Chapter 234: The Legend of the Flame Beast
A goshawk soared in the sky full of yellow sand, through layers of yellow clouds, from the Eastern Desert Oasis into the Far Eastern Desert.
Zhang Xiaodao and Nalan Chu sat side by side at the front of the car, looking at the yellowing sky with their necks tilted together, as if they were expecting something.
Nalan Chu's eyes swirled around in the sky, revealing cunning in her agility, but she still didn't find the target after looking at it for a long time, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Zhang Xiaodao, are you sure you don't pick up the bow and arrow now, you can really shoot the prey when it appears?"
Zhang Xiaodao affirmed: "I am a marksman, a hundred hundred hits." But he didn't lower his head, still looking at the sky.
Nalan Chu reluctantly believed Zhang Xiaodao, and continued to raise his head to look at the sky, and after another half a moment, the two of them appeared at the same time as the goshawk soaring in the sky.
It's just that the goshawk above the desert is just a black dot, and it is flashing rapidly, and the degree is obviously very fast.
Nalan Chu didn't believe that Zhang Xiaodao could shoot it down so accurately, and just wanted to speak, but there was a 'whoosh' sound in his ears.
The sound was not loud, nor was it sharp, it was just the natural sound of arrows piercing the air, but she inexplicably felt a chill in her heart, and a cold feeling made her goosebumps rise all over her body.
The cluster of arrows went straight up to the sky, flashing to the top of the yellow sand sky with a degree that the naked eye could not keep up with.
In Nalan Chu's pupils, the black dot that was originally extremely fast suddenly stopped, and then began to fall, raising countless feathers, and gradually its outline became extremely clear.
Zhang Xiaodao identified a direction and drove forward, and the camel sped up under his urging, dragging out two reel marks in the desert.
The two reels went straight to the east, and after a quarter of an hour of travel, Zhang Xiaodao accurately found his prey, which was a goshawk with fleshy wings spread out and half a foot long.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled with satisfaction, and was about to use the goshawk to improve his food, but Nalan Chu's expression was a little strange. I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Nalan Chu looked at the high slope of the desert not far away, jumped out of the carriage with Zhang Xiaodao, and said, "It should be the Burning Desert over there." ”
Zhang Xiaodao was a little unclear, so after picking up the prey, he and Nalan Chu climbed the higher sand slope not far away, and then looked down and was suddenly surprised and couldn't close his mouth anymore.
The vast earth is full of cracks, and the red magma like the veins of the human body is deep underground, puffing up its surface into dense scars.
Due to the high temperature in the ground, the color of the earth is mostly black. The countless grains of sand that were swept up by the wind stuck to the blood that seemed to be the earth, turning into charred black stains, which looked dense and intimidating.
Although Zhang Xiaodao knew all aspects of the Western Regions before coming to the Western Regions, he really didn't know about this so-called Fire Desert.
"Have you heard of the legends here?" asked Nalan Chu softly.
Zhang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Listen up." ”
Nalan hesitated for a moment and began to tell the legend of this place.
"The old people said that a hundred years ago, there was no existence of this flaming desert in the Far Eastern Desert, and its appearance was extremely abrupt. It seems that it was just overnight, and people passing by here showed up here. ”
Later, some people speculated that it was the duel of the supreme masters of the Divine Power Realm that caused the changes here, and some people speculated that the ancient spirit beast fell here. ”
Zhang Xiaodao knew that Nalan Chu had never been a person who was willing to tell stories, and since he was talking about this matter now, there must be a follow-up, he silently listened to the story and looked at the strange scene in front of him, thinking about the earth-shattering battle of the barefoot monk north of Shengjing. I quickly felt that this should not be the work of the master of the Divine Realm.
Heaven and earth have laws, nature has a fixed number, and the master of the Divine Power Realm can use the vitality to exert an incredible magical power in the eyes of ordinary people for the medium of heaven and earth.
However, they could never have affected the environment of a desert for thirty or forty years.
Just as he was thinking about whether the spirit beast was possible, Nalan Chu said: "The Nalan family is one of the business travelers who witnessed the birth of this desert. ”
Zhang Xiaodao was stunned, but listened to Nalan Chu continue: "Later, the ancestors were trained, and the Nalan family has been traveling for business for generations, just to find the secret of this desert. ”
Zhang Xiaodao asked, "Is there any basis for the Nalan family?"
Nalan Chu said: "I'll show you later." ”
At this time, Zhang Xiaodao saw someone walking on the scorched black earth at the end of his vision.
The two of them instantly lowered their bodies. Lying in the sand, Zhang Xiaodao raised his eyes and looked intently, and now a team of more than 100 people entered and dispersed, as if searching for something, and couldn't help but whisper: "It seems that it's not just your Nalan family who doesn't give up." ”
Nalan Chu didn't speak, and Zhang Xiaodao went down the sand slope. shook the sand on his body and said, "Let's go, it's better for us to cause less trouble." ”
Nalan Chu nodded, also retreated, and said, "Let's stay away for a while." Walk at night. ”
Zhang Xiaodao agreed, and the two pulled the goshawk back to the car, but they didn't dare to get angry at the fire to improve the food, and drove back the same way, preparing to bypass this flaming desert and continue east.
