Although Simba had never met Shi Chen, he had been wandering in China for ten years, so he had naturally heard about Ling Yu, and he also knew that Shi Chen was Ling Yu's best friend when he was in Shenwu Academy. In fact, as early as three days ago, Simba had already been out of the customs. Seeing that Ling Yu's cave entrance was still sealed, Simba was bored and went to the nearby big city for a walk. It was this careless wandering that made him know about the changes in the Western Desert. In fact, in today's Huaxia Continent, which force is not in harmony with which force, and which Immortal Venerable has descended on Huaxia, these news have long been common, so Simba doesn't care. However, when he heard that this accident appeared in Xiaolin Temple, Simba frowned slightly, and whispered to himself: "Xiaolin Temple, isn't it the teacher of the little monk who has a good relationship with Ling Yu?" Because of this, after inquiring about the news, Simba couldn't wait to find Ling Yu.

"What's wrong with Shichen?" Hearing Simba's words, Ling Yu was shocked. Although he was asking Simba about it, his thoughts flew back to ten years ago, back to the Shenwu Academy, back to the small courtyard where only the four of them lived. The Dharma of Liberation is profound, compassionate, what will happen?

"It's not that Shi Chen's accident happened, it's Xiaolin Temple's accident! I heard that the three giant scorpions sealed under Xiaolin Temple were originally suppressed by a magic lamp. That's right, it's the Seven Treasure Glass in your hand. Later, the Seven Treasures glass was stolen, and after several tosses, it fell into your hands. After the Seven Treasures were stolen, the giant scorpion escaped from the Xiaolin Temple. The predecessors of Kobayashi Temple transcend the Dharma every day, hoping to purify the evil thoughts of the giant scorpion and protect Kobayashi Temple with the power of sentient beings. But this time, the martial arts era opened, and Huaxia's spiritual power recovered, so that the three giant scorpions also gained cultivation. After they recovered, the first thing they did was to go to Kobayashi Temple for revenge. These three giant scorpions are ancient beasts, and their cultivation is boundless, in order to avoid the innocent people being affected, the abbot of Xiaolin Temple has evacuated the people within a radius of 100 miles. As for the monks of Xiaolin Temple, they are still waiting in Xiaolin Temple. It seems that they swore to live and die with Xiaolin Temple. ”

"Just half a moon ago, the three giant scorpions finally returned to Xiaolin Temple. They overturned the temple of Xiaolin Temple and smashed the statues of the gods in the temple, as if Shi Chen's master, that is, the abbot of Xiaolin Temple, was also seriously injured, and hundreds of monks in Xiaolin Temple had already died in the mouth of the scorpion. In desperation, Shi Chen's master, Master Juekong, could only ask for help from all regions of Huaxia. I heard that those friends of yours, Yi Han, You Long, Bu Yunzhu, Huang Shengtong, Duanmu Yuhan, An Luoyan, Murong Changfeng and others have already gone to Xiaolin Temple. Moreover, among the cultivators who went to the Western Desert this time, there were many Xinghai powerhouses, but I heard that they didn't want to go to help Xiaolin Temple, but more like they went to the Western Desert with an attitude of watching the excitement. The Xinghai powerhouses have ill intentions, I am worried that they will take advantage of the chaos in Xiaolin Temple to rob the fire, so I will tell you about this!" Simba recalled the news he had heard in the past few days and whispered to Ling Yu.

Hearing Simba's words, Ling Yu's brows furrowed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said to Simba: "Little lion, clean up, we will go to Xiaolin Temple now to help release dust!" Shi Chen is Ling Yu's best friend, the two have been together under the same roof for three years, and their relationship is deep, Ling Yu can't stand idly by.

The two packed their bags, didn't even eat breakfast, and embarked on the journey to the Western Desert. The location where the two of them are located is the intersection of the Southern Wilderness and Zhongzhou, and if you want to go to the Western Desert, you must use the teleportation array of Zhongzhou. Along the way, Ling Yu saw a lot of cultivators using the teleportation array to go to the Western Desert, their expressions were solemn, and they seemed to have the same purpose as Ling Yu and the others. However, the more they were like this, the more suspicious Ling Yu became. It stands to reason that whether it is Xiaolin Temple or the three giant scorpions, they are all just the grievances between Xiaolin Temple and the Ancient Giant Beasts, even if these cultivators want to watch the excitement, they will not be so anxious, right? Intuition told Ling Yu that this time the matter was definitely not as simple as Simba said. Although Xiaolin Temple has some fame in the Western Desert, it is not an amazing ancient temple, so the purpose of these people is not Xiaolin Temple. In this way, it seems that there is only one possibility left, they are going for the giant scorpion.

