The middle-aged male cultivator put away the horror on his face and replaced it with a warm smile.

"Fellow Taoist, please come in quickly. It is a blessing to meet a human in this endless desert."

As he spoke, he opened the door.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the invitation."

Song Wen stepped into the stone house.

The stone house is extremely simple.

A bed, a futon, a stone table and nothing else.

The furnishings in the house were so simple, but the bed was quite ornately decorated, which seemed out of place.

The stone bed is carved with dragons and phoenixes, painted with gold and silver, and is also covered with gorgeous monster furs.

"The endless desert, the lack of supplies, and the shabby abode, I hope fellow Taoist friends will forgive me." said the middle-aged male monk.

Song Wen was not interested in the layout of the room, so he asked.

"Dare you ask your friend's name?"

"My surname is Hu, and my last name is the word 'Guang'. How do you call me a fellow Taoist?" said a middle-aged male monk.

"I've met fellow Taoist Hu, my name is Wei Ding."

"Weidao is friendly!"

Hu Guang cupped his hands and said.

While talking, Hu Guang came to a corner of the room. He raised his hand and a stone slab was lifted, revealing the mouth of a well.

A stream of moist water vapor emanated from the well.

At the same time, there was also a faint aura that permeated the air.

Before, Song Wen noticed in mid-air that there was a faint spiritual energy escaping from the blue stone house.

To his surprise, the spiritual energy actually emanated from the well.

"The desert land is really barren. There is nothing to entertain Taoist brother. We can only use this well water that contains spiritual energy. It is still clear and sweet. I hope you will understand."

Suddenly a sea bowl appeared in his hand.

The mouth of the bowl is nearly a foot long, more like a soup basin.

A ball of clear water flew out from the depths of the well and fell into the bowl of the sea.

Song Wen took the bowl of sea from Hu Guang and licked his chapped lips.

"Thank you."

Before he finished speaking, Song Wen raised his head and drank the water from the bowl.

"Brother Hu, can you have another bowl?"

After drinking a bowl of water, Song Wen seemed to be extremely thirsty, but still felt that his thoughts were not exhausted, so he asked again.

Even the title changed from 'Friend Hu' to 'Brother Hu'.

Deep in Hu Guang's eyes, a hint of joy flashed across.

"Fellow Taoist, if you want to drink another bowl, it's okay."

He raised his hand and waved, and another stream of well water flew up and fell into the bowl.

Song Wen also drank without hesitation.

"belch!"

After drinking two bowls of well water, Song Wen drank until he was full and let out a burp.

"Thank you, Brother Hu. I didn't expect that just a bowl of well water containing spiritual energy would be so sweet and refreshing. I was so greedy that I made Brother Hu laugh."

Song Wen looked a little embarrassed.

Hu Guang smiled and said, "If it were in the outside world, this bowl of well water would naturally not be able to enter the eyes of Fellow Taoist. But in this endless desert, things are rare and valuable. If Fellow Daoist Wei likes it, you can take some with you when you leave. Well water.”

at this time.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Before Hu Guang could open the door, two female lizard men pushed the door open and entered on their own.

The two female lizard men obviously did not expect that there would be one more person in the stone house.

They looked at Song Wen and then at Hu Guang.

Then, head straight for the stone bed.

Lying down on the stone bed, his tail was raised, revealing...

Hu Guang's face suddenly turned red.

He pointed at the door and roared, "Get out!"

The two female lizards looked at Hu Guang with fearful expressions, got up, and exited the stone house tremblingly.

Hu Guang looked at Song Wen with a face of shame. He wanted to speak several times, but failed to say a word.

Song Wen suddenly understood, and he finally understood why the four walls of this stone house were bare, but the bed alone was extremely exquisite.

He previously thought that Hu Guang had a preference for sleeping.

I never thought that the bed would be used for another purpose.

"Ahem."

Song Wen coughed twice.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, can you communicate with lizard people?"

Hu Guang's embarrassment eased a lot when he saw that Song Wen didn't mention the female lizard man.

He shook his head, "No, the lizard people have low intelligence and are no different from wild beasts. They have not created language and writing. We can only communicate with them through simple gestures."

Song Wendao said, "That's it. I'm still curious about something, I hope fellow Taoist can explain it. Why do these lizard people obey your orders?"

Hu Guangdao, "These lizard people are immature and stupid. After I came here, I helped them establish a settlement. Under my management, the group gradually grew larger. So they obeyed my orders."

"Why do fellow Daoist Hu come here?" Song Wen asked.

"This is a personal secret, please forgive me for the inconvenience of answering." Hu Guang said.

Song Wen nodded and stopped asking about the matter.

He changed the topic and continued to ask.

"What's so special about the water you gave to the lizard man?"

Hu Guang's eyes were a little dodgeful.

"There is nothing special about it. It is no different from the well water that Taoist friends drink."

Song Wen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is that really true?"

"No lies!" Hu Guang said with a sincere look.

Song Wen nodded and did not delve into the matter further.

"Fellow Daoist Hu has been coming to this endless desert for a few years, right?"

"It's been several years."

"Have you ever heard of the 'Hidden Soul Jade', fellow Taoist?" Song Wen said.

A trace of horror flashed across Hu Guang's face.

"Hidden Soul Jade? Fellow Taoist went deep into the endless desert to find this object?"

Song Wendao said, "Exactly. Have you ever seen traces of this treasure in the endless desert?"

Hu Guang shook his head, "How can I know the news about the Hidden Soul Jade? If you want to find traces of the Hidden Soul Jade, you can go to the southwest. There is an oasis about five thousand miles southwest. "

"There is a large lizard-man tribe living in the oasis. There is a third-level lizard-man king in the tribe. The lizard-man king is extremely intelligent and can communicate. Maybe it knows the whereabouts of the Hidden Soul Jade."

Song Wen chose to escape into the Endless Desert, firstly because the Endless Desert has no aura, and high-level monks generally do not go deep into the desert.

The second reason is because of the unique spiritual object of the Endless Desert, the Hidden Soul Jade.

Song Wen once read a book in the Yushou Sect's scripture collection building, which contained records about the Hidden Soul Jade.

Hidden Soul Jade has the magical effect of shielding the soul of a monk.

Song Wenruo could get a piece of hidden soul jade and wear it on his body.

Then no one can use the soul lamp to calculate his location.

But the description of the Hidden Soul Jade in the classics is very brief.

Song Wen only knew that the Hidden Soul Jade existed in the desert, but there was no detailed record in the classics about where the Hidden Soul Jade came from.

When Song Wen and Hu Guang met for the first time, they had no friendship with each other.

Song Wen's repeated questioning was like an interrogation, but Hu Guang told everything he knew.

Even so, Song Wen still looked dissatisfied.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, you seem to be hiding something."

Hu Guang's expression became a little ugly.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, why do you say this? Remember that you and I are both human beings, and it is not easy to survive in this endless desert. When we first met, I told you everything, but you didn't believe me."

Song Wendao said, "At least you didn't tell the truth about the water the lizard man drank. It was obvious that you had poisoned the water."

Hu Guang's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

"I'm just helping the lizard people and strengthening the tribe."

"Haha! Help the lizard man. Then why did fellow Taoist poison me in the well water?"
