Sitting cross-legged on the bench, Mo Xuan controlled the source qi in his body, continuously instilled it into Shen Jia, and controlled it at around twenty catties.

Due to this period of time, Mo Xuan always played Shen Jia from time to time, so he also had some improvement in the manipulation of the source qi, although he couldn't do what he wanted for the time being, but it was relatively rare to be able to keep the source qi uninterrupted.

"Hmm...!"

About an hour later, Mo Xuan, who was cultivating, suddenly heard a slight moan, opened his eyes, and saw that the strange girl suddenly moved, probably about to wake up.

"Well, where is this?" the girl rubbed her head and slowly got up.

"You're awake!" Mo Xuanxin asked with a smile while controlling the source qi into Shen Jia. "How's it going? I've slept for so long, are you hungry?"

Hearing someone speak, the girl was startled, looked at Mo Xuan, and hurriedly leaned against the wall, asking with a frightened face, "Who are you? Why am I here?"

"Don't be afraid, this is the inn. We met you in the desert and you were caught in the quicksand, so we rescued you, but you were unconscious, and I didn't know where your home was, so I brought you here. Mo Xuan said with a smile.

The girl's eyes swept over Mo Xuan's face, and then glanced at the girl resting on the bed next to her, so she also let down her guard slightly. Thinking back, it seems that they did encounter quicksand in the desert before, and it seems that these two people should have saved themselves, and that is the benefactor.

Thinking of this, the girl was completely wary, and a full of gratitude appeared.

"You saved me?" the girl whispered.

"Well, I happened to be passing by. ”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw the clothes on Mo Xuan's body, her expression was even more happy, she pulled open the futon blocking her chest, walked over, and asked, "You are a student of the Barren Academy, right?"

At this time, Mo Xuan really saw the whole picture of the girl. She is green silk to her shoulders, her body is light and petite, her jade face is delicate and ruddy, especially the dark smile that blinks under the eyebrows, which makes people can't help but be fascinated.

The beauty of this woman also made Mo Xuan obsessed for a while, but Mo Xuan was not a drunkard, and he quickly suppressed the initial desire in his heart.

Looking at the girl's joyful face, Mo Xuan asked softly, "How do you know about the Barren Academy?"

"Of course I know, but I haven't been there, but my brother is in your academy, and I'm here to find him this time. The girl's voice was soft.

"Your brother?" Mo Xuan controlled the source qi, looked at the girl suspiciously, and asked, "What's your brother's name?"

"Lile!" the girl said with a smile, unscrupulous.

"Lile?" Mo Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "I really haven't heard of this name, it seems that I can't help you." ”

"I know you can't help me with anything, but when you go back to the academy tomorrow, can you take me with you?" The girl looked straight at Mo Xuan, full of anticipation.

"But we're not going back to the academy for the time being. Mo Xuan said.

"And when are you going back?"

"I can't say it, maybe in three or five days. ”

"It's been so long, forget it, I'll go by myself tomorrow. "The girl was a little disappointed.

Mo Xuan looked at it, his mind turned around, and asked, "What are you looking for your brother?" I see that you are not very old, if there is nothing to do, don't go, it is very dangerous for you to cross the desert alone. ”

"If you don't go, my brother said that I have something to do when I go back to the academy, but I always feel that it is not a good thing, so I have to go to him and come back. The girl said.

"Didn't he say what he was going to do?" Mo Xuan asked.

The girl shook her head and said, "I didn't say it, but he hasn't returned to the academy for many years, and he has offended the people in the academy, so there must be something bad going back for him this time." ”

"Someone who offended the academy? Mo Xuan thought in his heart, rolled his eyes, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, since your brother dares to go back to the academy, then his ability must be very powerful, so you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Hearing Mo Xuan say this, the girl suddenly smiled, with arrogance in her eyes, and said: "Of course, my brother is the most powerful person in the clan, although he is not very old, but when it comes to cultivation, my father can't compare to him." ”

"That's amazing. Mo Xuan answered the words of appreciation, his brain moved, and asked: "By the way, listen to what you mean, your home should not be far from here, but you come out alone, aren't your parents worried?"

