223. Play with you(1/2)
In the desert north of the Northern Desert Kingdom, there is a large oasis, a lake, and a small house on the shore.
There was only a simple stone bed, a wooden table and a stool in the empty room, and the five stegosaurus guards who were caught were lying unconscious on the ground, obviously suffering from the drug.
The middle-aged man strode in, and directly crossed the sword dragon guard that was tilted on the ground, moved the only stool, placed it in front of Mu Yan, wiped it with his sleeve, and said loudly: "Young Master, please sit down!"
"We might as well sit on the ground by the lake outside and have a good chat." Mu Yan suggested with a smile.
"How can that be? This ghost place is very cold at night. The young master has such a thin little body, and I can't afford it if I go out and froze!" The middle-aged man insisted on letting Mu Yan sit down and said loudly, "My name is Leng Sifang, just call my name!"
Mu Yan smiled slightly: "Okay, Uncle Sifang, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Mu Yan sat down, Xiao Xinghan and Zhou Zheng stood behind her. The middle-aged man who claimed to be Leng Sifang did not wake up the five unconscious sword dragon guards immediately, but sat cross-legged on the ground opposite Mu Yan, and smiled and said to Mu Yan: "Young Master, don't be surprised. I am just a rough man, I don't care about anything! Besides, in this ghost place, it's good to survive, and there is no need to be care about it!"
"Uncle Sifang is his true nature." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"It has been a hundred years. I wonder how many people there are in the Cang clan of the Divine Soldier Sect now. Why didn't the sect leader come to search for treasures together?" Leng Sifang looked at Mu Yan and asked.
Mu Yan said calmly: "The official disciples of the Cang clan are now only master, senior brother and me. The senior brother is the master's son, named Cang Zhe."
"Oh? Isn't the young master Cang's bloodline?" Leng Sifang's eyes flashed slightly.
"I am the master's adopted son." Mu Yan said with a faint expression, "But my senior brother has been in poor health since he was a child, so my master made me the young master."
"That must be because the young master is extremely powerful, so that he can be valued by the sect leader." Leng Sifang said.
"Thank you, Uncle Sifang for the praise." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"This time the young master came, can he bring the Divine Soldier Order? If there were no Divine Soldier Order, this treasure house would never be opened!" Leng Sifang said to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan shook her head: "I did not come with the Divine Soldier Order."
"This... Since the young master said he was here to hunt for treasure, he should know that the Divine Soldier Order was the key to opening the treasure house, but he did not bring the Divine Soldier Order. He said this on purpose. He didn't trust my Leng clan, are you afraid that my Leng clan would steal the Divine Soldier Order?" Leng Sifang's eyes looked at Mu Yan a little deeper.
Mu Yan shook her head: "Uncle Sifang, everyone is smart, I will say something straight. The Leng clan must be the lineage that survived the Divine Sect a hundred years ago. Even if it is a side branch, it is also a descendant of the Divine Sect. The Leng clan has been guarding this place for more than a hundred years. If it is for the Cang clan, I would not believe it."
Seeing Leng Si's expression slightly dark, Mu Yan continued with a calm expression: "I think the Leng clan has no divine weapon order in his hands, so he is waiting for the descendants of the Cang clan to come with the divine weapon order, open the treasure house and share the treasure. This is understandable. After all, they are all descendants of the Divine Weapon Sect. The Cang clan has long declined. Only by cooperating with the Leng clan can the Divine Weapon Sect have the opportunity to make the Divine Weapon Sect appear again and the opportunity to revive the Divine Weapon Sect."
"Young Master is really smart!" Leng Sifang looked at Mu Yan and suddenly smiled, "That's right! My Leng clan is also a descendant of the Divine Soldier Sect. He has been guarding the treasure house for more than a hundred years, so he naturally wants to help the descendants of the Cang clan revitalize the Divine Sect! We can't stay here for a hundred years to help the Cang clan get a shocking treasure, and then we have nothing to do. Seeing that the Cang clan cannot protect the treasure, let the Divine Sect be destroyed again, right?"
"Uncle Sifang, I have already said that the requirement of the Leng clan to share the treasure is reasonable." Mu Yan nodded slightly and said.
