Hu Xiuwu took out the Legalist mirror from the ghost tomb. He hadn't used this thing for a long time and almost forgot that he still had a magical tool in his hand that could exorcise evil spirits.
The Legalist mirror could be placed in King Xian's tomb, so it is not a simple magic weapon. Unfortunately, it has never been used in Hu Xiuwu's hands.
Originally, Hu Xiuwu wanted to give it to Hu Bayi, but Hu Bayi was restricted from appearing near the ancient tomb, so later it could only be left in the ghost tomb to gather dust.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Hu Xiuwu felt that he looked a bit like Hu Bayi, whom he saw one morning coming out of Sister Xueli Yang's room with his hands on his waist.
Hu Xiuwu put away the bronze mirror, squinted his eyes, and leaned against the earth wall, looking a little depressed.
Only when the energy is full can the spirit be full. Now that his vitality is seriously damaged, of course he is in low spirits. Hu Xiuwu looked at Chen Duo weakly and said:
"what happened?"
Chen Duo pointed at Zhe Gui and said, "This sword has been vibrating just now."
It is unknown when Zhegui slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. The sword was slightly unsheathed, and the sword kept ringing. Ah Man also stood on Zhegui and danced with joy.
In other words, it was Chen Duo who took action and awakened Hu Xiuwu, otherwise A Man would have kicked him too.
Hu Xiuwu's mind was now as confused as a mess, as if he had not slept all night. His six senses seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze and were not as sensitive as before, so he did not notice anything wrong at the first time.
"It was Ah Man who was giving the warning. A large group of aliens surrounded us."
Supporting himself with the medal, Hu Xiuwu climbed up from the ground. He had never felt so weak before and was still a little uncomfortable, but he did not feel any fear in his heart.
No matter who it is, knowing that there is a strange person who has inherited the Tang Sect's strongest skills by his side, no one will worry about such a small matter as someone attacking.
Using Zhegui to push the hay above his head, Hu Xiuwu jumped out of the cellar with Chen Duo. The light on the snowy field was much more dazzling than that in the old city, and Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
On a hill in the distance, a white wolf was watching them with its green eyes.
A white wolf actually gave Hu Xiuwu the feeling of a sentinel. Could it be an elf with Qi?
Chen Duo followed Hu Xiuwu's gaze and also spotted the white wolf and Hu Xiuwu and said:
"That's the demon servant of the Samsara Sect."
Hu Xiuwu asked suspiciously, "Demon servant?"
Chen Duo nodded. "It is recorded in the long poem that Uncle Liao got from the Tibetan poet who was bestowed with divine power that the priests of the Samsara Sect can control the white wolves on the snowfield as servants. Moreover, the Samsara Sect has strengthened the spirituality of these white wolves with secret methods. Some of the gifted ones can even obtain Qi and become white wolf kings." "These white wolves are called demon servants by Guru Padmasambhava."
Hu Xiuwu suddenly realized, "It turns out that the people from the Samsara Sect have caught up with us."
They figured out who the invading enemy was, but Hu Xiuwu did not ask Chen Duo to leave. The white wolf was staring at them from a distance. With Hu Xiuwu's current body, he could not outrun the alien.
Besides, Hu Xiuwu looked at Chen Duo's delicate little face:
They are the ones who should run.
……
Shan Zeng rode on a steed, led a pack of wolves and guards, and rushed past like a strong wind. Under the guidance of the demon servant, he found Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.
The wolves surrounded Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo just like they did when hunting. The strange men from the Samsara Sect rode on their horses, holding knives, and built a blockade outside the wolf pack.
Shan Zeng was surrounded by guards in the crowd, looking at the young faces of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo in surprise, although he had heard from people who had survived Hu Xiuwu's hands before that the two people mentioned in the snake god's oracle were very young.
But he didn't expect that these two people looked less than twenty years old. Such young people could escape from the Eluohai City surrounded by so many strange people and even strike out such an amazing sword.
What a gifted genius!
He was first surprised at Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo's youth and talent, and then Shan Zeng discovered something strange about them: the clothes these two people wore did not distinguish between left and right lapels.
Since ancient times, Chinese formal clothes have all had right-side lapels, and only the barbarians did not know etiquette and wore left-side lapels. However, the clothes they wore were neither left nor right, as if they were opened in the middle.
