Chapter 34: The Desert

After Lin Muye and the others said goodbye to Lin Muwen, they began to go on the road to prepare to go to the location marked on the map, the Qiushui River is between the Snake Mountain, and the Snake Mountain is 800 kilometers away from Chang'an City.

Lin Muye's writing wheel eye could not travel through such a distant location, so the four of them rented a modern off-road car from a rental car company.

After packing up, it's time to go.

The map shows that you need to cross a desert, and there is an ancient city called Xudu, which is said to be the junction of yin and yang, and whenever the sun sets, there are ghosts and monsters, and the gates of the world are closed, and the gates of the underworld are wide open.

Lin Muye also knows this knowledge in the Soul Crossing Master Academy, which is located in the two worlds of yin and yang, with plenty of yang energy during the day and strong yin energy at night, which is a place where ghosts like it, no matter whether the soul has obsession or not, it can haunt here, so there are many ghosts.

According to the instructions on the map, Lin Muye and the others soon came to the desert land, where the sun was scorching and deserted.

Modern off-road struggles.

Not far away, an old woman was lying in the desert, being whipped by several big men next to her.

Lin Muye hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and walked over, but saw that the old woman and the big man had disappeared.

"It's strange! Is it a mirage?" Lin Muye stepped on the brakes, looking dazed.

"A mirage in the desert?" muttered the fat man.

It's been a long journey, and Nian and Mei have already fallen asleep.

"It's not a mirage, it's a golem!" Suddenly, an old man came from behind the car, carrying a hoe and a bucket of water.

"Golem?" Lin Muye and the fat man asked at the same time.

"This was originally an ancient battlefield, a place where the demons and the human race fought, and the scene you just saw was the picture of the demons oppressing the people of the human race, which was what had happened. The old man coughed, picked up the bucket, and went on.

"Old man, do you know how to get to Xudu?" Lin Muye asked, what did he think this old man should know, looking at the line in his hand, it should be a person who lives in the desert.

"Xudu ......" the old man was stunned, "What are you doing in Xudu?"

"We're going to visit relatives in Xudu. Lin Muye didn't want to leak the secret of Qiushui River, so he lied to the old man.

The old man sneered and shook his head: "Xudu is a ghost town, and people there will not communicate with outsiders for generations, you told me that you want to visit relatives?"

Lin Muye didn't expect that the people in Xudu would not be born, and he was speechless.

The old man shook his head and was about to leave with the water in his hand, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "You are going to the Qiushui River!"

"You, how do you know?" Lin Muye said in shock.

"It's the place where the demon will fall, I've heard about it, if it's someone who goes there, please come with me. There was an indescribable joy on the old man's face.

Lin Muye opened the car door, and the old man poked his head out and suddenly said, "There are two more people, just squeeze it." ”

"Can you see them?" Lin Muye was even more convinced that this old man was extraordinary.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I have yin and yang eyes, and I can see things that ordinary people can't see." ”

So it was, Lin Muye didn't say much, the fat man was also a little surprised at this time, according to the old man's guidance, they soon came to an oasis, there are more than 20 acres of green grassland, a bamboo forest and poplar forest, and a pool of spring water.

There is a wooden house in the middle of the oasis, there is a small courtyard, and there is a yellow dog in the yard, Lin Muye and the others got out of the car, Nian and Mei followed behind, rubbing their eyes, and a little sleepy.

The yellow dog barked suddenly.

"Dogs can see things that people can't. The old man said nonchalantly.

Lin Muye and the fat man glanced at each other, looked at Nian Hemei behind them, and showed a wicked smile.

Nian and Mei glanced at the two of them angrily.

When everyone entered the house, there were small bamboo stools in the house, a few people sat down, and the old man brought tea.

"You're soul crossers, aren't you?" the old man said suddenly.

Lin Muye and the fat man frowned, there were not many people who knew the soul crosser, there must be some secret in this old man.

The old man seemed to sense the reaction of Lin Muye and the fat man, and said with a sigh: "My son is also a soul crosser, but unfortunately he was killed three years ago, and his soul is trapped in the Nianci Hall in Xudu. ”

"Nian Ci Tang, what kind of place is that?"