"Why should the young master hide and take out the divine weapon order so that I can believe that you are really the young master of the divine weapon sect!" Leng Sifang looked at Mu Yan and said.
Mu Yan chuckled: "Uncle Sifang has already worshipped me, which means he has recognized my young master's identity. If I were not a descendant of the Cang clan, it would be impossible for me to come into contact with the Divine Soldier Order and get the treasure map in the Divine Soldier Order to find this place, right?"
"Haha, it's okay for the young master to say this. The young master should take out the magic weapon order as soon as possible and open his eyes!" Leng Sifang looked at Mu Yan and said.
Mu Yan sighed slightly: "Uncle Sifang, no secret words are spoken. I came here this time and there is really no divine weapon order on my body. The reason is very simple. Master said that the divine weapon order is of great importance, and I am just the young master and am not qualified to get the divine weapon order."
"Then what are you doing here?" Leng Sifang looked at Mu Yan inexplicably and asked.
"I'll explore the way!" Mu Yan said innocently, "Master handed me the treasure map, let me bring people to explore the way, and wait for me to find the exact location of the treasure house, and let the master beside me find a way to open the external mechanism, and then you can go back and pick up the master to open the treasure house."
"The Young Master never thought that the Sect Master was using you to give you the name of the Young Master and let you work hard for him. In the end, no matter whether the Young Master or the Sect Master is the position of your senior brother?" Leng Sifang looked at Mu Yan and said.
Mu Yan didn't seem surprised. He laughed directly when he heard Leng Sifang's words: "Is this obvious? But everything I have given to me is given by my master. The senior brother is the master's biological son. It is human nature that the master wants to hand over the Divine Soldier Sect and treasures to the senior brother. My purpose is not the position of the leader of the Divine Sect, nor is it to occupy all the wealth. I am not very interested in casting weapons, I just want to become a top master. At that time, I can walk around the world freely, and my wealth and status are not at your fingertips? Why do I have to take over the hot potato of the Divine Sect? I want to open the treasure house of the Divine Sect, because I want to get the peerless magical skills secrets inside."
"Young Master is really frank." A strange look flashed in Leng Sifang's eyes, and then he burst into laughter.
"Life is short, so you have to enjoy it in time. What do I need so much wealth to do? I will not bring it to death without bringing it. Uncle Sifang said this is the reason?" Mu Yan looked at Leng Sifang with a good smile on her face.
Leng Sifang nodded: "Young Master is very open-minded, I admire you! The humble house is simple and there is a bed there. The young master is working hard all the way. Let's take a break first. When tomorrow dawn, we will discuss going to the treasure house."
"Then I'm thankful Uncle Sifang. I wonder if Uncle Sifang is not convenient to wake me up first?" Mu Yan looked at Leng Sifang and said.
Leng Sifang slapped his forehead: "Look at my brain! I was so excited when I saw the young master, so I forgot about this! I immediately solved the drug of these five brothers!"
Mu Yan smiled and said nothing about the five sword dragon guards lying beside Leng Sifang forgot this. She watched Leng Sifang feed the five people an antidote. The five people woke up quietly, stood beside each with their heads hanging down, and did not speak.
"The young master is free by nature, and it is amazing to be able to get the allegiance of these brothers!" Leng Sifang said meaningfully.
Mu Yan smiled and shook her head: "It's not the case. These six brothers are all subordinates of my sworn brother. This time my elder brother brought them to help."
"No wonder, judging from this young man's extraordinary demeanor, I guess he is not an ordinary person, and he is disrespectful." Leng Sifang bowed to Xiao Xinghan.
Xiao Xinghan nodded slightly, and did not speak, looking very cold.
"Young Master and brothers have some rest first. I'll go outside to get water for you to wash your face!" Leng Sifang bowed, and then walked out after saying a word, and closed the door tightly from outside.
Zhou Zheng, who was closest to the door, gently pushed the door, then shook his head at Mu Yan, indicating that he could not open from the inside.
Mu Yan said with a faint expression: "Thank you all for your hard work, just find a place to rest." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xinghan, "Brother come and sit down."
Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan walked to the bed and sat down. Mu Yan pointed at it, then sighed slightly and said, "Does Brother think that uncle Sifang be trustworthy?"
"Actually, it's okay. My brother does not have a divine weapon order, so there is no need to think about it so much. We just need to pay attention to safety and go back as soon as possible. Everything will be decided by your master!" Xiao Xinghan said.
"Okay." Mu Yan nodded, then looked at the roof. She knew that there was a master there with stronger martial arts skills than Leng Sifang who was eavesdropping. What she said to Xiao Xinghan was just a show.
Zhou Zheng, who was sitting quietly by the door, looked at Mu Yan with admiration in his eyes, and was amazed at Mu Yan's calmness in the face of danger and his superb ability to make stories. From Mu Yan's own name, her master's name, the number of people in the Cang clan of the Divine Sect, and the location of the Divine Soldier Order, all Mu Yan told Leng Sifang were fake.
But Mu Yan could actually make it so naturally with a very reasonable story without any flaws. If Zhou Zheng hadn't known the truth and heard what Mu Yan said, I would definitely believe that Mu Yan really didn't come with the Divine Soldier Order, but just came to explore the way, because normal people could not make up such a perfect lie in such an accident. This requires an extremely calm mind and extremely powerful logic to achieve that level.
"Three people, wait until they all show up before taking action."
Mu Yan quickly wrote words on Xiao Xinghan's palm with her fingers, but the words she said were: "Brother, I have implicated you this time."
"You make the decision, be careful."
Xiao Xinghan wrote words in Mu Yan's hand, and said: "Brother, although you are unwilling to accept my wishes, I have said a long time ago that I am willing to go through fire and water for you."
Mu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and the six sword dragon guards sitting on the ground were all laughing, feeling that their prince had changed his personality since he got married. At this moment, he was deliberately hinting at the eavesdropping person, saying that he was so male and fell in love with the young master of the Divine Sword Sect. The young master of the Divine Sword refused to accept his love, but he did not hesitate to all the requests of the young master of the Divine Sword...
"My surname is also Mu." When Xiao Xinghan said this, his eyes kept looking in Mu Yan's direction.
Leng Sifang's mouth twitched slightly. In his opinion, it was Xiao Xinghan who deliberately said that his surname was Mu, and he secretly expressed his love for Mu Yan. He did not delve into Xiao Xinghan's real name and called out: "Mr. Mu."
"Uncle Sifang, we have many people, but we are all men. No matter how care about the details, we will rest here tonight!" Mu Yan said to Leng Sifang.
"Then please make do with the young master!" Leng Sifang said with a smile.
"Where? This place is much better than where we lived a few days ago. At least you don't have to worry about being blown away by the wind in the middle of the night." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Young Master and Mr. Mu go to bed to rest. I'll take a nap on the ground." Leng Sifang said and sat down. Then, he saw Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan join him on the bed that two men still seemed indescribable when they were lying on it...
It was dawn, and the group got up and went out, washed their faces and rinded their mouths by the lake. Leng Sifang took out the dry food he had stored and distributed it to everyone to eat. The cakes were so hard that they chuckled.
Then Leng Sifang watched Xiao Xinghan take out a small pot from his luggage and hold it by the lake, and start cooking millet porridge, with red dates inside...
"Young Master Mu is so careful!" Leng Sifang sighed.
Mu Yan smiled a little embarrassedly: "My elder brother is very nice to me."
Of course, the millet porridge was not as cold as it was. Although Mu Yan politely said she wanted to treat him some, Xiao Xinghan said coldly that it was not enough.
After breakfast, Mu Yan looked at the surrounding environment. This oasis is not small, with abundant water sources and high sand dunes around it, which is enough to block the wind. The Leng clan did choose a good place. However, according to the map in Mu Yan's mind, this place should be a long way from the treasure house.
"Is it only Uncle Sifang here? Wouldn't it be lonely without anyone to be his companion?" Mu Yan said to Leng Sifang.
Leng Sifang smiled bitterly: "There is no way. No one wants to come for such a chore, because I am the best in my family and the most hard-working brother, so I was sent here to replace a clan uncle twenty years ago. Every three months, someone will come to deliver dry food to me. Sometimes my brother will come to stay with me for a few days in person, and I am used to it!"
