Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 14 Among the Ruins

The long yellow sand, extending from the foot to the sky, the top of the head is blue, the foot is gray and yellow, looking into the distance, the blue gradually turns white, the gray and yellow also gradually turn white, to the most beautiful day after tomorrow The white and the white of the sand are connected together, and you can no longer see where the sky is and where is the sand.

Xiao Buyi stood on the top of the tallest remaining building in the ruins, looking into the distance, and took in the entire ruins clearly.

The ruins and ruins are one after another, and the rubble and rubble are stacked on top of each other, and nothing special can be seen.

It was as if a picture called "Time" unfolded in front of them, but there was nothing in this picture that could be independent of time.

Feel ...... Even if there used to be some ingenious mechanism formation here, now it has lost its strength with the passage of time, and it has been lost in the long river of time, and it has merged with this ruin.

Xiao Buyi's face was ugly, and since he arrived here, his face has not been very good-looking, and it is getting worse and worse.

He ran through the ancient city, stopping occasionally, searching through every ruin he thought might be a place of inheritance; He soared into the sky with a magic weapon, flying in circles over the ancient city, carefully examining the trajectory of every street and every wall on the ground, speculating if there was any formation; He also spread his mana uncontrollably, hoping to use the unique mana of the Cloth Cloth God faction to awaken the sleeping mechanism.

But he found nothing, and he never found what he was looking for.

At last, he could only stand on the top of a half-collapsed tower, staring blankly at the entire ruins.

"Where exactly?" He muttered to himself, his expression full of worry and pain, "Do you say...... Is it really gone? ”

Wu Xie did not act with him, but stood outside the ruins, waiting for him to find the place of inheritance.

"Aren't you going to help?" Momoda asked in a low voice, "I don't know what you're looking for, but it's better to find two people than one." ”

"It's inconvenient for me to interfere, that's the test of his master's selection of disciples." Wu Xie shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you keep muttering on the road that you wanted to go to Kyushu early to join the Shingon Sect?" Why are you still wasting time here? ”

"I figured it out. As long as I follow you, she can't kill me. In that case, why should I not rest well? The great monk from the West put on a scoundrel face, "If I leave now, it will definitely be an endless hunt." So why should I go? ”

Wu Xie frowned and didn't say anything.

He didn't like the feeling of being used, but when he remembered the result of Xiao Buyi's appearance of these two people, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

Seeing each other is fate, he has no grievances with these two people, and he is naturally happy to see the two turn their rivalry into friendship.

Or at the very least, he didn't want these two people to die in the entanglement and fight so confused.

The monk is chasing immortality, and if he dies like that, what everyone is fighting for, the dream that everyone has been chasing, won't it become a joke?

He didn't speak, not even the female assassin not far away.

She sat motionless in the shadows beneath a rock, looking as if she was dead. But everyone knows that she's just resting and keeping herself in top shape for the fight.

As a fighter who is always ready to fight, and possibly even ready to die, she doesn't waste her time and energy on boring conversations.

Wu Xie waited for a while, but Xiao Buyi still watched carefully from the top of the tower, looking for possible clues.

Or rather, still in vain.

So he shook his head, sat down in the shadows, and took out a bamboo tube to drink.

His mission was to help Xiao Buyi open the entrance to the Land of Inheritance after he found it. Now he hasn't even found the entrance, so naturally he doesn't have anything to do.

This is a challenge that Xiao Buyi must face alone, a difficult problem that must be solved alone. If you can't even do this, then you still have the mind to get the inheritance of the cloth god after you die, and you can honestly be an ordinary casual cultivator.

It's not that Wu Xie is unreasonable, and it's not that he deliberately embarrassed Xiao Buyi, any sect in the world does this.

Just like when Wu Xie and them participated in the entry selection of Qingyang Temple, An Ziqing, as the most outstanding young generation of the important side branch of Qingyang Temple, "Shendan Anjia", also needs to be assessed in accordance with the rules, and cannot get any external help; Wu Xie fulfilled his last wish for Jiang'an and won the gratitude and respect of this uncle, but he couldn't get started directly, and he needed to run back to Niutou Mountain to climb the stone steps.

The introductory assessment is not only a test of the disciple's talent and heart, but also a test of the disciple's relationship with the sect.

In Wu Jie's opinion, Xiao Buyi's talent and heart should be fine, but whether it is really related to Buyi's god is uncertain.

But he had secretly decided that even if Xiao Buyi failed to successfully obtain the inheritance of Buyi's divine appearance, he would invite him to join the Ming Sect.

The position of the leader of the Ming Sect has always been reserved for the Holy Heavenly Maiden who will be reborn, but as an emerging sect, there are more elders in the sect, which is definitely beneficial and harmless.

He had even already thought that if Xiao Buyi failed to get the inheritance of the cloth cloth god appearance, he would go to the library to look for it, and see if he could find the cloth cloth god face or other things left by the predecessors who were known for their calculations.

If it goes well, he can even go to the second floor of the library building to apply for a book of exercises that will be useful for Xiao Buyi.

