Chapter 391 Six major events that happened in the desert
"Did you find any evidence?"
Next, the bearded man explained the reason.
It turned out that after walking east of the ancient river channel for a long time, there was an ancient city ruins built based on the tributary of the ancient river channel. However, they did not take that road at the beginning, so Jin'an did not see the ancient city.
When the bearded man took people out to find clues, because the ruins of the ancient city were too far away, it would take a day to go back and forth, so he did not go to the ruins of the ancient city.
Looking back now, when so many coincidences happened, those people in Hamti were probably treasure robbers. If they usually disguise themselves as merchants in the Western Regions, they could use this identity to steal treasures everywhere in the desert.
Hamti and the others must have robbed treasures in the ancient city that day, but they provoked the terrifying devil this time.
But these things were private guesses of several people, so Jin'an only discussed privately with a few people, but not many people knew about them and did not talk to others everywhere.
Before the exact evidence is confirmed, speculation is just speculation after all.
…
The fourth major event was that in the depths of the desert, someone found a human-faced corpse, a corpse bigger than an adult camel. That place was close to the deepest part of the desert, close to Guchi Country, which had disappeared for more than a thousand years.
Some people guessed that the big corpse on the face must have come from the legendary Guchi Kingdom.
Because Huahai Holy Mountain is called by Guchi's own people, it is actually a mountain used to bury tribesmen. In the ancient records of some ancient countries, it is also called the Tibetan Corpse Ridge.
It means that there are many people burying.
So it is not unusual to grow a corpse king in the Tibetan Corpse Ridge, but it looks bigger than an adult camel, which is a bit too shocking.
"The human face is a big corpse?" Jin An was really surprised this time.
This incident is terrifying to others, but it is good news for him!
Unexpectedly, his trip to the desert was quite smooth. He found many clues about the location of Guchi Country in just half a month after entering the desert.
The approximate location of Guchi Country is in the south of the deepest part of the desert. In fact, this location information is still very large in the vast sea of sand. But now there are clues of human-faced corpse, which has helped him a lot. That is a signpost that guides the direction of Zangzi Ridge.
Uncle Keremu was scared and said in fear: "There are not many people in the desert who know corpses. If we hadn't just escaped from the corpses of corpses not long ago, we had just seen what corpses look like not long ago. When we heard the corpses of monster insects on human faces, we wouldn't have recognized them as soon as possible."
…
The fifth major event is that there seems to be a problem with the underground well water in Yueqiang Kingdom. Recently, it has been severely controlled by clean water and has added a lot of water taxes. They have been desperately rushing to the road for three consecutive days, consumed a lot of water and were almost drunk, resulting in a large gap in water. This time they were unable to replenish the water as usual before going on the road.
For the next period of the journey, they will save more water than before.
If there is no water in the desert, people will soon die of thirst.
I guess a few people in the caravan will die of thirst in the next journey.
Now there seems to be a problem with the water source of Yue Qiang Kingdom. It is limited to supply water to the outside world, and only priority is given to the people of the country. So the bearded man and the others decided to change the rest for three or four days to two days. After queuing up to buy water, they will set off to leave Yue Qiang Kingdom immediately. Yue Qiang Kingdom seems a little unsafe this time.
At the end of the conversation, the bearded man said in a heavy tone: "If there is really a problem with the water source of Yueqiang Kingdom, hey, it seems that another small country will disappear in the desert."
…
The sixth major event is that the desert has not been peaceful recently. There are many more devils killing people and cannibalizing people. I still don’t know the specific reason.
Compared with the first five things, although the sixth thing talks about the least content, it is the most dangerous.
…
Time comes to the hour of Hai.
The sky in the desert has darkened. Yueqiang City, which has been bustling for a day, has gradually turned off the lights of hundreds of families, and everyone falls asleep.
It has been a while since Jin'an returned to his yard, and dinner has already ended.
The dark night enveloped Yueqiang City, and only the torches in the direction of the city wall burned the night sky red, illuminating the city wall and a few feet away outside the city wall. The soldiers of Yueqiang Country were standing guard on the city wall with their duties, using the flames to patrol the dark desert world like ripples and flowing water, concentrate and be nervous and alert to the quiet world outside the city.
