Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

When Di Qing woke up, he was sweating profusely and didn't know where he was for a while. He remembered that he had many dreams, crying and laughing, blood and tears in the dreams.But what impressed him the most was a bizarre dream. In the dream, he was in a grotto, looking around blankly.The four walls of the grotto are all ancient paintings, all of which are Buddha statues.The Buddha statues are all slim and graceful, and the wreaths are solemn. It's just that these Buddha statues are faceless, facing him coldly. He has seen such a Buddha statue before, when he was in the Xuan Palace of Yongding Mausoleum, he had seen such a Buddha statue - a Buddha statue without a face, but the grotto in the dream is obviously not the Xuan Palace!

Suddenly, the grotto caught fire. I don't know where the fire came from, the endless fire!The fire melted the head of the Buddha statue.The head began to bend and deform, and suddenly turned into Shinjong's face. Zhenzong had his eyes closed, but when Di Qing looked over, he suddenly opened them and said two words, "Come on!" Even in a dream, Di Qing couldn't help being terrified when he saw Zhenzong open his eyes. bring it on?where to go Just when Zhenzong opened his eyes, Di Qing suddenly woke up, everything disappeared, and he had gone from dream to reality.When Di Qing was in a trance, he thought that he had heard the voice "Come on" in two dreams.Once in prison, and the other time after being seriously injured and unconscious...

Thinking of this, Di Qing felt pain all over his body, couldn't help groaning, and opened his eyes. A ray of light shone through the screen window and fell on Di Qing's face.Suddenly seeing the dazzling light, Di Qing couldn't help closing his eyes a little. The air is a little dry, and the sun is not as deserted as winter, but rather as hot as early summer.When Di Qing felt this, he didn't feel comfortable, but almost jumped up. He suddenly felt unbelievable, and even had some unspeakable fear! Everything suddenly came back to his mind. He remembered that he was injured, and he was plotted by King Bodhi. At the last moment, he strangled King Bodhi with all his strength. Seeing King Bodhi's panicked expression, he felt something in his heart. Unspeakable pleasure.

He even heard the sound of King Bodhi's bones breaking.At that time, Di Qing only wanted to let the two brothers escape for their lives. He who was seriously injured was definitely no match for King Bodhi, but before that, Sima Buqun was dead?Thinking of this, Di Qing felt a sharp pain in his heart, Sima died for him. It was because of Sima's death that his remaining potential was stimulated. He also remembered that he was shot in the chest by King Bodhi's dust-free gun. It was a fatal shot. Didn't he die?So how is Pingyuan Village now? How is Ge Zhenyuan?But the most important point is that it was winter!

At that time, Xueer fluttered, although it was very cold, but it was not as cold as the warm weather made Di Qing feel cold. He looked through the window, only to see the blue sky was like washing, and the warm sun was hanging, it was a sunny day.When he realized this, he was a little terrified. Could it be that he had slept for several months in this dream?Or is he now in a dream and the memory is reality? Looking away, there was a bronze mirror beside him, Di Qing squinted over, his heart suddenly thumped. In the bronze mirror, there was a haggard and deep face, but the man's complexion was extremely dark, and the tattoos on his face had disappeared.It wasn't Di Qing who was reflected in the mirror!

Di Qing clearly knew that the person reflected in the mirror must be himself, and he could imagine the horror he felt when he saw the mirror image.Is he Di Qing? Why is the silhouette of the mirror image similar, but the face is different? Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, is it not a butterfly or me? When Di Qing thought of Zhuang Zhou, he felt pain all over his body, and at the same time felt some bumps under his body.Only then did he realize that the environment he was in was also constantly moving, and the initial confusion and horror finally dissipated, and Di Qing realized that he was in a carriage.

He wanted to sit up, but his body was as stiff as a zombie, and he barely squinted away, only to find that he was bandaged like a mummy, and at the same time, there was a strong smell of medicine on his body, like the medicine used to embalm a buried corpse . What is going on now? With the wind blowing, the car stopped slowly and the curtains were lifted.A dry hand reached out to Di Qing's eyes and touched Di Qing's forehead. At this moment, a hand came over suddenly, Di Qing was bold and sweating a little.But after a while, he realized that the hand was just trying to feel the heat and cold on his forehead, and then slowly retracted.

