Chapter 310 Tongtian Riverside
The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

In the endless sea and desert, Zhang Wei and his four daughters are riding some white camels, moving forward in the sandy sea.

The sky is the sun about to set, but please don't get me wrong, the sun will never set.When the sun dips below the horizon, the sun will rise again.

In the vast sea desert, there is no night here, only day after cycle.Under such an environment, it is basically impossible for any organisms to survive here, and the water loss is too heavy.

In addition to the sun that never sets, there is also a strong wind that blows all year round.The wind brought up the yellow sand and hit it like a yellow fog, and in this yellow wind, people walking in the vast sea were either lost or swept away by the wind.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to reach the Tongtian River through the vast desert.If it can really be achieved, then this person must be the so-called 'deep connection with Buddha'.

In this environment, even practitioners feel that the moisture is lost very quickly.Requires constant hydration.

After coming out of Samora, Zhang Wei and the others prepared a large amount of fresh water and put it in the Qiankun jade snail.Everyone wore cloaks to keep out the wind and sand.

Hu Susu estimates that it will take ten days to cross the desert, which is a conservative estimate if no accidents happen.

However, accidents are never unexpected.

On the first day they entered the desert, Zhang Wei and the others encountered a quicksand area.The big white camel that Zhang Wei was riding was thrown into the desert, and was swallowed by quicksand within a few breaths.

Zhang Wei lost his mount. At this time, Hu Susu said shyly, "Young master, if you don't mind, you can ride with me."

What she said made the other three vixens glared at her. This is hooking up in front of other people's wives!It's shameless!
Zhang Wei smiled awkwardly, at this time, Hu Qinghao said not to be outdone, "Husband, come and sit with me!"

Zhang Wei nodded when he heard that, sitting with his wife, there must be nothing wrong.

But when he was about to agree, Hu Jingmo and Hu Jubai's gazes seemed to look at him.

This... This does not suffer from poverty, but from inequality!
He got on Hu Qinghao's camel, and the other two women naturally felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Wei hesitated... Thinking about it this way, it would be better to get on Hu Susu's camel, so at least the three sisters would not be angry internally, but would be angry with Hu Susu externally.

Does this count as two peaches killing three warriors?

Zhang Wei shook his head, of course it was impossible to get on Hu Susu's camel.At this time, he said to Hu Susu: "Susu, you can ride with Jingmo."

When Hu Susu heard this, she pouted a little bit unhappy.But he obediently gave up the camel and sat with Hu Jingmo.

Zhang Wei sighed, shook his head, and sat on the empty camel.

Five people marched together on four camels.Not long after walking, Zhang Wei saw several wandering ghosts appearing in front of him.

These few wandering ghosts were covered with Buddha's light, and they could be seen at a glance as eminent monks with Buddhist cultivation.But they are also people who crossed the vast sea and desert and died here.

After the death of this kind of people with Dharma in mind, they became lonely ghosts in the desert because of the special restrictions in the desert.

As long as this kind of lonely ghost encounters a stranger, it will entangle it and torture the stranger to death.

When Zhang Wei saw these ghosts, these ghosts also saw Zhang Wei, so they floated over quickly, and rushed towards Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei and the others are not afraid of this ghost, but the mounts under their crotch don't think so.

When the camel encountered such a thing, it immediately ran away in fright.Zhang Wei and the others quickly appease the mount.

After finally stopping the mount, Zhang Wei and the others took the time to deal with the ghosts that scared the camels!
A ghost is a ghost, even a ghost with Buddha's light is still a ghost.They were wiped out by Zhang Wei within a few hits.

And Zhang Wei also suffered heavy losses.

A camel was scared to death!

Zhang Wei lost a mount again!Well now, five people ride three camels.

Ever since, Zhang Wei sat on one camel, and the other two camels each carried two girls.The four vixens sat on the camel and chattered.

Suddenly, Hu Qinghao said: "Husband, if another camel dies later, what are you going to do?"

The vixen asked cunningly, Zhang Wei couldn't help being angry when he heard it, and said with a cold snort: "If the camel dies again, then I will walk!"

When Hu Qinghao heard this, she immediately said, "How can this be done? Why don't you sit with us if you burn your feet on the ground."

After she finished speaking, Hu Jubai laughed and nodded with a wide smile.Because she and Hu Qinghao belonged to the same camel.

Hu Susu on the other side heard this, snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid your side is too heavy, you'd better sit here!"

She is tall and slender, while Hu Jingmo is a little girl, while Hu Qinghao on the other side is tall and has long legs, but she is a little baby fat.Not to mention Hu Jubai, who looks very "plump" at first glance.

