West Wind Oasis has a large area and is full of greenery as far as the eye can see.
Xifeng City, which stands in the oasis, is not too small. It has a population of 70,000 to 80,000 people. It is far from what Ouyang Xue described. It is just a small town in a remote area.
The oases are distributed in a fan shape and spread out on the Gobi Desert. They are like a huge piece of jasper, which is eye-catching from a long distance. It is also like a divine pen from heaven, dotting the desolation of the desert.
The tree species are mostly thorn trees with tall trunks, broad leaves hanging low, and dry bark. The top of the tree is full of pineapple-shaped fruits, which are delicious and refreshing, and can be said to be rich in fruit.
This kind of iron thorn fruit is the most common food in the desert. Liu Shuzhu and Scarface ate a lot of them on the way. The day and a half trip passed in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, it was close to an oasis and no sand pirates blocked the road.
.
"That's West Wind City."
In the oasis, buildings with round spires loomed in the field of vision. Ouyang Xue pointed there and said to Liu Shuzhu.
Liu Shuzhu's current identity is that of a descendant of a Buddhist monk. His status is aloof and stinky.
Although the identity of this 'lay disciple' has yet to be deduced, it is an indisputable fact that he possesses Buddhist treasures and saved everyone's lives. Even if everyone has doubts in their hearts, it is hard to ask him any more. Even if they ask, he
He looks so glib, but only one knows how much truth there is in his words!
In short, Fei Shan refused to believe those words even to death.
With Liu Shuzhu's cultivation and knowledge, let alone the divine monk, even the divine stick might not accept him as his apprentice!
"Liu Si, what are your plans after entering the city?" Ouyang Xue said tactfully, "If it is convenient, you can stay in Ouyang Mansion temporarily."
Liu Shuzhu had a shameless look on his face, pretending to be gracious and unable to resist, and exclaimed in surprise: "Is this...appropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate? You saved everyone's lives, and my brother will definitely repay you well."
Scarface secretly grabbed Liu Shuzhu's clothes and asked him to reject Ouyang Xue because she had an innate brother.
In Scarface's perception, a warrior with a first-level innate status is still a great master of martial arts with a high status!
Inertia determines thinking. For a long time, the Yongliang Mountain area has been shrouded in the shadow of the Grandmaster. For such a strong man, one will always feel a bit of awe!
Once the faker's identity is exposed, that rosary will be a good reason to kill.
As the saying goes, all gentlemen in ancient times are decent, and no treasure can capture people's hearts. It is also said that people die for money, and birds die for food!
In this case, Scarface can talk a lot.
Liu Shuzhu ignored him and readily agreed.
There is only Xifeng City nearby. Entering the city is unavoidable, and there is no other place to hide. The Ouyang Xue family has been operating here for two generations and is considered a wealthy family. In an unfamiliar situation, if you want to find someone or handle other matters
, we have to deal with each other after all.
Besides, hiding would seem guilty and passive. It would be better to just accept the invitation and come into the house, eat and drink for free and take advantage of it!
Approaching the city, you can see the white walls, red tiles, and domed square houses, revealing a different kind of prosperity. The regional differences are obvious and the scenery is very different. On the streets, caravans are passing by, wearing bows and arrows, and swords hanging on their waists. The folk customs are very popular.
The streets are full of fierce, acquired warriors who have not yet entered the bigu stage!
Ouyang's mansion is located in the east of Xifeng City. It has a high lintel, the word "Ouyang" engraved on the plaque, gold-lacquered stone pillars, and jade steps in front of the palace, showing its gorgeous style.
Liu Shuzhu secretly sighed: "Looks like he is a rich man."
Walking to the front door of the mansion, there stood a young man in his twenties, with a face as sharp as a knife, sword-like eyes and starry eyebrows, an outstanding posture, and a somewhat arrogant look on his face. This kind of arrogance in his bones cannot be concealed.
Extraordinarily eye-catching.
This person is Ouyang Xue's brother Ouyang Xiao.
Looking at it from Liu Shuzhu's point of view, at first glance, he is the kind of person who takes himself too seriously.
She is overly proud and has a strong sense of self-esteem. She pretends to be cool all day long, saying, "I am the only one in the world, but I will leave." In fact, I can't bear the blow at all. My heart is so fragile that it will break at a touch. I am worse than a girl.
"elder brother!"
Ouyang Xue jumped for joy, ran forward and threw herself into Ouyang Xiao's arms, showing the tenderness of her little daughter. The other big men led the three-humped camels into the house through the side door.
