Chapter 64: A Midnight Visitor
The three of them circled around and finally found a very well-preserved hut in the main hall of the courtyard, which seemed to be the room used by the former owner to rest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The hut is located in the hall, completely protected from the erosion of wind and sand, although it is old, the doors and windows of the house are still there, and the surrounding walls and floors are only a little dust and cobweb, which is an ideal place to rest.
The journey of the past few days was very difficult, and the three of them were really tired, so they took off their luggage from the camel's back, moved them to the hut, spread out the blankets and bedding, ate a little dry food indiscriminately, and fell asleep.
Outside, the black sandstorm was still roaring, and the wind was blowing up the dust as if it were about to swallow up the ancient city, even though its former glory had been buried by the eternal years and yellow sand.
This is a large mobile desert, the wind blows the sand dunes, the landscape is the same day by day, the prosperity of the past has long disappeared in the vast wind and sand, no one knows how many civilizations and cities are still submerged in this desert.
The wind and sand blew more and more fiercely, covering the sky and the sun in the vast desert blowing, but in the middle of the night it suddenly stopped, the heaven and earth returned to tranquility, the bright moon in the sky, shining on the yellow sand for thousands of miles, it seemed extraordinarily calm.
The desert is like this, the wind and sand change rapidly, when the wind rises, it is like a ghost crying and howling, and when there is no wind, it is as quiet as death, and even a needle can be heard falling on the ground.
Not long after the sandstorm stopped, the mellow sound of camel bells in the distance woke up the three people in their sleep again.
Yuwen Chenyi and Xue Liu got up and walked outside the main hall, glanced at the bright moonlight sprinkled in the air, and let out a long breath, this terrible sandstorm finally stopped.
But the melodious camel bells were so crisp, and who was still hurrying in the middle of the night? and the ghost fog that must have appeared at night, why was there no movement now?
The three of them were wondering, the camel bell had been from far and near, accompanied by the sound of people's conversation, only to hear a hoarse voice said: "This desert storm is really powerful, fortunately grandma knows how to observe the sky, so that we can avoid the past as soon as possible, otherwise, we must be buried alive." ”
A woman casually chimed in: "Of course, grandma worshipped Yuan Shoucheng as a teacher when she was young, and she learned the art of astronomy and astronomy, and even the sect leader praised her old man." ”
The hoarse voice snorted and said, "This time, Grandma is out of the horse, and it must be easy to find the remnants of the Martial Saint under the Holy Tomb Mountain, so I am not afraid that the people of the Spirit Sword Palace will seize the opportunity." ”
Just listen to the old grandmother's voice?: "This may not be, the origin of the Spirit Sword Palace is not small, they even dispatched the spaceship, they must be determined to win, we can't be careless." ”
The woman snorted coldly and said with a gloating smile: "As soon as this sandstorm comes, their spaceships are busy rescuing those teenagers, I'm afraid they can't take care of our side." ”
Another deep voice said: "There is always one thing that my subordinates don't understand, if the Spirit Sword Palace wants to seize the treasures in the Holy Tomb Mountain, it can be dispatched directly, why do you have to use the introductory disciple to select this title, isn't that a cover-up and stealing the bell?"
The grandmother sneered twice and said: "That Spirit Sword Palace regards itself as the Sword Sect in the world, and no one in the world can beat the swordsmanship, so I don't care about seizing the martial arts secrets left in the Holy Tomb Mountain, otherwise, if it is passed on, it will damage the reputation of their famous sect." ”
The man suddenly realized: "My subordinates understand, they want to be bitches, and they also want to set up a chaste archway, hehe, these decent hypocrites are much worse than our evil crooked ways." When the words fell, there was an immediate burst of echoed laughter.
Yuwen Chenyi and the three of them listened to it in their ears, and they already knew that the comer was friend or foe, so they immediately dodged and hid in the hall, and the other party's words also filled the hearts of the three of them with doubts, could it be that this entry selection was really as the other party said?
At this moment, the people who came also entered the ancient city, a group of people turned over and got off the camels, and by the moonlight, Yuwen Chenyi counted the people, a total of fifteen people, thirty-six camels.
Of course, Yuwen Chenyi didn't know that these people were the group of people who came after them set off, pretending to be a traveler, and when they turned over and jumped off the camel, their movements were light and their skills were extremely vigorous, and it seemed that everyone was a good hand.
I could only hear them say as they walked: "Grandma is really a god, this is really the remains of the ancient city." ”
The grandmother smiled and said, "Most of the ruins and ancient tombs in the desert are buried under the yellow sand, if you don't know the art of celestial feng shui, how can you find it, and the old body only knows a little bit of fur." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed twice, and said: "If you want to talk about the celestial feng shui masters in this world, in addition to my master Yuan Shoucheng, you have to count his nephews Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Yuwen Chenyi didn't expect that this old woman would have such a deep relationship with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment when he was distracted, the people who came also took a fancy to the building where they were hiding, leaving the two of them to guard the camels at the city wall, and the others surrounded the grandmother and walked over.
When Yuwen Chenyi and Xue Liu saw it, they immediately secretly said that it was not good, the three camels were still in the courtyard, if they came in, they were afraid that they would immediately know that there were people hidden in this courtyard, and the whereabouts of the three would be exposed.
But at this time, it was too late to hide the camel in the courtyard, the situation was urgent, first find a way to retreat, Yuwen Chenyi glanced at Xue Liu and the others, and the three of them retreated from the hall to the backyard.
Things were just as Yuwen Chenyi expected, as soon as the group of people walked into the courtyard gate, they immediately found three camels tied in the courtyard, and the woman with a long face like a horse saw it, and her face was gloomy and shouted: "There are people in this house!"
The grandmother glanced at the three camels, shrouded in the robes, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and said: "It must be a young man who participated in the entry selection of the Spirit Sword Palace, I can't imagine that some of these juniors can find here, yes, yes, don't be a killer, I want to live." ”
As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the sound of the weapon being unsheathed, and it sounded repeatedly, and more than a dozen people quickly dispersed and rushed towards the room in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Yuwen Chenyi and Xue Liu knew that the crisis was imminent, so they both pinched a cold sweat, stretched out their hands and pressed them on the hilt of their swords, and while preparing for battle, they hid their bodies and quietly retreated......
