Chapter 16 The Blue Desert

The next day, the east was still dark, Xinglang and Xiaosan directly woke up Mo Xuan, and then left the academy with the ten concubines and walked towards the Xuanjing vein.

The Xuanjing vein, located thirty miles east of the north of the Barren Academy, is a land rich in Xuanjing. Crystal, a metal that is as hard as iron, but softer than iron, and is an excellent material for smelting weapons.

However, Xuanjing is not as deep underground as Xuantian, but is extremely scattered on the surface of the desert, like shells on the beach. Because of this characteristic of Xuanjing, the price of Xuanjing is also much higher than that of Xuantian, and to obtain Xuanjing, only human resources can collect it.

The Barren Academy is divided into four gates, east, west, north and south, and the only way to enter and exit the academy is through these four gates, because the entire academy is located on all sides of this large basin is covered by a kind of courtyard protection array, like an invisible qi wall, which cannot be passed through from other places.

The four of them went out through the north gate and turned from north to east. Along the way, they also met a lot of teenagers and girls dressed in barren academy costumes, and they should have taken Xuanjing to subsidize their daily expenses.

During this period, Mo Xuan did not see the "sand castle" mentioned by Xiao San, but in order not to arouse their suspicion, Mo Xuan did not ask in a hurry, but while hurrying on the road, he controlled the weight of Shen Jia at fifteen catties, and continued to cultivate his source qi manipulation power.

After rushing for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination when the east was faintly bright.

"Here, wouldn't it be the Xuanjing vein?" Standing on a sand dune, looking at the desert in the distance, Mo Xuan was dumbfounded.

The desert as far as the eye can see, a pale blue color, like the sea. Mo Xuan thought it was dye, but after a closer look, he found that the sand of the desert was blue. The area of the Blue Desert is very large, and its borders are not visible at a glance, and at this time, there are already many figures on the Blue Desert, and it seems that they should be collecting the so-called Xuanjing. And there are many adult people among them, and it seems that this area should be a public place.

"Hehe, I was shocked, when I first came here, I thought I had run to the beach. Xinglang leaned over and said with a smile.

"It's shocking, but what's the sand here, why is it blue? Mo Xuan said.

"Since the academy is called the ore vein, then we will follow it. Xinglang said: "But the sand here is indeed very strange, I have never seen blue sand, and I also asked some teachers in the academy later, but they don't know." ”

"But there is an anomaly, and there must be a mutation. I think there must be something underneath this blue desert, otherwise it wouldn't have turned blue for no reason. Mo Xuan thought and said.

"The little brother is right, there is indeed something down here. Mo Xuan was pondering, and suddenly a young man's voice came from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a blue-robed young man in his early twenties walking over, followed by two entourages behind the young man, and looking at their clothes, they were not from the Desolate Academy.

Mo Xuan clenched his fists, gave a salute, and said, "This big brother, I don't know what you just said, what do you mean?

The young man walked over with a smile, glanced at the four Mo Xuan, and said, "Little brother, what you just said is right, there is indeed something under this sand, and the reason why this desert is blue is also caused by that thing. ”

"What is that thing?" Mo Xuan asked curiously.

The young man smiled slightly, glanced at the four Mo Xuan again, and asked, "You should be students of the Desolate Academy, right?"

The four were silent, not knowing how to respond.

The young man smiled and said, "The reason why the strength of the Desolate Academy has grown so fast over the years is also because of the power of that thing, since you are students of the Desolate Academy, then I can't tell you the reason." ”

Speaking of this, the young man paused, then glanced at the four Mo Xuan, and said: "But for the sake of you and students, I can remind you not to try to find something, if you provoke it, your little life will be gone, even if Gu Qiu comes, it won't save you." ”

"Why can't you look for it?" Mo Xuan asked again.

The young man laughed and said, "Curiosity kills people, little brother, don't ask why, don't try to find it, remember my words well, and you will thank me in the future." ”

As he spoke, the young man turned around and walked towards the west.

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Mo Xuan's eyes were full of contemplation.

Xinglang patted Mo Xuan's shoulder, glanced at the young man with a wary face, and said, "That person is a liar, Brother Xuanying, don't listen to him, if there is really something under this desert, then why haven't we found out after so many years." ”

"No, there really seems to be something underneath the desert. Xiaosan suddenly interjected.

Xing Lang was furious when he heard this, pointed at Xiaosan's nose, and scolded: "Xiaosan, are you deliberately finding fault, every time I finish speaking, you will dismantle my platform, if you want to go it alone, you can say it clearly, don't beat around the bush so much." ”

"I'm not finding fault, I'm telling the truth, there's really something under the desert. Xiaosan waved his hand and said.

Hearing Xiaosan say this, Mo Xuan didn't feel like he was laughing, so he was also interested, and asked, "Brother Xiaosan, how do you know that there is something under this desert? Have you seen it?" Or did you hear what others said?"

The tenth concubine, who had been silent on the side, also secretly cast a curious gaze.

"Actually, I'm not too sure..."

As soon as Xiaosan said a word, he was interrupted by Xinglang. "You bastard, I'm not sure what else to say, hey, I didn't expect you to be so good at playing tricks now, go, pull a field, let's go alone. ”

As he spoke, Xinglang tugged at his loose arm.

