Although the desert is said to be a restricted area for life, in fact it is not. There is life in the desert!
Animals include camels, ostriches, sand lizards, rattlesnakes, scorpions, ants, and even wolves, etc. These animals all have the ability to retain moisture and resist high temperatures, as well as the morphological characteristics to adapt to desert life.
Among them, rattlesnakes, scorpions, etc. are the most deadly things. If you want to survive in the desert, you must have sufficient water. Secondly, you must not be bitten or stung by these animals. They all carry deadly poisons on their bodies.
of venom!
There are also many plants, such as holly, Hexi chrysanthemum, purple willow, sea buckthorn, long spike willow, scallion, white hemp, desert rose, apocynum, Populus euphratica, cactus and dozens of other species. These plants usually have relatively strong root systems.
It is highly developed and its leaves have degenerated into needle-like shapes. The most important thing is that its drought tolerance is unusual for ordinary plants.
Among them, the most famous natural ones are poplar trees and cacti.
There is no need to go into too much detail about cactus. Many people use cactus as a facial mask. Of course, many people also put cactus on their computer desks to absorb radiation.
As for the Populus euphratica tree, it is very famous. Throughout the dynasties, many poets have used beautiful poems to praise it. In modern times, there are also many songs praising Populus euphratica. People living in the oasis desert even worship the Populus euphratica tree.
For the patron saint of the desert!
Before entering the desert, Mr. Tang and the others put special tires on the three cars. These tires are much wider than normal tires, have more stripes on them, and have greater friction. They are specially designed for deserts.
Walking wheels!
Throwing the removed wheel directly onto the pickup truck behind, Mr. Tang was in the front passenger seat, Ahu was driving, and two pickup trucks followed closely behind, one was driven by Huhe, and the other was driven by Wu
The orchid is blooming.
The endless desert always makes it difficult to tell the direction. Major Tang spread his spiritual energy in all directions to find the exact location. The location given in the "Twenty-Four Chapters Sutra" was only approximate. After all, it was not like that at that time.
Now, there are longitudes and latitudes to locate, but we can only rely on oral instructions.
So what Young Master Tang got was a rough range. As for the terrain, after hundreds of years of changes, no one knows what the original place has become. It may have been submerged by sand dunes...
"Master Tang, we have been deep in the desert for more than an hour, and we still can't see the end. How big is this desert?" Axing asked.
"Haha, look at the map. I don't know how big it is. According to the news I got, we start from near the border city and go northwest along the border, about two hundred kilometers. There is a life there.
Oasis, a very small oasis, Genghis Khan's mausoleum is right there." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"About two hundred kilometers? We have been walking in the desert for several hours, I guess it is almost there." Ahu said.
"Well, according to the route, it should be nearby here, but the strange thing is that there is no oasis of life here as mentioned in the clues." Young Master Tang frowned slightly.
Young Master Tang was well prepared for the difficulties he might encounter in finding Genghis Khan's tomb. However, Young Master Tang possessed special powers and could detect a distance of more than a kilometer in a straight line. Even if he went deep underground, there would still be hundreds of meters. Genghis Khan's tomb was hidden.
Mr. Tang is confident that he will find out if he reappears.
But this premise has a general scope, that is, the oasis of life must be found. Taking the oasis of life as the starting point and radiating to the surrounding areas, Mr. Tang has gathered all the supplies and is ready for a protracted war!
"Perhaps after hundreds of years of evolution, the original oasis of life has long since ceased to exist?" Ye Qun said.
"Well, this is possible. The wind and sand here are not small. The clues clearly stated that this is indeed a small oasis of life, with hundreds of people living intelligently." Mr. Tang nodded.
"It's strange. Didn't the ancients search for Feng Shui treasure caves during their funerals? Is it possible that the descendants of Yu Yin can find that this desert is also a Feng Shui treasure place? Xiao Liuzi, you know better. Please tell us about it." Ye Hua said with a smile.
"Haha, where are the treasures of Feng Shui in the desert? Life is scarce in the desert, which means death. However, Chinese Feng Shui metaphysics also pays attention to a glimmer of life. For example, in Taoism, there are fifty avenues and four nine heavens, one of which can be escaped."
"The so-called escape is about a glimmer of hope. Nothing is absolute. There may be geomantic treasures hidden in this desert. Hu Ge, don't you say that tomb robbing is also robbing, is it your old profession? Are you right?
How much do you know about this?" Mr. Tang smiled.
"Young Master Tang, I really don't know much about the metaphysics of Feng Shui. My master has some basic books on it. This thing is mysterious and mysterious. Even my master said that this thing depends on one's ability and seventy percent on deception.
, he was a fortune teller back then, and then he discovered me and finally adopted me."
