114. Ninety-nine graves
The stars are shining, and the night wind is mixed with the yellow sand on the Gobi Desert, blowing constantly.
Under the lonely night sky, Nuo Nuo blushed and looked at Chu Yun quietly, his bright eyes slowly closed in the blink of an eye.
"Take a deep breath. ”
Chu Yun's deep words sounded as if from a distant horizon. Nuo Nuo's small chest rose and fell violently, and according to Chu Yun's words, he took a deep breath with a red face.
The warm breath flowed into the lungs, like a warm current, flowing in the girl's entire body and mind.
Call...
The girl let out a long breath, as if she had just taken a breath of spiritual energy, and she only felt that all the fatigue in her body was spit out with this breath, and the comfort of her body and mind was indescribable.
Chu Yun had already turned around and walked out more than ten meters at this time, but Nuo Nuo was still standing in place, his fair face was as red as a ripe apple at the moment, and his delicate appearance was eager to make people take a bite. The girl's eyebrows were slightly closed, still maintaining the posture just now, her forehead and face were slightly raised, and her breath was like an orchid.
Ten seconds... Twenty seconds... Half a minute passed.
"Hey... Aren't you leaving? What are you doing there?"
Chu Yun's faint voice came from a distance, Nuo Nuo's delicate body trembled, and he opened his eyes in an instant, only to see that Chu Yun had already walked twenty meters away at this time.
"You..."
Nuno was almost fainted on the spot, but his originally shy pretty face was full of anger at the moment. He stomped on his jade feet angrily, glanced at Chu Yun with resentment, and finally followed.
When Chu Yun saw Nuo Nuo's appearance, he couldn't help but be puzzled for a while. Just now, he had consumed a lot of Yuan Power to condense some aura to help Nuo Nuo get rid of his tiredness. It stands to reason that she should be happy, right, why is this expression now as if she bullied her.
I have to say that the aura condensed by Chu Yun's consumption of essence is still very great, and in the second half of the night, Nuo Nuo did not rest or say that he was tired, which made Nuo Nuo even more curious about Chu Yun.
It's just that Chu Yun walked around the town for a long time, and he didn't find anything special, not even much grass, let alone flowers.
Just when Chu Yun began to wonder if Li Banxian had deceived him, in the thick darkness ahead, there was a hoarse voice that sounded quietly in the dark night.
"Are you also here to hunt for treasure?"
"Hey, this town, I'm afraid there will be two more ghosts. ”
The voice was hoarse, like a crushed stone, and it suddenly sounded in the silence of the night, which really made people feel a little terrifying.
Nuo Nuo was so frightened that he immediately grabbed the corner of Chu Yun's clothes, but Chu Yun frowned.
"Who's talking?"
Chu Yun's words fell, and a little dim light suddenly lit up, and even Chu Yun didn't notice it, they walked and walked, and they actually came to a tomb.
Yes, the grave.
There are large and small graves all around, and there is a portrait in front of each grave. Some of the portraits are already very blurry and have obviously been hanging here for a long time.
And in front of the grave, there was an old woman, holding a wooden shovel, slowly shoveling the earth, adding a few lifts of earth to the graves that had been blown much lower by the wind.
The dim light fell on the old man, and from a distance, the old man's withered face was extremely scary.
Nuno was so frightened that he really thought that the person in front of him was a ghost. But Chu Yun could see that it was really an old woman.
Chu Yun walked over slowly, and the old man still shoveled the soil by himself as if he didn't see them, carefully piling up a low grave.
In front of the tomb is a brand-new portrait, the woman in the portrait is graceful and luxurious, purple dress, lying silkworm eyes, willow eyebrows, exquisite appearance, there is a kind of majesty and nobility that has been in a high position for a long time. Just the charm shown in the portrait, Chu Yun knew that if the woman in the painting really existed in the world, she would definitely have a captivating posture and supreme power.
Her kind of noble temperament is by no means what young girls like Nuo Nuo and Ren Yuqing can have. If you really want to find someone to compare, I'm afraid that only the previous life has helped Chu Yun many times, the peerless Yinuo Fairy.
"Hey... Pity this young lady, blinded by treasures, carried away by power..."
"What's the use?"
"Treasures are moving, but the most precious treasure in the world is your own life..."
The old man sighed as he piled up low graves there.
