At the foot of the mountain was a long line of traveling merchants, with smoke from cooking and the aroma of exotic delicacies wafting in the air.

The somewhat embarrassed-looking wall pigeon passed silently by the caravan, and its shadow gracefully climbed up to the top of the cliff along the rocks.

It walked out of the shadows and turned back into a three-dimensional human form.

"How pitiful." The man turned his head, glanced at him and smiled at him.

Bijiu didn't take it seriously, he just smiled silly and looked very sunny, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"I'm sorry, my assassination failed." Bijiu said sorry, but there was no guilt in his tone.

Anyway, the other party must have figured it out.

"It's a good thing to have expectations after all." The man, that is, Yuwen Guoshi, said in a gentle tone, "I'm happy for you."

"You seem quite happy too, old friend." Bijiu smiled and walked to the side of Yuwen Guoshi, looked curiously down the cliff, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Mm." The Imperial Master nodded his chin towards a small caravan.

"Who?" Bijiu saw the two familiar figures at a glance and was stunned, "Wait... which one is the old friend? Shit! You weren't born a girl?"

"It's too troublesome to take care of a woman's life. I told you long ago that I would not be born a girl again, but you forgot again," said Yuwen Guoshi with a smile. "Look, that little fox demon by the stove."

"What's wrong with her?" Bijiu sniffed. "Are you attracted by the food she cooks? Do you want to catch her to be the cook? Hmm... she has good taste."

"She is more than just a cook," the Imperial Master chuckled and shook his head, "The painter you met today is her disciple."

"?!"

"Yes, she is what Shenzhou calls the Holy Ancestor, Jiang Ke'er. She can do more than just this."

Bijiu looked at the smile on the Imperial Master's face that came from the bottom of his heart, as if he understood something.

"Are you going to marry her?" Bijiu suddenly showed a gossipy face.

"A forced melon is not sweet," Yuwen Guoshi shook his head, "If I had known her earlier, I might have had such thoughts... but not now, she already has someone in her heart. Besides..."

"Besides what?"

The Imperial Master did not answer.

Fortunately, Bijiu was used to it. He knew that with his IQ, he would not be able to understand many things even if the Imperial Master told him.

"Where is Dijiang?" Bijiu asked curiously.

"Still asleep."

"What a lazy pig." The dove couldn't help but curl its lips.

But as he was talking, his eyes suddenly fell on Qiao Xiaoxian, who was wearing a veil.

“That girl…” Bijiu’s eyes revealed a look of shock and realization. “You asked Dijiang to put the blood curse into the trial and asked us to build the trial. Could it be that…”

"Well, it's for them."

85. Plan

Qiao Xiaoxian had a vague feeling of uneasiness.

The further northwest you go, the stronger this feeling becomes.

It seems that something that has been suppressed for a long time is awakening.

Beside her, Jiang Ke'er was completely unaware.

She had been cooking for who knows how many days in a row, and she felt like a heartless cook.

Her mind is now full of the mechanized cooking process.

And now she will no longer ask "Why did you bring back so many ingredients, Sister Qianxue?"

She always felt guilty towards Qiao Qianxue. After all, she loved her so deeply, but she was always obsessed with the invisible and intangible Qiao Xiaoxian.

So she has to try her best to satisfy the other party.

Cooking.

It’s just Sister Qianxue’s task.

Just do it.

Li Niu went to the post station to buy camels, but unfortunately the strong and healthy camels had already been picked up by the Western Regions and European caravans ahead.

When it was the plowing ox's turn to choose, only the skinny and small camels that looked like sickly people were left.

With a camel like this, it will be difficult to walk through the Gobi Desert...

Li Niu looked at Jiang Ke'er again with a headache, hoping that this omnipotent saint could find a solution and conjure up something like a powerful pill.

Jiang Ke'er looked up, then casually took a handful of boiled wild vegetables from the pot and threw them into the camel's trough.

Ding ding ding~ Camel girl joins the team~

"..."

Li Niu is no longer surprised.

After all, cooking always results in waste. There are already fly girls all over the mountains in Nanzhao, so what are these camel girls?

Anyway, there are vehicles, although these vehicles cannot be ridden...

"We're almost there," Li Niu cheered up.

Lhasa was the capital of Tubo. Arriving in Lhasa meant arriving in the proper Western Regions.

Since the 33rd King Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne of the Tubo Kingdom, the Tubo Kingdom has designated Lhasa as its capital.

There was also a little hiccup during this period.

The Tang Empire was powerful at that time, and Songtsen Gampo wanted to win over the Tang Empire.

So he sent an envoy to request a marriage with a princess of the Tang Empire.

Given Li Er's character, he of course refused without hesitation.

——You want our princess to marry in that snowy mountain where there is no one? What the hell are you dreaming of?

