Side story: The beauty that disappears

The vast desert, the dead sea of sand.

The sand waves are surging forward, and the continuous undulating sand dunes are like an invisible giant hand, peeling off the desert layer after layer, and at the same time, it also stirs the hearts of pedestrians walking in the vast desert little by little.

The boundless desert is like a golden sea, and the sun shines on the vast sky, shining with ten thousand points of light, as if reflecting the countless golden sand and gravel above the desert.

However, in the endless desert, at this moment, the wind is blowing, the sand grains are flying, the sky is dark, it is simply a world of sand, and there is no place at all.

"Damn, damn the weather!"

Although it is not the first time that the businessmen have experienced such a storm, they still feel a headache. They had no choice but to lie down and cover their mouths and noses with clothing.

However, this time the wind and sand were a little more terrifying than before, and the whistling sound was like a tiger descending from the mountain, making them tremble as ordinary people who did not have any practitioners.

Fortunately, however, when the storm passed, no one was injured and the cargo was unharmed on the camel's back.

"Haha, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future!"

The merchant at the head laughed loudly, and his original look of fear was swept away.

It seems that the Silk Road, where the legendary gods traveled, really sheltered them.

Thanks to the gift of the gods, the merchant was about to move on, but at the moment when the hired man pulled the camel, the cold killing intent stimulated his back like a thorn, making people feel like falling into a cold pool.

"Stop! I opened this road, and I planted this tree! If you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money! ”

Facing the fierce and domineering horse thieves, they appeared out of nowhere, and the blades in their hands that shimmered with cold light, as well as the greed that burst out of their eyes, warned everyone.

"But there are no trees or roads here."

Businessmen are also honest and honest.

Because he believes that the Silk Road is the footprints left by the gods.

"Cut, don't talk nonsense, quickly hand over your goods to me, or wait for someone else to collect the body!"

The thief shouted impatiently, his nimble fingers constantly shaking the blade, threatening the merchant.

"We have the Great Wall Guards behind us! They're nearby! ”

Someone shouted, but the trembling voice seemed so weak.

"The Great Wall Guard?!"

Hearing the title of this team, the horse thieves visibly hesitated.

The Great Wall Guards, for the entire desert, are almost like saviors, and are admired by thousands of people.

Moreover, their strength, everyone is also obvious to allβ€”β€”β€”β€” destroying the Eye of the Tyrant in the depths of the desert.

It can be said that if anyone dares to provoke them, it is the real lifeless choice.

Therefore, even the horse thieves and bandits who wandered between the Gobi oases were deeply afraid of the guards of the Great Wall and did not dare to act lightly.

These horse thieves really couldn't bear the temperament, so they appeared on the Silk Road and wanted to make a lot of money.

I heard the five words of the Great Wall Guards just now, even if they were vicious, they were suppressed, but they quickly reacted, it was just a bluff.

"Haha, even if the Great Wall Guards come today, you have to leave the goods for me!"

The horse thief laughed arrogantly, and at the same time carried a large knife, and walked towards the merchant and his party domineeringly.

"Oh, really?"

Suddenly, before he even had time to blink his eyelids, the ghostly figure appeared in front of the horse thief as if by magic, accompanied by the ghostly voice that suddenly rang in his ears.

"Whew!"

With a miserable scream, the horse thief led by Lu Yu was directly punched and flew away, fell into the desert, and couldn't get up again.

"Anyone else want to give it a try?"

Lu Yu hooked his index finger and smiled provocatively at the horse thieves, but before three seconds, they directly turned into birds and beasts and fled.

The terrified appearance was even more terrifying than when the merchants ran into them.

"Really, am I so terrible, I'm obviously a handsome guy."

"Horse thieves never look at their faces."

Garo walked with a smile as gentle as water, fresh and refined, as if he were an oasis in the middle of this dry and barren desert.

The two of them also politely refused the merchant's grateful, because there were more important things waiting for them to complete.

"Lu Yu, if the demon seed also has a human-like consciousness, then do you say that they will be the same as these horse thieves?"

Walking in the desert, Jia Luo suddenly asked Lu Yu.

"Why do you ask such a question?"

Lu Yu asked curiously.

"Lu Yu, I feel that we humans are losing some beautiful things. Kindness, gentleness, and guarding the essence of these human beings, which originally belonged to us, seem to be slowly fading"

The beautiful eyelashes drooped, and Garo's voice was small, and between the eyebrows, there was an indescribable bitterness.

Why there was such a strange feeling all of a sudden, Garo himself did not know.

Just as the Eye of Annihilation said, even if it disappears, the darkness in the human heart will never dissipate, only swelling more and more, and eventually destroying itself.

Greed, selfishness, hatred, bullying, and wanton playing with the fate of others

The dark side of human nature is even more feared than the ferocity of the demon seed.

Did the people who plunged the Thousand Caves into the flames of war commit such an unforgivable crime for their own selfish desires?

Thinking of this, the confusion in my heart grew more and more irrepressibly.

"Humans aren't perfect, but don't be disappointed."

I don't know when, the night is approaching, the temperature plummets, and even the air that comes out of it turns into a cloud of white mist and drifts in front of me.

Although some of them couldn't see each other's faces, their eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

"In everyone's heart, there is a dark side, but there is also a bright side, just like this world, since there is day, then there must be night."

"No one is absolutely righteous, and no one is absolutely bright. We are simply playing our part and fulfilling the mission that was originally our part. ”

The sky is full of stars, like sand on the desert, innumerable, endless.

Lu Yu had to admit that as long as it was life, then there would inevitably be its own flaws, whether it was a human being or a demon seed.

"So, when I collect all the books that belong to me, will I no longer have them?"

Garo looked back and smiled, which was amazing at the same time, but it was full of bitterness and helplessness.

"No, your father, and the desire of the entire Thousand Cave City, must be more than that."

Lu Yu looked at Jia Luo's eyes seriously, and said vigorously, "If you want to restore the glory of Thousand Cave City, if you only rely on the collection of books, is there something missing?" Galo, you are the guardian, and you are the last glory of the Thousand Caves City compared to the collection of books. ”

The reason for this thought is probably a glimmer of light seen from the endless fragments of the Heavenly Book.

Perhaps, that glimmer of light is not the collection of books itself, but Galo himself.

"Although the beauty in people's hearts is gradually disappearing, as you said, there will always be a way to bring back the beauty of the past."

If the knowledge and civilization in the collection of books can bring eternal life, can it also bring beauty to the hearts of mankind?

"Are you saying that the knowledge and civilization of Thousand Cave City will go to the entire continent?"

Garo was a little surprised at first, but quickly shook his head, "The power contained in knowledge is coveted by many people. In case, this power is harnessed by an evil heart, then"

The consequences, then, will be unimaginable.

It's like his own father, who was committed to bringing new life to the desert with the civilization of Thousand Cave City, but he was hit by destruction.

"That's the answer we need to find ourselves."

"We?"

"yes, us."

Under the hazy moonlight, Lu Yu's smile slid down his cheeks like flowing water, shining more and more under the silver light.

Garo's gaze was a little dazed, but he was quickly relieved.

Yes, I am not alone, I have reliable friends, and a determined teenager.

If the beauty in people's hearts is gradually disappearing, then they will find them back little by little.

It's like returning the books that have been left in the desert to where they belong.
