"The sky is blue."

"Wild and vast."

"Windswept Ridge Mountain Grazing Cows and Sheep."

"Cows and sheep...cows and sheep..." The little girl lying in the big yellow dog's carrier was slightly squinted by the sunlight. She stretched out a finger of her immature little hand and stuffed it into her mouth, while the other one pulled the big yellow dog softly.

With fluffy hair, she tilted her head towards the rolling and majestic Broken Ridge Mountains with a thoughtful expression, as if praying to the mountains to give her wisdom so that she could recite the "extremely difficult" ballad.

It's still early spring, and on the edge of Broken Ridge Mountain, the tender green grass buds have grown several inches high, barely able to cover the horses' hooves. The sheep are bleating, mixed with the crisp ringing of the bells on their necks, as if accompanied by the floating

The breeze brings with it the fragrance of green grass.

"What about cattle and sheep?" A burly man pulled on his old fur coat and gently waved his whip to drive the sheep away, while lovingly asking the child riding on the shepherd dog beside him.

"Cows, sheep and horses are fat..." the little girl raised her head and looked at the man with her big dark eyes and replied.

The man couldn't help laughing, he let out a hearty laugh, caressed the little girl's red face with his big hand, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, melon seeds are cattle, sheep and horses, fat and strong!"

"Cows, sheep and horses... are fat and strong." The little girl repeated it half-understood, her tender and crisp voice carried far away by the breeze, adding infinite vitality to the grassland.

The man dotingly stretched out his hand, rubbed the fox fur hat on the little girl's head a few times, leaned down with a smile, ignored the little guy's resistance, and rubbed the back of the little girl's neck with his bearded chin, provoking her.

The little girl was like a little quail that tightened its neck, trying desperately to hide from the man's rough face.

"Don't make the wrong mistake again! Otherwise, the big monster behind Broken Ridge Mountain will come out and bite Nini's little butt." The shepherd man scratched his daughter's little nose and said with a smile.

"I know, Dad." The little girl said seriously.

The shepherd man was obviously very satisfied with his daughter's performance. He gave a loud crack of the whip and while driving the scattered sheep forward, he said: "Okay, Nini, be good, read another one to Dad."

"The sky is blue and the fields are vast..." I don't know if it was due to the downhill slope, but the sheep were a little restless. The big yellow dog that had been staying beside the man suddenly let out a low whine.

The man immediately looked around alertly.

Surrounded by open plains, you can see for miles at a glance, and the shallow new grass cannot hide any animals at all.

Just when the man confirmed that there was no danger, the big yellow dog suddenly started barking desperately, and the sheep became even more uneasy.

The man frowned and scolded: "Dahuang, don't bark!"

Dahuang, who was usually extremely obedient, anxiously circled the man and yelled at him crazily. The little girl sitting in the basket on Dahuang's back suddenly burst into tears.

The man angrily picked up the whip, tapped Da Huang on the head and said: "You scared the child!" Then he reached out and took the child out and said: "Nini, be good, don't scare me, dad is here."

Woolen cloth!"

"Abba, Nini recited it correctly, why...why...why, the big monsters are coming to bite me?"

"Where is the big monster? Abba lied to you..."

"Abba..." Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the little girl. While sobbing, she stretched out a finger to point behind the man.

Thinking of Dahuang's abnormality, the rough man's hand subconsciously touched the handle of the knife, and then turned his head to look.

The man turned his head, his pupils suddenly shrank, and panic and disbelief instantly filled his rough face.

A line of Broken Ridge Mountains stretches from north to south for an unknown distance, and a vast flying cloud rises. The cloud moves extremely fast! One moment, it feels like it is on the horizon, and the next moment it is in front of the man!

"Aww-" As a roar like thunder came, the demonic beast that covered the sky and sun flew over the man's head.

There are three giant birds with tail feathers trailing from their heads, there are strange insects that emit fire and sound like babies crying, and there is even a flying dragon that can cover the entire grassland with the sun with just its body!

The noises from the monsters' mouths and the sounds of flapping their wings were mixed together to indicate one thing: the ancient monsters had broken the agreement made thousands of years ago to never step into the strong ranks, and a beast wave broke out.

!

At such a fast speed, these ferocious beasts flew for half a minute before they completely passed over the man's head.

It wasn't until the terrifying dark cloud completely disappeared from the sky that the man sat down on the ground with his daughter in his arms, stared at the direction of the beasts' flight, and murmured: "Zhenjiang Mansion, it's gone..."

Compared with what happened in Broken Ridge Mountain, which is full of vitality, the desperate wasteland at this time is a different scene.

"Suck." In the uninhabited wasteland, a tall man wearing a sable fur sat on a wicker chair, holding a small dish of mustard in one hand and holding a pair of thousand-year-old peach wood in the other hand.

Using chopsticks, he quickly scooped up large oysters piece by piece in the pot and stuffed them into his mouth in front of a small lake.

An old man in old clothes next to him was so busy that he was sweating, but his hands skillfully lifted the soft and fragrant oyster meat out of the shell one by one, and put it into the pot of boiling milky white soup.

The two have a clear division of labor and work together seamlessly.

As soon as the oyster fell into the pot and rolled under the boiling soup, a pair of chopsticks picked it up accurately, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into the mouth.

