After a five-day and five-night voyage, Qian Yang and his party arrived at the last supply point before entering the sea of wild waves and sands, the Crescent Moon Continent.

Crescent Island is a small oasis next to the sea of wild waves and sand, named after its shape like a crescent moon. The cause of this may have something to do with the gentle flow of the Ling River here.

The vast Spirit River flows slowly through the middle of the oasis, and the turquoise water is particularly dazzling against this dim background.

The flying boat of the Hidden Sword Gate docked in an inconspicuous corner at the edge of the oasis, and several disciples disembarked and went to various parts of the oasis to buy daily necessities to take out and collect clean water.

According to tradition, all the flying boats between the Western Wilderness and Zhongzhou will stop here for a while, and the supply of supplies is one thing, and the supply of the soul is also an important part of the journey.

It takes at least two months to cross the sea of wild waves and sand, and even if most of the monks can endure loneliness, the two-month voyage in extremely harsh conditions is enough to daunt people, so it is necessary to build a psychological foundation before and after the voyage.

The crescent moon island is full of green trees, the scenery is beautiful, and the bank of the Ling River is even more pleasant. Most of the monks who rested here were trying to enjoy the rare tranquility before and after the storm.

There are monks who are in high spirits, and maybe they will throw a few poles by the Spirit River, and what they have gained is secondary, all they want is the peace and calm that they have forcibly earned.

Qian Yang had itchy hands, and when he got off the boat, he took out a fishing rod when he saw Linghe, and planned to go down to try his hand, but he was caught back by Wu Qingshui.

"Why is your heart so big?" Elder Wu looked helpless: "With so many people here to protect you, why don't you stay honest and let everyone worry?"

Qian Yang looked around, saw the peaceful demeanor of the monks of the Crescent Moon Continent, sniffed the beautiful smell in the air, and said, "It should be safe here, right?"

Wu Qingshui rolled his eyes: "Illusion! It's all an illusion!"

Qian Yang shook his head: "I passed by here when I came to the Western Wilderness before, and I stayed for almost a whole day, and the people here are busy with vacations, and no one wants to cause trouble." And in the big court, even if the surname Jin wants to do it, he won't pick it here, right?"

Wu Qingshui sighed, pulled over a Hidden Sword Sect monk from the side, and said, "Lao Zheng, come, you tell him about the situation in Crescent Moon Continent." ”

The one called Lao Zheng didn't look old at all, but his hairline was a little high, and his slightly squinted eyes flashed from time to time.

Seeing Wu Qingshui ask, Lao Zheng smiled and said, "Qian Daoyou said it well before, most of the people passing by here don't want to cause trouble. But there is one thing that Taoist friends must be clear, if you don't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to you. ”

Before Lao Zheng's words fell, he was catching up with a medium-sized flying boat full of mottled bodies and slowly taking off, slowly moving west along the Ling River, looking at the direction that he should have completed the most dangerous part of the journey in the sand sea, and flew to Yifang City after resting.

Qian Yang glanced at Feizhou, and was about to talk to Lao Zheng. Suddenly, several figures jumped into the air onto the flying boat that had not yet flown to a sufficient height, and after a few brief fights, several corpses were thrown directly from the boat into the Spirit River, causing a large splash.

The flying boat didn't stop, and it continued to fly smoothly in the direction it had just been, as if nothing had happened.

Most of the people on the ground just glanced at the flying boat lightly, then at the Spirit River, and then continued to spend their vacation as if nothing happened.

The only one who reacted to this incident was a certain fishing brother by the Ling River, and the corpses happened to fall not far from him, splashing him with water and startling the fish in the river. The eldest brother said "bad luck", took the fishing rod and turned around and left, it seems that there is no Yaxing who continues to fish.

In the blink of an eye, a few lives were gone, Qian Yang was really dumbfounded, and asked Lao Zheng in a trembling voice: "Is this often the case here?"

Lao Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "It's not like this often, once in a while! Anyway, it's definitely not as peaceful here as it seems." ”

"This is simply too exaggerated!" Qian Yang, a person from a civilized society, couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Lao Zheng smiled: "So, this person still has to be restrained, in an extralegal place like Crescent Continent, some people can't control their evil thoughts." ”

"Hmph!" A cold snort suddenly came from the side, and an old man with a rough face said viciously: "What does this have to do with whether or not to restrain or not? Nanyang has no restraints, but bastards like this kind of murderous and over-selling bastards don't want to live that day!"

As soon as he heard this, Qian Yang's eyes lit up, he grabbed Lao Zheng, who was about to refute, and took a few steps forward to ask, "Senior from the Scattered Cultivation Alliance?"

"I'm a casual cultivator from Nanyang, what's the matter?" the old man said in a very impulsive tone.

Lao Zheng couldn't help it at this time, and said, "Do you people in Nanyang talk like this? is also in the Jindan period, people call you a senior, do you really think you are a senior?"

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Politeness, I never talk about those vain, he is willing to call me what is his freedom, I didn't respond, and I didn't bother to respond, I have something to say!"