"I admire you!" Mu Yan bowed and said sincerely, "If I had been alone in this place for twenty years, I would have been crazy."
"The Young Master is joking." Leng Sifang laughed and said, "We are going to set out to the treasure house now. I will accompany the Young Master to explore the way!"
"Thank you, Uncle Sifang, let's go." Mu Yan nodded slightly. The Sword Dragon Guards brought all their luggage, and Leng Sifang looked at the weapons on Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan without any trace, and found that they were not ordinary items. Even the swords and swords used by the Sword Dragon Guards looked like they were from the Divine Soldier Sect.
The group left the oasis with plenty of water and continued to walk north.
On the way, Mu Yan and Leng Sifang had a great chat. Leng Sifang really felt that Mu Yan was a smart but very free-spirited young man. Leng Sifang was also very sure that Xiao Xinghan really fell in love with Mu Yan, and those sword dragon guards were indeed Xiao Xinghan's subordinates.
As for the other two masters Mu Yan had noticed before, they followed them not far and near. Leng Sifang and the two thought Mu Yan knew nothing.
In this way, after two more days, they saw a river appearing in the desert. The river water was not only not turbid, but also blue in color, passing by a tall sand dune, looking extremely strange.
"Mr. Mu, the river we see is the outermost formation in the treasure house." Leng Sifang said to Xiao Xinghan, obviously wanting to see if Xiao Xinghan has the ability to crack the formation and mechanism.
Mu Yan said that when she went to the sect of the Divine Doctor, she specialized in learning formations and mechanism techniques, and also followed a very thick array and mechanism secret book. After she returned, she naturally showed it to Xiao Xinghan. Both of them were quite interested in this. The contents in the book had already been integrated, and they communicated and explored together to design several formations in the Xiao Palace.
It can be said that Mu Yan understands it, Xiao Xinghan knows it. Therefore, Leng Sifang's suspicion of Xiao Xinghan will inevitably be slapped in the face.
Xiao Xinghan walked slowly to the riverside alone, stood quietly for a while, and then jumped into the river in Leng Sifang's surprised eyes, and then walked up at a very strange pace.
Three Stegosaurus guards followed Xiao Xinghan by the river and went around in another direction. Leng Sifang also quickly followed.
Two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Xinghan walked the circular river, and Leng Sifang suddenly widened his eyes and watched the blue river disappear out of thin air in his sight. Xiao Xinghan had no drop of water on his body, but there was a little dry sand on his shoes. Obviously, the river before was simply an illusion caused by formations...
"This... is so amazing!" Leng Sifang couldn't help but exclaim. He had been here many times, and other people from the Leng clan had also come here many times, but they didn't understand the formation at all. They had tried to cross the river, but were forced back by countless arrows flying out of the sand dunes. They also tried to step into the river, but after entering, they would sink. A master of the Leng clan was buried alive and his corpse was left uninherent.
"Uncle Sifang, my elder brother is very powerful!" Mu Yan looked honored.
"Yes! Mr. Mu is indeed a master!" Leng Sifang said with a smile.
Xiao Xinghan ignored Leng Sifang's praise, but looked at Mu Yan with affectionate words: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have learned the art of mechanism formation."
"Ahem!" Mu Yan coughed twice, shifted her gaze, and looked at the tall sand dune in front of her, "Brother, I'll have to worry about you next."
"Let's go." Xiao Xinghan found a location, then waved to let the six Stegosaurus guards go over and directed them to start digging the bottom of the sand dune.
After the bottom was hollowed out, the upper layer of sand fell one after another, and then Leng Sifang looked at a tall palace in surprise. The palace was originally covered by thick yellow sand, and from the outside it looked like a sand dune.
"It's here." Xiao Xinghan pointed to a tall and quaint stone gate and said, "This is the entrance."
Seeing a small groove on the stone door, Mu Yan said with regret: "It seems that without the Divine Soldier Order, we can't get in. We can only open the outermost mechanism and see the true appearance of the treasure house. There is nothing else to do."
To be continued...
