Hot as China, cold as snow

53 Sand World Ruins

The yellow sand all over the sky flew up with the wind, and the scorching sun scorched the earth.A white horse appeared very eye-catchingly at the edge of the desert. Liu Moran's white clothes had already been stained with yellow dust, and his light blue hair was still bright in the sun.

On the edge of the desert, there is a small town, the town is not big, and there is also a place similar to Longmen Inn, although it is not big, it has all internal organs.A little drought-resistant short grass vegetation is scattered around the village, which reduces the loss of sand and soil, and protects the village from the danger of being submerged by the desert.

This is the last barrier to enter the sand world, and it is also the junction of the Shunhui Empire and the Chengtian Empire, but now the two countries have merged into one country called the Chengtian Empire, which has become more and more prosperous under Liu Jinan's governance. It has become an important corridor for economic and cultural exchanges.Liu Moran, who has been here more than once, is very familiar with the road here.

"Xiao Er, fill up the water." Liu Moran took out several water bags and silver taels that he had prepared and threw them to the inn's Xiao Er.This time when he came to the sand world and had the experience from last time, Liu Moran thought he was smart enough to bring some necessary supplies on the road, and he didn't prepare anything if he didn't dare to act bravely.He looked at the red fox Hua Xi who was lying quietly on his shoulder, and asked Xiao Er to order some meat.

One person, one horse and one fox, this combination is very conspicuous on the road, Liu Moran's blue hair has also become a symbol, he did not deliberately cover up the color of his hair, just walked all the way like this.He knew how powerful the information and intelligence capabilities of Suominglou were, and he also knew that Leng Xuanren would definitely find him. He remembered that Senior Qu Wu said that if there is a destiny, the two will overcome all obstacles and will be together in the end.Is that person really his lover?Will Tao Fuxing make the same mistakes?Will there be a blue spirit fox among them, which will become an eternal barrier.These things, Liu Moran doesn't know, so just let it go!

Revisiting the old place, the memory floods back like a flood, but things are different, and there is no cold black blade.Liu Moran knew that this unexcavated road across the sand world was not long, and it would take three days to walk to death, so he chose his trusty horse, Shining Ting, and did not prepare a camel for the desert boat.

According to the route he vaguely remembered before, Liu Moran took some effort to lock a piece of land.It is very likely that it is the place where the stone slab with the imprint of the Ziwei tribe that I met when I traveled through the sand world with Leng Xuanren last time.If Liu Moran's guess is correct, there is a ruin, a ruin that was recorded in "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records". If he is lucky, Liu Moran may be able to find out the secret of the statue of the Ziwei clan in this ruins.

The sand in the sand world moves with time and storms. There is no sign here that can be used as a reference. The specific location of the Ziwei clan site has not been found at all. Liu Moran's sensitive nerves helped him again, relying on intuition Explore the land.

Under the scorching sun, Liu Moran picked up the only weapon on his body, the Soul Binding Hundred Refinement Rope, flung it away vigorously, swept away the sand deposited on the ground, and slowly squatted down to grope inch by inch, but unfortunately there was nothing, under this depth , did not touch the hard bluestone slab.Liu Moran sighed, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun as big as a millstone in the sky, then stood up, and Shan Ting followed behind Liu Moran step by step, wanting to go deeper.

The red fox Hua Xi, who had been lying on Liu Moran's shoulder without moving for a long time, suddenly poked his head out, looked around, moved his sensitive nose, and straightened up in a defensive state.Liu Moran stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and looked towards the direction where the red fox Hua Xi was defending. There was a black spot approaching there, and it was getting closer and closer.One person and one horse, Liu Moran gradually saw who was coming, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Leng Xuanyan turned over and got off the horse, and stood beside Liu Moran: "You are really adventurous, there is no way, who told me to put you on the side of a lover who is free and easy." He stretched out his hand to caress Liu Moran. Mo Ran's lips were cracked due to thirst: "You still don't know how to take care of yourself."

"What are you doing here?" Liu Moran asked knowingly.

"Take you home!"

