Chapter 1193 Small Desert

The further you go, the hotter the air gets.

If we said that we had the feeling of spring just now, now everyone has the feeling of summer.

A season is crossed in one step!
At this time, there is no longer any shadow of vegetation on the ground, and there are dry sand everywhere, as if in a desert.

The road under his feet is a dirt road watered with gravel mixed with sand, extending to the distance.

If it weren't for the vegetation that can be seen several miles around, it would really make people mistakenly think that they are in the frontier desert!

The air is dry and there is no wind.

There is a unique dry smell in the desert everywhere.

There are dozens of houses scattered in this "small desert" hundreds of feet away.The thin man pointed there and said, "That's Ehu Village. Mr. Zhou is right there."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I think the layout of those villages is very strange. It seems that all the houses are built around something. The center of the village is an open space, right?"

The thin man looked at the front, then at Feng Jiuxiao, then at the front, his face was full of surprise!

Pang Shiwu said angrily: "Why are you so scared? Was it right by my elder brother?"

The thin man exclaimed, "It's unbelievable! I can only see some houses and some courtyard walls from here, but I can't see what's behind. This young man actually knows that the village is an open space. How did you know that? "

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Look? I can't see anything at such a distance!"

The skinny man was startled, "What? You can't see clearly either? Then how do you know?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I guessed it!"

A few men suddenly fell down!Fuck, can this be guessed?

On the road under my feet, I occasionally found some cobblestones inlaid on it, forming some kind of weird pattern.The road is not narrow, and it is no problem to pass a carriage.If the two cars meet, there is only sand and not a cliff next to it, so there is no problem in avoiding it.

Pepper looked at the sand on both sides, and suddenly his face changed!
She pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look!"

When Pang Shiwu and the others looked over, they saw countless skeletons on the sand, of various kinds, including human and animal bones.

A breath of death rushed over in an instant!

Feng Jiuxiao even found many tiger bones among them!He suddenly felt stunned!How did the bones of these tigers appear here?If the tigers in the Tiger Park die of illness or old age, they will probably deal with them. After all, tigers are full of treasures. Tiger meat can be eaten, tiger bones can be used as medicine, and tiger treasures can be brewed in wine.
Everyone looked around and found that this place was very strange.If it weren't for the existence of the small village in front of us, this place would be like an ancient barbaric continent, desolate, arid, and lifeless!
After walking for a while, when they were about fifty feet away from the village, everyone discovered that the flag bucket standing at the entrance of the village turned out to be a watchtower!
There are three archers on the tower!

The skinny man held up the token, while the other three men held up a small flag and waved it violently!
A ferocious tiger is embroidered on the small flag!
Pang Shiwu said: "Your token is so small, can they see it clearly!"

The thin man instinctively said: "They can see clearly!"

Pang Shiwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey! The eyes are so good!"

The people on the watchtower seemed to still be aiming at the crowd with their bows raised.

The archer on the left said: "It looks like a sick Zhuge." The thin man looked sick, but he was quite intelligent, so someone gave him the nickname "Sick Zhuge"!

The archer on the right said: "It should be him! His walking posture is fluttering, and it is him at first glance!" Once a person is thin and tall, he walks like a bamboo pole shaking!

The archer in the middle said: "Those three fools, what are the colorful things?"

The archer on the left said: "It should be the small colored flag used to prove their identity when they leave the gate."

The archer in the middle said: "Fuck! What are you doing shaking that thing?"

"Hmph, they are afraid that we will shoot them by mistake if we don't know them!"

"What the hell, who can see them clearly before they reach the door? Who dares to shoot arrows if they don't see clearly? Are you too timid?"

"Yeah, there is something wrong with the brains of these pieces of material, eh, by the way, their little boss is the one with the big beard, right?"

"Yes, what's his last name? Fuck, call him a bearded man every day but forget his last name."

"Me too, I just remember that he has a big beard. What about the others? Why are they the only ones back? And why did they bring in two carriages?" In the past, these young people went out to rob and rob some silver. Mission gone.I didn't expect that this time, people even forced people to rob them with a car. What did this happen?
Pepper discovered that there were some huge cacti scattered on both sides of the road in the "little desert", some of which were as tall as a person!It was the first time she saw such a big cactus, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "These cactus are so big? Are they fake?"

"It's true. It's not easy to make a fake one. It can't be so realistic!" Pang Shiwu said, and he turned to Feng Jiuxiao and said, "Brother, these cacti don't look like those from the Central Plains."

Although he didn't read much, he also listened to other people's allusions!There is no such a big cactus in the Central Plains!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "That's right, these should all be transplanted from the deserts of the Western Regions, this Mr. Zhou has a lot of handwriting!" Transplanting these cactus from the Western Regions to the Central Plains must have taken a lot of trouble along the way!With human, material and financial resources, it is not a trivial matter that can be done!
Pang Shiwu said: "It seems that Mr. Zhou is quite able to enjoy life."