This sentence directly made the two girls blush with anger. If Zhang Wei hadn't been there, they would probably have had a fight.The so-called swearing at others does not scold their mothers, and exposing others does not expose shortcomings.This is specifically to find the pain points of the two women!

Zhang Wei felt a headache when he heard it, and he immediately said: "It's okay, okay! Don't talk about these things, let's go with peace of mind!"

When there is no threat from the outside world, these four vixens are the biggest threat.

Fortunately, the camel couldn't understand what they said, otherwise he would be so angry that he wouldn't go any further!

After walking away for a while, it might be really bad luck, or it might be that Hu Qinghao's words came true, and they ran into trouble again.

In the sand, suddenly many soldiers and generals crawled out.These sand soldiers and sand generals are all evil things formed by combining the grievances of people who died in the vast sea desert with sand.

When Hu Susu saw these things, he was speechless.Are they particularly unlucky?Why did you encounter so much trouble in one day?

Seeing these soldiers and generals, Zhang Wei felt a chill in his heart, and realized that he could not keep his mount!

He suddenly got angry and said: "This desert is simply too deceptive!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a bead.When the bead swayed, a large number of rampant soldiers poured out.After these rampant soldiers came out, they felt the difference in this place, so they asked Zhang Wei strangely: "My lord, what is this place, why does it give us a strange feeling?"

Thousands of rampant soldiers were floating in the air, Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry about where this is, kill the soldiers and generals in front of me!"

When these rampant soldiers saw it, they rushed up immediately.And Zhang Wei also cast the Mountain Saber Curse to equip these rampant soldiers with weapons.

Thousands of rampant soldiers rolled towards those sand soldiers, and the weapons in their hands unceremoniously slashed forward.

These sand soldiers and sand generals took weapons turned from sand, and fought with these rampant soldiers.

The rampant soldiers slashed at these sand soldiers, but the damage was actually not that great. These sand soldiers are made of sand, and even if some sand is scattered, they can be replenished quickly.

At this time, Zhang Wei was not idle either.Quickly cast the 'overcast spell'.This mantra is for people to have the ability to kill ghosts, and when it is blessed on Zhan Bing, it can make Zhan Bing hurt other people's spirits.

In the next moment, every time the rampant soldiers who had blessed the Yin curse hit the sand soldiers, in addition to bringing out some sand, they would also bring out traces of black souls.

When these souls were beaten more, the sand soldier would naturally turn into a pool of sand and fall to the ground again.

Thousands of rampant soldiers killed many soldiers and generals at once.

But the vast sea desert does not know how many people were buried, and how much resentment was contained.The sand soldiers and generals came out of the sea of ​​sand continuously.

The sand soldiers drilled out are always more than the sand soldiers killed by rampant soldiers!

This time, the vicinity was completely surrounded by soldiers and generals.

Hu Susu immediately said: "The sand soldiers can't be killed, let's run away."

When Zhang Wei heard this, he also nodded and said, "I can only escape." But at this time, their mounts were already frightened by the soldiers and generals.

After all, these camels were just mortal beasts, and they had not undergone any special training. Whenever they encountered such a scene, they either ran around in fright, or were too frightened to move.

Zhang Wei also had no choice but to abandon the three camels and say, "You wish for yourselves, now you are free!"

After finishing speaking, the five of them began to break through in one direction.

Only the three camels were left kneeling on the ground, dazed and not daring to move.

Under the cover of rampant soldiers, the five of Zhang Wei broke through in one direction, and quickly broke out.

And those sand soldiers chased after them for a while, and found that they had escaped from their range of activities, so they could only go back silently.

The five looked at each other, and they could only shake their heads as they stepped on the hot sand.

Ever since, the five of them could only really move forward on foot.

It's ridiculous to say that when they walk, this trouble becomes less.The five walk for a while, then take a break, then move on.

After going like this for three or four days, nothing happened.Except for the noisy wind, nothing else happened.

On this day, after the sun set and immediately rose, an Arhat with a Buddha wheel on his back suddenly appeared in the sky and flew across the sky.

When Hu Susu saw it, he immediately said, "Let's hide in the sand!"

As soon as the others heard it, they immediately got into the sand.Then the arhat flew over their heads slowly.

Arhats and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism are similar to immortals in Taoism. They are all conferred by Buddhist monks after they have "consummated their merits and virtues".

Even some Buddhas were enshrined.There are only a few real Buddhas.

