The years when I made seven sand sculptures cry

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he turned and left the study.

Now that he has received accurate information, he will leave for the desert as soon as possible.

In the room, Mrs. Zhou sat at the head, and Zhou Yu and Lei Er stood in front of them.

They were summoned here, and they were very excited after hearing the news Zhou Yu brought: "That's right, it must be the Young Castle Master!"

They were excited about Chu Xiangwan's whereabouts, but the old lady seemed unhappy.

She looked at her grandson in front of her: "Yu'er, are you sure you want to go in person?"

"Yes, grandma." Zhou Yu's tone was soft but firm, "I'm going to bring Xiang Wan back myself."

"Master." Seeing the look on the old lady's face, the maidservant said next to her, "Even if you want to pick up Mr. Chu, you don't have to go in person, it's also okay for the family priests to accompany Mr. Lei Er and the others. "

He said and looked at the four people.

Lei Er knew that the old lady naturally didn't want Zhou Yu to take risks. After all, he couldn't cultivate, so his ability to resist risks was naturally not as strong as theirs.

Zhou Yu issued a reward order and sent someone out to find Chu Xiangwan in this way, which was the utmost benevolence.

Lei Er didn't want to cause them any more trouble, so he stood up and said to Zhou Yu: "Yes, Mr. Yu, you don't have to go in person, if your mansion can let the priest accompany us, I want to bring it back to Shaobao The Lord should be easy."

They were so acquainted with each other that the maidservant had a smile on her face, but she just went to see Zhou Yu, but he was completely unmoved.

The big maid's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the old lady.

The old lady sighed in her heart, this grandson was brought up by her alone, so she naturally knew what he was thinking.

That's right, Mu Chengxue's cultivation level is unfathomable, and the four masters from Zhuiyun Castle in front of him can't do a single move in front of him.

Besides, what Mu Chengxue took people to was a desert, so dangerous, there was no guarantee that something would happen.

If it was just for Chu Xiangwan alone, it would be impossible for the Zhou family to use so much power, and they would not risk their lives to save him in a critical moment.

But it was different for Zhou Yu to go by himself.

He is the heir of the Zhou family in Tiannan, and the glory of the Zhou family is tied to him. If he wants to go, the Zhou family must send out all the elite.

As long as he was there, they would do their best to save Chu Xiangwan.

After a long time, Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, since you insist on going, then grandma won't stop you."

As she spoke, she turned to the big maid beside her, and said calmly, "Go and take out the key to the shop at the end of Yongding Lane."

The four middle-aged people didn't know what the shop at the end of Yongding Lane meant, and the expression on Zhou Yu's face was also very calm.

Only the eldest maid's expression changed slightly when she heard this word, and then she turned around and went inside to get the key.

After a while, she came out from behind the screen holding a wooden box, and the key was contained in this box.

The old lady reached out and took the box, then gave the box to Zhou Yu who was standing in front of her, and said to him, "Before you leave, take the key and go to Yongding Alley first."

"Yes." Zhou Yu took it with downcast eyes, and then saluted, "Thank you grandma for your love."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Go."

Seeing Zhou Yu turn and leave, the four middle-aged people who didn't know why also saluted the old lady and followed.

The four of them were moved by Zhou Yu's decision to save their Young Castle Lord from danger, but what exactly is in the shop at the end of Yongding Lane?

The old lady asked Mr. Yu to go before going out, because she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to travel, did she build any special tools for him?

In the room, the eldest servant girl saw that they had all left, so she turned to the old lady.

"Old madam." Anxiety appeared between her brows, and she said softly, "You handed the key to Young Master Yu, because you thought this trip might be dangerous, right? If that's the case, why didn't you stop Young Master?"

"Ziyuan." The old lady looked at the direction they were leaving, and called out the name of her maidservant, "People in the Zhou family always think of what to do, and they will definitely do it, and no one can stop them."

If it can be stopped, will there be only Zhou Yu left in the line of the eldest son?

She stretched out her right hand, and the big maid hurriedly helped her up.

"Let's go." The old lady said, "Go to the mourning hall and offer a stick of incense to Yu'er's parents, and let them bless him to come back safely."

Tiannan City, Yongding Alley.

Zhou Yu walked in the front. He has lived in Tiannan City for so many years and is very familiar with these alleyways.

The four middle-aged men following him looked at this unfamiliar alleyway, thinking that they had already traveled all over Tiannan City during this period of time, why didn't they realize that there was such an alley hidden here?

The alley was very quiet, and there was only a shop at the end, and the cloth hanging at the door of the shop was half old and not new.

Mei San stepped forward and found that it was blank, without writing a single word, making people completely clueless about what the shop in front of them does.

He watched Zhou Yu take out the key, so he stepped aside to watch him go forward and insert the key into the hole, and then gently twist it, opening the door that had been dusty for an unknown amount of time.

A cloud of dust rose from behind the door, Zhou Yu walked in first, and the four of them quickly followed.

After entering, they found that there was something strange in this shop, it was not as dark and dusty as they had imagined.

As soon as you enter the shop, there is a small courtyard where various flowers grow. There is a young woman sitting in the courtyard, embroidering patterns on her hand in the light of daylight.

Going further inside is a kitchen, a fat cook is busy in it, and the spatula in his hand is constantly stirring, cooking the ingredients in the pot with an extremely tempting aroma.

Everyone looked up, and there were other people in this two-story shop at the end of the alley.

I saw an old man in a gray robe on the second floor, sweeping the ground meticulously with a broom.

