Chapter four hundred and thirty-fourth: Daima Yifeng
What Shi Wuqi pointed to them was a red desert.
There are several large and small Gobis and deserts in the northwest of the country. The most mysterious of them is a place called "Cinnabar Desert". As its name suggests, the place is indeed a desert, and there are eye-catching and bright red colors everywhere.
.But this place does not produce cinnabar, it is just similar in color. There are many strange legends about this place, but according to Shi Wuqi, it is just because there are no plants and no water sources here, and it is a place of death where life cannot grow.
There are enough rumors about this place because of people's lack of understanding about it.
However, it does have a mysterious place. Some say that the sand here is mixed with red minerals similar to cinnabar, some say that the red here is the precipitated rays of light, and some say that the soldiers who guarded the border in the early years dyed this place red with their blood.
.Either one is so untenable that people just take it for fun.
"That place is very close to the hell realm." Shi Wuqi said, "When I entered hell by mistake, I saw many entrances close to here from that world, including this place. This desert has existed since ancient times, and
is gradually spreading. As to why it
It appears red like cinnabar. I may be able to give the answer - it is the fire from hell that illuminates every grain of sand. If you take them away from here, they will return to their normal color. And in the kind of life that is accompanied by death
Where no life has the courage to grow."
"Why go to that place? No, I mean... why go to hell?"
"It's not that I really want you to go to hell - I'm afraid there will be no return. According to the news, after he lost a lot of resources, he went into hibernation temporarily. But he has continued to take advantage of the cracks in the six paths, that is, death
A place where he was born, to do many experiments, or to store many things. Considering these circumstances, his current actions may not be too simple. This is why the elders suppressed him and needed to hire onmyoji..."
"Is the source of the information accurate?" Xie Zhe said immediately, "We are not doubting you, it's just that... it must be difficult to obtain information related to him."
"Hahaha... Well, how should I put it?" Shi Wuqi's expression was a little complicated, "It is indeed information from the six paths of impermanence. I am willing to believe that it is reliable."
These words sounded really guilty, but no matter what, they believed that since the Hundred Skeleton Master chose to say it and implemented it according to the information, there should be a certain degree of credibility. In fact, Xie Zhe also made a guess in his mind.
Could it be that the news related to hell was obtained from a notorious impermanent ghost?
Shi Wuqi gave each of them a pendant, which looked like an ordinary jade stone. To reach the place he mentioned, one needs to pass through layers of spiritual veins, including six spiritual veins. Logically speaking, there is no Huangquan Bell with six impermanent
Or other things serve as shelter, and people, including monsters, can easily get lost in them.
However, many spiritual stones or special plants and trees have been discovered. Once they are made into professional tools, ordinary people can easily travel between them - but the number of times is limited. However, who would walk in such a dangerous place?
What? So not many people know how to make these magical props.
Hundreds of Skeleton Lords Association.
It only took less than three days to walk through dark or colorful "roads" to reach the town near the Cinnabar Desert. Han Sheng was still sighing. If they had had this spiritual stone pendant, they would have been able to go to many places before.
It was faster. But Shi Wuqi would not do a loss-making business. If they had not agreed to fight against the lies this time, he would not have been able to "lend" things to a few people generously.
They rented a carriage from the town, which could carry four people, but it could not pull them into the depths of the desert. They had to walk the rest of the way on their own. The carriage was rickety, and the scorching sun in the sky was still so scorching that it was not possible at all.
It doesn't look like autumn.
In the car, Ling Hu suddenly said this:
"The first time I met A-Zhe was on a carriage. I didn't even notice him at the time."
"I heard it's winter, right?" Wenying, who was sitting opposite, became interested and continued, "I heard it was snowing heavily, and my brother told me about it. But it's not cold at all now, and that
Times must be different."
"Yes, that carriage is also very small, so it's very crowded for two people."
Xie Zhe reminded them: "You still have to be careful, it's very cold in the desert at night."
As he said that, the carriage suddenly jolted, making Ling, who was unable to sit still,
Quan bumped into Xie Zhe's shoulder. He quickly supported her and said with some embarrassment:
"I didn't expect that so much time has passed."
"...Yeah." Ling Huan lowered his head and said with a smile, "I still experienced a lot of things that I never dared to think about. But, I don't regret it."
That being said, if she can go home, I wonder what Ling Hui will choose now. At this juncture, they don't want to bring up this somewhat sad topic. It has no meaning other than adding to the sorrow. Although she does not regret leaving home.