"Then what if I don't want to?"

"Then I will hold your hand, accompany you to where you want to go, accompany you to accomplish what you want to accomplish, and then let you have a shoulder to rely on when you want to stop the ship at the port, and give you A home, for me, is home where you are. No matter what, I will take you home in the end." Leng Xuanren embraced Liu Moran according to his heart, but he obediently did not refuse: "Daominglou You don't care anymore?"

"Give it away." Leng Xuanren said: "Then what do you want to do now? I will accompany you."

"Then he is really out of luck. The Desperate Building is actually a real trouble." Liu Moran leaned on Leng Xuanyan's chest, and because of his height, he rubbed against Leng Xuanren's face as soon as he raised his head, The beard hung on his face stiffly: "That's good, you can accompany me to find the ruins of the Ziwei tribe I met last time!" The two met again as if they had discussed it, and neither of them mentioned the unpleasant conversation last time , did not mention Lan Linghu.

Leng Xuanren chuckled lightly: "Okay, you are really willful. In fact, many people covet the Murder Tower, don't you know?"

Liu Moran pushed him away with an idiot look in his eyes: "Those people are asking for trouble, but if it was Yexuan, they would definitely build a bigger building. Let's go." Walking ahead, under the scorching sun, a head of blue hair flew up with the wind, dotted in the yellow sand sea, like a fluttering butterfly, haloing an orange halo.

One moment was still so beautiful, but the next moment she stepped into the land of death.One foot in heaven and one foot in hell.Quicksand is the most dangerous natural disaster in the desert.It was a moving sand sea. Liu Moran stepped into the quicksand with one foot, and there was no way to rely on it. People relied on gravity to slide into the sand. Hua Xi was the first to react and jumped from Liu Moran's shoulder. Arrived on a safe land and bit Liu Moran's sleeve tightly, but the weight of the red fox couldn't stop Liu Moran's downward trend due to inertia.Fortunately, Leng Xuanren held Liu Moran's hand outside the sand boundary, but the edge of the sand boundary was not stable and was expanding outward.Liu Moran stared at Leng Xuanyan affectionately, and at the last moment wanted to open his mouth to tell Leng Xuanyan to let go and run for his life, but his mouth was full of sand, and he couldn't open his mouth at all, and a lot of sand got into his nasal cavity, and he would suffocate if he continued like this. If you die, a mummy will appear here after many years.At the moment Liu Moran lost consciousness, he only thought of killing Leng Xuanyan.

Leng Xuanren squinted his eyes to see that Liu Moran's falling trend could not be stopped at all, he gritted his teeth, turned over and hugged Liu Moran and fell into the sea of ​​sand together.Even if it is death, we must die together.

The surrounding sand quickly submerged the two people, and the two fell into darkness due to suffocation.Leng Xuanren thought, fortunately he held your hand.

Liu Moran was lying on the stone slab in the dark room with no light at all, but felt his face was cool, and something was brushing back and forth, which was very comfortable.Reluctantly opening his eyes, in the darkness, he saw a pair of eyes that were as bright as black stones. Liu Moran was taken aback. After seeing it clearly, he realized that it was the red fox Hua Xi who had been licking him with his tongue.Liu Moran looked around, there was no quicksand around, and he couldn't even find any shadow of sand, only then did he realize that under the quicksand was an unsearchable site.

"Lengxuanyan." Liu Moran suddenly thought of him. At that time, he was pulling his sleeves, and he didn't know if he fell in this place like himself. He patted the head of the red fox Hua Xi, stood up and shouted: "Leng Xuanyan." Xuanren, where are you?" There were bursts of echoes coming from the well-closed place.

Leng Xuanyan, who fell not far away, seemed to be awakened by the sound, slowly woke up and sat up, and said softly: "Of course." Liu Muran turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Leng Xuanren, who was not far away from him, and then clicked. The son ran over, took his hand, and asked eagerly, "How is it, where is the injury?"

"No, are you okay?"

Liu Moran shook his head and stood up together with Leng Xuanjian.Seeing him Anhao, Leng Xuanren looked around and asked, "Where is this? It's the place you were looking for."

