Chapter 23: "The Forgotten Lands"

Dayong, Western Desert.

Directly west of Dayong is the boundless desert, no one knows that he is big, and everyone who wants to explore is buried in this place called by people, the endless sea of sand, a round sunset sticks to the ridge line of the desert, and the earth is lined with a dull and dark layer, revealing a layer of crimson; The desert waves, which held the setting sun, froze, like a sleeping sea.

There is a small town at the junction of the land and sand, the town is nameless, it is a wasteland, because of the endless sand sea, rich in a kind of blood grass that accelerates the exchange of blood for warriors, people continue to gather and form, but with hundreds of years of continuous collection it is gradually difficult to see the traces of blood grass, and the lively town is instantly down, but with the one-year period, a warrior inadvertently found glowing sand in the desert, for some reason the news has spread to attract warriors from all directions, making the originally lonely town lively again,

The walls of the town were eroded by the wind and sand, and the potholes seemed to have been eaten by hungry wild beasts, and a gust of wind blew, and the creaking sound of the broken city gates rolled up the dust and sand in the sky, obscuring the clouds and the sun, and it was difficult to see from a distance.

"Zhige Inn" is as its name suggests, but it is the death of those who make a big move in the inn.

Duan Tian was drinking with his three brothers at this time, and the warriors from all over the country were eating and drinking wine like them, and everyone was lying with thick packages around them, the weather in the desert was hot and unbearable during the day, and it was bitterly cold at night, and it was essential to take measures to keep warm in the desert at night, and after half an hour, the sky would darken, and that was their own brothers would also venture into the desert like them, for their own dreams, for themselves or for their children and grandchildren.

It's been almost a year, and it's not the weather, the desert, it's the people! When I came, there were five brothers, and now there are only three left, it's almost over, I hope I can get together one or two stars and dust tonight, Duan Tian thought of his son and smiled, it's worth the lot of suffering, that kid is not even twelve is already a martial arts double realm, if it weren't for the limitations of the exercises, the future achievements are limitless, this is what their only grandmaster said there. Daddy boy will give you a future.

Just as Duan Tian and the three of them were about to get up and leave, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and an old man in a black robe with a ruddy face came in with the wind and sand.

The old man walked straight to the counter and said to an old man with a wrinkled face, "You are the shopkeeper here, Meng Jun, known as the hero of the Western Desert?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, you deliberately spread the news of the stardust and sand in the desert, attracted warriors for your own selfish desires, and found the stardust and sand for you to rob and kill them halfway when they were about to leave, what I said is wrong." ”

"What" "This is impossible, can you be wrong, this lord!" Hearing the old man's words, the warriors present were all shocked, and the whispers were endless.

The old man ignored it and continued, "Should I call you a lone wolf or call you a hero like them?" After speaking, staring at the shopkeeper, the old man said, "I didn't expect that little miscellaneous to be dead, since you already know, you don't want to be embarrassed by those ants and old men, you and I are both in the realm of martial saints, and no one will be happy if the fish dies and the net is broken." β€œ

The warriors present have quietly gathered together, before the winner is decided, if you want to leave, it is the way to die, the inn is just one door, only if they hug together can there be hope of survival.

The old man smiled and said, "The fish is dead and the net is broken, you think too highly of yourself, if it weren't for the stardust and sand you got from killing people, you think you can still stand in front of me,"

"Haha, I also said that you are a righteous gentleman who is jealous and hateful, I didn't expect you to be a peer, why bother to fight to the death, let's add two to five,"

Shaking his head, the old man said, "Wait a while, you will naturally tell me, who did you kill in Stardust Sand, I will exchange it for them for the "Nine Methods of Practicing Truth" and give it to their descendants, and the reputation of the prince cannot be humiliated." After speaking, raising his hand is a "white tiger descending the mountain", the eight-headed Zhenyuan giant tiger, although the old man is prepared, where can he resist, the blow of the tiger law, instantly hit the ground seriously injured, and said weakly, "Tiger Martial Saint, Xu Kong!"

From the second year, the imperial court announced the exchange of goods, which opened the bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, the temptation of the "practice of the true nine laws" to the great warriors, that is the existence of the heavenly rank, those who were killed because of the stardust sand, because they could not find the murderer, the relatives put so the resentment and dissatisfaction, attributed to the initiator, and the gossip continued, which made Xu Kong and others extremely dissatisfied, so there was Xu Kong and others who went around to extinguish the fire for a year, although the prince didn't care about these, but as a subordinate, he couldn't bear it.

