The next morning.
The sky and the earth have just brightened, the sun has not yet completely jumped out of the horizon, and the desert still carries the coolness of last night. Taking advantage of the coolness, one person, one sheep, and three camels set foot on the road again.
The three camels asked curiously as they walked: "Taoist Master Jin'an, how do you know that the remains of the ancient river channel are buried in the yellow sand under our feet?"
Jin An held the rope of the goat, and the rope on the goat was connected to the three camels behind him. Jin An walked at the front, walking along the ancient river ruins invisible under the yellow sand under his feet, leaving their long string in the desert behind them.
footprints.
Ever since he took a sheep and three camels into the deep desert, Jin'an had walked all the way and never thought of riding a camel.
Fortunately, he has strong physical strength and quick feet.
The speed of traveling in the desert is no slower than that of camels, which are known as desert boats.
Jin An led the lead and said, "When I came out of my body last night to clear out those human-faced phoenixes, I was lucky enough to discover the ancient river ruins."
Little Sahafu asked curiously: "Master Jin'an, what is the soul leaving the body?"
Jin An answered: "Today's practice is divided into three realms. The first realm is Qi training, which Sakyamuni calls quiet meditation."
"The second level of realm is when Taoism cultivates the soul, and Sakyamuni cultivates the Dharma. As long as you can perform the night tour of the soul without the help of any external objects, you have entered the second level. Remember, if there is no assistance from external objects,
Forcibly cultivating the soul to leave the body before reaching the realm. The soul is so fragile that it can be burned by a candle in the world, and can be easily swept hundreds of miles away by a breeze outside the window. If the soul cannot return to the body within a limited time, it will become a physical body.
Necrosis, and finally becoming a lonely ghost."
"The third level is the day-traveling object. Sakyamuni is called the Dharma-conquering object. People who have reached this level are extremely capable. Not only can their souls leave the body during the day, but their souls can also pick up objects from the world and fight with swords. They are powerful people.
He can even take someone's head ten miles away on a clear day in broad daylight."
Along the way, Jin An continued to teach the three people various sutras and practice experiences in the "Secret Sutra of the Five Internal Organs".
The bizarre and bizarre world described by Jin An attracted the three people's attention, and they wished they could reach the third realm right away.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, what state are you in now?"
"Currently still in the second realm."
"Taoist Jin'an, you are so powerful in the second realm. We met so many demons along the way, and in the end they were all exorcised and killed by Taoist Jin'an. Taoist Jin'an, you must be the number one master in the second realm!"
…
"Taoist Master Jin'an, you only talked about the first three realms. What is the realm after you travel to Yuwu?"
"I don't know either."
"Is there anything in this world that the omniscient Taoist Jin'an doesn't know?"
"There are powerful hands behind the scenes who have put shackles on the world, and established the overall Feng Shui situation of the Four Symbols of Ending Heaven and Earth, imprisoning the beauty of heaven and earth, turning the sea into dust, artificially advancing the Age of Ending Dharma, and not knowing whether the mountain gods live or die in the mist. Only then will humanity have a chance to prosper.
, multiplied and multiplied to create today's prosperous age of humanity. The Four Symbols of the End of Heaven and Earth were beneficial and innovative. They artificially promoted the period of spiritual energy exhaustion and the end of law, and put shackles on the world. It not only imprisoned the most terrifying mountain gods, but also imprisoned the realm of humane masters.
Limits. Whether they are Buddhas or Taoists, people in later generations can only cultivate to the third realm of cultivation. The third is the limit, the third is infinite possibilities, and the third is the limit that cannot be broken through..."
These words were all words Master Shanneng once said to him, and now he just repeated them again.
The three of them seemed to understand. Only the younger Sahafu was more receptive to new things. He asked confusedly: "Then is the Four Symbols of Endless Heaven and Earth a good thing or a bad thing?"
"What is a mountain god?"
…
…
The sun rises higher and higher in the sky, so hot that the air is distorted and even the backs of people are distorted.
The deeper you go into the basin, the hotter it gets.
Only drought-tolerant desert camels can barely survive here, but if the temperature continues to rise so extreme, even camels may not be able to stand it.
However, this temperature is still within the acceptable range for San Luotuo, who practices the "Five Zang Secret Sutra", circulates the five elements in the body all the time, and gives birth to new life all the time.
Jin An and the others walked for a long time on the hot desert. After walking for a while after leaving Guchi Country, the sharp-eyed Jin An finally discovered an exposed river bed.
He looked delighted.
Run over quickly.
This exposed river bed is very narrow and shallow. People may inadvertently mistake it for an ordinary sand ditch and miss the only important clue to find Wuershi.
