I Can’t Be a Sword God

The vast dusk of the boundless sandy land.

Desert, lonely smoke, straight.

Long river, sunset, bend.

A huge bird with its wings spread roared past, heading towards the setting sun, as if trying to blend into it before the last twilight disappeared.

This big bird is the master and apprentice from Deyun Temple. Riding on this bird sponsored by Empress Mingyan, he headed to Bailang Kingdom.

Yu Qi'an and Wang Longqi were side by side, their arms trembling. According to his own statement, Yu Qi'an's cultivation base is all in the well, and Wang Longqi has always been a mortal. In addition, his kidney deficiency makes the two of them freeze like two grandchildren under the high-altitude flight.

Old Du's situation is a little better, after all, he has practiced for decades, and the Yuan Yang has not been released for decades, the original kidney is much better than the first two.

The little koi is a demon after all, and after holding the immortal phoenix guts for so many days of cultivation, as long as he doesn't talk about his head, he is absolutely fine in other aspects.

As for Li Chu...

If he hadn't taken other people's physique into consideration, he could have eaten, soaked in the bath, massaged his feet and drank tea in Bailangguo at this time.

At this moment, he was sitting quietly on the bird's neck with his eyes closed, looking like he was in his own bedroom.

"Hey, I really don't know why I have to suffer this kind of crime. Wouldn't it be nice to drink tea warmly in the south of the Yangtze River..." Wang Longqi complained.

Yu Qi'an nodded, and said: "Yes, the old Taoist is already old enough to take care of his life, but he still has to travel around."

Old Du in front couldn't help but said: "Seventh Young Master, Master... We are here because of the two of you, if you want to retreat, that would be great. Let's pack our bags as soon as possible, and go back now." .”

"Don't even think about it." Yu Qi'an glared, "Don't just pack your luggage, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, you must go forward bravely."

"Yes, yes." Wang Longqi also clenched his fists and said, "No matter how hard or tired you are, you must persevere, just for my son's expectant eyes..."

"If you two are really determined... don't use me as a shield..." Old Du said helplessly.

It turned out that he was a head taller than others when he sat down tall, which was just right for him to keep out the biting cold wind. Wang Longqi shrank behind him, and Yu Qi'an shrank behind Wang Longqi, trying to hide.

"Old Du, you are of no use at all. If you don't help keep out the wind, why do you think you are here? Others have to spend money to travel. You are purely public funds." Wang Longqi said.

"Who is useless? I didn't carry the luggage?" Old Du was suddenly dissatisfied, "Every day I carry the burden, I lead the bird, welcome the sunrise and send the sunset away..."

"There is a demon spirit." Li Chu in front suddenly opened his eyes.

"What?" Several people were shocked.

I looked around, but I was in a daze thousands of miles above the sky, how could there be any shadow of a monster?

"Master, you are talking about..." Old Du was about to ask.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.

boom--

After a while, there were waves on the ground.

A powerful tornado whizzed from the front, like a huge vortex soaring upwards, sweeping up and down in an instant, it was a desert storm born on the ground!

Rumble——

Although Li Chu reacted, the bird they were riding on was not that powerful. They couldn't dodge in time, and crashed into the storm in front of them, and was instantly swallowed up.

The screams of the master and apprentice were also drowned in the roaring waves of the storm.

The impact of the storm on Li Chu was negligible. He was slightly suspended in the air, but the big bird and the master and apprentice under him were all swept away in an instant, and could not be pulled back again.

If a sword splits the storm, it may not be impossible to stop it. But the masters and apprentices were scattered among them, maybe they were caught somewhere, and it was inevitable that there would be accidental injuries.

Li Chu quickly made a decision. The origin of this storm was definitely not simple. He opened his mind, followed the trace of evil spirit to find the place where the storm started, and then Yu Jian killed it.

Whoosh—

A fire meteor passed through the gray-brown storm, and instantly landed on a moving sand dune in the distance.

But there is no figure here, only a cone-shaped instrument with four talismans attached, which seems to be the chief culprit of the desert storm.

And the real mastermind behind the scenes probably knew how powerful Li Chu was, and had already fled far away.

Without hesitation, Li Chu smashed the magic weapon with one sword.

boom--

As the magic weapon shattered, the huge storm in the air exploded again, and with a strong whirl force, it ruthlessly flung out the human and animal objects rolled up in the storm.

Li Chu opened his eyes, without the cover of the storm, he locked onto the figures of the master and apprentice in an instant, and then turned back and forth with Yu Jian.

Whoosh whoosh...

Yu Qi'an, Wang Longqi, the little koi, the big bird on the mount...

Before everyone fell to the ground and fell into a pig's head, they successfully caught everyone and safely lifted them to the ground.

etc……

It seems that I forgot something.

Looking left and right, he went to the back of the sand dune ahead and pulled out Old Du who was stuck in the sand with only two legs exposed, as if pulling out a big black radish.

Now, everyone finally gathered without any danger.

"The climate in this desert is really changing rapidly. Such a terrible storm can come and go as soon as it is said..." Wang Longqi said with lingering fear.

"No..." Li Chu shook his head and said, "This storm is not easy..."

"Anyway, it's getting dark now, and our mount has been seriously injured..." Yu Qi'an looked at the big bird that was wrapped up in a mess, "Why don't you find a place to rest for a while and have a barbecue?" , let’s hurry up tomorrow morning.”

When the big bird heard this, it was startled, and it struggled with its two paws to get up. Apparently it's smart enough to realize that there's not much left to grill right now...

At this moment, the little jin carp suddenly said, "Huh? Is there a village in front?"

"Where?" Wang Longqi and Lao Du looked over suspiciously, but the night was vast and the yellow sand was long, so how could they see the shadow of the village?

"Here." The little koi pointed to the side.

It turned out that there was a very strong wooden sign where everyone was standing, with an arrow drawn on it, and it was written: "There is a village ahead."

"Hey, it's really a thoughtful road sign." Wang Longqi said with a smile: "Then let's go and have a look?"

"At this point, it's the only way to go." Yu Qi'an nodded, agreeing to the proposal.

Old Du wondered, "Suddenly there is a road sign in this wilderness, so there is no fraud, right?"

Wang Longqi said: "You will know if you go and have a look. With me and Li Chu here, what are you afraid of?"

Li Chu looked at the wooden sign and felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. In the past, he might have worried that this was a monster's conspiracy. But now... Although he would doubt it, he was not afraid.

There are monsters, just get rid of them.

Following the guidance of a wooden sign, the few people walked all the way, and they saw the shadow of a village not far away.

There happened to be an old man walking in front of the village. When he saw the figures of several people, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Oh, by the looks of you, you must be travelers who have come from a long way and lost their way, right? Come in and have a rest." He waved his hands enthusiastically.

"Welcome to Xilan Village."

After getting better recently, I don't get sleepy as easily as before, and I started to suffer from insomnia again. I feel a little uncomfortable these days...