Ling Yu and the others ate and slept in the open without any delay. The reason why Ling Yu traveled day and night was because he was worried that Shi Chen would be injured by the three giant scorpions. In addition, the Seven Treasure Glaze in Ling Yu's hand is the treasure of Xiaolin Temple, as long as he can arrive in the Western Desert one day earlier, Xiaolin Temple's chances of winning will be one point more.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ling Yu specially put on a long-brimmed hat, and the black veil hanging from the hat covered Ling Yu's face. The two of them hurried non-stop, and after twenty-three days, they finally arrived at the boundary of the Western Desert. The two of them looked at the endless yellow sand in front of them, and a sense of insignificance rose in their hearts.

In front of the two of them, there is a giant stone tablet as high as three zhang, and two golden characters are written on the stone tablet: Ximo. Although the grass under Ling Yu's feet is still green, and it is only one step away from the boundary of the Western Desert, it is the distance of this step that divides the Western Desert and Zhongzhou into two worlds. Behind Ling Yu is the rich Zhongzhou, with towering mountains and abundant aura. In front of Ling Yu was an endless vast sea of sand, Ling Yu had fought in the Sea of Chaos, but he knew that compared to the Western Desert, the Sea of Chaos was just a sand dune. The yellow sand is endless, and the heat wave is coming.

As far as the eye can see, there are no buildings or vegetation in sight, it is like a place of exile, hot, barren and desolate. There is no wind, no rain, no life, only fingernail-sized yellow sand and the setting sun. Ling Yu stepped on the beach, and the sound of "rustling" seemed to be the only echo between heaven and earth. One step, it was only one step from Zhongzhou to the Western Desert, but it was this step that made Ling Yu feel as if he had entered another world. The hot and dry air was tireless, and they were like floats in a vast sea of sand, forgotten by the world. Only the setting sun hit the two of them, pulling their shadows towards the end of heaven and earth.

"Xiao Yu, what should we do? Shall we continue walking?" Simba stopped beside the stone tablet and looked into the distance, where there was no end, and finally turned to Ling Yu and asked. Ahead of them was an endless stretch of yellow sand, meeting the sky. As far as the eye can see, there is no place to stop. And now it's twilight again, and if they continue on their journey, then they will probably spend the night in the sea of sand tonight. For the strange land of the Western Desert, Simba's nature as a demon clan is revealed. No matter what time it is, we must maintain a vigilant heart, and only by being cautious in everything will we not make a big mistake.

"Let's go, it's still half an hour before sunset, and if we really can't find a place to stay, let's rest in the yellow sand for the night. I have a gut feeling that this rebellion in the Western Desert is not simple, so we must speed up our pace and arrive at Xiaolin Temple as soon as possible. Ling Yu shook his head and said.

Seeing that Ling Yu had already made a decision, Simba had no choice but to nod. The two took a deep breath and chased after the sunset. The remnant sun is like blood, the afterglow is like gold, and the two of them are shrouded in the glow, as if they are wearing a golden glow robe. They each performed their own methods, and their lonely shadows shone on the sky and disappeared at the end of heaven and earth.

As the sun set over the distant sea of sand, the sky darkened. A quarter of an hour before the sun shines, and the next quarter of an hour into the night. The bright moonlight reflects from the east, refracting the sand and gravel with a little light. The sky is like a black curtain, dotted with starlight, shining like pearls.

Ling Yu looked up to his side and found a huge stone lying in front of him on the right. He nodded at Simba, and the two of them approached the stone and sat down on the ground. After a day's trek, the two were already hungry. Ling Yu took out pots and pans and boiled a pot of broth for them to satisfy their hunger.

After dinner, Ling Yu and the others leaned against the bluestone and meditated and rested. The desert wind is very light, and it is hot and dry during the day, but at night, there is a feeling of coolness. The sun in the Western Desert is scorching, and the sand absorbs heat quickly, so the Western Desert during the day is comparable to a scorching summer. But at night, the sand dissipates heat quickly, so the nights in the desert are also very cold. The two of them lay on their backs in the yellow sand, with the sky as the cover and the earth as the bed, looking up at the long river of stars, each thinking about their hearts. That night, nothing unusual happened. They slept deeply, and in their sleep there seemed to be a Sanskrit sound, and they fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, the two continued their journey. They knew that if by the time the sun rose, the West Desert would turn into a furnace again, and at that time, they were afraid that their speed would slow down. They spent three days in the desert until the fourth day, when they finally saw the people.

