In Lin Yan

Under the "tanuki for the prince", he successfully led some of his pursuers in the wrong direction, and he himself took the opportunity to get out.

The south can't go for the time being, and the road back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty must be full of enemies, Lin Yan only has one choice left, that is, to go to the Western Wilderness.

Therefore, Lin Yan, disguised as a beggar, went all the way. The sand boat is not easy for him to get for the time being, and the movement caused by snatching this tool is too big to be easily discovered, so his previous strategy will be in vain.

However, Lin Yan also had a way, after all, his tricks were not learned in vain, so he quickly took materials and made two small skateboards out of some dead wood, which were tied to his feet to facilitate driving on the sand.

This simple tool does not require too much energy, as long as you master the technique and keep your balance by swinging your body slightly from side to side, you can use inertia to keep moving forward and achieve a good speed with a small amount of energy.

Lin Yan named this tool

The "sled", in fact, could have made a much faster tool if it weren't for the conditions. If the current volume is more than doubled, supplemented by two support rods, then even ordinary people can achieve high speeds.

Or rather, just make one

"Sand Car" and then use other desert creatures to pull the cart. For example, the sandworms I encountered before are very good, with large size, fast speed, and strong endurance.

Of course, if it can be tamed! However, now that time is limited, it is impossible for Lin Yan to quickly find a desert creature that meets this condition and tame it to pull the cart, so he can only settle first.

Moreover, if he really used a sandworm to pull the cart, the scene was too shocking, and it didn't fit the atmosphere of his current escape at all.

It is said that a beggar is not begging in the city, slippery and weird

It's also strange for the "sled" to travel alone in the desert, but it's just that there is no one along the way, and no one sees it!

On the other side, in addition to Shouyi, several teams of pursuers were led in the wrong direction one after another, after all, the monk left by Shouyi was still very conscientious, of course, for his own interests.

Fortunately, Shouyi and the others returned early, otherwise, everyone would probably leave with confidence, but they returned full of disappointment!

When Wu Cai and the others got the news, they naturally came quickly by sand boat, but when they arrived, they were tricked by Lin Yan, so they were angry at the moment.

Of course, the disciples of the Buddha Sect are not his subordinates, and it is impossible for him to be angry at these people at will, so he can only sulk.

However, Shouichi didn't intend to let go of the guy who brought back the fake news, and with a wave of his arm, the monk was taken down.

His miserable howl was to no avail, and now the bamboo basket is empty, and the reward he should have received is gone, and it is a matter of whether he can stay or not.

From this point of view, the warrior monk escaped by mistake!

"What now?" The monk next to him asked.

"Since he didn't go to Nanban, it is very likely that this Lin Yan will go directly to Dongtang, after all, it is his lair." Keep one.

"No, this kid is cunning, and it is impossible for him to be naïve enough to think that a beggar can hold us back for long. And this time was simply not enough for him to escape from the Northern Desert and return to the Eastern Tang Dynasty. So, I guess he went west! A questioning voice came, it was the old Taoist Wu Cai.

"Western Wilderness? But as far as we know, he has never been to the Western Wilderness, and even if he escapes, he should go back to the familiar Eastern Tang Dynasty. Shouyi said in doubt.

In fact, he is right, when people encounter danger, they will always instinctively flee back to a familiar place, which is a protection mechanism.

After all, there will always be a sense of peace of mind in a familiar place, and when you go to an unfamiliar place when you run for your life, the level of danger you encounter will skyrocket.

"Under normal circumstances, you would be right. But don't forget, Lin Yan's situation is different now. Let's rule out the north and the south for the time being, although the Eastern Tang is the best place to go, it is also the most dangerous place, after all, most people will think that he will do it. Wu Cai said slowly.

"So, he did the opposite?" Shouichi asked.

"Exactly!" Wu Cai nodded, and then continued:

"So he didn't want to go to the Western Wilderness, but he had to choose the Western Wilderness under such circumstances!" Shouyi thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Wu Cai said was reasonable, so he ordered the remaining disciples to follow him to the west to pursue.

It's just that although Wu Cai's inference is very convincing, he doesn't dare to guarantee that it will be true, so he plans to take someone to pursue it himself.

As for others, he who believes is with him, and he does not force him to believe not. After all, he is different from the previous monk who was eager for quick success, if the inference is not accurate, if he leads the disciple in the wrong direction for his own reasons, and lets Lin Yan escape, then the sin will be great!

So, he didn't say much, just did it himself. Don't ask for merit, but just ask for no fault!

Wu Cai and Shouyi pursued the group westward, and some of the remaining teams chose to follow, while others went in other directions, after all, everyone had their own judgment, and Shouyi's position had no right to order them.

