Chapter 192 Unexpected Reunion
The man hit a few times and stopped again. He put his hands on his waist and walked back and forth twice. When he was sure that he really couldn't remember, he was ready to come to Canglan. Canglan instinctively retreated, but before he took two steps, the figure had appeared in front of Canglan and stopped him in the blink of an eye and stopped him. I stopped her way.
When the two looked face to face, Cang Lan could see what the visitor looked like. The person in front of him was an old man with a beard up to his waist, but it was very messy. The hair on his head was more like a nest of dead grass, and even his eyebrows had grown to the bottom of the corners of his mouth.
Looking at the clothes, they can't be regarded as clothes. They are incomplete and have countless loopholes. They are almost made up of several fabrics tied together, and what's more strange is that he doesn't wear shoes on his feet.
Canglan looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and that person also looked up and down at Canglan. Finally, he looked at it and circled around Canglan twice to let the Buddha see Canglan carefully.
"Well... little girl, you haven't answered me the question I just asked you?" The old man touched his chin and thought about it, leaving only a crack in his eyes closed because of his smile.
Cang Lan stepped back slightly and looked at the person in front of him. Although he didn't feel his hostility, he still didn't want to get too close and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The old man looked around and saw that there was no one else. Then he pointed to his nose and asked, "Are you asking me who I am?" Of course, I'm the owner here. Who else can I have?
"Master?" Cang Lan frowned, "Are you the owner here?"
The man said, "Of course, this ancient desert is mine. Everything here is mine. Of course, I am the owner here." Saying that. The man looked at Cang Lan again with sharp eyes, "It's you, who are you?" Why did you come to the ancient capital of the desert? What's the purpose of your coming here? Do you also want to be the owner here?
The man's tone changed a little, and he became a little angry. Obviously, he regarded Cang Lan as the person who robbed his territory.
"The ancient capital of the desert?" Cang Lan thought about the name in her heart and felt that she had seen it somewhere. She looked up at the person in front of her and met the hostile gaze. Cang Lan shook her head and said, "I'm just passing by here. I don't want to come here to be a master, and I don't have any purpose."
The old man glanced his head and said, "I don't believe it. If you come here for no purpose, what are you doing here? The ancient desert capital has not been visited by outsiders for hundreds of years. Why did you come here?
Although the old man was a little unreasonable, Canglan didn't want to give up this opportunity to leave here. He stepped back and bowed slightly and whispered, "I'm going to a place. I happen to pass by here, and I don't know that this is the ancient capital of the desert. If there is any trouble, please forgive me."
The old man looked at Canlan with a surprised face, and he was also wondered whether the woman in front of him was really just passing by. His slender eyes were slightly closed, but the light revealed in his eyes was very bright.
Where are you going? Why did you pass by the ancient capital of the desert? The old man asked with his beard.
Canglan looked up at the old man, thought about it for a moment, and then replied, "The City of Illusions."
"City of Illusions?" The old man stared at Canglan in astonishment, "Your little girl's family is going to the city of fantasy? I heard it right."
"Senior, I heard it correctly. I'm really going to the city of fantasy." Seeing that the person in front of him was so surprised, Cang Lan couldn't help but wonder, "Does the senior know how to go to the city of fantasy?"
As soon as the words fell, the old man immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't know how to get to the city of fantasy. If you want to go, you can go and don't stay here. Also, don't tell anyone that you have met me here.
After saying that, the old man had run forward quickly, and some enemies behind the Buddha were running very fast as if they were chasing him. Canglan didn't understand why the old man was so afraid of the city of fantasy. As soon as she heard it, she immediately walked away. In addition, she didn't want to give up this opportunity because she finally met someone here.
Seeing that the old man was about to run, Cang Lan also followed him closely, with his tiptoe, and the man had already flown up and chased straight in the direction of the old man. The old man felt that Canglan was chasing him, so his pace accelerated a lot, and people moved forward in the desert like floating light and shadow.
The two people were one after the other, the people in front of them couldn't dodge, and the people behind them chased after him, so that they persisted in the desert for a long time without stopping, but it seemed that the old man was very familiar with the terrain of the desert. Several left and right flashed, and Canglan could no longer find his shadow.
Looking around in the air, except for the fallen statues, there was no figure of the old man at all. It was not until it was confirmed several times that Cang Lan gave up. Flying down and landing steadily, and then looking at the desert in front of us, it is still the same as before, with yellow sand all over the sky.
