Chapter 121: A Small Town by the Mountain

readx;? Because Mu Dan had traveled to the Nansha Forbidden Land twice, and as a member of the Spirit Clan, she herself was quite knowledgeable about the way to survive in the desert, so in the mouth of the Holy Domain, it was often said that there was no entry and no exit, and there was no death, but when she arrived at Mu Dan, it became a joke. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Dan couldn't help but be able to predict the changes in the Nansha Forbidden Land in advance through her Spirit Clan's unique sensing ability, and she could also accurately find the deep water sources and dead plants in the desert, and the huge book basket she was carrying behind her was full of specially preserved ingredients, and there was even a map of the Nansha Forbidden Land that she had drawn herself, which surprised Lu Yifan.

Therefore, with Mu Dan by his side, after Lu Yifan broke into the Nansha Forbidden Land, instead of dying and getting lost in it, he also learned a lot of survival skills that he had never even heard of.

According to the previous agreement, the two of them traveled all the way south through the Nansha Forbidden Land, and it took nearly a month to get out of the 3,000-mile Nansha Forbidden Land.

Now it is a scorching summer, and the wind and sand are extremely strong, especially for Lu Yifan, who is walking in the desert, the trip to the desert during this time makes him look extremely embarrassed, unkempt and covered with mud and sand, even if it is said that people are not ghosts or ghosts, it is not an exaggeration. And what puzzled Lu Yifan the most was that the trip to the desert for more than a month did not bring the slightest change to Mu Dan, according to Lu Yifan's words, no matter how bad the environment was, she was still so smart.

Regarding the special physique and ability of the people of the Spirit Clan, Lu Yifan really didn't know what to say except for sighing.

After leaving the Nansha forbidden land, the surrounding environment has gradually become richer, no longer monotonous eyes full of yellow sand, and can already vaguely see the little green plants and waterholes in the desert, so Lu Yifan and Mu Dan have accelerated their progress a lot. And the more they go south, the better the environment, a few days after officially leaving the Nansha forbidden land, Lu Yifan and they even encountered some small cities and villages in the desert along the way, as well as some merchants and horse teams who traveled between the north and the south, and the population and vitality gradually became richer.

And the most important thing is that the more he goes south, the stronger the inexplicable desire and expectation in Lu Yifan's heart becomes, especially these **** will have the same dream almost every night, and the scene and sound in the dream are exactly the same as what he dreamed before, but it seems to be getting clearer and clearer, and even in a recent dream, he can vaguely see the figure that has always summoned him in the dark.

Although he didn't know who the person who summoned him was, and he didn't know what would happen in front of him, Lu Yifan was sure that these strange dreams and the inexplicable longing in his heart were definitely very closely related to the ultimate purpose of his trip to the southwest.

The so-called blessing and misfortune depended, and Lu Yifan's rapid southward journey was not entirely smooth sailing, because from the beginning of the first small town they encountered after leaving the Nansha forbidden land, they found that almost everywhere in the populated towns or villages were posted notices that wanted Lu Yifan, and on the notices there were still clearly painted Lu Yifan's face, and more importantly, the notices were also marked with "a reward of 1,000 silver shells for those who provide accurate information, and a heavy reward of 10,000 silver shells for those who successfully captured Lu Yifan." And regardless of life or death, even if it is to hand over Lu Yifan's corpse, and the initiator of all this is the Sealed City Sect that has a deep hatred for Lu Yifan.

But fortunately, Lu Yifan is now unkempt, his face is smudged, and he is covered in a tattered linen cloth, like a beggar begging for food, which has not attracted the attention of others along the way.

But even so, Lu Yifan and Mu Dan were still cautious along the way, trying to avoid people's eyes and ears.

In this way, on the tenth day after leaving the Nansha Forbidden Land, Lu Yifan and Mu Dan finally came to the southernmost part of this southwest desert, and at this moment they could even clearly see the huge figure of the towering Xihuang Mountain in the distance, which also indicated that the destination of their trip was finally coming.

At the southernmost tip of the Southwest Desert, close to the foot of Xihuang Mountain, is a soil city with a population of only more than 100,000, called "Xihuang City" Don't look at the population of the West Imperial City is not large, the place is not big, but the city is quite prosperous, not because of anything else, just because it is located in the southwest of the north and south fortress land, almost all the merchants who want to pass through the north and south must pass through the West Imperial City smoothly, and the West Imperial City is also the only exit from the North Ridge of the West Emperor Mountain, whether it is the people in the south who want to go north, or the people in the north who want to go south, they must pass through the West Emperor Mountain, and this West Imperial City is the only passage in and out of the West Emperor Mountain.

