Chapter 166: The Secret Realm in the Forest
After the rainstorm, the thin clouds left in the sky quickly dissipated under the power of the scorching sun, and the rain that had spread on the ground before only left a large and fine trace, but I don't know where the large patches of rain that had accumulated before disappeared.
"It is rumored that such a strange phenomenon has only started in the past thousand years, some people say that it is because of the compassion of the gods in the mountains, who often cast spells to do good deeds, I once had such a guess, but after meeting the Three Ghosts, he told me that this is not something that cultivators can do at all. ”
The words of the black fox made Liu Qingmian suddenly think of the top powerhouse he had seen, Mu Yidrunk, and the three ghosts after demonization.
But no matter which of them is, they have not shown this ability to call the wind and rain, like this kind of thing that has to be done for days, the top cultivators who cherish their wings have always been unwilling to do it, not to mention, to transform a desert with the help of perennial rainstorms, just to perform the true breath that costs one, it is worth a century war, not to mention the frequent strange rain here.
And I don't know where all these strange rains ended up, except for a part of the oasis area, the rest seems to have disappeared completely.
However, the ground near the oasis is noticeably wet, which shows that the moisture does make a difference, but the locals prefer to believe that it is a miracle when it comes to the origin of this phenomenon.
They believe that the depths of the oasis are inhabited by gods who bring life, which is one of the reasons why the number of inhabitants has increased over the millennia.
The oasis in front of them was densely vegetated, and the plants grew in it crowdedly, making it difficult for even people to advance and get down in it, let alone the three big camels, but just when Liu Qingmian was troubled, the black fox told them that it was okay to leave the camels here.
"We shouldn't be the only ones who came to this oasis, right? Could it be that the people who came behind us were taken away?" Although I don't want to speculate maliciously about anyone, anything can happen in such a harsh environment.
"Don't worry, camel theft is not allowed here, you see. The black fox took the camel from Liu Qingmian's hand, only to see that there was an obvious gap in its ears, Liu Qingmian still remembered that this was on the day of purchase, the boss hit the camel of the two.
She still remembered that she was very puzzled at the time, but she couldn't understand the language that the boss was talking about at that time, so she had to give up.
"You see, this one of mine has it too. The black fox said that there was also a distinct notch in the ears of the camel that belonged to him, but the shape was very different from that of the two of them.
The black fox made a smile on his face as much as possible, "Although we have a lot of camels here, there are only so many bosses who sell them, you guys, I know who sold them at a glance, even if they are taken away, as long as he is seen holding two different camels in his hands, then he doesn't want to live here." ”
"Is it so godly..."Bai Ye said.
In any case, even if you can't be completely relieved in your heart, there is only this way now, and besides, it doesn't look like there are people in this area, even if you really encounter the worst, when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it, there will always be a way.
Speaking of the back, the black fox showed a proud expression, obviously very satisfied and trusting of the unwritten rules of the local area.
Bai Ye and Liu Qingmian had already seen a lot of deception, but at this time, they were also infected by his appearance.
On our side, only the camels that have been sold will make this sign, and the border is some wetter land, and after entering and outside, there are two worlds, and a refreshing fragrance of coolness is also blowing in the face.
The oasis is home to some tall trees that provide a lot of shade, and there are obvious signs of man-made at the entrance to the oasis, with several well-kept paths running through it.
The black fox led the two of them further in, but it was not where there was a path.
Liu Qingmian only felt that everywhere he saw was the same green, and when he was at the edge of the oasis just now, he could still see some traces of man-made felling, and even various fruit trees appeared, but most of the fruits on the trees were picked, which looked very similar to the varieties that Liu Qingmian had seen in the market in the morning, and it was very likely that the residents picked them from here.
As the group went deeper into the oasis, not only did the plant species increase here, but they also grew more densely, and the movement of several people had to slow down.
The black fox walked in front, and as the rain passed, his mood seemed to improve, and he turned back to the two and said, "I'm not actually a local, but since I came here, I have unconsciously liked this desert with miracles, and the oasis here is expanding every year, and everyone can feel hope when they stay here." ”
His words were full of power, although Liu Qingmian couldn't fully understand the life here, but after running around in the desert for two days, she couldn't help but feel excited when she saw such a large oasis of life.
"It's such a great place, and hopefully one day, the whole desert will come alive. Liu Qingmian said.
