    ?

    Xing Huaizhou sent more than 3,000 elite soldiers to Zhao Pu. Although it is easy to say, it will take a lot of effort to bring the 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the hundreds of thousands of troops.

    However, this is what Zhao Pu needs to worry about. Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao will not consider this issue.

    Zhao Pu asked the two of them to go first, and he wanted to prepare with Gongsun, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rode horses and went for a stroll to the hill near Heishui, wanting to go up the mountain to see for themselves what the Nanman army camp was like.

    Although the two horses, Zao Duoduo and Bai Yunfan, have been together for a while, their relationship seems to be unabated, and they are in a mess.  Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were riding on horses, and they felt their legs touch their legs every now and then, looking down, the heads of the two horses had already been bumped together.

    Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and patted Zao Duoduo on the forehead, "Duo Duo, you are a girl after all, be more reserved."

    Zao Duoduo reluctantly took a step to the side, but Bai Yunfan bumped up again, so Bai Yutang had no choice but to pull the horse's reins, and the two horses looked back at their owners with some resentment at the same time, as if they were being beaten with a club.

    Just arrived near Heishui, the sound of water could already be heard, but instead of going forward, the two chose to climb the slope.  So, the not-so-steep mountain road reminded Zhan Zhao of the previous encounter here, the injury Bai Yutang suffered, and his despair that night, and he was really afraid.

    Bai Yutang knew that revisiting Zhanzhao might be uncomfortable, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "Mao'er, have you been to Nanban?"

    Zhan Zhao was led by him cooperatively, shaking his head, "Of course I haven't been therehave you been there?"

    Bai Yutang nodded, "I went there once when I was young, with my second brother."

    This time it was Zhan Zhao's turn to be surprised, "Why did you go to Nanban?"

    "Buy wood." Bai Yutang recalled a past event many years ago, "I was quite young at that time, and I had just finished my studies and came home. My second brother needed Huanglong wood to build a ship. I searched everywhere and heard that there was a thousand-year-old tree in the Nanban area.  Qimu, someone auctioned it at a high price, so the second brother came to buy it. You also know that my second brother is very good at escaping, but his skills are really bad. Huanglong wood is worth tens of thousands of gold. What if he bought it and was robbed? So  I came with him."

    "Making a boat out of yellow dragon wood?" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "Isn't yellow dragon wood used to make coffins? If it's heavy, it will sink in the water. How can you make a boat?"

    Bai Yutang didn't answer, but just stared at Zhan Zhao with a complicated expression.

    Zhan Zhao was a little flustered by being stared at, and he had already put the previous discomfort behind him. After thinking about it, he didn't feel guilty. What's wrong?  Huanglongmu is indeed mostly used as coffins.

    "Cat. The boat is not made of a single piece of wood. The yellow dragon wood is only used to make the keel." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and squeezed Zhan Zhao's arm, "Bones also sink to the bottom of the water, but people can float up. You  Why is it a muscle?"

    Zhan Zhao felt ashamed, but he had never built a boat before, so it was understandable, and he felt that his focus seemed to be misplaced, so he didn't care about the boat wood or the coffin wood, and then asked Bai Yutang, "So you go to Nanban?"  , did you have any adventures?"

    "Speaking of which, it's really an adventure." Bai Yutang stroked his chin and recalled, "I almost died in Nanban."

    Bai Yutang casually said that Zhan Zhao's heart was suspended in the air, "What? What happened to you, were you sick or were you attacked?"

    Bai Yutang thought for a while, "I can't say, but luckily someone saved me.

    Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "Be specific!"

    "Where do we start?" Bai Yutang thought for a while, "My second brother's lifelong ambition is to build the largest ship in the world, which can travel across oceans to far, far places, so we need a thousand-year-old sacred tree to build it.  Make the keel."

    Zhan Zhao nodded and listened carefully.

    "There are only a few thousand-year-old trees like Huanglongmu in the whole world? Most of them were conscripted into the palace to repair the palace, and most of the trees left only have roots, but there is one place where you can find the real Huanglongmu.  , do you know where it is?"

    Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "In the water, right?"

    Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

    Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Did you just say that yellow dragon wood is used to make the keel of the boat, so someone must have done it before. When the boat sank, wouldn't the keel be in the water?"

