Everyone was falling, and the snow-capped mountains were torn apart and collapsed in less than three breaths. The lake below, tumbling and tumbling, is like a cauldron on top of a stove, steaming everything above. The people of all the major sects were frightened, and they went to find a foothold in a similar way, so how could they have time to deal with Lu Xin.

Two blue rays of light rushed up to the sky and fused with the original blue light, forming a huge vortex in the void. Lu Xin, who was unconscious, was carried by the light emitted by the jade pendant on his chest, and quickly flew into the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace. What he didn't see was a huge tree, rising from the bottom of the lake, piercing the entire iceberg. The branches are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun as far as the eye can see.

"The power of the jade pendant, why is it so familiar? And with this tree, it is the same breath......"

Ji Yu stood on a leaf of the big tree, looking around, and the incomparably vast Fengdu ghost domain came into view. The tree in front of me is so huge that when you are in it, it is like entering a whole new world, smaller than an ant. The leaves under his feet were very soft, but they could hold him all in. The whole tree took on a metallic dark green color, expanding and contracting every ten breaths, as if it was breathing.

"The master once said that in the big puppet country outside the Western Regions, there is a demon tree, which is a remnant of the flood wilderness. dwells in the abyss, but covers the sky and the sun. Could it be that this tree is also a demon? ”

Ji Yu's face was ugly, and at this time, he could no longer care about the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon Ding and the Yin Yang Youxian Sword. The changes in Fengdu Ghost Domain were far beyond his ability to deal with them. How to get out of this strange world is his top priority.

Suzhou, within the Yumen Pass, is a thriving desert city. Lu Xin woke up from an endless nightmare, opened his eyes and looked around, and found himself lying on a bed made of weeds. The house is dilapidated, with plenty of holes in the walls and roof. A young man dressed in tatters was boiling something over the fire, and the air was filled with the smell of medicinal soup. Lu Xin felt a little thirsty and couldn't help coughing twice. When the young man heard this, he quickly turned around and walked over. He looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and his face was dirty, like a beggar.

"Big brother, you're finally awake."

"Who are you and what is this place?"

"Me? I don't have a name, and the people in the city call me Little Monkey. You've been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and I thought you wouldn't survive. ”

As he spoke, the boy turned around and picked up the pot on the stove. Inside were the remnants of herbs that had long since been boiled and the foul-smelling medicinal soup. After the young man blew for a while, he motioned to Lu Xin to drink it, although the taste of the medicine was unpleasant, Lu Xin still drank it all in one go. To his surprise, the medicinal soup smelled unpleasant, but there was no bitter taste after entering the mouth, and there was even a faint hint of sweetness and sourness, which cleared his throat. According to the boy, it was a miracle medicine he had asked for from a temple in the city, and it could cure all diseases.

"Little monkey, what's the name of this place? Where did you find me? ”

After Lu Xin drank the medicine, his body slowly became conscious. He tried to get out of bed, but his whole body was sore, and his speed was very slow. Through internal vision, he found that the originally broken meridians and broken five internal organs in his body had all been healed. This surprised him and began to recall his experience before he fell into a coma.

He still clearly remembered that his body was smashed into the ice pit by Wang Qi's spell, his feet were cracked, and the meridians in his body were broken. Cao Fu wanted to save him after fusing the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon Ding, but was taken away from the snow mountain by Wang Qi with the Ten Thousand Souls Immortal Array. Since then, he has been surrounded by people from various sects. The people of the Ghost Mother Sect wanted to get Cao Fu's identity and the whereabouts of the Yin Yang Youxian Sword from themselves, so they stepped forward and cast a spell, and then he fell unconscious. As for what happened after that, and how he escaped from the Fengdu Ghost Domain, he has no memory.

Fortunately, it was supposed to be a mortal ending, but now that he has survived, Lu Xin is already very content. Later, during a chat with the baby monkey, it was learned that he was found by a lake in the desert. At that time, the whole body was shrouded in a layer of blue light, like a god in the sky. And the place where the little monkey brought him back is called Dunhuang City.

Dunhuang is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor and has been a node city on the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty. From Dunhuang to the northwest walk a few dozen miles, you can reach the Yumen Pass. Outside the Yumen Pass, there are the countries of the Western Regions that are completely different from the Central Plains.

Lu Xin was shocked, the capital city and Dunhuang were separated by thousands of miles, how could he appear in such a distant place? Could it be that the exit of the Fengdu Ghost Domain is connected somewhere in this space? At this time, Lu Xin naturally couldn't figure it out. After chatting with the little monkey for more than half an hour, he decided to go to the lake where he was unconscious to see if he could find any clues.