With the help of the bronze mirror, Di Qing finally discovered that it was an old man who got into the car.He wanted to ask, but felt that his voice was still hoarse, so he just snorted, and the old man had already got out of the carriage with a stooped body. After a while, the old man was holding a porcelain bowl filled with thick medicinal juice.Before Di Qing could speak, the medicinal juice had already reached Di Qing's mouth.Di Qing could only drink medicine, and immediately said after drinking, "Old man, you saved me?" Seeing that Di Qing could speak, the old man was overjoyed on his withered face, but shook his head and said "ahhh" twice.He had a weird voice, and he didn't speak the Central Plains dialect. Di Qing didn't understand what he was talking about at all.Waiting to ask again, the old man has already got off the car.

The carriage moved again, and a song of vicissitudes and desolation came from the front of the carriage. In that singing voice, it was full of Xiao Xiao Meng Meng's meaning, and also a little sad and emotional. Di Qing recognized that it was the old man's voice, but he couldn't hear what he was singing, the singing was mixed with horse neighing, Di Qing already understood that the old man was a coachman.He drank the medicine and felt much better. Although he was full of confusion, he was tired and fell asleep again amidst the singing. For a few days like this, Di Qing's health improved day by day, but he couldn't speak to the old man, and he still didn't know what happened.On this day, Di Qing could barely move his hands and feet, heard the sound of the car curtain, and sighed, "Where is this place?"

He was in the car all day, only seeing the wind and moon outside the window, and he didn't know where he was at all.The only thing he can be sure of is that it is summer, and he has been in a coma for several months?He didn't expect the old man to reply, he didn't want a voice as cold as a spring to come over, "This is Dijinze!" Di Qing was overjoyed, looked up and was surprised again. Not far in front of him, there was a gleaming blue face, full of ferocity. Di Qing restrained himself, looked over again, and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the man was wearing a bronze mask, and Di Qing knew that the mask belonged to him.

Who is it?Why is he wearing his mask? Di Jinze?Di Qing thought to himself, he heard from the merchants in Saixia that Dijin Ze was originally the territory of the party members, more than 300 miles north of Xiazhou, because of the abundant water and grass, it is now as prosperous as Xiazhou, and it is a good place to do business place. How could he suddenly come to such a far place from Pingyuan Village? While Di Qing was thinking, he was also looking at the man wearing the mask. He saw that the man was frail, and his voice sounded like a woman's, although it was cold. Is this person a woman? There was nothing unusual about the woman's body, the only thing that was a little special was that she was wearing a blue ribbon. The ribbon is as blue as the sea and as clean as the sky. That ribbon touched Di Qing's past memory, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the man's eyes.Although the mask is ferocious, the eyes behind the mask are like splashed ink landscape. Those were eyes that he would never forget in his life. "You are... Feixue?" Di Qing was a little hesitant and even a little surprised, but he recognized the person in front of him just by his eyes. The woman wearing the mask was silent for a while, then slowly took off the mask on her face, revealing an unremarkable face.But her eyes are always so black and white, like ink painting.She looked at Di Qing quietly and said, "You guessed it right." That woman is Feixue! How could it be Feixue? How could Feixue save him?How could Feixue have the ability to save him?Why does Feixue always have a mysterious and unpredictable aura? The directness at the beginning, the mystery later, and the erraticness of the capital... and now he saved him. Flying snow is like snow in cold winter... Flying erratically, the mind is elusive.She and Di Qing had nothing to do with each other, but there seemed to be some entangled relationship. After some time, Di Qing recovered from the shock, and asked hesitantly, "You saved me?" Feixue said calmly: "I met you on the road. At that time, you were dying and would die at any time. Your subordinate Ge Zhenyuan asked me to save you, and I saved you." She said it simply, Di Qing could not Don't continue to ask, "Then Ge Zhenyuan asked you to take me away? Where are you taking me now?" Di Qing was very surprised, why did Ge Zhenyuan hand him over to Feixue with confidence?Does Ge Zhenyuan know Feixue?It suddenly occurred to me that Feixue had said in Bianjing, "You won't