Volume 3 The Troubled Autumn Chapter 116: The wind and snow can't stop it, and the Buddha's finger c
In the next few days, the black carriage encountered several groups of prairie cavalry in the wilderness. Ning Que extremely coldly killed the two smaller groups. When he used his telescope to observe that the number of the enemy exceeded 300 fine cavalry, he
Without hesitation, I chose to go around quietly and escape.
If anyone could organize three hundred elite cavalry in the wilderness, it would be either the cavalry detachment directly under the Royal Court, or it must be the main cavalry of a large tribe.
No matter how confident Ning Que is, he is not willing to confront such an enemy head-on. One of the reasons is that the big black horse does not wear armor, and the more important reason is that no matter how powerful he is after entering the destiny realm, no matter how strong his body, no matter how powerful his mind power
, and cannot withstand the waves of enemies coming at them.
Eventually, his mind power will gradually be depleted and his body will gradually become exhausted. If he is forced into that situation by continuous enemies, he will be unable to do anything but wait for death.
Thousands of years ago, the desert people were defeated in the war with the Tang people. According to the surrender agreement, they abandoned the wasteland and moved to the cold region of Rehai in the far north. The Central Plains people could not adapt to life in the wilderness, so they did not migrate north in large numbers, so the desert people
The vacancy left after the departure was filled by barbarians who moved from the far west, and then gradually evolved into today's steppe barbarians.
The grassland tribes are scattered like stars across the vast land in the north of the mainland. Due to the division of the Min Mountains and the natural boundaries of the region, they are divided into three royal courts. Among them, the Golden Chamber Royal Court is the strongest, while the Youzhang Royal Court has a small population.
, herdsmen mostly believe in Buddhism, so their strength is relatively weak.
The groups of cavalry that Ning Que encountered in the wilderness were from the Youzhang Royal Court, or tribes under the jurisdiction of the Royal Court. He had already guessed that these barbarians who worshiped Buddhism must have received Buddhist edicts from the Xuankong Temple.
The cavalry of the royal court in the right tent did not pose a real threat to the black carriage, but they came one after another. Thousands of cavalry searched the wasteland at all costs, which ultimately slowed down the black carriage.
One day, when the black carriage passed a red barren rock mountain, snow suddenly fell from the cold desert sky. The snowflakes fell slowly to the ground like cotton that had been torn into wadding. It seemed gentle, but because of the softness of the ground, it fell slowly.
The temperature was too low and the snow accumulated rapidly. It didn't take long for the red rock mountains to be painted white.
Sangsang found a large piece of white cloth from somewhere and covered the walls and compartments around the black carriage. He then simply cut it with the remaining white cloth and put the big black horse in it.
Looking at the carriage wrapped in white cloth and the big black horse, and looking at its eyes exposed through the holes in the white cloth, Ning Que felt slightly strange. He always felt that this kind of scene that gave people a natural evil feeling seemed to have been seen somewhere before. But he couldn't remember it for a moment.
.
The wind and snow gradually became more and more attractive, and the road in the wilderness became increasingly difficult to navigate. Ning Que drove the carriage around the rocky mountain, found a slightly higher but secluded place to pause, and took out his telescope to look at the wilderness below.
The wasteland had now turned into a monotonous world of black and white. Snowflakes were falling in the air. It was completely silent. No sound could be heard, and no moving figures could be seen.
Ning Que held the cold telescope and looked at the wasteland quietly for a long time. He did not lose patience at all because the world in the mirror was so desolate and boring, until he finally saw what he wanted to see or what he didn't want to see.
screen.
Ten monks appeared in the field of view of the telescope.
The monks wore thick snow-white cotton robes, and wore shoes made of densely woven grass. Under the shoes, they stepped on slender wooden boards with slightly warped front and rear ends. They held two thin and hard iron rods in their hands. In the wind and snow,
Sliding in the middle, the speed is as fast as a galloping horse.
Ning Que guessed that these monks came from the Xuankong Temple, and couldn't help but frown. He thought that the Xuankong Temple was far away from the human world and had experienced hardships such as wind, frost, rain, and snow. The monks in the temple seemed to be well adapted to the wilderness environment, and even the wind and snow could not stop them.
The steps are really a bit troublesome.
What surprised him even more was that those monks did not wear felt hats or leather boots. The cold and heat seemed to have lost their power to them. So in terms of monasticism, these monks had already entered the cave realm!
Although he was wary and uneasy, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued to sit in front of the car window and observe. While observing the monks from the Xuankong Temple passing by, he calculated the area of the surrounding wilderness, the speed of these monks and soldiers, and the frequency of their searches.
, and then told Sangsang in a low voice.
Sangsang wrote down the numbers on the paper, thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "At least two hundred people are needed for their search of this wasteland to be meaningful."
Naturally, it is impossible to do meaningless things in the Buddhist Holy Land. Her words revealed the fact that there are now at least two hundred monks from the Hanging Temple in the wasteland where the black carriage is located.
What is the concept of two hundred people in the cave profound realm?
Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to gather two hundred practitioners of the Dongxuan Realm. Ning Que was silent. He thought that only the Xiling Temple in the world could dispatch so many masters at any time, but he did not expect that the Xuankong Temple could also do so.
He did not have the confidence to defeat the two hundred monks of Xuankong Temple, and he did not even have the thought of fighting. If he was given enough time to slowly kill, killing for three or two years, he might really be able to kill all these ascetic monks. However,
Haotian and Buddha would not leave so much time for him and Sang Sang.
He was very puzzled as to why the grassland cavalry and the monks from the Hanging Temple could always find the whereabouts of the black carriage in the vast wilderness?
