Chapter 1 No one returns, no one returns
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
At the end of the horizon, a round sun dyes the sky red, like where a flower blooms, but only desolation is left after being amazed.
The endless desert is also desolate, but it is more empty and clear.
The sand flew all over the sky, like a silk scarf dropped by a beautiful woman fluttering in the air, finally covering a group of people.
They had been waiting here for a day, and it was supposed to be an ambush, and everyone had a thick layer of yellow sand on them.
The camouflage is more thorough, completely integrated with the desert.
"There is no water left, sir, I'm going to die of thirst here. ”
Xu Mo struggled to crawl out of his sandbag, glanced at the sunset, and then shrank back listlessly.
"Did Brother Hai Zi say the wrong time, it's been a day of waiting, why hasn't the barbarian appeared. ”
He counted the time, feeling that it should have arrived a long time ago, why hadn't he come over yet, could it be that they had a long brain?
Talking to himself for a long time and no one talked, Xu Mo reached out and poked into a sandbag beside him, grabbed a piece of fat and carried it up.
"It hurts...... It hurts...... Painful"
The fat man hurriedly crawled out of pain, clutching his chest and howling, it seemed that he was indeed pinched.
Xu Mo glanced at it, there were more than a dozen sandbags of all sizes around him, and everyone was in it, very honest, without the slightest trace of movement.
"Okay, let's come out quickly, don't dig the grave anywhere, you have to get into it yourself after you finish digging. ”
Hearing the voice, everyone crawled out one after another, looking at him one by one.
"And there is no water. ”
Xu Mo asked, he only felt astringent in his mouth, stirred twice with his tongue and felt something sticky in his mouth, and even his voice began to be hoarse.
One of them took out the kettle and shook it twice, and said, "Brother Xu's water is still a little, but it's only low." ”
Xu Mo hooked his fingers and said, "That's called Fugen, you don't understand." ”
After moistening his throat, Xu Mo felt a lot better, turned to the other side and said, "Is the news given by Brother Haizi accurate, it's dark, and the barbarian hasn't come yet." ”
The fat man looked at the sky, the time that Brother Hai Zi said had indeed passed, but the time he gave had always been accurate, and he may have miscalculated the time on the road.
"I guess I didn't add in the walking time, so let's wait a little longer. ”
Xu Mo rolled his eyes, took out a piece of cloth and began to wipe his sword.
Among the dozen or so people in the group, only Xu Mo used a sword by himself, his body type belonged to the slender and strong category, and it would be easier to use a sword.
Before you know it, the dark night is coming.
Transparent black shrouds the earth, Xu Mo likes this time the most, and always says that the night is the most beautiful when it turns black into black.
Of course, this is just a pretext, the main reason is that he only has time to accompany Yueyue at night, and he is basically outside the city to deal with barbarians during the day.
It was a group of ancient barbarians, who retained the original primitiveness and wildness of human beings, and endless conquest was their goal, and they did not know where they came from.
This dozen is thousands of years, and it has been since the day of the creation of the world.
However, they seem to be afraid of the night when they wake up, and most of them only appear during the day, except for .......
Xu Mo frowned, immediately looked up at the moon, and couldn't help but say: "Full moon"
The fat man immediately shook his head, and suddenly looked up to find that a bright moon was in the sky, and there was no cloud.
The rest of the people looked at the two of them with a blank look on their faces.
"The barbarians under the full moon cannot be killed, except with fire. Xu Mo explained briefly, and then said, "Which of you has brought a fire fold." ”
Everyone shook their heads, and Xu Mo bit his nails and fell into deep thought.
"Sassy ...... Sassy"
The sound of messy footsteps came and went, from far to near, and the sound of the soles of the feet stepping on the yellow sand and sinking into it was very unique and magical, deeply attracting Xu Mo.
Whenever he heard this sound, he would be extremely excited, because he would earn every time he killed a wave of barbarians...... It's a lot of money.
"Good things don't happen often, they come to my house every year. ”
Xu Mo's old-fashioned tone sounded, dissipating the previous tense atmosphere.
"You haven't finished the pot of wine that the fat man gave you in the morning, have you?" asked Xu Mo.
The fat man took a few taps on his chest, took out a wine jug and banged it, and said, "Here you go, there is almost half a pot left." ”
Xu Mo poured wine on everyone's weapons, and in order to ensure that the wine could wrap the weapons, he also deliberately poured more.
"The fat man cut me. Xu Mo said bluntly.
"Brother Xu, you are crazy, what am I cutting you for, my knife is used to cut those barbarians. ”
The fat man was surprised, and let people cut themselves if they were good, what kind of routine was this, he couldn't figure out how to let out an exclamation, which caused a large group of barbarians to roar towards them.
Seeing that the barbarians were all rushing to him, Xu Mo said angrily: "If you want to cut you, what do you say, if you want to marry Yueyue, you can cut it quickly, harder." ”
The fat man's eyes widened, and flying with a big knife was a critical hit.
"When"
Xu Mo drew his sword to block the flow of the sword, and at the same time withdrew backwards, sparks shot out, and suddenly a fire sword appeared in his hand, and the fat man's knife also became a "fire cloud knife".
"Remember to prick their eyebrows, or you won't die. ”
The tone was cold, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and Xu Mo rushed out first.
The golden light in his eyes flashed, and every time a barbarian fell, a gold ingot fell to the ground in his eyes, and he killed a lot of them, almost a box...... For this reason, he is willing to fight until every soldier is killed, and he will never escape.
