Chapter 562 The Longxu River Road 【Happy New Year】
Chapter 562 Dragon Beard River [Happy New Year]
PS: Month after month is similar, but year after year is different. When I look into the mirror in the morning, my appearance is like that of an old man. It is rare to have leisure time in the world, and everything is in the air. How much life can be achieved, don't regret being drunk by the spring breeze.
…
Hou Zi and his party arrived at a place called Longxugou a month later.
The reason why Longxugou is called an ancient river can even be traced back thousands of years. Once upon a time, this was a place with abundant water and grass. There was a large river, the Longxu River. There were flocks of cattle and sheep in the entire Hetao area, nourishing countless herdsmen.
Then, after the inspiration of Splendid World began to awaken, the place gradually became deserted. The wind and sand moved southward, and the undead were rampant, driving the original natives here all the way south. There is no sign of stopping until now.
The Longxu River has long since disappeared, leaving only the Longxu ditch. In fact, it is not appropriate to call it a ditch now, because due to thousands of years of changes, the sand dunes are endless and the wind and sand are sweeping. Where can you still see the traces of the river thousands of years ago?
Only by getting up in the air, looking down from a bird's eye view, and using the spiritual judgment of the monks, can we vaguely find that there is a curved line here with a slightly lower terrain, which is the Longxugou, and it is still intermittently and vaguely visible.
"This is Longxugou, right? If it hadn't been clearly marked on the map and someone happened to pass by here, who would have thought that there was a river here thousands of years ago?" Nan Xiangye complained.
Huang Xianzi looked at it with peach blossom eyes, "I don't see anything special? Why does it say that this is a place where undead creatures are prevalent? And we are still asked to search for it?"
Before this mission, Yu Zhengxing specifically told them that they should conduct a careful exploration of the Longxugou line, and then cross the Longxugou and go west for a few hundred miles, which would be the end point of their inspection, and they could return.
Viewed from the air, this old river meanders across the three hundred miles they are responsible for, and then stretches into the distance, not only across the boundaries of Gu Loulan, but also across the borders of other Taoist forces responsible for protecting.
Judging from the historical map of the territory, the Longxu River was more than ten thousand miles long at its peak, and it was considered to be one of the largest water systems even in the huge Splendid Continent.
If this old river channel really hides something, or becomes a relay station for the undead to move south, then obviously their efforts in this section alone are meaningless.
No matter what, the task is the task, and it needs to be carried out resolutely. If you are being fooled here, it is better not to come at all.
Hou Tzu pointed at the map and said to everyone: "Let's walk from west to east, along the river, and try to clear this section thoroughly within three days. The ape-man and I will walk on the ground, so that we can feel it better."
Clear, the fairy and the pumpkin are following and responsible for the response..."
The three of them nodded in agreement. This was also the tacit understanding they had slowly formed along the way. It was the most suitable way to cooperate, because among the four of them, they were the two with the strongest melee abilities and were immune to close attacks by undead creatures.
The plan has been decided, Huang Xianzi and Nan Xiangye are still floating in the air, but Hou Zi and Yuan Shangyuan have fallen on the ground. This old river is not narrow. It was also a huge water system at the beginning, with a width of more than ten miles. After thousands of years of changes, the topography of the river has changed.
It was changed beyond recognition by nature, which also caused a lot of trouble for the two men's investigation.
The two of them were several miles apart and walking in parallel. Because they were walking on sand dunes, they sometimes couldn't look at each other. They could only communicate with their two companions flying in the sky, which was a little inconvenient.
Yuan Shangyuan's Dharma can be drilled under the soil and has a wide range of perception; Hou Zi has a profound understanding of the soil path, so when walking on the sand dunes, within a few miles around and a few feet deep under the sand, they are all them
sensing area.
Nan Xiangye was in the sky, still unable to stop talking, "Longxugou, the old river channel, must be water-oriented under the sand layer. Are undead creatures very close to water?"
Huang Fairy covered her mouth and smiled, "You can't think that just because they like to burrow under the sand, you think they must be earth-oriented... Water is the source of life, and everything is like this. I have a feeling that although the bones of undead creatures are
It is difficult to find traces of the water element on the surface, but I infer that they must have a deep connection with the water element, but in what way, this is not something I can understand now."
"I'm curious what will happen if you throw them into the water? Will they become sea creatures?"
How did undead creatures appear? How were they formed? There is still no conclusion in the world of human cultivation; they are neither ordinary mortal beasts that have become spirits, nor are they ghosts in the form of complete souls. The source of their energy comes from the spiritual machine of the Splendid Earth.
, it seems that is not entirely the case?
This is a mystery that has troubled the world of human cultivation for thousands of years. It is also the fundamental reason why human monks dare not completely eliminate the undead creatures in the Paixu Desert.
Human beings don't care much about the things they are familiar with, because they know the source, such as mountain monsters, water monsters, and evil spirits... but they are full of awe for the unknown things they don't know. They are worried that if they easily start the attack on the undead creatures in the Patixu Desert,
Clearance will only cause greater trouble.
Of course, these issues are not something they can consider in their current state. After a few moments, Yuan Shangyuan’s consciousness spoke,
"There is an underground river! My Dharma image found strong water fluctuations five feet deep under the sand layer, which was intermittent..."
Hou Zi nodded, "That should be the case. I have also felt it. The reason why it is intermittent is because with the ups and downs of the sand dunes, you can't feel it at the top of the dune because of the accumulation of a large amount of floating sand, but at the bottom of the dune you can't feel it.
It is clear."
Yuan Shangyuan frowned, "The depth of my dharma burrow is limited. No matter how deep it is, I will easily lose control. It's a pity."
Hou Zi stopped his attempt, "It's not necessary. Let's walk along the river first and then make a long-term plan."
They left for three days, but to everyone's surprise, they found nothing, not even an undead creature, and no accidents occurred.
"Did you look in the wrong place? You shouldn't. How could we, the four living people, have misread the map?" Nan Xiangye was puzzled.
Huang Fairy patted her high chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Pumpkin, please don't talk nonsense. It's better for everyone to be safe than anything else."
Yuan Shangyuan's intention was still unfinished, "How about walking it again? Change the route and investigate deeper?"
Hou Zi, as the boss, made the final decision, "It doesn't make much sense to go through it again now. Under common sense, our inspection can be regarded as completing the task. If there is no abnormality, there is no abnormality. You cannot doubt your own judgment just because there may be something deeper.
That is beyond our capabilities."
After looking at everyone, he said, "We continue to go west. There are about three hundred miles before the end of this parade. When we turn back, we will have plenty of time. Let's clear it out here again."
Several people nodded in agreement. It would be much easier to clean up this area on the way back, because they had already plowed this area, so they didn't have to worry too much about the sudden appearance of a large number of undead creatures.
As a bird leader, he is still very cautious when it comes to actual actions.
