The brother and sister were introduced to this point, they basically understood the legend of the demon hunter, Yue Guanchao was surprised, but also curious about the demon king in the desert.

Since they entered the Western Regions, they have constantly heard people mention the Devil Desert, the Desert Devil, or some Demon King, or the Sand Phantom Demon Dragon, for them, even if they don't know the situation, they can know that all of this is related to the Demon King or the Devil.

He asked Gu Xixi, "What is this demon king?" Is the Devil's Desert the Demon King's Desert? ”

Gu Xixi nodded at them and said meaningfully: "It depends on how you understand it, you can understand the Demon King as the ruler of the desert, or the ancient demon king sealed by the desert, or the ancient god who guards the desert. ”

No matter what it is, he is not an evil destroyer in the traditional sense of the Han people, closer to the ancient gods, which can be understood as this demon king is both good and evil.

If someone does something bad in the desert, they will punish the people who harm the desert on behalf of the desert, but if someone gets lost in the desert or asks for the help of the demon king, they will gladly answer and help the passers-by who are lost in the desert.

Sometimes they turn into cannibalistic demons who punish towns on the edge of the desert, and sometimes they turn into gods who bring well-being, turning the desert into an oasis and bringing abundant rainfall.

For the people living in the towns along the desert, the demon king is not just good or bad, and he can't be evaluated with a single evaluation system, if you have to give him a definition, the demon king is a bit similar to the ancient gods in ancient times when the gods and demons were one.

For most people, the demon king is the desert, and the desert is also the demon king, and the distinction between the two is not so clear.

Yue Guanchao pondered Gu Xixi's words carefully, and his eyes lit up: "Does that mean that the Demon King rules everything in the desert, including the towns and people around the desert, and they respect the Demon King, in fact, they respect the desert." ”

Gu Xixi nodded at them: "You can indeed understand it this way, anyway, the demon king is a very complex concept, and it cannot be accurately defined, for example, if the water in the desert town is cut off, they will think that the demon king in the desert is angry." ”

For another example, some deserts have been nourished out of the oasis because of the generation of rivers, and the people will think that the demon king is in a good mood and has a good heart, just like the desert demon dragon in Dunhuang City, they think that the demon king wants to break through the seal of Hexi and send the desert demon dragon to make trouble.

In order to calm the anger of the demon king in the desert, he could only sacrifice the flesh and blood of cattle and sheep, and then kill the desert demon dragon, never said to kill the demon king, or eliminate the demon king.

Song Siyuan nodded at her: "Is it possible for me to understand it this way, in the course of thousands of years of history, the small city-states around the desert have been constantly rotated, but they have never seen the slightest change in the desert, in the eyes of most people, they live around the desert, not only affected by the arid climate of the desert, but also dependent on the rivers in the desert to nourish the oasis." ”

In their minds, they can't stay away from the desert or change the desert, so they can only adapt to the desert and coexist with the desert, which is the idea that the people of the Western Regions have to accept from birth.

Under this kind of thinking, they compare the desert to a demon king or a devil, and use the good and evil sides of the devil to show their fear and closeness to the desert.

Gu Xixi nodded at Song Siyuan and confirmed: "You can indeed understand it this way, there is no problem." ”

Song Siyuan struck while the iron was hot and continued: "So is the Demon King real? If the Demon King doesn't exist, how can there be real immortals? If the Demon King exists, how will he exist? Is it a monster, or a god, in the heavens or underground? ”

They can't understand these problems clearly, and Gu Xixi doesn't seem to know either, so he can only shake his head at them: "This desert has existed for nearly thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, and it is precisely because of this that the people around the desert have such complex feelings about the desert, both respect and love, want to stay away, but also have to adapt." ”

"Now it's time for me to ask you?"

When Gu Xixi said this, her eyes were vivid, and she was curious about them: "I have already told you what I know, and I also have many questions about you, and I ask you to answer them." ”

Gu Xixi glanced at Yue Guanchao and them, and asked slowly, "Why did you come to Hetian?" Judging from your image, you should belong to the Han people, from the Han land to the Western Regions for nearly thousands of kilometers, you should run so far not just to participate in the dragon chasing society opera. ”

"Am I okay with that? You are very interested in the Desert Demon Dragon, and you came to Southern Xinjiang to find the traces of the Desert Demon Dragon. ”

Come and don't be rude, since Gu Xixi already knows everything about them, they don't need to be petty, they have to cover up, Yue Guanchao nodded at her: "We came to Hetian, it is true that we are investigating the truth of the desert demon dragon, but this is not interested in the desert demon dragon, all the investigation revolves around the red and white sacred mountain on the edge of the desert." ”

"Red and White Sacred Mountain? You mean Mount Mazatag? Gu Xixi's eyes became suspicious: "Are you going to find the Sand Sea King City?" ”

This woman did understand everything, Yue Guanchao no longer concealed it, and nodded at him in acquiescence: "Indeed, what we are looking for is the Sand Sea King City that disappeared in the desert, since we came to the Western Regions, we have been receiving clues from all sides, and finally let us lock the location of the Sand Sea King City, they are near the Red and White Mountain." ”

Gu Xixi's eyes were puzzled: "We have also been to the vicinity of Hongbai Mountain, there is no trace of the Sand Sea King City there at all, not even the ruins of the building, are you sure that there is a Sand Sea King City under the Red and White Mountain?" ”

Yue Guanchao nodded: "We are especially sure of this, whether it is to understand the Sand Succubus Demon Dragon or the Demon Hunter or the Illusionist, we just want to accumulate literature and materials for entering the Devil Desert, after all, we are entering the desert for the first time, and we don't know much about everything in the desert, of course we should be more cautious." ”

At this point, Gu Xixi suddenly realized: "No wonder you always pay attention to us, it turns out that you treat us as illusionists who are deceived and abducted." ”

They really didn't say this wrong, Yue Guanchao gave up his hand slightly: "Walking the rivers and lakes, you have to be cautious, it's not strange." ”

He paused, and asked in a consultative tone, "Do you also know anything about the Red and White Divine Mountain?" Or do you also know the legend of the Sand Sea King City? ”

Gu Baiyue nodded and interjected: "You're right, we have indeed heard of the Sand Sea King City, and when we walked in the southern and northern frontiers, we also paid attention to all the stories and legends about the Sand Sea King City, and also conceived illusion tricks based on the stories of the Sand Sea King City and Queen Shanshan. ”

"It's just" Gu Baiyue's words changed: "Since we haven't seen the Sand Sea King City, nor have we seen Queen Shanshan, our conception of this illusion is really limited, and we haven't formed a complete illusion trick until now." ”
