Xia Ye twisted the blade of the sword with his index finger and thumb, took it away from his neck, and hurriedly said, "Brother Tai misunderstood, isn't it?" Listen to what I'm going to say. During the day, I kept up with myself, and my cheeks were stabbed by your murderous aura all the way, and I was very afraid of this sword. ”

The strong man was horrified to find that the sword in his hand could not advance or retreat, as if it had been inserted into a stubborn stone.

The fat man smiled and said: "Now in the desert, the master is like a cloud, and it is always good to have one more help." Your reward will not be less, and be relieved. ”

Let go on a summer night, and the strong man collects his sword.

Xia Ye said: "This team of guards hired by Your Excellency is indeed strong and powerful, and the formation is appropriate. Just ......"

Xia Ye raised his hand and waved it behind him, and then withdrew his hand, and a thin black needle stood between the fingers of the sword. And there is a poisonous scorpion on the thin needle, which is no longer alive.

"Lack of vigilance for crises in the shadows. It just so happens that this is my specialty, and I can make up for this shortcoming. Take it with you on the next trip, and you won't suffer. ”

The fat man clapped his hands and applauded, "Good, good." The little brother is so handsome. In business, I can't lose my little brother. I don't know how much this kung fu costs? ”

Xia Ye laughed: "Drinks all the way are enough." On the next summer night, haven't asked for advice? ”

The fat man raised his head and said to everyone around him: "From this moment on, the little brother is a fellow traveler." Don't be vigilant anymore. Go and do your duty, every one of you. ”

The strong man bowed his hand and motioned for everyone to inspect the surroundings.

The little brother next to him stepped forward and whispered, "Boss." Just let him go? ”

The strong man is still afraid of the internal strength shown by the summer night. And seeing that the other party's skills were far superior to him, he pretended to be afraid, thinking that he didn't want him to lose face and lose his job in front of the master's family. It seems that the other party does not want to be their enemy, "as long as it doesn't hinder us, let him go." ”

After everyone retreated, the fat man bowed his hand to Xia Ye and said, "In the lower left state Sogdians." The surname is An's name. Come here and do some business. ”

Summer Night was puzzled, "Buying and selling? ”

An Luo said with a smile: "For people in this desert, a bowl of water is worth a thousand gold, and a mouthful of meat can be in the sea of fire."

Xia Ye haha: "Then the shopkeeper should take care of the goods, don't let me eat them all."

An Luo said: "Little brother in the summer night, I don't know which sect you are, and it may be difficult to capture the treasure alone."

Xia Ye said: "I was an idle wanderer, and I had no intention of being a divine soldier. It's just that in such a place of storms and clouds, the things that change in heaven and earth, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it? ”

Anloti laughed, "Little brother is such a wonderful person. Hahaha. ”

The two of them talked and laughed until late at night.

Summer Night came to a small tent in the corner of the camp and thought secretly, "I didn't expect to be discovered so soon, I really underestimated this team of guards." What a hassle. After this experience, I won't be disturbed to sleep well tonight. ”

……

At this time, 1,300 miles away.

"According to the map, the ancient kingdom of Loulan should be close at hand." One looked into the distance and said to the man beside him. This man is tall and tall, his face is like a mountain, and he has a fierce and heroic style like a sharp sword at his side. It is the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Nuo.

"They can't take it anymore." One person next to him returned. This person is dressed in green clothes and jade crown, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, like a white fan running jade in his hand, and he is gentle and gentlemanly. It is the head of the Bai family of the Righteous Path League, Bai Yu.

Zhong Nuo turned to look at the camp behind him. Thirty-seven families of the Zhengdao League, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Beggar Gang, Wuyue factions, Xishu Tangmen...... Most of the forces of the White Dao have masters to attend this grand event.

Just as the two were talking, several people in the distance were faintly distant.

On the second day, at the beginning of the morning, the morning light was faintly bright.

Zhong Nuo and his entourage have already set off.

Dozens of miles away, an ancient city loomed in the sky. The scorching midday sun scorched the yellow sand. The ancient city in the eyes of everyone is distorted and blurred under the heat, and it is even more ethereal, like fantasy and reality.

After walking for another ten miles, the people found a few mottled places in the distance. When I got closer, there were actually several corpses.

Several of the corpses were dressed in black and white on the outside, apparently specially made for the day and night in the desert.

Bai Yu whispered to Zhong Nuo's side, "It's the people who took the lead last night." ”

Yumen to Loulan, 1,400 miles. A group of people, all kinds of people, each with their own thoughts. Along the way, the open and secret battles intensified. At this moment, there was finally a fatality.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was walking away, this would be a few disciples of the Tang Sect." The elder of the beggar gang, Jing Helai, said coldly at Tang Yan, the eldest disciple of the Tang Sect.

Tang Yan didn't show a trace of panic, "I, a member of the Tang Sect, have always done things exquisitely, how can I be so embarrassed." Looking at this embarrassed appearance, he looks more like a member of your gang. ”

Jing Helai stretched out the long stick, set up the formation, and said angrily, "We will make an appointment to take the divine soldiers together and eliminate the demon guard." Now do you want to keep it for yourself! ”

Everyone gathered in one place, boiling the sky, like a busy city.

"Everyone!" Zhong Nuo stood in front of everyone, his voice like a bell.

The crowd was silent.

"Although Loulan is close at hand, there are still thousands of miles to return, if there is a fight at this time, I am afraid that no one will be able to return to the Central Plains. Moreover, judging from this wound, the murderer should be a member of the Badaomen. Therefore, at this time, I hope that you will work together and do not let thieves take advantage of it. After saying that, he bowed his hand.

Everyone also nodded yes.

