In the middle of July, it was still very hot in Dunhuang City. In addition, the terrain here is relatively complex, so it naturally cannot be compared with the so-called pure land of the Central Plains.

If you are a pampered person, or a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I advise you not to come here to be bored.

People who have never been to Dunhuang can't help but want to come here alone to experience the so-called exotic customs. But once he really got what he wanted, he was very eager to leave this place.

This kind of language is very suitable to describe the situation Liu Ruotian is in at the moment.

Before leaving, Liu Ruotian, who had nothing to do, had great expectations for this trip to Dunhuang, so that he was overly optimistic and made a wrong judgment of the situation, which in turn provided a breeding ground for various disasters in the future.

Liu Ruotian thought that after this, his unique experience would be written into an immortal legend, but he never thought that he would almost die here last night.

If it weren't for Yue Jichao's timely rescue, Liu Ruotian would have been lying on the coffin board this time, dreaming of his spring and autumn dreams.

At this moment, Liu Ruotian clearly realized that he was an ordinary man after all, not something different.

Although Liu Ruotian still has some skills that only modern people have, his so-called skills seem to have lost their role in the society at that time, which is the so-called anachronism.

Nowadays, those "advanced" techniques that he is proud of seem to be very backward.

In some cases, when you think you are superior to others, you have been left far behind.

There is a way of natural selection, survival of the fittest. Even if you can't protect others, at least don't always be a burden to them.

The rivers and lakes are sinister and unpredictable, and what you have to face is an endless stream of realistic blows, rather than affection for you and me.

How can there be so many so-called "good things" waiting for you to encounter, they are just the beautiful fantasies of whimsicals.

If Liu Ruotian wants to break out of a new world, he must be truth-seeking, pragmatic, diligent and hardworking.

After figuring this out, Liu Ruotian went to the outside of Dunhuang City alone, and then began to carefully inspect the surrounding terrain in order to find a way out for everyone's next plan.

It is bordered by a desert in the west and a neighbor in the north, and a high mountain on both sides of the southeast, so the geographical environment is very complex.

If Jiang Xinghe and the others had really arrived in Dunhuang and waited for the opportunity to hide in the shadows, and then plotted to seize the Ling Snake Sword, it would be really difficult to deal with it with the strength of him and Yue Jichao.

Fortunately, Liu Ruotian is not too stupid, so that he obeys Yue Jichao's words. As early as ten days ago, Liu Ruotian secretly sent a message to Xiyue Pavilion, hoping that after Kong Fanjin saw the information, he could quickly send someone to help them in case of an emergency.

At this moment, Liu Ruotian suddenly heard a scowl in his stomach. I think I didn't eat in the morning, so I behaved like this.

Seeing this, Liu Ruotian looked up. The fiery sun was already hanging in mid-air, so it was inferred that it should have been past noon at this moment.

So even if the hungry Liu Ruotian returned to the Ukiyo Inn, the current priority was to have a full meal.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Ruotian walked quickly to the Ukiyo Inn, it was already empty.

Seeing this, Liu Ruotian immediately came to the counter, and then began to ask the guy here, what the hell is going on.

According to the shopkeeper, their shopkeeper Yilin Ye suddenly contracted a serious illness today, so that she could not take care of the affairs in the inn normally.

In desperation, Ye Yilin ordered her to suspend business, and after her condition improved, she would make another plan.

After learning of this situation, Liu Ruotian was full of doubts. This Ye Yilin was still alive a few days ago, how could she suddenly fall ill?

Just thinking about it, Liu Ruotian's stomach rang again. That being the case, Liu Ruotian had no choice but to find something to eat by himself.

However, when Liu Ruotian, who was about to faint from hunger, came to the kitchen to take a look, he found that it was also empty.

Don't say it's big fish, big meat, mountains and seafood, and even the common ingredients such as radish and green vegetables are left.

No wonder the people in the inn hid in the house and did not come out, it turned out that the food here was exhausted, so they had to do so.

After all, the weather is extremely hot at the moment, and if you suffer from heat stroke while hungry, you will not have to return to the west.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ruotian was quite surprised. Before this, the pampered Liu Ruotian rarely went out of the room at all, let alone came to this kind of place to see, and the ingredients here could last for a few days. I didn't expect them to get to this point, it's unbelievable.

Although it is located in the desert, but the materials are very sufficient, it is impossible to be so scarce.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruotian casually picked up a big white radish beside him and gnawed it on his own.

In the absence of delicacies, it is already very rare to have such large white radishes to satisfy their hunger.

When he was young, Liu Ruotian quickly ran to the second floor of the inn, and then went straight back to the room where he and Yue Jichao lived.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the room, Liu Ruotian began to sneeze non-stop. It turned out that he was stimulated by the aroma of the grilled fish that Yue Jichao ate, so he had this reaction.

I really didn't expect that just when everyone in the inn was thrifty and frugal, so as to tide over the difficulties together, Yue Jichao could still eat fragrant grilled fish.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ruotian was angry. The heart says, "I have worked tirelessly under the scorching sun to inquire into the truth, and you are here to seek pleasure."

