Chapter 414 Journey to the Sheep Bone Desert
After three rounds of drinking, everyone talked more. Although Ouyang Invincible and Sima Ruthless usually pretended to be so arrogant, and every time before the battle, they pretended to be cool and said something like "I happened to come to have a fun today", but now, they all let go of their hearts and say whatever comes to mind.
In short, drinking and chatting with good brothers, you don't have to worry about more questions at all, and everything seems very casual.
And Zhao Yanling listened to them talk about many things in the past, and applauded from time to time, which was very novel and interesting. As for those silver-armored guards, they sat at another table, the reason was very simple, they were Zhao Yanling's subordinates, and they were not qualified to eat at the same table with Zhao Yanling, the young master.
Over the years, the adventurous Zhao Yanling has often led the team to continue to venture in the rivers and lakes of the land of Zhenwu, and has also gained her own resounding name.
But the experiences and interesting past stories that Duan Yu, Ouyang Wushu and Sima Wuru talked about were something that Zhao Yanling couldn't think of at all.
Because Zhao Yanling is the daughter of the city lord of Platinum City, her status is noble, every time she comes out to practice, she will bring at least two masters of the Innate Jindan realm to protect her, and there are many guards with very good strength.
Just like Xuanyuan City's Yishi Fengyan, the two Xuanyuan City's innate Jindan martial artists at that time were also wholeheartedly protecting Yishi Fengyan at any time.
No matter what the situation encounters, and what is important, they will unswervingly fulfill their mission, which is to protect the Alien Flame, so that they completely ignore other things. It's quite unreasonable.
In fact, they had to. Otherwise, they did not fulfill their mission and fulfill their responsibilities. As a result, the important targets of protection are seriously harmed, and when they return, the severe punishment is simply not something they can bear.
Even if you wander the world and flee everywhere, you will still be chased and killed by the masters of the main city, which is not a good strategy after all.
Why is it interesting that Duan Yu and the three brothers talked about the past?
First, when Duan Yu's martial arts were not high, he still dared to take risks in the rivers and lakes. This is not something that the average person can do. Looking back on those past events now, I really remember them vividly, and the people who heard these stories and Duan Yu also felt a little afraid. In those days, Duan Yu had many times as if he was dying.
As for the places where those stories took place, Duan Yu casually changed some place names, which made these people unable to figure it out. Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid and say that he was from the land of Kyushu.
Second, Ouyang Invincible's past is also quite interesting. He was originally a son of a famous family in Aoki City, and his father was the leader of the top ten blood alliances.
However, Ouyang is invincible and cynical, and he doesn't practice martial arts well, and he always plays all day long. His father always reprimanded him for this. Ouyang Wushu found a reason and said: "The martial arts practiced by you people are too boring, and you may not be able to reach the virtual realm, and I can't see any further hope." It is impossible to waste your life doing such meaningless things. ”
His father was helpless against him, but things soon took a turn for the better. When he was rude to an old man sweeping the floor, the old man actually beat him up.
At that time, Ouyang was invincible, although he didn't practice martial arts well. Due to the abundant cultivation resources in ordinary times, and the ears and eyes of famous families, Ouyang Invincible is also a first-class martial artist the day after tomorrow, but in front of this sweeping old man, he actually looked like a child without beating, and he was beaten miserably in a few moves.
"You are using the left-handed swordsmanship, where is the undercover agent, lurking in our family?" Ouyang Invincible scolded.
"Rare and strange, haven't you reacted yet, is the old man the legendary hermit master?" the old sweeper immediately asked.
Ouyang Invincible was indeed shocked by the handsome left-handed swordsmanship at that time, so he immediately apprenticed to the teacher, and since then he has quietly followed the old man to cultivate the "left-handed secret sword".
So much so that when he was twenty years old, he reached the innate realm, and then he came out to explore the rivers and lakes. After that, it was all very chic and casual, of course, he would sometimes steal the villagers' poultry to roast and eat. Heroes sometimes have a very ridiculous side, it is not so easy to walk the rivers and lakes, and it is even more difficult to maintain one's own heart.
In the end, when Sima Ruthless also talked about his past, they learned that this young man, who was only in his twenties, had actually done countless chivalrous and righteous deeds. is a real out-and-out hero, the so-called chivalrous man, for the country and the people.
People always feel that the so-called righteous heroes are too old-fashioned, but in fact, they are all misunderstandings and prejudices.
For example, the Sima ruthless that Duan Yu has seen now is a very interesting person and quite humorous, such a person is someone anyone wants to be friends with, and he is quite popular.
"Brother Sima, I'm curious, why have you been a loner all these years, that is, a lone ranger, why have you been able to maintain such a cheerful and humorous personality?" Duan Yu asked curiously.
