Southern Regions, Creek Village. This is a small village less than ten kilometers away from the wall, and it is also the closest village to the wall in the entire southern region, because an originally wide river turned into a stream here, and then slowly disappeared, so it was named "Xiaoxi Village".

It's midday, and the adults are working in the fields, which is different from the desolate and barren Northland. The village is surrounded by green hills and grasses, lush vegetation, and people have cultivated land here for very little tax, so it is a veritable "paradise" for the average person in the western desert.

A group of children laughed and ran to the end of the world, holding unknown flowers in their hands, pushing each other carefree.

At some point, the adults stopped in the fields to look into the distance, and the children looked curiously in the same direction, to the north, where the wall was located.

The walls turned golden! The original yellow-brown walls were reflected in gold by something, and then there was a golden light in the sky, which was so dazzling that people subconsciously covered their eyes.

After a long time, when the gold faded and people could look directly at the wall again, the villagers, who had been planting their entire lives, were completely stunned.

There was a big gap in the wall! Although the wall didn't look very tall because of the distance from the wall, the area of the gap was terrifying enough that it could be seen clearly even from a few kilometers away.

"Is there going to be a war?" someone sighed, this was the last thing they wanted to see, the wall had an accident, and it could only mean one thing, and that was that the relationship between the two realms had changed.

"Don't worry, we have Mrs. Shapo, she alone is worth thousands of troops, let the people of the Northern Regions come, now they may not even be able to fill their stomachs." ”

"yes, I heard it's desolate over there. ”

Then there was a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere was eased, except for the group of children staring intently at the wall in the distance.

Gu Xiaobai silently withdrew his arms, the scene in front of him was really a little unexpected, there was a gap about three meters deep in the wall in front of him, and the gap continued for a distance of thirty or forty meters, and Sha Wentian's figure had long disappeared, thinking that it was buried by sand.

Gu Xiaobai wanted to raise his feet and walk forward to see Sha Wentian's situation, but a feeling of powerlessness from his body made his body shake, and when he comprehended this move from the necklace, even he himself didn't expect that the consumption of the ability would be so huge, but the scene in front of him also proved to him that the huge consumption was exchanged for huge power.

"Thorny Sun ......" Gu Xiaobai clenched his fists and silently recited his new name.

"Ahem!" A figure suddenly stood up from the gap, it was Sha Wentian, who had recovered his human form, he first slapped the sand off his body in embarrassment, and then looked at Gu Xiaobai who was standing above the gap, his eyes were clearly full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"What, do you still want to fight?"

Sha Wentian snorted coldly, silently walked up to the gap, and walked through Gu Xiaobai's side into the distance. And the reason why Gu Xiaobai didn't have the slightest fear was because he could see that Sha Wentian had done his best to save his life under his "piercing sun", maybe his current sense of powerlessness was stronger than his own.

Suddenly, an elderly figure appeared beside Gu Xiaobai, it was the white-haired old man, the guardian of the Divine Tree.

"Let's leave with Sha Gongzi, Sha Po specially instructed you to go to 'Qiancheng' as soon as possible. ”

Gu Xiaobai nodded, pointed to the gap in front of him and said, "But, this ......"

The old man smiled and said, "I'll leave it to the old man of mine to fix it, and your abilities won't help much." ”

Gu Xiaobai smiled back awkwardly and turned to leave.

There will be a ladder leading to the ground every few kilometers above the sealing wall, when Gu Xiaobai stepped on the stairs, the guards guarding there all made way for a way, they witnessed the battle between Gu Xiaobai and Sha Wentian, and those who could fight with the prince of the Southern Regions, they didn't dare to slack off.

It was that difficult staircase again, and when Gu Xiaobai completely stepped on the ground, he saw more than a dozen carriages lined up, and a gentle middle-aged man greeted him.

"Please get into the carriage, Lady Shapo is waiting to meet you. ”

Gu Xiaobai nodded and got into the last carriage.

Along the way, the biggest feeling for Gu Xiaobai is that this is a completely different world from the Northern Regions, with warblers singing and dancing everywhere, green waters and green mountains everywhere, and the carriage walking on the path, you can smell the fragrance of flowers and plants floating around, maybe this place is a veritable paradise for Miao Lao and them.

The journey after that will last for half a month, except for a short stop every night and during meals, the rest of the time is in a hurry, and only when he is resting, Gu Xiaobai can see Sha Wentian get out of the carriage.

This man seems to be very arrogant, and his attitude towards anyone is the same, but his attitude towards battle is completely different, he is a passionate battle maniac, Gu Xiaobai knows that this may have something to do with the "monster" in his body.

