Mr. Yiyun did not explain, but left the back of his head to carry water, leaving Jin An alone to fumble around.
Yan Kuan and his men were surprised to see Jin An and his men carrying water back and forth.
That’s when they reacted.
I also plan to come here to carry water.
As a result, when they came over, there were not many water bags left on the camels' backs.
In the end, people like Yan Kuan could only stare blankly, and finally left a "just wait and see" look in their eyes. They had no choice but to go to the Great Rift Valley Buddhist Kingdom to find water sources to replenish water.
The last time they replenished water was at the Wu'er Desert's Er Tiankeng more than ten days ago. No one was sure whether they would encounter new water replenishing points on the way down the road, so if they wanted to continue going deep into the desert to look for
In the Kingdom of Death, they must do everything possible to ensure that the team has enough water.
Subsequently, Jin'an, Yiyun Gongzi, Qibo, Ayimaimaiti and other people who had filled up the water went up together.
He and Yan Kuan parted ways.
In the desert at noon, the sun is so hot that people are smoking. When people walk here, even if they wear windproof robes, they can't resist the scorching sun above their heads. The boundless sea of sand spreads on this barren land, and there is dry yellow sand everywhere.
There is no greenery or plants in sight, which gradually drains people's energy.
“It’s been a while since we left the Great Rift Valley. Do you think Yan Kuan’s people have collided with those in the northern grasslands and started killing each other?”
Young Master Yiyun followed the ups and downs of the camel's back, and her body bumped along with it. She took the reins in her hand and came to Jin An, who was riding the sheep, and spoke.
“I don’t care if they kill each other, I’m just curious. Are you not worried at all that they will join forces to deal with us first after they meet?”
Mr. Yiyun’s worries are also justified.
Jin An killed several of Yan Kuan's masters.
Now the clear water of those prairie people has been evacuated.
Both parties now have a common enemy.
It is really possible that they will form an alliance to hunt down Jin'an.
Even though the Five Zang Immortal Temple can adjust yin and yang in Jin'an, when he went deep into the desert, he was still sweating on his forehead due to the sun above his head. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his hands in front of his forehead and looked up at the dizzy and dazzling sun.
Then he lowered his head and looked at Mr. Yiyun.
The whole team was sweating profusely due to the harsh sun, and the others were so sunburned that they lay motionless on the backs of camels, their spirits were listless, and they tried to save their energy as much as possible. Even Jin An had sweat on his forehead, but Mr. Yiyun was the only one who had no trace of sweat.
There was no sign of being sweaty at all.
Facing Mr. Yiyun's question, Jin An replied: "What Mr. Yiyun said is reasonable, but there is one thing that Mr. Yiyun failed to consider, and that is the benefits."
“Only common interests can bring two parties together.”
“But the biggest crisis before them is that everyone is short of water. So what if there is groundwater in the Grand Canyon? We have even emptied the water bags. It’s impossible for those prairie people to drink a lot of water and drive in the desert, right?”
"No matter how much those people hate us, they still need to have enough water bags and water to hunt us down in the desert over long distances... Then here comes the problem. Water is more precious than gold in the desert. Mr. Yiyun, what do you think of Yan Kuan?
Will people share willingly?”
“There is a saying that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall.”
“There is also a saying that people who are not of my race must have different hearts.”
"Yan Kuan must be like us, always suspicious and wary of those grassland people. After all, no one can say for sure. Is there only one copy of the immortal medicine in the Kingdom of the Immortal God? Even if there are two copies, wouldn't they have the selfish intention to keep one?
Give it to yourself. Anyone who is afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death will long for immortality."
Jin An turned his head and looked into the depths of the desert: "I left Yan Kuan and those people for another purpose, and that is to prevent those grassland people from being driven to death and desperately chasing us for water."
“Those who leave us suspicious of each other can delay us for a lot of time.”
After listening to Jin An's words, Mr. Yiyun looked Jin An up and down again, as if he had just met Jin An on the first day.
Looking at Jin An, he felt a little uncomfortable: "What?"
Mr. Yiyun is wearing a windproof face mask, so the expression on her face cannot be seen, but through the corners of her eyes, she seems to be looking at Jin An with a smile: "Looking at the back of Taoist Jin An reminds me of something."
“What is it?”
“The little fox wearing a five-color Taoist robe.”
Jin An’s face turned dark.
He felt that Master Yiyun had scolded him for the second time today.
He originally wanted to resist, but then he thought that he still owed the other party six fish skins. He couldn't make Mr. Yiyun anxious, otherwise he would go to the desert to pick off six fish skins to repay his debt.
