Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature
#270 - Deep into the Desert, Evil Ghosts and Guanyin (Please Order)
Seeing the approaching Duan, the Great Hero, Fan Gao chose to take a gamble.
After revealing the information, he might be implicated and die, even a miserable death. But there was also the possibility that Duan, the Great Hero, would keep his word, not only curing him of the poison but also helping him regain justice and live like a human again.
Was there even a choice?
Living like this was no different from being dead.
All he wanted was to take back what belonged to him.
So, Fan Gao told Duan Yun everything he had found out in detail.
This information wasn't actually obtained by Fan Gao alone.
In his words, there were four of them at the time, specifically responsible for investigating the information about the Jade Guanyin, and he was the only one alive.
This information could be said to contain three and a half lives.
They risked death and dismemberment for the Curtains Rolling Up sect. Now, he was left with only half a life, thrown here like a dog.
This was also why he was determined to take a gamble.
The Jade Guanyin was terrifying, and Young Hero Duan was also terrifying.
He wasn't a martial arts expert and didn't know the depth of their skills, but this was the Jade Guanyin's territory after all, and the Jade Guanyin's mystery and terror were more deeply rooted in people's hearts. This Young Hero Duan didn't seem to have a high chance of winning.
But it wasn't impossible.
According to Fan Gao, there were only two of them left at that time, him and Bi Suo.
Because they had shared joys and sorrows, they gradually became good brothers.
They were already planning that if they couldn't continue, they might as well go back to each other's hometown to build a house and live ordinary lives.
When they first entered the martial world, people like them thought about making a name for themselves and dominating the world.
But as time passed, they found that this martial world wasn't suitable for them.
They were just ordinary people.
At that time, the Curtains Rolling Up sect sent them a final letter, asking them to find a way to enter the Yellow Jade Island, so that they could receive a sum of money and rest.
And it was that time that his good brother Bi Suo died there, and he was poisoned.
He tried to contact the Curtains Rolling Up sect, but they turned him away. He trembled, like an old dog about to freeze to death.
Fan Gao remembered very clearly that it didn't snow that day, but he felt extremely cold.
The poison he was afflicted with made him afraid of the cold, and the pain felt like ants crawling all over his body. And he felt cold at that time because of despair.
Duan Yun and the others sympathized with his experience and didn't interrupt his irrelevant words.
People's priorities are different.
Their priority was to find the entrance, save people, and then act on behalf of heaven to kill the entire Jade Guanyin family, while Fan Gao's priority was his pain, his loss.
Perhaps it had been a long time since he had vented the emotions accumulated in his heart, so Fan Gao said a lot this time.
It wasn't until later that he realized it and started talking about the important points.
After the first two fellow disciples died, he and his brother Bi Suo sorted out the clues and actually found a clue to enter the Yellow Jade Island in the depths of the desert.
The information they had previously found was that the Yellow Jade Island was actually behind a large area of jagged Devil's City.
The reason why the Devil's City was named "Devil" was because being in it was like being in hell, making it difficult to move forward.
In the Devil's City, yellow sand often filled the sky, and stones hit the sand, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which was eerie and terrifying. People would easily get lost if they weren't careful.
In addition, the Jade Guanyin had many mechanisms set up in it, and it was said that she also raised man-eating ghosts in it, so that area could be said to be a forbidden area. Even martial arts experts would die in it.
It could be said that the Yellow Jade Island where the Jade Guanyin was located was a fortress that was extremely difficult to enter, which was one of the reasons why many people wanted to kill her but were helpless.
Of course, most of the Jade Guanyin's enemies didn't have Duan Yun's determination.
They originally came aggressively to take revenge, but when they found the journey was long, they began to retreat. Then, when they found that it was dangerous and it was the Jade Guanyin's territory, they simply gave up.
Unlike Duan Yun, who said he would kill the Jade Guanyin and would never waste energy or compromise.
