"Just because you don't have a road means you're on the right track. Dongfang Dao didn't look back, and hurried forward.

"Why does the Taoist think so, I remember that Xibei is no less than the great city of Oga, why does it not even have a road. Yan Xi stepped out of the carriage and looked at the scenery in front of him, "Why is this place so desolate!"

"The girl doesn't know anything. Dongfang Daoist looked at the wasteland in front of him, "In the past ten years, Xibei City has almost cut off contact with the outside world for some reason. ”

"More than ten years? That's exactly after Yan Xi left, right?" Ye Hua guessed, he always felt that there was something strange in it.

"I don't dare to draw conclusions about this, I only know that the original Xibei Country was still a big country in the West Night, with a large population and prosperity, and the original West Night Country had the posture of unifying the West Night for many years after the destruction of the country, but it was not successful under the joint boycott of other countries. Dongfang Daoist said to himself.

"What happened later?" Ye Hua asked.

"Later, as far as I know, I don't know why Xibei gradually declined, and they didn't participate much in the battle between the city-states, but they always thought that they were the orthodox royal family of the Western Night Kingdom, be careful, the road ahead is not easy!"

"But even so, it won't be like this!" Ye Hua looked at the boundless Gobi, which was completely absent from the appearance when he first came out of Oga.

"In a place like Xiye, the vegetation is relatively barren, and in addition to the annual war, even some crops are not taken care of, and after a thousand years, many places have become like this!" said Dongfang Dao Chief.

"What's going on with Ogga, there doesn't seem to be much affected there. Ye Hua recalled the prosperity inside and outside the city of Oga City.

"The location of Oga is different, which is indeed an exception, and it is also related to the king of Oga City. The Dongfang Taoist said, "Except for Oga in the Western Night, it is true that there can be such a city-state, most of the city-states in the Western Night have lost a large number of people due to war, and many of the city-states are about to become empty cities." ”

"I didn't expect it to be so serious!" Ye Hua knew that the war was going on in the West Night, but he still didn't expect such a sharp decline in population.

"Don't worry!" Dongfang Daoist saw Ye Hua's doubts, "Although this is the case, there are still many city-states who have realized this, and they have learned from Oga to stop fighting and recuperate, I heard that in recent years, Aojia has led an alliance with the largest city-states in the West Night to calm the war, after all, everyone can't stand it if they continue to fight like this." ”

"That's really a good thing!" Ye Hua finally heard what he was happy about, "If the Western Night Kingdoms can really live in peace, it will be a good thing for everyone. ”

"I hope so!" Dongfang Dao Chang looked at the darkening sky, "Let's spend the night in front today." ”

Ye Hua looked in the direction of Dongfang Dao Chang, there were some broken walls, which had rotted very badly under the erosion of the wind and sand, and the only remaining high walls should be able to help them shelter from the wind.

"Uncle Shi, tell us about Xibei. Not long after he sat down, Ye Hua asked again. "Let's find out more, I'm prepared. ”

"You need to know something, but I don't know much, I heard that Xibei is a xenophobic city-state, it has been like this since ancient times, they seem to be guarding something, it is difficult for outsiders to approach, the people of Xiye are fine, like you are a little troublesome. ”

"It's not that serious, so I can't even enter the city. ”

"It's okay before, more than ten years ago, Xibei adopted a policy of closing the country, and we have to think of a way to go in. Xibei has always been mysterious, there are many secrets that are not stolen by outsiders, so be careful!"

Ye Hua looked at the carriage, Yan Xi did not come down at this time, Ye Hua asked her to rest in the carriage, so as not to suffer from the cold. Thinking that Yanxi was also a person from Xibei, Ye Hua always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say whether he was too anxious about Xibei's trip this time.

"Are you worried about Miss Yan Xi?" said Dongfang Dao Chang when he saw Ye Hua looking at the carriage in a daze.

Ye Hua didn't say anything, nodded, and didn't say what he thought.

"Actually, we should be easier to do with her, after all, she is from Xibei, and if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have agreed to you to go to Xibei so easily. ”

"Looks like Uncle Shi has already thought about it?"

"Sort of, I'll rest today, and I'll tell you tomorrow during the day. After speaking, Dongfang Daoist waved his hand, leaned against the corner of the stone wall and fell asleep.

"It's only one step at a time. Ye Hua understood that it was useless to think about it too much, and looked at the bonfire in front of him.

"There are assassins?" In an instant, Ye Hua's discerning eye seemed to have discovered something, although his qi sea was sealed, his discerning eye's reconnaissance ability had not weakened much, and he still knew something about the movements around him.

Ye Hua stood up violently, looking at the darkness around him, and there was no figure.