agree even if you say so. You can't even leave Bianjing now, so why would you go to thousands of mountains and rivers with me for nothing?" Now that he and Feixue have traveled thousands of miles, where does Feixue want to take him and what does Feixue want him to do? Feixue said calmly: "Ge Zhenyuan has no choice! I want to take you somewhere. You don't have to ask where to go right now. You owe me, and you are a person who knows how to repay you. Right now, you don't need to do anything So I thought, isn't it fair for you to agree to my condition?" Di Qing could only say: "It's fair. But you can only let me do things with a clear conscience..." He was only afraid that Feixue would force him to do things he didn't want to. Feixue said indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything at all. As long as you come to a place with me, there will be no relationship between you and me." Di Qing was even more surprised. He couldn't understand what Feixue was going to do even if he wanted to break his head.Suddenly remembered something, anxiously said: "How is Pingyuan Village now, has Yuan Hao withdrawn his troops?" Feixue gave Di Qing a three-word answer, "I don't know!" Di Qing was more puzzled if he didn't ask, but even more when he asked. Although his chest didn't hurt too much, his head hurt unavoidably.He remembered something again and asked, "How did I become what I am now?" He was referring to his own face. Feixue said lightly: "I used a tree sap called 'Nianhua' to help you wash your face. Your skin turned dark and your tattoos disappeared because of this." Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this is the territory of the party members, and it would be best to act in disguise.Di Qing asked again, "Then when can I regain my old appearance?" Feixue said: "It will recover naturally at that time." After she finished speaking, she jumped out of the car before Di Qing could say anything. Di Qing frowned, full of doubts. After a few more days like this, Di Qing could take off the bandages and get out of the car for a walk, but he did not leave after all.He was only in the car every day, listening to the old man humming an unknown song full of vicissitudes, but Feixue didn't know where he went. He just felt that the car kept moving slowly westward. On this day, we arrived at a bustling market.Feixue came again suddenly, and said to Di Qing: "I have already found a caravan, let them take us across the Mu Us Desert." Di Qing was startled, thinking what are you doing across the desert?But when he knew to ask, Feixue wouldn't say anything, just nodded. Feixue walked up to the old man and said a few words in a low voice. The old man's body trembled slightly, looking at Feixue with slightly cloudy old eyes, he was about to shed tears. Although Di Qing didn't understand their words, he also knew that the old man was very reluctant to part with Feixue.These days, he has been taken care of by the old man, and he is also very grateful for the old man's kindness.After Feixue finished speaking, she gently hugged the old man, turned and left, her expression was still calm, as if nothing in this world could move her. Di Qing felt a little strange, feeling that this woman was incomprehensible everywhere.But he bowed to the old man after all, and followed Feixue away. The old man watched Feixue go away, and sang that sad and desolate song again. For some reason, the face that has experienced many vicissitudes of life is already full of tears... Di Qing and Feixue arrived at a caravan, and there was a know-it-all called director in the caravan, who was in charge of all the contact matters of the caravan. The leader of the caravan was surnamed Zhao. Protect the caravan. There are men and women in the caravan, old and young, each with its own uniqueness.The only thing in common is that they are on guard against each other. After Di Qing and Feixue arrived at the caravan, no one paid attention to them except the director. The director prepared the necessary items for the two of them, and not long after the two of them arrived, the caravan of fifty or sixty people set off for the desert. After traveling for a day, the caravan entered the desert. Di Qing soon knew that the people in the caravan were going to Xingqing Mansion across the Muusuo Desert.Everyone here, except Di Qing and Feixue, brought private goods, mainly to avoid customs duties and prepare to make a fortune in Xingqing Mansion. This made Di Qing even more surprised. Since he and Feixue had no private goods, they didn't have to cross the desert to go to Xingqing Mansion.Could it be that... Feixue's destination is in the desert? Di Qing had never been to the desert, he had only heard people talk about the desert, but he suddenly discovered that those people's