The Desert Chapter Ninety-Seven Entering Shaliu Village for the First Time

The guardian of the entrance to the desert of the Tower, the legendary undead!

Ordinary people naturally hadn't heard of it, but in this place of the Qita Desert, they were an existence that even the Qingyun Sword Sect didn't dare to provoke easily.

Not for anything else, just because of their special physique that can't be killed and their innate and powerful abilities.

The undead can't cultivate, they can't become Inhumans, but it makes the Inhuman forces in the entire Qita Desert awe-inspiring.

It is rumored that the ancestors of the undead clan were once relegated to slavery for eternity because of their heinous crimes.

For thousands of years, the undead have suffered humiliation and can only survive for a long time.

The gods had mercy on them, so they made a pact with them, so that their people could guard the desert for 3,000 years, and at the end of the 3,000 years, they would be freed from their sinful bodies!

In order to allow the undead to better guard the desert of the tower, the gods cast divine skills and gave them three talents: innate divine power, streamer insight and immortal body.

Born with divine power, pull out the mountains and rivers!

Streamer discernment, discerning the world!

Immortal, stick to one side!

This is the origin of the undead!

"Then why do they only have a lifespan of fifty years?" asked the Moon Spirit, puzzled.

Lu Changsheng said: "I said, what you want to gain, you will inevitably lose something!"

Li Yueling still didn't understand, but Zhao Mingrui did.

"However, these talents are not what they want to get!"

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned, then sighed, and said helplessly: "Yes, they actually never wanted such a talent! But, as mortals, do they have the qualifications to disobey the gods?"

People worship the gods in the hope that the gods will fulfill their wishes, and the gods cultivate by absorbing the spiritual power of these offerings in order to pursue a higher realm.

It's a wonderful relationship.

However, when the gods are unable to satisfy human desires, humans destroy the idols, wear out their own beliefs, and interrupt their worship of the gods.

The gods are the same, when they rely on the worship of human beings to cultivate to an extremely high level, they finally become the beings who are high above, and human beings are just a group of ants under their feet!

It is not so much a relationship between the two as to be worshipped and enshrined, but rather to say that it is a process in which humans and gods use each other!

Humans use the gods to fulfill their wishes.

The gods use humans to ascend to higher realms.

When the gods sit high above the clouds, they will occasionally show "mercy" and they will perform miracles to release the so-called mercy that is so small to them.

They put these so-called mercy on human beings and then take more from them.

And as a weak human being, in the face of such an unfair contract, what can they do but have no choice but to accept it?

Zhao Mingrui raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, speechless for a while!

Liyue Ling frowned, thoughtful.

......

......

The night is approaching, and the temperature in the desert of Qita begins to drop rapidly, one second it is still a hot day, and the next second it seems to have entered a cold winter.

There were no flowing clouds in the sky, only the bright moon hung high in the air, quietly accompanying the three people who were moving forward in the desert.

An endless desert, a dead sea of sand. Majestic, quiet, scorching yellow single and deep, stinging the eyes.

In the yellow sand, occasionally dotted with a clump of trees, it is a sand willow. Clumps of sand willows are scattered in the desert, injecting some vitality into the originally dead and silent sea of sand.

In order to survive, Salix relies on their persistence to dig their roots deep into the sand, tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters, until there is a water source.

In the desert, once such a life is formed, it is difficult to die out, and the harsh environment can often cultivate the most tenacious and tenacious life.

Whether it's a plant, or a human, or something else......

If it is an ordinary person walking in the desert in the middle of the night, I am afraid that it will not take long to freeze to death, but Lu Changsheng and the three are different, they are aliens and can operate spiritual power to protect their bodies, but this does not mean that they can completely resist the harsh weather in the desert.

The three of them held hands, lined up in a vertical position, and moved forward step by step.

"Look, there's an undead village ahead!"

Just when the three of them were already exhausted, Lu Changsheng, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted.

Zhao Mingrui and Liyue Ling looked in the direction of Lu Changsheng's finger, and sure enough, they saw a patch of sparkling lights.

The distance is still far away, so the lights seem to be a little dim, but Zhao Mingrui's eyes are bright.

"Great, let's go!"

"Oh?"

Lu Changsheng glanced at him with strange eyes, and said jokingly: "Didn't someone say just now that they have no strength and can't walk?"

"Look at it, it's not me anyway!" Zhao Mingrui snorted, and then pulled up the two of them and quickly rushed towards the direction of the village.

......

......

"Shaliu Village?" Li Yueling pointed to the three big characters on the stone tablet at the entrance of the village and read softly.

"Is this village called Shaliu Village?"

