Chapter 269: Don't forget your duty


At dawn, Mo asked to Minzhou, found a horse station to split the gold into silver and copper money, the exchange of money is only secondary, the main purpose is to let them go to Shangqingguan to send a letter, because Shangqingguan is located in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, so the cost of sending a letter is very high, Mo Wen paid ten taels of silver and sent a short message, so that the fifth person rushed to the largest inn in Huai'an, Jin State before the fifteenth day of the first month to wait for him.

Due to the season, the old five can not accompany the whole process, but the temperature in some areas in the south is relatively high, and the old five can fly.

However, due to the scattered distribution of confinement, it is impossible to completely distinguish between the north and the south and search the south first, otherwise it will take more time to search for the remaining northern areas, so the fifth can only wait somewhere.

He needs to look for three round-trips from north to south, and the fifth has to wait for the pick-up three times in the middle, Huai'an is the first place, and there is still a month before the fifteenth day of the first month.

Leaving Minzhou, Mo Wen changed his route to the north, he wanted to go to the Dead Wood Ridge in Goguryeo, but on the way to the Dead Wood Ridge, he had to search for two confinements, these two confinements were not on the way, and the first Wind Valley needed to detour more than 2,000 miles.

The Taoist acted calmly and restrained, even if he had a stunt, he would not easily show it, but Mo Wen did not follow this point at this time, and did not bypass the city to avoid people's eyes and ears when he was in a hurry, and there were many cities and counties in the area he passed, regardless of whether there were pedestrians or not, they all flew in the air, and the time of three months was barely enough, and there could be no waste and delay.

In the afternoon, near the northern border of Zhao State, Mo Wen temporarily stopped and bought a few pairs of shoes, and the volley needs to be borrowed from the ground, and the wear and tear of the shoes is very serious and needs to be replaced from time to time.

At this time, not only Zhao, Jin, Yan, Dai, Liang these countries, there are many small countries in the north, although these small countries do not have the heart to invade the territory, but from time to time go south to rob women's property and grain, cattle and sheep, so the north of Zhao is stationed with heavy troops, Shen Shi is not enough, Mo Wen passed through the garrison city, climbed over the city wall to leave Zhao, and entered the snow-covered grassland outside the Guanwai.

The thick snow covering the ground has added obstacles to Mo Wen, and I don't know the road conditions under the snow is one of them, and the most important thing is that I often slip from the snow on the ground.

Stumbling through the evening, a north wind blew and snow fell, and the surroundings were so white that it was almost impossible to discern the direction.

Mo Wen slowed down and wanted to find a place to avoid the snow, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find it, there were no peaks and hills here, almost all of them were flat.

Even the slightly higher shelters were covered by heavy snow.

After traveling a hundred miles in the snow, Mo Wen noticed a strange breath, this strange breath was very hazy, and there must be no way.

Sensing the alien atmosphere, Mo Wen was very happy, the alien has a natural instinct, and can always find a place to avoid the snow when the snow comes.

Following the breath to find out Baili, Mo Wen saw the alien, it was the yellow rabbit hiding in the soil cave, seeing his arrival was very anxious but there was nowhere to escape, the earth hole where the yellow rabbit was hiding was very narrow, and the nest could not be placed, fortunately, the earth cave was located on the sunny side of a mound, and this mound was two feet from the ground, barely able to avoid the snow.

Mo Wen sat down from the south side of the mound and wheezed for a while, washed his hands and face with snow water, took out dry food to eat, and threw a piece to the yellow rabbit, the yellow rabbit naturally did not dare to eat, and Mo Wen did not let it eat, but just showed a kind attitude, lest it always pee and make it angry.

Although the snow blocked the way, he was not annoyed and anxious, and swept all day, even if it was not snowing, he had to stop and rest.

