"Your opinion is right, the Danxia landform is indeed the result of the combined effect of feng shui erosion, but it is not absolute, at least, it is not strange to appear here."

Then, she grabbed a handful of dust on the ground: "The ground is very hot, it has been burned by fire, but there is no heat source nearby, and the land does not grow vegetation, which means that the soil is poor, and this barren and hot soil is probably produced by geological movements, until now, the rock formations in this basin have not been completely cooled, and it is impossible for any seeds to survive in the absence of water and nutrients. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the river valley and see what these god-headed chickens look like."

With that, the carriage and horses drove into the green veins and into the river valley.

Descending the valley, the vegetation on both sides of the river gradually increases, but due to the hot soil, only a few low shrubs that are less than the ankles can grow, or simply a layer of lichen that sticks to the ground.

On the mountain walls on both sides of the river, there are many half-waist-high earth caves, which are covered by shrubs on the periphery, and there are a lot of dead grass stacked outside the holes.

As they approached the valley, they took a closer look at the appearance of the god-headed chicken.

They are as big as geese, with long legs like cranes, similar to domestic roosters, covered with a layer of orange mottled feathers, huge black bright feathers appear at the tail, which shimmer in the sun, hanging behind the chicken's buttocks like a ponytail, slender legs and feet are covered with goose yellow skin, and chicken paws grow brown sharp fingers, which can run firmly on the ground.

The most others are the heads of the gods.

Their heads are still the same as ordinary chickens, but the eyes are not round, but slender phoenix eyes, the eyes are pitch black with round light, and the red cockscomb on the top of the head has also been replaced by a few blood-red gorgeous feathers, as if wearing a few fluffy bright red feathers, the white beak is sharp and slender, and you can see a row of small teeth near the snout.

When they walk, their necks are tilted forward, and at the same time, they flutter their wings in order to maintain their balance, and they have never been seen flying, and presumably, these wings can only maintain balance, and they can no longer carry their huge bodies.

Song Siyuan took the binoculars, carefully observed the god-headed chicken drilled out of the hole, and said: "It looks really strange, but it's not too weird, it's probably a variant of some mountain chickens." ”

"Why are they called god-headed chickens?" Yue Guanchao asked.

Ghost Fangzong walked over: "These god-headed chickens are also called wasteland chickens, living in this Shenjiling Basin, they feed on the fish and shrimp in the water and the insects on the shore every day, they grow much bigger than ordinary chickens and ducks, most of the time they are foraging, listening to the farmers near Shennongjia, the god-headed chicken is the husband of the mountain god, responsible for night patrols, and at night, I see that these chickens have strange eyes and can call the mountain god." ”

"How's it taste?"

Yue Er Pao listened to the introduction of the Ghost Fang Sect and moved his throat, obviously wanting to hit the idea of the god's head chicken.

Ghost Fang Sect shook his head: "I don't know, no one dares to eat this god-headed chicken, besides, they have eaten a lot of flowers and plants, who knows if there are any toxins accumulated in their bodies." ”

Yue Guanchao patted him on the back and teased: "You, don't think about the idea of hitting the god's head chicken, these strange chickens don't know what they are, be careful of being caught by the mountain god." ”

Song Siyuan said: "Seeing that it is already evening, we have to quickly find a place to live, there is no mountain forest to cover here, it is estimated that there is a lot of wind and sand at night, we have to find a place to block the wind a little." ”

Ghost Fang Sect nodded, and continued to walk deep into the river valley with the craftsmen and them, and only stopped when they came to a river beach, the river beach in front of them was located at the fork of the tributaries of the river valley, and the three mountain peaks converged in the river, forming a scouring triangle valley on the nearby river beach, and a large tidal flat appeared in the valley.

Song Siyuan looked at the narrowest river valley, this river valley is located on the right side of the triangle river valley, the peaks on both sides are crowded against each other, and they are almost close together, leaving only a gap in the sky to pass through the river, and the mountain wall is steep and vertical, and no one can climb it.

She nodded: "The river valley here is very deep, and the mountain walls on both sides are relatively narrow, which can play a role in blocking the wind, and at the same time, the nearby river is also convenient for us to get water, but, after all, we are in the river valley, this is the river confluence of the Danxia Mountains, it is likely that other animals will come, it is best to live in a high place, so as not to be attacked by some wild animals in the camp." ”

After that, some of the craftsmen who had gone to inquire had already run back, and said with great joy: "At the top of your river valley, there are several abandoned platforms, which look like the water and soil have collapsed and lost, and there is a piece missing on the cliff, forming a gentle slope, and there are no animal nests on it, which can be used for stationing. ”

"Good!"

After everyone entered the river valley, they really saw that there was only a line of sky left above their heads, and in the middle of the valley facing up dozens of meters, it can be seen that the mountain wall is concave into the mountain, as if a crack in the rock wall, digging a gap inward, and the rock layer facing down also forms a slope, which can be driven up by a horse-drawn carriage.

The chariot and horse walked up the slope to Bandong, where the space is not small, and it can be seen that the crack has been expanding, forming a new valley in the middle of the mountain.

"That's it."

They stopped their wagons and began to set up camp, and as the tents were erected, the wagons were surrounded by the tents to act as a windbreaker.

"It's not going to rain here!"

Yue Guanchao glanced at the carriage, and after only a while, he had already seen dust on it, and he touched the yellow of his hand.

"No, such a landform, rain is not the norm, the land and rock formations are dry like this, most of the time it is impossible to rain, I guess it is also because of the geothermal heat, so that even if there is rain here, it will evaporate quickly, and the water in these valleys mainly comes from rivers outside the basin."

"That's good, don't get drenched in soup when the time comes."

After the tent was erected, it was already evening, and the craftsmen began to patrol along the platform, and while everyone was busy, Xu Xiake had nothing to do and began to meditate on the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, the sun is setting, the sunset is only half a plate, and ten thousand golden rays penetrate the cascading cirrus clouds, all of which fall in this basin, lining these Danxia mountains to be more orange and splendid, the wind and sand sweep over the mountain, rippling golden dust, and everyone feels that they are in a different place, treacherous and strange, and extraordinarily brilliant.

Yue Guanchao saw the bright and extinguishing golden sand blowing beside Xu Xiake, and teased: "Xu Daochang, are you going to nirvana?" ”

"Huh!"

Xu Xiake ignored him and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Yue Guanchao walked to his side, he wanted to continue to tease him, but when he glanced down, he saw that Yue Erpao had taken Banshu and a few craftsmen to catch several god-headed chickens, and the hairs were about to be plucked at this time.

He shouted to the bottom: "Yue Erpao, you have a long ability, tell you not to fight these chickens, I didn't see it for a while, and the hair was plucked." ”

"I see that in addition to being big, these chickens are no different from domestic ones, just to see if they are delicious."

After that, a bonfire was already raised by the river, and the chickens were washed and washed, and wooden sticks were put on the fire, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and roasted until they were bubbling with oil.
