Half Moon Pass (II)
The next test was none of Mo Qiuyan's business. After all, who would test a cat under the pretext of giving it a weapon for self-defense? She only needed to stay away from the fighting.
Over there, Huacheng, with an innocent air, destroyed Nanfeng's red mirror (Red Mirror: Listen to me and thank you), and the three of them were about to start a quarrel again. Xie Lian helplessly held his forehead, his eyes inadvertently glancing out the window.
A figure flashed by in the vast desert.
Xie Lian immediately sat up and looked out the window.
Three figures flashed by, one black and two white. One of them, a woman in white holding a whisk, even glanced back and smiled at Xie Lian and the others. After the three figures disappeared, a sudden gust of wind and sand rose from the flat ground, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
It's like it's haunted.
This is haunted isn't it? :D
Mo Qiuyan: The three ghost kings and five priests come to Banyueguan for team building!
What virtue and ability does a small half-moon gate have?jpg.
Mo Qiuyan had been standing by the window and had seen the whole process. At this moment, she suddenly understood.
Mo Qiuyan: Oh, so someone is waiting here!
She thought about it and quietly sent a psychic message.
Mo Qiuyan: [Okay, I thought you'd come over with Feng Xinmuqing, but I didn't expect you'd come with He Laohei and Qingxuan (cat shocked jpg.)]
Lan Yunqing: […He Laohei? And why are you able to send emojis :D]
Mo Qiuyan laughed. This was a name that Hua Cheng had accidentally called out some time ago.
Mo Qiuyan: […This is not important!]
Lan Yunqing: [We were originally going to stick to the original plan, but Qingxuan dragged Mingyi over... It's not bad to follow them. I don't have to listen to the arguments (and I can still eat candy)]
Lan Yunqing: [Since you're all here...see you at Banyueguan.]
Mo Qiuyan hung up the phone, and when he came to his senses, he found himself being carried by Nanfeng by the scruff of the neck, with Huacheng looking at him with a gloating look.
Mo Qiuyan: "..."
A good cat never suffers a loss in front of it, so she turned around and gave Shi Qingxuan another spiritual message.
Mo Qiuyan: [Hello, Master Feng, haha. If someone jumps out to fight you in Banyueguan City later, remember to fight hard.]
Shi Qingxuan:?
…
After a short rest, the group continued their journey.
Across the vast desert, a sudden gust of wind blew up, bringing with it a much stronger sandstorm than ever before. Sand pelted down on people, causing a dull ache in their exposed parts of the head, face, and arms.
Xie Lian frowned slightly, covering his face and spitting out the sand in his mouth, "This sandstorm is so strange!"
He looked back and saw that the other people were still following him, but because of the strong wind and sand, they could not communicate by voice.
Nanfeng Fuyao walked away with a murderous look on his face, but Sanlang remained calm and walked away calmly.
Seeing his frail frame, Xie Lian looked rather pitiful after being beaten in the strong wind and raging sand (Mo Qiuyan:???), so he stepped forward, fastened his collar, and raised the collar to prevent the wind and sand from blowing in.
This action startled Sanlang. He curled his lips and just as he opened his mouth to say something, his mouth was filled with sand.
Saburo: "..."
Xiu Mao tutted his nose, and the whistling wind and sand buried the sound, but Hua Cheng still keenly caught someone's mockery.
City Lord Hua silently added a certain bad Lao Liu to the blacklist.
Mo Qiuyan: You are also one of the six!
The siblings have been together for so long and their style is so unique!!!
At this time, Nanfeng and Fuyao also caught up, and the few of them briefly discussed the next plan. As expected, Fuyao and Sanlang started fighting again.
Xiu Mao followed the team closely all the way. She originally clung to Fu Yao to avoid the wind, but as the sarcastic atmosphere on both sides became more and more intense, Fu Yao took her anger out on Xiu Mao, reached out and pulled her down and threw her to the ground.
Repairing cat: :-D
Are you taking your anger out on me?
Xie Lian hurriedly raised his hand and said, “Stop it! We can talk later if you have anything to say. If the wind is really strong, it can be terrifying.”
Fuyao asked, "Can you even blow people up into the sky?"
Xie Lian said, “Well, what you said is very possible…”
The next second, Xie Lian turned into a blurry white shadow and disappeared.
“…”
Xiu Mao: This... is indeed Your Highness's luck!
Before the stunned period of several people passed, Sanlang was pulled by the flying white silk and turned into a red shadow and flew into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the (invisible) sun!
At this time, the City Lord Hua was wearing a striking red dress, becoming a striking figure in the vast Gobi Desert!
Mo Qiuyan silently memorized this scene, feeling that Yunfan Valley had one more piece of ghost animal video material.
