Chapter Ninety-Eight

The vast desert, thousands of miles of yellow sand!

In the rolling sea of sand, a team of dozens of people led camels, against the wind and sand slowly, most of them wore desert clothes, sand and sun protection, only five or six people were crowned and robed, the leader of the person carried a wooden box, and held a nine-section scepter in his hand, white beard and silver hair, crane hair and childish face.

"Dao Chief! Is this Xuanhuang Pill so difficult to refine? We have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and now we are going to the desert! Haven't found a suitable feng shui treasure to refine the elixir? When night fell, everyone else was camping, setting up tents, and lighting bonfires, and the chubby Master Liu naturally wouldn't do these rough jobs, so he walked directly to Li Changding's side and asked.

At this time, it has been half a year since I left Jiuhua County and set off to find the feng shui treasure of alchemy. In the past six months, Liu Papi followed Li Changding and others to the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, searching for famous mountains and scenic spots everywhere, trying to find qualified feng shui treasures, but naturally found nothing.

In the past half a year, Liu Papi has been tired. Walking in the wilderness, living in a ruined temple thatched house, eating wild vegetables and mountain fruits, it can be said that except for the days when he was a child and his uncle depended on each other, he has never lived such a hard life!

Moreover, if Li Changding met a patient on the way, he would have to treat them, and if he came to a populous town, he would inevitably have to stay for a period of time, at least five days, or at most ten days, to treat those poor people, and of course if the rich could afford the high medical expenses, he would also take action.

Of course, during this time, Mr. Liu can live happily for a few days, go shopping if you want to go shopping, drink flower wine and drink flower wine, and eat mountain and sea delicacies!

If it weren't for Li Changding's occasional "forgetfulness" to give Liu Papi an anti-itch pill, he really hoped that the journey to find the treasure of feng shui would stay in those bustling towns forever!

"The Xuanhuang Yiqi Pill is an out-and-out elixir, refining such an elixir is naturally to find a fairy cave mansion, how can it be so easy to find such a feng shui treasure land." Li Changding replied lightly.

"Okay, Master Liu, go and rest. I'm going to have to hurry tomorrow morning. Li Changding didn't want to say more, turned around and walked to his tent, there have been several similar conversations in the past six months, basically when Liu Papi can't bear the hardships and wants to quit, it seems that tomorrow he should "forget" to give him anti-itch pills to help him refresh himself.

Li Changding walked into the tent, put down the wooden box, took out a notebook, lit the oil lamp, and read carefully in the dim yellow light.

Carefully flipping through the notes in his hand, Li Changding took out the pen and ink again and revised and outlined on it. This notebook is divided into two volumes.

The records in the Kun book are all the famous mountains and rivers and some of the Yangtze River mountains and rivers that he traveled and surveyed along the way, and the hydrological waves, no matter how big or small, are all in the record.

The books are all about the stars of the Zhou sky, the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, as well as the clouds and rain everywhere, and the circulation of the atmosphere.

There is also a part of the blank space next to the notes and texts, where there are some annotations by Li Changding, all of which are speculative and generalized words, which are fragments of his thoughts on exploring the qi of the thick earth Kunde and the qi of the Qiantian Yuanyang and the laws and mysteries of Zhou Tian Xingdou, and he wrote them in the notebook casually.

After looking through the notes in his hand for a while, summarizing and summarizing, and exploring the mysteries, Li Changding then took out an ancient book from the wooden box -- "Geographical Chronicles", which also recorded many mountains and rivers, and also had a general description of the mountains and mountains of the Central Plains.

"Geographical Chronicles" describes, the Central Plains land, the plains are staggered, the mountains are continuous, there are two main veins, known as two big dragons, one heads upward, as if to rise from the clouds, up to the sky, one leans down, as if to turn over into the ground, the leylines are deep, therefore, one is called the Xuanlong, the other is called the Yellow Dragon.

Xuanhuang Xuanhuang, Xuanhuang refers to the sky, and Huang refers to the earth.

There is also an interesting story about these two main dragons, which is related to the creation of the world. Of course, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the content in this story, and Li Changding only paid attention to it a little and did not study it in detail.

As for these two main vein dragons, Li Changding has been inspecting the field for the past six months and found that there is a valley where they intersect and circle, which is the best treasure place for refining Xuanhuang Yiqi Pill. It's a pity that the Dan Furnace in his hand can't be used and he can't start refining, so now what he is looking for is actually the materials and treasure land for refining the Dan Furnace, not the Xuanhuang Yiqi Dan.