After eating the dry food, Mo Wen sorted out the things he carried on his body one by one, in addition to the silver money and miscellaneous items, he also had a qi tonifying pill, a few antidote pills and a healing pill, the talisman box and the law seal were naturally carried with him, and then there was the black knife on his waist and the alchemy Xiaoding.

After inspecting the debris, Mo Wen took out the talisman box and wiped it carefully, this was his only reliance, and it was also Ah Jiu's last hope, the golden talisman could displace the mountains and rivers, and the rivers could be diverted, presumably breaking the confinement.

After meditating in the snow for two hours, the aura recovered, and the snow on Mo Wenzhenfei's body continued on the road, but the heavy snow had not stopped at this time, but fortunately, the wind had stopped.

At dawn, Mo Wen found a camp in a sheltered place, there were many tents and war horses in the camp, and according to the time spent on the road, it was estimated that it was not far from the Valley of the Wind at this time, and it was necessary to determine the current location.

The scale of this camp is not large, according to the number of tents, it is estimated that there should be one or two hundred soldiers here, this is an area that all countries are under the control of, it is still snowing, there is no one outside the tent, and it is not known which country's soldiers are gathered here.

After a short hesitation, Mo Wen dodged to the door of the largest tent and opened the curtain to enter, a bloody breath rushed towards him, and a mutilated female corpse was hanging in the tent under a closer look, with a large amount of skin and flesh missing from the legs, thighs, chests and ribs, and several braziers not far from the female corpse, and charcoal with residual warmth in them, and salt and wine bags were placed around the brazier.

A naked man was lying on a futon made of cow and sheepskin and wool, and not far away was tied a short woman, who was about 20 years old and had no clothes on her, and her figure and hairstyle were Han women.

The woman was in a coma, and was awakened by the cool air that followed Mo Wen into it, and when she opened her eyes and saw Mo Wen, Mo Wen raised the index finger of her right hand and shook it, signaling her not to speak, the woman saw it and nodded again and again.

Mo Wen walked towards the naked man, and when he got close, he got up and kicked him in the dead hole behind him.

"Who are you and who are they?"

Mo asked, drawing his knife and cutting the rope that bound the woman.

"Thank you master for saving your life, the little woman is from Zhao Guo, they are the robbers of this desert north."

The woman covered her breasts with men's clothes.

"How many others have been captured with you," Mo asked.

"At first, there were more than 100 people, but now I am afraid that even half of them are gone, and they have all eaten them."

The woman covered her mouth to avoid crying.

Mo Wen didn't ask again, he had been commanding the troops in the barracks for the past few years, and the news was very closed, in fact, the cannibalism had never stopped, but he hadn't seen it.

"Ask the master to save me."

The woman knelt and kowtowed.

"Do I look like a monk" Mo asked the woman with a glance and lifted the knife out of the tent, and after a stick of incense, she returned with a knife, with a dozen silent women behind her.

"The thieves have been killed, I have important things to do, I can only help you, you pack up your clothes and dry food and go back to your hometown by yourself."

Mo Wen cut the rope and let the woman's corpse come down, pulling the futon to cover it.

"Thank you heroes for the rescue."

The crowd fell to their knees again.

"Pack up and go, I'm going to leave too."

Mo Wen said to everyone.

He had already asked the robber where the Wind Valley was, and the heavy snow had caused him to deviate from the route, and the Wind Valley was six hundred miles to the northeast.

"They have been without food for many days."

One of the women in yellow cowardly spoke.

"We don't know the way back home."

Another woman said.

Mo Wen frowned slightly when he heard this, he only saved these women out of the morality of a Taoist, and it was impossible to send them back again, because it would take a lot of time.

After pondering for a long time, Mo Wen turned around and walked out of the tent, came to the place where the horses were tied and searched for it, and pulled out two horses that had been bullied by their own kind, these two horses did not have iron palms, and they must have been snatched in recent times.

"Have you seen these two horses?"

Mo asked the crowd.

"That flower horse belongs to the Tofu Workshop."