Lu Changsheng nodded and said: "Salix is a plant in the desert that is extremely resistant to stress, they can resist wind and sand, and they are extremely resistant to severe cold and heat, and it is easy to reproduce, and their vitality is extremely tenacious. ”

"The sand willow is shaped like a torch, and the "five immortal" characteristics of drought, cattle and sheep gnawing are not dead, knives and axes are not killed, sand and soil are buried, and floods are not drowning, but they are somewhat similar to the immortal body of the undead people!"

"Salix is a fast-growing plant with a very high survival rate and strong adaptability. When the wind and sand are raging and the sand dunes are shifting, no matter how deep the sand willow is buried, as long as it shows its head outside, it can stubbornly survive.

Moreover, its roots are rooted in the ground like spider webs, and in search of nutrients, those rhizomes will continue to extend in all directions, and at the farthest they can even extend more than 100 meters away, and a single sand willow plant is enough to tightly gather the yellow sand flowing around it. ”

Zhao Mingrui said with emotion: "Hearing you say this, Shaliu seems to be like a plant version of the undead!"

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "That's why they named the village Shaliu Village, Shaliu, just like the totem of their clan!"

The three of them walked into the village side by side, the area of the village is not large, and you can see the end of the village from the beginning of the village at a glance.

The houses here are all low clay kilns, each of which is very small, and the windows are very small, but the walls are at least one or two times thicker than ordinary houses.

The climate of the desert is harsh, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, the precipitation is scarce, but the wind and sand are very much, although the undead have an immortal body, but after all, they are still human, and the five senses still exist.

They have lived in the desert for more than 2,000 years, and naturally they have long mastered all the skills to survive in the desert!

Lu Changsheng slowly stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of the first earthen kiln on the left hand side of the village entrance three times.

"Knock knock!"

There was silence for a while, and after about two or three minutes, a slightly low voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from inside the earthen kiln:

"It's late at night, and although I don't know why the guests came from afar, please talk about everything tomorrow morning and dawn!"

Lu Changsheng frowned, and continued: "We are a little tired from the journey, I wonder if there is a place in the village where we can rest for the night?"

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again: "The fifth room on the right hand of the village is the vacated guest room, guests please take care of yourself!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Changsheng thanked him and took Zhao Mingrui and the others to the outside of the earthen kiln that the middle-aged man said.

Zhao Mingrui looked around, and there was a trace of doubt between his eyebrows: "Why do I always feel weird here?"

Liyue Ling nodded and echoed in a low voice, "That's right, from the moment I stepped into the village just now, I felt that this place seemed to be a little weird!"

"Say something when you go in!"

Lu Changsheng frowned, was silent for a moment, and then directly pushed the two into the earthen kiln.

The moment the door was closed, Lu Changsheng waved his big hand, and a transparent spiritual power barrier was instantly shrouded outside the earth kiln.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Mingrui looked at him with a solemn look on his face and asked with some puzzlement.

Lu Changsheng glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Shaliu Village, it's really wrong!"

Zhao Mingrui and Liyue Ling were shocked when they heard this: "Did you find something?"

Lu Changsheng said: "The first earthen kiln on the left hand at the entrance of the village should be the residence of the village chief, more than 20 years ago, this village has just changed a village head, and I know the village head, called Baruta." ”

"However, the voice that spoke to me in the clay kiln today is not Baruta's voice at all!"

"Could it be that you misheard?" asked Liyue Ling.

"It's also possible that Baruta is retired, so they have a new village chief?"

"Impossible!"

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "I can't hear his voice wrong, besides, the village chief change ceremony is held every forty years, more than twenty years ago, Baluta just took office, how can he leave office now?"

"And what do you mean?"

"Let's hold our ground first, you two rest in peace tonight, I'll be in charge of the vigil, and I'll wait until dawn tomorrow!"

"Okay, then it's hard for you!"

Zhao Mingrui smiled and gently patted Lu Changsheng's shoulder, and then strode directly into the room on the right, fell asleep on the bed.

Listening to the sudden snoring sound in the earthen kiln, Li Yueling looked helpless, and then she turned her head to look at Lu Changsheng:

"Then we're going to rest, what are you going to do?"

Lu Changsheng smiled: "I have laid an enchantment around me, there is no problem with safety, I will first use my sword to roughly investigate the situation in the village!"

Without further ado, he smiled and nodded, and walked straight into the room on the left.

The sword knowledge released by Lu Changsheng, even her father, the dignified lord of the demon clan, is frankly difficult to understand, so it is enough to prove its subtlety.

After the two returned to the room, Lu Changsheng sat alone on the wooden bench in the main hall, and as the sword sense continued to extend and spread, his expression became more and more solemn!