Staying in the tent, Li Changding was reading alone, and outside the tent, everyone barbecued dry food on the bonfire and began to eat dinner.

After dinner, a few people were left to keep vigil outside, and the others went back to rest, Liu Papi was tired for a day, braved the wind and sand for a day, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes in the quilt. Originally, he wanted to buy a few fans to follow, so that he could warm the quilt and have a pastime in his spare time, but he was determined by Li Chang and had no choice but to give up.

As for Li Changding's entry into the tent and never came out, no one thought it was strange, for more than half a year, he was like this, and he had never seen him eat, just like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, and everyone thought he was mysterious.

Of course, Liu Papi absolutely didn't believe that Li Changding was really an immortal, and he estimated that Li Changding must have eaten it secretly in private, although he never caught the evidence.

The night in the desert is particularly cold, and the guards who are keeping vigil outside are Yun Ya and Liu Papi's bodyguards, a few people take care of a few bonfires, and at the same time guard the surroundings, the yellow sand is sparsely populated, but there is never a lack of dirty sins.

This world is different from the world of Li Changding's previous life, because there is the Silk Road in the desert, and it is a prosperous business, and caravans are shuttling back and forth. There is only one land in this world, floating on the sea, there is no Western Europe, and there is not even Tianzhu.

But there are treasures in the West of this world.

Crossing the desert and continuing to the northwest, there is a big snow mountain, but there are many gold veins, and many mountains are rich in jade and jewelry, so the trade routes in this desert are also very prosperous, and the silk and tea from the Central Plains are transported to the big snow mountain in exchange for gold, gems and other treasures, such as the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains.

Commerce in this desert is also very prosperous.

Of course, in the same way, those capitalless transactions without capital are also very prosperous, even to the point of rampant.

Inside the tent, Li Changding read the books, lifted the nine-section scepter, got up and walked out of the tent, facing the wind and sand, and walked out of the station with a light demeanor, without alarming anyone, as if walking slowly and quickly towards the depths of the desert, and disappeared into the dark night after a while.

Before coming, Li Changding inquired about it, there are several groups of sand thieves in this desert, killing people and goods, taking captives, and doing all kinds of evil. And cunning and treacherous, the nearby chamber of commerce, as well as several small countries, have worked together to encircle and suppress many times, but they haven't even touched the shadow of the sand thieves, but they have caused revenge and suffered heavy losses.

It just so happened that Li Changding was in urgent need of merit recently, so in addition to treating diseases and saving people, he also carried out the business of punishing evil and killing bandits, and his performance was good.

Li Changding, who was proficient in the art of feng shui, looked forward to the qi and tried to find a suitable place for human habitation nearby.

The sand thieves are not only cunning and ferocious, but also have treacherous whereabouts, and no one knows where their nest is. It is also because of this that the forces outside cannot exterminate it.

Li Changding didn't know where the sand thieves lived, but he knew how to look at qi and feng shui, and he would follow the earth's qi and find a place suitable for human habitation, and he would always find a target.

Sure enough, in just an hour, Li Changding found the sand bandits' den.

Standing outside the gate of the cottage, quietly listening to the noisy noise inside the cottage, among which there are rude and reckless men shouting and scolding in foreign languages, cups and cups, and more women's exclamations and cries, painful begging, and beating and scolding.

What must be special about today, why is it so carnival.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, Li Changding couldn't help frowning, sighed, pulled out a long sword from the nine-section scepter, and slowly walked towards the cottage.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Kayali Hayali! A few sand thieves on guard outside the cottage were swearing in foreign languages and chatting with each other. Although Li Changding heard this language for the first time, he quickly understood the meaning: "XXOO's, they are happy inside, and they actually let Lao Tzu eat sand here!" ”

A few sand thieves who were on guard had to complain a few more words, Li Changding swung his sword forward, the blade was sharp, the cold light was shining, like a pool of autumn water, this was the sword given to him by his grandfather - Shenyi.

The cold light of the Shenyi sword flashed, and the tip of the sword tapped the center of the sand thief's eyebrows, and the true qi seemed to burst out like a gossamer, destroying the sand thief's brain, making it silently killed, falling to the ground, and killing people without seeing blood.

====================================================================

Thank you for the reward of the two comrades who are Taoist priests at home, thank you.

In addition, in response to the book review of Comrade Daoyou Barefoot Savage, you said that you always feel that something is missing. Is it the lack of contradictions and conflicts in the plot, as well as the overall atmosphere and charm of the novel, which is not quaint enough, and does not have the feeling of fairy tales and romances?
