The town is located at the northern end of Feisha Lu, near the location of the sand sea, on the desolate Gobi Desert.

The houses made of adobe stone blocks have been baptized by wind and sand for many years, grinding away the edges and corners and leaving mottled ones.

Cao Chen didn't like it here, but he had to take a seat here temporarily. She asked the owner of the Camel Bell Inn that the closest oasis city to here would take a month to walk on. And at this time, the wind and sand have not yet fallen, and it is easy to get lost.

Reluctantly waiting for the convenience of the free man and the sword master, Cao Chen dragged them to the corner opposite the Camel Bell Inn. When he was working here yesterday, Cao Chen had already found that there was a larger flow of people here than where he was yesterday, and if they were allowed to beg here, their income would probably be much better.

After settling the two wastes, Cao Chen entered the Camel Bell Inn.

The shopkeeper had just gotten up and yawned as he moved the door panel. Seeing Cao Chen come in, a bored expression appeared on the shopkeeper's face. "Hey! You little brunette, why are you here again? ”

After being exposed to the sun in the sand sea for so long, Cao Chen's whole body became dark, and his face was full of burnt peeling. Coupled with a tattered and dirty clothes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a flower child who asks for food.

"Hehe, Brother Chen." Cao Chen smiled shyly, "I'll come, I'll come." You rest. Cao Chen hurriedly moved the door panel, and easily pulled the towel off the shoulder of the shopkeeper, and wiped the falling sand on the door panel.

"Hey, it's not that we're ruthless, our shop is small, and we really can't afford to hire a helper." The shopkeeper said, "You better go." ”

"Don't, just have mercy on me, I just need a little leftovers to eat."

"The leftovers are to be fed to the pigs." The shopkeeper said, "You also saw it yesterday, the business is bleak, and there is not much leftovers, so they are all for you to eat, what do our pigs eat?" We can't afford to feed spiritual food all the time. ”

The sound of the two talking alarmed the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, and he couldn't be pestered by Cao Chen, so he had to say, "There will be more cultivators who go to the Sand Sea to hunt the Sand Beast in the past two days, so you can help here first." ”

Cao Chen was naturally very grateful, and ran to the lake outside the town to fetch water, and began to wipe the tables and chairs. After wiping the table and chairs, he began to help the kitchen pick and chop vegetables, and he was also diligent.

Seeing that Cao Chen had picked up all the vegetable leaves he had picked up, and handed them to the two Hanako who were sitting in the corner opposite the inn, he couldn't help asking, "These two are with you?" ”

"Two friends." Cao Chen said, "The meridians are broken, and I can't take care of myself anymore." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said, "The meridians are broken, ......" was silent for a moment, and then turned to leave. After a while, Fu came back and handed Cao Chen a pair of clothes, "My daughter's clothes, you can change them first, then wash your face and comb your hair." It's dirty, and the guests will be disgusted when they see it. ”

Cao Chen thanked him, changed his clothes in the firewood room in the backyard of the inn, washed his face and combed his hair, and then came out to work. When the shopkeeper saw Cao Chen, he was stunned for a moment and grinned, "Don't say it, you look pretty good in this dress, but it's a little darker." ”

Cao Chen grinned, noncommittal.

The business of the inn was indeed not very good, Cao Chen packed up all the things that should be packed, and even stayed for a long time before waiting for the first guest.

The man who came was a strong man in his forties, dusty, and his beard was full of dust.

"Third Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a year, it's always been good." The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

The third brother Zhang washed his face in the basin of water called by Cao Chen, and then smiled at the shopkeeper, "Old Chen, your business is going to be hot this year." ”

"Oh? Why did the third brother say this? Old Chen said. Now there are fewer and fewer cultivators who come to this sand sea to hunt the Smoothie Beast. If it's not bad, I'll be content, so why talk about fire? ”

"Hey, you've been nesting in this camel bell town all year round, and the news is blocked." Zhang Sange said, "Someone found a Yan Cave in Zhongzhou, and according to legend, there is a high probability that there is an ancient magic weapon in it, and there are many benefits to cultivating in that Yan Cave. It's just that it's too hot in the Yan Cave, and there is no ice attribute magic weapon, so I can't stay. ”

"Shhh...... In this way, this business is really going to be on fire. Old Chen said with a smile, "Although the ice teeth of the Smoothie Beast are not too good, they are very good for resisting the heat." ”

"That's right." Zhang Sange said, "Wait, that is, in three or five days, when the flying sand falls, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, there will definitely be groups of cultivators who come here to patronize your business." Hey, don't say it, bring me two dishes first, one hot and one cold, pad it, let's go to the sand sea and go desperately. ”

"The third brother said that it was a piece of cake, your Jindan cultivation and hunting the smoothie beast was not a piece of cake."

