Jiang Yuntian's gaze was immediately attracted by the beautiful woman's elegant and refined temperament in the middle of the jade pendant. For a moment, his gaze seemed to be glued to it and did not move away for a long time.
The girl in the middle of the jade pendant was indeed a rare beauty in the world. Her figure was slender and slim. If she was a little too fat, she would be too fat. If she was a little too thin, she would be too thin. She was fat where she should be fat, and thin where she should be thin. Every part of her body was cut to fit her. Her jade feet were the size of a palm. Her eyes were like purple grapes. Her eyebrows were like newly grown willow leaves. The shade was just right. Her lips were like fat, and the thickness was just right. Especially the delicate and charming demeanor that was unique to a young girl, it made people's hearts beat faster. She was really a beautiful girl that everyone loved.
The reason why the statue of the young girl was so vivid was not only because of the meticulous carving of the craftsman, but also because of the ingenuity of painting the corresponding colors on the statue. In short, the statue of the young girl in the jade pendant could be called a " masterpiece."
The statue girl was wearing a light red tight-fitting outfit, and above her chest was a small vest woven from colorful bird feathers. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and the light green sword tassel behind her shoulder danced in the wind. These factors combined perfectly reflected the girl's indescribable wild and unruly attitude.
It was really too beautiful. It was so beautiful that Jiang Yuntian couldn't bear to part with it.
When he slightly adjusted the angle of his hand that was holding the jade pendant due to fatigue, the statue of the young girl in the hollow of the jade pendant gradually blurred. As the light that penetrated the hollow of the jade pendant decreased, the statue of the young girl finally disappeared completely. Looking at it from the front, the entire jade pendant was still crystal clear, without a trace.
Such an exquisitely designed white jade carving ornament, even if the value of a high-grade white jade was not mentioned, just the carving skill and coloring technique in the hollow of the jade pendant was enough to be worth more than ten thousand gold. Moreover, from the content of the text, the owner of the jade pendant had definitely abandoned the vulgar concept of the value of money in the market. He used the jade pendant as an object to carry around to comfort his longing. In this way, it was even more of a "priceless treasure".
The seven small words carved on the jade pendant,"I accompany my father for thousands of miles, sending my yearning", indicated that the beautiful girl carved in the middle of the jade pendant was most likely father and daughter to the old man surnamed Mu. From the words carved on the jade pendant and the fact that the old man carried it with him, he could infer that this old man surnamed Mu must have loved his beautiful and innocent daughter very much. Even when he wandered around, he still did not forget to carry a jade pendant to comfort his deep longing for his beloved daughter.
Although this was only Jiang Yuntian's speculation about the deep feelings between father and daughter, it was extremely reasonable.
Jiang Yuntian had lost his father since he was young and his family was in decline. He lacked the love and care that he should have. At this moment, he was thinking about things and imagined the deep love of the old man surnamed Mu. He was deeply touched for a moment.
He secretly blamed Old Man Mu for his carelessness. He had actually lost such a precious item that shouldn't have been lost. However, after thinking about it, he felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he would meet with the old man surnamed Mu at the appointed place three days later. At that time, he could return the jade pendant personally. In order to prevent himself from losing it, he tied the silver chain of the jade pendant firmly around his neck and then hid it close to his flesh to ensure that it would not be lost.
He had been watching the wind for a whole day, feeling that it was difficult to stop halfway through. He was really exhausted.
The handsome Dark Stallion slowly approached him, its lips purring repeatedly, but it was also a little tired.
Jiang Yuntian stretched out his hand and pulled the reins. Then, he fastened them around his wrist and wrapped the bearskin cloak around his body. He fell into a deep sleep on the spot.
He slept very soundly and sweetly. After all, he was too tired. At some point, the violent wind seemed to have stopped long ago. Jiang Yuntian, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt one of his hands being shaken by something, and the clear sound of a horse neighing rang in his ears. He suddenly opened his hazy eyes and realized that the sky had already darkened.
He didn't expect that he would sleep for such a long time. From noon to the sky turning dark, it was almost six hours. He stood up in a panic and looked around. The sky was dark everywhere, and countless stars were hanging in the sky of the first night. They were blinking mysteriously, and the moonlight was extremely faint, but it looked exceptionally charming.
Summer had passed, and the night was getting colder. The cold wind from the desert blew over, piercing through Jiang Yuntian's thin clothes, making him feel as if cold water had been poured on his body. It was chilly and very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he still had this bearskin cloak that he had taken from Sima Lei, and he also had some internal martial arts. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to withstand the cold wind at night in this desert autumn.
