The northern starry sky can be regarded as Cao Zhe's 'base camp'.
Covered by the stars and covered by everything, a city that Cao Zhe had 'run' long ago stood on the desert Gobi a few years ago, connecting the vast desert in the north with the bustling life in the south.
Many people have visited this city and call it a miracle flower blooming in the Gobi.
Although there are all three religions and nine streams here, there is an indescribable 'peace' there.
But it is very exclusive, and it seems difficult to accept outsiders to settle here.
The permanent population only remains at more than 10,000.
Such a small border town has sprouted various wonderful gestures of life in the barren desert.
The atmosphere is full of life.
Deng Xiaonian was abducted here a year ago by human traffickers and rescued by a scar-faced uncle who sold meat.
After that, Deng Xiaonian stayed in this wild city in the desert, running errands for gamblers in some casinos to earn some money.
Although he lived in poverty, Deng Xiaonian felt very happy.
He never thought about returning to his homeland, the country called 'Song'.
His mother has remarried, and his father died in a banditry four years ago. He has no relatives to take care of him. Instead, the villagers have made things difficult for him because of his family's meager income.
Even when he was abducted, it was actually premeditated.
The evil in his hometown made Deng Xiaonian have no sense of belonging. On the contrary, this small town was full of the hustle and bustle of life, which made Deng Xiaonian like it very much.
His biggest wish now is to save money to buy a small courtyard before he turns eighteen, and then ask Uncle Manzi to take him to the barren tribe, pick a daughter-in-law, take root in this city, and start a family.
Squatting beside the mound at the city gate, Deng Xiaonian waited as usual for the horse bandits who had robbed the caravan, took the divided money, walked through the smoke and dust to the small town, and then went straight to the tavern and casino.
And as long as he helps with some small things, he can get a fairly considerable reward.
Although these horse bandits kill without blinking an eye, they are very honest in the small town and never mess around.
In addition to the fact that they also need a stable place to sell stolen goods, as well as a place to buy supplies and have fun, it is also because there are some masters hidden in this small town.
For example, the scar-faced uncle who saved Deng Xiaonian was a swordsman with excellent swordsmanship.
Although I don’t know what kind of past he has, he lives here in seclusion and makes a living by selling various kinds of meat, sometimes wolf meat from the desert, and sometimes some blue sheep, camel, cow and horse meat.
Deng Xiaonian originally wanted to become a disciple of Uncle Scarface, but Uncle Scarface refused.
It just means that he is not qualified to teach disciples. If Deng Xiaonian really wants to learn martial arts, he should go all the way south to Shiwanyao Mountain to find the source of martial arts.
Today, Deng Xiaonian did not wait for the horse bandits.
There is only one person waiting!
A man who clearly looked like a monk in his dress and grooming, but yet made Deng Xiaonian feel that he was even more sinister than the leader of the horse bandits.
Before he got close to the other party, Deng Xiaonian felt a breath coming towards his face, making him feel cold all over and making it difficult to breathe.
The man glanced at Deng Xiaonian, then ignored him and stepped past him.
Deng Xiaonian instinctively felt something was wrong and wanted to run back and tell Uncle Scarface, tell Uncle Manzi, tell the old blind man in the tavern, and tell the beautiful Jiao Erniang who ran the inn.
But he couldn't move, his body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't obey his orders at all.
After a while, Deng Xiaonian seemed to hear scolding and roaring coming from the city.
Those were the voices of Uncle Scarface and Uncle Barbarian.
He had never heard them roar like this.
There was clearly fear in his voice.
After a while, there was another burst of fighting.
The entire city was shaking violently, and the stones that fell from the top of the city hit Deng Xiaonian's side, almost hitting his head.
After that, the sound of fighting stopped.
The person who walked in before walked out again.
He still didn't look at Deng Xiaonian, but walked straight south.
There was still thick blood under his feet, and Deng Xiaonian's eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the distant footsteps.
The sun is very strong and very poisonous.
But such a strong sun could not completely dispel the coldness on Deng Xiaonian's body.
He could finally move his fingers and ankles, and using all his strength, he crawled towards the door.
Before he reached the city gate, he smelled the extremely strong smell of blood.
He was suddenly afraid, afraid to open the door and see the picture in his imagination.
But Deng Xiaonian still worked hard and opened the door.
Looking up... the originally vibrant town has been completely dyed in blood.
Everything he could see was scarlet.
The scar-faced uncle was being cut into two pieces and fell in the middle of the road. Uncle Manzi's head was hanging on the eaves nearby, his eyes widened and he was glaring at something.
Jiao Erniang's body seemed to have been forcibly pulled into several pieces and thrown into the corner. Her snow-white skin looked particularly dark at this time.
"Everyone...everyone...!" Deng Xiaonian trembled, wanting to roar and cry loudly, but he also had to admit that he felt scared.
He feared that the cries and shouts would draw the man back and kill him in the same way.
After another two hours, the sound of galloping horses came.
The horse bandits came, and they found Deng Xiaonian fainting at the gate of the city. They also saw the tragic situation in the entire small town.
Seven days later, the news spread throughout the Song and Chu countries. The miracle city located in the northern Gobi was massacred by the demon king Xiao Ting.
There were more than 6,000 people in the city, and only one person was left alive.
As soon as the news came out, people all over the world were panicked.
Xiao Ting killed Lingshan, which was something far away from the human world.
But he slaughtered an entire city, which for many people was an imminent crisis.
At this time, there were already many calls, shouting for the master to come out and slay the demons!
At this time, everyone in the world, good and evil, united and began to search for Xiao Ting's whereabouts.
One month after the massacre.
The White Lotus Sect and Wenxiang Sect, together with some martial arts cultivators who had rebelled from Martial Arts Mountain, blocked Xiao Ting at Yanmen Pass.
The White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect jointly invited Xiao Ting to become their "leader" to discuss the plan to overthrow Da Chu and even overthrow the Martial Arts Mountain.
It was obviously the idea to push Xiao Ting to the front to fight against the master, while they took advantage from behind.
Of course, because of the White Lotus Sect and Wenxiang Sect, they already lost their original leader, and now they are fighting for the position of leader, and civil strife continues.
We do need a thick thigh that is strong enough to stabilize people's hearts.
Xiao Ting heard the words and mocked him, and then fought with many evil masters.
This battle was extremely brutal.
After the war, Xiao Ting was unscathed, but the White Lotus Sect and Wenxiang Sect lost a total of five dharma-height practitioners, nearly ten true cultivators who had achieved immortality, and the remaining core sect members numbered over a hundred.
It was also after this battle that there were rumors in the world that Xiao Ting was a butcher knife deliberately crafted by the Master.
The purpose is to kill everyone in the world who disobeys and is not inferior to him.
At the same time, taking advantage of the general trend, the voice of wanting to coerce the master and go down the mountain to slay the demons rose again and became more intense.
Soon after, news came out that Xiao Ting had entered the Song Dynasty and had a conflict with the Song Dynasty Demon Hunting Department.
The three top gold-medal catchers in the Monster Hunting Division all died.
People are even more frightened, and the call for Master to come out has reached a fever pitch.