"What a black belly, I haven't finished yet. Pulling Xinglang away, Xiao San continued: "Actually, I was really not too sure, but when I was mining Xuanjing here yesterday, there was a sudden shaking under the desert, I think you should have felt it at that time." ”

"It's just that the earth veins are shaking, what's the big deal, it's not that I haven't touched it. Xinglang said.

"Yesterday?" Mo Xuan thought for a moment, when he had just entered the Barren Academy, the ground did shake, so he asked, "I also felt it yesterday, but what is this earth pulse shaking?"

"Leyline shaking is a natural phenomenon in the desert, and every once in a while, an underground volcano erupts, and the desert also has a slight tremor at that time. Xinglang explained.

Xiaosan nodded, his face suddenly became serious and said: "That's right, it is indeed the earth veins shaking, but when I was here yesterday, in addition to feeling the ground shaking, I also heard a strange sound. ”

"What kind of voice?" Mo Xuan asked urgently, and the Tenth Concubine and Xinglang both cast curious glances. Although Xiaosan usually likes to joke, he is very serious when he is down to business, and now he actually shows a serious expression, which means that he has really encountered something strange.

"I don't know exactly what the sound is, but it's not a human voice, it's like a beast. And, after listening to it for a long time, I realized that the sound seemed to come from underground. Xiaosan said seriously, and then suddenly smiled, and said: "But it is also possible that I heard it wrong, how can there be fierce beasts in this place." ”

Looking at Xiaosan's forcibly squeezed smile, Mo Xuan shook his head suspiciously, combined with yesterday's scene, and secretly thought: "I remember that when the ground shook yesterday, Dean Gu said, 'That thing has come out again', and now it seems that the thing that Dean said should be a living thing, and it is also a living thing that makes him afraid." If the thing the dean said was the same as the sound that Xiaosan heard, then I am afraid that there are really fierce beasts hidden under this desert. But what is there to fear about the beast, is it any different from the others?"

Mo Xuan thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time became more curious, and Uncle Ghost said that Gu Qiuyi was known as the Desolate Saint King, and he could make a fierce beast that a peak martial king fear, what kind of thing did it be?

"Brother Xiaosan, do you remember where you heard that voice yesterday?" asked Mo Xuan.

"Remember, what's the matter? You're not going to look for that, are you? Brother Xuanying, it's not that I'm cowardly, it's just that that thing is indeed too terrifying, think about it, it can make the desert tremble, then do you say that with our strength, we can fight, in case we touch it, I'm afraid it won't even be enough as an appetizer. "Loose persuasion.

"Yes, Brother Xuanying, don't look for it, even if there is a fierce beast, that's the matter of the elders of the academy, let's not go. Xinglang also agreed with what Xiaosan said.

The tenth concubine stood aside coldly, without saying a word, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Mo Xuan smiled: "You misunderstood, I don't think I have a long life, how can I go to find a fierce beast, I just want to go and see the place where Brother Xiaosan heard the voice yesterday." I've heard that where there are fierce beasts, there will be treasures. Since Brother Xiaosan can hear the sound of the fierce beast, there should be treasures nearby, and I just want to go and see it, and try my luck by the way. ”

"Really?" asked Xiao Wai, skeptically.

"Of course, and with my meager strength, how dare I touch a fierce beast. Mo Xuan replied.

"That's just as well. He patted the dust on his body and said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take you there, but there is one thing I have to say, if I really find the treasure, after selling it for money, I will take a large share." ”

"You're so black-bellied, why are you so greedy. Xinglang said.

"The place is what I found, and the road I took you to, in case I really found the treasure, of course I have a lot of share, this is what I deserve. "Loose righteous words.

"Let's just decide, don't waste time here, let's get off quickly. The tenth concubine suddenly spoke, and took the lead in stepping onto the blue desert.

Xiaosan and Xinglang were stunned, but they didn't expect the tenth concubine not to refuse, this temperament is a little different from her before.

"Let's go, most of the eldest sisters are gone, let's hurry up and follow. Mo Xuan smiled and quickly followed.

"In that case, let's go, in fact, I'm also very curious about that place. Xiaosan clapped his hands and ran quickly in front of the three to guide them.

Just when the four of them had just walked into the blue desert, behind a sand dune in the northwest direction, a figure was raising his eyes to observe them, and looking at the figure up close, it was the blue-robed young man who had been talking to Mo Xuan and them earlier.

"Young Patriarch, you have already revealed the news to more than a dozen waves of students of the Desolate Academy in the past few days, but is it really useful for you to do so? Can they really find that thing for us?" a middle-aged man asked softly behind the young man.

"How can I know if I don't try. The Barren Academy had been hiding that thing for hundreds of years, and their students should be able to find something more or less in the academy. Now I just hope that after hearing what I have revealed, they will be able to generate some curiosity and take the initiative to find out. Otherwise, this Mobei is so big, we can't search for it anyway. The boy said.

"If we let the higher-ups of the Desolate Academy know that we are looking for the whereabouts of that thing, will they attack us? With the strength of our family, we can't withstand the blow of the Desolate Academy!" said the middle-aged man abusively and worriedly.

"That's why I leaked the news and asked my students to help find it. As long as we find that thing, we must grab it as soon as possible, as long as we get it, I see who will dare to be the enemy of my Shanhai clan in the future. The boy clenched his fists and looked in the direction of the Barren Academy, his eyes full of ambition.

This young man is the young patriarch of the Mobei Shanhai clan, and the mountains and seas return to the yuan. Degree of literature
