There were loud explosions in the distance, one after another.
“What’s going on over there? Are they blowing up mountains? They keep blowing up?”
“You actually made such a big noise!”
Before everyone could get far on their camels, the camels were so frightened that they sat cross-legged and waited to die. This time, no matter how hard they were driven, no matter how hard they were beaten with whips, the camels still refused to leave.
Jin An saw that Yan Kuan's men had been beating the camels, and the camels were beaten to pieces by these warriors. He couldn't stand it anymore: "This is the habit of camels. When they think they are in danger or are seriously frightened, they will sit cross-legged and wait.
Death, even if you beat them to death, they will not move forward one step. You must learn to treat camels well in the desert. If you really beat them to death, who will carry supplies for you into the desert?"
The character of the camel is somewhat like that of the ostrich.
Whenever something happens, he likes to bury his head in the sand.
Only the desert people can appreciate the deep affection for camels that these desert boats have saved many lost people in the desert. Seeing Jin'an taking the initiative to speak to the camels who can't speak human words, these desert people in Ayimaimaiti,
As well as the people from the Western Regions who acted as guides and translators in Yan Kuan's team, they all looked at Jin An gratefully.
I don’t know whether it was the first half of Jin An’s words or the second half. Worried that there would be no camels to carry supplies for them, Yan Kuan and his men stopped beating the camels.
After waiting for about half a day, the explosions in the desert stopped completely, and everyone continued on their way.
Even though the dust wave from the explosion was not far away, that was because the sky was used as a reference, so it looked close. Everyone rode camels and sheep and traveled through the desert mountains and forests with complex terrain for two days until almost evening the next day.
We finally arrived at the explosion site.
When they arrived at their destination, they were all shocked by the scene before them. They were really right. Yesterday's overwhelming explosion was really blowing up the mountain.
The Yadan landform in this area is somewhat peculiar. The mountains and forests are densely arranged. Once people proceed, it is easy to lose their way and be trapped in it. This is a naturally formed maze.
But at this time, the place was devastated by explosives, many mountains collapsed, and explosives were used to open a straight avenue.
While the camels were resting in a shady place and replenishing water and feed, Jin An came to a high ground and overlooked the maze of mountains and forests at his feet.
“This style of conduct is exactly the same as the one who used explosives to blow open the stone gate in Wuershi Temple.”
He said this to Mr. Yiyun who was following him.
"Do you suspect that it was the people from the northern grasslands who bombed it?" Mr. Yiyun stood side by side with Jin An, the sun above their heads was unbearably hot. Both of them covered every inch of their skin tightly. She followed Jin An's example and looked down at the quilt beneath her feet.
Exploding a path through the forest.
Jin An shrugged: "Isn't it obvious? Explosives are not something ordinary people can possess. Those veterans of Laughing Corpse Village who have been trapped in the desert for generations are even less likely to possess explosives. Therefore, it is impossible for someone to use explosives so generously.
There are only those northern grassland people who are looking for the elixir of immortality for the Great Khan."
"Our ancestors have the most thorough research on the Five Elements Bagua and Qimen Dunjia. How can those prairie barbarians know anything? Once they encounter them, they will either sit back and wait for death or push explosives all the way. I once asked an old Taoist priest for advice, 'If you don't understand
If a Qimen Dunjia person accidentally falls into a Feng Shui bureau or Qimen formation, how can he get out of trouble as quickly as possible?', and the answer of the old Taoist priest is very suitable for the scene we see in front of us. If you have explosives in your hand, just blow it up. If
It’s better to be well-fed and hungry than to have enough to eat and drink without explosives.”
Poof.
Mr. Yiyun was amused by Jin An's words: "Taoist Chen is still humorous."
“You mean, these mountains and forests in front of us come from the Qimen Dunjia Technique? Are they not naturally formed maze formations?”
Jin An raised his hand and pointed at the Yadan landform in front of him, his voice was calm and steady. Standing on the vast and endless loess land, where the sea turned into mulberry fields, he really had a heroic spirit of pointing out the country: "Don't you think these mountains and forests seem to be imitated from the same mold?
