Chapter 895: The Abandoned Post Station

Tianjizi, can we find a leeward place to take refuge?"

"Okay! We walked further on, and when we found a sheltered spot, we stopped. ”

Tianjizi also has this intention. It's easy to get lost and deviate from your path in windy and sandy weather with very poor visibility. So it's better to wait until the weather improves before you start the journey.

Hazy, a mountain peak appeared in the distance. Long Jingtian seems to see hope, where there are mountain peaks, there is naturally a safe haven, like an arm that can shelter from the wind and rain.

"There were a couple of big sand dunes in front of us, and we went there to take shelter from the wind. Tianjizi pointed to the mountain peak in Long Jingtian's eyes.

Only then did Long Jingtian understand that it was not a mountain peak, but a sand dune. The sand dunes here are so big, dozens of meters high, like a small mountain.

Everyone turned to the back of the sand dune, and it was really calm here, and it was completely two worlds compared to the desert. Zhang Zhenfeng and Long Jingtian sat on the sand. The disciple lay between the two of them, squinting his eyes to prevent the sand from scraping in.

Zhang Zhenfeng unscrewed the kettle and took a sip of water. A mouth full of sand shook in his mouth, and a mouthful of earthy smell. He spat the water onto the ground with a sip, and the thirsty sand immediately greedily sucked the bounty's saliva and devoured it in an instant.

"Don't waste water!" Long Jingtian glared at Zhang Zhenfeng, "It's hard to find water in the desert, if the water is used up, you must die of thirst!"

Zhang Zhenfeng was really annoyed by this nosy Long Jingtian, he didn't say a word, put on a mask and lay on the sand. My legs are so sore, just take a nap.

Long Jingtian smiled understandingly.

"Long Jingtian, what are you smiling at?" Tianjizi looked at Long Jingtian in confusion, thinking that she had a nervous problem!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Long Jingtian smiled but did not answer, and also followed Zhang Zhenfeng's example and lay on the sand.

It's so warm on the back! Long Jingtian immediately felt the temperature of the sand. This is the climate of the desert region, where the temperature varies significantly throughout the day, from 60 to 80 degrees Celsius in the afternoon in summer and autumn, and below 10 degrees Celsius at night.

This feeling of warmth makes people feel sleepy, and the lullaby works even better. Encountering such ghost weather, even a Taoist priest-born Tianjizi can't do anything. Everyone had to wait here quietly, and let the wind howl, and everyone and the disciples fell asleep unconsciously.

However, a natural disaster that no one could have imagined was slowly coming to them. In a few minutes, everyone will be asleep in the desert forever.

The crowd was asleep in the desert unconsciously. The wind began to change, a powerful whirlpool rose from not far away, and the sand on the ground was rolled up to form a large funnel. The force of the strong cyclone was unimaginable, and it pushed the entire sand dunes.

The dune, like an animal with long legs, begins to move forward slowly, but it moves slowly and should be measured in millimeters.

Danger is approaching step by step, and the sand dunes have slowly covered one of Long Sedum's feet, and it won't be long before everyone will sleep in the sand dunes forever. Perhaps a thousand years from now, archaeologists will be surprised to find mummies buried under the sand dunes.

Oops......

The shrewdness of the younger brothers played a role, and everyone suddenly opened their eyes and roared loudly. Everyone slept deeply, and the cries of the disciples were blown away by the strong wind, but they still slept soundly.

Hurry up! A disciple bit Long Jingtian's collar and pulled it hard, and at this time the sand had already covered half of Long Jingtian's legs.

Long Jingtian opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she pulled her leg out of the sand with all her might.

"Zhang Zhenfeng, Tianjizi, wake up!" she ran over and pushed them hard. Tianjizi rolled over and stood up from the sand, looked at the surroundings vigilantly, and couldn't help but gasp. He blamed himself for being so careless that he almost killed everyone.

Zhang Zhenfeng was pushed several times before he opened his eyes lazily, and said weakly: "Let me sleep for a while, I'm dreaming!"

"If you dream again, you will be in the palace of Hades. Long Jingtian grabbed Zhang Zhenfeng's ears and pulled him up.

"Ouch!

Zhang Zhenfeng screamed and sat up, only to realize that his legs had been buried under the sand.

"Who? who of you did it?" Zhang Zhenfeng thought it was a prank, "Oh! Good disciple, it must be you." ”

Tianjizi pulled Zhang Zhenfeng up, "Let's get out of here quickly! Danger may occur at any time." ”

Zhang Zhang Zhenfeng realized that no one was making such a boring joke on him, it turned out that the sand dunes had moved, and he almost really saw the king of Hades.

"Tianjizi is such a big wind and sand, where can we go to take shelter from the wind when we leave here?" asked Zhang Zhenfeng.

Tianjizi took out the map from his pocket, and the wind blew the map rattle. The crowd squatted on the ground in a circle and placed the map in the middle.

