I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 539 You are so shameless (monthly ticket +1)

"This fire is really extraordinary..."

Song You, who had seen enough of the Gobi scenery, finally turned his attention to the flames at the mountain pass behind him.

As a person who is proficient in fire magic, he can naturally tell at a glance that even the fire on the mountain pass behind him is extremely extraordinary.It is a rare fire that is more powerful than the spiritual fire he casts seriously.

"Hahahaha!"

True Lord Yanyang still laughed and was very heroic. He did not hide it at all, nor was he modest at all. He said bluntly: "This is the strange phenomenon on the earth caused by my longest retreat thousands of years ago. This fire has not been extinguished for thousands of years since then." , on the contrary, it became more and more powerful with the aura I gathered during my practice. Not to mention ordinary gods and ghosts, it was Jin Lingguan, the chief officer of the Palace Fighting Department who came here. As long as he dared to walk on my mountain pass, Even if he suffers, his golden body must be burned into golden water."

"As expected of the God of Fire."

Song You cupped his hands, said no more, and left directly down the mountain.

The bay horse followed him consistently.

The calico cat followed immediately, but kept turning back as he walked, looking at the bearded Vulcan in red robe with a serious expression.

"That person seems very powerful!"

"The ancient power is naturally powerful."

"What is the ancient power?"

"They are monks from the same era as me, Grandmaster Guan, whose cultivation is astonishing and extraordinary." Song You said to her patiently as he walked, "Jin Lingguan, Zhou Lei Gong, Fox, Bull Dragon, and Beibian That willow tree and Anqing's old Yanxian are not as powerful as him, and they don't live as long as him. Only when the fox cultivates the Nine Tails and the willow tree gets what he wants can he be qualified to compare with him."

"Is the snake fairy as powerful as him?"

"No."

"Is the mountain god as powerful as him?"

"I don't know if there are any in those mountains, but there are definitely none outside those mountains."

"so smart!"

The calico cat seemed shocked.

"Then who is more powerful than him?"

"Among the hidden gods in the sky, there may be some who are as powerful as him, or more powerful than him." Song You said to her, "I heard that there are some secret methods in the Heavenly Palace that can gather incense, which is to collect the entire Heavenly Palace gods. All the incense and divine power that arrived are gathered together in one place, and they are concentrated on the generals who are good at fighting, and the generals will become very powerful. It may be because of these that he came here."

"Then who is better, you or him?"

"I?"

The Taoist smiled slightly and said as he walked: "The laws of heaven and earth are extremely mysterious. They are mutually reinforcing and interfering, and they have solutions to each other. It is difficult to say which one is definitely more powerful. What's more, the God of Fire is the senior and I am the junior, so I dare not say that I am more powerful than him. of."

"Can't understand……"

"I'm just as good as him."

"..."

After hearing this, Mao'er's expression became more serious. He quickened his steps, walked from the Taoist's side to the front of him, and turned around to see clearly the Taoist's expression at this time, and fell into thought.

After a while, she finally spoke:
"You are..."

It's just that the Taoist priest never taught her such words. Due to the lack of vocabulary, she thought for a long time and couldn't figure out how to describe it, so she simply turned her head and trotted down the mountain.

……

After descending the mountain, the Taoist headed west.

After ten miles, the flames were gone.

After walking fifty miles, there were empty houses and abandoned houses on the side of the road.

After a hundred miles, there were traces of people.

There is even a road in the Gobi Desert with obvious ruts, and the soil underfoot has been trampled harder.

Then the number of people gradually increased.

There are both travelers and travelers.

There are more people dressed like refugees, with dry and messy hair, chapped lips and cheeks, walking on the road like zombies, and one of them will fall down from time to time.

Song You originally went west in the direction pointed by the God of Fire. He would not have followed this road all the time. This road was a little off, but he still walked on this road, walking with these people and experiencing At this time, they were filled with aura of death and death, and he could feel the longing for life in their hearts, which touched him greatly.

This is a group of people who have fled.

What I fled was these thousands of miles of dry land.

As we walked, more and more people appeared. Whether they were business travelers or refugees, they seemed to be gathering here.

A village finally appeared ahead.

It is a piece of wooden houses on the Gobi Desert. The wood building the houses has been eroded by the sand and has become very old. They are scattered on the ground, which is consistent with the style of Gobi painting.

It's just that the village is a little deserted, and there don't seem to be many people living here anymore.

Many people were silent as they passed by, and some people would turn their heads and look at the closed wooden houses, or knock on the door.

Song You has walked many roads, and this road is really different from most of the roads he has walked before. The scenery on the roadside, the scorching sun above his head, the suffering on the road and the pedestrians around him are all different.

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door from ahead.

Most people turned a deaf ear to the sound, as if just lowering their heads and taking steps had exhausted all the strength in their bodies. They didn't even have the strength to raise their heads to look up. Only the Taoist stopped and looked in the direction where the knock on the door came from - —

It was a businessman with a Central Plains face, holding money in his hand, knocking on the door and shouting.