But Songtsen Gampo was also a ruthless man. He simply sent troops and defeated Tuyuhun, Xiangdang and Bailang Qiang in the east in one fell swoop, and his army marched straight to Songzhou border of the Tang Empire.

Li Er was furious and sent his brave general Hou Junji to lead a large army to destroy the Tubo army.

As a result, before Hou Junji's army arrived, this old man actually took the initiative to withdraw his troops and withdrew from the three small countries that had just been beaten up.

Tuyuhun, Xiangdang and Bailang Qiang were very angry.

Then Songtsen Gampo sent envoys again to apologize and request a marriage alliance with the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er suddenly felt like he had punched cotton and couldn't even breathe.

In addition, the Jiexian Palace was in chaos at that time, and he really didn't have the extra energy to attack the Tubo lair.

So Li Er had no choice but to discuss with his niece Princess Wencheng and let her marry him to give it a try.

If he was unhappy in Tubo, he would immediately tell the secret guards around him, and he would personally lead the troops to attack Lhasa.

But sometimes, marriages are not all tragedy.

Princess Wencheng was a homely woman with a gentle personality and loved reading poetry and books. Songtsen Gampo also admired Princess Wencheng's talent and did his best to express his love...

The two hit it off immediately and it became a beautiful story.

This also brought decades of peace to the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the two died of illness later, and the new king was ambitious and conspired with the Western Turks to rebel.

To this day, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is somewhat tense.

This is also the fundamental reason why Tibetan merchants are hostile to Tang merchants. Given the national conditions and the tense situation between the two countries, it is naturally impossible for the people to be friendly with each other.

Having said that, those Western Region merchants have reached the point where they can no longer tolerate Jiang Ke'er.

After a month or so, although they carried the most expensive and delicious dry food with them and tried various means to increase their appetite, they still became thinner and thinner.

Compared to when they first set out, they have now lost at least 20 kilograms. They all look pale and severely malnourished, and no longer have the potbellied and greasy look.

Being able to see but not be able to eat is truly one of the greatest tortures in their lives.

But they don't want to endure this torture any longer, they've had enough.

"I didn't expect that idiot's cooking could be so delicious!"

"I heard that she did this in order to marry the Lord God..."

"What a joke! Would the Lord God be interested in such a delicacy from ordinary people?"

"Rather than letting her waste it, why don't we... slurp~"

If you can’t stand it anymore, then rob it!

They once saw Jiang Keer take out the meals she had cooked a few days ago, and the meals looked as fresh as if they had just come out of the pot.

It is obvious that she must have some special preservation method to hide such a large amount of delicious dishes and keep them fresh.

But the others didn't know what method she used or where she hid the things.

Therefore, I have to find an opportunity to coerce her and make her hand it over obediently...

Ahead is the forbidden area of ​​the snowy mountains, which is no less dangerous than the Kunlun Death Valley.

They should have taken the initiative to enter the forbidden area because Ajib had secretly eavesdropped on their conversation.

It is said that there is something hidden in the forbidden area of ​​the snowy mountains, which seems to be related to the memory of that fool.

They must enter the forbidden area and find that thing.

This gave him the opportunity.

If these Tang merchants fall into danger later, we can take the opportunity to force them to surrender.

"The forbidden area of ​​snowy mountains is ahead." Li Niu looked at Jiang Ke'er with some concern.

Jiang Keer raised her head, temporarily stopped what she was doing, and blew on her red, frozen hands.

The National Master once said that he hid two Soul-Brightening Grasses in two different forbidden areas.

One is the Guiwu forbidden land in southern Xinjiang, which he has already obtained.

The other is the forbidden area of ​​snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions.

In the Guiwu Forbidden Land, although he successfully obtained the Minghun Grass, he accidentally released the wall pigeon.

The counterpart to the Wall Dove is naturally the ancient god - Dijiang.

In other words, the great god Dijiang is likely to be sealed in this forbidden area of ​​the snowy mountains.

If he entered the forbidden area to obtain the Minghun Grass in order to restore his memory, it would be very likely that he would release another Dijiang and realize the plan of the national teacher.

Jiang Ke'er fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, I must go in, after all, this is my hope of recovering my memory.

One soul-clearing grass can only trigger memory recovery once. If you want to recover as much memory as possible, you need as many soul-clearing grasses as possible.

That way, as many memory threads as possible can be linked together.

The Imperial Master had obviously calculated this long ago, and knew that he had to enter the forbidden area and release Dijiang according to his plan.

(2/2 This is yesterday's update.)

86. Arrogance

Along the way, we passed Erhai Lake, Cangshan Mountain, Shaowu, Jinsha River, and other mountains.

Now the forbidden area of ​​snowy mountains finally lay before him.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most important reasons for my trip to the Western Regions.

Even though there are countless dangers ahead, Jiang Keer knows that she has more reasons to go in.

"Let's go."

Jiang Keer said.