The materials for the ghost videos over the past few hundred years are provided thanks to the generous sponsorship of Huahua and my father!
They are all good people who contribute to the economic income of Yunfan Valley!
Old Father & Huacheng: This blessing is given to you, do you want it? :D
…
Xiu Mao, who was constructing a video template in her mind, suddenly froze, as if remembering something. She turned around and tried to grab Nan Fu's battery. However, she was a step too late. Before she could grab them, a white shadow quickly pulled them up into the sky.
Xiu Mao:!
However, after waiting for a long time, Bai Ling did not pull her.
Mo Qiuyan: ...Isn't it possible that I've been forgotten? :-D
Mo Qiuyan had dead eyes and gave Hua Cheng a psychic call.
However, Huacheng didn't want to waste his brother's time coming back to find her, so he sent her his location and asked her to come to the cave where they were taking shelter.
Mo Qiuyan: :D
There is no love in this world!
That’s too much! That’s too much!
Mo Qiuyan suddenly agreed with a certain green young man.
Dog Flower City is truly worthy of its name!!!
…
After finally bringing his family (??) down from the sky and entering the cave, Xie Lian suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten Xiu Mao.
Xie Lian froze and turned to look at Hua Cheng.
“San… Sanlang,” Xie Lian stuttered, “Your cat…”
The situation was so urgent at that time that he forgot that Fuyao had dropped Xiu Mao down. Subconsciously, because Xiu Mao was still on Fuyao's shoulder, he wanted to get down quickly. Seeing that everyone was gathered, he went to other places. As a result, one person was still left behind in the end!
San Lang blinked and smiled, "It's not a big deal. That guy can find it himself."
Xie Lian also blinked: "Isn't this unscientific?"
Being able to understand human language is acceptable, but being able to find it is unreasonable, right?!
They took the air route! !
Sanlang laughed: "Brother, are you trying to explain science to a world that would have cursed Newton?"
Xie Lian: “But science still needs to be discussed… and who is Newton?”
Saburo looked away, didn't answer, and remained mysterious.
Huacheng (gritting his teeth): Damn it, he was taken away!
Someone a few miles away sneezed and spat out the sand in his mouth miserably.
That’s right, after all, it’s been eight hundred years, so it’s normal for Huacheng to be led astray by Mo Qiuyan’s modern knowledge and modern jokes!
Fortunately, Xie Lian's attention was not here. After confirming that Xiu Mao could find him, he felt relieved. He looked around the interior of the cave where they were, and after confirming that there was no threat, he found a place to sit down.
After a moment, he turned around and said, "Sanlang, do you know whether this Ban Yue Imperial Preceptor is a man or a woman?"
Saburo sat down next to him, and upon hearing what he said, he immediately turned into a flower tour guide and gave an online explanation.
As they chatted, Fuyao contacted Master Fangxin from Master Banyue and asked if the man in black was him.
Xie Lian dismissed this speculation based on historical facts. "I've heard a bit about this Imperial Master Fangxin. He was the Imperial Master of Yong'an State, and it seems he was born several hundred years apart from Imperial Master Banyue. And if those two were Imperial Master Banyue and Imperial Master Fangxin, how do we explain the other man in white?"
This statement made perfect sense, but Fuyao seemed to find it unreasonable and said, "You don't know the Four Pests of the Ghost Realm, but you know the Imperial Preceptor of the Yong'an Kingdom in the human world?"
Xie Lian chuckled wryly, “Sometimes when a rag collector passes by, I’ll get a little glimpse of them. But I don’t go into the ghost world to collect rags, so of course I don’t understand them.”
Beside him, Sanlang made an imperceptible move towards Xie Lian.
Huacheng: Brother, come to the ghost world! You don't even have to collect the junk when you come!
The wind outside the cave had died down a bit, and a blurry gray shadow was reflected on the stone wall at the entrance. Several people were on guard. A small head popped up. It was Xiu Mao who came over.
“So you can actually find it?” Xie Lian rubbed his temples. “That’s good, it saves me the time of looking for a cat…”
"But when this cat gets too clever, it's a bit scary..." Xie Lian pondered, glancing at Xiu Mao, who was shaking off the sand. "It's a bit suspicious, but San Lang and Xiu Mao don't seem to have any bad intentions at the moment. Let's observe for a while."
Mo Qiuyan noticed Xie Lian's inquiring gaze, silently turned his gaze away from him, and walked towards Huacheng.
Next she just wants to be a background board!
At this time, Sanlang said: "Brother."
Xie Lian turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sanlang pointed and said, "There seems to be something written on the stone you're sitting on."
"What?" Xie Lian lowered his head, then stood up. He realized he was sitting on a stone slab. Wiping off the dust, he saw words on the slab, though they were carved rather shallowly, making them less noticeable.
