Chapter 234 The Legend of the Flame Beast
A goshawk soared in the sky full of yellow sand, passing through layers of yellow clouds and mist, and entered the extreme east desert from the East Desert Oasis.
Zhang Xiaodao and Nalanchu sat side by side at the front of the car, tilting their necks together at the yellow sky, as if they were looking forward to something.
Nalan Chu's eyes were spinning around the sky, with cunning in his agility, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find the target. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Zhang Xiaodao, are you sure you don't pick up the bow and arrow now. If the prey appears, you can really shoot it?"
Zhang Xiaodao said affirmatively: "I am a sharpshooter, I'm a slasher." But he didn't lower his head and still looked at the sky.
Nalan Chu reluctantly believed Zhang Xiaodao and continued to look up at the sky. After a while, they both discovered the goshawk soaring in the sky.
The goshawk above the desert was just a black dot and was flashing rapidly, and the speed was obviously very rapid.
Nalan Chu didn't believe that Zhang Xiaodao could shoot it down so accurately, but just as he was about to speak, a "whoosh" sound came from his ear.
The sound was not loud, nor was it sharp. It was just a sound of breaking through the air naturally. But she felt a chill in her heart, and a cold feeling made her goose bumps all over her body.
Arrows climbed straight into the sky, flashing to the top of the yellow sand all over the sky at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.
In Nalanchu's pupils, the originally extremely fast black dot suddenly stopped and then began to fall, and countless feathers rose out, and gradually its outline became particularly clear.
Zhang Xiaodao identified a direction and drove forward. Under his urging, Camel accelerated the speed and dragged out two wheel marks in the desert.
Two wheel seals headed straight to the east. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaodao accurately found his prey, which was a goshawk with flesh wings spreading half a foot long.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled with satisfaction and was about to use the goshawks to improve food, but found that Nalan Chu's expression was a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Nalan Chu looked at the desert high slope not far away, jumped out of the car with Zhang Xiaodao, and said, "There should be the Fire Desert over there."
Zhang Xiaodao was a little confused, so he picked up his prey and climbed up the higher sand slope not far away with Nalan Chu. Then he looked down and was so surprised that he could no longer stop talking.
The vast earth is full of cracks, like red magma in the depths of the ground, bulging the surface into dense scars.
Because the high temperature inside the ground is mostly black in color, countless sand particles rolled up by the wind stick to the bloodline that seems to be the earth, turning into charred stains, which look dense and terrifying.
Although Zhang Xiaodao had some understanding of all aspects of the Western Regions before coming to the Western Regions, he did not know about the so-called Fire Desert.
"Have you heard the legend here?" Nalan Chu asked softly.
Zhang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Listen with your ears."
Nalan Chu hesitated for a moment and began to tell the legend here.
"The old people say that there was no fire desert in the far east desert a hundred years ago, and its appearance was extremely abrupt. It seemed that in just one night, people passing by here discovered this place."
"Later, some people speculated that it was the duel of the supreme master of the supernatural power realm that triggered the change here, and some people speculated that the ancient spirit beast fell here."
Zhang Xiaodao knew that Nalan Chuyi had never been a person who was willing to tell stories. Since there must be a later text when talking about this matter, he listened silently to the story and looked at the strange scene in front of him, thinking about the shocking battle of the barefoot monk north of Shengjing. He soon felt that this should not be done by a master of the magical power realm.
Heaven and earth have rules, and there are certain numbers. Experts in the supernatural power realm can use their vitality as the medium of heaven and earth to display incredible magical powers in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, they absolutely cannot influence a desert environment for so long for thirty or forty years.
Just as he was thinking about whether the spirit beast was possible, Nalan Chu said: "The Nalan family is one of the business travelers who witnessed the birth of this desert."
Zhang Xiaodao was stunned, but heard Nalan Chu continue: "Later, his ancestors gave me some advice. The Nalan family has been doing business for generations to find the secrets of this desert."
Zhang Xiaodao asked: "Secret? Is there any basis for the Nalan family?"
Nalan Chu said: "Show it to you later."
At this moment, Zhang Xiaodao saw someone coming from the charred soil at the end of his vision.
The two of them immediately lowered their bodies. They lay in the sand. Zhang Xiaodao raised his eyes and looked at them intently. They found that the team of more than a hundred people was moving in a scattered manner, as if searching for something. They couldn't help but whisper: "It seems that it's not just your Nalan family who don't give up."
Nalan Chu did not speak, Zhang Xiaodao went down the sand slope and shook the sand on his body and said, "Let's go, we'd better cause less trouble."
Nalan Chu nodded, retreated, and said, "Let's avoid it for a while. Let's go tonight."
Zhang Xiaodao agreed. The two of them pulled the eagle back to the car, but they did not dare to get angry that the fire improved their food. They drove back the same way, preparing to bypass the fire desert and continue to go east.