It was an ancient city, and the ancient city was called Tanshi City. This city is similar in size to the Four Elephant Cities in the Northern Regions, but this big city is more vicissitudes than the Four Elephant Cities. The wind and sand of the years have swept across the city walls, leaving patches on the city walls. Due to the damage caused by the wind and sand, there are already potholes in the bluestone of the city wall.

The two found a restaurant in Tanshi City, where they planned to rest for the night and wash away the dust on their bodies. After inquiring, Ling Yu knew that they had truly stepped into the Western Desert at this time. The path they had taken before was just a sea of sand on the periphery of the Western Desert, and continuing to move forward was the real Western Desert. Moreover, Ling Yu discovered a very strange phenomenon in Tanshi City. In Tanshi City, although there are cultivators, merchants, and ordinary people, the merchants and people in Tanshi City rarely sell meat. Later, under the explanation of an old man, Ling Yu realized that it turned out that in the Western Desert, almost all the people and living beings worshipped the Buddha devoutly. Eating meat and drinking alcohol is a break in their hearts, so only some foreign shops will sell wine and meat. The aborigines of Tanshi City worship the Buddha every day and eat vegetarian food, and their beliefs are pious. For their living habits, Ling Yu maintains the most sincere respect.

The ancient temples of the Western Desert are all over the place, which is the holy land of Buddhism, and of course, there are also some Taoist temples hidden between the ancient temples. Buddhism and Taoism have a lot of understandings, Buddhism's "emptiness" borrows Taoism's "nothingness", and Taoism's "nothingness" also borrows Buddhism's "emptiness". The two have their own strengths and complement each other. Buddhism has a saying: Life is bitter, death is also bitter, and the cycle of life and death is endless. Buddhism uses a mirror to metaphor the heart, the heart of the saint is always silent, the silence is spotless, and the light is all over the ten directions. Therefore, Buddhism emphasizes nirvana and transcendence from reincarnation. And Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation, obedience to the sky, and inaction. Therefore, there is a saying in Taoism, called: Shun adult, reverse become immortal.

After resting in the restaurant for the night, the two set out on their journey again. Because there is a teleportation array leading to Xiaolin Temple in Tanshi City, the next road is much easier. Ling Yu and the others used the teleportation array in Tanshi City, and it only took four days to come to the vicinity of Xiaolin Temple.

Ling Yu spread out his divine sense and looked at this thousand-year-old temple. He found that when he used his divine sense to "look" at the ancient temple, he saw a golden light curtain wrapped outside the Xiaolin Temple. There were countless swastikas floating in that light curtain, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds emanated from the light curtain, smoothing people's impetuous hearts.

"This is the shield of the abbot of Xiaolin Temple blessed with mental power, it seems that the crisis suffered by Xiaolin Temple this time is not a trivial matter! If you want to maintain such a huge shield, I am afraid that in addition to the mental power of all living beings and the incense of Xiaolin Temple, you also need to be blessed with essence and blood. In other words, Juekong is guarding Kobayashi Temple with his life. Human essence and blood are limited, and if it continues like this, Juekong won't last long!" Ling Yu's eyes looked at the shield outside Xiaolin Temple, sighed, and said softly. Although he is not a disciple of Buddhism, as the primordial stone, he knows the holy power of Buddhism very well.

"Then what can we do?" Hearing the light sigh of the realm, Ling Yu knew that Xiaolin Temple was indeed as he expected, and he was afraid that it had reached the point of life and death. It's just that he has just come to the West Desert and is not very clear about the situation here, so he can only ask the realm for advice.

"The Seven Treasure Glass on your body was once used as a holy object to suppress those three giant scorpions, and now it seems that you may have to rely on the Seven Treasure Glass again to help Xiaolin Temple tide over the difficulties. It's just that I always feel that something is wrong with the Western Desert Rebellion this time, but I can't see what is wrong!" Jie looked at the light curtain outside Xiaolin Temple, frowned slightly, and sighed softly.
