Chapter 125: It's Close

On the desolate Gobi, as far as the eye can see, there is a long stretch of yellow sand and sand dunes one after another, except for the occasional sand and dust that is swept up by the wind, there is no other movement at all, and the whole world is terrifyingly quiet.

In the distance, a man walked in the distance, dressed in tatters and staggering, looking like he had been trekking for a long time.

He raised his unkempt head, glanced at the compass in his hand, and then at the endless Gobi, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Why are you still in the Gobi? Could it be that Xiaobai gave me a fake compass?"

This person was none other than Li Yu, who grabbed the Heavenly Spider Fruit but did not return to the passage on time. Fortunately, at the last moment, Xiaobai found out that something was wrong and threw him a compass in time, otherwise he would have to be trapped in this Gobi.

Although he had suffered a crime, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of the scene of the scuffle between people from all walks of life before. How many people in the world can have this kind of vision, and can see so many masters fighting with strange beasts? Among them, there are many famous predecessors and masters in the rivers and lakes. Embarrassed, the majesty is lost. I don't know what kind of expression this appearance should have when their disciples saw it?

He was a little anxious to go back to the cave, to wake up the little girl, and to tell her all about what he had been through.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Yu's mouth couldn't help but smile a little, and even his unbearable hunger and thirst seemed to have weakened a lot. He clenched his fists and strode forward again.

As we walked, the Gobi once again rolled up wind and sand.

The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, so that he can't open his eyes a little, and he accidentally falls and rolls out of the way.

When the wind and sand passed, he was almost half buried, shook the sand and dust on his head, slightly recognized the direction, and was about to get up and continue to walk, when he was suddenly stunned.

It turned out that not far in front of him, a delicate small courtyard actually appeared.

The smoky cabins, the vegetable patches full of vegetables, the green cabbage, the red peppers, and even a few fruit trees full of fruit are all very attractive. The most important thing is that there is a well in front of the house, although I don't know if there is water in it, but just seeing this thing is enough to tempt people who have been trekking on the Gobi for a long time. Even the wind and sand will deliberately make a bend, and it seems that they can't bear to spoil this rare beauty.

Li Yu looked at this scene in the distance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. He couldn't even remember how many times he had hallucinated.

The last time it was an oasis, the lake was clear and the grass was green, and when he ran wildly and plunged his head down, he found that he had only gnawed a mouthful of yellow sand. Next, it was even more outrageous, he actually saw a smoky fire, and there was a whole roast chicken on it, which was fragrant. He was still bubbling with oil, until he heard a crisp creak and realized that all he was holding was a cracked skull, and the two black holes on it seemed to laugh at his ignorance......

He swallowed a completely non-existent saliva, choking on a sore throat. I wanted to take out the things in my arms and take a bite, but I hesitated when I put it to my mouth. This was the only Heavenly Spider Fruit he had snatched back, and he didn't plan to use it until the mountains were exhausted.

And according to the message that Xiaobai gave him before, as long as he followed the instructions of the compass, he would be able to get out of this Gobi in about one day, and then he would be able to eat as many fish and meat as he wanted. The fat roast chicken, the fragrant little yellow croaker, and the tender leeks are all added to the big bowl of hot noodles......

"Bah, bah, bah—"

Li Yu spit out the yellow sand in his mouth and got up from the ground, lifted his loose pants, and strode forward.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the wooden house, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. According to his previous experience, as long as he was close to three feet, those things would disappear, and now that he has walked to the door, these things are still there. He even saw the dew on the leaves with a sharp eye.

Standing at the door, he hesitated for a long time, but finally he raised his hand and knocked on it. Even if it's still a hallucination, you have to wake up, don't you? In addition to passive acceptance, sometimes active touch is also a solution.

"Tuk-tuk-"

With a crisp knock, the wooden door opened, and it turned out that the door was not closed at all. This time he didn't dare to go in, so he stood at the door in a daze.

The light in the room was dim, and he could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a person sitting inside, and the rest was unknown.

"Who?" was a woman's voice, but it sounded a little older.

Li Yu didn't expect that there were really people living here, he was shocked at first, and then hurriedly saluted and said: "The junior Li Yu passed by here, and he had no intention of breaking into the residence of his predecessors, and he also looked at the senior Haihan. ”

"Li Yu?" the woman muttered and repeated these two words, and did not speak again for a long time. Li Yu didn't dare to get up, so he bent over like this, but secretly raised his vigilance in case of the other party's sneak attack.

I don't know how long it took before I heard the woman say again: "The visitor is a guest, come in!"

With a soft pop, the oil lamp was lit, and the light in the room suddenly brightened a lot. Li Yu finally saw the other party's appearance clearly. It was a thin woman in her fifties, hunched over her waist, wrapped in a black cloth all over her body, with only one pair of eyes exposed.

