When the Qiang man saw Mo Wen coming on foot, he turned his horse's head and rode his horse, and when he got close, he turned over and dismounted, "Gu Kangsang." ” Although Mo Wen couldn't understand the Qiang language, he guessed that this Qiang was greeting him based on the posture of the other party touching his chest with one hand, so he returned the salute, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ” "Hello, Han Chinese."
The Qiang people were about fifty years old, wearing colorful robes, and could speak Chinese, but they were far less fluent than the previous Qiang people's mother-in-law.
Mo Wen smiled and nodded, these Qiang people are simple and treat others very kindly.
The Qiang man pointed his whip at his flock, "This, ten taels of gold."
After referring to the sheep and then to the herd, "these two taels of gold." ” Mo Wen frowned slightly, the other party undoubtedly sold his cattle and sheep to him, but the price was indecent.
Seeing Mo Wen's puzzled face, the Qiang man grinned, turned to the edge of the flock, shook his hand and whipped the horsewhip, and the whip sounded, and a dozen white sheep were frightened and left the flock.
The Qiang man smiled and turned around, raising the whip in his hand, "Ten taels at a time."
Gold. ” Seeing this, Mo Wen suddenly realized, it turned out that the Qiang people did not buy and sell cattle and sheep at a discount, but with a great gamble, and how many cattle and sheep could be shocked with a whip.
Since he wanted to inquire about the news, Mo Wen couldn't wipe his face and didn't benefit from the other party, and after thinking about it, he took out a piece of gold from his burden and held it in his hand, and the Qiang man saw the gold and ran to take the gold in Mo Wen's hand and weighed it slightly, then pointed to the sheep, handed the horsewhip to Mo Wen, and at the same time raised two fingers in his left hand.
Mo Wen waved his hand and didn't take the whip in the other party's hand, and said, "Give it to you, I just want to ask for directions." ” The Qiang man was surprised when he heard this, looked at the gold in his hand, and handed him back the gold, "Ask for directions, don't use gold." ” Mo Wen hesitated for a moment and did not take the piece of gold, but took the whip and whipped it casually, these Qiang people are simple-minded and simple-minded, and they will not accept money for no reason.
Although Mo Wen just shook his hand casually, the whip in his hand made a screeching sound, and the sheep were frightened, and most of them ran to the west side, leaving only a few old and weak people who did not follow because of their inconvenience.
The Qiang man was dumbfounded when he saw this, Mo Wen smiled and threw the horsewhip to him, and waved his hand at him, "I don't want it, I want to ask for directions." ” The Qiang people raised their hands to take the horsewhip, with a helpless look on their faces, took out the gold from their arms, and pulled out the waist knife to divide it, Mo Wen saw this and knew that the other party wanted to return half of the gold and leave the sheep with him, so he hurriedly walked to the Qiang people and waved his hand and said, "Give it to you." ” The Qiang man did not answer, he sharpened the gold with a waist knife, Mo Wen was very helpless to this stubborn Qiang man, so he took the piece of gold and pinched it into two pieces, left one part, and gave the other one to the Qiang people.
"Bau."
When the Qiang man saw Mo Wen cut off the gold with his bare hands, he gave him a thumbs up in admiration.
Mo Wen had no intention of wasting his tongue with him, and his remarks were to the point, "There are monsters in Lake Tajikistan, do you know it?"
Hearing this, the Qiang people nodded, and then waved their hands in panic, "Don't go." ” "Do you know what kind of monster is in the lake," Mo Wen sat on the ground and patted the grass beside him.
Seeing this, the Qiang people sat next to Mo Wen, took out the wine bag they carried and handed it over, "I don't know." ” Mo Wen waved his hand and didn't answer, listening to the words of this Qiang man, although he knew that there were monsters in the lake, he didn't know that the monsters in the lake were snake doctor skinks.
Since he didn't know the details, he couldn't ask any valuable clues.
The Qiang people saw that Mo Wen had no fear on his face, and spoke eagerly to try to stop Mo Wen from going to the lake, but his Chinese was very bad, and he spoke quickly in a hurry, and after listening to Mo Wen for a long time, he only understood a rough idea, the Qiang people here all knew that there were monsters in Tajik Lake, but they had not seen the appearance of monsters, just because they had gone there to graze before, and the livestock were dragged into the lake by the water monsters when they were drinking water by the lake and drowned, similar situations happened a lot, and the Qiang people no longer dared to involve that area.
Mo Wen didn't get any useful clues from this Qiang man's mouth, so he got up and said goodbye to him.
The Qiang people got up and ran into the flock, pulled out a few old sheep and lambs from the flock, handed the leather whip to Mo Wen, and motioned for him to drive the remaining sheep away.
Mo Wen came out to subdue the skink, so naturally he would not get a flock of sheep to drive, so he waved his hand at him and turned around to go.
The Qiang man's face turned red, and he grabbed Mo Wen, and then handed the horsewhip.
Mo Wen had no choice but to dodge and dodge and swept away in the air.
A hundred miles away from the lake, Mo Wen hid his breath and quietly went to the lake, according to the breath, the skink was still dormant in the lake and did not leave.
The last time he came here was in the cold of winter, and the grass around the lake had withered, and at this time there were weeds growing so tall that they were so tall that they could not see the situation in the lake from the outside.
There is no very steep terrain change on the grassland, close to the lake, Mo Wen bent forward, from a mound on the west side of the lake lying down, the herdsmen on the grassland are scattered, it is very difficult to find out the situation, can only wait for observation, see the opportunity to act.
The lake is not large, it is round, only a few tens of zhang in circumference, and the breath of the skink is located on the southern edge, which may be waiting for prey, or it may be out of the water to bask in the sun.
