Chapter 92 The Evil Desert

Liu Yuanchen guessed the reason for the taboo, so he naturally stopped talking.

But Meng Tieshan on the side is indeed a truly honest person.

"Senior brother, why is this storm plain called this name? Is it because..."

Liu Yuanchen quickly covered his mouth: "Junior brother, please don't talk nonsense."

Meng Tieshan looked confused, and Liu Yuanchen patiently explained to him: "There are some taboos here. Once violated, it may cause serious consequences."

Hearing this, Meng Tieshan nodded.

Only then did Liu Yuanchen let go of his mouth. This junior brother of his was too simple-minded and didn't know anything about the world.

Seeing the nervous look of the two senior brothers, Wan Yutang smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so nervous.

Business people have this taboo, just to avoid trouble. How can the strong wind come at will? "

Phew~~

Before he finished speaking, the sound of howling wind came from the due north.

The three of them looked at each other. They really didn't expect that the wind energy in this stormy sand plain could be so evil.

To the northwest, strong winds stirred up countless amounts of sand and dust, forming an earth-yellow sky that kept pressing toward the flying boat.

At this time, Xu Yang shouted loudly: "Open all defensive formations, turn the ship's bow, and move toward the southwest."

The monks on the flying boat were also well-trained and acted quickly after receiving Xu Yang's order.

Not long after, the flying boat was wrapped in several layers of defensive barriers.

The rapidly advancing airship also quickly turned its bow and headed southeast.

Fortunately, the speed of the sandstorm was not very fast, so the flying boat was only traveling a little southerly, and the distance from the sandstorm became further and further away.

Liu Yuanchen breathed a long sigh of relief: "This taboo is really not for nothing, it is so evil!"

Wan Yutang was also stunned at this time, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

“I’ve walked back and forth on the sandstorm plains several times, and I’ve never seen this thing before.

I just heard about this taboo, but I didn’t expect it to be true. "

At this time, Xu Yang came over and said, "Yuan Chen and Tieshan didn't violate the taboos when they first crossed the Baosha Plain. On the contrary, it was you, Yutang, who violated the taboos."

Wan Yutang looked embarrassed: "Uncle Xu, I have never encountered this situation before and thought it was just a legend.

I didn't expect that this thing could actually be drawn out. "

Liu Yuanchen was a little curious: "Uncle Xu, is this Baosha really so evil?"

Xu Yang nodded: "Even with such evil nature, the Chamber of Commerce has sent experts to investigate, but nothing has been found."

"After that, there was such a taboo left on the Storm Sand Plain."

Liu Yuanchen was a little puzzled: "Uncle Xu, I think the speed of the dust is not very fast. Is it necessary to be so afraid?"

Xu Yang shook his head: "Let's put it this way, as long as it touches the dust, no flying boat can leave. If it touches the dust, it will never get out again.

Not to mention our cargo-carrying airship, not even the warship can escape.

"Otherwise, this stormy sand had been developed by the Great Xia Dynasty a long time ago, how could it be preserved until now?"

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was shocked.

I never expected that the sand and dust in this stormy sand plain would be so terrifying.

At this moment, several small black spots appeared behind the flying boat.

The black spot moved very quickly, getting bigger and bigger in everyone's eyes.

Soon, you can clearly see how many flying boats they are.

Liu Yuanchen asked: "Are the flying boats at the back of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, or the flying boats of the Great Xia Imperial Court?"

Xu Yang sighed: "No, we are in trouble."

Then, he shouted: "The flying boat is moving forward at full speed, ready to meet the enemy."

Before he finished speaking, several gaps suddenly opened in the rear deck of the flying boat.

The gap continued to expand and soon turned into several holes.

Giant crossbows came out of the hole one after another, and each giant crossbow was equipped with a long crossbow arrow.

The lightning flashed on this crossbow arrow, which was obviously a lightning-attribute magic weapon.

Liu Yuanchen couldn't help but sigh: "The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is really rich! Even expendable magical weapons like crossbow arrows must use thunder attributes."

Wan Yutang sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Legend has it that every time there is a sandstorm, there is a certain probability that the ghost ships behind it will appear."

Liu Yuanchen took a breath of cold air: "Ghost ship? Are you saying that the following ships are not piloted by living people?"

Wan Yutang nodded: "The ships behind are all flying boats that were buried in the sand sea before. Some are cargo ships and some are warships.

To deal with such strange things, you must use thunder-attribute magic weapons. "

Liu Yuanchen was horrified. The level of evil in Baosha Plain was no worse than Wuyun Ridge.

"Can our flying boat beat those ghost ships?"

