According to the instructions on the map in his hand, Duan Yu estimated that it was not too far to reach the Sheep Bone Desert from his current location, and there were still more than a hundred miles to go.

For the unicorn mounts that everyone on their team had purchased, it was only an hour or so away.

"I have all closed our eyes and recuperated our minds, forgotten our previous troubles and impending dangers, and adjusted our whole body to the best possible state. Sima said ruthlessly.

Zhao Yanling and the nine silver-armored guards all nodded in agreement, in fact, they did think so.

However, Duan Yu frowned and said, "If it is in normal times, before experiencing other dangerous places, it is natural to make such preparations. But you didn't pay close attention to the fact that the next place we were going to was the Sheepbone Desert. What's most important in the desert?"

"Water, of course!" many people reacted.

"What Brother Duan means is that we should not only think about how to deal with the Heaven Breaking Alliance enemies who are ambushed there in the future, but also pay attention to preparing enough water?"

Duan Yu smiled lightly and nodded, his meaning had already been clearly expressed, if these people still didn't listen to the advice, he had to carry a few buckets of water by himself, just in case he needed it from time to time.

"This should be prepared, but I don't think you have to do it so early, just wait until you get to the Sheepbone Desert and find some water in the villages there. Zhao Yanling said.

For a person like her, who has been pampered since childhood, there will be a psychological habit of procrastination in everything she does.

At this time, all of Zhao Yanling's guards echoed one after another. They praised her for the wisdom of this decision.

Duan Yu was quite speechless, so he had to let them go.

On top of this stretch of the road. There is nothing dangerous, and there are some mountains around that are not very high. The rocks are dark red, the shrubs are thick, and from time to time black magpies fly.

Some small tribes, scattered along the edge of the mountains, are surrounded by bamboo huts, and mulberry and willow trees are planted in front of and behind the houses.

The smoke rises, illuminated by the glittering sun, like the ink dissolved by a pen in a pond, sometimes thick and sometimes light.

Others have actually begun to close their eyes and meditate. I entered the state of cultivation and really thought that strength and state were the key.

Duan Yu sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that even talented masters like Ouyang Invincible and Sima Ruthless didn't realize that the perception of the surrounding environment was also a very important aspect of cultivation.

Of course, Duan Yu didn't look down on them because of this, knowing that even if they didn't understand these truths, they might reach a virtual state in the future. After all, everyone's understanding of martial arts is different.

Inadvertently, there are many wheat fields on both sides of the path between the mountains, in the unique environment of the edge of the hillside. Wind and rain, good growth, green and lush.

You can also smell the refreshing fragrance in the wind. A few farmers were pulling weeds in the wheat fields and singing to each other. It's not nice to sing it, it's hard to understand. But it's a very comfortable ballad.

This kind of duet song generally has a fixed tune, and then according to the scene in front of you, touch the scene, come up with some sentences, and then sing it casually. And the people in the neighborhood generally know how to sing, so they sing along with the shouting. When singing and drinking, it seems so leisurely and free, turning the originally lonely and ordinary mountains and rivers into full of meaning.

Each place has its own unique customs, and people live in groups.

The lone rangers may never have calmed down to perceive this, and even when they occasionally pass by and hear it, they will scoff at it as too unpleasant.

"In this world, everything has a reason since it exists. We should not be hostile to what we don't like, but look at it objectively, and perhaps in the process, we can continue to enrich our own connotation. Duan Yu said in his heart.

He could only think about these words in his heart, and if he said them, no one around him would be able to understand them.

During this time of meditation and contemplation, Duan Yu figured out a truth: "These farmers who work in the wheat fields do not have any utilitarian intentions, and can focus on what they should do in front of them, so they can enjoy themselves. This is the same as our martial artists' pursuit of martial arts, if they are ambitious all day long, or have other goals, their minds are not focused, and it is impossible to find their original pleasure in martial arts. ”

Duan Yu is not willing to live such an indisputable and boring pastoral life, he is still very young, and this vast world is the stage for him to show himself.

In the midst of such a thought-rushing process of perception, an hour passed quickly.

In the air, there was a lot of dust and sand mixed with the wind, and everyone sighed: "We are about to arrive at the Sheep Bone Desert." ”

Zhao Yanling smiled and said: "I said that we should prepare enough water in the villages on the edge of the Sheep Bone Desert, so let's do it quickly." ”

Duan Yu spread his hands to express helplessness, and said with a wry smile: "You actually know the word hurry, I'm really convinced." ”

Zhao Yanling smiled, and then took Ouyang and Sima, as well as the guards, to the village. They actually hummed a ballad, Duan Yu felt that these people were really inexplicable, so they followed the back of the team very lazily.

