Holy Bone

Chapter 420 Desert Haizi (6k chapter, there will be another chapter later)
"Daoist Jin'an, is this the Holy Mountain of Huahai in Guchi Kingdom?"

"It is said that the Holy Mountain of Huahai in the Guchi Kingdom is usually a mountain, and it will melt into the sea in the desert on the day of the annual sacrificial ceremony in the Guchi Kingdom, so later people also call it the Holy Mountain of Huahai!"

"Unexpectedly, the legendary mountain turning into the sea is actually the melting of the snow mountain after it snowed in the desert!"

Under the bunker re-reinforced by Jin'an and the others, Yali looked at the silver-clad desert outside the cave and said excitedly.

At this time, the world outside the cave was very cold, and the clouds above the head had been shrouded for several days, the temperature was extremely extreme, and there had been continuous blizzards.

There seems to be no tendency to stop at all.

The wind and snow outside the cave was too heavy and too cold, even Yali didn't dare to get too close to the entrance of the cave, and only Jin'an, who was full of qi and blood like a stove and had a successful cultivation, could stand at the entrance of the cave with a rosy complexion and shovel Snow.

At this time, in several buildings under the bunker, several bonfires were crackling and burning, and some people kept adding charcoal to the fire.

These charcoals were all left by the sand bandits.

Those sand robbers prepared a lot of supplies for this trip into the desert, including warm clothes, charcoal, food and water, and hay, wormwood, and salt bricks for camels.

It can be said that the material preparation is sufficient.

In the end, it was all cheaper for Jin An.

If it weren't for this gang of sand thieves, and the sand pits were blown up to hide from the snow, and so many supplies were left behind, Jin An felt that it would be impossible for him to see the holy scenery of the snow mountain so smoothly this time.

At this time, the world under the sandpit was crowded with 48 camels, four sheep, and ten people. It was extremely crowded, and there was some unpleasant stench, but death from stinking was better than freezing to death outside.

Moreover, so many camels are crowded together, which is equal to thick natural pure fur, which is warm for warmth. Naturally, no one will think that these camels are smelly.

The wind and snow outside the cave was too heavy, and the speed at which the ice and snow piled up at the entrance of the cave was almost the same as that of Jin An’s shoveling speed. Jin An had to keep shoveling snow to keep the entrance of the cave from being blocked by heavy snow. He had a happy expression on his face while shoveling snow Yali replied: "Yari, your guess is the same as mine. It seems that the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom we are looking for is probably in these snow-capped mountains."

"It's no wonder that over the years, so many people have gone into the depths of the desert to search for the Guchi Kingdom and the Holy Mountain of Huahai, but they have never been able to find the Guchi Kingdom. It turns out that they can only find the Holy Mountain of Huahai only in certain seasons and at certain times. Those people are not It's too early to be too late, and even we almost missed it."

Yali said with a simple smile: "This time, I would like to thank those sand robbers. They have finally done a good deed. If there is no sandpit blown up here to hide from the snow, I guess we would be too cold to leave, let alone leave." It is possible to see these magnificent snow-capped mountains."

Yali's words directly attracted a group of camels to yell, and those camels kept yelling, and their intestines were regretful.

No wonder they took so long to fully prepare.

In the end, he made wedding clothes for others.

Can they not be depressed and vomit blood?

The snow lasted for two days and two nights at a time. The white wind was blowing non-stop in the desert. The ground and the sky were all white, and the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker.

Jin An continued to shovel snow for two days without sleep, and at night, the snow finally showed a tendency to gradually decrease.

It's not that other people refuse to help.

The wind and snow were too heavy for these people.

When the long-lost sun came back to the east and rose from the east, the weather finally turned clear and the sun was shining brightly. The sun shone on the snow like a mirror, so bright that it was too dazzling to open your eyes.

"The sun is out, the sun is out!"

"It's finally sunny!"

Some people cheered, and gathered around the entrance of the cave to look out at the snow scene. It was a very shocking scene. The boundless and vast sea of ​​sand turned into a white world, like a fairy palace, sacred and spotless.

