The person who saw the Yadan landform for the first time.
Everyone will be amazed by its uncanny craftsmanship and its majesty.
This is the first time Jin An has seen the Yadan landform in this world, but strictly speaking, it is not the first time he has seen the Yadan landform.
He once knew about the Yadan landform. The Yadan landform is generally formed when lakes and rivers dry up to expose riverbed valleys, and then slowly form majestic landforms through millions of years of wind erosion and intermittent river erosion.
This is a low-lying basin.
There were river civilizations before.
Therefore, it makes sense that the Yadan landform appears deep in this basin.
After Jin'an was surprised at the beginning, he soon regained his composure. On the contrary, Master Yiyun and Qi Boru, as well as Grandma Liu, visited the Grand View Garden and kept looking left and right along the way.
"Taoist Master Jin'an has returned to normal so quickly. Isn't this your first time entering the desert?" Pasha, a tall and thin old man who was leading the way on a camel, looked at Jin'an who was falling behind him with a smile.
There is always something uneasy and kind-hearted about the weasel in those squinty smiling faces.
As the tall and thin old man asked Jin An, everyone looked at Jin An curiously.
In fact, everyone has been secretly observing Jin An riding a sheep along the way. This is really a new experience for him to ride a sheep into the desert.
However, as long as they thought that this person was Jin An, they took it for granted.
Only Jin An in this world can teach Gu Chi the tongue twisters of those plague birds, and can drive those plague birds crazy alive.
"It's not the first time." Jin An answered vaguely.
After hearing the answer, Pasha, a tall and thin old man, showed a true expression on his face: "It seems that Xikelti and I have guessed correctly. Taoist Jin'an saw that he knew the way well, and it didn't look like he was entering the desert for the first time.
people."
It's winter now, and the wind and sand are strong in the Gobi Desert. Jin An straightened out the sand-proof face towel that was blown a little by the sand, and smiled: "Then I really thank you."
Pasha: "?"
Xikelti: "?"
The two of them didn't worry too much about these small details. Everyone was already used to Jin An's various strange and weird brain circuits.
"I have always been curious. Others rode camels into the desert. Why did Taoist Jin'an choose to ride a sheep into the desert? It seems that this sheep has a good relationship with Taoist Jin'an, and he agreed to allow Taoist Jin'an to ride it in the hot desert.
I'm on my way here." Pasha kept marveling.
Jin An secretly hammered the silly sheep who wanted to protest, and said with a natural look on his face: "We Han people have a saying called 'Goat Kaitai', which is a lucky hexagram, and means that bringing goats into the desert will definitely bring you success."
Everything will go smoothly and all your wishes will come true."
After hearing this, several veterans of Laughing Corpse Village gritted their teeth and said, "I hope Goat Kaitai can make our wishes come true and let us see Old Man Jiufeng again soon. He burned our Laughing Corpse Village just to dig up our ancestral graves.
Sprinkle the ashes of our ancestors, this is a life-and-death feud!"
"Old man Jiufeng! We will peel off your skin and stretch your muscles, eat your flesh, drink your blood, and kill all your wives, children, children, servants, domestic servants, poultry and animals! Not a single one will be left! We will also let you taste the pain of family destruction!"
Old Sadiq, young Sahab and Ilham, who had been carrying supplies and were following the camel team without haste, subconsciously glanced at the backs of Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo.
Then he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head to eat hay seriously, as if he didn't hear anything, but couldn't help but prick up his ears and continue to eavesdrop.
Jin An smiled and looked at Pasha and the veterans of Laughing Corpse Village, and said with a pun: "That's right, killing them all, leaving no one alive, cutting the grass to the root, is a way of doing justice to God."
Veterans like Pasha did not hear the meaning of Jin An's words. They were grateful to look at Jin An. If he were not riding a camel now, he might have held Jin An's hands in his hands and been moved: "Taoist Jin An, you are a good man."
The three camels all looked pitifully at Pasha, whose ancestral grave had just been digged up by Jin An last night. Not only did these veterans of Laughing Corpse Village not regard Jin An as their enemies, but they also became grateful... This is a typical case of being sold as a camel.
Please help count the money, these people are really pitiful.
Hearing that the veterans regarded Jin An as their benefactor, even Mr. Yan couldn't help but look meaningfully at the direction of Jin An, Mr. Yiyun, and Qi Bo, the master who possessed Mr. Jiu Feng's body last night.
It must be one of these three people, but he hasn't confirmed who it is yet.
While thinking, he glanced at Jin An: "Why do I remember that it seems to be Sanyang Kaitai?"
He specially bites three times to show the difference from "mountain".
Jin An was sure: "It's the goat Kaitai."
"..."
This time, not only Yan Kuan looked at Jin An speechlessly, but also the mountain guard and the monk, who were depressed and hurried along the way, also looked at Jin An speechlessly.
