Demon King's Wife

Chapter 356 A Sea of ​​Sand

Mu Ruoxin not only left a separate letter to Leng Chen, but also left a letter to He Xi, briefly explaining the matter that was explained, and it was up to them to decide whether they would follow what was written in the letter.

These people are already adults and have their own subjective opinions. She should give them some free space and let them do what they want. Of course, the results are also borne by them.

Yan Liheng only knew the approximate location of Wanmu Pavilion, but not the exact location. Besides, he asked many people along the way, and few of them knew where Wanmu Pavilion was. Some of them hadn’t even heard of it. However, this added a lot of difficulty to them.

It takes a lot of effort just to find the specific location of Wanmu Pavilion, let alone go in?
However, these difficulties are not a problem for Mu Ruoxin at all, and he treats them as a deep journey.

Yan Yi inherited Mu Ruoxin's easy-going personality. Even if he was trapped in a desert where not a single blade of grass grew, he could still happily play with the sand, sleep on his father's back when he was tired, and ask his mother for food when he was hungry. , he didn't understand at all, he just wanted to stay with his parents forever, enjoy their love, and he would love them too.

"Daddy, I'm tired."

"Come on, Daddy will carry you." Yan Li squatted down and carried his son on his back. A little force is enough, even if he carries his son for a whole day like this, he will not be tired.But it depends on the person. If it's someone he doesn't want to recite, he doesn't want to recite it for a moment.

"Daddy's back is really comfortable."

"Go to sleep when you're tired."

"it is good."

Jin Jin didn't get such a good treatment, he couldn't enjoy Yan Liheng's comfortable back, and could only nestle on Yan Yi's small shoulders.But it can also sleep soundly like this, with endless dreams.

Mu Ruoxin has been busy looking for a way, holding a broken map in his hand, looking for a way out in the desert.They had been wandering in the desert for a few days, and they couldn't get out anyway. If they didn't have enough water and food on their bodies, they might have to go back home.

It's just a desert, and it's not like she hasn't challenged it before, so it's no big deal.But she has never challenged a strange and incomplete map.

This map was bought from a merchant when she accidentally met a caravan before entering the desert.I heard from the businessman that this is the map to Wanmu Pavilion, but it has been placed for a long time and has not been carefully preserved, so the map is incomplete, some corners have been moldy, and some have been bitten by insects, so you can still see it so-so The route roughly drawn inside.

But she followed the map for several days and was still circling in the desert. Now she can't tell the difference between south, east and north, and she doesn't know which direction or road she came from.

"Ruoxin, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first." Yan Liheng followed Mu Ruoxin without complaint, and reminded Mu Ruoxin to stop and find a place to rest when he saw that the sky was getting darker.

The desert is not as beautiful as the outside world, and it may be attacked by wolves at any time, or encounter sandstorms.The sandstorm here has the potential to move mountains and fill the sea, even he can hardly resist, so he has to be more careful.

Mu Ruoxin took another look at the map, but still couldn't find any way out, and couldn't find the so-called Wanmu Pavilion, so he had to put away the map temporarily and find a place to rest.

"It's right here. This is a very big desert. I haven't seen a water source after walking for several days. It seems that there must be no one around."

"Could it be that businessman deceived us?" Yan Liheng gently put his son down on his back, let him sleep on the sand temporarily, then took off his robe to cover him, and then talked with Mu Ruoxin. Studying that map, the more I looked at it, the less it looked like a real map.

"Ruoxin, this map is probably fake. If we continue to follow it, we will never be able to get out of this desert."

"I don't think it's fake. This map is drawn on parchment, and it should have a long history in terms of texture. Look at the patterns on it again, it looks like some kind of sign, and it's still there when you touch it. It’s a strange feeling. My intuition tells me that this map is not fake, there should be another mystery, but we haven’t found the mystery yet.”

"Even if, as you said, this map has other mysteries, it will be difficult to find out the mysteries in a moment. Are you going to waste time here?"

"Let's look for it again. If there is no result in a few days, we will leave. Anyway, we don't have to worry about food and drink. If there is a lot of wind and sand outside, we can go to the artistic conception, or to the fairy house. You haven't entered the fairy house yet. Let’s take a picture, I’ll take you inside to have a look when I’m free, the inside is ten times better than the artistic conception!”

"No matter how good it is, it's just an illusion."

