Dead wood and yellow sand

With such a bright eye and such a shallow grass, there is no need to hold a torch high, and there is no need to hit the ground with a wooden pole, which is the obvious difference between the second hurdle and the first hurdle in the sick state.

The first hurdle, whether people are in endless darkness day or night, seduces natural fear from the depths of the human heart.

The second hurdle is like a calm forest next to the village, there is no dark danger only seclusion, and the yellow bird that is singing on the dripping is to the fullest of this bland artistic conception.

It's a pity that these people don't have the cells to appreciate the calming beauty of nature.

Walking forward in silence, without saying anything superfluous. "Bang dang~~Bang dang~~" The gourd that was filled with wine before had been filled with water that had been brought up from the ground by the one-eyed old man, and as a result, he was drunk most of it by the dumb man, and the weak water hyacinth was bumped around the waist of the iron tiger.

The mute was always crazy before, but after entering the second hurdle, he always kept falling asleep. Zhang Xiucai did not complain and carried his brother on his back. "It's good that you don't have to run around. ”

The road beneath their feet was unusually smooth, but the feeling of their feet was noticeably different from before, and the ground was much softer, as if they were stepping on the backs of people or the fur of animals.

They also saw that the landscape in the distance was markedly different from the white-bodied, purple-leaved forest that had just passed. The trees on both sides grew lower, and the dirt on the ground was more sand than dirt. The green on the ground became more and more scarce, gradually replaced by the unique golden yellow of the sand.

"It's... It's the desert!" Zhang Xiucai exclaimed, not because of his deep feelings for the desert, but because of his horror. At the beginning, it was because of the lack of water in his hometown, surrounded by the boundless yellow desert, that he went to a foreign country to beg for a living, but he did not expect to see this kind of scene in this place today, and he did not have the joy of "meeting his old acquaintance in another country" but panicked and afraid.

On the other hand, the military advisor Scar and several of them had very excited expressions, "Wow!

"The front should be the desert that the old ancestors said, I don't know how far the road ahead will be, but after the desert and a forest, it will be almost out of the second hurdle of the sick state. I heard that you can see the people of Sick State City when you are in the third hurdle of Sick State. ”

Hearing this, everyone was excited, and the horror in Zhang Xiucai's heart was replaced by joy.

The one-eyed old man nodded.

The military advisor called Fan Zhao an ancestor because the military advisor Li Ding did have some blood relationship with Fan Zhao and Fan Yuexian; Scar called Fan Zhao an ancestor because Fan Zhao not only had a white beard and a fairy wind bone, but also because he did have an incredible immortal skill.

"Ancestors" and "immortals" can't tell the difference between the two just by hearing by ear, One-Eyed and Six-Fingered only know that Li Ding is handsome, and Li Ding is a wanted criminal. But for them, it's not a big deal, the reason why the Witch God Sect let Li Ding come here is just because Li Ding's martial arts are strong and can act as a bodyguard along the way.

When they selected a group of people to come, they didn't investigate the three generations of their clan, so they didn't figure out the relationship between Li Ding and Jiefeng, the purpose of Li Ding's coming to the sick state, and they didn't expect to meet the "Sixth Senior Uncle" that Fan Yuexian hadn't seen for a long time, nor did they expect that Uncle Fan would open an immortal cave for these.

The method of opening the immortal acupoint is that there are very few people who know the method of opening the acupoint in vitro in Liuxian Mountain, so when the one-eyed old man, six fingers, and open the door saw that the prison clothes on Dan Wumao's body were surrounded by charcoal and gray, they thought that they were being pranked by someone.

When the color presented in front of everyone's eyes was only a piece of golden, they had entered the hinterland of the desert, and the sunset at this time had already set westward, and the original golden Rujian had turned into a romantic rose red, and the heaven and earth had become so vast and unified, all glowing with a light red light. The surrounding black branches are low, with no leaves and only bare branches, like peach trees in winter. Now they are like steel forks sticking out of the ground.

But in Zhang Xiucai's eyes, this is clearly the color of blood, and the few of them are like a small boat drifting in the sea of blood. There is a danger of being overturned by the waves at any time.

Because only those who have lived in the desert will know how terrible the desert night is. The temperature difference between day and night can kill people, scorpions and ants hiding in sand burrows, and I heard that there is also the king of beasts in the desert, the wolf of the desert.

"Old man, let's rest here. I'm so tired, it's as hot during the day as it is in the summer with a stove. I'm still staring at a certain mink hat on my head, and I'm almost tired of becoming a dog. As soon as you hear this loud and slightly hoarse emphasis, you know it's a scar.

"Big man, you're tired and talking so much nonsense!" Only Wu Sande dared to be so unkind to Scar.

Chirp~~Chirp~~ The lazy sable sable on Scar's head kept stomping around Scar's head as if he heard someone reproaching him.

The one-eyed old man glanced up at the evening view of the setting sun, "I can't get out of this wasteland today." We're here tonight......"

Before the one-eyed old man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Xiucai. "Grandpa... Grandfather... The desert is the most dangerous time at night, and we still... Let's go a little further. ”

The one-eyed old man hesitated a little, and looked at Zhang Xiucai, whose face was sweating and his lips were dry, "Xiucai, you have been carrying your brother for a day, you should thank you." Spend the night here tonight, I guarantee your safety. ”

"It's... All right. ”

"We're going to spend the night here tonight, and when you open the door, you and them pick up more branches, and we'll make a fire." ”

When the door was opened, the master answered, and went to the tree next to him to bend the branches, and the others who could still move were embarrassed to just stand. "Oops~~Oops~~" Time twisted the branches, but the branches were as hard as steel bars, the scar pulled the branches, and the limbs were hanging on the head, but the black branches had realized the "hardness and unyielding".

The immortal cultivator couldn't open the door, shaking his head, and only used the military advisor to reluctantly use the dagger to cut off some branches with the thickness of wooden branches. Now it seems that there is nothing that can be done to bend the branches, so we have to see if a few people can dig up a whole low black tree.

As the sun slowly set westward, the black trees here slowly shrank into the ground as if they were being pulled by a thread tied to the other side of the sky.

"Oh my boy, why don't the trees go down here!"

"Second brother, you look dazzled!" Mi Bufan said and felt that the tree in front of him was a little lower, and a little lower. "Oops~~ This tree will really sink!

Papapa~~~ Six Fingers hurriedly used his bone whip to swing it, breaking the trunk of the tree that his one-foot-long bone whip could touch. It is impossible to expect them to be so efficient, waiting for them to grind, they will definitely freeze into popsicles tonight, and he has also learned the cold of the desert night, I really don't know if taking them is a helper or a burden.

"Bring the branches!"