He hurriedly found a portion of dry food from the leather bag on the saddle and ate a few mouthfuls to fill his empty stomach. Then, he mounted the horse.
After resting for such a long time, the Dusk Stallion seemed to have recovered enough energy and was eager to gallop forward to relieve the cold on its body.
As soon as Jiang Yuntian mounted his horse, he could not wait to start galloping. This gallop was very different from before. As the saying goes," a horse with a full spirit is happy." Once this handsome Dusk Stallion let go of its four hooves and ran, it was really faster than a crossbow leaving the bow and lightning flashing through the air. Even Jiang Yuntian, who was riding on its back, could not help but be shocked. The Dusk Stallion was indeed a fine horse. This time, it could indeed travel a thousand miles in a day.
When the crescent moon had just risen to its zenith, Jiang Yuntian realized that he had already left the desert area. At this moment, in front of him was a meandering stream. Under the faint moonlight, one could see that the water of the stream was very clear. The bright water was long and winding. At first glance, it looked like a giant python slowly swimming forward with silver scales.
This stream was a small tributary of the Ulun River. Its source was the famous Gulan Lake in this area. The two sides of the stream were fertile and lush with grass. It was a famous livestock exile pasture.
Jiang Yuntian got off his horse and walked to the stream. He squatted down and scooped some water to drink. The Dark Stallion without a reins was freely chewing on the lush weeds by the stream bank, gulping down large mouthfuls, occasionally letting out extremely comfortable puffing sounds.
At this moment, he suddenly heard some strange sounds in his ears. In the quiet night, besides the sound of flowing water, he seemed to hear the sound of some bells. At first glance, it sounded like the thing in the hands of a wandering quack doctor. In fact, it was the bell that was buckled on the neck of an animal. At first, it was just a very vague sound. If it weren't for the fact that it was relatively quiet at night, and Jiang Yuntian's hearing as a martial artist was quite sensitive, he wouldn't have heard it at all. In just a moment, the sound became very clear. Not only did the sound become more prominent, but it was also mixed with other sounds.
The so-called " other sounds " were actually a kind of sound-the sound of hooves.
In this desolate and vast place, any sound outside of nature could be considered " special " and was enough to surprise people. In such a special environment, people naturally became very sensitive. A little strange sound was enough to make people vigilant and pay attention.
Jiang Yuntian quickly straightened his body and looked at the stream flowing into the distance. He could not help but be slightly surprised.
To be honest, in this remote place, such a large-scale horse formation was extremely rare. It was still unclear how many horses there were in the entire horse formation, but the first batch of horses had eight sitting horses. This was already clear.
The eight horses were of the same color, yellow and tall. They were in a row, and with the same uniform speed, they trampled on the soft and shallow grass by the stream. They were as fast as lightning, and in an instant, they were in front of them.
If it wasn't for the string of eye-catching and pleasant silver bells tied to the necks of the eight horses, it would be very difficult to hear them just by the sound of their hooves.
Because they were already very close, the ringing of the bell was not only clear in their ears, but it was also so loud that they could not help but cover their ears. Under the moonlight, there was a tall and sturdy man sitting on the backs of eight horses of the same color.
The eight muscular men were of almost the same height, height, and weight. They had the same posture and were dressed in the same clothes.
Each of them was wearing a tight and sturdy satin bow. It was a very rare style of clothing outside the pass. The front of the lapel was deliberately pulled down, revealing the inside. It could be seen that it was a piece of the boss's fur coat.
The eight burly men also had a silk ribbon of the same color on their heads. In the night, Jiang Yuntian could not see what color it was. He guessed that it was probably purple. The satin clothes on their bodies shone in the moonlight, giving off an indescribable feeling.
At the same time, Jiang Yuntian also noticed that in front of each of their saddles, there was a slightly curved narrow long saber hanging. The style of each saber was exactly the same, even the place where it was hung on the horse.
Under Jiang Yuntian's surprised gaze, the eight horses had already galloped past his eyes. The horse stance was very majestic and orderly. In addition to the amazing unity of the horse stance, the unity of the rider's spirit was even more amazing.
Rather than calling the eight people on the horses humans, it was more appropriate to call them human figures. This was because these eight people looked like human statues carved out of eight pieces of wood. Their eight pairs of sharp eyes were staring straight ahead without blinking, and their bodies did not move at all. How could they not have noticed the existence of a living person like Jiang Yuntian? However, they did not even look at him.
Just as Jiang Yuntian's astonished gaze had yet to shift away from the backs of the eight cavalrymen who had just passed by, he heard the sound of a second wave of hooves.
