Chapter 12: Lost in the Sand Sea
Wei Yixian, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, opened his eyes when he heard this, smiled slightly and said, "If you want to know why, don't you know if you try it?" β
"Try what?" Zuo Songchan was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically.
"Shuttle!" Wei Yixian pretended to be mysterious, "Just give them the means to see Taoism again." β
"Try it, just try it." When Zuo Songchan heard this, he felt that Wei Yixian must have something to say, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he took out a shuttle from the storage ring, turned into a size of more than two zhang in length, and hung next to it.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Songchan's mind moved, the hatch on the side of the shuttle slowly opened, and Zuo Songchan walked in with his head held high.
The next moment, a ball of light lit up behind the shuttle, and it rose from the ground with a whoosh, leaving the oasis and flying into the distance.
Zuo Songchan drove the shuttle forward, and in the screen in front of him, the sand dunes retreated rapidly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is the speed that should be!" Ride a sand camel beast every day, slow as a king...... There's nothing special about that, is it? It's a fool......"
After a while, Zuo Songchan controlled the shuttle to make a sharp U-turn, found the location of the oasis on the ground and flew back.
"I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary! Wei Yixian, where are we going? I think let's take us on a shuttle! Waiting for the shuttle, Zuo Songchan said.
"Poof......" Han Ling'er, who was beside Qu Wuming, covered her mouth and smiled, threw a shadow stone at Zuo Songchan and said, "The performance just now was good!" Those guys are applauding you! β
Zuo Songchan took the Xuanying Stone with a confused expression, and slightly injected a trace of mana to urge it, and a light curtain immediately shot out from the Xuanying Stone, and the scene inside was exactly the scene from here. In the image, a shuttle flies around the sky like a headless flyβrather, like a fly staring at this oasis, and barely a moment in a straight line.
"This ......" Zuo Songchan was stunned, "Obviously I fly in a straight line, could it be that the steering function of the shuttle is broken?" β
"Your shuttle isn't broken!" Wei Yixian said with a smile, "Do you know that this desert in the depths of the Hanhai Desert once had another name?" β
"What's the name?"
"Lost in the sea of sand." Wei Yixian stroked his beard and said, "It's just that it's been too long since there have been cultivators entering this Hanhai Desert, and everyone has almost forgotten this name." β
"Lost in the sea of sand?" It's not just that Zuo Songchan has never heard of this name, but even Qu Wuming, who has always boasted of being well-informed, has never heard of it.
"Well, there is a special energy in the ground here, no one knows what it is, but it can not only affect all kinds of flying treasures, even if the cultivator himself flies in the sky, it is difficult to keep moving in a straight line, as if the part of his head responsible for judging the direction has been blinded." Wei Yixian stroked his beard with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other, "You can say that, but if you have a little mana, don't want to fly in a straight line here." β
"I see!"
"Sure enough, it's the creation of heaven and earth, it's so magical!"
Everyone sighed.
"No, when we kill the sand thieves, my flying sword is like a finger!" Zuo Songchan suddenly shouted.
"What can you see from that distance?" Wei Yixian said, "Don't believe it, you try again?" β
"Then try again!" Zuo Songchan was really interested, and before the words fell, a white light had shot out from his fingertips, heading straight for a dead tree dozens of feet away.
However, when the white light flew out for more than thirty feet, it somehow suddenly turned around and plunged headlong into the sand dunes next to it.
"It's kind of interesting, indeed." Zuo Songchan smiled, and with a move of his hand, the yellow sand in the sand dunes surged, and a sharp small sword flew out and flew back into his hand crookedly.
At this time, Wei Yixian continued on the side: "The scope and intensity of the influence of this Lost Sand Sea do not seem to be fixed, sometimes it covers almost the entire desert, and sometimes it can only affect a part of the area. So, if you want to go to the place that the owner of the black jade order requires, you can only rely on your legs. In addition, if you go further, you had better take out the weapons and magic weapons in your hands in advance and carry them on your back, and the same is true for the healing and life-saving elixirs, take them out in advance and put them on your body, don't put them in the storage ring anymore. β
"Why?"
"You'll find out in a few days." Wei Yixian smiled and said, "Anyway, it's right to do what the old man said!" β
"Then you give us a calculation, what is there in the place where we are going?" Qu Wuming said suddenly.
"How does this count?!" When Wei Yixian heard this, he almost pulled off a few of his beards, "Didn't the old man say it, I have already changed my profession, and I don't tell my life!" β
"Pure nonsense, how can you show us the way after you don't tell your fortune?" Qu is nameless.
"Uncle Qu, I beg you...... Don't pull me to tell your fortune...... I don't know how many times I can tell fortunes and fortunes a day, I'm going crazy......" Wei Yixian was defeated and begged for mercy.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't talk about it today, I won't talk about it. Huh? The meat over there is ready! Let's go, eat meat and drink wine! Qu Wuming snorted, laughed and pulled Wei Yixian up, and went straight to the barbecue......
β¦β¦
Three nights later.