And the clue that Fan Gao accidentally obtained was a Zen temple.
"A Zen temple?" Feng Ling'er frowned.
"The Jade Guanyin calls herself Guanyin, so there are many Guanyin statues in the Devil's City, and there is a Guanyin Zen temple on the northern edge of the Devil's City. The Zen temple looks abandoned, because it is also part of the Devil's City. When the wind blows, it sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if there are many evil ghosts hidden in it.
One of our companions had particularly sensitive ears. He felt that there was space underground in this Zen temple as soon as he heard it. Bi Suo and I were also convinced, because once when we were drinking, we learned from this companion's drunken words that he used to be a tomb robber.
He often used his ears to listen to tombs. Later, he couldn't continue in this line of work, so he joined the Curtains Rolling Up sect."
"Later, Bi Suo and I followed this clue to investigate, and we found an abandoned well behind the Zen temple. We were originally going to try our luck, but we found that there was really a horizontal passage under the well.
We drilled through it all the way and found that the passage was surrounded by yellow jade stone veins. The veins were crystal clear, like mirrors, very beautiful. It was clearly underground, but it wasn't dark.
After that, Bi Suo and I drilled out of the cave and saw an oasis. The oasis was surrounded by clear water, like a fairyland, and we could even hear ethereal songs, as if fairies were bathing and humming.
But we all knew that this was probably one of the most terrifying places in the world. We always felt that the singing was from evil ghosts, who would lure people to eat them."
"Our task was originally to find the entrance. Now that we have found it, we naturally didn't dare to stay any longer, so we returned the way we came. But when we came back, Bi Suo was clearly walking behind me, but suddenly disappeared.
I went back to find Bi Suo, but only saw a pool of blood. I knew something had happened to him, and I always felt that there was something around, but I couldn't see it. What I could think of at the time was probably the evil ghost raised by the Jade Guanyin in the rumors, so I was extremely scared and could only run away desperately.
I ran all the way back here, only to find that there were many holes in my body, and I was poisoned."
When he said this, Fan Gao's pale face was covered with fear, as if he had returned to that terrifying situation.
At this time, he shivered and rolled up his thick sleeves.
Duan Yun and the others couldn't help but frown slightly.
Because there was a piece of holes on Fan Gao's arm, which looked like a honeycomb, which made people's scalp numb.
At this time, Fan Gao's story was almost finished, and Duan Yun and the others also got the key information.
Fan Gao looked at Duan Yun and said, "Great Hero Duan, this information is from seven years ago. I'm not sure what the situation is now. If you have to go, be careful."
Duan Yun nodded and said, "You told me the information, so I will try to cure your poison first."
As he said that, lightning flashed from his fingertips, and a vortex-like suction appeared in his palm.
"This"
Fan Gao's first reaction was demonic art, but he immediately saw Duan Yun's handsome face, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
This Duan, the Great Hero, although the technique looked quite evil, the whole person gave people a feeling of a gentle doctor, easy to be trusted.
What's more, he had no choice.
So, he closed his eyes and let Duan, the Great Hero, stroke his head.
The spring thunder like needles drilled into Fan Gao's body. Along with the Beiming Divine Art, Duan Yun quickly felt the same as Fan Gao.
He could feel the pain of being tortured by poison, and he gradually realized where the poison was concentrated.
In Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying's eyes, Duan Yun stroked his head for treatment, the suction in his palm became stronger and stronger, and the electric light on his fingertips became brighter and brighter.
In the next moment, the vortex of suction turned into a blue-green color.
Fan Gao suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "I want to be a great hero!"
Duan Yun stopped and said, "I can only do this temporarily. The deeper poison is too troublesome. I can only do it again next time."
Saying that, he flicked his hand, and a green palm print fell on the ground, deeply poisonous.
Fan Gao's pale complexion recovered a bit of blood, and his whole body trembled much less.
In fact, Duan Yun had just shivered on him, but he was shaking so badly that it wasn't obvious.
