After descending the mountain, the carriage drove all the way north.
When they passed through Jindi, they met the escort team going to the capital. Shi Xiaoliu entrusted the prepared baggage directly to the escort team.
As their group approached the North Land, the surroundings became increasingly desolate.
The sky is blue and the wilderness is vast. Shi Zelan is glad that he is now a practitioner.
If she were an ordinary person, she would probably not come to a place like this even if she was killed.
The oncoming wind and sand slid down the protective barrier, but Shi Xiaoliu blinked involuntarily.
“Let’s get off the carriage.”
In the carriage, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng spoke almost at the same time.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan jumped out of the carriage and turned around to see Master Decheng putting the carriage away.
The four of them walked quickly in the wilderness. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan ran forward quickly, but they still fell far behind Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.
"I didn't expect that the North Land was so desolate. I'm afraid the officials in the court have no use for their thoughts here."
"There are internal and external troubles. Even if they have the intention, they can only rush to solve the problems at hand. ”
The figures of their group quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
Three days later, Master Decheng and his party appeared in Shacheng after a long journey. They entered the city gate and paid the fee to enter the city.
I checked into the largest inn in Shacheng and rented the small courtyard of the inn directly.
When they were on their way, they met the escort team and heard them tell the legend about Shacheng.
Not far from Shacheng, it was a border town of a country in ancient times. However, many years later, that country disappeared overnight.
The lord of Shacheng at that time also led many people to search, but only found a desert.
The city lord died of illness shortly after his return, and some things about his homeland were sealed in the records of Shacheng.
After hearing the legend at that time, Master Decheng said to Master Shanzheng: "We don't need to lead them blindly forward. We also go to find the lost motherland."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were also somewhat interested in this lost motherland. What kind of disaster could make a country disappear overnight?
They stayed at the inn. Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng soon discovered that there was no Taoist temple or temple in this city.
They were very surprised and asked the owner of the inn: "We have traveled to many places, but you are the only one in Shacheng who has not seen Taoist temples and temples."
The owner laughed boldly and said: "We People in Shacheng would rather believe in their ancestors."
Zhenzheng Shanzheng asked curiously: "Does your city not welcome Taoist priests?"
The owner thought for a moment: "Taoist priests and monks probably won't come to our Shacheng.
Our Shacheng is short of water and food, there are very few outsiders, and there are not many guests like you who are prepared to stay for three days."
The host is actually very curious about Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, because they predict that miracles will happen only when they go to the North.
They took their two children all the way here on foot, and even when they reached Shacheng, they insisted on continuing to walk forward.
The host looked at the expressions on the faces of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng. These two people have come such a long way, and now they can no longer persuade them to look back.
After staying in the inn for three days, I had almost learned all the news.
When Decheng Zhenren and his party were leaving, the boss chased them out and said, "When you encounter a place with water on the road, be sure to prepare more water for drinking."
All the way. To the north, you can only see wind and sand, not any green.
Decheng Zhenren and his party drifted forward directly. Two days later, they arrived at the boundary of the legendary motherland.
What you see in front of you is desolation. Master Decheng and Master Shan Zheng had serious expressions on their faces. Shi Xiaoliu crushed a pill, and countless strange insects crawled out of the sand.
“Is there anything alive under the ground?”
Shi Zelan sighed while throwing down a purification talisman.
A flash of fire flashed, and the strange insect in front of them stopped.
The porcelain vase that Shi Xiaoliu had taken out was quickly stuffed back.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other. Master Decheng said: "Xiao Liu, Sister Lan, we are raiding the formation now. You don't need elixirs and talismans, just rely on your ability to fight these things."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded after hearing this. Shi Xiaoliu took out his sword. Wherever the sword light went, countless monster insects were killed.
Shi Zelan initially took the sword, but she soon replaced it with a brick.
After she smashed countless monster insects with bricks, she changed to a sword.
Wherever the brother and sister's swords slashed, the strange insects were wiped out.
When Shi Zelan saw the strange insect retreating, he said to Shi Xiaoliu on a whim: "Xiao Liu, you protect me, I will try to use sword energy to set up a killing array."
Shi Xiaoliu agreed to Shi Zelan, and Shi Zelan At this moment, she crushed a spiritual stone and her sword quickly pointed everywhere.
The killing array was successfully arranged, and Shi Zelan also sat directly on the ground to meditate and rest.
Master Shanzheng frowned and looked at her. After she had rested, Master Shanzheng looked at her: "Sister Lan, if you encounter a war, what you just did was too reckless."
< br>Shi Zelan agreed with Zhenzhen Shanzheng’s words: “Master, I will not make the same mistake.”
"Sister Lan, this is not a wrong decision, but your current cultivation level cannot support your ideas.
You have good ideas and the right direction, but your cultivation level is not up to par. That's your fatal flaw."
Shi Zelan understood Master Shanzheng's words immediately. She looked at Master Shanzheng and said, "Master, I understand. I will practice hard to improve my cultivation level."
The strange insect was trapped by the killing array. Master Decheng pointed his hand at the ground casually, revealing a big hole in the ground.
After Shanzheng Zhenren went over to look at the big hole, he frowned and said, "It's so empty down there, with only a layer of sand on top. Was the homeland buried by sand overnight?"
Master Decheng decided to go down the cave to explore the way, and he fell down.
"Hey."
The three people on the ground heard him exclaim, and Shi Xiaoliu shouted: "Master, how are you?"
There was no one else underground. After hearing the sound, Master Shan Zheng looked into the cave, but did not see Master Decheng.
He threw a talisman into the killing array, fire started, and the killing array was broken. Of course, the strange insects were also burned away.
Master Shan Zheng said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "I want to go down, do you two want to follow?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time: "Uncle (Master), I will follow."
Master Shan Zheng reached out and lifted Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan directly into the hole. Looking at the hole from above, they didn’t realize how deep it was.
But when falling down, Shi Zelan felt that the hole was very deep, and when falling down, he heard the chirping of countless birds.
“Don’t listen to the noise.”
After Master Shanzheng reminded him, the sounds of those birds seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Shi Zelan suddenly became alert. Sure enough, sometimes curiosity can kill people.
As Master Shan Zheng fell down, he also paid attention to the movement around him, and naturally felt something was wrong in the air. (End of this chapter)