descriptions were far less than one-tenth of the real desert. The desert is like the sea, vast and vast.The desert, like June, is capricious.After only one day in the desert, Di Qing felt very hard.The wind and cold in the frontier is colder than the capital, but the hardships in the desert are far better than the frontier. There are endless sands, light yellow, dark yellow, and golden intertwined together. Under the setting sun, it is resplendent and magnificent.Di Qing was still thinking about Feixue's intentions, but soon, he was dizzy from being roasted, and he had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery or think about it. Sweat slowly seeped out and was dried instantly, but Di Qing found that his physical strength began to recover miraculously.Di Qing was looking forward to the cooler weather at night. But at night, Di Qing had even more headaches.The weather was cold, and the wind cut into the bones. Even if he was wrapped in a thick blanket, he could still feel the wind piercing in. In the middle of the night, Di Qing was resting near Feixue, and saw Feixue sitting alone in front of the tent, humming a song lonely. That song was sung by the old man driving the car, sung from Feixue's mouth, it was even more desolate in the vast desert.Di Qing really wanted to know what the song meant, but he didn't ask after all. Di Qing was wrapped in a blanket and grilling the bonfire, thinking about three things, "What is Feixue's intention? What is the situation in the Northwest? With such a weak body, I don't know if she can withstand the wind and cold in the desert?" In the early morning, the caravan continued to move forward, and Di Qing found that his worries were meaningless, and Feixue was even more energetic than him. Feixue's complexion did not change, her eyes were still full of energy. The sun rose quickly, scorching everything in the world, and the desert seemed to be turned into a sea of ​​flames. In this environment, everyone walked forward dully like the ghosts of purgatory. Everyone was withered and tired, only Feixue's eyes became brighter and brighter. The team had been traveling in the desert for three days, and Di Qing learned from the director that the caravan had begun to enter the hinterland of the desert. Trekking in the desert is extremely hard, and it often takes more than ten miles to conquer a road of one mile. Therefore, although the journey from Dijinze to Gyeongju is only a few hundred miles, it is still a long way for those who have entered the desert. There are thousands of miles to go. On this day, the sun was scorching, and Di Qing couldn't resist the scorching heat. He carefully moistened his throat with water. He knew that water was even more precious than gold at this time.Turning to look at Feixue, seeing that there was not a single drop of sweat on her forehead, Di Qing finally said, "Aren't you hot?" He found that the scorching sun didn't seem to have any effect on Feixue. Feixue said lightly: "If you don't want to be hot, you won't be hot." Di Qing couldn't understand what Feixue meant, so he was about to say something more, when suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he saw a sand dune in the distance.There was a groan... The caravan stopped, but others didn't seem to notice that person. Team leader Zhao ordered: "Take a break, and then continue on your way." Everyone propped up the tarpaulin to cover the fireball in the sky, but Di Qing got off his camel and walked towards the place where he was moaning.One person leaned helplessly on the sand dune, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were chapped and white. Seeing Di Qing approaching, the man said weakly, "Water...water..." No one from the caravan followed, and Di Qing suddenly realized that it wasn't that they didn't hear it, but they pretended not to see it. Without thinking too much about it, Di Qing took off his water bag and handed it to the man's mouth.He found that although the man was haggard, he was very young.The man drank the water greedily, Di Qing didn't feel sorry, but just looked at the man's shoes.The man's shoes were worn out a long time ago, but Di Qing vaguely recognized them because they were Song Jun's shoes, but there was no tattoo on the man's face... Could this man be Song Jun? Why did he cross the desert? After drinking the water, the young man struggled to stand up, grabbed Di Qing's sleeve, and begged, "Grandfather, who are you? I want to go to Xingqing Mansion! Please... take me, I beg you. " Before Di Qing could speak, Team Leader Zhao finally came over and said resolutely, "No!" Di Qing turned around and asked, "Why not?" Leader Zhao said indifferently: "If I say no, I won't. This is the rule of the caravan!" Holding the handle of the knife, he squinted at Di