"But this illusion is very useful! People like us who wander outside every day can build a house of our own in it. In this way, no matter where we go, we can live in our own home, isn't it good?"

"Yes, yes, what Madam said is very true. Let's raise the fire first, lest any beasts approach." Yan Li looked around and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Ever since he entered this desert, he vaguely felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at them all the time in the darkness, knowing their every move.But he can't really determine whether this feeling is real or fantasy, after all, he is too wary, always suspicious, and treats what he doesn't have as something he has.

In comparison, Mu Ruoxin is much more casual. She doesn't think about those messy things. After putting away the map, she takes out the firewood from the artistic conception, lights the fire first, and then starts preparing dinner. All the beasts were summoned and let them sit in command.

With these divine beasts and spirit beasts sitting in command, I believe those beasts around should not dare to approach easily.

Ari still quarreled with Huofeng as always, fighting for favor, merit, and food.

Wang Xingren was still so calm, sitting aside and guarding its owner.

The white tiger is still mighty and domineering, aloof and disdainful to socialize with those weaker creatures than it, admiring itself alone.

In the evening, the family has dinner by the fire, accompanied by cute pets, which is also a lot of fun.

However, what they didn't know was that there was an undercurrent surging under the sand.

In the middle of the night, a human head popped out of the sand not far from the fire. He opened his eyes to see the person sleeping beside the fire, and then went back into the sand.

Sensing movement, Yan Liheng immediately sat up and looked around with sharp eyes, but he couldn't see any movement, which made him feel very strange.

He clearly sensed someone just now, why did he disappear all of a sudden?

Is it an illusion again?

"Ah Heng, what's wrong with you?" Mu Ruoxin also woke up, seeing Yan Liheng's nervous look, thought something happened, and raised her vigilance accordingly.

"I always felt like we were being watched."

"Have it?"

There is nothing around but sand or sand, how could there be people?What's more, there is no water source for thousands of miles here, and it is difficult for even beasts to survive, let alone humans.

Unless someone, like them, has a divine beast that can fly out of the desert in an instant, or an illusion with sufficient water reserves.

"Anyway, be careful. Go on and sleep, I'll keep watch."

"There is no need to watch the night. There are Baihu, Ari and Wang Xingren. If there is any trouble, they will react faster than us! Tomorrow we will continue to find a way out. We must recover our energy and go to sleep." Mu Ruoxin coaxed He fell asleep horizontally with Yan Li, and prevented him from working hard at night.

What are you afraid of?They are all elite teachers, and they have many divine beasts and spirit beasts. Are they afraid of being eaten by others?
Yan Liheng smiled slightly, instead of arguing with Mu Ruoxin, lay back and closed his eyes to rest, but he couldn't sleep at all, just closed his eyes.

After closing his eyes, he always felt that he was not in a desert, but in a dense jungle, with a strange cold wind blowing all around, and the leaves were blown by the wind and hissed.

He can accept the cold wind, but he really doesn't understand the leaf's voice.

In a desert full of sand seas, how can there be the sound of wind blowing leaves?

Yan Liheng couldn't figure it out, because he couldn't figure it out, and thought he heard it wrong, so he asked Mu Ruoxin, "Ruoxin, did you hear the sound of the wind blowing leaves?"

"The wind blows the leaves..." Mu Ruoxin listened carefully, and even closed her eyes to listen carefully. She was really surprised to hear the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, "Ah Heng, I heard it. Not only Hearing that, I also feel that there are wood spirits nearby."

Where there are wood spirits, there must be plants and vitality.But in front of her was an endless sea of ​​sand, where there was no vitality at all, how could there be wood spirits?

But her feeling didn't seem to be fake, there was really a wood spirit nearby, but the breath of the wood spirit was very weak, as if it was deliberately hidden, and it took a lot of effort for her to feel it.

In order to determine whether there are wood spirits nearby, Mu Ruoxin decided to use his ability to sense wood spirits.When the ability is activated, the whole body is glowing with emerald green light, and the herbal seal on the forehead is shining brightly.

At this moment, another head popped up in a certain sea of ​​sand, and as soon as it came out, it saw Mu Ruoxin's whole body glowing green. He didn't have time to see it clearly, so he went back into the sand again.

It's not that he doesn't have time, but that he can't stay on it for too long, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered.

The few people who came this time were different from those who came before. They had been trapped in the sand sea for a few days, but they were fine. There were many beasts around them, and they looked very powerful.

