Chapter 1182 Suspicious Terrain
Xiaoyu Huaku and the Mu family brothers did their best to find all biographical books that involved memoirs.
Xiaoyu Huaku even found a few exercises for the Mu family brothers to transfer to the public. At that time, Mu Jianqiang said honestly: "Is this not good?"
Xiaoyu Huaku carelessly, patted his shoulder with a big knife in his hand: "I suspect that there is a record about quicksand in this exercise, take a look, look at the name of this exercise, 'Yellow Sand Flowing Strength', there is It’s sandy and flowing, isn’t it suspicious?”
Under this extremely responsible one-by-one screening, almost all the materials of Qitianzong have been read. With the assistance of Xiaoyu Huaku and the Mu brothers, Sun Hao also found a few suspicious areas, but these areas are all There is only one characteristic, and there is no place where both characteristics are present at the same time.
It stands to reason that the records in the classics are not groundless. There must be a lot of quicksand terrain near the weak water recorded by Qi Tianzong. Otherwise, weak water and quicksand will not be repeatedly mentioned in the classics.
So, is it that the mirage is not formed by weak water?
But Sun Hao felt that Jian Wushuang should not be aimless, and the information provided should be accurate.
But since the two regions cannot be unified, Sun Hao can only take a stupid way to check both regions one by one.
Sun Hao first picked up the materials and books on the mirage found in the desert.
Mirage is a rare natural spectacle even in the desert. In Qi Tianzong's classics, only five related records were found. Of course, it is very likely that there are more mirages that have not been recorded in the classics, and no monks have seen them. Time is very short, and there is no opportunity to see it at all.
There are five records of mirages, the most recent one being more than a thousand years ago.
It is recorded in the classics: "On the Changbei, towers, towers and city walls are reappeared, lifelike, as if monks were active in it, and then, when a strong wind blows, the mirage disappears with the wind."
Judging from the data, there have been mirages in Chang Bei, and more than once.
So logically, Chang Bei should be Sun Hao's first object of suspicion, but unfortunately, Xiaoyu Huaku pointed at Chang Bei carelessly and said: "Lord Chen Xiang, don't go to this place, it is now a In the small oasis, Qitian has set up a trading market, which is a place for bartering in the desert, if there is weak water there, I am afraid that you will scoop it up long ago."
Sun Hao nodded. Indeed, since Changbei is often visited by monks, it really cannot be the place where Ruoshui is located.
Looking up the records about the mirage again, Sun Hao found that out of the five times, three times belonged to Changbei, and the other two times were very long ago. Could not find its current specific location, only know a general direction.
Then there is the investigation of the quicksand area.
Compared with the rarity of mirages, quicksand areas are common in the desert, giving Sun Hao the feeling that the desert is almost everywhere.
In many materials, there will be records of monks encountering quicksand and fighting Shachong, ground tiger and so on.
It is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to check these places one by one.
Moreover, quicksand actually moves and changes.
Quicksand, to put it bluntly, means that when the water content of a loose sand belt reaches saturation, the sand will roll up. If the water captured by the sand cannot escape from it, it will form liquefied soil, which can no longer bear the weight. Ordinary sand becomes quicksand.
And when the climate changes, if a large amount of water in quicksand is lost, it will become ordinary loose sand again.
In other words, Sun Hao, who has practiced the water attribute technique, can create a large area of quicksand in the desert if he wants to.
Then, when weak water appears, it is easy to understand the situation accompanied by a large amount of quicksand.
Weak water contains abundant water.
It is enough to turn a large area of loose sand into a huge belt of quicksand, thus giving the monk an intuitive feeling that weak water appears with quicksand.
That being the case, Sun Hao first ruled out the records of the occurrence of smaller-scale quicksand.
The birth of weak water is bound to be accompanied by a lot of quicksand. This area should be quite large, and some quicksands that monks occasionally encounter during their adventures should not be included in this list.
Then, Sun Hao began to compare the times when the mirage appeared several times, looking for records about quicksand in the relevant time period.
