Chapter 122: The Great Desert of Silence
At this time, Xu Ping and his party had come to a foreign country, where the race, language and living habits were very different from those in the Central Plains, but fortunately, there were people here who understood their language, so as not to make Xu Ping feel very embarrassed.
After the battle, it was repaired for a while, and after the grandmaster of the Qingyun Sect recovered, he continued to walk west.
In the next ten days, the road was relatively peaceful, and no one continued to chase them, and it is estimated that the people in Devil City were killed and injured by them, and they were frightened, and they did not dare to send people to chase them in the future.
When Xu Ping and his party reached the edge of the desert, they had to stop. Without adequate food and water, it would be impossible to cross this endless desert. And most importantly, you must have a guide to lead the way, otherwise you will quickly lose your way in the desert and eventually die of thirst and starvation.
After stopping, the crowd began to replenish food and buy items that could be used in the desert.
In addition to this, find a qualified guide.
Under the heavy bounty, Su Haicheng found a guide named Deba, about fifty or sixty years old, who had traveled through the desert countless times, knowing that there were sandstorms, where there was a place to rest, and a lake to replenish water.
It's just that his asking price is very high, at least three hundred gold can be the guide of Xu Ping and his party, Su Haicheng didn't hesitate at all, and agreed on the spot.
Three hundred gold, for ordinary people, may be a lot, but for the Su family, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Under the leadership of Deba's guide, Xu Ping and his party passed through the desert smoothly and reached the other side of the desert.
Here, there is a crystal clear lake, as well as an endless meadow, and herds of cattle and sheep are grazing on the grass, which makes Xu Ping and his party directly stunned.
The local herdsmen were very kind, and the young girls were beautiful and charming, but they couldn't stop everyone from going to Xianyuan City, and after a few days of rest, they continued to set off.
A month later, arrive at the Dark Forest......
Two months later, on the Tamir Plateau, Xu Ping and his party encountered a mutated Xuan Snake Demon Beast, and the three innate martial artists shot together, which was enough to cover everyone to escape from the pursuit of the demon beast, but at the same time they lost five or six people, which was the second highest mortality rate since the departure of Baishui City.
Three months later, when they arrived at the Silent Desert, they had to stop, because the Silent Desert was different from the two deserts they had passed through in the past, there were violent tornadoes and sandstorms all year round, only the spring and summer were separated by a month, and the wind and sand would be relatively weakened, giving people the opportunity to pass through the Silent Desert.
It was currently around April, and there was still a month or two to wait for that opportunity, so Xu Ping and his party could only temporarily live on the edge of the silent desert.
When they lived not long after, they found that a lot of strangers had come here, and Xu Ping and the others could guess that these people wanted to go to Xianyuan City through the Silent Desert without asking.
And there were not only mortals who were stopped by the silent desert, but also some people from the Xiuxian family, among these people, Xu Ping saw the people of the Xu family's Xiuxian family, and also saw a woman who had a relationship with each other.
"Little brother, let's meet again!"
Xu Ping didn't want to meet Duan Qinghong, but they actually lived in the same inn as Xu Ping, so he looked down and didn't look up, and accidentally met him when he went out.
After Duan Qinghong and Xu Ping finished greeting him, they didn't continue to look at him, but stared at Fei'er behind Xu Ping, as if they wanted to find something special from Fei'er's body.
"Little girl, what's your last name? What is your name? ”
"Sister, my name is Fei'er, and my surname is Yang."
"Surname Yang? Don't you have the last name? ”
"I don't have the surname Duan, my surname is Yang!" Fei'er was frightened by Duan Qinghong's loud questioning and hurriedly hid behind Xu Ping.
"Miss Duan, Fei'er is still young, please don't talk to her loudly, you will scare her like this!"
Xu Ping immediately stood up and stopped Duan Qinghong's actions.
"I didn't scare her, I just wanted to ask her a few words."
"Miss Duan, we still have something to do now, please don't stop us!" Xu Ping didn't want to talk to Duan Qinghong, so he hurriedly took Fei'er and Qiao'er and left, trying to stay away from her as much as possible.
Watching Xu Ping and the others go away, Duan Qinghong fell into deep thought, although she had investigated in Qinan City for a while, but she got very little news, when Duan Tianya was alive, someone had seen him holding a little girl, about two or three years old, it was said to be his biological daughter, but the name was unknown, and she didn't even know who the little girl's mother was?
On the day that the city of Qi Nan was broken, there was a woman who accompanied Duan Tianya to die together at the gate of the city, she must be Duan Tianya's closest person, since the death of the two people, the only daughter did not know where to go, Duan Qinghong searched for many days without any clues.
After seeing Xu Ping today, it suddenly dawned on me, is this little girl Duan Tianya's daughter?
However, the little girl denies her surname Duan.
Just when she was puzzled, a woman in a Tsing Yi Taoist robe came behind her, "Are you sure she is from the Duan family?" ”
"It's kind of like that, but the last name doesn't match."
"As long as you are sure that it is, you don't have to worry about anything else, when you get to Xianyuan City, as long as you give the little girl a bloodline test, you can determine whether she is from the Duan family."
"It would be great to be able to test that she is a member of the Duan family!" Duan Qinghong was very happy in her heart, even the woman in the Tsing Yi Taoist robe was the same, she originally thought that the task delivered by Senior Sister Duan had been lost, but who would have thought that now there was another village, which made her see the hope that the task was about to be completed again.
Xu Ping took Fei'er and Qiao'er out, and didn't want to go back to the inn, but then he thought about it, if the three of them hid out, wouldn't this just expose Fei'er's identity?
As a last resort, the three of them returned to the inn again.
When they came back, they found that Duan Qinghong was no longer chasing after Fei'er and was no longer interested in it, which made him even more worried, as if something big was going to happen.
Fortunately, nothing happened after that, and after Xu Ping was worried for a while, he slowly relaxed.
A month or two is a long time, but it's also short.
Soon, the time came to pass through the silent desert.
When the winds and sand of the Silent Desert began to weaken, someone began to move, and soon the passage of the Silent Desert was crowded with many camels, convoys and pedestrians.
Xu Ping roughly estimated that there were no less than two or three thousand people, maybe in two days, there may be more.
"Let's go!"
With an order, some people couldn't bear it anymore, and the first one rushed into the vast sea of sand, and the people behind were not far behind, and slowly rode their camels into the desert.
Xu Ping and his party followed, and they were accompanied by people from the Duan family, a team of about fifty or sixty people.
