Chapter 5: The Old Man in Red Sand City
The environment of the Red Rock Domain is very harsh, in fact, there are not many environments that can adapt to the living environment of monks, and at the same time, the problem is that the population here is also quite small, directly ranking last among the hundred domains, even if it is much rarer than the Tianmu Domain after the Great War.
In addition, the Tianyin Domain adjacent to the Hongyan Domain is the jurisdiction of the famous Yin Yang Mountain, and basically some talented and ideal monks have all gone there, which has caused the Hongyan Domain to be even less attractive to the monks from the outside world, so it has gradually fallen to the current point.
"This is also called a city?" Cao Wan'er said helplessly after walking into Hongsha City, "The population here is not even as good as those towns in our Tianmu Domain, it's really ......" After speaking, she shook her head. The population is sparse and the future is slim, and the monks with lower cultivation levels will face extremely dangerous living conditions, and she really can't understand how anyone can live in such a place.
"Hehe, little girl, that's a bit too much, you're not from the Red Rock Domain, are you? An old man with a hunched body said to Cao Wan'er with a smile on the side, "Actually, the Red Rock Domain is not as bad as you monks from the outer regions imagined. ”
Cao Wan'er glanced at the old man casually, but she didn't expect that this old man's strength was not bad, and he turned out to be a monk with about seven or eight veins, if it was in the past, Cao Wan'er would probably be a little more afraid, but now Cao Wan'er didn't care about this level of monk for a long time, and said to the old man casually, "Old man, isn't this bad? You haven't been out of this red rock domain in your life, right?"
"Wan'er. Rogan scolded in a low voice, "How do you speak, and you have to be respectful to your seniors." ”
In fact, Luo Gan didn't really reprimand Cao Wan'er, but now the identities of several people can't be exposed, it's better to keep a low profile and not cause trouble, although this old man only has seven or eight veins of cultivation, but who knows how many strongmen there are in the sect behind him? Now their strength has not yet reached the time when they have no scruples.
Cao Wan'er glanced at Luo Gan aggrievedly, and then bowed to the old man with an unhappy face, "I'm sorry old-timer, I was offended by what I said just now." ”
At this time, the old man was a little surprised, originally he thought that this little girl would not listen to this young man if she was so willful, but he didn't expect that the majesty of this young man was quite heavy, and these children were like disciples of the kind of gate sect who came out to practice.
The old man squinted his eyes and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, every monk is a genius in a day, how can there be a few who are not arrogant when they are young." But this little girl is right, I really haven't been out of the Red Rock Domain. ”
Cao Wan'er smiled happily at this time, "Look at it, senior brother, I'll just say this old ...... The seniors never went out when they saw it. ”
"But just because I haven't been out doesn't mean I don't know the outside world. The old man pointed to the north and said, "There is the Tianyin Domain, and there are many monks from the Yin and Yang Mountains who often come to our Hongyan Domain, so I also know a little about the outside world." But even so, I still think that our life in the Red Rock Domain is very good. ”
Now even Rogan and Muwen think that this is just a stubborn old man. Mu Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, this Red Rock Domain is full of red quicksand, fierce demon beasts, even the danger of hunting demons is much stronger than other domains, how do you think this kind of life is good." ”
The old man said unhurriedly, "Demon hunting is an extremely dangerous thing, and dead people are not normal. Haven't we monks fought with demon beasts for thousands of years, and still haven't fought against them, what is this? As for the so-called red sand, hehe, there are monks who die in the middle of it all the time, but I'm afraid that ninety percent of them are not the monks of our Red Rock Domain. ”
"What about the population, there are so few people, will there be any great development in the Hongyan Domain in the future?" Cao Wan'er then asked.
"Why do we have to have so many people?" asked the old man this time, "In our Red Rock Domain, not everywhere can build a city, only a place with an 'oasis' can build a city." Only an oasis can provide enough water and calm the aura in the air. The number of oases is limited, and if the population is large, the monks in the Red Rock Domain will fall into a panic of lack of resources. ”
They didn't think of this question, Rogan. If the truth is indeed as the old man said, then it is really not as good as the more people in the Red Rock Domain. It's just that the calm appearance of this old man makes outsiders always feel that he has a faint sense of showing off, which is very unpleasant.
"Okay old-timer, we know that your Red Rock Domain is very good, but we still have something, so let's not talk to you for now, goodbye. Cao Wan'er pulled Luo Gan and Mu Wen and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. The old man stopped the three of them, "I see that a few people who have so much prejudice against our Red Rock Domain still choose to come to us for something, if you need help, it is better to let me help you." ”
"You?" Cao Wan'er obviously didn't trust this "bragging" old man very much.
"Hehe, there's nothing around this Red Sand City that I don't know. The old man continued to "brag".
"Okay, then let's ask you, do you know where the red-scaled sand lizard is?" Cao Wan'er asked casually.
And the old man's answer was very crisp and neat, "Red scale sand lizard, of course I know." I saw it not long ago. ”
"You, you know?" Cao Wan'er rubbed her eyes and pointed at the old man in disbelief and asked, "That's a demon beast in the Bifu period, can you still see it as a monk in the Tongmai period?"
"The red-scaled sand lizard is not a vicious demon beast in the first place, why can't I see it?" the old man asked rhetorically.
"So, can you tell us where it is? We have something very important to look for this monster now. Mu Wen asked excitedly.
The old man smiled, "Don't look for it, the red-scaled sand lizard is in this red sand city." ”
......
Outside the Red Sand City, two monks in sky-blue robes were talking anxiously outside the city.
"Senior brother, the surroundings of this Red Sand City have been completely besieged by the Phantom Array, what should we do?"
"Alas, junior brother, I didn't expect that this red-scaled sand lizard had evolved to the primordial infant stage, and also had the ability to arrange the phantom array, you and I are not good at formations, even if we want to go in to save people, we are powerless. ”
"So, what should I do? Senior sister, they are still inside, and what about the monks in the Red Sand City. ”
"What can I do, now I can only wait for the master and his old man to come over. ”
"No, I can't wait, if my sister dies, I won't forgive myself. ”
"Hey, junior brother, don't be impulsive. You can't enter this phantom array, junior brother. ”
