Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 869 Sailing in the Desert
  The sign mentioned in Gu Xun's words was naturally the sleeping curse seal placed by the Moon God on Tianming back then.

As far as Gu Xun knew, Moon God's move was most likely done on his own without the instruction of Donghuang Taiyi.

The Sleeping Curse Seal is one of the Eight Yang Vein Curses among the forbidden spells of the Yin-Yang family, and it has an extremely strange and domineering effect.

It has the opposite characteristics to the Six Souls Horror Curse among the Eight Curses of the Yin Meridian. The yin and yang conflict, causing the meridians and meridians to reverse each other.

Among them, the effect of the Six-Soul Horror Curse is to cause the person who is cursed to have true energy to explode, and the meridians to be disordered, and eventually even cause the blood in the body to burn and die.

In essence, it causes the cursed person's body to fall into an abnormal state of operation, burning everything within himself and dying.

The Sleeping Curse Seal is exactly the opposite of the Six Souls Terror Curse. It targets the spirit, not the body.

People who have been struck by the sleeping curse will have an extremely active mental state, to the point of falling into a state of madness and completely losing their mind.

Needless to say, the result of this is that continuous mental madness is also a death.

However, Tianming's situation is rather special.

First of all, this child's bones can be said to be one of the best people Gu Xun has ever seen in the world of Qin Shi.

Even the two geniuses of the Guigu sect, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, are not as good as him.

Of course, having good bones does not mean that one will definitely become a strong person. Gu Xun has seen more than one or two people with stronger bones than Genie, but no one can definitely beat him.

Another thing is to look at a person’s understanding and character.

In this regard, on the one hand, it can be seen from Qin Shi's plot that Tianming is definitely a genius, and on the other hand, based on the reality Gu Xun is facing now, Tianming is definitely not bad.

This child has been affected by the sleeping curse for so many years, but he did not fall into a state of mental madness and die of madness, which fully illustrates this point.

Over the years, he has only lost control of his emotions a few times, but has never truly fallen into madness. If it were anyone else, the grass on his grave would have grown at least twice.

Of course, it's impossible that the sleeping curse seal didn't have an impact on him.

Because of the effect of the curse seal, this child has excessive energy, but also lacks concentration. Except for eating, he can hardly concentrate on anything for more than three minutes. He is a person who truly implements the three-minute passion throughout his life.

It is precisely because of his inability to concentrate that his talent is basically useless.

After all, no matter how talented a person is, you still have to work hard to gain something, unless... you are a pure idiot like Gu Xun.

All in all, over the years, he had relied on his own talent to withstand the effects of the Sleeping Curse. Perhaps the Moon God had already planned all this before casting the curse on him.

However, as time goes by, the effect of the sleeping curse begins to become stronger and stronger, and its impact on Tianming is also increasing. Sooner or later, he will be unable to control his restless spirit, become completely crazy, and reach a dead end.

And this is the problem that Gai Nie will have to worry about in the future.

Gu Xun is not in a hurry to tell Gai Nie now, because this is not an imminent problem. Anyway, he will soon discover this abnormality when he comes into contact with Tianming.

Seeing that Gu Xun didn't say anything, Gai Nie happily didn't delve into it, and finally said:
  "Gai will take him away."

Gu Xun nodded and responded noncommittally, "As long as you are ready to take on everything... it's up to you. After all, Tianming is the son of your old friend. I have no right and no intention to interfere."

After receiving Gu Xun's assurance that he would not interfere, Gai Nie nodded slightly to him as a signal, then turned and left.

At this time, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and the sky was completely dark.

Gu Xun no longer stopped and quickly disappeared into the town.

………………

Three days later, the desert of the Western Region.

A huge and majestic sand ship made a loud rumbling sound and sailed in the vast desert. Under the dazzling midday sun, the hull of the ship shines with dazzling metallic light. In front of the bow, a strong and huge broken stone cone breaks the sand and stones blocking the road from time to time.

After several days of preparations, Gongshuqiu, Eldest and Youngest Siming, and all the members of Niqulisha boarded the desert boat specially designed and manufactured by Gongshuqiu for this operation, and started their journey to Loulan. trip.

Five hundred Anxi Town troops were accompanying them, and the rest continued to be stationed in the Fengsha Town area, waiting for them to come back when they returned.

The main reason why we don't bring everyone is because... the space is limited.

This is just a sand ship built in a hurry, and it is not an aircraft carrier. How can it hold thousands of people inside.

In fact, the reason why it can hold hundreds of people inside is because Gongshuqiu was designed as a warship. Therefore, the ship is equipped with a large number of small cabins for soldiers. Otherwise, even 500 people would not be able to fit in.

You must know that another giant mirage built by the Gongshu family for ten years is at least ten times larger than this sand ship, and it is expected to carry only a thousand people.

However, the mirage was not designed as a battleship, and only a small part of the actual space provided for human habitation.

To be honest, the desert is indeed a hopeless place. After driving the sand boat for a long time, I felt that the surrounding scenery had no changes at all.

The sky is full of sand, rocks eroded by wind and sand, and scattered cacti.

At this time, Tianming and the other three were locked in a cage on the deck of the sand ship.

After Gong Shuqiu caught them, he didn't find the dragon soul directly, but he didn't care. After imprisoning a few people, he drove directly into the desert.

He was also keenly aware that Xiao Li, whose clothing style was very different from that of the Central Plains, was the key to the dragon soul.

He was not in a hurry about this, because no one could keep the secret with Da Si Ming around.

The dragon soul must be in his pocket.

However, just when Gong Shuqiu organized everything on the ship and planned to interrogate Xiao Li, he learned that Wei Zhuang had taken the person away first.

In this regard, Gong Shuqiu said, since Master Wei Zhuang is anxious, then I will wait.

Anyway, he doesn't care if it's earlier or later.

Of course, it was not Wei Zhuang who was really looking for Xiao Li, but Gu Xun who was staying in Wei Zhuang's room.

Although he also boarded the sand ship, his whereabouts were still kept secret. Only Wei Zhuang and Bai Feng knew about it.

Wei Zhuang's room, before Xiao Li arrived.

Gu Xun and Wei Zhuang were sitting opposite each other at the table, each with a bottle of wine, and they were sipping. Crystal clear ice cubes were faintly visible in the purple-red wine.

Chilled western wine.

Gu Xunhai took a sip, smacked the taste and sighed, "Although I'm not hot, in this hot desert, I still feel like drinking something cold. It's a pity..."

It's a pity that there is no happy water.

Wei Zhuang didn't ask Gu Xun what he was sorry for, because he wasn't interested. Anyway, it was just food and drink.

Wei Zhuang took a sip of wine, put down the glass, raised his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Xun, and asked in his usual tone with a hint of sarcasm or ridicule:
  "You want to see that girl because of the dragon soul?"

　I just discovered that I have lost my perfect attendance this month...

　　Anyway, at least this time I didn't waste my points in vain, and the loss wasn't so miserable.
