Chapter 298 I am Ning Caichen (15)

"They knew about the oasis, but they refused to reveal the location of the oasis at all. I asked them about the oasis, and they dispersed quickly. I didn't look like I was afraid that people would find the oasis, but I was in awe of this place, even fear .” Ah Er said.

Ah San suddenly said: "I chatted with a young and middle-aged man in the village. He came to find me secretly. After talking to him, I found out that people from them have stayed in the village for generations, but never Have you ever heard of an oasis?"

Ruyu said: "How to say?"

"The conditions here are limited, the traffic is blocked, it is difficult for people outside to get in, and the people inside have no ability to go out. They still know the rumors about the oasis from the mouths of explorers."

"Never knew there was an oasis?" Jian Xuran couldn't believe it. "That's wrong. We passed by so many tribes here, and each tribe said that there are envoys sent by the oasis every year. How could there be no oasis?"

Geng Letian added: "The most important thing is that this village is the closest to the oasis, and it is the end of this desert."

Ah San shrugged, "But that's the truth. We're curious that they don't know about the oasis, and they're also curious about how we know about the oasis. This village has no communication with the outside world, and the so-called oasis envoys have never visited their village."

Ruyu pondered: "It's really strange, this village is the closest to the oasis, logically speaking, it's the easiest to see the oasis envoy, but the oasis has never sent anyone over..."

Geng Letian looked at her: "Could someone be lying?"

Ruyu shook her head, "The people in the tribe didn't lie, and neither did the people in the village."

For a martial artist like her who is close to the level of Body Tempering Dzogchen, it is very easy to judge whether ordinary people are lying or not. This is a judgment that is almost intuitive and instinctive, and it will never go wrong.

The last bodyguard, that is Ah Si, put forward a different point of view, "Is it true that no one has ever left this village?"

Ruyu was stunned, "Why do you say that?"

A Sidao: "The people in the village said that the people who went out never came back. Did they find the holy mountain, or found another peach blossom source, or went outside... There are so many ways out, I don't know. I believe that everyone will be wiped out, and there will always be someone who can get out."

"So what's your doubt?" Ruyu asked.

Ah Si said briefly: "Have the people in this village really gone out, and have those who have gone out tried to find their way back?"

Ah Si's words led everyone to think in another place, not limited to the weird state inside the village, but to jump out and think about external factors.

But in any case, it is enough to show that this village is unusual.

Ruyu said in a deep voice: "Stay here for one night first, and make plans tomorrow, trying to communicate with more people in the village and get more detailed information."

"it is good!"

When night fell, in the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping very deeply, Ruyu, Jian Xuran and Geng Letian went back to their old profession, exploring the whole village at night.

They all deliberately lowered their voices, because the eaves were relatively high, and everyone was dressed in black. Even if someone heard the noise, they would think it was a mouse walking around.

Geng Letian said with a suppressed voice: "I find it strange that since we walked into this desert, all the villages we encountered were in the form of tribes, and only this one was a village.

When I came in, I looked at the gate of the village. It was written with the name of a county seat. The name on the front was already blurred, and only the word county could be seen on the back. "

Ruyu raised her eyebrows, she didn't pay attention to this small detail, subconsciously felt it was very important, and said: "Go, go and have a look."

The three of them came to the main entrance of the village. The word "county" was very clear, and the word in front was scratched by the wind, making it unrecognizable.

Jumping up with Qinggong, she stretched out her hand to touch the concave and convex marks on the stone wall, and outlined the word in her heart stroke by stroke.

I don't know what words were drawn, but Ruyu's heart trembled, and for a moment she was unsteady and almost fell off!
At the critical moment, Ruyu grabbed the bottom of the stone tablet, stabilized her figure, and then used the cushion to jump down, landing firmly on the ground.

"Did you recognize the word?" Jian Xuran hurried over and asked.

Ru Yugang was about to answer, but there was a sound not far away, and the three of them quickly retreated to one place, only to find out that someone from the watchman had come over.

Geng Letian asked at this time: "What word?"

Just as Ruyu was about to speak, a candle was lit on the eaves where they were standing, and the people in the room woke up.

