Mo Xuan and the others traveled all the way south, and after walking not far, the fine sandy ground under their feet gradually disappeared and was replaced by a bluestone street. After walking a hundred meters further, houses appeared on both sides of the street, and the houses were neatly arranged along the street, presumably where the original residents of Dancheng lived.

"Well, that's right, this is definitely the ruins of Dancheng. It seems that with the protection of the desert, Dan City has not been damaged, otherwise these houses would not be so unharmed. Walking to a house, with the help of the luminous stone, the tenth concubine looked at the blackened wooden door and said softly.

Mo Xuan also nodded and said, "That's true, the desert above here is indeed protecting this place in disguise. However, the strange thing is that the city here has not been buried by fine sand, and it is estimated that some kind of seal must have been applied to the outside of this Dancheng city. ”

"The Dan clan used to be a big clan, and the defense capability of Dan City is definitely not weak. Although the Dan tribe was destroyed later, the enemy did not destroy the defense array of the Dan city after looting the property of the Dan tribe, perhaps it was the existence of that large array that the desert outside did not flow here. The tenth concubine explained.

"That's how it should be. Mo Xuan also agreed with the tenth concubine's statement, and immediately raised his eyes to the end of the dark street, and said: "Since this is Dancheng, then the end of this street should be the city lord's mansion, if there is really any information about the 'thunder robin' here, then it can only be there." Let's hurry up and search. ”

"Well, good. ”

As he spoke, both of them quickened their pace and sped towards the end of the street.

Because the street was extremely open and unobstructed, the two of them galloped for more than ten minutes before entering the city lord's mansion. The two of them held luminous stones, and they could see the majestic atmosphere of the mansion through the fluorescence, but the pillars and plaques in front of the mansion were scattered around, thinking that they should have been committed by foreign enemies many years ago.

The two walked into the mansion, led by the ten concubines, and walked directly towards the west palace. Mo Xuan knew that the tenth concubine was familiar with this place, so he had no opinion at all, and followed directly.

After a short time, the two walked into a large two-story attic, and after lighting the candlestick, Mo Xuan realized that this was a book pavilion, and the interior was neatly filled with bookshelves.

"Is this the library in Dancheng?Are you looking for clues here?" Picking up an ancient book covered with dust, Mo Xuan blew lightly, and the dust flew all over the sky.

"The Dan were the big tribe in this neighborhood back then, and if there was a 'thunder robin' here, then the Dan would definitely have a record, and this is the place where the record is most likely to be recorded. The tenth concubine nodded and said, while constantly flipping through the bookshelves, not caring about the dust on it.

"But where do we start? We can't go through one book after another. Mo Xuan looked at it, and also walked over, ready to help.

"Look for 'Chronicles' or 'Records', the Thunder Robin is a mythical beast, and it cannot be recorded in ordinary books, but can only appear in local Chronicles and Records. The tenth concubine thought for a while and said.

"Understood, then you can look for it here, and I'll go over there and have a look. Mo Xuan nodded, and after saying a word, he walked towards the bookshelf opposite.

In the huge library, the two of them were silent, and they were quietly reading carefully on the various bookshelves. Mo Xuan searched bookshelves after bookshelf, but after searching for a long time, he still didn't find a trace of news about Thunder Robin.

"Did you find anything there?" After a long search, Mo Xuan came over and asked.

"Didn't find it. The tenth concubine shook her head, a little disappointed in her tone.

Mo Xuan saw it and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that we are looking in the wrong direction?" Could it be that the Dan clan didn't find any trace of the thunder robin at all back then?"

The tenth concubine's eyes turned slightly, shook her head and said: "This is unlikely, the Dan clan was at its peak a thousand years ago, and since there were thunder robins here at that time, then the Dan clan will definitely have records." But strangely, not only is there no record of the thunderbolt here, but there is not even a record of the great battle of that year. ”

"Could it be that they have also hidden it?" Mo Xuan asked.

