After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 825 The Vision in the Desert
Liao Shan tried his best to dispatch and command, but the army retreated too quickly, and the decline was irreversible.In the end, Liao Shan had to adapt to the situation and directly led his army to retreat northward.

The Anton people did not return to the Hulushan camp, because the troops at the south gate of Heishui City blocked their way to the east.

As soon as they withdrew, the Heishui City army immediately cheered, and their morale was like a rainbow!
He Chunhua made persistent efforts and sent his troops to chase after the poor bandits.

No one expected that this battle would be won so easily with less.That being the case, of course General He must quickly consolidate the results of the battle.

For Yuanxi's long-term peace and stability, this time, the Anton people must be defeated!
This night, the Anton people fled in front, and the Heishuicheng army chased after them. They all entered the Panlong Desert along the Hongya Road one after the other.

It took three hours to escape and chase.

Chasing all the way and fighting all the way, the Heishuicheng army ate more than 300 opponents.

The people of Anton couldn't bear it anymore, and they split up and fled whenever the road forked.

He Chunhua didn't know which team Liao Shanzang was in, so he had to divide his troops successively, including Zeng Feixiong and other generals, while he led the troops and continued to chase north.

The forces of Tiangong and Baling Kingdom originally wanted to leave the team, but now the Blackwater City Army is also heading north, basically in the same direction as they originally planned.

It seemed that these thousands of people were escorting them into the desert.

Zhang Lianhai and the others were upset.

Although the Heishuicheng army won the battle and it was the Anton people who fled, they had already realized that they were still being used by He Chunhua!
The ace team that can determine the world with one blow, and the sharp knife team that go around the enemy's rear are all big tricks!

He Chunhua just tricked them into fighting the Antonians' swords, guns and arrows, and used them as bait to lure away the battalion guards, so that the real battalion raiders could succeed in one blow.

But this battle was won after all, and this dumb loss can only be swallowed by himself.

So the several forces didn't have a good face towards the He family and his son.

He Chunhua's attitude was still very enthusiastic, as if he couldn't see their resentment.

Only He Lingchuan knew that Dad didn't care about the feelings of these people at all, because after entering the Panlong ruins, everyone was a competitor!
It's almost dawn.

But the sky was cloudy and there were no stars to guide the way, so even Sinan was paralyzed in the desert.

There is vast yellow sand everywhere, and the dunes often move their positions.At this point, the two teams that were chasing after each other only dared to advance along the Red Cliff Road, lest they get lost in the Panlong Desert.

Not to mention that the people of Anton were exhausted to death, and the Heishuicheng army as the pursuers also began to relax, and the team was sparse.

There are only a few hundred people left on both sides.

He Lingchuan noticed that He Chunhua often whispered to Zhao Qinghe, with solemn expressions.

He drove his horse over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Chuan'er came just in time." He Chunhua pointed to the rocky forest two miles away, "Have you seen this rocky place before?"

There are hundreds of solid rocks in different shapes, the big ones are more than twenty feet high, and the small ones are only four or five feet tall, standing in the yellow sand, forming a small stone forest.

If the time is moved forward by 70 years, this place should be a land of beautiful mountains and rivers.But now, there are only yellow sand and boulders left.

On Hongya Road, He Chunhua walked nearly a hundred times back and forth, and basically has an impression of every detail.But he had no recollection of ever having seen it.

He Lingchuan looked carefully for a long time, then hissed: "No."

"think carefully."

No matter how hard you think about it.

Zhao Qinghe and several other soldiers also said that they had never seen it.

He Chunhua said with a sullen face: "An unseen scene appeared on the side of Hongya Road, who can tell me what's going on?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could tell why.

"There are already discussions in the army, saying that this road seems to have never been taken." Zhao Qinghe asked, "My lord, do you want to continue chasing?"

He Chunhua also hesitated.

Since the inexplicable disappearance of the crazy sand season, the Panlong Desert has become more weird and unpredictable. Now even the Red Cliff Road where the army walks has quietly changed.

You must know that the army has the power to surround them, and no ecstasy array or ghost hitting the wall can cover their eyes. The army is mostly local people, and the last mistake they should make is to go the wrong way.

Now, however, they have inexplicably lost their way.

Killing the enemy is important, but for the sake of safety, shouldn't you go home?Besides, the army was exhausted, and they entered the desert without preparing more water in advance.

He Chunhua thought of this, and said decisively: "Go back."

"Yes."

Zhao Qinghe immediately went to deliver the order.

The soul-absorbing mirror in He Lingchuan's arms asked him: "Do you know what happened to this change in Hongya Road?"

It recognized its master halfway, and was not familiar with Heishui City or Hongya Road.But even the local aborigines have lost their way, and this road must be haunted.

There was someone nearby, and He Lingchuan was inconvenient to answer, so he hummed vaguely.

Of course he knows!
Including He Chunhua, the Hongya Road that people in Heishui City used to walk was actually the official road for the Gale Army and business travelers to pass through the Panlong Desert more than 100 years ago. At that time, there were many branch roads and forks; After its appearance, there were only a few official roads that were not eroded by wind and sand, and later generations called it Hongya Road.

Those in Heishui City are the ones who are used to walking.

