Section 248 Sea of Quicksand
"Engong...... Not a local?"
Facing Han Le's doubts, Xue Nuo showed a look of surprise.
Although when Old Xue Tou brought Han Le back, they knew that this guy was unknown, but in fact, there were only a handful of people in the entire Sword Mountain world who could kill so many Xuenuwei in a few clicks.
They all guessed that Han Le was a master of the quicksand sea.
But the problem is that even people in the sea of quicksand would not ask such questions.
Old Xue Tou didn't make such a fuss, and he began to explain to Han Le patiently.
"All babies under the jurisdiction of Meikenzan must be sent to Daisetsuzan for examination immediately after birth. ”
According to the Lord of the Famous Sword Mountain, these babies will go through the so-called baptism, and after the baptism, only those who can survive are worthy to become his people. ”
"But many babies are sent to the snowy mountains and never come back. ”
There was a hint of gloom in Old Xue Tou's voice.
Han Le keenly captured this.
Xue Nuo's wife had a sad face.
Xue Nuo sighed and said, "Our first child, a son, was sent to the Great Snow Mountain, and he never came back. ”
"According to rumors, it should have been killed, or...... Didn't survive the so-called baptism. ”
"This is our second child, a girl, and we don't dare to let anyone know about her existence...... But...... Ay. ”
Han Le nodded.
It seems that in this so-called world of Mingjian Mountain, the people are also living in dire straits.
In Lao Xuetou's mouth, Han Le has a certain understanding of this world.
Unlike the Great Wilderness Forest, Mingjian Mountain is actually not big.
Except for the quicksand sea, all areas are under the jurisdiction of Liu Kui, the lord of the Famous Sword Mountain, and the snow slave guards under his command are haunting, extremely numerous, and equipped with sophisticated armor, ordinary people are not their opponents at all.
Martial arts are forbidden to circulate here, and musicians are subject to the laws of the world, and they are no different from ordinary people.
There is such a rumor that the so-called world of Mingjian Mountain is actually a prison used to hold musicians.
And these people are just the descendants of those musicians.
Liu Kui is brutal and murderous, but almost no one in this world can resist his rule.
His Xuenowei is a killing machine cultivated through secret methods, and only obeys his orders.
Under this repressive rule, no one dared to say anything more.
In particular, the residents around Muzhen live a life of fear every day.
The only good news is that the products in this world are still very rich, and most people can support themselves, plus there is only one person in Liu Kui, and there are not as many people who can harm as imagined.
The only thing that makes people unacceptable is the baptism of children.
Han Le listened to Old Xue Tou's complaints, and gradually had some guesses.
Obviously, this so-called tyrant Liu Kui is the caretaker of this layer.
Liu Kui is very old, and his cultivation is enough to have a Great Dao Grandmaster, but in this world, there are only a few martial artists at the level of a Great Dao Grandmaster.
Coupled with the fact that he has the authority to be a caretaker, even if those people join forces, they may not necessarily destroy him.
Liu Kui is said to have been bullied by musicians when he was a child, so he hated musicians the most, and under his rule, musicians were bound to be treated the most cruelly.
Many musicians are regularly summoned to the snowy mountains to undergo so-called baptism.
After each baptism, some musicians were either disabled or dead.
No one knows what baptism really is.
The only thing that is clear is that this world is a hell for musicians.
Han Le looked at the child in Xue Nuo's wife's arms, and gradually came to some realization.
"This kid is obviously qualified to be a musician. ”
"Is it not necessary that he obliterates the possibility of a baby becoming a musician at the time of birth? ”
Han Le fell into deep thought: "This world is very unfriendly to musicians, even if you have outstanding soul power, it is unlikely that you can become a musician, right?"
Thinking of this, Han Le couldn't help but glance at Old Xue Tou.
The latter grinned, still looking warm and loyal.
Xue Nuo rubbed his hands nervously, as if he wanted to say something.
Han Le suddenly smiled and said, "I underestimate you, you used to be a musician, right? ”
Xue Nuo and his wife were stunned, not knowing what Han Le was talking about.
Only a trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of the old Xue Tou:
"Your Excellency, you're really good. It's just that the old decay is not deliberately concealed. ”
Han Le nodded.
Old Xue Tou did not deliberately conceal it.
Compared with those two young people, the old man's attitude towards himself, from the beginning to the present, has actually maintained a relatively neither humble nor arrogant state.