Wan Yutang shook his head: "According to the records left by the Chamber of Commerce, we can only severely damage these ghost ships, but cannot completely destroy them.

Even if a top expert takes action and grinds them into powder, they will recover quickly without affecting their speed at all.

On the contrary, after being severely injured, it will not recover in a short time.

Therefore, when encountering such a ghost ship, it is best to severely damage it and reduce its speed sharply.

They chase passers-by, but they will not chase them beyond the sandstorm plains.

As long as we can escape from the stormy plains in time, nothing will be a problem. "

The several ghost ships in the rear got closer and closer, and Liu Yuanchen could see clearly what they looked like.

In appearance, there is nothing unusual about those ghost ships.

The flag of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is still hanging on the bow of the ship. It should be the flying boat that was lost by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in the past.

But the black mist kept pouring out of the cabin of the ghost ship, which looked extremely weird.

The black mist looks quite similar to the black mist on Wuyun Ridge, but I don't know if they are the same thing.

At this time, Xu Yang's voice sounded: "Thunder Crossbow is ready to attack the cabin of the ghost ship.

More than thirty monks stood up to answer the order, and every five men controlled a giant crossbow, aiming at the ghost ship behind.

Xu Yang raised his right hand and waved violently towards the ghost ship behind him.

Boom~~

The sound of bowstrings sounded, and seven crossbow arrows shot towards the ghost ship behind.

Boom~~

Thunder exploded, and the crossbow hit the cabin of the first ghost ship.

The power of thunder swept through the entire ghost ship. The ship's hull trembled violently, its speed dropped sharply, and it was left behind by the ghost ship fleet.

Xu Yang finally had a smile on his face: "Well done, aim for the second ship."

…

Tens of breaths later, all five ghost ships were severely damaged, slowed down, and were soon far away from the flying boat.

Xu Yang breathed a long sigh of relief: "Go ahead and tell me, no one is allowed to speak unless you report to me the situation in the flying boat."

Hearing this, Wan Yutang and Meng Tieshan both covered their mouths for fear of saying the wrong thing again.

The khaki sky blown by the strong wind was still pressing towards the flying boat from the due north.

The flying boat turned to the southwest, always keeping a distance of fifty or sixty miles from the khaki sky.

The ghost ship did not appear again, and everyone's mood gradually improved.

Seven days have passed, and except for the dust storm in the north, everything has been very calm.

In the evening, the flying boat headed southwest as usual.

Suddenly, a city appeared more than a hundred miles ahead, hanging high in the sky.

Even a fool can see that this city is not normal.

Liu Yuanchen glanced sideways at Xu Yang and found that Xu Yang's face was already ashen.

He spat: "Our luck is really bad, we actually encountered the Hanging Ghost City."

Hearing this, Wan Yutang was also frightened and turned pale.

Meng Tieshan learned the lesson from before. Although he wanted to ask questions, he tried to cover his mouth for fear of causing trouble again.

Liu Yuanchen asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother Wan, what is this?"

Wan Yutang's voice was trembling: "There are many strange events on the Sand Plain, and this hanging ghost city is the most difficult one.

If you encounter sandstorms or ghost ships, you can avoid them.

Only when you encounter a hanging ghost city, no matter how powerful you are, you will never be able to escape.

This hanging ghost city is also called the hanging ghost market, and there is something similar to a square market inside.

However, most of the people doing business in the market are not living people.

Only by entering the hanging ghost town and completing a business can one leave the ghost town.

Otherwise, you will be left in a ghost town.

When the sandstorm disappears, the ghost town will disappear with it.

Those who stay in the ghost town will never be able to come out again. "

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Unknown things are the scariest thing. Now that you know the way to get them out, at least you won't be in danger of death.

Xu Yang shouted: "Get ready to enter the ghost town. Everyone should follow me after entering the city. They are not allowed to walk around or make any noise."

Then, he took out many black face towels.

“There are often many strange things in the city, and some things may poison people and cause hallucinations.

When entering the city, always wear this face scarf, it can save your life at critical moments. "

Everyone divided the face towels and covered their faces with them.

This towel has a pungent smell, but the smell is really refreshing.

Even if I feel a little sleepy, I feel energetic immediately when I smell this smell.

This hanging ghost town is not just a city hanging in the air, but a huge rock hanging in the air, and the ghost town is built on this rock.

As the flying boat got closer, Liu Yuanchen could clearly see what the ghost town looked like.

The entire ghost town is only half a mile square. There are a lot of moss and vines growing on the walls, which looks full of life.

It seems incompatible with the eerie image of this ghost town.

These things can also be regarded as vegetation, and Liu Yuanchen tried to sense the vitality in them.

