Chapter 298: Trouble is coming
A night of sandstorms buried all the evils in the Yellow Sand Land of the Western Regions.
As soon as the phoenix died, the ban was lifted, and all the monuments in the ancient city of Phoenix and the surrounding areas were hidden in the long river of history.
Many people from the Daomen who still had no time to find a place to hide in the Western Desert were also buried in this great sandstorm and became part of the dry bones of the desert, witnessing the traces of human activity on this land.
The next morning, Kumarosh and Haozi came in the dust, and by that time the woman in red had already woken up and stood in front of the cave and looked at the two of them coldly.
The little girl hid behind me and looked at the visitor with a look of fear.
"This is the master Kumarosh who rescued you in the Phoenix Ancient City yesterday, and he is here to pick you up." I touched the little girl's bald head and said.
The little girl lay on my lap and looked at Kumarosh with a blank eye, and Kumarosh smiled, and the little girl came out from behind me.
"Chirp?"
There was a loud clatter, and the little milk cat came out of Kumarosh's sack of monk's robe, looking at me with big eyes.
When the little girl saw the little milk cat, she turned pale with fright and quickly hid behind me.
"I'm scared." The little girl said.
I said, "It won't hurt you." ”
The kitten let out of Kumarosh's pocket with an "um", and then ran up to me, up my trouser leg and up to my shoulder.
I lowered my body and said to the little girl: "Little Phoenix, I can't protect you if you are by my side, go with the master, he will take you to a safe place." ”
The little girl was a little reluctant, but she still walked to Kumarosh's side, Haozi frowned, and said, "Why is the essence of the phoenix a child?" ”
I said, "The phoenix is only 8,000 years old before it reaches adulthood, and this little phoenix is only more than 2,000 years old. The human form can only be like this, and her divine power has been imprisoned for too long, and her Dao Xing is badly damaged, and it will take a long time to recover. ”
"Then who is she locked up in the Phoenix Ancient City?" Hiroko asked.
I shook my head and said, "I asked last night, and she couldn't tell." ”
The little girl's eyes showed a look of confusion, she couldn't remember what happened many years ago, although the phoenix was a mythical bird, it was not a human after all.
"Master, are you going to take the little phoenix to the Golden Light Temple on this trip?" I asked.
Kumarosh nodded and said, "Only the Golden Light Temple can protect her." ”
"Little Phoenix is one of the four spirits, and many people in the world are looking for her." I said.
Kumarosh said: "The survival of the true dragon and the phoenix is related to the balance of the aura of heaven and earth, once the body dies, the aura of heaven and earth will be out of balance, and it will inevitably cause a catastrophe at that time, so the responsibility of protecting the little phoenix Jinguang Temple is duty-bound." ”
"I'm afraid that someone will calculate the whereabouts of the little phoenix." I said.
Kumarosh sighed and said, "The art of the Great Yan Heavenly Machine is wantonly passed down in the Dao Gate, and it is not enough for me to cover the Heavenly Machine, so I will take the little phoenix back to the Jinguang Temple and find my master Dajiaye Zen Master, maybe he will have a way." ”
"Those who want to snatch the Phoenix Inner Dan find that the Phoenix Divine Soul they are chasing is fake and will not give up, so it is better for the master to take the little phoenix away as soon as possible." I said.
Kumarosh nodded, and the little girl looked at me with reluctance, and I said, "Come with the master, and I will go to see you later." ”
The little girl nodded and walked towards Kumarosh.
Haozi said: "Zhang Yang, I will also go to Jinguang Temple with the master. ”
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"Apprentice." Haozi said.
"That's good, it's just so that you take care of the little phoenix all the way." I said.
So Haozi and the little phoenix set off with Kumarosh, and before leaving, Kumarosh looked at the woman in red behind me and said: "The female benefactor has already comprehended the meaning of sword movement at a young age, which is really rare, but the poor monk has something to warn the female benefactor." ”
"The meaning of the sword?" I whispered in my heart.
The woman in red raised her head and looked at Kumarosh, who said: "At the age of the female benefactor, you really shouldn't be able to improve so fast, although the way of the sword is strong, but after all, it is the way to kill, maybe the female donor can let go of her obsession, and she can be more relaxed, so that she will not be haunted by nightmares, so that she will go crazy." Letting go of obsession, that is, letting go of yourself, Rosh is all he says. ”
Kumarosh said, folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, and then led Haozi and the little girl away, and soon disappeared into the yellow sand.
The woman in red didn't say a word from beginning to end, and I wondered if she was dumb, but it could be seen from Kumarosh's evaluation that this woman in red was very strong.
And last night, when the woman in red was sleeping, her brows were tightly locked, her sword did not leave her hand, and her body occasionally trembled, as if she was frightened in her sleep, and she looked extremely nervous, and I saw that her eyes were sometimes in a daze, and there were signs of neurasthenia.
