Chapter 285: The Eagle in the Desert
After Jin Feilang finished talking about his previous identity, everyone fell into silence, with different expressions.
Gu Yunying was slightly surprised and wanted to ask in detail, but seeing Jin Feilang's appearance as if he was immersed in past memories, he still endured it and let him recover first.
Jin Xuanxuan was also very surprised, she remembered the rumors about the Shiying Sand Bandits, and the hostile eyes when she looked at Jin Feilang gradually faded, but they did not disappear completely.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Suddenly, a burst of sobbing sounded, and the three of them turned their heads to look over at the same time, and saw Huo Kole looking at Jin Feilang excitedly, with undisguised pity and sympathy on his face.
He moved from Gu Yunying's side to Jin Feilang again, and gave Jin Feilang a big hug.
"Brother Jin, are you so miserable? Not only did you have a hard time before, but you also had to be a slave to the bad guys when you were a child, you must have suffered a lot, it doesn't matter, you have my brother, I can lend you a shoulder to lean on...... Eh, don't slap your face! β
Jin Feilang's head was bruised, his hands were clenched into fists, he kicked Huo Kole away, and then hammered him in the face that was not beaten.
Huo Kole immediately covered his face, but he didn't fight back, and while letting Jin Feilang vent, he still reminded loudly: "You can hit me, but don't hit my face, my face is still okay!" β
Gu Yunying, Jin Xuanxuan: "......"
After Huo Kole's commotion, the sentimental atmosphere just now was suddenly swept away.
Gu Yunying still stepped forward in the end and symbolically stopped it, after all, Huo Kuole's face was worthless, but she didn't want to see a pig's head in the carriage of her peers.
"Speaking of Shi Ying just now, how powerful are these sand bandits?" Gu Yunying hurriedly asked.
Jin Feilang withdrew his fist, glanced at her lightly, then looked at Jin Xuanxuan on the other side, and then sat back in the corner of the carriage, without saying a word, his attitude was quite obvious, he didn't want to mention Shi Ying again, let Jin Xuanxuan, who knew a little, say it herself.
Jin Xuanxuan also understood what Jin Feilang meant, she stubbornly remembered the information about the sand bandits that she was forced to memorize by her father before she came, and said according to the script: "Actually, there are many rumors about Shi Ying, but there are very few who have really seen and survived, and there is not much news that our Jin family can collect." β
"It is said that the leader of Shi Ying is a monk who has passed through the dark realm, and there are more than a hundred sand bandits under his hands, and there are countless caravans that have died in their hands, including our Jin family, who has also lost three large caravans, and no one knows how Shi Ying chooses his prey, but they also have certain guidelines for doing things."
Speaking of those guidelines, Jin Xuanxuan wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully: "Men over the age of thirteen must be killed, children under the age of thirteen will not be killed, they will be left as slaves, women will not be killed, they will be sold when they are used up, and they have special means of buying and selling, as long as they are ready to sell the goods, no matter how high the price is, they will not hand them over." β
"Oh yes, I also heard a not very reliable news, it seems that the leader of Shi Ying used to be the royal family of a small country in the Western Regions, and then the country collapsed, and the prince fell into the desert sea, so he did the work of sand bandits, but in private he is still preparing for the great cause of restoring the country."
"Whew!"
This statement was mercilessly ridiculed by Jin Feilang.
He leaned forward slightly, sat indecently, and said, "The leader of Shiying is indeed a down-and-out prince, but he was not destroyed, but because of the failure of the rebellion, he will be exiled. β
Jin Xuanxuan was forcibly interrupted, frowned, and asked puzzledly: "A country in the Western Regions, no matter how big it is, it can't be much bigger, since Shi Ying is a powerful person who can pass through the dark realm, it can be regarded as one of the best figures, his country should respectfully welcome him back, even if there is resistance, just go back directly, why are you still wandering around in the desert sea?" β
"Because he is not rebelling against a country, but the real ruler of the Western Regions."
The one in charge?
Gu Yunying's eyes sank, and he didn't quite understand Jin Feilang's words.
Because from the information that all of them received, the Western Regions are always chaotic, the forces behind it are intricate, and there are even more countries and religions.
Although there are indeed several powerful forces, they do not dare to say that they are the rulers of the Western Regions.
What's more, if there really is a force that can completely control the Western Regions, why would it allow disputes and chaos in the Western Regions?
Jin Feilang changed his posture, saw everyone's puzzled eyes, and couldn't help but show a slightly sarcastic smile: "Can't you guess?" That's right, disciples like you, who grew up in the sect of the righteous path family, can't imagine that a single sect of demon cultivation can dominate the entire vast Western Regions. β
"The sect of demon cultivators?"
Gu Yunying pursed her lips, in her impression, there seemed to be only one Demon Cultivation Sect in the Western Regions.