Qing.Here, leader Zhao's status is paramount! The young man let go of his hand, and took two steps back in disappointment, with anger in his eyes, but he stopped begging. Di Qing could tell that he was a very proud person. Di Qing said: "He also has a life, please show mercy..." Leader Zhao coldly interrupted Di Qing, "Do you know how many people die of thirst every year in this desert? The caravan carries limited water, if one more person drinks water, others will suffer from thirst, and even die of thirst. You can save him, but you have to get out of the caravan with him!" "Is this also the rule of the caravan?" Di Qing asked with a sigh. Team Leader Zhao squinted his eyes at Di Qing. He found that Di Qing was a little different from when he first joined the caravan, but he couldn't tell what the difference was. "This is my rule!" Di Qing looked at Feixue, and already wanted to use his own rules to solve the matter, but he didn't want to make things difficult for Feixue.Feixue was still very calm, just looking at the director. The director walked over and said with a smile: "Leader Zhao, it is indeed not suitable to save people at this time, but he is also pitiful. As the saying goes, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda' But building a pagoda also costs a lot of money .” The director said the last sentence while looking at Di Qing. The meaning of the director is obvious. Things that can be settled with money are not difficult. The trouble is... Di Qing doesn't have a penny on him. The young man was dressed in rags and had only an empty water bladder with him, and he obviously had no money. When Di Qing was in trouble, Feixue dropped four golden leaves and said simply: "Let's go." The golden leaves shone dazzlingly, even if they were thrown on the golden sand, they could be seen at a glance. Leader Zhao snorted coldly, kicked with his toes, and four golden leaves flew up.He swung the machete, and the gold leaf was attached to the blade.Leader Zhao slowly retracted the knife, took the gold leaf, and put it in his arms. His sword skills were as brilliant as gold, which dazzled everyone. Leader Zhao was elated when he saw everyone's fearful eyes.He was showing off, and he had to let everyone know that his team leader was worth their gold, and this was also his rule. "This person can join the caravan, but you have to provide the water and food yourself. And, if you like, you can also ride your camel for him." After leaving these two sentences, Team Leader Zhao walked away slowly. The corner of the mouth is mocking. The caravan set off again, and everyone began to trek again. Di Qing got off the camel, and before he could say anything, the young man said: "Grandfather, I can walk!" His feet were covered with blood blisters, and every step he took He was trembling with pain, but Di Qing could tell that the young man couldn't sit on his camel. Di Qing stopped insisting, and after walking for half a day, he asked, "Did you get it from it?" The young man's body trembled slightly, and he said after a long while, "Yes, did Engong also get it from it?" Di Qing nodded, and asked again, "Then you know... last winter... Yuan Hao invaded Yanzhou, what happened?" Even though he was far away in the desert, he still couldn't let go of everything in Yanzhou. The young man's body suddenly trembled violently, like Xiaoxiao Qiuye... Di Qing was a little strange, and didn't understand why he reacted so violently to the war situation in Yanzhou.Suddenly felt some palpitations, looked up, his face changed slightly. In the distance, the wind and sand are blowing, the yellow dust is rising, and the whistle is repeated.A group of people suddenly appeared from nowhere, rushed over and surrounded the caravan in a blink of an eye. Those people were all dressed in black clothes, holding long sabers, and the blades still carried a chill in the steaming desert. The one who came was a horse thief! They actually met the horse thief who caused the business travelers the most headaches in the desert! Everyone in the caravan became agitated when they saw the horse thief killing them. They all got off their camels consciously and formed a circle.They crouched next to the camels with their heads in their hands.This is the rule for merchants and bandits, as long as they don't resist, at least they can save their lives. Of course, Team Leader Zhao was responsible for the rebellion. Leader Zhao could tell at a glance that the opponent had five leaders, but the first one was obviously tricky.The man's head was square, and his face was like weathered rock, with scars criss-crossing it.The four people behind him also looked fierce, but compared to that person, they were even more obedient than watchdogs. Leader Zhao's heart sank, but he had to stand