White Bone Monkey King

Jin An: "?"

Why do I feel like you are not complimenting me?

Mr. Yiyun did not explain, but left the back of his head to carry water, leaving Jin An alone to ponder the girl's thoughts.

Yan Kuan and the others were amazed when they saw Jin An and the others carrying water back and forth.

Only then did they react.

I also plan to come here to carry water.

As a result, when they came over, there were not many water bags left on the camels' backs.

In the end, Yan Kuan and others could only stare blankly, leaving a "just wait and see" look in their eyes. They had no choice but to go to the Buddhist Kingdom of the Great Rift Valley to find water sources to replenish water.

The last time they replenished water was at the Wu'er Desert's Ear Tiankeng more than ten days ago. No one was sure whether they would encounter new water replenishing points on the way, so if they wanted to continue going deep into the desert to look for In the Kingdom of Death, they must do everything possible to ensure that the team has enough water.

Afterwards, Jin An, Mr. Yiyun, Qi Bo, and Ayimaimaiti, who had filled up their supplies of water, set off on the road together.

He and Yan Kuan parted ways.

In the desert at noon, the sun is so hot that people are smoking. When people walk here, even if they wear windproof robes, they can't resist the scorching sun above their heads. The boundless sea of ​​sand spreads on this barren land. Everywhere you can see is dry yellow sand. There is no greenery or plants in sight, which gradually drains people's energy.

"It's been a while since we left the Great Rift Valley. Do you think Yan Kuan's people have collided with those in the northern grassland and started killing them?"

Young Master Yiyun followed the ups and downs of the camel's back, and her body also bounced up and down. She held the reins in her hand and came to Jin An, who was riding the sheep, and spoke.

"I don't care if they kill each other. I'm just curious. Are you not worried at all that the two of them will join forces to deal with us first after they meet?"

Mr. Yiyun's worries are also justified.

Jin An killed several of Yan Kuan's masters.

Now the clear water of those prairie people has been evacuated.

Both sides now have a common enemy.

It is really possible that they will form an alliance to hunt down Jin An.

Even though the Five Zang Immortal Temple can adjust yin and yang in Jin'an, when he went deep into the desert, his forehead was sweating due to the sun above his head. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his hands in front of his forehead and looked up at the dizzy and dazzling sun. Then he lowered his head and looked at Mr. Yiyun.

The entire team was sweating profusely due to the harsh sun, and the others were so sunburned that they lay motionless on the backs of camels. Their spirits were listless and they tried to save their energy as much as possible. Even Jin An had sweat on his forehead, but Mr. Yiyun was the only one with no trace of sweat. Not even the slightest sign of being sweaty.

Facing Young Master Yiyun's question, Jin An replied: "What Young Master Yiyun said is reasonable, but there is one thing that Young Master Yiyun did not consider, and that is the benefits."

"Only common interests can bring the two parties together."

"But the biggest crisis before them is that everyone is short of water. So what if there is groundwater in the Grand Canyon? We have even emptied the water bags. It is impossible for those prairie people to drink a lot of water and drive in the desert, right?"

"No matter how much those people hate us, they still need enough water bags and water to hunt us down for long distances in the desert... Then here comes the problem. Water is more precious than gold in the desert. Mr. Yiyun, what do you think Yan Kuan is doing? Will people share it willingly?”

"There is a saying that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall."

"There is also a saying that people who are not of my race must have different minds."

"Yan Kuan must be like us, always suspicious and wary of those grassland people. After all, no one can say for sure. Is there only one copy of the immortal medicine in the Kingdom of the Immortal God? Even if there are two copies, wouldn't they have the selfish intention to keep one? Give it to yourself, as long as anyone who is afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death will long for immortality."

Jin An turned back and looked into the depths of the desert: "I left Yan Kuan and those people for another purpose, and that is to prevent those grassland people from being driven to death and desperately chasing us for water."

"Those who are left with Yan Kuan who are suspicious of each other can delay us a lot of time."

After listening to Jin An's words, Master Yiyun looked Jin An up and down again, as if he had just met Jin An on the first day.

Jin An looked a little uncomfortable: "What?"

Young Master Yiyun was wearing a windshield mask, so the expression on her face could not be seen, but through the corners of her eyes, she seemed to be looking at Jin An with a smile: "Looking at the back of Taoist Jin An reminded me of something."

"What is it?"

"A little fox wearing a five-color Taoist robe."

Jin An's face turned dark.

He felt that Master Yiyun had scolded him for the second time today.

He originally wanted to resist, but then he thought about it, he still owed the other party six fish skins, and he couldn't make Mr. Yiyun anxious, otherwise he would pick up six fish skins in the desert to repay the debt.

"Ah, this vast desert is like a calm sea. Master Yiyun, can you see where the Kingdom of the Immortal God is?" Jin An said seriously.

"?"

In fact, Jin An was right. They had walked out of the Yadan landform, and a new terrain appeared in front of them. It was a flat, unobstructed desert.

Suddenly, the silly sheep let out a wail, and its head jerked up in pain. The horns, which were as thick as horns, were burned red, as if they had been burned by a red-hot iron, emitting a strong smell of burning.

A piece of fur on his forehead was burned, revealing the burned flesh and blood under the fur.

If the silly sheep hadn't stopped in time, it wouldn't just have been burned on its horns and fur, but it would have turned into a roasted whole sheep.

