The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

In the Western Heaven Region, Mobei, since the unprecedented first snowfall five years ago, the desert, where even the wind once carried scorching heat, has gradually lost its perpetual heat.

The scorching midday sun is no longer so fierce that it can crack rocks.

The seeds that drifted from afar have already taken root and sprouted, forming a lush green landscape. Even on ordinary days, there will be goose-feather-like snow slowly falling, bringing a moment of coolness.

However, Snow Town, which is known as the two extremes of the Western Heaven Region, has taken a completely opposite path.

The snow that used to cover the mountains is gone.

The snow that once reached above the knees is now just bare gray-brown permafrost.

The clear skies that had been obscured by dark clouds for who knows how many years suddenly cleared up without warning, becoming dazzlingly blue. However, it made people who were used to ice and snow feel inexplicably empty in their hearts.

As if the most vivid mark of this land...

As the scattered snowflakes drift down, they are slowly being erased by time...

When some people are happy, naturally some people are sad.

But no matter what, the Western Heaven Region has been a whole since ancient times. There has never been any such thing as a snowy village or a desert. Its current appearance is what it looked like at the beginning!

Just like Beixuan, which was submerged by the sea and only one tenth of it remained.

In fact, that is the original Xuanbei of these five regions!

Similar situations had also occurred in the Eastern Divine Region and the Southern Martial Region.

The only thing that has not changed is the Central Plains, which is known as the "golden age".

But in fact, before the great destruction in ancient times, the vast Central Plains was not a prosperous era where "if you are brave enough, come and try it". These were all things that happened later.

In that distant time, before the great destruction, the Central Plains was just a tiny place that was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the world.

If we talk about the east, west, south and north, which one can be said to have produced a large number of real talents and brilliant minds, the Central Plains is undoubtedly ranked last.

The first one, it can be said, is beyond the expectations of all future generations.

That is the Nanwu Territory bordering the Savage Beast Territory!

Among the many branches of the human race, the most powerful Nanga tribe lived in the Black Soil Region, one of the eight regions of Nanwu. Later, the entire tribe migrated to the Western Region.

Moreover, according to ancient documents, the Nanga tribe did not actually belong to the Five Realms.

They came from the extremely distant ancestral home of the human race, behind the South Gate of Heaven!

That year, the Nanga tribe, which was known for its fiery nature, gave birth to a Flame Emperor. It was the Flame Emperor who led the Nanga tribe to unprecedented prosperity, and it was also the Flame Emperor who led the Nanga tribe to complete destruction.

All of this is just to give future generations of human beings a glimmer of hope.

After the death of Emperor Yan, "Heaven" canonized him as "Yan Zun" and ordered the surviving human beings to praise the name of "Yan Zun" forever.

The Flame Emperor died, but the Flame Lord lived forever.

This is the only one who is on par with his predecessors and has been promoted to the Heavenly Venerable of the human race as a latecomer.

His achievements and his status in the hearts of future generations...

Only below the original Great Celestial Lord!

He is the Flame Emperor, the last leader of the Nanga tribe, and also the Flame Lord, the human race's supreme ruler who will be praised forever. However, people usually like to add the word "Great" in front of the name of the Flame Lord.

Just like the Great Heavenly Venerable who first led the human race to rise, the Great Flame Venerable!

The heroic spirit of Yan Zun shines through the ages, and his majesty is known throughout the world.

From the beginning of "That year, the Nanga tribe gave birth to a Flame Emperor", to "Fortunately, that year, the Nanga tribe gave birth to a Flame Emperor", the Flame Emperor proved everything with practical actions.

The Arctic Ice Emperor only loved the human race from the beginning to the end, but the Nanjia Flame Emperor saved not only the human race, he saved all living beings in these five domains!

An emperor and an emperor, a pair of natural enemies.

Even at the last moment, they were unable to put aside their grudges and laugh it off.

But they all died fighting to protect the human race.

The extreme ice is not as cold as imagined.

The blazing flames were not as warm as I imagined.

But just as the ice, which was releasing warmth all the time, melted, the flame, which was cold by nature, also completely burst out with its passion that had been accumulated for a long time!

Except for this pair who seem to be born enemies.

There are actually two other outstanding leaders among the human race.

