After walking a few miles, the sky grew darker.

The old man respectfully said to Ishikawa: "Daxian, it's getting late, let's prepare to spend the night here." ”

"Okay," Ishikawa nodded.

The old man pulled the head sheep down to his side, and the whole flock gathered together. The four-lying sheep exude the warmth of a fishy smell.

The old man took out a fist-sized naan bun from his arms, broke off a small piece, put it in the little guy's hand, and said, "Huzi hurry up and eat it." ”

After a slight hesitation, the old man broke off another third, carefully wrapped it in a paper ball, handed the rest to Ishikawa and said, "Don't dislike it, Daxian, please have dinner." ”

"I want to taste it" Before Ishikawa could speak, Harukawa took it, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Ahem" just swallowed a few bites, Qingchuan coughed, this bag has been stored for too long, it has long been air-dried, and it is full of crumbs when you bite it. Because of this, it can be stored for a long time and is not easily damaged.

Ishikawa could see at a glance that this bag should be the last surplus grain of the ancestors and grandchildren, and it was the grain that the two insisted on going to Mingzhu Lake.

The old man was careful just now, and he didn't even waste a single scrap, which showed the preciousness of this thing in the old man's heart, and the old man didn't eat it himself, so he gave this precious ration to Ishikawa and Harukawa.

These are all in Ishikawa's eyes, although the old man gave food, there may be an element of fear, but such behavior also made Ishikawa a little moved.

Qingchuan, although she is also close to twenty years old, she entered the Shuiling Gate at a very young age, and in the Xianmen, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at all. The outer disciples did their best to prepare their meals. What's more, as a cultivator, it doesn't matter if you don't drink or eat for a few days.

So Harukawa didn't think long as Ishikawa, who had been wandering around for years.

Seeing Harukawa coughing, Huzi took out the thorn honey that Ishikawa gave him from his arms, fed it to Harukawa, and said, "Sister, you take a sip, just take a sip." ”

Harukawa took a sip and kissed Huzi's face.

Huzi carefully put away the vial, chewing vigorously on the bun in his mouth, and seemed to be choked, but his face was flushed, and he didn't move the honey anymore.

"Huzi, did you hide the honey and drink it secretly at night?". Harukawa said funny.

"No, I'm going to leave it for my mother and father. The honey was so sweet, sweeter than the water in the Pearl Lake, they must have never drunk it. Huzi said with a straight look.

As soon as these words came out, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned. No one thought that a child would be able to say such a thing.

"Senior Brother Shi......" Harukawa looked at Ishikawa as if pleading.

Ishikawa nodded, took out a few bottles of thorn honey from his arms, and said, "This bottle is for your father, this bottle is for your mother, this bottle is for your grandfather, and the rest is yours." ”

"Really?" Huzi's eyes lit up, and he reached out to pick it up, but he shrank back embarrassedly.

Harukawa took it directly from Ishikawa's hand, handed it to Huzi and said, "Take it, don't be polite to your brother." ”

"Thank you Daxian" The old man hurriedly said respectfully: "Huzi still doesn't thank Daxian." ”

"Thank you, brother...... Brother Daxian ......" Huzi picked up a bottle of thorn honey and handed it to the old man.

"Grandpa doesn't drink it, you drink it. Naturally, the old man refused to touch his little grandson's favorite.

"Harukawa just ate your dry food, and now it's time for you to taste ours. Ishikawa said with a smile.

With a wave of his hand, Ishikawa took out all kinds of spirit fruits from the Immortal Mansion.

The spirit trees that bear the spirit fruit were all collected by Ishikawa in the ancient ruins, and after being planted for a period of time, they also blossomed and bore fruit.

Since he came out of the ancient ruins, Ishikawa has no time to take care of the spirit grass and spirit trees in the immortal mansion, and most of the spirit fruits have been made into fruit wine by Ahuizotl. ...,

However, there is a lot of leftover fruit, enough for several people to eat.

As soon as the spirit fruit came out, the fragrance with spiritual power immediately spread to everyone's taste buds.

"Brother Shi, there are so many good things, and you won't give them to me. Qingchuan pretended to be angry, picked up a spirit fruit, and handed it to Huzi.

Huzi closed his eyes, smelled the aroma of the fruit, and couldn't bear to swallow it for a long time.

"Huzi eat, there are more. Qingchuan also picked up a fruit and took a bite lightly, and a spiritual aura ran through his body.

"Brother Shi, this is ......" Qingchuan originally thought that this was an ordinary fruit, but he didn't expect that there was such a strong aura of spiritual power, and ordinary monks taking these fruits were much better than taking low-grade pills. And mortals can prolong their lives if they take it, and even some mortals with higher qualifications may also be enlightened after taking the spirit fruit.

The spirit fruit trees planted in the Great Gate Sect of the Ancient Ruins naturally can't be too bad.

Ishikawa smiled and nodded, not saying much.

