Chapter 1: The Strange Man (Tianzhao)
On the desolate ancient road, the wind flew sand and rocks, and a figure faintly appeared in the turbid yellow sand, it was a man, the man was carrying a long sword, and the scabbard of the long sword still had solidified blood stains. A black cloth was wrapped around the man's face, a pair of blood-red eyes were squinted slightly, and he looked ahead tenaciously, every step of the man was so difficult, and every step was so difficult......
No one knows what the man has experienced in the past three years, since he stepped into this great desert three years ago, the footprints behind him have long been submerged in the yellow sand, and the man has never thought of turning back. Along the way, robbers and bandits robbed the road, monsters and demons were rampant, the man was only accompanied by a long sword in his hand, a long sword in his hand, the man killed robbers and bandits, destroyed monsters and demons, drank the blood of beasts, and ate raw meat, this road was too difficult......
The man himself didn't know, maybe at some point one day he would fall in this desert of yellow sand, swallowed by demon beasts, and buried by the yellow sand. But looking back, looking back, is it deception, cunning, self-deception, hatred, and incompetence...... The only glimmer of hope lies ahead, and the ...... lies ahead
The wind howled over the man's body, and the sand and gravel left countless scars on the man's body like a knife, and the black cloth around the man's neck was finally taken away by the wind. The man stretched out his hand, only to see that the skin on his hand had already been dry and wrinkled together like thin wood in winter, the man's lips were like the land that had dried up for countless years, his face was full of furrows, and he only had a pair of eyes, still looking ahead as tenaciously as ever......
Finally, the man fell weakly, the wind and sand were still raging, and began to slowly devour and bury the man, the man looked at the gray sky, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to feel that he had swallowed a mouthful of dry and hard stone, the stone still had a slight sweet taste, the man closed his eyes and thought about it, he had not drunk a sip of water for more than a month. It's like last time... The beast's blood that I drank last time... How ... How sweet it is......
"White... Bai Yu ......" The man had words in his mouth, looking at the figure of a white-clothed masked woman in the yellow sand not far away, the woman looked back and smiled, and the man also smiled.
But suddenly, the wind was even stronger, the sand and gravel were more ruthless, and in just a moment, the woman's figure dissipated among the flying sand and stones, and with it, the woman's laughter dissipated......
"White Womanโโ!!"
Suddenly, the man roared, and after a sound, the wind bowed his head, the sand and gravel avoided, and in the entire desert, the man's voice was transmitted for dozens of miles, and it could not be calmed down for a long time......
After the man shouted the last time, he could no longer stand up, slowly closed his eyes, his body was unconscious, and when he closed his eyes, a man's figure appeared in the man's mind, the man looked exactly like the man, but the man was white-haired......
Did I lose after all......
Bell and Drum City, formerly known as the end of the ancient city, is from the end of the eternal meaning of not interacting with the human race. It is the junction of the Demon Domain and the Danwu Continent. Starting from the eastern region of the Danwu Continent, across the thousands of miles of desert sand river is this bell and drum city, the existence of the bell and drum city, one is to resist the invasion of the desert yellow sand, and the other is to prevent the invasion of the Danwu Dalu human race......
The desert inside the city and outside the city walls are simply two worlds. According to the history of the Demon Race, on the wall of this Bell and Drum City, the ancestors of the Demon Clan laid down an enchantment to resist the wind and sand outside the city. Therefore, although the yellow sand outside the city is full of sky, the inside of the city is not affected in the slightest.
At this time, in the bell and drum tower of the city lord's mansion, it was very lively, the people were busy doing their own things, and the guards were guarding their own doors, and the owner of the bell and drum tower came back last night......
"Koharuko, I heard that the landlord brought back a man yesterday, but is it true?" asked a man to the maidservant next to him.
The maid looked at the current maid suspiciously, then twisted her neck and said, "Hmph! What's your business, just do your business well, don't talk too much!"
"Hey, Xiaochun, don't be angry, I'm not curious!" The man hurriedly lowered his head and said with a smile: "I think that no one has been able to cross the desert to come to this bell and drum city in the past thousand years, and it is rare to come here, so I can't inquire?"
Hearing what the man said, the maidservant named Xiao Chunzi suddenly became angry, pulled out the sword in her hand and put it on the man's neck, and then said angrily: "Who said that he is a human race?
Seeing Chun'er's reaction, and feeling a trace of coldness on his neck, the maid quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Yes! Yes! I won't talk nonsense anymore, it's me who talks too ......much."
"Hmph!" Chun'er snorted angrily, put away her sword, and left without looking back......
"Miss!" Chun'er came to a room, then knocked on the door and asked inside.
After a while, a daughter's voice came from the room: "Come in, Chun'er!"
Chun'er pushed the door in, and a woman in black walked towards Chun'er, the woman was masked in black veil, only her thick eyebrows were raised, and her long eyelashes were exposed with a pair of big watery eyes. The woman in black looked at Chun'er and asked, "Chun'er, is he awake?"
Chun'er looked at her young lady's appearance and shook her head, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, that kid's life was saved by you, but his identity ......"
The woman looked at Chun'er and then blinked with big eyes and said, "Chun'er, you also know that I was very yearning for the Danwu Continent when I was a child, so I got rid of my father and asked me to come to this Bell and Drum City to practice!"