For a moment, Shan Zeng was unable to guess their origins. Then he remembered that one of the believers in a private house in the Eluohai City he had found before did not die by the sword, but by a poison.
Shan Zeng guessed: Could they be the barbarians from Wuling and Nanjun?
Shan Zeng spoke a long passage in Tibetan to Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, but unfortunately neither Hu Xiuwu nor Chen Duo could understand him.
Hu Xiuwu sighed, "I was thinking of getting some clues from them, but I forgot that we can't understand them. Forget it, let's just solve it."
"it is good."
Chen Duo looked around at the evil wolves and the aliens with snake-like eyes with a calm expression, not taking them seriously at all.
"Be careful, your internal organs are still fragile."
Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo decided the lives of dozens of strange people in a casual manner, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
Ink beads appeared around Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu, and thick ink marks also appeared on Chen Duo's hands.
She waved her white hand and Dan Shi followed.
Chen Duo used his hand as a pen, Dan Shi as ink, and the snowfield as paper to paint a picture of hell.
······
The battle ended quickly without any suspense. After only one round of fighting, all members of the Samsara Sect returned to the arms of their Snake God, even the single priest was no exception.
The people from the Samsara Sect had obviously never seen Dan Shi. Although Shan Zeng had cautiously ordered his demon servant to test the black flowers before, he still underestimated the power of Dan Shi.
Besides the fact that there is no cure for Dan Shi and the death is extremely painful, its biggest characteristic is that it can penetrate any pore.
Even Zhang Huaiyi's golden light spell could not stop Dan Shi. What kind of person is Zhang Huaiyi? He can bring peace to Tianjin and destroy all the evil forces in Tianjin's world of extraordinary people with his own strength.
As a result, the Tianxiahui was able to rise in Tianjin, and it was out of control, directly sending Feng Zhenghao to join the Ten Lords Association; forcing the three talents of the Huangmen and the four families to merge into one. He alone changed the situation in the northern alien world. If it weren't for the well-informed Xu Xiang who concealed his news, he would have been famous all over the world long ago.
The only shortcoming of Dan Shi is that it cannot leave the cultivator more than ten steps away.
This is mainly because its shooting speed is as slow as bubbles. Another point is that Dan Shi is highly volatile. Once it leaves the human body and is no longer wrapped by the Qi membrane, it will quickly disappear, so it can only be used as a close-range means.
But unfortunately, Dan Zeng and his men thought they had a large number of people and the support of a pack of wolves, so they got too close to Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu.
Ever since they came within ten feet of Chen Duo, their lives were in Chen Duo's hands.
After the battle, Chen Duo calmly sat down on the bleak autumn-like grassland filled with hideous corpses, meditating and refining the elixir.
The amount of Danshi poison that a person can store in his Dantian is limited. Danshi is an explosive close-range assassination move, not a long-lasting move. After all, as long as the Tang Sect assassin who has practiced the authentic colorless and formless Danshi can get within ten meters of the person being assassinated, the mission can be considered over.
While Chen Duo was meditating, Hu Xiuwu, leaning on his sword and looking as calm as ever, was searching the people from the Samsara Sect for items.
Apart from the gold and silver ornaments they were wearing, they had no other special things. Even Hu Xiuwu didn't find any magic weapons on them.
After searching thoroughly, Hu Xiuwu felt that only the dried meat and water in the saddle bags on these people's horses were of some use.
Hu Xiuwu was not sure where they were for the time being. The area around here was vast and sparsely populated, so they needed some supplies. Hu Xiuwu put all the sundries into the ghost tomb, including some amulet ornaments with Tibetan writing on them.
He only found some scriptures on Shan Zeng that he couldn't understand, so he put them all in the ghost tomb and waited until he returned to the modern era to see if there was any way to decipher them.
"what."
At the bottom of a saddle bag, Hu Xiuwu unexpectedly found a few copper coins.
These copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside, but they have no inner or outer edges, which is somewhat different from the copper coins you usually see on TV. There are two words engraved in official script on the surface of the coins:
Half, two.
Hu Xiuwu was speechless and asked, "Is this a Han Ban Liang?"
Chapter 110 Han Wu
There are two types of Han Banliang in history. One is the eight-zhu coin minted by Empress Lü to stabilize prices, and the other is the four-zhu half-liang coin minted by Emperor Wen.
