The strongest heavenly master

Chapter 227
Along the way, deserts, Gobi, meadows, lakes, villages, towns, camels, caravans...appeared alternately, and Gao Xing finally saw the real style of the Western Regions.

At the same time, it also gave Gao Xing a strange feeling, as if he had traveled to Journey to the West.

However, although the towns along the way are prosperous, they are all small in scale. Some small towns only have a population of a few hundred, which is not as large as some ancient towns in later generations.

A city of two to 3000 people is already quite good.

After all, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated. Even in later generations, the size and population of cities in the Northwest are far inferior to those in the South.

"It's strange, we've been asking all the way, but why hasn't there been any news about that old guy?"

After inquiring all the way, the three of them didn't find any trace of the national teacher's whereabouts. Xiaobai was a little puzzled.

"Yes, are we going in the wrong direction?"

Xiaoqing also asked a question.

Gao Xing shook his head: "The direction must be correct, we have been walking along the avenue. Perhaps, that old guy didn't enter the city at all..."

"Then what should we do? We don't know his whereabouts. It's impossible for us to find him blindly."

Gao Xing thought for a while, and said, "Let's go further and find out if there is anything special happening, or there are legends about miraculous elixir.

After all, that old guy went to the Western Regions to find rare medicinal materials, we can follow this clue to find them. "

"okay."

The two girls nodded.

The next day, the three came to a small country.

It is said that it is a country, but it is actually a city.

The buildings in the city are filled with a strong style of the Western Regions, most of them are domes, and then there are spires.

The costumes worn by the local people are a bit like the Indian style of later generations.

Not far away, there was a sudden commotion on the street.

A team of about a hundred people, neatly dressed and solemn, walked towards the outside of the city.

"Auntie, what do these people do?"

Xiaobai curiously asked a fat aunt standing beside him.

"Sister, she can't understand us..."

Xiaoqing said subconsciously.

"So the two of you are girls..."

Unexpectedly, the aunt could speak Central Plains dialect, although her tone was a bit stiff.

Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed.

The aunt didn't mind, and took the initiative to explain: "They are going on a pilgrimage to the holy mountain. This is our local traditional custom. Many people go there every year..."

Hearing this, Gao Xing turned his head and asked in surprise, "Holy Mountain? Auntie, is there a mountain near here?"

In his impression, all he saw along the way were deserts and Gobi, and he didn't seem to have seen the shadow of mountains.

"Yes, if you go out of the city and go north, you can see the holy mountain Kunlun after walking for dozens of miles..."

Kunlun Mountains?
Upon hearing this word, Gao Xing finally came to his senses.

How could such an important place be forgotten.

Since ancient times, Kunlun Mountain has been hailed as "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains", stretching for thousands of miles, and it is the most important source of water in the Western Regions.

In Chinese folklore, Kunlun Mountain is the dojo of the Queen Mother of the West.

Of course, in the Western Regions, there may be other legends... For example, this aunt called it a holy mountain, and what they believe in should not be the Queen Mother of the West, but other gods and gods.

If the national teacher really went to the Western Regions to search for the medicine of immortality as Ziyi said, then Kunlun Mountain must be the first choice.

The Kunlun Mountains traverse thousands of miles, like a giant dragon, and have left too many magical legends among the people.

Its influence is so great that it affects countless areas.

In addition to the Western Regions, including the Central Plains, the Snow Region, and even the Eurasian region all have considerable influence.

It seems that different races can find their own beliefs here, and they all regard it as a holy mountain.

here.It is also a Taoist holy place.

According to ancient myths and legends, many immortal masters have their own palaces or ashrams in Kunlun Mountains.

For example, the "Yao Chi" of the Queen Mother of the West, the "Yuxu Palace" of Yuanshi Tianzun, and so on.

Therefore, Kunlun Mountain is also known as "the first sacred mountain in China".

Even in later generations, there are still countless unsolved mysteries...

……

After these pilgrims to the holy mountain left, the people on both sides of the street also began to disperse slowly.

At this time, Gao Xing said softly to Xiaobai and Xiaoqing: "Let's go around the city first, and then find out if there is any news about the national teacher. If it doesn't work, let's go to Kunlun Mountain to look for it."

In The Legend of the White Snake, Bai Suzhen also went to Kunlun Mountain.

The reason is that Xu Xian listened to Fa Hai's words and secretly woke up a bowl of realgar wine for Bai Suzhen to drink.

As a result, Bai Suzhen appeared in the form of a snake after being drunk, scaring the timid Xu Xian to death...

died……

Up...

In desperation, Bai Suzhen went to Kunlun Fairy Mountain regardless of everything, and sneaked into the fairy mansion of Antarctic fairy to steal Ganoderma lucidum, but was stopped by two immortals, Helu and Deer.

At that time, Bai Suzhen hadn't fully cultivated to a positive result, and eventually lost to defeat.

It happened that the Antarctic fairy returned home, and after hearing the reason, he gave Bai Suzhen a Ganoderma lucidum out of sympathy, which saved Xu Xian from life.

Although it is a folklore, it can be seen that the Kunlun Fairy Mountain is really well-deserved, with countless fairy caves, and fairy grasses such as snow lotus and ganoderma that can bring people back to life.

