Two hundred and nine, converging

The two of them experienced sunrise and sunset many times, as if they had eaten food several times after a few days and nights, and although they didn't look hungry, eating was like a task. Ning Yan secretly estimated the hour, even so, it was only an hour that had passed, and the illusion realm had simply disturbed time and space here. This snake has some ability.

"What the hell are you looking for, girl? We've been going through it for days, and we're running out of water. If we don't get to the place yet. This long yellow sand, if you can't get out, how can it be good. Ning Yan shook the kettle and reminded that if he spent a day here, he would not be able to go back.

"It should be soon." Li Yan looked at the guide in his hand, and the spoon handle had an accident at this time, and his tone was originally very flat. The crazy rotation of this guide made her a little surprised, and her face changed again and again.

"This compass won't break." Ning Yan looked at the little things that were spinning around, and felt very helpless. Looking around, except for the yellow sand, there is only yellow sand, and there is no direction at all.

Liyan smiled, her eyes were still so bright under the veil. "No, it just means that we're almost there."

"Why is it so dark?" The changes in heaven and earth are fleeting, and it is night again. Ning Yan was a little flustered.

"Take a break." Liyan motioned for Ning Yan to get off the camel.

"Let's keep walking, hurry up, time is running out." Ning Yan was bent on reaching the ancient city in a hurry.

"It's too dangerous to walk in the desert in the night. Let's be cautious. "Leaving the dead remained calm.

"But the compass is invalid at this time, and this place is very weird, so it's better to find the ancient city earlier." Ning Yan looked at the sky and shuddered.

The wind and sand suddenly became bigger, rustling up, and scattering indiscriminately, the reality of this illusion really made Ning Yan doubt his situation.

The camel was a little anxious, walking around quickly, and the bell of the death shook vigorously, trying to calm the camel's irritability, but it had no effect at all, and Ning Yan and Li Yan were shaken badly. Ning Yan clutched the clothes that left the dead, "What can I do about this?" ”

Li Yan frowned, and his hand did not stop shaking the camel bell.

"Leaving the dead, leaving the dead, like, then, is it a building over there?" Ning Yan suddenly stared into the distance.

Ning Yan also looked over, "Where?" ”

"That!" He pointed to the distance from the dead. "That. Look blurry. After speaking, he quickly grabbed the clothes of the dead, this wind and sand are really powerful.

Liyan's eyes widened and he looked into the distance, "It seems to be." However, this desert is prone to mirages, so we must be careful. ”

"Uh-huh, anyway, let's go check it out first." There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the deceased.

"But the wind and sand are blowing too hard." Ning Yan's speech was a little intermittent, and a lot of sand was blown into his mouth.

"Let's get off the camel first and hide for a while."

The two of them got off the camel, and they didn't stop comforting the camel, and for a moment, the camel seemed to calm down, and its feet slowly knelt down, and the whole body formed a barrier. Liyan pulled Ning Yan and hid beside the camel, the wind and sand were obviously concentrated on the camel bell, and at this time, Liyan had a trace of his own time.

"It's really hard to find the ancient city." Ning Yan touched the jade pendant around his neck. "Leaving the dead, what are you going to do in the ancient city?"

Liwu did not answer.

"It's for the family you can't choose, right?" Ning Yan didn't give up his curiosity. What does it mean for this girl to run in the desert in a fantasy world? Her sister Baguio didn't appear in the illusion this time, what's going on?

Liyan's hand was slightly clenched, but he still didn't intend to say it.

"Talk to me."

"Let's take a break." After leaving the funeral, he closed his eyes.

"Dongyu Yue's family?"

There was suddenly an extra dagger in Liyan's hand, which was across Ning Yan's neck.

"I guessed right." Ning Yan smiled. Didn't care about the dagger around his neck in the slightest. "Leave the dead, calm down, it's just the two of us here. Between heaven and earth, no one can leave. Her fingers gently pinched the tip of the dagger and pushed it out, and with great strength, she easily pushed the dagger out.

"What are you talking about?" He watched the dagger being pushed away, but lost his mind for a moment.

"Didn't you say before that you were born in an unusually complicated family, there are not so many fathers and sons, and there is a deep brotherhood. I've thought about it, and the royal situation is the most serious. The clothes on your body look ordinary, they are indeed silky, where do ordinary people use such good materials, and they will not be allowed to wear such materials, so your identity must be very noble. Thinking about it, the Dongyu Royal Yue Family is the most reasonable explanation. ”

Li Yan looked at the girl beside her, and the dagger was once again horizontal in front of Ning Yan, "I'm afraid you're not an ordinary peasant girl." The material of this garment is not very recognizable at a glance, although it is silky, it is very similar to linen. Even if you are a noble lady in the capital, you may not know everything. ”

Ning Yan snatched the dagger with a backhand, fortunately, she had learned a few tricks of self-defense before, and this girl had no martial arts at all.

