Chapter 229: Jiang Yang Ancient City
Although Lin Feng was already a Mahayana monk, in this human realm, except for a very small number of existences like the fire-eyed old man, it was already difficult to find an opponent.
But it is not easy to find the ruins of an ancient country in such a vast desert with a radius of 100,000 miles.
After all, with Lin Feng's spiritual sense, in the world where the laws of time and space were more perfect, the Immortal Sword could only cover a radius of dozens of miles.
Compared with the 100,000-mile desert, the distance of dozens of miles is like a drop in the ocean.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had the guidance of a map on the ancient books, and after his deduction, he had roughly determined the location of the former capital of the Yang Kingdom.
In the blink of an eye, he had been walking in the desert for more than a month, and even Lin Feng couldn't help but add a bit of wind and frost to his face.
"Fifteen hundred years, such a drastic change can actually occur, I have to say that the time and space of the fairy sword really can't be guessed with common sense."
Lin Feng followed the depiction of the ancient map in his memory, and gradually walked to the center of the desert.
Fifteen hundred years ago, it was a fairly rich land, but today, there is only yellow sand as far as the eye can see.
Such a huge desert, according to common sense, would take at least millions of long years to gradually form. But in fact, it only took 1,500 years.
It is conceivable that in the vast land within a radius of 100,000 miles, something little-known must have happened.
With a slight sweep of his spiritual sense, Lin Feng sensed all the movements within sixty miles, and then muttered to himself: "This oasis still exists, it must be extraordinary when you think about it." I've got to go check ......."
It is recorded in ancient books that the most central location of the desert is an oasis with a radius of nearly 100 miles, in which many people still live.
The hot and dry wind blew through his cheeks, Lin Feng spit out a mouthful of hot internal breath, his steps moved slightly, and his figure had disappeared in place.
But he didn't notice that at the moment he disappeared, there was a ground a few miles away from where he had disappeared, and countless sand was tumbling up.
A moment later, a figure wrapped in pitch-black aura appeared on the sand.
This figure is about two meters tall, much taller than an ordinary person, with two blood-red holes in the place of its eyes, and two jet-black fleshy wings growing on its back.
"This person is so extraordinary in cultivation that he is not even below me, why did he come here? Could it be that it's for that thing...... No, I have to report this to the adults first. ”
After some muttering to himself, the tall pitch-black figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
As soon as Lin Feng stepped out, he came to the vicinity of the oasis.
If someone looks down from the sky, the whole oasis is like a turquoise gem set in the vast desert, soft and bright, and incomprehensibly beautiful.
Especially in the center of this gem, there is a bay of azure tears, flooded with glittering light.
In all directions of the oasis, there are countless tourists and merchants from all directions, and such a crowded scene is more lively and prosperous than some state capitals in the Tang Dynasty.
The inhabitants of the area are dressed in distinctive manners, and both men and women, young and old, wrap their heads in turbans. It should be because it's too hot.
Walking closer, Lin Feng noticed that this oasis actually had a city wall, and the texture and style of the city wall were very similar to the style of the Arab people in the original time and space.
However, above the city gate, there are three upright regular script Chinese characters: Jiang Yangcheng.
As soon as he saw the name of this city, Lin Feng's heart moved. Obviously, this ancient desert city must have some connection with the Jiang and Yang countries 1,500 years ago.
"Looking at Shaoxia's expression, it must be the first time to come to our Jiang Yang City, right?"
Just as Lin Feng was looking at the three Chinese characters thoughtfully, suddenly a somewhat rough voice came into his ears.
He turned his head slightly, and saw a man in his thirties, dressed in local clothes, and between his eyebrows and eyes, he had a bit of the characteristics of a Western Regions man with a high nose and a wide mouth, blue eyes and thick lips.
There was a shrewd look in those blue eyes, which was obviously not as rough as its appearance and voice.
The great man of the Western Regions arched his hand in a similar manner, and said solemnly: "In Xia Kuiminti, he is a native of Jiangyang City, and he knows many things in the city well. If you want to travel around the city, you can be your guide. It's just ......"
In the end, this Quementi rubbed his right hand, and the meaning was obvious, asking for money.
Lin Feng smiled indifferently, he just needed to find a local to ask some old things about this ancient city, and now that someone sent it to the door, it would save him a lot of effort.
Pretending to touch it from his arms, he actually took out five gold coins from the Divine Jade Space and swept them in the palm of his hand.
As soon as Quiminti saw the gold coin, a bright light suddenly appeared in his shrewd little eyes, and he reached out to take it.
"Brother Kui, you can give you the gold coins, but you have to explain some of the things I want to ask." Lin Feng held the gold coin in his palm with a palm of his hand.
Kui Mingti's expression recovered, and when he heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Since Kui Mingti dares to take the initiative to come over to solicit your business, I will definitely satisfy you!" I don't dare to say that I know everything about Jiang Yang City, but as long as someone in this Jiang Yang City knows, I can help you find out! ”
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and stuffed the gold coin to Quiminti.
Kui Mingti took the gold coin, quickly stuffed it into his arms, and then cautiously looked around a few times, and suddenly whispered to Lin Feng: "Young man, there are too many people of all kinds in our Jiang Yang City, and there are even some sand bandits wandering around, who come here to enjoy themselves. So you'd better stop revealing your wealth like you did, lest you attract some bad people to prying eyes! ”
Lin Feng smiled when he heard this, nodded noncommittally, and then raised his feet and walked towards the city.
This Quementi, although he loves money, is not bad-hearted.
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, Kui Mingti quickened his pace and hurried over, and continued: "I know that a young man like you who dares to wander the desert alone must be extraordinary in martial arts. Ordinary three or five sand bandits may not be your opponent. But you must know that the so-called two fists are hard to defeat four hands, and the sand bandits have quite a lot of accomplices, some even tens of thousands! ”
This made Lin Feng a little curious, and he couldn't help asking: "With so many sand bandits, the government doesn't send troops to encircle and suppress them?" Besides, how can tens of thousands of people survive in this desert? ”
This is not the Central Plains, Jiangnan, there is drinking water and prey everywhere, many bandits are not able to rob money, but they can also gather in the mountains and forests, barely enough to eat and wear.
How can thousands of sand bandits survive in this desert?
