Two days later, the horse-selling team set out on time. Zhang Fei borrowed over five thousand horses, and in the Zhuozhou City, he bought all of the long spears, bows and arrows, horse tripping rope, horse tripping stake, iron clips and other equipment. As for Zhang Shiping, he also bought the necessary cloths, while he bought the necessary daily necessities.

The caravan headed towards the desert in a grandiose manner, causing the passersby to turn back time and time again. Everyone muttered in their hearts, "Is the imperial government going to war with the Hu again?" All of a sudden, the people along the way were all talking about it. Some of them were even more cowardly and ready to run away.

Just as everyone was happily heading towards the desert, Zhang Shiping had a face full of gloom. He suddenly became depressed and depressed. Even Su Shuang noticed that something was wrong. He asked him repeatedly, but no matter what, Su Shuang just smiled and said repeatedly that nothing was wrong.

But the more he said that it was fine, the more Yang Lin felt worried. Although Yang Lin knew that Zhang Shiping was a good person, but no one could guarantee that a good person would also do something wrong. If that was the case, then it would be troublesome. At that time, if Hu Ren said that the cloth was not good, wouldn't he have come here for nothing?

When the group was about to leave, Zhang Shiping invited for Yang Lin a bodyguard Tang Qing, and handed him over to Yang Lin, who then left. The bodyguard Tang Qing seemed to be around thirty years old. He was tall, thin, and his skinny face was covered with vicissitudes of life. Yang Lin just couldn't understand, other than the fact that this bodyguard was smart, he couldn't see any other martial arts behind him. Since Zhang Shiping had kindly gifted it to him, Yang Lin did not reject.

In two days, all of the five thousand horses that Zhang Fei had borrowed were present. The current troop could be said to be fully armed. Each of them had a horse, and they were equipped with a long spear, a big sword, and a bow. He had also bought a full set of equipment, and had even prepared quite a few ropes and stakes to trifle against the mounted bandit. Yang Lin was puzzled. Was he going to do business or fight?

After leaving the Chi County, it would be the Upper Valley County of the Youzhou. This was also the northernmost county, with a circumference of more than one thousand li. It only had five ten thousand people s, and the real human population was sparse. A large amount of land was idle, even if another five million people moved in, they would still not be able to reclaim all of the land in the Upper Valley County.

Walking out of Upper Valley County, they arrived at the desert in the northern part of Youzhou. At this moment, it was still under the Urushion's jurisdiction. The Urushion was originally a branch of the Eastern Hu Tribe, and was also one of the Eastern Hu Tribe along with the Qing Pu Tribe. The various tribes were separated into several tribes, each acting in their own way and never forming a unified Tribal Alliance. They are mainly nomadic mainly, horses, cattle, sheep, more trade with the Chinese.

Entering the desert, one's vision suddenly widened. Only then did one feel that the world was vast. Ten thousand li of the great desert, ten thousand li of the snowy plains. Snowflakes floated in the sky, dancing in the wind. The entire world was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness. There were no trees, only an endless expanse of white. It stretched all the way to the horizon, and the distant heavens and earth were all glued together. It was impossible to tell where the sky was and where the earth was. It was just like the end of the world.

"Yohoho …"

The young men from Yang Family Villa, Li Family Villa, Wang Family Villa, Xu Family Villa and Wulong Mountain were all extremely happy. They had grown up, and when they went out, they would be like a mountain, with a field of vision that had never been this wide before. They were so excited that they galloped their horses madly across the snowy plains, shouting and playing with each other, and throwing snowballs everywhere.

"Oh my god, this is the desert, there is such an open space in this world!"

"This is such a good place. Are we going to live here in the future? Wouldn't it be fine if we were to plant as many fields as we want, and then we can become the manor lord ourselves, hehe. "

Just as the young lad was happily shouting, Hua Tuo and his ten over young disciples caught up with him. They weren't as happy as the other young men about the snow scenery in the desert, but they couldn't help but complain when they saw the white and boundless world around them.