"Hee-hee, I actually sneaked out, Daddy doesn't know about it, but Daddy will definitely send someone to arrest me back, so I can't stay here for too long, I have to go to the Deserted Academy as soon as possible. The girl said.

Mo Xuan looked at the girl's serious face, and said: "Actually, you don't have to go to the academy to find it, when I came out just now, I heard that there was a senior who returned to the academy and then left, I think that person should be your brother, maybe he has gone home now, and it will be in vain for you to go to the academy to find it now." ”

"Really, my brother has left the Deserted Academy, don't lie to me. The girl looked at Mo Xuan suspiciously.

Mo Xuan smiled and said, "What am I lying to you about?" Although I also heard from others, I think that person should be your brother. ”

"If that's the case, my brother has really come home?" said the girl.

Mo Xuan nodded and said: "It should be home, so don't look for it, it's better to go back and wait early, in case your brother goes back and you are in this desert, isn't it missed!"

"Well, then I'll go home at dawn. The girl grinned, very sweet. "Brother, you are a good person, what is your name?"

"My name is Xuanying, what about you. Mo Xuan said.

"My name is Liqing. Brother Xuanying, you see that you saved my life before, and now you have helped me, I don't know how to thank you, otherwise, I invite you to my house as a guest, okay? I asked Daddy to thank you well!"

Mo Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need, saving you is just a gesture, no need to thank you." And we still have work to do, and we can't afford to lose time. ”

"My house is very close to here, so it won't take much time, and if you travel with a caravan, it will only take an hour. Brother Xuanying, what do you think?" said Liqing.

"This..."Mo Xuan hesitated.

"Since Miss Liqing invited her, how can you refuse, and it's not safe to let Miss Li go back alone, since you saved her, then be a good person to the end." At this moment, the tenth concubine woke up.

Hearing what the tenth concubine said, Liqing smiled happily, and hurriedly nodded: "That's it, this sister is right, Brother Xuanying, since you saved me, then be a good person to the end, and my father must welcome you to be a guest." ”

"What is her idea, isn't she here to find 'Dancheng', why did she come here again, does she have other plans?" Mo Xuan thought to himself, glanced at the tenth concubine, and saw that the latter nodded slightly, so he agreed in confusion.

"Okay, since the little sister is invited, then we will go, and it is indeed a little uneasy to let you go back alone. ”

"Hee-hee, that's great, then let's leave at dawn. Liqing smiled happily, got up and sat next to the tenth concubine, and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"

"Little sister, you can just call me the tenth concubine. Looking at Liqing's innocent sweet smile, the tenth concubine also let go of her coldness and smiled softly.

"Sister Tenth Concubine, you are so good-looking, are you also a student of the Barren Academy?" asked Liqing.

"Yes. Hearing Liqing's pitiful words, the tenth concubine smiled, held the former's little hand, and said, "Little sister, I heard you say just now that you came here to find your brother, so aren't you afraid that you will come out alone?"

Li Qing shook her head with a smile, and said proudly: "I'm not afraid, none of the bad people here dare to touch me when they see me." ”

"Oh, really! I see that your age should be about thirteen years old, I didn't expect your source qi cultivation to be even more powerful than my sister, please pity my sister, you are really a genius girl." The tenth concubine looked at Liqing and praised her.

"My sister said with a smile, I haven't opened my heart yet, so where can I be a cultivation genius. Li Qing shook her head pitifully and said, but her words were extremely joyful.

"But didn't you say that no one dared to touch you, if your strength was not great, why didn't others dare to touch you?" the tenth concubine asked puzzled.

"It seems that she should be trying to ask for something from Li Qinglian. Mo Xuan thought in his heart, seeing the behavior of the tenth concubine at the moment, although he was a little confused, he also understood a little.

