[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Destiny Green Book

Turning around the sand dunes, Song Qingshu, Ye Gucheng, and Jin Mantang saw Duan Yu again almost immediately.

At this time, he had got off the camel and was squatting on the sand, as if talking to someone in a low voice.

But the people he was talking to were two people who made one's heart tremble just by looking at them.

No, maybe they don't even look like "human beings" anymore.

The two were nailed naked on the sand, with cowhide tied to their wrists, ankles and faces.

Cowhide is soft when it is wet with water, but as it is continuously exposed to the sun, the water evaporates a little bit, and the cowhide will become harder and tighter as it dries. .

In the end, it was directly embedded into the flesh and blood of the two people, leaving frightening scars.

And being exposed to the strong sunlight of the desert for a long time, the skin of the two people's whole body was tanned and their lips were dry and cracked.

But the most terrifying thing was the eyes of the two of them.

Their eyes are half-opened and half-closed, but the black and white of the eyes are already indistinguishable. They look like two small gray holes, turning back and forth following the sound, trying to focus on the source of the sound. Terrified.

Jin Mantang shuddered subconsciously.

Even though it was noon in the desert, when the sun was the strongest, he felt a strange coldness spreading from the bottom of his heart, quickly spreading to his limbs and bones...

"Master Duan! This, this is..."

While observing the two subconsciously, the three also drove the camel to Duan Yu's side.

Song Qingshu and Ye Gucheng's willingness to follow him to pursue Duan Yu was already the best result Jin Mantang could expect. At this moment, he dared not expect these two cold-tempered knights to take the initiative to speak out, so he consciously first ask.

Hearing the sound, Duan Yu turned his face back, that handsome face who was always smiling and overly optimistic all day long, and even looked a little heartless at times, now had an expression of compassion and pity that couldn't be more clear.

"Team leader Jin." He said in a heavy tone, "These two seem to be travelers walking in the desert together. They said that they encountered sand robbers halfway. Not only were they robbed of their belongings, food, water, camels, Stealing 丨 naked clothes and throwing them directly in this desert! Now they can't see their eyes, and they can't even speak clearly. If they are left alone, they may die soon. Look..."

Before the words fell, the meaningless groaning sounds of the two who had been uttering miserable groans intermittently also changed accordingly.

If you distinguish carefully, you can hear the vague sound of longing for "water, water...".

Jin Mantang looked at the two men who looked miserable, and then at Duan Yu who was showing impatience and pleading. Under the eyes full of disappointment and disbelief, he said in a harsh voice:

"Sorry, Mr. Duan. The caravan cannot rescue them."

Duan Yu opened his mouth, but to Jin Mantang's surprise, he didn't argue hard with Jin Mantang, or Xiaozhi moved him with emotion.

It's even more useless to accuse Jin Mantang of being cold-blooded and ruthless

Duan Yu is a young man with excellent tutoring. Although he is a little familiar with himself and has a lot of unreasonable affection for people with outstanding looks, he is not an annoying person.

And although he is kind-hearted, he is not the kind of person who is irrational and kind-hearted.

Knowing that since Jin Mantang categorically rejected his request, there must be a reason for him to do so, Duan Yu was silent for a moment, took out a silk scarf from his bosom and walked to the camel he was riding on, opened the water bag and carefully put the After soaking in the water, he returned to the two people, gently wiped their chapped lips, and gently persuaded the two to slowly suck the water droplets in the silk scarf.

There was a moment of intolerance and hesitation on Jin Mantang's face, but in the end, he just watched Duan Yu tear the silk scarf into two halves, put them lightly on the mouths of the two, and turned around with a look of guilt and compassion on his face. look……

"Master Duan..." His tone was hesitant.

Duan Yu remained silent.

Although he is simple-minded, he is not stupid. He got rid of the guards around him and followed Jin Mantang's caravan all the way across the desert. From the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, he encountered various things on the way, and his temper became a result of it. I have become a lot calmer, at least I will not act rashly based on enthusiasm and kind thoughts in my heart.

He gave a low sigh.

"I know Team Leader Jin has his own reasons for making such a decision. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. It's just..."

However, knowing that the small piece of silk handkerchief he left and the little bit of water vapor on it can not change anything other than slightly relieving the dryness in the throats of the two people, and it may even be After giving them the hope of being rescued, he cruelly snuffed it out with his own hands...

However, even if it was just a futile effort, even if it might be regarded as hypocrisy, Duan Yu still wanted to do it.

It has nothing to do with other people's evaluation, just ask yourself to be worthy of your heart.

Jin Mantang heard the unfinished meaning in his words, and his heart was suddenly shaken.

Originally, he only regarded Duan Yu as a naive and ignorant person who might cause trouble for himself and the caravan at any time, but because of his status and status, he couldn't get rid of him, and he could only protect and take care of him carefully. The troublesome young master didn't expect the other party to have such feelings, and the kindness of the heart that many people in the caravan fell in love with was definitely not an act...

All of a sudden, my mood couldn't help being very complicated.

As for Duan Yu's performance this time, Song Qingshu was quite surprised.

"It was previously said that he has a strong aura that is almost comparable to that of Wuji, because he has a dragon aura. Although it is not as strong as the aura of the little emperor of Jin, it is better than many monarchs of small countries. The master's own luck has brought a lot of blessings from the country."

