Chapter 10 The Barren Academy

"Curse, what curse?" Mo Xuan asked with curiosity on his face when he heard such a thing as a curse for the first time.

"It's just a kind of desert admonition to mankind. You don't need to know that much, you just have to remember that you should never try to fly in the desert, otherwise you won't even know how you don't even have a life. Gu Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, we still have to hurry, old man, I don't want to stay in the desert overnight." ”

As he spoke, Gu Qiu turned around and walked towards the north.

"What kind of curse is it?" Mo Xuan muttered in a low voice, thinking for a long time to no avail, and no longer thinking about it, he quickly followed Gu Qiuyi's footsteps and walked towards the north. But his face was always brooding.

When Mo Xuan went to the Barren Academy, the ghost shadow used the spatial escape technique and returned to the top of the cliff not far from the thatched house.

Not long after the ghost appeared, Mo Xun and Mo Kui also flashed over together.

"How's the preparation?" said the ghost, looking up at the western sky.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the ghost master's order. Mo Xun and Mo Kui knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and clenched their fists.

"Good. The ghost took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "This mission, there is only revenge." After the Hui tribe, quickly search for the whereabouts of the clansmen and the patriarch, and after gathering forces, as long as they are related to the Ying clan, kill all of them. This time, we will give the Ying people a taste of blood. ”

"Please give the ghost a code name for this operation. The two of them asked with fiery faces.

The ghost's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Tomb, the 'tomb' of the tomb." ”

"Yes!"

The two drank in unison, and after clasping their fists again, they only heard a whoosh and disappeared.

The ghost frowned slightly, and after glancing at the northern sky, he cast a spatial escape spell and disappeared into the top of the cliff in an instant. For a while, there was not a trace of human beings on the top of the huge mountain, only a slowly falling yellow leaf and a sigh.

......

Gu Qiuyi led Mo Xuan all the way to the north, and after walking for about an hour, he saw the shadow of the post station. The two walked into the post station, and Gu Qiuyi took out a thousand crystal coins and pulled out a calf.

Crystal coin is the common currency of the Fengyun Continent, and at the price of the mainland, one thousand crystal coins is almost the cost of an ordinary family for a month. The thousand crystal coins that Gu Qiuyi took were not used to buy them, but to lease them. There is a rule in Mobei that private ownership is not allowed, only leased. When you rent it from the post station, you need to pay 1,000 crystals as collateral, and when you return it to the station, the station will return 800 crystals, and the 200 coins will be withheld by the station, which is considered a fee.

As soon as Gu Qiu pulled the stool out, Mo Xuan couldn't help but feel a little scared when he looked at the appearance of the sling. This is an adult male calf, looking like a unicorn, about two feet long, with long pointed ears, and a huge head with eyes the size of two children's heads, the eyes are gray and yellow, the pupils are erect, and there is a feeling that the soul is being peeped at under each other.

"Is this the Qiang? Sure enough, it feels like a ferocious beast. Looking at the height of the sling, Mo Xuan whispered.

"Shadow boy, I haven't seen it, don't look at it running on the ground, its speed is much faster than many flying beasts. Led the Qian out, Gu Qiu walked to Mo Xuan's side, picked him up, and jumped on the Qi to ride.

"The body is low, and the grasp is steady. Sitting firmly on the back of the Qian, Gu Qiuyi said with a smile, and when Mo Xuan grasped it firmly, his palm patted it under the neck of the Qian, and he raised his head to the sky and roared, his limbs contracted and forced, and he galloped away in the distance like a tiger coming out of the mountain.

Lying on the wide back, looking at the receding sand dunes on both sides, and listening to the whirring wind in his ears, Mo Xuan's mood couldn't help but improve, not as lost as before.

"It's really fast!" said happily at present, since he was a child, he likes to play on horseback, but he didn't expect that the speed of this pin is faster than that of a horse.

"Not only are they fast, but they are also resistant to heat and hunger. It is precisely because of the existence of the stool that people's lives on this desert will be much more convenient. However, it is inherently ferocious, very difficult to train, and must be cultivated from an early age, so ordinary families have no ability to domesticate it at all, and only some big clans can do it. Gu Qiuyi said while touching his beard.

At this time, there was a source qi flowing around his body, and that source qi condensed into an energy membrane directly in front of him, shielding the two of them from being blown by strong winds. It's just that what is a little puzzled is that Gu Qiuyi's source qi is actually red and blue, and it looks like neon from a distance.

"I see. His gaze swept over Gu Qiuyi, Mo Xuan didn't think much about it, and asked again, "Dean, at this rate, how long will it take us to get to the academy." ”

"It's been more than half an hour. ”

"Oh. Mo Xuan nodded, bored, he was ready to use Shen Jia to practice his source qi control power, but after thinking about it, if Shen Jia Gu Qiu found out, in case the latter found out his true identity, it would not be good.

As a result, Mo Xuan gave up exercising his source qi, but thought about how to seal it in his heart, after all, the sealing method of the Five Elements Seal can be imagined out of thin air.

Time passed, and I don't know how long it took, Mo Xuan only felt that his speed suddenly slowed down.

"Have you arrived at the academy?" Mo Xuan asked suspiciously, looking up and looking around, there was still a pale yellow desert in the distance, but there were a lot more people here than before.

"No, this is the closest post station to the academy, we have to return it first, beasts are not allowed in the academy. Gu Qiuyi explained.

"Oh. Mo Xuan was stunned.