He only glanced at it and quickly looked away, because although the eyes were large, they only had the whites of the eyes, and they looked extremely terrible. And he noticed that the other party was not sitting in an ordinary chair, but a wheelchair equipped with a mechanism. The armrests of the wheelchair are shiny and have obviously been touched for many years. He couldn't help but think, and he didn't know what kind of experience this person had gone through to become what he was now.

Although the woman was blind, her ears were extremely sensitive, and she understood when she heard Li Yu's changing breathing, and she groped for a bowl of tea and handed it over, saying: "This place is desolate and remote, and the old woman has lived alone here for decades without any guests, I don't know where this little brother came from?"

Li Yu hurriedly got up and took the tea bowl with both hands, and said respectfully: "The junior Qinzhou clan accidentally broke into this place because he accidentally got lost. Since the seniors have lived here for decades, I wonder if you can tell the juniors what is here?" glanced down at the cloudy tea, resisted the desire to drink it dry, only moistened his lips and quietly put it back on the table next to him.

"Qinzhou, Qinzhou!" the woman laughed twice, turned her head in Li Yu's direction and said, "Why don't you drink?"

Li Yu didn't expect his small actions to be discovered by the other party, and hurriedly explained: "Thank you for the kindness of the seniors, the juniors are not very thirsty." ”

The woman did not dismantle it, but grabbed the tea bowl, brought it to her lips and drank it in one gulp, and then put the tea bowl heavily on the table, and burped loudly when she was finished.

Li Yu watched her drink all the tea, regretting that her intestines were green, he knew that the tea was not poisonous, so why should he bear it. Now it's good, if you offend your master, you can still have good fruit to eat? It's good if you don't drive him out, how can you give him water again. He licked his chapped lips and stopped talking several times. His eyes were even more fixed on the stoneware teapot, full of anticipation that the other party would pour him another bowl.

It's a pity that the woman didn't mean this at all, but directly threw a picture scroll over, and said, "Since the guest is from Qinzhou, have you ever seen this person?"

"Yes!" Li Yu took the scroll and slowly unfolded it.

In the painting, a young man riding a horse and carrying a sword, with a tall figure, momentum like a rainbow, a pair of eyes under the sword eyebrows are as bright as cold stars, and with the tattered armor stained with dark red blood stains, a heroic image of returning from the battlefield is instantly established. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the standard image of Ruyi Langjun in the minds of most Huaichun girls.

Li Yu, who is also a man, was also a little ashamed of himself when he saw this person, touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Forgive the younger generation, such a character is really useless for the younger generation......"

Unexpectedly, the woman sighed and said faintly, "You have taken it backwards!"

Li Yu's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly flipped the scroll, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, seeing that the person in the painting had not spoken for a long time. Because it was none other than the Tang girl he was thinking about in the painting.

His heart began to pound involuntarily, although he had seen Miss Tang many times, but every time he saw this pretty face again, his heartbeat would still speed up. And this time, he ventured to the Extreme Yin Land like this, didn't he just take the Heavenly Spider Fruit back to save her?

Counting, he couldn't remember how many times he was born and died for Miss Tang. His persistence and recklessness make him feel inexplicable at times. If it was said to be for the sake of saving his life back then, but after so many years, he saved her openly and secretly I don't know how many times, and it stands to reason that he would have paid it off a long time ago. But he still couldn't help but secretly hide in the dark and watch her and guard her. Even if he knows that the other party has no heart at all, he doesn't care, as long as he sees her safe, as long as he can see her smile, he feels extremely happy.

He gently stroked the delicate face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a silly smile. It was an action he had done in his dreams that he didn't know how many times, and now he was trembling with excitement even though he was just touching a painting.

But when his hand touched the corner of the woman's mouth, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He remembered that Miss Tang had two shallow pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, but this woman had only one, and there was a mole at the corner of her eye. Although this not only did not affect her temperament, but added an indescribable beauty, it instantly extinguished the enthusiasm of Sect Master Li.

It was only at this time that he seemed to realize that the person in the painting looked older than the Miss Tang he knew, and his face was cold and beautiful, and his expression was arrogant, looking down on the whole world, where he looked like the stupid and stupid stupid girl he knew.

At the same time, about a few hundred miles away from here, the stupid and stupid girl in the mouth of Sect Master Li was standing next to a boulder, looking at the mountains of corpses in front of her with a shocked expression, and wanted to look away only to find that her body seemed to be under control at all.

A gust of wind blew, and the rich smell of blood suddenly rushed to her nose, and her stomach twitched violently, and she turned her head and began to retch.

Li Sheng, who was rummaging for something nearby, frowned when he heard this, looked up at the girl with a painful face, and her lips squirmed a few times, but she didn't say anything.