up, cupped his fists and said to the leading horse thief, "Rely on your parents at home, and friends when you go out. I have dealt with Big Brother Shiduo before, I don't know if you can get along with Big Brother Shi good friend?" Shi Tuo is the most famous and most ruthless horse thief in the Muwusuo Desert. Few people have seen his true face, and Team Leader Zhao has never seen Shi Tuo.But every time he encounters horse thieves, he will bring up this name first, in order to scare off many horse thieves. Leader Zhao is not afraid of encountering real stone mounds, because he knows that stone mounds will not take small caravans like them seriously. There was disdain in the leader's eyes, and he said, "Do you know Shi Tuan?" His voice was hoarse, as if being forced by a blade to speak. Leader Zhao straightened his back and said loudly, "Not bad." Everyone was silent for a moment, then the four people behind that person suddenly laughed, cruel and sinister, just when Team Leader Zhao was feeling a little uneasy, the person with the square head said in a hoarse voice: "I... mound!" The caravan was in an uproar. They didn't want such bad luck to encounter the most ferocious horse thief in the Maousuo Desert! Team leader Zhao felt cold all over, but he still smiled and said, "So you are... brother Shi. It's better to be famous than to meet..." He secretly groaned in his heart, not understanding why the famous Shi Tuan chose such a small caravan as his target? Shi Tuo said: "Put down the knife, don't resist." His voice paused every word, and the coldness in it was like ice. Behind Team Leader Zhao was a young man, who thought he had some kung fu, and couldn't understand the arrogance of the stone mound, so he shouted, "Why don't you put down the knife?" With a flash of the knife, a stream of blood splashed on the hot yellow sand.Everyone only saw the stone mound slowly put the knife back into its sheath, and then looked at the young man, who had fallen into the yellow sand, his throat was full of blood! Afterwards, in life and death, I still don't know how to hit the knife! Shi Tuo didn't say any more, but he used this knife to tell everyone that this is the consequence of resistance! Leader Zhao was sweating non-stop. He held the handle of the knife, but he no longer had the courage to pull it out.According to the legend, the stone mound is a terrifying person, but the current stone mound is ten times more terrifying than the legend.But Team Leader Zhao couldn't just retreat like this. In that case, he wouldn't have to think about hanging around in the future. With a flash in his eyes, Team Leader Zhao suddenly thought of an idea, and said with a slight smile, "Brother Shi's sword skills are really good, but...if I just put down the sword like this, I will be somewhat unwilling." Looking at Shi Tuo's dark eyes, Zhao The team leader walked away suddenly, and when he came back, he already had two sticks in his hand. When he raised his hand, one of the sticks flew up, and Team Leader Zhao suddenly drew his sword. The light of the knife flickered, but the stone mound did not move. After the light of the saber faded, a wooden stick was broken into five pieces. When the stick fell to the ground, Team Leader Zhao slashed four times. His saber skills were so fast that he was very satisfied.Seeing that Shi Tuo was silent, Team Leader Zhao made a gesture of invitation, which meant that as long as Shi Tuo was faster than his knife, he would listen to Shi Tuo. Team leader Zhao admired himself for coming up with such a clever way. He saved his own life first, and then fought for victory. He was already invincible. Shi Tuan picked up the stick and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his hand, and the stick flew into the air.Everyone couldn't help looking up, wanting to see how fast Shi Duan's knife was, even Team Leader Zhao couldn't help but look up, only to see the light of the knife flash and blood splatter! There was a sound of "嗤", the stick was inserted into the yellow sand alone, and it was still a complete one.But there was a bloodstain on Leader Zhao's neck. Shi Tuo drew out his saber, and when Team Leader Zhao raised his head, he slashed at his neck. Leader Zhao made a "cluck" sound in his throat, and stared at the stone mound, as if he wanted to say why the stone mound didn't follow the rules?Shi Tuo looked into Team Leader Zhao's unrepentant eyes, smiled coldly, and said flatly, "I only kill people, not chop wood." No one came forward again. Di Qing couldn't help but glanced at Feixue, and found that Feixue was looking at the stone mound with no fear in his eyes, as if he was a little excited, Di Qing was very surprised. Sensing Di Qing's gaze, Feixue said in a low voice, "Don't make a move." When Di Qing was stunned, Shi