Chapter 122: Flowing Sand
Nie Xinyuan asked, "What about Cai'er?" You can release it and help us find our way. ”
The colorful sparrow listened to Ai Xiaoyu's words, shook his head vigorously, how did he not want to come out of the ring space, it was not afraid of anything, the most afraid was the desert wind, it was blown lost before, to a deserted place, there was no food, no drink, fortunately it had a lot of reserves, otherwise, it would starve to death and die of thirst.
Even so, when it found the right way, it was so hungry that it was only skinny and bone-lining, and its beautiful multicolored feathers were even more lost, and it was laughed at by some low-level high-level animals and plants so that it did not dare to go out for decades.
"Brother Xinyuan, Cai'er doesn't want to come out at all, there is no way, it seems that we can only rely on ourselves. Little Phantom might come back to us in a moment. ”
At this time, they can only think like this.
"Xinyuan, don't worry about driving, wherever you drive, anyway, we are all together, we can always think of a way."
The advanced level of Ai Dad's exercises was when he was full of spirit, and he didn't pay attention to the sandstorm outside that looked like a tornado. As long as there is a daughter and there is a ring space, they don't have to worry about accidents at all, and when the time comes, they will run inside and hide, and nothing will happen.
The jeep was speeding in the water dancing sand in no direction, the wind and sand in the sky, the lake water, drifting away with the wind, the aura in the air was chaotic and mottled.
At this time, none of their cultivators could discern the direction and safety according to the aura, so they had to resign themselves to fate.
After the strong wind passed, Nie Xinyuan stopped the car, not because he didn't want to drive, but because his hands were stiff and numb. The most important thing is that there is no gas.
"Let's hurry up and refuel, lest there be another accident in a while, and the car can't drive away if you want to."
Dad helped bring out a jug of gasoline from the back box, and quickly filled up the car.
"The wind has finally stopped, and you can look outside, there are trees everywhere. Wow, there's another place of animals, quick, Ah Jun, let's go pick them up, so we can be game again. ”
Bai Shibing was not frightened by the strong wind just now, but was pleasantly surprised by the game in this place.
And his elder brother Bai Shijun also saw the spectacular scenery of this place along his younger brother's line of sight, and sighed: "This is really game delivered to the door by itself." It didn't take much effort to get it! ”
The two brothers picked and picked up, got a chicken, a wild deer came back, the chicken can be stewed in chicken soup, and the wild deer can be roasted, but stir-fried are good choices.
"Looks like the kids are hungry, Wanlin, let's go find a water source now. Let's cook and eat, the world is the biggest. Who knows if something will appear again in a while? ”
Ai's mother looked at the Bai family brothers looking at her with blank eyes, and she knew what they were thinking.
"Okay, but it's hard to find water, I find that we seem to have entered a desert, and the road ahead is really difficult. Water sources and the like are hard to come by. ”
Ai Dad used his divine sense to explore for a long time, but he didn't find a water source. I said regretfully.
"What can I do then? We're not going to eat dry food again, are we? ”
Bai Shibing, who has always been very particular about eating, was the first to be reluctant, and it was okay to eat jerky meat, meatloaf, naan and the like occasionally as snacks, and eat them as a meal. How uncomfortable it is to eat.
Their stomachs have been nourished by Ai's mother, and their favorite food for the main meal is a hot meal.
However, now there is no water source, and there is no opportunity for people to choose, so the aggrieved people ate dry food in the kettle, and everyone continued to set off.
Now that the wind had stopped, the compass had returned to normal, and according to its instructions, and looking at the map, several people found that the route they were traveling was in the direction of Hotan, but Hotan was only 108,000 miles.
And this may be the ancient Loulan country, but the once mirage-like Loulan has long disappeared from people's sight for various reasons, and only this endless desert is left.
"Dad, stop the car, I always feel like something is going to happen! Think about it, what are the most likely accidents to happen in this desert? ”
Ai Xiaoyu's heart beat violently, as if she was walking on a cross, swaying, and her heart and liver trembled.
"Little Peach, the most common accident in the desert is sandstorms, tornadoes, and the world is turned upside down."
The more Nie Xinyuan thought about it, the more he felt the same feeling, and there was really something going to happen.
When everyone was still imagining the accident, the sky, which had only been clear for a long time, became black and oppressive, as if it was about to be pressed down.
"Look, look, the sand is moving, the sand is moving, it's like water, it's, it's amazing!"
Bai Shibing had never seen him see such a spectacle, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he had not yet realized that danger was approaching them step by step.
"This, this, what are we going to do?"
Ai's mother also sensed that danger was coming.