One of the years said.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken," Mo asked.

"That's right, it's fierce and kicks."

The young woman said.

Mo Wen nodded when he heard this, took a number of horse reins and tied them to the saddle, "Follow it after the snow stops, if it wants to run, you can pull it together." ” The rescued woman took the rope and nodded repeatedly.

Mo Wen shook his shoulders and unloaded his burden, and gave the dry food to one of the year-old women, "Save some food, I can only help you with this." ” The women knelt down again and thanked him.

"Put all the horses away when you leave, don't let them get trapped here."

Mo Wen gave an explanation to everyone, raised his breath and swept towards the northeast.

Although Ah Jiu was banned, Mo Wen did not anger others, he didn't even resent Tianmen Daoist and Caiyi Daoist, because he and Ah Jiu did violate the canons, no wonder others, as long as he did his best, he still couldn't forget the duty of the Taoist to help the world and save the suffering, the only thing that dissatisfied him was that the Shangqing Sect rejected his request to make up for his merits, and did not give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

The heavy snow gradually stopped, the sun rose, the snow reflected the sunlight very dazzling, and after four hours of difficulty, Mo Wen finally saw the Valley of the Wind, which is located between two peaks connected to the east and west, about two feet below the ground, for the inverted terrain, somewhat similar to the barrel that melted the bronze dome before, the cold wind blew from the north, gathered through the bell mouth and became extremely cold, standing at the bottom and almost not opening his eyes.

This valley is more than ten zhang wide, two miles long, in the shape of a long strip, because the wind is too strong, there is no snow around the valley, and there are many animal bones left at the bottom of the valley, these bones must have appeared in their original form after the death of those alien sects.

Because the trapped are all women, there are many women's ornaments left at the bottom of the valley, mostly gold and jade, Taoists believe that gold and jade have a rich atmosphere, so although Taoists do not advocate wearing jewelry, but it is not forbidden to wear gold and jade.

Although this valley is hidden in the depths of the grassland, it is not inaccessible, and the fact that these golden jades have not been picked up shows that there is an invisible barrier here.

Extend the aura and try it, sure enough, the aura felt the obstacle when it reached the top of the valley, and the obstacle was very hard and inflexible, indicating that the confinement here was caused by the formation.

Around the confinement for a week, Mo Wen found that there were many artificially dug pits around the confinement, most of these pits were very shallow, if the people in the Dao Gate did it, it would be impossible to dig only such shallow pits, so it can be inferred that the diggers of these pits are ordinary people who are trying to get gold and jade, in other words, after these female aliens were trapped here, their lovers did not come to the rescue, not knowing where they were trapped is only one of the reasons, the main reason may be that they dare not disobey the will of heaven.

After stopping for a moment, Mo Wen sighed and left, he didn't know what these female aliens thought before they died, and he didn't know if they regretted it, but he felt that these aliens wanted their lovers to be by their side before they died.

Due to the different confinements, Mo Wen did not study the principle of the starting formation of this confinement, quickly went to the southeast, ascetic all night, and finally saw a city at noon the next day, this city is not small, located at the junction of the four countries, and Xiyang County, is a very prosperous border trading city.

The dry food was given to the women who had been arrested, and it had to be replenished, so Mo Wen went into the city to find a food shop and wanted to buy dry food, but there was more meat here, and rice crackers and dough cakes needed to be made freshly, so he could only wait for a while.

The restaurant was very noisy, Mo asked Xijing, so he went out of the shop to wait, and just went out, he collided with a passer-by who was passing by.

Mo Wen had already turned sideways to avoid before, and this person was deliberately bumped into.

Suspicious in his heart, he immediately checked the things he was carrying, and found that the cloth bag with Xiao Ding hanging on his waist was missing, at this time the person had not gone far, Mo Wen dodged and caught up with him and blocked his way, "It's useless if you want that thing, give it back to me":
