On the desolate ancient road leading to the desert, a caravan made of camels was staggering forward. The leader of the group was an old man in his sixties riding a camel. His large hands, which were covered in calluses due to the fatigue of life, were holding a whip and constantly swinging it. His bronze-colored face had a pair of sparkling eyes that revealed vigilance.
The old man looked at the scorching sun above his head and turned to a young man with a tired face."Minada, stop the camel team and let them rest. Drink some water and eat some dry food. We will set off in an hour. We must reach the town of Wule River before dark and feed the camels with some water and grass.”
When Minada heard that he had to rest, eat, and drink water, his tired and lifeless eyes lit up. At the same time, he unconsciously licked his dry lips and shouted,"Everyone, listen up. Old Man Dalhan wants everyone to rest here for a while. Quickly unload the goods and let the camels rest. Then, come and get some clean water and dry rations. We'll rush to the town of Wule River in an hour. Hurry up. The cool spring water and fragrant flatbread are waiting for us.”
The leader, Old Man Dalhan, smiled and shook his head as he muttered to himself,"You're really a child. You were still dejected just now, but now you're alive again. It's still good to be young.”
Everyone quickly unloaded the goods and then surrounded Old Man Dalhan. Old Man Dalhan kept taking out flatbread from the bag beside him and then divided one piece each. He then opened the water bag. Everyone looked at the water bag with greedy eyes. Everyone took out metal cups of different sizes from their clothes. Old Man Dalhan divided the water equally.
One of them, a short man with a full beard, said,"Old man Dalhan, please give everyone more water. This amount of water is not enough for the whole morning.”The others also echoed. " This is the limit of the water I've given everyone," said Old Man Dalhan." This is the last bag of water for the entire team. If we give more, we won't be able to leave this desert in the afternoon. When they reached the town of Wule River, everyone could drink to their hearts 'content.”After saying that, he ignored everyone.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, and the sandstorm quickly attacked the camels.
" Minada, get everyone to gather the goods together!" Old Dalhan shouted." The camels are in a circle outside, with their heads facing inward. Quick!" Hurry!" After a moment of confusion, before they could adjust the goods and camels, they were drowned by the yellow sand.
The yellow sand raged for an hour. When the wind stopped, everyone shook off the sand on their bodies and helped each other gather the scattered goods. At this time, Minada found a man in Central Plains clothes lying next to the farthest pile of goods. He quickly walked over and turned the man over. He found that the man's breathing was weak, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.
Minada shouted at his father,"Father, he's still alive." Old Man Dalhan quickly walked over and bent his head down to listen to the man's chest for a while."He can still be saved. Minada, go get the water bag and feed him some water.”
When the short man with a full beard heard that his father was going to give this Central Plainsman water to drink, he couldn't help but say anxiously,"Old Man Dalhan, that was the last bag of water we had before we arrived at the small town of Ule River. You gave him some to drink, so we all have to drink less.”
" Since we've already met him, if we don't save him, he'll die in this desert," Elder Dalhan said." We don't have much water left, so you can bear with it. I'll drink less myself."”
When the bearded man heard what Father Dalhan said, his face couldn't help but turn red. He stuttered,""Dad, that's not what I meant. Saving people is more important. You're our captain, we can't lack water without you. Isn't that right, everyone?" After saying that, he looked at the people around him.
The person woke up after drinking a few mouthfuls of water. He looked at everyone and said,"Thank you." No one understood what he was saying and looked at Old Man Dalhan. Father Dalhan, who had traveled extensively, knew some Chinese. He said,"You're welcome. It's our duty to save people from the Desert Camels. How should I address you, young man?”
The person stood up with great effort and bowed.""I asked Qingyun and his companions to go to the Desert Quicksand Palace. I didn't want to meet the Sand Demon in the front, so I was blown here by the wind.”
Hearing this, Old Man Dalhan knelt down to the north piously and said,"Respected Quicksand God, your people are blessed by you. Happiness is with you. It was God who guided me to meet the warriors of the Central Plains.”
When everyone heard Da Er Han's father's words, they immediately looked at Qing Yun with pious expressions. They finally knew that Da Er Han's father had made the right decision to save him. Qingyun looked at everyone in confusion and said to Father Dalhan,"Uncle, how far is the Quicksand Palace from here?”
" This place is still 1,200 miles away from Quicksand's palace," Father Dalhan said." You must be an immortal, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to reach Quicksand Palace, because there's not even a drop of water in front of you."”
At this moment, a man with a cracked mouth walked towards Old Man Dalhan and said,""Dad, please give me some water. I'm really thirsty, really thirsty…”I haven't finished yet. What's the matter? br/
Qingyun stepped forward and helped him up. He said to Father Dalhan,""Uncle, give him some water. He's dying of thirst.”Darhan held the remaining half of the bag of water in his hand and looked at everyone. Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads. "What are you waiting for?" Qingyun asked. Give him some water!"
