With Pu Yue guiding the way, the Desolate tribe traveling to the northwest will not pose much of a threat. The only thing they have to be careful about is the evil human cultivators with evil intentions on the way. The reason why Pu Yue wants to invite Zhao Shun to accompany him is because he is afraid of his own strength. Unfortunately, he was intercepted and killed on the way and lost his life.
From what she said, she sneaked out of her home and met a team exploring the wilderness on the way. They promised to refine elixirs for them, and then they were allowed to accompany them and took her all the way outside. Later, she was supposed to take a boat to Sanzhou to see. Look, but I didn't expect to encounter a black robber, and was finally rescued by Zhao Shun. Now I didn't have much money left, so I had to go home.
The two of them didn't stay in the settlement for long before they set off on the road.
Pu Yue was still building the foundation and could not fly in the air with Zhao Chun. Moreover, she needed the royal family's secret treasure to guide the way, so Zhao Chun could not use the Xiu Li Qian Kun technique to store it in his sleeve, so he took out the Gui Sword. She rose up with her sword and let Pu Yue follow her, which was much faster than walking in the sand.
The weapon refining techniques in the wilderness are relatively crude, and they are not inherited like the sects in the three states. Even the most ordinary weapon refining masters take the skills in their hands very seriously and refuse to spread them to others. They use them as a stepping stone to enter major forces and are treated as honored guests. This is also one of the main reasons why the wilderness elixir magic weapon is extremely scarce.
For this reason, even though Pu Yue was born in a big family in Zhao Shun's heart, it is rare to see flying magic weapons used by monks from the Three Prefectures, such as Tianzhou, soaring in the sky, like giant monsters created by gods. , in her eyes it is even more mysterious and magical.
In the past, when the elders took her with them, they would just put her in their sleeves, and their eyes would go dark and they could not see anything. Now standing in the air, I can't help but feel that my mind is clear and my heart is particularly open. What the ancient monks said, "When you rise in the wind, you can see far away and think clearly", this is nothing more than this!
The two of them were still on the outskirts of the wilderness. Pu Yue was leaning behind Zhao Shun, pointing her finger in the distance to guide her. After a few days passed, the human settlements under their feet began to become sparse and gradually disappeared, turning into a place covered by endless yellow sand. Pu Yue Then he softly shouted: "Sister, look, after passing the tree god, we have entered the wilderness!"
Zhao Shun didn't even need to look carefully. The huge banyan tree burst into view like a storm, attracting the attention of all the monks who passed by. In the vast sky and earth, the sand haze dyed the sky and the earth into the same color, and it was the only green among them. The crown of the tree is grand and full of vitality, reaching straight towards the dome. The branches are thick and gnarled. At a rough look, it is impossible to estimate how many people can hug it.
There are countless thick and thin branches stretching out in all directions, all wrapped with green and tender long vines. The morning dew condensed in the morning shines on them, making the entire banyan tree exude a divine light that transcends the world, and is an endless silence. The flourishing of life.
"Since the birth of the wilderness, tree gods have grown here and protected the creatures in the wilderness as their subjects. They all say that it is because of the existence of the tree gods that people from other places dare not enter the wilderness wildly, otherwise they will attract chaos. The tree god was furious and took action to kill him." Pu Yue happily told this story to Zhao Shun, showing special respect and gratitude to the tree god.
Zhao Shun remained silent, only nodded solemnly, and passed with his sword under the canopy of trees that almost blocked out the skylight. He sighed as he recalled the records of the wild tree gods in Boyen Tower.
The tree god is actually a celestial demon whose strength is comparable to that of an immortal. When he was born, he absorbed the spiritual energy of this world. As a result, there was no spiritual energy in the wilderness and no living beings were born until the celestial demon grew up and needed the irrigation of living energy. , and then he came up with his unique inspiration, which made the wilderness grow.
The wilderness has been caged in the yellow sand since its birth, which is not unrelated to the fact that it is deeply rooted in the ground and steals the vitality of water and air.
