Chapter 318: Desert Travel 2
The two stout flower python corpses began to burn automatically under the blow of the fiery palm force of the Sun Heart Sutra and the Flame Palm.
It was already twelve o'clock at noon, and the footsteps of the giant tortoise were becoming more and more indistinct, and the breeze blowing along the valley was fragrant and pleasant.
The continuous rise in temperature, coupled with the medicinal effect of python gallbladder, made the four sisters and brothers feel a burst of internal heat.
"It's too hot, let's find a shady place to rest!" Shui Jingxin shouted.
"Look at your little face, it's red, like a ripe apple!" Kefier pointed at her and smiled.
"Sister, you are the same." Shui Jingxin spoke, looked at the faces of the two senior brothers, and exclaimed, "Hehe, this is obviously a python guts, look at the faces of the two of you, it also looks like ripe apples?" ”
The two brothers glanced at each other, and Jiang Yangqi said: "The python is a cold-blooded animal, the snake gall nourishes the yin and moistens the lungs, and it is a cool tonic, how can it be hot?" ”
Ou Zhou looked at everyone's faces one by one, and suggested: "Why don't we go to the big tree, rest in the shade, and meditate at the same time, and suppress this heat." ”
So everyone went over and sat cross-legged under the big tree, and each of them ran the Sun Heart Sutra and the Flame Palm in their bodies for three great weeks.
Half an hour later, I felt that the heat in my body was significantly lighter, and the aura that filled the dantian seemed to have changed gratifying compared to before.
That breath wandered in the limbs, like a trickle, bubbling and moving, as if it contained endless energy.
Gradually, Ou Zhou and Ke Fei'er's bodies were filled with a blue and purple aura, and under the backdrop of that aura, their bodies slowly detached from the ground and gradually rose to a height of one meter.
Next, a blue-purple aura also appeared on the periphery of Shui Jingxin and Jiang Yang's bodies, and that aura wrapped around their bodies and slowly rose into the air.
At this moment, the four siblings are like being wrapped in four colorful balloons, like a dream, if there is nothing, if there is nothing, if it is false.
Suddenly, as if their hearts were connected, the four sisters and brothers let out a long roar, each with a palm, and at the same time hit a boulder the size of a house fifty meters away, and the blue-purple cyclone with the size of the four millstones merged into one, turning into a cyclone with a diameter of more than fifty meters, tumbling and rolling with a loud bang, and when I looked at it again, the boulder had been beaten into powder.
After the four sisters and brothers landed, they couldn't help but feel excited and interesting.
"I really can't imagine that this time I entered Longtan Gorge, and I had such an opportunity." Ou Zhou couldn't help but rejoice.
"We came in three times, and each time it was different. How many unknown secrets are there in this Longtan Gorge? "Jiangyang Daqi.
"I really don't understand, where did the flower python come from, why did the first two times it came in, but only met a couple?" The water meditation was puzzled.
"Or maybe there's a cave in this valley?" Koffiel guessed.
Shui Jingxin said: "If there is no other cave, there should be other animals inside, why did you only see two pairs of giant pythons?" ”
Ke Fei'er said: "Perhaps, there is a big family of pythons in this valley!" ”
Shui Jingxin wondered: "But tens of thousands of years have passed, why did these giant pythons choose this time to be the enemy of the 10,000-year-old turtle, what is their purpose, is it to kill the giant turtle?" ”
Koffiel spread his arms: "This is indeed a puzzling question. With the size of the giant tortoise, even if the two giant pythons were able to kill the giant tortoise, they would not be able to devour the flesh of the giant tortoise? ”
Shui Jing used his imagination: "Could it be that the giant python has other plans, for example, coveting the cave of the giant tortoise, and for example, there is a lack of food in this season, they can kill the giant tortoise and enjoy it slowly?" ”
Ke Feier retorted: "This statement is not true, these two giant beasts have been safe and sound for many years, why is there a conflict now, there must be something strange in this?" ”
"There must be a demon when things go wrong, but what will this demon be?"
"After the giant tortoise escaped death, it hurried away, could it be that there is something more worthy of its concern?"
