Even in a world that is good at spiritual practice, the desert is a daunting place. No force is willing to claim the desert as its own territory. Not only will these "behemoths" never grow any grass, they will continue to annex the vegetation on its edges, which can be said to be a source of harm. And no benefit.
When Mu Ziyun and the others were still hundreds of feet away from the desert, they each thought of retreating. The sand was too hot and dry. Mu Ziyun was not afraid of fire, but this kind of place that could dehydrate creatures to dryness at any time also made them dry. Out of all the people, only the old man Reheman had brought enough dry food and water. The others had planned a "one-day" or "half-day" trip.
But when they got to the edge, there was no reason not to go in. Mu Ziyun told Hu Zi to control everyone tightly. After everyone entered the desert, no matter what they thought, they could not act alone, including Zhuan Wangxu, Zhuan The eyes of the two brothers Wang Dong and Fang Tianmu are responsible for searching for the sea of legends. Although Mu Ziyun's wind energy was greatly weakened by the balance, he could still feel the strong wind current within a radius of dozens of miles, which also provided a layer of guarantee for everyone's safety.
The old man Reheman said: "It's useless. As long as the wind in the desert blows, the speed will get faster and faster. It's okay to encounter the wind at the beginning. If it encounters the second half of the storm, the speed of the wind and sand can reach At the point where we are just a few breaths away, it will be too late to escape by then."
After half a stick of incense, Reheman pointed in a direction according to his memory, and Huzi used Chongyu to fly everyone into the desert about 400 feet in the air.
After entering the Zangbuga Desert, I discovered that the situation was much worse than imagined. The wind and sand at high altitudes were more violent. Not to mention dozens of miles, even the wind currents within five miles were unpredictable. Fang Tianmu's eyes could always see When you see the edge of the desert and fly forward, it is just that a new edge appears, but the appearance is the same yellow sand, and your eyes will become tired after a long time.
Muziyun used the flames to create dozens of clones, letting them spread forward in a fan shape to explore further ahead.
But at the wrong time, seven or eight of Mu Ziyun's flame clones suddenly disappeared. After Mu Ziyun sensed the wind flow again, he said in surprise: "No, I'm unlucky. It's a sandstorm. It's very fast. My clones didn't escape." , soon..." Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a layer of yellow sand coming from the horizon. The speed was too fast, and they didn't even think of hiding, and they came in front of them.
Fang Tianmu was the first to react. He pulled out the red sword shadow from the black sword "Great Destruction", then held the black sword handle horizontally in front of his chest with his left hand, and held the red sword shadow vertically in front of the black sword handle with his right hand. Fang Tian Mu's eyes turned cold, and the handles of the two knives were two inches apart. Then Fang Tianmu jumped out, and the storm was no more than a hundred feet away from everyone. When Fang Tianmu flew, the black knife pressed down and moved forward a short distance. Picking up, a crack in the underworld appeared on the side in front of him. It was very narrow, and the evil ghosts could not penetrate it. When Fang Tianmu passed the crack, he drew the tip of the red knife shadow into the crack in the underworld, and then murmured something : "Ghost Rakshasa!" At the same time, a cloud of gray mist appeared behind him.
In a sudden moment, the storm that swept in front of everyone was cut open by a purple-black sword exuding a cold aura, providing everyone with a short period of safety. Fang Tianmu retreated and disappeared with everyone. In the gray mist, everyone immediately saw the stars in the sky. It turned out that it was the world of stars embodied by Fang Tianmu's eyes. No one was among them, and the gray mist was being violently beaten by the strong storm outside. Fang Tianmu calmly held on to prevent the gray mist from dispersing, but he could not keep it in place.
Although the energy level was weakened by the forced balance of this world, Fang Tianmu still seemed so reliable anytime and anywhere. Soon after, the star world returned to Fang Tianmu's eyes. No one was hurt, but what was worse was that the gray mist was It was blown far away. This was also a kind of helplessness similar to the technique of incorporeal body. When being affected by the same insubstantial thing, one would often fall into passivity.
Now it was no longer clear to distinguish between east, west, north and south. Huzi led the crowd to fly in the direction they might have come from for a while, but still did not see the edge of the desert. The old man Reheman quickly stopped everyone and said to find the way back now. It is unwise. In the desert, you can only roughly judge the direction by the position of the sun. Now that the sun is tilted to the lower part of the sky on the left, then the left should be south. When everyone came in, they were walking towards the north, so The way back should be on the left, not in front of you. Reheman originally wanted to speak out earlier, but the previous scenes had stunned this mortal who had never practiced Buddhism. He also thought that these gods would have extraordinary abilities, but he did not expect that they could not even distinguish directions.
Huzi then turned his head and headed towards the depths of the desert on the right. As a result, during this walk, it was dark all the way, and the sunset had already appeared. During this period, everyone encountered more than 70 sandstorms, large and small, and the direction became very confusing. Now, not to mention finding the legendary sea, they didn't even know how to get out. All have become problems.