"Brother Yang Lin, you told us to come to the desert to look for medicinal ingredients, but this area is covered in white flowers, we can't even tell which direction is which, where do you want us to look? He even said that he wanted us to come see the desert, and that it was covered with snow. Did he want us to come see the snow? "

Yang Lin's old face was also a little flushed. He did not ask you to come here to find medicinal ingredients to begin with, and only said that back then. In this world of ice and snow, where are you going to find medicinal ingredients? If you can't find medicinal ingredients, you might need us to find them.

"Heh heh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was still snowing in Desert. But Mr. Hua, you guys don't have to worry, maybe after a few days the snow will stop. At that time, I will accompany Mister to look for medicinal ingredients. "

Hua Tuo chuckled and did not say another word. He felt as if he had seen a mirror in his heart, and was too lazy to explain himself, so he simply followed Yang Lin to see the snow on the ground. But Hua Tuo's little disciple, Xiao Qing, was not satisfied.

"Liar, Brother Yang Lin lied. Why would there be medicinal herbs in this vast prairie? You just want to trick us into being your doctors. "

"Hehe, little fellow, your mouth is quite good."

Although Yang Lin had not studied medicine before, he knew that many animals and plants could be used for medicinal purposes. The grassland was no exception, he couldn't remember what kind of medicinal ingredients were used in the grassland, but he had heard of some famous ones.

"Do you know about the Cordyceps sinensis? It's just that in summer it's grass, and in winter it's insects. Someone once wrote a poem: 'The Cordyceps sinensis is famous for its ability to transform and form a qi channel. A thing can move plants at the same time, the physical world is poor '. That's the best medicinal plant, it grows on the prairie. "

"Master, is what Brother Yang Lin said true?"

Although he was trying to be brave on the surface, his heart was beating like a drum. It was unknown whether or not someone else had discovered the Caterpillar Summer Grass at this time. That Xiao Qing still didn't quite believe him, but he had even memorized the poem, so he had no choice but to ask his master for confirmation.

"There is indeed such a medicinal herb. It is quite precious." If we can find some, then we might not have unjustly come to the Great Prairie. "

In Hua Tuo's eyes, there were practically no animals or plants that could not be used for medicinal purposes. Of course, he knew that there were a lot of medicinal herbs in the prairie. If he could find a few, he might be able to enrich his Alchemy Book. However, there was snow all over the place, where could he find it? He could only blame himself for not coming at the right time.

Not to mention finding medicinal ingredients, even the tribes that were searching for the Urushion had to put in a lot of effort to do so. The Urushion was wandering around, but he did not have a fixed address. In the vast snowy plains, where was the smoke? In the entire snow plains, let alone selling horses, Yang Lin couldn't even see a hoof print. He couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"My two brothers, we've been gone for several days. Why haven't we seen anyone?"

With regards to this situation, Su Shuang had seen too many things, he was not anxious at all. Looking at the vast snowy plains, Su Shuang smiled, and said to Yang Lin at a leisurely pace.

"Urushion can't stay in the same place forever, but they will always be moving around in a certain area. If we slowly search, we will find them."

Zhang Shiping listened quietly to Yang Lin and Su Shuang talking with an unnatural smile on his face. After a long while, as if he had made a great decision, he suddenly said to Yang Lin.

"Brother Yang Lin, let's head north from Public Ridge."

Yang Lin was his old partner, so he should be aware of the dangers of the Public Ridge. So how could he suggest taking the Public Ridge? He turned his head and stared at Zhang Shiping for a long time, his face filled with suspicions.

"Brother Shiping, why did you think of leaving Public Ridge?"

The words had already left his mouth, but Zhang Shiping's face remained abnormally calm. For the sake of his and his family's safety, he couldn't care less about anything else.

"Everyone says that the Public Ridge is a dangerous place, and ordinary people do not dare to go, but walking from the Public Ridge to here is closer, and since we have so many people, what is there to be afraid of?"

Yang Lin also didn't know what kind of place the Public Ridge was. Listening to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's argument, Yang Lin had thought that the Public Ridge was a more dangerous passage.