When the arhat flew far away, Hu Susu emerged from the sand. She explained: "This kind of arhat patrolling the desert will attack people in the sand. Their strength varies, but if one is killed, It will attract a large nest, which is very troublesome!"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "This is no way out."

But Hu Susu said with a smile: "If it is a true Buddhist practitioner, these arhats will not make a move, and will even help. Unfortunately, among the five of us, none of them is a true Buddhist practitioner!"

There are five members of Zhang Wei, he himself is a Taoist monk, and the other four women are cultivators of crooked Buddhism. This heresy is even more hateful than heresy!

If you don't want to cause trouble, you can only dodge these patrolling Arhats and Bodhisattvas.

After doing this for several days, everyone could faintly hear the sound of water.Hearing this voice, Hu Susu said with a smile: "This is not far from Tongtian River. It's almost out of the desert."

Sure enough, after walking for another day, we walked out of the desert and saw a large lush green land.

At the end of this green space, there is a big river that cannot see the edge.

This is the boundary river between the pure land of Lingshan and the mortal land of the world!

But when we got here, Zhang Wei asked: "The Tongtian River is said to be eight hundred miles wide and tens of millions of miles long. Where are we going to find Granny Jinhua?"

At this time, Hu Susu smiled and said, "I need to find someone to ask! There are still many living people living by the Tongtian River."

Tongtian River is the boundary river between Lingshan and the mortal world, but it is not just the boundary river between Lingshan and the mortal world. On the other side of Tongtian River, there are still many strange spaces.

On the side of the Tongtian River, there used to be many people who lived there, and these people have multiplied to this day, and the scale is not small.

Hu Susu led the way, and after a short walk with everyone, he saw a small village.

There are more than a hundred families in this village, and they have opened up an acre of fertile fields around the village, and now many people in this fertile field are harvesting crops.

Zhang Wei and others walked in and saw that they were harvesting a finger-sized rice.

This kind of rice is very tall, and the ears of rice produced are also very large. Each grain of rice is as big as a finger, and it is golden like small gold.

The people here cut off the ears of rice on tiptoe, then put them into the back baskets behind them, and when the back baskets are almost full, they carry them back with great effort.

Hu Susu walked forward and asked an old farmer who was harvesting rice: "Old man, where is this?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Wei was taken aback, and said in his heart: "So you don't know where this is, you don't know, you asked me! I know."

With his knowledgeable supernatural powers, he can know where they are.

Hearing Hu Susu's words, the old man stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat and said, "This is Qingshui Village, are you foreigners?"

Hu Susu smiled and said, "We are foreigners, and we just want to know the way. May I ask how to get to Baiyundu?"

The old man smiled and said: "This Baiyundu is very far away, and it will take several days. It's getting late now, do you want to stay in our village for one night, and then go on the road tomorrow?"

Hu Susu smiled and said, "All right, then let's not bother you."

After speaking, she returned to Zhang Wei's side.Said to Zhang Wei: "This old man is full of lies, it is not worth believing."

Zhang Wei was taken aback, and said, "How do you know that he is full of lies?"

"There is no such thing as Baiyundu, I just made it up to talk nonsense." Bai Susu sneered.

"Then we leave directly?" Zhang Wei asked.

"No, this Tongtian River is different. You must know where it is, and then know the directions of a few fixed places before you can walk there."

This Tongtian River floods once a year, and the flooded river will submerge both banks along the way. When the water recedes, the place after the flood will be fertile for thousands of miles, but the land will also be washed away and reassembled.

Let's put it this way, every time the Tongtian River floods, the surrounding land will be rearranged. Except for a few places that will not change, the rest will be regrouped.

For example, your village was Wang Village next door before the flood, but after the flood, this Wang Village no longer exists, and it may become Li Village or Zhao Village.

The locals will then have to re-find their way to determine where they are this year.The people here have experienced many things, and they have figured out some rules to some extent, and can quickly know where their village is.

The time for the Tongtian River to flood every year is also fixed, that is, after July [-] every year.

After listening to Bai Susu's explanation, Zhang Wei said, "This is not a problem for me, let me help you ask where this is."

After speaking, he invoked the supernatural power of knowing the earth and began to feel it.

After a while, he said with a strange expression: "This village is indeed called Qingshui Village." On this point, the old man did not lie.

Then at this time, the old man came over with a basket of rice on his back, and he said with a smile: "You guys, follow me back to the village."

After speaking, he walked ahead.The crowd followed behind him.

I have to say, this old man looks very powerful!This basket looks heavy, but this old man walks like flying, not slow at all.

Soon, he returned to the village and dumped the rice in the basket on the village square, where someone went to spread the rice and began to dry the rice.