"Yes, we should quietly follow and see, and another pair of anacondas?"
The four siblings agreed, so they quietly followed in the direction where the giant turtle had passed.
"Senior brother, I still can't figure it out, the giant tortoise is so big, how can the giant python get wrapped around the giant tortoise's neck all at once?"
"Yes, the height of the giant tortoise's neck is at least three meters above the ground, and the giant python can only succeed unless it is ambushed early and the giant tortoise suddenly attacks when it arrives. But there's no suitable place for an ambush in this area, right? ”
"It's just puzzling."
The path of the giant tortoise crawling is very distinct, and the deep footprints are evenly arranged on the soft humus, and those who do not know will think that it is a ghost when they see such a scene.
After walking for a few minutes, the four siblings came to a hillside, where the footprints became indistinct.
Looking up, there was a huge cave in the mountain, the same cave they had seen for the first time a few years ago, where the giant tortoise was hiding.
"Now that the giant tortoise is in the hole, there shouldn't be any other problems." Ou Zhou said.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Shui Jingxin asked.
Jiang Yang continued: "If there is something, there will be movement, and now that it is quiet, there should be no problem." ”
"And what if there are two more pythons?"
"Haha, senior sister, is it possible that you want to live here and be a bodyguard for the giant tortoise?"
"That is, it is also a great fate to be able to save the giant tortoise once today. And we've benefited a lot from it. In a way, we should be grateful to the giant tortoise, if it hadn't been attacked by the python, how could we have had a windfall! Jiangyang Road.
"Since the first time we entered this valley, we have formed an indissoluble bond with giant tortoises. It's as if it's all a certainty. Kefier said.
"In that case, the giant tortoise doesn't want to be disturbed, so we might as well go back!" Ou Zhou proposed again.
The four sisters and brothers then turned around and walked towards Longtan. When he arrived at the protruding part of the body where the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was buried, Ou Zhou took a closer look at the humus around him.
Luckily, the annual large amount of fallen leaves and rain wash down the soil from the mountain, and the area is tightly covered.
The four sisters and brothers went down to Longtan, probably because they took python gall again, and dived into the cold Longtan again, but they didn't feel a trace of coolness. Not only that, but the speed of the dive was so fast that it took more than a minute less than when I came in!
Coming up from that secluded place, wiping off the water on my head, opening the waterproof bag and changing into a new set of clean clothes, I turned around and headed for the parking lot.
It's half past one o'clock at noon, and most of the tourists go to eat and rest. Therefore, there are still not many people in front of Longtan.
After eating in the scenic spot, the four sisters and brothers drove back to the city, and it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Back at home, Shui Jingxin posted a recruitment information on the education website: there are four school-age children, and two young teachers are recruited from the society. Requirements: Good at two to three subjects of Chinese, mathematics, English, art and music in grades 1 to 6 of primary school, responsible for the teaching of four children from grades 1 to 6.

The annual salary is tentatively set at 200,000 yuan, with five insurances and one housing fund, including board and lodging. Teaching location, on the Magic City Mountain Manor or on a cruise ship.
Contact, Ms. Water, Phone***
In the evening, when the four sisters and brothers had dinner together, they agreed to take a flight to Jiayuguan tomorrow morning, and rent a car from the local area to go to the desert seepage lake to worship the old man.
Then I went through the procedure to book a ticket.
Before the meal was finished, Shui Jingxin's mobile phone rang one after another.
When she picked it up, it was actually an inquiry call from a candidate. The other party asked some common sense questions, such as five insurances and one housing fund, how salaries are paid, how teaching can be on a cruise ship, and so on.
Shui Jingxin answered one by one.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, another one called. In short, after arriving at this meal, five or six phone calls have been answered.
"It's okay, I didn't expect job seekers to be so enthusiastic." Shui Jingxin smiled.
"It should be noted on the recruitment information: all interested parties can answer the questions raised in a certain month, a certain day, a certain place, and accept an on-site interview. Sorry, we will not be able to ask questions during the rest of the time. "Koffiel has an idea.
"Okay, I'll add this right away."