"Let's leave from Public Ridge. It's better to be a bit closer."

Seeing that Yang Lin had agreed, Su Shuang did not say anything else. He looked at Yang Lin and nodded.

"Alright, let's go to Public Ridge."

Five days in a row, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the horse traders camped behind a sheltered slope and decided to rest for a day before leaving. The team was tired and soon fell asleep. The next morning, Yang Lin still had not woken up. That bodyguard Tang Qing walked into Yang Lin's tent and woke him up.

"Master Yang, please follow me."

had been acting very secretively these past few days. Although it was said that he was Yang Lin's bodyguard, he had never been by Yang Lin's side. He would always act alone, so Yang Lin did not mind what he was doing. But today, he suddenly made Yang Lin follow him out, Yang Lin could not help but be curious. Thinking about his weak and frail body, Yang Lin did not pay much attention to him and followed him out of the camp.

To the north of the camp was the high slope that shielded the camp from the wind. When the two of them reached the top of the slope, Yang Lin realized that there were different sizes of slopes here, and the person they were standing on was the highest point in this vast desert. As far as the eye could see, snowflakes were dancing slowly in the air, and the entire wasteland was covered in snow.

Just as Yang Lin was enjoying the view of the snow on the high ground, Tang Qing was lying on his stomach. He laid his face on the snow, with his bottom up high, quietly listening to everything that was happening on the ground. After a long while, he finally got up, and nodded towards the surprised Yang Lin.

"Master Yang, about 250 kilometers north of our campsite, there is a group of cavalry. Two hundred and fifty miles to the south of our camp, there is another group of cavalry, about three thousand riders. "

"Ah …"

Yang Lin was shocked. There were cavalry at the front and back, were they not surrounded? However, there's a cavalry unit two hundred and fifty miles away. Furthermore, the number of people was so clear, it was just too miraculous. Yang Lin suspiciously looked at Tang Qing and smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"Oh, how do you know? Can you teach me?"

"Lie on the ground and listen. See if you can hear anything."

Yang Lin followed the method he taught his. As he laid on the ground, he started to listen seriously. However, aside from the whooshing of the north wind, he could not hear or sense anything else.

"I can't hear anything."

"What I said must be true. Two hundred and fifty miles to the north, more than five thousand cavalrymen were slowly approaching us. Two hundred and fifty miles to the south, about three thousand cavalrymen were approaching us. According to their progress, they will most likely surround us at the Public Ridge. "

Is this true?

"Who exactly are you? How can he have such a magical ability? "

"Sigh …"

Unexpectedly, the bodyguard let out a long sigh, as if he had some unspeakable difficulties as he looked at Yang Lin thoughtfully. Snowflakes drifted down on their faces, but no one cared. They allowed the cold feeling to seep into their hearts.

"Master Yang, you are not an ordinary person, I will tell you the truth. In this desert, there were many people who could hear the sounds of movement from dozens of miles away, or even hundreds of miles away. This wasn't strange at all. As for our family's few generations, when they came into contact with the desert, they were able to train their extraordinary hearing. If it's quiet around us, we can hear as much as three hundred miles. "

"But it was this ability that harmed our family. For the sake of convenience, the mounted bandit kidnapped my father and he was killed while fighting the Urushion. My brother and I hid ourselves everywhere, and then the mounted bandit caught my brother, and we died at the hands of the Urushion. I lived to this day by hiding my name. In order to repay Big Brother Zhang Shiping, I agreed to help. However, my real name is not Tang Qing.

Among all living beings, there was always a small number of strange individuals who possessed an extraordinary strength in a certain aspect. As for the person before him, he was a strange person. He must be captured and given to someone else. For safety's sake, he didn't mention his name, but Tang Qing would. From now on, he would not mention his name to anyone.

"Go back, I'll be alone."

Tang Qing obediently turned and left, leaving Yang Lin standing alone on the slope, his mood was like a surging flood, and he was unable to calm down for a long time. The mysterious Tang Qing faced reality, could choose to escape, hide in the vast crowd, hide his name, enjoy loneliness, and live his life in obscurity. This was a wise move.