At this moment, Fan Gao only felt warm and even a sense of excitement, which was clearly a sign that the symptoms of poisoning had been reduced.
"Thank you, Great Hero!"
"Great Hero is really a god."
Fan Gao couldn't help but say.
This was by no means a compliment, but a sincere admiration.
He had never seen this kind of treatment, and never thought it would be so effective.
"I want to be a great hero!"
Suddenly, he said.
This time, he was startled himself.
When he shouted before, he was receiving treatment, so he didn't notice it. This time he noticed it, and he felt scary.
"This, this is..." Fan Gao looked terrified.
"When detoxifying, I used supreme chivalrous energy to suppress your qi and blood to avoid the spread of toxins. This is normal. It will be fine after one night. If you can't help but want to shout, you can do it secretly," Duan Yun explained.
He didn't actually want Fan Gao to shout too loudly and disturb the outside, affecting the harmony of the neighborhood.
What's more, "I want to be a great hero!" has become his symbol. If more people know about it, he may be noticed by the Jade Guanyin's people.
Because according to Fan Gao, the Leaflesstown seemed to be ruled by the city lord, but in fact, the Jade Guanyin had already made many arrangements here, and the city lord had to listen to the Jade Guanyin's orders.
Therefore, I saw Fan Gao, who was originally sickly, pacing in the room while repeating in a low voice: "I want to be a great hero."
"I want to be a great hero!"
The information came smoothly. Duan Yun and the others rested well in Leaflesstown for one night, bought some things, and set off according to the map given by Fan Gao.
At this time, the carriage was no longer convenient to go.
Because Yellow Jade Island is in the depths of the desert, the carriage is not easy to walk.
Duan Yun bought three camels, and Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying rode camels out of the city.
They were supposed to go north, but they detoured and went to Crescent Bay outside Leaflesstown first.
Crescent Bay is an oasis in the desert, famous for a pool of spring water like a crescent moon.
The most famous here is grape wine.
The wealthy businessman Guan Qi loves wine and beauties, so it is normal to go to Crescent Bay.
Crescent Bay is more prosperous than imagined. There are many camel teams coming and going, most of which are buying and selling wine business.
The newest novel is first published in Six/Nine/Book/Bar!
After buying wine in Crescent Bay and playing for a while, Duan Yun and the others found an hour and went west without anyone noticing.
They are almost sure that no one is following them.
The further west you go, the more obvious the scenery of the Gobi Desert becomes.
Even in the afternoon, the scorching sun is still scorching, and the wind blowing is scorching.
There is no breath of spring here at all.
Or rather, there is no spring in this kind of place.
Duan Yun took off, leaving only a pair of shorts, and Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying also changed into light clothes.
However, the newly bought grape wine is really sweet and also quenches thirst.
Initially, you can still see some half-yellow and half-black mud on the road, with grape racks on it.
Later, there is only yellow sand and rough stones that move with the wind.
Feng Ling'er took out a compass to check the direction.
Because she had the idea of avenging her mother very early, Feng Ling'er also knew that the Jade Guanyin's residence was in the desert, so she was the most knowledgeable about the desert among the three.
Of course, this kind of understanding is at the theoretical level.
She has never set foot in the desert.
Three desert rookies ride camels in the wind and sand, looking at the vast yellow sand, only feeling the vastness and cruelty of nature.
Yes, this is not a place suitable for human survival.
Even if they are martial arts masters with abundant true energy, they will feel hot and thirsty in this desert, as if their whole body has become barbecue, placed on this huge iron plate covered with yellow sand to bake.
Duan Yun even felt that burying a beggar chicken here can be cooked without even lighting a fire.
It can only be said that martial arts can improve their physical upper limit. Wandering through the desert like this, ordinary people may not be able to last for two days and will die, but they will have no problem lasting for ten days and a half months.
But the uncomfortable place is uncomfortable.
