Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Shocking Change at the Banquet
The herdsmen sang and danced around the bonfire, and Shui Yanxi held Mingyue's hand in the crowd and danced with everyone. Mingyue felt that the whole person became excited, although she couldn't dance, she couldn't help but sway with everyone.
Shui Yanxi is already handsome and unique, with a tall and upright posture and chic manners, his dancing posture is chic and unrestrained and enthusiastic, showing a charming demeanor.
Mingyue couldn't help but think, this guy is really a demonic existence, different from those men who follow the rules in the Western Wilderness, there is a special charm that makes people addicted.
At this time, the whole roasted sheep is steaming hot on the fire, and the herdsmen turn the roast and brush it with special spices, which give off an enticing aroma, until the skin of the sheep becomes tender and golden and begins to emit a rich aroma.
At this time, a herdsman woman brought over the basin and respectfully asked Shui Yanxi and Mingyue to clean their hands. When he had cleaned his hands, he invited them to sit at the top of a low table beside him, on which was laid a neat carpet of fruits, on which were trays of fruit, and many small plates of spices.
The whole body of the roasted sheep is golden and tender, and it emits an attractive aroma. The elders of the herdsmen began to divide the mutton, cut off the fattest parts of the roasted whole sheep, and personally delivered it to Shui Yanxi and Mingyue.
Shui Yanxi pulled Mingyue to stand up together, smiled and saluted respectfully to the elder to express her gratitude. After the salute, Shui Yanxi pulled Mingyue to sit down.
Mingyue looked at the large plate of mutton in front of her a little foggy, the roasted whole lamb was golden in color, emitting an attractive aroma, just smelling it made people salivate. But there were no chopsticks in front of her, and she didn't know how to eat them.
Shui Yanxi said with a smile: "This is a unique hand-grasped mutton in the Western Regions, you can just grab it with your hands and eat it." With that, he grabbed a piece of mutton, dipped it in the spices on a small plate, put it in his mouth, and gave a thumbs up to the elder who distributed the mutton.
The elder who distributed the mutton laughed heartily and sang happily as he divided the mutton for the others. The singing was majestic and unrestrained, and the young men and women around the campfire cheered loudly.
Mingyue is not a hypocritical person, she reached out and grabbed a piece of lamb leg meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and she feasted on it. She only felt that the fat and thinness were moderate, the taste was mellow, tender and delicious, without a trace of fishy smell, and it was really a first-class delicacy.
Mingyue exclaimed: "Shui Yanxi, the roasted whole sheep in the Western Regions is so delicious. ”
Shui Yanxi chose the most tender piece of mutton, dipped it in seasoning, brought it to her mouth, and said, "Little Moon, as long as you like it, I am willing to roast mutton for you every day." ”
Mingyue opened her mouth, ate the piece of meat in one bite, took a bite of his finger by the way, and said, "Shui Yanxi, if you are so numb again, I will gnaw your finger as mutton." ”
Shui Yanxi looked at her fingers with tooth marks, smiled, stood up, took a glass of fruit wine, and sent it to Mingyue's mouth.
Shui Yanxi swayed her body in a chic manner and sang: "My beloved girl, I am willing to be your little lamb." As long as you want, wander with you every day and be your lover every day......"
When the herdsmen heard Shui Yanxi's singing, they all applauded and gave him a thumbs up.
Mingyue ate delicious hand-grasped mutton in her mouth, watched the handsome and unparalleled bewitching beauty singing in her eyes, and drank a sip of sweet and sour fruit wine from her wine glass, remembering the scene when the two met, she couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "Shui Yanxi, I really admire your ability to make chapters." ”
Shui Yanxi tempted: "How about it, do you want to go to the grassland with me and let me be your lover?" ”
Mingyue ate delicious mutton, looked at the herdsmen who were singing and dancing, and said with a smile: "Shui Yanxi, can you not go crazy at every turn?" ”
Mingyue and everyone ate and danced, and spent an unforgettable night on the prairie for the first time in their lives.
