Li Shi was put through a lot of trouble today. Her body was still in the adaptation period, but she took a bite after traveling for so long. She must have been very uncomfortable at this time, so I controlled the water element and condensed it on her body. It formed a blister, and the power of water lifted her up.
"...Why didn't you help me earlier." Sitting in the bubble, Li Shi was surprised at first, and then started to blame me.
"Then you are wrong. If it weren't for your injury and lack of physical strength, I wouldn't have summoned the water element to do such a thing. Besides, you have just adapted to a new body, don't you want to test it? Let me ask you, what is the limit of this body?"
"Forget it... I still need some time to adapt..." Li Shi simply lay on her back in the bubble, looking very enjoying it.
"Xianmu, where is the door you mentioned? Why do we only see the lake?"
"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Xianmu smiled mysteriously, and then they worked together to dig out two dead trees by the lake that were mostly submerged in the sand. After turning the branches over, they saw that the other side was covered in the sand. It was hollowed out. No wonder it took just a few of them to dig out such a thick piece of dead wood. If it had been solid wood, maybe ten people wouldn't have been able to lift it out.
"Come up!"
They pushed the wood into the water, and then climbed into the middle of the wood. The tree trunk immediately turned into a mini dragon boat, which could seat four or five people in an upright position.
"Please wait!" I heard a small but urgent voice. When I looked back, I saw that the snake had crawled to the edge of the lake. It turned out to be it calling me.
"What's wrong? The person you bitten has been cured, and you can return to your own peace."
"No, I want to ask you to give me a human body!"
"You are obsessed with thinking that you are a snake, so you have been born in the womb of snakes in every life. Now that you are tired of snake bodies and have made a wish to get a human body, you will definitely get your wish."
"But you can help me! I'm ready. Please let me be reincarnated now!"
I crouched down and watched it spit out a silky message, "Now is not the time. You still have unfinished fate as a snake body. When those fates are over, you will naturally shed the snake body. You can stay here with peace of mind." That’s good.”
"Zhang Xiyuan! Hurry up!" Li Shi called my name from the bubble.
"Yes, the moon is about to set!" Xianmu also urged.
"Don't worry, we will meet again." After saying that, I stepped onto the boat made of branches.
The Hobbit paddled the water in the lake with his hands, and drove the boat toward the center of the lake. On the shore, it felt like it was just a lake, but after entering the lake, he felt that the lake was so vast!
This tree trunk looks like it's hundreds of years old, and the hollowed out space in the middle for people to sit on has some patina. It would take at least a hundred years for a tree to grow so thick. Sitting on a tree wrapped in a tree trunk In the seats, although there are many people and it is a bit crowded, the heart is very peaceful. The precipitation of the trees gives people a sense of stability, etc.! The size of this tree trunk includes the hole dug out in the middle...the boat coffin! That’s right! Both in size and structure, they are exactly the same as the boat coffins that sealed the mummies in that dimension. Even the tree, if I remember correctly, is the same species in both species. It is the only Populus euphratica that can grow in the desert. Tree!
I feel like I will soon be able to find the connection between these two dimensions!
The Hobbit's arms moved quickly, and after a while, the two boats came to the center of the lake. This was the center of the moonlight reflection on the lake. On the calm lake, a bright moon was very close at hand, but in this lake In the middle of the moon, there is an outline of a door!
I looked up at the full moon above my head, and then at the moon in the lake. This door was not a reflection, but an image on the lake itself!
The wooden boat that Xianmu was riding in first slid into the reflection of the moon, crushing the moon in the water to pieces, turning into dots of light that decorated the door. Then, with a plop, Xianmu and their wooden boat turned 180°. It turned over, and the people sitting in the trunk disappeared from the water!
Li Shi was startled, and I quickly took back the water element and pulled her into the wooden boat we were sitting in. It seemed that this small boat was still the key to entering the Desert Gate!
We also paddled within the door frame. At this moment, I felt no less excited than when riding a roller coaster, about to reach its peak!
"kata"
I clearly heard the sound of turning the door lock, and at the same time, the cold lake water poured down from my head. When I opened my eyes again, I was still sitting in the small boat, surrounded by the moonlit lake.
"Eh?" Li Shi felt much better after being poured with water from the lake, "Why are we still where we are?"
"Are you taking a good look around?"
At the reminder of the fairy tree, I looked around, and all the sand dunes around me disappeared! Not only that, the cool air in the water was replaced by layers of heat waves! "We are now on the other side of the desert."
"The other end of the desert?" Li Shi was still a little confused, so I felt that the magnetic field around me had completely changed!
"It's not the other end of the desert, it's the other end of the desert across the earth. This Desert Gate connects the ocean and the desert, and now we are in the Paracel Islands."
"Oh my god! There is such a mystery on earth! Seniors have never mentioned it before!" Li Shi was greatly surprised! Not to mention Li Shi, even I didn’t know there was such a place on earth!
No wonder the surrounding temperature has increased by more than 20 degrees. It was still winter just now, but now it’s summer!
Xianmu took out a box, which was a compass specially made by their tribe. It was very similar to our compass. After determining the direction, she pointed to a place, "Let's go ashore from there."
When the boat reached the shore, it could no longer row. "We have to get off the boat."
So everyone stepped into the sea. Fortunately, the water was not deep, but very salty. With the secret help of Haliya, I slowly floated to the shore. Looking back, the two small wooden boats seemed to be attracted by the moonlight. Little by little, I drifted into the sea. The moment the moon sank into the sea, the boat disappeared quickly.
Everyone climbed onto the beach. They were all exhausted. After first experiencing the fight and then trekking for so long, they all collapsed on the beach, waiting for the first ray of sunlight to shine.
"The Rurda people are probably still searching for our whereabouts in the mountains right now. They never imagined that we are already hundreds of thousands of miles away from them!" Li Shi smiled hiccups.
"Xianmu, why does your tribe have the blessing of land?"
"A long time ago, the gods came to the earth and gave humans in every direction a duty. We call them 'Guardians'."
"For the Indians, that is, the red people, he asked them to be the guardians of the land. They should understand the knowledge of the earth. Plants grow and bear fruit from the earth to provide human food, and herbs can be used to treat diseases. We put these Knowledge is shared with other brothers and sisters at the same time.”
"For the yellow people in the south, they will be the guardians of the wind. They will understand the sky and breathing, and use it to help the progress of Qigong practice. They will share these. "
"So since then, we have had the blessing of the land, which is also a responsibility. Now that we have reached a critical moment for human existence, we must step forward and find other guardians."
