Strange Records of Xijing

Horses are no longer suitable for entering the desert.The grandson of the grandparents and grandchildren was left in the barracks and looked after by Lin Ping—this might be a way to take care of the hostages—while the old man rode a camel and took Zhang Feiran with him. , Pei Jingxing and others were on their way to find the Holy Land.

Su Yan's eyesight is inconvenient. Originally, according to Pei Jingxing's intention, this time he was just going to try his luck. Su Yan could have stayed in the camp and waited, but for some unknown reason, Gao Zekai insisted that Su Yan go with him.The two held their own opinions and almost had a quarrel, but in the end Su Yan nodded and Pei Jingxing had to take a step back.

There are horse-drawn carriages in the camp, but ordinary horse-drawn carriages are easy to get stuck in the desert, and there will be no other alternative carriages at the edge of the desert for a while. Just when Pei Jingxing wanted to use this excuse to persuade Su Yan to stay, Gao Zekai was very ignorant. Daoist Su, why don't you ride a camel with Pei Jieshi."

With a straight face, Pei Jingxing refused straight away: "No."

Gao Zekai who spoke, and Zhang Feiran beside him were all surprised.From their point of view, since Pei Jingxing and Su Yan are good friends, of course they would not refuse.

But soon, the two thought that Pei Jingxing wanted to take the opportunity to let Su Yan stay.Zhang Feiran didn't care, but Gao Zekai rolled his eyes and said, "Then Daoist Su will ride a camel with me."

This is even worse!

"Come with me." Pei Jingxing didn't care about the fact that he was going to be in close contact with Su Yan at this time. Instead of letting Gao Zekai and Su Yan be together, it would be better to suffer sweetly by himself.

In this way, Su Yan and Pei Jingxing rode a camel together, and the others rode camels, a group of about 20 people entered the desert in a mighty way.

After a night's rest, the silver-haired and blue-eyed old man had regained his strength. When he rode the camel, he seemed to be 20 or [-] years younger and couldn't wait to walk in the front.

With the emperor's secret order in mind, Gao Zekai was anxious to find the holy land earlier, so as to make sure whether the holy land was the same ancient city that the princes and the others entered, and followed closely behind the old man.

Jin Yong was the one who brought this pair of barbarians, grandparents and grandchildren into the camp. Although he was quite at ease with the grandparents and grandchildren, but he had misjudged himself and followed behind Gao Zekai—even if the two There is no problem with the Hu people. The desert is full of dangers. He follows Gao Zekai. In case of emergency, he can also rescue him in time.

In addition, there are three other soldiers following behind Jin Yong.Then came Zhang Feiran, Pei Jingxing and Su Yan, and the rest followed behind.

Today's sunshine was quite vicious, even though he had prepared in advance, Su Yan still felt dizzy from the exposure, and with Pei Jingxing attached to the back, it was even hotter.As soon as he was dizzy, all kinds of unthinkable and unbelievable thoughts that he didn't have time to think about usually all popped up, scrambling to grow in Su Yan's heart.

He thought of Pei Jingxing's busy days before he left Beijing, he was busy looking for various clues about Zhu Baotoad, and he didn't notice anything unusual.Thinking about it now, Pei Jingxing seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally in those few days.

Did you hate him?

As soon as this guess came out, it was immediately denied by Su Yan.He is no longer the little Taoist priest who just came down from the mountain and is ignorant of the warmth and coldness of human relationships. He still understands the difference between being polite and caring.Although Pei Jingxing didn't show up in front of him in those few days, he never forgot to ask someone to bring him some fun and festive gadgets. They were not too expensive, but they were enough to feel Pei Jingxing's concern for him.

Before Su Yan could understand this matter, another matter disturbed Su Yan's heart.

At that time, on the mountain road, he fell into an illusion. Facing a strange environment and unknown dangers, the first scene he saw when he opened his eyes was the cliff.Then, when he went to look for Pei Jingxing, he saw Pei Jingxing's legs were injured in the illusion, bleeding all over the place.

Why was Pei Jingxing injured?

Or, why did he think of Pei Jingxing at such an urgent moment?

It's a pity that in Su Yan's more than ten years, although a fox girl and clam spirit once told him quietly that there is a thing called fate at the foot of the mountain, which can bring two people separated by mountains and rivers together, and there is also a kind of feeling called love, which makes people feel sad. Leisurely, tossing and turning, but forgot to teach him how to understand fate and how to understand love.

Therefore, at this time, Su Yan only thought it was because among the other three, only Pei Jingxing was his friend, so at a critical moment, the first thing he thought of was of course Pei Jingxing.

"Su Yan, Su Yan."

Just as Su Yan was wandering into the sky, Pei Jingxing's voice came from beside his ear.

Su Yan withdrew his mind, subconsciously turned his head to follow the voice and asked, "What's wrong? Are you there yet?"

Pei Jingxing only felt something soft brush against his cheek, and when he realized that it turned out to be Su Yan's lips, he blushed, suffocated, his hands trembled, and he almost jumped off the camel.

