"Master, I'll immediately fly to the desert to eliminate the demon and destroy this Soul Refining Hall in one fell swoop!"

The blood-stained handwriting on the jade letter faded with the brilliance, and Tianyunzi was really indignant when he saw this information. I just want to go deep into the demon cave immediately, and the sword will walk like a dragon, and all the evil demons will be wiped out. However, compared to Tianyunzi, who was angry, Xiaoyaozi, who was standing aside, was thoughtful.

Xiaoyaozi also has the same thoughts as his senior brother. But he felt that it was not that simple. Thinking of the vast and infinite north of the desert, between thousands of miles of wind and sand, I don't know how many magnificent treasures and unknown evil forces are buried. He once traveled to the rivers and lakes and heard the stories from the old people: according to legend, there were many treasure hunters in Zhongzhou, who longed for the ancient ruins buried deep in the desert, so they went deep into the desert to explore in groups.

Everyone encountered countless dangers in Mobei, and under some suffering, although they found the dusty palace under the yellow sand, the treasures in the sand that broke through the earth and shimmered with golden brilliance pulled them into the abyss of death. Legend has it that the treasures in the desert have an evil curse, as long as they are greedy and take away treasures from the desert that do not belong to the outside world, then they will be cursed by the desert, and then swallowed by the yellow sand, turning into a dry skeleton buried in the sand forever.

Kongchen Zhenren nodded approvingly towards Tianyunzi and continued: "The three of you are summoned by the master tonight to take advantage of this mission to completely erase the traces of the Soul Refining Hall. However, as a teacher, he still has a little selfishness. In this law enforcement mission, if anyone can get rid of the head of the Soul Refining Hall with their own hands. Then, the position of the head of this Xuanzhen Sect will be passed on to one of you as a teacher!"

"Master, this ......"

Tianyunzi was shocked, but he was not too surprised by the decision made by the real person of Kongchen. Their master is now only a millimeter away from the realm of 'returning to the basics'. And he worked hard all day long in the red dust and mundane affairs of the sect, and his white hair like frost and snow is the best testimony of his hard work in his life. Now, it is time for these disciples he taught to carry the Xuanzhen for the master.

His heart was sour, and he pulled his junior brother and sister to thank him for his kindness. Kongchen Zhenren looked at the three outstanding disciples under his knees with relief, and did not forget to instruct: "Now that the situation is urgent, lest the demons do evil deeds in the northern realm." So the three of you quickly pack up and go down the mountain immediately to the Northern Desert. But my disciples must remember that this journey is dangerous, and you need to be cautious in everything, if there are many demons, then you don't need to fight hard. You must find a way to defeat the demon. ”

"My disciple Tianyunzi, remember to tell the teacher. Although your cultivation is strong, you have a stubborn personality and are prone to impatience and extremism when encountering problems. This is something to be aware of. Remember, this time you don't just go alone, you also have to take care of your junior brother and sister. Therefore, when encountering things, we must consider them carefully and guard against arrogance and rashness. ”

Among the three, although Xiaoyaozi is still a little worse in cultivation and experience, he has a calm personality and a cool head. I often think twice before I act. Lin Qiuyue was shrewd and drew inferences from one another. And the most reassuring thing for the real people of the empty dust is Tianyunzi, who has the highest cultivation and the strongest experience. Although he is extremely talented, his magic power is outstanding. But his personality is as anxious as fire, and he always only moves forward when encountering problems. Because of his character, he worries the real people of the empty dust.

However, if it is not sharpened, although the sword is good, how can it be sharpened like clay? Therefore, the real person of the empty dust will take this opportunity to exercise Tianyunzi's character and make him a truly calm and powerful monk.

"What the master said, the disciple will definitely keep it in mind!"

Tianyunzi knew that Shizun had taken a fancy to him, and he couldn't help but feel a warm heart. He turned around and walked a few steps, but then looked back at the teacher who was swaying in the shadow of the lamp, with his old back swaying. Secretly determined, this time we must live up to the trust of the respected teacher and exterminate the evil soul refining hall.

......

Three days later, Mobei, Wangxiang City.

Wangxiang City is a border area of Zhongzhou near the Northern Desert. The reason why it is called "Wangxiang" is because outside the city is a vast and vast desert. This city stands lonely in the barren sand, like a Rongbian soldier stationed far away in Saibei, looking south at the hometown that haunts his heart, but cannot return.

Wangxiang City is a small border land, from here as the starting point all the way to the north, then stepped into the barren northern desert. This vast desert is so vast that even the most famous explorers in Wangxiang City have no idea how vast and vast it is. If you go four hundred miles deep into the desert and then turn to the east, you will belong to the territory and territory of the Heavenly Wolf Country. Legend has it that the people there are strong soldiers and horses, and the conquests are continuous. However, the people of Zhongzhou hold themselves as a big country, and the people do not think that the Heavenly Wolf Country is so cold and barren, and dare to lead troops to invade the territory of Zhongzhou.