The Buddha of the West is one of them.

There is another person whose name has become taboo, unspeakable and indescribable.

A name forgotten by the world.

The Ice Emperor of the North Pole, the Flame Emperor of Nanjia, the Buddha King of the West...

They correspond to the Northern Emperor, Southern Emperor, and Western Buddha respectively.

This forgotten man's final achievements were no less than these.

It's just that he took the wrong path and chose to be forgotten by the world.

"We're already in the desert, but it's not as hot as you say!"

Gu Junjun was lying on the window of the carriage, curiously observing the scene outside. Just as he was about to open his mouth to take a sip of the fresh air that belonged to nature, a sudden surge of dust filled his mouth with sand.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh..."

"Hey bro, a sandstorm is coming, close the windows!"

"Ahem! I'm choking to death. This is the nth time..."

At this time, Da Gu and Xiao Gu had already arrived in Mobei on the caravan's carriage.

Although there is still empty desert all around.

The sun is still scorching.

But if there is something to block the sun, it will only be a little hotter.

It's not much different from summer elsewhere.

However, due to the lack of green vegetation, the desert experiences sandstorms every now and then. Five years ago, the frequency was not so high.

But since the first snow, Snow Town and Mobei seem to be connected.

Strong cold currents often blow from the north to the south, causing overwhelming sandstorms, which really cause great trouble to the people living in the desert who already have difficulty traveling!

Look, since entering Mobei, Da Gu and Xiao Gu have encountered no less than five sandstorms of varying sizes, each of which was fierce and difficult to guard against.

The most serious incident was that if the caravan had not reacted in time, it would have been almost blown away!

Whoosh whoosh——

A sandstorm raged outside the carriage, coming and going quickly.

Soon the outside world returned to calm.

"I have finally experienced the exotic customs of the desert."

Gu Junjun said with a bitter face: "There is really no harm without comparison. Coming from the beautiful Jiangnan area to this desolate place with no one to see and dust everywhere, what kind of romance can I have!"

"Gu Yi, I regret it. Is it too late for us to go back now?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm already here..."

Gu Yi lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the bare scene outside.

Not long after, the sky, which had been cloudless just a moment ago, gradually turned gray and dark, accompanied by faint thunder, as if it was about to rain.

The journey was long and when we arrived here, it was already winter.

Generally speaking, except in very rare cases, it is almost not cold in Mobei during the day. Even if it is cold, it can only be described as chilly. Only at night can you feel the real cold.

Putting aside the cold winter months in the secular world, in the past, Mobei also generally had large temperature differences between day and night. In fact, it is not that cold now compared to the past.

But in the past, the cold could only be felt at night.

Now I can feel it in the daytime too.

Just like now, dark clouds are pressing down and thunder is rumbling.

As the world grew darker, the temperature continued to drop.

Most people around me have become accustomed to this change.

I put on a cotton coat that I had prepared early and left everything alone.

Gu Yi didn't know what had happened in Mobei during the ten years he was asleep, but he also knew the truth that "survival of the fittest".

If you can't change it, you can only try to adapt to it.

"Put it on, don't catch a cold."

Gu Yi took out two thick coats, gave one to Gu Junjun and put one on himself.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, it is better not to disclose your identity as a practitioner.

Especially in the carriage where mortals gather together.

Once exposed...

It’s nothing, one can practice and the other can’t.

Gu Yi was mainly afraid of some old stubborn people with feudal ideas.

You can worship him in your heart.

In real life, it’s better not to do things like kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times!

He can't afford it!

The carriage was an ordinary one, and the people around were all ordinary people.

However, besides Gu Yi, there is an exception.

Gu Yi glanced at the woman in the same carriage, who was sitting quietly in the corner, wrapped in a linen scarf, with only a pair of slightly closed eyes showing, as if she was pretending to be asleep.

If I'm not mistaken, this should also be a cultivator...

Adhering to the principle of "less is worse than more".

Gu Yi did not choose to release his breath to test the woman's strength.

He and Gu Junjun got off the bus at the next station, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

At this moment, the woman's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Gu Yi withdrew his gaze in time and closed his eyes to meditate.

He Ying, who had disguised himself as a desert dweller, frowned slightly and glanced doubtfully at everyone in the carriage, finally stopping at the man in white...

