The yellow sand stretches out thousands of miles, and the sky and the earth are filled with thousands of colors.
The croaking snake flies above the blue sky, and beneath its feet is the endless expanse of desert sand. The wind blows the sand dunes, and at first glance, they look like tides and the sea. And in this huge sea of sand, there are all kinds of sand dunes as far as the eye can see.
Desolate, only the figure of the singing snake with its wings reflected on the yellow sand by the sun.
After defeating the "Soul Evil" Emperor Slave that day and seizing the Water Xuan Scale, one of the "Four Life Weapons", Xiaozhu, Gui Haiming, Bi Fei and Lu Ling bid farewell to Lingsheng and his grandson and left.
Tongli Town flew to the desert outside the Great Wall to search for traces of the "Wild Dust Blade" and Venerable Yinglong. However, the Snake hovered in the desert for several hours, but could not detect any changes in spiritual energy or find any clues.
At this time, the sun was blazing, but fortunately Gui Haiming spread its wings and cast a shadow for the three people sitting on its back. Perhaps because of the hot weather, everyone closed their chat boxes. Even the ones who had always said nothing
Lu Ling's mouth was pursed at this time, as if he was holding back something to say, but he didn't say a word.
Suddenly the snake hissed, and Xiaozhu followed the sound, and his eyes suddenly lit up: he saw a crescent-shaped clear spring in the vast sand and dust, with green trees beside the water, and dozens of them propped up under the tree.
The colorful tents look like an oasis village.
"Let's go there to rest for a while and wait until the noon sun has passed before we leave?" Lu Ling suddenly broke the silence and suggested.
As a warrior in the Crossing Sin Valley, Lu Ling often eats and sleeps in the open. How can the scorching sun hinder her pace? Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming both understand that Lu Ling's suggestion is entirely for Bi Fei. In the past few days, Bi Fei has offered sacrifices several times.
After losing his spiritual power, his cultivation level was greatly damaged, and now he is physically weak, not even as good as an ordinary person.
With a flash of silver light, the snake cut through the sky, swooped down, and landed in the Gobi desert not far from the spring oasis. The four of them stepped on the long yellow sand and stepped into the green little place.
In a small village, patches of Elaeagnus trees form a green barrier, with light yellow flowers dotted on the branches, bringing life to this barren desert. In the center of the village, a clear spring is shaped like a crescent moon, and the water is clear and clear.
You can see the bottom. Several children were playing by the water. They stepped on the yellow sand with their bare feet, waving Elaeagnus angustifolia branches in their hands, and shouted "Drive, drive" from time to time.
"Look at my sweaty horse, it's definitely the fastest!" It was a little boy with a shaved head. He looked about eight or nine years old. He was at the age where cats are disgusted with dogs.
His "sweat-blooded BMW" was just a broomstick clamped under his crotch. He shook his head and swung his head happily, as if he was really riding a BMW horse, traveling thousands of miles a day.
"Tch," the friend opposite loudly booed him, "what's the use of horses? Mommy said, horses can't run fast here, only camels are the most useful! In the future, I will raise a lot of camels.
There are so many of them!"
As he said that, the boy with a braid that reached the sky stretched out his hands and made a gesture of "many, many, many". "Shou Taotouer" was immediately unconvinced. He swung the branch hard and pretended to be a trick.
The horse was in a whip-raising posture, shouting "ta-da-da", and walked back and forth around its companions, then stopped with a "hu--":
"Your grandma can't even read a few Chinese characters. What can she understand? My sister is better than me. She can read to me. The book says that my bloody horse is faster than a camel and it is not afraid of sand!"
The children's argument caused a burst of laughter from the adults in the tent nearby. The curtain of the tent was opened, and a picturesque and extraordinary beauty walked out. She was dressed in purple, looked to be in her early twenties, and had long hair.
Her hair is tied up high, and although it is a simple ponytail style, it makes her facial features even more beautiful. She is not only beautiful, but also has a hint of heroism.
"Aguang, what nonsense are you talking about? Please apologize to Xiaoda and Grandma Da." It seems that this beauty is the "Ajie" mentioned by "Shou Taotouer".