There was really a voice inside that responded.

Everything is spoken in the local language.

Song You couldn't quite understand, but from his anxious mood and weak tone, he seemed to be able to sense his intentions.

Want to exchange money for water.

The merchant took a lot of money, but the people inside did not open the door. "well……"

The businessman let out a long sigh, but after sighing, he immediately closed his mouth. It seemed that taking more breath would cause more water to be lost from the body. Then he turned over weakly and wanted to continue walking forward.

Suddenly his legs became weak, he staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

"Slower."

Song You reminded him and took out the water bag: "I still have a little water here, so I can take a sip."

"really?"

The businessman finally spoke.

"really."

"How much does it cost per bite?"

"for free."

"for free?"

"take it."

Song You handed him his water bag.

The businessman took it without hesitation, immediately tore off the cork, raised his head and opened his mouth wide, wanting to take a big sip. After a moment of hesitation, he took a sip instead, and then handed it back to Song You.

"Thank you sir, but there is a severe drought here and we are very short of water. Sir, please drink the water sparingly and don't give it away to others casually."

"If you follow the path, you will never die of thirst."

"Ugh……"

"Are you going to ask for water under the foot?"

"I want to buy some water. There used to be a lot of people here, and I buy water there every year." Maybe he regained some strength after taking a sip of water, or maybe he was repaying the favor of the water. The businessman said, "The result has been from There was a severe drought here last spring. There was no rain, and even the umbrellas were almost rotten. They themselves had no water to drink. I think many people have moved away or died of dryness."

That sip of water was obviously just a drop in the bucket for him who was seriously short of water at this time. While he controlled his voice and exhalation to speak, he couldn't help but glance at Song You's water bag.

"Take another sip."

"How can this be..."

"That bite was too small."

As Song You spoke, he handed him the water bag and asked at the same time: "Have all the people on this road moved away too?"

"What else can I do?" The businessman took a sip of water, not daring to spill a drop, and then said, "In the arid land of the Western Regions, people have long been in dire straits. I originally thought that if we only work on last year, things will get better this year, but it turns out that it has been so long since spring this year. Before even a drop of rain fell, many people couldn't bear it any longer and had to flee."

"Where are they all going?"

"Some go further west, that is to the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall, and some go north. Anyway, go wherever there is no drought." The businessman said, "This is the original boundary of Hecheng, the capital of Xizhou, and in front of it is Dingding There is a fork in the road at Daimyo's Huayan Mountain. There are few major roads in the entire south of the Western Region. If you want to go further, you have to pass through there. That's why so many people gather here."

"I see."

Song You also knew some of Dayan's geography.

Originally, Dayan set up the administrative seat of the Xizhou Protectorate here, called Hecheng. Later, as Dayan's control over the Western Regions became stronger and deeper, the location of the administrative office was also moved westward. .

"This water..."

"You can still drink more after you take a step, just leave some for my cats and swallows." Song You said, "After we finish drinking, we can still look for it. Even if it is drought, there is always an oasis water source in the Gobi."

"Then take another sip."

The merchant raised his head again, slowly poured a small mouthful into his mouth, divided it into many mouthfuls and swallowed, and then handed the water bag back to him.

Then the two of them met and walked forward in silence.

The unprecedented prosperity of the Silk Road in the Western Regions has attracted many bold merchants. These merchants are not all large caravans. There are also many alone or in groups of three or two, which may be future caravans.This businessman was originally from Longzhou. He studied in school when he was young, but failed in the exams many times. His family owed a lot of debt, and something unexpected happened, so he took the risk to run a business.

This is a golden road, and you can accumulate huge wealth in one trip.

The drier it is, the more difficult the road is, and the fewer people will pick up gold from the ground with you.

It's just that he might also lose his life.

Until then, there were more and more people. Song You never drank water, nor used his magic power to nourish himself. He even deliberately stopped this process, just to experience the weather in which the temperature was higher than the body temperature. , what is it like without hydration.

Even if Sanhua Empress asked him to drink water, he would not drink it.

This was a novel experience for him.

To others on the roadside, it is a threat of death.

As he moved forward, the moisture was lost rapidly, Song You's lips became dry, his mind began to become a little confused, his mouth became extremely thirsty, and his desire to drink water reached its peak.

It's just that he is not an ordinary person after all, and he cannot understand the feeling of the refugees on the road at this time.

Maybe you can only experience a fraction of it.Then, based on a fraction of the picture, you can guess the whole picture and think about how the people under the drought are suffering.

Until we reached the famous Huayan Mountain among merchants——

In front of it is a tall vertical stone wall. The rock layers are clearly layered and show different colors, like a sky wall.

There are three roads under the rock, leading to three different directions respectively. There are many sheds and simple wooden houses at the intersection. Many people pass by here and stop to rest, most of them are silent, and a few people communicate about the drought in various places. Communicate about where there is water.

There are also many people who cannot get up once they fall down here.

"..."

Song You also sat down cross-legged here, feeling like he didn't want to leave after sitting down.
