Chapter XXXIII. Where
Cheng Yubai spent two days packing his luggage, in fact, there was nothing to prepare, all the important things were stuffed in the storage ring, and he carried a burden to hide people's eyes, which only contained some dry food, water bladders and the clothes he and the cat's carry-on.
Just to go west, you have to pass through the edge of the sand sea, you are not familiar with the place, you have to find a reliable person to lead the way, just rely on the map, in case you get lost in the sand sea, then the fun is great.
Because he was in a hurry to leave, the sweaty horse was pulled to the market by him and sold at a low price, exchanged for two lion-peak camels, and then learned from the stall owner what preparations the martial arts group had set off recently.
Cheng Yubai said that he could pay some money and follow some martial arts troupes along the way, and the stall owner saw that Cheng Yubai was generous and gave him a medium-grade spirit stone as an intermediary fee.
Cheng Yubai put his mind at ease, the so-called martial arts group is actually a merchant group composed of some cultivators with a little mental strength or strong physical functions, they are improving their martial arts value through running business exercises, and on the other hand, they will also make some money by making a living by licking their lives and licking blood, usually they are to maintain the communication between various places in the wasteland.
After all, the nature of the martial arts troupe is there, and it will not easily accept strangers to mix in, and if you want to join, you need to have an intermediary, and the edge of the sand sea is also a notoriously fierce place in this wasteland.
In this forbidden wasteland, those who dare to run around on the edge of the sand sea are brave people. Except for some desperate and unruly merchants who are trying to make ends meet, most of the merchants on the shore of the sand sea will choose to partner with the martial arts group as long as they have a little asset.
It would be best to be able to follow the martial arts troupe to save some effort and less unnecessary trouble.
In the end, Cheng Yubai chose a medium-sized camel team, everyone in the team was dressed in short clothes and long pants and long robes, and the exposed skin was full of red copper color that had been exposed in the wind and sun in the wasteland for a long time.
As for why he didn't choose other scales, Cheng Yubai had his own considerations, the nature of the martial arts group was similar to that of mercenaries, and these people were all outlaws soaked in the blood jar. Large personnel are complex, he is not suitable for cats, and small ...... Don't forget that their wanted notices are still hanging at the gates of various cities, and the border of the sand sea is vast, and it will take at least a month to go out, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in getting along for a long time.
Cheng Yubai agreed on the date of the trip with the camel team, and when he saw that it was getting late, he hurried back to the inn, and went upstairs to see that the door of the room was wide open, although he knew that the luggage had been packed and there were not many valuable things in the house, he was still a little panicked in his heart, because when he left, the cat was still in the house.
I saw a person in the room sitting at the table with a golden knife, his eyes were not good, Cheng Yubai glanced around, but the cat was nowhere to be seen.
"Little Brother Mo is leaving Gale Township and entering the edge of the Sand Sea, why didn't you tell Brother Wei earlier?" The man was dressed in a neat gray cloth coat wrapped around his sturdy body, with a coarse cloth cloak that he took off when he entered the house at the crook of his arm, and a row of strange pendants in the shape of bamboo pipes inserted in his waist. ”
Cheng Yubai secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the comer, the young master of Crazy Sand City was bold and righteous, and he should not use such a threatening tactic.
The cat should have gone out to buy some things and would be back soon.
Jin Yuepeng is not as upright as the people of the Central Plains, but has the appearance of a person from the Western Regions with a high nose and deep eyes, and is delicate and enchanting. He didn't look very old, twenty-seven or eighteen at most, and his whole face had no rough traces of the wind and sand, but was a little too pale, but the bloody aura that flashed between his eyebrows from time to time added danger to this paleness.
Obviously, this is not a master to be provoked, so you can not offend and try not to offend.
Cheng Yubai thought of this, hugged his fists and said apologetically: "Brother Jin is not strange, I have been taken care of for many days, and the younger brother is very grateful." Suddenly, the younger brother learned the whereabouts of the person he had been looking for, and in a hurry, he couldn't take care of it. ”
"It's too good to take care of a lot." Jin Yuepeng snorted coldly and said angrily, "Where did you put my sister?" ”
"Sister?"
"Jin Fengyao."
"Jin Fengyao !!" Cheng Yubai was shocked and lost his voice, the violent woman is this person's sister, although both of them have the surname Jin and the painting style is too different!
She looks like a man completely, and he only treats her as a brother, okay?
This kindness had to make Cheng Yubai admit that he was a little unbearable.