"Although I am a lone ranger, every place I go to, I feel that people who are righteous and like-minded are good friends and drink together. But because my whereabouts are erratic, my brothers and friends are not around!" Sima said ruthlessly.
"Brother Sima, it's so strange that you got your name, why do you want to call you ruthless? I think you are a very good person, a person with a lot of feelings. Zhao Yanling asked curiously.
"Hehe, in fact, my name has nothing to do with whether I am personally affectionate or not. Back then, I changed my very ordinary name to Sima Ruthless, just to show that I will not show mercy to the wicked. Sima said ruthlessly.
Ouyang Invincible nodded and exclaimed: "I also agree with this statement, in the past, in the rivers and lakes, I heard some martial artists talk about it, saying that once the wicked people heard the name Sima Ruthless, they would be terrified, and this ruthless punishment method is very relevant." ”
Since there were no elegant people present, of course Duan Yu had no need to compose poems, otherwise wouldn't he play the piano to the cow?
When the wine was half-drunk, suddenly a blind girl holding a huqin came over and played a song, which was very desolate and sad. Some people in the inn, out of kindness, also rewarded her with some money.
Duan Yu also walked over and put a silver ingot in the big copper plate beside her.
"The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other. Duan Yu smiled leisurely and said, "Girl, although you play the huqin very well, it's too sad. A good rhythm should be sad but not sad, why don't you borrow the huqin from me for a while?"
Although this blind girl was always sad, she didn't mind lending the huqin to Duan Yu.
Then, Duan Yu sat on the railing and played the huqin, which he once knew about in addition to practicing the yaoqin.
Sometimes you don't have to be too proficient in the rhythm, as long as you can have fun, then it is enough.
Duan Yu still adheres to his principles, sad but not sad, and the sound of the huqin he plays is more and more charming.
Such a sound makes the heroes of the rivers and lakes who wander the world feel the sadness and farewell and the feeling of perennial wandering.
This night, they drank a lot of wine, and then fell asleep on the table, such an experience, it is estimated that the distinguished Zhao Yanling is the first time in her life.
The next morning, they woke up from their hangover and headed in the direction of Platinum City, and on the way, there were also the Sheepbone Desert and the Frost Mountain Road, both of which were bound to be ambushed by the elders of the Heaven-Breaking Alliance.
It can be said that Jin Lingfeng, the young master of Aoki City's Heaven Breaking Alliance, went to Platinum City this time, and he made a lot of money.
If there is any failure in this operation, it will definitely make the Sky Breaker Alliance break their bones, and it is obvious that this is not something they can afford.
Generally speaking, Jin Lingfeng's success rate this time is still very high, but he made a fatal mistake.
That is, he should never provoke Duan Yu, he actually dared to snatch Duan Yu's confidante, that is, Ouyang Qing'er, the leader of the Ancient Sword Blood Alliance, away from him, then Duan Yu would not spare him.
In the ancient town of Styx, although there are many warriors coming and going, they will not fight lightly with each other.
Because they all understand a truth, in such a place, in fact, there are a mixture of dragons and snakes, and it is likely that there are hermit masters, and they can't offend anyone here lightly.
The scope of the ancient town of Styx is very small, but many things are complete, there are actually demon beast mounts for sale here, everyone bought some unicorns, don't underestimate such a low-level demon beast, easy to tame, and the foot strength is good, can travel 1,500 miles a day.
Since they are in unforeseen danger at any time, it is impossible to keep their mounts completely, so there is no need to buy too expensive mounts, otherwise it will be a big waste.
These unicorns are not expensive and quite cost-effective.
Then, Duan Yu, Ouyang Invincible, and Sima Ruthless hurried with Zhao Yanling's escort team, and they all had the same destination, that is, Platinum City. Therefore, it is good to take care of each other when you walk together.
The name Styx does sound eerie, but there's nothing scary about it, except that it's completely dark for more than an hour late at night, and visibility is almost zero, which is quite a strange thing.
No one can answer why, and no one is going to be full enough to do to study the question.
When they rode the unicorn out of the ancient town of Styx, they finally saw the clear sky and the flowing clouds again.
Only when something has been lost for a period of time will people feel cherished, and Duan Yu and his friends are now happy with such an environment.
Duan Yu never did anything he wasn't sure about, so he now unfolded the large map, and then found the marked location of the Sheep Bone Desert from above.
The map is very brief about the Sheep Bone Desert: "The Sheep Bone Desert is a small desert full of death. Among them are powerful monsters and fierce indigenous tribes. Advise adventurers to stay away from it, and don't make mistakes. (To be continued......)