"It's possible, but if that's the case, then it's hard for us to find it, this Dan City is so big, if they really want to hide some secrets, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Looking at the ten concubines' somewhat lost expressions, Mo Xuan thought for a while, and comforted: "Actually, there is nothing to find clues, isn't it the night of the blood moon in three days, if there is really a sealed thunder robin under this desert, then something strange will definitely happen after three days, and then we will go to investigate, isn't it better!"

"That's all there is to it. The tenth concubine nodded.

Saying that, the two were willing to give up, and searched carefully in the library pavilion, but still found no clues, so they had to give up and prepare to return.

Airplanes!

Just as the two of them put down the books in their hands and were about to leave the library pavilion, directly south of the city lord's mansion, there was a sudden humming sound, which was extremely slight, like the movement of the source qi energy explosion.

The tenth concubine fixed her eyes on the dark south, and after feeling it for a moment, she frowned and said, "This energy fluctuation is very strong, even ordinary martial artists are afraid that it can't be compared." ”

"So, this movement was caused by Wu Zong?" Mo Xuan hurriedly asked, and at the same time, thoughts flew in his mind, he was very curious, in this place, could there be other masters who also came in?

"Even if it's not a martial artist, it's not much weaker. The tenth concubine carefully perceived, and after a little hesitation, said: "But to be able to burst out such a huge amount of source qi energy under this ground, I think I should have encountered something, let's go over and take a look, maybe we can find some unexpected secrets." ”

With that, the tenth concubine prepared to leave the library and go to the place where the energy exploded.

"Are you sure?That's Wu Zong, if we are discovered, our little life will be gone?" Mo Xuan dodged to stop the tenth concubine and explained softly, his words were very cautious, but what he said was indeed reasonable, in case that person did evil, it would be really bad.

"Also, it is dangerous to rush to investigate. After thinking about it, the tenth concubine felt that what Mo Xuan said was indeed reasonable, and immediately dispelled the idea of going to investigate. "In that case, let's get out of here, although the journey has been smooth, I always feel a gloomy aura around me. ”

"Good. ”

Mo Xuan nodded, so the two of them walked out of the library pavilion side by side, returned along the same path, and left the Dan City buried underground.

And just after Mo Xuan and the others left the library pavilion, on the roof of the attic, a figure suddenly appeared, and the person watched Mo Xuan leave, and then his eyes were on the place where the source energy fluctuated before.

"That energy should be owned by the Martial Sect, hey, I didn't expect that there were still people hiding here to cultivate in this deserted Dan City, which is a bit interesting. The man whispered, and when he looked closer, he was one of the six who had followed Mo Xuan and the others before.

"But although the energy fluctuation is a little strong, but it is unstable, I guess it has just broken through, if it wasn't for the mission, I really want to go. ”

"And listening to what the kid said, they are here to find the information of the Thunder Robin, it seems that they should have found something in the Desolate Academy, and what the young patriarch said is indeed right, the source beast Thunder Robin is really collected by the Desolate Academy. However, listening to the tone of the two of them, it should be necessary to wait until the night of the blood moon to continue the investigation, so it seems that they should choose to return to the Desolate Academy during this time. ”

"Well, yes, yes, since the two of them chose to return to the Barren Academy, then there is no need for me to follow them, take this opportunity, I'd better go and see who that person is. ”

Rubbing his palms, he kept thinking in a low voice, and suddenly with a slap of his palm, a laugh came from under the wide black robe, and then he turned into a black shadow and went straight to the place where the source qi energy fluctuated.

The speed of the bottle was extremely fast, and it only took a few minutes to reach the destination of the old wooden house. Hiding in the darkness, he raised his eyes to look into the wooden house, and through the faint candle flame, he could clearly see the two teenagers in the room, these two teenagers did not know each other, but if the teachers and students of the Desolate Academy were here, they would definitely be able to recognize them at a glance, because these two were Lile and Chu Xiu.

Lile sat cross-legged on the ground, his body rippled with a gentle gray source qi, and the gray source qi was mixed with a little white light, but under Lile's luck breathing, the white light slowly dissipated, and it didn't take long for it to turn into gray source qi.

And this light gray source qi is the representative of the Martial Sect.

"Congratulations, Brother Lile, you finally stepped into the Martial Sect one step ahead of me, this time, I lost. On the side, Chu Xiu held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand and said in a deep voice, but his words were full of joy.

