Chapter 398 Exit
After Chu Xunyu sent Duanmu and his group away, he sent a signal to summon Wangchen at the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, Wangchen arrived in less than a stick of incense, but he seemed very tired. It was probably because the poison of the Tang Sect's "Gardenia Blossom" had not been completely untied. After all, it was written by the Tang Sect. If there was no one from the Yaowang Mansion family to take action, it would be really difficult.
So after the three of them met, Chu Xunyu helped him detoxify, while joining Mu Yuan to tell Wang Chen about the past two days of birth. Wang Chen also sighed. He never thought that there had been so many thrilling disputes in the past few days. However, in terms of heart, Wang Chen still bluntly pointed out that Chu Xunyu was too rash in his actions, and the flower protector was extremely powerful, and it was a foolish move to anger him. Fortunately, the ghost thief finally went to his death. If it weren't for this, God knew what else would have been born.
Chu Xunyu and the other juniors accepted the criticism of their predecessors in disappointment, but Chu Xunyu carefully recorded the information of the flower protector and sent it back to their homes. This behavior puzzled everyone, so Chu Xunyu told them that this is how the classics in the Yaowang Mansion’s home came from, as the saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Every child of the Yaowang Mansion who went out to practice had the obligation to feed back the strange stories they saw on the road as information to the home, so that the classics in the family could collect the latest stories of the world at any time so that future generations could understand the outside.
In fact, Chu Xunyu has another purpose in doing this. It turns out that the information about the flower protector is only a legend at home. I remember that there are only a few messages. Now the information he went back has confirmed that he or they are real. Although he has not seen the true face of Mount Lu, he still hopes that his family can pay attention. After all, the power behind the brothel is too strong and mysterious. It is really a huge hidden danger to be able to control the existence of the flower protector.
After the matter at hand is over, everyone comes out again, and it is about to reach Jiayuguan. Once you leave Jiayuguan, it indicates that you have walked out of the Central Plains and stepped into the endless desert. This place is also called "Gobi Desert", which is Mongolian. There is only endless sin hidden behind the yellow sand in the sky.
At the same time, in the desert, it is another scene. At night, the desert is always very cold. Some people say that the desert during the day is a piece of roasted soil that will burn the raw meat. Some people say that the desert at night is a piece of cold color, which will make every inch of your skin feel cold and cold in your heart. Therefore, the desert is a place that is both fearful and unpredictable.
On the vast Gobi Desert, it was already night. You could see bonfires burning with barbecue on it. There was a gathering place for nomadic people, with dozens of camels and horses in place. From a distance, in the middle of the tent, twenty or thirty people sat around several bonfires, talking and laughing, and having a happy scene.
"Dad Laxhin, let's tell us stories..." A group of children surrounded a burly old man with a beard in the middle. It seemed that he was the leader of this small tribe.
"Okay, okay!" Dad Lakshen smiled gently, took a deep breath of the cigarette pipe in his hand, and said slowly, "A long time ago, this was a fertile land, with birds flying freely and horses running freely, and there was a happy young man..."
"We don't want to listen to this!" All the children said almost in unison, "We have heard it many times, knowing that this is your previous story, and we want to listen to something fresh."
"Fresh?" Dad Lakshen shook his head with a wry smile, and had to say, "Then let me tell you a myth, but, kids, are you scared at night?"
"No, we are not afraid!" The children were extremely excited.
"Okay, okay." Dad Laxhin slowly spoke, "A long time ago, there was a devil living in the desert here. He always liked to come out at night to plunder people's cattle, sheep and horses, which made people very distressed. So someone came up with a solution. Every night, everyone took turns on duty, holding weapons, and squatting at the door, hoping to see its arrival and drive it away in time, but there was nothing at night, and the cattle, sheep and horses were still decreasing every day, which scared everyone and didn't know what to do."
"What should I do?" a child asked curiously.
"Haha, don't worry." Dad Lakshin continued with a smile, "Finally one day, a careful girl found a problem. It turned out that when she brought cattle, sheep and horses back to the ring every evening, there was always one more than when she went out in the morning. The devil could actually change into the cattle, sheep and horses, mixing in it, so that she could eat them secretly."
"Ah! So awesome!" All the children were surprised, "What should I do? Have you driven it away?"
"Haha, that's of course, our people are brave, in us..."
"Look! What is that?" Before Dad Lakshin finished speaking, he heard a young woman beside him pointing to the distance and shouting.
Everyone looked sideways and saw that in the endless darkness, a white horse galloped over the yin yellow sand. The horse's hooves were flying, bringing waves of sand and heading straight for this gathering point. Everyone looked excitedly because they believed that this was God's will and a symbol of their full food and clothing.
The white horse was getting closer and closer. When people approached, they found that they were covered in wounds and some blood was oozing out. Everyone felt sympathy at the same time and prepared to take out the medicine to treat the injured horse.
Unexpectedly, there was a muffled sound, and the white horse instantly turned into a naked man in the Central Plains. He was unstable and fell into the yellow sand on the ground, covered in blood. He raised his head and said with difficulty: "Save me..."
"Oh!" The crowd was in an uproar, and the children panicked and shouted at Dad Laxhin, "Devil, Dad Laxhin, he is the devil you just mentioned."
Dad Laxhin was also stunned, because what he said just now was just a story...
At the market near Jiayuguan, Mu Yuan pulled Chu Xunyu excitedly and shouted: "Hey! Wild man, look, the horses here are so tall, and there are two big bags on their backs!"
"Don't embarrass you." Chu Xunyu shook his head, "That's called camel, it's an animal walking in the desert."
"How much does this cost?" Mu Yuan stood by a small stall, looking at the camel milk on the stall, and was very curious. He bought a cup, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
"Puchi..." It spit out on the spot. Mu Yuan looked at the cup in her hand and said in disbelief: "You usually drink this? I really sympathize with you."
Chu Xunyu smiled helplessly and stood aside, bought a lot of roasted lamb on the roadside, and said to Wangchen beside him: "Senior, come and try it, it tastes good."
Wang Chen nodded. He hadn't eaten it for many years. Suddenly, he felt something and looked around strangely. Chu Xunyu asked, "What's wrong?"
