In the past few days, there have been several strong winds near the dunes, blowing a lot of sand and soil, and also blowing away a lot of sand. Li Zhaoyuan has been buried in the sand by the dunes. He remained motionless and unaffected. Because it is not a large sandstorm that covers the sky and the sun, it is not buried very deeply.

Ten days passed, and suddenly Li Zhaoyuan faintly heard the jingle bell, the jingle bell. His instinct told him that someone was going to pass through here, and he woke up from an epiphany.

The help given to him by this epiphany can be said to be very huge, not only increasing his cultivation, but also determining his path of cultivating immortals in the future and comprehending his own way. In the ten days of this epiphany, he had condensed about one hundred and fifty Yin and Yang crystals, and his cultivation had already entered the acupoint passage stage in one fell swoop. These yin and yang crystals are neatly arranged into a small Taiji diagram in the sea of dantian qi.

After he stopped doing Tai Chi, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also withdrew from his consciousness. Li Zhaoyuan's breakthrough of the two elves this time can be said to be a great contribution. The two of them ran to Li Zhaoyuan's feet just now, rubbing around, and begging for a reward. Li Zhaoyuan smiled and rewarded each of them with a golden-veined fruit and four vermilion fruits. Xiao Hei Xiaobai's little belly can really pretend, and he swallowed it in a few bites, and then went back to sleep in the gossip map.

Li Zhaoyuan's divine sense launched the sea of dantian, and as soon as he stood up, he drilled out of the sand pile, but fortunately, the sand was not buried deep, only as high as the navel. At this time, Li Zhaoyuan was covered with sand, barefoot, and wearing animal skins. It can be said that his hair is messy, his face is gray, his clothes are not covered, and he is very embarrassed, like a sharp brother. However, he has undergone the transformation of the Lock Dzi and the Colorful Divine Tree, and now he has grown ten centimeters taller, his body is stronger than before, and he is also a handsome guy when he dresses up.

Li Zhaoyuan didn't have time to tidy up his appearance, so it was important to find someone to take him out of the desert. After shaking the sand and wiping his face, he ran to the top of the sand dunes to see where the people were.

Looking at the bell, there was a large group of people. There were about two hundred people, forty or fifty people riding horses with two horns (two-horned Great Xia horses, a specialty of Great Xia), and the others drove more than a hundred monsters carrying a large number of goods in his direction slowly. (The monster is a specialty of Shazhou in the Xuanwu world, called the sand pack beast, a herbivorous animal, about two meters and a half high, about five meters long, rough skin and thick meat, the body can store a lot of water and fat, the desert boat of the Xuanwu world.) Not much else. Although Li Zhaoyuan was still more than a mile away from them, he could see it clearly. Although he is not clairvoyant now, it is as if he has a telescope. Some of the goods have flags planted on them, and the word "iron" is written on the flags, and some are written with the word "dart".

Judging by the outfit of this group of people, which is a bit like ancient Chinese costumes, it should be a caravan. The man on horseback should be a merchant and bodyguard, and the one who leads the monster is a subordinate or a part-time worker.

The caravan was getting closer and closer, and soon three people from the other side took the lead out of the team, riding towards Li Zhaoyuan on horseback, rolling up thousands of piles of sand and dust. Among the three people, all of them had waist knives pinned to their waists, and they were obviously the bodyguards of the caravan. A big man in an ochre-colored suit with a black face and beard took the lead and rushed in front of Li Zhaoyuan.

"Li-" The black-faced bearded man stopped his horse, pointed at Li Zhaoyuan with his horsewhip, and asked, "Boy, what are you doing? Why are you here?"

"Ah, yes, what am I doing?" Li Zhaoyuan hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, and he was stupid for a while.

The black-faced bearded man listened to Li Zhaoyuan's stupidity, thinking that Li Zhaoyuan was teasing him, and saw that Li Zhaoyuan was dressed like a wild man (if he is not a wild man, he also asks for food). So he was furious and waved his whip at Li Zhaoyuan. "Poof", Li Zhaoyuan used the word "catharsis" in Taijiquan to destroy all his strength. The black-faced bearded man seemed to be hit on cotton, and he felt strange in his heart.

At this time, two people arrived behind, one silver-gray and the other earthy yellow.

A big man in a silver-gray suit, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and thick lips, a square face, a red copper complexion, and a three-filter beard on his mouth, with a sense of righteousness. The yellow outfit is a young man, with a white face and beard, and his appearance is ordinary and featureless.

The silver-gray man in the big suit shouted: "Stop! Tiehu, don't be rude." There was anger in his tone, and he sounded like the leader of the three.

"Big brother, I didn't hit him, I just scared and scared him. Tiehu hurriedly explained.

"Big brother, second brother just scared and scared people, and didn't hurt anyone. Don't blame the second brother. The young man in the yellow suit pleaded for Tiehu.

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you when I go back. The silver-gray man in the big suit dismounted and hugged his fists at Li Zhaoyuan and said, "This little brother, are you okay? I am here to apologize to you for the recklessness of my second brother Tiehu. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't hit, didn't hit. Li Zhaoyuan got off the donkey. At first glance, the iron dragon is an experienced old Jianghu, and his vision is unique, and he can see Li Zhaoyuan's extraordinaryness at a glance. Do you think, can a person who has nothing and can survive in this barren desert be an ordinary person?

"It's okay, it's okay. Tielong asked apologetically, "I don't know little brother, why are you alone in this desert?"

