Twenty-two The bright moon in the desert west city

Fly said: "I am also friends with the goshawk brothers, when the two of us fought side by side, against a strong enemy, he gave me this sword on a whim, and told me about the hidden sword mound. ”

Li Shuxiu became worried and asked: "But this Ghost Falling Sword is evil by nature, often charming and sorrowful, why can Brother Feiyun control it freely?"

Fly sighed: "I have been running all my life, trying to survive between life and death, there is more suffering and less happiness, although this sword is different, it is harmless to me. ”

Li Shuxiu said happily: "Since this eldest brother is holding a ghost fall and is not harmed by it, he should be a person who is destined, why don't you go back to Babylon with me." She saw that this Feiyun and Red Fly were chivalrous people, and they were holding the sword of Zangjian Mound, so she wanted to lead these two people to enter and revitalize the prestige of the Tibetan Sword Shrine.

Fly nodded and said: "I have admired the Dugu Sword Demon for a long time, and I can't ask for it." Could it be that the famous mound of hidden swords is far away in Babylon?"

Li Shuxiu looked bitter and said: "Master, his old man has been victimized, and it is difficult to return to the hidden sword mound, and now the new master and the rest of the fellow disciples are temporarily living in Babylon. ”

Fly Qi said: "I have heard that Dugu Daxia's swordsmanship is superb, unparalleled in the world, but I was jealous of heaven and suffered misfortune." Do you know who did it, and did you take revenge?"

Li Shuxiu shook his head and said: "On that day, all of us who hid the Sword Shrine suddenly felt sad in our hearts, and had a nightmare, in which we saw the master die tragically under the rain of swords, but I don't know who the enemy is. Soon the hidden sword mound shook and collapsed, and everyone escaped, and then the boulder fell, blocking the way home. Everyone remembered that the master had said: This hidden sword mound is connected to his life. If the hole collapses, it will be when he dies, and after a long time of not hearing from him, it is assumed that he is dead. ”

Fly said: "It's really unfair, so much so that this great master who shook the past and the present died. But the admiration for the hidden sword mound remains unchanged, and if the girl has difficulties, she will be sent next. ”

Li Shuxiu hurriedly thanked her, she saw the red fly martial arts, although she is far less than the rest of the same door at the moment, but if time goes in the future, she will be able to shoulder a heavy responsibility, since this "Feiyun" is good friends with the goshawk, the kung fu is also extraordinary, Li Shuxiu killed the traitor on this trip, rescued the weak female orphan, and got two powerful fellow disciples, and the heart is very happy.

So everyone recuperated in the courtyard and recuperated their injuries. Li Shuxiu and Zhang Qianfeng were seriously injured and could not recover within a day, but the two of them had miraculous skills, and when they waited until daylight, although their skills had not recovered, they had acted as usual and could walk, but Zhao Huo and Jieze were afraid of the sun, drowsy, and could not go out, so they could only hide in the cave and wait until it was dark.

Suddenly, I saw an explosion in the distance, and a flash of fire flew straight into the sky, Zhang Qianfeng said "ah" and said, "Senior sister, it's Master Kunpeng, has he and his old man come to look for us?"

Jieze hummed in a daze, and fell asleep with his face sideways. Zhang Qianfeng remembered his master's temperament, worried about what happened to Jieze, and couldn't help but feel sad, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, walked outside the cave, took out a cannonball, lit it into the air, and suddenly the light was shining and the sound was thunderous.

Not long after, a handsome middle-aged scribe rushed over, and his body was faster than Zhang Qianfeng. The scribe came closer, looked at everyone, and felt a little strange, but he was arrogant and didn't want to pay attention to it, and asked: "Qianfeng, you are really here, you two have been here for a year, have you ever found a trace of a true immortal?"

Zhang Qianfeng knelt on the ground and said in a mournful voice: "Master, we have met a strong enemy here, junior sister, she fell into a trick and suffered from a serious illness, and now she has become like this. ”

The scribe's name is Kunpeng, it is Zhang Qianfeng, Jieze's teacher, and he is also a well-known figure in the Wanxian Sect, he was shocked when he heard this, and immediately calmed down, his fingers caught Jieze's pulse, probed slightly, looked confused, and asked: "Why is she still alive without heartbeat and breathing? What happened to the two of you?" and squinted at Feifei, Li Shuxiu and others, and said, "What is the origin of these mortals?"

Zhang Qianfeng did not hide it, and told all about the experience here, Kunpeng listened quietly, did not say a word, and only after listening to Zhang Qianfeng's description did he say: "We monks in the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, after practicing the immortal method, we must always go through calamities in order to reach a higher level. But the circumstances of this catastrophe are so elusive that they are elusive. Now that Ze'er is like this, I'm afraid that it will be a catastrophe for her, and we don't have to complain, but take good care of it, don't let her be discouraged. ”

Zhang Qianfeng didn't expect the master to be so open-minded, and he revealed the matter with a light sentence, and was overjoyed, and said, "Master Xie for your guidance." ”

Kunpeng said: "What happened to the two of you is very strange, you have killed countless demons for your life and death, and you have never encountered such a monster. In this way, the two of you can be regarded as having undergone experience and accumulated merits, and if the door is opened again today, we will leave this world and return to our hometown, otherwise we will miss the opportunity and have to wait another year. ”

Zhang Qianfeng nodded and said, "Yes, Master." He said goodbye to Fly, Li Shuxiu, Red Fly, and Zhao Huo, and said: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, and I am deeply favored by you in the next, I dare not dare or forget in this life, if there is a chance in the future, I will come to this world again to repay the kindness." ”

Red Fly and Li Shuxiu lived and died with him, and they were all a little reluctant, and they all said: "Zhang Gongzi and Miss Jieze take care, we will have a date later." ”

The fly said: "Zhang Gongzi, do you remember what I said to you before?"