Taken aback, his lips trembling, he made a gesture to retrieve the dagger.

Ning Yan blocked it, "Don't worry." I have no ill will towards you, and if I have any undesirable ideas, you are no match for me. Ning Yan inserted the dagger back into the knife. To give. Don't scary yourself and don't hurt yourself. ”

The departing general took the dagger suspiciously, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"We're in a fantasy." When he said this, he couldn't hear it at all, which was silenced. It's not that simple. He took the hand of the dead and wanted to write, but he couldn't write the words of illusion. Forget it, it won't work. Fuck off the snake.

"Who I am, don't worry about the dead girl, you just need to know that I don't want to hurt you. It's also a coincidence that you and I met, maybe it's God's arrangement. ”

"Don't you think it's hard to be convincing by hiding it like this?" He did not relax his vigilance, and the whole person was in a tense state.

"Okay, it's okay to tell you, but keep it a secret. I am from the Xue family. Ning Yan once again turned on the deception mode, fortunately, Zheng Wan had investigated the clan system of the entire Dongyu Kingdom before, and several major families had also analyzed it well. Although Zheng Wan doesn't think much of herself, no matter how she says it, she is also a nominal sister and a member of the envoy group, so she naturally understands a lot of things.

The Xue family is really inconspicuous among the major families in Dongyu Kingdom, and they are often discriminated against by other families, mainly because they rely on business to make a fortune, and the family has strong financial resources, so that the children in the family can study, and they saved the Yue family by chance, so they embarked on a career in office. Of course, there is another most important point, the place where the Xue family originated is this desert. So their ancestral home is near the desert. There are also some people who stay in the cities near the desert all year round. Since she is a member of the Xue family, she naturally sees a lot of good things, not to mention that the Xue family is really rich. And according to Zheng Wan's previous investigation, the Xue family is on Yue Xuanyi's side, Yue Xuanyi can go to the throne, the Xue family has supported a lot in terms of financial resources, and it is the biggest help in money.

"The Xue family?" The tone of the departing was very calm.

"Well, it's the Xue family in charge of the household department, of course I'm just a maid left in the Shacheng Mansion by their family. The young lady was greedy for fun, and ran out, and I came to look for her, but unknowingly entered the desert, and walked farther and farther, not only did I not find the young lady at all, but I lost myself. Ning Yan recounted the story he had just made up, shook his head and smiled helplessly, looking at it with a real feeling.

He thought about it for a while. "Then why did you lie to people just now that you ran away from marriage?"

"Isn't that to win your sympathy? If I say I'm lost, it's shameless. "Ning Yan looks straightforward, which really makes people can't tell the truth from the fake." By the way, Miss Li, do you still have a sister? The sudden change in the topic made Liyan not react for a while.

"Sister? Sister, no. He denied it, but there was a trace of sadness on his face. How can an illegitimate daughter be called a brother and sister with the rest of the Yue family. He also killed his biological father and lost his beloved mother. So in the end, he still agreed with them and was an ominous person.

"Don't you recognize your sister?" Ning Yan thought of Baguio, Baguio and Liyan should have met ten years ago, so if they didn't know each other at this time, then this time period should be when she ran away from Dongyu Kingdom.

Li Yan subconsciously shook his head, "I said no, what do you mean?" ”

Ning Yan was a little dumbfounded. "No, no, nothing. I just thought that I had a sister who was at some point very much like the Dead Girl. ”

"Really? How to resemble? "Leaving the Dead suddenly became a little interested.

"Well, they're all smart."

Liyan chuckled, "You're exalting me too much." ”

"I think you're smart." Ning Yan said firmly, "Also, the two of you are people with deep affection. ”

"Why do you think so?"

Ning Yan suddenly found that he had missed his mouth, and scratched his head, "It's just intuition." Leave the dead, so you are a person in the Dongyu Palace? I once went to the national capital, and it was really a fairyland of birds and flowers. ”

"Dongyu has always been very nurturing." Liwu also agreed.

"Because of the young lady, I have met a few princesses. But I haven't seen you. Are you the fourth princess? Ning Yan looked curious.