As for resisting the invasion of outside creatures and protecting its people, it is just because it is afraid that humans and evil spirits will come in and take away the destiny of heaven and earth for its growth.
To feed on the common people and gain their love and worship is a very clever act for the tree god.
Zhao Shun did not tell Pu Yue this because the tree god had long been a belief in this world and would not be changed by her words. Speaking rashly would only make people unhappy. What's more, her belief will collapse and her inner demons will invade. This is an evil deed that destroys humanity, and she certainly shouldn't do this.
After the two of them passed the tree god, even if they entered the wilderness, the threat of wind and sand began to appear.
Seeing that the time had come, Pu Yue turned her palm up, and a wild goose fish lantern appeared in her hand. It was gray and white, about the size of an adult man's head, and looked like a wild goose standing back with a fish in its mouth. The wild goose had a slender neck and a wide and fat body. As the bottom of the lamp, a fat fish is held in the mouth. The fish body is the lampshade, which can be removed. The tail of the wild goose extends out of the lamp handle for people to hold.
At this time, I don't know what kind of candle is burning in the lamp. It is not disturbed by the wind. The bright flame stands straight. The lamp oil gathers at the end of the candle to form a small pool of oil. It is crystal moist and translucent. No matter how long it has been burning, the candle does not become dwarfed. .
Pu Yue said: "This is the secret treasure of my family, called Changming. The candle inside is made by..." She paused, as if she had said something wrong, "It was made by a very powerful elder in the family. Use the best elixir to squeeze out the oil, which will not be extinguished by the wind, will not be corroded by the sand, and will burn for three hundred years."
"The elder spent many years of painstaking research and development before he came up with this spiritual candle recipe. When it burns, a faint medicinal fragrance emerges. It is the smell that the Desolate tribe is most afraid of. If you smell it, you will not dare to approach it. With this thing, we can rest assured Travel.”
"The ever-burning lamp distinguishes wind and sand and drives away foreign enemies. My sisters and brothers all say that with its guidance, we will never get lost in the wilderness. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, the direction pointed by the lamp is home."
She held Zhao Shun in her arms with one hand and held the lamp handle with the other. When she talked about this, the light in her eyes was even more pious and peaceful than when she talked about the tree god. The wind and sand rolled over her temples and forehead. Even though I have lost my temper, my desire to go home is as unwavering as the flame of an ever-burning lamp, unstoppable.
The sand and dust became thicker and thicker. Zhao Shun protected Pu Yue and walked towards the direction with the brightest lights. It was already dusk and the sun was setting. It was difficult to tell who was hugging whom in the dusk of the sunset and the vast dust. All he knew was that both were getting more and more intense. dark.
The night of the wild sand sea has arrived.
"Sister, did you hear it?" Pu Yue leaned behind her and pressed her face tightly against Zhao Shun's back. In the dark night, several sharper howls came from below, extremely Terrified and frightened.
"Is this...a camel beast?" Apart from this, there are no other creatures in the sea of sand.
"They are cubs that were separated during migration. They have not yet been able to withstand the wind and sand. Without the care of their parents, they can only starve to death in the wilderness." As if to confirm Pu Yue's words, the cubs screamed louder and louder. It is becoming more miserable and weaker.
Suddenly, a deeper chirping sound appeared in the distance, together with the sound of heavy hooves stepping on the windy sand.
"The parents of the cub are here!" Pu Yue raised her head and said happily, "The camel beast will never give up on its children. Even if the group is unwilling to stop and wait, its parents will take the initiative to come back and find them. it!"
However, her smile soon turned serious, because the sound of the heavy hooves almost shook the earth, and it was definitely not something that one or two camel beasts could make.
"Sister! Land quickly!"
Pu Yue didn't say anything, Zhao Shun was also ready to put away his sword and whereabouts.
The sword in the fourth realm is so powerful, but even so, the sword begins to become unstable, which shows how strong the wind is at this time.
While falling, she heard Pu Yue's deep voice:
"The storm is coming."
