Chapter 55: The Sky Falls into the Sand
Children must be educated, and even more so demon children, who come from the world of star beasts, do not understand the rules of the human world, and do not know how to live in the bustling city as a human being. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Su Yu felt that he had an obligation to train He Xiaotong. It's not wrong to eat, who can't eat? But if you don't eat enough to eat wherever you go, you shouldn't be human, it's a monster, and you're despised, you're scared. It's normal to love sweets, children love sweets, but eating too much will really hurt your teeth. Su Yu painstakingly reasoned with He Xiaotong and tried to motivate her with a candy ball. Sometimes an unlimited supply doesn't make a child happy, you have to let her learn to get rewarded for doing things, so that she will appreciate what she gets and reap the joy of it. Su Yu felt that he had found an excellent training method, but it was a pity that the sugar ball was quickly blown away by the rain when it was dangling outside, and He Xiaotong was also impatient, his eyes were only staring at the sugar ball dangling on his head, and the flight route became wavy, swinging left and right along the way, and finally swallowed the sugar ball with one mouth, and swallowed half of the fishing line into his stomach.
This time, there is no more concern, you can fly seriously, and the route is finally straight. Su Yu could only sigh regretfully, declaring the complete failure of this educational work. Then he heard He Xiaotong ask, "Is there an oasis in the desert, is there water in the oasis, is there any fish in the water?"
Su Yu had no choice but to reply patiently: "There is no water in the desert, and even if there is water, there will be no fish." ”
"Where there's water, there's fish!"
“...... It's raining in the sky, it's water in the sky, do you see fish flying in the sky?"
“......”
He Xiaotong was stopped by Su Yu's question, and did not speak for a long time, as if he was concentrating on finding the raindrops wrapped around the small fish.
"Little boy, how old are you?" asked Su Yu in a bored manner.
"Five years old. ”
"How much?"
"Six spins. ”
"You can cultivate to the sixth rotation at the age of five?" Su Yu asked in wonder, "Are you immortal cranes talented?"
"No, because I inherited my mother's star crystal, that's why I have such a high level of cultivation. ”
Star beasts can obtain rapid improvement in a short period of time by inheriting the star crystals of the same kind, this Su Yu naturally knows, but he noticed that the star crystals inherited by He Xiaotong came from his mother: "Your mother is gone?"
"Well, my mother, she was killed by a human monk. There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in He Xiaotong's voice.
“...... Did you die while fighting for the contractor?"
"No, a group of human monks went to Baishazhou to hunt us, and when they heard that they were going to take our star crystals and sell them for money, my mother and the other seniors got into a fight with them, and then, my mother died. ”
This time it was Su Yu's turn to fall silent. The relationship between human beings and the star beasts in the territory is very complicated, a small number of star beasts are kind to people, and can even be said to rely on humans for survival, and most of them have their own territory and do not invade each other with humans, but because the star crystal can be used to replace the spar cultivation, and can inherit the cultivation of their own contract star beasts, many people are keen to hunt beasts to obtain crystals. In the final analysis, it is all the plundering of resources, and the confrontation between humans and star beasts is intensifying in this atmosphere. My mother was beaten to death by a human monk, but she was still a contract partner of a human cultivator without a heart, and I don't know if He Xiaotong would be ambivalent.
As if knowing what Su Yu was thinking, He Xiaotong said in a childish voice: "Mom said that there are good people and bad people in human beings, and they themselves still kill each other, you can't think that everyone is a bad person just because you see a bad person, or a group of bad people." His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not a bad person, nor are the people of the royal family, they never hunt us, and they also send people to protect Baishazhou, but he always likes to beat me with a fan, and he doesn't give me money to buy food. ”
The children went around and around and turned the conversation back to eating. Su Yu knew that her gluttony couldn't be changed, but she still reminded bitterly: "The person who gives you food is not necessarily a good person, people's hearts are very complicated, and it is often ill-intentioned to please you for no reason." ”
"Therefore, what human beings want to eat and use, they have to take money in exchange. It's called an exchange of interests, and it's like everything you do, I know. ”
"......" Su Yu was depressed again, always feeling that according to her words, human beings seemed to have become a group of villains with unprofitable interests, but what she said was not wrong, so she had to pretend that she didn't hear it.