With such a powerful enemy, he should go back and report first before ordering him to make plans.

The person hiding in the sea of ​​sand drilled down, and after a while, he appeared in a beautiful bush of flowers and plants.It is not so much a flower bush as a place to grow herbs.

A woman in green clothes is sorting herbs, picking herbs that can be picked into a basket, and getting rid of some weeds. She exudes an aura of indifference to the world, like a lotus fairy that emerges from the mud and is not stained. .

When the people who came back from the sea of ​​sand just now came to the place where the herbs were planted, they walked carefully on the small stone path in the middle, taking every step very lightly, for fear that they would accidentally step on any flower or plant and cause trouble.When he walked to the side of the woman, he knelt down on one knee and respectfully reported.

"Miss Nan, the people who broke into the sand sea a few days ago have not left, nor have they fallen down due to lack of water. They are still searching for Wanmu Pavilion."

The woman didn't care too much about the person who reported behind her, and she didn't respond for a long time, she was still concentrating on her herbal medicine, and she didn't respond until she finished the herbal medicine in her hand, "A few days is nothing, if you have the ability to let them die in the sea of ​​sand." Stay for ten days and half a month to see if they can hold on? Even if the seven sect masters under the Heavenly Star Sect come, they may not be able to get out of this sea of ​​sand, let alone those unknown soldiers."

"According to my subordinates, they are not young, and they have many spirit beasts beside them. If my subordinates are not mistaken, one of them is a white tiger beast of the Mu clan. It must not be easy for the spirit beasts to serve the people around them. I don't know if this matter should be reported to the Pavilion Master?"

"Mu clan..." As soon as he heard the Mu clan, Nan Qingcheng's beautiful face of sinking fish and geese, and closed moon shameful flowers showed a little bit of displeasure. After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "No need. The pavilion master explained However, he will be in seclusion for a period of time to refine the best medicine, plus it will be nearly fifteen. The Pavilion Master doesn’t like to be disturbed by anyone or anything. You continue to stare at those people, and if they don’t leave after three days, then Just send them a sandstorm, and whether they will die or live will depend on their own destiny."

"My subordinates know."

After Nan Qingcheng explained everything, as soon as her subordinates left, her face was completely occupied by anger, she was completely different from just now, without the slightest aura of indifference to the world, she said to herself angrily, "Mu Clan , it’s the Mu family again, why is it the Mu family again?”

"Not to mention the Mu family, even if that woman came, I wouldn't let her have a chance."

She has been waiting for the Pavilion Master for so many years, loved him for so long, and finally able to do things by the Pavilion Master's side, even if she just looks at him every day, she is satisfied.

However, she will never allow anyone to destroy this little bit of happiness, let alone take it away.

Just as Nan Qingguo was talking to himself angrily, a man also wearing a green shirt came over and asked softly, "Qingcheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Dongfang Qing, you trespassed in the medicine forest again, aren't you afraid of being punished by the pavilion master? The pavilion master said that you are not allowed to enter the medicine forest casually, so why don't you leave quickly." Nan Qingguo didn't give any good looks to the visitors , just put away his anger a little bit, and spoke harsh words to him.

Dongfang Qing didn't take it seriously, and still spoke very softly, "The pavilion master is in seclusion, and he won't come out in a short time. The reason why the pavilion master won't let me enter the medicine forest is because he is afraid that I will hurt his precious medicinal herbs. As long as I am careful Just a little bit, so the pavilion master will not punish me."

"Don't act recklessly because of the kindness of the Pavilion Master. Don't forget, there are some things that the Pavilion Master will not forgive."

"Since you know that the pavilion master will not forgive some things, why are you still so stupid?"

"I don't care about you."

"Qingcheng, the pavilion master is not suitable for you, don't be stupid again. The pavilion master has loved that woman for hundreds of years, even if that woman died, he has not changed anything until now, and even wants to bring her back to life. In his eyes, he is just a subordinate, at most an orphan he rescued, it is impossible for him to have feelings for you."

"Dongfang Qing, have you said enough?" Nan Qingguo didn't like what Dongfang Qing said very much, because he didn't like it, so he chose not to listen to it, and didn't want to argue with him, so he left with a medicine basket.

Dongfang Qing blocked Nan Qingguo's way, and persuaded him again, "Every word I said today is for your own good, I hope you will think about it carefully, and don't keep making mistakes."