These two mortals, one old and one young, are just two passers-by in Ishikawa's experience, and these two people may not be able to taste this spiritual fruit again in this life, and it will be difficult to see Ishikawa and Harukawa. So Ishikawa didn't want the two of them to know that these fruits were spirit fruits.

After smelling it for a long time, Huzi suddenly took a big mouthful, took a big bite of the pulp, and held it in his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face.

"It's delicious, it's delicious," Huzi shouted indistinctly, and he took a big bite of it, and soon a spirit fruit entered his belly.

"Grandpa, you eat too. ”

Ishikawa also picked up a spirit fruit and tasted it slowly. The old man picked the youngest one and ate it slowly.

The smallest fruit, called the longevity fruit, is the most precious of these fruits, and it can be refined into an elixir that can increase longevity.

And after taking it directly, it can also increase the longevity of ten years, which may not be anything for ordinary monks, but for ordinary mortals, ten years of longevity is a lot.

"Thank you for the gift of the two great immortals. The old man said respectfully, it was the first time in his more than sixty years that he had eaten such a sweet fruit.

"Don't be polite, I still have a lot of fruits, let's eat them these days, don't dislike them when the time comes. ”

"Really?" After Huzi swallowed three spirit fruits, his small stomach was round.

"Really. Ishikawa patted his little belly and said.

..............................

Three days later, Ishikawa and the others drove the flock, and a touch of green could already be seen.

This green, in the whole desert, is extremely conspicuous.

The old man told Ishikawa that this Pearl Lake oasis is one of the richest places in the quicksand ridge, and most of the shepherds will go to Pearl Lake every few years. Many relatives gathered in the Pearl Lake Oasis, the big girl and the young man set up a marriage on the shore of the Pearl Lake, and the sheep gave birth to children near the Pearl Lake.

However, in the vicinity of Pearl Lake, you can't stay for more than a month, once you exceed a month, your limbs will be numb, your joints will be extremely sore, and there is no one to treat this disease.

The last time the old man came to Pearl Lake was three years ago, when Huzi was only five years old. Huzi's parents paid for three years of shepherding sheep in exchange for this group of sheep.

Three years later, the old man took Huzi back and reunited with Huzi's parents, so that the family could have more than 40 sheep, and when Huzi reached adulthood, the number of sheep was enough for Huzi to marry a daughter-in-law.

Speaking of these, the old man showed a warm smile on his face, and the smile was naturally full of expectations for family reunion.

After a few days of contact with Ishikawa, the old man was already very open. And Huzi and Qingchuan also became intimate.

"Sister, you must meet my mother, my mother is as beautiful as you. ..., Qingchuan scratched Huzi's little nose and said, "You are so beautiful, your mother must be much more beautiful than me." ”

Huzi was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Ishikawa and Harukawa both changed into ordinary clothes, although they were not the same as the herdsmen of the quicksand ridge, but it did not make people feel that the two were dressed differently.

Ishikawa learned from the old man's words that there was a lot of people on the quicksand ridge, and there were a lot of business trips to and fro. So Ishikawa plans to find someone else to confirm the location.

If it would be better to meet a monk, Ishikawa could exchange maps with him and get more information.

In addition, the fact that mortals could not stay near Pearl Lake for a month also aroused Ishikawa's curiosity.

"It's here, it's coming" There are still dozens of feet away from the oasis, Huzi couldn't bear it, jumped and jumped happily, and didn't forget to hold the thorn honey vial on his chest.

The Pearl Oasis is huge, and from a distance, the radius should be several miles long and wide. Finding people in such a large oasis is not an easy task.

But the old man must have found his wife and daughter-in-law.

"Uncle, Pearl Lake has arrived, let's separate here. Ishikawa arched his hand and said.

The old man bowed respectfully: "Thank you Daxian for taking care of you along the way." ”

Ishikawa smiled slightly, and didn't say more, pulled Harukawa, and left in the farewell of the tiger.

Soon, the two entered the oasis. As soon as he entered, Ishikawa felt a cold air spread throughout his body, and the heat in the desert swept away.

Ishikawa frowned slightly, obviously, this is not the shade brought by the oasis, but a very special kind of cold, directly into the bone marrow, no wonder staying here for a long time will make people numb their hands and feet.

"Brother Shi, there is something strange in this oasis. Harukawa whispered.

Ishikawa nodded, not saying much. If he could find out the source of this cold aura, Ishikawa would also be interested in exploring it. But if he couldn't find out, Ishikawa didn't bother to look for it.

The oasis is huge, and the two of them walked in it for a long time before they saw Pearl Lake.

The water of Pearl Lake is sky blue, like a huge blue gem, set in an oasis.

Ishikawa took a look at the water and felt that it was extremely deep.

Around the lakeside, there were some people standing in twos and threes. However, the distance is very far away, and it is not easy to see clearly.

Shepherd, Ishikawa skipped, Ishikawa wanted to look for merchants who had traveled long distances, and it would be great if he could meet monks passing through this place...... ，
