There is a fairy tower in Baiyun's place

The entire desert sea is covered with yellow sand, and mist more than a foot high evaporates, just like a fairyland. Small sand lizards raise their heads to inhale the moist water vapor, and occasionally turn their heads to lick the dew condensed on their tails.

Such a desolate desert sea still exudes vitality, and life is so wonderful.

Chapter 55 Gua Chau

The sun had not yet risen, and the sky was already glowing orange-red. The Baiyun Building woke up the three of them, and together they enjoyed the unique spectacle of the desert sea.

Junior Sister Xia couldn't help yelling, and the little sand lizards not far away turned their heads and fled away in shock.

After tidying up a bit, the four of them set off.

It is still about a hundred miles away from Guazhou, and it should be easy to arrive before noon. The Baiyun Tower has carefully checked the astrology last night, so there is no need to worry about getting lost in the sand sea.

After a night of deep sleep, the four of them were full of energy. They each performed lightness kung fu, and with the coolness of the morning, they quickly fled to Guazhou.

After more than an hour, I saw a striking green in the distance, and it seemed that Guazhou was ahead. The four of them were refreshed, and their figures sped up a little, and they reached the edge of the oasis in a short while.

This oasis is hidden between two hills, so it is protected from a lot of wind and sand. A four-foot-high earth wall blocks the mountain pass. Weeds grow wantonly outside the earth wall, showing abundant vitality.

Inside the earth wall are several large green melon fields, and the yellow and green melons and fruits grow very gratifyingly.

"I know this melon, but it's so sweet, it's called a honeydew melon." Xia Zhaoyang said cheerfully.

"I didn't expect it to be grown here. It turns out that the melons in Guazhou are honeydew melons. Haha, now we can feast on them."

A few people walked in, the trees were shady, and several small ponds were sparkling.

There are more than a dozen families in the oasis, and it seems that they all depend on growing these honeydew melons for their livelihood. When it is almost ripe, many melon farmers are busy in the melon fields.

Seeing the four people in Baiyun Tower, they greeted each other warmly.

Asked about the location of the village chief's house, they walked slowly towards the northernmost village chief's house.

Baiyun Tower went all the way to investigate, and basically came to a conclusion. This Guazhou, the spirit of water is nothing unusual, and it can be stronger than the desert sea, not even Liangzhou City.

Those ponds were carefully inspected by Baiyun Tower with Tianyantong, but nothing was found.

Baiyun Tower didn't care if they didn't find the desired result. This was the first stop.

Since Junior Sister Xia said that honeydew melon is sweet enough, it must be delicious. Let’s have a good meal first. This Junior Sister is not very reliable in most things, but she definitely has a place in food evaluation.

Seeing Dongfang Junior Sister's questioning look, Baiyunlou shook her head lightly, and Dongfang Ziyan understood that the fairy should not be here.

When I came to the village head's house, the old village head was lying on a bamboo chair under a big tree to enjoy the cool air. When he saw four people coming, he enthusiastically moved a few bamboo chairs and asked them to sit down and talk.

Baiyunlou said that several of them were students of Xinlu Academy, and they came to Desert Sea to explore the historical sites and legends. The old village chief got more energetic and chatted with everyone about the origin of Guazhou.

Hearing that the four of them were acquainted with the commander-in-chief of Liangzhou City, the old village head stood up and went to the room to bring a huge honeydew melon.

As he walked, he said, "This year's honeydew melons have just begun to ripen, and I haven't had time to send them to Liangzhou City. The commander-in-chief hasn't tasted them yet. I didn't expect to be caught up by you."

"Come on, let's taste the sweetness of this year's honeydew melon first."

While the old village chief was talking, he directly cut the honeydew melon with a knife.

"Speaking of Mr. Zongbing, I think it was more than ten years ago. There was a group of wild wolves in the desert sea, always coming to disturb Guazhou. That time, it happened that Mr. Zongbing and some students from the academy came to stay overnight and help Solved it."

"By the way, I also beheaded the white-haired wolf king. Since then, it has become much quieter, and no wolves have come to disturb and make trouble."

