Chapter 68: The Falcon Hawk Pecks the Python
After walking for a long time, I came out of several canyons, and the terrain suddenly became open again.
The earth turned golden yellow, and although the terrain was open, the view was blocked by a layer of yellow mist in the sky, and it was still not far to see.
Seeing this scene, the maid Hongyu beside Yan Candleying finally became chattering again:
"It's finally time to reach the Yangsha Wasteland!"
Liangchen watched the team smile happily, knowing that he had finally passed the Twilight Plateau without any problems.
"Even though I haven't encountered a single thief after so many walks, it's still worrying. Yan Zhuying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, millions of goods, if anything goes wrong, it must be a heavy blow.
"It's good if it goes well. Liangchen also said with a smile.
"By the way, isn't that the foggy in the distance the perennial sand and dust fog here?" asked Liangchen, pointing to the dim sky in the distance.
"Yes, it's windy and sandy almost half of the year, and there's sand everywhere. In case of bad weather, sandstorms can also occur. It's extremely dangerous weather!" Yan Candle Shadow replied.
"Sandstorm?" asked Yoshitomi.
"Yes, a sandstorm is a sandstorm formed when there is an extremely strong wind, and the wind rolls the sand and stones on the ground into the air!
Generally, there are two types of appearances, one is a sand wall, and the other is a salon roll. We had a sandstorm.
The sky was so dark that we couldn't see it, and the overwhelming wall of sand was like a mountain that kept attacking our shields, and finally we lost a giant plain cow. I don't know if it was scattered or buried. ”
Yan Candle Shadow seemed to be haunted by the sandstorm she had experienced.
"Did you find it later?" asked Liangchen.
"Where to find it? The sandstorm lasted for nearly half a day, and we were all exhausted, where else did we have the heart to look for? Yan Candle Shadow replied.
"It seems that it is not easy for Miss Yan to open a store here. Liangchen sighed.
"Alas~ who wants to stay in this windy and sandy land. Yan Candle Shadow sighed and said.
"It's a pity that the place in Demon Dragon City was snatched away. Ruby continued with a puff.
"Everywhere is exercise, and there will be rewards for your efforts. Liangchen reassured.
"Yes. Yan Candle Shadow replied.
Against the wind and sand, the group walked for a day and a night.
Finally, I saw a stockade looming in the wind and sand in the distance, and there were more pedestrians on the road.
"Brother Ye, there is Fengsha Village in front!" Yan Zhuying said with a smile.
"It's finally here. Hongyu also said with a smile.
The rest of the team saw the stockade and felt that the task would be completed smoothly immediately, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.
But after a cup of tea, the team came to the gate of the stockade.
At a glance, the walls around the village are made of black and brown stones, about ten zhang high, stretching for dozens of miles.
From a distance, I saw two towers standing at the entrance, with an interval of about 100 steps, the towers were about twenty or thirty zhang high, and the place under the tower on the left side was the place to rent spirit beasts.
The gate of the stockade is very simple, and a large piece of tattered animal skin hangs on the door, and the picture of a large eagle fighting a python is painted on the animal skin.
In the center, three words glowing with silver light were written in cursive with animal blood:
"Wind and Sand Village!"
When they arrived at the tower at the entrance of the stockade, several people unloaded the goods and hired porters to transport the goods to the store.
He handed over the rented Swift Dire Wolf and the Giant Plain Ox to the tower owner, and followed the porters into the Wind and Sand Village.
As soon as they entered the village, everyone felt that the wind and sand suddenly disappeared, and they felt much more comfortable than when they were outside with a magic shield on at all times.
"This village is composed of several formation masters and a large protective array, so the general wind and sand can be resisted. It's just that our shops have to hand over more spiritual gold. Yan Zhuying saw Liangchen's doubts and took the initiative to explain.
The village is also full of people, very prosperous, although it is not as good as the Demon Dragon City, but the scale is not small.
Yan Candle Shadow's shop is located in the northwest corner of the village.
When a few people entered the store, Yan Zhuying took out a jade card, recited a few incantations to it, and handed it to the Jindan man who led the team:
"There are a few people who escort you all the way, this is the jade plate for the completion of the task, you can get the spirit gold from me when you return it to the city lord's hall. ”
The middle-aged man who led the team took the jade medal and said happily:
"Shopkeeper Yan is polite, if you need it in the future, you can contact you again, and we will go back to Demon Dragon City first. ”
Yan Candle Shadow sent a few people to the door and said:
"Pay more attention to safety on the way back. I don't send it. ”
After sending a few people away, Yan Candle Ying turned to Liangchen and said:
"Brother Ye rest for a while, I'll take you out for a walk. If there is no urgency, stay here for a few days. ”
Liangchen hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"How can you stay that long! Wait for me to go around, and I'll be back in a day or two. ”
Yan Candle Shadow smiled and instructed Hongyu to say:
"That's okay, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. Xiaohong, take Brother Ye to the guest room to rest. ”
Liangchen followed Hongyu to a room on the second floor and began to meditate and rest. This six or seven days of running day and night was really exhausting.
After more than an hour, he walked out of the room in good spirits.
I saw that Yan Zhuying was arranging for someone to stack the goods, and at the same time contacting the buyer to pick up the goods.
Seeing him come out, Yan Zhuying smiled and said:
"Brother Ye is resting?"
"yes. Liangchen replied.
"I still have something to do now, let Xiaohong show you around. Yan Candle Shadow said.
"Xiaohong, come here, take Brother Ye to visit this Fengsha Village. ”
"Brother Ye, let's go, I'll take you out to have a look. Ruby said to Liangchen.
Walking on the street, Hongyu briefly talked to him about the situation in Fengsha Village.
This wind and sand village is circular, the east and west a big road will divide the wind and sand village into two, the south is the wind village, the north is the sand village, and there are hundreds of shops of all sizes.
There is a big village at the end of the road, which is the place where the owner of the wind and sand village lives.
The owner of the village is called Sha Mao, the cultivation of the infancy, the wind spirit magic is rarely an opponent, and people give the nickname Wind Demon.
After Hongyu finished talking about the general situation, she took Ye Liangchen and walked forward along the main road.
The Yan family's shop, in the northwest, go out and turn right, and walk to a big road a few hundred meters, with people coming and going.
"Why are the houses on the left and the right of this road obviously different, all kinds of small buildings on the left, square, long, two-storey, three-storey. And on the right, there are circular four-story buildings?" asked Liangchen, looking at the buildings on both sides.
"Brother Ye, don't you know, our Fengsha Village is divided into two villages, Fengsha Village, and the left hand side is Fengzhai, which is our store. On the right-hand side is the sand village.
Most of the people living in the sand village are aborigines, they are a family, and they all have the surname Sha. Fengzhai moved over later, and there were merchants and cultivators. Ruby pointed to the buildings on both sides and explained to Liangchen.
"It's strange that the conditions here are so harsh, the aura of heaven and earth is thin, and there are still people settling here!" said Liangchen, looking at the large circular dwellings over there.
"I heard that this family originally lived in the burning plains of southern Xinjiang, and legend has it that their patriarch and elders were inspired by the gods that if they saw a golden-winged eagle standing on a cactus pecking at a python, that was their place of settlement.
So they sent people to look around, and finally met a golden-winged eagle standing on a huge cactus with a spotted python in its mouth in this sand wasteland, so there was this wind and sand village. Hongyu's eyebrows danced, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"No wonder the gate of the stockade is painted with a picture of an eagle and snake fighting, so it is. Liangchen remembered the pattern drawn by the animal skin on the gate of the village, and suddenly realized.