The moves are messy and disorganized, this is a set of swordsmanship that he has slashed out in a few years, which may seem ridiculous to everyone, but when used on the barbarian, the effect is surprisingly good.
A deep sword and a shallow sword, the sword and the eyebrows, like a dragon swimming back and forth between his hands,
Brother Xu ....... ”
With a terrible scream, a stream of blood splattered onto Xu Mo's face.
Someone was disemboweled by a barbarian with a stone axe, and the blood gushed wildly and dried up, and the blood foam quickly burrowed into the yellow sand, turning into pieces of red sand and condensing.
"Brute. ”
Xu Mo roared and rushed over, the sword was swirled in his hand, and he directly cut off the barbarian's head, but the barbarian was still not dead, and he blinked his eyes and wanted to bite him.
After hitting the stone axe with his head and "bang", his head hit a smash.
Xu Mo fell into madness, he was always like this, he would be furious whenever someone died in front of him, especially those whom he regarded as brothers.
The endless fighting, there will always be people who will fall, a commonplace thing, but still can't stop the inner turmoil.
Silently, the day came, the yellow sand drifted by, as if nothing had happened here.
Xu Mo's hair fluttered in the wind, lapping against a lean face, and he spilled all the remaining wine on the ground.
"That's all for you, save some drink...... Don't be a person in the next life, even if you do, don't be a person like us, it's boring. ”
He couldn't remember how many times he had spilled wine in the desert, and a few times he almost let someone else sprinkle it on himself, but fortunately he didn't let him die.
"Okay, Brother Xu, we should go back too. The fat man spoke so quietly that he was almost buried in the desert.
"Let's go...... Back!"
Xu Mo sighed and got up slowly, he wouldn't look back if he left, so he wanted to look at it again.
Donglin is the easternmost part of the world of heaven and earth, the lowest terrain, and there is only one city in the east, which is considered a slum.
Perhaps such a description is an exaggeration, but looking at the entire world of heaven and earth, the poorest place is indeed here.
At the beginning, Weiyang created the world into seven places, in addition to the Weiyang Palace, which was designated as the land of gods, there were also three major illusion worlds of war, stars, and underworld, but these are not places for ordinary people to go.
Ordinary people can only stay in Qionghua, Donglin and Qianday, which are also known as the Three Realms of the World.
Among them, Qionghua is vast and rich in products, many officials and emperors like it here, and most countries are also built here.
The calf day is very popular among cultivators, and the aura here is rich, and some of them are even condensed into water droplets and hidden in unknown holes, which shows the richness of their aura.
Of course, most of the cultivators from everyone are not short of money, so Donglin is indeed the poorest and sourest.
Xu Mo walked with the fat man one after the other, followed by a few surviving people.
They saw the gate from a long distance, and their steps involuntarily became faster.
"Moon...... Yueyue" The fat man waved his hand and ran towards the city gate.
"Why didn't I see you so desperate when I killed the barbarians? ”
Xu Mo was cold, but his speed was not slower than the other party, and even half a beat faster.
Under the city in the east, a young girl stood in front of the city gate, holding a basin of water in her hand, she was not tall, but she looked very cute, but her waist was a little thick, and her yellowish complexion was brought to her by the scorching sun in the east, which should have been very fair.
Seeing Xu Mo come back, a smile instantly appeared on her scorched little face, waving her hand while jumping, and she was afraid that the water in the basin would spill out, but even if it was really spilled, she would jump high so that the other party could see herself.
Xu Mo went all the way fast, passing by Brother Hai Zi, and he didn't see this person at all.
Haizi touched his chin and muttered, "The stinky boy only has your sister in his eyes." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the fat man who had just arrived in front of him and asked, "How is this little Xuzi?"
He ...... He...... His sword was a lot faster. The fat man panted like a pug, and after a while he fell to the ground and became a leper dog.
"It's getting faster again, this kid can do it!"
Haizi sighed for a while, Xu Mo only started to use the sword a few years ago, although he still doesn't know any swordsmanship to this day, but he has always improved in the speed and strength control of the sword, and his progress speed is several times that of ordinary people.
This was also discovered by him by accident, and he has been observing Xu Mo since then, and he has to admit that he is indeed quite talented in kendo.
Ignoring the gaze behind him, Xu Mo ran all the way to Yueyue and began to wash his hands and face, which is one thing he must do every time he comes back.
Xu Mo's parents died of illness when he was young, and he was raised by his second aunt, but the second aunt came to support herself, and she came to squander the Xu family, and in the end, even the Xu family's compound was sold, and when she saw that there was no money, she ran away.
Later, he was adopted by an eldest mother, and Yueyue was originally a child of the eldest mother's family, and the two became brother and sister.
When Xu Mo grew up, he began to kill barbarians to make money, and the family lived well, but the eldest mother also died of illness a few years ago.
Some people say that it is because he always comes home with the blood of a barbarian, and that thing is bad luck and killed the eldest mother, and since then he will wash himself before entering the city every time, at least there will be no blood on his hands and face.
And Yueyue would wait at the city gate with a basin every time, and over time it became a habit, one did not return and the other did not return.
After washing, Xu Mo led Yueyue into the city, and a burst of words came from behind him.
"Don't forget to go to Daddy's to get the money. ”
"I don't need you to remind you, Brother Haizi" Xu Mo smiled evilly and entered Donglin City.
