Chapter 177: Above the Desert
At this time, everyone was also shocked that Ye Suiyun's condition was different, and they all stopped and gathered around. Ye Suiyun was helped off the camel by Tang Xiyao, sat cross-legged, and dived to breathe. How did he know that instead of getting better, it became more and more serious, and the whole person was almost collapsed, leaning on Tang Xiyao's arm, trembling all over. The crowd was stunned by this sudden situation and did not know what to do. You must know that Ye Suiyun's internal cultivation at this time should not invade with all kinds of poisons and diseases. Tang Xiyao couldn't find the cause for a while, so she was in a hurry, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
At this time, I heard someone humming a ballad not far away, and everyone followed the sound and saw that it was the fisherman on the lakeside.
I only heard him sing: "The cold moon is covered with clouds and several veils, and when the wind passes, it is still in the sky." The autumn twilight is warm, and the lonely glow falls, but the sound is found. If you want to find thousands of mountains, you can't understand the towers. The rivers and lakes are exhausted, people are wandering, and the lonely shadow is restored. Looking at the world, the sky is sevenfold, and the long river is sparkling. With the singing, Ye Suiyun magically calmed down, the expression on his face was not as painful as before, and his breath gradually slowed down.
The angler finished singing, glanced back at the water, and then turned his gaze back to the water. Leng Xiaoxiao saw him from a distance and seemed to have a hint of a smile, thinking back to the ballad of Shicai, which had a good meaning. Thinking about Ye Suiyun's situation again, his heart moved slightly, and he secretly thought that he was afraid that he would meet a master today. He stepped forward and clenched his fists and said, "Dare to ask Mr. . ”
The angler said, "I didn't expect his reaction to be so strong, it was really unexpected." He is still young, and he has already cultivated such skills, which is amazing. ”
Leng Xiaoxin was shocked and asked, "I don't understand it very well, sir, is it because my friend is so seriously ill because his internal cultivation is too high?" ”
The angler smiled: "Of course, my Beidou Heavenly Ring is not something that anyone can sense." ”
The wild goose in the distance was so anxious that he only vaguely heard the two of them talking, and immediately rushed forward, drew his long sword, pointed at the angler, and said, "Did you harm my friend like this?" Leng Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Yan must not be reckless. ”
The angler glanced at it and asked, "Are you from the Pure Yang Palace?" ”
Yan Wuwu said angrily: "What's the matter, let me ask you, what did you do?" ”
"Who is your master?" The angler ignored him and continued to ask.
"You don't care." Goose worry-free road.
The angler said: "Draw the sword and shake your wrist gently, and hold the sword downward, it seems that you are a disciple who has forgotten your life." Hey, really, his own problems have not changed, and they have all been passed on to his apprentices. ”
Yan Wuwu was dumbfounded, the other party guessed his master just by drawing his sword, and even more, listening to his tone, the master seemed to be his junior, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
It's no wonder that Yan Wuwu is angry, you must know that Li Wusheng, the head of Chunyang, is more than seventy years old, and his status in the martial arts is so respected, and his seniority is high, and everyone admires him. In today's world, only a few people such as the abbot of Shaolin can be compared with their peers. For example, Qixiu Ye Zhiqing, Tiance Li Chengen, Tangmen Tang Aotian and others can only be regarded as his juniors, so above the rivers and lakes, no matter how crazy people are, they will never dare to call them by a single name.
The angler in front of him was only about fifty years old, and he dared to call the name of the master, and Yan Wuwu said angrily: "Show your weapon." ”
The angler shook his head lightly and said: "Too void sword intent, concentrating on Taoguang, relying on the wind to control the sky, you are hard all over, that has a little bit of too empty meaning." As soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a soft sound, and Yan Wuwu's hand was empty, and the sword was in the other party's hand. I saw the angler gently swing the Ling Xiao Sword and slowly turn three circles above his head. Although these three laps of movement were unusually slow, everyone, including the three porters who were not skilled in martial arts, felt that the sword intent was already permeated all around, fluctuating layer by layer, and rolling non-stop.
The goose was stunned, knowing that it would be easy for the other party to take the life of anyone present at this time. I saw the angler gently holding the sword, slowly raising his arm until it was at eye level, and after a moment of silence, he slightly provoked the tip of the sword, making a jingling sound, which was extremely crisp and stirred far away. Then he threw the sword back at Yan Wuwu, laughed, and turned away with the fishing rod.
The goose came back to his senses and wanted to catch up, but the angler was long gone.
Yan Wuwu stared at the long sword in his hand blankly, Leng Xiaoxiao walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This trick alone is enough for you to use for a lifetime." ”
Yan Wuwu said with emotion: "I really never dreamed that there would be such a realm of martial arts in the world, who is he?" ”
"Can't you think of it?" Leng Xiaoxiao asked.