The old village chief skillfully cut the honeydew melon into a dozen pieces with a knife in his hand, revealing the crisp and tender cucumber flesh. Xia Chaoyang couldn't help but gnawed on a piece.

Baiyunlou also took a piece, it was really crispy and sweet, and had an indescribable fragrance, he praised it a few times, and the little fat man nodded as he ate.

"That's right, and only in Guazhou can such sweet melons be grown." The old village chief said proudly.

Several people had lunch at the home of the old village chief, and listened to the legendary stories of Guazhou and the old village chief for half a day.

In the afternoon, Baiyun Tower turned Guazhou inside and out again, and the two hills were not spared.

Guazhou has been thoroughly investigated, and there are indeed no signs or traces, so Baiyunlou decided not to stay any longer.

Before setting off, the little fat man and the old village chief exchanged a few big honeydew melons, not because they didn't want to exchange more, but because they really couldn't take too many.

In the end, Baiyun Tower left a bag of baked buns, which made the old village chief smile happily. Unexpectedly, the old village chief with only a few teeth left was so lucky.

For the next five days, the four of them ate and slept in the open, and explored two oases in a row, but they didn't gain much, and they were all ordinary oases.

However, these oases brought a lot of convenience to the passing caravans. Xia Chaoyang planted some seeds nourished by spiritual energy in each oasis, and the few people hurriedly set off without stopping.

The desert sea is as cold as water at night, but the four of them feel warm and harmonious. The Baiyun Building has already skillfully raised the fire.

These days, the few people have adapted to the life in the desert sea. It is very comfortable to drink hot tea and chat around the fire in the desert sea at this somewhat chilly night.

"It's a pity that I ate the last honeydew melon two days ago, otherwise I would be able to eat honeydew melon while roasting on the fire." Xia Zhaoyang sighed, looking very nostalgic.

"That's junior sister, you are greedy, you couldn't hold it back, and you ate four honeydew melons after only three days." Bai Yunlou said with a smile.

"Senior brother, don't talk about me. Every time you eat melon, you are the fastest eater. If I didn't stop you, half of it went into senior brother's stomach."

The little fat man chuckled and said, "Brother Bai, you walked halfway the other day and said you would send some baked buns to the old village chief, so you didn't exchange for more honeydew?"

Baiyunlou couldn't help laughing: "Feiyang, I said you've been staring at my bag for the past two days, so you want me to turn into a melon, but there's really nothing in this bag." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to twist the bag come over.

Seeing this posture, it was true that there were no honeydew melons, the little fat man couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but he froze for a moment, and a round honeydew melon rolled onto the oven.

A scream of surprise sounded, Xia Chaoyang held the honeydew melon and did not let go, Dongfang Ziyan who watched this scene also smiled happily.

Seeing the bright smiles of the two junior sisters under the fire, Bai Yunlou felt that the melon that he had memorized for a few days was worth it.

In the past few days, junior sister Xia has taken care of cutting melons. Not only does she have a short sword that is very suitable for cutting melons, but she also has a sword that she thinks is superb.

After practicing for a few days, the junior sister's swordsmanship has really improved. The honeydew melons that each of them got, Baiyunlou opened the eye of the sky and couldn't tell whose one was bigger.

After eating the honeydew melon in a few mouthfuls, Baiyunlou shouted cheerfully, and threw the leftover melon rind far away with a wave of his hand, benefiting the nests of sand ants nearby.

Looking back, I saw the little fat man and Junior Sister Xia, who were still eating honeydew melon in small bites, and they probably could eat until midnight.

Baiyunlou secretly thought, not seeing clearly, pursed his lips, activated two magic circles, and fell asleep.

Chapter 56 Populus euphratica Oasis

The next day, Baiyun Tower woke up early, flew to the top of a sand dune in a flash, and practiced Cloud Pai Zhang.

The vigor brings up the yellow sand to fly around, sometimes it is wrapped airtight, and sometimes the yellow sand is as ethereal and frivolous as a cloud of smoke.