"Okay, I promise you. ”
Under the leadership of the black fox, several people walked towards the depths of the oasis again, and they didn't know what he relied on to determine the direction and route, and the smooth turning seemed that they didn't even need time to think about where to go.
A few people didn't know how long they had been gone, Liu Qingmian asked a few times, and the black fox only comforted them and said that it was almost there.
Because of the dense vegetation here, the place where a few people walk has been blocked by the shade of trees, it is very cool, and there are occasional crisp chirpings of birds and beasts in the forest, which is very quiet, and it is obvious that there is no other person nearby at this time.
Finally, the dense forest that seemed to have no end in front of me suddenly disappeared, as if it was at the end of an oasis, and the few people who walked out of the dense forest suddenly brightened in front of them, but not because they walked out of the woods.
Above them was a taller and denser grove, and the sunlight was shining in from a distance, illuminating the scene clearly.
"Wow!" Liu Qingmian exclaimed, and then covered his mouth with his hand, there was no way, because the scenery in front of him was too strange!
Ahead, you will see a mysterious and beautiful glade, in which there are some natural puddles, which are strangely irregular in shape, like the traces left by the random stroke of ink by the gods.
"It's around here. The black fox said, looking around, and finally walked in one direction.
In fact, the seclusion here is already very high, not to mention how big this oasis is, no one knows how many such glades there are.
Despite this, the black fox walked carefully to avoid leaving obvious traces, and eventually, he stopped under a large tree.
Liu Qingmian and Bai Ye walked over like him, and then he bowed in front of the tree, took out an ordinary round stone from his arms, pointed the stone at the tree in front of him, and made some divine chattering movements, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was releasing some folk spell.
The black fox's already deep voice seemed longer here, and it was further amplified in this seemingly isolated place, and each syllable was extremely clear, at first I didn't feel it, but after listening to it for a long time, Liu Qingmian only felt that her head was throbbing, but Bai Ye next to her was like a nobody.
Bai Ye also noticed that Liu Qingmian was wrong at this time, and said with concern: "Xiao Mian, what's wrong?"
Liu Qingmian shook her head, but the pain was even worse under the shake, which instantly made her take a breath of cool air.
"I don't know... All of a sudden, my head started to hurt, hmm!"
Just when she was squatting on the ground in pain, the black fox's chanting happened to end, Liu Qingmian only felt that her brain was light, and a cool breeze blew, and she realized that she was sweating.
And the big tree that the black fox chanted just now, there were a few more cracks on the trunk, two horizontal and two vertical, intertwined to form a small door, and the miraculous thing was that everyone didn't see such a thing just now.
This is probably the entrance, the black fox successfully cast the spell, and naturally his mood was a little better, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Qingmian squatting on the ground, his face was very bad, and Bai Ye went to the puddle next to him to find water for her, and he didn't know what happened for a while.
"Little girl, why are you squatting?
Liu Qingmian didn't rush to answer, in fact, she was more curious than anyone else, what happened to her just now, because such a situation was unprecedented.
Soon, Bai Ye came back with a handful of water wrapped in big leaves, he looked at the black fox and asked, "Brother, is the water safe here?"
The black fox signaled him to rest assured: "The water here can definitely be drunk with confidence, there are many puddles in this oasis, and there is a natural well water on the other side, everyone will go there every day to fetch water, at first I was worried that it would soon be used up, but as long as it rains hard, it will be replenished soon, and the water here is the same, it is from the usual rainfall, if I am really not at ease, then I will take a sip first..."
"No need..."Liu Qingmian took the leaves from Bai Ye, he hadn't heard of any cultivators who were afraid of eating a bad stomach, Liu Qingmian naturally didn't want to be the first person in the ages.
She no longer has a headache at this time, but her face is still hot for a while, as if she is tired, she looked at the clear water in front of her, although it is from the puddle, but she can't see any impurities, and there is no smell, she hesitated for a second and took a sip.
The cool water inlet lifted her spirits, and the heat on her face instantly faded, and she instantly felt much more comfortable.
The black fox looked at the surprised look on Liu Qingmian's face, showed an expression of 'I know', and asked, "How is it?" It tastes good, isn't it? We were worried at first, but everyone had similar expressions after drinking it..."
"This is the hope left to us by the god of recovery, and do you know that without this oasis and these 'priceless treasures' hidden here, the surrounding towns would have been in ruins.
