Chapter 1: Huangsha City
Shenglan Empire, southwest border. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to its proximity to the Dead Desert, the land in this area could not be cultivated and cultivated, so the people here moved to other places, and the southwestern frontier gradually became desolate.
But just a few decades ago, visions suddenly appeared in the mysterious dead desert, and the entire southwest border region was even more rendered by visions.
For a time, many forces within the empire sent men into the Dead Desert to investigate the cause of the vision.
Death Desert, in the legends that circulate within the Shenglan Empire, is the place where death ends.
Hundreds of years ago, the Shenglan Empire had just been established.
At that time, the southwest region was not as desolate as it is now, and the dead desert was not what it is now.
The place where the original Dead Desert was located was extremely rich, and the Wuyi Hou, who traditionally led this area, somehow angered the heavens, and finally the heavens sent down a mysterious heavenly punishment, which made the once rich land evolve into the current dead desert overnight, and the people of this area once disappeared without a trace.
Overnight, the desert turned into a dead desert, and every night there was always a terrifying ghost howl in the desert, and all kinds of weirdness made the surrounding area gradually desolate.
Just after the vision of the dead desert, the silent desert seems to have life, the quicksand in the desert is pulled by some force, the speed of migration is greatly accelerated, and the terrain of the entire dead desert is constantly changing, and if you walk rashly, you will be lost in it.
Only a few of the many people who finally entered the Death Desert made it out alive, and the rest were buried under the yellow sand, but the news they brought out still shocked the high-level of the Shenglan Empire.
It turned out that after the mysterious vision, many treasures appeared in the dead desert for no reason. What's even more strange is that in the depths of the dead desert, they vaguely saw a mysterious palace.
For a while, the news that countless treasures suddenly appeared in the dead desert spread within the empire, and the news that the treasure house suspected to be the treasure house of Wuyi Hou might reappear in the dead desert spread far and wide.
Hearing the news, countless speculators have gone to the Death Desert, and this long-dormant area is lively again.
Under the succession of adventurers, there is no trace of the mysterious treasure house of Wuyi Hou, but the many treasures flowing out of the dead desert have also made some people earn a lot of wealth.
As treasure hunters continue to search, the treasures that flow from the dead desert become scarcer and rarer, and if nothing else, this desolate area will fall silent again.
After a gap of ten years, a mysterious vision appeared again in the dead desert, and the people who remained here saw countless treasures splashing out under the yellow sand of the dead desert.
On the bleak wilderness, a lonely figure fell on the earth.
The sun is setting, and the sunset is like fire.
Under the disturbance of several days of eating, drinking, and beasts, Muyang had no spirit at all and just moved forward silently.
In the distance, a lonely city loomed into his sight on the wilderness horizon.
Mu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the lonely city standing in the distance, and let out a long sigh of relief: "It's finally here." ”
He had been walking alone in the wilderness for nearly ten days, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable in the lifeless wilderness all the time, but at this time, the extremely distant Huangsha City brought a little excitement to Muyang's tired body and mind for several days.
Huangsha City, a border city that developed after the first vision of the Dead Desert, stands at the very edge of the Dead Desert, where countless adventurers have died for decades, and countless lucky people have made their fortunes here, this city standing in the wilderness is both hell and heaven.
After a while, Muyang came to the Huangsha City Gate. Compared to the bleak wilderness, there is life near Huangsha City. Before entering the city gate, Mu Yang had already seen the continuous flow of people at the city gate, and a group of about 100 people in a neatly armed team was particularly eye-catching.
With a sweep of the past, the leader of the hundred-person team reached the Yijin realm, and there were still about ten martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm left.
Puzzled, Mu Yang asked the burly middle-aged man in a simple battle uniform on the side: "Uncle, why are there more than 100 people gathered at the gate of this city?"
The burly middle-aged man turned his head when he heard this, and looked at the young man in a purple robe, with a hint of immaturity on his slightly delicate face, judging by his age, at best, he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and it seemed out of place with the desperate crowd here.
"Little guy, this Yellow Sand City is not a place to run around. The burly middle-aged man mistakenly thought that the young man in front of him had come to Huangsha City with the elders of the family, and he couldn't resist his curiosity and sneaked out to join in the fun, and then kindly reminded, "This is the elite team of Lingxiao Pavilion, and they are probably going to dig treasures in the Dead Desert." ”
"Over the years, everyone has paid countless lives to gradually understand the law of death desert, and has also summed up two excellent opportunities for treasure hunting. A point in time is the moment when the Death Desert Vision has just erupted, when a large number of treasures erupt from the ground, but the Death Desert at that time is the most dangerous time, not only the terrain is unpredictable, but the dormant beasts will also haunt it, and the slightest carelessness will be lost in it, which can be called nine deaths. ”
"Another point in time is on the eve of the imminent vision of the Dead Desert, when the quicksand in the Dead Desert tends to be still, the terrain of the Dead Desert is not changing, the fierce beasts in it are not hibernating, and the danger in the Dead Desert is also minimized. At this time, a big force like Ling Xiao Pavilion will send some elite teams into the depths of the Dead Desert to dig up legendary treasures. ”
After learning the result, Mu Yang hurriedly thanked him and stepped straight into the city gate.
As soon as you enter the city, the shouts of the vendors can be heard everywhere.
On both sides of the first-order bluestone-paved road in Huangsha City, the shops and stalls are scattered, close to each other. If you haven't seen or heard it yourself, it's hard to imagine that there can be such a weather in the frontier land.
