Chapter Seventy-Two: Qingyuan Ancient Town

Yu Qingwu and his party of ten people went east, and at first they could still see many Kunlun disciples, but as they got farther and farther away from Kunlun Mountain, it seemed that there were only ten of them left in the vast world.

"Where the hell this bird doesn't shit!"

Stepping on the flying sword, Jin Buchou, who was swaying and flying, held the bronze floating disc in one hand and cursed at the same time. The floating disc is a strange treasure, but it is the size of the palm, but it contains a huge amount of information, basically all the mountains and rivers on the land are included in it, not only that, but the monk can also cast a spell to link multiple floating discs, so that the location of two different floating discs can be presented on top of each other, which is really a must-have for home travel!

At this time, Jin Buchou's floating disc showed that this place was a barren land east of the Kunlun Mountains, and there were people within a radius of hundreds of miles, not to mention that it was difficult to see a bird! Fortunately, they had all reached the Jindan stage and had the body of Bigu, otherwise they would have to starve to death and die of thirst if they did not suffocate to death.

Hearing Jin Buchou's complaint, Zi Xu, who also held the floating disc, raised his hand to the floating disc, and the bronze disc body immediately lit up with a faint light, and a hazy realm appeared on it, like a microcosm of a region, and there were many points of light in the miniature.

Those points of light are not where the rest of the disciples are.

Zixu raised his eyes and looked at the microcosm of the region, then waved his hand and withdrew, and said to Jin Buchou, who was unhappy: "Brother Jin, this is still just out of the Kunlun Mountains, you can't stand it anymore? Don't worry, there is a small town on the edge of the desert more than two hundred miles ahead, and we can rest there for a while when the time comes!"

Kunlun is located in the extreme west, separated from the fertile land of Kyushu by a vast desert, after which you can truly set foot in the world.

"Cut!" Jin Buchou disdained Zixu's kind reminder, and sneered: "Do you have a floating disc? Lao Tzu won't read it by himself?" After speaking, he also nodded at the floating disc, and found the town in Zixu's mouth in the regional miniature.

"Qingyuan Town?"

Jin Buchou, who learned the name of the town from the floating disc, smacked his lips and said: "What kind of bad name is this, it is obviously a small town on the edge of the desert, and what is it called Qingyuan Town, at first glance, you can see that the person who named this town is an uneducated person!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The four people in the group with Jin Buchou said yes again and again, and they also thought that the name of this town was too substandard. Not only them, but even Yu Qingwu's group of three people except Yu Qingwu and Zixu also have this idea. The word Qingyuan, as soon as you hear it, you will know that Lu Dao is the kind of vibrant place, but the edge of the desert is desolate and barren, how can it be associated with these two words!

Hundreds of miles away from Kunlun, Yu Qingwu gradually forgot the troubles in his heart, at this time hearing Jin Buchou's words, he shook his head and smiled, while controlling the mountain axe under his feet to fly slowly, he looked back at Jin Buchou behind him and said: "I think you are uneducated!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Jin Buchou replied with an unhappy face: "I'm full of classics, and I have countless scriptures in my chest, so I can't have anything to do with no culture, right?"

Yu Qingwu smiled and asked, "Then tell me how the Yellow Emperor defeated the two generals of Fengbo and Yushi under Chi You in ancient times?"

"I know this!"

Jin Buchou held his head high and said eloquently: "During the period of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, Xuanyuan and Chi You shared the position of emperor, and the two people under Chi You Feng Bo and Yu Shi were profound, and before the war, they vomited wind and rain, and defeated Xuanyuan's troops, even if Xuanyuan's first general, Ying Long, was not defeated by Feng Bo and Yu Shi. At this moment, a girl fell from the sky and cast a spell to drive the rain and the wind......"

Speaking of this, Jin Buchou suddenly stopped, and the confidence on his original face disappeared without a trace in an instant, but was replaced by a sneer, and said, "That...... The vast desert between the mundane world and the Kunlun Mountains couldn't have been formed because of the female squire, right?"

Yu Qingwu nodded with a smile and said: "Nulu is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, known as the god of drought, with the ability to drive the rain and the wind. After helping his father defeat Fengbo and Yushi, in order not to cause drought in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Nulu went to the west and lived not far from Kunlun Mountain for a long time until he ascended to heaven and became a god. ”

"Before the female Lu came to the west, although the Central Plains and Kunlun Mountain were barren, they were far from being uninhabited, especially near the ancient town of Qingyuan, which was no worse than the rich land of the Central Plains. However, after the arrival of the women, the drought here became a disaster for a long time, which made the already barren place even worse, and over time, the vast land was desertified due to the lack of rain all year round, until it has become a desert now. ”

"I see!"

When a few people heard Yu Qingwu's explanation, they understood why Kunlun was verdant and verdant, but the nearby land was barren.

Jin Buchou pursed his mouth, he knew this history, but he didn't react for a while, until he mentioned the female rudden, he realized the root cause of the desolate West now, thinking of this, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "Okay, I take back what I just said, but I want to see what the ancient town that was once called 'Qingyuan' has become now." As the words fell, he sped up and flew forward.