Jumping down, Gu Qiuyi led the Qian into the post station, while Mo Xuan stood outside and looked around curiously. This post station occupies a large area, and there are many businesses around, not only wine shops, but also restaurants and inns, which completely feels like a small city center.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people here, it seems that the Barren Academy should not be far from here. Mo Xuan said. In this desert area, there are still so many people, then there must be a big market nearby, or a settlement, and throughout this area, the only place where a large number of people can gather is the Barren Academy.

"Alas, the environment here is far worse than in the clan, I hope Uncle Ghost can finish things smoothly, and then take me out as soon as possible." ”

Mo Xuan sighed secretly, the dry environment, the turbid wind and sand, made him very uncomfortable between the green mountains and green waters for a long time.

"Hey, that's not right, if there is something in the clan, then why don't you see the clan coming? Could it be that Uncle Ghost deliberately lied to me so that I could be left here alone? But this is not right, if it is a lie to me, then why did Uncle Ghost tell me how to open the bloodline? Could it be that my father asked Uncle Ghost to do this?" Thinking of the green mountains and green waters in the clan, Mo Xuan suddenly noticed that something was wrong, but no matter what, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Forget it, I don't want to, Uncle Ghost won't lie to me anyway. And with a father, there shouldn't be much of a problem in the clan. After thinking for a long time to no avail, Mo Xuan chose to laugh right.

"Xuanying, what are you doing in a daze? Let's go, go back to the academy. While Mo Xuan was pondering, Gu Qiuyi suddenly shouted, Mo Xuan came back to his senses, and after agreeing, he ran in the direction of the latter.

The two of them went one after the other, without a single word. After walking for a stick of incense, just after crossing a sand dune, the originally dry air suddenly turned into a pleasant fragrance.

"It's so fragrant, why is it so fragrant here!" The fragrance in the air instantly attracted Mo Xuan's attention, and he quickly sniffed twice.

Gu Qiu smiled and said, "This is the fragrance of water laurel, and being able to smell it means that we are not far from the academy." ”

"Really, but why didn't I see the shadow of the academy?" Mo Xuan tiptoed and looked around.

Gu Qiu smiled, pointed to the highest sand dune in the north, and said, "You can see it when you climb over that sand dune." ”

Hearing this, Mo Xuan hurriedly took two quick steps, and when he could climb to the top, the scene in front of him made his mouth open wide in surprise.

As far as the eye can see, it is a low-lying area, which looks like a basin. The basin ground is so large that you can't see the end of it at a glance, and there are all kinds of flowers, plants, and trees, birds and beasts playing on it, and even many bio-ink mysteries have never seen it. In the interior of the basin, there are several dark rivers running through it, and on both sides of the river, thousands of pavilions and pavilions stand, it is really unimaginable that there is such a scenery in this desert.

And above this basin, there is a faint rainbow of light, which covers the entire sky, as if a giant seven-colored light mask, separating the space inside the basin from the desert.

"This, is this still a desert?" Looking at the greenery in front of him, Mo Xuan was dumbfounded, how much manpower and material resources would it take to build such a paradise in the desert.

Standing beside Mo Xuan, looking at the treasure land in the sand in the distance, Gu Qiuyi smiled with a smile: "This is the Desolation Academy, since the first dean of the Desolate Academy, the Desolate Academy has been expanding, and even today, it has been almost a thousand years. ”

"More than a thousand years? I can't imagine that the Barren Academy has such a long history. Mo Xuan was a little surprised.

"Haha, you kid, there's so much you don't know. Seeing Mo Xuan's expression, Gu Qiu smiled and said, "And what you see now is only the surface of the academy, there are still many things that have been hidden, and when you enter the academy, you will appreciate the charm of the barren academy." ”

"Hmm!" Mo Xuan nodded heavily, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Let's go, let's go to the academy. You've been gone for a day, you should be tired, I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you later, you can wash up and rest, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow. Gu Qiuyi said.

"Well, thank you, Dean. Mo Xuan thanked him.

Gu Qiu smiled and nodded slightly, and walked in the direction of the academy.

Airplanes!

However, just as Gu Qiuyi had just left, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the space of this desert. The buzzing sound came out, and before Mo Xuan could react, the ground suddenly shook, and the shaking was very rapid, but it only lasted for a moment, and then disappeared.

"Damn, why did he come out to make trouble again, isn't it yet the night of the blood moon?" As soon as the tremor subsided, Gu Qiu looked at the north and muttered in a low voice.

Although Gu Qiuyi's voice was soft, Mo Xuan still heard it in his ears, and asked suspiciously, "Dean, what are you talking about?"

Gu Qiu glanced at Mo Xuan, but didn't answer, pointed to the end of the avenue in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Xuanying, I have some things to deal with, so you can go to the academy by yourself." You take my belt card and walk along this avenue to the end, where there is a gray-haired janitor, and you give him the waist card, and say that I will arrange for you to go to the West District, and that man will naturally lead you to your place of residence. ”

As he spoke, Gu Qiu shook his palm, and a sticker waist card appeared out of thin air, and the center of the waist card was clearly engraved with the huge word "wild".

Mo Xuan took the waist card and was about to ask, but Gu Qiuyi dodged directly and disappeared. And at the moment when Gu Qiuyi left, hundreds of figures jumped out of the sky above the academy in the distance, rushing towards the north without stopping.

"It's such a strange place, even people are so weird. Mo Xuan glanced in the direction of the Barren Academy, and then at the waist card in his hand, his face full of doubts. "Forget it, let's go to the academy to find a place to live first, it's much more tiring to travel in this desert than outside. ”

Mo Xuan touched his waist card, stepped on the avenue, and walked directly towards the end.
