In this world, Zhongzhou is the center of the world.
Not only does it have a vast territory, but it also has the strongest aura, as well as many famous mountains, rivers, caves, and blessed places.
Hence, since ancient times, Zhongzhou has been the most desirable place for monks in the world.
Outside of Zhongzhou, it is equally vast and is divided into many large and small states.
Going straight to the east, what you can see is the vast sea.
To the north, there are endless ice fields.
Going to the south, you will see the continuous mountains and dense forests.
As for heading west, what you will see in the end will be the sky full of wind and sand, and the endless desert.
The land in the far west is a desert within a desert.
It’s as hot as a furnace here, extremely hot.
The atmosphere is as dry as the scorching fire.
Even if an ordinary person takes one breath, his lungs will be burned.
Such a harsh environment should logically be inaccessible to humans, making it difficult for any living being to survive.
However, in such a hot and dry desert, there is a place full of greenery from a distance.
There are also some simple houses located there, which are obviously occupied by people.
Suddenly, it was extremely calm, cloudless, and above a blue sky, a figure suddenly appeared, standing high in the sky out of nothingness.
Lu Qing's eyes were strange as he looked at the small green oasis among the thousands of miles of yellow sand below.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a small, vibrant oasis in the depths of the desert, which is extremely hot and should be a restricted area of life. Is it the power of the wooden spirit bead?"
Feeling the fluctuations of the spirit beads coming from underneath, Lu Qing had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
Yes, he came here this time just to get the Wood Spirit Pearl.
However, the current situation was somewhat beyond his expectation.
That wooden spirit bead does not seem to be silent, but has evolved a miracle of life in this desert.
Lu Qing's body fell slowly while observing the situation of the oasis below.
This oasis is not big, only about two or three miles.
There are dozens of simple houses inside, so the population is obviously not too small.
Trees are dotted among them, and there are children chasing and playing among them.
In the center of the oasis, there is a shallow lake with faint fish swimming in it.
The entire oasis exudes a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.
When Lu Qing fell, he did not conceal his body and aura.
One of the group of children who were chasing and fighting accidentally raised his head and saw Lu Qing slowly falling from the sky.
Suddenly his mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, he pointed to the sky and was speechless for a long time.
After a while, he suppressed a shout: "Immortal!"
The other children looked in the direction he pointed, and the next moment, their eyes all widened.
The news of the appearance of the immortal quickly spread throughout the oasis.
Everyone was extremely shocked when they saw Lu Qing in the sky.
Not long after, a decrepit old man slowly came to the oasis under the urging of everyone.
The old man saw Lu Qing standing in the air out of thin air, his cloudy eyes widened at first, and then he lay down and knelt down to Lu Qing to bow down.
"Greetings to the Immortal! I wonder if the Immortal has come, so what are you doing?"
As the old man lay down, the crowd behind him also knelt down.
"Are you the leader here?" Lu Qing said lightly.
"The old man is the head of the Qiu clan in Huangsha Village." The old man answered.
“I’m here to find a strange bead, it’s probably green. Do you have any clues?” Lu Qing asked directly.
Hearing these words, the old man trembled suddenly.
The people behind him were also in a commotion.
The old man looked at Lu Qing and felt bitter in his heart.
He knew that the only thing that could attract such immortals who could fly into the sky and escape from the earth was the village's sacred object.
However, under Lu Qing's dull gaze, the old man did not dare not answer.
"Shangxian Mingjian, there is indeed such a bead in my village, but it is a sacred object passed down from generation to generation in our Huangsha Village.
The reason why this oasis exists in this endless desert is entirely dependent on that sacred object.
。
Otherwise, without the protection of the sacred objects, our Huangsha Village may be swallowed up by the dust in the sky in less than three days.
All the villagers were buried under the yellow sand. "
As the old man spoke, he kept kowtowing to Lu Qing.
The tone is sad and makes people feel sad.
The villagers behind the old man also kowtowed to Lu Qing at this time.
Faced with mysterious beings like Lu Qing who knew the art of flying, they did not dare to have any resistance, and could only pray that the other party would be merciful and show mercy.
Lu Qing looked at the villagers kneeling below.
Most of them don’t even have decent clothes, and just cover their bodies with leaves, etc., or simple woven fabrics.
At a glance, you can tell that although these people are living in this oasis, they are definitely not living and working in peace and contentment.