Recently, each time he practiced Paiyunzhang, Baiyunlou had different perceptions, and the control over the movement of zhenqi became more and more refined.

During this period of time, Baiyun Tower not only saw the magnificent and vast landscape paintings on the flying boat, but also experienced exotic customs in the desert sea.

Unknowingly, the Sea of ​​Consciousness has expanded to a radius of forty feet. Whether it is the exploration of spiritual consciousness or the control of the sword, it becomes more and more relaxed.

Ever since seeing Senior Brother Bai's sword in the sky, Xia Zhaoyang has been pestering Senior Brother Bai, clamoring to learn how to control the sword.

He didn't call him Senior Brother Bai any more, and Bai Yunlou was a little terrified when he heard it, so he had to cut a small wooden sword and let this difficult junior sister practice.

Although he had refined the mirage beads, Xia Chaoyang's spiritual consciousness was still far behind that of Baiyunlou. After practicing for a few days, the small wooden sword only jumped occasionally, but it also caused Xia Zhaoyang to exclaim again and again.

Bai Yunlou couldn't stand it anymore, so he taught Junior Sister Xia the Dragon Capturing Style of Paiyun Palm.

Unexpectedly, this junior sister is very concerned about this kind of impractical move, and practice hard whenever she has free time. It has only been a few days, and she has already practiced to a good effect.

On the sand dunes, after finishing two sets of cloud-dispelling palms in Baiyun Tower, I saw that the three juniors and younger sisters were also doing their morning exercises.

Xia Chaoyang drew a circle about a foot in front of him, threw the wooden sword from time to time, slightly corrected the sword's trajectory with the sword control technique, and let it fall into the circle, and then grabbed the wooden sword back with the dragon-capturing style of the palm of the cloud.

These are all methods taught by Baiyunlou, it seems that Xia Chaoyang practiced them very hard.

The little fat man was flying and jumping on the sand dunes, still practicing the eight-step cicada that he had practiced so well.

However, after Baiyunlou's guidance, he has initially integrated the technique of stepping on snow and Wuhen into his footwork, and finally he can fly without being shocked by the sand and dust.

Seeing that Junior Sister Dongfang had just finished practicing a set of Liangyi swordsmanship, Baiyunlou walked over, took the Dragon Scale Sword, and practiced Liangyi swordsmanship with Junior Sister Dongfang.

Today, both of them seem to be in a good state, and their swordsmanship is extremely comfortable. I don't know how many moves they have practiced, and they have practiced the second move of the joint move without knowing it.

The first form of the joint move can instantly shake the consciousness and make a flying slash, but the second form of the combined move's sword qi slashes out, and Baiyunlou noticed that the flying speed of the sword qi was a bit slow.

At this speed, the average expert in the condensation period can dodge it.

But when the sword qi struck a small sand dune, the sand dune exploded instantly, and the inside still roared continuously.

In the end, a gap collapsed in the middle of the dune, and everyone who watched was stunned.

After recasting it a few times, the two finally figured out the characteristics of the second form.

This sword move is three points slower than the first combined move, but it is much more powerful. It looks like a sword qi is thrown out, but it actually contains six sword qi.

There are three yin and yang sword qi, combining hardness and softness.

From this point of view, this second combination move is very suitable for attacking and breaking the formation, or it is also good for defensive moves.

Using offense instead of defense, according to the current evaluation of the power of this move, it should not be a big problem to block the attacks of ordinary foundation-building monks.

The practice of sword moves came to an end for a while, and the few people packed up and flew to the next oasis.

Judging from the topography map, the next oasis is the largest oasis in the entire desert sea, the Populus euphratica oasis, which seems to be the most promising one, and the four of them are looking forward to this oasis.

In the vast sea of ​​sand, several black dots flew from the sky, it was the four people in Baiyun Tower.

The four of them stood on top of a sand dune, Xia Zhaoyang said, "Let me see the direction."