"Isn't there really no way to find the city of fantasy?" Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Canglan asked in a low voice, "I finally met someone who disappeared like this. Is this too strange here? Or is God deliberately playing tricks on her?
The clouds gradually cover the moonlight, and the wind touches the skin with a little coolness.
On the other side of the desert, two people are slowly coming. The people in front walked very slowly, but every step was calm, and the people behind them staggered and crooked, obviously walking hard.
"Master, shall we take a break? He has been walking for a day. If it goes on like this, before A Wu arrives in the city of fantasy, he is already tired and lying down. Ye Qingwu pouted and complained as she walked. Every time she looked up at the relaxed master walking in front of her, she was sulking.
Lan Ge walked ten steps away from Ye Qingwu. His face was indifferent and his steps were relaxed. Hearing Ye Qingwu's complaining voice, he couldn't help smiling and looked back at his disciples slightly. "If we stay here for too long, we may not be able to go to the city of fantasy."
I don't know why, Ye Qingwu actually shivered and looked left and right. When she saw those strange statues, a trace of fear suddenly rose in her heart. She lifted her whole body and ran to Lan Ge's side and asked breathlessly, "Why, can't this place still trap us?"
Knowing that Ye Qingwu was very tired, Lan Ge also rarely stopped and looked at Ye Qingwu sideways. "The longer you stay in this place, the harder it will be to get out."
"Oh..." Ye Qingwu said again, "Then when can we get out of here?"
"Maybe a day or two, maybe a month or two, maybe longer."
"What?" Ye Qingwu straightened his back and said in surprise, "A month or two? Is it possible that it will last longer? Master, what on earth is this place?
Lan Ge smiled and turned around and continued to move forward, but the speed under his feet was slower. "I don't know. Although this place is very similar to some places recorded in some books, I can't be completely sure that it is." Looking around this desolate desert, "Maybe we need a positive answer to find a way to leave."
Ye Qingwu was confused when he was about to ask Lan Ge what this meant, but Lan Ge waved his hand to stop what he wanted to say and was stopped by Lan Ge and walked behind a statue.
"Master..." Ye Qingwu carefully called his master and didn't understand why he suddenly hid.
Lange stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, with handsome eyebrows slightly restrained and a serious look. Therefore, Ye Qingwu didn't dare to continue to ask when she saw it, so she had to put away her doubts and see what the master wanted to do.
This statue is about two feet high, and the bodies of the two people are just right to hide, and there are no gaps that can be covered. Lan Ge hid on the edge of the statue and looked along the moonlight, with some vigilance in his eyes.
He felt someone appear here and was still slowly leaning this way.
It's getting closer and closer, and Lan Ge's eyebrows are frowning tighter and tighter. That feeling is very familiar, but Lan Ge doesn't believe that it is familiar. Will there be familiar people in this big desert?
Ye Qingwu was made afraid to come out by the tense atmosphere. She was afraid of frightening the snake and let others know that she and her master were here, but the dust suddenly blown by the wind entered her nose. No matter how much she rubbed it, her nose was still itchy. Ye Qingwu couldn't help sneezing, and his voice was not small.
"Who?"
A cold question came from outside the statue.
Lang Ge sighed deeply, but facing Ye Qingwu's innocent and pitiful eyes, Lan Ge could only shake his head helplessly. Now that it has been discovered, it is meaningless to hide. After thinking about it, I came out of the statue.
However, when he saw the visitor clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Lan Ge?"
"Canglan?"
The two people under the moonlight were surprised almost at the same time and did not expect that they were each other.
Cang Lan looked at Lan Ge and forgot what to ask for a moment, but just looked at him.
Lan Ge took the lead in reacting, from surprise to surprise, it was really just a moment. Even though I knew that we would meet in the fantasy city sooner or later, I didn't expect that we could meet again here. So Lan Ge is a little like a dream.
"Why are you... here?" Lan Ge looked at Cang Lan and asked softly, his tone was still as calm and indifferent as a long time ago.
That moment of distraction, just because this person suddenly appeared in front of her. How long has it been since she thought that she would see him? How long has it been since she remembered him? How can she face the sudden meeting now?
Canglan looked sideways and avoided the last meeting, but this time, he still couldn't avoid it.