Yue Jichao on the side saw that Liu Ruotian was displeased, so he said to him: "If you want fish to eat, you can fish and roast it yourself." There's no need to keep hanging your head and crying like I owe you money. ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Ruotian immediately smiled and said: "You don't come to this set, don't think I don't know, this fish must have been stolen from the kitchen by you while people were unprepared!" If not, why be so sneaky? ”

Hearing this, Yue Jichao did not respond immediately, but still concentrated on eating his fish.

When he was young, Yue Jichao said to him seriously: "First of all, this fish is indeed what I got through my own efforts. Secondly, I didn't eat it sneakily. Otherwise, don't say it's the fish itself, and you don't even want to smell the smell. ”

"Yes, I don't argue with you. I've always hated eating fish since I was a child. Once, I almost got stuck in a fish bone......"

Although Liu Ruotian said so, he didn't think so in his heart. Otherwise, his saliva would not involuntarily flow to the base of his chin.

However, even so, Yue Jichao never let him take a bite, so that Liu Ruotian's face was red and he gritted his teeth. Then he abruptly stood up, intent on leaving.

Seeing this situation, Yue Jichao said unhurriedly: "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity. Originally, I have good news for you. Now it seems that you will not listen. ”

"What good news! Is it Mei ......" After Liu Ruotian heard this, he quickly turned around, and then couldn't wait to start asking Yue Jichao.

As expected, Mei Yuchen and others actually came to Dunhuang City. However, they did not live in the Ukiyo Inn like Ke Yu, but disappeared without a trace after entering the city.

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to the place where Ke Yu suddenly went to open the seal of the Ling Snake Sword, Liu Ruotian's heart became more and more uneasy.

Because of who owns the Ling Snake Sword in the end, this will be directly related to the success or failure of many forces, and even the safety of the entire martial arts.

Now, Jiang Xinghe, who has been planning for a long time, has led people to sneak into Dunhuang City, ready to wait for the opportunity.

If the Ling Snake Sword and the Ying Butterfly Sword all fell into the hands of this person, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Liu Ruotian and the others are fighting for their lives this time, and they definitely can't let Jiang Xinghe's conspiracy succeed.

According to reliable information, the mysterious Ke Tu Yu will go to retrieve the Ling Snake Sword three days later.

Without further ado, Liu Ruotian and the others must act immediately.

On the eve of the incident, the worried Bai Muyun wandered alone outside the room and never left.

Although Ke Sudden's safety has never been threatened in the past few days, the calmer it is, the more Bai Muyun's heart feels that something is wrong with this matter.

Then, Bai Muyun began to have deep worries and panic about tomorrow's actions, for fear that there would be another chaos.

However, what puzzled Bai Muyun was that he was an outsider who would inevitably be afraid when facing such a situation, but Ke Sudden, who was deeply involved in it, seemed to wish that this day would come sooner, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

At the same time, Kong Fanjin, who had already received Liu Ruotian's secret report, had already sent a number of masters of Xiyue Pavilion to Dunhuang to assist the two in their actions.

At nightfall, under the protection of Bai Muyun and the three Turkic swordsmen, Ke Yu, who was worried about it, passed through the secret passages that extended in all directions under the Ukiyo Inn, and then secretly came to a castle located in the depths of the desert.

After that, everyone was amazed. I couldn't imagine that such a desolate place could have such an extremely secret place.

However, due to its age, the above-ground part of the castle has been completely destroyed, leaving only a ruined ruin.

It is worth mentioning that although this castle looks dilapidated on the surface, in fact, there are many hidden mysteries in it, and the so-called Ling Snake Sword is sealed in the underground dark room here.

In order to prevent accidents, Ke Yu deliberately ordered three swordsmen to stay outside the castle, and he entered it alone with Bai Muyun to take out the Ling Snake Sword.

When they were young, Bai Muyun and Ke Yu suddenly came to the door of the underground dark room, and then began to prepare to follow the steps and slowly open the door.

It turns out that in order to successfully open this door and enter the secret room safely, you must not only rely on the unique key that can be suddenly in your hand, but also need to crack an intricately designed nine-square grid on the door of the secret room.

This nine-square grid is composed of nine different Chinese characters, which are thought, feeling, forgetting, love, leisure, state, thought, meaning, and wish.

If you want to successfully crack this nine-square grid, you must press the three fixed combinations of "willing to forget the love state, the sense of thinking and forgetting, and the feeling of love and thought" in order. Then, a recess above the door will appear for the key.

If someone who is familiar with the structure of this thing comes and rashly activates the Nine Square Grid, then he will only be killed on the spot by the news of the mechanism hidden in it.

However, just when Ke was about to use the key in his hand to open the door completely, an accident happened.

I saw that Ke suddenly covered his heart with his hand, and then felt a tingling pain here, and the key in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

Just when he suddenly thought that something was wrong, he suddenly returned to his original state, and this process lasted only a few seconds.

At this moment, Bai Muyun squatted down, and then helped Ke Tuyu pick up the key on the ground.

Just as the key was gradually placed in the groove, an even more unexpected situation occurred - the key was broken in the groove.

The key is made of a special material and is so sturdy that it is impossible to become like this just because it can be accidentally dropped on the ground.

Now, the door can't be opened normally for the time being, but the message of the mechanism in the dark tunnel is gradually activated due to the sudden break of the key in the groove.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the way back to the ground was inexplicably blocked at this moment......