Listening to the old woman's words, Chu Yun was stunned.
She's dead?
Chu Yun became more and more puzzled about this place, the empty town, the dense low tombs, and an elderly and decrepit tomb keeper, as well as dozens of portraits.
Here, what's going on?
"Mr. Chu, I... Let's go back. ”
Nuo Nuo obviously doesn't have such a big nerve as Chu Yun, the unknown is the most terrifying, and the strangeness here has already made the girl's heart furious, and her beautiful eyes are full of horror. A little cold sweat was oozing from the hands that grabbed the corners of Chu Yun's clothes. looked at Chu Yun and whispered.
"Nono, it's okay. These are just mounds of dirt, and there is not a single person in them. Nothing to be afraid of. Chu Yun comforted lightly.
But the old woman smiled at this time, revealing her mouth that was almost gone: "It is indeed not people buried here, but their souls." ”
"May the departed live in peace, and may the soul enter heaven. ”
"May there be no more lust and contention in heaven. ”
The old man's words made Nuo Nuo's face even whiter: "Grandma, please, don't scare me, okay." ”
"I'm not scaring you, I'm just telling some facts. ”
"You two are the hundredth and the hundredth and first outsiders to come here. Ninety-nine have come before you. ”
"They are all buried here, the farthest is my grandfather buried hundreds of years ago, and the closest is this girl. ”
"None of the people who came here left alive, their bodies were left in the desert forever, no one could find them, only their souls could be found. ”
Chu Yun couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he listened to this old man chattering about these gods.
"Grandma, just now you said treasure hunting, is there any treasure here?" Chu Yun asked the doubts in his heart.
"You don't know?" the old man looked up.
"Hmm. Nono shook his head.
However, the old man didn't speak again, but instead left Chu Yun and the others there, and he was still shoveling the soil with his old body alone, helping the noble woman pile up the grave.
Nuo Nuo and Chu Yun didn't speak, and the silent night slowly sprinkled in the dim light, and in the distance, there was a cold wind whimpering sound that kept ringing.
Finally, it wasn't until the old man finished piling up the last shovel of soil that the old man sat back in place, glanced at Chu Yun and Nuo Nuo, and the old voice began to sound.
"Here, it used to be a city, called Wufeng City, also known as Devil's City. Many years ago, a great storm buried this huge city in the desert, and this place is the only land left in Devil's Town due to its higher terrain. ”
"Legend has it that there are many treasures in the Devil's City, and the devil guards those treasures, and anyone who covets the treasure will die at the hands of the devil. ”
"Ninety-nine treasure seekers preceded you, and the last one was this noble woman, with long brown-red hair, and a beautiful fairy. I tried to persuade her not to go in, but she did. It's been a year now, and she hasn't come back. ”
"If you don't eat or drink for a year, it's impossible to live anymore. ”
"I'm afraid I'm already dead at the hands of the devil. ”
The old man's hoarse voice took advantage of the lonely night, and it did feel like listening to ghost stories. But Chu Yun was completely unconscious, when he heard about the treasure, the first thing that came to his mind was the Fire Spirit Flower.
Could it be that this fire spirit flower was also buried in the desert?
Chu Yun suddenly had the idea of going in to investigate, but before entering, Chu Yun looked at this tomb, there were only black and white portraits in front of the tomb, but each portrait was painted vividly. There are foreigners, and there are also Chinese people.
When Chu Yun swept over their portraits, his face was full of surprise.
This is, Bagua Boxing Grandmaster, Li is in favor!
The originator of Xingyimen, Gao Bairen!
There is another person that Chu Yun is extremely familiar with. It was Chen Qingquan who defeated Li Qinglong twelve years ago!
How can it be?
These martial arts powerhouses who have disappeared for many years have all come here!!
Looking at these martial arts powerhouses who had long been famous, Chu Yun couldn't help but be shocked.
He was almost sure that in this buried devil city, it was definitely not as simple as a simple treasure, there must be some innate spiritual treasures that were beneficial to martial arts cultivation, otherwise how could there be so many martial arts masters coming.
Chu Yun looked at their whitened and faded portraits, it seemed that they had already come here more than ten years ago, and according to the old man's words, they had never come out since they entered.
No wonder, no wonder for so many years, many Chinese martial arts masters seem to have disappeared, and there is no news at all, so they all came here.