Not long after, Sun Hao's first suspicious area finally came into view.
Dangqiu, also known as Dangzhou in ancient landforms, is a sand dune shaped like a giant boat.
Classical records: 2,500 years ago, a mirage appeared here.
And also 2,500 years ago, Sun Hao also found the records about the huge quicksand group in the desert.
The two records come from different classics, and both records are very simple, just one sentence.
However, Sun Hao felt that the appearance of mirages and quicksand areas at the same time was probably a birth of weak water.
Dangqiu? After Sun Hao determined the first point, Xiaoyu Huaku gestured on the crude sand table he had set up, and after a while, he pointed to a point on the sand table: "Dangzhou is probably at this position, if it weren't for him It just happened to be on the way to Changbei, and I didn't remember it for a while."
Sun Hao nodded, looked at the sand table, and found that the Xiaoyu chemical library had already made a mark on the lateral position representing the middle of Qitiansha City and Changbeifang City.
Judging from the marked position, Dangqiu is not on the straight line heading to Changbei, but slightly staggered by a line.
"How many days does it take from Shacheng to Dangqiu?" Sun Hao asked.
Xiaoyu Huaku said with a smile: "The desert is vast, no matter how far away I am on the sand table, but we have to walk with the sword, I am afraid it will take at least a month, and if we go to Changbei again, it will take more than ten days. "
Although he found the first suspicious terrain, Sun Hao still felt like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Instinctively, Sun Hao felt that his trip to the hills might not be very smooth, and he might lose his head.
It took another half a day, and Sun Hao used the same method again to find a very suspicious area.
Huang Ji, in the desert, there is a place farther and farther than Changbei, where mirages once appeared, and there are also records of quicksand.
When Xiaoyuhuaku pointed out Huang Ji, he couldn't help saying: "This place is quite remote, monks seldom go to it, and they may encounter powerful sand beasts."
But immediately, he looked at Sun Hao again and said: "Of course, any strong sand beast is not a problem in front of Lord Chen Xiang."
Sun Hao smiled indifferently and said: "Don't be so absolute, Xiaoku, you have to remember that monks of my generation should always be modest and cautious, and must not act carelessly in the slightest. Of course, monks of my generation should also be brave and diligent. Come on, Huang Ji, let's go and have a look."
"Okay", Xiaoyu Huaku stuck out his tongue, and then said: "Master Chen Xiang, I feel that Ruo Shui should be in this direction. Sir, please look, whether it is quicksand or mirage, they all appear here. In a huge desert."
On the sand table, Xiaoyuhuaku drew a large desert area with a swipe of his hand, pointed at this area, and said, "It should be this area."
Sun Hao nodded: "You are right. There are indications that Ruoshui is likely to be hidden in this area."
Mu Qiangqiang looked at the sand table, but shook his head: "It's too wide, too wide, such a large area, I don't know how long it will take to find it slowly."
Sun Hao frowned slightly, and then said: "Well, Yusha, you are more careful, you are the master, organize the two of them to draw out the general shape of this desert area for me, and then see if I can find a center point."
Mu Yusha said yes, and began to draft the terrain according to Sun Hao's explanation. It didn't take long for the three of them to come up with a general idea. It was still Xiaoyu Huaku who gave the lecture, pointed to the sand table, and began to introduce to Sun Hao: "From Going northwest from Shacheng, we first meet Dangqiu, then Changbei, and then Huangji, if the three are connected with a line, we find that the entire terrain looks like a huge shell."
Sun Hao nodded and didn't speak, but there was a movement in his heart. According to legend, weak water like tides can turn mirages into mirages, and mirages are the combination of shellfish and dragons, also known as mirage dragons.
At this time, Xiaoyuhuaku continued: "If you want to talk about the center of this shell, there are two places that can be counted. One is here, Changbei, which is the monk's square city; the other is here, Shahemen, which is equal to the sky. One of the affiliated sects..." (to be continued~^~.)