Majestic!

vast!
holy spirit!

The ancient snowy land, cold and mighty for thousands of miles!
The snow-capped mountains stretch into peaks, shocking the world!
At this time, the four sheep who were also curiously gathered at the entrance of the cave tried to walk out of the cave carefully, but their bodies sank lightly, and the whole body was submerged in the soft snow, leaving only a hole in place.

Someone went to rescue the sheep, but the whole person sank under the snow with a thud, and the snow was higher than a person during the two-day blizzard.

Fortunately, one person and one sheep are not far from the entrance of the cave, so they can dig out by themselves.

……

……

The sound of gurgling water is all around my ears.

The ice and snow in the desert melt, and the water seeps down. When the underground sand absorbs the water and becomes sticky, the water on the ground can no longer be drained down. Countless small rivers begin to flow in the desert.

Today is half a month after the last blizzard. With the sun rising for half a month, the weather in the desert has become hot again, and the ice and snow are melting very fast.

A dozen of them in Jin'an watched the snow and the melted snow water form day by day, finally converging into a river, winding its way to the hinterland of the low-lying desert basin.

And as the snow melted more and more, the soft sand in the river continued to wash away, and finally there was a rushing river in the desert, winding like a Canggu dragon and extending into the depths of the desert basin.

Like all rivers returning to the sea, the waves are magnificent.

Seeing the miraculous scene of snow and water converging into a big river in front of them, Yali and the others had shocking expressions on their faces, calling out miracles and miracles, this is a miracle.

According to the old Sadiq, even the villagers of Teshisata Village, which is the closest to the desert basin, have never seen such a miracle in the desert.

Although their ancestors occasionally went deep into the desert and approached the desert basin, they never approached in winter.

Because the desert is surrounded by Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, the cold wind from the vents of Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains will freeze everyone who goes deep into the desert in winter to death in the desert.

The desert basin is located in the deepest part of the desert, the water source is exhausted, there is no rain, there are no desert countries, so there are no businessmen from the Western Regions to go deep into such a deep place to do business, no merchants, no country, no desert people willing to come here, the desert basin is For example, the restricted area of ​​life has been a desert no-man's land since ancient times.In addition, the winter in the desert is very cold, so no one will enter the desert basin in winter, and naturally no one will discover the miracles here.

After all, the desert is too big.

There are too many places where life is forbidden due to lack of water.

Even the villagers of Teshisata Village have never seen the desert miracle in front of them, let alone other outsiders.

One is that no one would choose to go deep into the desert in winter.

The second is that the time is wrong, the desert winter is long, and December is only one of them.

The third is that even if you go deep into the desert, if the location is not right, you will not be able to see the amazing miracle of nature in front of you. After all, the desert is too big and manpower is limited.

It is precisely because of so many harsh conditions that few people have discovered the miracles in this desert.

As for why the sand bandits just appeared here at this time, Jin An interrogated them again, and found that those people were all outlaws, and it was purely a coincidence that they appeared here at this time.

These sand thieves, who are more greedy than sand wolves, can't sit still and wait slowly for half a year, and then enter the depths of the desert after the spring of the next year, thinking that they can blow up the small hill country to find the treasure early, and then spend money and drink to play with women earlier, lie down. Live a warm winter on a woman's belly, and don't have to go out to find work in cold weather.

"Daoist Jin'an, the snow is almost melting, why haven't we found the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom? There are all sand dunes here, and there is no mountain to see?" Yali stood with Jin'an at the entrance of the cave, looking at The big river, snow water, and sand dunes outside, he said doubtfully.

"Since it's a mountain, it should be a mountain with rocks. It doesn't mean these sand dunes, right?"

The snow has melted for half a month.

They stayed at the entrance of the cave for half a month.

Didn't even see a rock, let alone a mountain.