Seeing that Yan Wuwu was surprised, Leng Xiaoxiao said again: "This Beidou Heavenly Ring's gust is said to be cultivated by only one person in the world. ”
"You... You mean... Yan Wuwu's face was full of disbelief.
"That's right, it's your ancestor, the Lu Immortal who founded the Pure Yang Palace." Leng Xiaodao: "Otherwise, who would dare to call the name of the respected teacher like this." Yan Wuwu opened his mouth several times, unable to speak, but his forehead was sweating. Looking back again, I saw Ye Suiyun's eyes closed, and at this time, he was on Tang Xiyao's lap, already asleep.
Out of the Yumen Pass, the surrounding green traces gradually disappeared, and after walking for three days, the eyes became endless yellow sand. Ye Suiyun was always unconscious, and was placed on the board of the car where the water was put and was taken care of by Tang Xiyao. The goose drove the camel alone, silently walking in front of the team and thinking about something. Leng Xiaoxiao patted his camel, followed, and said, "Look at your appearance, are you still thinking about the past?" ”
Yan Wuwu said: "That... That person is really my ancestor. Lu... Lu Dongbin? ”
Leng Xiaoxiao didn't answer yet, Xiao Ning'er behind her also came closer, and said angrily: "Even I am convinced, as a pure yang disciple, what else is there to be vague about." That sword technique is not something that mortals can use at all. ”
Murong Yunqing also joined in, pointed at Ye Suiyun who was lying on the cart, and said, "You carefreeman, you've been thinking about it for a few days, haven't you figured it out yet?" A person sat still with his back to Xiao Yunzi, and he was stunned when he was still far away, do ordinary people have this ability? ”
Hearing what Murong Yunqing said, Xiao Ning'er also remembered it, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, I heard you mention the Beidou Heavenly Ring, what kind of kung fu is this, why is there nothing wrong with me and a few others?" ”
Leng Xiaoxiao said: "I've never seen it either, but I heard that this Beidou Heavenly Ring is the supreme method of Taoism, and it seems to be something between internal strength and true qi." It is a kind of gust qi produced by the cultivation of Taoist internal force to the top. With the cultivator as the center, one can sense everything around him, and the deeper the cultivation level, the wider the scope. And it has a strong protective effect on cultivators. ”
"Guarding?" Xiao Ning'er asked.
"Yes, do you think it's Lu Xianren who is targeting Brother Ye? That's wrong. It's because among us, Brother Ye is the only one who can pose a threat to the Lu Immortals. The gust qi of the Beidou Heavenly Ring will only take effect when it senses this. Therefore, at that time, Lu Xian would praise Brother Ye for having such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. Leng Xiaoxiao pointed to Tamu who was driving the car behind him, and said, "For example, if Tamu's martial arts cultivation is the same as Brother Ye's, then there will be the same reaction at that time." ”
After hearing this, Murong Yunqing was speechless: "That is to say, for the Lu Immortals, we are too ordinary. I don't even have the qualifications to induce the Heavenly Ring,"
Leng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Although it is frustrating, it is true. So, carefree son, don't doubt his identity. ”
Yan Wuwu nodded and said: "Actually, when I saw the 'Tai Chi Wuji' sword move of my master, I didn't have the slightest suspicion, but I couldn't figure out why his appearance looked so much younger than my master." ”
Leng Xiaoxiao groaned: "There have long been rumors on the rivers and lakes that Lu Dongbin has a glimpse of the law of heaven and earth, and has become an immortal and no longer exists in the world. I think it's nonsense. Cheng Xianyi said that it is illusory, but it may not be true, but if the internal strength is cultivated to a very high level, it has the power of prolonging life and even slowing down aging. Looking at his appearance and behavior today, it confirms this conjecture. ”
Yan Wuwu suddenly said: "When I go back and tell the master that I have seen the master, I don't know how he and the uncles will react." Several people laughed when they heard what he said funny.
Suddenly, Tamu pointed to the distance and shouted in a trembling voice: "Huang... Yellow sandstorm. Looking in the direction he pointed, the distance was the boundary between the desert and the sky, and at this time, the gray sky was gray, and the blue sky that was still clearly visible disappeared. It's as if someone had covered the sky with a cloth. What's even more terrifying is that the gray cloth seems to be slowly approaching this way.
Murong Yunqing's face showed fear, and he asked tremblingly, "What... What is a Sandstorm? ”
When he turned his head, he saw that Tamu had already dragged the camel towards the sand dunes not far away, and shouted, "Are you still stunned, waiting for death?" The people woke up from a dream and hurried their mounts to follow. When he arrived at the sand dunes, Tamu hurriedly commanded a dry of camels to lie down in a circle. Everyone gathered in the middle, desperately dug a shallow pit in the ground, drew everyone to hide in it, and then used the car board and other objects to cover it.