Tuo's subordinates had dismounted one after another, swung their sabers, and opened boxes of goods. Silks and satins from Suzhou, tea from the two lakes, ginseng from northern Xinjiang, and precious medicinal materials were scattered on the ground. Di Qing suddenly discovered that the horse thief didn't seem to have much interest in the merchant's items.All the horse thieves opened were large packages, but they dismissed the small ones. The merchants were in pain, their expressions were as if they were being cut. It can be seen that those people did not take a second look at these things, and they were lucky, hoping that these people would leave after searching. Everyone has seen that these people are looking for something. What is the horse thief looking for? Boxes of goods were cut open, and when the horse thief got to the last few boxes, an old man jumped up and shouted, "Be gentle, don't break it." Regardless of his life, he rushed over and pitifully protected the box, pleading: "Even if you want to take it away, don't break these things." The horse thief was a little disappointed, but seeing the old man like this, he became interested.A horse thief came forward behind the stone mound, waved a knife and shouted: "Get out of here." The old man timidly retreated to the side, still not taking his eyes off the box. The horse thief split open the box with a knife, and the wooden strips fell apart, revealing four porcelain vases of different colors inside. The porcelain vase was as red as a crabapple, purple as a rose, and blue as a plum in season. There was also a white porcelain vase, as smooth as goat's milk curd. In the scorching desert, the appearance of the four porcelain vases brought the verdant greenness of Jiangnan to everyone. What's even more surprising is that the four porcelain vases are flowing in brilliance, constantly changing colors, interweaving together, making people look like they are in a dream.Although the sword-wielding thief didn't recognize the origin of the porcelain vase, he knew it was a good thing and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. There was also a flash of appreciation in Shi Tuo's eyes, and he walked over slowly.Seeing the stone mound coming, the horse thief hurriedly said: "Boss Shi, here are four porcelain vases, but there are five of us, so I don't know how to divide them?" The horse thief had his eyebrows slashed, and he simply shaved off half of his eyebrows, claiming to have broken eyebrows, and only recently followed Shi Tuo's side.Because of his good skills, Duanmei has always thought that he is one of the four indispensable arms of Shi Tuo, and that's why he said so. Shi Tuo's face was dull, and he said: "Five people have four porcelain vases, so it's easy to divide them." Before Duanmei asked how to divide them, he saw a flash of the knife, and he staggered back amidst loud shouts.He clutched his throat tightly, trying to say something, but the blood kept flowing, and he took two steps back, falling on the yellow sand. Shi Tuo withdrew his knife and said, "There are four of us now, shouldn't it be easy to divide?" He looked at Duanmei, who was dead on the ground, his eyes were full of sarcasm. The other three subordinates showed fear on their faces, and they all smiled apologetically, "Big Brother, take whatever you want. In this desert, who else would dare to share things with Big Brother?" Everyone was terrified. Seeing that Shi Tuo's relatives did not recognize him, and he had a disagreement with his subordinates, they all drew their swords to face each other. They were so frightened that some people urinated in their pants. Shi Tuan stopped looking at the porcelain vase, his eyes became more gray and cold, and there was some anger mixed with disappointment.His eyes flickered, and he was fixed on everyone in the caravan.His gaze swept over the crowd slowly, looking very carefully. Di Qing found that Shi Tuo looked at women very carefully, but there was no lust in Shi Tuo's eyes.Di Qing couldn't help thinking, "Is Shi Tuo looking for a woman?" When Shi Tuo came in front of Feixue, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took two steps forward. Everyone held their breath, for fear of getting into trouble.Only Di Qing frowned, ready to make a move. Shi Tuo looked at Feixue, and Fei Xue also looked at Shi Tuo.Di Qing looked at the two of them, and for some reason, felt that the eyes of both of them were somewhat disappointed.This confuses Di Qing. Shi Tuo was disappointed because he couldn't find what he was looking for, but why was Fei Xue disappointed? After a long time, Shi Duan's gaze shifted from Feixue's face to her blue belt, and the corners of his mouth twitched inadvertently. Feixue looked away and sighed. Shi Duan looked away from