No wonder even the human-faced birds of Guchi were driven crazy. As expected, it was Zhang who spoke human language when he saw people and ghosts when he saw ghosts. Such shameless words came from Jin An's mouth, and they were not surprised at all.
Ever since last night, they failed to catch the murderous corpse one after another, their self-confidence has been severely damaged, and another person lost his favorite weapon, the tantric stick, so the mountain guard and the monk were depressed and unhappy along the way.
Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo Xinqi looked at it for about half an hour before they calmed down from the majestic Yadan landform.
When we first left the Guchi Kingdom ruins, the ancient river channel was still narrow and almost disappeared. However, the deeper we went, the wider the ancient river channel became. Especially after entering the Yadan landform, the ancient river channel was so wide that the left and right edges could no longer be seen.
.
Because there is the holy mountain of Guchi to resist the external wind and sand from swallowing up the basin, and the Yadan landform here can also withstand the wind and sand. After entering the Yadan landform, the terrain changes greatly, turning into a desert Gobi terrain, with high sand dunes and fresh
See less of it.
Although there are wind troughs and ridges along the way to provide shade to block the sun, once you enter here, the temperature rises to another level. Not only do these shadows along the way not provide you with cooling, but they actually make it even more sultry, and the body fluids evaporate too much.
Not to mention people, even camels are beginning to be a little unbearable. Camels have to rest where they are after traveling for a while.
Once these camels tire out before the people, it will be disastrous for the team.
However, with the one sheep and three camels that Jin An brought into the desert, the whole journey was easy.
Silly Sheep, that’s because I have been taking various supplements since I followed Jin An, including longevity peaches, and my physique is extraordinary.
As for Old Sadiq and the others, since they followed Jin'an to practice the "Five Zang Secret Sutra", the five internal organs are regulated by the yin and yang and the five elements at all times, and new vitality is constantly being born in the body.
At this time, the camel team found a place on the back of the ridge to rest and cool down, and replenished the camels with water and hay. In this weather, even Jin'an, who is constantly adjusting the yin and yang and the five elements in the body, couldn't help but drink a few more sips of water, which shows that the atmosphere here is
The temperature is so high that there is no grass growing anywhere as far as the eye can see.
No matter what kind of tenacious desert plants come here, they are restricted areas for life.
While resting and drinking water, Jin An curiously asked Pasha and several veterans of the Laughing Corpse Village in Western Kelti: "Old sir, it's so hot in the depths of the desert. It's winter and even camels are too hot. How about other seasons?"
How did you survive in the desert when it was hotter, and how did you resist the strong sun above your head?"
This time it was Xikelti who answered: "Although the depths of the desert used to be very hot and dry, it was definitely not as hot as it is now. It was as hot as if there were two suns in the sky."
"The anomalies in this desert started more than half a year ago..."
When Xikelti saw that everyone was looking at him, he began to talk about the strange changes in the desert. Only Master Yan and his group were still drinking water and resting by themselves. They were the first ones to come, so they must have already heard about the news.
.
"It was almost February or March, deeper in the desert, like a fire suddenly burning, a huge flaming cloud covering the sky and flying towards the outside world, followed by an explosion.
The thunderous explosion I heard last night..."
It seemed that the scene at that time was so terrifying that Xikelti looked frightened. He took a few breaths before continuing.
"That day, the entire desert seemed to be on fire. Everything in the sky and on the ground seemed to be on fire. The strongest wind I had ever seen in my life whipped up waves of fire, and the fire storm burned the entire desert... Do you think Laughing Corpse Village is backed by
Is that big rock huge? In fact, it was bigger than it is now half a year ago.”
"If it hadn't been for that big rock that blocked the fire and storm for us, Laughing Corpse Village would have been burned into a torch during that disaster, and we wouldn't have survived."
Jin An was startled.
Now all the clues can be connected together.
The sand pirates he captured once mentioned that there was an earthquake in the desert more than half a year ago.
It was that earthquake that shook out several cracks in the sacred mountain of Guchi State, and a bunch of unclean things came out, such as the giant corpse cricket with a human face.
There is a detail here. Most of the year and half the year actually point to the same timeline, which is around the end of February and the beginning of March.
It is now January. He came to Xizhou Prefecture and entered the desert in September. In September, Sun Tugen said that the drought had lasted for half a year.
The news about giant corpse crickets with human faces actually refers to the period of late February and early March.
And now it is January. The half year ago that Sikelti mentioned also refers to the period of late February and early March.
That's why Jin An came to the conclusion that all the clues can be connected in series.
Before Xikelti finished speaking, Pasha on the side had already intervened. Pasha said mysteriously: "There is an ancient legend that there were once two suns in the world. The climate became extremely hot. At the moment of life and death,
, the ancient ancestors who struggled to survive tried their best to seal one of the black suns in the deepest part of the desert."