Seeing that Jin Buxian was speeding up, the rest of the people also sped up and rushed towards Qingyuan Ancient Town.

This place is more than 200 miles away from Qingyuan Ancient Town, with the foot strength of Yu Qingwu, it will take half a day's work to say the least, this has to be all the way non-stop, otherwise it may not be possible to catch up with Qingyuan Town before dark. Originally, with Yu Qingwu's skills, if he hurried through the Divine Movement Technique that he had cultivated for many years, he could reach it in an hour at most, but he still had to take care of the rest of the people, so he had to fly with an axe, 'slowly'.

When the sky was dark, except for Yu Qingwu and Jin Buchou, the rest of the ten people were too tired, but fortunately, they were close to Qingyuan Town at this time, and they could even see the golden sand in front of them, coupled with the afterglow of the setting sun, which made the endless desert seem to have become a low mountain made of gold sand.

"Qingyuan Town is there!"

At this time, the only female in the team, Zhenzhen, pointed to the southeast direction and exclaimed, and everyone immediately looked sideways, and saw several stone houses scattered in the forest more than ten miles away, and occasionally a few poplars stood alone, telling the world that there had been a period of glory.

When the already exhausted people saw Qingyuan Town, their expressions were immediately shocked, and a force surged up in their empty bodies again, and they swooped towards the ancient town, which was more suitable than a town.

For more than ten miles, everyone was stunned that it took half an hour to fly, which was not much faster than walking. When they landed in front of Qingyuan Ancient Town, the sky had completely darkened, and the people inside the earthen walls also lit torches, and the firelight illuminated the place into a bright light.

"Clear ...... Source...... Town ......"

Tianmingzi, who was close to the height of his body, looked up at the dilapidated 'city gate' and read out the three characters on the top. I have to say that this place is really dilapidated, the city gate is a three-zhang high wooden frame, the city wall is piled up with earth and stone into three feet high, more than 100 stone houses in the inside, the whole town except for the city gate on both sides of the three drought-resistant poplar trees, and the poplar around the small weeds, it is difficult to see green.

"For thousands of years, the vicissitudes of life ......"

Seeing that this prosperous ancient town has become what it is now, Yu Qingwu sighed that the years are ruthless and the way of heaven is not right. It's just that he can't say that the female lu did wrong, if the female lu had been in the hinterland of the Central Plains, then there would have been more victims, in other words, the people here have suffered on behalf of the world!

Whining......

The hot and dry wind blew, and the dust mixed with fine sand flew, and everyone immediately covered their noses to prevent the wind and sand from entering their noses.

"What a sin!" At this time, Jin Buchou could not have a playful heart, and he was more than sighing for the harsh environment here.

At this time, dozens of people walked out of the city wall, including men, women, old and young, each carrying pots and pans towards the outside of the town. When they found Yu Qingwu and a group of strangers standing in front of the town gate, they were all stunned, as if they didn't understand how anyone could come to this barren land.

A sixty-year-old man with a cane and animal skin walked out of the crowd, glanced at Yu Qingwu and the others up and down, and then bowed slightly, and said, "The distant guest is coming, the old man is polite!"

"Old gentleman, please get up!"

Zilu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, the people in this Qingyuan town are as thin as skin and bones, and their clothes are also torn linen clothes or animal skins, and the discerning people know at a glance that they live a hard life, the old man is sixty years old, and he is really afraid that the old man will fall to the ground as soon as he bends over.

"Yes, old man, it is said that we young people should salute you, how can we still receive your great gift!" said Zhenzhen quickly, stepping forward to support the old man with a cane.

Jin Buchou glanced at these villagers holding pots and pans, and said with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing here, why are you holding pots and pans?"

"It's supposed to be a reservoir of water. ”

Before the villagers could answer, Yu Qingwu spoke first. He pointed to a few aspen trees on both sides of the city gate, and said to the many surprised villagers, "But you want to place pots and pans under the trees, and come back tomorrow morning to get water?"

As soon as Yu Qingwu's words fell, those simple villagers immediately nodded, and the withered yellow face of the old man who was supported by Zizi and Yongzhen showed a hint of admiration, and said: "Shaoxia is really smart, you can know the origin of family learning at a glance, in the past few years, you are the first person who has just set foot in our town and knew that we want to put a pot and store water under the tree!"

Hearing the old man's words, Yu Qingwu waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man has a good reputation. ”

The rest of the people were confused, and Jin Buchou just wanted to ask, but Yan Mingzi was faster than him, and asked Yu Qingwu: "Senior Brother Fuyao, how did you know that they want to put the pot under the tree to store water?" and ......" He pointed to the drought, and said with a face full of disbelief: "The drought here is serious, not to mention that it hasn't rained for a month, and if you put the pot overnight, there may not be dew to accumulate it!"

In an extremely arid place, even if there is no dew at night, it is impossible to have much, and if it is left overnight, there is no guarantee that the few drops of dew that have just accumulated will evaporate again, so he is very suspicious that people here can store water.
