2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 56 The Jiangmen Inn in the Desert
Leaving Sanyuan County all the way to the north, one hundred miles out of Shuangling Pass, you came to the North Xinjiang Desert.

In fact, [-] miles to the north of Shuangling Pass is already covered with billowing yellow sand. When the wind blows, the sky will be filled with dust and fog, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

However, since there are still post roads on the road from twenty miles to one hundred miles away, it is still considered the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

After passing the Jiangmen post a hundred miles away, there will be no traces of the Central Plains Dynasty.

This is the news that Du Heng inquired before leaving Shuangling Pass.

But when he really came to this hundred-mile yellow sand road, he found that the facts were completely inconsistent with the news.

Are there any other stops along the way?
Not to mention a hundred miles, twenty miles, as long as you leave Shuangling Pass, there will be a piece of yellow sand without hair.

Under the sunset, the sky and the earth are one color.

Du Heng walked with the horse, as if covered with a golden glow.

Now he has led the horse for more than 30 miles without seeing anything.

At most, you can see some ruins of post stations buried by yellow sand.

Obviously, no one has taken care of this section of the road for a long time, and the Zhao court seems to have no energy to take care of it. The territory of hundreds of miles has basically been abandoned.

Ordinary pedestrians should panic at this time. If they go any further, they may die in the desert without water and food supplies.

Du Heng, on the other hand, was quite relaxed. He walked slowly with his horse in the yard, feeling the desert scene in front of him, imprinting everything he saw in his mind as much as possible.

This is the basis of "Na Jing".

Every time he walks a distance, he can feel that the image of his imprint becomes more comprehensive and complete.

If building an earth temple is really compared to building a house, what Du Heng is doing now is drawing design drawings.

When he was fifty miles away from Shuangling Pass, Du Heng saw the whirlwind in the northwest rolling up the rolling yellow sand straight into the sky, and he couldn't help but sighed: "The desert is solitary, and the long river falls into the sun."

While reciting poems, his state of mind changed accordingly.

The desert scene imprinted by the memory just now added a few vivid moods, shortening the distance from the completion of the "design drawing" by a big step.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is the first image of the earth scene I condensed, and I need two more to start building the temple." Du Heng realized something in his heart, and a sense of joy spontaneously emerged. .

According to his previous experience in building water temples, to accommodate a certain scene of the Five Elements requires a "design drawing" first, and then visualize the "design drawing" in his mind, and guide the corresponding Qi of the Five Elements to build the temple.

The key to constructing this "design drawing" is to condense three key images.

The type of this imagery depends on the scene of the Five Elements to be accommodated.

Different scenes require different types of imagery.

When Du Heng accepted the sea as a scene of water, the three images he condensed were——

The boundless sea, the sea and the sky are united, and the moon is bright on the sea.

Each image can be manifested into a substantial vision, exerting different powers.

However, he can only manifest one image at a time before giving birth to the water god.

Not only are there fewer changes, but the power is also much weaker.

Now Du Heng wants to accept the desert as the scene of the earth and use it to build the earth temple. Naturally, he also needs to condense three kinds of images.

Now it has condensed into one.

As for what the remaining two images will be, he still only has some vague concepts, and he needs to walk further in the desert to really be sure.

For Du Heng at this time, as long as he is walking in the desert, as long as he is watching the scene of the desert, he is practicing and improving his cultivation.

"In my current state, I can just travel in the desert. It would be best if I can meet Junior Sister Huaixi. If I don't, I'll wait until she returns."

Du Heng thought to himself.

After communicating with Lu Yuzhu in Sanyuan County, he left there directly and headed for the northern Xinjiang desert.

Not to find Jiang Huaixi.

But for his own practice, in order to increase his strength as soon as possible.

That's the most important thing.

In this way, Du Heng came to a place hundreds of miles away from Shuangling Pass step by step.

At this time, the moon is high and the stars are shining.

There used to be a Jiangmen post here, but of course this post has disappeared now.

But here is not nothing.

Today, a dilapidated house is being built where the Jiangmen Station used to be.

There is a flag floating outside the house with four large characters written on it.

Jiangmen Inn.

Apparently, the state-owned enterprise has been converted into a private business, and it has become a personal business.

However, standing outside, Du Heng felt that the atmosphere of the inn was not quite right.

This place is hundreds of miles away from Shuangling Pass, and there is no post station along the way, and it may not be possible for a person to pass by here in ten and a half months.

How does this Jiangmen Inn make money here?

It can't be generating electricity for love.

"It makes people curious." Du Heng stared at the inn for a while, then shook his head, turned around and led the horse to continue walking forward, intending to leave here.

Curiosity is curiosity, he still doesn't want to cause trouble.

The inn in this kind of place is not very peaceful at first glance, maybe it is the Longmen Inn in this world.

Definitely better not to go.

But before he had gone far, he heard a familiar voice from the inn, "Brother Xu Jing, are you Brother Xu Jing?"

Du Heng was taken aback when he heard the words, stopped and looked back, and saw a young man looking at him with surprise.

It was the sailor He Qing who he met on the boat a few days ago.

"Are you here too?" Du Heng led the horse and turned around, and asked with some doubts, "Aren't you going to deliver goods in Yongzhou? Why are you here?"

"I'm not too sure about this." He Qing scratched his head and said, "I heard from the bow of our boat that the leader of the gang suddenly ordered us to gather at the Jiangmen Inn, probably to pick up some special products from the desert. Brother Xu Jing, what are you doing here?"

"Hmm..." Du Heng thought for a while, then smiled, "Send the fish."

Talking about travel and practice seems too mysterious, and he still likes to talk casually with He Qing.

"Ah?" He Qing blinked his eyes when he heard the words, and really couldn't figure out how to send the fish to the desert full of yellow sand.

Wouldn't it turn into dried fish?
However, he didn't care about it, and after looking at the sky, he continued: "Brother Xu Jing, it's so late, you still have to continue on your way.

"I heard that the desert is frighteningly cold at night. If you accidentally fall asleep, you may freeze to death. Why don't you stay here for a night before leaving?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something again, and said happily, "Brother Xu Jing, you don't know, the shopkeeper of this Jiangmen Inn is a woman, about 30 years old.

"I heard that she is very powerful, very powerful!"
