Seeing that the monk of Kongyou said this, the two glanced at each other and stopped arguing.

"Then the great monk of Kongyou, where are we going?" Xu Tianjing felt that what he said just now was a bit excessive, so he asked the monk of Kongyou.

"There is a war on the eastern outskirts of the Central Plains, and the two sides must be heavily guarded by the whole line, so we took a detour and returned to the Central Plains from the South China Sea. ”

"How long does it take to walk, this night, everything is similar all around, can you find the way?" Tang Fan of the Poison Gate finally opened his mouth, "

"It's at night that you can tell the way," the monk pointed to the sky, "There are things on it that guide the way." ”

"Yo! I can't see that the master of the air tour is still watching the sky. Gongsun smiled lightly, and it was even more lively to liven the atmosphere.

"As you go, as long as you take care of your disciples and your temper, and don't quarrel anymore, you will be in the South China Sea within two days!" said the monk without looking back, as he walked in front.

Everyone nodded, looked at each other, and continued on their way without saying a word.

"You, send someone to Beiyuan City, and hand over this letter to the owner of Tianluo Zhuang Tianyu Qingzhuang, as soon as possible. Xingji handed the letter she had just written into the hands of the border officer.

The officer took the letter and immediately responded: "My subordinates will send people to rush to Beiyuan City as soon as possible!"

Xing Ji thought for a while, stopped him, and said, "Wait, if the owner asks where the person who wrote the letter is, you will say that I am going to rest at the border gate for a day, and then I will go back on my own." ”

The officer was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and asked, "Then do you want to prepare a tent for the adults to rest alone?"

"No, you just do what I say, and don't worry about the rest. ”

"Yes!" the officer received the order and withdrew from the camp.

Xingji sat inside and did not get up immediately, but kept thinking in his mind, where would the group of people in the Central Plains go - the most dangerous time in the desert is not in the daytime, but at night, even if they don't want to die, it is impossible to travel long in the night, if you want to track their whereabouts, tonight is the best time, at this moment, the footprints are not scattered, if I go to the direction of the South China Sea, I will definitely be able to find it, even if I guess wrong, tomorrow the letter will go to the north of the far city, and the owner of the village will send people to the north, I can also find it. ”

After thinking about it, Xingji got up and put away the chair and left the camp at the pass.

The desert night was surprisingly cold, and the cold felt like it had pierced into the bones. Some of the younger apprentices could still withstand the scorching sun in the morning, but now they were so cold that they were struggling, and they were shivering with cold.

"Great monk, I don't think it's okay to go on like this, let alone these little disciples, even I can't resist it. Xu Tianjing said.

"Just you have a lot to do!" Gongsun Qian said, looking at his several apprentices, all of whom were so cold that their mouths turned purple.

"You see that your disciples are all like frosted eggplants," Xu Tianjing pursed his lips and said, "It's not that I said anything depressing, the Central Plains is going back, but life is even more important, don't be caught up by Tianluozhuang, we ourselves will freeze to death in this place where birds don't." ”

"There is some truth in what Master Xu said," Du Xilou affirmed, "but there is one thing I haven't figured out, why would Tianluozhuang send someone to chase us when I see it?"

"How long have we been in the northern city of the Horse Country?" asked the monk slowly.

"To say the least, there is half a year. ”

"That's it, we've been here for half a year, and most of the people who live with us in the Wanpeng Inn have joined the army of Ma Siguo, if we just flee like this, do you think they will be afraid that we will report to the imperial court with what we have seen in the past six months, in exchange for the life of the lord of the Chen League?" Gongsun Qian seemed to see it very thoroughly, "And they don't know what we have heard or seen in Beiyuan City in the past six months, what if there are any military planes in it?" If we are chased by Tianluozhuang, even if we don't fight to the death, we will be under house arrest until the end of the war-"

"So, since everyone has come out, don't dwell on these things," the monk said bluntly without waiting for others to intervene, "Let's focus on the present, it's really not a way to travel like this, it's almost impossible to meet any deserted villages and wild shops here, so let's see if there is any sheltered place for us to rest overnight, presumably the people of Tianluozhuang won't find us so quickly." ”

"Isn't the head of Dashi's Du Xilou able to set up an enchantment, I really can't find it, although it's small, but it's okay to set up an enchantment for us to squeeze in for a night. Tang Fan proposed.

Du Xilou also nodded: "If there is really no way, there is only that." ”

"Then I'll make another half-pillar of incense," the monk asked the little disciples, "can you still hold on?"

"Yes—" replied weakly.

Chen Yin listened to the old man talk about his father, and he was already fascinated, as if he had also experienced it together. The man who has always existed in his fantasies has never been more vivid than at this moment.

"You behave like your father. The old man finally finished speaking softly.

Chen Yin shook his head: "I'm not as good as my father, he can give up a small family for the world, but I can't." ”

"Not exactly—" said the old man, "what your father did, or what we did at the time, was not necessarily good for the world. ”
