"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Xia." Lin Xiao said.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet what you saw in that sweet dream of the snow girl. I kept you awake for a long time," Miss Xia said.
"Uh, this." Lin Xiao said.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Miss Xia said.
"Miss Xia, it's not that I deliberately concealed it. It's just that the reason is hard to explain clearly. I'll give it some time and I'll clarify my thoughts to the girl, okay?" Lin Xiao said.
"Okay, it's settled." Miss Xia said.
"What are the girl and the young master talking about? They are so happy."
"Just telling some jokes." Lin Xiao said.
"Speaking of jokes, Sister Mu, have you ever seen a pig shake its head?"
"I haven't seen it, but I will see it soon. Master, have you seen it?" Murong said.
"I've never seen a pig shake its head before?"
"Pigs can not only shake their heads, but they can also talk." Murong said.
"Hahaha."
"It turns out you are actually making fun of me."
"I didn't expect that someone would fall for such an old trick." Miss Xia said with a smile.
"Brother Huangpu, Brother Jiang, have you ever seen a pig shaking its head?" Lin Xiao said.
"No, what happened?"
"Did you see something strange again?"
"Why don't you shake your head?" Lin Xiao said.
"Okay, young master, it doesn't matter if you are the only one who gets hit. We won't laugh at you."
"That's it." Huangpu said.
"Haha." Murong said.
"Are you angry?" Miss Xia said.
"The atmosphere was a bit dull along the way. Thanks to Miss Xia, everyone finally smiled," Lin Xiao said.
"Well, no, it's you who made them laugh." Miss Xia said.
"You, the eldest young master, are really different from other young masters."
"It's time to set off. If we rest, it will get dark and it will be inconvenient for us to find a place to rest."
Everyone walked for a while.
"What's going on? It's still afternoon, why is there such a heavy fog?" Lin Xiao said.
"There are many elves and ghosts in the mountains, don't you think so?"
"Could it be another monster like Yuki-onna?"
"Look, what's over there?" Miss Xia said.
"That's right." Lin Xiao said.
"Brother Jiang."
"Don't go there, lest you get caught in the road again."
"If it is really a monster, I will definitely kill him without mercy." Huang Pu said.
"They say a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, otherwise we should go back the way we came and find another way to cross the mountain." Miss Xia said.
"Okay." Lin Xiao said.
"What's wrong."
"It's hard to get through."
"Who is this demon who is trying to make something mysterious?"
"It seems we can only move forward," Murong said.
'I'm at the front.'
"How can you be in danger when you go crazy in front of me? I will clear the way. How can a member of my Huangpu family stand behind her and ask someone to protect her?" Huangpu said.
"Young Master Huangpu." Jiang Cheng said.
"What is this?" Miss Xia said.
"What this thing reflects seems to be a map of China."
"Haha, this thing is really interesting. By the way, where is the Loulan that the young master wanted to go to at the beginning?"
"is it here?"
Miss Xia clicked lightly, but she didn't expect that the land would rise into the sky.
Flying towards the sky, a flying dragon appeared in the sky.
When a few people came to their senses, they were already in the desert.
"Uncle."
"came back?"
"Uncle, I encountered something when I went down the mountain this time. The details are too complicated. Please read this letter," Ling Yin said.
"Oh, what is this note?"
"Did you meet him at the foot of the mountain?"
"Let me take a look."
"Original
Now, what happened to Zhejian Villa?"
"Is it okay, uncle?"
"Don't worry, he has already written to inform you that everything must be under control. It's been a hard work for you going down the mountain this time, so just go down and rest." Straw mushroom said.
"It seems that disaster is coming, let's just wait and see what happens."
This side.
"Crow Zui, are you okay?"
"There is still energy." Miss Xia said.
Murong said: "Sister, is everything okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine." Miss Xia said.
"Is this a desert?" Murong asked.
"Why doesn't he wake up?" Miss Xia said.
"How about it."
"It seems like there's nothing serious." Jiang Cheng said.
After a while, Lin Xiao got up.
"I feel so dizzy."
"Did you hit something?"
"Just move slowly and it'll be fine."
"It's probably just a blockage of Qi and blood."
"It's fine if nothing happens. This guy only has his head to work with. If he falls down, he'll be doomed." Miss Xia said.
"What was in the cloud just now?" Huang Pu said.
"By the way, I saw that purple flying dragon flying through the clouds."
"I remember that there were many strange beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and they were extremely huge. The one we encountered may be one of them, but it's a pity that we didn't see it clearly just now." Lin Xiao said.