Dusk, the setting sun is like blood.
The heat of the day seems to be relieved at this time, but it is not.
The wind quickly mixed with a chill.
It's like the wind is suddenly divided into two layers, the upper layer is as hot as the day, and the lower layer is as cold as ice, which can be said to be called "ice and fire."
So soon there was a picture of Duan Yun wearing thick pants on his legs and still naked on his upper body.
The wind here is so magical.
Duan Yun, riding on a camel, can even feel that these two layers of wind are divided by his belly button.
At this time, the best camel bought with a lot of money is also tired.
And the most embarrassing situation that Jianghu rookies are prone to appear also appeared.
They are lost.
Feng Ling'er, who was holding a compass and mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge, did not take them to the intended location.
The desert is as changeable as the human skin mask she made.
Seeing that it was getting late, Duan Yun and Shen Ying cast questioning glances at her at the same time.
Feng Ling'er couldn't help but explain: "There is something wrong with this compass. I have long suspected that that guy is a profiteer."
Then, she looked around and said like an expert: "It's not good to travel at night. We have to find a place to spend the night first, and then find the direction again tomorrow."
After that, she arranged the camels in a circle like a professional to resist the wind and sand.
But this is a vent, and they still ate a mouthful of sand.
Feng Ling'er could only pretend to be professional and look for a shelter from the wind.
At this time, Feng Ling'er only felt that she was as embarrassed as the Murong brothers.
In the past, embarrassment was always Murong brothers' burden alone.
But at this moment, she suddenly froze.
Because she saw a ship.
A wooden ship, its bow tilted upwards, stuck in the yellow sand.
What would a ship be doing in the desert?
As dusk approached, the ship standing there gave off an air of mystery and eeriness.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying also came over.
Shen Ying couldn't help but excitedly say, "There's a ship, just right for taking shelter."
Feng Ling'er waved her hand, looking like a professional, and said, "Don't be hasty, that's a mirage."
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Shen Ying stepped on the old ship planks and jumped a few times, then looked at Feng Ling'er and said, "This is a mirage?"
Feng Ling'er's face turned red, and she said, "Are you deliberately trying to find fault?"
The wind blew harder, and sand dust filled the air.
This dilapidated ship, half-buried in the yellow sand, was perfect for sheltering them from the wind and dust.
There was a hole in the ship's body, like a door to a house. The three of them tied the camels there and went inside.
By this time, both the people and the camels were quite tired.
The camels had already squatted down to rest.
And Duan Yun and the other two huddled in the ship's hull, listening to the sound of the wind outside, feeling as if they were hearing ghosts wailing.
Although Feng Ling'er had been embarrassed quite a few times today, she was right about one thing.
The nights here were completely unsuitable for traveling. Just the wind and sand that obscured vision made it impossible to tell directions.
The three of them didn't eat anything, but took out wine and water to drink.
This place was full of sand, so no one had a good appetite for anything.
Duan Yun and the others began to close their eyes and rest.
The wind kept blowing, very noisy, as if many people were talking in the wind.
But because they had exerted themselves quite a bit during the day and drank a lot of wine, they were all a little sleepy.
Especially Feng Ling'er, this expert who had made a mistake or two, had exhausted a lot of energy and quickly fell asleep.
So did Duan Yun.
But not long after falling asleep, he was touched and woke up.
Yes, Shen Ying touched him with her big butt and said in lip language, "Someone's there."
Duan Yun woke up immediately.
In this deserted desert in the middle of the night, besides them, there were other people?
Could they be up to no good?
He leaned against the hole in the ship's hull and looked outside.
He saw that the wind and sand had lessened a lot, and moonlight was shining on the sand, a cold and desolate scene.
And the cold moonlight also illuminated figures.
Those figures were on the sand dunes opposite, sliding down with the dunes. Some of their postures looked like they were calling for help, but there was no sound, creating a bizarre and eerie scene.