When Ouyang Xiao saw Ouyang Xue, his ice sculpture-like expression melted quickly. He stroked her forehead lovingly and scolded her angrily: "Didn't I agree not to let you follow me on the errand of transporting crystal sand? Why are you still so willful..."
Ouyang Xue didn't let him finish, she stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Don't I miss you?" At this time, her words, actions and gestures were consistent with her innocent age.
Fei Shan said from the side: "Young master, it's not Xue'er's fault. If you are, blame me..."
Ouyang Xiao frowned and locked the door of Feishan Mountain: "Are you injured?"
Seeing that most of the guards were languid, all of them were injured, and the number was half less than before, Ouyang Xiao immediately lowered his face and asked with concern: "What's going on?"
Ouyang Xue looked gloomy, while Fei Shan sighed: "Sand Bandit!"
Ouyang Xiao's eyebrows suddenly raised, murderous intent overflowing, showing a powerful aura. He hurriedly checked whether Ouyang Xue was injured, worried to the extreme: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine." Ouyang Xue suddenly said to him, "By the way. The sand bandits attacked, and the wind-shielding charm on my body was broken during the fight. Thanks to the two of them, we were lucky enough to escape."
Afterwards, Ouyang Xue picked up the key points and briefly explained the encounter with Liu Shuzhu. Ouyang Xiao then turned his eyes to Liu Shuzhu and the two, and returned to his expression of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"This Mr. Liu is the descendant of the Buddhist monk. If it weren't for him, you don't know where to find me. This Uncle Scar is his friend."
"The descendant of a Buddhist monk?"
The two of them seemed to be weak in cultivation, and neither of them had yet entered Bigu. When Ouyang Xue said this, Ouyang Xiao couldn't help but look at Fei Shan suspiciously, asking him for confirmation.
Fei Shan hesitated to speak and finally nodded.
Liu Shuzhu stood with a carefree attitude and looked directly at him without hesitation. When he met the sharp eyes of the innate strong man, he was calm and fearless. Although Scarface was usually fierce, after seeing the young 'Martial Arts Grand Master', he felt something in his heart.
But I can't help but feel uneasy.
Ouyang Xiao saw Fei Shan's expression and knew that he had something to say, so he didn't criticize him. He looked at Liu Shuzhu a few more times and didn't take him seriously at all. How could such a wild boy be a disciple of Buddhism?
?
However, he still smiled at Liu Shuzhu and said: "Since you are a benefactor, please go to the mansion to rest first. After washing away the wind and sand from your body, I will make a decision to thank you properly."
Liu Shuzhu didn't even bother to reply to him, and walked in half-armed with Scarface, muttering to himself: "That's pretty much it!"
There was a hint of compliment in Ouyang Xiao's words, but of course it was a false compliment.
In front of the innate warriors, the acquired warriors have no status at all. He has lost a lot of face by being so low-profile to an unworthy acquired boy. In his opinion, Liu Shuzhu should at least show that he is flattered.
Just be polite to him, that's what normal people do.
Liu Shuzhu just didn't know what was going on. He strode with great power and a high-spirited attitude. He didn't know where his confidence came from!
Ouyang Xiao frowned so much that even the young masters from the three major families would not have such an attitude when meeting him.
Ouyang Xue covered her mouth and snickered. Liu Shuzhu's character was bohemian, his face was full of carelessness and ruffianism, and his rogue eyes seemed to be able to speak: "Why, bite me if you have the ability!" It's strange to be lovable.
"Liu Si's temperament is a bit... special, but he is actually pretty good." She hurriedly put in good words for Liu Shuzhu.
Ouyang Xiao said 'hmm' and pinched her nose lightly: "Are you a little tired after all the hard work? Go and clean up first. How can our little princess act like a little beggar?"
After saying this, he said to Fei Shan, "Uncle Fei, come to my room and I will use my true energy to help you heal your injury."
In the mansion, a servant led Liu Shuzhu and two people forward.
Scarface was frightened. He was also surprised by Liu Shuzhu's bad attitude and cursed in a low voice:
"You little bastard, that's an innately powerful person, that's a great master of martial arts! You must have lost your mind. Why are you acting like a scoundrel? Don't forget that this is someone else's territory!"
Liu Shuzhu glared at him fiercely, lowered his voice and whispered: "You know what the hell, don't forget the young master's current identity! Once we see that the young master is a fake, our confidence will be gone. At that time, even if he doesn't reach out and ask us
If you want a treasure, you dare not deny it."
