Chapter 257: Hebi Desert
Ling Yan didn't just find an inn and entered, he had already seen it, and the scale of this inn should be among the top three in the city. And there have been several waves of people living in this inn, but their cultivation is not high, and I am afraid they are all waiting for the elders of the family to come.
Although this inn is full of dragons and snakes, it stands to reason that it is not suitable for rest, but Ling Yan just values this, and someone has news that he deliberately came down to the lobby to eat at night when there are the most people.
The atmosphere of the inn is a little weird, ordinary people are very happy to eat, but several waves of monks do not like each other. Although it is not enough to fight, they continue to quarrel with each other.
Ling Yan deliberately suppressed his cultivation, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a third-grade Jindan's cultivation in the later stage, and it was similar to Gu Xiaoxian, I thought that this would not attract attention.
Who knows, the moment they walked down the lobby, all eyes were on them.
"MD, another one. Someone spat angrily.
The others glanced at it, but when Ling Yan and Gu Xiaoxian were also here to try their luck, they ignored it and started talking again.
Ling Yan frowned slightly and continued to walk down. The two of them sat down at a random table and ordered a few more dishes at random. Ling Yan didn't seem to care, but in fact, from the moment he went down to the lobby, he began to prick up his ears to listen to the conversation at the next table.
It turned out that these young people were not waiting for the head of the family to come to support, but that all the elders in the family had gone to the Hebi Desert.
It is very likely that the big stone slab is the gateway to another world, and several forces have already fought, and the follow-up people are also rushing here day and night.
These people are talking clearly, as if the other two locations are really nothing special.
Ling Yan didn't know what the real situation was, so he had to go and see it for himself to find out.
Taking advantage of the night, Ling Yan decided that he would go to see it by himself first, it was originally inconvenient to take Gu Xiaoxian to hurry at night, but he was alone, he came and went freely, and it was very fast to go back and forth.
If the front is really a pot of porridge, it is not safe for him to take Gu Xiaoxian with him, on the other hand, the inn is full of low-level monks, and Gu Xiaoxian has his jade pendant to defend himself.
After dinner, Ling Yan informed Xiao Zuo and Xiao You respectively through the sound transmission stone: "After the investigation, if there is no space gate, come to Wuqu City and Donglin Inn quickly." ”
Informing Xiao Zuo and Xiao Right was just in case, if the big stone slab in the Hebi Desert was indeed the door of space, then it would be pointless for Xiao Zuo and Xiao Right to stay where they were.
And he is afraid that he will have to stay in the Hebi Desert to stabilize the situation, and when the time comes, Gu Xiaoxian will be alone in the inn, he will definitely let Xiao Zuo and Xiao You take her to the Hebi Desert.
If the result of his investigation at night is not, then he can return to the inn before dawn, and then he will only wait for Xiao Zuo and Xiao You's notice before acting.
"Knock knock knock. Ling Yan was about to leave when there was a knock on the door.
As soon as Ling Yan opened the door, Gu Xiaoxian threw herself into Ling Yan's arms with a smile, Ling Yan subconsciously hugged Gu Xiaoxian, lowered his head and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, where are you going to go in this dress?" Gu Xiaoxian didn't answer Ling Yan's question, but threw back a new question.
"I'll go to the Hebi Desert to have a look. ”
"Aren't you going to take me?" Gu Xiaoxian raised her head and looked at Ling Yan playfully.
"Wait here for me, I'll be back before dawn. Ling Yan said softly.
"What should I do if I don't come back?" Gu Xiaoxian continued to ask.
"If I don't come back, then Xiao Zuo and Xiao You will come to pick you up soon. Ling Yan patiently explained.
"Hmph, you're really lying! You just said that you came back before dawn!" Gu Xiaoxian pouted and said angrily.
“...... No, I'm not lying to you, I'll have to go through it first. Ling Yan didn't know how to explain it, and he had never had the experience of coaxing people.
"Hmph, Ling Yan is a big liar!" Gu Xiaoxian said unrelentingly.
"......" When did Ling Yan see this posture, he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Say I'm sorry!" Gu Xiaoxian also saw Ling Yan's embarrassment, and she immediately gave a step.
"I'm sorry. Ling Yan didn't feel embarrassed to apologize, since Gu Xiaoxian gave him the steps, he naturally stepped on it and came down.
"Then you can take me with you. Gu Xiaoxian begged.
"No, I don't know what the situation is there, and if there is danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. Ling Yan's words are true, since all the major forces are there, there are masters of the same magnitude as him, Gu Xiaoxian can't even bear the aftermath of the battle.
And this idea is extremely likely, otherwise these low-level monks would not have stayed in this small Wuqu City.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here. Gu Xiaoxian also knew that Ling Yan would never be untargeted, if she still had to forcibly follow, it would be a bit unreasonable, and when the time came, she could only drag her feet.
Ling Yan stretched out his hand and stroked Gu Xiaoxian's cheek, and said in a soft tone, "Wait for me to come back." With that, he gently dropped a kiss on Gu Xiaoxian's forehead.
"Hmm!" Gu Xiao nodded shyly.
Ling Yan smiled slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Gu Xiaoxian's obedient appearance.
"I'll be back soon!" Ling Yan turned and left.
Gu Xiaoxian looked at the direction of Ling Yan's departure, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and she smiled self-deprecatingly.
At night, the temperature in this small town on the edge of the desert plummets, and apart from the occasional tavern, there are few pedestrians on the streets.
The aborigines of Wuqu City also seem to be accustomed to going to bed early, if it weren't for the fact that so many uninvited guests have suddenly come in recent days, the night in Wuqu City would be even more peaceful.
Although it is not a place where spiritual veins gather, the starry sky at night is exceptionally clear, although it is not as good as Star City, but it is better than many large towns.
Gu Xiaoxian returned to the house, took out a futon, sat cross-legged, took out another pill and took it, and then closed his eyes and started the exercises.
Evening is the best time to practice the Nirvana Sutra, and Gu Xiaoxian naturally won't waste it. She also thought that one day she would be able to open the door of space again and return to the Fairy Spirit Continent. If you don't cultivate diligently, you won't wait for her to come back, and the deadline will come first.
Gu Xiaoxian had her own little abacus in her heart, she ran the exercises over and over again, and the power of the stars flowed into the meridians endlessly.
The Nirvana Sutra has already been learned, the door has already been opened, and it originally needs to be stable for a while, but Gu Xiaoxian has just formed a golden pill, and he has entered a different space where he cannot communicate with the stars.
Originally, the divine consciousness that was stronger than that of a monk of the same level because the door was opened was also completely suppressed in Z City, but fortunately, Xiao Ding Ning acted as a humanoid radar all the way, which avoided many dangers.