It seems that people here are collective.Regardless of private and public.

After the old man handed over the rice, he said to Zhang Wei and the others: "Let's go, go to the old man's house to deal with it for one night."

The crowd followed him, and they arrived at a small farmyard in a short time.An old woman came out of the courtyard, the old man said a few words to the old woman, and the old woman nodded and walked into the house.

The old man smiled and said: "It will be fine after dinner, let's rest first." Then, he brought a table and put it in the courtyard, and then brought tea.

Zhang Wei and the others sat down without drinking water.At this time, the old man asked, "Why are you going to Baiyundu?"

Hu Susu smiled and said, "I'm looking for someone."

The old man nodded and said: "This Baiyundu changed its name from Chiyundu a few years ago. The original King Chiyun was beaten away by King Baiyun, and most of the people in the city were also driven away. There was a lot of trouble at that time."

When Bai Susu heard this, she was stunned. Is there really such a thing as Bai Yundu, which she was talking about casually?
She looked at Zhang Wei with a strange expression, and then asked, "Is this Chiyundu gone?"

The old man nodded and said, "Of course, don't you know?" He gave Hu Susu a strange look, and it was clear that she was the one who wanted to talk about going to Baiyundu.

This Chiyun Ferry is one of the few places along the Tongtian River that will not change.The unchanging locations by the Tongtian River are all ferry crossings.

This time, Bai Susu was confused, she couldn't tell whether what the old man said was true or not.

At this time, another man and a woman came back.After the two came back, they greeted the old man, who seemed to be his son and daughter-in-law.

The old man nodded to them, then pointed to Zhang Wei and the others and said, "These are some foreigners who are going to Baiyundu."

After hearing this, the young man said: "This Baiyun Ferry is far away, and it has to pass through the Black Crow Forest, which is dangerous."

As he was talking, the old woman and daughter-in-law over there brought dinner.

Their dinner was a big bowl of white rice, served in a basin the size of a washbasin, and they also brought a few small bowls.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the big bowl of rice on the table, and then the daughter-in-law began to hand out the bowls and chopsticks. The old man said: "There is nothing to explain at home, so you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Zhang Wei and the others, he packed a big bowl of rice and started eating.

Zhang Wei and the others looked at each other, and then Zhang Wei nodded to them.A few people started to fill up the meal.Zhang Wei and the others filled very little, while the old man's family filled a large bowl.

This rice looks very good, it is oily and smooth, and the rice grains are distinct. Is there only rice but no vegetables?

Is it so light?
Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, but still picked some rice into his mouth.

Just after chewing a few times, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, this rice is delicious!

Moderate hardness, sweet and delicious.There is a strong rice fragrance, after eating it, the mouth will be filled with body fluid, and the physical strength will be replenished after a while.

This rice, two bowls can be eaten without vegetables!
The four girls' eyes lit up after eating, and they quickly started eating.

After eating a small bowl, Zhang Wei didn't have the nerve to continue pretending, because the old man's family wolfed down the big bowl of rice already!
The old man patted his stomach, then looked at Zhang Wei and the others, and suddenly said a little embarrassedly: "You are only eating for yourself, and neglecting the guests. I don't know if you are full?"

What Zhang Wei could say, he just nodded and said with a dry smile, "I'm full, thank you for the hospitality."

The old man nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's fine if you're full. You guys should rest for a night and go on your way tomorrow."

When he said this, he paused and continued: "Don't go out at night, if you hear or see something, don't say anything, it's okay."

He said this matter very seriously, Zhang Wei and the others could only nod their heads.

................................................

When the sky was said to be gloomy, it dimmed.Not long after eating, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

The old man gave up a big house to Zhang Wei, and then gave some instructions: "Don't go out at night, don't say anything you see or hear, you will be safe."

After speaking, the old man left.

When the old man left, the five of them looked at each other, and then Hu Qinghao asked a question: "How do you sleep tonight?"

Zhang Wei was almost angry with her, he said: "Is it time to care about this issue? Aren't you worried about what happened at night?"

The girls shook their heads, and said, "This old man is not lying, and he won't harm us!"

When Zhang Wei heard it, he wondered, "Why are you so sure?"

Hearing this, Hu Susu said a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake, so I'll combine them with Xinyuehu's supernatural powers to see if this old man has any evil intentions."

"As a result, this old man is a good man..." Hu Susu said shyly.At first she wanted to try someone else, but thought the other party was lying.But it didn't occur to her that she made a mistake in the end.

Since the old man is a good person, how to sleep tonight is a big deal for them!After all, there are more foxes and less meat!