However, isn't it good to refuse so bluntly in front of someone's own brother?
Jin Yuepeng coughed twice, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Yes...... Yes...... When she heard that you were leaving, she asked me to ask you what you thought of her, and if you had a crush on her...... She doesn't mind marrying you and leaving with you before you leave. ”
"This love is appreciated by the little brother, but the little brother already has someone he likes." Cheng Yubai hurriedly waved his hand and refused the warm request that the sister conveyed to him through her brother.
Jin Yuepeng sighed with a little pity: "Is the person you like the girl who went in and out with you?" ”
Cheng Yubai looked strange: "You mean cats?" ”
Wait, what the hell is that weird tone of yours?
"In my opinion, that girl is too weak, and with you, it is really a flower stuck in cow dung! I think my sister is more suitable for you, my sister can be civil and martial, go to the hall, go down to the battlefield, you can't find such an outstanding person in the world, missing her, it will be the regret of your life! Why don't you think about it again? ”
But spare him, Cheng Yubai arched his hand beggingly, the values and mate selection of people in this place are really strange, he is really respectful and stays away, thank you Bumin, thank him!
Looks like a big killer is going to have to be sacrificed......
Cheng Yubai picked up the teapot on the table and didn't use the teacup, just poured it into his mouth, cleared his throat, and mustered up the courage to look at Jin Yuepeng seriously.
"I'm really sorry, I can't delay Sister Ling, actually....... The people I like are men. ”
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly fell into a suspicious silence.
Jin Yuepeng stroked the bamboo pipe on his waist with his right hand, silent, and the tips of his ears were red.
Cheng Yubai frowned, why is this atmosphere getting more and more weird?
"Ahem, that ......"
Jin Yuepeng suddenly stood up and interrupted Cheng Yubai: "Needless to say, I know." ”
Ah, hey, you know before I even say you know, you know what!!
Jin Yuepeng's eyes were shining and staring at him: "The person you like is me, I know, but ...... I...... I already have a fiancée, so ..... I'm so sorry...... If you were a woman, if we could have met earlier, I would not have failed you! I understand that you don't want to face me now, and I understand how heartbroken you feel when you are rejected. Therefore, I will not force you, nor will I stop you from leaving this sad place..... I wish you happiness. With that, he left the inn in a hurry.
Cheng Yubai had a zombie face throughout the whole process, completely losing his expression...... When did things turn out like this???
A quarter of an hour later. People walk tea cool.
"Wait! That's not what I meant! I don't like you! ”
I don't know where the person I like is yet......
Cheng Yubai lay on the table in frustration, outside the window, the night was dark and dreary, like an unknown journey about to begin.

[Host, why don't you cheer up a little, is it really good to eat like this and wait for death? It doesn't match your style too much! 】
[So what should I be?] Hard-working, tired, perpetual motion machine?]
【Perpetual motion machine...... Perpetual motion machine ...... (≧ω≦)】
[Hey, wake up, have you become a repeater?]
【Repeater...... Repeater ...... (つω⊂)】
[Chirp chirp, you're still dead!]
【Machine...... Machine...... ......】
Li Mu shielded it in time, and the silence in the cave returned, and there was a thousand years of vicissitudes and corruption in the darkness.
Don't look at the fact that he still has time to gag with 0017, in fact, he is not comfortable.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes were tightly closed, as if he was in great pain, and his once agile long eyelashes covered his eyelids silently, like stiff butterfly wings.
......................................................
......................................................
The years have passed, and I don't know how long it has been.
Low footsteps echoed in the empty space, and there was no wind, but for some reason, the only flame in this huge stone chamber suddenly began to swing, and the light gradually became stronger.
The darkness is like a ghost, silent and unfathomable, and I don't know how many demons and demons are staring at the people in this light in that darkness.
"It's been five years, haven't you thought it through? They are not your kindred, king. Look at how they treat you, rejecting, resenting, hating...... This is the human world you like, that is the human race that survived under your protection...... You are a demon, we are the same kind, why do you refuse, tell me, why you always refuse to face reality!"
The whitefriar's face was as pale as snow, his eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, their eyelashes were dark, and there was an empty silence in his inky pupils.
Without raising his eyes, his slender eyelashes gently covered the top of his eyelids, and there was no trace of joy or anger: "What difference does it make if I refuse or not?" In the past five years, even if I don't agree, nothing you want to do has been left behind. I'm a sword spirit now, and I'm just a sword spirit in the future, and the affairs of your demons have nothing to do with me......"