"In terms of Feng Shui for tombs, generally speaking, famous mountains and rivers are the first choice for good places for treasure caves. Therefore, many emperors and princes' tombs are buried in mountains. On the one hand, the mountains have unique terrain structures, which are easy to form treasure caves. On the other hand, it is also to prevent being buried in the mountains.
Tomb robbing and digging tomb chambers in the mountains are acts of self-protection.”
"In Feng Shui metaphysics, there is indeed a saying that there is a glimmer of hope. Some treasure caves will become evil places after being arranged, and they are specially used to harm people. There should be similar terrain in the desert, but I have never heard of it. After all, metaphysics
It’s the culture of the Central Plains, and the desert areas are rarely involved.” Hu Ge said.
"Actually, I prefer that this place was still a grassland hundreds of years ago, but after hundreds of years of vicissitudes of evolution, it has changed from a grassland to a desert. Genghis Khan's mausoleum will not be moved, so we appear here
On the grassland..." Ye Qun smiled.
Young Master Tang laughed when he heard this and said: "What Fifth Brother said is really possible. Rumor has it that the dignitaries of the Yuan Dynasty were buried on the grassland after death. I have never heard of them being buried in the desert. This may have been a grassland before.
"
"Master Tang, do we want to continue moving forward? According to the distance meter on the car, we have now traveled two hundred kilometers," Ahu said.
"Okay, let's stop now. Let's go down and have a look." Young Master Tang said.
"yes!"
After Ahu parked the car, the two pickup trucks behind him naturally also parked. Huhe and Wulan, who were waiting behind, also followed.
"Master Tang, is this the destination?" Huhe asked.
"It's almost there, but it's just strange. From the information I got, there is an oasis of life here. Although it is very small, we can't find this oasis now. Without the location of the oasis, it may be difficult to find Genghis Khan's tomb." Tang
The eldest young man sighed.
"Look for the oasis first? Mr. Tang, why don't you let Ulan and I go around and see if we can find any trace of the oasis? In the desert, a sandstorm can often destroy an oasis."
"However, wherever an oasis exists, there are still traces to follow. Ulan and I have more experience in this regard," Huhe said.
"Well, okay, let's camp here now." Young Master Tang nodded.
Wulan and Huhe went to find the oasis, one to the left and the other to the right. Young Master Tang and others took out the tents and other materials prepared in advance from the car behind them, found a suitable place, and started
Set up camp.
Young Master Tang's spiritual energy has not relaxed. In the desert, there are many deadly killers, such as rattlesnakes, scorpions, etc.
The spiritual energy enveloped an area, going several meters deep, occupying the entire space of about a hundred meters in radius.
A small rattlesnake, dozens of scorpions, a few gerbils, some ants...
The tents prepared by Young Master Tang and the others are all enclosed on all sides. It doesn't matter if they are ants or gerbils, and scorpions cannot get in. The only threat is probably this rattlesnake.
As for the rattlesnake, Mr. Tang has long wanted to taste it!
That's right, Mr. Tang plans to eat it!
In the past, Mr. Tang often watched some wilderness survival programs, especially the one starring Bear Grylls, which was the best among them.
In the film, Bell often eats little things alive, such as beetles, scorpions, and snakes!
Scorpions often cut off the poisonous stinger at the tail and can directly eat it in their mouths, but these things are small after all, and snakes are Bell's staple food!
Bell sometimes eats snakes raw, but most of the time he eats them roasted. Although he always compares them to chicken, and later says they don't taste good, for people in front of the TV, testing snakes in the wild is
Meat is definitely a rare experience!
This time, Young Master Tang encountered such a rattlesnake!
Young Master Tang slowly approached the rattlesnake. The rattlesnake felt the threat from Young Master Tang and made a strange sound from its tail, as if to warn Young Master Tang.
Ahu and Abao are also considered survival experts and have trained in all kinds of terrains, and the desert is no exception.
Upon hearing this sound, the first reaction of the two people was that there was a snake nearby!
"Master Tang, be careful."
"Haha, it's okay, I know, it's a rattlesnake. Today, we eat snake meat." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Roasted snake meat?" Ah Hu and Ah Bao smiled bitterly upon hearing this. It was the first day into the desert, and the materials they had prepared were sufficient. There was no need to eat roasted snake meat...
"Well, speaking of which, you are also special forces. Have you ever watched Wilderness Survival? Bear Grylls is said to have retired from the Royal Special Forces of the Eagle Kingdom." Young Master Tang said.
"Oh, I've seen it. He's a powerful guy. He's very courageous. He can do all kinds of fancy parachuting and all kinds of desperate situations. If he didn't get any help from the film crew, he would be really awesome!" Ahu said.
"Haha, I don't know about this, but men like to take risks. I shouldn't be so unlucky to encounter that kind of desperate situation."
"But when you come to the desert, you can roast a rattlesnake and try it. It tastes good. To be honest, after watching Wilderness Survival and the various things Bear ate in it, even though it is disgusting, I really want to try it..."
