Chapter 44: The sword aura shines on the sky

When the spring of this year passed, Ding Xing left Jinlu Xianzhuang, where he had lived for six years.

He rode a deer south, crossed mountains and forests, crossed rivers and rivers, slept in the open all the way, and rushed thousands of miles to the southern frontier of Weiguo.

This is Ding Xing's first long journey, fledgling young people, often dare to fight, he is the same, at home to prepare everything, but on the way to the road has few concerns.

His sense of anticipation for adventure is particularly strong, and every time he passes through an unfamiliar place, he feels excited and novel, and he always has the idea of lingering.

His performance is completely different from that of his fellow partners Jin Laohan and Granny Shen.

These two old monks were used to being cautious, they didn't dare to gasp when they climbed the mountain, they didn't dare to paddle when they crossed the river, they were afraid of attracting river demons, and they were also under great pressure, and they regarded this trip as a danger of life and death.

Ding Xing didn't have a burden, this time he went south to roll up the dust, whether he could find the golden dew liquid, his heart of gain and loss was not strong.

In fact, when he left home, Ding Xing first made an appointment with a group of peers in the village, and agreed to go south together.

His cultivation had reached the eighth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and there was no problem with Edgeworth, but he had been drinking 'Turtle Breath Dispersion' to cover his mana in the past, and revealing the stuffing would bring him trouble.

He resisted the impulse and did not chase after his peers.

Then he stayed in the winery for a few days, and met Shen Laohan and Granny Meng, and he saw that the two were also riding, Shen Laohan rode a yellow ox, and Granny Meng rode a black donkey.

Everyone was close to each other, so they hit it off and hit it off together.

The cultivation of the three of them is not high, but when they encounter the fighting method, they can burst out with the combat power of six monks.

Of course, the mount is also considered a monk.

Shen Laohan's real name is Shen Houfu, and Ding Chenzhi entered the winery in the same year, married his wife Granny Meng, and the couple had a daughter named Shen Chuanxiang under their knees.

As a parent, she was worried about her daughter's safety, so she went south to take risks.

The two old men were overly cautious and seriously delayed the speed of the journey, but since Ding Xing agreed to go with him, there was no reason to give up halfway, so he patiently followed.

In fact, this is not a bad thing, at least the two old people have rich experience and have seen a wide range of things, no matter what boundary they pass, they can popularize common sense for Ding Xing.

This journey of tens of thousands of miles has given Ding Xing a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the inheritance history, influential figures, and territorial distribution of the seven major sects of Weiguo.

They set off at the end of spring, and by the time they passed through the border fortress in the southern part of the country, and the Rolling Dust Mountains were in sight, it was already the middle of winter.

However, it is hot in the south, and it never snows even in winter, so you don't have to worry about experiencing bitter cold weather.

On this day, Ding Xing and the three of them came out of a dense forest.

Looking ahead, I saw that the sand and dust were flying more than ten miles ahead, rolling into the air, like a thick fog permeating the heavens and the earth.

Look at the dust and fog again, hazy and hazy presenting a mountain trace, mighty, endless, the sea of clouds and fog looming, quite a vast sense of mystery.

Seeing this, Ding Xing knew that his destination, Dust Mountain, had arrived, so he raised his hand and pointed far away: "The dust and fog in the mountain seem to be floating still, and there is no diffusion and rotation, does this strange weather appear all year round, and how did it form?"

For several months, Shen Laohan has been serving as a temporary guide for Ding Xing, only to hear him respond with a smile: "There are two theories, one is that the monks are insatiable, and for generations, they have unscrupulously felled, picked, and excavated spiritual roots inside and outside the mountains, and split mountains to mine and extract the leylines, which is also flooding.

This behavior caused the aura to dry up, and the growth of plants and trees became slower and slower, and it happened that the west side of this mountain range was next to the Tiandong Desert, and after the aura disappeared, sand and dust poured in, thus forming a phase of dust. ”

To the north of the Rolling Dust Mountain Range is the Great Wei Kingdom, to the west is the Great Desert, and to the east is the sea, but whether it is a desert monk or a sea monk, they basically jump out from the Wei Kingdom.

Therefore, Shen Laohan accused the monk of being insatiable, and in other words, it still has to be counted on the head of the monk of Weiguo.

Dante Xing didn't understand: "Uncle Shen, it is rumored that there are still monks in the mountains further south, and the responsibility for the desertification of the mountains should also be blamed on them!"

Shen Laohan smiled: "This involves another saying! 100,000 Nanshan is dusty, have you ever heard of this allusion?"

Ding Xing casually continued: "One hundred thousand Nanshan is dusty, and a piece of sword qi shines in the sky!"

Dusk ended at this time.

There are dark clouds tonight.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Dante Xing looked at the Rolling Dust Mountain Range from afar, but saw that there were sky-high beams of light in the mountains, and there were more than one of them, and the shape was like Pang Guang's sword qi.

Ding Xing, the sword qi at the end of the mountain, could be seen visually, but in the belly of the mountain, as the distance increased, the brightness of the beam was weakening, and Ding Xing could only peek at a vague light source, but it was difficult to identify the specific form and quantity.

Shen Laohan pointed to the beam: "That's the remnant of sword qi!" It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a kingdom in the south of the Rolling Dust Mountains, which was good at making exquisite paper, and was exported to our country. ”

Ding Xing naturally thought of the 'paper soldier under the moon', since he bought this magic weapon from a Taoist cutter, he was curious about the past, after all, the seven major factions of Weiguo did not have the inheritance of 'paper art'.

I didn't expect to be born in the 'one-paper school'.

He had already been intrigued, and wanted to know more about the history of this sect: "Has this immortal gate been destroyed?"

"The whole country is completely destroyed, and the whole country is directly annihilated! The sect is destroyed, and the kingdom does not exist, and today, Shannan has become a barbaric domain, even if there are occasional monks, they are mostly bloody demons, and the cruelty of the methods is even more fierce than that of the demon cultivators. Shen Laohan stroked his white beard and sighed:

"At that time, our Wei Kingdom had not yet been established, and no one knew which ancient sect participated in this battle, in short, the battle was very fierce, the two sides came and went in the Rolling Dust Mountain Range, and fought for many thoughts, you see those sword qi, all of them were left by the monks of the paper sect! However, after the battle, the dust and mist began to fill, so there is a rumor that it was the ancient war that caused the strange spectacle of the dust!"

Both of these arguments have some plausibility, but the current monks generally believe that the dust is most related to the depletion of spiritual energy and the desertification of mountains.

"By the way, Xiao Ding, those sword qi are actually forbidden, the appearance is like sword light, and there are often other things inside, and even many monks have found the ruins and treasures left by ancient times in these sword qi, of course, it is also the best place to flee and take refuge, if the mountain ant wants to hide, it must be hidden in a certain place in the sword qi!"

Shen Laohan raised his hand as he spoke: "The dust monks have opened up mountain cities on the peaks at the end of the mountain, which can be used by fellow Taoists from the south to the north to live temporarily, we have been traveling for several days in a row, so let's enter the mountain as soon as possible to rest!"