Li Zhaoyuan originally wanted to say that Li Zhaoyuan was ....... But he thought about the costume films he had watched before, and changed his words: "Xiaosheng Li Zhaoyuan, I don't know how I got to this desert." I am a scholar in China. On my way to the capital to catch the exam, I was suddenly swept up in the sky by a strange wind, and then fell into a coma. When I awoke......" he shook the hides, and continued, "You see, when I woke up I was in the middle of these two deserts, and my clothes were changed into these foul-smelling skins. What a disaster from heaven!" After speaking, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he wanted to cry and stopped.

"Fortunately, Xiaosheng's luck is not too bad, and he just woke up and met you. Li Zhaoyuan added: "Otherwise, I would have to wait for death." Please also ask all brothers to save each other, and there will be a reward after the little birthday. ”

Tiehu asked in surprise, "Could it be that the demonic wind's 'gust of wind' is also doing something wrong with you?"

"You also have a demon wind here?" Li Zhaoyuan is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse this time.

"yes. The demon wind kept blowing, rolling, and whirring. Everywhere I went, people and animals and houses were involved, some people and animals fell out and fell to their deaths, and some people did disappear without knowing their life and death. Tielong explained.

Li Zhaoyuan smiled secretly in his heart: "What kind of demon wind, isn't this a tornado? Hehe, it's terrible to have no knowledge." Of course he couldn't say that. He nodded and said, "Well, Xiaosheng was blown here by that strange wind. I don't know what kind of place this is? How far is it from China? ”

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be a scholar, no wonder you speak in a sloppy manner. Tiehu interjected: "This desert is the Sammagbigan Desert, in the territory of Shazhou. We don't know what Shenzhou is, it seems that we haven't heard of it. Right, big brother?" Hearing that Li Zhaoyuan was a scholar, his tone was much better.

"Yes, the three of us brothers have been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and our footprints have reached five states such as Qin, Liang, Yan, Chu, and Sha, and I have heard that there are twelve states in the world, but we have never heard of Shenzhou. Tielong wondered: "Is there still a thirteenth state in the world?"

"Big brother, it's hard to say, it's normal that you and I are mortals and don't know. The young man in the yellow suit said.

"Yes, Xiaosheng has never been out of Shenzhou, and he has never heard that there are twelve states in the world. Li Zhaoyuan pretended to be angry and said: "Xiaosheng's book said that 'under the whole world, it is not the king's land', and now it seems that what is said in the book is also a big fallacy. ”

They chatted for a while, and the team behind them also caught up. A fat-headed, big-eared and brocade man in the team asked Tie Long, "Tie Darthead, what's going on? It's not a spy of the sand bandits, right?"

So Tielong went over and chatted with the big fat man and didn't know what to say, and then the big fat man nodded, and said things like being vigilant and paying attention to safety, before leaving.

In this way, Li Zhaoyuan became a member of this team.

Tie Long told him some reassuring and comforting words, and then left and went to inspect the team. The black-faced Iron Tiger and his younger brother seem to be very interested in Li Zhaoyuan, and they have been following Li Zhaoyuan to ask questions and ask questions, and the whole one hundred thousand whys.

Li Zhaoyuan also took the opportunity to ask about some situations in this world. Originally, Shazhou was the inland of the Xuanwu world, and adjacent to Shazhou were Qinzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Chuzhou, and Shazhou had three powerful empires, the Fresh Fish Kingdom, the Northern Yuan Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom. Every country has a number of weak and small subjects.

Shazhou has a vast area, with deserts running through it, and is rich in products, but each country has different products and a large population, a total of about 2 billion, and different material needs. Therefore, it is necessary for businessmen to communicate with each other. The flow of goods is mostly a matter of passing through this endless Sammagbigan Desert.

These three kingdoms are separated by lofty mountains and mountains, and there are many monsters in the mountains, but this Sammag is safer and easier to navigate than the dry desert. Therefore, merchants generally mostly go to the desert.

In addition to private small caravans, the state also has some large caravans. Large caravans are generally more than 1,000 people, or even more than 10,000 people.

Because of the promotion of commerce, the three major powers were also extremely prosperous, although they occasionally had friction and some minor wars. But the Three Empires also knew the importance of commerce, and were protective and honorable for merchants. As a result, there are more and more businessmen.

But the prosperity of trade routes also produced the dark side of society, that of robbers in the desert. Some of these sand bandits are ordinary people who can't survive, there are also underworld bandits with high martial arts, there are also some local heroes, and even some official and military scum. Some of the sand bandits robbed by dozens, some by hundreds, and even more powerful bandits numbered in the thousands.

Due to the influence of banditry, the government also dispatched troops to encircle and suppress it. However, the sand bandits are in the desert of Sagema Bigan, and they are familiar with the way, and they come and go without a trace. When the army comes in, if you don't get lost, you will be wiped out. Therefore, the more bandits are suppressed, the more bandits there are.

As a result, a large number of darts are generated. The three brothers of the Iron Dragon, the Iron Tiger and the Iron Leopard in the yellow power suit opened a dart game - the Three Male Dart Game. The three brothers are known as the three heroes of the Tie family. The three brothers are strong in martial arts, especially the eldest brother Tielong has already practiced the true qi, and has achieved the release of the true qi, which can hurt people in the air, and has the power to fight with the monk's condensation period, and can be regarded as the top master among mortals.