Just when the atmosphere was high, a middle-aged man rode a horse and galloped from a distance, his face was full of anxiety, and he said a lot of words to everyone that Mingyue didn't understand.
All the herdsmen stopped after hearing the middle-aged man's words, and everyone looked at Shui Yanxi together, and Shui Yanxi's face became solemn.
The old man's face on the mutton cut instantly fell, and he slowly walked in front of Shui Yanxi and knelt in front of him with a "plop".
Mingyue was startled, she didn't know what was going on, she put down the mutton in her hand and looked at them in a daze.
Shui Yanxi said something to the old man, helped the old man up, and said something to the herdsmen at the scene.
The herdsmen instantly became quiet, and they all looked at Shui Yanxi expectantly.
Mingyue was anxious, and asked Shui Yanxi suspiciously: "Shui Yanxi, can you tell me, what happened?" ”
Shui Yanxi said: "Little Moon, Daddy's son Xiri Ahong went to the grassland to graze a few days ago, and yesterday afternoon he encountered a grassland storm, and the lamb ran into the Devil's City in chaos. On the way to chase the lamb, Siri Ahong strayed into the devil's town because he couldn't see the road clearly due to heavy rain, and he has not been able to come out so far. His companions rode wild for a day and a night before they came back to tell the news. I'm going to take someone to the Devil's Town to look for someone right now, and you just stay here and wait for me to come back. ”
Mingyue said firmly: "Shui Yanxi, I'll go with you, I'm an immortal cultivator, I can not only fly with a sword, but also heal and save people." ”
Shui Yanxi looked at her for a moment, saw that she was resolute-willed, nodded and said, "Okay, I am willing to share hardships and life and death with Xiaoyue." ”
In the end, Shui Yanxi decided to fly with Mingyue Edgeworth to the Devil's City to save people, while the other herdsmen stayed in the felt shed and waited for news.
Shui Yanxi's immortal power is much higher than that of Mingyue, and her sword skills are naturally also skillful. Shui Yanxi insisted on flying with Mingyue with the sword, which was called saving combat effectiveness.
Shui Yanxi easily took Mingyue to fly in the direction of Devil City, telling Mingyue the story of Devil City along the way, Mingyue listened to it, and her mood couldn't help but become heavy.
Devil's Town is a taboo for the local herdsmen, as well as for all foreign merchants who pass through the grasslands and deserts of the Western Regions.
The Devil's Town is located at the end of the grassland at the junction of the desert depths, where there are mounds of different shapes and heights, and no matter day or night, there are dark clouds and yellow sand, and there is no daylight. Sandstorms and whirlwinds are stirring in the Devil's City at any time, and as long as people walk in, don't think about coming out again.
Especially in the middle of the night, the wind is fierce, and there are the sounds of ghosts crying and wolf howling everywhere, there are women's choking sounds, there are children's wah-wow crying sounds, and there are even men's yelling sounds, all kinds of sounds come out together, as if the devil's roar, which makes people feel creepy.
The Devil's City, also known as the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, is said to be sealed with ancient demons, as long as people or animals enter, there will be no bones.
There was once a passing camel caravan, when passing near the Devil's Town, encountered a violent storm, so they ran into the Devil's Town to take refuge, and as a result, no one in the entire camel caravan came out alive.
Since then, the Devil's Town has become even more mysterious, almost a nightmare for passing caravans and local herdsmen.
Mingyue asked worriedly: "Xiri Ahong went in yesterday, and now it has been a day and a night, is there still a life?" ”
Shui Yanxi said firmly: "These herdsmen are all the people of the Western Immortal Sect, no matter what, I should go and explore, I want to see people in life, and corpses in death, we men in the Western Regions, shed blood without tears." ”
Mingyue was immediately impressed by Shui Yanxi, he was not just a cynical playboy as he seemed on the surface.