"Hey, don't put on a top hat for me, do you think that Smoothie Beast is a Flame Beast fool?" Zhang Sange said, "Over the years, Jin Danhai who died in the mouth of the smoothie beast has gone. ”

"Haha, how can others compare to Third Brother Zhang." Old Chen complimented him a few words, and then ordered the kitchen to start cooking.

What Zhang Sange said should not be bad, although the flying sand has not completely settled, there are many more visitors in Huoling Town than in previous years.

It can be regarded as Cao Chen's good life, that old Chen Tou'er saw that Cao Chen was quite diligent, and he was quick to work, and he didn't even need to be paid, so he thought about it for a long time, considering that if the business got better, he really needed a helper, so Cao Chen could clean up the demolition of the house, which could be regarded as a settlement for her.

Cao Chen can be regarded as having a place to live.

The demolition house is not big, and there is a lot of firewood, and it is a little crowded when three people lie down.

But even so, Cao Chen was still very happy.

Lying on the haystack, I can't sleep after tossing and turning.

"What are you tossing?" "Why don't you go to sleep quickly?" Not tired, you? ”

Cao Chen smiled and said, "You say...... With my sister's ability, what are the chances of hunting the Smoothie Beast? ”

"Not a single point." The Sword Master said, "The Smoothie Beast is more difficult to deal with than the Flame Beast, the jets are into ice, and the skin is very hard, if you build a foundation and cultivate, it will not be a problem to encounter one." If you encounter a crowd, even if you are a master of Jindan, your life will not be guaranteed. ”

"Don't toss, stay here honestly." Feed us some blood every day, and when our bodies recover, we will take out a magic weapon and give it to you, and you will be able to hunt three or five hundred smoothie beasts. ”

"Hey, then let me ask you, how long will it take you to recover?" Cao Chen said, "Today, I can listen to what Shopkeeper Chen said, the meridians are broken, and it is impossible to recover." Even if my blood is more special, it can allow you to continue the meridians, and your cultivation will be gone. ”

"If it's gone, I'll start again." "We are masters, and we were only one step away from soaring back then." Even if you do it all over again, you will soon be back to the top. ”

"Oh? How long will that take? ”

"This ......" was speechless for a moment.

The sword master said, "Don't be in a hurry, our meridians are broken, and your blood effect is not very good, so you can only slowly recuperate." However, it is probably three or five or seven years at most. ”

Cao Chen's face changed, and he said, "Three-five-seven years? Do you want Lao Tzu to wait for you to eat, drink, and Lazar for three or five or seven years? ”

"Don't worry, when we resume our cultivation, we will definitely repay you." ”

"I think, in three-five-seven years, it's better for me to hurry up and cultivate, and when the cultivation is high, I will directly smash your storage ring, and when the time comes, the harvest will not be small." Cao Chen said.

He laughed dryly, "Don't say that, we've been in trouble for so long......"

"Sharing the suffering? How embarrassed are you to say such! Along the way, when was it not me who took care of you? Cao Chen complained, turned over to the wall, and said, "Okay, okay, shut up, I'm going to sleep." ”

Cao Chen is not an adventurous person, she has been tortured in the sand sea for so long, it is rare to have a stable life, and she doesn't want to go to the sand sea again.

Settle down and help in the Camel Bell Inn, and then let the sword master go to the street to beg for free, and you can always harvest some spirit stones. Cao Chen had already planned that when there were enough spirit stones to beg with the sword master for free, he would go to a relatively large city and find a more comfortable job......

Tired of surviving, Xiuzhen has become an "entertainment project". Cao Chen's favorite thing is to study the ethereal steps and blasts of the two of them with Wu Fu and the Sword Master. These two miraculous means that they boasted, Cao Chen naturally hoped to learn them. It's just that it's not easy to change the Spiritual Technique to the Reverse Spiritual Method. In addition to studying the method, Cao Chen also has a soft spot for refining weapons. Her broken dragon slaying knife was repaired by her. The unknown small round stone from the Heavenly Path Array was still embedded in the hilt of the knife by her.

After the completion of the work, in front of the sword master and gratuitous, he ran to the courtyard, and played a dragon descending knife technique that he had not practiced for a long time.

When Cao Chen fell asleep, he asked the sword master softly for free, "Do you see what that little round stone is?" ”

The sword master said, "I haven't seen it, but it seems to be amazing." You know? ”

"Hey." He laughed softly for free, "Anyway, I was also the son-in-law of the Dragon King, and I still recognize this dragon eye." ”

"Ryume?" The sword master was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to turn his face to look at Wugra, but the meridians were broken, and he naturally couldn't move. Still, his head shook slightly.

