The stars are in the sky, and the long night is coming.

The canopy had gone dark. The distant sound of camel bells still echoed in my ears. Following the trail of camels left in the deserted sand, the caravan could be seen to have reached the outskirts of the village that had previously been out of sight. The three of Tianyunzi jumped off the hunchback, lifted the lamp, and the dim shadow of the lamp illuminated this lost settlement.

Previously, everyone rode on the hump and watched from afar, only thinking that this village was an inhabited supply zone. But when I came here in the light of the stars and moon, there was a different scene in front of me. But seeing that this is deserted, in the dark desert, a large number of houses that have long collapsed are like inscriptions inserted in the desert sand. The wind whined through the empty abandoned houses, and there was a terrible sound like a ghost horn, which made people feel eerie and terrifying.

"The Village of Shah Rukh ......"

At this time, with the help of the lamp, everyone found an inscription buried in the barren sand at the head of the village. This inscription is mutilated and ancient, and the history of this ancient village is still preserved. Xiaoyaozi is quite familiar with some lost texts. He stepped forward, waved the sleeves of his robe, and shook the dust on the stele, and carefully watched the ancient words on the stele under the light. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh and explained to Tianyunzi and the two:

"Shah Rukh is the former founder of this village. This strange name does not belong to the Han people of the Central Plains, it is a Hu people who came to Mobei to explore from the western country. This person has a good heart, and seeing the fierce evil of the wind and sand here is like devouring evil spirits. So he paid for the people to gather the people and build this village here, so that those who had lost their way in the desert could get some rest and supplies here. ”

However, the age of this stele is too old, and the wind and sand have eroded it, and now only half of it remains. Here are some weird symbols and spells. It's like some spells that are circulating in the West. Seeing this half of the broken stone tablet, Xiaoyaozi was a little puzzled, the Taoism of the Western Kingdom and the Taoism of Zhongzhou are basically different. He didn't know these strange words.

However, he saw these runes flowing in his mind, but he seemed to be able to read some shallow meanings in general by relying on his powerful cultivation. His eyes were confused, and after a while, he slapped his thigh and said: "This is a strange magic decision, it seems that it is to seal some evil power here, and the most obvious, a cross mark, is where the eye of this sealing formation is." But time has passed, and this formation cannot seal the power in it forever. Under the erosion of nature, the seal was broken. ”

"Since it's a sealing technique, I don't know, what are these spells trying to suppress?" Lin Qiuyue squatted down and said.

She was puzzled in her heart, and after carefully analyzing the description of the inscription and the desolate and dilapidated scene in front of her, she couldn't help but have a bold guess in her heart. However, she did not dare to imagine what a tragic situation it must be.

"Senior sister, what do you think?" Tianyunzi saw Lin Qiuyue biting her lip on the side, a little difficult to accept what happened, and couldn't help but ask her softly. Lin Qiuyue raised her head, looked at the vast starry sky in the sky, and said gloomily:

"I think the villagers here used to fight with demons, and the whole village ......"

Xiaoyaozi nodded, he thought so too. But the truth of history has long been blocked by dust and sand. But what worries Xiaoyaozi is what exactly they are suppressing. As the years passed, the circle had lost its effectiveness. Presumably, the power that was once imprisoned here has escaped.

"Senior brother, junior sister. The place is surrounded by sandbanks and strong winds. We might as well rest here for the night. When the weather is clear tomorrow morning, we will go on the road to find the Soul Refining Hall. Xiaoyaozi proposed. Although this place is in the dark, it looks like a terrifying ghost city. However, these three people are all advanced cultivators, and even if there are ghosts here, they will not be afraid. The three of them led the camel into this deserted village and looked for a place to rest.

The scale of this deserted village is not large, but in order to protect it from the wind and sand, the walls here are relatively thick, and there are few doors and windows. Tianyunzi found a half-collapsed wall in front of him. Drilling through the hole in the wall, there was an abandoned house that was sheltered from the wind and sand. It's also a great place to spend the night. But in this dark deserted village, you can't help but be prepared.

Xiaoyaozi carefully buried a few traps in the surrounding sand pits, but he was not relieved, and said, "Senior brother, the three of us need to recharge our energy tonight. But you can't ignore the safety outside. So the three of us were on duty in shifts. As long as we are cautious, if there is a demon who commits an offense, we will also have a chance to deal with it. ”

Tianyunzi and Lin Qiuyue nodded yes, then the fire was raised, dry food and milk tea were roasted, and the three of them had their stomachs full. Then they spread blankets in the abandoned house and went to sleep. Xiaoyaozi drilled out of the wall, jumped to the roof, held the sword in his arms, and looked into the distance in the starry night, looking for a way to tomorrow, and beware of unknown enemies.