At night, the desert is as silent as the cemetery, and the temperature drops terrible.
Crackling.
The huge bonfire outside the city wall burned violently the trees. The crystal grains of white salt spread around the city wall were reflected in red against the firelight, and used to drive away the invisible devils hidden in the darkness.
Jin'an's residence.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
In the yard with the tightly closed door, there seemed to be a dragon and tiger fighting, wind and thunder roaring, and blood exploding.
Jin'an had just slept for one day during the day and did not continue to sleep at night. Instead, he first beat "Twelve Poles Xingyiquan" from the beginning, and then practiced the tenth selves.
The neck area of the body that is practiced by this turtle hard qigong.
Chi, also known as Pig Luang Po in ancient mythology, is actually a type of crocodile.
The whole body of the turtle is covered with scales, as hard as black iron, and as strong as thick as a body, and extremely powerful. This tenth turtle is to practice the neck like a turtle, making the membrane, muscles, and bones as tough as dragon flesh, and cannot even cut through the sword.
Just when the yard was practicing martial arts like wind and thunder, suddenly, the movements in the yard were quiet at some point. Jin An, who was practicing martial arts naked, pushed the door out in a deep look. When he saw the inn owner Kutuk and his son-in-law, each holding a jar with salt, bent over and grabbed the salt in front of each resident's door.
Seeing that it was the boss Kuturuk and his son-in-law standing outside the door, the deep expression on Jin An's face instantly disappeared, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that it's you boss. I thought someone was standing outside the yard and not leaving."
"Boss, are you spreading white salt to ward off evil spirits?"
To be honest, the inn owner Kuturuk and his son-in-law were also shocked by Jin An who suddenly and quietly pushed open the door. Both of them smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jin An, you have no sound when you walk, you scare us."
Then the boss Kuturuk sighed and explained: "There are some difficulties in the desert recently. These salts can drive away unclean things. As long as you sprinkle salt on the door and windowsill, no devil can enter the house."
"Boss, you guys are kind-hearted and think so thoughtful. No wonder the inn business is so good. No matter who stays in your inn, it will definitely be a look back." Jin An praised without hesitation.
When people get old, they like to listen to good things, especially this inn is still the hard work he has been running for a lifetime. The inn owner Kuturuk was told by Jin An that smiled on his face.
"You people from Kangding are worthy of being a person who has seen the world. They speak nicely. Last time, a pair of masters and servants stayed in a hotel, they also speak nicely like you, Daoist Jin'an."
Perhaps because Jin'an's words came to his heart, he sprinkled a circle of salt in and out of the yard where Jin'an was, which was more than other customers.
Although the salt in the desert is not as expensive as that in Kangding Country, it still costs money to buy it. The inn owner sprinkles so much white salt on Jin'an's yard, which is really pleasing to Jin'an and is very enthusiastic.
After the inn owner and his son-in-law left, they continued to spread white salt to other guests' doors. Jin'an continued to close the gate of the courtyard to practice "Twelve Poles Xingyiquan".
When she thought of a nightmare, she jumped up as if she was aware of it, and wanted to jump out of bed and leave the bed, but when she was about to go down the ground, she was afraid and hesitant again. She thought of the woman sleeping with her back to back under the bed, and whether she would also reach out to grab her ankle with one hand when she stretched out one foot.
Thinking of the fear, she was so scared that she spoke out.
"Princess, princess, are you okay?"
Hearing the movement, the guards and maids guarding outside the boudoir all broke into the door.
Gulizal was not a little sheep in the desert. After waking up from a nightmare, as her mind became clearer, she quickly calmed down and said, "No, it's okay, I just had a nightmare."
At this time, there were more people, and the popularity in the room became lively. The temperature was no longer deserted. Gulizar hesitated. She mustered up the courage to get out of bed barefoot. It was her snow-white and delicate slender feet, delicate and white, as if she had grown up with milk since she was a child, and she also looked like a peeled egg, exquisite and beautiful.
After she got out of bed, she boldly lifted the golden silk bed sheet. The bed was empty and there was no woman under the bed board. Huh, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief... Suddenly, her eyes widened, her heart stopped suddenly, and a few drops of water fell on the bed!