Li Xinxin panicked, "What are you talking about, the fourth princess has died a long time ago." ”

Ning Yan observed Liyan's reaction, "Hehe, is it?" But that's not what the secret history says. ”

"Where did you get the secret history?" The hand that was lying below clenched slightly. The woman in front of her is not simple at all, who is she? Could it really be someone from the Xue family? But how does a little maid know so many things? What she wears is not what ordinary people wear, even if it is the Xue family, which is rich and rivals the country, it is impossible to wear such good clothes for her subordinates. This person can only believe half of what he says, maybe it is Miss Xue who has escaped from marriage, so this explanation is more reasonable.

"Although there is a secret word in the secret affairs of the royal family, but in fact, how many pairs of eyes are secretly staring at that besieged city, in this world, if people don't know, unless they do it." Ning Yan began to talk serious nonsense again. "It is rumored that the fourth princess would have been executed for some unknown reason, but she escaped because of a divination hexagram."

Suddenly there was a feeling of suffocation. The matter of the hexagram is so obscure, it is absolutely impossible for a maid to know about it.

Ning Yan fiddled with the sand, "But what about it, I often wonder if this is really a kind of luck?" What do you say, Dead Girl? ”

"You're thinking a lot." He didn't look at Ning Yan when he left the dead, but looked into the distance fixedly.

"Ah, when I have nothing to do, I like to think about it. When I heard this, do you know how shocked I was? ”

"I don't know."

Ning Yan patted the camel and made it a more comfortable position. "What do you say if she knew that she would bring disaster to the Yue family in the future?"

"How do I know?" Leaving the dead bowed his head.

Ning Yan Si determined that the death was the fourth princess of Dongyu Kingdom who was rumored to have died. Zheng Wan's intelligence is really accurate, and I don't know to what extent her current intelligence network layout is, I don't think it will be too weak, and even the secret things of Dongyu Kingdom know very well, in the end, it is Zheng Wan.

"She must have worked hard." Ning Yan looked at the death, "A woman has taken on so much malice, but she has never done anything hurtful. ”

"Huh." Liyan smiled slightly, "Let's rest for a while." It's dawning early in the desert. "Close your eyes.

"Okay, then take a break." Ning Yan quietly looked at the sky, "Broom star? "Ning Yan was a little stunned, this damn snake, give me these things every day, and see that I don't go out to find trouble with you.

Boom, suddenly there was thunder and lightning between heaven and earth. What's going on? It's an unreasonable change in the weather. Ning Yan shook his way away, but he slept very deadly. Ning Yan shouted anxiously, "Death girl, wake up!" Something is wrong here. Death! What's wrong with you? Death! Ning Yan's anxious eyes began to burst into tears.

But there was no reaction. The camel also fell into a deep sleep at the moment.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ning Yan stood up, a little angry. "Snake, you come out for me! Shrinking turtle! ”

Boom, there was a strange sound from below. Ning Yan subconsciously took a few steps back.

Suddenly, a city rose in front of him. The yellow sand poured down, and the city wall appeared inch by inch, and after a while, the entire city came out, Ning Yan looked at the ancient city in front of him in surprise, the cyan bricks and tiles, a little mottled, and the things that appeared in the dim world were a little weird.

Ning Yan slowly stepped forward and cautiously touched the city wall, solid, it was not fake, it was not a mirage, there was really an ancient city', was it this ancient city? What's going on here?

"Death? That's where you're looking? Why should you find it? Ning Yan touched the city wall, and the traces showed the vicissitudes of time.

Ning Yan looked around for its entrance, and soon saw the door, it was a simple and gorgeous bronze door, and the carvings on it were extremely complicated and fancy, what was this? One foot? Bi Fang? It is Bi Fang again, but it also confirms the story of Dongyu Guo's determination of Bi Fang and Ying Long. Where is Ying Long? Not far from Bi Fang, a handsome dragon with wings frolicked in the woods. So this ancient city is related to ancient mythical beasts? Bi Fang! Ning Yan couldn't help but snort softly.

"Death! Wake up! The ancient city has appeared! Wake up! Ning Yan ran back to Liyan's side and shook vigorously, but Liyan showed no sign of waking up. Ning Yan took Liyan's hand and checked his lower pulse, as if there was nothing abnormal, there was no problem with his pulse and breathing, why did he fall asleep.

"Forget it, I'll go check it out first." Ning Yan pulled Zheng Wan to a relatively safe wall, and stacked stones around her to block the wind and sand.

