Chapter 1367: Treasure Holder
Three days later.
The cold wind kept howling on the empty loess plateau, and the yellow sand in the sky was like a curtain. Even if you just take a breath or talk, a layer of yellow sand will be filled into your mouth and nose.
"Fellow villager, how long do we have to go?"
At this moment, we were riding in an ox cart, driven by a local farmer, carrying some seeds and fertilizers. We were exhausted after three days of driving, so we asked the fellow villager to take us for a ride. The
fellow villager showed his yellow teeth and said, "Come on, come on, aren't you going to Wang's? It's only a hundred miles away, and we'll be there as soon as it gets light tomorrow morning."
The fellow villager was about forty years old, but the yellow sand all over the sky and the long years of hard work made his skin very rough, and he looked a little old, like he was sixty years old.
Moreover, at first he spoke an authentic northwestern dialect, and we couldn't communicate at all. Fortunately, the fellow villager could speak Mandarin, although his accent was a bit strange.
"It will take so long?" Mu Yunxi frowned.
This time when we came to the northwest, Mu Yunxi and I only wore a pair of casual sportswear. This outfit fits us well and won't hinder us if we have a conflict or fight with others, but the disadvantage is that it is not dustproof.
Women love beauty by nature. Even if Mu Yunxi is a flying zombie, she doesn't want to be covered in dust.
But Mu Yunxi is not the worst. The worst is Lai Fu.
Lai Fu's black hair is almost dyed yellow. His teeth and eyes are covered with dust. He can hardly open his eyes. As for Xiao Qi, he has laid a layer of protection for himself, so the wind and sand can't blow in at all.
"This is considered fast. This place is remote and only accessible by car once a week. If you hadn't met me, you would have had to walk. You would have suffered." The fellow said, waving his hand and patting his face, shaking off a layer of yellow sand on his face.
"Did you rest enough?" Mu Yunxi turned his head and looked at me: "I can't stand it anymore. I feel itchy all over. I want to take a shower."
I shook my head and said, "Rest for a while. I'm a little tired."
After flying for three consecutive days and resting for only a few hours along the way, even if I were made of iron, I would be tired, let alone a mortal with flesh and blood like me.
"If you can't stand it anymore, just go first. The fellow villagers said that the hometown is easy to find. Just fly forward and you will see the largest and most imposing mansion."
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi curled his lips and said, "The Wang family is the same. How come such a big family lives in such a remote place?" "
It is impossible to abandon the old house passed down from ancestors casually. Moreover, such old houses are guarded by formations. If they are moved away easily, they will have to rearrange the formations and some layouts, which is very troublesome. The most important thing is that the Wang family has been based in the northwest for so many years, and the foundation they have accumulated must be very deep. In the Wang family's mansion, because there is a formation to protect it, some thieves dare not act easily. But if they move their whole family, there may be a lot of trouble along the way."
"Tsk." Mu Yunxi rolled his eyes at me: "Don't I know this? But the Wang family is too narrow-minded. Aren't they just some material possessions? They are so rich, why don't they move to the Central Plains to enjoy themselves? Are they still eating dust here?"
I shook my head and said nothing.
These ancient martial arts families all respect old traditions, and their thoughts may even be a little superstitious.
They have always respected the rules left by their ancestors, and this ancestral home is very likely to be the place where the Wang family will prosper. How could the Wang family give up such a precious place?
"Huh!" At this time, Xiao Qi suddenly wrinkled his nose, then his eyes lit up, and said: "There is the breath of the fairy lady."
After that, he turned his head and looked at me, and asked: "Zhang Qianyu, it's so bumpy to ride in the ox cart, can I let Lai Fu take me out for some exercise?"
"No." I refused directly.
Xiao Qi pouted when she heard this: "Why not? I'm going to be bored to death."
I didn't continue to pay attention to Xiao Qi, but huddled in the pile of seeds and began to doze off.
Although I have the original pure Yin that Luo Hua Wu Hen gave me in my body, the pure Yin energy in my body can be said to be inexhaustible.
But people will eventually get tired. At this moment, I just feel sore all over, as if I'm about to fall apart, especially my head, which has begun to ache slightly.
At this moment, when I huddled in the pile of seeds, I immediately felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly.
Because Mu Yunxi was there, I slept very deeply this time. I didn't know how long I slept. Suddenly, I heard a loud "bang". I was awakened instantly. I opened my eyes and saw that it was already night. The wind and sand during the day had stopped, and the sky was rare and clear.
However, the speed of the ox cart was very fast at this moment. The old ox pulling the cart seemed to be frightened. It made a low cry and ran madly.
"Yu Yu Yu..." The fellow villager held the rope tightly and kept shouting, but the speed of the ox cart did not slow down.
"What's going on?" I asked with squinted eyes.
"It's the sound of firearms." Mu Yunxi raised his hand, pointed to the empty wilderness in the distance, and said, "It came from that direction, not far from us."
"Firearms?" I was stunned, and then I reacted: "Someone fired a gun?"
"Oh my God, where did this treasure-hunting person come from? A fight broke out, and even Old Huang was scared." The fellow villager tightened the rope, trying to stop the ox cart, and shouted loudly.
"Treasure-hunting person?" I frowned. The so-called treasure-hunting person is actually a tomb robber, but some places call it differently. For example, in the Xiangxi area of Hunan, the tomb robbers are called Tufuzi.
"In the northwest, there are also large tombs from the Qin Dynasty. General Huang was injured in the northwest. So, there should be Xu family members guarding the northwest as well. However, that's not necessarily the case. The ancient tombs in Xiyuan are not guarded by the Xu family. Maybe there are, but they haven't appeared. Or maybe the worship has been cut off long ago."
I frowned as I looked at the wildness in the distance, and then asked, "Fellow villager, are there many people here looking for treasures?"
"Yes, a lot, but it's a different era now. How can there be so many treasures for them to look for? If there were, they would have been taken away by others long ago. How could it be their turn? We have to hurry up. Those who are looking for treasures can't find any, and they are also being robbed. If we meet them, I'm afraid my cart of seeds will be in trouble."
Although it was too early to say hurry up, the fellow villager was still trying to stop the ox cart.
"Oh no! There's a ditch ahead!" the villager shouted.
I winked at Mu Yunxi, who shook his head helplessly, then stood up, tapped the ox cart with his toes, and landed in front of the ox cart.
"Hey, girl, get out of the way, quick..."
Before the fellow villager finished his words, Mu Yunxi stretched out his hand and pointed at the ox cart.
Instantly, the old ox let out a low cry, and then its legs softened, and its two front legs knelt directly on the ground.
The carriage, which was running wildly just now, also stopped completely at this moment.
"Oh my goodness, girl, what are you doing..." The fellow villager was stunned.
"Thank you, fellow." I thanked him, left a few bills, and then quickly flew in the direction of the gunshot, followed closely by Mu Yunxi.
Xiao Qi couldn't stay still any longer, and when he saw me flying far away, he immediately rode his Laifu to catch up.
