Chapter 55: The Lost City of the Sand Sea (Part II)
The "great ancestor" in Ouyang Nan's mouth is naturally the medicine saint Ouyang Mountain, and the Nanban Land mentioned in his words is located in the west of the Yunmeng Daze area, mostly living in the Lianyun Heavy Mountain, close to the sphere of influence of the Demon Gate Star Luo Sect.
There are many tribes in the Southern Barbarians, and the beliefs of each tribe are also different, because of the proximity to the power of the Demon Gate, some of them have fallen to the Star Luo Sect, and there are still scattered ancient tribes that have fled to the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range to fight against the Star Luo Sect.
Shao Heng had never been there, but he had dealt with the people of the Southern Barbarians.
And when he was fighting with the Dugu Star of the Star Luo Sect, the one who suddenly appeared and took away Gong Qin'er, the daughter of a thousand illusions, should be one of the ancient tribes of the Southern Barbarians.
"Why is the pattern and text of the Southern Barbarian Land related to the Lingji Cave Heaven?" Ouyang Bai asked strangely.
However, the answer to this question was not answered by anyone present.
"It seems that the trip to the Nanban cannot be delayed any longer. Shao Heng thought so in his heart, but his hand subconsciously touched the scabbard of the fairy sword.
The misty scabbard faintly shimmered with stars under the golden sunlight, Nanban and Kunlun were one south and one north, and Shao Heng fell into contemplation for a while.
"That's it, Nanban's side will let the Dimao or Xuanying in Tianshu go first. Shao Heng suddenly remembered the information that Chen Taichen inadvertently revealed in the mountains and forests of Dipingguan that day, and immediately made up his mind.
"Brother Shao, why are you here alone? Senior Brother Shen and Brother Beidou?" Ouyang Nan suddenly remembered this, thinking that something had happened, and asked with concern.
"They should all be safe and sound at the moment, but when they entered this land of yellow sand, Senior Brother Shen and I were probably not in the same place due to the restrictions of the rules of the place, I think they may have also dispersed, right?" Shao Heng glanced at the light spots on the identity jade that represented the others, and said casually.
"Huh, why did you disperse? I entered this place with my eldest brother and didn't separate?" Ouyang Nan said strangely.
Shao Heng was stunned when he heard this, turned to look at Ouyang Bai, and after getting Ouyang Bai's affirmative answer, Miao Jing also said: "I passed through the Flowing Flame Mountain with my two junior sisters, and I also came here together, and I did not disperse. ”
At this time, Shao Heng realized that something was wrong.
"Then you might be able to get in touch with each other?"
"It's not going to work, you can't tell the direction in the desert, you just know that it's okay. ”
This is the same as Shao Heng, which makes Shao Heng breathe a sigh of relief.
"But in this case, why did Senior Brother Shen and I get separated in the desert, and where did Senior Brother go?" Shao Heng vaguely felt that this matter should be related to the reason why those points of light were only close to the two of them.
Thinking of this, Shao Heng was unwilling to wait any longer, and at this time, the Ouyang brothers and Ciyunzhai were basically fine.
Now that they are prepared, they will no longer be caught off guard by the group of demon beasts.
So Shao Heng immediately said goodbye.
"Brother Shao, aren't you going to act with us?" Ouyang Nan said with some concern: "I know that your swordsmanship is superb, and your cultivation is far better than mine, but you have some care when you go together." ”
"Brother Nan is right, Brother Shao, it's not the first time that you and my Ouyang family have cooperated to act, so what's the inconvenience?" Ouyang Bai also persuaded.
If it were someone else, Shao Heng would just fool around for a sentence or two.
But he and Ouyang Nan have interacted several times, knowing that the other party is sincere, saying that one is one, and there is no temptation.
Although the Danding faction had a little trouble with Cunweishan because of the incident of biting Shen Yuanxi's innocence, the two factions quickly apologized to each other after that incident, and the friendship between the two factions was restored with the passage of time and the mediation of Shen Yuanxi's status in the sect.
On the other hand, Ouyang Bai is the eldest grandson of the Ouyang family, and his identity is different.
The Ouyang family of Xiaolang Villa has always been in a transcendent position in Shenzhou in a sense, and has been courteous to all sects.
If you deal with it casually, it seems that Shao Heng is rude.
On the contrary, Miao Jing, a monk, saw Shao Heng's hesitation in his heart, and said: "I think that Master Shao Shi wants to find Senior Brother Shen Yuanxi as soon as possible, everyone can naturally take care of each other, but it is not very convenient to find someone." It is also human nature that Lord Shao has the heart to leave, and there is no need to stay because of us. ”
Shao Heng's expression was slightly moved, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Senior Sister Miao Jing for your understanding." ”
Ouyang Nan looked apologetic: "It's still Senior Sister Miao Jing's heart. However, Brother Shao, you must be careful when you act alone!"
"I am measured, thank you Brother Nan for the medicine. Shao Heng Qingjun's face showed a sincere smile, "Senior Sister Miao Jing's residual poison Fang Qing, you still need to rest here for a while." This place is quite safe, Brother Bai, Brother Nan, there will be a period later!"
After speaking, Shao Heng waved slightly at everyone, and then turned to leave.
Miao Jing watched Shao Heng leave, but when she turned her head, she saw a trace of disappointment flashing on her senior sister Xue Xian's face, and her heart moved slightly and quietly asked, "Senior Sister Xue, have you ever seen this Shao Shi Master in the past?"
