Chapter 758: A Thousand Miles in the Desert
A convoy of more than a dozen horses, plus a magnificent carriage, the fifth Tingyun galloped all the way, and went straight for twenty miles before slowing down. They had already left the border of Yanhua, and according to the map, they were at the junction of Yanhua, Yimen, and Jinsha. The map shows that this desert area with a radius of 100 miles belongs to the region of Sanzhi, and has always been a buffer zone specially set aside by the three empires.
Unlike most of the tribal areas, this area is so inaccessible that even the most heinous and wanted felons of the Empire are reluctant to come here. Fifth, they didn't know the reason, and the map only gave a brief explanation, but there was no detailed information.
After identifying the direction, the group followed the map and walked a few miles to the northwest.
Along the way, apart from the occasional crow call, there were no living characteristics along the way. Fifth, hearing the clouds, they were all cultivators, and they naturally felt that the elemental power here was much thinner, and when they looked around, they couldn't see any vegetation, not even low shrubs.
There is also the Gobi Desert in the territory of the Yanhua Empire, but it is far less desolate than here.
After a few more miles, they came to a slope, and at this time the sun was setting and night was about to fall.
Fifth, Tingyun and the others turned over and dismounted, raised their eyes and looked around, they couldn't see the village in front of the village, there was no store behind them, and they couldn't even find a ghost. After a brief discussion, they decided to rest here tonight and leave tomorrow. After making a decision, everyone took out their tents from their wagons and set them up on the spot.
The surrounding area is full of desert, and there is no dry wood to be found.
In addition, most of them were injured, so they were not busy, and the seriously injured people began to sit on the ground to heal after setting up tents. Like Zhou Tieniu and Dai Qinglian, who were not injured, they had nothing to do, and after eating the dry food they carried with them, they wandered around, and the two of them walked around, but found that there were rut marks not far away, and it looked like someone should have passed by here in the past few days.
When Dai returned to the camp on Tuesday, everyone had withdrawn from their meditation state, thinking that their injuries had stabilized.
Zhou Tieniu told what he had discovered, and the fifth Tingyun spread out the map in front of him, and after looking at it for a while, he guessed: "According to what you say, it should be the person from the Jinsha Empire who went to participate in the Yuan Dao Meeting, or it may be the ...... of the Yamato Dynasty" Speaking of Yamato, he couldn't help but think of the unpredictable bird You Junzi and the flamboyant Taidao Chuan Feng.
"It should be the people of Yamato. ”
Lou Yingxian pointed to the map and said: "The entire northern territory of the Jinsha Empire is vast, if they want to go to the Yuanmeng Empire, they can start from their northern border, why do they have to go so far to come here? What's more, most of the Yuanmeng capital is still north of Jinsha, and there is no reason to turn around and go south. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The full moon like a jade disk was already high in the night sky, paving a faint silver glow on the endless desert.
Everyone suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere became a little cold.
Sikong Ming leaned on the wheel of the carriage alone, looking at the moon with his head slightly raised, not knowing what he was thinking.
The carriage was a little far away from the rest of the people, so he couldn't hear what the fifth listener was saying.
The fifth Tingyun sat cross-legged, Dai Qinglian and Zhou Tieniu were behind him, although the two of them didn't understand why everyone stopped talking, but they could also feel that the atmosphere was wrong, so they didn't speak again very obediently. Fifth Tingyun noticed that Lou Yingxian, Zhu Qi and the others moved their eyes to Sikong Ming next to the carriage from time to time, and their eyes could not be said to be kind.
Sikong Ming sighed and buried his head, of course he felt the gaze cast at him.
Lou Ying heard a sigh and suddenly said, "You should give an explanation." ”
Yes, I should give an explanation, although the culprit of Cao Pojun's death is Wushenlou, but the cause is Sikong Ming. Sikong Ming himself didn't know, he stood up, walked over, met a pair of unkind or unintentional eyes, and then bowed deeply.