It would be better to say that he is just barely surviving.
But there was no change on his face.
Just said lightly: "That bead is very important to me, I must take it away."
Hhearing this, the old man's eyes showed despair.
But Lu Qing's next words made him suddenly startled.
"But I will give you a choice, that is, if you are willing, I can take you all out of the desert and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to settle down."
All the villagers who heard this were also stunned.
After a while, the old man said in disbelief: "Shangxian, you said you can take us out of this endless desert?"
"Do you think I need to deceive you?" Lu Qing said calmly, "Of course, the choice is yours. If you want to be buried in this endless desert with this oasis, I have no objection."
The old man hesitated.
Yes, with a being like Lu Qing, there is really no need to deceive them.
If they really have bad intentions and just rob them head-on, they wouldn't be able to resist them.
"Shangxian, this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the clan members."
Hence even though he was very moved, the old man still said respectfully.
"I can give you a quarter of an hour." Lu Qing nodded.
"Thank you, Immortal."
The old man kowtowed to Lu Qing.
When he turned around, what he saw was a scorching gaze.
"Patriarch, what are you still discussing? Hurry up and agree to go to the immortal!"
"Yeah, it's rare for an immortal to be willing to take us out, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"If we miss this opportunity, we may never be able to leave here again!"
"Patriarch, there is no need to hesitate anymore!"
…
Come on, listening to the urging of the tribesmen, the old man knew that there was no need to discuss it.
Obviously, these guys are more anxious than themselves.
But he also understood the reason for this.
Over the years, the population of the village has gradually increased, but the village is only so big.
Although we can still make a living now, we are already stretched thin.
If this continues, their life may become increasingly difficult.
Hand in an endless desert, it was difficult for them to even identify the direction, let alone go out.
So now that Lu Qing is willing to take them out, it is really the most timely life-saving straw.
Thinking of this, the old man no longer hesitated.
turn around and kneel down to Lu Qing.
"Shangxian, we have discussed it, and I beg you to be able to take us all out."
"I beg you, the Immortal, to take us all out!"
Other villagers also kowtowed to Lu Qing again.
Lu Qing's face showed a smile: "Take me over first to see if your sacred object is what I need."
Soon, Lu Qing was brought to an old tree that was not tall, but very thick, and had an extremely developed root system.
The root system of the old tree also forms a small temple, protecting something inside.
That was an orb glowing green.
"Shangxian, this is the sacred object passed down from generation to generation in our Huangsha Village." The old man said with some anxiety.
If he was worried that Lu Qing was coming to rob his village of the sacred objects.
Now, there is great hope. This is what Lu Qing wants.
Because only in that way can their clan have hope of leaving this endless desert.
Lu Qing looked at the green orb.
In fact, before he came here, he was sure that this was the Wood Spirit Bead.
It's just that unlike other spiritual beads that have been silent, this wooden spiritual bead has obviously been in a state of recovery.
I don’t know if the environment here stimulated its recovery, or if there are other reasons.
With a move of the hand, the wooden spirit bead trembled slightly in the small temple and was about to fly out.
But the next moment, a strange force held it in place, and the roots of the old tree suddenly closed in, tightly wrapping the Wood Spirit Bead.
At the same time, an angry thought came from the old tree, which seemed to be really angry at this.
cedous focuseddie ″This sudden change has directly caused the old man beside him to step back in shock .
Hum pointed at the old tree, his mouth wide open, his face full of shock.
It seemed that he did not expect that this old tree that his family had worshiped for hundreds of years could still move like a living creature.
“Oh, has spirituality evolved?”
Lu Qing raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
This old tree is extremely hidden, even he was somewhat hidden just now.
Of course, this is also related to his focus on the Wood Spirit Bead.
Mu Lingzhu's rich power of wood also covered up the spirituality of this old tree.
However, how could an old tree that had just given birth to spirituality cause trouble to Lu Qing.
A wisp of transparent flame suddenly appeared in his hand.
Hence said indifferently: "Release the spirit beads, or I will burn you to death."
Hence Nan Mingli's branches and leaves immediately trembled as soon as the fire came out.
It instinctively felt that the flames on Lu Qing's hands were extremely terrifying.
If it falls on it, it will definitely be unable to resist it based on its little ability, and I am afraid it will be burned to death in an instant.
But the old tree was very reluctant to give up the Wood Spirit Pearl.
