The moment Gu Changan stepped out of this formation, he felt a ripple in front of his eyes, and the world was completely different.
In the distance in front of him, a small oasis appeared.
Gu Changan stepped forward, his speed was not fast, but he was not slow either. He approached in just a moment, and saw a small village in the oasis.
Just like the Gobi towns I saw in my previous life, the roads were dusty, and there were small, khaki-colored buildings on both sides. Most of the people who came and went were rough and dark-skinned, wearing coarse sackcloth.
These are local villagers.
Compared with the villagers, there are more people from the rivers and lakes who carry swords and walk in a hurry.
Outside the village, there is a damaged stone tablet, the upper half of which has collapsed, usually buried in the yellow sand, with various traces of wind and sun on it, so that the writing has been blurred, but two characters can still be vaguely recognized.
"Dragon Gate?"
Gu Chang'an made a move, the name easily reminded him of other fragments of his previous life.
But the next moment, the thought disappeared from my mind.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he stepped into it.
The most urgent task is to find clues.
only……
"Where is this clue?"
Walking into the town, a sudden gust of wind blows, and the yellow sand fills the air.
Gu Chang'an has a protective body with stellar energy, which permeates his whole body, so he is naturally not in danger, but other villagers and quacks around him are caught off guard and eat a mouthful of sand.
Many people were cursing, spitting sand in their mouths, and walking to sheltered places.
This village is not big, and the street is not long, only about 200 meters.
Along the way, he had already walked from the entrance of Longmen Village to the end of the village, and happened to see an inn standing upright.
Many quacks who came and went headed inside.
As soon as Gu Changan's heart moved, he started to walk towards the inn—on the rivers and lakes, inns and restaurants are the places with the best news.
If you want to find out the news, you need to start here.
……
……
Chapter 119 Longmen Inn, there is something strange on the camel road
"Little Er, drink up!"
As soon as he entered the inn, there was a commotion, some Jianghu guests with swords and knives clamored for Xiao Er to serve wine.
The waiter in the shop was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, he walked through the tables like a butterfly wearing flowers, and delivered wine, vegetables and meat.
Finally free, seeing Gu Changan who came in, he hurriedly came up, wiped his sweat with the sweat towel on his shoulder, and greeted: "Guest officer, are you a professional or staying in the hotel?"
"Dinner, get some food and drink...do you have meat?"
Gu Changan asked.
"There are wine, vegetables and meat. The wine is old rice wine brewed by ourselves. Although the taste is a bit bitter, it is still mellow. There is not much meat left. There is only half a chicken, a duck, and a few catties of beef."
"Warm two ounces of wine, half a chicken, and cut up two catties of beef. Look at the other vegetarian dishes."
Gu Changan casually threw out a piece of broken silver, about one or two halves.
The waiter in the shop saw the broken silver, and his eyes lit up immediately - with this money, he bought half a chicken and two taels of beef, even if he added a few vegetarian dishes with wine, there would still be a lot left.
Giving him so much is obviously a reward.
Immediately, he put away the money, led Gu Changan to sit on a table, and greeted warmly: "Guest officer, please wait a moment, the food and drink will be here soon!"
Gu Changan sat at the table, while waiting, observed the other people in the hall.
Except for three local villagers sitting in the corner eating, the rest of the tables were full of quacks with knives and swords. At this time, they were all drinking and eating meat in big bowls, chatting with their companions loudly.
Talking among Jianghu people is nothing more than bragging, or talking about some interesting things in the Jianghu. After listening to it for a while, Gu Changan felt bored, so he looked away.
Just at this time, the food and wine were served, so Gu Changan picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
I don't know how long it took, sat at the middle table and finished eating, and finally got down to business while picking my teeth.
"It is said that the camel road is not very safe now, do you really want to cross it now?"
A bearded man, who looks big and thick, but at the moment, his face is full of sadness.
"What can we do then?"
Another tall man with a horse face at the same table took a sip of wine and said: "If we don't leave now, if we are caught up, we will be doomed, then the Luo family..."
"Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by another person at the table.
There were three of them, except for the whiskers and the horse face, the last one was an old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
At this time, the old man looked gloomy and said: "The camel road is not stable, but it is not impossible to go, let alone... this is just a rumor!"
"Even if it's really unstable, what can't be handled with our skill?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two nodded.
makes sense.
The three of them are not weak in cultivation, Gu Changan can feel that the blood on their bodies is very strong. After reading the information, the bearded man is born with the second level of innateness, the horse face is the first level of innateness, and the old man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is even more innate. 2 heavy repairs.
This kind of strength, not to mention across the state, but in a county, he can be regarded as a master.
"But now the sun is about to set, don't you really want to stay here all night?" Ma Lian said with some worry.
"Luo... the enemy will come after us at any time, we have to go, we can't stay here anymore!" the old man said in a deep voice.
After speaking, the three were silent for a while.
After drinking the wine and eating the food on the table, they settled the bill and took up their weapons and went out.
When they were talking, Gu Chang'an kept his ears up and listened. After they left, Gu Chang'an's gaze also looked outside.
Through the gate of the inn, three figures walked out of the oasis and gradually disappeared into the boundless yellow sand.
Looking up, you can see the golden crow hanging down to the west, and the red light is shining down, reflecting the redness of the sky and the earth.
Looking at the scenery, Gu Changan was speechless for a moment.