    Bai Yutang nodded approvingly, Zhan Zhao is really smart, he will draw inferences when he gets it right!

    "Could it be that the yellow dragon wood you are going to buy this time is the keel of a sunken ship that was fished out of the water?" Zhan Zhao continued to ask.

    "There are many swamps and jungles in the Nanman area. In the jungle area that spans the entire Nanman area with hundreds of tribes, there is a river whose name I don't know.???  "

    "He said that those who bought wood were recruited because they were too close, and I was recruited" Bai Yutang thought for a while, "He said that I am the person who is looking for wood."

    When Zhan Zhao heard this, he squinted his eyes and stared at Bai Yutang for a while, "I thought you were just men, women, old and young, and all living things would be killed, even wood is good for you."

    Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mao'er, you seem to be the one who kills all men, women and children!"

    "Did Mu Mu see you later?" Zhan Zhao continued to ask.

    "I didn't understand what it meant at the time. The second brother asked the monk for help. The old monk gave me a few sachets and an amulet to wear, saying that this place is very dangerous, but the curse of the wood has been lifted, so that we can  Don't worry." When Bai Yutang said this, his expression was a little dark, "The old monk left after that, and I asked him where he was going, and he said that he would never see each other again.  He repaid his kindness. In addition, he also asked us to take the wood away and find a place to keep it properly."

    Zhan Zhao sighed, "It's a divine monk."

    "My second brother and I went to the wood seller the next day, and found that the surface of the yellow dragon wood had been planed to remove the bark. The hideous feeling was gone, but there was a hole in the wood.

    "Hole?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "Did the beaver do it?"

    "The size of the hole is just right for a person, almost like a coffin."

    "Then" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Isn't it similar to what you saw in your dream? Is there any connection?"

    "It is said that that night, someone saw a monk take out a sculpture from the yellow dragon tree that no one dared to approach. It seemed to be a black clay doll.  I left with clay sculptures."

    "Did you buy wood afterwards?"

    "The old monk ordered, of course I want to buy it, anyway, no one dared to ask for it, but my second brother and I took the wood home, and nothing happened along the way, because the wood had holes, so it was not suitable for making keels, so we left it in the trap.  It¡¯s an empty island.¡± Bai Yutang said, and took out a cross-shaped light green jade pendant from the pocket that held the black jade flying locust stone, and showed it to Zhan Zhao, ¡°That amulet was given to me by the great monk.  I wear it by my side all year round, and I haven¡¯t had any nightmares since then. Aunt Wu saw it, and she said it was a treasure, so I must keep it on my body, and try not to let others see it, it might save my life in the future.¡±

    Zhan Zhao took the jade and looked at it, then suddenly reached out and touched his chin lightly.

    "What's wrong?" Bai Yutang saw that his expression was different, "What's the problem?"

    "I seem to have seen this somewhere." Zhan Zhao said to himself while holding the jade pendant, "I can't remember where it is."

    Before he finished speaking, Bai Yunfan and Zao Duoduo stopped in their tracks one after another, and they had already arrived at their destination.

    Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were talking just now, and before they knew it, they had already reached the high point of the hillside. They dismounted from their horses, climbed onto the top of the hill, and looked down

    On the other side of the billowing black water, tens of thousands of tents were densely lined up. These tents were all made of vines.  It's not how many soldiers and horses there are from those alien races, but how many animals there are in this barracks!

    "What is that black thing?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, pointing to one of the leopard-sized big black cats.

    "Black panthers or something." Bai Yutang had a good impression of cat-like animals, and asked Zhan Zhao, "I don't know if it's good to keep them?"

    Zhan Zhao didn't have the intention to joke with Bai Yutang. After a cursory scan, there were at least a thousand beasts in the barracks below, and they were all elephants, leopards, tigers, jackals and the like. They were all chained and guarded by special personnel.  .

    Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and then heard someone from behind ask, "Is it bad?"

    "Yeah." The two nodded together, it was really bad!  At the same time, the two came back to their senses, turned their heads suddenly, and saw Tianzun squatting behind them, holding a little furry tiger in his hands.

    Zhan Zhao stared at Tianzun, while Bai Yutang stared at the little tiger, and they spoke together.

    What Zhan Zhao said was, "Tianzun?"

    What Bai Yutang said was, "Big cat!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
