Chapter 114: The Sandmen
The legendary sand people live in the Lop Nur Desert, and it is said that after eating a certain plant, they become a mysterious person who has no heartbeat, no knowledge of life, no pain, and no need to drink water.
Mo Wuwen couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he heard the word Shamin, and almost wanted to withdraw from the car, but Li Xiaomai's safety had to let him face Shamin, holding back the panic in his heart and saying to Shamin, "Return my brother." ”
The sand people who were walking slowly suddenly jumped up more than half a foot and fell into the sand, and they jumped up and prepared to jump into the car when they saw that something was wrong, but the car that turned off automatically slid forward, and the poof, and fell to the ground without hearing the sound.
He picked up the celadon pieces that had fallen to the ground and rolled them down the slope, and the rolling celadon emitted a light that shone like fireworks in the night, illuminating the desert night sky.
When Mo Wuwen rolled towards the lake, the flowing sand dunes also chased after him like waves, until Mo Wuwen stood up by the lake, and the sand people in the sand dunes also came out of the sand, and the knife in his hand was coldly shining and pointed at Mo Wuwen
Half a step back is the clear lake water, Mo Wuwen held his breath and prepared to jump into the water with the first sand people rushing over, the sand people have special energy in the desert, Mo Wuwen is not an opponent, but it is difficult to say who will kill the deer in the water.
However, the sand man with the knife stopped in front of him and stopped advancing, his stagnant eyes turned slightly, looking at the green light emitted by the celadon in Mo Wuwen's hand, and his lips moved, "Heavenly Master? ”
Since Sha Min is called the Heavenly Master, then it must be with good intentions, and Mo Wuwen thought that instead of hiding it, it would be better to take a gamble and say the purpose of this trip: "Let's find clay to recast celadon." ”
Shamin was stunned for a moment, took out a piece of bark from his pocket, threw it to Mo Wuwen, and said, "Chew it and swallow it." ”
Mo Wuwen did not hesitate to put the bark into his mouth and chewed, a cool breath entered his heart, there was no heat brought by the desert, there was no thirst anymore, his heart beat slowly and he couldn't even feel the beat, but his mind was clear.
"Follow us!" The sandman jumped down from the sand, but he didn't hear anyone dragging him by the foot, and he fell into the sand. The yellow sand overflowed his whole body, and the strange thing was that he could still breathe and the sand would not be inhaled into his nose, and his eyes could actually see through the yellow sand to see the sand people leading the way in front of him.
After a few minutes of descending, the sandmen stopped and waited for the end to be heard. I saw that the yellow sand not far away was spinning like a fan, and when he stepped in, the front suddenly opened up, and the brightly lit underground city appeared in front of him.
The sandman who led the way muttered something to the sandman who was coming towards him, and he waited in place with Mo Wuwen.
After a while, two old cars suddenly drove forward, and the two old cars stopped in front of them, and the sand man in the driver's seat waved his hand to signal them to get into the car and said, "The patriarch is invited." ”
The classic car turned around the city and drove to the front of the main hall, and at this time, the celadon in the unheard bag vibrated sharply and made a whining sound, which was not the usual humming sound.
When the door of the main hall opened, a thick cyan light surrounded Mo Wuwen, and the celadon in the bag automatically slowly soared up and fell into his hands, and also emitted a thick cyan light, and the two beams of light stepped on each other only to hear the rumbling, and at the end of the main hall, only an upside-down green phoenix appeared, and above the head of Mo Wuwen, an upside-down cyan unicorn also appeared.
After holding each other for about half a minute, there was a rumbling sound, the green mang dissipated, and the celadon piece was lying quietly in the hand of the last Wuwen.
And at the end of the main hall, the elderly sand man walked out of the old man, holding his long white beard, and said to Mo Wuwen, "A thousand years of encounter, green unicorn, green phoenix, it's not easy, I just don't know where the green bear is?" Celestial Master. ”
"The upside-down blue phoenix porcelain piece is not at the source of the Yin Yang River, how can it appear at the bottom of the desert?" The more Mo Wuwen thought about it, the more confused he became, but he saw the green phoenix with his own eyes, and there should be no fake.
"My friend, patriarch." Mo Wuwen is most concerned about Li Xiaomai's safety.
The sand chief clapped his hands, and Li Xiaomai was taken out from the back of the hall and sent to Mo Wuwen's side, and Mo Wuwen hurriedly thanked him.
"Heavenly Master, there is no need to be polite. There is a training on the ancestors, and the descendants of the heavenly master who hold celadon are our friends, and if you have anything to order, we will definitely help you. The sand chief also returned the favor.
"Let's find clay to recast celadon and destroy the demon world." When Mo Wuwen said it, he was a little lacking in confidence, and it was not easy to recast celadon, let alone destroy the demon world.
"For thousands of years, demons have always been in awe of the sand people in the desert, and we have always been in awe of the well water and not the river water. However, since the Heavenly Master begged us, we will help you find the green soil, and as for fighting the demons, I don't want our sandfolk to fall into endless killing, please forgive the Heavenly Master. ”
"Hmm." Everyone has their own ideas, and they can't be too forced to ask for others, and they can only reluctantly accept the demands of the sandmen.