"No...no." Pei Jingxing took a deep breath quietly, calmed down his excited heart whether it was because of happiness or nervousness, took off the water bag on the camel, and handed it to Su Yan, "Are you thirsty? "

Seeing that Su Yan hadn't spoken, he thought it was because of lack of water that he asked this question.

Su Yan was really thirsty. He took the water bag, reached out and groped a few times, found the opening of the water bag, and drank gulp.

Just as Su Yan was drinking water, suddenly there were several exclamations in front of him. Su Yan couldn't see anything, but he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad when he heard the sound, so he hurriedly asked Pei Jingxing, "What's wrong?"

Pei Jingxing looked around and saw something that looked like a tall building floating on the distant horizon.

"I seem to have found something." Pei Jingxing handed the rein to Su Yan, "Hurry up, everyone has to rush over."

Everyone rushed over and saw a Chicheng. Although it was not as big as Shengyongguan, the exotic buildings and mottled traces were enough to prove that it was an ancient city that had existed for a long time.

Gao Zekai was very excited, turned his head hastily, and came to Pei Jingxing's side: "Pei Street Envoy, take a quick look and see if this is the ancient city you saw back then."

Pei Jingxing looked at it for a while, then shook his head: "It's too far away, we need to get closer."

It's all here, of course Gao Zekai will not give up: "Go, I will go there with you."

Zhang Feiran was worried and followed.As soon as Zhang Feiran moved, the other soldiers would surely follow him.

After a while, only the old man who led the way was left on the spot, got off the camel, knelt on the ground respectfully, and worshiped this mysterious Chicheng.

Su Yan noticed that the person behind him was short of breath, as if he had seen something incredible.

"What's the matter?" As soon as he finished speaking, his left eye suddenly felt a glimmer of white light, and then he saw this ancient city in the desert.

But Su Yan didn't have time to appreciate the traces of history. Once his left eye could see the light, it meant that he was under some kind of spell.

Su Yan quickly scanned around, but unexpectedly, except for him and Pei Jingxing on the camel, everyone else disappeared!

And Pei Jingxing's eyes were red, staring straight at the ancient city in front of him, his breathing was rough and fast, obviously caught in some bad memories.

It was the old man who brought them here, what about the people now?

Su Yan drew out the mahogany sword, made a tactic with his left hand, and muttered something.But he chanted the spell three times in a row, and nothing changed around him.

failed!

Su Yan was startled and frightened for a moment. What he had relied on for more than ten years was his own ability. Now facing this ancient city, he had all his spells, but he couldn't use them. It was like a peerless swordsman casting spells. Without his own sword skills, what should he do?

If the spell fails, then use the most primitive method.

Su Yan gritted his teeth, simply pulled up one of Pei Jingxing's arms, and bit the back of his hand hard!

"Hiss!" Pei Jingxing gasped in pain, subconsciously withdrew his left hand, and drew out the horizontal knife with his right hand, about to slash forward.

"Pei Jingxing!" Su Yan yelled, Pei Jingxing was taken aback, and the horizontal knife stopped in mid-air.

"Su Yan? What's going on here?" Pei Jingxing also glanced around and asked, "Where are the others?"

"It was a trick," Su Yan explained briefly, "As soon as we approached the city, I could see something with my left eye, and the others suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons."

"It's that barbarian!" Pei Jingxing quickly understood, and said through gritted teeth, "I didn't expect to be fooled by this old thing again after evading the previous enemy!"

Su Yan shook his lower lip: "Perhaps, this barbarian is also one of the enemies."

Pei Jingxing was startled.

Previously, both he and Gao Zekai believed that the real enemy was in Xijing—the prince was critically ill. If they didn’t have time to retrieve something from the ancient city that the deposed prince put in, the prince’s position would be lost, and the one who would benefit would be the prince among the many princes. One, so they didn't expect that there would be Hu people involved.

But Pei Jingxing immediately thought of Xiannu, the concubine of the abolished prince. According to Xiannu, the abolished prince took away the holy land of the Xiannu tribe. Maybe other people of the Xiannu tribe are still alive in this world, struggling to find a way to return to the holy land. .Since the tribe of the old Hu people has the tradition of sending the body to the holy land after death, it should be a member of that tribe!Perhaps, they heard about this incident somehow, and deliberately waited in the desert, waiting for Jin Yong to be fooled, and then waited for an opportunity to retaliate.

But the specific reason for this is not what should be explored now.

Because he never expected such a change, Pei Jingxing's dragon head and tiger tooth spear were left in the camp, and the only thing beside him for self-defense was a horizontal knife.And now that the spell is invalid, this is the only guy Pei Jingxing and Su Yan can defend themselves.

To be cautious, Pei Jingxing randomly picked something from the camel and threw it in the sand.After waiting for a while, he saw that there was no abnormality in the sand, so he jumped off the camel.

Pei Jingxing raised his hand to hold Su Yan's leg, and said, "Don't move around, I won't go far."

Su Yan knew that he must not add any extra burden to Pei Jingxing right now, so he nodded and continued to stay on the camel.

Pei Jingxing took two steps forward, but was surrounded by yellow sand and gravel without any signs of life.

And the ancient city was right in front of them, quietly waiting for their entry.