However, it was said that Tianyunzi and the others went all the way to the west, and after Edgeworth first arrived in Qinghai County for a short rest, Xiaoyaozi discussed with the two, and in order to hide people's eyes, he turned to the north on horseback. Along the way, both climate change and people's clothing are transforming with the galloping horses. When I came to Wangxiang City, I saw that the people here were running back and forth between the streets and alleys, covering their faces with thick cloths and robes. It is used to block the wind and sand here in all seasons.

The three of them have just arrived, and they don't know the terroir. I had to ask the merchants. One of the merchants, with a beard, smiled heartily and said, "My distinguished guests, since they have come to the desert, they must abide by the rules set by God. There is a constant flow of wind and sand here all year round, so if you want to venture into the desert, don't go horseback. Let's ride those camels instead!"

After listening to the words of this kind merchant, the three of them knew how deep and vast this desert was. Horses are not adapted to the harsh environment of the desert, but although Wangxiang City is a remote place, there is no shortage of camels in the city. The desert is barren for thousands of miles, and it is difficult to discern the direction of progress, but the well-trained camels of merchants can carry people deep into the desert, and it can be said that in the desert world, camels are more important than people.

Tianyunzi arrogantly threw out an ingot of fifty taels of silver, and rented six strong camels in the city, as well as a large amount of dry food and drinking water. The merchants smiled when they saw that these three outsiders were generous and unrestrained. They all recommended themselves and wanted to serve as guides for the three of Tianyunzi. However, he was directly rejected by Tianyunzi. When they go, they don't know what kind of danger they will encounter, so these mortals who have no cultivation will never dare to take them with them.

What these businessmen didn't know was that the Linghe Division, a subordinate of the Xuanzhen Sect, had outer disciples who hid their identities in every corner of the world. They collected all kinds of information and secrets in the rivers and lakes for the Xuanzhen Sect, so as to exchange them for the cultivation methods and elixirs in the Linghe Division for cultivation. As for the many tasks that were posted in the sect, they could be taken over by the disciples of the Xuanzhen Sect individually. Of course, if you complete the task, you will also get feedback and rewards from the sect.

Because of this task system, Xuanzhen's disciples slay demons and demons and did many righteous things for the people. However, there is still such a peculiar way of task in the Xuanzhen School, and that is the task of leaving the teacher.

This task is unpaid and extremely difficult. However, once you pass the task of leaving the master assigned by the immortals, you will be able to smoothly send disciples from Xuanzhen. Or choose to stay in Xuanzhen and become a respected elder in the sect. And the task that Kongchen Zhenren handed over to the three disciples this time belongs to the category of the task of becoming a teacher.

When the disciples of the Linghe Division, who could not reveal their identities, were outside the city, they had already secretly connected with the three of them. A sketch drawn on a sheepskin was handed to the trio. The sandy areas depicted on the map are like snake roads, and the plants and oases along the way are clearly marked in detail. However, in all directions of the map, there are four markers with red skulls painted on them, as if they were blooming.

The location of these markers is the location of those Xuanzhen disciples, who used to detect the crystal to sense the location where the evil power of those demons had been haunted. Perhaps, in these locations, there will be a clue to the location of the 'Soul Refining Hall' Demon Cave. According to the guidance of this topographic map, the three of them stepped on the hunchback, grasped the raised hump of the camel in front of them, and galloped towards the endless border desert with the melodious reed pipe rhythm in Wangxiang City.

Although the wind and sand are large, they are perched on the back of camels, squinting at the clusters of trees in the dust and sand, flickering far and near, like a hundred snakes parallel to the sand marks are close at hand, this dark golden desert is endlessly beautiful. From time to time, there is the sound of camel bells, passing over the sand dunes in the distance, only the light of the sunset in the west and the rows of deep and shallow footprints left by camels stepping on the sand, still telling that their figures have come.

Everyone has never been to the desert, at this time, watching the red sun and sunset, the camel line, all involuntarily in the center of this beautiful desert. Lin Qiuyue rode a camel in front, her long hair broke free from the shackles of the hosta, and danced freely in the wind, reflecting her flowery face faintly revealed under the veil, these scenes were all seen in Tianyunzi's eyes. She seemed to have turned into a fairy in the wind and sand of the Northern Regions, cheering and jumping happily in this song-like world.

"Senior brother, look at it! there seems to be a village in front of you!"

In the distance, where the sun had fallen, the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected obliquely on the desert, rendering the golden sand dunes scorching red and beautiful. And just after the last bit of sunset fell, everyone vaguely saw that in the endless barren sand ahead, there were really earthen cities standing on them. The shape of the building is very similar to the shape of the houses near the city of Wangxiang, but the village appears in the sand, and in the silence, it has a little more quaint atmosphere of a lost place.
