Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 177 Extra Story: The Disappearing Beauty

The vast desert, the dead sea of ​​sand.

Waves of sand surge forward, and the continuous undulating sand dunes are like an invisible giant hand, which peels off layers of the desert, and at the same time moves pedestrians walking in the vast desert bit by bit. heart.

The boundless desert is like a golden sea, the sun shines on the vast sky, and thousands of points of light shine, as if reflecting the countless golden sand and gravel above the desert.

However, in the endless desert, at this moment, there is a strong wind, the sand is flying, the sky is dark, it is simply a world of sand, and there is no place to stand at all.

"Damn it, this damn weather!"

Although it was not the first time for the passing businessmen to experience such sandstorms, they still felt headaches.They had no choice but to get down quickly and covered their mouths and noses with their clothes.

However, the sandstorm this time was a little more terrifying than the previous ones. The roaring sound was like a tiger descending the mountain, making ordinary people like them tremble.

Fortunately, however, when the storm passed, no one was injured and the cargo was on the back of the camel intact.

"Haha, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed!"

The leading businessman laughed loudly, and the original look of fear was swept away.

It seemed that the legendary Silk Road that the gods traveled was really protecting them.

Thanking the god for the gift, the businessman was about to move on, but at the moment when the hired man pulled the camel, the cold murderous intent stimulated the back like a thorn, making people fall into a cold pool.

"Stop! I opened this road, and I planted this tree! If you want to live from now on, save money to buy roads!"

Facing the fierce and domineering horse thieves who appeared from nowhere, the gleaming blades in their hands and the greed in their eyes were warning everyone.

"But there are no trees or roads here either."

Businessmen also tell the truth honestly.

Because he believes that the Silk Road is the footprints left by the gods.

"Cut, stop talking nonsense, quickly hand over your goods to me, or wait for someone else to collect the corpse!"

The horse thief cried impatiently, and his nimble fingers kept playing with the blade, threatening the merchant.

"We have the Great Wall Guards behind us! They are nearby!"

Someone shouted, but the trembling voice seemed so weak.

"Great Wall Guards?!"

Hearing the title of this team, the horse thieves obviously hesitated.

The Great Wall Guards, to the entire desert, are almost a savior-like existence, admired by thousands of people.

Moreover, their strength is obvious to all --- wiped out the tyrant's Eye of Destruction in the depths of the desert.

It can be said that if anyone dares to provoke them, that is the truly desperate choice.

Therefore, even the horse thieves and bandits wandering between the Gobi oasis are deeply afraid of the Great Wall Guards and dare not take any action easily.

This gang of horse thieves could not bear their temper and desire, so they appeared on the Silk Road, hoping to make a fortune.

When I heard the words "Great Wall Guards Army" just now, even the vicious ones were stunned, but they quickly realized that it was just a bluff.

"Haha, even if the Great Wall Guards come today, you have to leave the goods to me!"

The horse thief laughed arrogantly, and at the same time carried a big knife, walked towards the businessman and his party domineeringly.

"Oh, really?"

Suddenly, before I even had time to blink my eyelids, accompanied by the ghostly voice that suddenly rang in my ears, a ghostly figure appeared in front of the horse thief as if by magic.

"Ow!"

With a scream, the leading horse thief was directly punched by Lu Yu and fell to the desert, unable to get up again.

"Anyone else want to try it?"

Lu Yu hooked his index finger and smiled provocatively at the horse thieves, but within three seconds, they turned into birds and beasts and fled away.

The terrified look was even a little more frightening than the merchants when they met them.

"Really, am I that scary? I'm obviously a handsome guy."

"Horse thieves never look at faces."

Jia Luo came with a gentle smile on his face, fresh and refined, as if he was an oasis in this dry and barren desert.

For the businessman's grateful thanks, the two also politely declined, because there are more important things waiting for them to complete.

"Lu Yu, if there is a human-like consciousness in the demon species, then you say they will be the same as these horse thieves?"

Walking in the desert, Jia Luo suddenly asked Lu Yu.

"Why do you ask such a question?"

Lu Yu asked curiously.

"Lu Yu, I feel that we humans are losing some beautiful things. Kindness, gentleness, and the protection of these essences that originally belonged to us humans seem to be slowly fading away."

The beautiful eyelashes drooped, Jia Luo's voice was very low, and there was an unspeakable depression between his brows.

Jia Luo didn't know why he suddenly felt this strange feeling.

Just like what the Annihilating Eye said at the beginning, even if it disappears, the desire and darkness in the human heart will never recede, it will only expand more and more, and eventually destroy itself.

Greed, selfishness, hatred, bullying, wantonly playing with the fate of others

The dark side of human nature is even more terrifying than the ferocity of the demons.

Did the person who caused Thousand Cave City fall into the flames of war commit such an unforgivable crime for his own selfish desires?

Thinking of this, the confusion in my heart grew uncontrollably.

"Although human beings are not perfect, don't be disappointed."

At some point, the night was approaching, the temperature plummeted, and even the air that was exhaled turned into a cloud of white mist and drifted in front of him.

Although they couldn't see each other's faces, their piercing eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Everyone's heart has a dark side, but also a bright side, just like in this world, since there is day, there must also be night."

"No one is absolutely righteous, and no one is absolutely bright. We are just playing our own roles and fulfilling the mission assigned to us by these roles."

The stars in the sky are like the sand on the desert, countless and endless.

Lu Yu had to admit that as long as it is life, it must have its own flaws, whether it is human beings or demon species.

"So, it belongs to my mission. After I collect all the wandering books, will I no longer have them?"

Jia Luo looked back and smiled, which was astonishing but full of bitterness and helplessness.

"No, your father, and the wish of the entire Thousand Cave City must be more than that."

Lu Yu looked into Jia Luo's eyes seriously, and said plausibly: "If you want to restore the glory of Thousand Cave City, if you only rely on collecting books, is there something missing? Jia Luo, you are the guardian. Compared with collecting books, you It is the last glory of Thousand Cave City."

The reason for this kind of thinking is probably a ray of light seen from the endless fragments of heavenly scriptures.

Perhaps, that ray of light was not the collection itself, but Jia Luo himself.

"Although, as you said, the beauty in people's hearts is gradually disappearing, there is always a way to bring back the beauty of the past."

Since the knowledge and civilization in the collection can bring eternal life, can it also bring beauty to human hearts?

"You mean, let the knowledge and civilization of Thousand Cave City spread to the entire continent?"

Jia Luo was a little surprised at first, but quickly shook his head: "The power contained in knowledge makes many people covet. What if this power is used by an evil heart, then"

Then, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just like my own father, who was committed to bringing the civilization of Thousand Cave City to bring new vitality to the desert, but suffered the blow of destruction.

"That's the answer we need to find ourselves."

"us?"

"Yes, we."

Under the hazy moonlight, Lu Yu's smile slid across his cheeks like flowing water, shining brighter and brighter under the silver light.

Jia Luo's eyes were a little dazed, but he soon became relieved.

Yes, I am not alone, there are reliable friends, and a determined teenager.

If the beauty in people's hearts is gradually disappearing, then I will find them little by little.

It's like returning the collection of books that were left in the desert to where they originally belonged.