The carriage procession walked for half a month, and when they passed through a large area of bushes, a clearing suddenly came into view, and what was even more striking was the city wall standing in the middle of the clearing.

The city wall is ten meters high, the whole is blue-gray, the length is incalculable, at least in the open space can not see its end, from here, the surrounding becomes lively, most of the people in and out of the city, there are no guards here, people come and go freely, it is very convenient.

Seeing the carriage passing by, people gave way one after another, and what Gu Xiaobai saw in their eyes was not fear, but respect, which was completely from the heart.

The carriage procession smoothly entered the city, and the noise around it suddenly rose to a level, worthy of being the largest city in the Rich Southern Region, the streets were full of pedestrians, and unlike the dark yellow of Kuncheng, the colors here were obviously much richer. Gu Xiaobai had long discovered that people in the Southern Regions did not use sand to build houses, but used a blue-gray stone, polished into a regular rectangular shape, and people would also use special pigments to paint the houses to make the colors richer.

The convoy stepped into the second city gate, and there were already guards here, because this gate was the boundary between the outer city and the inner city, although the inner city was not big, but the people living in the surname "Sha", that is, the relatives of the domain lord Shalijin, had become the most special place in the entire "Qiancheng".

"Childe-sama is back!"

Someone was shouting outside the carriage, and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and Gu Xiaobai stepped out of the carriage and was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

The so-called inner courtyard was uniformly dyed golden, whether it was a house, a step, or a gazebo, it was all golden, and the servants here were all dressed in uniform golden clothes, if it weren't for seeing Sha Wentian, Gu Xiaobai would think that he had come to some oil-rich Middle Eastern country.

Sha Wentian glanced back at Gu Xiaobai, and then disappeared into the depths of the courtyard without looking back, at this time, the elegant middle-aged man from before walked over.

"Lady Shapo said to let you see her as soon as possible, so please come with me. ”

The two of them walked one after the other, bypassing the patches of gold, shuttling through the intricate courtyards, and walking all the way, Gu Xiaobai also saw golden fountains, and even flowers with golden flowers, in short, there are two words everywhere here: "luxury!"

The two walked around into a courtyard, and there were two big characters written on the golden door plaque: Shating, this courtyard is not big, there are only five or six houses when it is full, but there are many servants inside, from entering the door to the middle of the courtyard, Gu Xiaobai saw more than ten servants, not counting the guards who stood in the mouth and had alert eyes, they were undoubtedly all strangers.

"Sapa is waiting for you inside. The middle-aged man stopped in front of a door, this door made Gu Xiaobai's eyes shine, because it was not golden, and it was unique in this courtyard, this was a door made of sand, but the color was very dark, almost jujube red, quite the artistic conception of a famous courtyard.

When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was the woman who was over half a hundred years old, Shapo. She was sitting upright in a chair, and like the door, all the furnishings in the room were maroon, and I have to say, this color was much more relaxing than gold.

"Please sit down, it's been a long journey. Sha Po looked kind, for some reason, Gu Xiaobai felt that she had always looked at her as if she was looking at her grandson.

Gu Xiaobai sat on another chair, and the clear texture told him that all the furniture here was made of sand.

"I heard that you and Wentian had a fight on the wall, right?" Sha Po spoke first, although she was over half a hundred years old, she revealed a special temperament everywhere, and even when she spoke, she could clearly feel that this was the generosity that could only be obtained after a desolate life.

"Well, it was actually him who offered to fight me, and I was just forced to accept it. ”

Sha Po still maintained a mysterious smile, her eyes staring at Gu Xiaobai without blinking.

"You don't believe it?"

"I believe it, I know my child best, but I didn't expect you to beat him, and as a young man in his early twenties, you have surprised me a lot. ”

"Isn't your son also in his twenties?"

Sha Po nodded, then shook her head again, and said, "He's not as simple as you see!"

Gu Xiaobai asked tentatively, "Is there something in his body?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and Sha Po looked at Gu Xiaobai, her eyes inexplicably cold.

"I ...... Did you guess right?"

The two were at a stalemate for a while, and Sha Po finally sighed, raised her head and closed her eyes, and said, "You are really special, how do you see it?"

"That claw, although it is possible to form a claw with an ability, I can clearly feel the murderous aura hidden in the deeper layer, that murderous aura...... It's scary. This is all thanks to five years of living on a desert island, which makes him extremely sensitive to murderous aura, after all, Old Man Li Guang is not joking, and if he slacks off, he may be beaten to pieces.

"I'll tell you the specifics later, but before that......" Sha Po's eyes suddenly became serious, which indicated that her next sentence was extraordinarily serious, "Don't say it!"
