The Northern Desert is a magical place.

It's a deserted place, but it's full of talent.

Birds are extinct here, but mountains and rivers are towering.

The mountain is a sand dune, and the name of the river reaches to the sky.

The sand dunes are endless, undulating, and the sky originates from the oasis, and the vast soup soup has no end.

No one knew where it was going, the river was unstoppable, across the dunes, across the desert, and far away.

There were also people who pursued and ran along the banks of the river, but never returned.

Some people died in other places, others were forgotten, and it remains a mystery whether anyone actually reached the source of the Tongtian River.

However, there has always been a legend about the Tongtian River.

Legend has it that at the end of the river is the Kingdom of Heaven, where the gods live and the gods practice Sanskrit, educate all peoples, and purify all sentient beings.

It is a desirable place, and many people have been pursuing it all their lives.

Xu Zidao also longed for it.

He was still young.

......

......

Looking at the serious expression of the master of the lantern, Xu Zidao felt that he was not lying.

He also had no reason to lie.

"It looks like this kingdom of heaven is going to go for a while!"

Xu Zidao had a reason to go, the predecessor of the sword slave told him on his deathbed that the Zhige Sword was different from ordinary swords, it was made of meteorite outside the sky, and the evil qi was too heavy, and it was easy to go mad, and it was necessary to use the green lantern of the Lonely Lamp Temple that had been inherited for thousands of years to eliminate this evil spirit.

Now that the Sleeping Blue Lantern has been taken away by a mysterious person from the Kingdom of Heaven, he is naturally going to go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

What's more, he was already very interested in the mysterious kingdom of heaven.

......

Xu Zidao looked at the place pointed by the master of the lantern for a long time, then turned his head, looked at the master of the lantern and said, "Master, Xiao Ke still has a few questions, can you solve the confusion if you don't go directly?"

Master Huilan coughed for a while, and then said, "Donor, please speak." ”

"I wonder how the master handled the corpses in this temple?"

There was a hint of pain on the face of the lantern master, and he said, "It's burned." ”

"Why is there no trace?"

"Buried by the wind and snow"

"What's the matter with the bronze coffin in the ashram?"

"Prepared by the mysterious people"

"Why are there only eight corpses?"

"The other four bodies have been brought back to Heaven by them. ”

"Why didn't the eight bodies take them?"

"They just need to condense the corpse of the elder of the relics"

"How did those eight corpses become dried corpses?"

"Being sucked dry of the essence and blood by others, and using the evil skills that have been cultivated. ”

Xu Zidao didn't ask again, and the master of the lantern didn't answer again, and the atmosphere in the room became quiet for a while, and the fire was almost burning to the end.

The cold wind was howling outside the firewood room, and large snowflakes were already falling, and in the darkness, there was a faint trace of a strange howl.

Xu Zidao still had a smile on his face, and waved his hands at the monk, "Thank you master for solving your doubts." ”

With that, he got up and walked out the door.

Suddenly, Master Huideng coughed, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his breath suddenly became sluggish, as if he was dying soon.

He beckoned to Xu Zidao and motioned for him to come over, he still had something to say.

Xiao Qi, who had been silent, suddenly became a little restless, like crazy.

Xu Zidao's eyes were already smiling into a crescent moon, and there was a harmless smile on his face, and he pricked up his ears and poked into the mouth of the master of the lantern.

Xiao Qi suddenly fell silent.

A sneer appeared on the corner of the lantern master's mouth, his eyes flashed with a cruel light, and his face looked like madness.

He suddenly stretched out a palm and slapped it towards Xu Zidao's heart like lightning, and a triumphant laugh came out of his mouth.

Just halfway through the laughter, his smile suddenly froze, and his face was full of astonishment, looking like he had seen a ghost.

His hand was grabbed by Xu Zidao.

It was as if he was caught in an iron tong, and he couldn't move.

"You...... How could you?" his face was already shocked, completely out of his previous madness.

"How could I see through your thoughts!" Xu Zidao smiled, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.

Master Hui Lantern was speechless in surprise now, just nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"It's very simple, when I checked the dried corpses in the bronze coffin before, I found a fingerprint on the neck of each of them, although you covered it with black lines, but you can still find it if you look closely, but I guess you painted black lines on their necks, not to cover the fingerprint but to cover the gap left after absorbing the essence blood!"

Xu Zidao's unique voice was transmitted in the dark firewood room, and every time he said a word, the face of the master of the lantern turned white, until he finished speaking, the face of the master of the lantern was as white as a blank piece of paper.

"When I saw the wrench in your hand, I paid an extra eye, but let me finally confirm that the person who cultivates evil skills is the one you once said that the target of the group of black-clothed people is just to breed a relic, the Shaolin Authentic Elder-level person, do you remember when I asked you where the corpses in this temple were?"

Master Hui Lantern nodded, "Yes." ”

"Since their target is only those few Shaolin monks, why bother to burn the corpses of the rest of the people, isn't this asking for trouble? It stands to reason that they should return to heaven as soon as their mission is completed, how can they still have time to burn the corpses, after all, they are still in the Northern Desert, and there are still masters in the Northern Desert, and if they stay longer, they will be more dangerous, they won't understand this truth, right?"