Enter the yawning child beside him.

Why does this little brat look so familiar?

He looks like the guy who fought against Senior Banshan in the past...

He Ying thought secretly.

Then she turned her attention to Gu Yi who was beside Gu Junjun.

The confusion in her beautiful eyes grew deeper.

Is that Sword Lord a member of the same race? It's okay if he's small, but how big is he...

Oh yes, these two should be father and son.

He Ying slapped his forehead lightly and laughed at himself.

Father and son are just father and son, why would you associate it with race...

"How long will it take to get there?"

Gu Junjun had a resentful expression and murmured softly: "Sitting in the car all the time, my butt is numb. Gu Yi, why don't you buy a sand boat..."

He pinched his nose and leaned close to Gu Yi's ear: "The uncle next to me always likes to pick his toes. After picking, he likes to wipe them on his clothes. It's so unhygienic."

"Puch..."

Gu Yi covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing in front of others.

"Hold on a bit, we'll get off at the next post station. But as for sand boats, there might not be any at the post station. If you don't mind the discomfort, you can buy a couple of camels."

“A camel would be fine too!”

Gu Junjun glanced at the old man who was still picking his feet on the other side, with a look of disgust on his face.

"It can't be this bad, right?"

"And since a while ago, have you smelled a...peculiar smell of urine?"

Gu Yi smiled but said nothing.

This kind of thing, how should I put it, people have three urgent needs, it is inevitable.

What's more, the post stations are far apart from each other.

Because of the frequent wind and sand, we basically never stopped.

The only few times we went there were when we had to leave the caravan and pay for our own meals. The other times were either short stops to avoid sandstorms, or we followed the car master to repair minor problems with the car.

The trip has already been delayed, so how could we have the time to stop and rest?

It might be possible to change to another place.

But this is the dangerous Mobei, and every time you stay here, the danger increases!

If it fell into the hands of those bloodless bandits...

That's what it means to be worse than death!

In this sparsely populated yellow sand desert that seems to have no end, people who are old, ugly, penniless and of no use can barely survive if they are lucky, but even if they survive, they may not be able to walk out of the desert alive.

On the contrary, those strong young men and women with a little bit of beauty...

Once you are kidnapped by the desert bandits, you will never escape from their clutches in this life!

If ordinary people were led into the winding and self-sufficient mountains, they might still have a chance of escape, but if they lost their way in the desert, there would be only one end waiting for them.

That is - death!

“Wow, it’s snowing!”

Gu Junjun, who was lying on the window to breathe fresh air, seemed to have discovered something new and couldn't help but exclaimed, which attracted Gu Yi's attention.

On the way here, Gu Yi heard that it could snow in the desert.

All signs indicate that this is true, but only when Gu Yi sees it with his own eyes can he truly appreciate the rare and shocking natural wonder.

It turns out that it really snows in the desert...

"From out of town?"

Seeing Gu Junjun's surprised look, the old man snorted complacently, "It's just snow, look at how ignorant you are."

If it was just snow, it wouldn't be considered a rare occurrence strictly speaking. It would snow in the Eastern Divine Territory, the Northern Profound Territory, the Prosperous Central Plains, and various areas of the Southern Martial Realm.

But as the saying goes, different people have different opinions.

What really made Gu Yi feel incredible was...

Before the first snow in Mobei, there had never been any related records in later generations!

Xiaoyao Tower stopped its intelligence business due to many reasons, including the invasion of Kuixintang and the disappearance of the second in command.

But what about the desert?

What exactly has happened to this land?

How could it suddenly snow in the desert where it hasn't snowed for tens of thousands of years?

Is this a distortion of human nature, or is it morality...

bah bah bah!

Something major must have happened in Mobei!

Its influence is even not weaker than the time when Beixuan was submerged by the sea!

buzz-

The roar of the Sand Horse's engine came from the front of the caravan.

Gu Yi noticed that the moment the noise came, the woman who was sitting quietly in the corner of the carriage, who seemed to be dozing, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Everyone listen!!!"

The mercenary captain in charge of this escort shouted angrily:

"The desert bandits are coming!"

"If you don't want to die, pick up your weapons and fight back!"
