In the courtyard, there was a mess, there were four corpses lying in the ruins, blood gushing out, soaking the surrounding ground into a blood-red, like a blooming hell blood flower, poignant and terrifying, so frightened that stinky tofu couldn't help but scream.

"Alright, okay, stop screaming. ”

Lin Pingzhi's figure suddenly appeared beside Stinky Tofu, stretched out his hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and suddenly, Stinky Tofu's body seemed to be filled with a force to support him, and the sense of fear was like a tide, which was rapidly decreasing.

"Gollum. ”

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still a little cramped, and asked, "What's going on, who are they, why did they die here?"

"You forget, they're the diners in the inn during the day, well, and the shopkeeper, they're all here. ”

Lin Pingzhi responded indifferently: "As for why they died here, it's because they are too self-righteous and have to come to fight me and Miss Shangguan's idea, so they are all dead, well, there is still one left!" As he spoke, he reached out leisurely, and with a flick of his fingers, an ice needle immediately shot out of the air.

"Whew!"

When it was about to reach the speed, the ice needles that flew through the air were like a white light, with a sharp and piercing sound, and in the blink of an eye, they shot in front of Shangguan Yan.

Seeing this, Stinky Tofu thought that Lin Pingzhi was going to kill Shangguan Yan, so he couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "What are you doing?!" Unexpectedly, the exclamation in his mouth came out, and he saw that white light broke through the air, passed directly past Shangguan Yan's ears, snorted, and disappeared into the dark shadows behind her.

"Bang!"

As far as the white light came, a figure suddenly appeared, it was none other than the shopkeeper of the inn in the day, he held a long knife in his hand, and at the moment when his eyebrows were shot by the ice needle, he still maintained the posture of waving the knife and wanted to slash, but at this moment, he could only open his eyes, with full disbelief, and fell straight back.

"Good means. ”

Shangguan Yantou didn't reply, because, with her martial arts cultivation, she had already noticed it when the shopkeeper approached her, she originally wanted to wait for the moment of the shopkeeper's move to solve him, but she didn't expect Lin Pingzhi to make a move before her, so she naturally had no need to make a move.

"It's just a small skill for carving insects. ”

Lin Pingzhi responded with a smile, looking unconcerned, after all, with his martial arts today, using the flying needle technique recorded in the Sunflower Treasure Book to shoot a third-rate small character is really not a big achievement.

And it wasn't until this time that the stinky tofu understood that Lin Pingzhi's finger flying needle was not Shangguan Yan, and he hurriedly swallowed back all the scolding and questioning prepared in his heart, and turned to the corpse on the ground and scolded angrily: "I already knew that this shopkeeper was not a good thing, and he actually wanted to sneak attack Shangguan girl, and let me see, the poisonous eight achievements in the pot of tea before were ordered by him!"

"Nonsense. ”

Lin Pingzhi complained in his heart, things have developed to this point, it is estimated that a fool can see it, but he did not dwell on it here, but turned his head to look at the firewood room, and said: "There is still a living mouth!"

"Alive?"

Hearing this, Stinky Tofu was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked with full vigilance: "Could it be that there are other killers ambushed in the firewood room?"

Shangguan Yan also subconsciously clenched the phoenix blood sword in his hand, but heard Lin Pingzhi shake his head and smile: "I want to know, let's go and see if it's clear." ”

While speaking, he walked straight to the firewood room, Shangguan Yan followed without hesitation, wanting to take a look, although the stinky tofu wanted to remind the two of them that there might be danger, but after looking at a few corpses on the ground, he didn't speak after all, but after hesitating for a moment, he cautiously followed the two to the firewood room.

"Squeak!"

Lin Pingzhi waved his sleeves lightly and opened the door of the firewood room, after he entered, he followed his breath and went straight to a large pile of haystack in the corner, waved his sleeves over, and the hay flew sideways, revealing the people hiding inside.

Hidden in this haystack was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body, his hands and feet were firmly tied by a hemp rope, and a ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, his expression was sad, his face was sallow, and he didn't know how long he had been thrown here.

Lin Pingzhi flicked his sleeves, and an invisible sword qi cut the rope, and he was about to ask him a question, but the stinky tofu who was following behind immediately opened his mouth in surprise after seeing the middle-aged man, and said, "Shopkeeper, why are you locked up here?"

"Alas!"

It turned out that this person was the real shopkeeper of the Tianxiang Inn, he shook off the hemp rope and weeds on his body, and then took out the cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, and sighed and responded: "I don't know what happened, a group of people suddenly came the night before yesterday, and killed all the people in the store in a blink of an eye, leaving me alone, and being locked up here by them. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly looked around nervously and asked, "By the way, stinky tofu, what about those gangsters? Have you already taken them down?"

"Forehead ........."

In front of Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan, Stinky Tofu was not embarrassed to brag about himself, and responded truthfully at the moment: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, that group of gangsters has been killed by these two heroes." ”

"Oh!

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart that had been hanging finally let go, and he hurriedly clasped his fists to Lin Pingzhi and Shangguan Yan and said, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the two heroes, otherwise my old life may have to be explained here." ”

"No thanks. ”

Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly: "If you really want to repay us for saving our lives, you might as well tell us about it, is there a place called 'Desert Mansion' near here?"

"Desert Warrior?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying, and he waved his hand again and again in a panic, and said, "Don't ask me, don't ask me, I don't know anything." While speaking, he hurriedly bypassed Lin Pingzhi and wanted to escape from the firewood room.

"Walk slowly!"

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yan stretched out his hand, and the phoenix blood sword was directly blocked in front of him: "Shopkeeper, please tell me the truth, where is the Desert Treasure?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I won't tell you, I'm for your good, desert man, it's a very evil place, the people who go there are either dead or crazy and stupid, anyway, none of them have a good end, after all, you two saved my life, how can I watch you go on an adventure." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to worry, Miss Shangguan and I are both martial arts practitioners, and although the desert is dangerous, it can't hurt us." ”

"Is that so?"

The shopkeeper asked for confirmation again, and seeing that Shangguan Yan also nodded, he sighed helplessly: " Alas, anyway, since you have to go, then I will tell you, according to legend, the desert is here to go to a desert a hundred miles northwest of the desert, but only when the total solar eclipse will appear, before the appearance of the desert there will be colorful phantoms, you need to use the helioscope to point the lion's eyes, can enter, and, only a cup of tea, otherwise the entrance will be closed, can only wait for the next total solar eclipse to open again. ”

"Interesting. ”

Lin Pingzhi said: "Isn't this kind of celestial phenomenon like a total solar eclipse rare to see for thousands of years?

"How dare you?"

The person in charge hurriedly said: "I don't know if a total solar eclipse is rare in thousands of years in other places, but in the Western Desert, on the fifteenth day of every month, there will be a total solar eclipse. ”

"It's fun, it's fun!"

Lin Pingzhi immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I have grown so big, and I have never seen a total solar eclipse with my own eyes, this trip to the Western Desert seems to be about to increase my knowledge!" Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, so he immediately asked the shopkeeper: "By the way, what is the number today?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, but still answered truthfully: "Fourteen." ”

"Fourteen?"

Lin Pingzhi was slightly stunned, then reacted, then turned his head to look at Shangguan Yan, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Shangguan girl, it seems that we have to get up early tomorrow and hurry.........."