"Guest officer... your food is ready, please take it easy."
At this moment, the voice of the waiter from the shop rang in his ears.
Gu Changan came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Er in the shop, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Er, I want to ask you something."
"Guest officer, tell me."
The waiter wiped his face with a sweat towel, obviously not surprised at all - as the waiter, he was often inquired about by quacks, and they were used to it.
"I heard that your camel road is not safe. Do you know what happened to this camel road?"
"This is……"
Hearing this, there was hesitation in the shop clerk's eyes, as well as a trace of undetectable fear.
Seeing this, Gu Changan immediately took out another piece of broken silver and put it on the table, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Seeing this, the waiter at the shop immediately said: "Guest officer, it's not about money, the reward you gave earlier is enough... Anyway, you keep the money, and I'll tell you about the camel road."
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he said the relevant things he knew.
However, they said that their Longmen boundary was originally the first oasis outside the Yanmen County Pass, connecting the commercial roads leading to the western regions of the desert. They stop to repair and replenish supplies and water, so the past period of time has been quite prosperous.
But since last month, something strange happened in Longmen.
Many caravans and quacks often found corpses on the Gobi desert when they entered the camel road, and these corpses were basically sitting in a circle, either sunburned or frozen to death.
Logically speaking, on the Gobi desert, there is a large temperature difference between day and day, so it is not surprising that such things happen occasionally, but this time there were several cases in succession, and one death was a circle of people.
There are caravans, rivers and lakes, and local villagers, which plunges the local area into panic.
"Many people say that there are monsters outside the Dragon Gate. At the beginning, there were unbelievers in Jiang Hu, but after these people didn't come back, the name of monsters was basically confirmed."
At the end of the shop Xiaoer's speech, a look of sadness appeared on his face unconsciously.
Hearing these words, Gu Changan's face revealed a look of deep thought.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Since there are monsters making trouble, why didn't they report it to the government or the Xuanjing Division?"
"It was reported, and the government also sent people to investigate, but the people from the government didn't find out anything. The Xuanjing Division also came to a principal, but stayed on the camel road for three days, and found nothing."
"This principal doesn't believe in evil, he went in again yesterday, and he hasn't come out yet..."
Gu Changan nodded: "I see, thank you little brother."
Saying that, he pushed the broken silver in front of the waiter.
The waiter in the shop wanted to refuse every day!What's new?Since childhood. Talk group. Stay.I stayed (nine! eight? zero two, zero, five? eight [five six) absolutely, but Gu Changan fell into deep thought again, hesitated for a moment, accepted it, and then left cautiously.
"The dead were all surrounded in a circle, or died of sunburn or freezing to death... It seems that it was really the work of a demon."
Gu Changan thought silently in his heart.
As expected, this should be a test.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly stood up, put down a piece of broken silver, and turned to leave.
Step out of the inn gate, identify the direction, and then head out of the dragon gate.
At this time, the setting sun was still struggling on the desert.
The last afterglow pulled Gu Changan's shadow long, from one end of the street to the other.
very long, very long...
……
……
Chapter 120 The Gobi is as cold as frost, and the bonfire is weird!
As night falls, on the desolate next door, the moonlight is dim and the stars are sparse.
The cold wind whistling, blowing with sand and dust, hit people, often with a biting chill.
In less than two hours, Gu Changan went from hot to cold, and this time he finally felt the temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi Desert.
Along the way, we walked along the ancient camel road opened up by the caravan. Although it is an ancient road, it is actually a long yellow sand, just because this is the safest and most convenient road that has been explored by caravans over the years. of a path.
Along the way, there is no trace of human habitation, but the poplars that are dry and collapsed, or completely withered.
These Populus euphratica, one in the east and one in the west, and white grass grows on the Gobi, but they can't bring any sense of vitality to people, but they feel desolate.
Especially at night, the herbs swayed with the wind and sand, making rustling sounds, like wraiths crawling out from the bottom of the desert, and the collapsed poplars were more like palms struggling in the quagmire, but still desperately reaching out to the sky .
Being here, even Gu Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart - this is not a cold in his heart, but a cold in his body.
It came out in bursts, drilled up from the soles of the feet, pierced in from the back, rushed in from the front of the chest, went straight to the limbs, flowed through the internal organs, and finally reached the head, making his scalp numb.
"It's so cold here at night?"
The Qi and blood in Gu Chang'an's body continued to circulate, but he still felt a slight chill.
You know, he has become a martial arts innate now, his body has a self-circulation, qi and blood are constantly growing, and the true energy and qi are all over the body surface, and he can completely prevent the cold and heat from invading.
Not to mention the 584 points of qi and blood, the qi and blood alone is already comparable to the 6th grade of the innate. Once the qi and blood are boiling, the whole body is like a big furnace. There is a large pool of water that can evaporate it.
Such a heat, but also feel cold because of the temperature difference between day and night?
Gu Changan felt something was wrong.
"This desert, there is a problem..."
"Even martial artists can feel the cold, no wonder people would freeze to death... But is this real, or is it a field created by that unknown monster?"
Gu Changan thought so in his mind.
Walking in the desert, Qi and blood in the body circulated, even with mana flowing, dispelling the cold, but the cold was like maggots on the tarsus, creeping in from the limbs and bones, making Gu Changan's body shiver involuntarily.
