Chapter 109 Prisoners
Han Ming rode the old horse slowly on the official road, looking very leisurely. He admired the scenery passing by from time to time, and talked about sour poems from time to time, and really had the style of a traveling poet.
I have to say that the scenery of the river country is really good. You can see some wonders from time to time. For example, three days ago, Han Ming saw a hundred-story wave cliff. It was a waterfall. Layers of white waves flowed down from a thousand-foot cliff. After passing hundreds of uneven stone platforms, they finally fell into the large pool at the bottom of the cliff.
The hundreds of uneven stone platforms look like a magnificent stone staircase from a distance. The waterfall flows through the stone staircase and splashes layers of waves, so it is called the name of the hundreds of stacked wave cliffs.
There are rumors that the hundred-story stone platform on the Hundred-Story Wave Cliff is the ladder of the Immortal Family, a ladder leading to the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, most of it was broken, otherwise you could enter the Immortal Realm by stepping through the stone platform, and you will live forever and be free and easy from now on. However, rumors are rumors and cannot be true.
There are also many wonders that are no less than a hundred-story wave cliffs, and they are also accompanied by bizarre legends, either the famous fairy mountain, the fairy mansion, or the back garden of the fairy family.
Han Ming naturally would not deal with these immortal legends. If his meridians were restored, he would be an immortal in the eyes of those mortals, a god who could control fire and drive away ghosts. Wherever he showed his magic, there would probably be many legends of immortals coming to the world.
While Han Ming was watching the scenery, he did not delay his journey. He was just a little slower than before. After another seven or eight days of travel, he finally saw the two worlds mountains on the map.
Although these two realms mountains have a name for a mountain range, they can only barely be considered a mountain range, which is far inferior to the vastness of the Qixing Mountain Range.
From the map, after passing the Two Realms Mountain and traveling south for two days, a river running through the Jiang Kingdom will appear. At that time, just take a sailboat and go down the river. In just about ten days, you can reach the periphery of the Shengxing Mountain Range.
Han Ming showed a hint of joy on his face, and then he pulled the reins and clamped his legs again, driving the old horse to sit down to speed up and head straight towards the Two Realms Mountain.
When Han Ming was about to climb over a small hill, he vaguely heard some noisy sounds. He didn't care, thinking that there was a small caravan or something like passing by on the opposite side of the hill.
There were many caravans he met along the way. I thought the noisy sounds across the hillside should be the same. He didn't take it too seriously, but instead drove the old horse over the hillside with the reins.
When Han Ming climbed over the hillside and saw the scene not far away, he felt a little regretful. He immediately turned his head and walked back, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone.
There is indeed a caravan on the back of the hillside. The caravan is quite large. There are nearly a hundred carriages just for goods and the like. There are as many as three or four hundred people escorting goods.
In addition to these people who transported goods, there were nearly a thousand burly men around the caravan. These men surrounded the entire caravan with sharp blades in their hands. Next to the caravan were corpses lying all over the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Han Ming knew at first glance that he had encountered a horse thief. The corpses lying on the ground should be guards who resisted the horse thief. The hundreds of people squatting beside him should be those accompanying people who had no resistance, and of course there were a few bodyguards who did not resist.
Han Ming was in a relatively calm state of mind when he was walking on the road these days. He did not use his spiritual sense to explore the way, but only used his keen five senses to distinguish the way. It is said that his five senses are far from ordinary people, and it is impossible for ordinary secular warriors to get close to his body without being revealed. This is why he dared to do this. But now he is approaching this big scene of robbery and it is wrong, which really makes Han Ming a little confused.
Han Ming thought for a moment and knew why he hadn't heard the sound of robbery. He saw in an ancient book that there was a strange situation called sound jumping, which was very similar to the darkness under the light.
When a loud noise comes out in a certain place, you may not hear anything standing five miles away here, but you can really hear the loud noise standing ten miles away here.
This is because when the sound reaches Wuli, it "jumps" and passes over the ground, so people on the ground cannot hear it. This situation is called "jumps".
The possibility of sound jumping is very small, and even if it is produced, it may not necessarily make people bump into it. He would not have thought that this rare situation would be hit by him, and once it hit, it would put him in danger.
Han Ming didn't have time to lament his luck, so he turned his horse's head as soon as possible, preparing to leave quietly without disturbing anyone. Now he doesn't have the strength to protect himself among thousands of horse thieves.
Although Han Ming turned around quickly, it was extremely conspicuous to stand on a hillside alone on a horse, and you could see it from a distance. There were thousands of people there, and there were always a few who saw him.