In the end, the old tree sent a very aggrieved wave towards Lu Qing.
"You said that without this wood spirit bead, you would not be able to withstand the heat of this endless desert, and would eventually wither slowly?"
Lu Qing felt the fluctuations coming from the old tree, and became enlightened.
He thought for a few breaths and said: "I must take this wooden spirit bead. If you don't want to slowly wither and die here, then come with me.
I will find you a blessed place in the Lingshan Mountain, which will not only allow you to take root and live in peace, but also allow you to practice better in the future.
This place is ultimately a desert land with thin air.
Even if you have the Wood Spirit Bead, your practice will ultimately be difficult to achieve. 》
When the old tree heard Lu Qing's words, its branches and leaves shook slightly, as if it was thinking about something.
Lu Qing was not in a hurry and stood there quietly waiting. The Nanmingli Fire in his hand was not extinguished.
He did not take action immediately, but thought that it was not easy for this old tree to grow in this endless desert and be able to give birth to spirituality.
But if this guy is really ignorant, he doesn't mind burning him as firewood.
Happily, although Old Shu is a bit dull, he is not a fool after all.
After thinking for a moment, it finally made a decision and sent out a wave.
Lu Qing felt this and raised his eyebrows: "You want to follow me and practice under my protection? It's simple, I can promise you."
Among all things in the world, it is very difficult for wood, stone, grass and insects to give birth to spiritual wisdom.
This old tree has spiritual wisdom. Although its combat power is not worth mentioning, it is still very useful for sorting out the earth's energy, acting as an eye for formations, and consolidating formations.
It is just a tree anyway, and can be planted anywhere.
It is not easy for Lu Qing to seek asylum.
After hearing Lu Qing's assurance, the old tree felt a wave of joy.
Without Lu Qing's urging, he took the initiative to loosen the root system and send the wood spirit bead to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was not polite, stretched out his hand to hold it, and immediately felt the extremely rich vitality coming from the Wood Spirit Bead.
The power of wood represents vitality.
The most strange thing about this wooden spirit bead is the endless vitality contained within it.
It is precisely because of this that this oasis can maintain it for so long in this endless desert.
After sending out the Wood Spirit Bead, there was also a vibration from where the old tree was.
I saw it slowly pulling out the huge root system that penetrated deep into the ground.
At the same time, it is also gradually shrinking.
In the end, it turned into a small tree over three feet tall with countless tiny roots.
Then he jumped slightly and came to Lu Qing.
tied in ′′
The old tree was shocked. The next moment, it felt that it had fallen into a strange space.
At this time, Lu Qing's voice also sounded from above his head.
"You stay here for now, and after you get out, I will find a good place to let you out.
Just rely on the power of the Wood Spirit Bead to maintain yourself for the time being. "
After the words fell, a green orb fell in front of the old tree.
After hearing this, the old tree felt a little relieved.
Since Lu Qing even put the Wood Spirit Pearl in, he must have not deceived it.
It immediately stretched out several roots and fell on the wood spirit bead, absorbing the power of the wood in it to maintain itself.
After settling the old tree, Lu Qing looked at the stunned head of Huangsha Village.
"Old man, go and ask your tribe to pack up and prepare to follow me out of here."
The old man woke up from a dream and said quickly: "Yes, yes! Please wait a moment, let's get ready!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out, feeling even more excited.
The miraculous methods Lu Qing showed just now truly demonstrated his vast magical power.
He no longer had the slightest doubt whether Lu Qing could lead them out of this endless desert.
The power of hope is always strong.
The villagers of Huangsha Village did not let Lu Qing wait long before they all gathered in the center of the village.
"Shangxian, we have packed everything."
The old man came to Lu Qing carrying a small package on his back.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.
He took a look and found that in fact, each villager did not carry much.
The most common food is dry food such as dried fish.
Furthermore, it’s just a small rattan basket.
There are very few other items.
Even pots and pans were hardly seen.
It can be said that everyone is pitifully poor.
But this is not surprising.
After all, this small oasis has a low production capacity and is very scarce in supplies.
So even if they accumulate for generations, these villagers still don’t have much to carry.
Lu Qing didn't say anything.
Just for a moment, a whirlpool was formed and all the villagers were taken into the Lihuo Cauldron.
Then he turned into a stream of light, went straight up to Qingming, and flew out of the endless desert.