"Also, I don't know the origin of the huge stone we are sitting on. It is said that the Wulin earth veins converged with Pangu's heart, gathering the aura of heaven and earth to form a suspended mountain. I wonder if this pumice stone has anything to do with it."
"He started showing off his strange knowledge again, but it seems that his head is broken." Miss Xia said.
"Everyone, we're in trouble. I looked around. We probably fell in the desert."
"Desert!?" Huangpu said.
Well, there is desert all around and no one can be seen. Murong said.
"Oops, there's not enough water in the desert, I'm afraid."
"You are in such a bad situation because of your recklessness," Huangpu said.
"I'm sorry, I was just curious."
"It's useless to talk about it now," Huangpu said.
"I admit that I was wrong, what else do you want from me?"
"Brother Huangpu, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Miss Xia. Who can think that we have encountered such a mysterious thing? No one can predict the current situation." Lin Xiao said.
"What you said makes sense." Huangpu said, "If I had been more cautious at the time, I would have been wrong in this matter. I take back what I just said."
"However, you should be careful when encountering unknown things, but you have hastily activated the mechanism, and you seem to be overly indulgent to her, which will only make her less progress." Huangpu said.
"You! Just be good and I deserve death, Master Huangpu."
'Okay, now we still have to imagine how to get out of the predicament. Our water and dry food have fallen into nowhere. We can't hold on for long if this continues.'
"When I fell, I saw some buildings in the distance to the northwest. Let's go over and see if there might be water and food there," Jiang Cheng said.
"Well, that's all we can do now," Murong said.
"Miss Xia, slow down and wait for us." Lin Xiao said.
"Haha, Sister Xia is angry. You'd better keep close to her and don't let her get lost." Murong said, "Let's go too."
"Why are you angry? Am I wrong?" Huang Pu said.
"Oasis! There is an oasis!" Huangpu said.
"There is a resting place ahead, so hurry up."
"I'm finally relieved," Murong said.
"Is there water in the oasis? Let's hurry up." Miss Xia said.
At this time, Lin Xiao fainted.
"Crow Mouth, what's wrong with you?"
the other side.
"Haha, that guy was driven away, and he will be here today too."
"Ah, senior brother, have a good rest, Shushan Road
The commander said you need to rest for a while, I’m going out first,”
"Retreat? I was so excited that I couldn't stop. It's a pity that I didn't see Jiang Cheng, a bastard like you, with a face like a lost dog. It's really an advantage for you to just kick you out of the school this time." Xiao Changfeng said.
"If you really hate him so much, why not help me plunge him into despair."
The mysterious man in black suddenly appears.
"Can't move, who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Haha, you'll know it soon."
Xiao Changfeng fainted.
‘Don’t worry, your wish will come true. Jiang Cheng has betrayed his relatives and abandoned his relatives. There will no longer be a place for him in this world.’ The mysterious man said.
"Huangpu Yiming, I'm giving you such a great gift, so don't let me down, hehehe."
"Eldest brother? Was that you just now? Ah! Eldest brother, what are you doing! Someone, come quickly!"
Several people came to the oasis.
"You're awake." Miss Xia said.
"Where are we? What's wrong with me?" Lin Xiao said.
"This is an oasis in the desert. Remember, you fainted while walking yesterday."
"Young Master Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm still a little dizzy," Lin Xiao said.
"You should have told me if you were not feeling well, otherwise Anjiang people would be scared to death if you fainted all of a sudden. Fortunately, Brother Jiang said you probably just had heatstroke," Miss Xia said.
"Miss Xia, I'm really sorry. I don't go out often and I'm a drag on you." Lin Xiao said.
"It's not like it's a drag. It was Brother Jiang who carried you here."
"This is nothing. If it weren't for the two people over there, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to wake up now." Jiang Cheng said.
"Go over and thank them."
"Is the eldest master feeling better?" Murong said.
"Much better, thank you."
"If you can return to the Central Plains smoothly this time, you must practice martial arts more, just to keep fit if nothing else." Huang Pu said.
"What Brother Huangpu said is true, but I have nothing to fear with you here."
"You only know how to rely on others. What do you do when you are alone?"
"At that time, I was just adapting to the situation." "Hey," Huangpu said.
"Who are these two?"
"This is Taoist Master Lingbo from Shushan, and the other is Young Master Long Minglong."
"Taoist Master Lingbo is proficient in medical treatment. She gave you a pill."
"Thank you both for your help."
"Young Master is serious, your Excellency is just suffering from some heat. You really deserve the kindness of saving your life."
"Well, you don't need to be polite, sir."
