Chapter 243 Overnight
After going down the mountain, the carriage headed north.
When they passed through Jindi, they met a escort team going to the capital. Shi Xiaoliu entrusted the prepared bag directly to the escort team.
As they approached the north, the surroundings became increasingly desolate.
The sky is vast, the wilderness is endless, Shi Zelan is glad that he is now a cultivator.
If she were an ordinary person, she would never come to such a place even if she was beaten to death.
The oncoming sand and wind slid down the protective barrier, and Shi Xiaoliu couldn't help but blink his eyes.
"Let us get off the carriage."
In the carriage, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng spoke almost at the same time.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan jumped off the carriage and turned around to see Master Decheng putting away the carriage.
The four of them walked quickly in the wilderness. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan ran quickly forward, but they were still far behind Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.
"I didn't expect the North to be so desolate. I'm afraid the officials in the court don't have their minds on this."
"With internal and external troubles, even if they are willing, they can only rush to solve the problems at hand."
Their figures soon disappeared at the end of the road.
Three days later, Master Decheng and his entourage appeared in Sand City, exhausted. They entered the city gate and paid the entrance fee.
We checked into the largest inn in Sand City and rented a small courtyard there.
As they were on their way, they met members of the escort team and heard from them the legends of the Sand City.
Not far from Shacheng was a border town of a country in ancient times. However, many years later, the capital of that country disappeared overnight.
The mayor of Sand City at that time led many people to search for it, but all they found was a desert.
The city lord died of illness not long after returning. Some things about his homeland were sealed in the records of Sand City.
After hearing the legend, Master Decheng said to Master Shanzheng: "We don't need to lead them forward blindly. Let's go find the lost homeland."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were also somewhat interested in this disappeared homeland. What kind of disaster could cause a country to disappear overnight?
They stayed in the inn, and Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng soon discovered that there was no Taoist temple or monastery in the city.
They were very surprised and asked the innkeeper: "We have been to many places, but only in your Sand City have we not seen any Taoist temples or monasteries."
The host laughed heartily and said, "We in Sand City would rather believe in our own ancestors."
Shanzheng Zhenren asked curiously, "Does your city not welcome the Taoist priests?"
The host thought for a while and said: "The Taoist priests and monks probably won't come to our Sand City.
We in Shacheng are short of water and food, and there are very few outsiders. There are not many guests like you who are prepared to stay for three days. ”
The Dong family was actually very curious about Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, because they had predicted through divination that a miracle would only happen in the north.
They brought their two children all the way here on foot, and even when they reached Sand City, they insisted on continuing on.
The host looked at the expressions on Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng's faces. These two had already come such a long way and there was no way they could turn back.
After staying in the inn for three days, I had almost found out the news.
When Master Decheng and his group were leaving, the host specially chased them out and said, "If you come across a place with water on the way, be sure to prepare some extra water for drinking and use."
All the way north, there was only wind and sand, no green at all.
Master Decheng and his group drifted forward directly, and two days later, they arrived at the territory of the legendary homeland.
What I saw before me was a desolate scene.
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng looked serious. Shi Xiaoliu crushed a pill, and countless strange insects crawled out of the sand.
"Is there anything alive underground?"
Shi Zelan sighed and casually threw down a purification talisman.
There was a flash of fire, and the strange insect in front of them stopped moving.
Shi Xiaoliu quickly put the porcelain bottle that he had taken out back.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other, and Master Decheng said, "Xiao Liu, Sister Lan, now that we are here to raid the battlefield, you don't need to use elixirs and talismans, just rely on your own abilities to fight these things."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded after hearing this. Shi Xiaoliu took out his sword, and wherever the sword light went, countless strange insects were killed.
Shi Zelan initially took a sword, but she quickly switched to a brick.
After she smashed countless strange insects with a brick, she changed to a sword.
Wherever the swords of the brother and sister passed, the strange insects were killed.
When Shi Zelan saw the strange insect retreating, he said to Shi Xiaoliu on a whim: "Xiaoliu, you protect me. I will try to set up a killing array with sword energy."
Shi Xiaoliu agreed to Shi Zelan, and Shi Zelan crushed a piece of spirit stone at this moment, and her sword quickly pointed in various directions.
The killing array was successfully set up, and Shi Zelan just sat on the ground to meditate and rest.
Shanzheng Zhenren frowned and looked at her. After she had rested, Shanzheng Zhenren looked at her and said, "Sister Lan, if we encounter a big battle, your actions just now were too reckless."
Shi Zelan agreed with Master Shanzheng's words: "Master, I won't make the same mistake again."
"Sister Lan, this is not a wrong decision, but your current cultivation level cannot support your idea.
You have good ideas and the right direction, but your cultivation level cannot keep up, which is your fatal flaw. ”
Shi Zelan immediately understood what Master Shanzheng said. She looked at Master Shanzheng and said, "Master, I understand. I will practice hard to improve my cultivation level."
The strange insect was trapped in the killing formation. Master Decheng pointed his hand casually at the ground, and a big hole appeared on the ground.
After looking at the big hole, Master Shanzheng frowned and said, "There is nothing underneath, only a layer of sand on top. Was the old country buried by the sand overnight?"
Master Decheng decided to go down the cave to explore the way, and he floated down.
"babble."
The three people on the ground heard him exclaim, and Shi Xiaoliu called out, "Master, how are you?"
There was no more sound from underground. Master Shanzheng looked into the cave, but did not see Master Decheng.
He threw a talisman into the killing formation, fire rose, and the killing formation was broken. Of course, the strange insect was also burned to death.
Shanzheng Zhenren said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "I'm going down, do you two want to follow me?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time: "Master, I will follow."
Taoist Master Shanzheng reached out and picked up Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan and jumped directly into the cave. Looking at the cave from above, they didn't feel it was very deep.
But as he fell, Shi Zelan felt that the hole was very deep, and as he fell, he heard the sounds of countless birds singing.
“Don’t listen to the noise.”
After Master Shanzheng’s reminder, the sounds of birds seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Shi Zelan suddenly became alert. It turned out that curiosity can kill people sometimes.
While Master Shanzheng was falling down, he was also paying attention to the movements around him and naturally felt that something was wrong in the air.
