Chapter 44: The Sands of Ganlin

Shenzhou is a typical basin terrain surrounded by mountains and low terrain in the middle, but under the influence of the sinking wind from above, this basin still has a lot of precipitation, but the miraculous thing is that there is no drought or flood here. It stands to reason that this kind of precipitation in the basin should be prone to waterlogging, which also seems to go against common sense, but the amount of precipitation in the past hundred years has been greatly reduced.

The main reason is the terrain, the water vapor brought by the sinking wind has been decreasing in the past hundred years, and one day it will be completely gone, and it is impossible to say what Shenzhou will become at that time.

Inside the basin, Shenzhou is surrounded by lush forests, of course, there are cities interspersed with them, but there is a small area of desert in the center. This made Jiu Wentian feel a dilemma in his heart, and this kind of strange terrain had never appeared in his knowledge.

Does this feel like an hourglass? or something else, I can't tell for a long time. We all know that the foundation of an island is built on a huge "foundation", like the tip of an iceberg, which requires a lot of buoyancy to bear a huge weight. Some of the land is more like a mountain jutting out of the sea, like a large amount of sea water that cannot completely submerge a certain peak, and the exposed piece is the land we see now.

Geography is a very magical subject, it does not look at what you know, it will bring you surprises, with your limited knowledge to explain the infinite nature, this is the pursuit of geography. Jiu Wentian thought to himself, if it weren't for his family background, he would still want to be a geologist.

It was already evening, and the fire clouds in the sky seemed to Jiu Wentian to be a sign of good weather, but Nian Siqi glanced at it and said, "Wentian, something may happen tonight, let's continue to hurry, and we won't rest." ”

Jiu Wentian poked his head out of the carriage and saw the endless sand in the distance, and asked with some puzzlement: "Do you see that is the desert in front of you, why did you come here?"

Nian Siqi said indifferently: "It is the desert, the most peculiar place in Shenzhou, the sand of Ganlin." ”

"The Sands of Ganlin? is a bit of an interesting name, where is his peculiarity?"

Nian Siqi still looked ahead, but his tone became brisk, and said: "The so-called Ganlin, what the deceased wanted, has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Ganlin is a treasure, and it is also something that can emit evil thoughts, and there may be clues to dictatorship here, so pass by here to take a look. ”

Jiu Wentian thought for a moment, and then asked: "What is the relationship between this Ganlin and the sand, why is Ganlin here?"

"Ganlin is just something that was born in the sand of Ganlin, so it is named after the sand of Ganlin. Nian Siqi continued: "The sand of Ganlin is actually a small grain of sand that fell from the empty sea, and it fell here after a series of tosses. It has filtered hundreds of years of stagnant water, so there are a lot of impurities in the sand, among which there is a white crystal like amber, and that is Ganlin. ”

Jiu Wentian straightened out these words, that is, the sea they passed through when they came here, and the sand particles that fell from it were piled up here, and a lot of sewage was filtered, so the impurities of those sewage would be treasured. However, Jiu Wentian asked again: "Then why don't you say it in advance?"

"It's hard to explain, I wasn't going to take this path, it's very dangerous. I've been here many times, and not only are there a lot of robbers, but there are also some strange creatures. Nian Si Tong did not change his face, still looking ahead.

"Then what's the use of you saying this! Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, do you prefer to go to the tiger mountains?!" Jiu Wentian was a little crazy, he didn't expect this person to choose this kind of road, and he knew that he should let himself be a horseman.

Nian Siqi didn't pay much attention to Jiu Wentian's reaction, but said to himself, "First, because the people in the desert will never be able to get out, so it will be okay for me to turn into a dragon and fly you over, and second, because our identity has been exposed, and the garrison of Shenzhou is chasing us, if we enter the city, it will be even more difficult to get out." ”

Jiu Wentian stuck his head out of the window and looked back, and sure enough, there was a figure of a horseback rider looming behind the carriage. Jiu Wentian thought to himself, how could it be so fast? Could it be that he made too much trouble? No, or maybe the garrison in the old city had already returned? But there was no time to think about it, things had developed to this point, and he couldn't stop until he found a dictatorship.

"Hey!" Jiu Wentian poked his head out of the carriage and said to Nian Siqi, who was driving the carriage, "How are we going to get rid of those guards behind?"

Nian Siqi ignored Jiu Wentian's words, but jerked the reins when the carriage was about to approach the desert, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jiu Wentian would never have believed that this little child actually had so much strength. Nian Siqi directly lifted the horse's front feet, causing the whole carriage to warp.

Jiu Wentian pulled the door frame of the carriage so that he was not thrown behind, but Jiang Qiufang was not so lucky, it happened suddenly, and Jiu Wentian didn't expect this at all. As a result, Jiang Qiufang was unprotected, and directly hit the wooden board, and then let out an extremely painful scream.

Jiu Wentian, who just wanted to scold the street, saw Nian Siqi's solemn expression, and instantly became nervous, feeling that Nian Siqi didn't feel like he was joking. In Nian Siqi's eyes, if he didn't rein in the horse, the speed just now should have directly reached the attack point of that monster. And in Jiu Wentian's eyes, a whirlpool appeared directly from the ground one meter away from them.

After a long time, he made his mouth grow bigger, and when the horse's front hooves landed, a huge tentacle stretched out from the swirling place!

"This, what is this?!" Jiu Wentian was stunned and exclaimed.

"Ride!" Nian Siqi flicked the whip in his hand, and the horse continued to run, bypassing the whirlpool and entering the desert. Nian Siqi said solemnly: "This is the 'Buddha's hand' in the sand of Ganlin, they grow in the sand, and whenever a creature passes by, they will start hunting, just like just now. ”

Jiu Wentian thought about the tentacle just now and asked, "Are you sure it's not a giant octopus?"

At this time, Jiang Qiufang walked out holding his head, and as soon as he came out, he slapped Nian Siqi on the shoulder, and said angrily: "I can't sleep well!

"You find a place to fix it first, there should be more powerful things to come. Jiu Wentian motioned to Jiang Qiufang to grab the door frame first, like he was now.

"It's not an octopus, the sand here is the same as the ocean, and the creatures in it are very complex. For example, the Buddha's hand just now, it was just a tree, but it became active in the sand, but it was still the instinctive reaction of the plant. ”