At this time, Nalan Chu took the package and sat next to Zhang Xiaodao again, took out a palm-sized bulging thing and handed it to Zhang Xiaodao.
Zhang Xiaodao opened the light blue rag and saw a stone.
There is a wisp of magma circulating above the surface of the stone, which is warm in the hand and looks magical.
He asked, "What is this?"
"The reason why Nalan Zu set up the ancestral precept is because someone said that he had seen a flame beast in that flaming desert, and people said that he was crazy, but he took out this stone. ”
"At that time, the Nalan family was also a cultivator family in the Western Regions, and they were very concerned about such an ancient spirit beast, believing that the spirit beast must be an opportunity given by God to the Nalan family to rise. ”
Later, many clues appeared in the Nalan family, which proved the existence of the ancient flame beast, but they couldn't find a way to enter the underground again. ”
Zhang Xiaodao's expression froze, and he naturally knew what spirit beasts meant to cultivators.
The little monk of Fayi once melted his spirit, and his whole body was incomparably hard and indestructible, as if he had the taste of sanctification in the flesh, and the object of his soul melting was a thousand-year-old tortoise, which was obviously not a grade worse than the ancient flame beast.
No wonder the Nalan family is so enthusiastic, if there are really people from the Nalan family who successfully melt the spirit, this has caused the spirit beasts in this desert to exist in the hundred-year-old flame zone, and they will become the few big people in the Western Regions.
Although his heart was shocked, Zhang Xiaodao always felt that if the money was not in his hand, it was not money, and if the baby was not in his pocket, it was not a baby, but it was just people's will. That's all the pie that hangs from the mouth.
"Do you want to find it?" Zhang Xiaodao looked at Nalan Chu.
Nalan Chu shook off his neat short words and said, "I'm not so bored, but I really want to know what I can do when I go to Shengtang?"
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "I won't sell you to a brothel, don't worry." ”
Nalan Chu has been walking alone in the desert with Zhang Xiaodao these days, and he has long been accustomed to the boring words that always pop out of his mouth from time to time, and he doesn't mind just thinking about the humanity just now: "But it's been a long time since anyone searched here again, what did they do?"
Zhang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Let's not worry about this, my current task." is to take you back to the Tang Dynasty, and then arrange a livelihood for you. ”
"What a living. ”
"Is it good to sell bean curd, maybe you are the queen mother of the next generation of the Tang Dynasty, and I can hug your thighs in the future." ”
Nalan Chu didn't know the legendary story of Douhua and the Queen Mother, so he shook the bracelet on his white hand and said, "Is Douhua delicious, I haven't heard of it." ”
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and said, "It's delicious." But the Tang Dynasty cuisine is broad and profound, this is just a snack, and when you arrive in Shengjing, I will take you to a banquet to ensure that you are eye-opening. ”
"Good. Nalan Chu replied crisply, and after a while, he spoke again: "That's right, Zhang Xiaodao." I don't know how to speak Tang dialect, you have to teach me when you have time. ”
"That's right, so let's start now. ”
"Let's start with something simple. ”
"Hello. ”
"Hello. Nalan Chu followed, his spoken language was extremely stiff.
"Goodbye. ”
"Goodbye. ”
"You stupid. ”
Nalan Chu followed and said, "You stupid. ”
Zhang Xiaodao corrected in Western Dialect: "No, you have to talk about me." ”
Nalan Chu didn't know why, but he still listened to Zhang Xiaodao's correction and said, "I'm a stupid girl." ”
Zhang Xiaodao forcibly held back a smile, and Nalan Chu asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Xiaodao said with a smile: "You stupid girl." ”
I saw the meaning in Zhang Xiaodao's expression. Knowing that this was not a good word, Nalan Chu said angrily: "Zhang Xiaodao, are you too boring!"
Zhang Xiaodaoha urged the camel while laughing and leaned back and forth.
............
Under the scorching sun, the old man raised his cheeks, and the scorching light illuminated the wrinkles on his face like knives, and he inexplicably remembered the appearance of the old man in the courtyard raising a huge hammer to kill his relatives a few days ago. I suddenly remembered memories that I hadn't remembered for many years.
Of course, the old man also has relatives, but most of those relatives died in his hands, and the picture is like an old man holding a hammer in the courtyard with tears in his eyes.
It's just that he didn't kill those relatives back then to keep any secrets. But because he wants to live, to survive the famine, he will do whatever it takes!
Thinking of the cruel scenes of the past, feeling the warmth of the scorching sun shining on his cheeks, the old man sighed and shook his head, and a rare helplessness appeared on his face.
But the next breath of helplessness flashed, and the old man returned to his previous appearance, and walked to the highest sandy slope in the extreme eastern desert and looked into the distance.
A cart pulled by two camels came into view, with a man and a woman sitting side by side at the front of the car, the man was smiling and telling something, and the woman pretended to be cold, but she couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising, as if she was about to laugh.
Finally, I don't know what ridiculous baggage shook out of the man's words, and the beautiful woman who gave people a heroic temperament couldn't hold back the smile anymore, but she didn't want the man to see her laughing so happily, so she had to cover her mouth with the white palm with a beautiful bracelet, but she forgot that one hand couldn't cover the smiling eyes that had been bent like a crescent moon!