"I don't care about my business, you get out of the way."

"Qinguo, do you think the owner of the pavilion doesn't know your thoughts? He didn't let you enter the attic because he knew. That's why he made a rule that all women not only enter the attic. This rule is for you. Can't you understand?"

"Dongfang Qing, no matter how troublesome you are, don't blame me for being rude."

"I'm doing this for your own good, and I don't want you to continue to make mistakes."

"Since your skin is itchy today, I will disturb you for you." Nan Qingguo was very angry, threw the basket in his hand at Dongfang Qing, and then beat him up.

Dongfang Qing's reaching out was obviously better than Nan Qingguo's, but he didn't fight back, he just dodged, persuading: "Qinguo, you will only hurt yourself by doing this, do you know that?"

"I said, don't take care of my business."

"If I leave you alone, you're finished."

"That's my own business, it has nothing to do with you." She has loved the pavilion master for so long, how could she say that she doesn't love her?

She doesn't know that the pavilion master loves someone else, but that woman is probably dead, as long as she is always by the pavilion master's side, I believe that one day the pavilion master will accept her.

Nan Qingguo held such an illusion, so he was very persistent, but also upset because the person he loved didn't love her. Originally, he just wanted to fight Dongfang Qing casually, but who knew that the shots became more and more serious, and ended up killing Yao Lin. A corner was ruined, she was so frightened that she stopped immediately, and even got mad at Dongfang Qing.

"It's all your fault. If you don't come to provoke me, I won't take action against you. If I don't take action against you, I won't destroy the medicine forest. Dongfang Qing, I hate you, I hate you to death."

"I..." Dongfang Qing didn't expect to destroy the medicine forest. Although it only destroyed a small corner, in the eyes of the pavilion master, this is already a big mistake and will be severely punished.

At this time, some subordinates came and were surprised to see that the medicine forest was damaged.

Dongfang Qing deliberately smirked, touched his head with his hand, and took all the responsibility, "Hehe, look at me, I'm a messy person, once I enter the medicine forest, there will be troubles here, no wonder the pavilion master won't let me in Medicine forest."

"Young Master Dongfang, this..."

The two subordinates were not so surprised after hearing Dongfang Qing's words, because they didn't say it was the first time they saw Dongfang Qing destroying the medicine forest.

But the strange thing is that when most people damage the medicine forest, the pavilion owner will definitely punish him severely, even to death, but Dongfang Qing destroys the medicine forest, no matter how serious the damage is, the pavilion owner often just punishes him to face the wall and think about his mistakes. Spanking his ass won't do anything to him.

It seems that the pavilion master intends to favor Dongfang Qing!

"You don't need to take me to the pavilion master, I will go to accept the crime myself." Dongfang Qing said.

The subordinates responded respectfully, "Young Master Dongfang, the pavilion master is in seclusion, and no one has been seen. For the mistakes you made, you should wait for the pavilion master to leave the customs before you will be punished."

"In this case, then I will go back first, and I will personally apologize when the pavilion master comes out."

"My subordinate understands."

No one made things difficult for Dongfang Qing and asked him to leave.I thought Dongfang Qing was the Pavilion Master's favorite subordinate, so they didn't punish him severely, so they would have to sell him some face.

Nan Qingguo didn't dare to make mistakes under other subordinates, for fear that someone who was not careful would spread some bad words to the pavilion master's ears and affect her impression, but she was not grateful to Dongfang Qing for taking the blame for her.

Nan Qingguo didn't dare to make mistakes under other subordinates, for fear that someone who was not careful would spread some bad words to the pavilion master's ears and affect her impression, but she was not grateful to Dongfang Qing for taking the blame for her.

This is obviously Dongfang Qing's fault, so what does it matter to her?If Dongfang Qing hadn't come to make trouble, she wouldn't have damaged Yaolin, so Dongfang Qing should be the culprit in this matter.

Nan Qingguo found an excuse for himself to go down the steps, then turned around and left. As soon as he turned around, he forgot everything just now, thinking about going back and getting the herbs he picked just now, and taking them out to the Pavilion Master.

This is her only chance to see the Pavilion Master, and she can't see him at other times.

Dongfang Qing said that the pavilion master's decision to prevent women from entering the attic was aimed at her, but she didn't think so.It was the pavilion master who loved his dead wife too much and didn't want to have anything to do with other women, so he set up this rule.