At this time, Nalan Chu sat next to Zhang Xiaodao with the package again, took out a round and bulging object the size of a palm and handed it to Zhang Xiaodao.
Zhang Xiaodao opened the light blue rag and saw a stone.
A wisp of magma flowed on the surface of the stone, holding it warm in the hands, and it looked extremely magical.
He asked, "What is this?"
"The reason why Nalan's ancestors established the ancestral teachings was because some people said they had seen a fire beast in that fire desert. People said he was crazy, but he took out the stone."
"At that time, the Nalan family was also a family of cultivators in the Western Regions. They were very concerned about such ancient spirit beasts, believing that the spirit beasts must be an opportunity given by God to the Nalan family to rise."
"Later, the Nalan family discovered many clues, which indirectly proved the existence of the ancient flame beast, but they could not find a way to go underground again."
Zhang Xiaodao's expression was frozen, and he naturally knew what the spirit beast meant to the practitioner.
The little monk Fayi once merged with spirits, but his whole body is so hard that it is invincible, as if he is sanctified by the body. The object of his spiritual fusion is a thousand-year-old black turtle, which is obviously not the same level as the ancient flame beast.
No wonder the Nalan family is so enthusiastic. If there were indeed people from the Nalan family who successfully merged the spirit, it would have caused the spirit beasts in the desert to exist in the century-old fire zone, and they would become the most popular figures in the Western Regions.
Although he was shocked, Zhang Xiaodao always felt that money was not considered money in his hands. If the baby didn't enter his pocket, it was not a treasure, but it was just a fantasy of people. That's all the big cake hanging on his lips.
"Do you want to go and look for it?" Zhang Xiaodao looked at Nalan Chu.
Nalan Chu shook his neat short hair and said, "I'm not so bored, but I really want to know what I can do when I went to Shengtang?"
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "I won't sell you to a brothel, don't worry."
Nalan Chu has been walking alone in the desert with Zhang Xiaodao these days, and has long been used to the boring words that always pop up from time to time on his mouth. He didn't mind just thinking about the people just now and said, "But no one has searched here again for a long time. Did they find something?"
Zhang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this matter. My first task at the moment is to take you back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and arrange a livelihood for you."
“What kind of livelihood.”
"Is it good to sell tofu? Maybe you are the next generation of the Empress of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I can hold your thighs in the future."
Nalan Chu didn't know the legendary story of Douhua and the Queen, so he shook the bracelet on Baixi's hand and said, "Is Douhua delicious? I have heard of it?"
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and said, "It's delicious. But the food in the Tang Dynasty is profound and profound. This is just a snack. When I arrive in Shengjing, I will take you to a banquet, so you will be very eye-opening."
"Okay." Nalan Chu replied neatly, and after a while, he spoke again: "By the way, Zhang Xiaodao. I don't know how to speak the Tang Dynasty. You have to teach me if you take the time."
"That's right, let's start now."
"Something simple first."
"Hello."
"Hello." Nalan Chu said, speaking extremely stiffly.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
"You stupid girl."
Nalan Chu followed and said, "You stupid girl."
Zhang Xiaodao corrected in Western dialect: "No, you want to talk to me."
Nalan Chu didn't understand why, but after listening to Zhang Xiaodao's correction, he said, "I'm a fool."
Zhang Xiaodao suppressed his smile and Nalan Chu asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "You stupid girl."
Seeing the meaning of Zhang Xiaodao's expression. Understanding that this is not a good thing, Nalan Chu said angrily: "Zhang Xiaodao, are you too bored!"
Zhang Xiaodaoha urged Camel while laughing and leaning back and forth.
…………
Under the scorching sun, the old man like a mummy raised his cheeks, and the hot light illuminated the wrinkles on his face like a knife. He inexplicably remembered the old man in the courtyard holding up a huge hammer and killing his relatives a few days ago. Suddenly, he remembered the memories he had never remembered for many years.
Of course, the old man also had relatives, but most of those relatives died in his hands. The picture looked like an old man holding a hammer in the courtyard and holding tears.
But he did not want to keep a secret when he killed his relatives back then. But because he wanted to survive and survived the famine, he had to do whatever he wanted!
Thinking about the cruel scenes of the past and feeling the warmth of the poisonous sunshine on his cheeks, the old man sighed, shook his head, and a rare helplessness appeared on his expression.
But the helplessness flashed through the next breath, and the old man returned to his previous appearance, took a step to the highest sand slope in the far east desert, looking into the distance.
A car pulled by two camels came into view, with a man and a woman sitting side by side with the front of the car. The man was telling something with a smile. The woman pretended to be cold as ice, but couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising, as if she was about to laugh out loud.
