Zhen Guojiang

The sky is dark, the wind is whistling, and the wind is carrying coarse sand and fine gravel. There is a vast expanse of dim yellow in front of you, spreading for thousands of miles. The river bed has been baptized by drought and wind and sand, and it is exposed brightly on the Gobi Desert. It spreads from the desert. , Telling the danger ahead, those plants that seem to be green, are now persistently clinging to this Gobi, and contending with this desolation.

It was the first time Yan Xia saw such a scene. Standing here, he felt that he was just a bit of desolation, with lofty pride in his chest, and his exhaustion would be washed away. All his strong thoughts were concentrated in this vast desert.

Yan Xia was obsessed with this, and felt that he had finally realized what those great Confucianists said, "Send a mayfly in the world, a drop in the vast ocean [Note]", his somewhat humble thoughts were broken here, and he wanted to escape from the ruthlessness of self-pity. In the cage, it feels like he wants to live as a different person, different from before, even different from those people in his dream.

"I heard from the people in the town that there used to be a high mountain here, but it disappeared some year ago, and those people don't remember it. It feels like a myth, and the vicissitudes of life are only a moment." Yunxiao's voice sounded.Yan Xia glanced at Yunxiao, and Yunxiao was startled. There was no indifference in his gaze before, and it was full of aggression: "Maybe it's not just a myth."

Yunxiao was taken aback, maybe it was because they had been together for too long, she couldn't see the changes in Yan Xia's body clearly, she remembered that although she begged Yan Xia to do something and had always believed in him, she only cared about Yan Xia's martial arts, I haven't observed the others carefully, but looking carefully at this moment, Yan Xia's long hair is casually tied, his face is handsome, his figure is tall and straight, and his figure is well-proportioned. He can be called a handsome man.Yunxiao thought that if it was the first time they met, she might be shy, but after getting along for so long, she has already regarded him as a family member, and now she finds out that he is a handsome man, she doesn't even feel a blush or a heartbeat.

She replied, "My lord, do you have other ideas?"

Yan Xia didn't answer, but thoughtfully. At this time, the bell rang, and a villager brought three camels. There were enough dry food and water on the camels, which were hung between the two humps. The rest of the money was given to the villagers. The villagers looked at the three of them worriedly, and persuaded them: "I didn't mean you, you are looking for death. There are three people in your party, one is in poor health, one is still young, and the other is a daughter. Baby, the longer you go, the more dangerous the desert will be, can you make it there?"

Xi Zhen's expression was originally condensed, but now his expression softened after hearing this persuasion, and he said politely: "Old man, thank you for reminding me, but there are some things that have to be done."

The villager sighed: "A black storm is about to blow at this time, and that thing cannot be resisted by humans."

Xi Zhen frowned slightly after hearing this: "Thank you for reminding me, old man."

Yan Xia was used to seeing Xi Zhen's behavior along the way, he was always honest when he challenged people in the Jianghu, but he was very gentle towards ordinary people.Originally, when we met, he was full of temperament, but now it seems that what he did is worthy of the title of his elegant cloud sword in white clothes. He just bought those camels, gentle and gentle, and treated each other with kindness. The old man has already given his heart to him.

When the old man left, Xi Zhen saw Yan Xia's expression was strange, and said, "So?"

Yan Xia replied, "It feels different from what I usually see."

Xi Zhen looked at Gobi and murmured, "It's really different."

Xi Zhen was a little distracted, Yan Xia thought: "How outstanding is that martial arts leader, let this young hero risk his life to save him."

They rode on camels and walked on the vast Gobi, fine silk stones hit them, Yan Xia said: "It seems that what the old man said is true."

Xi Zhen said: "That old man has lived here for a long time, naturally he has more experience than us, but now is the time when the black storm breaks out, even if you want to ask him to lead the way, there is nothing you can do."

Yan Xia: "After all, he is old."

Xi Zhen looked a little guilty: "I shouldn't have asked you to help me. Although you said you were going to make a name for yourself in the Jianghu, but with your martial arts, you don't have to take such a risk. It's just that my internal injuries have not healed, and the lord is trapped. Dangerous situation, I have to rush into this dangerous place, maybe I have this crazy blood, and I can't meditate unless I save him."

Yan Xia said: "We happen to be fine, the leader of the martial arts is missing, I claim to be a member of the Jianghu, and it is my duty to rescue the leader."

"I've been wondering, are you the only one here?"

Xi Zhen replied: "I'm not the only one, but I've always been alone, so naturally I'm not with them, but they should still be stagnant in the Central Plains now."

"You didn't notify them?"

"Maybe I came out too early. They all respect me as a senior, and they don't dare to contact me so much. Over time, I only have some news about the seniors, but I have already sent the news to the old leader through the carrier pigeon."