But after the crazy sand season disappears, many forks buried under the sand will "occasionally" be revealed.

Occasionally.

Others don't know how to walk, but He Lingchuan knows.

When he was patrolling the Coiling Dragon World, he had gone back and forth through these fork roads countless times, and even drank horses and caught hares in the stone forest that He Chunhua just pointed out.

Cangzhou in the past and Shashan today, no one at the scene was more emotional than He Lingchuan.

He has sweated and shed blood for this land, but with the flick of a finger, a hundred years have passed.

All gone.

Leaving aside these thoughts, He Lingchuan knew very well that both the Antonians fleeing ahead and the Heishuicheng army chasing after them were actually marching towards the ruins of Panlong!

And it's a shortcut.

This mysterious pulling power comes from the Dafang Pot.

Of course, he said nothing.

At this moment, a sandstorm suddenly blew up in the desert.

The strong wind carried the yellow sand, and it shaved people's faces.The sky and the earth were dim, and the living people couldn't see their fingers.

Both the front and back teams were taken aback, thinking that the mad sand season would come again.However, there were no three corpses, no ghosts, and no heroic spirits of the Gale Army in this sandstorm.

Just a simple dust storm.

But in the desert, no matter how simple a sandstorm is, it may kill people.He Chunhua could only command the army and quickly rushed into the stone forest two miles away to hide.

There are rocks and rocks, and some are as thick as a screen, which can block the strong wind and sand.

The wind was fierce, although it was not as strong as Fu Jie's slashing wind, but it could easily knock the skinny man to the ground and bury him under the yellow sand.

Most of the soldiers in Heishui City are locals, and they are no strangers to the desert and Hongya Road. After finally hiding under the mountain wall, they quickly took out their bibs and wrapped their heads around their faces. rear.

In the face of Tianwei, human beings have nothing to do except pray that the sandstorm will pass quickly.

……

After raging for two hours in a row, the sandstorm finally came to an end.

Everyone got up from the sand pile, all of them were ashamed, and even their eyelashes were covered with sand.

He Chunhua shook off the yellow sand on the cloak, looked around, and then was dumbfounded:
"Where is Red Cliff Road?"

They had been walking on Hongya Road, but after the sandstorm passed, there was a vast sea of ​​sand around them, and Hongya Road disappeared!

Covered by yellow sand?

He Chunhua immediately dispatched sentries to investigate in several directions.

Generals kept coming to ask for the next step.

Everyone wants to know how to go in the future.All the soldiers chased the enemy all night, and now they are tired and thirsty and need to rest.

The falcons in the army flew up to the sky, hovered for a while, and then came down and said: "There is only desert in a radius of thirty miles, and there is no road."

He Chunhua asked it: "Can you fly back to Heishui City?"

Falcon's answer is no, its sense of direction seems to be out of order.

Soon, the ground sentry returned to report, but there was no sign of Hongya Road anywhere.

The road seemed to disappear from the face of the earth.

The Antonians were also missing, and they must have lost their way just like them.

As alert and calm as He Chunhua, he was also a little confused at this moment.

The defense of Heishui City has been won so far, and they can return in triumph.But where is the way home?

He Chunhua immediately came to invite Zhang Lianhai to see if Tiangong could find a way out of the current predicament.

"Direction?" Zhang Lianhai smirked slightly, "My lamp spirit never gets lost. But we still have places to go, so we don't have time to go back with you!"

He Chunhua was about to persuade, when Qiu Hu suddenly said: "You haven't tried it, how do you know it still works?"

The attendant behind Zhang Lianhai retorted: "It's a joke, the ever-bright lanterns in our Heavenly Palace have infinite uses, you are so ignorant!"

Ling Jinbao, the elder of the Jianyang sect next to him, coughed: "How about we open our eyes?"

Zhang Lianhai had no choice but to take out the platinum candle from his bosom and light it, and said softly to the floating lamp spirit: "Point out the direction of Heishui City."

The lantern spirit flew into the air, drifting left and right, and did not answer for a long time.

Everyone watched eagerly, waiting for it to determine its direction.

Finally, the lamp spirit flew back and huddled into a small ball on the candle, revealing that Zhang Lianhai's face was very ugly.

Qiu Hu folded his arms and asked, "Can you find it?"

Zhang Lianhai's attendant couldn't believe it: "No, no way?"

The Eternal Lantern Spirit has been enshrined and nurtured in the Heavenly Palace for a long time, so how could it be possible that it can't recognize its direction because of a little weirdness?How could this Panlong Desert be so mysterious?

Zhang Lian's sea sank like water.

Fortunately, the sentinel not far away suddenly yelled and untied him:
"There is movement ahead!"

Everyone climbed out from the back of the stone wall and saw a crimson red light in the distance in front of it straight into the sky.

It was already dawn at this moment, but the light was more dazzling than usual.

Soon, a vision appeared in the sky, and the mirage-like inverted city appeared again.

Zhang Lianhai and the others immediately said, "Let's go there."

Needless to say, everyone knows that the Panlong ruins are there.

All the forces whistled a few times, preparing to break away from the Heishuicheng army and head towards the red light.

He Chunhua thought about it, and asked He Lingchuan: "Chuan'er, what do you think, shall we follow the red light, or find another way home?"
