The two of them got things done smoothly this time, with almost no time wasted. It was expected to take a month, but it has only taken half a month so far. The remaining time is very generous, so the two of them are not in a hurry.

Continue riding westward to the second suspected location.

The two of them are currently on the border of Jiannan Road, which is located on the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty and borders Tubo on its westernmost side.

The terrain here is very complex, with mountains and rivers, dense forests and deep valleys, and relatively flat grasslands in some places. The biggest feature here is that it is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few cities and villages along the way.

The second suspected location is located at the junction of He Yun Mountain and the grassland. A few years ago, local herders used to drive their sheep to graze in the He Yun Mountain area. They saw a huge eagle here. The eagle flew out from the mountains to the east.

He rushed into the herd and snatched a goat.

The clues about the Song brothers were just hearsay. According to the merchant who did business with the Taiping Inn that day, the eagle's wingspan was more than one foot long, and one foot is three steps. If the merchant did not exaggerate, an eagle with such large wings would

It should be able to carry people.

He Yun Mountain is not an isolated peak, but a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. The two of them arrived at the junction of the grassland and the forest, leaving their horses behind, and entered the dense forest to search eastward.

This place is inaccessible, and since no one disturbs it, there are many animals in the mountains. Tigers and leopards roam the dense forests, and snakes and lizards lurk in the valleys. There are no roads, so the two can only use light skills to fly and jump from the trees. .??.

Searching in deep mountains and dense forests is extremely time-consuming. If you want to make sure there are no omissions, you can only move eastward and make multiple north-south reciprocations. However, if you want to search this area in this way, it will take a long time.

You may not be able to finish your search every month.

Since we were searching for giant birds, we adopted the wait-and-see method and went hundreds of miles deep to the highest mountain peak. From the top of the mountain, we could look down into the distance. This was the time when the eagles were feeding their young eagles.

The eagle will keep going out to look for food. The two of them are currently at the highest point. As long as they take off, they can be discovered by the two of them.

It is said that it is extremely cold at high places, and this is true. The temperature at the top of the mountain is very low, and it gets even colder at night. For fear of alarming the eagles that may exist in the mountains, the two of them did not dare to light a fire, so they had no choice but to endure it.

Facts have proved that there are indeed eagles in the mountains, but they are only common species and not very big ones.

In the early morning of the next day, we finally discovered something. There were two eagles a hundred miles away in the northwest that were much larger than their own kind. However, due to the distance, it was difficult to accurately estimate how big these two eagles were.

After discovering the whereabouts of the giant eagle, the two did not go immediately, but continued to wait from the top of the mountain.

One day later, while the daylight was bright and I could see farther, I made a more detailed observation of the sky above the dense forest. The result of the observation was that only the pair of eagles in the mountain were very huge, and the others were of normal size.

In the evening, the two left the mountain and moved northwest. At midnight, they arrived at the area where the giant eagle nested. The giant eagle's nest was located on the mountainside of a rocky mountain, under a protruding rock.

Upon noticing the two men's intrusion, the two giant eagles immediately fluttered their wings and flew out of the nest, circling in the sky and chirping in protest.

When they saw these two eagles at close range, they were disappointed. The wingspan of these two eagles was about six feet, which was twice that of other species of the same kind. However, their size was still unable to carry people.

There are many bones scattered under the eagle's nest, including many sheep and deer bones, but they are obviously the bones of lambs and fawns, which shows that they can only prey on immature sheep and deer.

There were two eaglets in the nest, but since they couldn't carry people, they were of little use. In desperation, they had no choice but to leave in frustration and return dejectedly.

Returning to the edge of the forest, they retrieved their mounts, and the two of them sat under the tree and shared the last naan.

Let Feng Dian sleep in the open, run around and suffer, Datou was very uneasy and said, "Sir, if you can't find it, don't look for it. Let's go back."

"No, I finally made the trip, I can't come back without success." He shook his head.

"I know you are kind to me, but this matter..."

Before Datou could finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted him, "It's not just for you. We will experience many things in the future and may encounter any situation. We need a bird that can carry people."

Seeing this, Datou stopped trying to dissuade him, "Didn't you say there are three clues? Where is the other one?"

"Duoji Mountain," he raised his hand and pointed to the west, "it should be eight hundred and fifty miles away from here."

"How do you know so much about it? Have you ever been there?" Datou was confused.

"No, I just heard about it." He said that Leng Jingnan had told him that Gelug Monastery was located in Duoji Mountain, and also told him the distance between Duoji Mountain and Yuzhou.