Did it come out? To give you the simplest example, have you ever seen mountains that look the same and are about the same height?"
At this time, the people from Ayimaimaiti also shamelessly followed. They were afraid of annoying Jin An, so they deliberately stood a little far away, but this did not prevent them from pricking up their ears and eavesdropping on Jin An and Mr. Yiyun.
dialogue.
The talkative Aheqi muttered to Ai Maimaiti: "Master Ai Yi, why do I feel that the mountains here are all different? There are tall ones, short ones, fat ones and thin ones. Why did Taoist Jin'an say
Are the mountains here the same length, thickness and width?”
Ayimaimaiti thought: "There is a saying among the Han people that mountains are not mountains, water is not water, and immortals are spirits. Didn't you hear Taoist Jin'an say that this is Qimen Dunjia? Taoist Jin'an is an outsider.
Master, even those mourning birds in the Guchi Kingdom can be driven crazy by Taoist Jin'an. Taoist Jin'an is a fairy among men, and he can definitely see things that us mortals can't see."
Other people from the Western Regions, including Abbas, the earless man who had just recovered from a serious illness and could walk on the ground, all looked at Ayimaimaiti with admiration.
“Master Ai is Master Ai. I have been familiar with Han Chinese books since I was a child. What is Qimen Dunjia, Master Ai?” Everyone continued to admire Ai Maimaiti.
"Well, A means soldier in the Han people, and escape means escape. Maybe Taoist Master Jin An means that there is a strange door in here that we can't see. Those veterans of Laughing Corpse Village who caused us such misery
, they all fled here and planned to escape through that strange door." Aiyi Maimai forced himself to make nonsense for the sake of face.
“Don’t worry, Abbas, we will definitely catch those veterans to avenge you, Abu and Basel!”
Master Yiyun, who was talking to Jin An at this time, quietly raised the corner of his mouth, obviously having heard Ayimaimaiti's face-saving nonsense.
Several black lines hung down Jin An's forehead: "The mountains here are not simple. They seem chaotic, but in fact there are strict rules to follow, because in the Bagua, six are Yao, three and three are inexhaustible, six and six are endless, and thirty-six changes are
It is infinitely variable. If you want to understand what Qimen Dunjia is, you must first understand what magic is."
Jin'an seems to be explaining to Mr. Yiyun, but in fact he is helping those people in Ayimaimaiti become illiterate.
“Look carefully at the mountains here, do you feel that every thirty-six mountains here are a cycle, such as this area, that area..."
Jin An pointed his finger at the mountain forest in front of him and drew strokes in the void, drawing areas. The forest in each area was different in size and height. It looked like a very ordinary ridge. He could use it as a reference and compare it carefully.
When comparing it with other surrounding ridges, we found that the forests in the two areas were highly overlapping.
If you don't discover the tricks in advance and compare carefully with reference objects, ordinary people may not be able to see the endless changes of the six lines here even if you tell them the doorway here.
"The six lines are the essence of the Eight Diagrams. Once you master the principle of three and three inexhaustible and six and six inexhaustible, you can arrange the endless changes here. Once people mistakenly enter this Qimen Dunjia bureau, they will be in these long-lasting changes."
I get lost in the same mountain forest, and I can't get out no matter how I walk. Because after walking out of the thirty-six ridges, there are still thirty-six ridges, thirty-six sets of thirty-six, giving rise to endless changes, because every mountain here
They all look different, and every mountain looks exactly the same, which can easily cause spatial confusion."
When he said this, Jin An took a serious look at the Qimen Dunjia Game in front of him: "Do you still remember those legends about the desert guardian clan and the ghost mother? Such a generous Qimen Dunjia Game style is not something that people from the Western Regions can arrange.
It should have been arranged by the ancient ancestors to prevent outsiders from finding the Kingdom of the Immortal God."
