We are now very close to our destination. The temple is a restricted area with a radius of 500 miles. You cannot enter the restricted area, otherwise you will die miserably. Now we are less than 800 miles away from the temple and 800 miles away from the earth where Gu Jianchi requested to arrive in advance.
The city should be less than three hundred miles away. A quick march and an hour's flight would almost reach it.
Unfortunately, there is no obvious reference point in the desert. It is not easy to find the earthen city within a radius of hundreds of miles. You must first find the ancient channel of the Kongque River.
It was getting dark, and the weather tonight was not very good. Neither the moon nor the stars could be seen in the sky. It was gray all around, and nothing could be seen clearly. So Zhao Wuji ordered the camp to be set up. Ye Xiaochuan and others were responsible for the perimeter security, and the troops were directly under the mountain.
Go find the water veins of Kongque River.
This place should have reached the bottom of Jinsha Valley. Only the water veins of Kongque River can be used as reference materials to figure out where our group of people are now.
During the day, this place is so hot that you can eat it just by sprinkling some cumin and chili pepper, but at night it is extremely cold. No wonder people say that the bottom of the Jinsha Valley is a place abandoned by the gods. This is not true at all.
Ye Xiaochuan couldn't understand. Thousands of miles to the west from the bottom of the Jinsha Valley is the West Sea, and to the south is the dead lake with lush aquatic plants. What a good geographical environment, how could it create such a dead place where even a drop of water can't be found?
?
Only cultivators can traverse the Jinsha Valley with a radius of thousands of miles. Ordinary people walking in it with camels will be trapped alive in this place even if they bring enough dry food and fresh water.
This damn wild land of the Western Region, this damn Jinsha Valley, this damn life.
"Damn Shanxia Zhizhu, why haven't you come back yet? You just found a water vein, why did you put so much effort into it?"
Ye Xiaochuan began to criticize Yamashita Zhizhi again in his heart.
It was already cold here at night, and the wind gradually started to pick up. The wind came a little late. It would be great if there was such a refreshing wind in broad daylight. But now that the temperature is so cold, the wind is like a sharp knife digging into people's clothes.
.
Ye Xiaochuan didn't care. He was practicing the Sword Intention of the Wind and comprehending the secret of wind. However, Yang Shijiu, Ouyang Caiyu and others were different. They had already begun to take out the bloated feather cloaks from the Qiankun Bag.
As soon as night comes, everyone will take out their clothes to keep out the cold. This is a living experience.
Ye Xiaochuan thought it was nothing at first, but gradually, the wind around him gradually became stronger. Ye Xiaochuan was very sensitive to the wind. He slowly stood up, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the wind everywhere around him.
.
When he felt that the wind was getting more and more uncomfortable, he was slapped on the back of the head. Without looking back, he knew that no one in the entire forward battalion dared to slap him on the back of the head without restraint, except Bai Liyuan, the deputy captain.
Sure enough, Baili Yuan's voice rang out and said: "You brat, I asked you to pay attention to the movements around you on the sand dunes. What are you doing with your arms here? Do you want to embrace the sky?"
Ye Xiaochuan ignored her and said, "Baili, there's something wrong with the wind tonight."
Baili Yuan said: "I bet you didn't believe what I said this morning. I told you that whether it's the East China Sea or the desert of the Western Regions, if the morning glow is as red as human blood, there will definitely be a big storm. As the saying goes, if you don't go out in the morning glow, you can't go out in the sunset.
Thousands of miles, that’s what it means.”
Ye Xiaochuan curled his lips and said: "You said in the morning that there would be a big storm, but now it's evening, and your weather forecast is not accurate. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. I can feel that there is a powerful force to the southeast of us.
The storm is moving towards us quickly. This sand dune cannot stop such a powerful storm, so we should find a place to take shelter from the wind."
Baili Yuan also meant the same thing. After the strong wind started just now, Baili Yuan knew that the storm was coming. He happened to go out to explore the water veins of Kongque River and Shanxia Zhizhu also came back. He couldn't find the water veins. It was about twenty miles to the north.
An abandoned stone house was discovered, and Bailiyuan came to the periphery to ask Ye Xiaochuan to move his position.
When I met everyone, I found that Yamashita Zhizhu's nose and forehead were all red, as if someone had photographed him with a brick.
Ye Xiaochuan was surprised and said: "Brother Yamashita, what's wrong with your head?"
Yamashita said awkwardly: "No, it's nothing."
When Ye Xiaochuan and others arrived at the stone house twenty miles away to the north, Ye Xiaochuan first discovered blood on one side of the stone wall, which seemed to have been freshly left.
Ye Xiaochuan was happy now. It seemed that Shanxia Zhishu had gone crazy playing in the desert these days. He thought that he could travel underground in the desert without any hindrance. It would be much more fun to perform earth escape than on plain land. At least he wouldn't be in the desert.
Hitting tree roots, rocks, etc. under the sand.
One look at this dilapidated stone house. Most of the stone house was buried by the yellow sand, and a small section of the roof was exposed. You don't need to guess. When Zhizhu was walking under the sand, his forehead hit the stone under the sand.
On the wall, as a result, I failed to practice Iron Tou Gong and my nose was bleeding. The blood stains are still fresh now.
Seeing Ye Xiaochuan gloating and giggling, Yang Jiujiu and Ouyang Caiyu were very curious, so Ye Xiaochuan whispered his analysis, which made the two women burst into laughter.
Yang Jiu said: "Shanxia, the injury on your head was caused by hitting the stone wall when you used the Earth Escape Technique?"
Yamashita Zhizhu was very embarrassed. People in small places all care about face. This is the instinct of human nature. For example, poor people love money, ugly women love beauty. People often care about what they don’t have. In the eyes of the Chinese people, Fusang is a place outside the Great Wall.
Xiaodao. In the eyes of cultivators, the Five Elements Sect is not even as good as a small sect in Middle-earth. Yamashita Naoshu also understands this, so he has always tried his best to show that he is no different from the cultivators in Middle-earth.
In the past few days, he had discovered many disciples of the Demon Cult, and it was actually all his fault, which made him very proud.
As a result, someone discovered that he had broken his head with an escape technique. This embarrassing thing made him feel a little ashamed.
After all, Baili Yuan, who was still of the same lineage as the East China Sea, couldn't stand it anymore. When she saw Ye Xiaochuan and others making fun of Yamashita Zhishu, she immediately showed her majesty as a deputy captain and kicked Ye Xiaochuan and others into the stone house.
Take shelter from the storm.
Almost half of the entire stone house was buried in the west side of the yellow sand, leaving only three walls. As for the west wall, it was now completely buried by the yellow sand. Ye Xiaochuan looked at the people hiding in the corners, and he couldn't help but wonder.
I think these three walls can block the storm in the desert.
He now feels more and more clearly that a huge wind force, carrying the power of destroying the world, is moving rapidly towards this direction. In half an hour at most, this storm should arrive here.