Ning Yan went to pull the camel, and the hand holding the reins grasped it tighter, as if this could give him strength. But the camel was so big that it didn't move at all. Forget it, "Brother Camel, ask for more blessings." Patting the camel's head, Ning Yan found Zheng Wan's dagger, put it on his waist, and found some fire folds and put them in his arms. Pretended to be calm and put the veil away, Zheng Ling! Don't be afraid, it's just an ancient city, you can.

Ning Yan groped on the bronze door, the direction of this image is quite interesting, there seems to be a gap between Bi Fang and Ying Long, Ning Yan touched the gap little by little. "Ahh His finger was suddenly pricked by something, and the blood gushed out, Ning Yan withdrew his hand, and a small hole was broken in his fingertips, which was quite painful. This is a fantasy, it's a real scene! The ancient demon beast of the snake can't be taken lightly in the end.

Click, Ning Yan was still in a trance, and the bronze door was opened. Ning Yan stared at the wound, this door could not be the cause of blood.

Ning Yan looked inside, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see it really, Ning Yan took out a fire fold, lit it, and cautiously took a step inside, the green bricks on the ground couldn't help but hold the dagger, hold his breath, and move inside step by step. A long corridor, painted with strange patterns on both sides, Ning Yan touched these murals, the feeling of déjà vu, the indescribable sadness in his heart, so sad, his heart couldn't help touching his heart, Ning Yan continued to walk forward, and suddenly opened up in front of him, what a big city, I couldn't see it outside at all just now. After a while, the voices came out, laughter, noise, and it seemed that they had really entered a city.

This place seems to be a little familiar, where have I seen it. Ning Yan blew out the fire fold in his hand.

Ning Yan observed the surroundings. The costumes in this place are not quite like Dongyu's, but like Daqin, Daqin? Isn't this the scene where Zheng Wan is in the fantasy world? Ning Yan was shocked. What is it? Go to the Zheng Mansion to have a look.

According to those memories, he soon arrived at the street where Zheng's Mansion was located, and Ning Yan relied on the gorgeous clothes he was wearing and swaggered inside.

Zheng Mansion, Ning Yan looked at the house in front of him, it seemed to be very similar to what he remembered, but there was an indescribable weird feeling.

Squeak, the door was opened, and out came an ordinary little girl, about seven or eight years old, looking like the kind of person who would forget his appearance when thrown into the crowd, but he had an inexplicable sense of appearance with Qiu Qi.

Autumn begging? Ning Yan stared at the girl, and the girl also noticed Ning Yan's gaze, and her eyes showed vigilance.

Ning Yan showed a friendly smile, and the little girl ignored Ning Yan and left directly.

Ning Yan went around to the backyard of the Zheng Mansion, and this back door was still a forbidden place. I found a remote place with a tree, looked around, there was no one, hugged the trunk, it was quite strong, went directly to the tree, lay on the tree and looked inside. The courtyard is empty, there is no one, this pavilion is somewhat familiar, this is Zheng Ling's place, how can I find such a location by chance.

"Does it look good on it?" A voice came from under the tree.

"Ahh Ning Yan panicked and fell down from the tree. "Wow wow. Hurt. ”

Ning Yan raised her head and saw Zheng Wan in the light. "Shou," suddenly stopped speaking, the word Shouyun is now only known to Zheng Pingsheng, and he can't show his feet, "My hand, it hurts." ”

"Well deserved." Zheng Wan glanced at her, "What are you doing?" ”

"I, I want to sleep in the trees. Why are you bothering me. Ning Yan began to talk nonsense again.

"Miss, this person must have a ghost in his heart, just now at the gate, the slave maid felt that something was wrong."

"Little girl, don't spew blood. These trees don't belong to yours, what's wrong with me sleeping? ”

"Really? It's better to call Jing Zhaoyin to come over and judge. Zheng Wan looked at Ning Yan calmly, didn't want to say more, and waved her hand directly, "Qiu Qi, you take a trip." ”

"No." Qiu begged so fast that he immediately wanted to leave. Ning Yan quickly grabbed her, but fortunately, Ning Yan didn't become a child, "Let's talk well, why are we involved with Jing Zhaoyin." Ning Yan instantly felt that his head was big.

"You can explain it to Jing Zhaoyin."

"I'm looking for your brother, Zheng Pingsheng."

