    When the Qiang man saw Mo Wen coming on foot, he turned his horse around and rode towards him. When he got close, he turned over and dismounted, "Gu Kang Sang."

    Although Mo Wen didn't understand the Qiang language, he guessed from the gesture of one hand touching his chest that the Qiang man was saying hello to him, so he bowed his head and returned the greeting, "May you be blessed with immeasurable blessings."

    "Hello, Han." The Qiang man was about fifty years old, wearing colorful robes. He could speak Chinese, but he was far less fluent than the Qiang woman before.

    Don¡¯t smile and nod. These Qiang people are simple and kind to others.

    The Qiang man pointed at his flock with a whip, "This is ten taels of gold." After pointing to the sheep, he pointed to the cattle, "This is two taels of gold."

    Mo Wen frowned slightly when he heard this. The other party was undoubtedly selling his cattle and sheep to him, but the price was nondescript.

    Seeing the doubt on Mo Wen¡¯s face, the Qiang man grinned and ran to the edge of the sheep flock. He shook his hand and whipped his horse whip. The sound of the whip sounded, and more than a dozen white sheep were frightened and left the flock.  The Qiang man turned around with a smile, holding up the whip in his hand, "Ten taels of gold at a time."

    When Mo Wen saw this, he suddenly realized that the Qiang people's buying and selling of cattle and sheep was not based on discounts, but a lot of gambling. They would get as many cattle and sheep as they could frighten with a whip.

    Since he wanted to inquire about information, Mo Wen couldn't hide his face and not benefit from the other party. After careful consideration, he took out a piece of gold from his baggage and held it in his hand. When the Qiang man saw the gold, he turned around and ran over to take the gold from Mo Wen's hand and weighed it briefly.  He pointed at the sheep, handed the riding crop to Mo Wen, and at the same time raised two fingers on his left hand.

    Mo Wen waved his hand but did not take the whip in the other person's hand, and said, "I'll give it to you. I just want to ask for directions."

    The Qiang man looked surprised when he heard this. He looked at the gold in his hand and handed it back to him, "You don't need gold to ask for directions."

    Mo Wen hesitated for a moment and did not take the piece of gold. Instead, he took the whip and cracked it. These Qiang people have simple minds and simple hearts and will not accept money from others for no reason.

    Although Mo Wen just flicked it casually, the riding crop in his hand made a sharp sound. The sheep were frightened and most of them ran to the west. Only a few old and weak ones did not follow because of their inconvenience.

    The Qiang man was dumbfounded when he saw this. Mo Wen smiled and threw the riding crop to him, waving his hand at him, "I don't want it, I want to ask for directions."

    The Qiang man raised his hand and took the riding whip with a helpless look on his face. He took out the gold from his arms and took out his knife to divide it. When Mo Wen saw this, he 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 man.  He waved his hand and said, "Give it to you."

    The Qiang man did not answer, and sharpened the gold with his waist knife. Mo Wen was helpless to the stubborn Qiang man, so he took the piece of gold and cut it into two pieces, leaving one piece and giving the other piece to the Qiang man.

    "Ba Wu." The Qiang man saw Mo Wen cutting off the gold with his bare hands and gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

    Mo Wenwu didn¡¯t want to waste time with him and said something about the topic, ¡°There are monsters in Tajik Lake, do you know?¡±

    Hearing this, the Qiang people nodded, 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 man sat next to Mo Wen, took out his wine bag and handed it over, "I don't know."

    Mo Wen waved his hand but did not answer. Listening to the Qiang man's words, although he knew that there was a monster in the lake, he did not know that the monster in the lake was a snake doctor skink.  Since he didn't know the details, he couldn't ask for any valuable clues.

    Seeing that there was no fear on Mo Wen's face, the Qiang man spoke urgently to try to stop Mo Wen from going to the lake. However, his Chinese was not very good and he spoke very fast in a hurry. After listening for a long time, Mo Wen could only understand a rough outline.  , the Qiang people here all know that there are monsters in Tajik Lake, but they have not seen the appearance of monsters, just because they have gone there to graze before. When the livestock were drinking water by the lake, they were dragged into the lake by monsters and drowned. Similar situations  As this happened more often, the Qiang people no longer dared to touch that area.

    Mo Wen did not get any useful clues from the Qiang man's mouth, so he stood up and said goodbye to him.

    The Qiang man got up and ran into the sheep, pulled out a few old sheep and lambs from the sheep, handed the whip to Mo Wen, and signaled him to drive away the remaining sheep.

    Mo Wen came out to subdue the skink, and naturally he would not drive a group of sheep around, so he waved his hand at it and turned around to start.

    The Qiang man's face turned red. He held Mo Wen and handed him the riding whip.

    Mo Wen had no choice but to avoid it and flew away in the air.

    A hundred miles away from the lake, Mo Wen hid his aura and quietly went to the lake. Judging from the aura, the skink was still dormant in the lake and had not left.

    The last time he came here was in the cold winter, the grass on the lakeside had withered, and tall weeds grew on the lakeside.??, as tall as a person, the situation in the lake cannot be seen from the outside.

    There were no steep terrain changes on the grassland. Approaching the lake, Mo Wen stooped forward and crouched down behind a mound on the west side of the lake. The herdsmen were scattered on the grassland. It was very difficult to find out the situation. He could only wait and observe by himself.  , act according to circumstances.

    This lake is not big, round in shape, only a few dozen feet in diameter. The scent of the skink is located on the southern edge. It may be waiting for prey, or it may be out of the water to bask in the sun.

    An ordinary skink is only half a foot long. Judging from its aura, this skink should be over ten feet long, so it is not very big, but for the species of skink, it can be considered a behemoth.