Xue Nuo thought that his father was old and confused, and brought Han Le home, but in fact, Old Xue Tou had already seen Han Le's extraordinary.
Of course, Han Le's strength was beyond Lao Xue Tou's imagination.
According to Lao Xue Tou, generally speaking, a person who has such a powerful soul power but is still alive and well in the world of Mingjian Mountain must be the strongest of the strong.
That's why he found a way to invite Han Le home, and it was just right that the crisis came.
"Actually, I just have some guesses and some attempts. Old Xue Tou explained: "I didn't mean to cause trouble for Your Excellency. ”
Han Le nodded.
In fact, he had long felt that Old Xue Tou was different. The other party wanted to use his own strength to fight against Xuenuwei, and Han Le didn't mind.
What he cares about is more news about Mingjian Mountain.
Under Han Le's questioning gaze, Lao Xue Tou finally said those things back then.
When Lao Xue Tou was young, he was also a very good musician in Yunzhou.
It's just that when composing the war song, he committed some kind of taboo and was judged to be a demon, and he was arrested with his wife and sent to Mingjian Mountain.
In the world of Famous Sword Mountain, his wife died very early, leaving Xue Nuo behind. Old Xue Tou experienced unimaginable torture on the snowy mountain, and finally survived.
He turned into an ordinary herdsman, raised his son, and married him a daughter-in-law.
It's just that when the first child landed, he had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, the child went to the Great Snow Mountain and never came back.
"Actually, even if you don't show up, old man, I'm ready to leave. ”
Old Xue Tou sighed and said, "Liu Kui's viciousness is not something ordinary people can imagine. ”
"The so-called baptism is actually mountaineering!"
Mountaineering?
Han Le was a little puzzled.
"It's to climb the famous Sword Mountain. On the Famous Sword Mountain, there are countless divine sword intents, and these sword intents will cause great harm to the brains of our musicians. ”
"The stronger the musician, the more hurt the musician will be. The so-called baptism is to let the Xuenuwei take the baby on the mountain trail. ”
"Pity my grandson, he must not have survived. You know, when the old man and I were on the mountain road, I was almost torn to pieces by those sword intents, and it took a long time to recover some memories. ”
There was hatred in Old Xuetou's eyes.
Mingjian Mountain's approach is very rude.
Those sword intents are specifically aimed at people with strong soul power.
Among the babies, those with outstanding soul power will also be targeted by these sword intents, and if they survive, they will wear off their soul power and become a muddy mortal;
And Liu Kui regularly summons musicians to experience baptism.
Over the years, the musicians of the entire Famous Sword Mountain have almost been played to death by Liu Kui.
He began to think about cutting off the descendants of musicians.
According to Lao Xuetou's plan, if they didn't meet Han Le, they would have to move their families within three days at most.
It's just that he didn't expect that Wang Si would bring Xue Nuwei so quickly. If it weren't for Han Le, they really wouldn't be able to leave.
......
"I see. No wonder you have to hide your children. ”
Han Le finally understood the ins and outs.
With the lessons of the past, of course they don't want this daughter to die on the snowy mountain.
It's just that according to Lao Xue Tou, this Sword Mountain World is all within the control of Xuenuwei, if they want to relocate, where can they go?
"A sea of quicksand. We are going to go to the quicksand sea to find an oasis. ”
Old Xue Tou explained: "Xuenuwei came too quickly, and we didn't have time to sell our property. ”
"My lord, you killed these Xuenuwei to relieve the time a little, but tomorrow Xiaonuo will have to sell everything he can and buy a carriage and something. We'll have to leave tomorrow night. ”
A sea of quicksand.
If there is one peaceful place in the world of Mingjian Mountain, it is the sea of quicksand with an extremely harsh environment.
According to Han Le's understanding, it was difficult for him to imagine why there were a large number of deserts near such a rich grassland.
With the frost river as the boundary, the prairie and the quicksand sea are distinct.
The quicksand sea is the territory of Xiao Yue, the little sword god.
There, there were a large number of people who were dissatisfied with Liu Kui, and there were also many ordinary people who couldn't stand Liu Kui's rule.
It is said that they are distributed among large and small oases, and although their supplies are a little tight, they can at least survive and live relatively freely.
According to Lao Xue Tou's statement, even if it is Xue Nuwei, he has to be afraid of the Frost River.
