Holy Bone

Chapter 468 Opened up a Buddhist country in the deepest desert, a dead Buddhist country

Jin'an was the first to chase away the silly sheep and catch up.

But he was the last to arrive.

This silly sheep is too lazy to sit around and is too good at doing foreign work.

He was eating other people's dust, and when he finally caught up with everyone with a disheveled face, he saw everyone dismounted from their camels and were watching something, so he also jumped off the sheep's back and came forward curiously to check.

It turned out that there was a big rift valley blocking the way forward, and everyone stopped at the edge of a cliff and looked down. The cliff was so deep that even the sunlight could not shine into the big rift valley.

This is a majestic and magnificent Great Rift Valley, but the most magnificent and magical thing is that the Great Rift Valley is covered with many ancient vines and vegetation, and the cliffs on both sides are carved with giant stone statues of Buddha.

The smallest of those Buddhas are ten feet high, and the largest ones are thirty or forty feet high. There is a huge Buddha's head facing the rising sun and protruding from the Great Rift Valley. Just like the real body of the Buddha came to the world, people can't help but worship him.

This is what they saw visually while standing on the top of the cliff. In the depths of the invisible rift valley, there are still many majestic Buddha statues standing. They have survived the wind and sun for thousands of years.

They came to a desert Buddha country!
In the Great Rift Valley, in addition to the giant stone statues of Buddha, there are also several majestic corridors carved out of the crevices on both sides of the cliff.

There are many human buildings standing between these corridors, and the buildings on both sides are connected together by plank roads. Even those plank roads are carved with a large number of Sakyamuni patterns and scriptures.

It's just that after so many years of Feng Shui sun exposure, those plank roads have long been decayed, either the wooden boards are broken, or the wooden boards are completely decayed, leaving only bare iron chains.

The vast yellow sand not only casts a layer of mysterious religious color on this desert Buddhist country, but also brings a profound sense of history to this desert Buddhist country. A kind of my Buddha's ancient and eternal artistic conception of heaven and earth stirs back and forth in my chest.

But this Buddhist kingdom is dead.

The Buddha Kingdom is quiet and empty, and no one can be seen.

Only those stone statues of Buddha that have remained unchanged for thousands of years have witnessed the former glory here.

In fact, there is a big rift valley here, Jin An is not surprised. He has long guessed that the basin in the desert used to be an ocean or a huge lake in ancient times, and it is normal to have ravines.

"There are so many statues of gods and Buddhas here, and there are ancient vines and trees in the desert. I even heard the sound of water flow. Could it be... this is the kingdom of the undead gods we have been looking for? The sound of water flow is the source of all rivers in the desert. Longevity River?" Someone murmured in a daze.

The other person also looked at the scene in front of him in shock: "Some people say that the pure land in the pure land of the Buddhist kingdom refers to gold. If you want me to say that so many plants and trees can grow in the dry and dry desert, this is the pure land on earth, and this is the other shore. It is the Buddha who saves people across the sea of ​​suffering and reaches the shore without suffering and hunger."

As the words of these two people fell, many people followed suit, thinking that this is the pure land of the Buddha Kingdom, which is the kingdom of the immortal gods they were looking for.

Jin An looked at these overjoyed people with cold eyes.

Everyone knows that water flows downhill.

The terrain of the canyon here first excludes the theory of the origin of desert rivers.

The source of desert river water can be summarized into two main points, one is snow-melt water flowing down from high mountains; the other is underground river.

There is a legend circulating in the desert. There is also a boundless ocean under the boundless desert. It is thousands of years of melting snow from the snow-capped mountains that flowed into the ground.But no one has been able to find out where the entrance to the underground ocean is, another special world used by the gods to protect desert animals.

There is a sound of water in this canyon, it should be that a tributary of an underground river happens to pass by.

As for why there is so much vegetation here?
Don’t forget, there used to be an oasis here, and a brilliant civilization was born here. The sunshine in the canyon is not strong, the water vapor evaporation is not large, and there are underground rivers passing by. It makes sense that this place can be a small world of its own.

But Jin An later found out that he had guessed everything wrong, and this Buddhist country was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Those who were discussing excitedly were all from Yan Kuan's side. Although Jin An already had some guesses in his mind, he was too lazy to explain.That Lord Yan and the mountain guard are not stupid, and they should have seen this already.

Standing on the edge of the cliff overlooking the miracles of the Buddhist Kingdom, I am amazed that these ancient desert countries can really toss and build such a vast Buddhist country in the desert, and then I muttered in my heart that religious belief is indeed invincible, then turned and walked to the camel team next to me .

Those camel teams were not their camels, but those left by the person who jumped off the cliff before and disappeared.

After checking some of the items carried on the camels, Jin An was relieved that these camels belonged to those northern grassland people.

Seeing Jin An walking towards the camel team, Mr. Yiyun also turned around curiously and said, "I just heard from Yan Kuan and those people discussing that they are going to go to the Buddhist Kingdom of the Canyon to replenish water and wild fruits, why don't you go to the Buddhist Kingdom with them to replenish water? , instead ran over to find the things these camels carried?"

Jin An laughed happily when he heard the words: "These camels belong to those people from the northern grasslands. The terrain in the canyon is complicated. Who knows if there are any ambushes or other dangers hidden, and there is no way to directly grab the water."

While talking, he put the water bag on the camel’s back to the old Sadiq’s three camels like an ant moving a house, and when he couldn’t put it down, he put it on the back of Mr. Yiyun’s camel team, tossing back and forth endlessly. Almost.

"Those northern prairie tribes harass our border gates every autumn and winter, burning, killing and looting the people at the border gates every year. I'm charging some interest in advance for their crimes."

"Young Master Yiyun, don't be in a daze, you and Qi Bo will also empty these water bags together, call Ai Yimaimati and the others to carry water together, and when Yan Kuan and the others realize it, they will not be able to share it. "

Uh.

Mr. Yiyun watched Jin An keep carrying water bags like a little money fan, and was also amused by Jin An's appearance. She smiled and said, "You are not afraid that these waters were poisoned in advance and put here on purpose. ?”

Jin'an was still carrying water: "What are you afraid of, mark these water bags, and let the silly sheep test the poison before each drink. Anyway, it is as strong as a cow, and even a little poison can't put it down. It has tried it before. Poison, it has the most experience in this regard.”

Goat: "What?"

The old Sadik and the three on the side heard cold sweat on their foreheads.

Mr. Yiyun also joined in moving the water: "Such a majestic Buddha kingdom appeared in the desert, so you are not suspicious at all? You are not at all curious to go down and see what secrets are in this Buddha kingdom? Maybe the Nine Faces we are looking for The Buddha is hiding in this Buddhist kingdom to practice?"

Jin An glanced at Yan Kuan and the others who were still discussing countermeasures on the edge of the cliff: "We came to the desert to find the Kingdom of the Immortal God. If there is the Kingdom of the Immortal God, there is the Nine-Faced Buddha."

"Besides, since we entered the desert basin, the Guchi Kingdom, Wuershi, and Baizu people we met along the way have become more and more lunatics. I am afraid that this Buddha country is also not simple. I think it will be worse than Wuershi and Baizuren. more dangerous."

"So after we got the water, we continued on our way along the ancient river. No matter what secrets there are in this Buddhist kingdom, finding the kingdom of the undead is our first priority."

Mr. Yiyun nodded thoughtfully.

Then he raised his eyes to look at Jin An: "Unexpectedly, Daoist Jin An's mind is still a slick heart."