Looking at the noisy scene in the city, the tired body and mind were soothed a little, and Mu Yang was also aroused by the curiosity of the young man, so he simply wandered around.
"Produced by the Dead Desert, it must be genuine, the Dead Desert Divine Soldier that has just been unearthed, take a look, take a look at ......"
"The Encyclopedia of Death can make you 100% avoid death, buying one is not too much, and two copies will make you feel more secure. ”
"Collect enough of all the dead desert genuine products, interested parties please contact our store, long-term validity. ”
After walking around, Muyang gained a lot of knowledge. Rare treasures are rare here, but they are sparse and ordinary, and the death encyclopedia that I just bought is also very interesting, and it also briefly summarizes the experience of some predecessors, which is very important for novices like Muyang who are just dying in the desert.
Just as Muyang was about to find an inn to rest, the crowd in the distance attracted his attention.
Approaching the crowd, the shopkeeper standing on the high platform shouted loudly: "The latest Death Desert revised map is freshly released, don't miss it, just five spirit stones." ”
The shopkeeper in front shouted, and the crowd below also whispered to each other: "This Lingxiao Pavilion is too domineering, not only monopolizing the Dead Desert Map, but also selling five spirit stones, this is simply sucking the blood of our brothers!"
"Shhh, be quiet, don't be heard, who called this Lingxiao Pavilion strength to the sky, brothers still scrape together money, hurry up and buy a map on the road, take advantage of the vision of the first ten years There is still some time to appear, if you are lucky enough to find a treasure, you will make a fortune." ”
After years of practice, Muyang's hearing, which has reached the peak of the Yijin realm, is already beyond mortals, and he understands the cause and effect when he hears the whispers of the crowd.
Mu Yang was overjoyed, and muttered to himself in his heart: "This map of Lingxiao Pavilion is to solve my urgent need, but this price is indeed black-hearted, hurry up and buy a Dead Desert map first and find an inn to rest." ”
In the Shenglan Empire, the spirit stone veins are extremely rare, and an ordinary spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold, and the expenses of ordinary people in a year may not be worth one or two golds.
After lining up in the crowded line, when he waited for him for a while, Mu Yang took out the spirit stone and got the Death Desert map and left in a hurry.
After walking around for a long time, Mu Yang had a preliminary understanding of Huangsha City, after all, Huangsha City is on the border of the empire, and many forces are entrenched here, which makes this Huangsha City very difficult to govern. Therefore, it is not known how much darkness lurks in this prosperous scene.
Inevitably, Mu Yang walked directly towards the direction of the Drunken Immortal Building in Huangsha City, as early as before, Muyang had heard that this Drunken Immortal Building was the safest inn in Huangsha City.
At a glance, the location of the Drunken Immortal Tower is extremely conspicuous, and the luxurious pavilion is located in the center of Huangsha City.
After days of running, the little interest aroused in Huangsha City was gradually suppressed by physical and mental fatigue.
Before entering the gate of the Drunken Immortal Tower, Mu Yang was keenly aware that the guards stationed at the door seemed to have the strength of the Bone Forging Realm.
"This Drunken Immortal Building is really different, but the gate guards have such strength. Mu Yang muttered to himself as he stepped into the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Mu Yang looked at the exquisite decoration in the Drunken Immortal Building, and slowly walked to the counter and said tiredly: "Little Er, open me an upper room." ”
"Okay, this guest officer, you have come to the right place, I don't know if you want to stay for a few days. The counter junior smiled kindly when he saw the guest coming to the door.
Mu Yang didn't know how long it would take to enter the Death Desert to find what he needed, so he simply said, "Let's rent it for a month first." ”
"This guest officer, our Drunken Immortal Building is different from other places, and you need a spirit stone to rent here for a day. Xiao Er reminded heartily.
After hearing Xiao Er's words, Mu Yang had a lot of words in his heart, and he couldn't stand the physical and mental fatigue, so he had no intention of entanglement, so he changed his words: "Then let's stay for a day first." ”
While speaking, Mu Yang handed over the spirit stone, and went down to the rest room under the guidance of the maid on the side.
Sitting cross-legged on the soft bed, Mu Yang held a spirit stone between his palms, as if entering an ethereal realm.
Secretly running the unique secret method of the Divine Technique, Mu Yang's mind tended to be quiet, the whole body became more and more stretched, and the trace of spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone slowly incorporated into the body from the palm of the hand.
You must know that from the beginning of the last generation of Emperor Shenglan, he began to vigorously promote martial arts, and some popular martial arts were opened to the people for free, and over time, a frenzy of martial arts was set off in the empire.
The warriors who had been mysterious earlier gradually entered the people's field of vision, and the warriors in the Shenglan Empire were divided into strong bodies, forging bones, changing tendons, practicing organs, washing marrows, exchanging blood, yin souls, expanding pulses, and penetrating qi realms.
However, the road to martial arts is extremely difficult, in addition to the strong body realm does not need to be consumed, since the forging bone realm from the process of martial arts will continue to consume their own essence and blood, if the body wears out the essence and blood is not replenished in time through tonics, not only the realm is difficult to improve, and even the physical strength will regress.
In this way, even if the Shenglan Empire opened up the martial arts before practicing the Dirty Realm to the people, it was simply a fantasy for ordinary people to delusionally reach the Yijin Realm, and when they really wanted to go further, they could only pledge their allegiance to the many forces in the empire in exchange for the secret method of practicing the Dirty Realm.
