"Western Desert?" When Zhou You heard this word, he felt a little strange.
"Yes! It's the Western Desert." Taoist Wu Liang said softly.
"This Western Desert is located in the territory to the west of the Yu Dynasty. It is a desolate desert, a place without life and full of death."
"Legend has it that a long time ago, there used to be a place full of life. Later, too many gods and demons died there. The resentment and death of the gods and demons polluted the life there, and it gradually turned into a land of death."
Hearing this, Zhou You had a look of surprise on his face.
Isn't this exactly the same as the Nine Nether Sea?
The Nine Nether Sea also became the current Sea of Death due to the fall of gods and demons.
It seems that the catastrophe at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty in the era of gods and demons really changed a lot of things.
Taoist Wu Liang continued: "However, there are countless relics of gods and demons in the Western Desert. Although it is a place of death, it is also a place of treasures. It attracts many people from the world every year."
"So there are no demons in the Western Desert?" Zhou You felt a little strange.
The Sea of Nine Netherworlds is filled with countless monsters. Logically speaking, the West Desert should be similar.
"Nonsense, there is no place without monsters? It's just that because the Western Desert is too barren, the number of monsters is very small, but the monsters that can survive in the Western Desert are all extremely powerful monsters."
"If ordinary people meet him, hehe." Taoist Wu Liang did not continue.
Zhou You was not a fool, so he naturally understood what he meant.
"How about it? I'm thinking of going to the Western Desert for a visit. Are you interested?"
Taoist priest Wu Liang chuckled.
"Wait a minute? You fat guy said so much, are you just trying to trick me into going to the Western Desert with you?"
Zhou You reacted.
This guy is talking nonsense. Maybe the place where gods and demons fell and the restricted area of death were all made up by this guy. There is no such thing at all.
It was just a lie to become a high-level thug for him.
"I swear in the name of Taoist ancestors, I have definitely read that ancient book!" Taoist Wu Liang said in a serious tone.
Zhou You heard that this guy even moved Daozu out, so he believed it.
But he soon fell into thinking.
There are two roads before him now.
The first one is, of course, to return to the Sea of Nine Netherworlds, continue to fight the monsters, and look for the relics of gods and monsters.
The next day, I went with this damn fat man to the unknown land of death in the Western Desert to explore the legendary forbidden land of death.
at last.
Zhou You still chooses to believe in Wu Liang.
After all, he and Wu Liang have had so many life-changing friendships, and this damn fat guy does have a lot of tricks, so it would be good to act together with him.
"Haha, if you and I, brothers, work together, this ancient tomb in the Western Desert is destined to be ours!"
Taoist priest Wu Liang was very happy.
Zhou You shook his head speechlessly.
This damn fat man is really stubborn.
The next day.
The two of them left Changfeng City and headed towards the West Desert.
After leaving the human city, Zhou You directly manifested the body of a god and demon, and flew into the sky with Taoist Priest Wu Liang.
At his current flying speed, flying at full strength is basically equivalent to three times the speed of sound, which is extremely fast.
The Western Desert was originally located in the far west of the Yu Dynasty, and was very far away.
At this flying speed, it only took ten days to reach an ancient city.
It was just a hardship for Taoist Wu Liang. The long-term high-speed flight and the weak body of the spiritual cultivator basically caused him to vomit almost even his intestines.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, Zhou You deliberately landed twenty miles away from this majestic ancient city and returned to human form.
Taoist Wu Liang had already turned pale and was foaming at the mouth.
As soon as he landed, he found a corner and kept vomiting.
While vomiting, he was cursing crazily: "Zhou You, I will never let you take me with you in the future, it's too damn torturous!"
Zhou You sneered: "Damn fat guy, he is an innate master after all, but he can't handle this speed? Are you afraid of being laughed at if you tell me?"
"Do you think everyone is like you? Tough-skinned and thick-skinned?"
After Taoist Wu Liang finished vomiting, he lay directly on a stone tablet and complained in a weak voice.
Zhou You didn't bother to pay attention to this damn fat man.
Instead, he looked at the looming outline of the ancient city in front of him, thoughtfully.
The Western Desert is a restricted area for life. There is no place where humans can survive. Naturally, there will be no large gathering places like cities.
The ancient city ahead is the last city before entering the Western Desert.
According to legend, this city was also built to prevent the invasion of demons from the Western Desert.
It's just that the demons in the West Desert seem to only care about their own one-third of an acre, and have no aggression towards human territory at all. There have been no large-scale invasions by demons in so many years, and only sporadic demons have sneaked into the city to hunt humans.
can be found clearly.
Starting from this area, the ground began to become barren.
There are only some weeds growing on the ground.
There was no grass growing in the distance, a strong wind blew by, and yellow sand filled the sky.
The temperature here is even hotter, and the air is almost visibly billowing with heat waves.
"Let's go."
Zhou You saw that Taoist Wu Liang was almost resting and said hello.
Taoist Wu Liang also wanted to go to the city to take a rest, so he quickly got up and followed Zhou You.
A journey of twenty miles is basically the time it takes for the two of them to burn incense.
Zhou You and Wu Liang soon arrived in front of the majestic ancient city.
"Guyang City?"
Zhou You looked at the three characters carved above the city gate and subconsciously read them out.
"This Guyang City is on the edge of the West Desert. This is the East City Gate. If you go out from the West City Gate, you will reach the West Desert."
Taoist priest Wu Liang seems to be very familiar with this place.
"How many times have you been here?" Zhou You asked.
"I've been here two or three times, but unfortunately I came back empty-handed each time."
"We must get a big vote this time!" Taoist Wu Liang said through gritted teeth.
As the only large city in the Western Desert, it is naturally heavily guarded.
There is a mirror hanging at the door, and everyone who enters the city must check it.
Fortunately, after traveling around and practicing the magic of the Five Emperors, the aura of gods and demons was completely hidden in his internal organs. If he hadn't exposed it on purpose, even the demon mirror wouldn't be able to identify it.
In this way, Zhou You and Taoist priest Wu Liang entered the city gate without any danger.
The architectural style of Guyang City is rough and bold, with a desert wildness, which also brings a different experience to travel around.
The people here are not surprised by outsiders like Zhou You and will not pay attention to them at all.
After all, if you want to enter the Western Desert, you will basically enter Guyang City to buy some supplies.
This also led to the extremely developed business of Guyang City.
These outsiders are simply the gods of wealth among the local people in Guyang City.
"The most important thing when entering the Western Desert is to find a guide, or at worst a map. Once you get lost in the Western Desert, the consequences will be very serious."
Taoist priest Wu Liang said softly.
"You even need a guide?" Zhou You laughed.
This damn fat man has a bronze compass, how could he need someone else to show him the way?