And me?

Standing on the high yellow slope, looking at the vast desert of snow, Yang Lin's heart was at a loss. The north wind was still blowing, unstoppable as it made its way up the slope. The wind did not slow down at all as it swirled up the snowflakes, creating beautiful trails in the air and displaying their final glory.

Who am I?

Yang Lin closed his eyes and allowed the snow to fall onto his face. Then, it slowly melted into snow water and flowed down along his face. His mind was blank. He forgot that the wind was blowing, the snow was drifting, and he forgot that he had attacked the enemy from the front and back. He quietly stood on the high yellow slope.

Yang Lin slowly opened his eyes, his heart exceptionally tranquil. He suddenly felt that he had a new feeling about the meaning of life. Since the heavens had given him a chance to experience this world, and to walk his own life once, perhaps it was because this world had too many things that he could not control, destined his life to be reincarnated time and time again in this endless space. Thus, he told himself that he had to be strong.

A vast sky appeared in his mind. The stars were brilliant, and the waves of light rippled. Each of them ran forward according to their own trajectory. They did not know where they came from, nor did they know where they were headed, nor did they know why they were so busy.

In the depths of the sky, there was a huge whirlpool that was rapidly spinning and moving forward rapidly. Wherever the vortex went, it created a powerful gravitational force. Those stars that couldn't escape in time were sucked in by this gravitational force. Although they struggled desperately, they couldn't escape as they fell into this deep black hole.

The trajectory of an energy current brushed past the black hole, but was caught by the gravitational force. The stream of energy was fighting against the black hole's gravitational force with all its might. After struggling for a while, the flow of energy finally escaped from the black hole and left.

The energy flow that lost its trajectory fled forward at the speed of light, rushing towards the Earth without a choice. In that split-second, all of the energy converged into one, and a new life was born. Unfortunately, the immense energy sent this new life of recombination to the wrong place and time.

"I, am still me!"

He suddenly waved his right arm, clenched his fist, and pointed it at the sky. The roar was like thunder, piercing through the clouds and causing the clouds to tremble. The snowflakes became even more dense, like the petals of a goddess, as they gently floated down to the boundless snowy plains.

Suddenly, he pulled out the big blade at his waist. That shiny blade emitted a faint cold light in the midst of the snow-white light. He suddenly raised his broadsword and pointed it at the sky. A sense of pride rose in his heart. In that instant, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Pan Feng, Wen Chou, Lin Feng, Luo Yong, Luo Yong, Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, Cang Ba and the others' blade techniques, spear techniques, axe techniques, staff techniques gathered in their hearts, they could not help but start dancing.

The big blade flew up and down in Yang Lin's hand, full of vigor. Even the snowflakes were dancing with the big blade. He no longer deliberately moved, but let his heart and hands meet, his heart go with the knife, the knife from the heart. The saber light was like autumn water falling from the sky, turning into a boundless galaxy. It danced around in his hands and flowed happily on his body. Sometimes it would soar into the sky, sometimes it would land on the ground, sometimes it would transform into a streak of silver light, and sometimes it would scatter into the sky and fill the sky with stars.

He was drunk, truly drunk. It was as if he could see the peach blossoms bloom one after another. The entire road was filled with a thousand beauties, and the blood gurgled like water. The entire road was as dense as a mountain. One saber light, one sword shadow, one fire beacon, one trail of blood and tears …

As he danced, dancing at top speed, the mantra of the thirty-six shots melted in his mind, like a cool snowflake, suddenly melted in his heart, and he felt suddenly open, the air around him running, rushing and surging where he hoped to be, and for a moment he seemed to understand everything.

High up in the ground, Yang Lin retracted the blade in his hand. He stood there alone, quietly, he raised his head, and looked at the sky! Endless Sky... There was only that large blade and that vigorous figure. He was intoxicated as he stared blankly at the sky. Afterwards, he suddenly laughed out loud. He silently laughed, as if he was laughing with some bitterness. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There were a few snowflakes on his face. They melted gently, and the snow water brushed against his face.