The residence of the little monkey is a Taoist temple in Dunhuang City that has been abandoned for decades, and it has long been dilapidated. It's a standard slum surrounded by poor people. The little monkey is an orphan who grew up in Dunhuang. When times are good, he helps merchants who come and go to carry goods for a living. If the situation is not good, you can only beg on the streets. Although life was hard, it was not starved to death.

The ruined temple is in the corner of the east of the city, and if you want to get out, you need to pass through the most prosperous street market in the whole Dunhuang, and then go out of the city through the west gate and enter the desert. Along the way, the little monkeys are telling the history of Dunhuang City and the changes in the past ten years. One of the biggest changes was the flourishing of Buddhism in Dunhuang. In the city, there are twenty or thirty temples of all sizes. Everywhere on the street, you can see the monks of the Yuan, as well as a large number of Buddha statues and murals. This phenomenon began with the policy of promoting Buddhism during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui. After the Tang Dynasty, the power of Buddhism spread throughout the Yumen Pass. The people of the city believed in the monks and were willing to give charity. Because of this, the orphaned little monkey was able to survive this troubled time.

Out of the slums of Dongcheng, Lu Xin gradually discovered the prosperity of Dunhuang City. Here, developed commerce and trade are almost the only source of economy. As the largest city in front of the Yumen Pass, countless merchants from the Tang Dynasty and merchants from the Western Regions, Tibet, and Turkic countries mingled and gathered here. The silk and porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, the horses, cattle and sheep of the Turks, the jewelry and furs of the Western Regions are all transited here. Everywhere on the street, you can see blue-eyed and high-nosed people from the Western Regions, speaking a variety of different languages, but still presenting an incomparably harmonious picture.

Dunhuang is different from Chang'an City, although Chang'an's west and east markets have goods from all over the world. But it lacks a kind of wind and dust, walking the world's reckless rivers and lakes. The various pedestrians you see in Dunhuang are completely the most authentic side. Everyone's face showed a ruthlessness. are all fighting desperately for different purposes, and they are not even afraid of life and death.

Although the little monkey is young, it can be regarded as a local snake in the city. People from all walks of life know some of them. The two men had only walked on the street for more than ten minutes before four or five businessmen greeted him. Two of them are even from Tianzhu Kingdom.

"It's the autumn harvest season, and these people want to come to Datang to buy grain, and then ship it to the countries of the Western Regions to sell it at a high price. Don't look at them smiling at you on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are very shrewd. Some time ago, a monk from Chang'an gave a lecture in the city, attracting a large group of people. They immediately united with several businesses and doubled the price of vegetables in the city. ”

"A monk from Chang'an? When did you leave? What is the name of the law? ”

When Lu Xin heard the words, he suddenly stopped, very shocked. The little monkey was stunned for a moment, and then recalled: "That monk is very young, at most in his early twenties. I've heard people say that he is the great master of the Pure Land Temple, and his Dharma name is Xuan or something...... I don't remember exactly. In short, the monk was in the Nine Lotus Temple in the city, and he talked about Buddhism for three days and three nights, and his mouth never stopped for a moment. And below, it was even full, surrounded by people. Even the abbot of the Nine Lotus Temple received him with the etiquette of a disciple. Tut-tut, in retrospect, that monk is really one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. As for when you left, it must have been more than ten days ago, just a few days before I found you. Big brother, look at your appearance, do you know him? ”

"I don't know, but I know who he is."

Lu Xin shook his head and motioned for the little monkey to continue leading the way. Xuanzang is a figure that is extremely feared by all forces, and he hides a huge secret. And this secret even affects future changes in the current situation. Lu Xin is naturally curious about these. He really wanted to see this Tang monk again, and ask him what he saw when he looked at him in Chang'an City.

While thinking about it in his heart, Lu Xin soon arrived at the gate of the city under the leadership of the little monkey. Looking out, the yellow sand swept across the sky, indescribably desolate. There are mountains in the distance, but they are all bare, and it is difficult to see a little greenery. The little monkey pointed to a direction for Lu Xin to see, and there was an oasis in the desert about thirty miles to the northwest. Lu Xin was found on the edge of one of the lakes.

Now that he knows the direction, Lu Xin naturally won't hesitate. But just as he was about to take a step, a huge sandstorm broke out at the end of the horizon. The endless wind and sand covered the entire sky in an instant. Sometimes it is pitch black, sometimes lightning and thunder, as if it is pregnant with another world. When the little monkey saw this scene, his face suddenly changed wildly, and he said in shock: "Go, go back to the city, this is the black storm." Once involved, there are no bones left. ”

As he spoke, the little monkey quickly retreated back into the city. Lu Xin frowned slightly, feeling an unusual aura. To be precise, there was a powerful demonic aura inside the sandstorm, which made his hair stand on end.

"What kind of monster, with such powerful mana?"