Yan Xia had one last doubt: "If we don't go to Wuduchi to save you, will you?"

"I still have means to save my life. They dare not touch me. In the Five Poison Pool, although I am at a disadvantage, my internal strength is slowly recovering. I will still escape, but it will take longer."

Yan Xia admired: "It's no wonder people in Jianghu hold you in high esteem."

Xi Zhen sighed: "It's nothing but Jiang Hu's absurd praise."

"However, you said that you are new to the Jianghu, probably because you don't know your own martial arts. I dare to say that most people in the Jianghu are not your opponents, and there are very few new talents in the Jianghu who can match you."

Yan Xia smiled and said, "If I hadn't seen this desolate desert, which is boundless for thousands of miles, I might have cared a little bit, but after seeing it, I didn't have any thoughts about it."

After hearing this, Xizhen said with emotion: "They all said that people who came out of the desert alive would let their hearts dangle from the mundane world. Seeing you now, what they said is true."

Yan Xia: "Maybe I went back after leaving Damoxin."

Xi Zhen raised his eyebrows: "You are not the same as when I first met you, it feels more like your age."

Yan Xia restrained his expression, and said: "People are always changing. Different choices for one thing can lead to different paths." Yan Xia thought of the missing Shen Yu. The illusion that he would leave, now that he said he would leave, Yan Xia was holding his breath in his heart, but this vast scene changed what Yan Xia thought before, and made him feel more relaxed, but he had already made a secret decision, he spent his whole life, Shen Yu must also be revived, so that he cannot leave as soon as he says he is now.

They walked for a day and a night, according to the map that Xi Zhen got from Qingping Palace, and finally arrived at the desert. Xi Zhen looked at the hazy weather and said to Yan Xia: "It seems that the black storm is coming soon. Get some quicksand."

But they seemed to have come too coincidentally, they walked all morning, Yunxiao's eyes sharpened, and shouted: "Black Storm, come here."

They got off the camels and hid behind the sand dunes. The wind blew the yellow sand, bringing thick black clouds in the sky, and approached the three of them. The wind was strong, and they held on tightly. The sand poured over them, and Yunxiao could feel that they were together, but the black storm was getting closer and closer, and stopped here for a while, Yunxiao and the three of them pressed hard against the sand dune, suddenly, she Feeling the loosening of his arms, Yun Xiao's heart skipped a beat, his fear was overwhelming, the storm finally passed, how could there be Yan Xia?

Yunxiao looked for people everywhere, and after walking two hills, he saw a huge oasis in front of him, which had been baptized by the storm and was still standing there.

They walked for a day and a night, according to the map that Xi Zhen got from Qingping Palace, and finally arrived at the desert. Xi Zhen looked at the hazy weather and said to Yan Xia: "It seems that the black storm is coming soon. Get some quicksand."

But they seemed to have come too coincidentally, they walked all morning, Yunxiao's eyes sharpened, and shouted: "Black Storm, come here."

They got off the camels and hid behind the sand dunes. The wind blew the yellow sand, bringing thick black clouds in the sky, and approached the three of them. The wind was strong, and they held on tightly. The sand poured over them, and Yunxiao could feel that they were together, but the black storm was getting closer and closer, and stopped here for a while, Yunxiao and the three of them pressed hard against the sand dune, suddenly, she Feeling the loosening of his arms, Yun Xiao's heart skipped a beat, his fear was overwhelming, the storm finally passed, how could there be Yan Xia?

Yunxiao looked for people everywhere, and after walking two hills, he saw a huge oasis in front of him that had been baptized by the storm legal person, standing there naked, Xizhen's expression was solemn: "Farewell Sect, we've arrived."

Yan Xia was very surprised at the moment. He looked at the scene in front of him. In front of him was a dark corridor, behind which was a huge copper door with intricate patterns. It can only provide a little light, and it is impossible to see the road ahead at all. Yan Xia watched the long light go on and off, and stroked a road to spread. Yan Xia knew that the owner here only gave him a road. Someone deliberately brought him here, but he didn't know if Xizhen and Yunxiao were here.

He walked for an unknown amount of time, taking precautions all the way. He felt that there was a murderous aura hidden under the long corridor, and infinite murderous intent would leak out at some point. He was suppressed by this murderous aura, and his blood was surging. Suddenly, he found that there was an extra bronze door in front of him, which was different from what he had seen before. The bronze door behind was engraved with various inscriptions, and this was also a variety of inscriptions. Although Yan Xia didn't know much about it, he could tell that the two languages ​​were different. Very good, he's trapped inside, Yan Xia thought with a blank expression.

Yan Xia couldn't push the door open, just like he had pushed the door behind it before, so he had to observe the mystery on the door, which was arranged according to the formation, Yan Xia thought: Shen Yu only taught me the marching cloth. but never taught me that.He remembered Shen Yu, and he intuitively thought that this place must have something to do with Shen Yu.