Hu Xiuwu placed the copper coin in the palm of his hand and weighed it. He felt that the coin in his hand was relatively light. It should be the four-zhu half-liang coin minted by Emperor Wen. There is also another indirect evidence proving that this is the four-zhu coin minted by Emperor Wen of Han, and that is the coin text on it.
The inscriptions on the eight-zhu coins during the reign of Empress Lü are more like Qin seal characters, while the inscriptions on the four-zhu coins during the reign of Emperor Wen have some of the characteristics of Han official script.
Hu Xiuwu had already been given a good foundation in calligraphy by Wu Dechang when he was in Maoshan. If he had not gone wrong in practicing the Huangting Sutra, he should now be learning how to make talismans in Maoshan like Atong, and become a Shangqing talisman master in the future.
In autumn and winter, when the Huns could no longer roam, they would take up arms, ride on their horses, and come to the border cities of the Central Plains to seek prey. Some "smart people" would do business with the Huns after they had killed and looted them.
They sold them salt, cloth and other necessities that were not available on the snowfields at high prices in exchange for their copper coins, and the Huns were happy to exchange these useless copper coins for practical supplies.
This is a free way to make money by buying cattle, sheep and furs.
Most of these scattered copper coins were spoils of war that the Samsara Sect had robbed from a tribe on the snowy plains. The copper coins had a thin layer of patina on the surface, and it looked like they had been through many hands, not like antiques.
Deng!
Hu Xiuwu threw the copper coin into the air with his thumb. The four-zhu coin rolled in the air, reflecting the light of the sky, and there seemed to be a secret hidden inside.
The four-zhu coin fell silently on the ground, and then several copper coins slipped from Hu Xiuwu's hand, forming a set of hexagrams together with the previous copper coins.
Revealed the current time to Hu Xiuwu,
The Year of the Tiger
Sixty years completes a cycle. With the clue of the year of Renyin and these four-zhu.half-liang coins, Hu Xiuwu can already calculate the approximate time period in which he and Chen Duo are living.
In the second year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.
The ghost tomb unexpectedly sent them so far away that before seeing the four-zhu-half-liang coin, Hu Xiuwu thought they had returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Now that he knew the time he was in, Hu Xiuwu had a rough idea of what time it was. The most important thing left was to leave the snowfield as soon as possible and escape from the pursuit of the Samsara Sect.
Hu Xiuwu knew very well that he and his elder brother could not be divined by a sorcerer. Mr. Hui Erye had speculated that he could not be divined by a sorcerer because he had a heavy fate, practiced the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts and the Huangting Sutra, and met Master Zhang Huaiyi, who was involved in the secret of the Jiashen Rebellion, so it was difficult for him to be divined by others.
As for Hu Bayi, it was simply because he was contaminated by the aura of the Ghost Cave when he was in the Ghost Cave, and even Master Hui Erye could not tell the fortune of the two brothers.
Now he and Chen Duo have both faced the Snake God head-on. Although they have not seen His true face, they have been tainted with His aura, and are almost the same as Hu Bayi.
Therefore, Dan Zeng, the priest of the Samsara Sect, could only use a pack of wolves to search for the whereabouts of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.
As long as they leave the snowfield and get out of the influence of the Samsara Sect, it will be difficult for them to find Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo. After settling down, Hu Xiuwu will study carefully how to return to the modern era.
After clearing out all the belongings from these people, Hu Xiuwu sat next to Chen Duo, checking the resources in his hands while thinking about the next plan.
Until Chen Duo opened his eyes again.
Hu Xiuwu said to Chen Duo: "How do you feel now? Is there anything wrong with your internal organs?"
Chen Duo nodded first, then shook her head.
Hu Xiuwu said to Chen Duo, "Let's leave here first and head towards the Central Plains, so as not to be caught up by the people from the Samsara Sect."
Although it is not clear where they are now, he can always see the huge Kunlun Mountain behind him.
Taking Kunlun Mountain as the origin and heading eastward in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, sooner or later you will reach the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Duo said simply: "Okay."
When she stood up and wanted to follow Hu Xiuwu, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the thick isolation suit in her hand, paused, and then asked Hu Xiuwu:
"Can I take off my clothes?"