So they jumped to another roof, Jian Xuran wanted to ask a third time, Ouyang Ruyu suddenly shook his head at him, and said: "Don't ask, I don't know."

She winked at Geng Letian and Jian Xuran. Although the other two didn't know why, they subconsciously knew that now was not a good time to ask.

They wandered around the small village, and the goddess of luck favored them again. They were not discovered by anyone, and nothing unexpected happened.

It's not normal for people to make noise one after another like just now!
Ouyang Ruyu and others returned to the house after searching. Seeing that the two wanted to ask about the name of the village again, Ruyu said a step ahead: "Don't ask, I don't know anything. Go to bed early."

Jian Xuran and Geng Letian were at a loss when they received Ruyuchao's expressions.

If you really don't know anything, it's okay to say, but Ouyang Ruyu knows, otherwise she wouldn't have such a strange expression when she said she didn't know.

Obviously know but can't say, could it be...

demon? !
Jian Xuran and Geng Letian quietly wrote these two words, Ouyang Ruyu shook her head lightly, and said, "Go to bed earlier."

On the second day, Ruyu and his team got up early to help the folks in the village with their work to increase their favorability.

After a day of getting along with each other, the people in the village have a much better sense of this group of adventurers, and many old people who have seen the previous group of adventurers can't help nodding their heads slightly.

Compared with the previous group of adventurers, this group of adventurers can be said to be of better quality, sincere, kind and honest.

It is because this group of adventurers are very good that the people in the village can't bear to see them ruin their lives in vain. Some villagers came to them secretly and said:
"How can there be any oasis? The oases are all lies. I think they are all devils! You should stay here."

Ouyang Ruyu also met a villager who said this to her, and her eyes flashed brightly, and she asked: "Old man, why don't you persuade us to go back, instead persuade us to stay here?"

The old man said: "Our village is very special. After every adventurer who came was persuaded by us to leave, he thought of going back, but he came back after two days of walking, saying that he couldn't find the way back. So I stayed here in our village."

The population of this village was not so large originally, and some of them were descendants of the original adventurers who lived here.

The descendants of adventurers have inherited the spirit of adventure from their parents, and from time to time someone will quietly leave the village and embark on the road to the holy land or outside.

No matter whether these people found their way out or not, without exception, once they went out, they never came back.

It's not that Ouyang Ruyu and others have tried to go outside, but they often turn back to the village after two days of going out. It's strange to say that the road they walk is full of yellow sand, and there is not a single plant in sight along the way.

Even when it was obviously cold at night, the desert was still very hot, and no dew could be collected.

Before they walked in the desert, many of the water sources they used were collected by taking advantage of the temperature difference between day and night.

This cut off Ouyang Ruyu's method of collecting water, and the group of them had to return to the village two days later, because the water they carried could not support them to get out of this area.

It's not that Ruyu and the others have never tried to go back, but as the old man said, they couldn't get out after walking for a few days, and they seemed to be trapped in a maze.

This maze should be a natural maze, even if it is as powerful as Ouyang Ruyu, she can't find a way to break it. She is not proficient in the formation, and she knows that if she wants to break the formation, she must find the eye of the formation, unless she is strong enough to shatter the entire formation. Array.

However, it is very unfortunate that her strength is still a little short of breaking the formation. Perhaps only by becoming a real warrior can she ignore this kind of formation.

As a last resort, they just walked back for two days, and Ruyu and others returned to the village.

For a moment, Ouyang Ruyu thought that this village was a real oasis. Compared with the harsh environment near the village, the people in this village live and work in peace and contentment, are they happy and healthy, isn't it considered an oasis?
But something is wrong, everything is not right.

"Master, I have asked the people in the village, and they said that they have never seen an adventurer with such a strong will as us, and they are willing to lend us camels to help us tide over the difficulties."

While resting in the village, Jian Xuran came over and said happily.

Ouyang Ruyu felt strange, "Their camels were given to us. If we don't come back, the camels won't come back either. Without the camels, how would they go out?"

Jian Xuran said: "I also asked them this question, and they said that the camel gave birth to a cub a few days ago, and they just raised the cub, and they can give us all the adult camels."