But the camel that Mr. Yiyun was sitting on was not so easy to stop in time. Half of its body burned, and then it was set on fire and turned into a torch. The more painful the camel struggled, the faster it burned. Mr. Yiyun wanted to rush up to save the camel, but chi There was a burning smell, and even her skin was burned. She retreated in panic, and had to watch her camel being burned to death.

Jin An looked solemn.

"There's something wrong with the sunshine in this desert!"

"Are you okay?"

He jumped off the sheep's back, checked the silly sheep, and then asked about Master Yiyun's injury. At this time, even Qi Bo jumped off the camel and ran over to care about Master Yiyun's injury.

"It's okay. Don't be nervous, Uncle Qi. It's just a normal burn. The wound will heal on its own soon." Mr. Yiyun shook his head and said that he was fine, and then he and Jin An studied the desert in front of them.

Jin An pondered for a moment, found a piece of dried meat from the luggage on the camel's back, then picked up the dried meat with the scabbard of Kunwu knife, and cautiously approached the place where the silly sheep was burned by the sun.

Zizzz!

The dried meat quickly scorched, shrank, and finally started to burn. If Jin An hadn't drawn the knife quickly, he might have caught fire with Kunwu's knife.

At this time, even Mr. Yiyun, Ai Maimaiti and the others tried the same method one by one. The final result was that the barbecue was quickly scorched and burned.

Jin An looked up at the sky. At this time, he couldn't look directly at the sun. When he looked up, there was only a vast expanse of white. If he forced himself to look at it, his eyes would feel intense discomfort and burning. If he continued to force himself to hold on, his eyes would probably burn out. .

Jin An told what he had discovered, and then looked around and said solemnly: "It seems that we are very close to the Kingdom of the Immortal God."

"Do you still remember the legend of the desert guardian clan?"

"There is a ghost mother buried in the Kingdom of the Immortal God. There is a black sun sealed in the wound in the ghost mother's heart. In this world, only the human heart and the sun cannot look directly at each other. We are very close to the Kingdom of the Immortal God. We follow this path If you continue along this ancient river, you will surely find the Kingdom of the Immortal God that no one has been able to find for thousands of years!"

"But the sunshine here is so hot that it can kill people. There is a wall of light that we can't see blocking us from moving forward! Ahead is a dangerous forbidden area filled with sun essence fire and samadhi true fire!"

"If we go on by force, we will definitely be burned alive in the forbidden area! The burned camel is an example!"

Next, several people began to test whether there was an end to the forbidden land of purgatory and whether they could take a detour. Naturally, in the end, their efforts were in vain.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, Mr. Yiyun, come quickly, Benny has made a new discovery over there!" Suddenly, Ayimaimaiti drove the camels and led people in a hurry in one direction.

When everyone arrived at the location, Ayimaimaiti called to Benny: "Benny, please tell Taoist Jin'an and Mr. Yiyun what you found."

Benny did not hesitate, he pointed in one direction and said what he found: "Look here, here, and there. There are several humanoid traces and camel traces on the desert. Does it look like people and camels were burned?" What’s left over?”

Looking in the direction of the finger, there are indeed black marks on the desert after several corpses were burned to ashes. Seeing that the black marks are basically complete and have not been messed up by the wind and sand, it can be deduced that the time of burning to death is still very close.

Definitely no more than three or four days.

"Could it be those people who came from the northern grasslands who walked in front of us? Like us, they accidentally broke into this hell without any precautions at the beginning?" Aheqi guessed a little nervously.

Hissed.

Take a breath of surprise.

"Even camel bones that are thicker than human bones can be burned into ashes. How terrifying is the temperature of the sunlight inside!" Ayimaimaiti said in shock.

At this time, Jin An frowned and thought, but did not join the discussion.

"Perhaps we can try it again at night. It's always dark in the desert. When the sun sets, we can change it to day and night..." Mr. Yiyun stopped mid-sentence, because even she felt that this method was a bit awkward. reluctantly.

"If you choose to stay out at night, you have to dig a deep sand pit to hide in before the sun comes up, then stay there for a day, and then move on at night. But there is a new problem here. Those camels will definitely bring them with them. If we don’t go in, we can only bring a small amount of water and food and pack lightly into the desert." Mr. Yiyun'e frowned.

"I have also considered this method... Do you think there is another reason why those grassland people returned to the Great Rift Valley with their camels, and then left the camels behind to enter the Buddhist Kingdom under the Great Rift Valley?" Jin An said Come up with your own ideas.

"For example, they also tried the method we thought of, but in the end they had no choice but to return to the Great Rift Valley and go deep into the desert through the Buddhist Kingdom of the Great Rift Valley?"

"My conjecture is not without purpose. The Great Rift Valley is very deep, and there are lush vegetation and ancient vines. It is most likely because the sunlight in it is not strong and the water evaporates slowly, which can provide us with protection from the burning of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire."

Although he knew that the Buddha Country might hide dangers more terrifying than those of the Wuer clan and the Baizu People, Jin An was more inclined to believe that the Buddha Country might be a safe way to continue deep into the desert.

The vast plain in front of us is no longer an Yadan landform, there are no mountain peaks, and there is nothing to hide from the shadows of the sunlight from the Nine Heavens Divine Fire. It is clearly a forbidden place created by someone.