The rushing river outside is still washing away the sand on both sides of the bank. Looking at the river channel that has been meandering towards the hinterland of the basin, Jin An pondered and said, "Yari, where do you think the end of this river channel will be?"

what?
Yali, who had been stretching his neck and trying to find the holy mountain of Guchi Kingdom, didn't understand why Jin An suddenly changed the topic to the river, he was stunned and forgot to answer Jin An's words.

Jin'an continued to ponder and said to himself: "The flow of water is to go to the lower place, and there must be a lower-lying place in the hinterland of the basin... Yali, you continue to stay here and take care of the supplies and those camels and sheep. Go outside and find a place with a higher terrain to see which direction the river flows. It is not a solution for us to wait here all the time. The mountain is a dead thing. It will not run in front of us by itself, so we can only rely on us to get out. I found it."

"But Daoist Jin'an, now the sand outside is full of snow water, making it difficult for people to walk on it... It's too dangerous outside, Daoist Jin'an, let's not think of other ways." Yali dissuaded.

At this time, Jin An had already turned around and walked back into the cave. He found two wooden planks and tied them under the soles of his shoes. He tried to see if the ropes were firm, and then tried whether the wooden planks were strong enough to affect normal walking.

These boards can increase the tension area of ​​the soles of the feet, which is the guarantee of whether he can walk safely in the swamp, so he has to be more careful.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Jin'an, Yali called the other two when Jin'an was getting ready, and the three of them went out with Jin'an.

"Anis, Adan, you and I will keep up with Daoist Jin'an. If there is any situation, multiple people will take care of it."

Although he knew that Jin'an was highly skilled and did not need them to protect his personal safety, unexpected events in the desert were too serious, and he could come back and ask someone for help in case something happened.

Jin'an did not reject Yali's kindness this time.

soon.

The four of them got ready and began to walk slowly and carefully on the wet and soft sand soaked in water with the help of the buoyancy and tension of the wooden planks, walking towards the distance along the direction of the river.

At the beginning, the team wanted to find a high place to see the situation in the distance, but found that this was not realistic. The slope was too steep, and people could not climb too far on the wet and soft sand dunes. Finally, they found a place with a gentle slope. Some sand dunes climb high and look far away, and you can see a small blue reflective object appearing at the end of the desert.

But it was too far away to see exactly what it was.

Jin An called Yali and the others to continue driving in that direction. When he climbed to another high ground and looked into the distance again, Jin An was taken aback.

"Daoist Jin'an, have you seen what that is?" Yali, Ennis, and Adan asked curiously because their eyesight was not as far as Jin'an's.

Jin An took a deep breath, and said with a shocking expression on his face, "That's the reflection of Desert Haizi under the sun!"

"Sacred Mountain of Huahai! We finally saw the sea! Since there is Desert Haizi in that direction, the sacred mountain of Guchi Kingdom must be there!"

"Let's go back and meet other people in the camp. Tomorrow, we'll take everyone to Haizi in the desert. I don't know when the Haizi in the desert will disappear. The sooner we go there, the better!"

He said with an excited look on his face.

He hurried back with the two of them.

Desert Haizi?

The three of them were shocked by Jin An's words, but they stretched their necks several times to look hard, but they could only see blue reflections, and they couldn't tell it was the sea.

Jin'an and the others had traveled too far, and they were delayed for a day on the road, but on the way back, they encountered a sand avalanche.

A sand dune became heavy and unstable after being soaked in snow water, and a violent sand avalanche occurred, just like a mudslide, and half of the mountain disappeared in an instant.

This danger was just a small episode in the middle, and everyone returned safely.

As soon as they returned to Xiaoqiu Country's sandpit, Su Reti and the others, who were left behind to take care of supplies, camels, and sheep, hurried up to ask how the situation was going, and asked if they had encountered any danger?
After Jin'an finished the general situation, he began to let everyone prepare to see if they could find more wood chips in the ruins of the small hill country and tie them to the soles of people and camels. walk over.

As Jin'an's words fell, everyone began to look for everything that could be used.

