Half an hour later, fires were blazing among the hills, and an unprecedentedly large bonfire was lit on the wasteland.
Outside the burning Camel City, Lin Zhongtian, Yun Ye and Xuan Zang stood on a small mound, silently looking at the flames in front of them.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and lowered his head, and continued to recite scriptures in a low voice.
The firelight was reflected in Yun Ye's pupils, and he thought that if someone discovered the ashes of Camel City in the future, it might become a grassland legend.
Thinking of this, Yun Ye moved his eyes upwards to the top of the flame and found that the rising black smoke seemed to be blocked by some force. It did not rush straight or tilted into the sky, but hovered about thirty meters above Camel City.
At the same time, at the edge of Camel City, the jumping flames showed no sign of spreading outward, as if there was an invisible formation that firmly bound the flames and smoke.
Seeing this scene, Yun Ye's eyes were complicated and he was shocked.
He glanced at Lin Zhongtian beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Is this the legendary Qimen Dunjia?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said leisurely: "It's just a simplest strange array. There's no need to make a fuss. If you were less lazy back then, you could also build a strange array of this level..."
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Yun Ye was slightly startled, then he reacted and secretly glanced at Xuanzang beside him.
He was so shocked that he forgot his own personality for a moment and revealed his true colors in front of Master Xuanzang.
Fortunately, Master Xuanzang was concentrating on reciting the scriptures and did not hear Yun Ye's words.
Yun Ye closed his mouth and suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, preparing to speak them out after seeing Xuanzang off.
After making the decision, Yun Ye turned around and looked at the herds of camels and horses behind him.
That’s right, the reason why it took them half an hour, in addition to the fact that Lin Zhongtian needed time to set up the formation, the main reason was the thousands of camels and horses in Camel City.
It took a lot of effort to free them from the camel city.
However, with Lin Zhongtian around, the most laborious process was just untying the restraints.
As for how to restrain these large numbers of livestock after untying them, Lin Zhongtian said that with just a glance, these camels and horses would immediately regard him as their leader and stay here obediently, waiting for the fire to end.
Yun Ye was no longer surprised by Lin Zhongtian's miraculous behavior.
After all, in front of the miracle of one man and one sword breaking three thousand armors, merely shocking animals is nothing.
Yun Ye walked down the mound and came to a dozen or so carriages at the edge of the camel herd.
He first lifted the curtain of the first carriage and took a look at Xu Jingzong's condition. Seeing that his eyes were closed and his breath was long, he came to the carriage where the foreign girl was and looked at her through the gap in the curtain with complicated eyes.
If he didn't care about Lin Zhongtian's words before, now, after seeing so many things that go against common sense, even though he came from a later era with advanced science, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
...Is there really any destiny in this world?
Yun Ye stared at the sleeping foreign girl for a while.
Suddenly, Lin Zhongtian’s call came from the mound behind him.
Yun Ye loosened the curtain and turned to look at the mound. He saw that Master Xuanzang had finished reciting the scriptures at some point and was now standing with Lin Zhongtian, looking at him calmly.
Lin Zhongtian shouted loudly, signaling Yun Ye to bring over the horse that had been prepared earlier.
After Yun Ye did as he was told and handed the reins to Xuanzang, Lin Zhongtian said with a smile: "I don't know how many years it will take for us to part. I hope that Master will reach India soon and seek the true scriptures. Amitabha..."
Recalling Lin Zhongtian's ruthless killing not long ago, Yun Ye always felt that Lin Zhongtian's chanting of the Buddhist name was just a pretense.
But when he saw Lin Zhongtian putting his hands together, he suddenly became dazed and felt that there was indeed a Buddha standing in front of him.
Xuanzang felt the same way. He was stunned for a moment, then he put his hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, benefactor!"
Yun Ye came back to his senses and said quickly: "Don't forget to write more diaries and draw more maps on the way!"
Xuanzang looked at Yun Ye deeply, clasped his hands together, nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the horse behind him.
"drive!"
After mounting the horse, Xuanzang gave a clear shout and rode away on his horse, which was equipped with plenty of dry food and water.
Lin Zhongtian looked at his back, smiled slightly, turned around and walked down the hill.
"Let's go, it's time to go back!"
Yun Ye nodded and followed Lin Zhongtian.
Soon, the two men each drove a carriage and left, leading thousands of camels and horses like the leaders of a herd.