Ouyang Xiao is a powerful cultivator, so if he deliberately tries to get close to him in a low tone, it will make people even more suspicious. With the power of Buddhism in the desert, Liu Shuzhu's deliberately pretended attitude is not too excessive.
"I finally found a way to survive, but sooner or later I will still have to let you kill me!"
"Don't worry, I know what I know. When I was in Thieves Town, who would I punish, and who of you would be able to escape?"
Scarface thought the same thing - you are the only descendant of the peerless divine monk, what kind of awesome person have you not seen? Can you show your face to a small character who is just a genius?
However, Liu Shuzhu's behavior always makes people feel that he is simply heartless.
…
"You mean, he doesn't even understand the realm of martial arts, but he has the most precious Buddhist treasure to protect his body?"
In a room deep in the mansion, after Ouyang Xiao healed Fei Shan's injuries, he said to him in surprise.
"Yes."
After Xiang Zhenqi's conditioning, Feishan's injuries eased a lot.
"In short, I feel that there is not a word of truth in this boy's mouth. The so-called descendants of the divine monk are not very credible. He and the scarred man are both very humble in cultivation, but their external combat skills are very extraordinary. They must have been killed.
It's a lot of hard work. When fighting with others, as long as you don't use Bigu, you will almost have all the advantages!"
Fei Shan recounted the story of his encounter with Liu Shuzhu and Sha Tui's attack and death, including Liu Shuzhu's conversation and attitude, in great detail.
The suspicion on Ouyang Xiao's face became even worse: "This is strange. He knows nothing about the world around him, so why does he dare to say that he is a descendant of a divine monk?"
Even Fei Shan couldn't figure this out. He hesitated and said to Ouyang Xiao: "Master, if we are not ungrateful, that scarred man is obviously an accomplice of the sand bandits, and their identities need to be considered...
"
Ouyang Xiao said: "What do you want to say?"
Fei Shan took a deep breath, his expression was a little strange, and his voice was much lowered.
"That rosary is indeed a Buddhist treasure. If my guess is correct, it should be an imperial weapon!"
"What!" Ouyang Xiao stood up and exclaimed, "Are you sure?"
Weapons that are sacrificed by innate warriors are called spiritual weapons. Spiritual weapons are divided into seven levels, starting from the innate third-level heaven realm, and so on, up to the ninth-level heaven.
The higher the grade of the spiritual weapon, the greater its power. When activated with full force, it can break mountains and crack rocks, move peaks and fill valleys. It is a great reliance for innate warriors when fighting against enemies!
Although Ouyang Xiao is an innately powerful person, he has never had a spiritual weapon of his own.
Generally speaking, a first-grade spiritual weapon carefully forged by a third-level heavenly warrior can usually be sold for more than 100,000 crystal coins. With his current family fortune, his father has recently passed away, and the mining expenses are not small, so it is inevitable that he is stretched thin and cannot afford it.
!
However, the seventh-grade spiritual weapon is not the most precious treasure in the world. It is like having true martial arts above the innate world. The most precious treasure that was cultivated by a strong true martial artist with his life is the imperial weapon mentioned by Fei Shankou!
The Martial Emperor revered him, his status was second only to the Martial Emperor, and he was also revered as a god by the innate warriors. The imperial weapons were extremely powerful, and once they appeared in this world, the innate warriors would go crazy for them!
"That formation is really not small. It is accompanied by the sound of Buddha, and there is no use of true energy to trigger or motivate it. The great power displayed, even if it is not an imperial weapon, must be a seventh-grade spiritual weapon!" Fei Shan said with a determined expression.
"Young Master, the three major families all have spiritual weapon shock scenes. If we get this treasure..."
"Stop talking about it now!" Ouyang Xiao suddenly interrupted Fei Shan, "Send someone to keep a close eye on the two of them. Just don't let them leave the house, and don't disturb them. Go ahead, tell everyone about the rosary.
No external news allowed!"
Once the outside world learns that there may be an imperial weapon in the Ouyang Mansion, even with the power of the three major families, they may not be able to preserve it!
Liu Shuzhu is the savior of Ouyang Xue and others. Ouyang Xiao always has some grudges in his heart about killing people and seizing treasures, but when faced with a treasure that is likely to be an imperial weapon, who can remain unmoved?
If they could take it as their own, the elders of the second-level heavenly clan from the three major families in Xifeng City could do no more than that!