Pepper immediately squinted at him and said, "What, envy? You want to learn too?"

Pang Shiwu immediately said: "Why learn from him? It's just talking."

Chili said: "Just talking? If you don't have that thought in your heart, will you say it?"

Pang Shiwu immediately said seriously: "I was wrong! I shouldn't think in my heart, I shouldn't say it in my mouth!"

Chili immediately said with satisfaction: "It's not too bad!"

Wang Sheng and Duanmuyan were already laughing from ear to ear!This Pang Shiwu is too soft!

Pang Shiwu suddenly said to them: "Is it interesting to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps? What's more, you two don't even have twenty steps!"

Wang Sheng and Duanmuyan were startled for a moment!
Wang Sheng immediately laughed and said, "Interesting!"

Duanmuyan also laughed and said, "Very interesting!"

What else can the two do but laugh?Pang Shiwu insinuated that the two of them were hotheaded with shaved heads!If it were someone else, the two would have already beaten each other to pieces!But the other party was Pang Shiwu, and there was Feng Jiuxiao standing beside him, so the two of them had to laugh on the surface even when they were angry, as if nothing had happened!

Pang Shiwu snorted coldly, then turned his head away as if nothing had happened.He is truly nonchalant!

We walked forward several tens of feet.

Wang Sheng said suddenly: "Accordingly, this is Mr. Zhou's lair. This place should be the most heavily guarded. Why is it more lax than the outside?" There is no one guarding or patrolling along the way here. It is very quiet, only the watchtower The last three archers indicate that there are living people here.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is his base camp, how could the guards be lax?"

Wang Sheng was a little dazed and said, "You mean this place is heavily guarded, why didn't I see it?"

He was a little surprised!
Could it be that his skills have degraded?No, I can hear the sound of a scorpion burrowing out of the sand under the cactus ten feet away!

what happened?Are those people hiding thirty feet away?

Twenty feet is the limit of my perception, if those people hide twenty feet away, only Feng Jiuxiao can detect it!There is sand everywhere, where else can they hide except in the sand?

He sensed again carefully with the peak combat power of the Nine Realms, but he still didn't feel that there were strangers ambushing around him.

I didn't feel anything under my feet.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "You don't need to test, in fact, there are people around here all the time. And they are all within five feet on both sides of this road!"

Wang Sheng, Duanmuyan, and Pang Shiwu were shocked at the same time!
"What? Is there someone within five feet?"

Wang Sheng's face changed, and he searched along the path. Except for the air, sand, cacti, and scattered bones, there was no one!He found that the Qingshuang sword behind him hadn't moved just now, which meant that Qingshuang didn't sense the danger either!

No danger is the greatest danger!

Could it be that the master in ambush here is even better than his own martial arts?He couldn't help looking at Duanmuyan, Duanmuyan said: "What do you want me to do?" Wang Sheng said: "Could it be that these people know your magic invisibility?"

Duanmuyan immediately frowned, "Do you think that the magic martial art is a rotten street cabbage, that everyone knows it? I don't even know how to practice it. How can others learn it so easily?"

Feng Jiuxiao looked around and said: "It's not that they know invisibility, but that they use a formation here that can shield people's senses! Vision, hearing, smell and even taste can't sense them!"

Pang Shiwu frowned and said, "It's so amazing? Isn't this a kind of isolated world? Is it so powerful?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "That's right! This is a small isolated world! You are already a Nine Realm Glaze and can't see through this heavy barrier. Do you think it's powerful?"

Duanmuyan said: "There are not many experts in the Jianghu who can use the formation to the extreme. As far as I know, there are Mr. Zhuge, Wolong Yisheng, Yuan Disha and others. I don't know who set up the formation here! "

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Mr. Zhuge? Mr. Zhuge has already died in my hands! According to my understanding, he is not at this level! As for Wolong Yisheng, Yuan Disha and others are not from Southern Tang, the possibility of coming here is not great. According to my guess, the mysterious Mr. Chuanyue is the most suspicious! He has been living in seclusion in Jiangning, not too far away from here!"

Wang Sheng said: "Mr. Chuanyue? By the way, why didn't he come to Changzhou City to help defend the city?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "He is not the only one in the Southern Tang Wulin. Some people are willing to come, and some are not willing to come. Li Yu doesn't have that much face to order the entire Wulin to come! It's love to come to Changzhou to help defend the city. If you don't come It's my duty to help, so it's normal if Chuanyue doesn't come! What's more, Mr. Chuanyue doesn't seem to admit that he is a member of the martial arts world. He heard from his apprentice Xiao Qiushui that he is an expert who doesn't know the world. Strange things, even the long-lost wooden cow and horse have been restored by him!"

