Lin Xiaodong sat cross-legged on the ground and looked down at his hands.
Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo also looked and saw a vine growing out of Lin Xiaodong's hand and digging into the sand.
Lan Ruo was confused: "What?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled mysteriously: "We don't have to chase Populus euphratica, and we don't have to rely on the stars to guide us. Let's follow the water."
"The vines dig into the sand and you can detect the direction of the water flow. Although this desert is arid, there is water more than ten meters deep underground."
Lan Ruo and Bai Yuquan were overjoyed, looked at each other and said, "That's great, let's set off as soon as possible."
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand to Lan Ruo and Bai Yuquan: "Not only that, we also have water to drink, so we all stretched out our hands."
Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo extended their hands to Lin Xiaodong, but Lin Xiaodong grabbed their wrists. Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes and began to perform the exercises.
"Um?"
Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo felt a coolness spread from their wrists to their whole bodies, and the discomfort of burning and thirst was swept away. This feeling was very magical, as if they were drinking water from their wrists.
The vines on Lin Xiaodong's hands penetrated into the sand more than ten meters deep, drawing groundwater and then passing it on to Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo.
"Great, we are saved!"
Lan Ruo was happy.
Early the next morning, Long Yue, who was eager to escape, climbed up the sand dune early and saw that the Populus euphratica forest had moved due south. They were still two days away, but before they could reach it, at night, the Populus euphratica forest
If you have to change places, you will never get there.
"This is how to do ah?"
Long Yue scratched his head and ears.
Lin Xiaodong and the other two walked out of the tent and walked towards the sand dunes. The three of them had replenished their fluids at night and their condition improved a lot.
"Euphratica euphratica has changed its location again. Let's set off quickly. We can't wait any longer."
Long Yue was a little anxious.
Lin Xiaodong smiled mysteriously, turned to look at Lan Ruo and Bai Yuquan, and said, "I have found the way."
"oh?"
Long Yue's expression changed slightly and he asked quickly: "Have you figured out the treasure map?"
Lin Xiaodong looked sloppy and nodded: "Yes."
Long Yue was overjoyed after hearing this, and walked up and patted Lin Xiaodong's arm: "That's great, how do we leave?
Please give me some direction, let's get out of this hellish place quickly."
Lin Xiaodong pointed to the north and said: "The road is this way."
Long Yue looked at the Populus euphratica forest in the south and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure that the road Princess and the others took will lead to a dead end."
Long Yue blinked his eyes and clapped his hands with joy: "Then what are you waiting for! Let's set off quickly!"
Lin Xiaodong was not in a hurry. He looked back at Lan Ruo and Bai Yuquan and said, "The three of us only brought some mutton. We have already eaten it all, and there is not much water left."
Long Yue laughed: "I understand! Senior Bai saved our lives before, now it's our turn to repay, come on!"
Long Yue sent people to bring water and food to Lin Xiaodong and the others. The three of them finally had a full meal. Without asking, they knew that these supplies were probably stolen from the princess. Did Qingfeng see it before?
I didn’t care, but later I got injured and couldn’t care about it even if I wanted to.
Lin Xiaodong sneered: "The princess thought she had taken advantage and left in a hurry, but she didn't know that her supplies were almost stolen."
"Deserve it!"
Lan Ruo closed her eyes and cursed.
"The princess has gone to the west. The road is to the north. Now, you have to be careful of Long Yue and his gang."
Lin Xiaodong looked in the direction of Long Yue and his group.
Bai Yuquan looked back and said, "Get rid of them?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "The three of us have roads but no food, and they have food and no roads. It's better to stay with them for the time being."
With the direction in hand, the group set off under the bright sun and walked very quickly.
In the evening, everyone stopped to set up camp. Long Yue looked at the Populus euphratica forest in the south. After walking for a day, they were now three days away from the Populus euphratica forest.
"Brother Lin, are you sure this is the right way?
Why are you getting further and further away from the Populus euphratica forest?"
Long Yue asked.
Lin Xiaodong sat by the bonfire and said with certainty: "We are not walking further and further away, but we are walking in front of the Populus euphratica forest and waiting for the Populus euphratica forest to come up on its own."
"Oh..." Long Yue seemed to understand.
At the end of the day, Lin Xiaodong had figured out the direction of the groundwater in the desert, and finally understood why the Populus euphratica forest moved.
The Populus euphratica forest moves because the sand moves, and the Populus euphratica forest can continue to grow even when there is no water because the water moves together with the Populus euphratica forest.
Who would have thought that the Netherworld Desert has a dry climate, but there is an aquifer underneath the thick sand.
This aquifer is closely related to the water system of Tianzhan Mountain. Part of the river water under the cliff of Tianzhan Mountain flows into the desert and becomes an underground river.
There is a huge temperature difference between day and night in the desert. The climate is hot during the day, and the groundwater temperature rises, and the water level rises. At night, the temperature drops, and the water level drops. The expansion and contraction of the water is extremely powerful, causing the entire desert to move together, so the Populus euphratica forest will move.
The displacement of the dunes caused by changes in water levels should be very small, but the underground rivers in the desert are intricate and small deformations gradually accumulate, eventually causing the Populus euphratica forest to look like it is circling around people.
But Lin Xiaodong still has a more difficult question to figure out, that is, why are the constellations seen on the Sun Star exactly the same as those seen on the Blue Star?
At night, Lin Xiaodong did not sleep. He continued to meditate and practice outside the tent, looking up at the stars and thinking hard.
Since ancient times, stars have been given various meanings. There is astrology in the West, stargazing in Southeast Asia, and astrology in Han Dynasty. Ancient people believed that the sky full of stars is directly related to personal destiny, because people are like miniatures.
of the universe.
Speaking of people, it's also very strange. Why are there people living on Sunlight Star?
Instead of lizard people?
Gray man?
Could it be said that no matter on any planet, the end point of life evolution is human beings?
Thinking of this level, Lin Xiaodong suddenly trembled! "That's right! People living on Sunlight Star and Blue Star are all humans. This is not a coincidence, but because a life that embodies all the wisdom of the universe can only be
Such a person!"
"The stars seen on Blue Star and Sunlight Star are the same, because if the stars in the sky want to encompass all the laws of the universe, they can only look like this!"
"No matter which planet you are on, the stars in the sky represent the order of the universe, so no matter which angle you look at them, they are the same!"
"The body is the basis, and the tools are used. The universe uses stars as tools to evolve and create. I have the power of stars in my body. What should I use it for?"
Lin Xiaodong suddenly realized it. He sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up at the sky. The power of the stars surged in his body. He felt that countless stars were born, evolved, and died in his chest. Countless planets were born, evolved, and were swallowed up by stars.