Looking at the busy people and the few sheep who can't help, he said while eating hay and watching the excitement: "When I think about seeing the sea in the desert, I feel that even my heart is much younger. Following Daoist Jin'an along the way is an eye-opener, it turns out there are so many unbelievable things in the world!"

Ilham said excitedly.

He didn't regret becoming a sheep with Jin'an at all. What he saw and heard in the past few months was more exciting than what he saw and heard in his whole life, just as dazzling as her daughter Gulizal.

Go, go, go.

Several sheep continued to eat the hay in the bag in front of them with their heads down.

"It would be great if there was a big boat, and I would take the boat directly along the river to Desert Haizi. I just heard from Yali and the others that it is very dangerous outside, and the sand dunes are in danger of being washed away by snow and water at any time." Little Sahafu raised his head. , Tilting his head and said, a few pieces of hay stuck to his wet nose.

"I see, nephew, you are thinking about farts. This is the depths of the desert, which is dry and water-scarce. Where can a boat run here?" Old Sadiq was listened to by his nephew's young and innocent thoughts.

At this time, old Sadik noticed a few sticks of hay sticking to little Sahaf's nose, so he licked off the hay for his nephew, and by the way, helped little Sahaf lick the wool on his face, so as not to make the wool look dirty and messy. Get up more refreshed.

This is called licking the calf.

"Who said there are no boats in the desert? Uncle, have you forgotten the legends about the Devil Mountain, Devil City, and Devil Ship that the old people in the desert have been talking about? The boat in the dry ancient river is the stranded soul..."

Little Sahaf hadn't finished speaking yet, the old Sadiq, who had just licked the calf affectionately, had already hit little Sahaf on the forehead with a sheep's head mallet, causing little Sahaf to bleat in pain.

Injuring one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred, the old Sadiq, who was also so painful that his head was buzzing, glared at the little Sahafu while enduring the severe pain: "I only know that I will be a foodie all day long, and talk at night." What nonsense! Don’t you know that when we call on the devil, the devil will also eavesdrop on people’s speech!”

Little Sahaf felt aggrieved. He just wanted to talk back, but old Sadik stared back into his stomach.

In order to prevent his careless nephew from talking nonsense, old Sadiq turned his head and looked at the group of pitiful sand robber camels crowded in the corner: "Tomorrow is the first time you will travel with us in the desert. Where you understand, you can follow us and Senior Yang, and pay close attention to how we walk in the desert."

"?"

"What are you looking at, I'm talking to you!"

In the corner, even the desert in winter can’t stop the enthusiasm of those male camels, they are trying to climb the wall, while the sand robber camels transformed from animal husbandry on the other side are staring at them collectively.

This scene made old Sadik a little confused.

"Fourth uncle, don't they want to climb the wall too!" Little Sahafu had a shocked expression on his face, and a lump of grass fell out of his open mouth.

"!"

Old Sadik looked shocked.

"!"

Irihamu looked shocked.

The sand-robbed camel that was called back to life by old Sadik, someone cried bitterly: "I feel like I'm done, I'm slowly becoming a real camel, I haven't touched a woman for a few days, and even looking at a female camel feels pretty! "

Camels have a habit of foaming at the mouth when they are in a bad temper.If someone provoked the camel, he would not only foam at the mouth but also spit on people.

The Sand Pirate Camel was still crying, foaming at the same time.

He felt sorry for his family.

Sorry grandpa.

Sorry humans.

To have thoughts about a female camel.

At this time, the other sand robber camels also had ugly faces. Only then did they realize that death and being turned into a camel by a demon is not the most terrifying thing. Think of yourself as a camel.

This is not even allowed to be a human being.

Just when there were more sand-robbed camels crying, the little Sahafu, who had just recovered from the shock, hesitated for a while, and added another sentence: "Fourth uncle, you said that Renhe...will get pregnant ?"

Old Sadik: "?"

Ilham: "?"

Sand Pirates Camels: "???"

Meh, even the goat who has been quietly chewing hay, rarely takes a look at the talkative and straightforward little Sahaf.