"If they were afraid that the corpse would be discovered and the desert master would track it down, so it would be even more unreasonable to burn the corpse, you also said that they came from the kingdom of heaven, since they came from the kingdom of heaven, they could go away, how could they be afraid that they would be discovered? ”

"So it's impossible for that group of people in black to burn all the corpses, they don't have that much time, it will take at least a day to burn the corpses clean, they can't wait and can't wait, so there is only one possibility, master, you lied, those corpses were burned by you"

"As for why it was burned, I think it was because the corpse base was too large, and all of them were sucked into dry corpses by you, so it was difficult to hide, so I simply set fire to it. ”

"As for why the eight dried corpses in the quiet room were not burned, but placed in the bronze coffin, I am afraid that there are two purposes, one is that the eight Shaolin Dharma Protectors Vajra specialize in cultivating the physical body, and their skills are high and not easy to burn, and the other is to attract nosy and curious people like me. ”

"After all, when you see the eight dried corpses in the quiet room and the terrible patterns on them, you will definitely be able to explore everywhere with the curiosity in your heart, as long as you are careful, you will definitely be able to find the firewood room where you are hiding, and then you will use what you just said to me to lure the other party into your trap step by step, and kill him with a palm while he is unprepared, you must have the certainty and preparation to kill with one blow, and then use this person's blood to linger, waiting for the arrival of the next person to send the dead. ”

"I have investigated in the wings where those monks lived, and found that no one has been in for more than a month, which means that at least a month has passed since that massacre, and it is really surprising that you have been half-crippled but can survive until now, after all, you have also been hit by the red fire burning heart, the fire poison attacks the heart, the meridians of the whole body are like fire, and the pain will be unbearable every night, like ten thousand ants devouring the heart, the person in the palm will festering and die of flesh and blood all over the body, and there is no antidote to last for half a month, unless someone uses years of power to help suppress toxicity or cultivate the magic skill of the cult that can suck people's essence and blood supplemented by agave, lily, Taurus dixian, Huai Ganoderma lucidum, spore powder and other medicinal materials mixed with the medicinal decoction can delay for a period of time, but the second method is used to suppress the fire poison, once the poison does not have a blood pressure system, it will be ten times more painful, there is no antidote within three hours, even if there is essence and blood, it is useless, and it will definitely die. ”

"Master, I don't know if what I said is correct?" Xu Zidao let go of the hand of the master of the lantern and smiled, but that smile seemed to the lantern to be the devil's smile, no, it was even more terrifying than the devil, because the devil would not know so clearly.

"You...... Who the hell are you?" said Hui Deng's body trembled slightly, and his expression was a little frightened.

"As I said, I'm just a passerby, a passer-by, and I have nothing to do with it. Xu Zidao looked at the lantern, his eyes were very deep.

The monk's eyes rolled, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more, it was so cold outside, but his body seemed to be very hot, his face was extremely red, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, which was hideous and abnormal.

A scorching breath erupted from Huiden's chest, and his expression became extremely painful, and suddenly, he threw the girl in his arms out with one hand, and grabbed his body fiercely with the other, as if he wanted to tear his body to pieces.

The time has crept in.

"Kill me, kill me!" Hui was like a madman, his body was twisted like a twisted flower, but his eyes looking at Xu Zidao were full of longing, and he had never been so eager to die for a moment.

Without essence and blood, he will not be able to suppress the fire poison in his body, and he will be in pain, and this feeling is worse than death.

Xiao Qi got up from the ground, ran to the lantern, hugged the lantern with his thin body, babbling in his mouth, and a line of tears had flowed down her cheeks.

Hui Deng's body suddenly stopped writhing, it seemed that there was no so much pain all of a sudden, he stretched out his trembling hands and touched Xiao Qi's head, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and tried to squeeze out a smile, his eyes were full of love and reluctance.

The corners of Xu Zidao's eyes suddenly became a little wet, damn it, the wind was so strong tonight that it actually blew sand into his eyes.

He wiped the corners of his eyes, and suddenly a small body was thrown away, it was Xiao Qi, Xu Zidao instantly ran over and took him into his arms, but Xiao Qi's body was constantly struggling, as if he wanted to get out of his arms.

"Donor, Xiao Qi will entrust it to you, help the poor monk take good care of her!"

Huideng showed a relieved smile on his face, and after reluctantly glancing at the girl in Xu Zidao's arms, he reached out and patted his head.

Xu Zidao hurriedly covered Xiao Qi's eyes and hugged her tightly, completely ignoring the fact that her arm had been bitten by Xiao Qi.

"Bang"

A hint of a watermelon cracking sounded, and the head of the lantern suddenly exploded, spilling red, yellow, and white on the ground, and a disgusting smell of blood filled the entire firewood room.

Xu Zidao sighed, "One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, master, may you rest in peace! ”

After that, Xu Zidao stepped on the ground with both feet, and immediately lifted a layer of thatch, and with a single move, the layer of thatch covered the body of the lamp as if consciously.

Xu Zidao removed his hand from Xiao Qi's eyes, and said lightly: "From now on, your name will be Mo Xiaoqi, you are my Xu Zidao's sister and my only relative in this world!"

Xiao Qi first glanced at the thatched bag, and then looked at Xu Zidao in a daze, with a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes.

Although she couldn't speak, she could hear Xu Zidao speak.

From now on, she is no longer alone, she has a brother!

A line of tears flowed from Xiao Qi's eyes, this time he was happy.

She knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times to the thatched bale, glanced at the familiar firewood room, and then walked out with Xu Zidao.