"I've heard others say that the Terrans are very cunning and can't be trusted!" Chun'er said to the woman.
The woman just smiled when she heard Chun'er's words, and then replied: "It is recorded in the ancient books that the human race and our demon race are of the same origin, and the Danwu Continent is our origin place...... "Jushuku."
"Okay, okay, Miss!" Chun'er suddenly interrupted the woman's words, and then said: "Miss doesn't need to educate Chun'er anymore, if Miss has no other instructions, Chun'er will step back first......"
The woman looked at Chun'er's appearance and shook her head regretfully, and then asked Chun'er, "How is that son's health now?"
"After taking the pill, it looks like he has improved, but he hasn't woken up yet, when he wakes up, I'll tell Miss again......" Chun'er finished speaking, and under the woman's nod, she turned around and left.
After Chun'er left, the woman thought about yesterday's scene, yesterday's wind and sand were surprisingly strong, the woman went to the desert outside the city to experience as usual, just when the woman was about to return to the city after the experience, the woman suddenly heard a man's voice, the voice was hoarse and full of grief and indignation, out of curiosity the woman looked in the direction of the sound, and then met the man. When they met, the man's life was already hanging by a thread, and in the end, it was the woman who rescued the man back to the city, which saved the man's life.
"When he wakes up, he will definitely be able to tell me a lot about the human race in the Danwu Continent......" The woman said to herself, and after finishing speaking, the woman suddenly doubted, Chun'er, they are not thoughtful, since ancient times, the two races of humans and demons have had mustard, and Chun'er is no exception, with a suspicious mood, the woman quietly walked out of the room, closed the door, and then walked towards the room where the man was recuperating.
The woman came to the room where the man was resting, stretched out her little hand and knocked on the door, but when she heard no echo inside, the woman pushed the door and entered. When I came to the house, I saw the man lying quietly on the bed. The woman slowly walked to the bed, and in front of the bed, the woman looked at the face of the man on the bed, and muttered in her heart, this human race is the same as my demon patriarch, why are there people and demons......
After looking at it for a while, the woman suddenly saw the long sword in the man's hand, since the man was rescued by the woman, the man has been holding the long sword in his hand, at this time seeing that the man's hand has been loosened, the woman stretched out her hand to pick up the long sword, looked at the lines on the long sword and felt it in her hand, it was just an ordinary high-grade spiritual weapon, the woman pulled out the long sword, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh, although there were all kinds of blood stains on the scabbard, but this long sword was really bright and beautiful. Before she knew it, the woman was dancing in the spacious room with a long sword in her hand......
The woman's waist is graceful and delicate, the long sword used by the man has a unique flavor in her hand, the smiling cheeks are covered by a black veil, and a pair of big eyes are bright and sparkling with the tip of the sword rotating in the room. The sound of the woman's sword dance woke up the man, and the man's eyes opened slightly, only to see a masked woman in front of him, and the man was stunned......
"White... Bai Yu ......"
The man's hazy eyes looked at the woman, and two words came out of his mouth. Hearing the man's voice, the woman suddenly realized that he was awake, the woman turned her head in surprise, the veil flew and hovered in the air, and a pair of beautiful eyes then looked at the man on the bed.
The woman hurriedly ran to the bed and asked, "Are you finally awake......
The man looked at the woman running over, raised his arm with difficulty, and slowly reached out to the woman's face with a hand with chapped skin. The woman's face was puzzled, but she slowly moved her face closer to the man. I saw the man slowly stretching out the black veil on the woman's face, trying to remove the black veil from the woman's face. The woman suddenly woke up, her little face turned red, and she immediately stepped aside......
Seeing the woman's body retreat, the man seemed to wake up at this time, and the man who came to his senses looked around and looked inside the room.
"I'm sorry, Zhao'er can't show her true face since she was a child, and please don't ......blame the son," the wind chime-like voice came out of the woman's mouth apologetically.
The man looked at the woman, then withdrew his gaze, and said on Mu Ne's face: "Thank you... Thank you for saving me......"
"You... Where are you from?" the woman asked the man tentatively.
The man turned his head to look at the woman again, and then asked, "This is the Demon Domain?"
The woman nodded naturally, and then looked at the man expectantly. A smile suddenly appeared on the man's face, and he said in his heart that it had finally arrived, and it had arrived......
"Are you from the mainland? You're a human race, aren't you?" the woman asked again and again when she saw that the man didn't answer her.
At this time, the man suddenly looked at the woman strangely, and then asked, "You know that I am a human race, why do you want to save me?"
When the woman heard the man's question, she frowned, and then asked, "Why can't I save you if you are a human race?"
Hearing the woman ask himself, the man withdrew his gaze, and then said, "You are very similar to a friend of mine, so I just recklessly attacked Miss......"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it yet, it's not too late to talk about it when you're healed......," the woman interrupted the man, and was about to turn and leave.
Suddenly, the woman turned to look at the ugly man on the bed and asked, "What's your name?"
"Dugu Blood...... replied in a hoarse voice.
"My name is Tianzhao, and I am the owner of this bell and drum tower, when you are injured, you can follow me......" After the woman finished speaking, she turned her head and went out, and then gently closed the door.