This action was repeated until all the fifty or sixty large palm-sized oysters on the ground turned into empty shells. The man in the sable coat seemed to have endless aftertaste, narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, and lay down on the ground.

On a wicker chair.

The old man in old clothes took the small dish with ingredients, then took out a piece of snow-white brocade handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the tall man's hand. The man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly wiped off the water stuck to his beard with the brocade handkerchief.

Zhuhe soup, criticized: "The soup is a bit bland, and the only seasoning in the mustard - drunken dragon incense - should not be the top quality that has been around for thousands of years, and it was a waste of my good pot of oysters.

.”

Hearing the tall man's comment, the old man reached out and took a sip from a bowl of soup with a spoon. He frowned and said, "There is something wrong with the taste, but that doesn't make sense. The students all added the seasonings blindly.

The Drunken Dragon Incense is also a treasure left over from last time, so there’s no reason why it tastes bad?”

Hearing the old man's explanation, the tall man was stunned and said, "Since the seasoning is still the best seasoning and the steps are the same as last time, what has changed is not the taste of the seasoning, but the people's hearts."

The expression on the old man's face froze, and he sighed with a slight dejection: "What the teacher said is that the student remembers coming here twenty years ago. The student was traveling with the teacher. The junior sister was there at that time, but now

She has become the queen of the country, and coming to this barren land again is no longer just for fun."

"After you said that, I really miss that girl Xiaoxiao. I don't know if she can get used to living in the palace. That girl is wild by nature. Although the palace is not small, she is probably as good as being in a cage.

It's pretty much the same inside, and I think this girl might go crazy after staying in the palace for so many years."

Having said this, the tall man chuckled, as if recalling the memory of the crazy girl, he couldn't help but smacked his mouth, smiled and said to the old man: "Yan Lu, I remember that you were still in your prime at that time, and your beard had just grown.

A layer of fluff comes out.”

Hearing what the Master said, Yan Lu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and scratched his beard, muttering to himself: "Yes, it's been so long!" After speaking, Yan Lu suddenly raised his head, looked at the Master seriously and said:

"Teacher, let's investigate quickly! I'm a little homesick."

"A gentleman should have his ambitions in all directions and take the country and the country as his own responsibility. How can he say such weak words?" The master lectured with an unpleasant look on his face.

Yan Lu did not feel ashamed because of the Master's lesson. Instead, he did some calculations with his fingers, then looked at the Master sincerely and said, "Counting the days, the big spotted pig raised by the Seventh Junior Brother with the elixir will have three or four years."

Already..."

The master snorted coldly, interrupted and said: "Asshole, does my master look like the kind of person who is greedy for food and drink?"

Yan Lu rolled his eyes in his heart, and replied in his heart: "If not, who would have the leisure to cross the Eternal Great Wall, travel thousands of miles to this barren land, and spend three months to wipe out the entire desperate wasteland?"

Collect them all and have a big meal?"

Although he thought so in his heart, he began to prepare another set of words. Before he could speak, the originally lazy master suddenly sat up straight and looked into the distance.

Yan Lu followed the master's gaze and looked doubtfully, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. There was still endless barrenness and desolation in the distance, and the gray sky had no color. These were no different from usual days!

The reason why the Despair Wasteland is despairing is that it is so big and vast. Standing on the Despair Wasteland is as if you are drifting in the sea. It is endless and uninhabited, and you can't help but feel the emotion of despair in your heart.

"Teacher?" Yan Lu called the middle-aged man in a low voice.

The master who was disturbed stretched out a palm as big as a clay pot and blocked Yan Lu's mouth, indicating that he should continue to look forward.

Yan Lu didn't understand what the teacher meant, but he knew that what the teacher did had his own reasons. The reason why he didn't understand and couldn't understand was because he had not reached the level of the teacher and could not see the true face of heaven and earth. So.

, the only thing he could do was to listen to the teacher and look hard into the distance, although there was only endless desolation and a gloomy gray sky in the distance...

As time passed by, Yan Lu became a little blurry. Staring at one place for a long time always made him feel uncomfortable. Just when he was about to give up, the world in front of him gradually changed!

It was a slight breeze that brushed his beard. Yan Lu thought it was an illusion, because there could be no wind in the Despair Wasteland, and everything here should be still. But the wind came, and it became more and more obvious!

His beard was fluttering, his wife's beard was fluttering, and even the down on the sable fur was swaying.

Yan Lu's eyes changed and gradually turned purple. This was all the spiritual power he could use!

Under the influence of spiritual power, the world changed.

The endless, gray sky in the distance seems to be hitting a wave!

This wave is not big, far less exciting than the huge waves hitting the rocks on the beach, but it is more shocking than the huge waves!

This is a wave composed of the vitality of heaven and earth. It symbolizes not only the fluctuation of the elements, but also the rise of the vitality of heaven and earth, the arrival of power, and endless longevity! It also symbolizes more: death.

, there is a war... and there may be a dark night coming...

"The sky is about to change..." Yan Lu, who was immersed in his thoughts, was awakened by a long sigh.

At some point, the master had already stood up and told Yan Lu who had come to his senses: "Call back that beast Fugui'er. It's running around. If it is caught and eaten by the barbarians, I will not avenge it."

!”

Yan Lu looked at the Master in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Teacher?"

"Um?"

"Go back to the academy?" Yan Lu held back his smile and put his finger on the tip of his nose, humming like a spotted pig.