"It's a pity that man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Those ancient ancestors made so many calculations, but they did not take into account the vicissitudes of the Ling Valley. The earth has been turned upside down. The landform here has changed greatly. The ancient rivers, oases, insects, birds and beasts have all disappeared. In addition,
Years of erosion by wind and sand in the upper desert have made the huge Qimen Dunjia game here no longer complete. Even people who don't understand Qimen Dunjia can use explosives to blast a way. Speaking of this, we have to be lucky.
Those people from the northern grasslands took the initiative to help us clear the way ahead, which saved us a lot of time."
Mr. Yiyun looked at Jin An in surprise: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Jin'an Dao is proficient in Yin and Yang Feng Shui, Qimen Dunjia, and has extensive knowledge. The person who talked about you with admiration after three days apart is you, Taoist Master Jin'an."
Master Yiyun did not hesitate to praise and surprise Jin An.
Since his family knew his own affairs, Jin An blushed a little when he was praised: "I can't say I'm proficient. I just studied the "Yin Yang Qing Sang Sutra" and "Shen Feng Tong Kao" a little. I just happened to be lucky enough to know something today. With my superficial knowledge,
When you get in front of a real Feng Shui master, you are just trying to do whatever you want."
Young Master Yiyun smiled slightly, revealing two small dimples on her face. Her character was not the kind of person who liked to talk politely. She smiled and continued to look at the mountains and forests in front of her, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it's still...
There is a way to break the situation, find someone good at qinggong and rush from the sky."
Hearing this, Jin An shook his head: "People can fly over from the sky, but camels carrying water and supplies cannot, so in the end we have to go out by blasting the mountain."
He always felt that the Qimen Dunjia here could not be so simple. Since those ancient ancestors were able to lay out such a large and complex six-yao Qimen Dunjia, they could not have failed to consider the situation in the sky.
It’s a pity that nothing can withstand the vicissitudes of time. Maybe this place once was extraordinary, but now it’s just a mountain of dead things.
Actually, not only Jin'an, Mr. Yiyun, and Ayimaimaiti were on this high ground, but even Mr. Yan came up with a few people to observe the situation.
Of course they also heard the conversation between the two.
Mr. Yan’s eyes were contemplative and cold at the same time. He still hasn’t found out who possessed Mr. Jiufeng out of his body that night.
If Mr. Ning, the Feng Shui master, had not died in the hands of old man Jiu Feng, he would not have been so passive and shameless to eavesdrop on the conversation between two juniors.
This feeling of being passive is really unpleasant.
Seeing that the camel team was almost rested, the team continued on the road.
The collapsed ridges we saw along the way were very distinctive. Those northern grassland people probably didn't carry much explosives into the desert. They walked in a straight line, and they exploded as long as there were mountains in front of them. If there were no mountains, they wouldn't explode.
Possibly save dynamite.
These ridges are severely weathered and not as strong as expected, so they collapsed as soon as the explosives were exploded.
They spent a night in these loess mountains and forests and walked for another day before they completely walked out of this Six-Yao Qimen Dunjia Bureau.
Those northern grassland people may have gone to the back and the explosives were blown up, and there was a short section of the road where the mountains were not blown up.
When the camel team successfully walked out of this dense forest maze, some people couldn't help but sigh: "It took us a whole day to walk out. Those people must have been trapped here for several days before walking out. Maybe we will step up our pace now."
We'll catch up with them soon."
Jin An curled his lips.
showing mocking eyes.
“What?” Mr. Yiyun turned his head and looked at Jin An.
Jin An: "We were delayed for half a day outside Liuyao Qimen Dunjia Bureau and another day on the road. We are almost two days behind those northern grassland people. How can we catch up so easily unless we have another good luck?
, those people circled Baizu for two days.”
“And traveling in a hurry in the desert will consume more water. I’m afraid we will drink up all the water before we find the Kingdom of the Immortal God.”
Mr. Yiyun nodded slightly.
No matter how anxious others were to catch up, Jin An still walked leisurely in the desert. Occasionally when he got tired and thirsty, he would take his camels and sheep to find a shady place to rest, and save as much water as possible in the desert.
As for the people of Ayimaimaiti, who have lived in the desert since childhood, they naturally know better how to save water in the desert, so they also rest when Jin'an rests.