Of course, the retreat and cultivation of Baili Lin did not know, the time passed unconsciously for seven years, this day Baili Lin out of the bamboo forest, straight out of the palace to the palace, he wanted to see the results of the seven years, the street traffic seems to be much more lively than before, walking through the flow of people to feel the long-lost breath, pedestrians did not notice that someone walked by, after seven years of the current Baili Lin is more and more unfathomable, he came to the Taihe Hall where Dayong deals with daily life, the current emperor is not in Baili Batian as early as seven years ago because of merit into the Xuanmen, now it is Baili Lone's half-brother Baili Town, the former town prince,

Baili Town and Baili Batian are ninety percent similar, that is, there are many years, he is dealing with this matter, he feels that there are more people around him, and he is shocked into a cold sweat, you must know that there are always three martial saints around you at all times, and people can appear silently around If you want to have unimaginable adverse consequences for him, just when he doesn't know what to do, the person who came said "It's quite diligent," Baili Zhen looked up at the person who came, the gray robe and cloth shoes that will never change, but there is more than the long sword on his back and the wine gourd hanging on his waist than in the twenty years, he is really afraid that this third brother will kill people if he doesn't agree, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know what happened to the third brother coming to me." ”

Baili Lin directly explained his intentions, and Baili Town hurriedly asked someone to bring over the stardust sand collected over the years, handed it to Baili Lin and said, "This is the stardust and sand collected in the past seven years, a total of five catties and eight taels, all here." ”

Baili Lin hung the leather bag containing stardust and sand on his waist and said, "I'll leave Dayong and send someone to inform Xu Kong, Zhenbei Wang's family, I won't go to say goodbye to them." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the temple gate, disappearing into the afterglow of the setting sun.

Baili lonely out of the palace capital, thinking about the direction of the North Yue country out, he once read a large travelogue, the book said that he is from a monk called Baichuan Continent, because of an exploration of the ancient cave when accidentally touched a teleportation array, came here, and found that the people here do not know what is Xiuzhen, only know martial arts, let him be quite puzzled, according to his own estimate of the teleportation distance is impossible to teleport to other continents, as far as he knows, in the Baichuan Continent, up to the old man who is about to rotten wood to the three-year-old naughty boy knows Xiuzhen Xiuxian, why this place seems to be isolated from the world, which aroused his strong curiosity, so he spent four full years to travel all over the four directions here。

I found that this is a Jedi, the south is a dead sea, less than a thousand miles from the sea is an endless storm of annihilation, with the infant realm of his Yuan at that time, he was killed when touched, the north is an endless swamp, there are big demons entrenched, there is a natural killing array in the depths of the desert in the west, and there is a Henggu Mountain Range in the east, where the depths are even more demon beasts raging, and he almost lost his life, and his initial curiosity was exhausted with the loss of time.

Hopeless to return home, he only hopes to be able to return to the Baichuan Continent through the ancient teleportation array when he comes, but the spiritual essence of the activation formation is not to mention that he is not seen by the photogenic monks, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find it by himself in a barren place with spiritual energy, and it is not advisable, so he wandered away from the world and looked for people with spiritual roots, and after another thirty years, he finally found four people who barely met the requirements, taught the immortal decision, and waited for them to practice and open a sect for another three hundred years "This is the origin of the Xuanmen of the Four Kingdoms" In despair, he desperately wanted to break through the mirror to find that trace of life, and the Tao did not reach the end of the end of the dispersion, and when he stayed, he wrote his own experience into a travelogue, hoping to get out of this self-called "forgotten place" people, and bring his bones back to the sect for burial.

Baili Lin one step ten zhang, at night in a cave practice, mainly to hold the sword of the star aperture filled, five catties and eight taels is not expected by himself, for him the more the better, think that with the improvement of his own realm, the sword will need more stardust sand, only to see Baili Lin with real fire to soften the sword, and then according to the steps of the sword casting chapter, methodically turn the stardust sand into gold water into the sword, this refining is a month, until the sword holding the star is complete, the stardust sand is still four catties and three taels, Baili Lin put the rest of the care into the skin bag on his waist, got up and stood, he was in a good mood He poured himself a sip of wine, shook the gourd and found that it was empty, "If you have a chance, you must get a gourd with a lot of things inside, it's too disappointing." ”

Baili lonely all the way to the north, over the mountains and mountains, sleeping in the open air, seeing good scenery and cultivating on the spot, living a good life, this is the life that a cultivator should have in his mind, carefree, unrestrained, Xiuzhen asked, ask for immortal immortality, and smile at the wind and rain.