And it was this sect, in the later stage of the plot, that took on almost all the villain tasks, allowing Gu Qianxue to break them one by one, accurately striking at the evil purpose of this sect, and finally falling on the road to Gu Qianxue's ascension to godhood, which can be called the most suitable stepping stone.
For the name of this sect, Gu Yunying slowly read it out: "Rakshasa Temple? β
"That's right, it's the Rakshasa Temple." Jin Feilang snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "What, you righteous path monks, are you afraid?" β
Jin Xuanxuan puffed out her cheeks angrily and said, "You are also a member of the Jin family now, and the Jin family is a family that ranks in the forefront of the righteous path." β
Jin Feilang said indifferently: "I am happy to be a member of the Jin family, then I am a member of the Jin family, if I don't want to, then I am not a member of the Jin family." β
For such a truth, Jin Xuanxuan, who has received family education since childhood, said that she could not agree and was angry.
Huo Kole felt even more incredible, and asked hesitantly: "The power of the Rakshasa Temple is so great, why don't we know at all, and the senior elders of the Heavenly Sect have not taken any wrong measures against the Western Regions?" Just let the Rakshasa Temple develop in the Western Regions? β
Jin Feilang pointed to the desert sea outside and said: "Do you think that among the righteous path powers you know, who can cross the entire desert sea unscathed, and at the same time lead those big people of the righteous path to enter the distant Western Regions together, and fight with the demon cultivators of the Rakshasa Temple to the death, and after the final victory, you will have to liquidate and carve up the chaotic place of the Western Regions, and after dividing the territory, you will start to rectify and govern, and end the chaos as soon as possible, so as to establish the image of the righteous path sect." β
"To be honest, if there really existed such a righteous power with dedication, then the Western Regions would not have fallen to such a state."
Regarding Jin Feilang's words, Huo Kuole thought about it carefully, although it was such a reason, he still couldn't understand it, so he could only mutter: "But destroying demon cultivators, isn't it what we righteous path monks should do?" β
"Alright, you can step aside." Gu Yunying pushed Huo Kuole away with a palm in his thinking, and then looked at Jin Feilang, "If the Rakshasa Temple rules the entire Western Regions, why is the Western Regions so chaotic?" β
Jin Feilang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "I don't know very well, I only know that the chaotic form of the Western Regions today is probably deliberately done by the Rakshasa Temple, as for why they are like this, no one knows." β
Seeing that the topic was becoming more and more unanswerable, Jin Feilang said directly: "The reason why I told you about my connection with Shi Ying is to remind you that you had better not let me expose my identity in the Western Regions, otherwise not only will no one be able to save you, but you may also become the target of public criticism." β
When Jin Xuanxuan heard this implicit threatening warning, she couldn't help but ask: "What's so special about your identity, can the streets of the Western Regions still be full of your wanted portraits?" The entire Western Regions are arresting you, can't you? β
Hearing this complaint, Jin Feilang rarely did not refute, but grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Yes, you really have to be careful, the entire Western Regions are chasing and killing me." β
Jin Xuanxuan saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked, "What did you do that hurt the heavens and reason?" β
Jin Feilang's expression was ruthless for a moment, and then he returned to his previous silence, leaning against the wall of the carriage and no longer speaking.
couldn't bother to pay attention to Jin Xuanxuan's questioning, even Huo Kole was making trouble on the side, but did not quarrel, but directly kicked Huo Kole out of the carriage and replaced it with him directing the alpaca forward.
"Chirpβ"
An eagle's roar rang out from high in the sky.
The pitch-black eagle circled around the endless desert and finally saw a small dot on the still sand dunes.
He raised his head and roared, his wings twenty meters long, and his inky wings overlapped like sharp knives, reflecting a deep cold light under the sun.
The sharp eagle eye completely locked the moving point, and immediately left against the wind, heading for his master.
ββ
Gu Qianxue rode a Bactrian camel and moved forward at a fast speed, still followed by the beautiful Jing Ze behind him.
Since the dust storm in the desert sea disappeared, the two of them didn't say anything all the way, as if they didn't need to say anything, and they didn't bother to test it anymore.
The four-hoofed camel made a long series of heavy footprints on the seemingly smooth sand, losing the ravages of the dust storm, leaving traces clear and unambiguous, which could not be erased for a long time.
Gu Qianxue didn't have this elimination, she only hoped to be able to cross the desert sea as soon as possible.
According to the experience of her previous life, according to the footsteps of this puppet camel, it would take at most fifteen days to completely cross and reach the nearest city in the Western Regions, Kasur.
Qassur ...... Gu Qianxue thought a little uneasy.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Keatzawa shouted from behind.
Gu Qianxue grabbed the camel's reins violently, trying to make the camel stop, but before the camel could react, the sand under their feet suddenly flowed, as if it had turned into a puddle of mud, making them sink as fast as possible.
Damn, what the hell is going on?!