“Ah, this vast desert is like a calm sea. Mr. Yiyun, can you see where the Kingdom of the Immortal God is?” Jin An said seriously.
«
In fact, Jin An was not wrong. They had walked out of the Yadan landform, and a new terrain appeared in front of them. It was a flat, unobstructed desert.
Suddenly, the silly sheep let out a wail, and its head jerked up in pain. The horns, which were coiled like thick ox horns, were suddenly burned red, as if they had been burned by a red-hot iron, emitting a strong burning smell.
There was a piece of fur on his forehead that was burned, revealing the burned flesh and blood under the fur.
Had this stupid sheep not stopped in time, it would not only have been burned on its horns and bits of fur, but it would have turned into a roasted whole sheep.
But the camel that Mr. Yiyun sat on was not so good and stopped in time. Half of its body was burned, and then it was set on fire and turned into a torch. The more the camel struggled in pain, the faster it burned. Mr. Yiyun wanted to rush up to save the camel, but chi
There was a burning stench, and even her own skin was burned. She retreated in panic, and had to watch her camel being burned to death.
Jin An looked solemn.
“There’s something wrong with the sunlight in this desert!”
“Are you okay?”
He jumped off the sheep's back, checked the silly sheep, and then asked about Master Yiyun's injury. At this time, even Qi Bo jumped off the camel and ran hurriedly to care about Master Yiyun's injury.
“It’s okay, Qi Bo, don’t be nervous, it’s just a normal burn and the wound will heal on its own soon.” Mr. Yiyun shook his head and said that he was fine, and then he and Jin An studied the desert in front of them.
Jin An pondered for a moment, found a piece of dried meat from the luggage on the camel's back, then picked up the dried meat with the scabbard of Kunwu knife, and cautiously approached the place where the silly sheep had been burned by the sun.
Zizziz!
The dried meat was quickly scorched, shrunk, and finally caught fire. If Jin An hadn't drawn the knife quickly, Kunwu's knife would have caught fire.
At this time, even Mr. Yiyun, Ayimaimaiti and others tried the same method one by one. The final result was that the barbecue was quickly scorched and burned.
Jin An looked up at the sky. At this time, he couldn't look directly at the sun. When he looked up, there was only a vast expanse of white. If he forced himself to look at it, his eyes would feel intense discomfort and burning. If he continued to force himself to hold on, his eyes would probably burn out.
.
Jin An told what he had discovered, and then looked around and said solemnly: "It seems that we are very close to the Kingdom of the Immortal God."
“Do you still remember the legend of the desert guardian clan?”
"There is a ghost mother buried in the Kingdom of the Immortal God. There is a black sun sealed in the wound in the ghost mother's heart. In this world, only the human heart and the sun cannot look directly at each other. We are very close to the Kingdom of the Immortal God. We follow this path
If you keep walking along this ancient river, you will surely find the Kingdom of the Immortal God that no one has been able to find for thousands of years!"
“But the sunshine here is so hot that it can kill people. There is a wall of light that we can’t see blocking us from moving forward! Ahead is a dangerous forbidden area filled with sun essence fire and Samadhi real fire!”
"If we go on by force, we will definitely be burned alive in the forbidden area! The camel that was burned to death is an example!"
Next, a few people began to test whether there was an end to the forbidden land of purgatory and whether there was any possibility of taking a detour. Naturally, their efforts were in vain.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, Mr. Yiyun, come quickly, Benny has made a new discovery over there!" Suddenly, Ayimaimaiti drove the camels and led the people in a hurry in one direction.
When everyone arrived at the location, Ayimaimaiti called to Benny: "Benny, tell Taoist Jin'an and Mr. Yiyun what you found quickly."
Benny did not hesitate, he pointed in one direction and said what he found: "Look here, here, and there, there are several humanoid traces and camel traces on the desert. Does it look like people and camels were burned?"
Leftover?"
Looking in the direction of the finger, there were indeed black marks on the desert after several corpses were burned to ashes. Seeing that the black marks were basically complete and not completely messed up by the wind and sand, it can be deduced that the time of burning was still very recent.
Absolutely no more than three or four days.
“Could it be those people who came from the northern grasslands who walked in front of us, and like us, they accidentally broke into this hell unprepared at the beginning?” Aheqi guessed a little nervously.
Hush.
She took a breath of surprise.
“Even camel bones that are thicker than humans can be burned into ashes. How terrifying is the temperature of the sunlight inside!” Ayimaimaiti said in shock.
At this time, Jin An frowned and thought, but did not join the discussion.
“Perhaps we can wait until night and try again. It always gets dark in the desert. When the sun sets at night, we may be able to go into the desert.”
