284, Ten Thousand Miles of Wild Sand (4)
The sky is bright and the warm sunlight shines on the oasis, making people feel warm and comfortable.
At this time, Xiaofeng slowly opened her eyes, enjoying the first rays of sunshine in the morning, and felt a little more lucky in addition to the warmth.
"Today's sun is so warm and comfortable!" An intoxicated smile flashed on Xiao Feng's face.
"Are you awake?" At this time, Li Ling was standing by the lake, looking at the entire oasis from afar.
"Hmm!" Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Big brother, didn't you sleep?" ”
"Get used to it!" Li Ling replied lightly, and continued: "Xiaofeng, as soon as the sky dawned just now, I had already seen it, there was no one else on this oasis, and there were very high sand dunes on all sides of this oasis, so this oasis was very secretive and would not be discovered by anyone. ”
"Big brother, will we leave now? We've been delayed for a long time, and it would be very bad if someone had preempted us. ”
Li Ling shook his head slowly and said, "I don't think it's necessary!" ”
"Why?" Xiaofeng wondered.
Li Ling slowly turned around, with a hint of helplessness and a wry smile on his face, and said, "Xiaofeng, if I guessed correctly, this should be the core area of the Wild Sand." ”
"What? Over here? Xiao Feng exclaimed: "Impossible, we fell into the quicksand, delayed for almost a whole day, how could we arrive at the core of the ten thousand miles of sand in advance?" ”
"Nothing is impossible!" Li Ling said helplessly: "If I am not wrong, the underground river we inadvertently fell into should have extended from the periphery of the desert to the core of the desert, so we floated in the river all night, but we arrived here first." ”
"But how can the eldest brother be so sure?" Xiaofeng asked.
At this time, Li Ling gently raised his left hand, a black ring was emitting a misty red light, but in the center of the ring, a circle of blood-red filaments appeared, which was very weird.
"This is ......" Xiao Feng said in surprise: "Isn't this blood pattern ring transformed by a blood sword?" ”
Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because of the abnormal transformation of the ring turned into this blood sword that I am more sure that this is the core of the desert. ”
Then, Li Ling sighed and continued: "Originally, when I first entered Tianmen Town, I found that the blood sword in Xin'er's body gradually appeared in an unstable state, as if it was slowly waking up. Later, when I came to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Miles of Wild Sand, the fluctuations of the blood sword became stronger and stronger, and after I entered the Ten Thousand Miles of Wild Sand, as I continued to advance, the blood sword also began to be restless, and the more I went to the core, the more uncontrollable the blood sword became. ”
"What does the eldest brother mean that the Blood Sword has a reaction to this ten thousand miles of wild sand?" Xiaofeng wondered.
"No, it's not a reaction to the wild sand, it's a reaction to that dungeon in the desert." Subsequently, Li Ling continued: "The blood sword in my hand was originally a treasure flying out of the underground palace, and today, when the blood sword returns to its hometown, of course I am starting to get excited. That dungeon is like the home of the blood sword, and now the power in the blood sword is restless, obviously summoned by the dungeon. Therefore, I am very sure that this place must not be far from the place where the underground palace is born, and since this is the case, then this must be the core area of the ten thousand miles of wild sand. ”
"Did the eldest brother already know that the blood sword could lead the way, so he dared to take a risk and enter the wild sand in advance."
Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed a little sure." The blood sword is indeed one of the reasons why I dare to enter the ten thousand miles of wild sand alone in advance, in the ten thousand miles of wild sand, the wind does not stop, the direction is not clear, if it is not for the guidance of the blood sword, it is difficult for me to move forward. ”
Xiao Feng really understood at this time, it turned out that Li Ling had a plan in his heart, and he dared to enter the Ten Thousand Miles of Wild Sand in advance because of his strong body and blood sword to lead the way.
At this time, Xiaofeng continued to ask: "Then why didn't the eldest brother tell me last night." ”
Li Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Last night, we were drifting in the underground river for so long, due to the cold air of the underground river, the power of the blood sword was suppressed, although I can barely sense it, but I am not very sure. It wasn't until this morning that the Blood Sword regained its senses, and I checked the surrounding terrain again to come to a conclusion. ”
When Xiao Feng heard this, he suddenly turned his surprise into joy, and said: "It seems that we have been blessed by misfortune this time, but I didn't expect to arrive at the core of the wild sand so easily." ”
"Easy?" Li Ling smiled helplessly and said, "I don't think this is easy at all, it's just a life of nine deaths." If it weren't for the fact that the land of quicksand is connected to the waterway of the underground river, we would have been buried and swallowed by this layer of yellow sand by now. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was not angry, and then took two steps forward and said, "Big brother, let's go." ”
Seeing this, Li Ling sighed helplessly, so he could only follow. Before leaving, Li Ling suddenly turned his head to look at the large lake behind him, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Then, Li Ling and Xiaofeng left the oasis and headed all the way to the east.
……
In the middle of the wild sand, the more you go to the core, the more golden and brilliant the sand is, like gold, and in the center of the desert there is an orange and yellow desert area, called the Golden Sand Sea.