The slate was still half buried in the sand, and the writing stretched upwards, lost in the darkness.
Since there were words on it, I definitely had to read them. Xie Lian said, "I'm running low on mana. Could someone hold up a palm flame to help illuminate it for me? Thank you very much."
Nanfeng snapped his fingers, and instantly, a ball of fire erupted from his palm. He moved his palm toward where Xie Lian pointed, and the flame illuminated the words carved into the stone tablet. The words were strange, like a child's random scribbles, slightly tilted. Nanfeng asked, "What's this writing?"
Sanlang said, "Of course it's the writing of Banyue Country."
Nan Feng: "...Isn't this nonsense?"
Xie Lian said, “Nanfeng is probably asking what it means. Let me take a look.”
He cleared the sand and gravel from the slab and came to the top row. The characters were particularly large and seemed to be the title. These symbols appeared repeatedly on the slab.
Fuyao also raised a palm flame beside him. Seeing him pondering the words, as if recalling something, she casually asked, "Can you read Banyuewen?"
"To be honest, I have collected scrap in Half Moon Country before."
“…”
Xie Lian sensed a moment of silence, looked up, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Fuyao hummed, "I'm just curious, how many other places have you collected junk from?"
Xie Lian: It’s not a big place, just half of the Chinese mainland!
Xiu Mao was already resting with his eyes closed when he was woken up by a scream and Nanfeng's "Who is it?"
Damn! My ears are going deaf :D
The screams had come from the merchants who had taken a chance on the Half Moon Pass. They were now huddled together, trembling. Xie Lian hurried forward to comfort them. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was minor and was quickly resolved.
So... does anyone still remember this sign?
Xiu Mao stood on the stone slab, speechless.
However, not long after, she was dragged aside again, and this time Gou Huacheng personally carried out the expulsion.
Xiu Mao: "."
So this is why cats and dogs don't get along :-D
At this moment, several people finally realized that they had forgotten the stone tablet, but with Saburo's help, translation was not difficult.
But the translation made Xie Lian feel more and more that something was wrong the more he listened to it. It felt like it was hinting at him!
Xie Lian read it again, and the good ones were either implying him or him :-D
"Then how did he die?" A young businessman named Tiansheng asked curiously after learning about the general's life.
"It says that during a battle, someone's boot laces weren't tied tightly, so they stepped on something and fell..."
“Puff…”
Everyone in the cave had originally thought that the general must have died a tragic death, so they were all stunned when they heard this, wondering what kind of death he had. Then they burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahaha..."
"...he was hacked to death by the murderous soldiers on both sides."
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
Sanlang raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it funny?"
Xie Lian also said, "Ahem. Yeah, it's pretty tragic. Everyone, please show some sympathy and stop laughing. Since he's in someone else's tomb, give him some respect."
Next, Mo Qiuyan watched Hua Cheng display the art of language, causing everyone to change their attitude and begin to pay homage to the general.
Xiu Mao: "."
If you have done so, be careful these two days.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, several more screams were heard from the cave.
Xiumao (Pain Mask): My ears are really going to be broken!!
Nanfeng and Fuyao turned their arms, and two palm flames illuminated the ground from afar. Coiled above the sand was a brilliantly colored snake!
Everyone panicked: "Why is there a snake?!"
"Didn't they say that praying to this general can turn danger into safety in the Gobi Desert?! Why is it that the more I pray, the more unlucky I become!"
Xie Lian blushed, “Well… let’s focus on the current situation first…”
Everyone looked terrified.
"This... this snake doesn't make any sound at all. I have no idea when it crawled in here!"
When the snake was illuminated by the fire, it raised its body and seemed to be extremely alert, ready to attack at any time.
Nan Feng was about to strike with a palm of flame when he saw a man slowly walk over. He grabbed the snake by the waist with a casual move. He raised it with his left hand and held it in front of his eyes to observe it while saying, "Snakes in the desert, isn't that common?"
The one who is so bold and unscrupulous is naturally Sanlang.
Snake: I feel a sense of pressure :-D
Seeing the snake's tail, Xie Lian's expression suddenly changed. He said, "Watch out for its tail!"
Before he finished speaking, the snake's entangled tail suddenly let go of Sanlang's arm, and the tip of the tail seemed to turn into another snake head, which bounced back and stabbed fiercely!
The tail's thrust was incredibly powerful, but Sanlang's right hand shot out, and with a flick of his wrist, he easily caught the tail. He held it like something fun, showing it to Xie Lian and saying with a smile, "That tail is quite interesting."
At the tip of the snake's tail, a flesh-red thorn appeared. Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good it didn't get pierced. It's indeed a scorpion-tailed snake."
