Catalog of Destruction

Two years later.

In the Western Wasteland, among the vast yellow sand.

After coming out of Tianji City, the farther west you go, the larger and denser the space cracks in mid-air become. Once you reach the depths of the outer reaches of the Western Wilderness, even with Shi Xuan's ability, he would not dare to escape quickly, otherwise it would be like seeking death. There was no difference, so Shi Xuan set up the Sky Thunder Conquering Demon Sword and slowly swayed forward in the yellow sand with green sword light.

"Hey, is there going to be a strong wind?" Shi Xuan practices the supreme way of yin and yang changes. During the Qi-entraining period, he also practiced the Samadhi Divine Wind Qi, so he has a keen sense of the changes in the wind, and in Xihuang , Especially deep in the outer reaches of the Western Wilderness, strong winds mean great danger, because there are not only all kinds of strange winds that blow away the flesh and soul, but also accompanied by black space cracks, so even if the Golden Pill Grandmaster encounters it, he must Find a place to hide first and wait until the wind stops before moving on.

Shi Xuan's spiritual consciousness covered the area of ​​more than two hundred miles, and he began to look for a place where he could hide. If there was none, then break through the yellow sand and hide underground. Then his Dragon Palace Technique would be able to work. But fortunately, Tianji City is heading to the desert of Jixi Town. Because the strong winds are much more frequent than those in the outermost layer of the Western Wilderness, which has gradually subsided, so for the sake of their own safety, the monks working hard have opened up shelters. Quite a few, such as one fifty miles away.

This shelter is behind a large sand dune. There is a winding sand road there, blessed with various restrictions. At the end of the sand road, there is a medium-sized sand cave. Under the protection of the formation restrictions, the sand cave The bluestone floor looks very clean and refreshing.

When Shi Xuan entered the cave, the strong wind had not yet blown, and there was no one in the sand cave. Shi Xuan's footsteps were accompanied by bursts of empty echoes. In fact, due to the size of the sand cave and the nature of quicksand, it was impossible to generate any sound. It was an echo, but under the influence of the formation, there was this strange scene.

Seeing a pile of remnants of a fire in the corner, Shi Xuan smiled slightly, remembering his experience of seeking immortality and enlightenment in the Middle Earth. At that time, he often slept in the wilderness, and the only thing he had with him was this pile of firewood. So, Shi Xuan walked over, sat next to the fire, lit the firewood casually, and fiddled with the flames and wood aimlessly with a piece of wood.

This wood is a kind of spiritual wood called Nuanyang wood. It can be found everywhere in the Fire Islands and some places in Nanman. It grows very fast, so it is not precious. Its biggest advantage is that it emits warmth as if it is lit. The heat like the sun never goes out. It is the first-class wood for heating in winter. It must have been brought by some monks who were in the out-of-body stage on their way to Jixi Town for heating. After all, in the strong wind, what kind of strange winds are contained in it? Even if you are hiding in a cave, you will inevitably shiver from the cold wind and dark wind. If you don't light a fire to keep warm, you can only resist it by using your true energy.

Shi Xuan was in a daze while fiddling with the fire, recalling his experiences in the past two years.

"Actually, with your accumulation, Mr. Shi, you are more than enough to advance to the golden elixir. What you lack now is an opportunity or opportunity to see the road clearly and see yourself clearly." Master Jiang said at the time, and Shi Xuan followed him " With the guidance of "profit lies in the west", he came to the Western Wilderness.

In the past two years, Shi Xuan traveled to Tianji City and its surrounding towns, and did many things, such as exploring caves, being hired to escort caravan goods, discussing and communicating with people, and mixing with ordinary monks. Unfortunately, there was still no one. Finding an opportunity to advance to a high-grade golden elixir was still as clueless as before setting off.

Therefore, Shi Xuan decided to continue heading west, to Jixi Town, the westernmost town opened by the monks in the Western Wasteland, to see if he could find the direction there.

"At that time, Zhenren Jiang only said that I had accumulated enough, and did not mention my character. Is it possible that I still have flaws in my character, and the opportunities and opportunities that need to be found are related to this flaw." Shi Xuan pondered in his heart, Shi Dong Outside, the wind began to sound louder and the wind was about to blow.

Following a chaotic sound of bells and footsteps, a large group of monks hurried towards the sand cave. When they saw the sand cave, they all breathed a sigh of relief. If they could no longer find a place to hide, they could only find a place to hide in the strong wind. There are no bones left. After feeling relieved, they walked along the winding sand road towards the sand cave while talking and laughing.

"Thanks to Mr. An for your familiarity with the road, this strong wind really happened. It's also Wang's luck that he met you on the road." A middle-aged man's voice said with a smile.

An old voice smiled rather proudly: "Where is it? Our Anjia caravan has been walking on the road to Jixi Town for more than three hundred years. If we can't find a place to hide, what will happen if we don't find a place to hide?" I don’t know how many monks died in the strong wind.”

Except for the many relic caves around it, Jixi Town has no other products, so this gives some low-level monks the opportunity to send medicinal materials, low-level spiritual herbs, elixirs, and materials in exchange for the low-level fruits that the monks gained from exploring the caves. Buying low and selling high-level items is a business route that earns a lot of spiritual stones. Of course, the sale of high-level items is taken over by some big families supported by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the eight major sects. How dare ordinary monks dare to to fight for.