After the third watch, there was no situation at all. Xiaoyaozi returned to the room, evoked Tianyunzi, and asked him to stay on duty. Tianyunzi smiled, took the sword in his hand, and walked out.

Tianyunzi got up and came out and asked Xiaoyaozi to change shifts and go to sleep. But Lin Qiuyue in the blanket was completely sleepy, and followed Tianyunzi to the outside of the house. Looking at Lin Qiuyue, who was thinly dressed, Tianyunzi couldn't help but say with concern: "Senior sister, Mobei is bitterly cold, I originally intended to let you sleep peacefully for a night, and we have to rush tomorrow." ”

"No, it's dark in that room, and I'm going to be with my brother. Where there is a senior brother, Ah Yue will not be afraid. Lin Qiuyue smiled softly, leaned beside him, and the two of them sat side by side by the broken stone wall, looking up at the enchanting moonlight in the sky.

"Senior brother, where will we go after our mission is completed this time?" she snuggled up to her brother, who was holding her heart, and seemed reluctant to let him go. Seeing her like this, Tianyunzi not only smiled, rubbed her long hair, and said, "Senior sister, do you know? After this mission is over, Senior Brother will give up his position as the head of the family, bid farewell to his master, and go to a place that Senior Brother has been looking forward to for a long time. However, in that place, Senior Brother can't go alone. ”

"That'...... Ah Yue accompanies Senior Brother, as long as Senior Brother goes, Ah Yue also wants to follow Senior Brother!" Lin Qiuyue's tone was very normal, but the palm holding his arm involuntarily tightened.

"That place is...... Red Hall. ”

Tianyunzi smiled and looked at the junior sister beside him. His eyes seemed to be shining, and at this moment, even the stars in the sky did not have the gentleness of the light in his eyes when he looked at Lin Qiuyue. This is a sentence that Tianyunzi has been brewing for a long time before he plans to say it. In his heart, there has always been only Lin Qiuyue alone, and now he plans to seal the sword from the rivers and lakes, and the rest of his life will be long, if he can accompany her for the rest of his life, this is the only expectation in his life.

"Senior brother, Ah Yue is willing to ......" Her watery eyes docked with Tianyunzi, and her cheeks, which were as red as clouds, finally revealed a happy smile. This night was deep, and she hugged him in the quiet starlight.

"Ah Yue, senior brother will definitely love you forever and forever, protect you, and not let you be hurt at all......"

Tianyunzi hugged her fragrant and soft body, and at this moment, he finally got his happiness. Next to the collapsed house, Xiaoyaozi smiled and looked at the two people hugging each other with relief, he also knew that his senior brother and sister had each other in their hearts, but in the days they got along, neither of them showed this affection to each other. It was only at this moment that they opened their hearts under the beautiful moonlight, and this relationship was really admirable.

Under the bright moon, feelings flow. The two people who hugged each other tightly in the quiet world did not realize that in the yellow sand that covered the ground, something was faintly swimming in it. The body arched in the sand rolled like a ball, moving straight like thunder. At that critical moment, Tianyunzi suddenly had a thunderbolt in his mind, although he was in a gentle country at this time, but his cultivation was so strong that he almost didn't need to look at it with his eyes, and he knew that danger was coming.

The long sword leaning in the corner of the wall beside him suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword aura was like the wind, and as soon as it struck, it swept away several zhang of yellow sand around it. Slash out the unknown enemy hidden among the gravel. It shattered on a mud wall in the distance. At this time, Xiaoyaozi also came with his sword, and the three of them drew their swords together to face the attackers who came late at night. Lin Qiuyue shone the light on the dark wall, but saw that there was no one on the wall, and the sand below was crawling with unknown long insects.

The bugs were dark green, and disgusting sticks of slime stuck to their bodies, and the previous attack hidden in the sand was the attack of these long worms rolling in with disgusting slime. Seeing these disgusting insects, Lin Qiuyue almost threw up, and she didn't dare to look at the distorted state anymore. Tianyunzi stepped forward, protected Lin Qiuyue behind him, and said sharply:

"Where is the demon, Hugh has to pretend to be a ghost in the dark, and show up quickly!"

"Haha...... Hahaha......"

As soon as Tianyunzi's words fell, the poignant laughter echoed in this deserted village. Where you step underfoot, the yellow sand rolls and all of them begin to flow. And in the surrounding field of vision, a somewhat scarlet blood mist began to fill. But I don't know what kind of trick this demon sells. Tianyunzi gestured, and the three of them jumped up and climbed straight onto the roof.

"You disgusting righteous people, bury your uncle in Mobei!hahaha!"
