It was as cold as a knife outside the boat, but it was as warm as spring inside the boat.
Those soldiers of Xueshi Pass, who were originally hungry and cold, after entering Li Sen's swordfish spirit boat, showed an incredible look on their faces when they boarded, and then looked around left and right, and felt very rare when they saw anything.
Compared with these ordinary soldiers who watched back and forth, with a sigh in their mouths, the ascetic old monk was much calmer.
After he entered the spirit boat, he sat down on the spot without squinting, looking at ease.
Although the dry food and other food that Li Sen carried with him were not much, they were more than enough to supply a few soldiers guarding the gates.
That night, after those soldiers had a full meal, they stayed in this warm place for another night, and when they woke up the next day, they were all grateful, and regarded Li Sen as a re-creation immortal.
The next morning, Li Sen left all his reserves of dry food in the snow stone pass, and then prepared to leave.
At this time, Li Sen looked at the ascetic on the side and said, "I don't know what else the master has to do, and Li can help without Li." ” "You, although you have a good mind, your utilitarian heart is too strong."
The ascetic old monk shook his head: "There are some people in this Xueshi Pass within a radius of thousands of miles, although we are late, but we have done our best, so as not to blame ourselves in the future."
However, the poor monk owes you a favor. ” Speaking of this, the ascetic monk looked at Li Sen with a calm face, and his eyes were extremely quiet, as if he had already seen through Li Sen's thoughts.
"With all due respect, you are not from the Eastern Continent.
Look at some of the decorative traces in your spirit boat, you should be a person from the Yuanyang Continent, this time you came to the Flying Sand Continent, it seems that you are deliberately looking for an ascetic like me, what do you want to do?"
Although the ascetic monk's tone was extremely calm, without any reproach or questioning Li Sen's appearance, Li Sen felt that this monk was quite guarded.
If it weren't for the fact that he personally helped him save these soldiers in Xueshi Pass, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said these words to himself at all.
However, the reason why Li Sen came here is not unusual.
Therefore, Li Sen thought for a while, and replied directly: "Don't hide it, Master, I came to the Flying Sand Continent this time to find you ascetic monks at the behest of Master Yuanming of Kuzhu Island in Yuanyang Continent, and strongly advised you to go to Kuzhu Island with me. ” "Yuanming" The ascetic old monk frowned slightly when he heard this, "I haven't heard of this person."
It's Kuzhu Island, which seems to have some vague impressions, but I can't remember it.
You may not know that we ascetics are only focused on the refinement of the Dharma and our own cultivation, and we are not interested in anything else.
If you want us to get out of here, I'm afraid it's going to be even harder. ” "Even if it is difficult, it is not an excuse for Li to retreat."
Li Sen said in a deep voice: "I don't know which Buddhist predecessor is presiding over the affairs of the Feisha Continent now, and Li wants the master to introduce it on his behalf." ” "Our ascetic monks have always been scattered all over the Flying Sand Continent, and few people have presided over them.
Even I rarely see other Buddhist monks.
The ascetic replied.
Hearing this, Li Sen's heart sank.
However, the ascetic old monk seemed to remember something temporarily, and spoke again: "Recently, however, I heard that in Loulan, there is going to be a five-year pulpit conference dedicated to explaining Buddhism and expounding the way of asceticism.
If you have time, try your luck there. ” Li Sen's expression moved: "In this case, the master may wish to go with Li." ” "No, austerity is a journey, and a journey is practice.
Wind and rain are like obscurity, ice and snow are like knives, only in this way can the body and mind be tempered, so that people do not stay in the flashy foreign things in the world.
Once the poor monk has his wish, he should not be here for a long time and say goodbye. ” After the old monk finished saying this, he really saluted Li Senhe, and then put on his tattered robe and left from the snow and stone pass.
Seeing this, the soldiers of Xueshi Pass hurriedly went to deliver it, but they didn't take a few steps after following, only to feel that the wind and snow in front of them suddenly flourished, and people could hardly open their eyes.
When they finally stopped their embarrassment and regained their sight, they found that only a piece of snow was left in front of them, and the figure of the ascetic had already disappeared into the wind and snow, and they could no longer be seen.
No, not only the ascetics, but even the extremely large spirit boat in the field disappeared without a trace.
If it weren't for the clear traces of the spirit boat in the same place, I'm afraid that today's events would be like a dream for these soldiers in Xueshi Pass.
Since the ascetic old monk was unwilling to go with Li Sen, Li Sen naturally would not open his mouth and force him to stay.
After leaving Jincheng, Li Sen spent about a day saving a lot of lives, and finally learned an important clue from the mouth of this ascetic old monk, that is, the five-year pulpit conference in Loulan is about to begin, and this pulpit conference is an important gathering of many ascetics in the Feisha Continent.
On that day, after Li Sen flew away from Xueshi Pass, he went straight to Loulan.