" This is the only water we have," Dalhan said." We're still 160 miles away from the next supply point. If we let him drink it, then the entire camel team won't be able to reach the next town.”Qingyun finally realized that he had drunk so much of their water. That water was their hope and life.
He felt very apologetic. He forcefully circulated his divine art to regulate his breathing. After feeling a little better, he took out a low-grade treasured weapon from his chest pocket---Water Gathering Bowl. This was something he had specially refined before he went deep into the desert. Then, he placed the water gathering bowl on the ground, and his hands continuously formed spells. Waves of mist began to emerge from the bowl, and then the mist turned into water, and the water continued to increase.
Everyone stared at the water in the bowl and swallowed their saliva greedily. After a while, Qingyun withdrew his mana. "Uncle, quickly find all the containers that you can use to hold water.”
When Darhan saw Qingyun's divine technique of gathering qi into water, he was shocked. He stood there with his mouth wide open. It was not until Qingyun spoke to him that he woke up from his shock. He called for everyone to get the water bags while bowing to Qingyun.
After everyone took the water bags, they looked at the small bowl of water in confusion. They thought that this little water was not enough for one person to drink. Why did they take so many water bags? Under everyone's confused gaze, Qingyun took the water bag from Minada and poured the water from the water gathering bowl into the water bag. A stream of clear spring water flowed out of the bowl and soon the water bag was full, but the water in the bowl did not decrease at all.
Everyone cheered and handed the water bags in their hands to Qingyun. Darhan quickly maintained order and had everyone fill their water bags according to their order. An hour later, everyone had filled their water bags and had a hearty meal at the same time. The hunger and thirst they had for the past few days had been completely resolved.
Darhan led everyone to kneel in front of Qingyun and said,""Thank you for the great god's blessing and the gift from Master Qingyun.”
Qingyun quickly helped everyone up." You saved me first. This is just a small matter to me. You saved me when there was so little water. It shows that you are so kind. Good people will be rewarded." " I'll give this Fusion Water Bowl to Uncle Darhan. This is the chant for using it. Uncle, please let me talk to you. I'll teach you the chant and how to use it. In the future, you won't have to worry about water shortage when you walk in the desert.”
When everyone heard that Qing Yun was going to give this treasure to Da Er Han's father, they couldn't help but kneel down and thank Qing Yun again.
At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from afar. As the sound grew louder, three people gradually appeared on the horizon. Two tall men in green were chasing a man in white. The man in white's left shoulder was stained with blood as he struggled to fly in the air.
When the people on the ground saw that immortals were fighting in the sky, they couldn't help but kneel down. Qing Yun looked up to the sky and saw that Yu Chunqiu was being chased by two green-clothed men. Yu Chunqiu could not take it anymore, so he did not hesitate anymore. He drew out his sword and used the Cloud Shocking Divine Power to attack the two green-clothed men.
Yu Chunqiu's heart was filled with joy as he fell to the ground from mid-air and fainted. Qingyun's left hand attacked the green-clothed man on the right with the Startling Cloud Palm, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand slashed at the green-clothed man on the left with the Twelve Stunning Cloud Forms.
The two men in green were about to capture Yu Chunqiu, but another person ran out and saved him. They couldn't help but be furious. Qi Shi's strange weapons, the Mother-Child Shuttle and Emei Spike, attacked Qingyun's Jade Pillow, Dazhui, Quchi, Huantiao, Danzhong, and Qimen. Qingyun used the Carefree Movement Technique to dodge their attacks and then pointed his finger at them.
A man in green said as he fought Qingyun,""Friend, we are the Desert Patrollers of the Sand God of the Heaven Destroying Sect. There is no grudge between us, but why are you standing up for that white-robed boy?”
Qingyun said," The Crippled Heaven Sect is the minions of the Sand Demon. They have been harming the desert for a long time. We are doing justice on behalf of the heavens. We should not conspire against each other. It is better to use our hands to deal with them."”
"Good!" I, the Sea Patroller of Sand, will grant you your wish and let you be reborn as soon as possible.”
After saying that, he shook the mother-child shuttle in his hand, and it turned into a golden light that pierced toward Qingyun's eyes. The other person turned the Emei Spike in his left hand into a black light and stabbed toward Qingyun's dantian. At the same time, he turned his right hand into a palm and used Dark Cloud Cover to slap Qingyun's head.
Qingyun bent his body and dodged the shuttle. The other person's palm was coming at him, but it was too late to dodge. He gathered his Genuine Qi with his left hand and turned his palm to meet the attack. With a loud bang, the airflow blew the sand around him into the sky.
When the dust settled down, only Xu Qingyun's mouth was bleeding. His face was pale and his chest was heaving.
The green-clothed man who was controlling the mother-child shuttle was injured, so he hurriedly urged his spiritual power to unleash the mother-child shuttle to its maximum power and hit Qingyun.
Qingyun's inner breath was in a mess, his Qi and blood were rolling, and he could not gather any spiritual power in his dantian. Seeing the mother-child shuttle coming at him, Qingyun closed his eyes in despair...