Wang Sheng said: "Oh, he is still a peerless master craftsman!"

Duanmu Yan said: "There are always many skilled craftsmen in the Jianghu, and many of the things they have created are unimaginable!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's like the Nine Nether Magic Needle!"

The Nine Nether Demon Needle shot the little Hou Ye who hid in the Hengyang Underground Palace for a year without daring to show up, and lost all his martial arts.

That's why I officially set foot on the rivers and lakes road.

Therefore, Feng Jiuxiao is very sensitive to the Nine Nether Magic Needle, and he will never forget it!
The Nine Nether Magic Needle seems to have a terrifying magic power, and when Feng Jiuxiao mentions these four words, everyone turns pale!
Wang Sheng immediately returned to the original question and said: "If you talk about formations, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period is the most powerful!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "That's right. I heard that there are still the ruins of the Eight Arrays he made in Western Shu. It is said that they are on the Nanjiang Beach of Yong'an Palace. I don't know if it is true or not. The "Eight Arrays" has a very deep origin. The Yellow Emperor of ancient China. It is said that there were not eight formations at that time, but through the continuous improvement and perfection of Jiang Taigong, Sima Rangju, Guan Zhong, Sun Wu and others, it was not until Zhuge Liang reached the peak that it was perfected into eight formations!"

Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, what are the eight formations?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Heaven-covering formation, ground-carrying formation, wind-raising formation, cloud-hanging formation, dragon-flying formation, tiger-wing formation, bird-flying formation, and snake-coiling formation."

Pang Shiwu said: "I don't understand, how can a single formation hide some living people?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The formations of the ancients were originally just formations. For example, square formations, circular formations, sparse formations, several formations, conical formations, wild goose formations, hook formations, and Xuanxiang formations. Use them appropriately according to the comparison of the strength of the two sides. As Sun Tzu said, ten will encircle him, five will attack him, two times him will divide him, the enemy will be able to fight him, his enemy will be able to fight him, if he is few, he will be able to escape him, and if he is weaker, he will be able to escape. Avoid it. But these are nothing more than concentrating on one character, which maximizes the manpower. But the highest state of the formation is to gather the power of the three realms of heaven, earth and man, in order to exert its peak combat power! Just like the formation here, it must use a certain Some special magic tools, set up some kind of enchantment, formed a small isolated world, they can see us, but we can't see them!"

The flute girl who was in the car all the time became more frightened the more she heard it!
There are several things she didn't expect, one is that there is such an extrajudicial place in the suburbs of Changzhou, and she has never heard that there is a cave in Ehu Village!There are villages within villages!

Second, I didn't expect Mr. Zhou's strength to be so abnormal that he kept hundreds of tigers as pets!
The third is that I didn't expect the defense here to be so against the sky, there is an enchantment!

Fourth, I didn't expect Feng Jiuxiao and the others to be so daring, they knew that there were enemies peeping and watching, and they talked and laughed like no one else, and didn't pay attention to people at all, so they weren't afraid of being attacked by them?After all, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, so I suffer!

Yuan Zishan suddenly opened her eyes, "Are you worried?"

The flute girl nodded and said: "Both sides are full of Mr. Zhou's people, but we can't see anything, don't worry it's fake!"

"It doesn't matter, if they want to attack, they have to get close to Mr. Feng. As long as they are within three feet of Mr. Feng, it is equivalent to breaking away from the protection of his own small world and entering Mr. Feng's small world. The offense and defense have changed, and the victory has been decided!"

"What if they use hidden weapons?"

"It's the same, as long as the hidden weapon is close to Mr. Feng, he can sense it! The reason why those people hide so deeply is that they rely on the so-called barrier to cover them. Once they leave the barrier, they will immediately show their original shape!"

"Oh." Seeing that Yuan Zishan was full of confidence, the flute girl felt relieved!
When there were more than a dozen feet away from the Arrow Tower, the people on the Arrow Tower finally spoke: "What's the matter, why did you bring the carriage in!? Don't you know the rules of Mr. Zhou?"

The thin man smiled and said, "There are distinguished guests inside!"

VIP means big fish.The three archers glanced at each other, and thought: If it is really a big fish, this kid will be prosperous, if it is not a big fish, this kid will just flatter the horse's legs, whether it is life or death, let's hope for luck.

"go in!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone passed under the arrow tower and entered the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Wang Sheng's eyes were wide open!
In the middle of the village is a huge square cage, twenty feet long and wide.There is a tiger eating a living person in the cage!
There are many tourists watching outside the cage!