At this time, I had just entered the desert, and flew over the edge of the desert where the red willows and the Suosuo forest were, and when I looked down, I could not see anything in the wind and rain if there was smoke and fog in the distance. This is a little inconvenience of flying over the desert on a rainy day, after all, he still has to look for a hundred years old orchid, his vision is blocked, how to talk about looking for small flowers and plants in the vast sea of sand? But if it is ordinary weather, it is inevitable to be obscured by the wind and sand, so the work of finding flowers in the desert is not as simple as imagined, riding on the back of the crane and turning around, everything will be fine. Su Yu had no choice but to ask He Xiaotong to lower the altitude of the flight, and in order to distinguish the flowers and plants in the desert clearly, the altitude only dropped again and again, and finally it was almost close to the ground.
Then Su Yu noticed a very strange detail. Despite almost an afternoon of rain, the desert ground is still dry, and the raindrops fall to the ground and dry up quickly. It looked like it hadn't rained at all on the ground, which was obviously not normal. Although the desert climate is dry, it takes time for water to evaporate or seep into the ground, and although it is only a light rain, it should not be completely untouched after such a long period of time. The desert in front of him gave him the feeling that it would be assimilated into grains of sand as soon as rain landed. This reminded him of the rumor that the Phantom Sea Desert was originally a sea, and the sea water turned into sand, could it be that the rain also turned into sand?
Regarding the real illusion, the rumors about the dragon mirage turtle, after returning to Shashui City, Su Yu naturally heard some of them. He didn't doubt the authenticity of the legend, because in his previous life, there was no desert in this area at all, including the Phantom Sea and the neighboring Sand Water City, which was actually an ocean. The ocean on the other side, the desert on this shore, naturally made him feel that the desertified sea was real and credible, and the real illusion that contributed to this fact was naturally credible, but it was unknown if there was such an exaggeration as the rumor center.
Last night, Su'er came to see Jin Luohua and brought some news from within the Conversion Sect, including the saying that they were going to set up a star prayer formation at the edge of the desert to awaken the mirage, and this formation required three hundred and sixty monks to enter the formation to pray for the stars, and after the matter was completed, each monk could get the help of the mirage real illusion, which was extremely attractive propaganda. Su Yu felt that if this was the truth, and even he himself wanted to give it a try, who could not have a few long-cherished wishes that were difficult to fulfill?
Soon, he saw the circle standing in the desert from a distance. It is built like a circular castle, and the perimeter is surrounded by walls up to several meters high, after all, it is necessary to use graphite, cinnabar, jade and other formation materials to carefully arrange the inside, and it is still very necessary to build a high wall outside to defend against wind and sand. There are still people in and out of the formation, and it is clear that it is not finished yet. He had the intention to ask He Xiaotong to fly closer and take a closer look, and then thought about not making sideways, and then saying something like the magic array, he didn't understand anything, even if he went, he couldn't understand it.
But He Xiaotong was aroused by his curiosity, and when he saw it from afar, he shouted happily: "There are still cities in the desert, let's go over and see, whether we can sell food or not......" With a flap of his wings, he crossed a distance of thousands of meters, and he was already close to the magic circle. In an instant, Su Yu felt that an unknown source of qi was locked on him, and he was shocked in his heart, knowing that he had been detected by someone, which was already within the warning range of the magic circle. He hurriedly shouted to He Xiaotong: "Don't go over! It's a forbidden area, if you go, you're going to fight, get around it quickly!"
"Oh. As soon as he heard that it was a so-called forbidden area and there was no hope of entering, He Xiaotong suddenly wilted a little, made a ninety-degree turn in a hurry, and continued to fly south.
It lasted for a few minutes before the inexplicable qi disappeared from Su Yu's body, but he couldn't relax as much in his heart as before. Thousands of miles of desert, unobstructed, if you are good at tracing and tipping, it is actually easy to track down a person. If the man just now really wanted to embarrass himself, this trip to the desert may not be peaceful. However, this is a desert with no people, and if you want to use some means, you are not afraid of being noticed, and when necessary, you can only give it a go.
Thinking like this, He Xiaotong had quickly flown into the depths of the desert. As the refreshing coolness gradually faded away, Su Yu suddenly found that the raindrops that fell on his body were no longer rain, but turned into grains of fine sand. In amazement, I looked at the long sky, a dusk, and it was actually raining endless sand.
