Chapter 4: On the Word

Under the cover of twilight, a carriage hurriedly set off from the post station, swept the yellow sand and galloped to the invisible horizon in the darkness, and in the night, it seemed that there were fireflies lingering around the carriage.

The two of them sat cross-legged in the car, and the elder brother outside the car spat sand from time to time.

"Reed, you see, I'm going to use the Ignition Charm. Luo Luo quickly dropped half of the burned rune paper, pursed his mouth and blew on his hot fingers. Reed looked blankly at the sheepskin scroll on his lap.

"Oh. ”

"You can't give some encouragement! Luo Xin was furious.

"Oh. ”

“......”

After a few moments, the reed rolled up the tattered sheepskin and wiped it, and the parchment scroll vanished into thin air. "Well, for a long night, it would be better to preach to you. ”

"I refuse, I don't want to listen to that kind of boring stuff. The senior brother poked his head in, his face full of vicissitudes.

"Snort, wipe your face, take a good look at the road, Liuying won't help us catch the car. The reed gave him a burst of sand and a few patches of sand.

"When will we be able to get out of the desert? I've been eating sand for the past two days, and it's crunchy, you know. "The elder brother has no love on his face.

"Soon, we're a long way beyond the ghosts, and they'll take a long time to turn the ground into their own palace, and as long as we don't provoke them, they won't attack in a big way. "Reed drew a map on the wall of the carriage.

......

Ten days ago, after the difficulty of the floating pass. The Reed Technique concluded that the ghosts wouldn't make a big move for a long time, and anyway, for them, Middle-earth was just a chopping block for them. At the next border pass, they exchanged the sword of Beidinghou for this carriage and four authentic customs clearance discs.

......

There was already a huge sand dune on top of the carriage, which at first glance looked a little strange.

"The carriage is too heavy, Reed!" the elder brother pulled the curtain and looked at the two people sitting cross-legged inside.

"Well, I see. Reed disappeared into the carriage with a blank face.

Yi Chen didn't know how long it had been since he spoke, he didn't know anything about the outside world, he was wrapped in an unknown cocoon, and he was dreaming a dream.

The darkness and emptiness of the ruins grows another mood, a strange desolation. Beyond the ruins is an endless stretch of black desert. On the black quicksand, the strange-shaped creatures were ruthlessly cut off by other creatures, cutting through the numb bodies and devouring the living flesh, leaving only the blood all over the ground, and the blood seeped into the ground, growing deformed thorns.

The quicksand gradually receded little by little, until it disappeared beyond the horizon. Strange alien creatures are gnawing at thorns, greedy mouthparts are stabbed with blood, and the sky is a stagnant gray. Yi Chen watched as the alien creatures died, decayed, skeletons began to crumble, and the thorns quickly withered. Maybe something else was going on, but the picture changed so quickly that he didn't capture any details.

For some reason, Yi Chen suddenly found himself in a dream, but he had no entity in the dream. He thought again of the decay of those flesh in the meadow, if our physical bodies have not changed, but our hearts have been reincarnated for thousands of years, then what earthly bonds will we not be able to let go? After a long silence, he heard a sentence clearly:

"Whoever wakes up first in the big dream, you know it in your life. It was the voice of the reed, and in an instant, it penetrated his limbs, and his consciousness began to clear.

Yi Chen didn't hesitate, and the sword qi burst out of his body under his consciousness, and white velvet and sand and gravel flew out, as well as a few pieces of clothing.

The long-lost light, surrounded by the whistling of wind and sand, formed a great contrast with the faint light of the soft fireflies. Two feet in front of him are two pairs of boots, one dark and the other beige, small and delicate.

Yi Chen suddenly realized that he was naked in front of two living people, and the atmosphere began to be inexplicable, and he subconsciously hugged his shoulder.

"I am innocent. ”

I am most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet, and Yi Chen will suddenly want to die, but he can't add a sentence, "Actually, I'm not innocent." Thinking of this, a piece of felt was thrown at him.

"Give the horse cover the horse clothes, you should be wronged first, you haven't found the clothes yet. The senior brother added awkwardly: "If you don't want to be wronged, you can wear Luo Luo." ”

“......”