At this time, at the edge of the golden sand sea, groups of people and horses stood quietly, and everyone's eyes were staring at the sand sea in front of them motionlessly, with a solemn look on their faces.
In the southeast of the crowd, two young men and women stood side by side, the man was handsome and handsome, and he was born with the temperament of a king and grandson, but there was a faint domineering spirit between his eyebrows, and although the woman's appearance was peerless, she was dressed in black like ink, heroic, and looked like a heroine among women, these two people were Chu Tiannan and Chu Yu of the Southern Chu royal family. Behind the two of them, there were thirty-six black-clothed people, all of whom were carrying silver guns and scimitars at their waists, and they were the thirty-six horsemen of Nanchu's black-armored broken army.
"Big brother, this golden sand sea has become more and more restless in the past few days, there will be a series of vibrations every day, the sand sea keeps moving, is it that the underground palace is coming out?" Chu Yu was slightly worried in his heart.
Chu Tiannan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Although I have not seen the situation of the underground palace in the present world, but according to the records in the Southern Chu classics, the ancestors of Southern Chu once saw the underground palace in the present world with their own eyes. Now it seems that the golden sand sea is constantly fluctuating, and there is a lot of difference, and the moment of the appearance of the underground palace must be just around the corner. ”
"Really?" Chu Yu looked around the golden sand sea and said lightly: "It seems that this underground palace has also attracted a lot of people in the present world!" ”
Chu Tiannan smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, the underground palace within the ten thousand miles of wild sand was originally a secret between the nine empires, but later, for some reason, the news leaked out, which attracted a large number of Kyushu masters to compete, and now, even if the nine empires want to stop it, it is impossible." ”
Chu Yu was angry at this time, and said: "Hmph, those emperors of the empire, one by one is more bastard, if they hadn't joined forces back then, we wouldn't have been forced to retreat to the land of Yanzhou." They are all selfish, and of course they don't want others to know about the affairs of the underground palace. ”
"Yes, the people of the empire all have evil intentions, but those Kyushu forces are not vegetarians. The secrets in the dungeon are widely implicated, just ask, the world is invincible and immortal, who doesn't want it? Chu Tiannan said helplessly.
"Hmph, invincible in the world? Eternal life? It's just a dream bubble, what is there to be nostalgic for. Is there really an invincible person in this world? The undead? "Chu Yu's face is red-eared and equatorial.
Chu Tiannan shook his head and said, "The way of heaven is vast, although the world is invincible and immortal, I have never seen it, but the greed of human desires is not uncommon. ”
"What do you mean, big brother?" Chu Yu was puzzled.
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, as long as people have desires, they will have greed, and if they have greed, they will compete with each other, and then there will be war, killing, ......"
"So how can there be no war in this world? No killings? No greed? No scramble? Chu Yu was confused.
Chu Tiannan also sighed helplessly, and stopped making a sound.
Suddenly, Chu Yu seemed to think of something, and exclaimed: "By the way, eldest brother, I heard about it when I came here, it is said that Brother Ling also came here?" ”
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Chu Tiannan's eyes, and he immediately persuaded: "Yu'er, after so many years, haven't you forgotten him?" ”
"Big brother, you should know! Our women in Nanchu, once they recognize a person, they will not change for the rest of their lives, and I can only tolerate Brother Ling alone in my life. ”
How did Chu Tiannan not know? In the past ten years, Chu Yu has not given up looking for Li Ling for a moment, although at this time Chu Yu has taken over part of the military power of Southern Chu and his energy has been transferred to state affairs, but the feelings for Li Ling in his heart have not been forgotten for a moment. As Chu Yu said, Southern Chu is still martial arts, and women are even more chaste and abnormal, once they fall in love with a man, they will be single-minded and will not regret it for life.
"Yu'er, even if Li Ling can come? But ......" After saying that, Chu Tiannan turned around and swept towards the surrounding area of the golden sand sea, and said helplessly: "Look at those people, they are all eyeing the underground palace, ten years ago, Li Ling disappeared without a trace with the blood sword, and now it suddenly appears, and the blood sword is the key to entering the underground palace, can those people let him go easily?" ”
At this time, Chu Yu's eyes changed, and his cold gaze swept over Chu Tiannan on the side, and said, "Big brother, you have really changed a lot in the past ten years, and you are no longer the prince of Southern Chu who is arrogant and righteous." Ten years ago, you would never have said such a thing. Then, Chu Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said: "Even if everyone in the world is embarrassed by him, I will stand by his side and never turn my back!" ”
At first hearing Chu Yu's words, Chu Tiannan's heart was shocked, and then he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "Yes, since I took over the throne for ten years, I also feel that I have changed, sometimes I feel a little different from myself, but I can't help it?" After all, in the past, I was at peace with my heart, and I only thought about personal honor and disgrace, but now, I want to think about the people of the entire Southern Chu. ”
Then Chu Tiannan let out a long sigh, and a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in his eyes!
Chu Yu's eyes were still full of confidence and firmness!