As soon as they were hidden, there was a loud bang, and a strong wind hit their heads, and Leng Xiaoxiao and the others felt that the car plate and oilcloth above their heads were pulled by a huge force, and they almost had to get rid of it. The yellow sand was whirring in the sky, like some monster was calling in everyone's ears. Everyone was prostrate on the ground with their shoulders and backs, struggling to resist the might of heaven and earth. Tang Xiyao, who was crowded in the middle, used all the strength of his body to desperately hug the unconscious Ye Suiyun and didn't dare to let go.
I don't know how long it took, but the wind and sand gradually stopped, and finally dispersed. Yan Wuwu and Leng Xiaoxiao took the lead in getting up, and hurriedly dug out the rest of the people buried under the sand. Everyone was covered with sand, and the original color of the clothes on their bodies had all turned into a uniform yellow. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you can barely tell who is who, and you can't help laughing. Tang Xiyao dusted the sand grains off Ye Suiyuntou's face, and was relieved to see that he was still sleeping peacefully as usual.
Several camels were blown to pieces, from different distances, standing or lying in various places. The three of them recovered all the camels, only to find that two were missing. The food and water that had been carried on the camels had also been lost.
Leng Xiaoxiao looked at Tamu's brows, and he was deeply worried, and stepped forward to ask. Tamu then told the crowd. In the desert, it is very dangerous to be cut off from drinking water. At present, it is too late to return, so I can only speed up my pace, hoping to get to the nearest Longmen Town as soon as possible. But if you follow the established direction, it will take five days at the earliest, so you have to change the route and take a shortcut, which is expected to arrive in three days.
Everyone naturally has no objections, although they are all experienced in the martial arts, but in this desert of thousands of miles of yellow sand, they are as ignorant as newborn children. Coupled with the terrifying sandstorm you just experienced, you all know that without the help of an experienced guide like Tamu, no matter how high your martial arts are, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave alive. It's just that everyone doesn't understand why they don't take it in the morning when they have a shortcut, but they have to go around in a big circle. Leng Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was confused, and signaled that there was no need to ask more, but saw that Tamu's expression was quite worried, as if he was worried about what danger would be on the road.
Life and death are at stake, the process is speeding up, and there is no intention to say much on the way, just silently hurrying. After all, everyone is a martial arts practitioner, and they can still hold on without eating or drinking for a day and a night. The next day by noon, the sun was fierce, and Tang Xiyao and Murong Yunqing were already a little overwhelmed. Murong Yunqing kept chattering about drinking water, Tang Xiyao's face was pale and he didn't say a word. After Leng Xiaoxiao found out, he knew that the second daughter's internal strength was weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.
When he was worried, he suddenly heard a cry for help, and when he looked up, he saw a person not far away running desperately, coming towards him. Looking at the dust behind the man more than ten feet away, it turned out that there were several people riding horses chasing after him.
After seeing it clearly, Yan Wuwu said, "I'll go save him." After saying that, he jumped off the camel and was about to catch up, but he was stopped by Tamu and said in a trembling voice: "Don't. Don't go. That.. That's the Blue Wolves. We're in for a catastrophe. ”
A few people looked at it, and sure enough, behind the chasing horses, there were still many cart boards, all with flagpoles on them, and from a distance, each flag was painted with a black wolf's head. Leng Xiaoxiao asked, "What is the Blue Wolf Gang?" ”
Tamu said: "In the desert leading to the Western Regions, horse thieves are rampant, especially the Sand Fox Gang, the Blue Wolf Gang, the Stone Camel Gang, and the Iron Horse Gang are the four most powerful. Among the four gangs, the Blue Wolf Gang is the most ferocious, and the gang leader Jiang Rong is known as 'a gust of wind in the desert', ruthless and never leaves a living mouth. Tamu said to Leng Xiaoxiao: "My lord, when we encounter these evil stars, we are only afraid of bad luck." It's all my fault, knowing that this road belongs to the territory of the Blue Wolf Gang, so I shouldn't have brought you to die, even if I died of thirst and starvation on the road, but it's a pity that these three girls... He kept shaking his head.
After hearing this, Yan Wuwu smiled and said, "Uncle Tamu, do you know who we are?" ”
Tamu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Leng Xiaodao: "Tao Zhifu said that this lord is a big official in the court, and the rest of you are his friends, so naturally they are all nobles." ”
Yan Wuwu rolled up his two sleeves and said, "That's right, since Lao Tzu is a nobleman, he naturally can't be bullied." I was thirsty and hungry, my heart was depressed, and I had no place to vent, and these bunnies were sent to the door. His words only frightened Tamu dumbfounded, looking at his posture, it seemed that he was going to fight with the horse thief, and secretly thought that this person could not stand the hunger and thirst, and lost his mind and went crazy.
At this time, the fleeing man had already come to the crowd, fell down, lay on the ground and gasped for breath, and cried for help: "Help, help." ”