"Well, it should be. "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" records this place, and every fixed moment, the mechanism will operate, and the quicksand on it should be caused by hesitation just in time for this mechanism operation." Liu Moran, After walking a few steps forward, he paused and said, "We came in, but we don't know how to get out, Leng Xuanren, why do you like me? You should hate me, always causing you trouble."

Leng Xuanyan opened his arrogant and confident evil eyes, curled up his lips, looked at Liu Moran's back and said with a picky tone: "You only know that you are always causing trouble, I have been chasing you for a long time. You are ready for that moment. Liu Moran, you are the most unique existence in the world, and you are the only one in this world who can do this casually. It is because of you that you are not afraid of trouble. If you can't be born in the same year and the same month, you will die the same Holes are good too."

Liu Moran turned around and raised his toes to look at Leng Xuanyan, and reached out his hand in time to stop Leng Xuanyan's words: "Don't forget that the two of us are the most likely to survive when we are together." Gently took Liu Moran's hand and led him forward.

Leng Xuanyan knew that in the first 20 years of Liu Moran's life, he was always bound by too many responsibilities. Now that he can live a casual life without these, how much Liu Moran cherishes and yearns for it, so this is the most important thing. the real him.

Liu Moran followed closely behind, and the red fox Hua Xi also followed closely.In the darkness, Liu Moran said: "Let me lead the way! There is a mechanism here." Liu Moran broke away from the hands holding each other, groped in the darkness to find something that could burn, and took it out from his arms. Huozhezi ignited it, and a circular halo lit up around it.

Go straight down one of the tunnels until you see a huge door.The door is tightly closed, the edge of the door is an orderly curve, and there is a very bright flower blooming in the center. If you look closely, you can see that the pattern is the same as the birthmark on Liu Mo's shoulder, which is the crape myrtle flower.As if attracted, Liu Muran unconsciously traced the pattern on the door with his hands until he reached the flower in the middle.The flowers on the stone gate are not flat, there are some small invisible tooth patterns on the edges of the petals, Liu Moran didn't defend himself, and his fingertips were scratched by the sharp and sharp tooth patterns like barbs.

Liu Moran frowned, and the blood flowed down along the outline of the crape myrtle flower. A hot feeling burned in his heart. Liu Moran's fingers seemed to be stuck to it. There was a kind of magic that made him not put down his fingers, but along the Press the outline of the flower on the center of the crape myrtle flower.

The door creaked and opened slowly. The mechanism on the door needs to be opened by a person with the blood of Ziwei.The moment the door was opened, the lights illuminated the entire secret room. The avenue in the middle led directly to the altar. Behind the altar was a dark wall, and five coffins were placed on the four sides above the circular altar.There are deep rectangular pits on both sides of the avenue. Liu Moran walked towards the altar along the avenue in the middle as if he had received magic power, followed closely by Leng Xuanren and the red fox Hua Xi.

Looking at the pits on both sides, they are all corpses, and there are no corpses in place. The whole tomb is simple to build, and the coffin is the most common. There are no special funeral objects. Everything like this is revealing that this is a hasty The built tombs, or group tombs, what is the reason that so many people died overnight?What is the reason for the builders to bury this mass grave in such a haste, and did not even bury the lost people according to the proper etiquette?

Stepping on the central avenue in the middle like a bridge that acts as a link, every step of Liu Moran seemed so heavy. He vaguely felt that he was about to discover an unopened history, and opened the "Miscellaneous Records of Ziwei" The secret in the missing page.After walking this road, passing countless corpses on both sides, Liu Moran stepped onto the round altar, and walked to the coffins placed on the four sides of the altar, with a few notes on them telling almost the same story.

Nothing less than war and death.The breath here is filled with deep heaviness and suffocating sadness.

Liu Muran moved every inch of his footsteps, and numbly stepped into the center of the altar, on which were painted the same crape myrtle flowers as those on the gate, changing and shining colorful colors under the light.

One step is heaven, one step is hell.