Ruyu raised her eyebrows, and she couldn't hear any emotion in her words: "Oh, so noble? Then you must thank them well."

Jian Xuran still couldn't understand what Ruyu said, and she was so selfish and silly, "Yeah, they are really nice people, so I gave them some silver taels, but silver taels are not hard currency here. I also took some accessories for them, which are quite new to the people here."

Ru Yupi smiled and said: "You are really amazing, you don't ask me for any opinions and give things without authorization."

Jian Xuran was stunned for a moment, "These are not expensive and important things, so there should be no need to worry about them."

Ruyu shrugged and grinned at him, this smile was like a devil's smile: "No, I just want to care."

"Eh?"

"Take everything back, who said I'm going to go find the oasis immediately?"

"Eh??"

"The oasis is close at hand, why be so impatient, it's better to stay in the village and take a good rest. When the time comes, I will naturally call you when it's time to go."

Jian Xuran swallowed, "But, but."

Ouyang Ruyu squinted at him, her eyes were dark, and her tone was light: "Do you have an opinion?"

Geng Letian bumped into Jian Xuran, these fools must not be stupid at this time!

Jian Xuran came back to his senses, quickly shrank his neck, and shook his head: "I have no objection, nothing at all."

This day can be said to be the most embarrassing day for Jian Xuran. He took back the things that had been handed out a long time ago one by one.

Fortunately, these villagers are very simple and have no objection to his behavior.

Unknowingly, seven days have passed. Since Jian Xuran and Geng Letian would ask Ouyang Ruyu when to leave every day, but Ruyu said there is no rush, they no longer ask.

Unknowingly, [-] days passed, and Jian Xuran and Geng Letian were completely enlightened. If they didn't take out the Resentment Orb every day to have a look, they would have almost forgotten that they were still doing the task.

Unknowingly, forty days have passed, Jian Xuran and Geng Letian wanted to ask Ruyu with a lot of questions in their hearts, but they still didn't ask Ruyu, they believed that Ruyu had a reason for whatever she did

Before they knew it, the [-]th day passed, that is, two months, and they had stayed in the village for two full months.

On this day, Ouyang Ruyu stood up suddenly, took the initiative to walk out of the town, came to the main gate, and watched the sandstorm roaring in the distance!

The most frightening devil in the desert is coming!
"Ruyu, come back quickly, you will be swept away!" Jian Xuran and Geng Letian braved the wind to dissuade Ruyu.

"Yes, my son, come back quickly. Our village has a sandstorm every three months. We all have experience in dealing with it. Hurry up and hide in the cellar!" The village names also braved the strong wind to dissuade It's like jade.

Ouyang Ruyu stood upright on the ground, opened her hands to meet the fierce and unusually strong wind, and gave an order: "Call everyone out, the key to our return is here!"

Both Jian Xuran and Geng Letian were a little dazed and stopped where they were.

Ruyu glared at them, "Do you still want to go back, you two idiots!"

The two came back to their senses again and again, God knows how long they had been waiting for this sentence, it wasn't a daze, it was excitement and ecstasy to the point where their minds went blank!
Regardless of the villagers' dissuasion, Jian Xuran and Geng Letian called out Ah Da, Ah Er and the others, and Ouyang Ruyu specifically told them not to bring luggage, and keep everything simple!

The village names looked at them strangely, as if they were sending them to their deaths on their own initiative. Some people came to persuade them, but Ruyu and his party ignored them.

Finally, before the sandstorm came, the most respected old man in the village tremblingly walked over with the support of the young man, and said, "Children, come back with me."

To be reasonable, when facing such a frail old man, there are usually people who would show compassion and take the initiative to help the old man, but Ouyang Ruyu and his group are not such people.

They were indifferent to the old man's persuasion, and Jian Xuran became a little emotional after getting along with them for a long time, and said: "Grandpa, you go back, we are leaving."

The crutch in Grandpa's angry hand hit the ground heavily, "Go? Where can you go?! There is no oasis here, no holy place, it's all a lie!"

Ruyu suddenly turned to look at him: "You are the ones who lied."

"Ah?" The others were all taken aback.