Shui Yanxi smiled: "Little Moon, I'm actually very good, you should consider me carefully." ”
Mingyue said angrily: "Shui Yanxi, you really don't forget to say these words at any time." ”
Shui Yanxi said: "Of course, in our Western Regions, if a person likes another person, he must say it boldly, otherwise, how can the other party know his mind?" ”
Mingyue thought that this might be the difference between the people of the Western Regions and the people of the Eastern Wilderness. The people of the Western Regions are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and like to express their strong thoughts and feelings directly. The people of the Eastern Wilderness prefer to be subtle and introverted, which is the difference between the folk customs of the two sides.
The two chattered all the way, and at dawn, the two finally arrived near Devil's City.
Shui Yanxi took the bright moon to the ground, and the two came to the entrance of the Devil's City to carefully observe the movements in the Devil's City.
From the outside, the Devil's City is full of mounds of several meters to more than ten meters high, with strange shapes, the whole Devil's City is like a dead city, and you can't feel any breath of life, not even a single grass or tree, and a gust of wind blows out from the inside, blowing people cold and piercing, making people feel the breath of death.
Mingyue didn't know why, she always felt that there was a huge danger lurking in the Devil City. She couldn't tell what the danger was, but she felt that the atmosphere here was depressing, as if some ancient beast was hiding inside.
Mingyue said: "Shui Yanxi, I feel that there is something strange in here, it seems that there is something extremely dangerous hidden inside. ”
Shui Yanxi said with a solemn face: "Yes, I feel it too, we have to be careful later." ”
Mingyue nodded.
Shui Yanxi mentioned the immortal power, and shouted loudly with internal force in the devil city: "Xiri Ahong, Xiri Ahong, Xiri Ahong." ”
There was a dead silence in the Devil's Cave, and no sound came out.
Mingyue and Shui Yanxi glanced at each other, the two nodded, and decided to go in and explore no matter what.
Shui Yanxi said softly: "Little Moon, follow me, I will fight in the front." ”
Mingyue nodded, raised her vigilance, and followed Shui Yanxi into the Devil's City step by step.
The two of them had just walked into the Devil's City, and the sky where the sun was shining brightly turned from a dead silence to a dark cloud, lightning and thunder, and for a while they saw the sound of wind and sand walking between the mounds, and the sound of countless ghosts crying and howling wolves was whistling and mingling.
Mingyue noticed that there was a mound in front of her, which was unusually tall, and the shape of the mound looked a bit like a woman's pretty side face, which made people shudder for no reason.
The wind howled, and there seemed to be a woman's mournful cry in the wind, and there seemed to be a woman's sad and earnest singing, poignant, looming, flickering far and near, and it sounded creepy.
Shui Yanxi protected Mingyue tightly behind her, walked slowly forward step by step along the high, low and strangely shaped mound, holding the sword in her hand.
Shui Yanxi asked, "Little Moon, are you afraid?" ”
Mingyue leaned closer to Shui Yanxi and said, "Shui Yanxi, why is this so infiltrating?" I was a little scared. ”
Shui Yanxi said softly: "Little moon, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”
After speaking, the other hand took Mingyue's hand and slowly walked forward step by step.
Black clouds rolled overhead, and fierce winds blew from all angles, making it almost impossible to stand. All kinds of sounds come together, like the huge movement of thousands of troops fighting, which makes people feel terrible to hear.
The black mist around them was shrouded, and the two of them walked hand in hand for a long time, and there were still strangely shaped, hideous and terrifying mounds next to them, and the road seemed to have no end.
Mingyue was puzzled, looked up and observed, and suddenly found that there was a mound next to her that looked a little familiar. She was shocked in her heart, grabbed Shui Yanxi, pointed to the mound and said, "Shui Yanxi, we have been going around here all the time, and we haven't moved forward at all. ”
