There are thousands of mysteries and strange things in the world, who dares to say that they have exhausted them?

Xizhou is the birthplace of Buddhism in the five states, although it is not as strong as Qingzhou to develop into a hundred and ten mountains in a state, and the hundred and ten mountains are close to the Buddha concept, but it is also the leading famous school in Xizhou.

Moreover, this place is divided into religions, and nearly one-third of them believe in Buddhism, which shows its long-term prosperity.

Today, the eastern part of Xizhou ushered in a pilgrimage procession, the team of men, women, young and old, all of them, both ragged poor people, but also well-dressed rich people, the difference is different appearances, the same is full of sincerity, their eyes are firm and indifferent, even if Xizhou is still hot as a furnace at this time, these pilgrims are still in good spirits.

One cannot do without faith, which does not refer only to gods and Buddhas, but sometimes it is a kind of faith itself.

At the head of the procession was a wrinkled old woman, with her head hanging and hunched over, holding a stick made of poplar branches, her gray hair wrapped in a thick turban, and her tanned face was full of determination.

This is the case in Xizhou, there are three major categories of residents, simply put, one is like an old woman, who looks the same as the appearance of Qingzhou people, the second is like Xizhou Prefecture, where Shazam has white skin and blond eyes, calling himself the Qiang nationality, and the last one is the whole body is as dark as the bottom of a pot, known as the Kun nationality.

The situation of the three clans in Xizhou is different, the first one is needless to say, it is the largest number of people in Xizhou, and it is conceivable that there will not be much change, and it is the most powerful part.

However, the latter two are very different in appearance, and the bone physiognomy is very different, and it is faintly difficult to blend because of the difference between the style of action and the first one, and the influence of power is naturally difficult to compare with the first, but in general, the situation of the Qiang people in Xizhou is significantly better than that of the Kun people, which is also due to the support of the state lord Shazam, coupled with his talent, there is nothing to say.

The three are different but because they are all human races watch and help each other, and there are many hardships in them, so I will not repeat them here.

Perhaps it was too long to travel, even if the pilgrims were as sincere as the pilgrims would be tired, especially the long yellow sand, the camel bells jingled, quite a test of people's hearts, so the old woman's face that was exactly the same as that of the Qingzhou people thought for a while and beckoned to the people behind her, and everyone took the dry food from the camels' backs and sat together, while several camels lay behind them and surrounded them in an inner circle.

This is a measure they often take when they walk in the desert and encounter sandstorms, and the combination of people to fight sandstorms is often quite effective.

Fortunately, there is no wind and sand at the moment, otherwise they would have to suffer.

After everyone had prepared the food and water bladders, the old woman nodded and signaled that she could eat.

There is not much dry food, not much water, just enough for them to make ends meet, and if they want to eat and drink, who knows how long these things will be able to support them, in case there is no place for supplies.

Therefore, everyone just nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry and hard naan, swallowed their stomachs with a small amount of saliva, and then drank two sips of water luxuriously.

"There is not much water left, save some, and we must not waste it until we find a new oasis!"

The old woman told her that they might be able to survive for a few days without dry food, but they wouldn't be able to last even a day without water, otherwise where did the dried corpses they met on the road come from?

The crowd nodded yes, and what the old woman said was old-fashioned, and they did not object. This is the second time that the old woman has taken them on a pilgrimage to Lianhua Temple, and she is deeply trusted by them.

Seeing the cooperation of everyone, the old woman was also relieved, although it was not the first time she went on a pilgrimage, but it also made her feel a lot more relaxed to meet the people who were more worry-free, and this time she took them to Lianhua Temple for the second time, hoping to arrive all the way smoothly.

"The Law of Appeal"

A loud snort sounded from behind the crowd.

"Old man, can you ask for saliva to drink?"

The old woman raised her head and stood up, and saw a young man in linen wearing a gauze cloak, riding on a white-haired donkey, the hood on the cloak was buckled on his head, and a long piece of wood was on his back.

Pilgrims turn their hearts to Buddhas, and if they can, they will never stand idly by and watch the suffering of those in front of them.

In fact, the old woman did the same, although there was not much water in their water bladder, but they couldn't help but let people take a sip, right?

The old woman took the bladder that the last person in the group had just taken two sips of, and passed it around the camel to the young man.

Taking the water bladder, he smiled kindly at the old woman, shook the little water bladder left in his hand, and poured two mouthfuls into his mouth, and the water flowed down his mouth and face, bringing him a refreshing coolness.

"Why are you like this, it's rare for us to let you drink water, why do you spill so much water, do you know that it is the little clear water we have left?"

A woman of the Qiang tribe stood up and accused the young man, while the others also stood up to show their attitude when they saw this, glaring angrily at the young man.

The old woman at the head sighed, and reached out to ask the boy for the water bladder. She was soft-hearted for a while and let the young man drink water but caused dissatisfaction among everyone, but she didn't blame the young man, not only because the young man and she were both Qingzhou looks, but also because it was obvious that the young man was not a local, although he wasted some water, it was unintentional.