He observed the birds and beasts on the corridor wall one by one, and finally found out why the place was filled with murderous aura. These birds and beasts died in a miserable state. Although they were engraved on them, their eyes were actually closed, and their bodies were covered by countless chains made of inscriptions. surround.

He saw one after another, some Yan Xia seemed to have seen before, and they were no different from ordinary birds and beasts, while others were in strange shapes, such as a fish with two wings, a strange snake with four wings and six legs, and a snake with long hair on its head. The horned eagle... He walked for a long time, saw the right side from the corridor wall on the left, and suddenly saw a familiar creature, resembling an ape, he remembered that the murderer was swallowed by someone who was drunk, and he and the others It's not the same. Although he is also entangled by the inscription, his eyes are half-closed, as if he is about to pounce on him in the next second.

Yan Xia seemed to have a feeling, he seemed to know what the owner meant here, and he could only go out after solving this thing.

There is a sword in his hand, not his Chi Xiao, but a sword that was placed in front of him when he came here, with the word "Shen Du" engraved on it, and there are some other traces on it.

He picked up the sword, and for some reason, he felt something in his heart, as if it should belong to him in the first place.

He was thinking that the owner here gave him a sword, probably to kill this "ape", but he really should kill him, after all, he did have a grudge against this thing in the dream, and he wanted everything to happen There is God's will in him, he just had the intention to kill, the ape on the corridor wall widened his eyes, and suddenly came down from the corridor wall, Yan Xia stepped back suddenly, he pulled out Shendu, and slashed at it. The mahogany sword back then was much stronger, but that ape was obviously stronger than the nine-tailed fox. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he dodged Yan Xia's fast sword, and approached Yan Xia's eyes. Yan Xia broke out in a cold sweat instantly. Folding his backhand, the ape hit Yan Xia's right arm, and Yan Xia's sword also slashed across its left side. After being hit, the ape jumped up and hid in the dark place. Yan felt that it was staring at him, His back was like a light, he knew that the ape was dormant waiting for a chance to attack him, he was bleeding from his right arm now, he knew that the ape was also in the same condition, maybe even worse than him.

Relying on his intuition, he felt that the ape seemed to be in the same position. He wanted to fight, but just as he was about to make a move, a long sigh sounded in his head, and the voice was clear and clear: "The fifth form of the Taihe Sword Art is the method of killing monsters. It's only useful against monsters."

Yan Xia's heart was full of turmoil. He knew it was Shen Yu's voice, and he must be here. Yan Xia seemed very melancholy when recalling Shen Yu teaching him "Hundred rivers flow into the sea". Yan Xia didn't know why, and finally Shen Yu stared at him After a long time, he finally said, "I will teach you the last pose."

Yan Xia could be said to be very happy at the time, but the more he practiced, the more disappointed he became. He found that although he had mastered the move, it was useless at all. He found that the power of this move was very small and could not keep up with the other four moves. Now he told him that this move It is the technique of exterminating demons, Yan Xia has a feeling of "so it is", now he finally knows that Shen Yu's melancholy at that time made him learn this technique, maybe Shen Yu didn't want him to be able to cultivate immortality at that time However, even though he had learned this trick, he only told Yan Xia what it was useful for when he was in danger.

Yan Xia recalled "Hundred Rivers Entering the Sea". His sword was like a rainbow, and he stabbed at the ape. The ape felt the crisis, and a wisp of gray air gushed out of his mouth. Yan Xia dodged, and the gray air rushed towards the corridor wall. The strange beasts that had already died became active one after another. Although they did not open their eyes, they tried desperately to break free from the chain. Looking at the bleeding arm, he knew that this was the trick of the ape, and the ape also started to attack Yan Xia at this moment.

Yan Xia struggled to feel uncomfortable, and finally used Baichuan to enter the sea. The ape was a little sluggish after exhaling gray air. Although he rushed over, he was no match for Yan Xia's desire to survive. Yan Xia felt that he could not die, and he wanted to see him again Shen Yu, "Hundred Rivers Entering the Sea" and Shen Du finally split the ape into two. Yan Xia couldn't help but fell down in a daze and lost consciousness. Disappeared through the gap in the bronze door.

Outside the bronze door, a person said: "That thing has escaped."

One person replied: "This is doom, and there is nothing you and I can do."

The author has something to say:

Note: There is a fish with wings: "Shan Hai Jing" squid; there is a strange snake with two bodies, four wings and six legs: "Shan Hai Jing" fat left; a big eagle with horns on its head: "Shan Hai Jing" Gu carving ; White head and red feet, body like an ape: "Shan Hai Jing" Zhu Yan.Shen Du: "University"
