Baiyun Hidden Sword [Lu Xiaofeng + Sword III]

The wind and sand outside the Great Wall always raged extremely violently at dusk, and Ye Linghan, who had been on the road for five days, finally saw the light of a fire ahead before it completely darkened, and suddenly felt a lot less tired.

There was still no progress in this journey. The mystery of the Western Demon Cult was beyond her imagination. If she stayed for a few more days, she would probably become one of the dead bones in the yellow sand.

Before coming to this ghostly place, she followed Ye Qi to the Mingjiao with a similar climate, but she was entertained by Ye Qi's Mingjiao friends at that time, and she didn't feel the slightest discomfort even in the desolate desert. The so-called experience at that time can be seen now. It was useless at all, and even nearly killed her.

The rising fire was not far ahead, and when Fang approached, he found that it was a shed with a few people sitting here and there, drinking by the light.

Ye Linghan walked in without hesitation, lowering her voice as much as possible before opening her mouth, "Is there any tea?"

"Yes! Of course there is!" The proprietress, who was still charming, seemed to have just woken up, and opened the curtain a little stiffly to greet her, and chose an empty table to clean for her.

Of course, this is almost just a superficial effort, and it will be another layer of sand after a while.

"Does the girl still need some food? There are not many shops on the way out of the desert. If you don't make more preparations, you may not be able to make it out."

Businessmen always like to scare people, but at this moment Ye Linghan really needs some hot food to relieve his fatigue, so he nodded and said, "Give me some food first, and we'll talk about the rest."

"Okay! You just wait."

The people at the tables next to her were all staring at her this time, with curiosity and guard in their eyes, which was nothing unusual.

When it was completely dark, the proprietress also came out from the curtain again, with a pot of hot tea in her hand, "Girl, you have to wait for the tea you want."

"fine."

Compared to spending the night in the desert, it is not bad to have a place to sit. Ye Linghan thinks a lot now, and besides, he doesn't have much money, so it is unrealistic to spend like before.

She couldn't help sighing at the thought.

In fact, this is not the first time she has tried to explore the desert to find clues about the Western Demon Cult, but she still found nothing.

When Ye Qi took her on a tour of Mingjiao, he also mentioned about the sea of ​​death that Mingjiao believers were reluctant to set foot in. Thinking about it now, it should not be much different.

After eating something to replenish her strength, she calmed down a bit and began to think about her next plan.

Ever since she woke up two years ago and found that she was in a place where there was no such thing as Tiance, the hidden sword in the West Lake, etc., she had been trying to find a way to go back. Finally, she had some clues, and was completely overwhelmed by the extremely bad weather. Grinded all thoughts.

"Miss Boss, how long is the journey from here to Longmen?"

"It's not far away, and people from Longmen often come here. If the girl is willing to wait, she might see the Longmen caravan tomorrow. It's safest to follow them."

Ye Linghan frowned subconsciously, the proprietress was too enthusiastic, even if she didn't have much experience in the world, she could feel something was wrong, not to mention the strange change of tone.

While drinking tea with her head down, she looked at the people sitting around the tables from the corner of her eye, and was shocked, she was really careless.

This place is deserted and uninhabited, it is not normal to have this shed, not to mention there are so many guests, I am afraid that they are disguised as horse thieves who made a fortune by trading human heads on the road out of the desert, and I was too excited when I discovered the fire, so I never Consider these.

Sensing this, Ye Linghan instinctively wanted to leave, but tried her best to restrain the urge.

There are many people on the other side, although I may not be inferior to them in kung fu, but after all, I only have one pair of hands, and I can't stand the siege. In addition, there may be some ingredients added to the hot tea I was eager to drink just now, and the result of acting rashly will only be worse.

The full moon hanging in the sky is no different from the scene under the Mingjiao Sansheng tree in memory. No matter how the wind and sand spread, it always emits an incomparably soft light. She squatted under the sand dunes like this a few nights ago when she had no place to stay After staring blankly all night and then continuing on the road, the whole person was exhausted, but he dared not relax in the slightest.

Seeing her half lying on the table, the proprietress asked a few more tentative questions, but she didn't get an answer before making a hands-on gesture with peace of mind.

Well-trained horse thieves are always quick to do things, just to seize the opportunity.

And Ye Linghan, who was lying there, had already swallowed a Jiuhua Yulu pill by this action, and only waited for everyone to get close before attacking, trying to kill them all with one blow.

"Wait! Take her weapon first."

Before anyone could respond to these words, Ye Linghan, who was motionless at first, had already drawn out his sword by sitting up, and without giving anyone a chance to react, he made a move of Jiuxi Miyan, which was still stunned by the horse thieves. In the empty space, he flew directly to the roof of the pergola.

Although the Jiuhua Yulu Pill is effective in detoxifying and clearing away heat, it still takes time. Her speed on the ground with the heavy sword on her back is obviously not fast enough for the horse thieves, so she has to find a terrain that is beneficial to her.