"Little Peach Blossom, why hasn't your family's Nine Heavens Phantom Phoenix come back yet? We're not going to be overwhelmed by this desert, are we? ”
After listening to Nie Xinyuan's words, Ai Dad was very worried that everyone would be separated, so he hurriedly proposed: "Quick, take out the thick rope we prepared, and we will tie each other together, so as not to get separated for a while!" ”
Ai Dad's worries were right, the formation performed by the Nine Heavens Phantom Phoenix on this jeep had dissipated over time. In the event of strong winds and waves, the car will definitely be blown apart.
"Otherwise, let's get out of the car, let's let the colorful sparrow put the car away, so as not to be swallowed by the wind and sand for a while, but how can we return it?"
Ai's mother's proposal, Ai's father agreed, anyway, he had to face the danger himself, and it made no difference whether he was in the car or outside the car.
When the jeep disappeared in front of everyone, Bai Shibing said very suggestively: "Second aunt, this Cai'er can make a big thing like a car disappear, why don't you let it hide us?" ”
Facing this second-hand nephew, Ai's mother touched his head helplessly and said, "Ah Bing, you are all military families, you don't want to hide if you don't encounter problems, right?" That's not good, we have to learn to move forward! ”
"The second aunt is right, Ah Bing, don't be so greedy and afraid of death!" Bai Shijun raised his hands in favor of Ai's mother's words.
"Yes, yes, we kill gods when we meet gods, and kill Buddhas when we meet Buddhas!"
Nie Xinyuan's bold words did not mention everyone's morale, but because of his words, a burst of thunder in the sky slashed down, right in the middle of the dead tree next to Nie Xinyuan, which was about to die, "Bang la la", the thunder fire ignited the dead tree, and in an instant, the dead tree turned into ashes, and a gust of wind came and blew away.
"You kid, did you say the wrong thing? Are you scared? In the future, we can't talk nonsense, we are cultivators, everything must follow the way of heaven, and the gods and Buddhas can't be despised casually! You should respect them from the heart! ”
Ai Ma pulled Nie Xinyuan and looked up and down, but found no traces of burns, and the scars did not exist, so she was relieved and comforted carefully.
The flowing sand, with six people standing as the central axis, came from all sides and directly opposite everyone, and they could not escape, they could only tie everyone to a rope while standing in a circle hand in hand, waiting for danger to come.
Ai Xiaoyu actually wanted to put everyone in the ring space several times, but the thunder just now scared her, it seems that the way of heaven really exists, the way of heaven pays attention to fairness and balance, she can't knowingly commit it, this time the danger is everyone's crisis, it should be met below, and the nature of the cultivator is revealed.
Nearer, closer, the flowing sand nearer, but, as soon as they reached their feet, they stopped, as if they were performing some ritual, and the sand circled around them.
The faster and faster it turned, the wind and sand sprinkled all over the clothes, and everyone's eyes had to be closed after the worst, otherwise, they would have to eat the sand with their eyes.
After Ai Xiaoyu closed her eyes, she found that she had seen a scroll of pictures: the vast smoke of Lop Nur, surrounded by clear rivers, men and women in colorful clothes, boating and fishing on the blue waves, hunting in the dense poplar forest, wooden houses in the city, poplar pillars, doors and windows, and merchants coming and going, prosperous and prosperous.
Then the beauty of this place gradually faded, the water of Lop Nur gradually dried up, the rivers and streams disappeared all at once, a team of soldiers dug wells everywhere to find water, but a drop in the bucket, people changed from rich folk customs to ragged clothes, people eat people is a common thing, even so, the people here are still more and more water, one day, the last drop of water between heaven and earth disappeared, a gust of wind swept the sandstorm, flooded the place.
All that remains is this continuous desert, as if the once glorious ancient kingdom of Loulan never existed.
When everyone opened their eyes again, it was dark all around, Ai Xiaoyu pulled the rope that still existed, and someone asked, "Mom, Dad, brother, are you there?" ”
"In, in, in......"
The next five voices show that everyone is not separated, they are still together, and they are all at ease.
"Where is this? It's so dark, huh? I thought we were going to die!"
After Bai Shibing's words were finished, there seemed to be some uncertainty at the end of his words, not sure if they were still alive.
"I saw Gu Loulan just now, have you seen it?"
Ai Xiaoyu wants to know if everyone has the same experience as her.
In the gossip discussion, everyone confirmed that the scenery everyone saw was the same, and after seeing the changes in Loulan, everyone sighed again and again.
"This time, we have successfully returned to Jiangjin, it seems that we have to make persistent efforts, continue to work hard to make money, improve the natural environment of the earth, and in the future, we will work hard to plant more trees in the frontier, so that desertification will improve!! I don't want to find out on the news one day that such and such a place has been flooded by desert, and after experiencing it once, the memory is too deep. ”
Ai Ma's great ideals have been unanimously affirmed and supported by everyone. (To be continued......)