If Jin'an hadn't determined in advance that he would definitely find the ruins of an ancient dried-up river along this route, it would be easy to miss this small detail due to visual fatigue on this vast expanse of yellow sand.
"The team will stop for a moment."
In order to verify whether this shallow ditch was an ancient river channel, Jin An stopped his team and began to dig sand pits. A wider and wider river impacted the depression before his eyes.
"Sure enough, this is the huge river that once brought an oasis to the desert basin and bustling merchant ships!" Jin An reported the good news to everyone, and the team's morale was greatly boosted, and they accelerated their pace along this shallow ditch.
As we go deeper into the basin, this shallow river gradually becomes wider. Although it is still very shallow, it can be clearly seen that this once glorious ancient river is very wide and has nurtured brilliant civilizations on both sides.
However, they still could not measure how wide the ancient river was, because most of it was buried by yellow sand all year round, and both sides were covered with sand piles and high sand dunes.
If another few hundred years pass, the shallow ditch under their feet will be completely buried under the yellow sand.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, the sand here is flowing and is slowly swallowing up this ancient river." Old Sadiq said in a heavy voice.
Jin An nodded: "It should be the holy mountain of Guchi that has withstood most of the wind and sand. Haven't you noticed that since we left Guchi and got farther and farther away from Guchi, the terrain along the way began to change.
Changes have occurred, and the sand dunes are becoming less and less visible, and they are gradually turning into barren Gobi."
"The Holy Mountain of Guchi Kingdom is a small branch of the Kunlun Mountains. It was once used to block the invasion of wind and sand. In addition, there used to be ancient rivers in the desert basin. This basin has mountains, water sources, and oasis. It is like the depth of the desert and the
A treasure secluded from the world...I now somewhat understand why legends in the desert always regard the Kingdom of the Undead as the source of all underground rivers..."
Speaking of this, Jin An looked at Old Sadiq: "You are right, the desert is gradually crossing the mountains, slowly encroaching deeper into the desert, the desert has been expanding..."
Discovering the ancient river channel is one step closer to the Kingdom of the Immortal God. The morale of the team is high, and the atmosphere is relaxed along the way. It seems that even the temperature of the scorching sun above our heads has dropped a lot. They say that people feel refreshed when happy events happen, but Jin'an and the others are still
After three or four days of being out of spirits, I ran into big trouble.
Old Sadiq, who had followed a caravan when he was young and was most familiar with the desert experience, suddenly sniffed his nose, and immediately his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "I smell the smell of wind signals, and there is going to be a strong wind deep in the desert! Yes.
Very, very strong wind!”
The weather in the desert is extreme.
Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and clear, and the next moment, the sky suddenly changed.
Especially now is the winter when the situation is the most unpredictable and sudden, with all kinds of extreme weather emerging one after another.
The fact that Old Sadiq can specifically intensify very, very strong winds indicates that the scale of this storm will not be small.
Old Sadiq looked at Jin An anxiously: "Master Jin An, this storm will be very big. What should we do? Should we return to Guchi country now to avoid the limelight?"
Jin An solemnly confirmed again and again: "Old Sadiq, are you sure this storm will be big?"
Old Sadiq said with certainty: "Since I put on a camel skin and turned into a camel, I also inherited the camel's keen perception of the desert. I can smell it in the air. There will be a big storm soon."
Coming!"
Jin An pondered: "We are too far away from Guchi Country. It may be too late to return to Guchi Country now. We will definitely not be able to outrun the speed of the storm!"
"This is the river bed after the ancient river channel dried up. We can only bite the bullet and keep walking forward. We pray that the ancient river channel bed will go deeper and deeper so that we can find a place to shelter from the wind!"
In fact, he still hasn't said anything. There are many unknown dangers waiting for them on the road ahead. If they want to continue to go deep into the desert, they can only move forward and not retreat. Otherwise, they will think of retreating when they encounter danger, and they will never find it.
The Kingdom of the Immortal God.
Jin An pondered for a short time. Once he made his decision, the sheep and camels started running wildly in the desert, carrying a large amount of supplies on their backs.
Yellow sand rises to the sky.
A thick yellow curtain wall swept in with continuous rumblings. The edges of the thick yellow wall could not be seen at both ends, rolling and crushing all the way.
Although Jin An was mentally prepared, he didn't expect this big storm to come so quickly.
The wind speed is too fast.
The sharp whistling sound in my ears became louder and louder, like swords plowing the ground, and the continuous wall of sand and dust behind me got closer and closer.
By this time, it was difficult for the camels to walk in the strong wind. Even though they were carrying a lot of goods and their bodies were very heavy, they still could not withstand the power of nature. The three camels were staggered by the strong wind, and they could not even stand let alone walk.
stable.
Woo woo
Woo woo woo