"I really don't know what you're happy about?" Duan Yu finally couldn't help but ask.

"Because the indigenous villagers are generally very hospitable, they tend to bring the best things to their guests, and they will welcome them next time. Zhao Yanling smiled.

Sima and Ouyang also nodded approvingly, and Duan Yu was noncommittal.

Then they saw that the villagers had several large water tanks in front of the door, as well as many buckets with lids.

"Fellow, do you always have a lot of clean water ready for the adventurers who are about to go to the Sheepbone Desert to take away?" Zhao Yanling said with a polite smile as the unicorn stepped forward.

"Of course, I'm happy to be there for you adventurers. But we need to give some silver for all this water, and we need to buy something with silver, right?" said a simple-looking woman in front of her, her eyes shining with a strange light, and she smiled ugly.

Duan Yu immediately reacted, her eyes were like those of discovering a treasure.

"Auntie, you're right, even if you don't say it, I'll reward you with some silver taels. Ever since I was a child, my father taught me not to take other people's things for nothing. Here's ten taels of silver, don't thank me. Zhao Yanling said very generously, and threw a silver ingot over.

Judging from the experience of Zhao Yanling and the silver-armored guards, this seemingly ordinary and ignorant woman should be very happy to pick up the silver, and then thank her, or make up some silver for Zhao Yanling.

However, they are completely mistaken.

There were already a large number of villagers gathered around, about two hundred people, they were all ordinary people, but in the face of these martial arts masters in front of them, there was no fear.

"Little girl, do you think that our name is Hanako, and can we get away with such a small amount of money?" the woman glared angrily, as if she had been greatly humiliated.

"Do you want to ask for a few more ingots of silver? As long as you say it well, it is not impossible, I am a very generous person. Zhao Yanling said.

"Let's make it clear, each bucket of water will be sold for a hundred taels of silver, and if you have money, you should buy more, and every money you will buy less. ”

The woman crossed her hands on her hips and said horizontally: "If you are a master of martial arts, you plan to kill us all and seize this water, it is wishful thinking. Let's tell you the truth, all this water is used for signboarding, and it has already been poisoned inside, so even if you rob it, it will be useless. ”

Ouyang Wushu sneered: "Do you think we are stupid? There is a lot of water in the well in the village, but we just need to fight it with some effort ourselves." ”

"Hmph, you'd better not think about it, as soon as you kill us, the people in the backyard will hear the screams and immediately throw all the poison they have prepared into the well water. When the time comes, if you want to collect water, you will have to turn around and go back and find water fifty miles away. And the villagers there will also sell water like this. "Very brutal woman.

Duan Yu actually smiled and said, "You villagers are really hospitable! And they have already colluded, so you can really be polite to plunder the money of passing martial artists." In other words, if we want to save money, we have to go back a hundred miles and go to the ancient town of Styx to get water, right?"

His words were full of irony, and even if these villagers were very uneducated, they could understand it.

Now is not the time to be angry, they have experienced a lot of such scenes, so they are quite able to calm down, and the top priority is how to make Duan Yu and them compromise and pay.

The woman continued: "Yes, if you are not afraid of trouble and are willing to waste time, then do as well. We don't care, some worthless lives. But it seems that you martial arts masters attach great importance to time, and you still need to think about yourself, and don't waste precious time for some money that can be earned at any time. ”

Duan Yu felt a pang in his heart, glanced at this person deeply, and said in his heart: "What a powerful eloquence, and the most powerful thing is that his mentality is very strong, in the face of martial arts masters, he can still strongly express his own requirements, without the slightest intention of retreating." ”

"Bastard, you dare to talk to Young Master Yanling so arrogantly, you are tired of being crooked, I will send you to the Western Heavens!" one of the silver-armored guards flew over angrily with a scimitar.

Duan Yu then performed the crane control hand stunt in the air, and took the scimitar in the hand of the silver-armored guard in the air, and the unlucky silver-armored guard was also bombarded to the ground by the strong internal force and fell very wolfly.

"We haven't discussed it yet, what are you doing blindly, this guard?" Duan Yu reprimanded mercilessly.

For Zhao Yanling's arrogant guards, he has long been unaccustomed to it. (To be continued......)