The people who were still below obviously didn't expect to provoke a kung fu master this time, and they were a little hesitant at the moment, but the proprietress was determined, "If she doesn't do anything, if she escapes, I don't know how many children will be born." Something happened!"

Ye Linghan frowned when she heard it from above. Before this trip, the leader of Longmen's caravan reminded her that there seemed to be a remnant of Atamu's party active recently. She didn't take it seriously, thinking that as long as she was careful enough, she would be safe. He went back, but he didn't want to be so bad that he ran into them before he was about to go to Longmen.

The horse thief who climbed up first didn't dare to make any big moves on the roof, she raised her hand and drew a sword flower over, feinted, then swept her right leg, and killed one person in a blink of an eye.

Just when she realized that the pergola under her feet was shaking and was about to collapse, a clear voice suddenly came from the night sky, "Hey, long time no see, have you found your way home?"

There was a momentary pause in the movement of the horse thief below to dismantle the arbor, and the man in black flew from the dead tree three feet away to the roof of the shed without further ado. Generally, he went back the same way, with a light body, not at all like hugging a person with a sword heavier than a person.

Ye Linghan was relieved the moment he heard the voice, and only opened his mouth after falling on the dead tree, "Why are you in the desert?"

"I made a bet with Lu Xiaofeng." The man replied smilingly, leaning against the tree trunk, "So I came here to look for your traces. The proprietress of the Longmen Inn said that you went to the desert to find your way home, so I will try my luck. It was such a coincidence that we met on the first night."

Ye Linghan couldn't help being puzzled when he heard the words, "Why did Lu Xiaofeng seek me?"

"Naturally, he has something to ask, otherwise, how could he be willing to waste a bet just to ask me to find your trace." The man in black spread his hands, "But this Lu Xiaoji should really be looking for you with something important."

"That's all right, just take me to find him after returning to Longmen." Ye Linghan waved his hand and looked at the horse thief who was chasing after him, feeling confident in his heart, "Hey, since you're here too, let's play for a while and then Walk?"

The man called Sikong twitched the corners of his mouth, and his smile deepened, and he really looked like a "monkey" in the mouth of his friends, "Okay, half of me, half of you, if you don't want to play, let's run away .”

Two people are better than one person, not to mention that after so long, the effect of Jiuhua Yulu Pill has fully taken effect, the previous dizziness has disappeared, and the movements are much easier.

Jiuxi Miyan is still as easy to use as before. Ye Linghan remembers Ye Qi boasting that even if this trick is not very powerful, it can turn people's eyes.

The commotion lasted until almost midnight, Ye Linghan was purely playing with his sword in the end, and didn't do much harm, grabbed some of the remaining dry food and rode away on the camel that Sikong bought at Longmen.

It became colder in the desert in the middle of the night, Ye Linghan gnawed on the dried steamed buns that he had hidden for an unknown amount of time, and talked with Sikong Zhaixing about what he had seen and heard in the desert the previous time.

When she woke up two years ago and found herself in a strange time and space, she once felt that she had no love in her life, which is not an exaggeration, because she had just lost love before she fell asleep.

It was the autumn of the 14th year of Tianbao. An Lushan finally rebelled. The great Tang Dynasty was about to fall overnight.

When the Eastern Capital Tiance was destroyed, she was still ordered by Ye Qi to stay in the hidden sword and not to go out, her tone was so serious that she had only heard of it in more than ten years.

So when the owner of the villa finally agreed to let her leave the village to accompany the rest of the disciples, she wanted to apologize to Lieutenant Li, but as a friend, she didn't help when the Tiance Mansion was in danger. Of course, only she knew that. Be careful, she didn't intend to poke it so early.

Until the junior brother in front of us heard the news that Li Yesheng from Tiance Mansion and Ji Xin, a disciple of Wanhua Lijing, were about to get married, everyone was very happy. After fighting for so long, it is rare to have a happy event, which is the only comfort in this troubled world .

As for who proposed the proposal of having the wedding at Hidden Sword Villa since the plan has been broken, Ye Linghan can't think of it anymore, and only remembers that he had a drink that night and was alone. They didn't want to see each other, but the junior brother who couldn't stand the unknown situation kept knocking on the door, and simply went into the forbidden area of ​​the villa with a sword in hand to sleep.

After waking up from this awakening, the prosperous Tang Dynasty is no longer there, there is no hidden sword in the world, and he can't even poke Ye Qi hard after waking up as he planned. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as life without love.

"How could the clue to your return be in the desert? I've never been able to figure this out. Didn't it be mentioned last time that your home used to be by the West Lake?"

Ye Linghan sighed, "West Lake without a hidden sword is not my home. Forget it, I can't explain it all at once. I will tell you from the beginning when I have a chance, but you have to believe it. How long will it take to arrive at Longmen?"

The sky in the east had already turned fish-belly white, Sikong Zaixing sat on the camel and stretched, "Hurry up, Lu Xiaofeng should be arriving at Longmen by now."

"What is so urgent?"

"You'll know when you arrive, it's not a big deal."