After flying for two hours in a row, it should not be far from the Populus euphratica Oasis. Xia Zhaoyang was in a hurry and wanted to see how far it was, so he could find out the direction by the way.

Along the way, several people have studied several methods of vertically detecting the position, but they have come in handy.

Seeing Senior Brother Bai nodding his head in agreement, Xia Zhaoyang shouted happily: "Look at my clairvoyance."

Then he jumped up, and Baiyunlou also jumped up with him, until Xia Chaoyang was exhausted, he reached out to support the soles of his feet, and sent him up to a height of several feet.

Xia Zhaoyang gently pinched a small section of tender green branch with his fingers, and a ray of spiritual consciousness had already attached to it, and threw it high into the sky, and the small branch flew tens of feet into the sky.

In an instant, I heard a shout of surprise: "Wow, I saw it."

Then there was an exclamation, and it fell from mid-air.

The Baiyun Building on the side had been prepared for a long time, and the dragon scale sword flew out, supporting the soles of Xia Chaoyang's feet. After doing this several times, Xia Chaoyang finally leaped down without any danger.

But after jumping off, Xia Chaoyang didn't take the thrilling adventure just now seriously.

Pointing to the west with a happy face, he said: "That direction is less than ten miles away. There is such a big green area, which is very eye-catching. It must be the Populus euphratica forest oasis."

Xia Zhaoyang continued: "Brother's sword control skills are getting better and better, and he is almost able to control the sword."

"There is still a long way to go. It will be exhausting to borrow your strength a few times. Let's not talk about it. Let's continue on our way. The ten-mile road will arrive soon. You can rest in the oasis tonight."

After half a stick of incense, before the four of them arrived at the oasis, a lush forest appeared in front of them, with old trees intertwined and vigorous.

This should be the Populus euphratica tree, and a few Populus euphratica trees in the distance have died, as if they are still alive, still stubbornly standing proudly in the desert sea.

The four of them walked to the depths of the Populus euphratica forest, passing a small lake, the lake was crystal clear, and there were small fish swimming leisurely, and the Populus euphratica forest was reflected in the water, making everyone feel refreshed.

In the small lake, Baiyun Tower sensed a strong aura of water spirit. After hearing this, several people were quite excited. After running around for half a month, they finally saw some hope.

The oasis is very big. On the road, I met an old man who was going to collect firewood in the Populus euphratica forest, and asked the direction of the village in the oasis.

Unexpectedly, there were three villages in this oasis, South Village, North Village, and Xihai Village. There were hundreds of households in total. The four of Baiyunlou walked to the nearest village, Nancun.

Along the way, I met several women carrying bamboo baskets, their faces were covered with thin gauze scarves, leaving only pairs of bright eyes exposed.

When I saw a few people, I was very curious, but I didn't feel shy and dodged. I looked at the four of them for a while.

In the end, they all looked at Xia Chaoyang, muttering to each other, laughing and playing, and couldn't help but look back a few times after passing by, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter.

Baiyunlou had a keen sense, and could clearly hear the laughter and jokes of the women, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Smiling, he said to Junior Sister Xia: "Those girls all fell in love with Xia Xuezi's handsome appearance, and they said they would take him back to be a husband. This handsome young man, do you want to think about it, haha."

The little fat man laughed loudly, but when he saw Senior Sister Xia blushing and staring at him, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Chapter 57 In Search of the Lake

At first, he was a little embarrassed to be teased by Baiyunlou, but in the blink of an eye, Xia Chaoyang started laughing.

Joking with the two senior brothers, he said, "You two are genuine men, why don't those younger sisters with big eyes like you? It seems that I am still the most charming."

"Great charm, beware of attracting wild wolves, I heard that the white wolf king in the desert sea is still wandering around."

While talking, the four of them had already walked to a small village, where an old man was holding a sieve basket and placing small dried fish on a bluestone board at the entrance of the village.

"Old man, may I ask how to get to the village chief's house?" Bai Yunlou went up and bowed.

The old man nodded with a smile and said: "This old man is the village head of this village. A few friends have come from afar. I don't know what to do with this old man?"