Next, the group of sand robber camels started to cry in fright, crying and begging Jin'an to turn them back into humans. They don't want to be cows or horses anymore, they want to be humans.

"Daoist Jin'an, please turn us back into human beings!"

"As long as we can become human again, we can do whatever you want! Except for camels and other animals!"

The camels here suddenly yelled loudly, which quickly attracted the attention of Jin An, who was already busy. When he came over to ask about the situation, Jin An was also a little dumbfounded.

Then he actually thought about it seriously for a while.

It is common sense that there is reproductive isolation between different species, so the question arises, is animal creation counted as humans or animals?

Of course, Jin An would not feel sympathy for these evil-doing sand robbers. After leaving a word, he went on busy splitting wood.

"Don't think too much, you have to make the female camel look up to you."

These words are simply heartbreaking.

The group of Sand Pirate camels were completely shut down by Jin An's words.

Jin'an was indeed very busy, and he didn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters. After half a month of recuperation, the team will start off again tomorrow, and there are many things and details that need to be prepared.

This whole trip was busy until the dead of night, and the group of sand robber camels cried for a long time, and gradually fell asleep.

As the night darkened, the cold atmosphere outside the cave also intensified.

Desert winter has been advancing.

If there is no water mixed with qi and blood pills distributed by Jin An, it only takes one night, and eight or nine people here will be frozen to death in their sleep.

Tonight, Jin'an asked everyone to rest early, and tomorrow they will be heading towards Desert Haizi, so it is estimated that there will be no rest time for the whole day tomorrow.

As the night darkened, everyone leaned against each other, or leaned against the wall of the ruins, and fell asleep with a bonfire.

Only Jin An and a few others were in charge of keeping watch at the entrance of the cave.

Others kept vigil to strengthen their spirits, while Jin'an's vigil closed his eyes and practiced. During the meditation practice, his six senses were the most sensitive.

The desert is not peaceful at night, and the winter wind keeps whistling at night, wrinkling the snow water.

Little Sahaf slept until midnight and was awakened by his bladder. He walked out of the crowded corridor and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"how?"

Before the little Sahafu approached, Jin An had already closed his eyes and turned his head to look.

"Daoist Jin'an, I, I am in a hurry to urinate." Little Sahafu said.

"Ask your fourth uncle to go with you, don't leave an order."

Because the environment in the cave is closed, everyone consciously solves it outside, so as not to cover up the place where everyone rests and sleeps.

Old Sadik was sleeping soundly, when he was suddenly woken up by someone, he got up and glared at his little Sahaf angrily: "What are you doing?"

When I get up, I don't know whether to kiss my nephew or not.

The son followed suit.

But Jin'an is the only one who is afraid of getting up.

Jin An said calmly: "Old Sadiq, little Sahafu said he was in a hurry to urinate, you go outside with your nephew, don't leave alone."

"Oh." Old Sadik nodded honestly in agreement, he didn't dare to get angry with Jin An.

However, after leaving the cave, the old Sadiq did not miss his little Sahaf: "I only know how to eat during the day, and only know how to drink at night."

It was freezing outside, and when the two sheep came out of the cave, they were suddenly shivered by the cold wind, and the old Sadik, who had no desire to urinate, also felt the urge to urinate.

The two sheep squatted side by side in the cold wind, their buttocks were chilly for a while, and the surroundings were pitch black, so dark that it made people feel frightened. Fortunately, the flickering fire at the entrance of the cave not far away gave them courage.

The two sheep continued to squat.

gurgling--

"Fourth Uncle."

"Say."

"Are you running thin?"

"Hush! Don't talk! The movement seems to be coming from those snowy riverbeds!"

The night was dark, the moonlight shone on the snowy river, and there was only blackness. Accompanied by the sound of rippling, a huge black ship turned out from a corner of a sand dune. It was an old, huge ship, and the sail on the mast was torn like cloth. The hull is covered with a lot of sand, and the creaking deck seems to carry the sigh of a thousand years, thick, old, and rotten.

baa!
Frightened sheep cry to break the desert night.