"There's a piece of rank left by the Demon King! It can breathe people's hearts, and it will devour the souls of passing by, so the Nian Ci Hall has been abandoned for a long time, and my son is trapped there. ”

"Since he is the father of the Soul Crossing Master, then we should help you do something, what do you want us to do?" Lin Muye put the tea in the palm of his hand, and there was a warm feeling.

At this time, Nian seemed to be a little excited, and her expression changed slightly.

"Take me to Xudu! I want to see my son. At this moment, the old man finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and he couldn't cry.

Lin Muye and the fat man glanced at each other and hurriedly comforted the old man.

"Don't worry, we'll take you, and as for whether we can see your son, then we can only do our best. Lin Muye didn't dare to boast about Haikou, what the Demon King left behind was extraordinary, if he gave the old man too much hope now, once he couldn't see his son at that time, he would be even more devastated.

"As long as you take me there, I will admit it if you see me or not. ”

Lin Muye and the others drank tea and set off again with the old man.

The old man told Lin Muye on the way that this desert is very strange, and whenever night falls, the desert becomes extremely dangerous, and some purple-eyed wolves will go out en masse to find prey.

After walking for about five hours, the sun soon dyed the clouds in the west red like blood.

"There's a stone forest ahead, and I've set up a supply point there. ”

After driving forward for two hundred meters, there was indeed a group of tall stone forests, and there were huge stones in the desert, Lin Muye felt a little strange.

Walking into the small house in the stone forest, the wooden planks have been seriously corroded, but they can also block a certain amount of wind and sand, Lin Muye and the fat man took out a few blankets from the car and repaired the broken holes around, which can be regarded as temporary habitation.

"Fatty, look at the dots, I'll draw a prize first. Lin Muye took out the Qiankun bag and took out a lottery drawer from it, and everyone was a little surprised.

At this moment, Mei walked over and looked up and down.

"This thing doesn't seem to be a human thing. It nodded to itself.

Lin Muye smiled a little embarrassed, he didn't know where the Buddha Demon got this thing, it was so powerful that it couldn't be done.

Lin Muye took out a stack of soul seals, there were a hundred of them, this was the trophy of his defeat of Zhou Xiaowen, although it was robbed.

He licked his lips and pressed the blue button.

"Stop!" Lin Muye's eyes widened.

"Whirlwind Heavy Slash! Advanced Knife Technique. It is divided into three levels, the primary can break the stone, the intermediate can split the mountain, and the advanced can break the waves. ”

It just so happens that there is a magic knife, and the whirlwind slash can be described as a tiger's wings.

Lin Muye spent fifty soul seals to slash the whirlwind to the intermediate level, and his heart was dripping blood, this sword technique was such a waste of soul marks.

After opening the Qiankun Seal, it took another fifty soul seals to be upgraded to the highest level, and the seal could be completed beyond six soul power levels.

Lin Muye put away the lottery drawer, calmed down, and silently practiced the whirlwind slash in his heart.

The old man and the fat man began to cook, and Nian and Mei helped collect firewood.

Lin Muye meditated and cultivated soul power, soul power needs soul nourishment, and the soul belongs to yin, and the desert yin qi in the evening is heavier, so it helps to cultivate soul power, although it is not much, it can also be improved.

As the ancients said, the accumulation of steps leads to thousands of miles, and the accumulation of small streams becomes rivers.

Bonfires illuminate the wooden houses, and the stone grove outside them is also colored in the colors of the flames.

On the sand dunes not far away, a group of purple-eyed wild wolves were coming, and the cold light of the forest illuminated the desert.

"It's coming!" exclaimed the old man.

Lin Muye opened his eyes and took out the magic knife from the Qiankun bag.

"Just in time, I wanted to test the power of the magic knife. ”

Lin Muye walked out of the house with a knife alone, the breeze was blowing, and there was a cold feeling.

One person and one knife, facing more than fifty wild wolves, he smiled faintly.