Lao Zheng was choked enough, and Qian Yang was also very congested.

As a fellow monk, Qian Yang could easily feel that although the old man's tone was blunt, he really had no ill will towards him, and the words he said were not out of place if he thought about it carefully.

You ask people questions, they answer, and then ask what you want to do, simple and direct, no embellishment, no twists and turns, no problems!

Qian Yangqiang squeezed out a smile: "I don't have anything to do, but I've never been to Nanyang, and I'm a little curious about it. ”

The old man's face was full of confusion, obviously Qian Yang's way of speaking made him extremely uncomfortable, but he still replied: "If you are curious, go and see, if you ask me, I can't tell you clearly, anyway, it's different from you!"

Qian Yang's sweat said in his heart, how did he meet this kind of hard-talking lord recently?

Obviously, there will be no results if you continue to ask questions on this topic, so Qian Yang decisively changed direction: "Since the predecessors are from Nanyang, why did they come to the Western Wilderness?"

The old man replied angrily: "I took on a task before, to find a large number of sand scorpion claws. In the South Seas, this thing is expensive and difficult to find. I thought about it, and I simply came to the wild waves and sand sea. ”

"Oh, has the senior collected it now?" asked Qian Yang.

The old man nodded: "The number is enough, I am going to take a flying boat here, go to Zhongzhou first, and then transfer to Nanyang." ”

Qian Yang blurted out, "Did the seniors find the flying boat?"

The old man turned around and pointed to a giant flying boat docked not far away and said, "I found a flying boat from the Chamber of Commerce, and we will set off in the next two days." ”

Qian Yang raised his eyes and looked at the flag on the flying boat, feeling somewhat familiar, and after a little thought, he suddenly realized: "Zhuyufang?"

The old man snorted, his face showing a little impatience: "Are you done asking?"

Qian Yang had to nod awkwardly.

The old man didn't say hello, turned around and left.

Qian Yang turned his head to look at Lao Zheng and made a helpless expression.

Lao Zheng smiled: "Qian Daoyou don't have to worry, these guys in Nanyang are all this virtue." ”

Qian Yang shook his head: "I also knew a Taoist friend from Nanyang before, didn't I find it so difficult to deal with?"

Lao Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "The kind you said has been with us for a long time, the so-called following the customs of the locals, and over time you won't see any difference." But this old guy, at first glance, has never been out of the South Seas in his life, and he has a wild habit, and he can't even say a serious word. ”

Qian Yang couldn't help but be surprised: "Do they Nanyang people deal with people like this on weekdays?"

Lao Zheng shook his head: "I haven't been to Nanyang either, but I've heard that most of the people there are loners, and there is little intersection between people." The so-called 'chickens and dogs smell each other, old and dead don't get along', that's what they are talking about. “

Qian Yang pondered for a long time before shaking his head: "I can't imagine what their lives are like at all." ”

"What kind of thing has nothing to do with us. Lao Zheng smiled: "Qian Daoyou seems to be very interested in Nanyang?"

Qian Yang chuckled: "No, it's just curious." ”

As he spoke, another flying boat slowly rose and flew east along the Spirit River. Qian Yang was a little nervous, staring intently at the flying boat, but fortunately there was nothing abnormal this time, and the flying boat gradually disappeared from his sight.

Lao Zheng felt a little funny, and said: "It's still very rare to have something like that just now, even if you really want to rob money, you have to step on it first, investigate the number of goods and the strength of the guards, how can you see one robbing the other?"

Qian Yang was a little embarrassed, knowing that he was frightened by the big scene just now, so he no longer dwelled on it, and instead said: "Zheng Daoyou seems to be very familiar with Crescent Island. ”

Lao Zheng sighed: "I have been running the road of the Western Wilderness for half my life, and I am familiar with the road and the head." Whenever the sect wants to come to the Western Wilderness for something, the first thing that comes to mind is me, and they have to send me over every three or five days. ”

Qian Yang was a little embarrassed: "This time I troubled Zheng Daoyou." ”

Lao Zheng smiled: "Where the responsibility lies, there is nothing troublesome and troublesome." Besides, I've always been good friends with Elder Wu, and I'm still very happy to be able to take him back for training this time, hahaha!"

Qian Yang could only shake his head and laugh.

Not far away, several Hidden Sword Sect monks who had gone out to buy had already walked towards the Flying Boat, and from the relaxed expressions on their faces, it could be seen that their trip should be quite smooth.

Lao Zheng straightened his expression and said to Qian Yang: "In fact, from the moment we entered the Crescent Moon Continent, we have already stepped into the only way back to the Hidden Sword Gate, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Qian Daoyou, now is the time to start." ”

Qian Yang took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

Lao Zheng smiled: "Then is Qian Daoyou ready?"

Qian Yang smiled bitterly: "Just think it's ready!"

Lao Zheng nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Then let's start!"

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion sounded, Qian Yang forcibly stood up in the violent tremor, and looked back in the direction from which the sound came, only to see that the Hidden Sword Gate flying boat they were riding on had turned into a huge fireball in the smoke and dust in the sky.