On the way back, Yun Ye looked at Lin Zhongtian's profile, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Tian, if you are not a time traveler, I really wonder if you are a god hidden in some valley!"
"Martial arts, internal strength, strange formations, how can you, a modern person, understand so many mysterious things?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "If I have to explain, it's probably because of my interest. I loved this kind of thing in my previous life. Not only did I collect a lot of information and ancient books through various channels, but I also stayed in Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain and other places for a period of time."
"But unfortunately, in our time, many things are difficult to verify." "It was not until I came here that I realized it was really an environmental problem."
"All the knowledge of cultivation that I learned in my previous life can actually be verified in this world. The internal skills and the strange array formations you see are the result of my accumulation over the past three years since I came here..."
Yun Ye opened his eyes wide and asked, "You have been traveling through time for three years?"
Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Yes, but I am an illegal resident. It is not easy for me to show up in public. I can only live in seclusion in the mountains."
Yun Ye showed admiration on his face: "Being able to live in seclusion for three years and practice in seclusion for three years, I definitely can't do this."
As he said that, Yun Ye gave a thumbs up and said, “Brother Tian, you are this!”
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and did not comment.
Yun Ye asked curiously again: "By the way, Brother Tian, what did you do in your previous life?"
Lin Zhongtian said casually: "In the first half of my life, I inherited the estate, and in the second half, I was barely a Taoist priest. What about you?"
...That means the rich second generation!
Yun Ye pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Worker, geological engineer."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "No wonder you know so much about geography..."
Yun Ye perked up, looked at Lin Zhongtian with a sharp gaze and said, "Apart from my major, I have learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge. I know a little bit about everything, but I am not proficient in any of them. In this era, it is enough to pretend to be a disciple of a god."
"But you are different, Brother Tian. You have inner strength and knowledge from your past life. You and I can verify each other and prove the existence of Baiyujing."
At this point, Yun Ye paused, frowned and said: "However, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. Since ancient times, immortality has always been the most difficult hurdle for emperors. Now Li Er is in his prime and can still maintain his wisdom, but it is hard to say in the future."
"I think that after we go back, Brother Tian, you'd better be more restrained. Don't show off your extraordinary abilities if you can, and keep your force within the acceptable range for ordinary people, so as to avoid being targeted by Li Er in the future..."
Hearing Yun Ye's nagging instructions, Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
"…You'd better know your limits!"
Yun Ye recalled the scene he had just seen in Tuo City, and his face was filled with black lines.
While the two were talking, the carriage and camel caravan passed by the hills and returned to the flat wasteland.
At this time, Yun Ye had been chatting with Lin Zhongtian for nearly thirty minutes, and the topics they discussed were basically things that he had kept in his heart and could not tell others.
But Lin Zhongtian is a time traveler.
Although it was only the first day that the two of them met, he was the only person they could confide in in this regard.
Just as Yun Ye was chatting with Lin Zhongtian with a smile on his face about the global political affairs of the previous life, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from the front.
Lin Zhongtian and Yun Ye looked in the direction of the sound and saw a warrior in full armor and holding a lance riding towards them.
Yun Ye perked up, and immediately looked at Lin Zhongtian and stopped the topic.
When the warrior stopped in front, Yun Ye grabbed the reins, smiled and waved, "Chu Mo!"
"Why are you here?!"
Cheng Chumo laughed loudly, drove his horse to the side of the carriage, met the two people's eyes and said: "I have said it before, with Brother Lin here, there will be no accidents, but Old Immortal Sun is still worried, and insisted that I come out to find you——"
Before he could finish, Cheng Chumo's voice suddenly stopped.
Yun Ye looked in surprise and saw him riding on a horse, his eyes wide open, staring in amazement at the endless herd of camels behind the carriage.
“This…what’s going on?”
“…”
Yun Ye looked back and sighed, "This is a long story..."
…
…
"So, you pointed out the location of Baiyujing to them, and they gave you these thousands of camels as a reward?"
In the camp, Sun Simiao and a group of officers looked at Yun Ye in astonishment.
Yun Ye nodded, looked at everyone and said: "Has anyone heard of the name Yetuo? It was he who led me out of Shuofang City."
Sun Simiao noticed the key words and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Bring out?"
Yun Ye took out the transfer order document he had received earlier and said with a firm tone: "This transfer order document was forged!"