"It's gone. Dongfang Daoist also noticed, "Rest, I don't think it will come." ”

Ye Hua saw that Dongfang Daoist said this, he could only give up, since Dongfang Daoist was in him, he was not afraid of encountering any villains, so he lay down in the corner and fell asleep with peace of mind.

"It's all your fault! I was almost found just now!" In the dark, several black-clothed people who had attacked Ye Hua before were discussing things, one of them was Miao Sen, and he walked towards their leader while blaming the other black-clothed person.

"How's it going?" the leader didn't reply, knowing that the two were coming.

"Looking back at the leader, those people are in the ruins not far away, and the direction of them is to Xibei. Miao Sen said.

"Xibei!" the leader pondered, "what are they going to Xibei for, Xibei doesn't produce spars, and it's not a good place." ”

"Maybe it's because I think my life is too long. Miao Sen said as if he sneered, but he was stared at fiercely by the leader, and he didn't dare to say more.

"Didn't you know what they were going for?" said the chief.

"No, those people were too alert, and I wanted to get closer, but I was discovered. ”

"Discovered?" the leader was displeased.

"It's hard to say, but to be cautious, we'll be back. Miao Sen looked guilty.

"Well, your judgment is good, I heard that some people with advanced cultivation can distinguish the movements within a mile, so let's be careful. The leader nodded. "That kid doesn't do that, but there is another person I can feel that his cultivation is much higher than that kid. ”

"Then what should we do, just watch them go?" Miao Sen still didn't want to give up: "It's all been followed all the way, it's too cheap for them to give up like this." ”

"No, since they are going to Xibei City, they must pass by there, and we will wait for them there. The leader smiled smugly.

Early the next morning, Ye Hua was woken up by Dongfang Dao Chief, ate some dry food casually, and the three of them continued to hurry. Today is different from the first day, Ye Hua and Dongfang Dao Chang didn't speak along the way, Yan Xi looked at Ye Hua's uncertain expression, and couldn't understand what he was thinking.

"Childe, do you have something on your mind?" Yan Xi asked tentatively.

"Did you notice that we were being followed all the way? Ye Hua didn't intend to hide his thoughts.

"Tracking?" Yan Xi subconsciously looked outside the car, there was no place to lurk in the Gobi outside the car.

"Not now. Ye Hua said, "It was yesterday." ”

Yan Xi didn't understand. ”

"Last night, my uncle and I noticed that someone was watching us from a distance, but it was too dark for me to see who it was. Ye Hua thought about what happened last night.

"Maybe it's a beast passing by?" Yan Xi said, "It's normal to encounter a wild beast in the wilderness like this, right?"

"I thought so at first, so I didn't pay attention at first, but the man was sure he wasn't a beast until he tried to get close to me. Ye Hua shook his head, "I think Senior Uncle Dongfang should know this better than me." ”

"Ye Hua is right, someone was near us last night to observe us, and it was two people. Dongfang Dao Chang said, "But I can't see any malicious intent on the other side, maybe it's just that we have invaded their territory, so let's observe the situation." ”

"In any case, it's better to be careful. ”

The three of them didn't walk long before they came to a mountain pass, which was a long and narrow crossing, and there was almost no vegetation under the perennial wind and sand blowing on both sides of the mountain rocks, and the bare rocks were uneven by the stones blown by the strong wind, and the wind whined as soon as it passed through the narrow pass, which was really frightening.

"Where is this?" Ye Hua looked at this kind of place, and always felt that his heart was not very steady.

"It's the way to Ciudad Xibei. The Dongfang Dao chief pointed to the narrow mountain pass, "Oga City is located in the west of the West Night, and there are two narrow mountain ranges in the middle of the West Night, if you want to pass from the west to the east, in addition to bypassing the mountains along the north or south side of the West Night, the fastest way is to get this gorge between the two mountain ranges, if I remember correctly, after passing here, there is the West Bay City." ”

"It feels so weird here!" Yan Xi stepped out of the carriage, she looked at the scenery here, and couldn't help but panic in her heart.

"I also feel this way, why there is no trace of this kind of road that no one has walked. Ye Hua expressed his doubts.

"You say that, it's true, I have walked this road before, but it was hundreds of years ago, there were quite a lot of people coming and going here at that time, I can think of it, it may be related to Xibei, after here is Xibei, if you don't deliberately go to Xibei, it is also an option to go south or north to bypass the mountains. ”

Seeing that Ye Hua wanted to say something, Dongfang Dao Chang urged the two of them to get in the car and hurry, "Okay, if you have any questions, let's talk about it after here, it's not too early, you have to continue to hurry!"

Ye Hua thought about it, it was not his style to be stuck here, he had to remind himself to be careful.
