Chu Huan asked: "You are proficient in the Central Plains dialect, could it be that it is also handed down by your predecessors?" ”

"Although Lotus City is mainly in the language of the Western Regions, there are not a few people who are good at Central Plains." Luo Duo said: "In the territory of the Buddha's country, there are many sinology schools, I said before, don't say that the current Buddha's country, which is the former Gamo Kingdom, is also very open-minded and tolerant, allowing all kinds of customs to pass. The language of the Western Regions is divided into more than a dozen branches, all of which can be heard in the territory of the Gamo Kingdom, and the Central Plains dialect is only one of them. At the beginning, there were many nobles from the Central Plains in the Gamo Kingdom, and they passed on the writing and language of the Central Plains in the Gamo Kingdom. ”

"I see." Chu Huan suddenly realized.

The four heavenly kings he saw and even the previous dragon kings and ghost masters all spoke the Central Plains dialect, and most of the outlines of these people were similar to the Central Plains people, especially the Piliu Bocha, whose appearance was no different from the Central Plains people, that is, Liuli, although he was born with a pair of blue eyes, in addition, his appearance was the appearance of the Central Plains people.

Although Luo Duo's appearance is thick and tall, his skeleton is extremely wide, his beard is like a needle, and his appearance is quite special, but this shape is not uncommon in the Central Plains, and coupled with his fluent Central Plains dialect, it is naturally difficult for people to identify that they are from the Western Regions.

A few people were talking to themselves, and suddenly saw Luo Duo's face tightened, and he turned his head to look west, Chu Huan saw this, knew that something was happening, and calmed down, his current five senses were superhuman, and he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the west.

The sound of horses' hooves is very fast, just come on, Luo Duo has already stood up, and soon, he saw a group of figures on the edge of the lake, all riding on horseback, they have naturally found the bonfire here, more than a dozen horses have been fan-shaped, like an open fishing net, Chu Huan's eyes are like electricity, and he can see clearly, these dozen or so horses are wearing armor, holding scimitars, wearing round helmets, the top of the helmet seems to be inserted with feathers, between gallops, the feathers on the top of the helmet flutter in the wind.

I only heard that someone in it had already said a few words, and seeing that there was no reaction here, the cavalry approached with a knife, but this time someone asked loudly in Central Plains: "Who are you?" Why here? ”

Chu Huan looked at Luo Duo, saw that Luo Duo looked relaxed, and had already said a few words loudly over there, and the cavalry looked at each other, but Wu Zi did not relax his guard, one of them urged the horse to come forward, but Luo Duo had already taken out a piece of black jade from his arms and showed it to the other party, Chu Huan saw it from the side, only to see that the black jade was quite similar to the black jade of the King of Mohu Luojia that he had seen at the beginning, and immediately knew that this piece of black jade was a proof of the identity of the king of heaven.

Sure enough, immediately the knight saw Moyu, quickly rolled off the horse's back, withdrew the knife, folded his hands, bent down at Rhodo, and said respectfully: "Disciple to meet the Heavenly King!" ”

Seeing this, the horsemen behind him also quickly dismounted, just like the knight, they also quickly put away their swords, saluted, and said in unison: "Disciple to meet the Heavenly King!" ”

Rhodo stepped forward and whispered a few words to the knight at the head, and then saw that the knight had left a few horses, and then led the cavalry to mount one after another, and in a blink of an eye they were gone.

Chu Huan had already understood, and asked, "Big brother, are these all soldiers of Lotus City?" ”

Luo Duo said: "Although Lotus City has been rebuilt, but no one has forgotten the lesson of more than 20 years ago, it is only ten miles west from here, there is a sentry, and every ten miles thereafter, all the way to Lotus City, there are sentry patrols, and these cavalry are rangers patrolling this area. When we walked out of the desert to Lotus City, we did not set up sentry posts on the way, except for the occasional small number of rangers patrolling, and the purpose was only to see if anyone was in trouble here. His expression became solemn, and he said: "Before that massacre, Lotus City was very tolerant and enthusiastic to outsiders, and they did their best to entertain guests from afar and give the greatest help, but since that massacre, now the people of Lotus City are full of wariness of outsiders, and they have to go out of the desert to Lotus City from here, and they are discovered by the rangers along the way, but they have to undergo strict inspection. ”

Chu Huan's expression was also slightly gloomy.

Early the next morning, several people continued to march towards Lotus City, because there were horses left, so there was no need to continue on foot.

Along the way, as Luo Duo said, every other section of the way, there would be rangers from Lotus City from time to time, but Luo Duo and the others had Moyu in hand to prove their identity, so naturally no one dared to stop them.

In the Buddha's country, the eight tribes are the supreme existence except for the holy king and the Buddha's mother, and in the hearts of the people of the Buddha's country, the eight tribes are the protectors of the Buddha's country.

Although the Eight Divisions are prestigious, there are naturally only a handful of people who can see the Eight Divisions, and even these soldiers along the way, few of them have seen the true face of the Eight Divisions, but fortunately, these soldiers know the Moyu Order, and the road is naturally unimpeded.

At noon on this day, it is only half a day's journey from Lotus City, and you can arrive at Lotus City early the next morning at the latest.

Chu Huan rode on the horse, and saw a rammed earth tower in front of him from a distance, and near the earth tower there were two houses made of rammed earth and hay, surrounded by a one-person high earthen walled courtyard, knowing that this was another sentry.

According to the situation that he had just encountered before, before he could get close to the past, a cavalry should come up to inquire about it, and there must be a sentry on top of the earthen tower to watch from a high position.