And Lin Yan walked all the way, after a long time, hungry and thirsty, suddenly found that there was a family in front of him, hesitated, or decided to go first to beg for saliva to drink.

This family's house is more like a small dirt bag than a house. From the outside, it is made of dead branches and worn tarpaulin, and from a distance, it looks like a steamed bun upside down on the sand.

There is a wall made of sand on the outside of the house, presumably to protect against wind and sand, but if you look like that, if you really encounter a sandstorm, it should not be very useful.

Lin Yan walked in and asked inside:

"Excuse me, anyone?" There was silence in the house for a moment, and then an old man slowly came out of it, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, tattered, with patches on it, and even holes in many places.

The old man looked at Lin Yan, tightened the steel fork in his hand, and said vigilantly:

"What do you do?" Lin Yan said:

"Uncle, I'm fleeing the famine, passing by here, I'm really thirsty, I want to beg for water to drink, don't you know how convenient?" Hearing this, the old man looked at Lin Yan carefully, looked at his beggar clothes, and believed it in his heart, and the steel fork in his hand gradually relaxed.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Lin Yan:

"Wait a minute." As he spoke, the old man turned and went into the house, and after a while, he came out with a clay bowl in his hand.

The bowl looked very rough, and even lacked a mouth, and the water in it was not so clear, and it looked cloudy.

However, in this desert, water is extremely precious, and the living conditions of this old man are not good, but he is willing to give a bowl of water to strangers, which is very good!

Lin Yan thanked him, then lifted the mud bowl, did not dislike it at all, and drank all the water in the bowl, he was really thirsty!

After drinking the water, Lin Yan exhaled with satisfaction, but at this time, his stomach screamed uncontrollably.

It's been a long time since he left town, and the constant rush has brought with it a drastic drain on his physical strength.

The vitality can be restored, but the physical strength cannot, after all, people are not immortals, and it is impossible to go without eating or drinking all the time.

The old man naturally saw Lin Yan's embarrassment, sighed, took the mud bowl in Lin Yan's hand, turned around and entered the house again, and after a while, he walked out with a small half bowl of food.

Different from before, in addition to the old man, there is also a little girl, timid, although the clothes are shabby, but a pair of big eyes flickering, extremely spiritual!

The clay bowl was not filled with common rice noodles, but a kind of food that Lin Yan had never seen before, and he asked suspiciously:

"Uncle, this is ......" The old man smiled and said:

"Haven't seen it, have you? This is a food endemic to the desert called 'sami', which is the seed of sapon, and we eat it every day. Then the old man looked gloomy and said:

"It's just that there's not much left, please don't mind!" Lin Yan waved his hand and said:

"What did my husband say, you are already very satisfied that you can give me food, where do you dare to be greedy!" He took the mud bowl and immediately devoured it, although the taste was not good, he was also very hungry, and he ate a few bites, licked his lips, and was still a little unsatisfied.

But Lin Yan was embarrassed to ask the old man for it again, after all, it was already a great favor for people to give him charity.

Lin Yan arched his hand and said:

"Thank you, uncle, have you been living here alone?" The reason for this question is that most of the residents of the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom live in the city, and because of the poor living environment, few people live alone from the town.

The old man sighed and said:

"To be honest, the old man and his little granddaughter have just moved here." At this time, the little girl who had been hiding behind the old man spoke, and said:

"And my sister!" The old man turned around and touched the little girl's head dotingly, and said with a smile:

"Yes, and my sister!" It's just that the smile looks a little bitter. Lin Yan knew that there must be a secret in this, but this was someone's private matter after all.

When they meet, if people don't want to say it, then he naturally doesn't want to ask too much. He changed the subject with interest and said:

"Uncle, do you eat 'Shami' on weekdays?" Although it was a bit rude for him to ask like this, Lin Yan mainly wanted to express that this kind of thing was not nutritious after all, and adults were fine, and children were just when they were growing their bodies, and it was not a good thing to do this in the long run.

The old man sighed and said:

"The old man also knows that the little girl is still young, and it is really painful to follow me to eat this! But the days in the desert are really sad, there is no grass here, and no other food can be grown at all, so I can only eat sand cotton canopy, sand puff seeds, and sand rice on the desert every day...... "Listening to the old man's words, Lin Yan was also uncomfortable in his heart, he was also a low-level, so he naturally knew the suffering of the low-level people.

Not to mention anything else, this kind of thing is not eaten by the disciples of the Buddhist Sect, and during the martial arts competition, even ordinary disciples of the Buddhist Sect eat white rice.

Receiving the grace of this meal and water, Lin Yan thought that if he could successfully escape, he would definitely repay the old man in the future.

Just thinking about it, suddenly several monks broke in, Lin Yan was startled, his hand instantly touched the hilt of the knife, and thought:

"What's going on? Are these people so quick to react! ”