The boy known as "Aguang" curled his lips and muttered "I'm telling the truth", but in the end he obeyed his sister's instructions and turned to look at his little friend: "Hey, it's me.
Wrong, I will never say that your grandma is illiterate again."
After saying that, he turned to look at his sister, as if waiting for her judgment. The girl smiled and nodded, and her white and slender fingers gently patted the back of A Guang's head.
Punishment is actually very light.
The appearance of the girl shocked Xiaozhu and others: a powerful and abundant spiritual energy emerged from the girl's body. After careful analysis, it was found that the spiritual energy came from a scimitar hanging on the girl's waist. The scimitar was small and exquisite, and the knife
The scabbard is made of silver and studded with dove blood red gems. A pattern of gold wire surrounds the gems, depicting beautiful patterns on the scabbard.
This scimitar is actually the artifact that Master Xuan Qi showed in his illusion - the Wild Dust Blade!
They had gone through all the iron shoes to find it, and it took no effort to get it. Who would have thought that the artifact they were looking for would appear right in front of them. Everyone was overjoyed, and Lu Ling even walked out of the shade of the Elaeagnus tree and went straight to the girl.
He clasped his fists and said loudly: "Girl, may I ask you where this scimitar comes from? Can you lend it to me for a while?"
Only then did the girl notice the four people under the tree, and she looked surprised for a moment. But the next moment, she calmed down, smiled and saluted everyone, and said: "Are you all travelers passing by? Our village has been here for several years.
I have never been here before, so I was startled just now. As for this scimitar, it is a family heirloom given by my father, so I cannot lend it out, so I am really sorry."
Since it is a family heirloom, it cannot be given to strangers for viewing. Just when Lu Ling was in trouble, the curtain of the tent was opened again, and seven or eight people came out, including men and women, old and young.
The leader was a silver-haired old man. Her face was wrinkled, her back was slightly hunched, and she was holding a cane in her hand. She smiled at Xiaozhu and the others:
"Young men, are you going to cross the Gobi? Everyone who comes here is a visitor. Our village is isolated from the world. We haven't seen outsiders in seven years. Why don't you just rest here for a night and treat us well?"
Talk about it, how is life outside? If you don’t smoke, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and entertain the guests."
Faced with this kind gesture, Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming first looked at each other. The two secretly used their spiritual power to investigate, and found that no one present had any demonic aura at all, except for the "Desolate Dust Blade" worn by the girl, which had spiritual power fluctuations.
, there was nothing unusual about the village or the villagers. After confirming this, Xiaozhu felt relieved. She smiled and saluted the old man and said: "It is better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you for your hospitality."
Under the guidance of the girl called "Feiyan", Xiaozhu and the four of them walked into the tent and sat on the woolen tapestry. The little boy named "Aguang" probably fell in love with Gui
Hai Ming's Panlong Spear, with its big eyes and bright eyes, took action. He first imitated his sister's actions and served a bowl of goat's milk to the guests, and then took the opportunity to secretly touch the spear. He thought his actions were
He was unaware of it, but he didn't know that his little actions had long been seen by the adults, but they just didn't expose them.
"Sorry, my brother is just a little naughty and made you laugh." The girl apologized.
"That's because Feiyan is too spoiled by you," said an aunt wearing a headscarf next to her with a smile. "You have to make him suffer before he learns to behave."
The girl's eyes moved, she glanced at the aunt, and smiled slightly: "It is important to be well-behaved, but it is natural for children to have children's personalities and love to play and move. If adults do whatever they say, just like puppets on strings, then
Where is the heart of a child? Although Aguang is naughty and sometimes a little noisy, he is kind-hearted and never does anything harmful to others. As long as he is friendly to others and does not do evil things, why should I impose restrictions?
"
The aunt seemed to be choked by what she said. After a long while, she said awkwardly: "Feiyan, you are just protecting your shortcomings...that's all. Your surname is Mu, you come from a scholarly family, you know a lot of things, I mean
But you."