Shui Jingxin did what she said, and immediately attached that sentence to the back of the recruitment posting.
That night, the two brothers had a strange dream at the same time: the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit came to thank them for helping the 10,000-year-old giant tortoise in Longtan Gorge survive the last catastrophe and was about to become an immortal.
When they got up the next morning and washed up and had breakfast together, the two brothers told Shui Jingxin and Ke Fei'er about the dream.
The four sisters and brothers suddenly realized. It turns out that those who cultivate immortals will encounter a catastrophe every five hundred years, and if they can hide, they will continue to cultivate immortals, but if they can't hide, they will have no chance with immortals.
The two flower pythons in Longtan Gorge besieged the 10,000-year-old spirit turtle, and it turned out to be because of the catastrophe. After understanding this situation, the four sisters and brothers were immediately relieved.
After the meal, the door was locked, the two men pulled a small suitcase, and the two ladies carried their bags, went out to take a taxi to Bao'an Airport.
The flight departs at 9:35 a.m., transfers at Lanzhou Airport, and arrives at Jiayuguan Airport at 3:50 p.m.
For a journey of 3,000 kilometers, if you drive on the highway, it will only take you 30 hours to reach the destination, but if you stop in between, it will take longer.
The last time the four siblings went was in winter, and after Meimei tasted a fresh meal, she was almost not scared by the sand devil on the way back.
It's spring this time, so I wonder what will happen again?
Although the arrival time was in the middle of the afternoon, Jiayuguan in late April was still cold in spring.
From the warm and humid sea to the edge of the dry and rugged desert in half a day, it is very emotional.
After staying in the hotel they booked, the four siblings went out to find a car dealership and rented a new Buick business car.
I walked around the attractions around the city, and it was evening. After dinner at the hotel, I returned to my room and spent until 10 o'clock.
The weather looked fine the next morning, and after a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we got out and drove off. Jiayuguan to the desert seepage lake more than 500 kilometers of road, along the wine highway all the way to the north, in a town called Saihan Taolai drive down not far, drive on a township road, go forward for a while, the head of the car turns, into the desert.
On the map, the desert seepage lake is not very far from the border, and the surrounding 200 kilometers are almost uninhabited.
When the old man was injured and fled to another country, where he went unexpectedly, if it were not for the nourishment of the white fish in the lake, he would have died.
Later, Ke Feier was rescued by the old man, lived in the desert seepage lake for ten years, and learned a martial arts, all thanks to the white fish in the seepage lake.
Despite the fact that a few years have passed, with her strong memory and familiarity with the place as a child, she still finds the lake an hour later.
Under the blue sky and sun, the lake was rippling, and the four sisters and brothers got out of the car, and the first action was to go to the lake to see the white fish.
The fat white fish are clearly visible in the blue water, and they are not afraid at all when they see people.
When they remembered the delicious taste, the four siblings couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Then I quickly went to the underground shack to look at the pots and pans. It's still the same as when I went that year, and it hasn't changed at all.
"You two light a fire, wash pots and dishes, and Sister Fei'er and I catch fish and choke vegetables." Shui Jingxin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and commanded.
Then he hurriedly took the net, pulled Kefeier and went to the lake to fish.
Ke Feier smiled: "Look at your gluttony, have you forgotten what you came here for?" ”
Shui Jing had an epiphany, patted his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, when I saw the white fish, I forgot about it." ”
Ke Fei'er Shui meditated in front, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang followed, and they arrived at the tomb of the old man.
Because of the strong blowing of the desert wind and sand, the grave is almost flat. There were shovels in the shack that year, and the four sisters and brothers divided the grave by two, and repaired the grave.
Ke Fei'er placed the offerings he had brought on the ground, lit three sticks of incense, and the four siblings bowed three times to the grave, and then planted the incense in front of the grave.
After doing this, I went to collect firewood, light the fire, wash the pots and dishes, and catch fish and pinch vegetables.
Shui Jingxin carried the net, and Ke Feier took a large clay basin, washed it in the lake, and then filled half a basin of water, ready to wash the fish.