He was stunned for nothing, and said with his eyebrows, "You are still powerful, and the meridians have begun to recover." ”

"Heh, let's talk about Longmu first." The sword master said, "I have heard that the dragon eye is the most evil thing. ”

"Hmm." said gratuitously, "This guy actually put the dragon eye clamp on the magic weapon, it's really ...... Balls! What's more, I very much doubt that this dragon eye is not Long Xuan's. ”

"You mean, Long Xuan, the prince of the dragon clan who died at the hands of Ye Wuxian back then?"

"That's right."

"Isn't that your brother-in-law?"

"It used to be, and it wasn't." said gratuitously, "I've already left that girl, and you don't know." ”

The sword master pondered for a long time, but said, "Why didn't you tell her?" ”

"Tell her what?" Gratuitously said, "Although the dragon eye is evil, it is not a big deal. If I can't wait for it to make a mistake, I will be able to recover, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be better to directly help Xiao Chenchen refine that dragon eye? Dragon Horcrux Spirit, hey, I'm afraid that even the weeping blood sword will have to bow down. ”

"Yes." The sword master said, his brows twisted, and he couldn't help but snort in a muffled voice.

"How?"

"I have some pain in my back." Sword Master.

"Alas, each other." "It seems that our body has degraded to the extreme, and we have really become mortal fetuses, and bedsores are born." I can't say it, I have to ask Xiao Chenchen to help me take a bath tomorrow, otherwise, my back will have to rot. ”

……

The sun was blazing, the earth was hot, and the air was filled with hot light.

Cao Chen had already made several trips between the lake and the Camel Bell Inn with a flat shoulder.

Pouring the water into the bath bucket, Cao Chen gave the free and sword master a roll of the eyes, "I don't care if you eat, you drink, and I have to wait for you to take a bath." I owe you something in my last life! Even a rag, a grain of dust, has their effect, what use do you have? ”

Gratuitous and the sword master had long been accustomed to Cao Chen's vicious words. He said with a hippie smile on his face, "Our little Chenchen is the best, and in the future, my brother and I will definitely repay you for saving your life." ”

"Fuck off!" Cao Chen said, "Don't disgust me." ”

Throwing the bucket aside, Cao Chen looked at the two of them and said, "Who will come first!?" ”

"Me, me, me!" "I'm really uncomfortable to death, and my back is probably rotten." ”

"You wash it last!" Cao Chen said, "I'm all day long, and I'm annoyed when I see you!" ”

Cao Chen came to the sword master and reached out to take off his clothes. As soon as he untied the sword master's belt, he looked up and saw a handsome red face. "Hey, you're still blushing, I'm a woman...... Ahem...... It's all men, what's the shame! ”

Are they all men?

Although since ancient times, in the cultivation realm, few people have regarded the disciples of the Yaochi Sect as women, but there are also few people who regard them as men.

The sword master smiled bitterly in his heart and let Cao Chen toss.

Cao Chen stripped the sword master naked, hugged him into the bathtub again, and picked up the bath towel to help him scrub and. Watching the strips of plaster being rubbed off, Cao Chen was disgusted. "Really...... Vomit...... What kind of bullshit do you still call yourself, why can't you move after drinking so much of my blood? ”

"Just wash it." The gratuitous mood didn't seem to be good, and he said viciously, "Don't wash too carefully." ”

"Use your!" Cao Chen said gratuitously.

As he was talking, there was a sudden bang in the inn in front of him.

Cao Chen was stunned for a moment, dropped the bath towel and ran out, and saw the shopkeeper Chen who was lying in the courtyard with a mouthful of blood.

In front of him, the walls of the inn were knocked out of a hole. On the hole, the corpse of the shopkeeper was lying on it. In the inn behind the hole, a young woman stood with a sword, the woman was in excellent shape, and her appearance was even more pretty, but the corners of her eyes were raised, showing a fierce look.

"Shopkeeper!" Cao Chen hurriedly ran over, wanting to help Lao Chen'er up, but as soon as he touched him, blood gushed from his mouth, obviously there was no air intake.

"You ......" Old Chen Tou'er glared at the woman, "You are not me...... My daughter's friend...... Yes. ”

"Friends? Oh, it's a friend, she won't rob my man! The woman said, then looked at Cao Chen, "Tell Chen Xiaomeng that Hua Ye killed her father!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Cao Chen looked at the woman's back in a daze, and it wasn't until she disappeared from sight that she came back to her senses, and then looked at the old Chen Tou'er, who had already died.

Cao Chen was startled, and quickly bit his finger, trying to stuff his blood into Old Chen's mouth.

It's just that the blood of the reverse spirit can heal the wounded, but it can't bring the dead back to life.