And not far from him, the sound of the abacus crackling was still heard in the room, and there was an accountant who was doing accounts on the second floor.

Gathering in this shop, these four mediocre and incongruous people formed a subtle harmony.

In the mourning hall, the old lady burned a stick of incense in front of the coffins of her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

"It is said that I am the number one master of the Zhou family. That's because our big offering has not been sold for hundreds of years. I think I should bother him to come out for activities, otherwise he will stay alone in the shop at the end of Yongding Lane , Even with three apprentices, I dare not come out for activities, the guy has rusted after a long time."

At the end of Yongding Lane, there is an unnamed shop.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhou Yu bowed to the gray-robed old man who was sweeping the floor: "Respectfully invite the great priest to come out of the mountain."

The old man in gray robe stopped sweeping the floor and looked up at the young man standing in the courtyard.

The four middle-aged people standing behind Zhou Yu suddenly felt a terrible coercion, which was even more terrifying than when they faced Mu Chengxue, the murderous god, that day.

There was silence all around, and as soon as the old man in gray robe stopped moving, the voices of the embroidered lady, the cook and the accountant all disappeared simultaneously.

The old man in gray robe stood on the second floor leaning on a broom, still looking skinny and ready to be knocked down at will.

He said: "Since the young master wants us to leave the mountain, then let's go."

"Yes." Three voices sounded from different directions, the accountant upstairs, the fat cook downstairs, and the embroiderer in the courtyard all stood up.

Xiu Niang stretched her waist, a smile appeared on her soft face, and said: "It's great, I can finally go out."

Only then did the four middle-aged people know that Mrs. Zhou wanted Zhou Yu to come to the end of Yongding Lane before leaving, and it was their four priests from the legend of the Tiannan Zhou Clan who invited them.

Mu Chengxue didn't do too much in Mingyue Villa before, and the priests didn't make a move. Now that Zhou Yu is going to pass, it is natural to have the strongest lineup.

The four middle-aged people unconsciously compared themselves.

They will also be the backing of the young castle master in the future, and they will be the four major priests of Zhuiyun Castle, but when compared with others, they feel that there is a gap, and they feel that they are not so low-level.

The four of them sighed in their hearts, and watched Zhou Yu board the white jade boat with the four priests who came out of Yongding Alley.

They knew that they were not strong enough to follow up and distract the four priests from protecting them, so they waited for their news at Mingyue Villa as Zhou Yu said.

In the white jade boat, the guard was about to put the spar into the drive hub, but was pushed away by the accountant.

Mr. Accountant stood in front of the driving hub, pressed it with one hand, and activated Yuanli.

The people below saw the golden light emitting from Bai Yuzhou's whole body, and then began to deform in mid-air, turning into a jade shuttle, and then shot out like an arrow off the string, making a sound burst in the air, and disappeared in an instant gone.

The desert wind and sand flooded the ancient city.

When I first left the oasis, I still met caravans on the road and heard the sound of camel bells. When I walked deeper, I could only see the sand dunes and the ancient city submerged in the wind and sand.

In history, apart from Loulan, there used to be many cities in the desert, but they all collapsed in the end, leaving only these ruins.

There is no trace of the ghost domain that Bai Yunshen was looking for, if he flew into the sky, he would be easy to miss, and Mu Chengxue needed to search for someone in the desert if he wanted to find someone.

After walking for half a day, they simply bought two camels from the Hu people they met.

Bai Yunshen rode one, and Zhou Qilin, Chu Xiangwan, and Mu Chengxue all rode one.

Chu Xiangwan sat in front with Zhou Qilin in his arms, and said with regret, "I knew I would have bought a few camels from Uncle Hu when I left the oasis."

Now there is no need for three people to squeeze one horse.

Zhou Qilin didn't care much, but Mu Chengxue looked down at him when he heard his words, held the rein and said, "Riding with me, is it rude to you?"

"No!" Chu Xiangwan quickly explained, "That's not the case. Isn't it because we are afraid that the camel will not go fast and delay things?"

After he finished explaining, he heard Mu Chengxue snort coldly above his head, thinking that this should mean that he accepted his explanation and did not lose his favorability, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did the master of the young castle turn his head to look at Bai Yunshen who was walking beside him on a camel, and then said, "Genius Doctor Bai, Ghost Realm is dangerous, I'm still very worried about you—"

Bai Yunshen sat on the camel and looked at him, obviously with an ordinary face, but when he smiled, Chu Xiangwan still felt his charm.

I just heard him say: "Before I came, I borrowed one of their treasures from Qianjilou, so going to Huangquan should not be a problem."

As soon as he heard the words "Qianjilou", Chu Xiangwan thought of Xie Tiao.

He couldn't help leaning forward, and asked with bright eyes: "Didn't you borrow the thousand-machine fan from Master Xie?"

"Sit down." Mu Chengxue, who was sitting behind him, put an arm around his waist and pulled him back, "Do you want to fall?"

The Young Castle Master turned his head and moved his lips: "I..."

He originally wanted to say something to the people behind him, but when his eyes fell on the dilapidated city that suddenly appeared on the road they had just passed, his voice stopped abruptly.

Mu Chengxue and Bai Yunshen's eyes froze, they both reined in, followed his gaze and turned to look back.

I saw a phantom-like city appearing out of thin air on the sand dunes that were empty just now. Under the scorching sun above the head, the whole city fluctuated and folded in the hot air, making it even more psychedelic.
