Chapter 158: Revisiting the Old Place
Early the next morning, the dumb aunt and Qu Yi bid farewell to their master and embarked on the journey to contact other sects.
Zixian and Jianwei asked the shopkeeper to prepare some water and food to take with them, left Qingquan Village, and flew towards the center of the desert.
The sky above the desert is cloudless and blue. The golden sand dunes stretch until the end of the day.
Not long after the sun came out, the temperature in the desert began to rise dramatically. A wave of heat floats from the surface of the sand, fluctuating like a transparent stream of water, blurring the scene in front of you.
Although Zixian and Jianxi were flying in the air, they were already sweating at this time.
"I've been to this place before." Zixian said lightly: "But at that time, this desert was not so big, nor was it so hot. ”
Jairus nodded, but did not speak. He was covered with thick hair, and he was already dizzy from the heat at this time, and he didn't even want to speak.
"Jairus, you turn back into human form, I'll fly by myself." Zixian Dao.
Jairus shook her head and continued to move forward with perseverance.
As he flew, he fantasized that if only there was a pond, he would jump into it without hesitation......
"Jairus, wait!" Zixian summoned Jair.
Jairus stopped flying and asked suspiciously, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
Zixian pointed to a crescent-shaped sand pit below and said, "Where it falls, I'm going to take a look......"
Hearing this, Jianxi slowly landed next to the sand pit with Zixian in tow.
I saw that on the side of the pit, there was a stone tablet that had been eroded by the wind and sand to be extremely mottled, and the handwriting on it had almost been smoothed, but it was still vaguely recognizable.
"The mountains sing with their spirits, and the water is beautiful with their gods."
Zixian showed a look of reminiscence, and said: "It's really the Crescent Spring, I haven't seen it for more than three years, and now I actually see this stone tablet again." ”
Jairus looked at the sand pit without a trace of moisture, and said uncertainly, "Crescent moon...... Spring? Master, are you sure there was a spring here? ”
"Of course there is, the spring of Crescent Spring. It's full of aura...... However, it seems to have dried up now. ”
Alas, even the crescent spring, which is known as "the sand does not cover the spring since ancient times, and the spring does not dry up", has dried up. Presumably the rest of the desert should be even worse...... Zixian thought, and there was really something wrong in his heart.
"Master, look, it's strange that there's still green over there." Jairus suddenly spoke.
Zixian heard this. After looking closely, I saw that there was a tender green grass bud popping up at the original spring of the Crescent Spring.
The grass sprouts were so small and thin that if they weren't for the sharp eyes, it would have been hard to spot.
Zixian had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and immediately ran over, carefully uncovering the tender and fragile leaves, and saw that there were seven tiny silver spots on it.
Jianwei saw that Zixian was so interested in a grass, so she asked, "Master, what is the reputation of this grass?" ”
Zixian carefully dug out the grass sprouts and put them into the pagoda, his clear eyes were full of light: "This should be the legendary Seven Star Grass." I didn't expect this trip to the West Desert to have unexpected gains! ”
"Seven Star Grass?" Jairus was puzzled.
"Well, it is said that there is also an ironback fish in this crescent spring, and the two can live forever if they eat together." Zixian said excitedly.
"Immortality is just a matter of immortality, and it can be achieved through a thousand years of cultivation. With the master's current strength, he has already been immortal. Jairus said disapprerovingly.
"I know. But my sister and Master grow old and die...... What's the point of living a long time without them in the future? ”
Jairus nodded: "I understand...... Master, I'll help you find the ironback. ”
Jairus said, closing her eyes and carefully feeling the fluctuations of the aura around her.
After a moment, Jairus opened her eyes. Pointing to a spot in the center of the crescent moon spring, he said, "It's down here, two feet deep, it's buried." But I'm afraid it's already dried fish. ”
"It doesn't matter if the fish is dried, it's meant to be eaten anyway. Can you dig it out? Zixian asked.
"I'll try." Jairus said, waving her huge claws. Begin to dig the sand in the bunker with all his might.
"Who is destroying the Crescent Moon Spring here!" A faint voice swept through your ears like a breeze.
Zixian turned his head suddenly, but saw nothing. I was wondering if the weather was too hot and I was hallucinating, but I saw Jairus stop moving in his hand.
"I can't imagine that there is no water here, and there is still a dragon god to protect it." Jaireyes pulled her lips and smiled, and said to a small insect that suddenly appeared in front of her.
Zixian leaned over, only to find that the "little worm" was actually a miniature version of the dragon. The dragon horn dragon is full of scales, but its size is only the size of an earthworm, and if you don't look closely, you will really think of it as a worm.
"Of course, our family will guard this crescent spring for generations. It's just that I didn't expect that in my generation, it would become like this. The dragon god of Crescent Moon Spring said, his expression becoming a little gloomy.
Zixian asked curiously, "So you are also a dragon god, but why is your body so small?" ”
The dragon god of Crescent Moon Spring had a look on his face, but after a moment, he stiffened his chest calmly, and said, "Although I am small, I am also a dragon god, which is recorded in the archives of the Heavenly Court!" ”
Jairus smiled on the side and said, "Master, let me tell you." There is a certain relationship between the size of our dragon god and the area of water under its jurisdiction. Now that the crescent moon spring under his jurisdiction doesn't even have water, of course his body can only be so big. ”
"Oh? In this way, you are also in charge of a large part of the water, why have you never heard of it? Zixian asked.
"Hehe, it's not that I didn't say it, it's that the owner didn't ask. If I bring it up myself, it looks like I'm showing it off. Jairus scratched her head, embarrassed.
Zixian smiled knowingly: "Have time to take me to see how your jurisdiction is?" ”
Jairus nodded again and again: "It must be." The water in my jurisdiction is clear, the products are abundant, there are many fish and shrimp, and there are several scenic coral islands. ”
When the dragon god of Crescent Moon Spring heard Jairsy boasting about his jurisdiction, he looked at the bleak situation of his own jurisdiction, and his heart was very unhappy, so he interrupted: "I am already miserable, and you still come to rub salt on my wounds." ”
Only then did Zixian turn his attention back to the dragon god of Crescent Spring: "I'm sorry, we didn't mean that." ”
The dragon god of the Crescent Moon Spring sighed, and said with a sad expression: "Speaking of which, I can't actually blame you, if you want to blame me, I can only blame myself for my low mana, and I can't save the Crescent Spring." ”
Jairus snorted coldly and said, "It's good that you know." ”
Zixian hurriedly stopped his eyes. (To be continued.) )