Ning Que's confusion and vigilance were verified again in the next moment.
The carriage's camouflage was good enough, and all traces on the snow were wiped out by him, and the wind and snow obscured his eyesight. However, the two groups of ascetics meeting in the wilderness seemed to have sensed something faintly, and they stabbed the snow with their sticks.
Without hesitation, we walked towards the rocky mountain.
Ning Que knew that he could no longer hide, so he punched the car wall hard.
Listening to the heavy knocking sound coming from behind, the big black horse's breathing suddenly became rapid. The moisture exhaled from the mouth and nose passed through the white cloth and turned into white mist in the cold wind and snow. The eyes exposed outside the holes showed a violent expression.
In excitement, he kicked his hind hooves fiercely and pulled the carriage out of the rocky mountain.
The twenty ascetic monks from the Hanging Temple on the wasteland faintly saw the white figure in the wind and snow, their expressions suddenly stern, the iron rods in their hands seemed to be turning into afterimages, and the wooden boards under their feet were rubbing softly at high speed.
On the snowy surface, I chased towards the white shadow, trying to intercept it.
Ning Que did not sit in the carriage. He stood behind the big black horse and looked at the ascetic monks gliding at high speed on the snow. He let the wind and snow hit his face and waited silently.
There are fifty feather arrows in the quiver next to the shaft, as well as two boxwood bows. He also carries a boxwood bow on his shoulder. If the monks from the Xuankong Temple approach, the bow strings will ring like beads.
The ascetic monks gliding at high speed on the snow had stern but determined expressions, and they let out several low shouts from time to time. In their view, the sudden snowfall today was the Buddha's anger towards the daughter of Pluto.
In a snowy environment, no matter how fast that carriage is, it cannot be compared with ours.
However, these ascetic monks didn't know that Ning Que's carriage was different from all ordinary carriages in the world. The contact between the wheels and the ground was extremely slight, and no matter how soft the snow was, it would not have any impact.
The big black horse neighed excitedly. Its lightning-fast hooves splashed countless snowflakes, and the white cloth covering its body whistled in the snowy wind. It drove the seemingly heavy carriage forward at high speed on the snow.
After more than ten breaths, the carriage gradually left the monks holding poles for skiing far behind, and the wheels only left a very shallow rut on the snow.
After getting rid of these ascetics, it seemed that temporary safety would be ushered in. However, there was always a big gap between reality and imagination. After that encounter in the snow, in a very short period of time, black carriages encountered continuous encounters in the wilderness.
Although several batches of ascetic monks from the Xuankong Temple were able to avoid being thrown away very smoothly, the direction of their advance had to be adjusted, and their escape became more difficult.
Encountering enemies one after another, the pace of escape suddenly accelerated, and the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became tense. The big black horse was exposed in the eyes, and for the first time, the anxiety exceeded the excitement, and even became a little uneasy.
Ning Que understood that the prairie cavalry he encountered a few days ago was just a prelude. Only when the monks from the Hanging Temple joined the chasing team in the wilderness would the escape truly begin.
At this time, he once again thought of the thing that made him vigilant and puzzled. The whereabouts of himself and Sangsang had been exposed. The senior brother who had entered the realm of distance never appeared because the senior brother did not know where he was. Then
Why can Xuankong Temple accurately find its whereabouts every time?
He looked towards the corner of the carriage and his eyes fell on the chessboard.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the chessboard and put it on his lap, then took out a big black umbrella, pulled off a piece of rag from the damaged edge of the umbrella, and wrapped it around the chessboard.
During the break in the escape, the black carriage stopped next to a dead tree that was as if it was a jade branch and was frozen by the snow.
Ning Que picked up the chessboard wrapped in a piece of black umbrella cloth, jumped off the carriage, took out his knife and dug a deep hole under the tree, then threw the chessboard in without hesitation and filled the hole.
The black carriage started again.
The snow suddenly fell and the wind blew quickly. After a while, the ground under the dead tree was covered with thick snow again. Even if someone stood in front of the tree, it would be impossible to tell that the place had been dug up.
Sangsang said: "It feels a bit pity."
Ning Que said: "If the Buddha's chessboard is taken back to Chang'an City and auctioned, it will definitely fetch a large sum of money. It is a pity to throw it away like this without even killing the Yuelun Kingdom."
Sangsang whispered: "That's not what I meant."
Ning Que said: "I remembered that you like to play chess. How about making a good white jade one for you from now on?"
Sangsang said: "It's a pity that a piece of the big black umbrella was torn off."
Ning Que was startled and then laughed.
…
…
Half a day later, dozens of ascetic monks from Xuankong Temple came to the snowy valley where the black carriage once stopped, holding sticks and skiing. The monks' clothes were fluttering like snowflakes dancing in the wind.
There are seven pieces in the head of the Venerable Hall of Xuankong Temple. He silently stepped forward and looked at the compass-like Buddhist instrument in his hand. He looked at the Buddha finger relic inlaid on it and frowned slightly.
The Buddha's finger-bone relics can guide believers to find the magical relics they left in the world. This is the real reason why the black carriage has never been able to escape the pursuit. However, at this time, the Buddha's finger-bone relics were extremely calm, and there was no movement at all. It seemed that they would no longer be able to escape.
The whereabouts of the chessboard cannot be sensed.
Qi Mei looked slightly stern, knowing that the Buddha had missed the best opportunity to kill the daughter of Pluto, so he secretly announced the Buddha's name and silently prayed that this would not be the last chance.
A few miles away, a jade-like withered tree in the snow trembled slightly in the wind, as if nodding.
