The land of Huangzhou is filled with outstanding people, talented people, beautiful scenery, and abundant trees...Okay! None of these are right.
In fact, Huangzhou is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, close to the Sea of Fire, with extremely high temperatures all year round and very little rainfall, making it difficult for vegetation and life to survive.
To put it more bluntly, it is basically a barren land where birds do not lay eggs and chickens do not poop. The earth is a desert, the sun is terrible, and the sky is full of yellow sand.
The people here have skin like cowhide, and they seem to be able to sharpen knives, precisely because the wind and sand here are so strong.
The scorching sun, yellow sand, strong wind, everything is destroying the life here. Except for a few tenacious races, only humans can survive.
Due to the barren land, the area is vast and sparsely populated, and there are often no people for thousands of miles around. It is also extremely difficult for the Huang family to manage.
But outside this endless forest, a huge city has risen. Of course, this huge city also has a good reputation, and its momentum is only a little bigger than Qingliu City.
Business travels, adventurers gather, powerful people come and go, and there are naturally many escort agencies...here, it has its own rules.
When Gu Que walked out of the yellow sand in the sky, a wooden mask appeared on his face.
His face is probably unknown to everyone. Wearing a mask and keeping a low profile will save you a lot of trouble.
His sleeves are empty and his body is unarmed. Even though his back is straight, it is inevitable that some blind robbers will come to look for trouble.
It's just that the ending was not very good. Gu Que just glanced at them, and each of his bodies was pierced. If he hadn't been merciful, these low-level bandits would have been wiped out long ago.
This is called Yellowstone City because the city wall is made of pieces of yellowstone and because there is a forest of yellowstone outside the city.
The city gate is very simple, but the defense is very tight. Soldiers wearing iron armor gathered on the city tower, exposed to the scorching sun, sweating profusely, but still looking cold.
Gu Que couldn't help but secretly nod. In such a hot weather, wearing heavy armor, eyes wet with sweat without changing color, this willpower is indeed enough.
He strode closer, and hundreds of soldiers were already rushing out from the city gate a hundred feet away, surrounding him.
A loud shout suddenly spread throughout the land: "Who is coming!"
Along with the sound, a young man in white clothes and a jade crown rode out at high speed on a divine white horse. The horse's hoofs stepped on the yellow sand and rolled up the dust all over the sky.
This man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and was handsome in appearance, exuding a hint of arrogance. He pulled out a long knife from his waist, and the sharp blade pointed straight at the sky with a cold light.
In such a hot weather, with such heavy yellow sand, wearing brocade clothes and jade satin can be considered thoughtful.
Gu Que frowned slightly, looked at the young man, and said calmly: "The surname is Gu, and there is one missing character in the name."
Not wanting to cause more trouble, Gu Que used the fake name he had used when he was in Shendu Academy. This name was not famous anyway.
The young man let out a sigh, and the white horse stood up straight, then stomped heavily on the ground, and the yellow sand rolled directly towards Gu Que.
Gu Que's pupils shrank, but he waved his right hand to block the yellow sand.
The young man in white narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Que and said coldly: "Gu Que? Where are you from? Why are you wearing a mask!"
Gu Que's heart sank, and he said slowly: "I come from the endless forest, and my face is hateful. I dare not show it to others easily."
The young man in white was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he said in a cold voice: "I just said that he is not from Huangshi City. A ban was issued here a month ago, and no one is allowed to go out. What are you doing in Huangshi City?
"
Ban? A month ago?
Gu Que suddenly thought of something and said directly: "Why is there a ban? Could it be because someone died?"
The face of the young man in white suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Come on! Get it for me!"
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of soldiers around him immediately came towards Gu Que with their halberds in hand and killed him at high speed.
"slow!"
Gu Que shouted violently, with a trace of vitality, and an indescribable temperament radiated from him, like a long sword unsheathed, which actually stopped hundreds of soldiers.
Gu Que narrowed his eyes and said, "Excuse me, what crime did I commit that I directly attacked and captured you?"
The young man in white sneered: "You said you come from the Endless Forest, but you know that there have been recent deaths in Huangshi City. Do you think you are the murderous demon?"
The murderous demon? Gu Que suddenly sneered in his heart. It seemed that this old woman had come out of the endless forest and finally started killing people again.
Gu Que chuckled and said, "No, I'm just guessing."
The young man in white shook his head and said: "No one would guess that someone died here. You are either the murderous demon or you are related to it."
Gu Que immediately sneered and said: "What a brilliant judgment and reasoning skills, I admire you."
Of course the young man in white could understand the irony of this sentence, and said in a cold voice: "In the past month, the caravan has lost seventeen people, and the death toll has reached more than six hundred. People in the city know that it is possible that the wind and rain will change, but an outsider
It is absolutely impossible for anyone to know!”
Gu Que shook his head and said: "I have indeed seen that murderous demon walking all the way from the Endless Forest. She slaughtered too many lives, so I ask this."
The young man in white squinted his eyes and said, "Ha! You followed the devil, but the devil didn't kill you. Who do you think you are?"
Gu Que finally understood the frustration of talking to an idiot, so he simply closed his eyes and strode towards him.
The face of the young man in white changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Do you still dare to attack me?"