Feixue, glanced at Di Qing and the young man, his gaze didn't stay for long, and suddenly he looked up at the sky, his face changed slightly. It turned out that at some point, dark clouds gathered in the southeast corner of the sky, and the clouds surged so fast that they covered half of the sky in a short time.Shi Tuo knew that this was a harbinger of a storm, even though he was traveling across the desert, he didn't dare to fight against the sky.Seeing this, there was no further delay, and he ordered: "Take all the water away!" Although the merchants were afraid of the knife of the stone mound, when they heard this sentence, they were in an uproar.Some were angry, some were surprised, and some were so horrified that they almost fainted. Everyone knows what water means in the desert. Stones don't kill these people, but taking away the water has undoubtedly sentenced them to death. A horse thief had already rushed towards the water bag, and finally someone couldn't hold back, stood up and shouted: "Shi Tuo, don't push people too hard!" That person was originally one of Zhao's team leaders, but before he could say anything, he was stabbed by the horse thief fell to the ground. Everyone shouted, with despair in their eyes. Di Qing couldn't hold back anymore, stepped forward, and shouted: "Shi Tuo, don't push me too far!" As soon as the words fell, the bright knife light fell suddenly, and a horse thief had already chopped off Di Qing's head, and everyone exclaimed again.Stretching out his wrist, Di Qing snatched the saber, and with a wave of his arm, he finished the man. Everyone's voices stopped suddenly, it was hard to believe that this person who has been suffering from illness has such sharp skills! The stone mound had already urged the horse to go, but felt that the atmosphere was different, so he reined in the horse again.Turning the horse's head slowly, he scanned Di Qing inch by inch with those gray eyes. The dark clouds above the desert are thicker, and the whole desert has a little bit of coolness. Di Qing still had some pain in his chest, but his waist was as straight as a javelin.He's far from recovered, but he has to step up.Although Shi Tuo's gaze was as terrifying as that of a poisonous snake, Di Qing became more and more calm. There was a wind blowing, and the dust and sand suddenly rushed towards the face. Di Qing couldn't help but blinked. He suddenly realized that this stone mound was not only vicious, but also scheming. The stone mound had calculated the direction of the wind and was waiting for this opportunity. Suddenly, the light of the saber flashed, like a bolt of purple lightning struck from mid-air, and went straight to Di Qing's neck. The stone mound made a move, grasping the right time and place. Zidian hit Di Qing's body!After someone exclaimed, they stopped suddenly, unable to believe what happened before them. Di Qing and Shi Tuo had switched positions, but there was no blood splashed on the yellow sand. It turned out that the lightning strike just now hit only the afterimage of Di Qing.When Di Qing came out with the saber, he had already rushed out facing the light of the saber. Who wins?Nobody knows. The wind is blowing wildly, the dust is blowing, and the scorching sun has disappeared.After a while, after the sound of "choking", the stone mound put the knife back into its sheath, and shouted: "Leave the water bag, let's go!" He flew on his horse, and led his men to run towards the northwest. The yellow sand was billowing, Shi Tuo and others disappeared after bypassing the sand dunes. Everything is like a nightmare, if it is not for the scattered goods and a few corpses on the yellow sand, it seems that nothing has happened. The merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, why did the stone mound leave?Could it be that Di Qing actually won? How is this possible?That sick man was able to defeat the desert demon stone mound? But Shi Tuo left after all, and everyone couldn't help cheering. It wasn't until the stone mound disappeared that Di Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.With all his strength just now, his chest was already hurting. After all, he was still far from recovery. It is a blessing to be able to push back the stone mound. At this moment, there was a scream, and when Di Qing turned his head, he saw countless black shadows hitting Feixue head-on.There was a strong wind, and the strong wind rolled up the dust and sand on the ground, and the momentum was overwhelming. Startled, Di Qing subconsciously flew over, hugged Feixue, and rolled twice on the ground.But his body was slippery and he had already rolled down the high slope! When he saved people, he relied on his reaction, but when he rolled down, he immediately discovered that he had made a fatal mistake!
