It was not as difficult as imagined to convince Tashi's family. After Meng Xiuyuan's words, Tashi and Yang Jin were silent for a moment, discussing a few words with each other in a low voice, and then fell to their knees on the ground again, kowtowing to Meng Xiuyuan.
At this point, they knew that Meng Xiuyuan would not harm them.
After several months of contact, they had already placed more trust in Meng Xiuyuan. Although they were born serfs and had never seen much of the world, they were not fools after all.
They could see that although Meng Xiuyuan was young, he was truly a noble man worthy of trust and respect.
At this moment, Meng Xiuyuan could obviously leave, but he still wanted to persuade them, and even personally escorted their family to escape. The driving force behind this was only pure goodwill.
After all, with Meng Xiuyuan's ability, there is nothing in their family worthy of his coveting and planning.
So although it was contrary to their life experience in the past decades, in the end, they decided to believe Meng Xiuyuan.
"Hero, please take the two little guys Kelsang and Dawa away. You can hold them and walk faster.
If we two old guys follow you on the road, it will only drag you down and you will be overtaken. We two old guys have lived enough.
Gesang's mute disease is almost cured, and she looks pretty good. I hope you, hero, will be kind and accept her as your woman, and let her stay with you and serve you.
Dawa, he has grown very fast, and his body and bones have been strong since he was a child. In three or four years, he will be your servant. Please give him a mouthful of food to eat until he grows to the height of your chest. Then he will
Then you can live on your own..."
Tashi and Yang Jin kept kowtowing on the ground and begging at the same time.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head and said calmly:
"No need, it's better for you to take care of your own child. I don't have that free time.
Since I said I wanted to protect you, there is no need for you to think about chasing soldiers.
Large-scale troops and horses cannot be mobilized so quickly and cannot catch up with us.
And if the old lama's disciples come after him, it will only be a good thing for me, as they will save me the trouble of finding them.
They're just a few beasts, it doesn't take much effort to kill them."
…
In this way, Meng Xiuyuan took little Gesang's family of four on the eastward escape journey that day.
Just as Zhaxi said, it was indeed difficult for Meng Xiuyuan to move very fast with his family of four. There were too many people, and Meng Xiuyuan could not use Qinggong to fly with them.
All he could do was hold little Dawa in front of him and little Gesang on his back, and instill a little bit of Qi into Tashi and Yangjin from time to time to help them relieve their fatigue.
Fortunately, Tashi and his wife have been working hard all year round and are not too old, so they are physically able to endure the long journey.
On the fifth day from the departure, they came across a large manor on the roadside. Meng Xiuyuan thought that walking like this would not be a problem. He arranged the family of four to a hidden place and went to the manor alone to buy something.
I got an old carriage and two draft horses.
The whole process went smoothly. Although the housekeeper of the manor was confused about Meng Xiuyuan's identity, for the sake of money, he didn't ask any more questions. In order to avoid any complications, Meng Xiuyuan happily paid the money and left.
The family of four got into the carriage and started traveling a little faster.
The five of them chose a small road to travel. They met passers-by on the road. When they saw the five of them, they just thought that Meng Xiuyuan, a handsome young nobleman, had bought a family of four serfs and was about to transport them to his own manor.
Few are suspicious.
Taking this opportunity, Meng Xiuyuan began to teach the Kelsang family to learn as much Central Plains as possible to prepare for their future lives. Tashi and Yangjin were older and struggled to learn, but it was the two younger children, Kelsang and Dawa, who Children, they learn Chinese dialect very quickly.
Especially for little Gesang, this girl was treated twice more by Meng Xiuyuan on the way, and her throat was almost complete and smooth enough to make sounds. The mute disease was almost cured.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this little Kelsang could speak, he showed amazing language talent.
Little Gesang could remember the words that Meng Xiuyuan taught them without having to listen to them twice, and her pronunciation was still very standard when she said them again. Even if I asked her a few days later, she would not forget them.
Learning a new language that you have never heard before seems as simple as eating and drinking.
This makes people sigh, if people like little Kelsang were born in later generations, they must be talented. If nothing else, just saying that he has learned more than ten or twenty languages is enough to scare people.
Of course, these are just episodes on the road. The most critical thing for Meng Xiuyuan and his family of four at this time is to travel day and night.
After all, despite his strong words, Meng Xiuyuan actually hoped that there would be no pursuers along the way.
When he needed to take care of little Gesang and his family of four, it would definitely be inconvenient for Meng Xiuyuan to take action with others. It would be easier to settle them and then go back to deal with those beasts alone.
However, he also understood that all the lamas in the temple were slaughtered, and a family of four serfs living nearby disappeared immediately. Anyone who was interested could not help but be suspicious and would definitely follow this clue to investigate.
And he was on the road with the four members of Kelsang's family. It was impossible for him to climb snow-capped mountains or cross deserts as he could by walking on his own, so his whereabouts were difficult to conceal no matter what. If an experienced person was willing to follow them, he would eventually be able to find them.
Sure enough, in the early morning of that day, Meng Xiuyuan and the others just woke up and continued on the road. But suddenly, Meng Xiuyuan's ears moved and he vaguely heard the sound of a large number of people and horses rushing collectively on the road behind them.
He hurriedly picked up the ladder Yunzong, and with a slight push from the carriage, his body flew towards a huge stone on the side of the road. Then he kicked two or three times on the stone wall, and Meng Xiuyuan suddenly jumped up several feet high, steadily. He landed firmly on the top of the boulder.
With his true energy in his eyes, Meng Xiuyuan looked towards the road he came from, and sure enough he saw a group of dozens of people chasing after him on horseback. Each of these people were wearing red cassocks, all dressed as lamas, and carrying weapons, bows and arrows. , and were on their way in such a hurry, it was hard not to think that they were the disciples of the old lama who came to chase and kill them.
Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly at the sight. There were more pursuers than he expected. In such a wide place, Meng Xiuyuan had to protect the four members of the Kelsang family from being injured in the hands of so many people, and he also had to leave no one behind. Killing them all may not be an easy task.
And since they can chase them here, it is obvious that it is difficult to hide now.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan made a decision immediately. After jumping off the boulder, he immediately tied Xiao Dawa to his chest with the rope from the car, carried Xiao Ge on his back, lifted Tashi and Yangjin with his left and right hands respectively and put them under his armpits, and threw them down the road. The carriage turned around and rushed towards the snow-capped mountains not far away.
"Hero...hey young...what are we going to do?"
Tashi was suddenly strangled around his waist by Meng Xiuyuan's steel-like arms. He felt that he was about to die and his body was about to be broken into two pieces. However, he did not dare to question Meng Xiuyuan, so he could only ask in a gentle voice.
"The pursuers are here. I'll take you to a safe place to hide, so I can have my hands free to focus on dealing with them."
After hearing what Meng Xiuyuan said, Zhaxi and Yang Jin couldn't help but feel very nervous, and felt that their hearts were about to pop out. But out of their trust in Meng Xiuyuan, they stopped asking questions and just persisted.
In this way, Meng Xiu used his Qinggong skills to carry four people and ran wildly on the snow-capped mountains for nearly half an hour. Finally, he found a natural cave.
Meng Xiuyuan rushed in, and after confirming that there were no ferocious beasts inside, he put down Yang Jin and Tashi, who were almost tortured to death, and then placed the two children in front and behind him on the ground.
"Don't worry, wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon."
He just heard that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, so he didn't have time to talk to the four of them, so he turned around and walked out of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Meng Xiuyuan looked around for a moment and found a big stone not far away. The stone weighed more than several thousand kilograms. He used his true energy and strength to barely erect it and rolled it back to block it.
At the entrance of the cave.
The footsteps of the pursuing soldiers were getting closer and closer. Meng Xiuyuan had no time to look for other stones, so he had to channel his full energy on his sword and slash at the wall of the cave entrance, letting the rocks on it fall to pieces to help block the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave was not big to begin with, and was partially covered by the rocks. The rocks fell down and built up, and it was completely blocked in an instant. He only deliberately left a few air holes that could not be detected.
By the time Meng Xiuyuan finished all this, the lamas had already caught up to him.
This cave is located halfway up the mountain, and there happens to be a fairly flat and open space in front of the cave entrance.
When these dozens of lamas saw Meng Xiuyuan, they swarmed up and almost filled the open space, tightly surrounding Meng Xiuyuan.
Immediately, four middle-aged lamas appeared in the crowd. They were wearing pearls and jewels and had majestic expressions on their faces. Listening to their breathing and seeing their posture, they all had profound martial arts skills.
Obviously these four people are the leaders of this group of lamas, the direct disciples of the old lama, and the fourth of the so-called "Eight Vajras of Tantric Buddhism".
And the dozens of lamas behind the four of them all looked good. At least they all had a solid foundation in martial arts, which was much better than the ones Meng Xiuyuan had killed in the temple before.
As soon as they met, the large number of lamas had already set up their formations without any instructions.
The people in the front raised their shields and drew their swords, while the people in the back held their bows and arrows. They were like well-trained soldiers, and they cooperated very well. It was obvious that their main occupation was not chanting sutras and meditating, but they probably did a lot of murder and arson.
"Devil, you take those four serfs to escape, and you are the one hiding from us, right?
Don’t worry, you can’t run away.”
The tallest of the four leading lamas stood up and said to Meng Xiuyuan with a sinister look on his face.
Meng Xiuyuan secretly looked at the formation in front of him and felt that the lineup in front of him might be much more powerful than what he encountered in the temple that day.
It's just that now the little Gesang family is sealed in the cave by him, and there is no burden behind him, so he feels relaxed.
Isn't this vast snow-capped mountain a perfect place to slaughter these beasts?
Meng Xiuyuan thought about this, simply touched the back of his neck, and admitted it comfortably:
"As expected of your master's direct disciple, what he said before his death is so similar.
Have you never thought about how your master died in my hands, and you still want to come and die?"
After Meng Xiuyuan said these words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he couldn't help laughing.
But his smile was not to mock his opponent, but he felt that what he said really sounded like a villain.
But he didn't expect that his smile would actually annoy the other party.
"Devil, don't be so arrogant!
I don’t know what despicable means you used to kill my revered master, but today we, the four Vajras and all of us, have no reason to let you live.
My teacher, Venerable Dalaiba, has a noble character and immeasurable merits throughout his life. In his later years, I wanted to quietly study Buddhism, but I did not want to die tragically at your hands together with everyone in the temple.
With your evil deeds, you deserve to fall into the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the animal realm, where you will never be reincarnated!
Today I want to let you understand that the Buddha also has the angry eyes of Vajra."
Meng Xiuyuan heard him say such righteous words, and looked at the leather double-sided drums and bone long horns they were wearing. They also didn't look like they were made by animals. He just thought it was too ironic and couldn't help but laugh.
Even louder:
"good!
Please come out and let me see clearly the Buddha you are talking about today.
I want to ask her face to face, what do you mean by having noble moral character and immeasurable merit?
But don't worry, even if the real Buddha is here today, I will kill you beasts.
She can’t protect you, I told you.”
When Meng Xiuyuan said this, the Zhenwu sword in his hand had not yet been taken out of its sheath, and the sword energy was flowing freely.