Zhang Qianfeng was stunned for a moment, remembering that this person once said: "If one day, the dearest and close lovers around you turn against you one by one and regard you as enemies, what should you do? Or are you delirious, act upside down, and kill all your relatives and friends, and sober up afterwards, what will happen to you?" He was furious at the time, brushed his sleeves away, and he didn't expect that it was now sealed on Jieze. When he thought of this, he compared it to his state of mind at the moment, and he was silent for a while.

The fly said: "I have heard: 'For the immortals, they despise the law of heaven and earth, so they are not benevolent, and regard all things as dogs.'" It is a ruthless determination from the inside out, from the soul to the heart, and if this immortal is reborn with mortal feelings, he will go mad and mad, and act wickedly, which will bring disaster for a thousand years. You are in the Ten Thousand Immortals Gate, and you are seeking the way to become an immortal, and you need to understand the difficulties. That's all I say, I won't be verbose, and I hope you will be more considerate in your actions in the future. ”

Kunpeng glanced at the flies and said, "This brother Tai's tone is so crazy, and it is not your turn to talk nonsense and point fingers at the affairs of my Wanxianmen." His contempt for mortals was even more obvious, as if talking to them had already disturbed his own cultivation, but seeing that he was speechless by this person, he couldn't help but refute it.

The fly nodded at Zhang Qianfeng and remained silent. Zhang Qianfeng couldn't realize the deep meaning of the fly for a while, bowed to him and said goodbye, covered Jieze's head and face with his robe, hugged his chest, and went away with the Kunpeng.

Li Shuxiu smiled bitterly: "His master's kung fu is naturally high, but his temper is even more powerful, I have never seen such an arrogant person, is he really a heavenly immortal?"

Red Fly said: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, the more such a high and low character, the more he looks down on his subordinates. If he really became an immortal, he wouldn't have to deal with us mortals. This Kunpeng 'Great Immortal' is naturally extremely capable, but compared to the real hidden immortals in the world, it is far inferior. ”

Li Shuxiu didn't know that he was actually secretly slapping flies and sycophants, and said: "What my nephew said is good. My Dugu master is also a master in the world, but he is kind and kind to us disciples. ”

After dark, the red fly let Zhao Huo sit on his shoulder, and the four of them set off, killing the "Kuijing" who blocked the road on the way, and came to the outside of the city, Li Shuxiu let out a long howl, which spread far away in the desert, and soon after, a big camel with golden hair galloped to it, which was faster than the good horse and horse. Li Shuxiu said: "I am often ordered to go out and walk through the desert, so I rely on this camel. It's called 'Golden Dragon', and it was bred by the master, and I don't know how old it is. Able to travel thousands of miles a day without eating or drinking, and familiar with the terrain, you will never get lost. ”

The red fly was in awe, and said respectfully: "This golden dragon predecessor has the same physique as an elephant, and it is indeed a divine object in the world, which is extraordinary. ”

Li Shuxiu remembered something, and frowned again: "But there is a difficulty, the golden dragon has a strange temper, and it only carries an unmarried woman like me, and the rest of the people sit on it, so they have to be thrown off their backs." How's that going to be?"

The red fly was shocked, his eyes were disdainful, and he secretly thought: "This golden dragon is really good, in this way, that Dugu Sword Demon is probably not a good thing." ”

While he was thinking wildly, he was in his belly, and the fly said, "It is all right, I went out of the city before, and caught a few camels, and I can ride them." After saying that, he shouted, and soon three tall camels came running from a distance, each of them was smaller than the 'golden dragon', but they also looked like a miracle horse, Li Shuxiu said happily: "Fortunately, Brother Feiyun is prepared, you can follow me." ”

Everyone rode on camels, followed the golden dragon, and hurried at night, Zhao Huo sucked the blood of flies, his stomach was swollen, and he was full of energy, and he was no longer hungry for a while. In this way, through the desert canyon and the riverbed, the way is deserted, full of scorching sun, wind, sandstorms and earthquakes, after countless dangers, finally arrived in the Western Regions, and encountered people again.

After traveling for several months, they arrived at a rich and bustling city, called Mulu City, which was the center of Persian trade, and there were Chinese silks, treasures from the Western Regions, water dragons on the sea, and strange beasts in the mountains. There are high cathedrals, lively bazaars, luxurious residences, thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, even if the night is low, the city is still as bright as a jewel, and it will never stop for a long time.

Li Shuxiu was startled when she saw the red fly, and she was surprised everywhere, she had long been accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "It won't be long before you can arrive in Babylon." Compared with this city, Babylon is even more magnificent and solemn, with towers that reach to the sky and vast lakes, and is the largest city in the Western Regions. ”

"Why are there so many merchants here?"

Li Shuxiu said: "From China to the Western Regions, there are three or four trade routes, which the Persians call 'silk trade routes', which were used to transport silk from the Central Plains in ancient times. We are taking the north road, and the rest are the middle road, the lower road, and the south road. It's just that this north road is the most dangerous, and now there are ghost towns blocking the road, so I'm afraid that it will be difficult to pass in the future. (To be continued.) )