Pointing to a square sign on the map, Tianjizi said, "Let's go here." ”

"What is this?"

Long Jingtian couldn't understand the meaning of the symbols on the map.

"It's a sign of the building. Tianjizi said as he folded the map and put it in his pocket, "It looks like it should be an abandoned post station, about eight kilometers away from here." ”

Everyone packed their bags and walked in the direction of the post station. Zhang Zhang Zhenfeng has always been confused by the word "post station", and after listening to Tianjizi's explanation, he learned that the post station was a place for people to transmit palace documents and military information in ancient times, or to and from officials on the way to eat and lodging, and change horses.

In this way, this post station is at least a hundred years old, although there are still marks on the map, but when you get there, it may have been changed beyond recognition, and only the ruins remain.

Tianjizi is a well-trained Taoist priest who walks like a fly. Zhang Zhenfeng and Long Jingtian followed behind panting, and their legs had to keep taking steps, otherwise they would be left behind.

Luckily, they are moving in the direction of the wind, so that it is like the body is lightened and there is a feeling of lightness. Otherwise, it's really hard to move an inch.

About two hours later, a post loomed ahead. At this time, the wind is also light, and the sunset hangs down into the desert, showing the bleak scenery of the wilderness.

"Tianjizi, it looks like that post station is well preserved!" Zhang Zhenfeng took out his telescope and looked at it carefully.

The walls of the inn are made of earth. Although small holes have appeared in the wall, it seems that the overall structure is still intact and should be able to shelter from the wind and sun.

When I got closer, it was as I had seen in the telescope. The inn was the size of five houses, with holes in the roof and walls, but it was still habitable.

There are many strange symbols carved on the walls. One of the symbols that attracts Ryusedum is a scorpion. Its tail is extremely uncoordinated with its body, like a large pair of scissors, and is proportionally larger than its entire body.

Long Jingtian pointed to the scorpion carved on the wall and asked, "Tianjizi, what kind of scorpion is this?

"This is the Overlord Scorpion, which is known for its ability to violently cut through the body of its opponent with its ferocious pincers in gladiatorial combat. ”

Long Jingtian listened to Tianjizi's words, and couldn't help but feel numb, it was really terrifying!

"Let's pack up the things on the floor and spend the night here tonight. Tianjizi said and unloaded his backpack. Zhang Zhenfeng had long wanted to lie down comfortably for a while, and he threw his backpack on the ground.

Suddenly, a squeaky sound came from the ground.

Zhang Zhenfeng followed the sound and looked, oh my god! A huge poisonous scorpion was crawling towards the corner with its big pincers. It turned out that the sound of Zhang Zhenfeng throwing the backpack just now alarmed the poisonous scorpion.

"I, I don't want to live here anymore. Zhang Zhenfeng was so frightened that he grabbed Tianjizi's arm.

"Why?"

Zhang Zhenfeng pointed to the scorpions crawling into the corner, "There are poisonous scorpions everywhere here, if you are stung by their stingers, you will be able to see through it." ”

"Hehe! No wonder Long Jingtian said that you are timid, it turns out that you are really not big. Tianjizi said with a slight sneer. Long Jingtian snickered on the side, gently put down his backpack, took out the tent from it and began to prepare for camping.

Tianjizi naturally has a way to prevent poisonous scorpions. After everyone had set up their tents, he pulled out a plastic bottle from his backpack, just like the mineral water bottles we usually drink

General size. However, instead of water, it was filled with a white powder.

When I opened the cap, I immediately felt a pungent smell enter my nose. Zhang Zhenfeng sneezed uncontrollably. "What the hell is this, it's smoked to death. ”

"It's not for smoke, it's for scorpions. As he spoke, Tianjizi slowly poured out the white powder from the mouth of the bottle and drew a white circle around the tent of the people.

"Tianjizi, do you think you are the Monkey King?" Long Jingtian drilled in the tent and joked with Tianjizi with a smile.

"Our dad is more capable than Sun Wukong!" Zhang Zhenfeng is a die-hard fan of Tianjizi.

Tianjizi screwed the cap of the bottle and said unhurriedly: "Don't say it, my bottle is as magical as Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, as long as you draw this circle, don't think about any demons and monsters." ”

"Tianjizi, what is in this bottle? tell me quickly!" asked Long Jingtian coquettishly.

Tianjizi shook the bottle, "This is a mixture of mothballs and lime powder, and it must be indispensable for camping in the wild." Because of the smell of these two things, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, ants, and other animals will avoid them. ”

By this time, it was already dark, and the wind outside had stopped. The desert temperature at night is very low, a difference of dozens of degrees from the daytime. The people got into the tents, prepared to eat something, and went to sleep.

Attention everyone! The disciple suddenly stood up.

"What kind of voice are you listening to?" Zhang Zhenfeng turned over and sat up.