When Lu Yifan and Mu Dan entered the Western Imperial City, the sun had already set, the sky was completely dark, and the vast desert outside the city was silent and deserted, but what Lu Yifan and the others didn't expect was that the scene of entering the Western Imperial City made the two of them couldn't help but be shocked.

The West Imperial City is full of bright lights, whether it is the hawkers standing on the street with candles and stalls shouting loudly, or the lanterns hanging high on both sides of the street, the restaurants and tea shops with loud voices, and even the bustling pedestrians of different forms dressed in clothes on the streets, all highlight the hustle and bustle of this small city in the southwest。

The noise, the clamour, the laughter, the shouting, the sound of all around, far from being diminished by the fall of night, seems to show the people who come here the unique night market and prosperity of the Western Imperial City.

Lu Yifan and Mu Dan walked slowly on the street with the surging flow of people, looking at the vendors and guests talking and laughing on both sides, they were very surprised. And Mu Dan kept stopping, looking curiously at all kinds of small objects and cheap rouge jewelry displayed by the vendors left and right.

"I really didn't expect that this small Western Imperial City is much more prosperous than the huge Wenyang City!" Lu Yifan said with emotion, and he deliberately covered his fluffy and messy hair on his face as he spoke, because on a corner wall not far in front of him, he saw a notice that Lou Zong wanted himself.

"I didn't expect it to be quite fun in the Holy Domain!" Mu Dan was in a very different mood from Lu Yifan at the moment, not only did she not have the slightest fear because of the large number of people here, but she also became extremely excited because of the excitement here, "I thought that the Holy Land was sparsely populated like the Nansha Forbidden Land, but I didn't expect there to be such a prosperous place!"

"I'll just say that you don't know about the Holy Domain at all, this is just a small city, if one day you can go to Jinling City, the imperial capital of the Holy Land, then it will be truly prosperous!" Lu Yifan covered his face with one hand and chuckled in a low voice, "You see these people coming and going, their clothes are different, that's because they come from different places in the north and south, and this is only prosperous because this is a southwest fortress, because there are too many outsiders, so it is prosperous, not really prosperous in the city." ”

Hearing Lu Yifan's explanation, Mu Dan nodded as if she didn't understand, and then she turned her head and looked directly at Lu Yifan with a pair of smiling eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you have a chance in the future, you can take me to Jinling City what you just said! I'm curious about what the imperial capital of the Holy Land looks like!"

"If you have the chance, of course you can!" Lu Yifan smiled lightly.

At this moment, there were many people who walked by Lu Yifan and Mu Dan, and they couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at the two who were talking and laughing, and it was estimated that none of them could understand why Mu Dan, a girl who looked so beautiful and clean, would walk with a "beggar".

There were even some people who walked by Lu Yifan's side, but they quickly avoided both sides with a disgusted look on their noses, which caused Lu Yifan to be embarrassed for a while, but this situation made Mu Dan smile and lean back, very happy.

"Tomorrow we will be able to enter Xihuang Mountain, let's find an inn here to live and rest tonight!" Lu Yifan really didn't want to continue to be exposed to the public like this, he saw a small two-story inn not far in front of him, so he took the initiative to propose to Mu Dan.

"Okay! During this time, we almost didn't dare to stay in the guest house, and we have been sleeping outside, since we have reached the foot of Xihuang Mountain, I think there will probably be no more enemies of yours!" Mu Dan nodded in agreement, and did not forget to ridicule Lu Yifan's experience for a while, "Before I saved you, I never expected that you would have so many enemies, and there were notices everywhere to hunt you down, seeing that you are not very old, your ability to cause trouble is not small!"

Lu Yifan was speechless for a while by Mu Dan, he had explained this matter to Mu Dan more than once, but every time Mu Dan saw the notice of chasing him, he couldn't help but make a joke, and over time, Lu Yifan also formed a habit.

"Yes, yes, I have a lot of enemies! Let's go quickly, if we are recognized later, then we will be really in trouble!" Lu Yifan said helplessly, and hurriedly raised his feet and walked towards the inn in front of him.

"Don't worry, no one will recognize you now! Look at how handsome you are painted on the notice, you and the person on the notice are just two completely different people!" Mu Dan smiled, and covered his nose with disgust as he spoke, "There is still a bad smell, can't you smell the smell of your body?" The poisonous juice that has been applied to you is mixed with the smell of sweat these days, I really don't know how you endured it!"