"Hehe, sister, you misunderstood, I said that no one dared to touch me not because I was powerful, but because my father was powerful, in this desert, no one dared to offend my father easily, so I said that no one dared to touch me. Li Qinglian explained.

"Oh, I see. The tenth concubine suddenly, her eyes rolled, and she asked, "Sister, since your family is a big family, you should be familiar with this part, right?"

Li Qinglian nodded and said: "Of course I am familiar, I grew up here, and every grass and tree here is the same as my friend, I am very familiar with it." ”

"Then sister, let me ask you, do you know that there is a Dan city near here? This city should have been destroyed by someone now, and it should not be too far from here. The tenth concubine asked again.

"Dancheng? Hey, this name seems familiar. Li Qinglian fell into deep thought, and after a pause, she nodded and said: "Oh, I remembered, I heard my uncle mention that there is an underground broken city on the other side of the ghost pit, and the name seems to be called Dancheng, but I don't know if it's the Dancheng you said." ”

The tenth concubine was overjoyed and asked, "Really? Do you know where the ghost pit is?"

"You know, it's in the southwest, just over a hundred miles away. Li Qinglian said casually, then looked at the tenth concubine, and asked: "Sister, why are you asking this? ”

"What's wrong? Can't you go?" asked the tenth concubine.

Li Qinglian said: "Sister, I advise you not to go, the ghost pit is very scary, there are many man-eating ghosts below, many people have not come back after going down, they must have been eaten by ghosts." Sister, it's better not to go. ”

"Is it so terrifying?" Hearing that there was a ghost, Mo Xuan instantly became interested, walked over, and said: "Sister Qing, this is probably a ghost story told by your family because they are afraid that you will run around, where are there ghosts in this world." ”

"There really are ghosts. Brother Xuanying, I saw a ghost last year, near the ghost pit, and my brother saw it at that time, but my brother didn't let me say it. But it's really a ghost, and it's a cannibal. Li Qing squeezed the tenth concubine and whispered.

"Really, your brother is too, have you all seen ghosts eating people?" Mo Xuan asked again.

"Well, it's true, I was so scared that I didn't dare to open my eyes while holding my brother. But my brother wasn't afraid, he had a fight with the ghost, and then the ghost said something to my brother, and I think he must have begged for mercy, and then my brother spared the ghost, and then we went home. Li Qinglian said.

"Sister Qing, are you sure that ghost spoke?" Mo Xuan frowned.

Li Qinglian nodded and said, "Of course, although that ghost knows the cry of 'woo', I know that it is talking." ”

Seeing Liqing's serious expression, Mo Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at the tenth concubine, and both nodded silently.

Mo Xuan said: "Sister Qinglian, you are familiar with this area after all, after dawn, how about we go to the ghost pit together?"

Li Qing shook her head pitifully and said, "I won't go, Brother Xuanying, there are really ghosts there, it's very scary." And my brother won't let me go to the ghost pit, if I go and my brother finds out, it will be bad. ”

Mo Xuan looked at the tenth concubine and saw the latter shaking his head, Mo Xuan said again: "Okay, since you can't go, then I won't let you go." But since you're familiar with this place, show me the way. ”

"Brother Xuanying, do you and your sister have to go to the ghost pit?" asked Liqing.

The tenth concubine said: "Sister, we are not going to the ghost pit, we are going to Dancheng." We have a friend who is sick and needs the Three Souls Qi Pill to save his life, and we heard that only Dancheng has a prescription for this pill, so we have to find it. ”

"Oh, I see. Li Qing nodded, her eyes blinked, and said, "Since my brother and sister are also here to save people, then I will definitely help." ”

Saying that, Liqing Lian took out a piece of brocade cloth from her arms, handed it to the tenth concubine, and said, "Sister, I promised my brother not to go to the ghost pit again, so I won't accompany you." This is a map of the desert with the location of the Ghost Pit. ”

The tenth concubine opened it, and after a simple search, she found that more than 100 miles southwest of the inn was the location of the ghost pit, and two hundred miles west of the ghost pit, there was a huge "li" character marked on it.