However, they found that these vegetation did not have the green vitality of ordinary vegetation, but were filled with gray mist.

The flying boat landed outside the East Gate of the Hanging Ghost City. About twenty people on the boat got off the flying boat and gathered around Xu Yang.

Xu Yang repeated: "Remember what I just said, follow me closely, don't run around, and don't talk nonsense.

If you have any questions, just use your spiritual consciousness to ask me.

Any action must be subject to my consent. "

After that, he stepped forward, with everyone following closely behind him.

Zhi acridine~~

Everyone walked to the city gate, and the city gate made a dull sound and then opened on its own.

Looking inside through the city gate, there are streets paved with blue bricks.

The houses on both sides of the street were very neat, but there was no one around.

There is a layer of gray-white mist in the city, giving people an eerie feeling.

Xu Yang looked as usual and walked straight into the city gate, with everyone following closely behind.

Zhi acridine~~

After everyone entered the city, the city gate closed automatically.

Suddenly, lights lit up in the houses on both sides of the street.

White lanterns also appeared under the eaves, lighting up the entire street.

A hunched old man pushing a somewhat dilapidated wooden cart suddenly appeared on the side of the street.

He smiled at everyone, showing two remaining teeth: "The guests have just entered the city, haven't you eaten yet?

The Chaos has just been packaged. Can you buy some? "

After that, he opened a pot in the car.

An alluring fragrance diffused out, and everyone's face showed an intoxicated look.

The immortal seed in Liu Yuanchen's sea of ​​consciousness has turned into the appearance of the mother tree of ginseng fruit, emitting thousands of rays of light.

He suddenly woke up, and the old man looked at him in surprise, but didn't say anything.

Then, a bad smell came from the face towel, and the smell rushed straight to the forehead, which immediately made people energetic.

Everyone woke up and looked at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang shook his head slightly and continued to move forward.

Liu Yuanchen also dragged Meng Tieshan and followed behind.

After a few steps, the old man who sold chaos disappeared without a trace.

Bang bang~~

A dull sound came, and looking in the direction of the sound, a butcher shop suddenly appeared on the side of the road.

A shirtless strong man was chopping meat hard.

This man's figure was much stronger than Meng Tieshan.

Seeing everyone coming over, the sturdy man shouted, "This is the best pork. Please buy some, dear guests."

Xu Yang shook his head again and continued to walk forward.

Everyone followed behind him, ignoring the sturdy man.

At this moment, the sturdy man showed a fierce light in his eyes, jumped out from behind the meat stall, and swung his knife to chop Meng Tieshan.

Xu Yang snorted coldly, "Kill him!"

A long stick appeared in Liu Yuanchen's hand, and with a swing of the long stick, he blocked the sturdy man's kitchen knife.

Although the sturdy man looked scary, he was not very strong.

Liu Yuanchen easily blocked the knife with the stick in one hand.

Meng Tieshan took out a mace and smashed it on the sturdy man's head, smashing his head into a rotten watermelon.

As soon as he took back the mace, the sturdy man's head recovered.

Xu Yang reminded again, "Use the wind and thunder stick."

Liu Yuanchen understood, and a large amount of spiritual energy was poured into the wind and thunder stick, and the whole long stick was shining with lightning.

The sturdy man was a little scared and wanted to run away.

Liu Yuanchen flew up and knocked him to the ground with a stick.

He swung more than a dozen sticks in a row, beating the strong man to the ground.

A moment later, the strong man and the butcher shop disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yang used his spiritual sense to send a message to everyone: "Don't buy anything edible. Once you buy something edible, you can't control yourself.

Once you eat the things in it, you can never go back.

When doing business with others, everything must abide by the rules of doing business.

If the stall owner does not follow the rules, you can kill him directly without any consequences."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief.

The stall owner jumped out of the stall and wanted to attack his junior brother, which obviously violated the rules of doing business.

There would be no consequences if he killed him himself.

After walking a few steps, a cloud of fog suddenly surged out and surrounded everyone.

Xu Yang shouted: "Everyone stand still, don't move.

What we just saw was just a trick, the real ghost market is about to appear."

Soon, the fog gradually faded, and the deserted and gloomy streets were no longer in front of us, but a lively scene.

Stalls were placed on both sides of the road, and the streets were full of pedestrians.

The voices of vendors talking to customers, quarrels, shouting, and laughter were endless.

Suddenly, the sound of stringed instruments came to my ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a tall and magnificent attic appeared in front of me.

There was a plaque hanging on the lintel of the attic, with three big characters "Qunfang Pavilion" written on it.