"I don't have your natural ability to be spotless, and anything dirty and smelly can only be left on my body as long as I don't take a bath. Lu Yifan sniffed his clothes left and right, and said with a bitter face, "Wait a moment when I get to the inn, I must freshen up well, I feel like I am about to lose my recognition." ”

"But if we go to the guest house, do you have any money?" Mu Dan suddenly changed his words, and hurriedly asked, pretending to be innocent and shrugging his shoulders at Lu Yifan, "Explain in advance, I don't have a silver shell on me, and you also know that I can't use silver shells at all to find the bones of the Qilin King in the Nansha Forbidden Land." ”

Hearing Mu Dan's words, Lu Yifan couldn't help but be stunned, and then he subconsciously touched his waist, and the money bag that was originally hanging there has long since disappeared.

"My money bag is also ......" Lu Yifan never thought that the dignified young master of the Lu family would be reduced to such a situation today, in the past, he could throw millions of silver shells for a jade belt in Jinling City, but today he is so poor that he can't even take out the money for a restaurant to eat, it is really impermanent, "There is no ......"

"Let me ask one more question, do you need to pay for the Sacred Domain Guest House?" Mu Dan asked with an embarrassed expression. As she expected, when she finished asking this sentence, she was exchanged for a slightly disdainful look from Lu Yifan, "Actually, what I mean is, will your inn in the Holy Domain take pity on us a little, and waive our store money if we are in difficulty......"

"No!" Before Mu Dan's words were finished, Lu Yifan said bluntly, "People are doing this business, how can they waive the store money because of our problems?"

"Sure enough, there is no human touch...... Mu Dan said with an angry face, and then saw her eyes roll slightly, and a quirky and playful look appeared on her face, "Since that's the case, then you can't blame me!"

"What do you want to do?" Lu Yifan asked in surprise.

"I want to stay at a guest house!"

"But we didn't ......"

However, before Lu Yifan's words were finished, Mu Dan's sudden move surprised him.

It turned out that just when Lu Yifan was helpless and ready to give up, Mu Dan, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly tilted his feet, and then his whole body staggered towards the body of a pot-bellied brocade man who happened to pass in front of him, and then before the man could react, Mu Dan's left hand had already firmly supported the man's shoulder, but even so, she still pretended to be weak and tilted her body slightly to the side, and then her right hand was very inadvertently crossed the man's waist.

"Oops......" accompanied by a greasy cry, I saw that Mu Dan's body had already stood upright, and she was still looking at the man with a pair of moving bright eyes pretending to be aggrieved, "This son, I'm really embarrassed...... I accidentally bumped into you......"

And the man who was about to scold saw Mu Dan's appearance clearly, and the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a disgusting sneer and a coy gesture: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, this young lady should be careful when walking, it's not good if she falls and hurts!"

"Thank you, Childe, the little woman will say goodbye first......" Mu Dan showed a sweet smile at the man, and then before the man opened his mouth again, Mu Dan hurriedly said goodbye, and then walked over to Lu Yifan with a wicked smile, and in her right hand at this moment, there was a bulging red money bag.

"You steal something!" Lu Yifan said with a surprised expression, and there seemed to be a hint of reproach in his tone.

"This is not called stealing, this is called borrowing!" Mu Dan said confidently, "Do you understand the emergency rescue of the rivers and lakes?"

"But ......"

"Then do you want to go to the inn to wash off the bad smell on your body?" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to say more, Mu Dan changed his words, and then threatened with a provocative face, and deliberately shook the bulging money bag in his hand.

"Forehead ......"

"Okay, let's go quickly! You can see by the way that man is dressed and knows that he is a rich wine bag and rice bag, waiting for a prodigal son, we are just borrowing his money to drink flower wine to save his life! It is also a merit for him!" Mu Dan said and pushed Lu Yifan, who was still hesitating, with both hands, and walked quickly towards the second-floor inn, "Go and clean up the poisonous juice and scars on your face, I haven't seen what you look like......?"

"It's not good, after all, it's other people's money......"

"Long-winded, Lu Yifan, are you a man after all, didn't your father teach you that people have three urgencies, eating urgently, sleeping urgently, and spending money urgently?"

"This ...... When did the three urgencies of people become the three urges you said...... Alas, no, don't push me, can't I go......"

In this way, under the push and shoving of Mu Dan and Lu Yifan, they disappeared into the door of the inn at the far end of the street.

And under a corner at the end of the street, the gloomy moonlight shone on several figures standing here, and the leader of them was a middle-aged man with a scar on his cheek and a hideous face. From beginning to end, his eyes followed Lu Yifan and Mu Dan rigidly, until Lu Yifan and the two disappeared into the inn, and the middle-aged man's face slowly squeezed out a cruel smile.

"It seems that this 10,000 silver shells belong to our brothers!"

As he spoke, the man with the scar slowly raised his left hand, and the one he was holding in his left hand at the moment,