Crackling, two sounds of bones breaking, extremely brittle.

Wei Shu looked at the three of them like a paralyzed face, and dragged Yi Chen over.

"I planted the dream in the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his sea of knowledge, and now his spine is already a dragon, it is no exaggeration to say that if there is an opportunity, he can turn into a dragon. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, "But it's not a real dragon, it's a miscellaneous dragon, the kind of Yunguan Zhenji Beast." ”

"Then, apart from improving his cultivation a little, is there any practical significance?" Yi Chen tried his best to pretend not to be alarmed.

"Well, dragons are the most resistant to beating, in fact, you just know it with a sandbag. ”

"Hahahaha Senior Brother and Luo Xin laughed very unkindly.

......

"When the people are together, I'll tell you something casually, you don't need to talk about the Heart Sutra or anything, you should memorize it yourself, and I will temporarily use the spirit control technique to control it for a while. "The reed art spread out a scroll of ancient talismans.

"Although cultivating immortals does not require no desires and no desires, but do not be greedy; Lu Dongbin, one of the ancient eight immortals, once thought of accepting apprentices and inheriting his own Taoist system. He believed that the most important condition for his disciples should be not greedy.

Lu Dongbin manifested himself as an old man selling rice balls, and pasted a piece of paper on the stall: eat one rice balls for one penny, and eat all-you-can-eat for two yuan. From morning to night, many people come to eat glutinous rice balls, but none of them eat a penny, all of them are all-you-can-eat for two pennies. Seeing that dusk was coming, Lu Dongbin thought that there was no hope for him.

One of the young men paid a penny, ate a rice ball and left.

Lu Dongbin was overjoyed, and chased after him and asked him, 'Why don't you eat for two pennies?' The young man said helplessly, 'It's hateful that I only have one penny left on me!'

Lu Dongbin sighed, flew into the sky, and did not accept apprentices for the rest of his life. ”

After the reed art finished speaking, he looked at us with deep meaning, and Luo Xin said weakly: "If you can eat enough for a penny and a rice ball, I think I will eat a penny." ”

"I suddenly want to eat rice balls. The senior brother said thoughtlessly.

"Oh, your saliva is dripping. Luo Xin moved back in disgust.

The reed master sighed and turned to look at Yi Chen.

"I, I don't want to eat. Yi Chen was confused.

"Can you look at the flowers?" asked the reed.

"Looking at flowers is just a few things, looking at words, colors and tastes, why is it difficult?"

"If you wait to look at the flowers, when you concentrate on them, your own spirit is sucked into the body of the flower, and you can't make ends meet; Reed took out a lamp out of thin air and hung it on the roof of the carriage. "Your cultivation is too shallow, you can only say that the path of cultivation is the road, you have just gone up the mountain road, and it is still far from the top of the mountain. ”

"Reed Shu, why are you called Sword Immortal?" Senior Brother had already woken up from the rice balls and looked at Reed Shu with a serious face.

"Heh, I am the Dao Sword Heart Realm, and I am naturally a Sword Immortal. He glanced at Luo Xin and Yi Chen, and then said, "Do you want to learn kendo?"

The three of them looked at each other. "We learn kendo every day. ”

"Ridiculous, I'll tell you what kendo is. Thou shalt try it for the time being, close the doors and windows at night, do not light the lamp in the house, make the inner room pitch black, burn a branch of incense, split the incense head with a sword, exert force on the wrist, and do not move the arm, and wait until the sword is swift, the incense is halved, and the incense head is not extinguished, and then you enter the threshold of the sword. Or they can throw beans into the air and split them in half with their swords. ”

"You guys, practice slashing a hundred times and stabbing a hundred times before going to bed in the future. When you enter the threshold, I will teach you Kenshin. ”

As he spoke, the carriage stopped, and the three of them looked at Reed at the same time. I saw that his fingertips moved slightly, and with a sword aura, the roof of the car was shattered, and a disgusting smell spread from all around.

"Disgusting beasts. The tip of the reed nose wrinkled, and a layer of Gang Qi came out of the body to protect the entire carriage.
