Jin An was the first to chase the silly sheep away.
But he was the last to arrive.
Watching other people's camels pass him one by one, he can only fall behind others and eat ashes.
To put it nicely, it means that it has no desires and needs, but to be honest, this silly sheep is used to being lazy and eating well, and it is too good at working as a foreigner.
Jin An was so angry that he punched Silly Sheep several times with his hammer.
As a result, the silly sheep was annoyed and refused to leave. It only had those squinting eyes unique to sheep, squinting at the man riding on its back.
It seems to be resisting the tyranny of Jin'an.
Jin An was eating other people's dust, and when he finally caught up with everyone in disgrace, he saw that everyone had got off their camels and were watching something. He also jumped off the sheep's back and curiously stepped forward to check.
It turned out that there was a big rift valley blocking the way forward, and everyone stopped at the edge of a cliff. The cliff was so deep that even the sun couldn't shine into the rift valley.
This is a majestic and magnificent Great Rift Valley, but the most magnificent and magical thing is that the Great Rift Valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, covered with many ancient vines and plants, and the cliffs on both sides are carved with huge stone statues of Buddha.
The smallest of the Buddhas are ten feet high, and the larger ones are thirty or forty feet high. A huge Buddha's head emerges from the Great Rift Valley in the direction of the rising sun. When the sun shines on the Buddha's head, the golden light is shining, and the atmosphere is solemn and sacred, just like
The true body of Buddha has come to the world, and people can't help but worship him.
This is what they saw visually while standing on top of the cliff. There are countless majestic Buddha statues standing deep in the invisible Great Rift Valley. They have survived thousands of years of wind and sun without falling.
They have come to a Buddhist country!
In addition to the huge stone statues of Buddha in the Great Rift Valley, there are also several majestic dragon-snake-like long corridors carved into the cliffs on both sides. I can't help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship here.
There are many human buildings standing between these corridors, and the buildings on both sides are connected by plank roads. Even those plank roads are carved with a large number of Sakyamuni patterns and scriptures.
It's just that after so many years of feng shui and sunshine, those plank roads have long been decayed. Either the wooden boards are in tatters, or the wooden boards have completely decayed and only bare iron chains are left.
The vast yellow sand not only gives this desert Buddhist country a layer of mysterious religious color, but also gives this desert Buddhist country a sense of history. A kind of artistic conception of heaven and earth, which is ancient and unchanging, stirs up and down in the chest.
But this Buddhist country is dead.
The Buddhist kingdom was quiet and empty, with no one in sight.
Only the stone statues of Buddha that have remained unchanged for thousands of years bear witness to the former glory of this place.
In fact, Jin An was not surprised that a large rift valley appeared here. He had long guessed that the basin in the desert was once an ocean or a huge lake in ancient times, and it was normal to have ravines.
Jin An finally understood why everyone was standing here, because they were all shocked by the majestic and ancient Buddhist kingdom in front of them.
"There are so many statues of gods and Buddhas here, and ancient vines and trees appeared in the desert. I even heard the sound of water flowing. Could it be that...this is the Kingdom of the Immortal God we have been looking for? That sound of water flowing is the source of all rivers in the desert.
Eternal River?" Someone muttered in a daze.
Another person also looked at the scene in front of him with the same shock: "Some people say that the pure land in the Buddhist pure land refers to gold. If you ask me, so many grasses and trees can grow in the dry and depleted desert. This is the pure land on earth, which can save people from suffering.
Reach the other side where there is no suffering or hunger.”
As the words of these two people fell, many people followed and agreed, thinking that this was the Pure Land of the Buddha, the Kingdom of the Immortal God they were looking for.
Jin An glanced coldly at these overly happy people.
Everyone understands that water flows downward.
The canyon topography here must first rule out the theory of the origin of river water.
The source of desert river water can be summarized in two main points. One is the melted snow water from the snow mountains, rushing down from the mountains; the other is the underground river. There is a legend spread in the desert. There is also an endless ocean under the endless desert.
, it is the melted snow from the snow-capped mountains that has flowed into the ground for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years. More and more, it gradually formed a boundless ocean. However, no one has been able to find the entrance to the underground ocean. It is another place used by the gods to protect desert animals.
Special world.
There is the sound of water in this canyon, and there should be a tributary of an underground river passing through it.
As for why there is so much vegetation here?
But don’t forget, there once was an oasis here, and a brilliant civilization was born here. The sunshine in the canyon is not strong, the evaporation of water vapor is not large, and there are tributaries of underground rivers passing through it. It makes sense that this place can become a small world of its own.
In Buddhism, a thousand small worlds cover one or two Zen heavens, forming a "Small Thousand Worlds"; a thousand small thousand worlds cover one or three Zen heavens, forming a "Middle Thousand Worlds"; a thousand medium thousand worlds cover one or four Zen heavens
Heaven is a "Great Thousand Worlds". The Great Thousand Worlds have three kinds of "Thousand Worlds": small, medium and large. Therefore, it is said that Buddha has three thousand worlds.
This place is a world of its own, which is in line with the Buddhist legend of a small world.
But Jin An later realized that he had guessed everything wrong. This Buddhist kingdom was not as simple as it appeared. This truth was not discovered until he later went to the Buddhist kingdom.
Those people who were discussing excitedly were all from Yan Kuan's side. Although Jin An had a suspicion in his mind, he didn't bother to waste his time explaining it. Master Yan and the mountain guard were not stupid people. They should have done it earlier.
That's it.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and overlooking the miracles of the Buddhist Kingdom, he marveled at how hard these ancient desert kingdoms were able to build such a vast Buddhist kingdom in the desert. Then he muttered in his heart that religious belief is indeed invincible. Jin An turned around and walked towards the camel next to him.
Team.
Those camels were not their camels, but were left behind by the man who jumped off the cliff before and disappeared.
Through some of the items carried on these camels, Jin Anle found out that these camels actually belonged to the people from the northern grasslands.
Seeing Jin An walking towards the camel team, Mr. Yiyun also turned around curiously and said, "I just listened to Yan Kuan's group's discussion. They are going to go to the Buddhist Kingdom in the canyon to replenish water and wild fruits. Why don't you go to the Buddhist Kingdom with them to replenish the water?"
, instead of coming here to dig through the things carried by these camels?"
Jin'an was delighted when he heard this: "These camels belong to those people from the northern grasslands. The terrain in the canyon is complicated. Who knows if there are ambushes or other hidden dangers. How can we rob them directly and quickly?"
While he was talking, he put the water bag on the camel's back like an ant moving, and put it on the back of Old Sadiq's three camels. When he couldn't put it down anymore, he put it on the back of Mr. Yiyun's camel team, tossing it back and forth.
Almost.
"Those northern grassland tribes harass our border gates in autumn and winter, burning, killing, and looting the people at the border gates every year. This is my way of collecting some interest in advance for their crimes."
"Don't be stunned. You and Qi Bo should also empty these water bags together. Call Ayimaimaiti and they will come to carry the water together. When Yan Kuan and others react, they won't be able to share it."
Well.
Young Master Yiyun watched Jin An keep carrying water bags like a little money man, and was also amused by Jin An's appearance. She smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that the water was poisoned in advance and put here deliberately?
?”
Jin An was still carrying water: "What are you afraid of? Mark these water bags and let the silly sheep test the poison before each drink. Anyway, it is as strong as a cow. A little poison will not knock it down, and it has been there before.
Test the poison, it has experience."
Goat: "What?"
The three old Sadiqs on the side felt cold sweat dripping from their foreheads when they heard this.