Reheman drank all the water he brought in half a day. It was too hot in the desert, and the water in the human body evaporated much faster than expected. Fortunately, Du Xiaoyue took out the crystal bottle and poured out the sea water. , and then Muziyun used fire to speed up the evaporation of sea water, and the kite used the water vapor to create a leaf on his arm, and the leaves dripped edible water downwards, which can also help everyone block the sun.
The night in the desert was more terrifying than the day. The storm did not stop, but the temperature dropped to an extremely low level. Muziyun lit up flames to help everyone keep warm. But there was no way to continue like this. Half of the people started to retreat. Huzi led everyone to the ground. He was also very tired, but the sand was always flowing. They couldn't stay in one place for too long, so they took a short rest. He flew into the sky again. He didn't need to be carried by Hu Zi if he could fly by himself, which reduced the pressure on Hu Zi. But when the storm came again, if Fang Tianmu's star world didn't open in time, everyone might be blown away. Once the storm came, everyone might be blown away. If they spread out, the trouble would be even greater.
Mu Ziyun laughed at himself: "I defeated such a strong man, but I couldn't conquer the natural world."
When the situation was serious, Zhuan Wangdong suddenly brought good news to everyone. He was pleasantly surprised to sense a sudden large-scale aura similar to spiritual power. After that, he began to lead the way, and everyone flew overnight. But that spiritual power field suddenly disappeared as soon as the sun appeared on the horizon the next day, and everyone walked forward a hundred miles in the original direction.
The old man Reheman was very excited. He thought that what Zhuan Wangdong felt was the legendary sea, because the sea looked exactly like the desert during the day, and only at night could miracles occur.
Everyone was dubious and walked for more than ten miles before finally stopping. It was really time to rest for a while.
Old man Reheman suggested that everyone should not move today and wait until night. Only when it gets dark can everyone know whether they are standing at the sea.
The water in Du Xiaoyue's crystal bottle cannot be wasted casually, because without the sea water, Du Xiaoyue will be in danger.
At noon, the kite suddenly gathered everyone together and said mysteriously: "I think this may really be the place we are looking for. Look." She buried a seed in the yellow sand, and then The palm of the hand conveys the energy of the "wood" element downward. After a long time, slowly, the sand is penetrated by a bud and quickly grows into a twig.
"How could there be water under the sand?" Zhuan Wangdong wondered, "If there was water, it wouldn't be sand."
The kite replied: "It's very deep, it's soil instead of sand. You can't see the roots of this sapling. It's already dozens of feet long. It draws water from very deep places, but there is indeed water. It can That’s enough to afford a small jungle.”
Everyone waited with great anticipation until the evening. The desert was no longer so hot, but it was still very dry. Mu Ziyun walked to sit down next to the old man Reheman and asked: "Old man, if this is not the place, where should we go?"
Reheman calmly replied: "If not, we will survive the night, and then when the sun comes out, we can go south. As long as we can survive."
"Okay." Mu Ziyun nodded and agreed.
Just when the light of the sun completely disappeared from the world, the dream-like miracle actually happened in front of everyone. The legend was not false, and the old man did not lie. Not only did everyone see the sea, they were also in the ocean. . There may be very few people who can believe such a scene until they see it with their own eyes, just like Mu Ziyun and Fang Tianmu, who are now shocked by the scene in front of them.
Countless ancient ocean creatures were swimming around them. Although they were all in the form of souls, they were vividly alive. The souls of each ocean creature would emit faint light of different colors, and the sand under their feet became the seabed. They could feel the coolness of the sea water and the surging currents of the orange-red shimmering earth and rocks, but the water was also like a soul.
Everyone was fascinated by the sight. Those creatures may be the ancestors of today's living creatures. They retain their most primitive appearance. Sharks with tiger heads and lizard tails are hunting a group of yellow-fin hairtail fish and an ancient scaly whale that is dozens of feet long. Like a dark cloud covering the sky, it floated over everyone's heads. A creature that looked like a scorpion but also a ladybug was burrowing around in the earth and rocks on the seabed. There was a kind of fish that looked like today's aquatic plants. Three or five of them clung to it. Together, they will continuously spit out bubbles to attract another small finger-sized sea insect, and then take the opportunity to prey on it. It seems that all living creatures and souls, including seawater, are living according to the time they were alive. It seems that no one has disappeared or left. On the contrary, these foreign creatures seemed to be aliens, and everyone was fascinated by them. Old man Reheman knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, muttering something in his mouth.
And through the phantom-like but very realistic sea water, everyone was surprised to find that there were colorful lights hanging down from the sky, like lightning, but not so arrogant, like rivers hanging upside down, flowing down from the sky. Then flowing back from mid-air, it is very beautiful.