Kumarosh was gone, and the little cat did not follow, but stayed with me, and I didn't let it get into my storage bag, and he babbled angrily, and raised his little fist at me, but I ignored it, and finally it beat me with a little fist in the chest, and then fell asleep in my arms.
Feel the breath of the little milk cat up close, it is completely harmless to humans and animals, there is no breath of monsters, if it is not for its strange appearance and cuteness, it is really no different from the ordinary teacup cat.
When I was in the Kunlun Secret Realm, it could easily kill the masters of the old generation of the Daomen, and at this time, I don't know if it was the disappearance of the divine power, or if I was too lazy to use it, but thinking of the terrifying existence in the Kunlun Secret Realm, I still have palpitations, and I can only let the little milk cat stay in my arms.
I walked with the woman in red, we were silent along the way, it took several days to walk from the center of the desert to Yumen Pass, and on the first day we walked for a long time, and I drank seven or eight bottles of water on the way to replenish my water, but I walked for a long time only to find that the woman in red behind me was gone.
I wondered if she had gone away without saying a word, and my consciousness had expanded, only to find that she had fainted a few miles behind me.
I helped the woman in red to her feet and found that she was severely dehydrated and fainted from thirst.
So I took out a bottle of water from the Qiankun storage bag and fed her, because I wanted to feed water, so I had to lift her veil, I lifted her veil, and was amazed by her appearance, because she was so beautiful, but the fly in the ointment was that there was a scar on her cheek, which seemed to have been injured by a sharp weapon, and there were scars from the part below her neck, which was a severe burn.
I secretly said in my heart that it was a pity, I fed the water into her mouth little by little, and when she woke up, I said: "Why are you so thirsty and don't ask me for water to drink, the people of the Emei faction all owe them money, you are good, you don't say a word when you die of thirst, it's really enough." ”
I put the mineral water in the hand of the woman in red, and then threw down a Qiankun storage bag, which I plucked from the dead elite disciple of the Daomen.
"This Qiankun bag is full of water and fruits, as a big disciple of the Emei faction, you don't even have a Qiankun bag, what were you doing when you opened the Chenghuang Immortal Palace?"
"Practice the sword." The woman in red said.
"Oh, I thought you were dumb." I muttered.
Seeing that the woman in red didn't pick up the Qiankun storage bag on the ground, I bent down and stuffed the Qiankun storage bag into her hand before getting up and leaving.
Not long after, the woman in red followed, and it was not until four days later that we finally arrived at Yumen Pass.
The scenery of Yumen Pass is depressed, there is only one restaurant nearby, the scale of the hotel is not very large, two floors up and down, I went downstairs after eating with the woman in red, I will rent a car for her after arriving in a nearby town, and then we will part ways.
But who knows, when I went downstairs, I actually ran into a group of people from the Qingcheng faction!
"Hey, isn't that the dumb of the Emei faction?" Jian Jingchen said.
"I heard that this woman was disfigured when she was a child, and her popularity in the Emei faction was very bad, and she kept herself locked in the back mountain of the Emei faction, and she practiced swords to train her brain." A young man said.
"Oh, I thought it was a goddess, and it was a female neuropath! Ha ha. The other scoffed.
I stood on the stairs and saw a group of people coming outside the hotel, and the swordsman of the South China Sea was among them, and was politely greeted into the hotel by Zhang Xuancang and Yu Baxiong, so I put on the brim of my hat and hurried downstairs.
Jian Jingchen and several other young disciples played with each other, making faces to each other, and when they were going up the stairs, they wanted to remove the veil from the face of the woman in red, and when one of them raised his hand, I immediately grabbed his wrist.
"Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed." I took the young disciple's hand away, then grabbed the woman in red by the wrist and hurried down the stairs.
"Fuck, who are you?" The young disciple shouted.
I didn't pay attention, and pulled the woman in red to walk out of the door quickly, and the young man looked at Jian Jingchen and said, "Senior brother, he provoked us!" ”
Jian Jingchen squinted at me and said, "That man is Zhang Yang, right?" ”
"He's wearing a hat, and he's not paying attention, who is looking at him?" The young disciple said.
Jian Jingchen said: "Chase, you can't let them run." ”
Jian Jingchen said and led a group of people to chase it out, and the South China Sea swordsman saw this and said, "Jingchen, why are you going?" ”
Jian Jingchen said: "The one who just went out is Zhang Yang, I'll go and finish him off!" ”
"Who is Zhang Yang?" The South Sea Swordsman asked.
"The same person I told you about who humiliated me in public." Jian Jingchen said.
"Oh, shocking dust, you must know that we are different from those trash who rely on the crooked ways of the evil sect to get into the way, and there is no need to be like them." The South Sea Swordsman said.
"Zhang Yang?" Yu Baxiong's face changed.
"What, Brother Yu also knows?" The South Sea Swordsman asked.
Yu Baxiong said: "Brother Lu may not know, this Zhang Yang is very despicable, he has practiced an evil sect demon method, a year and a half ago, it is likely that he killed my disciple Yu Ya!" This time it must be removed! ”
