Chapter Seventy-Two: A Deal with the Sandman

There is no other way at the moment.

Fei Fei led them to the library of the palace, the history of prayer is long, and there are many tribes, and all kinds of documents can be described as a sea of books.

Several people rummaged through the night to no avail, Bai Yu found Fan Xiaotan and followed him to find the book.

"There are so many books, I can't find them all in a few days and nights, and even if I do, maybe I don't have them at all. Fan Xiaotan looks smart, but he hates reading the most in his life, and he is dizzy when he looks at the little black characters together.

"Just say a few words. Is this called Hope to understand?" Bai Yu lowered his voice and glanced at Fei Fei, who was still buried in the stack of books.

Fan Xiaotan was surprised: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, you actually think about the person you hate the most?"

Bai Yu was also stunned for a while, and muttered, "I want you to take care of it." ”

"It seems that Qizhi has a yin invasion of yang every two hundred years?" Chang Jue was tired of several books around him, all of which he found with a record of yin invasion and yang.

"Eclipse?" Phantasm leaned over to look.

"Look at the 'turn of October, the new day, the sun has an eclipse', and here 'the tengu eats the sun, prays to the gods, and repents of their sins,'" Chang Jue opened the book to her one by one, "There are also various rituals to save the sun." ”

"I also have a book here," Fan Xiaotan came over with the book in his hand, "This seems to be the most recent record, one hundred and ninety-nine years ago, it was also said that the ground collapsed in the desert a hundred miles northwest of Huiyu City, and the people were panicked, beating drums and cannons to drive away the evil spirits...... That's what it means, right?"

Chang Jue took the book and looked at it carefully, frowned, and said, "Isn't this year exactly two hundred years?"

"What is the place a hundred miles northwest of Huiyu City?" Phantom Wu looked at Fei Fei.

"It's deep in the desert, and it's uninhabited, but I've heard that it used to be a city a thousand years ago, and it's probably still ruined. ”

Phantom Wu ran outside and looked at the sun in the sky, the desert was cloudless, and there was not even a trace of wind.

Chang Jue also came out and stood beside her: "What are you thinking?"

"I had a bad feeling. Phantom Wu sighed, "It's a coincidence, it's just another two hundred years, will it have anything to do with this nebuta?"

"Why don't I go and see the old city? Chang Jue turned his head to look at Phantom.

"I'll go with you, it won't be good if I encounter some monsters. ”

"You're worried about me?" Chang Jue stared at her, just trying to get an answer.

"Yes. Phantom turned his head, "There's nothing to hide, I'm really worried that you won't have to ask me this kind of question." ”

The phantom eyes are clear and waveless, and there is no half of shame, and there is no half of superfluous friendship.

Chang Jue should have been happy, but looking at the uncolored eyes like Phantom, his heart suddenly emptied.

"Hey, come and see, there's something here!" Bai Yu shouted.

Several people leaned over to look, only to see that Bai Yu was in his hand a travelogue, the author said that he had traveled to pray for branches, recorded all kinds of observations, which said that he had seen a mural in a ruined wall, which depicted an ancient demon lord in order to open up the territory, practiced a kind of evil skill, he relied on devouring people's eyeballs to enhance his strength, and at the same time established a bloodless demon army, invincible.

"It's like a myth. Fan Xiaotan said: "What about after that?"

The Demon Lord also built a palace for himself, saying that gods and demons dwell in his body at the same time, and that his people would be as immortal and possess infinite power as he was. Bai Yu turned the page: "In the end, the Heavenly Dao sent a punishment, and the Demon Lord was flooded with his immortal palace, and there was no trace of him. ”

Phantom Wu nodded: "...... It's really a mythical story. ”

Fan Xiaotan: "This is the only record of the similarity with the Sandman, but where does the water come from in this desert?"

Changjue: "The vicissitudes of the sea, the changes of the world, maybe this was once a piece of fertile land, high mountains and beautiful scenery." ”

Fei Fei, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "But I didn't say it, the Sandman is attached to people, how to solve it." ”

"It's better to ...... Let me try again. Phantom said.

Fei Fei: "How to try." ”

"Since I can see Luan Yan's dream, then I can naturally find traces of the Sandman from her dream, we guess it's better for me to ask it directly what it wants. ”

Chang Jue was a little worried: "But, weren't you injured by it last time?"

Phantasm: "I guess it's not willing to fall asleep all the time, last time it just didn't want me to get close to it and know its secrets, but now it's different, it can't wake up without blood, so let me talk to it." ”

A few people put it together, and that's all it can be.

Phantom Wu asked Chang Jue to prepare the golden talisman to stand aside, and the others left the dormitory.

"When you see that I am wrong, you immediately beckoned me with the golden talisman. "The Golden Talisman is the highest level of all the talismans.

Chang Jue nodded: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." I don't know if these words are comforting Phantom Wu, or comforting myself.

Phantom Wu looked at Luan Yan and said, "I'm here to chat with you for a while, so many people probably only I can chat with you, so don't resist me anymore." ”

As soon as the words fell, Phantom Wu put his hand on Luan Yan's forehead, and this time it was really fine.

Phantom closed her eyes and saw Luan Yan's dream again, or the picture that the Sandman wanted to show her.