Of course, at least the young man should have felt a little embarrassed, wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeve, shook the water bladder again, and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I haven't seen anyone for two days, and I'm a little embarrassed for a while." ”

The young man threw the water bladder into the arms of the woman of the Qiang tribe and said to the old woman: "Waste some water for everyone, but there is a word to give, please detour ten miles ahead, that place is no longer suitable for the human race to approach." ”

After saying that, he rode away on a white donkey, the yellow sand was long, and the figure disappeared after a few breaths.

The old woman had been to and from the Holy Land more than once from this vicinity, but she had never heard that the human race was not approached ten miles ahead, and the only good impression she had for the young man was instantly wiped out, and the young man wasted the water that was so precious to them, and lied at will for the sake of face, which was really not right.

However, she didn't care too much about the Dharma and kindness, and only hoped that if she remembered correctly, it would be an oasis about ten miles ahead, and she should be able to stick to it before the little bit of water in the water bladder ran out.

It's just that there is still a question in my heart, can a donkey run so fast on the dunes?

You must know that the sand dunes are no better than ordinary ground, and everything that is thin and heavy can easily sink, but everything that is wide and light can walk on the ground, which is one of the reasons why camels with wide soles are extremely popular in Xizhou, not only because of their resistance to heat and thirst. If you change to a donkey or a horse, you are afraid that if you can't go far, you will die in the sand dunes because of the hoofs that are often stuck in the sand and lack of water.

At this time, the woman of the Qi tribe, who had been stunned for a long time, finally spoke: "This water... water..."

The old woman frowned, glanced sideways, and as a leader, she also showed some authority. It was her decision to let the boy drink water, and this woman of the Qiang tribe kept talking about the water bladder over and over again, but it was annoying.

Thinking of this, the old woman hurriedly recited the lotus mantra silently, and secretly said that she actually had a resentful thought, which was really a sin.

"No, this bladder..."

"Good, what's wrong with the water bladder?"

"The water bladder is full!"

Full?

The old woman hurriedly snatched the water bladder, and the heavy weight of the hand could not deceive people, and the sound in the water bladder was also a muffled sound, and when she opened the stopper, it was full of water reflecting the scorching sun overhead, and there were many signs that the water bladder was indeed full of water.

Could it be the legendary Bodhisattva The old woman bowed her head and recited Amitabha.

The young man who just passed by, the immortal Bodhisattva in the old woman's mouth was of course Luo Buyi, at this time he was reining in the place where he said that it was not suitable for the human race, no, it was standing by strangling a donkey.

It was once an oasis, with flowers, trees, grass, and most importantly, water, a vast pool of water, so clear that it was like jasper, where little beasts roamed leisurely, drinking water and playing, full of life, compared to the sand dunes everywhere, it was literally heavenly.

It's just that now, maybe in the eyes of others, this place is still green, but in fact, in Luo Buyi's eyes, the ground is full of wreckage, the trees have been knocked down and broken, the flowers and plants have long since withered, the little beasts have been killed and injured, the corpses have been sunburned into dried meat, and as for the yearning small lake, the black waves are churning, and there is a faint fishy smell escaping from it.

A good desert oasis has become such a badland, and I don't know what happened, which is why Luo Buyi didn't let the group of pilgrims pass through here.

Luo Buyi leaned down and asked Ryoma, "Is there anything weird here?"

"Woo Flop..."

Ryoma responded with a loud nose, and at the same time a pair of copper bell eyes glanced at Luo Buyi quietly, and obviously breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he didn't look at it, whether this broken place was weird or not, it didn't plan to help investigate, it was really stinky!

Seeing that Ryoma didn't react, Luo Buyi knew that he couldn't rely on Ryoma in this matter, so he had to pinch his nose and get down from Ryoma's back, where is this oasis, this is Heizhou!

Thinking that since Wu Yan was sucked away by the black hole and disappeared, he has been looking for Wu Yan's traces in a circle, and his intuition told him that Wu Yan definitely did not go far.

It's just that when he wandered around here today, he found that there was a strange "Black Continent", and what surprised him was that his qi machine couldn't detect it, which was also terrifying. While he was thinking about it, he found that there was a pilgrimage team that stepped through his thoughts, and his qi spread around, and he found that there was a pilgrimage team coming in his direction, and this was the case when he had just drunk other people's water and pretended to be a master.

But this place is still very strange, he can't fathom it, so he summoned three thousand swords from behind his back, and the sword flew up, flying towards this small lake, and he could find out what was strange.

As the saying goes, the so-called no wind and no waves, there are demons when things are different, especially in this black lake in this environment where there is no slightest wind in the environment is still wavy, saying that there is nothing in this water, Luo Buyi can not believe it.

And if there is really something, Luo Buyi's behavior can really be regarded as a provocation, or he uses himself as bait to tease the things in the water, which is harmless.

That's what the technologist is bold enough to say.

Just when Luo Buyi squinted his eyes and carefully searched for underwater movement inch by inch, a mouth bigger than the lake suddenly arched from under the lake, biting towards Luo Buyi, which was more powerful than swallowing the sky!