A bright moon hung quietly in the night sky, sprinkling the silver moonlight all over the desert, making the desert appear colder at night.
In the midst of the rolling sand dunes, there is a camp of more than a dozen tents. It was late at night, and some of the tents around the camp were already snoring, while others were silent. Several carts surrounded the city in a semicircle, and in the semicircle, twenty-one sand camels were lying on the ground with their legs bent on each other, and they were also sleeping peacefully with their eyes closed.
The campfire in the middle of the camp was not vigorous, the firewood inside had long since burned to a dark red charcoal, and only a faint flame swayed gently with the cool night breeze, which seemed to be ready to be extinguished at any moment. Around the campfire, a man in a yellow robe was sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed.
Tonight, he will be on duty.
At this time, suddenly a shadow opened a tent and walked out, the man by the bonfire raised his eyelids slightly, and saw that it was Tong Xiangyu, the shopkeeper of the Juxian Inn, so he closed his eyes again.
Tong Xiangyu also looked at Yue Huaqun by the bonfire from a distance, and felt a trace of relief in her heart for no reason. Tong Xiangyu recalled the scene when these cultivators killed the sand thieves that day, and once again felt that it was not bad to have these cultivators in the team, at least when they were vigil, the team would definitely be much safer than ordinary people like themselves when they were vigiling, even if they encountered the sand thieves who sneaked in, it was just a matter of a snap of their fingers.
Tong Xiangyu looked around, and saw that there was no one else except Yue Huaqun, who was on duty by the campfire, so he turned his head and walked towards the depths of the sand dune. Tong Xiangyu knew that the cultivator's ears and eyes were sensitive, and he was going to climb over a few more sand dunes and find a secret place to facilitate it.
After hurriedly solving the internal emergency, Tong Xiangyu fastened her belt and got up to return, but she didn't expect that she had just climbed over a sand dune, but there was a figure beside her, and there were more people on the ground!
"Who?!" Tong Xiangyu was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and with a quick sound, she pulled out the sword in her waist and pointed it at the other party.
"Don't be afraid, it's me!"
Tong Xiangyu looked at it, and it turned out to be Yue Huaqun.
"It's Daoist Yue!" Tong Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief and put down the long sword, "I'm scared to death!" β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared the shopkeeper Tong, it's someone Yue's fault! I hope the shopkeeper Tong will forgive me! Yue Huaqun said with a smile.
"It's fine. Didn't Daoist Yue keep vigil over there? How did you get here? Tong Xiangyu quietly took half a step back, keeping a distance from Yue Huaqun, who came forward.
"Shopkeeper Tong has not returned for a long time, Yue can't rest assured, so he came to take a look."
"There is Lao Yue Dao Chang worried! I'm fine, we can go back. Tong Xiangyu bowed slightly, took a few wrong steps to the side, turned around and walked towards the camp.
Yue Huaqun seemed to have only taken one step, but he blocked in front of Tong Xiangyu at the next moment, with a strange smile on his face, and an unconcealable longing in his eyes: "Shopkeeper Tong, since they have all come out, why don't you go back happily with someone Yue?" β
"You! ......" Tong Xiangyu has long been accustomed to the hidden ulterior desires hidden in the eyes of these men who secretly look at him on weekdays, but Tong Xiangyu also knows that Yue Huaqun is no different from many people, and there have been many inadvertent glances before, which have long exposed Yue Huaqun's inner thoughts. However, this Yue Huaqun always looks like a sanctimonious and humble gentleman on weekdays, and Tong Xiangyu really didn't expect that this guy would be so bold after taking off his disguise. But Tong Xiangyu also knew that this Yue Huaqun was a cultivator in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, and even if he tried his best, he was afraid that he would not be an opponent, so he had to take two steps back and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Yue, I have to continue to walk together tomorrow, and please be respectful." β
"It's okay, everyone has been working hard these days, and it's very boring. The moonlight is just right tonight, if you and I don't have a good time, wouldn't it be a waste of this beautiful day? Besides, if you and I have achieved good deeds, I will naturally defend you all the time along the way, and I will never let you be hurt in the slightest. With that, Yue Huaqun had already stepped forward again, reaching out to grab Tong Xiangyu's waist.
"If you dare to take another half step forward, don't blame me for being rude!" Tong Xiangyu retreated suddenly, and the sword in his hand was already against Yue Huaqun's chest.
"Oh?" Yue Huaqun looked down at the sword that shimmered with cold light, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile, "Beauty, do you know why I didn't just use the Heavenly Eye Technique to restrain you?" Because it's interesting enough to resist like you! β
"You're looking for death!" Tong Xiangyu was not an indecisive person, seeing Yue Huaqun's fearless appearance, he instantly made up his mind in his heart, and as soon as the sword in his hand was handed forward, he wanted to kill this madman on the spot.
Who knows, at this time, the sword seemed to be imprisoned in the air by something, no matter how hard Tong Xiangyu tried, it didn't move at all! Not only that, but even the hand that holds the sword seems to be firmly attached to the hilt of the sword......
