From the town of Usa to the Bunazik Desert, there are land and water routes.
The land route is to pass through the towns of Neil and Hartig, and then pass through a section of "stone wilderness" area, passing through a city "Melloi", and then enter the northern part of the desert. If you go fast, the journey will take about a month. This road is very long, but relatively safe.
The waterway goes west from the Skye River, passes through Mount Lellion, and directly reaches the eastern part of the desert from the river. If it is fast, it will only take about ten days, but this road has many unknown dangers, especially a section of the river passes through the grassland, and passing merchant ships are often attacked by the Osalans.
In order to hurry, Gu Jun chose the waterway.
He left Ulthar with quite a few doubts.
He wanted to go to Hartig-Kola Mountain to see the mysterious giant seal on the top of the mountain, and wanted to learn more about the dream world from Atal or the ancestor. But going back to the earth world is the first task. More knowledge may make it impossible for him to leave, so he deliberately does not understand.
As for what those sacred objects were, Peacock refused to say, but said: "You will know when you get there." It seemed that it was to trick him.
The vines on his feet, the ancestors said that they were a kind of plant called "life-eating vines", which could form a body with flesh and blood creatures.
The kind mastered by Zu Ge is the mild type, and it is called fierce in the life-eating vine forest in the eastern continent, where the vines capture all kinds of passing creatures, and the human beings are the most, some people are still conscious, but they can only I can't move even if I stay there.
It shouldn't happen biologically, but this is the dream world, and there are laws here.
"These gentle vines are part of your body." The ancestors said, "Actually, you can control them. If you don't believe me, try it."
Gu Jun made this attempt and concentrated his mind on them, and he could indeed control them to swing. The vines are like more limbs.
This seems to be... somehow useful. But he knows that this thing is also eroding and changing him, the structure determines the function, and perhaps also determines the human nature.
So he still asked the ancestors to remove it for him. The ancestors asked him to take a kind of medicinal wine called "Tui Teng Wine", saying that after drinking this wine for a few days, the life-eating vines in his body would die naturally, so there was no need to hurt his muscles and bones.
Gu Jun adopted this plan, but asked the ancestors to accompany each other and drink this wine for five consecutive days. I did animal experiments, and then the human experiments where peacocks participated, but nothing happened, so I started taking it myself.
"Mr. Nightmare Man, I am very honored to test the medicine for you." Peacock volunteered and did not hide his thoughts: "I only hope that my small service can give you more respect for our tribe." good impression."
She was different from Mo Qing, Mo Qing still had a kind of stubbornness, and didn't say much.
Peacock is the kind of person who is willing to give everything, even if she suffers humiliation, she will not back down.
Gu Jun respects such people very much, and he has no malice toward them, and if he makes things difficult on purpose, it is just for the sake of probing. He has never let down his vigilance. This group of people may be some kind of evil believer at any time, and they are leading him into a trap.
The tranquility of the three towns of Usha was a coincidence. The merchant ship they took had just entered the area of Leleon Mountain, and the environment suddenly became harsh.
There are thunders and rumbles on the top of Mount Leyleung all year round, and the never-ending torrential rain continues to wash away the virgin rainforest. On the seventh day, as the merchant ship got closer to the southwest, I saw the vast grassland, with tall weeds blocking all sight, and the danger multiplied a hundredfold.
"When we were young, we all wanted to burn this grassland with a fire, so that no Osalans would come to harass us."
Peacock talked about a small past event, "The grown-ups say it can't be done, it can't be burned. But we don't believe it, look at these grasses, a little fire can burn them into a sea of flames."
"En." Gu Jun knew that yes, it was already entering autumn, and the weeds were turning yellow and flammable, and there seemed to be no rain here.
"Then the few of us..." Peacock shook his head and laughed a few times, "Me, Mo Qing, Jin Zhuzi, Shuiyu and the others sneaked out of the tribe and walked for three days to the edge of the grassland. We set fire to the edge of the grassland. Oh, it burned so big...it was really a sea of fire. When we went back, we were so happy that we didn't have to sleep."
She paused at this point, her tone became lonely, "But the Osalans still came that year."
Gu Jun heard silence, and after getting along these days, he can feel the truth of the other party's emotions more and more...
As for the homeless, he had asked the ancestors in front of the two peacocks.
"The Earth Wanderers are a bunch of weirdos." The patriarch's slapping sound seemed a bit incomprehensible, "We don't understand them."
Is there anything Zu Ge doesn't know? He asked the reason carefully, and the ancestors each said: "Their settlement is very secret, it is very difficult to find, even if you find it, you can't get close."
"Our tribe has always been heavily guarded." Peacock explained, "With all due respect, no tribe would welcome a sneaky visit from Zug. Otherwise, all our defensive strategies would be in the hands of the Osalans the next day." .We're going to make sure that not even a mouse can get in there."
"But you are too strict." The ancestors were quite emotional, "But it is also my first time in Bunazik, so let's see how you guard against it this time."
Peacock was right, Gu Jun felt that if he was the patriarch, he would have to keep these rats away.
On the eighth day, after they disembarked from the merchant ship at the mouth of the river, they turned to driving a camel caravan and moved forward in the hot yellow desert.
It was more than two days' journey, the closer they got to the settlement of the tribe, the more nervous, expectant and enthusiastic Peacock and Mo Qing were, their eyes were always bright.
Gu Jun also has this kind of complicated mood, maybe even more complicated than theirs. What is the origin of this tribe? The vicissitudes of life? future? parallel world
After these ten days, he has basically believed that he can help as much as he can. Like Peacock said, he and them are of the same clan after all.
He couldn't figure out anything about the "Nakt Manuscript", maybe those doctors and wise men could
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the undulating yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see, and the camels stepped on a series of footprints, pulling the caravan forward.
"Mr. Nightmare Man, look, that's over there! Our Tinder City." At this moment, Peacock said excitedly, and suddenly saw something, and shouted: "Little Baitang!" She introduced with a smile: "That little guy It's called Baitang, our clan sister."
The peacock jumped out of the caravan vigorously and ran over, "Xiao Baitang, hurry up and notify the city that a distinguished guest is coming! Of course I bought you a gift, I bought it at Dilaas-Lin, look." She took out a The puppy doll handed it forward, "Here you are."
"Little White Tang!" Mo Qing, who was driving the caravan, also laughed, "The price of that pottery puppet is even more expensive than a real dog."
They were elated, but inside the carriage, Gu Jun's heart sank to the abyss, he stared at the surroundings...
There were no children ahead. There are no clan towns ahead.
There are not even some broken walls, only a small lake that is almost dry, and a pile of rocks and weeds.
Peacock let go, and the puppy Tao puppet fell onto the yellow sand. She was still smiling and said, "Don't listen to Mo Qing, don't care about the price, as long as you like it."
"There are some weird people." The ancestors who were also in the carriage said, "That's where they live, but our ancestors have never been able to find anyone."