Xue Xian was asked by her senior sister, her face was slightly red, and she nodded and replied: "I went to Cunwei Mountain with my master to watch the ceremony before, and I had a relationship. ”
Miao Jing quickly realized that when the Liuyue Monk and the Snow Fairy went out and returned, they also brought another woman into Ciyun Zhai. Some of them had been curious several times, and although Miao Jing didn't deliberately inquire, she also knew that something big seemed to have happened in Cunwei Mountain at that time, involving some scandals.
Since Xue Xian said that he had seen Shao Heng today, he thought it was at that time.
Xue Xian stared slightly, thinking that the first time she went down the mountain, she went to the world-famous Cunwei Mountain Holy Land with her master. Although the Liuyue monk hid something from her back then, at that time, there were people up and down Cunwei Mountain who deliberately publicized it and made a fuss, she was just shy by nature, but she was also a smart person in Bingxue, and she also knew a rough idea.
Not only does he hate the people who laid it out, but he also sympathizes with the victimized Shen Yuanxi and Pan Xiaoyun, but on the other hand, he also knows that Shao Heng is fighting hard for his senior brother in the Cunzhen Palace, and is even willing to use his body to nail the criminal law through the bones and souls.
When he was in trouble today, he was rescued by Shao Heng, and Xuexian's heart was faintly moved, but he didn't know it.
After Miao Jing noticed it, she sighed in her heart: "That Shao Shizhu was unmoved by the snow fairy, but he showed tenderness to the scabbard, I am afraid that he has already had a heart, the snow fairy is simple-minded and young, if it is injured because of this, it will not be good, and you need to quietly inform the Liuyue seniors when you go back." ”
……
Shao Heng walked alone again, and all the demon beasts he encountered on the road were cut by his sword, but as time passed, the desert in front of him was still boundless, and he didn't know where the end was.
In desperation, Shao Heng sensed that night was approaching, and the continuous trek and battle made him a little tired, so he planned to find a leeward place to rest.
However, fortunately and strangely, Shao Heng found another abandoned building complex similar to the previous one, and there were also several stone pillars carved with strange text patterns inside. Only this time, the place Shao Heng found was slightly less weathered than the previous one, and even a few houses were still standing in the wind and sand.
Night fell again, and the residual warmth of the desert, which had been like a steamer, gradually disappeared in the night, and was replaced by an endless cold.
Shao Heng casually released a bunch of flames, chatted to keep warm, and laid a warning spell around him, before he placed the Tianji Sword horizontally on his lap and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The sword light was cold and faint, reflecting the flame-like firelight, and in the darkness, it looked like a firefly in the grass and trees.
After the dantian's breath calmed down and the Lingtai was clear, Shao Heng relaxed his sitting posture slightly, leaned against the ancient and obsolete black wall behind him, took out the roll of yellow silk that Chen Taichen handed him before leaving, and unfolded it and pondered carefully.
This picture of the spiritual veins of Shenzhou is depicted in great detail, and the spiritual veins are like leaf veins and human meridians all over Shenzhou, passing through countless large and small countries, and passing through major sects and families.
Shao Heng's expression suddenly froze, and his fingers rubbed back and forth from north to south along the spiritual veins representing the Lianyun Mountain Range.
This section of spiritual veins was extremely dense, and the densest part almost converged into a thick line, and at the same time, four marks were made on each of them with a red pen.
At that time, when he and Shen Yuanxi looked at each other, because the spiritual veins were too dense, they almost covered the original map of Shenzhou, and because of the preciousness of the map, they focused on the spiritual veins, but they ignored the most familiar and simple thing for a while.
One of the four places marked with a red pen clearly represents the place where Cunwei Mountain is located!
Shao Heng's face was a little solemn, and his fingers stayed on the second mark from top to bottom in the Lianyun Mountain Range on the map: "Cunwei Mountain ......" The next moment, he moved his fingers down along the spiritual vein to the next marker, and muttered: "Danding Sect ......"
After finishing speaking, Shao Heng's fingers moved again, moving to the top of the red pen mark: "Ciyun Zhai?"
Shao Heng participated in the opening of the Ding Dan meeting in Xiaolang Villa, and naturally knew that the Danding faction was thousands of miles away from Quanbei City, and there was indeed no difference from the picture depicted.
As for the red pen mark on the top, Shao Heng guessed that Ciyun Zhai also saved Miao Jing and others today, and suddenly thought of it.
Although he is not sure, according to the records, the top mark is eight or nine times out of ten, which represents Ciyun Zhai, who has always avoided the world!
Before today, Shao Heng had never doubted any connection between Cunweishan, the Danding faction, and Ciyunzhai.
Whether it was the friendship between these two factions and Cunwei Mountain, or the additional warning of the master ancestor Taihao Zhenren to help the disciples of these two factions when they entered the cave heaven, Shao Heng never thought that there was anything wrong with this.
We are all on the right path, and we help each other.
This is perfectly normal.
However, at this moment, Shao Heng had a trace of doubt in his heart: "Cunwei Mountain and Yuxu Mountain often quarrel because of swordsmanship disputes, and there is very little contact with Nixia Mountain, perhaps because Nixia Mountain is overseas." However, the relationship between the Qianji faction, the Lingxiao faction, the Zhongliu faction, the Dayan Temple, the Leiming Temple and Cunwei Mountain, which are also on the right path, seems to have been inferior to the Danding faction and Ciyunzhai. Because the Danding faction is good at alchemy, it is okay to interact with various righteous paths, but Ciyun Zhai, who has always avoided the world, is a little unusual. ”
Several marks in this picture clearly indicate that there is a secret between these sects.
Under the firelight, Shao Heng's face was bright and dark, cloudy and uncertain.
He hesitated to stop at the last mark, and was silent for a long time, hesitation, surprise, and incomprehension flashed in his phoenix eyes, but he said in a low voice: "Star...... Gauze...... Zong!"