"But now it seems that the reason is not that simple."

Song Qingshu and Ye Gucheng beside him secretly transmitted voices.

"Perhaps after my junior brother, we met another 'son of luck'. It's not certain."

At the same time, I have some doubts

Could it be that there is really something special about this small world?

Otherwise, how could a son of luck like Zhang Wuji meet two of them so easily?

And speaking of it, the four-browed Lu Xiaofeng I met in the Jin country in the past, although his luck was a little weird, half good luck and half bad luck were closely intertwined with each other. Zhang Wuji and Duan Yu are on the same level.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that there are a lot of weird things in it.

Could it be that the senior brother chose this place as his reincarnation place because he aimed at this point?

Song Qingshu couldn't say anything about it for a while.

Ye Gucheng didn't care much about luck.

After all, Song Qingshu is a cultivator who transformed himself into a monk, reincarnated and recultivated. His soul is still there, his realm has not been knocked down, and his spiritual sense, vision and experience are all there. Naturally, he can see a lot of things just by looking around.

Ye Gucheng was only at the Qi refining stage.

Although he is very gifted and comprehensible, he really lives up to Song Qingshu's expectations, and he is very compatible with the way of sword cultivation, so the progress of his practice can be said to be rapid, and he also has the spirit peach that Song Qingshu gave before. The effects of the two superimpose each other. It is expected that the foundation will be established soon, and the realm will be further advanced.

But Ye Gucheng's eyesight is not as good as Song Qingshu's now, and he can't see what the so-called luck Jinyun looks like. Listening to Song Qingshu's description, it seems that luck is several times better than ordinary people. To Ye Gucheng, he believes that strength comes from himself. For a person who has a lot of blessings without his own efforts and will not be transformed into any practical meaning, the concept of luck is too illusory. Perhaps until he witnesses with his own eyes how earth-shattering changes and success it can bring to a person, he Don't take this kind of thing too seriously.

Song Qingshu was not in a hurry to "correct" his mentality.

As I said before, he also knew some monks who entered the Tao through martial arts and "ascended" to the world of cultivation after breaking through the void.

In the face of the changes in various concepts that follow, no matter how powerful a martial arts master is, even if he is unrestrained and has a high receptivity, he needs to adapt slowly, change his concepts to cater to the new changes, Transition period for the new road ahead.

What is needed at this time is not to force them to accept it forcefully, but to allow them to experience the differences and changes by themselves.

And Song Qingshu believed that when Ye Gucheng stepped over the gate by himself and changed his mentality from "sword wielder" to "sword repairer", on that day, he could truly be called a swordsman.

Otherwise, it is just a simple swordsman.

It's no different than before.

While Song Qingshu was thinking, he saw that Duan Yu and Jin Mantang had both remounted their camels and were slowly coming towards him and Ye Gucheng.

Behind them, it seemed that they knew that they would be abandoned, and the moaning became more and more urgent in the mouths of the two dying travelers.

"Save...Save..."

They moaned.

Duan Yu made up his mind and didn't look back.

But the expression on his face was very struggling and unbearable, and he looked really pitiful.

Jin Mantang also lost the kind smile that was always on his lips.

Although he is a successful businessman, his nature is not bad.

He loves money but is not greedy, and has his own set of rules for doing things.

In the desert, everyone is in danger and may lose his life because of it. If he meets such a person on weekdays, Jin Mantang himself will help him without others asking.

But today is an exception.

The four of them rode camels, and with the increasingly miserable wailing behind them, they headed back in the direction of the caravan.

It wasn't until after walking a long way and rounding the previous sand dune that the wailing sound behind him could hardly be heard anymore, Jin Mantang sighed heavily and said:

"Mr. Duan, you two knights, what happened today... is really not that I don't want to save people, but... that I can't."

Song Qingshu and Ye Gucheng didn't have any special reaction when they heard the words, but Duan Yu frowned slightly, quite puzzled:

"Impossible? Why did Team Leader Jin say that? Could it be that someone is stopping you from saving someone?"

He just said it casually, but Jin Mantang nodded, agreeing with what he said!

Jin Mantang smiled wryly and said: "Young Master Duan's words are correct, it's just that someone forbids me to save those two people."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Duan Yu to ask, he said again:

"You guys don't often walk in this desert, so it's not surprising that you haven't heard the rumors. But for someone like me who walks in the desert all year round, there are many customary rules that only circulate in this desert. and legends, but you have to know and obey.”

"One of them is that Lu Yu bound his hands, feet and face with cowhide, and was deliberately placed under the scorching sun with the intention of causing him to die in the sun. No matter what force or team he belongs to, he is not allowed to rescue the person. Otherwise, he will die. Offended 'that' and drew her revenge."

"'That'?" Duan Yu asked doubtfully.

Jin Mantang shuddered suddenly.

"Well, it's 'that'." His tone suddenly became a little erratic, and so did the expression on his face, "No one knows who she is, and no one knows her name and appearance."

"But she does exist here."

"In this desert that connects Song, Yuan and Fang."

"legend"

"She is the real master of this desert."

Jin Mantang said word by word.
