The next morning, the three of them woke up in the desert.

In the early morning desert, the flames have not yet hit, and I just feel cool.

The fox and Caili lay side by side on the edge of the dead grass, facing their backs to them, watching what they were eating.

But the dry food of several people was almost finished.

"This place is too hot, and the horses are going to be so hot that they don't have anything to eat, so it's not advisable to stay for a long time." Luo Seng moved his body, "The rat demon has been eliminated. We should leave earlier while the sun is not high."

"rational."

"The Taoist priest intends to find the Thousand-year-old snow lotus?"

"Go back to the capital." Lin Jue thought for a night and made a decision, "Let it go."

On the one hand, I refuted my seniors and said that I had come early and the time had not yet come, so Lin Jue naturally trusted my seniors and refuted me.

On the other hand, I am not here alone now. The junior sister is willing to accompany me, which is a friendship for many years. Needless to say, Mr. Luo is willing to accompany me here, but it is a chivalrous feeling. Lin Jue can't take him to find his thousand-year-old snow lotus, or say it to make him embarrassed.

Since I refuted the seniors that the Thousand Years of Snow Lotus is in the south and I will walk southeast when I return to the capital, so let it go.

If that doesn't work, I'll come back next time.

By that time, maybe all other materials have been collected, and I have decided to learn other ways of traveling, so I will not be so hard when I come back.

"Xiaohua, Fuyao, what are you eating?"

The young junior sister held a sword and patted the dust on her body.

The two little ones heard the movement and turned around and stared at them with a simple and innocent look on their faces.

Among them, Caili also has a small piece of snake tail in her mouth.

"You two, you can't starve you to death wherever you go." Lin Jue said to them with a funny look.

Not long after, the group boarded the road and returned.

The three horses were shaking, and the elegant white fox was particularly compatible with the desert dunes. When walking, Lin Jue couldn't help but look at it.

"I'm afraid it's 6,000 miles back to the capital here. We can only get supplies along the business road," said Luo Seng. "According to my estimate, it will take more than ten days to enter the pass."

"Mr. Luo seems to be quite familiar with this place?"

"Our ancestors once guarded the northwest for the imperial court, and later settled their homes in the northwest pass, and were also considered to be from the northwest."

"No wonder, no wonder." Lin Jue walked behind Luo Seng, knowing that he couldn't see it, but he also bowed to him, "It's really thanks to Luo Gong along the way."

"Where can you walk around in the world?"

"Is the Western Regions still stable now?"

"I am unstable. When I leave my hometown and go to Beijing, I am unstable. Not only are there often riots on the border, but the countries in the Western Regions have long stopped taking the Central Plains dynasty seriously. They only obey in name only. In fact, they should do whatever they should do. What they fear is that they still have the remaining power in history in the decades of the dynasty."

Luo Seng paused and shook his head:

"It's okay inside the pass, but it's even more chaotic outside the pass."

"How to say it?"

"These small countries in the Western Regions lack laws and regulations. They attack each other only depends on the feelings of princes and nobles, and do not pay attention to etiquette and laws. This is even more true for monsters and ghosts, and there are no gods to control them. I heard that in some places, the people of the whole country do not follow the kings of the human world, but monsters, and even the entire country is a ranch for monsters."

"ah?"

The junior sister was originally petting a cat, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this.

"But there is no need to be so surprised. They are already vast and sparsely populated, and the country is not large. Many countries are just one city." Luo Seng said, "These monsters may not be more powerful than the crocodile. If they were not in the heart of the Central Plains, the crocodile might be more rampant than them."

"So that's how it is."

After walking for two days, I walked onto the business road.

Thanks to Fuyao and Caili hunting along the way, one caught some wild sheep and hares, and the other caught some lizards and gerbils, all of which were full of meat.

I walked another day before I saw a figure.

It was a long list of caravans, including camels, mules and horses, more than a dozen people, twenty or thirty animals, and took the goods from the west to the east.

The endless desert wind and sand, and the people walking silently, are at noon, and the heat distorted the world, and they have a silent visual impact, which is undoubtedly a picture that the junior sister and the fox have never seen before.

The three of them looked at them.

However, the team of traders was also surprised to see them.

Two Taoist robes, a bearded knight dressed in Central Plains, and a white fox, all of them felt extraordinary no matter how you look at it.

"Everyone..."

Luo Seng slowly rode his horse over.

"Can we know where to replenish our supplies? We have finished eating our food and drinking the water."

The man didn't say anything, but just took out a hard pancake from his arms and threw it to Luo Seng, pointing to the front.

"Thank you."

Luo Seng came back and distributed the pancakes to the two of them, and said to them: "It is their habit to rush to the desert and not speak easily, but there should be supplies in front of you."

"Um."

The group followed them.

I haven't walked very far, there is indeed supplies ahead.

It is a large freshwater lake with a shed next to it and selling some dry and hard cakes, like a tea stall next to the official road of the Central Plains.

Everyone went to replenish the water and let the animals drink water.

The team of merchants took a few sips of water and saw that they were still by their side. Then they spoke to them and asked, "Where are the two Taoist priests?"

"Heizhou native."

"That's going far enough."

"yes."

"You three?"

"yes."

"It's not peaceful here during this period." The merchant kindly reminded them, "You should be careful." "Why is it a bad way to be peaceful?" Lin Jue asked.

"There are often small countries fighting each other here, and there are often bandits. Forget it, there are monsters." Xingshang said, "It is said that there are monsters in front that can drive bears and wolves to hunt passers-by on the road. You'd better not stay overnight on the road and follow the road, and it's better not to encounter that monster."

"Driving the bear and wolf?"

Lin Jue became interested.

"Yes, there was a team of Da Shang in Longzhou who happened to catch up with the most rampant monster. He brought some skilled warriors from the local area as guards. He thought he could go through that journey with peace of mind, but he was still injured by the monster on the road. Alas, the soul returned to the frontier and could not return home. It was uneasy if he died. I heard that he turned into a lonely ghost on the side of the road. It was really miserable that the merchants who walked on the night road met them."

When Luo Seng heard about it next to him, his eyebrows immediately stood up:

"What happened?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

"That's Luo's fellow countryman." Luo Seng said.

"Where does the hero come from?"

"Longzhou, Yubi County."

"That's really a fellow countryman." said the merchant, "but we were also reminded by other merchants. Since we met on the roadside, I'll remind you again."

"Thank you!"

"By the way, the three of you guys didn't go to business, how did you get here?"

Luo Seng and his junior sister both looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue replied truthfully: "We chase a demon and come here."

"Chasing a demon?"

Xing Shang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two Taoists, the vicious warrior, and the white fox who licked water by the lakeside beside him and disliked the horse, and pushed the horse around him into the distance. Then he realized that these people should not be ordinary Taoist priests and warriors.

"The Taoist priest can do magic?"

"It's certainly a little."

"That villain dares to ask for a talisman!"

"It's not that I don't want to hide it, but that I really don't have the ability." Lin Jue said with a smile, "But if you have the chance to meet that monster, it really wants to eat people, we are willing to fight it."

It didn't take long for both sides to part. Although they walked along the same road, they were fast and slow, naturally one in front and one in the back.

Taoist and martial artists walk lightly and simply, walking in front.

It didn't take long before it left the desert.

It's getting closer to dusk.

The sunset every day is so gorgeous.

The three of them did not stop, but admired them on the horse's back, and did not follow the advice of the merchants. They found a supply point early, but continued to move forward while the sunset was shining.