"Speaking of which, we met a Taoist priest Ling Yin at the sword tasting competition at Zhejian Villa before. I wonder if he has something to do with Taoist priest Ling Bo," Murong said.
"Ling Yin, she is my sister-in-law."
"Oh, that's really fate." Long Ming said: "I heard that in the past ten years, the martial arts world in the Central Plains has gradually retreated from the south to the north, and it seems that only the four major aristocratic families in the martial arts world are like this." Long Ming said.
"Could it be that these two young masters are nobles from these four great families?
"Haha, these two are the young masters of the Huangpu family and the Lin family."
"I am extremely honored to meet the two young masters."
"Don't dare."
"Ashamed."
"I heard that some of them were carried here by a flying rock."
"This is what happened." Murong said.
Ling Bo: "Shu Mountain is suspended in the air by borrowing the spiritual power of Pangu's heart. I didn't expect that there are other strange rocks floating in the air. The world is so big, and there are indeed all kinds of strange rocks."
"I have experienced such catastrophes several times and have been safe and sound. I am really blessed by God."
"It's the blessing of the nobles. If we hadn't met you, we might have died of thirst here." Miss Xia said.
"I hope you will reflect carefully and not act so recklessly in the future," Huangpu said.
"Brother Huangpu, don't mention this matter again."
"Forget it again." Huang Pu said.
"Master Long and Miss Lingbo, are both planning to go to Loulan?" Murong said.
/"That's right, Loulan is in front of you."
"Loulan was once the ancient capital of Loulan Kingdom and the largest city in this desert. As a necessary place for trade in the Western Regions, it was once very prosperous. Later, it gradually declined due to the increasing preference for water sources." Lin Xiao said.
"After the fall of the Loulan Kingdom, I heard that the survivors of Loulan, who once moved from other places, occupied a corner of the old city and continued to live here." Lin Xiao said.
"Young Master Lin, you are truly knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
"Don't dare."
"The Lin family runs a jade business and has some dealings with Hu merchants from the Western Regions. These are all based on hearsay."
"We also got a blessing in disguise this time." Lin Xiao said.
"Could it be that some of you are also going to Loulan?" Mr. Long said.
"I had this plan, but gave up because of the long distance. Now by some strange combination of circumstances, I ended up near Loulan City. It's really God's will."
"How many of you came to Loulan because of that rumor?"
"It is said that since the past few years, the ancient city of Loulan has lost all contact with Waimina for some reason. Whether it is the merchants passing by or the people in the ancient city, they have never returned, and there is no news." Lingbo said.
"It's like being swallowed up by this city."
"I've never heard of this," Murong said.
"Such a strange thing happened." Lin Xiao said.
"You get excited when you hear strange things. Haven't you suffered enough?" Miss Xia said.
"That's what those two are here for."
"Shuah Shan has always been responsible for slaying demons and protecting the common people. If the strange things here are caused by some demon, Taoist Lingbo and I naturally cannot stand by and watch." Long Ming said.
"Since this place is not peaceful, let's go back." Jiang Cheng said.
"Then let's distribute some supplies to a few of them."
"No, let's go together too." Huangpu said.
"Walking in the desert is different from other places. If you don't have a guide and a camel, you can't go out. It's better to go to Loulan and find a guide, horses, and camels," he said.
"Then I'll bother Taoist Master Ling Bo and Master Long Ming. We'll go together." Lin Xiao said.
"I am willing to serve." Mr. Long said.
Everyone came to Loulan.
Entered this city.
"Why is there no one there?"
"Is it true that there are no people on the street in broad daylight?" Murong said.
'Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, so everyone is hiding in the house.'
At this time, he saw a passerby, but when Lin Xiao spoke to him, the other person left without paying attention.
"Don't they understand Chinese?"
"According to records, although this place is far away from Midway, it is located close to transportation, so merchants are constantly coming and going. Logically speaking, we should stay up all night to speak Chinese," Long Ming said.
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
"The atmosphere in such a big city is so weird."
"No matter what, let's go find an inn first. We can definitely find someone there to inquire about information."
Everyone came to the inn.
"Store?" Lin Xiao said.
"Ah." the landlady said.
"You are from outside the city."
‘We just arrived here, please help us prepare the guest room and prepare some wine and food.’ Huangpu said.
"There are plenty of rooms. You can stay here as you please, but the food and wine are gone," the landlady said.
"Madam boss, are you afraid that we can't pay?" Murong said.
"It's just a process without knowing anything. It's too late to come back now."
"Actually, you can't leave the city anymore, so you can stay here forever and wait to die slowly with us," the landlady said.