Before Han Ming could hide at the back of the hillside, several horse thieves appeared. As soon as these horse thieves called, dozens of horse thieves chased after them. While shouting, they waved the horse whip in their hands, looking extremely excited.
Knowing that he had been revealed, Han Ming looked at the old horse sitting down and knew that he could not escape at all. The horse thieves' horses were far from comparable to his half-dead old horse.
After thinking for a while, Han Ming simply got off the horse and then stayed there and waited. He didn't want to anger the horse thieves, otherwise he would be shot to death by the bow and arrow, but he had no place to cry.
Han Ming stayed there, and a small porcelain bottle stopper in his sleeve was quietly opened. Until the last moment, he was never the appointed person who closed his eyes and waited for death.
After a while, the group of horse thieves walked around the back of the hillside, beyond their surprise. The boy I saw just now did not ride a horse, but fell to the ground and was looking at them tremblingly.
"I originally thought this kid was running away and was going to catch up with him for half a quarter of an hour, but I didn't expect that this kid would not ride a horse and fell off the horse." A group of horse thieves turned around Han Ming and his old horse.
"Haha, too. Looking at his fearful look, I'm afraid he's scared. Even if he can ride a horse, I'm afraid he's scared now!" Another horse thief suddenly swung the whip in his hand, and a crisp sound suddenly made.
Han Ming's body shook suddenly, as if he was startled, his body completely shrank into a ball, and the more timid he was, the more timid he was.
"Hehe, this kid is afraid that he will be so scared that he will wet his pants." A horse thief smiled.
"Isn't it? He's about to cry!" A horse thief with a long scar on his face echoed.
Han Ming silently planned to grab a horse, and then took advantage of the possibility of escaping alone without the thousands of horse thieves on the back of the hillside.
After two or three breaths, Han Ming felt that he was still very sure to escape. He made a quick decision and wanted to provoke the poison he had arranged before and poison these horse thieves to death.
But before he could fight poison, two or three horse thieves crossed the hillside and appeared not far away: "Oh, catch it! Then bring it back quickly. The boss asked us to prepare to go back to the mountain."
Since these people appeared not far away, Han Ming stopped and stopped fighting poison. He was unable to kill them because the few people later were not within the range of the poisonous fog.
At this time, Han Ming was a little unwilling to accept it. It was a pity that the Qiansha Tiao and the hook were damaged two years before he headed east. Otherwise, the Qiansha Tiao would be able to directly use the Qiansha Tiao to sieve the few people later, and then snatch a horse and jump into the forest. With the power of the hook Tiao, it would be easy to get out.
Han Ming extinguished the idea of running away at this time because he was really unsure of it. Now he is still injured. Too violent fighting may cause his meridians that have grown slightly better will collapse again.
In addition to his unsuitable fight now, there is another reason why Han Ming does not resist, that is, he has extraordinary medical skills. No matter where he goes, even in a horse thief's nest, doctors of the Miaoshou can still survive.
However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Han Ming would not admit to the group of horse thieves that he is a doctor. In that case, he is likely to be constantly exploited by these horse thieves, and he is afraid he will have no free time at that time.
A horse thief tied Han Ming's hands with a rope, then he turned over the horse, led Han Ming and walked towards the caravan.
Fortunately, Han Ming's expectations were not as expected, the group of horse thieves did not have the idea of killing him in the short term, nor did they want to drag him away with their horses, but instead dragged him towards the caravan without any haste.
Soon Han Ming was thrown into the caravan, and the horse thieves were unwilling to pay attention to him anymore. They were too lazy to ask about his origin, and completely regarded Han Ming as a transparent person.
Han Ming knew how to find an inconspicuous place recently, and then squatted there in a quiet voice, looking very frightened, but in fact, he was secretly planning how to escape from the group of horse thieves.
After thinking for a while, there was no way to escape. Han Ming simply stopped thinking about it, but planned to take one step at a time. The worst case was that he admitted his identity as a miracle doctor, and then was placed under house arrest until his meridians were completely repaired, and his magic power could be stored in his dantian again.
Han Ming was a little lucky. He would not have to worry about lacking medicine to treat the rupture of the chest meridians in the short term, because he got a lot of medicinal materials from Gu Dongzhu. The medicinal properties of these medicinal materials were all accumulated in his body. Although these medicinal properties were damaged, they were still enough for him to spend more than half a year. In half a year, his meridians had almost recovered.