    "Be as quiet as a virgin, move as if you are running away from a rabbit. This is a military strategy, and it is also a concrete embodiment of the Taoist theory of yin and yang of movement and stillness. You must have enough patience when observing the enemy's situation, and you should be quick and quick when attacking the opponent.  This is the period of observation, so Mo Wen should stay motionless under the mound and wait for observation.

    At noon, the temperature rose, and the skinks completely emerged from the water and crawled away from the grass on the south side. Since the weeds near the lake were very tall, you could only see the swaying of the weeds from a distance but not the specific appearance of the skinks.  .

    The skink patrolled the lake and then returned to the south side of the water and stopped. The skink was four or five feet away from the water during its previous inspection. With such a distance, Mo Wen had the confidence to catch it before it jumped into the water.  He stopped him, but he didn't dare to act rashly. If the skink was frightened, it would most likely abandon its tail, and it would be useless to catch it and take it back.

    There was no movement in the afternoon. The skink did not wait for its prey and dived into the pool after nightfall. Based on the location of the skink's breath, it can be judged that the lake is not very deep.

    After a silent night, the skink reappeared on the south side of the lake at midnight the next day. 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.  The skink was a bit smaller than he thought. It was only about ten feet long. It had a short head, a big head and a long tail. It had four limbs under its body. The scales on its body were colorful. The colorful scales indicated that the creature was male.  , if it is a female, it will not have five colors on its body.

    This skink moved very slowly, but Mo Wen did not dare to catch it because he was not sure how fast the skink could run after being frightened, nor could he figure out how to stop it from cutting off its tail when frightened.

    The most recent time, the skink was less than three feet away from Mo Wen¡¯s hiding place. Mo Wen restrained himself and never took action.  The hardest thing in the world is not making up your mind to do something you want to do, but trying to restrain yourself from doing something you want to do.

    While waiting, don¡¯t worry about how to catch this thing. This thing is of low character, so it¡¯s not difficult to catch it by force, but the fear is that it will have its tail cut off.  Sealing the earth's energy with a charm is not enough. Skinks will cut off their tails when they are panicked and frightened. This creature is not very intelligent and most of its actions are based on instinct.

    After thinking about it, there is only one possible way, and that is to suddenly attack when it is hunting. At that time, its attention is entirely on the prey, and you can take the opportunity to attack and stun it.

    Having made up his mind, Mo Wen waited for another two days. There were very few large animals on this grassland. Small animals such as hares could rely on the green grass to get moisture and did not need to drink water. Therefore, the skinks did not wait for prey for several days.

    And the skink was not anxious because of this. It is a close relative of the poisonous snake and has similar nature. It can eat for many days at a time without being hungry.

    After waiting for days but not getting it, Mo Wen quietly retreated. Since he couldn't wait for the opportunity, he could only try to create opportunities.

    After traveling a hundred miles south, Mo Wen climbed up and looked around the grassland. There was little cover on the grassland. After climbing up, he could see far away. There were five families of Qiang people grazing in this area. Mo Wen chose to go west, because there were many other animals besides sheep.  With large herds of cattle and horses, the Qiang people on the grassland tend to raise sheep more and herd cattle and horses less.

    Sure enough, after Mo Wen approached, he found that the herd was the Qiang man he met before. When the Qiang man saw Mo Wen coming back, he wanted to give the sheep to him again. Mo Wen refused to accept the sheep and told the Qiang man his request.  The Qiang man nodded in agreement and gave Mo Wen two bags of liquor brewed from Yuanmai and a stallion that was a black sheep.

    The reason why we need a horse is because the cow has a high status in Taoism, and Taoist disciples usually do not harm it. In addition, the cow moves too slowly, and it may take several days to reach the lake.

    When the stallion is in spring, it doesn't listen to the driving at all. It will go wherever the mare is. Mo asked Haoshengfei to pull it out and bring it to the vicinity of the water pool. Then he let it go and went back to the lake to wait.

    Not long after hiding, the stallion followed him following the water vapor. The skinks in the lake seemed to be aware of the approach of the prey, and hurriedly entered the water, hiding under the water and waiting quietly.

    The stallion was in the prime of life, his consciousness was greatly reduced, and his instincts became very dull. He was not aware of the danger under the water at all. When he reached the water, he immediately lowered his head to drink

    Seeing that the stallion was in danger, Mo Wen secretly thought to himself, Infinite Heavenly Lord, and at the same time quietly moved forward.

    Before the Infinite Heavenly Lord finished chanting, the skink had jumped out from the water, biting the stallion's neck, and at the same time stabbed the horse's belly with its sharp tail hook.

    The stallion was suddenly in danger. He was frightened and frightened. He suddenly felt a surge of strength and jumped up, taking the skink away from the lake.

    After waiting for several days, Mo Wen finally got the chance. He jumped up and rushed forward. When he got close, he condensed his spiritual energy with his front palm and slapped the skink on the head. The force of this palm had been carried out in his mind for many times.  After further deliberation, if the force is too light, the skink will not faint to death, and the tail may be cut off by then.  If the force is too strong, the skink may be beaten to death.

    The force of this palm was just right. When the right palm struck, the skink fainted instantly. The stallion took the opportunity to break free and ran away with blood.

    After the skink was stunned, its belly was facing upwards. The white scales on its abdomen were very similar to those of poisonous snakes. Mo Wen was afraid that it would wake up, so he took out the wine he asked from the Qiang people and poured it into his mouth. This bag of white wine could not only intoxicate the stone  Skink can also warm the blood. If there is no wine to warm up, the skink will freeze to death on the mountainside.

    After capturing the skink, Mo Wen ignored the fishy smell and immediately carried the skink on his shoulders to gain energy and return