"I really have to thank you for being able to break through the Martial Sect, if it weren't for your final blow, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to comprehend what it means to die and live. Lile stood up, smiling and grateful, if it weren't for Chu Xiu's previous mention of the Three Lions Strangulation, he really wouldn't have been able to comprehend it so quickly.

"Either way, this time I lost. But don't worry, even if you step into the Martial Sect, I will not be afraid, at the latest half a year, I will definitely break through the Martial Sect in half a year, and then I will come to you again. "Put Fang Tian's halberd on his shoulder, Chu Xiu said seriously.

"Hehe, no problem, you're always welcome to come. Lile smiled, thought about it, and said: "With your ability, it will be no problem to suddenly come to the Martial Sect within half a year, but Brother Chu, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, now that both of us have graduated, the life of the academy has long been far away from me, where should you go next?"

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows, sat on a broken bench, and said, "If you don't say it, I will also ask, this is the reason why I came back to look for you." ”

"Oh, what do you think?" asked Lile.

Chu Xiu said: "Brother Le, I won't tell you, I didn't go out for the purpose of cultivation this time, but took the opportunity to go south to look at the outside world. You and I are also considered genius-level in this barren academy, even if they are placed in the entire Mobei, they can be ranked high, but since I entered those big clans in the south, and after knowing some of what they have done, I know how small we are. ”

When Lile heard this, he was also interested, and asked, "Oh, I wonder what Brother Chu saw, and it would make you feel so emotional?"

Chu Xiu's expression changed and he asked, "Brother Le, before answering your question, let me ask you a question." The Li clan you belong to is also a big clan in this desert north, and the Li clan also has exchanges with other big clans, I don't know what you think of them?"

"What do you think?" asked Lile.

Chu Xiu said: "The development of this aspect, or the view of the future. ”

"If you talk about development, the current major ethnic groups were relatively harmonious before, and they all had good cooperation in terms of resources and manpower, which can be regarded as relatively stable. Rele replied.

Chu Xiu asked again: "Then I don't know if Brother Le has any views on the future of the Li clan?"

Lile smiled, did not answer, and continued: "Brother Chu has this question, then it seems that there must be great insights in this trip to the south, before I answer your question, I also ask Brother Chu to talk about what he has seen and heard about this trip." ”

Chu Xiu didn't shirk it, and said, "I won't tell you, I did see a lot of different things when I went out this time. The two of us have been staying in this Mobei for many years, and in our imagination, we will also think that those big clans in the south are no different from these big clans in Mobei. But after I went, I realized that the great tribes of the south were far more far-sighted than we did. Brother Le, do you know what those big clans are doing now?"

"What?" Lile asked casually, but there was a fire in his eyes.

"Annexation, expansion. ”

"Annexation, expansion?" Lile pretended not to understand, and asked, "What are they doing with annexation and expansion?

Chu Xiu said: "Brother Le, this is where you are ignorant. You won't know what era it is now, the royal family is just an ornament, the laws set by the Spirit King back then have long been unbinding, and now in the entire continent, I am afraid that only Mobei is still ignorant and observant, and those big clans are actively starting the annexation and expansion plan. You may not believe it, I think that in the next ten years, the mainland will definitely change drastically, the small and weak clans will be annihilated, and the big and strong clans will be even stronger. ”

Lile listened carefully, then shook his head slightly, and said, "Brother Chu's words, I'm afraid it's a bit too much." ”

"Brother Le, I'm not alarmist, if you don't believe it, I suggest that you leave tomorrow to go to the south or the west to have a look, and then you will definitely believe what I say. Chu Xiu said.

Lile nodded slightly, looked at Chu Xiu, and asked, "Brother Chu, don't talk about that, what do you mean by saying this to me?" I don't believe you said it casually. ”

Chu Xiu looked directly at Lile, his face was serious, and he said, "I am telling you this because I want to join forces with you. ”

"Join forces?" Lile smiled, looked at Chu Xiu, and asked, "What are you doing together?"

Chu Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Rectify Mobei and wait for the opportunity to go south." ”