"That's it? You can't help but take human life too lightly. Zhu Qi snorted, she had never given a good face since she joined the team, "We are going to participate in the Yuan Dao Society, not to steal people's money and treasures, I really don't know how a person like you can sneak into us......"
Wan Feijian raised his hand and stopped Zhu Qi's words.
Zhu Qi snorted again, but seeing that his senior brother was slightly blamed, he had no choice but to bow his head and hold back even more vicious words.
Xiao Mengdie hugged the gourd, touched the dent that was knocked out by the monk's stick, looked at the cold moon, and said nothing.
Su Xiao saw that the atmosphere was cold again, and she was about to speak, when a north wind blew, and she shivered unconsciously. Saying in her heart, "Why is it so cold here at night", she crossed her arms and said to Sikong Ming: "You have to at least tell us the cause and effect of the matter, and let us evaluate the relationship with the Martial God Building...... Don't go into someone else's territory when the time comes, we don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”
Sikong Ming shook his head and said, "Don't worry, out of the Yanhua Empire, we will be safe." ”
Everyone looked at Sikong Ming, so Sikong Ming continued: "What I offended was not the Martial God Building, but the owner of the Yanhua Empire Martial God Building, Miyamoto Takeshu. Takeki Miyamoto was a citizen of the Yamato Dynasty, as you should know. ”
Fifth, Tingyun nodded.
Su Xiao snorted: "That day, Taidao Chuan Feng supported his back and instigated Taidao Chuan Feng to in the Jiedan Ring, right......?"
Tan Jinchun and Lou Yingxian were already very familiar with Miyamoto Takeshu, and when Chen Shanpour, Wan Feijian and others heard Su Xiao's muttering, they also suddenly remembered the Martial God Mansion Master who spoke fluent Yanhua official dialect.
Sikong Ming said: "The reason why the emperor has incorporated me into your team is to let me go abroad safely and temporarily get out of the sight of Miyamoto Takeki......
"So," Zhu Qi recalled the scene when he met Sikong Ming again in Shenjing City, and immediately understood, "Miyamoto Takeshu Xingshi was looking for you that day?
"Not bad!"
When it came to Yanhua Thief Saint, Sikong Ming's gloomy look seemed to be swept away, and he saw his right hand flip, and four steel darts appeared between his five fingers like a trick. The four steel darts are as sharp as thorns at one end, and the other is carved in the shape of a wolf's head, and there are extremely conspicuous eight small characters on the dart body: "Yanhua Thief Saint comes here for a visit".
"Xiao Ming, lend me to play. ”
Su Xiao didn't know when he came to Sikong Ming's side, snatched a steel dart, and played carefully.
The fifth heard Yun seeing Su Xiao's expression and asked, "You already knew?"
"No, no, I just found out. Su Xiao waved his hand again and again.
Everyone didn't ask Su Xiao, but looked at Sikong Ming in surprise or confusion, Lou Yingxian asked in a deep voice: "So, what exactly are the things you stolen?" He faintly had some guesses, he had lived in Shenjing City for a long time, although he had never been to the court, but he was no stranger to the court, just a few words, he deduced that Sikong Ming stole things by the emperor's order......
"This ...... I don't know. Sikong Ming recalled, "It's just a few letters, but those letters have been sealed by people with special powers, and if I'm right, it should be some kind of exquisite elemental circle." The emperor once told me not to spy on the contents of the letter with Yuan Li......"
Chen Shan said at this time: "Because once you do that, you will not be able to take things out of the Martial God Tower. ”
Tan Jinchun asked: "The positioning element array with additional element force feedback?"
Lou Yingxian continued: "Not only that, there should also be a self-destructive Yuan Array that receives strong external stimulation. I'm afraid that this thing you stole will plunge the Yanhua Empire into a catastrophe. ”
Chen Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it an opportunity?"
"Hey, what are you talking about," Sikong Ming shouted, "What a catastrophe, what a chance, what you say seems to be a bit similar to what the emperor mutters alone......"
The fifth Tingyun pouted: "I would like to know more about what the positioning Yuan Array and the self-destruct Yuan Array are......