Suddenly, a long howl came from Loulan Wangcheng.

A red light shot straight into the sky, and the sky and the earth changed color.

"It's a divine soldier! The legend is true! And the crowd was boiling again.

And the red light suddenly dissipated like a mist, and a golden light took its place, and the momentum was even stronger. After a thunderous explosion, the heavens and the earth shook, and everyone had to barely stabilize their figures. The ground did not stop, and a wave of air surging with yellow sand.

A moment later, the air wave passed, and everyone was half covered in the yellow sand. There are constant voices calling for friends around them, and they have dug through the sand to find the missing person.

And the golden light has disappeared like a rainbow without a trace at this moment, unconsciously.

"Someone got ahead of the game!" There was a word from the crowd that Zhong Nuo didn't want to hear.

Bai Yu, who was standing on the side, said, "Haha, all the effort was in vain." ”

The look of disappointment in Zhong Nuo's eyes was hard to hide.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic and rushed to Loulan. There are more than a dozen people who are injured, secretly injured, and buried.

Zhong Nuo and Bai Yu gave each other a look, and they both understood, and then Zhong Nuo also rushed together.

When it gradually subsided, only Bai Yu and others chatted about a few people to help the injured and disabled.

Bai Yu muttered to himself as he pulled a person up from the sand, "Alas. Even if it is a divine soldier, how can it be so easy to obtain? ”

……

At this time, Anluo's business also opened.

"Water Shiwen. Meat for a penny. An Luo said with a smile.

The servant threw ten taels to Anlo, and ran to the camel to eat and drink with his master.

"Doesn't it say that water is worth a thousand gold, and meat needs to be burned in the sea?" Summer Night asked puzzled. At the same time, he clasped his hands and looked at the wolf calf appearance of the master and servant.

An Luo shook the Kyushu mountain and river fan and said slowly: "Little brother doesn't know anything." This business is like water. Emphasizing an endless stream of one, two follow the trend, and the three converge into the sea. This place is still less than a hundred miles away from Yumen, and it is not difficult for them to turn back to the pass. When they return to the Central Plains, they will not only bring wine and meat in their stomachs, but also our reputation for having good trade routes and low prices. Isn't that worth a thousand dollars? ”

Xia Ye laughed and said, "No wonder people in the world often say that Sogdian merchants have a good way of doing business, and they really live up to their reputation."

After traveling for dozens of miles, the sun has sunk in the west, and the faint stars have begun to appear.

A little fire loomed in the distance, like a candle like a firefly.

Nearby, a monk was burning the body. And beside him were jars of different sizes, which read "Badaomen Xue Wu", "Famous Sword Gate Yue Guang", "Shaolin Mingxing", "Wudang Nie Zheng...... There are more than ten cans.

Summer Night couldn't help but be curious, walked to his side and saluted and asked, "May I ask the Master, ......?" only to find that the monk was chanting the scriptures with his palms together and his head in silence. So he swallowed half a sentence and stood aside and waited.

Three moments later, the body turned into ashes, and the passage was over.

Summer Night silently watched the monk put the ashes into the jar, and wrote on the body of the jar, "The righteous path alliance is in the family and the scholar." ”

After everything was cleaned up, the monk returned the salute to Xia Ye, "Lord Xia, you are polite." ”

Summer Night was in a trance, "Mage, we've met?" He looked at the monk, who was about his own age. The clothes are shabby, the face is very raw, and I can't remember when I saw it for a while.

The monk smiled lightly, "Five years ago, the donor was drunk at the mountain gate. Half-awake and half-drunk, he wrote on the couplet of the mountain gate, "The Buddha said that he could not say, and he preached thousands of scriptures." People's words are invincible, and they are stored in the scripture pavilion. He said, "It's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood." 'I was woken up by the abbot's palm and guarded the January Mountain Gate. How to forget? ”

Xia Ye smiled awkwardly, "Hahaha, young and frivolous, don't mention it." ”

The monk continued, "At that time, I went to Shaolin with my master to teach Buddhism. One in and one out, there are two sides to the Xia Shi. ”

Xia Ye thought about it, but still had no impression, "Then why is the mage here today?" ”

The monk seemed to see the embarrassment of the summer night, and returned intimately, "The donor should call me obscure." I'm here to take them home. ”

Summer Night said suspiciously: "Go home?" ”

Obscure said: "Burying bones in the desert and returning to a foreign land is too desolate." I'll take them back to their roots. ”

Summer Night's gaze swept over the jar on the side again, "Even if it's a wicked person?" ”

Hui Ming put the jars into the basket one by one, "When people come, there is no righteousness or evil, they have walked this way in this world, and when they go, they have nothing, and their merits and deeds are left in this world." ”

Xia Ye thought about it, and had a hint of trouble, "Since the dust is to dust, the earth is to the earth." Why should you care that this dead soul cannot find a living homeland? It has its own place, doesn't it? ”

Obscure thought for a moment and pondered, "Hmm...... Yes, yes......" Then he raised his head and smiled: "What Master Xia said is reasonable, but I am not good at seeking the Fa and contradicting myself." "The eyes were clear and open, dust-free.

But after Hao Ming finished speaking, he still picked up the basket, "But after all, I still can't bear it." Then he bowed to the summer night and left. When he left, he was still pondering, and he still muttered in his mouth: "Dead dust...... The earth...... of the present world"

Summer night watched Dawn walk towards the dark night step by step with the basket on his back, and his heart was mixed. Suddenly, it seemed that he saw that it was the young man in red who was walking away step by step.

At this time, An Luo walked over, "This little master has some bodhicitta intentions. He will definitely be a high monk in the future. ”

Summer Night turned to look back, "Hopefully." ”