Zheng Wan's face changed, she lowered her head slightly, and said in an unkind tone, "Girl, don't you know that he has passed away." ”

"I just want to talk to him, what? Passed away? Ning Yan was stunned, then at this time, is he still in Daqin? Or did the Sutra go to Liangchu? "When did this happen? I had just returned from outside the city and had not heard anything from me. ”

"Some time ago. What is your relationship with him? ”

"I admire him." Ning Yan couldn't tell Zheng Pingsheng's whereabouts for a while, so he could only say that this kind of rhetoric was not easy to be discovered.

Zheng Wan looked incredulous.

Woo woo, Ning Yan secretly pinched herself several times, and suddenly covered her eyes and cried.

Qiu Qi looked at Zheng Wan, "Miss? ”

"Shut up."

Ning Yan looked at Zheng Wan secretly, "I finally mustered up the courage to come and see Zheng Gongzi, how can this be." Where is his grave? I want to go and worship. ”

"Give me to disappear immediately! Otherwise, there are still many empty places in Jing Zhaoyin's cage. Zheng Wan didn't eat this set at all, and said coldly.

Ning Yan immediately ran away. Zheng Wan is only nine or ten years old, and that aura is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ning Yan leaned against the wall and patted his chest, it was really scary.

Zheng Wan appeared in the illusion when she was a child, what does that mean? I can't tell her she's in a fantasy either.

"Miss, that person looks weird, just let that person go?" The voice of the autumn beggar came. Ning Yan hurriedly hid.

"Forget it. Go back, I'll go out for a walk. ”

"Yes. Promise. ”

Soon, Zheng Wan appeared in front. Ning Yan watched her walk out for a long time, so she hurriedly followed, Zheng Wan was a person who was very guarded, and she knew martial arts, so she was not so easy to follow, Ning Yan was far away, and could only vaguely look at her back.

This direction is the outskirts of the city. Yundeguan? No, no, she left empty-handed, and left Qiu Qi behind, that is, Zheng Pingsheng? Since Zheng Wan had previously decided that Zheng Pingsheng had an accident with Zheng Wan's character, she must have absolute evidence, what can best prove that this person is alive, that is, to see the real person. Ning Yan watched Zheng Wan go out of the city gate.

Forehead, how does the head hurt so much. Suddenly, there was a dark corridor in front of me, where is this? Ning Yan looked at the fire fold in his hand, the mural? Bronze doors? Ning Yan turned his head, and the bronze door was wide open, so I just now, what was going on? This snake, underestimating it, it is almost going to trap me. Zheng Ling, remember, as long as you break the illusion and go out, other people's illusions will naturally be cracked, and you don't have to distract yourself to find the weakness of the snake.

"Qiu Qi, why did you come in alone?" At the bronze doorway, the fire is lit by the dead.

"I, you just fell asleep and can't wake you up, so I'll come in and take a look."

"It's dangerous here. You still stay outside and wait for me, if you don't wait for me for a day, you will ride a camel and leave and go back to Xue's house. "The eyes of the dead are very clear.

"I don't, it's too dangerous for you to be alone. I'm with you, no matter what, it's not my style to see death and not save me. Hurry up, this place is very weird. Ning Yan walked in by himself.

"This place is the legendary forbidden place of Dongyu Kingdom." I had no choice but to follow.

"Forbidden land?"

"It's in the desert, but it's not found, and some people say that it only appears in front of people who are destined. And even if they did, almost no one who went in survived. "The words of the death are even more terrifying in this dim place.

Yes, for some reason, a city rose in front of me, and I was scared to death. Ning Yan complained in his heart. "If that's the case, why find it?"

"Legend has it that there are endless treasures in it, as well as strange books that govern the number of lives in the world." Liyan said calmly.

"Treasure Cave?"

"Legend has it that after Bi Fang's disappearance, Ying Long's temperament changed greatly. Countless treasures and secret techniques for resurrecting the dead have been collected here. ”

"Poof." Ning Yan couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry, it's so funny, hahaha." ”

"What are you laughing at?"

"You say that there is a treasure, I think it is credible, but if there is such a thing as the art of resurrecting the dead, then the world will not be chaotic. Besides, Bi Fang is an ancient divine beast, not a human, the divine beast can be used, and the human can also be used? It's a funny story. ”

Li's eyes turned red, "Maybe it's true?" ”

"Bi Fang, Ying Long?"

Ning Yan suddenly stopped laughing and shook his head slightly, "This legend won't be true, no, Ying Long won't do this!" ”

"Why?" There was a hint of sarcasm on his brow face.

"It just won't." Ning Yan was very firm, and his eyes were full of starlight.

Li's eyes darkened slightly. However, Ning Yan didn't pay attention