But at this moment, there were no sentries on the earthen tower, and there was no cavalry to greet them, Luo Duo frowned slightly, Chu Huan also felt a little strange, everyone at least arrived outside the courtyard, only to see a soldier with a knife to meet him, and shouted: "Who are you?" His expression was full of vigilance, and the scimitar in his hand was already out of the sheath, and as soon as he shouted, Chu Huan saw four or five people rushing out of the earthen house in the courtyard, all of them with scimitars in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, Luo Duo had already shown his black jade, and when the soldiers saw it, they immediately put away their swords, saluted Luo Duo one after another, and said in unison: "Meet the Heavenly King!" ”

"The king asks you, why are there no soldiers on the tower?" Rodo frowned and said, "Why is no one outside on guard, what are they all hiding in the house?" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and one of them had already said: "Report to the Heavenly King, there is an invasion of foreign enemies, and we are about to send someone to Lotus City to report it!" ”

"Foreign enemies?"

The soldier raised his hand and said, "Heavenly King, please come into the house and check." ”

Luo Duo was even more puzzled, turned over and dismounted, Chu Huan and the others also dismounted, went straight to the earthen house, arrived at the door of the house, glanced inside, and saw that on the earthen kang in the house, there were actually three soldiers lying on the ground, all of them motionless.

"What's going on?" Rodo's face sank.

At this time, Liuli had already entered the house, probed the carotid arteries of the soldiers, and then checked the eyeballs of several soldiers.

"They went out on patrol yesterday afternoon and didn't come back until midnight, and we were worried that something had happened, so we sent someone out to look for them, and found the three of them in the north." A soldier on the side said: "Their horses are gone, lying on the ground, they are no longer awake, after we brought them back, they have not woken up until now, but they are still breathing." ”

Liuli had already turned around and said, "They are all poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned?" Luo Duo was stunned for a moment, and Liuli explained: "If I didn't make a mistake in judgment, they should have been bitten by poisonous insects, and the poison entered the body, and it was difficult to relieve it for a while." ”

Chu Huan approached and asked, "So, aren't they injured by someone?" ”

Liuli shook her head and said, "The poisonous insects that eat them are not ordinary poisonous insects. Pointing to the neck of a soldier, he said, "Take a closer look here." ”

Chu Huan took a closer look, and faintly found that there were several needle-sized holes on the soldier's neck, which were slightly red, and it was difficult to detect if he didn't look closely.

"As far as I know, there are no such poisonous insects here." Ruri stared at the soldier's neck, "And if I'm not mistaken, the poison carried by this poisonous insect is not naturally generated, but artificially cultivated. ”

"Artificial?" Chu Huan was stunned, raised his hand and touched his chin, "Xuanyuan Shao and Xuanzhen Dao Sect don't seem to have such skills, even if they are cold and laughing, they are only afraid!" ”

"It won't be them." Liuli shook his head and said, "If it were them, these three people would have no reason to live." Although the opponent used poisonous insects to bite the three of them, he didn't seem to want to kill them. ”

On the side, Rodo frowned and said, "Then why would the opponent attack them?" ”

"It is likely that the three of them discovered the abnormality and wanted to stop the opponent, who wanted to get out, but did not want to make a life-and-death feud, so they used poisonous insects to make them fall into a coma." Liuli looked at Viliubo Fork and said: "Viliubo Fork, you are the best at removing this poison, who you have met, as long as you solve their poison and let them wake up, you should be able to ask for clarification." ”

Piliu Bocha bowed slightly, Liuli took the lead out of the house, Luo Duo and Chu Huan also followed out of the door, arrived in the courtyard, looked at each other, Chu Huan frowned and said: "So, in addition to Xuanyuan Shao's group, there are other people who have also come to Lotus City?" Puzzled for a moment, "Which way is that sacred?" ”

Liuli said: "It's useless to guess now, when they wake up, they should be able to ask." Since the opponent did not make a dead move, he obviously did not want to form a grudge against our Great Heart Sect, and it was difficult to say whether they were opponents or not. ”

In fact, the people did not wait long, and in less than half an hour, Virubocha came out and instructed one of the soldiers: "Feed the three of them water, not too much, and each of them will have a glass of water immediately." ”

The soldier hurriedly took the water, went in and fed each of them a glass of water, and soon heard a continuous coughing sound coming from the house, and Virubocha said, "I'm awake!" ”

Chu Huan was full of admiration and said with a smile: "The master is really a good means. ”

Viliubo said: "Although it is poisoned, it is only a coma, if the poor monk does not detoxify, another day, they will be able to wake up safely, and the opponent is not ready to kill him." ”

Luo Duo had already stepped into the house at this time, and the soldiers withdrew from the house one after another, Luo Duo walked to the side of a soldier and flashed the black jade token, and the soldier hurriedly got up and said, "See the Heavenly King!" ”

"This king asks you, what has happened to you, and why have you been poisoned?"

The man was stunned, obviously not knowing that he had been poisoned, but quickly said: "Yesterday we were out on patrol, and in the night, we saw a group of sneaky people, so we came forward to interrogate, but those people did not answer, and we were about to take them back to the sentry, when we suddenly felt something scurrying around on our bodies, and then immediately the neck was like a needle prick, and soon we were dizzy, fell off our horses, and were dazed, and could not move our whole body. ”

"You have been bitten by poisonous insects and have been poisoned." Rodo said in a deep voice: "So, you don't know who your opponent is? ”

"They were all wrapped in turbans and black cloaks, and it was hard to see in the dark." The man recalled: "There were about a dozen of them, and several groups of camels and horses, yes, when I fell to the ground in a daze, I felt someone walk up to me, I heard the sound of a knife drawn, the man seemed to want to kill me, but I heard a voice scream, I couldn't understand what it said, it was not the Western Regions, nor the Central Plains, but I could hear it clearly, it was a woman's voice!" ”