After all, the little sword god is a rare avenue master in this world, and he can compete with Liu Kui a little.
But that's not all.
Every year many people flee the savannah, but many die in the desert.
Not everyone can find an oasis, the desert is so big, people who are used to living in the grassland, can easily be overwhelmed by sudden wind and sand.
Not to mention the elusive Snow Guards near the Frostfall River.
If you want to go to the sea of quicksand, you have to risk your life.
But Lao Xuetou's family of three has no way out.
Han Le killed Xue Nuwei, and they couldn't escape from it. What's more, it was impossible for them to hand over the child to Xuenuwei again.
"That quicksand sea, what's the interesting news?"
Han Le thought about it, although Lao Xue Tou and his party were going to the quicksand sea to join the so-called Little Sword God, these seemed to have nothing to do with him.
What he had a headache was that he couldn't perceive the specific location of the Pinghuang Heavenly Book.
This requires a well-informed place.
At the moment, Wood Town is the best choice, and the so-called quicksand sea, God knows how long he will hang around in the desert, it is too ethereal.
If nothing else, he will part ways with Lao Xue Tou and them.
After all, he has no obligation to protect them.
Lao Xue Tou is also a human spirit, knowing that Han Le inquired about Mu Zhen before, he guessed Han Le's thoughts to some extent.
He thought about it for a moment and said with a wry smile: "There is no news, the quicksand sea has always been quite chaotic, although it is free, but it is full of dangers." ”
"But for us, it's better than waiting here to die. ”
"I also have a few old friends, and if I really find an oasis, it shouldn't be a big problem to survive, mainly for the sake of my children. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Nuo's wife's eyes were moist.
She hugged her daughter tightly, for fear that someone would snatch her.
"That's it, I'll go to Wood Town early tomorrow morning. Be careful, too. ”
Han Le dragged Xue Nuwei's corpse aside, and with a casual slap, the small dirt slope was blown apart, and these corpses were completely covered underneath.
Such a simple and crude method of destroying corpses and destroying traces made the three of them tremble.
But this is no longer their home anyway, and what Han Le does has nothing to do with them.
Early the next morning, Xue Nuo drove the sheep and the rest of the cattle to a trustworthy farmer and returned with two horses.
A family of three also packed their things quickly.
In the evening, when they had all their belongings done, they put them on a wagon and an ox-cart, and set off for the east at night.
Han Le said goodbye to them.
Xue Nuo handed the blueprint he got from his friend's house to Han Le: "This is a rough map, you can go to Muzhen." Adults be careful all the way. ”
"By the way, I heard that because of the birth of the treasure recently, a large number of snow slave guards were sent to the east from the wood town. Although the adults are extraordinary in martial arts, they are hard to beat with two fists and four hands. In the Xuenuwei, it is said that there are also very powerful characters. ”
Han Le took the drawing, glanced at it, and put it away.
"What is the treasure?" Han Le asked casually.
Xue Nuo tilted his head and thought for a moment:
"I don't know, I heard it's a door. ”
"A bronze door. ”
In an instant, Han Le stood still.
"Where is the bronze door?" Han Le only felt that his hair was standing upside down, and he suddenly had a strange feeling.
Xue Nuo groaned:
"It seems to be east of Muzhen, where it meets the quicksand sea. I don't know the specific news, but it may also be in the sea of quicksand, after all, if there is a treasure on the prairie, it will have been dug up by the Xuenuwei long ago. ”
Han Le pondered carefully for three seconds, and under the surprised gazes of Xue Nuo and the others, he slowly walked towards the carriage.
"Take me one. ”
Xue Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed!
"Let's go. Han Le said lightly: "Since I am on the way, I will give you a ride." ”
"By the way, old Xue Tou, you said you have friends in the Quicksand Sea?"
Old Xue Tou nodded, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes:
"That was a friend from many years ago. His status in the Quicksand Sea should already be very high. ”
Han Le said firmly:
"When I get to the sea of quicksand, I want to find the clue to the so-called treasure. ”
The bronze door appeared, is it the same as the bronze door in Han Le's memory?
Why did the bronze gate of Yunzhou appear in the small string realm?
Han Le had a strong premonition in his heart.
This bronze gate is the one that dissipates on the surface of the East China Sea.
Famous Sword Mountain, Xuenuwei, Quicksand Sea, Bronze Gate......
"Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. ”
......