Chang Jue stared at Phantom Wu for a moment, and it was not until the half-pillar incense had passed that Phantom Wu woke up faintly.

After confirming that she was okay, Chang Jue breathed a sigh of relief: "How is it?"

Phantom Wu shook his head: "Go out and talk about it." ”

As soon as the door of the hall opened, Fei Fei rushed over: "What's wrong?"

Phantom Wu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Luan Yan is willing to form a contract with it." ”

Fei: "What do you mean?"

"It means that Luan Yan's hatred for you summoned the Sandman, and the Sandman took advantage of Luan Yan's hatred for you and made a deal with her. As long as Luan Yan is willing to voluntarily sacrifice, it will help Luan Yan fulfill her wish. ”

"What is the princess's wish?" asked Fan Xiaotan.

At this question, several people were silent, and Phantom Wu paused before saying, "She wants Fei Fei to die." ”

Fei Fei didn't say anything, he must have guessed it.

Fan Xiaotan looked at his face, and then asked, "That...... How do you crack it?"

Phantom Wu stroked his eyebrows: "It said that as long as the princess is killed, then it will naturally die without a voluntary sacrifice." ”

Fei: "Impossible!"

"It also said that we did so much just for the princess, so it has chips. It says that as long as the princess's body is brought to the Hall of Eternal Life during a solar eclipse, it will leave the princess on its own. ”

"The Hall of Eternal Life, is there really that place? So this Sandman is really the Demon Lord on the mural?" Bai Yu said in surprise.

Phantom nodded and said, "It said that it was not willing to die so much, and its wish was to be reborn." There was his original body in the Hall of Eternal Life, and it naturally preferred to return to its own body. ”

Bai Yu hesitated and said, "Then it's going back, isn't it...... Is the demon coming again?"

"Where is the Hall of Eternal Life?" asked Fei Fei.

Phantom looked at him and didn't speak.

"Where?" Fei Fei asked again.

Phantom Wu sighed, "Have you thought about it? This is not a trivial matter. ”

"Think about it, if it is really as it says, the demon is reborn, then I will kill it even if I fight with my life, and it will be a big deal, but the premise is that I want Luan Yan to be safe and sound. ”

Several people looked at his resolute appearance and did not speak again.

Phantom: "Okay. Case...... The Hall of Eternal Life is right in the old city you mentioned. ”

Bai Yu: "No, there are no palace buildings over there, and the old city doesn't have that long history." ”

"It says it's the location, and we just have to bring people there. "But I've been wondering when the next solar eclipse will be." ”

"Tomorrow. Chang Jue said.

"How do you know?" Phantasm looked at him.

Chang Jue blinked: "Guess." ”

Bai Yu glared: "Is this okay?"

Fei Fei squinted his eyes and looked at Changjue seriously, his expression was a little playful: "Okay, then we'll go tomorrow." ”

Bai Yu arched Gong Fei: "So believe what he said?"

Fei Fei turned his head to look at Bai Yu, raised his eyebrows, and whispered, "You always don't know treasures like this." ”

Bai Yu said angrily: "What do you mean always?"

"Luan Yan's marriage contract with you, making you so dissatisfied, isn't it the most illiterate performance?"

"That's turnip greens, don't you have a hobby?"

"Who's the turnips? Who's the greens?"

"You ......"

Phantom Wu looked at the two who were still arguing, with a helpless expression, Fei Fei was really big-hearted, and he had already returned to his original appearance of not caring about anything before things became a little eyebrow.

Does he really not care about his life or death at all?

The next day, the group prepared to leave for the depths of the desert.

Because Fei Fei couldn't fly, and he had to take Luan Yan with him, he was going to drive the carriage.

Phantom Wu summoned Xiao Xuan, touched its head and said, "Xiao Xuan, you should be able to get bigger, right?"

Xiao Xuan tilted his head and spit out the letter, spread a pair of wings and flew into the sky, then turned sharply and spread another pair of wings, and his body became larger, more than ten zhang.

"It's so big!" Fan Xiaotan looked up, very surprised.

Fei Fei hugged Luan Yan, and several people were carried by Xiao Xuan to the destination.

It's only a hundred miles, and it will be there soon.

The ruins of the broken walls standing in the vast desert are really difficult to find if you don't look closely.

Fan Xiaotan: "Is there really a palace here?"

Bai Yu: "After so many years of erosion by wind and sand, even if there is, it will have long dissipated without a trace." ”

Fei Fei hugged Luan Yan and didn't speak.

The desert is usually very windy and sandy, but at this moment there is no wind at all.

"No matter how glorious the history is, it can't escape the fate of extinction. Chang Jue said as he stroked the half-human-tall remnant.

Phantom Wu glanced at him and turned his head: "Yes, this is the way of the natural cycle, there is a beginning and an end, and the gods cannot escape annihilation." ”

When Bai Yu heard this, he seemed to be talking to himself: "In that case, what is the meaning of our existence?"

Fan Xiaotan rolled his eyes: "What's the point of pursuing meaning?

When Phantom Wu heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, you are a transparent one." ”

Fan Xiaotan was suddenly turned away by what she said: "Nonsense." ”