While they were talking, these monks had already walked out of the sand cave. There were about twenty of them huffing and puffing, and each of them was leading a monster beast that looked like a camel. The only difference was that there were swirls on the feet of these monster beasts. Quicksand, such a large number of people and animals almost crowded the entrance.

The leader is a white-haired old man wearing a purple longevity robe. He has a tough face and an extraordinary aura when he looks around. Next to him on the left is a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and on the right. A middle-aged man dressed in black. This man looks ordinary. The only characteristic is a black mole at the corner of his eye. Next to him is a beautiful girl wearing a Hunan dress. The most eye-catching thing is her eyes. , big and charming, she just smiled slightly at this moment, letting the young man on the left side of the white-haired old man secretly look at her from time to time.

Shi Xuan raised his head and glanced at them. He had discovered them before he entered the sand cave. Except for the old man and the middle-aged man who were leading the way, half of them were in the entraining stage, and the rest were in the entraining stage. It's the out-of-body period. In fact, even if Shi Xuan doesn't use his spiritual sense to observe, he can still tell something from their movements. Only those monks whose souls have not yet been united dare not fly outside the Western Wilderness and need to move forward step by step in the desert, so they We need to bring that kind of camel-like walking monster - the sand treading beast.

This kind of monster is not only good at walking in this environment, but also has an extraordinary premonition of the wind because it has lived in this environment for a long time.

After these monks came in, they found a young man warming himself over the fire. They were surprised at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Western Wilderness is often deserted for thousands of miles, and there are many hidden places. As long as they are not in the city, they can kill people. Attacks and plunders are commonplace. Caravans like them are always alert when they go out. When they see strange monks, they are always on guard. Later, they breathed a sigh of relief because they saw Shi Xuan's body. The spiritual energy was oppressive and there was a fire there, mistakenly thinking that he was a monk in the out-of-body stage and could not bear the cold.

The leading white-haired old man looked at the sand cave and found that it was not a big place. With more than 20 people and more than 20 sand-walking beasts, it was a bit crowded, so he frowned slightly and whispered to the young man next to him. Two sentences for people. The young man also frowned, and then walked up to Shi Xuan with an approachable smile: "Brother, look, there are a lot of people in our caravan. I wonder if we can arrange for some people to come and sit in your car." "The fire."

Seeing his kind words, Shi Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Who wouldn't have some inconvenience when going out? It's up to everyone to make it more convenient at this time."

The young man did not expect Shi Xuan to be humorous and easy-going. He did not expect the out-of-body monk to be nervous and uneasy when facing such a large group of Qi-entraining monks. He nodded slightly and said, "This is An Qingshu, thank you very much." After turning around and going back, he called his subordinates and rushed the sand-treading beast to the other side to tie it up. At the same time, he lit two fires and arranged for seven or eight monks to sit on Shi Xuan's side, most of whom were in the out-of-body stage.

After these monks sat down with Shi Xuan, they immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, showed relaxed and comfortable expressions, and began to talk and laugh in low voices. For these low-level monks, walking in the desert of the Western Wilderness is not an easy task. Some of the monks in the out-of-body stage also took out food and roasted it on the fire.

"Little brother, do you want something to eat?" A black-faced monk asked Shi Xuan, who was sitting next to him.

Shi Xuan smiled lightly and shook his head: "No, thank you." His expression was a little dazed. That was because Shi Xuan was still thinking about every bit of the past two years to see what he had missed.

Seeing Shi Xuan being taciturn, these monks didn't take it seriously. When the monks in the out-of-body stage faced so many masters in the entrainment stage who didn't know good and evil, it was good if they didn't tremble with fear, so they stopped talking to Shi Xuan and took care of themselves. Talking, laughing and eating.

In the innermost fire, sat those monks who were obviously of a higher status, such as the four leading ones, and some who looked like stewards. One of them, Mr. An, asked with some curiosity: "Brother Wang, If you are not staying at Shenjian Villa, why are you going to Jixi Town? Although there are many relics there, it is not something that you and I would dare to set foot in. "Shenjian Villa is a sword cultivator in the Western Wasteland. The place where they live together is like a sect or a family, and there are two middle-level golden elixir masters.

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang sighed: "It's a long story. In short, Wang went to Jixi Town to make a frontline for the Villa." He seemed to be quite tight-lipped, but he also vaguely revealed that it was a Villa operation, lest Mr. An Ask.

When Mr. An saw that the middle-aged man surnamed Wang was unwilling to say anything, he did not dare to ask any more questions. If a small caravan like him rashly pried into the secrets of Shenjian Villa, wouldn't he be seeking death? So he changed his words and asked, "I don't know what to call this girl." ?”

"Haha, this is my little girl Ruotong, please say hello to Uncle An." The man named Wang pointed at Mr. An and said to the big-eyed girl.

Wang Ruotong stood up and gave a salute, generous and decent: "Ruotong paid homage to Uncle An and met Brother An Shi."

Before Mr. An could reply, An Qingshu stood up in a hurry and said, "I have met the Wang family sister."

The wind outside the cave became louder and louder, and the strong wind began to blow. Maybe these people hadn't noticed it yet, but Shi Xuan felt that there were several rays of light rushing towards the sand cave.
