Chapter 421 Loulan Ancient Song
Duan Yu originally thought that there would be a fierce battle to be able to capture the giant scorpion mount, but he didn't expect the leader of the indigenous black-robed people to be so generous.
His eyesight was actually off, originally judging from the appearance and cold aura of the leader of the black-robed people, these natives should have a very eccentric temper, and they were difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect his prediction to be wrong.
As a result, Duan Yu got a lesson: in the future, he must be more and more calm and calm, and don't jump to conclusions lightly. Moreover, people should not be discorated, and sometimes these ugly-looking people often have a shining point in their hearts.
Since the leader of the indigenous black-robed people said that he wanted to send Duan Yu and their two giant scorpion mounts, he immediately asked his subordinates to bring them over, without any ambiguity and perfunctory.
Why two? When Duan Yu mentioned buying giant scorpions before, after careful consideration, he found that the broad backs of the two giant scorpions could completely allow the four most important people in their team to ride.
As for those silver-armored guards, they were really not in Duan Yu's consideration.
Ouyang Invincible was still shouting angrily just now, he had to fight to the death with the indigenous black-robed people, but now he was repaid by the other party with virtue, and he was stunned for a moment with such a good mount, the giant scorpion.
The anger that was full of anger also turned into doubts and shame, and Ouyang Wushu realized that sometimes it is not that he will be respected by others if he is strong in martial arts, but how to behave in the world.
"Hey, Ouyang's mind is still too simple, maybe it has something to do with his pampered living environment over the years. He now understands the principle of repaying virtue with grievances, but he doesn't know that in fact, how to act depends on the situation. Those who are insatiable are useless. Duan Yu said in his heart.
Now, of course, it is not appropriate to say that. Otherwise, wouldn't it make the indigenous black-robed people sad?
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for taking such a high opinion of us, and there are plenty of roast lamb and spirits here. Why don't you sit down and share it together?" Duan Yu smiled.
If others are so righteous to them, of course, he has to be friends enough, and the good between people can only last if they are mutual.
"Spirits and roast lamb are not to our liking, and those of us who live in the Lamb Bone Desert have our own unique habits. Take your leave, as long as you can heed my advice and get out of the Sheepbone Desert as much as you can, and don't go into the deeper secrets, then you will live up to my kindness. The leader of the indigenous black-robed people looked at the deep night sky in the distance and sighed faintly.
"Of course we have to get out of here as much as we can. The harsh environment of the Sheep Bone Desert really made us suffer enough. Zhao Yanling also said.
The night breeze is still blowing, containing the meaning of gloom and desolation.
The wind and sand are mixed with the period, just like the fine snowflakes contained in the wind, so the muscles and bones of the people.
Needless to say, if you enter this desert in the cold winter season, it is estimated that there will be snow at night, such a scene. Presumably, "Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom." ”
"I still have one more question, I wonder if this question will offend you?" Duan Yu asked with a smile.
"Just ask, even if it's scolding us. You may not be angry, let alone some minor problems. Our indigenous tribe has always been very calm!" The leader of the indigenous black-robed people laughed coldly.
Maybe he was a very enthusiastic person, but he was so cold when he laughed. It always gives people the illusion of a sneer.
Duan Yu then asked, "What is the origin of the ancient ballad you sang before, and why can't we understand it at all?"
"That's the ancient song of Loulan, which used to be a ballad of a magnificent ancient city in the Sheepbone Desert. Used for sacrifices. It's appropriate for our indigenous tribes to sing such songs, and you don't have to learn them. Otherwise, if you go outside and chant, the worldly people will think you're crazy. That's all I have to say, let's meet indefinitely. The native black-robed man said indifferently, and then rode the giant scorpion mount into the distance.
"Why do you regret it indefinitely?" Zhao Yanling asked puzzled.
The natives did not answer, they had gone far away, leaving behind only the dust and sand flying in the sky, so vast.
"His meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that we will never return to the Sheepbone Desert in the future. Duan Yu smiled lightly.
"Hmph, these people are really suspicious and strict, in such a place, even if anyone begs me to come in the future, I won't consider it. Zhao Yanling couldn't help but complain.
"Don't talk so much, maybe in the future, in this desert, something very important to you will appear, and you must pursue it, then it will definitely come again. Sima ruthlessly spread his hands and said helplessly.
Duan Yu nodded approvingly, it seemed that Sima Ruthless was indeed much more mature and rational than Ouyang Invincible.
"We don't really have to rest much tonight, we're not very tired, we can follow in the footsteps of those indigenous black-robed people and continue to hurry, maybe we can leave sooner." Duan Yu said.