However, the journey was filled with many things worth regretting. As for what they were, they knew clearly and also knew they should not ask.
"Miss Ye..." Xie Zhe suddenly called her.
"Hey." Ling Quan responded, but then he was startled and said reproachfully, "I'm so unfamiliar."
"Are you sure you want to go with us? That's...a place of life and death."
"Why not? It's not like I've never been there before." She smiled, "And it's considered a narrow escape. You can rest assured, I won't cause you any trouble. Didn't you say it before? Compared to me,
I can’t just settle down if I can…”
I cannot accept the fact that you "abandoned me".
Wenying and Hanshang, who were sitting across from each other, looked at each other without saying a word. This girl was surprisingly stubborn in some aspects, and even eight cows couldn't pull her back. And they had already come to this point, and they would never be separated again.
It's possible. Not to mention this time,
The situation might not be as dangerous as before, because Shi Wuqi told them that he would also come to Cinnabar Desert, and even Lintian Master. But they still had their own affairs to deal with, so they let the four of them set off first. They wanted
Came here very quickly.
The plan is this: the four people who are temporarily keeping the Demon-Conquering Pestle will head to the Cinnabar Desert first. Lintian Master will be waiting here early, and Shi Wuqi said he will definitely find them. By then, Lintian Master and Xie Zhe will use the Demon-Conquering Pestle to
pestle, to find and "pry"
"Open the barrier set by Wuyonglan. They are convinced that the person hiding here must be him, because the puppet's substitute cannot cross the barriers of the six paths. Even if he learns something from Mahuluojia's formation,
There is no way to break this barrier.
"Will the so-called first formation...be there? In the cracks of the six paths?"
"Probably not." Xie Zhe replied to Ying, "If the first formation is hidden in the cracks of the six paths, the power cannot be transmitted to the real world. But why is he hiding here and what is his purpose? For us
is unknown. Although in the human world, the Six Paths of Impermanence can try to find him
A hiding place, but even if you hide in hell, there is still a way for the impermanent people. Rather, it will be easier to find him in a realm that does not belong to human beings. So we may face some unpredictable dangers. But
By the same token, it may well be that this is our only chance."
The distance that the carriage could carry was limited, so they had to go deep into the Cinnabar Desert on their own. It was already dusk when they got off the car, and the warm sunset made the red color of the entire desert more vivid. They had never seen such a scene. Even
The groom who drove the car also said that such a stunning scene is always so moving no matter how many times it is seen. However, one cannot stay here for too long, otherwise people will feel tight in the chest and short of breath, as if their soul is being taken away by this place.
They thanked the coachman and set off towards the depths of the desert. Even though several of them were wearing coats to keep out the cold, the air-conditioning inevitably penetrated the fabric and pricked them hard. The sand here is red and has a texture that is thicker than ordinary ones.
The sand is rougher and more crystal clear, but there is no difference. Even if it is completely
At night, the stars can also light up the red color on the ground, making it even more vivid than when the setting sun shrouds it. The ravines in the sand texture are pure black, and the side facing the light is pure red, with winding and rugged patterns rising and falling.
The sand dunes looked extremely bloody and eerie in this place without any sign of life.
It was a bit too scary... They finally began to understand why the groom would say such scary things, and where the many terrible legends came from. In the ordinary desert they walked through, they could occasionally see crawling animals.
Snakes, lizards, dry tumbleweeds, dead branches, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see stone-like plants that are rich in water.
, or even an oasis. But so far, there is nothing here, only the endless cinnabar-like red, which makes people feel like they are wrapped in an invisible poison, and this poison is eroding their lives unknowingly.
It was so quiet, so quiet that there was nothing but the footsteps and breathing of a few people. In this environment, my own heartbeat
The sound seemed noisy.
But soon, they saw a light appear in front of them.
That must be the guidance of Lintian Master! Even though it was very difficult to walk on the sand, they still speeded up their pace. Someone stood in the vermilion desert, holding a lamp in his hand. The lamp drove away the shadows of the sand.
There is only pure red left around. There is a figure next to him, is it Shi Wuqi?
"etc--"
Han Chang took the lead in reaching out his hand and stopped several people around him.
"What's wrong?" Wenying asked breathlessly.
"Those are not Master Lintian and Master Baiskeleton."
Han Shang's tone was so determined and stern, and the words he spoke made them so flustered.
"Then, who is that...?"
The man holding the lamp slowly turned around.
"I knew you would come." The man said, "It's so lively..."
It was a woman's voice—a woman's voice they were familiar with.
