Chapter 656: The River in the Stone

Since the tree is the base of the Sky-supporting Jade Pillar, there should be a lot of Sky-supporting Stones nearby. This is the best news since entering Southern Xinjiang.

But on second thought, if there are a lot of Sky-supporting Stones nearby, why would the Heavenly Wolf Sect go to the Central Plains?

Legends are likely to be spread to an outrageous degree over a long period of time, so the credibility is still questionable.

In any case, it is good news that we are about to reach Baofeng Village. At least this journey of thousands of miles must be explained.

Ran Xiaoyi has obviously come here more than once or twice. After telling others about the legend, he immediately added:

"You can see Baofeng Village after crossing the hill in front of the tree, but there are people from Baofeng Village everywhere. We have to wait until nightfall to get in."

"Then how should we get in? Change into their clothes?"

Apart from anything else, the appearance of people in the Central Plains is quite different from that of people in Southern Xinjiang. It seems that it is not easy to get in just by changing clothes.

"Because the roots of the big trees go deep into the ground, there are many secret passages nearby. I know a few of them that can lead directly to Baofeng Village. We can sneak in to investigate."

Aren't you from Qingzhu Village?

How do you know the secret passages of Baofeng Village?

"I always went to see my sister through the secret passages before. I hope they haven't sealed the secret passages."

Wuzhu is very special in a village in southern Xinjiang, especially when he has not yet fully taken over the duties of Wuzhu. He will not easily leave the village or meet outsiders, even if the outsider is his own sister.

So when Baofeng Village asked Ran Xiaoyi's sister to leave, she could only communicate with her sister through letters. If she wanted to meet, she could not go openly, but could only go through the secret passages.

The people in Baofeng Village also knew this. The secret passages were actually told to Ran Xiaoyi by them. After all, rules are dead, people are alive, as long as they don't violate them on the surface.

Speaking of her sister, Ran Xiaoyi's face was worried again. Her sister's recent abnormal behavior made her very uneasy, and she wanted to meet her sister several times during this period, but was rejected.

But we can't be in a hurry, and we have to wait until dark to take the secret passage.

"Let's take a break here and eat something."

Everyone dispersed and found a place to sit down and rest.

Speaking of food, this is the most uncomfortable thing for these people from the Central Plains.

When the Central Plains people go out, they carry dry food with them, such as dry bread, dry steamed buns, and occasionally some dried meat and dried fruits.

It's not delicious, but it's okay.

When the people of Southern Xinjiang go out, they either bring rice cakes that are hard to bite, or they just bring a bag of rice and find some bamboo as cooking utensils to cook bamboo tube rice.

Now it is definitely impossible to make a fire, so we can only bite the hard rice cakes.

As for dried meat, there are indeed some.

They like to carry dried lizards that are marinated and dried, and it takes some psychological preparation for the Central Plains people to eat this thing.

Anyway, most of the time, no one dares to eat it.

Yang Yiyi was the same. She held the rice cake and ate it hard, and from time to time she picked up the water bag and poured it into her mouth. Every time she did this, she began to miss the spicy hot pot base that Li Chengxi gave her...

The products of the modern food industry can beat all the handmade products in ancient times. The energy density, nutritional content, and the most direct taste are not what Yang Yiyi's productivity can achieve.

Let alone other things, the spices alone are enough to make the spicy hot pot base a tribute.

But Li Chengxi couldn't take out a self-heating hot pot for her at this time, right?

After a simple lunch, Yang Yiyi had a good tooth and ate the fastest. She got up and walked around to digest.

At this time, a loud bang came from a distance. At first, everyone thought it was going to rain again, but when they looked up, there were no dark clouds in the sky.

"Look at the top of the mountain! On the left!"

Everyone looked in the direction Wu Shaoyi pointed, and saw that the mountain on the left side of the field of vision was rolling down the slope, crushing all the trees blocking the road.

At this time, the rumbling sound entered everyone's ears. The soil and rocks were like an avalanche, and most of the mountain was about to slide down.

But this side was safe and not affected.

It was fine and it didn't rain, so how could there be a landslide?

Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't care too much until Qin Yan said:

"Look at the bottom of the mountain, is there anyone over there?"

Through the gaps in the shade of the trees, you can really see a group of human-like shadows, which are reflected on the cliffs on the other side through diffuse reflection, so you can see them.

The figure was panicked and seemed to be running around.

If you look closely, you will find that the hair buns of those figures look like the style of people from the Central Plains.

"Maybe Sister Ning and the others! Let's go and take a look!"

Thinking that Ning Xian'er might have investigated the vicinity of Baofeng Village, Yang Yiyi was anxious at the time, and rushed out with a brisk step, disappearing under the cover of vegetation.

The others were a step slower, but they followed immediately.

Following the direction of the landslide, they quickly passed through the forest. When they were on the side of the mountain, they saw a huge crab poking above the landslide, constantly throwing mud and rocks down like lying on the sand.

It's a big crab!

This landslide must not be accidental!

Thinking of this, everyone became more anxious. Could it be that the mudslide was really used to deal with the martial artists near Baofeng Village?

Everyone quickened their pace and rushed out of the woods at a high speed.

At this time, they came to a natural stone bridge, which spanned a river valley created by the impact of the water flow. However, one end of this river valley was a dead end, and the other end was blocked by mudslides.

The river valley was hundreds of feet high, as if it was cut by a knife and an axe, straight up and down. The shadows seen before were reflected on the rock wall on one side of the river valley.

The owner of the shadow was at the other end of the field of vision, fleeing from the impact of the mudslide at a high speed. Although his face was completely unclear, it was true that everyone was dressed like a Central Plains person.

The good news is that, as of now, the mudslide can't catch up with the Qinggong of this group of people. After all, the mudslide caused by the big crab is not that large in scale.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and planned to find a place to ask later.

But at this time, Ran Xiaoyi suddenly said:

"It's bad. It's flood season now. The Stone River will open at this time."

Ran Xiaoyi's words made the surrounding people from the Central Plains wonder, what is the Stone River?

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard another explosion, the sound came from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw that at the dead end of the valley, the rock wall suddenly exploded, and a huge stream of water gushed out. Under the impact of the water flow, the cracks were rapidly expanding, and more and more water poured in, like a dam bursting.

Now, they know what the river in the stone is.

The terrain of southern Xinjiang is complex and the waterways are crisscrossed. This complexity is not just the surface appearance of many mountains and water.

The impact of rainwater all year round has made the underground of southern Xinjiang full of caves and underground rivers.

The river in the stone mentioned by Ran Xiaoyi is a river that only appears when southern Xinjiang enters a period of abundant rain.

Simply put, it is when the rain enters the ground, and the result is too much, and every time this happens, it will spray out of the stone.

It's roughly like when it rains too much, the city's sewer system will surge up with rainwater.

——It's a bit disgusting to say that.