The teammates all expressed their approval of this construction, and then everyone packed up their things as much as they could, and almost without discussion, Duan Yu and Zhao Yanling jumped onto the back of one of the huge scorpions.
And the two brothers, Ouyang Invincible and Sima Ruthless, had no choice but to ride another huge scorpion.
Both of them knew that Duan Yu was just a friend to Zhao Yanling, and the purpose of separating Zhao Yanling from them was to let Ouyang and Sima have the fairest competition, so they had no complaints.
As for the silver-armored guards, they had no choice but to ride unicorns.
Luckily, the huge scorpion was so large and powerful that it shared a lot of buckets for the unicorns, so that the silver-armored guards could ride them, otherwise they would have to trek on their feet and be miserable.
Perhaps because they had been hurrying at night, the people of the indigenous tribes had not maintained a fast pace, and now they had gradually slowed down.
When they found out that Duan Yu and the others were following behind, they had no objections.
The people of the indigenous tribe continued to chant the old and obscure ballad, which was quite unpleasant at first, and many of Duan Yu's team covered their ears with their hands and used their internal forces to resist.
Obviously, such songs have a great load on people's moods.
Duan Yu didn't do that, he wanted to understand what was unique about these songs, so he concentrated on calming down and carefully perceiving the rhythm.
Although he couldn't understand the meaning of any word in this ancient ballad, gradually, Duan Yu was able to understand the sadness contained in this ballad.
It was a state of mind in which mountains and rivers were broken and quite desperate. And there is also the nostalgia and helplessness for the passing of beautiful love, all of which are full of the weight and mystery of history, waiting for later people to use wisdom to trace along the long river of history.
And Duan Yu happened to be such a person, and he sensed this. As for the effect of perceiving the mystery in this ancient and obscure ballad, Duan Yu still didn't understand, and besides, he didn't think it mattered.
Duan Yu has never been utilitarian, he only does what he thinks is meaningful, and does not deliberately pursue any benefits.
If you really get something out of your efforts, it's all a surprise.
Inadvertently, the leader of the indigenous black-robed people suddenly glanced back, as if he had noticed something, but when he could glance at it, he became more and more puzzled, because he had found nothing.
Gradually, the clouds in the sky were no longer so thick, and many stars were once again scattered in the sky, shining brightly.
The stars in the sky are so deep with this mysterious sky, and the ground is an endless desert, and it seems so silent under the starry sky. Occasionally, a few roars of demon beasts came from a distant place, and it was even more lonely.
Being able to trek in such an environment is truly a rare and unique experience in life.
Although the trek can be painful, it is also unforgettable.
I had been on the road for three hours in a row, and when it was almost dawn, I saw a very strange scene in the place ahead.
But there was a sword on the ground, and a thin and decadent man was dozing off against it.
"It's probably very uncomfortable to sleep like this, and this person might as well sleep directly on the sand. Zhao Yanling said.
This is wrong, the seemingly emaciated and decadent man in front of him is actually a martial arts master. He came here alone, which shows that his strength is already good. And he doesn't have teammates, so he needs to be aware of the changes around him at all times. ”
Sima ruthlessly analyzed: "He leaned on the sword and fell asleep, and it is estimated that he is not completely asleep, once he senses that the danger is approaching, he can immediately draw the sword." ”
"It makes a lot of sense to hear you say that. If he was lying on the ground and sleeping, even if he reacted, he would not be able to draw his sword as quickly as possible to resist the attack of the demon beast. Zhao Yanling nodded.
"If other warriors travel here alone, it is estimated that they will not dare to sleep and rest because they are uneasy, then they will become more and more haggard, and it will be impossible to get out. Duan Yu commented.
While they were talking about this, the emaciated man had woken up, he held the hilt of the sword in his left hand, knelt on one knee, his eyes were shining with cold light, and said: "If you want to hurry, don't come to provoke me, otherwise my sword will not show mercy." ”
His words were too arrogant, he didn't even need to say hello, and directly said this to Duan Yu's team and the people of the indigenous tribe, which was equivalent to directly provoking everyone in front of him.
Duan Yu had long been surprised by such a young and vigorous person, so he didn't have any excited reaction, just smiled lightly.
Judging from the general situation, it is not a big deal for a young martial artist to rely on his martial arts talent and stunts, and it is not a big deal to be arrogant, and it has a certain role in promoting his own development.
But you can't be too arrogant, otherwise you will become the public enemy of martial arts people.
Zhao Yanling was a little angry, and said, "Why does this person talk like this, does he look at no one well?"
Ouyang Invincible was going to make a move, but remembering what happened before, he still held back. (To be continued......)
