that desert animals shed tears towards people to express their gratitude. They can understand our words, and they are shedding tears towards us to express their gratitude."
Maisutu, who had saved a life in Jin'an, said to his boss Kremu in surprise.
As a result, everyone looked at Jin An with higher respect.
"What?"
"What?"
I'm so grateful.
Our tears are tears of fear and fear.
Is there no one in this world who can understand human speech?
The uncle and nephew finally gave up the last trace of chance and completely accepted the reality. They went back to the goats to lick their hair and pat their farts. The desert is very dangerous. There are still many dangers hidden in the upcoming desert journey. It is better to ask for help.
Qiyang, they can't rely on anyone. Now they can only rely on the senior sheep, who are also the fallen sheep in the world, to take care of the younger ones.
After counting the number of people, water, food and other supplies, everything was prepared and no one was left behind. The caravan continued on the road, walking in a long line on the rippled desert, heading towards the ancient river bed.
The Yueqiang Kingdom is not close to the ancient river, so they have to go back to the ancient river and continue to follow the ancient river deep into the vast desert.
On the bare desert, a few Populus euphratica trees that had survived for thousands of years after death, and a few clusters of Haloxylon ammodendron with almost only their root systems remaining after death, became the roadside for them to rediscover the ancient river course.
…
the next day.
It is still the same ancient river.
Suddenly, yellow sand rose into the sky from the river behind him, and half of the sky was covered with yellow sand. It could be seen from a long distance away.
The caravan that was originally on its way in the ancient river broke into chaos.
"It's a desert bandit!"
"Tighten up the team!"
The bearded man's face changed drastically.
"Use the camels and goods as a circle to keep out the outside. Those who can't fight should hide in the camel circle! The remaining desert warriors, take up arms and fight with my bearded man! The sand bandits are more cruel than the devil, and they kill every time
All the people in the caravan will rob all the goods of the caravan. If you encounter the sand bandits, you can only survive by fighting with your life to scare them away!"
Bearded men were escorted by three caravans, a total of more than a dozen people, using the camel circle as the horns of the formation. Their expressions were solemn as they listened to the sound of camels running closer and closer to the ancient river behind them.
Jin An also saw many people in the caravan taking out ox-horn bows.
Boom!
Yellow dust rose into the sky, like a rolling earth dragon approaching quickly, and the hooves of many running camels fell on the ancient river like a violent storm. There was a rumble. It was a well-equipped army with a lot of iron tools. The camels were one taller than the caravan.
A fine desert cavalry head.
Resources are scarce in the desert.
Especially the lack of iron ore.
If you want to have such a desert cavalry in the desert, you are definitely not an ordinary sand bandit. They have not completely left the Yueqiang Kingdom. How did the most ferocious sand bandits in the desert come here?
At this moment, the faces of the people in the caravan turned pale. They, a small caravan, could not resist the charge of the well-equipped desert cavalry.
Both old Sadiq and little Sahaf were so frightened that they started to poop again and again, and their tails swept away particles of sheep excrement.
Only Jin An's eyesight was stronger than ordinary people, and he noticed that something was wrong. He shouted to the bearded men who were bending their bows and drawing arrows and already making an attack posture: "Don't attack yet, the camel cavalry seemed to be flying the white moon flag of the Yue Qiang Kingdom!"
"
He was right.
The people who came were indeed the camel cavalry of the Yueqiang Kingdom, and they were also the most brave and skilled palace cavalry of the Yueqiang Kingdom.
"Is the caravan in front of you led by Batur, Kremu, and Amir? Don't get me wrong, we don't have any ill intentions. We are from the Yueqiang Kingdom, and we have invited the Yueqiang royal family to meet the caravans from Kangding Kingdom.
Taoist Jin'an, is Taoist Jin'an in the caravan?"
The bearded men looked at each other and looked at Jin An in surprise.
When the camel cavalry were thirty or forty feet away from the caravan, they collectively stopped their camels, then got off their camels and begged to see Jin An.
This ceremony is very solemn.
Facing the confused and puzzled looks of the people around him, Jin An was also confused. He asked the bearded men to wait and see what happened, and then walked out of the camel circle alone.
"If there is no second person named Jin An in the caravan, I will be the Jin An Taoist priest you are looking for. Do you think the royal family of Yue Qiang King is looking for me?" Jin An frowned and looked at the cavalry team of about 20 people in front of him.
.
But the next scene made Big Beard and the others even more stunned.
The Yueqiang Kingdom's cavalry collectively knelt on one knee and faced Jin'an. The leading man said: "Taoist Priest Jin'an, we heard that you helped Batur and the others drive away the devils, and also killed the desert devils with your own hands. Please
Save Yueqiang Country."
Jin An's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly: "What's going on?"
The big man looked at the caravan with hesitation, and when the two of them walked aside, he handed over a letter to Jin An.
Jin An quickly read the content of the letter without much emotion on his face: "Isn't there a Hekmati shaman in Yueqiang country? The king is possessed by an evil spirit. Why don't you ask the Hekmati shaman to drive away the devil?
Are you willing to go far away to find me?"
This man is nearly two meters tall, as strong as a black iron tower, his arms are thicker than an ordinary person's thighs, and his chin beard is thicker than a beard. His name is Kuli Jiang.
Kulijiang had a solemn expression on his face: "Hekmati Shaman is dead."
"Dead?" Jin An was startled, and his expression immediately returned to normal.
No wonder I didn't see the shaman at the city gate when I left the city this morning.
To be continued...
