Above the snowy fields.

Xingxin has already found a family and settled down.

Within a radius of ten miles, this was the only family, the humble brick house barely able to withstand the wind and snow outside, and there was only one old woman inside, wearing a gray-black plush coat, which was dirty and shabby, and had not been washed for some time.

Her legs and feet were already in danger, and there was no way to get out of here, so she had to stay here alone to survive.

"Little girl, are you hungry? There is still half a steamed bun here, you will eat it." The old woman's hand holding the steamed bun trembled, and she handed it to Xingxin.

"No, mother-in-law, I'm not hungry. As she spoke, she took out a few meatloaf from the core ring, handed them to the old woman, and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you eat first, it's hot." ”

The old woman was very excited, and when she continued the meatloaf, she babbled and did not know what to say.

"Where are you from, little girl?" asked the old woman.

Xing Xin replied with a smile: "Outside, it's different from this world. ”

The old woman smiled kindly, "I used to be outside, but then I stayed here for a long, long time. ”

"Huh?" Xing Xin was confused, this was the Dream of Illusion, and the "outside" that the old woman was referring to didn't know if it was the Extravagant Star Realm, or if it was another place in the Dream of Illusion.

The old woman said: "There are nothing good in this place, there is a Sacred Rank Early Stage Beast in Beishan, it seems to be guarding some spiritual object, I think you came here for that spiritual object." ”

"Spirits?"

"I don't know what kind of thing it is, but you're here, and I'd suggest you check it out. ”

Xing Xin wondered, this is an endless snowfield, and the so-called spiritual objects should also be in the ice system, which is still useful to Qin Zhengbing, an ice control master, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her at all.

"Mm-hmm, I'll check it out then. She answered.

"Mother-in-law, what should I call you?"

"Xi Yun. ”

"Xi Yun.. . . A nice name. ”

The wind and snow on the snowfield seem to have never stopped, but the thickness of the snow on the ground has not changed, and in the snowy world, there is no sign of other life, extremely cold and desolate.

is also desolate, as well as the desert where Qin Zhengbing and Xia Lingxin descended.

Looking around, except for some tall cacti, there are no animals or plants, only an endless sea of sand and a blazing red sun.

They didn't know how long they had walked, and they hadn't found a place to stay, and they were so exhausted that they simply fainted.

"Zheng C, you see... Is that an illusion?" Xia Lingxin pointed to in the direction of a green field, and if you look closely, there is a pool of water.

Qin Zhengbing explained: "I have read in the book, this is called mirage, it is the illusion of the lost people in the desert in the difficulty, there are many records about mirages in the book, it is said that people who can see mirages have despair in their hearts, and they are often only one step away from death. ”

"But over there... Xia Lingxin stopped, his eyes fixed in that direction.

Qin Zhengbing kept walking, his expression calm.

"Hey, two friends, are you lost?"

From the direction of the mirage, a slight sound was heard, but I could hear what was being said.

"Zhengbing, the people in the mirage seem to be calling us. Xia Lingxin said in surprise.

Qin Zhengbing stopped at this time and glanced back, there were indeed people in the mirage waving to them.

"It doesn't look like a mirage, we're over. ”

A young man dressed as a shopkeeper who had just stopped them was greeted by a shopkeeper, and when he saw them coming, he greeted them, "You two, what are you doing? Why did you come here?"

"Come and play. Xia Lingxin replied.

"This is not a good place to play, three hundred miles away, only here are the tracks, look at the direction you are going, I know that you are lost. ”

"Oh?"

"Friends don't know, the direction you just went to can be described as purgatory on earth, fortunately I stopped you, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Qin Zhengbing asked, "Where does the saying of purgatory on earth come from?"

"Friend, have you heard of the two heavens of ice and fire?"

Qin Zhengbing shook his head.

"If you get there, you will know that there are two heavens of ice and fire, where the day is the fire hell, and the night is the ice hell, and there is a special beast that can burn fire and control the ice, and the realm is said to have reached the fivefold realm of the holy level, and the final fate of all the tourists who pass through there is extremely miserable. ”

Xia Lingxin asked, "Where is this place?"

"Shalu Village, the only oasis in the desert. ”

Xia Lingxin looked at him, "Look at your dress, you're soliciting business, is there an inn nearby?"

The young man smiled and said, "Friend, good eyesight, I'm the second shopkeeper of the Shalu Inn, if you want to stay or eat, I'll take you there." ”

"Okay, you lead the way. Qin Zhengbing responded.

"Delle. ”

.. .. ..

Shalu Village is a very small village, distributed in a circle around a large pond, and there are less than 100 residents left here.

The plants are mainly salix, poplar, white elm and palm trees, which are mainly rooted near pools, where water is abundant and clear.

The shopkeeper led them straight to the Sand Green Inn.

"The shopkeeper, there are two guests. ”

The shopkeeper was a woman with a baby in her arms.

She smiled and asked, "How long are you going to stay, you two?" and do you need water and food? ”

Xia Lingxin replied: "We can't leave for a while, and the house price will be calculated according to two rooms and two months to ensure the daily supply of water and food." ”

The shopkeeper coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Two, this is a big deal." ”

"How much?" Qin Zhengbing said coldly.

The shopkeeper interjected, "Friend, in fact, we don't charge money here, and in the desert, money is worthless. ”

"What do you receive?" Xia Lingxin asked.

The shopkeeper replied: "A real baby." ”

What kind of place, what kind of market, gold coins really don't work in this desert.

Qin Zhengbing took out a golden flute from the core ring and said, "Love is a flute, there is no market." ”

Xia Lingxin looked at him sluggishly, "Zheng Bing, when the love flute comes out of your mouth, it has depreciated by ninety or ninety percent." ”

She took the love flute from Qin Zhengbing's hand and introduced: "The love flute is a mysterious craftsman made of pure dragon marrow gold, which can be used as a sound instrument or as a weapon. It is said that its flute can call the clouds and the moon, hypnotize all things, make the moon clear and clear, the sea is dry and rotten, as a weapon, everything can be destroyed, the world is not big. ”

"So powerful?" the shopkeeper didn't believe it.

"Ask your shopkeeper. Xia Lingxin said.

It seems that the shopkeeper of the Shalu Inn is just a first-time mother, but Xia Lingxin feels that she is not simple, at least she has some knowledge.

"The real thing, it can't be fake. The shopkeeper's eyes looked at it and showed a shallow smile.