"I passed by here." In a very indifferent tone, with a little alienation, Canglan always remembers his determination in Xuanyue Valley. From then on, he has been strangers to the world.
In the same way, those memories will naturally not be forgotten. With a bitter smile, they nodded and echoed, "It just so happens that we also passed by here."
Cang Lan glanced at Lan Ge and frowned.
"Sister Lan?" A sudden exclamation came not far away, which made Cang Lan subconsciously look over and saw a woman standing next to the statue in front of him. The petite figure was not Ye Qingwu.
When Ye Qingwu saw Canglan, she was extremely kind and ran over here excitedly. She completely forgot her fatigue. She ran to Canglan's side and took Canglan's hand affectionately and asked curiously, "Sister Lan, it's really you. Why are you here?"
Cang Lan smiled and was a little overwhelmed by Ye Qingwu's close appearance. "Just like you, I passed by here."
"Like us?" Ye Qingwu asked, "Is Sister Lan also going to the City of Wonderland?"
Hearing that Ye Qingwu was going to the city of fantasy, Cang Lan was quite surprised. Yu Guang took a look at Lan Ge and thought about what Lan Ge was going to the city of fantasy? Is it also for the Tianyuan disk?
As early as in Xuanyue Valley, Canglan learned from Bai Lao and Lange that only after entering the city of fantasy can he know the whereabouts of Tianyuan disk, so this time he went to the city of fantasy was also to complete the mission of Tianzun. Of course, before that, finding the star and nine tones is the most important.
Originally, Cang Lan had nothing to hide, so he nodded and admitted his purpose of going. "It's true that I passed by here to go to the city of fantasy, but you won't go there because..."
"This..." Ye Qingwu couldn't answer, only looked good at Xiang Lange.
Lange came forward and looked at Ye Qingwu, and his eyes finally stopped on Canglan. "Like you, I'm going to Tianji Pavilion."
"Go to Tianji Pavilion?" Canglan frowned and said, "Go and ask fate?"
Langge shook his head, but had no intention of saying anything more. He stared at Cang Lan seriously and let the Buddha see through her so carefully. His dark eyes were like a calm lake. After a moment, he said, "Haven't you found Jiuyin yet?"
"How did you know that Jiuyin was missing?" Canglan didn't know that what he asked was a little superfluous. Ye Qingwu knew, so would Lange not know? He lowered his eyes and smiled and replied, "So far, there is indeed no news from Jiuyin. I don't know where he has gone or whether he has returned to Li Hentian."
"So what are you going to do next? Isn't it too dangerous to go to the city of fantasy alone? He still said so indifferently, but his eyes were warm.
Cang Lan deliberately let himself avoid those eyes. "It's nothing. In fact, everything is okay. This journey is not as dangerous as I thought."
The clouds are light and the wind is light, and there is no emotion. That tone is the same as Lan Ge. Because I didn't look at that person, I couldn't see a trace of disappointment in that person's eyes at a certain moment.
After Ye Qingwu learned that Canglan had not found Jiuyin, she was also very depressed. She lowered her head for a long time and didn't want to talk. At this moment, she wanted to leave here earlier and go out to find Jiuyin earlier.
Easily opened Canglan's hand and walked to Lan Ge and looked up at Lan Ge. "Master, then find a way for us to get out of here. We can find Jiuyin after we go to the city of Wonderland quickly."
Leaving this place is what all three people want to do now. But how to leave is a problem.
Lan Ge knows Ye Qingwu's determination to find Jiuyin, and also understands that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. But since you want to leave this place first, you must first find out where it is.
"If I guess correctly, this place should be a capital that was suddenly destroyed many years ago, the legendary ancient capital of the desert." Lan Ge looked at the desert in front of him with his hands and said deeply.
Ye Qingwu had never heard of this place, so he was very surprised, "Where is that ancient capital of the desert?"
Lan Ge smiled and did not answer directly, but turned his eyes to Canglan. Canglan frowned and thought carefully. Since the old man left, he had been recalling the ancient capital of the desert, because he felt too familiar.
"There is a very beautiful legend in this place. I don't know if you have heard of it?" Lan Ge looked at Cang Lan and asked softly.
Canglan shook her head. She couldn't even remember the ancient capital of the desert, not to mention the legend?
Lange smiled, looked up at the bright moon covered by clouds in the sky, and told the legend about the ancient capital of the desert.