The oasis is like a silver hook, and the desert is as barren as the sea.
Lou Lan is located in a desert in the Flying Sand Continent, close to a small oasis, there is a lake in the continent, the lake is very shallow and only knee-long, but it is the only source of water in this desert.
Loulan was originally an ancient country, and it was also rich in history, and it was also the only city with walls outside the Snow Stone Pass leading to the hinterland of the Feisha Continent.
Unfortunately, with the depletion of water in the oasis, most of the residents of Loulan fled, and most of them moved into Jincheng in Tianliang County.
A small number of them fled to several other desert cities in the Flying Sand Continent.
Today, only a handful of a few hundred old and weak women and children remain.
It is about 300,000 miles away from Xueshi Pass, surrounded by a sandy desert, and when the wind rises on a sunny day, it is a wild sand roll, almost burying all the caravans of the Eastern Continent under the sand dunes.
Therefore, it is very rare for an Eastern Continent caravan to be able to cross such a distance every year.
In contrast, people from the Cultivation Realm like Li Sen came here more often.
Although the Flying Sand Continent is extremely barren in various resources, it is quite a metallic magic weapon material, so every year some monks come here to find some excellent materials for making magic weapons and magic weapons.
Even Leeson was no exception.

Li Sen has been pursuing Jin Geng all these years, and he has saved less than a pound in his hands so far.
There is still a long way to go before making a full-Jin Geng size Jin Geng sword.
After coming to Loulan at this time, Li Sen glanced left and right and didn't see an ascetic, so he decided to inquire about Jin Geng's news here first.
After some inquiry, Li Sen got a total of good news and bad news.
The good news is that among the only Xiuzhen shops in Loulan, Jin Geng was really found by Li Sen.
The bad news is that the weight of these Jin Geng is very small, so small that it can almost be described as dregs.
That handful of Jin Geng slag is not so much Jin Geng, but rather some leftovers that were discarded when making Jin Geng's magic weapon.
These scraps are too fine to make high-end goods at the magic weapon level, and at best, they can only make some magic tools that the monks in the foundation building period pointed out.
In this way, the power and effect are naturally far less than Li Sen's expectations.
Fortunately, although the things are not very good, they are cheaper.
A thousand spirit stones can be packed and taken away.
In the face of this extremely tempting price, Li Sen did not hesitate anything, and directly took the full amount.
Li Sen felt that although these leftovers could only be used to make magic weapons, the magic weapons made from these Jin Geng slags were definitely first-class top-level existences.
In the future, even if Li Sen doesn't need it, it can be used as a gift to Chu Yue's father and daughter.
The shopkeeper was also in a good mood when he saw Li Sen spending so much money, so when Li Sen inquired about the situation of the pulpit conference with him, the shopkeeper, who had lived in the Feisha Continent for a long time, directly revealed all the information he knew.
"It is true that the dervishes hold pulpit conferences every five years, but the location varies, the last time in Tashkent, and the last time in Ili.
I'll tell you honestly, although there are a lot of these ascetics, they don't have the slightest oil or water, they don't have storage bags with them at any time, and they don't have a single spirit stone.
Only a dress that has been ragged for many years.
This group of people is like beggars everywhere they go, and businessmen like us hate to deal with such people."
The yellow-faced shopkeeper with eight eyebrows seemed to be endlessly talking about ascetics, while Li Sen stood in place, tirelessly listening to him finish all the news related to ascetics.
In the end, Li Sen came to the conclusion that ascetics were not only unpopular in the Eastern Continent, but also discriminated against in this Flying Sand Continent.
The most often titled beggar is beggar, followed by eccentric.
At this time, even Li Sen couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart.
It seems that this kind of special group of people who have detached themselves from the world and are despised by everyone in the world, is it really as Yuan Ming said, they are indispensable for the great cause of resisting demons Just when Li Sen's heart was slightly shaken, the shopkeeper turned the topic to the aspects that have been particularly difficult to do recently, and as soon as the conversation box opened, he talked endlessly, as if he couldn't stop for a while.
Li Sen had no choice but to interrupt and ask: "This shopkeeper, do you know when the pulpit conference began?"
"It should be soon, according to the habit of the monks, it will start at the beginning of April.
At the beginning of April, everything recovers, and even this cold and bitter flying sand continent will have a trace of warmth at that time.
Speaking of which, these guys are really good at picking the time, I remember the last time they opened a pulpit in Tashkent, there were hundreds of people, and that small western city was almost full of ragged ascetics, all of them strange and varied, almost like a hundred ghosts walking at night" The shopkeeper seemed to know a lot, and it seemed that no one had spoken to him for a long time, and after opening his mouth for a while, he began to talk endlessly.
But Li Sen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Isn't it ten days from the beginning of April, it looks like we're going to have to wait here for a while