The girl raised her lips and smiled, waving to Aguang. The little boy immediately ran over and sat cross-legged next to his sister. This time he really didn't speak obediently. When the family sat down, he sat at the head seat.
The old man spoke again and asked: "Everyone, may I ask if the Yinglong Rebellion can be solved? Are the people of Huizhou at peace?"
Previously, he heard the aunt talking about the "Mu" family from a scholarly family, and now he heard the word "Huizhou" again. Bi Fei suddenly had an idea and asked in surprise: "Could it be... the Mu family in Huizhou?"
"Huizhou Mu Family? Is it famous?" Seeing Bifei's surprised look, Lu Ling couldn't help but wonder. She lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.
"Junior Sister Lu, you are crossing the Sin Valley in the north of China. I have probably never heard of this story," Bi Fei explained. "Back then, Yinglong and Xiangliu fought against each other in the East China Sea, which caused huge waves and harmed the Jiangnan area. The people were forced to leave their homes and go to the south of the Yangtze River.
Fleeing to the northwest, a large number of refugees gathered in Huizhou City. Seven years ago, due to the Yinglong Rebellion, heavy rains continued, and no crops were harvested. Starvation and death were everywhere in and around Huizhou City. The situation was extremely tragic, and there were even rumors of cannibalism. Huizhou at that time
The city official's surname was 'Mu' and his given name was 'Zhicheng'. Lord Mu couldn't bear the hunger and cold of the people, so he ordered the granaries to be opened and the official rations reserved by the court were distributed to the people and refugees to meet their urgent needs..."
At this point, Bi Fei sighed softly: "This was originally a good thing to save people from fire and water, but it led to a disaster of death. The court was furious and investigated Master Mu Zhichengmu for the crime of secretly releasing official rations. In order to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys,
To prevent others from following suit, the severity of the punishments back then was simply outrageous. The imperial court not only removed Muda from his official position and beheaded him in public, but also brought disaster to the nine tribes. Three generations of his family were exiled outside the Great Wall..."
"Bah, what the hell is this? A good person is brutally killed, is there any justice in this?!" Before Bifei could finish speaking, Lu Ling was already slapping the table in anger.
Bi Fei turned to look at the old man in the seat, clasped his fists and said: "Back then, there were rumors that the Mu family was attacked by a pack of wolves on their way to exile outside the Great Wall, and the family was destroyed. When this news came out, the people of Huizhou were extremely sad.
, some people even voluntarily put on mourning to show their condolences. I never thought that the relatives and family members of the Mu family would settle down in this desert oasis. It can be regarded as a kind of shelter in the dark. "
After hearing what he said, the girl named "Mu Feiyan"'s eyes moved. She said nothing, just raised her arm and gently touched the back of her brother Aguang's head. But the little boy beside her was already pressing his hand.
Unable to bear it, he looked at Bi Fei curiously with his big black eyes, and said eagerly:
"Uncle, what is the outside world like? Is it like what is written in the book? There are tall and tall mountain peaks and green fields? What we have here is nothing but sand. It's so boring. I'm fine.
I want to go to the village and see what the mountains are like..."
"That's enough, Aguang!" The white-haired old woman knocked the crutch in her hand, interrupting the boy's words, "Now our family is rooted here by Qingyue Spring, living a life without fighting against the world. This has already happened.
It’s God’s will that has favored our Mu family. Don’t mention the matter of leaving the village again.”
Being scolded by grandma, Xiao Mu Guang curled his lips and said nothing angrily. He just buried his head in the arms of his sister beside him. Mu Feiyan quickly smoothed things over and said, "Grandma, yes
The guests have come from afar, so let’s not mention the troubles we had in the past. Tonight is a village festival for you distinguished guests, so how about I invite you to stay one night and celebrate together?”
Seeing that the "Desolate Dust Blade" was in Mu Feiyan's hands, Xiaozhu and the others originally planned to stay and wait for the chance, in case Master Ying Long came to seize the artifact. Now that the other party invited them, they naturally wanted it, so they agreed wholeheartedly.