As he spoke, he lifted the reins, and the white divine horse immediately rushed towards Gu Que, and the sword of the young man in white suddenly slashed downwards, making a whining wind, and a bright sword light swept out in an instant.
The knife was very fast and his moves were very skillful. Gu Que stretched out two fingers and clamped it gently. No matter how hard the young man in white struggled, he could not break free.
His face changed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Gu Que used gentle force to break the long, sharp knife.
The blade fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, which seemed to ring in the young man's heart and made him tremble.
The wind and sand filled the sky, and the wooden mask on Gu Que's face was lifelike. He said calmly: "Use the money you spent on clothes to buy a better knife."
As he spoke, he walked forward slowly and continued: "If I were a murderous demon, the knife I just cut off wouldn't be your knife."
It's the neck that's broken!
The young man in white gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, and said sternly: "You will pay the price for your actions!"
Gu Que frowned slightly and couldn't help but slowly shook his head. He came to Huangzhou to do something very important, and he didn't want to get involved in such inexplicable disputes. But since trouble is coming for him, the big deal...
.Just kill him.
Walking into the city gate step by step, perhaps the young man in white did not give the order, so the soldiers did not stop him.
Walking in, I finally saw the scenery of Yellowstone City. In fact, it was not a city at all, it was just a low-level town. It was just that the place was big enough and there were enough people.
The building is very simple and short, with the highest one only having three floors. Of course, it is related to the sandstorm, but it is too poor here.
The streets were very messy, with many stalls and shacks set up haphazardly. Most of the items sold were weapons, but of course there were also cloth and clothing.
Only there is no food. Food and water are extremely precious things here.
There are many people walking on the street. Women are wrapped tightly, while men open their clothes or even don't wear a shirt at all.
The harsh climate has formed a unique culture, but of course the gap between rich and poor is huge.
A fat man with a height of only five feet was wearing a bright red brocade dress. The fat made the clothes outline circles, and the flesh on his belly almost hung down to his knees.
The face is far away, and the fat almost squeezes out the eyes and nose, but the mouth is as big as a catfish, almost cracked to the base of the ear.
His skin is very white, and he can maintain such fair skin in this climate. This fat man certainly has a high status.
After all, he looks very rich. He wears a dozen large gold chains around his neck, jade rings and rings on his fat fingers, top-quality jade bracelets on his wrists, and a large jade belt around his waist.
.....
Every piece of jewelry is priceless, and every part of the body seems to declare four words - I am rich.
He didn't bring any followers, but Gu Que could clearly see that he didn't know any martial arts, so everyone stayed away when they saw him, for fear of provoking others.
Gu Que frowned because the fat man was walking towards him step by step.
There was a smile on his face, his eyes and nose looked smaller, and his mouth looked bigger. He ran to his side, already panting from exhaustion.
Sweating profusely, he looked at Gu Que and said excitedly: "I finally found you!"
Gu Que couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his wooden mask to make sure that his face was completely covered, and then he couldn't help but ask: "Are you looking for me?"
Before the fat man could recover, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes! I have been looking for you for a long time. I knew you were a person when Chu Du Canglong was born seven years ago. I have always wanted to find you, but you changed places too quickly.
I can't keep up with you at all."
Gu Que's pupils tightened for a while, and there was already a chill in his eyes.
The fat man continued: "Later, I heard that you killed Xuanyuan Chen, the prince of the God Clan, and was beaten to death by Xuanyuan Kuang, the king of the four directions, on the spot. I was sad for a long time."
When Gu Que heard this, his hair stood on end and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The fat man said: "But who would have thought that four years later, the tomb of Fazu would undergo drastic changes, and news about you would come out again. I almost stopped crying when I heard it."
Gu Que's face began to turn pale and his figure began to retreat.
The fat man said loudly: "I heard that you defeated the coalition forces of the Six Dynasties, but I was so happy. I was about to go to the Sin Forest to find you, but I didn't expect you to appear on my territory! I miss you so much!"
As he spoke, he actually hugged Gu Que directly.
Gu Que's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but quickly stepped back a few feet, feeling horrified and fearful at the same time, because the other party obviously knew his identity, because... this person seemed to be a gay!
"You, who are you!"
Gu Que couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "How do you know my identity? I asked myself that my aura is pretty good, so why are you looking for me?"
The fat man chuckled and couldn't help but said: "No, don't be nervous, my name is Hongyun, a native of Huangshi City, a person who lacks everything."
Not lacking anything? Gu Que sneered in his heart and narrowed his eyes: "How do you know my identity? And why are you looking for me?"
Hongyun said hurriedly: "I will answer these two questions at the same time. I am such a person! I am born with such great luck. I seem to be able to get whatever I want. Even if it is impossible to get it, there will be various coincidences that allow me to succeed.
...I know your identity because your misfortune is so severe, and I can see a person's luck."
Gu Que's brows suddenly furrowed. Apart from this reason, he couldn't imagine why the fat man in front of him could see his identity. He clearly has no martial arts and even his Dantian is dry."
Hongyun said again: "The reason I came to you is because I want to ask you for a favor."
Gu Que sneered: "Since you have nothing to gain, what else do you need my help with?"
Fatty Hongyun smiled bitterly and said, "Please see if you can kill me?" (To be continued)