"Doji Mountain is the ancestral home of the Gelug sect of Tantric Buddhism," he said. "According to Brother Song Cai, many believers who go to Doji Mountain for pilgrimage have seen sacred birds that can carry people there."

"

Don't look like you have no hair on your head, that would be too ugly." Big Head said with a grin.

"Probably not," he didn't know for sure. "Since we're already here, let's go over and have a look. If we can't find it again, we can only go back and wait until later."

Seeing this, Datou no longer objected. The two of them ate dry food, took a short rest, and then got on their horses and headed west.

To the west, there are mostly flat grasslands, and there are also mountains, but not many and not high. From time to time, devout believers can be seen kneeling step by step and moving slowly along the way.

There was almost no conversation along the way. He was not worried that the trip would be in vain, but he was worried about what if there were really birds that could carry people in Duoji Mountain. The Geluk Monastery was built on Duoji Mountain.

It may have something to do with the Gelug Monastery, and several eminent monks from the Gelug Monastery were once kind to me, and my legs were cured by them. It would be a bit unreasonable to steal their birds again.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided that I couldn't repay kindness with enmity. If it didn't work out, I would just tell the truth and see if I could ask for one. Of course, it wasn't for nothing, but I was rewarded with a lot of money, 1.8 million incense money. Whose day is it these days?

Everyone has a hard time, including Taoist monks.

When I think of this, I feel at ease.

Most of them are people who have experienced poverty and hardship. These people have the habit of carrying money with them, and they will bring more money when they go out. There are hundreds of taels of gold stuffed on the saddle, and they can even come to the door to say thank you.

From time to time, you can see local people heading westward along the way. These people are neither herdsmen nor traders. They seem to be pilgrims in the past.

The further west we walked, the more pilgrims there were, and I began to wonder if there were any rituals or celebrations going on at Geluk Monastery, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people on weekdays.

At noon the next day, the two finally arrived at the town at the foot of Duoji Mountain. They had already known that there were 20,000 monks in the Gelug Monastery, so they were not too surprised when they saw the majestic temples stretching over a stretch. However, Datou was not.

Knowing this, I looked up and was stunned.

There are many tents of different sizes outside the town at the foot of the mountain. These tents must be inhabited by believers who have come for pilgrimage but have not had time to go up the mountain. There are various numbers of cattle and sheep tied around the tents, which may be offerings to the monks.

Just when the two of them stopped to look up, two young women came closer. They were holding a bowl of milk of unknown type in their hands. Since the two of them spoke in dialect, Datou couldn't understand it at all, but the two young women came closer.

The man had a smile on his face and was holding milk soup in his hand. He was undoubtedly delivering milk soup to the two of them.

>The water bags of both of them were empty, and they were indeed a little thirsty. They thanked them and took the milk soup to drink. Then they took out a large amount of money and delivered it to them, but the two young women did not accept it. One of the young women was generous.

He took Datou's hand and tried to pull him far away.

"Sir, what are they doing?" Datou was a little panicked.

At this time, he was also confused. He didn't understand the local customs, but since Datou was a dwarf, this young woman probably wouldn't like him.

"It's okay, you go with her and see what she wants to do." He said.

After hearing this, Datou followed the young woman away.

When they arrived at a quiet place, the young woman gestured while talking, pointing at the tent with the horses tied in the distance, and at the big head, several times in the process.

Seeing the other person pointing at me made me a little nervous, but don't let others take advantage of you just after drinking a bowl of milk soup.

Da Tou couldn't understand the other party's language and had difficulty communicating. After talking to Niu Piano for a long time, the young woman became a little anxious. She raised her hands and made a movement. Not only Da Tou could understand this movement, but also Gai.

It's dirty, but it's universal.

He was just nervous at first, but now he started to be scared. Before the big head came back, he started to look around, looking for an escape route.

Perhaps sensing his intention, another young woman staying nearby quickly raised her hand and grabbed the reins of the horse.

Not long after, the big head came back, followed by the young woman.

Thinking of the evil gesture that this person had made before, his heartbeat began to accelerate. Although this person was following behind the big head, his eyes kept staring at him. He was even more panicked. Worse, the other person was probably coming for me. The reason why he was looking for

When talking big, it's likely that you're testing your tone first.

Looking at Datou again, the tension on his face had turned into calmness, which meant that nothing happened to him anymore.

Datou stepped closer, raised his head and said, "Sir, they want to borrow a seed."

Hearing Da Tou's words, his face changed drastically, and he was very unhappy, "You have been following me for more than a day or two. You should know who I am."

Dutou's reaction was somewhat unexpected, and Datou asked cautiously, "Then shall we borrow it?"

"I won't lend it to you," he said coldly.