"There is an inn run by Han people in front of us. Let's stay overnight and inquire about the news casually. If it doesn't work, we will leave for Kunlun Mountain early tomorrow morning."

The city is not big, so it didn't take long to complete the tour. Gao Xing saw an inn not far ahead, so he said to the second daughter Xiaobai.

"Well, let's go!"

Xiaobai nodded, and followed Gao Xing into the Han-style inn.

As soon as he entered the door, a waiter warmly greeted him.

Gao Xing asked for two upper rooms, then sat down in the lobby and ordered some food and drinks.

It seems that the business of the inn is not very good, and there are not many diners in the lobby.

Perhaps because the inn is located in the middle of the city, and there is no place to keep horses and camels, the caravans passing by will naturally not rest here.

The shopkeeper should be from the Central Plains, slightly fat, with a thin beard, wearing a blue gown, sitting at the counter with a frown, not knowing what is on his mind.

There are two guys in the store, one Han Chinese and one local.

Xiao Er was more enthusiastic. After serving the food and wine on the table, he smiled and asked: "Are the three guest officials back to Datang, or have they just come from Datang?"

Gao Xing replied: "Well, I just came here..."

"Isn't it hard on the way? This place is no worse than the Central Plains. The wind and sand are relatively large, and there are few people."

"Yeah... By the way, Xiao Er, have there been many people from the Central Plains in the city recently?"

"It's not that many, here we mainly have more caravans from the Western Regions to the Central Plains..."

"Then have you seen a person from the Central Plains recently, who looks about fifty years old..."

Gao Xing roughly described the appearance of Taiyin Zhenjun.

Speaking of which, Taiyin Zhenjun is quite recognizable. It looks a bit like a zombie. If you encounter it in the middle of the night, it will probably scare you to death.

Perhaps, it is the reason of the cultivation method.

Including his two disciples, Zixuan and Ziyi, they are all different.

The sissy may be born, but the face does look quite different from ordinary people, and it looks gloomy.

Therefore, once the national teacher shows up here, most people will remember it.

As a result, Xiao Er thought about it for a while, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't seem to have any impression, what is it? Are you looking for someone?"

"Well, it's okay, just ask me."

"Cough, cough..."

At this time, a woman came out of the inner hall coughing.

From his appearance and attire, he is a local, about thirty years old, tall and good-looking, but his face is blue with red and red with white, which is obviously not normal.

He frowned slightly, covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief in his hand, and coughed while walking with his hunched body, looking very painful.

"Zagul, why did you come out?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and walked over, helping the woman to sit down.

Judging from their demeanor, they should be a couple.

"Cough, cough, the room is stuffy, I'll come out to get some air...cough, cough..."

The woman coughed while talking.

The shopkeeper patted the woman on the back and asked, "Have you taken the medicine I made for you?"

"Well, I ate..."

No wonder the shopkeeper is frowning, because there is a seriously ill patient in the family.

Gao Xing subconsciously glanced at Zagul, and frowned...

"Brother, this woman seems to be suffering from tuberculosis?"

Xiaobai also glanced at it, then asked Gao Xing in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Gao Xing nodded.

In ancient times, once suffering from tuberculosis, it was considered terminally ill and difficult to cure.

"Zagul, you'd better go back to your room and rest."

"I want to spend more time with you...cough coughcough...with this disease, I don't know how long I can live...cough cough..."

"Zagul, don't be silly. I heard that Master Miti has returned from the Central Plains. I will go ask for medicine for you tomorrow."

"Ali, don't go, we don't have that much money...cough cough cough..."

The woman coughed for a while every time she said a word, which made people feel a little worried.

"Zagul, how can you say such stupid things? Even if I lose all my belongings, I will find a way to cure you..."

Hearing the conversation between the couple, Gao Xing's heart skipped a beat.

Because he captured two key words: Master Mitti, Central Plains.

At the beginning, according to Ziyi, True Lord Taiyin left Beijing together with two men from the Western Regions.

Those who can establish a relationship with Taiyin Zhenjun should not be ordinary people, right?
So, this Master Miti, could he be one of them?

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai seemed to have thought of this question as well, and couldn't help but said, "Senior brother, should we go find something about that?"

"Well, don't worry, let me ask the shopkeeper first... Xiaoqing, go and call the shopkeeper over."

Xiaoqing immediately raised her hand: "Hey, shopkeeper, come here..."

Gao Xing glanced at Xiaoqing speechlessly.

Such a simple action, I can't do it?Want you to call?

The shopkeeper was comforting the lady. Hearing Xiaoqing's call, he answered first, then whispered a few words of comfort to the lady, and then walked over with a smile on his face.

"I don't know what orders the guest officer has?"

"It's not me, it's my master."

Xiaoqing pointed to Gao Xing.

"It's such a shopkeeper. I think your wife is a little sick. Is it tuberculosis?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, and then forced a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, I will help her back to the room... But guest officer, don't worry, although she has a bad cough, this disease will not spread to others..."

"Treasurer, you misunderstood, I mean, maybe I can help her take a look."

"Ah? Are you a doctor?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised.

"Well, I know some medical skills..."

"Then... how much is the consultation fee?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice.

After all, tuberculosis cannot be cured by an ordinary doctor, and the shopkeeper obviously doesn't trust Gao Xing, fearing that he will encounter a liar.