Those on the third floor are all fundamental Dafa, and they are absolutely not allowed to be spread out. But those Dao methods on the second floor are generally okay, as long as the requirements of the sect are completed.

Xiao Buyi's character is good, and it is worth his time and energy to apply for a book of exercises from the second floor.

Time passed slowly, the sun gradually turned west, the sun dragged the shadow of the remnant tower on the ground for a long time, and the lonely figure at the top of the tower looked particularly bleak in the gradually strong evening breeze.

Wu Xie sighed and shouted over there, "Xiao Daoyou, let's rest for a while!" There's still a lot of time, so there's no need to rush! ”

Xiao Buyi came back to his senses when he heard this, shook his head, sighed, and was about to turn around to leave the remnant tower, when his eyes suddenly fixed on the eastern horizon.

"Someone is coming again!"

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, took the sword light and flew into the air, and sure enough, he saw four figures wrapped in thick white robes walking from the wind and sand on a sleigh.

The four men seem to be the type with a lot of experience in the desert, their outfits are the best for desert maneuvers, and the sand sleds they use are special vehicles that only professionals can use well.

This kind of sand sled, which is somewhat similar to the windsurfing board on the earth, can easily travel in the desert with the help of the wind, which can not only save a lot of physical strength, but also can load a lot of materials, and is the best means of transportation for desert travel.

There are many rare materials in the desert, the most common are some special ores, and there are many rare gems, so it attracts many treasure hunters. Even camels can't go deep into the desert of this world, and if you want to go deep into the desert to hunt for treasure, the only thing you can ride is a sand sled.

Even for monks with vast magical powers, unless they are able to fly at high speeds, it is better to get a sand sled.

There are probably only two kinds of people who travel in the desert without using a sled: one is like a monk and a killer, who happens suddenly and has no time to prepare a sled; The other is like Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi, who don't know how to use a sand sled.

Before they set off, Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi also bought a sand sled, but unfortunately this thing is not an ordinary trouble to operate, and they can't control it freely if they don't practice for ten days and half a month. They really don't have that much time to waste, so they have to walk on their legs.

Anyway...... They're fast......

Of course, even if ordinary people have sand sleds, they can't go too far into the desert, at least Wu Jie's current location, it is said that ordinary people will never be able to reach it.

Wu Xie slowly flew to Xiao Buyi's side and told him what he had seen. The faces of both of them were a little gloomy, and a premonition of bad luck rose in their hearts.

Will go out of their way to find this ruin, which is almost located in the core of the desert, and make full preparations, and there is more than one person...... It inevitably reminded them of themselves.

Could it be ...... Are those people, like them, also here to try to obtain the inheritance of the cloth gods?

The two looked at each other as well, simply waited no longer and greeted them.

The two groups soon met in the windswept sand of the setting sun, but the meeting was a bit unexpected.

When Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi landed in front of the sled from the air, before they could speak, one of the four passengers on the sled shouted in surprise.

"Big brother?! Why are you in the desert too? Could it be that you are also here to find Li Buyi's relics? ”

Wu Xie was slightly stunned, followed the sound, and saw that the tall and strong man ripped off his hood, revealing a square face with Chinese characters, and a terrible scar from his forehead to the center of his eyebrows, making him look particularly hideous.

"Senior Brother Yan? You're also here to help others get the Cloth Cloth God Inheritance? ”

This strong man is none other than Wu Jie's junior disciple, one of the two martial arts monks among the twenty-seven generations of disciples of Qingyangguan, Yan Feng.

With Wu Xie and Yan Feng, the two brothers, as a buffer, the original tense atmosphere was immediately eased, and the two sides no longer put on a hostile posture, but returned to the ruins together.

"Is this the ruins of the ancient city that hides the true inheritance of the ancestor?" The leader of that group, a man who listened to his voice a little old, muttered, "It seems that you haven't found the place of inheritance yet?" ”

"But we're one step ahead after all!" Xiao Buyi replied without concessions.

"It's about the battle of Taoism, and it doesn't make sense to come first and come later." The man smiled and asked, "If you come late, will you give up?" ”

Xiao Buyi snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "If you are late, there is no fate, the most important thing in our industry is fate, you don't think that people who come late are more destined than those who come early, right?" ”

"Those who get it are fateful, and those who can't get it are unlucky." The man still smiled calmly, "It's better not to be so angry, young people, I've seen too many people like you." They all felt that they were very capable and lucky, but each one of them failed. ”

"Are you expensive this year?" Xiao Buyi sneered and asked, "Don't think I don't know the way!" Our faction's divination consumes a lot of longevity, so we are born to look much older than others. I think you are only a cultivator in the realm of Taoism, and you will only be sixty or seventy years old when you reach the sky, what kind of predecessor are you! ”

The man smiled and took off the white turban that covered his head and face, revealing a slightly old face.

"My name is Su Lin, and I'm a tree spirit. Although the Tao is not high, he is already more than 1,200 years old this year. ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned for a moment, and shouted in a lost voice: "Su Lin, the first god operator in the north? ”

"No, it's the number one god in the world!" Su Lin showed pride on his face, "If you want to ask who is the most suitable person in this world to be the heir of the cloth god, it can only be me!" ”