"Actually, Heavenly Master, we have already helped you, the last time the desert whirlpool was because the light of celadon caught our attention, and it was we who sent you to Qingtu Mountain and sent you out of the desert." The sand chief paused and continued, "But now that the Qingtu Mountain has sunk to the bottom of the lake, how can you find the Qingtu? ”
(For the story of Qingtu Mountain, please see chapters 58 and 59)
"Our diving tools were..."Mo Wuwen was still thinking about what words to use to express it, whether to grab it or take it.
"I'll send those boxes with you to the end of the desert." The sand chief beckoned to a sand man to come to him and mutter.
The sand people came to send them out of the bottom of the desert, and Mo Wuwen accidentally found that the sand people didn't even have nails on their thumbs, and he was secretly surprised, "Tong Yunye was also missing nails when he died, could he also be a sand people?" ”
When the classic car arrived in front of the fan door, the yellow sand still rotated. Mo Wuwen pretended not to know, and asked casually, "Will it hurt if the whole piece of the nail falls off?" ”
Shamin solemnly said to him: "We Shamin only have nine nails, according to the legend left by the ancestors, when Nuwa Niangniang pinched the clay figures, she pinched us less nails, in order to compensate for our losses, we were specially given the special ability to survive in the desert. ”
"Then what would happen if a normal person pulled out his nails." Mo Wuwen tentatively asked what the relationship between Sha Min and Tong Yunye, Tong Yunye's nails fell the day after tomorrow and the pheasant swallowed him, then he was definitely not Sha Min.
"The effect is obvious, it hurts!" The unsmiling expressions of the sandfolks made Mo Wuwen wonder if the sandfolks would laugh at all.
"The desert is so big, has anyone been lost during this time?" At the end of the day, he still turned around to listen to Tong Yunye's news.
"No one gets lost in the desert one day." As soon as Sha Min finished speaking, he took out the bark from his pocket and motioned for them to chew quickly, and then stepped into the fan that swirled in the yellow sand.
It was dark at night, and they could clearly see everything in front of them as they walked in the sand, and after a while, they came out near the car.
"They're back!" Li Xiaohe shouted in the car but did not dare to get out of the car to greet him, because he saw that at the same time as they came out, sand people also emerged from the sand, carrying their suitcases with diving equipment.
Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai loaded the equipment into the rear compartment, and after getting into the car, the car was running in the desert, but no matter how much they increased their horsepower, they always found the sand people in front of them, and the sand people walking under the sand were actually moving faster than the car.
The sandmen led the way to the depths of the desert, and the sandmen pointed to the front shrouded in thick fog and said to Mo Wuwen, "Heavenly Master, from this thick fog is the lake that has sunk the Qingtu Mountain, and when you come back, remember to return from the thick fog." ”
The car suddenly drove into the thick fog, and suddenly the car seemed to be squeezed by the thick fog and pushed forward like a bullet. The pop sound seemed to break through the veil, and the car was already on the edge of the lake with very low visibility.
They got out of the car and found that there was no moonlight in the sky, and they could hear the murmuring of the water nearby in the dark night. When they looked back at the desert, the fog disappeared in an instant, leaving only the darkness of the night.
The night was too dark, and they decided to wait until dawn in the car, and Li Xiaohe asked them curiously, "What does the city look like under the sand?" ”
"Maybe it's the ancient country of Loulan or something, the city is full of ancient buildings, there's nothing strange about it." Li Xiaomai didn't think there was anything particularly strange about the city under the sand.
"The only strange thing is that the sandmen are all nine-nails." Mo Wuwen leaned back in his seat and said to them.
"There's something going on outside." Li Rongfu interrupted their conversation, and everyone stopped talking and pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on outside. Indeed, there was a rustling sound coming from outside the car.
"Turn on your headlights." When He Tiankun said to Li Rongho, he also took out a flashlight from his bag and shone it out of the car window, there was nothing.
Lee Young-ho moved the car carefully, and the headlights shone all the way and didn't find anything, but when they turned off the lights, the sound of rustling sounded again.
"The sound came from the roof of the car..."Li Xiao and said to everyone with a shudder.
Everyone held their breath, and there was no longer a rustling sound on the roof of the car, but it seemed that someone was walking! Mo Wuwen hurriedly took out the celadon piece from the bag and held it in his hand, the celadon exuded a faint green glow in the dark.
With the faint light, Lee Young-ho held the steering wheel and looked at Mo Wuwen, and said with his lips: "Start the car and rush?" ”
Mo Wuwen nodded in agreement, Li Rongho comprehended, suddenly started the car and rushed forward and stopped and braked, only to hear the sound of bang, something falling from the roof of the car. Lee Young-ho turned on the headlights and shone in front of him, only to see a black shadow on the ground get up and immediately pounce on the windshield of the car.
I saw a swollen face, slightly rotten, hideous face staring at them through the car glass, a mouth with a mouth and a puffing cry, and a hand with a missing nail on the thumb of his right hand smashing the windshield desperately.
The panicked everyone hurriedly looked for something to defend themselves, but the panicked Mo Wuwen suddenly pointed to the windshield and screamed, "He's Tong Yunye!" ”
