Chapter 169: The Long Slope of Scorched Earth

After escaping from Yutian Fort, Ding Xing and Du Wansleeve rushed to the west.

In order to prevent being chased and killed by the demon cultivators in the castle, they did not make any stops on the way, and traveled for half a month, until they penetrated the entire border of Yan Country and stayed away from the territory of the Jade Temple Sect, they decided to choose a deserted territory and settle down to repair it.

The Yan State had thirteen state capitals, and Ding Xing landed in Jizhou, the easternmost state, and then departed from Jizhou in the far west.

Further west, it is the scorched earth long slope at the junction of Yan and Gao Fengguo.

At this time, Ding Xingzheng and Du Sleeves were walking one after the other, trekking in the endless hillside.

Ding Xing looked around, he couldn't see a touch of green, his sight was full of thousands of ravines and mounds, the environment of heaven and earth was quite similar to the Rolling Dust Mountains, but there was no sand and dust in the air, Ding Xing could see the blue sky when he looked up, but he couldn't see the green space when he lowered his head.

"This mountain range spans thousands of miles, and there are lush green forests in ancient times, but the Jade Brake faction and the Blood Hidden Gate often break out into battles, and in all the wars, they have chosen the battlefield here, and the mountains and rivers that are directly fought are not grown, and the name of 'scorched earth long slope' also comes from this!"

Along the way, Du Wansleeve acted as Ding Xing's guide, and she followed her mother Du Yingniang to travel through the six countries of the Demon Domain, and she was quite familiar with the environment in each country.

She knew that Ding Xing was from Weiguo, and that going to Yutian Fort was only a temporary way, and Ding Xing's ultimate destination was the Shengteng River in the territory of Gao Fengguo.

She didn't know why Ding Xing was looking for the Shengteng River, and she never asked more, she only told Ding Xing what she knew about the Demon Domain.

"To the west of the scorched earth long slope, the terrain is extremely high, that is a large plateau, and the Shengteng River runs through the whole territory!" Du Wansleeve pointed to the west: "Senior, after you leave the long slope, you can go to the birthplace of the Shengteng River, and then follow the source all the way to find the rudder of the Blood Hidden Gate!"

Ding Xing entered the scorched earth long slope three days ago, and he still has to walk for another three days before he can get out of the long slope range.

But he was no longer ready to continue his journey, so he said, "Is there a cave suitable for retreat in this dirt mountain, I will protect the Dharma for you, and when you advance, you will find your own way, and I will rush to the Shengteng River." ”

This is also Ding Xing's established plan, this time to go to Gao Fengguo's Blood Hidden Gate, even if it can't be called Longtan Tiger's Den, the danger is also great, Ding Xing can't take Du Sleeve to go, but he can't leave Du Sleeve alone.

He caused such a big storm in Yutian Fort, the castle owner Luo Chizi must be furious, according to Du Bang Sleeve, this person has the status of an elder in the Yusha faction, and nine times out of ten he will ask the Yusha faction to issue a wanted warrant.

Du Wansleeve is just a Qi cultivation period monk, she can't cope with the tracking of the Jade Brake faction, so Ding Xing decided to help her rush to the Xuanti, and when she has a Xuanfei monk, whether it is going to other demon countries to settle down and practice, or crossing the sea to go to Weiguo, she basically has the power of self-preservation.

Ding Xing can be regarded as having an explanation for her.

"About ten years ago, I passed here with my mother, and I rested in a place for three days, if the seniors don't dislike it, I'll take you there! It's just that the time is long, I don't remember the direction too clearly, and it may take some time to find it!"

Du pulled his sleeves and frowned, the scorched earth slopes here are criss-crossed, and the appearance is roughly the same, walking in the middle is like entering a maze, and the direction is really not easy to lock.

She walked for a few more hours, and when it was dark, she stopped at a mouth of the field.

Cracks in the ground can be seen everywhere in a radius of hundreds of miles, Du Sleeve first checked: "It should be here, there was once a group of sand foxes settled and multiplied here, and thousands of tunnels and caves were dug underground. ”

Ding Xing has lived in the underground cave of the Sword Forbidden in Rolling Dust Mountain for many years, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of outdoor wild life, so he motioned to Du Sleeve: "Go down and lead the way!"

After the two of them jumped into the mouth of the earth and landed in the cave more than ten zhang deep, Ding Xing asked, "In this cave, are there often other monks haunting?"

In the long slope of scorched earth for thousands of miles, the temperature is extremely high both day and night, like a natural furnace, so there are no residential buildings on the surface, and even monks will not open caves in the slope.

All human activity is in the underground cavern.

Du held up a lighting stone, identified an underground tunnel, and probed the way forward, while saying: "The tunnels here extend in all directions, stretching for hundreds of miles underground, and even if there are other monks who settle down, it is extremely difficult to find each other......!

She suddenly turned her head, looked at Ding Xing and said, "My mother is very cautious, the caves she is looking for are not only hidden, but also have many ways to retreat, even if other exploration monks inadvertently touch the door, they can also evacuate unknowingly." ”

Ding Xing smiled when he heard this: "Since you left Yutian Fort, you have mentioned more and more about your mother's life experience, it seems that your relationship with her is not as indifferent as you said outside the fort!"

She herself said that she didn't care if she and Du Yingniang were biological mothers and daughters, and she didn't care if she had a father.

She still holds this idea to this day.

It's just that Ding Xing saved her life outside Yutian Fort, and now he promises to help her rush to the Xuanti, she doesn't want to be so indifferent that Ding Xing loses interest in her asylum.

She has been taught by Du Yingniang since she was a child, no matter who she meets or what she encounters, she needs to observe her words and carefully weigh the pros and cons.

The monks of the entire Six Sects of the Demon Dao are all in the style of forgetting their righteousness and being good to themselves, and she is in such an environment, so she will naturally do the same, which can be seen from her sniping Peng Demon Arm at any cost in the mountain stand of Yutian Fort.

She was worried that Ding Xing would not be willing to take care of her, so she went to grab "Blood Aperture and Shen Gong" first, and paid tribute to a magic skill that Ding Xing lacked, she felt that Ding Xing would not refuse her for the sake of the magic skill.

She felt that this kind of behavior was normal in the Demon Domain.

But Ding Xing's upbringing environment is different from her, Ding Xing sometimes does things, never to get any benefits.

The two talked, and soon came to a wide underground palace, this palace has traces of artificial excavation, presumably the secret cave where Du Yingniang lived in the past.

Now that he has a suitable place to stay, Ding Xing also needs to arrange the next retreat.

He first took out a few jars of eight-fruit flower porridge, handed it to Du Bangsleeve and said, "Your cultivation has reached the consummation realm of the Qi cultivation period, I will give you a year of Dharma protection here, and provide you with the flower porridge and wine you need to rush the level, and after a year, whether you can advance or not, we will part ways." ”
