Chapter 21 Demonic Dragon
After bringing the horses to the stables, a sandstorm followed, and the strong wind blew several people to the point where they could no longer stand. Fortunately, a few people hid in the stables, otherwise they would all be swept up to the sky, and they could experience the feeling of ascending to heaven in advance.
Oddly enough, after the sandstorm passed, the sky that was covered with clouds just now suddenly became sunny.
Everyone stood outside the stable with lingering fear, looking at the bright sky and patting the sand on their bodies.
"The power of nature is indeed beyond what human beings can contend with."
Wang Ye recalled the sandstorm just now and sighed in his heart. The scene was like the end of the world. Fortunately, they were on the edge of the sandstorm, otherwise he would not be able to escape even if he had martial arts.
"Sigh... I don't know if there are any martial arts at the immortal martial level in the system?"
If there is, I might be able to compete.
"Thank you so much, young man."
At this time, Lao Yangpi glanced at everyone, and finally said to Wang Ye, cupping his hands.
"Old man, you're welcome."
Wang Ye replied with clasped fists, and at the same time looked at Lao Sheeppi.
He is in his fifties or sixties, with a thin build, a face full of weather and vicissitudes, and a large dark spot over his left eye.
Lao Yangpi was once a member of the Ni'er Society, but compared to Sun Kaoshan, he was considered a good person, and he didn't do anything bad in the original drama.
"Sitian girl, who are these young people?"
Lao Yangpi nodded to him, then looked at Ding Sitian and asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Yang, I forgot to introduce you." Ding Sitian smiled apologetically, "They are all my friends from the Northeast."
She introduced several people to each other: "Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, Wang Ye, and Comrade Yanzi. This is my head of household, Mr. Yangpi."
"Hello, uncle." Several people greeted Lao Yangpi.
"Okay, okay..." Lao Yangpi nodded repeatedly and closed the stable fence.
"Uncle, why did a sandstorm suddenly appear on this beautiful day?" Hu Bayi asked in confusion.
"That's not a sandstorm." Lao Yangpi said while tightening the loose fence.
Hu Bayi and Wang Ye looked at each other, and then asked: "What is that?"
"It's... the Mobei Demon Dragon." Lao Yangpi hesitated before speaking, and then continued to check other fences.
"Demon dragon?"
Several people looked at each other in confusion. Even Ding Sitian, who had been joining the queue in Kelenzuo Banner for several months, had not heard of any legend about the dragon.
Wang Ye does know that the so-called Mobei Demonic Dragon is said to be a strange celestial phenomenon in the original drama, but whether it is true in this world remains to be explored.
"What do you think that is?"
Lao Hu and Fatty obviously didn't believe in any demonic dragons. Just as they were about to retort, they suddenly heard Yan Zi's exclamation. They looked back and saw an inward-dented basin appearing in the sky with countless holes on it.<
/p>
"That's a mirage." Wang Ye frowned, "It's formed by the refraction of light in a large medium."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lao Yangpi: "Old man, there are grasslands for hundreds of miles around here, but what kind of land is there?"
"That's the legendary Baiyan Cave, no one can find it." Lao Yangpi said with a Qin opera.
"I heard from local herdsmen that the Japanese water supply troops were stationed at Baiyan Cave." Ding Sitian straightened her hair on her forehead and remembered that she had heard the herdsmen talk about Baiyan Cave.

"Old man, why did the Japanese settle down there with no village or store?" Hu Bayi asked, looking at Lao Yangpi.
"No one knows about this." Lao Yangpi shook his head and continued to sort out the forage.
"Old Wang, Fatty, why don't we go to the Baiyan Cave tomorrow?" Hu Bayi asked, looking at the two of them.
"Okay." Wang also nodded.
"Sure." Fatty also agreed.
"The evil dragon commits evil and will never come back, so don't make fun of your own life." Lao Yangpi finished sorting the forage, picked up the shotgun and walked towards the yurt.
"Old man, why don't you let us go?" Yanzi approached Lao Yangpi and asked.
"Uncle, Hu Bayi and the others have come all the way. Just tell me. I want to hear it too." Ding Sitian was also a little curious.
"Oh... let's talk in the tent, and have a sip of hot tea by the way." Lao Yangpi thought for a while, then sighed and said, "After all, you have come a long way, and it's cold outside."
Ding Sitian smiled apologetically, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm just talking. Hu Bayi, you guys go into the tent and I'll make tea."
Several people followed Lao Yangpi into the tent.
As soon as they entered the tent, they were immediately cut off from the howling north wind. This was the first time for Wang Ye and the others to come to the grassland, and they looked around curiously.
Especially the fat man, who couldn't sit still at all. From time to time he would get close to the felt carpet and look at the complicated and beautiful patterns on it, and he was full of amazement.
Lao Hu will be much quieter.
I just looked up at the horn ornaments of cows, horses and antelopes hanging around the tent.
"Lao Hu, Fatty, Comrade Wang Ye, Comrade Yan Zi, come and taste the pot tea on the grassland to get rid of the cold."
Ding Sitian brought over several cups of hot milk tea and a plate of milk tofu.
"Hey, Xiao Ding still understands me."
As soon as he heard there was something delicious, the fat man immediately came back.
They came from Ganggang Yingzi and went through trains, carts, and then walked into the grassland. It took several days. They had already eaten all the dry food and were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.
Now that I saw a large plate of food, I couldn’t even think of talking and just swallowed it.
"Old man, please tell me what is going on in this Hundred-Eyed Cave." Wang Ye took a sip of hot tea and said.
When Lao Hu and the others heard this, they thought, yes, they were busy eating, but they forgot about this, and then they all looked at Lao Yangpi.
Lao Yangpi lit up the tobacco stick and smoked, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and after a long time he spoke in a sad tone.
"This Baiyan Cave is a lifeless place, the Palace of the King of Hell. It has been a forbidden place that no one dares to go to for hundreds of thousands of years. People living on the grassland, for generations, even the cattle and sheep who regard their lives have gone to Baiyan Cave.
No one dares to look for it nearby."
"I'll tell you a story from the past, and you'll understand after listening to it."
After finishing smoking the dry cigarette, Lao Yangpi lit up the cigarette rod again, and amid the sound of smoking, he talked about an incident he had experienced many years ago.
A group of strangers came to the grassland, captured his brother, and forced him to lead the way to Baiyan Cave at gunpoint. Lao Yangpi followed secretly, hoping to find a chance to save people.
But near Baiyan Cave, he saw the black demon dragon with his own eyes. He was so frightened that he rolled and crawled back. After so many years, he is still tortured by nightmares.
"Old man, are you sure what you saw is really a dragon? Could it be a big python?"
Lao Yangpi's words were conclusive, and it didn't look like a lie, but if there were dragons in the world, how could Lao Hu believe it, so he asked tentatively.
"You young man, I am so old, how can I not be able to distinguish between dragon training and python? Then tell me, what kind of python can fly in the sky?"
Lao Yangpi retorted, and after finishing speaking, he smoked a dry cigarette without saying a word.
"..."
When Lao Hu heard the words, he couldn't answer for a while. Looking at Lao Yangpi's face, he knew that he was angry, but it was impossible for him to believe that there were dragons in the world, unless seeing was believing, but it was impossible to say that it was just a strange celestial phenomenon.