The ordinary skink is only half a foot long, and according to the breath, the body shape of this skink should be too large, but it can be regarded as a behemoth for the genus of skink.
Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, this is the art of war strategy, but also the Taoist movement of the Yin and Yang theory of the concrete embodiment, to observe the enemy situation to have enough patience, when attacking the opponent should be fast and fast.
This was the time of observation, so Mo Wen waited motionless under the mound to observe.
At noon, the temperature rises, the skink completely out of the water, crawling away from the grass on the south side, because the weeds by the lake are very high, so from a distance can only see the shaking of the weeds and can not see the specific appearance of the skink.
The skink inspected the lake, and then returned to the south side of the water and came to a standstill, the skink was four or five feet away from the water when he was on patrol before, and Mo Wen was confident that he would stop it before it jumped into the water, but he did not dare to move, if the skink was frightened, it was very likely that he would abandon his tail, and it would be useless to catch it back at that time.
There was no movement in the afternoon, and the skinks did not wait for their prey, and after nightfall they dived into the waterhole, and from the location of the skink's breath, it could be judged that the lake was not very deep.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the skink reappeared on the south side of the lake, and at noon it left the water as usual to patrol around, this time it left the deep grass area by the lake, Mo Wen was able to see its appearance clearly, this skink was a few points smaller than he perceived, the body length was only about zhangxu, the snake's head was short, the head was big and the tail was long, there were limbs under the body, and the scales and armor on the body were colorful, and the colorful colors indicated that this thing was male, if it was a female, there would be no five colors on the body.
The skink moved very slowly, but Mo Wen didn't dare to catch it, because he couldn't be sure how fast the thing could run after being frightened, and he didn't think of how to stop it from cutting off its tail when it was frightened.
The most recent time when the skink was less than three feet away from Mo Wen's hiding place, Mo Wen forcibly restrained himself and never made a move.
The hardest thing in the world is not to make up your mind to do something you want to do, but to try to restrain yourself from doing what you want to do.
While waiting, Mo Wen has been thinking in his heart how to hold this thing, this thing is lowly, it is not difficult to forcibly catch it, but what I am afraid of is that it will be broken.
It is not possible to seal the earth's qi with a charm, and the skink will also cut off its tail under panic and fear, this thing is not highly intelligent, and its actions are mostly instinctive.
After thinking about it, there is only one feasible way, and that is to make a sudden attack while it is hunting, when its attention is all on the prey, and it can take the opportunity to attack and stun it.
After making up his mind, Mo Wen waited for another two days, there are very few large animals in this grassland, and small animals such as hares can rely on green grass for water at this time, and they don't need to drink water, so the skinks have not waited for prey for several days.
And the skink was not anxious because of this, it is a close relative of the poisonous snake, similar in nature, and does not go hungry for many days at a time.
After waiting for a few days without being able to, Mo Wen quietly retreated, and since he couldn't wait for the opportunity, he could only try to create an opportunity.
After traveling 100 miles to the south, Mo Wen Ba Gao looked around the grassland, there is little shelter on the grassland, after the high can be seen very far, there are five Qiang people grazing in this area, Mo Wen chose to go west, because there are large herds of cattle and horses in addition to the sheep, the Qiang people on the grassland raise more sheep, and there are fewer cattle and horses.

Sure enough, after Mo Wen approached, he found that the grazing was the Qiang man he had met before, and the Qiang man saw that Mo Wen came back, and wanted to give the sheep again, Mo Wen refused to accept the sheep, and told the Qiang people his request, and the Qiang people nodded and agreed, and gave Mo Wen two bags of liquor brewed by Yuanmai and a stallion of the spring black herd.
The reason why I want a horse is because the ox has a very high status in Taoism, and the disciples of the Taoist sect usually do not harm it, and the ox is too slow to walk, and it will take several days to walk to the lake.
When the stallion was in spring, he did not listen to the drive at all, and where there was a mare where they went, Mo asked Hao Sheng to take trouble to pull it out, and brought it to the vicinity of the waterhole, and then let it go, and went back to the lake to wait.
Soon after he hid, the stallion followed the water vapor, and the skink in the lake seemed to sense the approach of his prey, and hurriedly went into the water, hiding under the water and quietly waiting.
The stallion was in the middle of spring, his mind was greatly reduced, and his instincts became very dull, and he did not perceive the danger under the water, and immediately bowed his head and drank at the water's edge.
Seeing that the stallion was in danger, Mo Wen secretly said to the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable in his heart, and at the same time quietly approached forward.
Before the Infinite Heavenly Venerable could finish his recitation, the skink had already jumped out of the water and bit the stallion's neck, while stabbing the horse's belly with a sharp tail hook.
The stallion was suddenly in danger, frightened and frightened, and suddenly a force was born, and he jumped up and carried the skink away from the lake.
After waiting for a few days, Mo Wen finally waited for the opportunity, jumped up, rushed forward, and slapped the head of the skink with the condensation aura of the palm when he got close, the strength of this palm he had scrutinized many times in his heart, if the force was too light, the skink would not faint to death, and it would be possible to cut off the tail at that time.
If the force is too heavy, it is possible to shoot the skink to death.
The force of this palm was just right, and the right palm was slapped, and the skink fainted instantly, and the stallion took the opportunity to break free and escape with blood.
After the skink was stunned, the belly was facing up, and the white scale armor on its abdomen was very similar to the poisonous snake, so he was afraid that he would wake up, so he took out the wine from the Qiang people and poured it into his mouth, this bag of liquor can not only drunk the skink, but also play a role in warming the blood, if there is no wine to warm the body, the skink will be frozen to death when it reaches the mountainside.
After capturing the skink, don't ask about the fishy smell, and immediately carry the skink on his shoulders to lift his breath and return:
