Others also knelt down one after another to express their gratitude to Jin An.

Jin'an is the god they have been praying for. Only gods can create such a miracle and create such clear water in the desert.

Jin'an asked Yali and others to help lift up the villagers, and then patiently explained: "Actually, I didn't do much. The water in this well itself has not dried up, it is just blocked by silt."

Although Jin An spoke lightly, the villagers of Teshsata Village had already learned about the entire well digging process through Yali's mouth, knew the dangers involved, and had been constantly expressing their gratitude to Jin An.

"Sadiq and Sahafu met a noble man this time. Taoist priest Jin'an, you are the great nobleman of our Teshisata village! It is Sadiq and Sahab's blessing to know Taoist Jin'an, and it is also our Teshisa

What a blessing to Tacun!" Sadiq's mother, the old woman, held Jin An's hand tightly and kept thanking her.

This night, there was a grand bonfire in Teshsata Village.

The villagers sang and danced around Jin An and others. They took out satas, tambourines, and nagna drums, and welcomed Jin An who came from afar with the unique enthusiasm of desert children.

Some villagers dug out their hidden cellars, took out the few meats they had, and entertained Jin'an as much as they could, showing the desert people the same enthusiasm as the desert sun.

Jin'an was infected by these atmospheres, so he asked Yali to take some dried meat and goat's milk wine from the camel's back to distribute to the villagers, because he could see that these villagers were skinny and had dry and dull skin, which showed that they were suffering from long-term hunger and malnutrition.

sequelae.

When the bonfire party was coming to an end and everyone was eating and drinking, Jin An curiously asked why the villagers were not in the village during the day and did not return until night.

Is it because the village is short of water and has to go out to find new water sources?

If we are going out of the village to find water, shouldn't the whole village go out, and even the infant baby should be taken with them, right?

When Jin An raised this question, the villagers who were laughing and drinking goat's milk wine fell into collective silence, with scruples on their faces.

With a helpless sigh, the patriarch of Teshsata Village told the truth: "Going south along the desert, you will encounter a collapsed small poplar tree. Under the small poplar tree, there is a hidden cave with the ruins of an ancient country. During the day, we

Hiding there, I only dare to return to the village after dark."

Jin An was startled when he heard this.

He could still understand leaving the village at night and hiding outside during the day.

He leaves the village during the day and comes back at night. What's going on?

The patriarch of Teshsata Village is an old man who is very old and looks like a skeleton due to long-term labor and malnutrition.

The old patriarch saw the confusion in Jin An's eyes and began to reveal the secret.

"Since about half a year ago, the depths of the desert have no longer been peaceful. There are always waves of people entering the depths of the desert."

"Those of us who have lived here for generations naturally know what is in the depths of the desert. Those people are rushing to the Kingdom of the Immortal God. There is the art of immortality in the Kingdom of the Immortal God. There is gold everywhere in the Kingdom of the Immortal God.

There are immortals and treasures, which attract groups of people to go deep into the desert every year to search. After this group of people die, another group of people will continue to search in the desert... Just like in the past thousand years, no one has stopped searching in the desert.

The legendary Kingdom of the Immortal God, but no one has ever found the Kingdom of the Immortal God.”

"But starting from half a year ago, the number of people entering and leaving the depths of the desert has become more and more frequent, far more than in the past...Looking at this situation, it seems that someone has made some important discovery in the depths of the desert, which is why so many people have been attracted into the desert.

There are Han people, people from the Western Regions, nomadic tribesmen from the far north, sand pirates, treasure thieves, and other people who deliberately pretend to be merchants from the Western Regions... It seems that they all piled up into the depths of the desert at once.

Hurry.”

"The reason why our whole family is hiding outside starts from a month ago. About a month ago, a group of very powerful sand bandits went deep into the desert and arrested people everywhere. They arrested many people, including businessmen,

There are camel travelers, Han Chinese from Kangding, and civilians captured from other desert countries. I heard that the group of sand bandits wants to do something big in the desert and needs to arrest a lot of people... We are afraid that there will be so many people in the near future.

As people go deep into the desert, sooner or later the location of the village will no longer be hidden, and more people will know about it, making them even more afraid that the group of sand bandits will target our village and come to our village to arrest people! The sand bandits are cruel and easy to kill and have the strength in numbers, so we

I definitely couldn't resist the sand bandits attacking the village. There were so many women and children in the village. Once they fell into the hands of the sand bandits, they would either be raped or sold to slave traders. That's why I decided to take the villagers to hide outside during the day.

Hide outside and don’t dare to go back to the village to get some water at night.”

According to what the old patriarch said, half of the sheep in the village were slaughtered by them and made into dried meat. They took away all the dried meat and food. They survived on limited dried meat and muddy water for a month, and raised the other half of the sheep.

In the temporary camp outside.

The old patriarch was indeed far-sighted and foresight, because his premonition came true. He rode a camel and walked south for about a hundred miles. The group of sand thieves captured many people and dug things in the desert. They had been digging continuously.

Jin An frowned: "Old Patriarch, it's not an option for you to hide like this all the time. There will always be times when you sit back and take advantage of nothing. Moreover, the weather in the desert has been abnormal recently. It's hot outside and there is a lack of water. I'm afraid the life of the tribe will be even more difficult."

The old patriarch looked at each other and said as if he had made some important decision: "In the past, we had no choice. Even if we didn't want to leave our homeland, we would hide wherever we could in order to survive. But it's different now! Taoist priest Jin'an, help us.

When the village finds water, we have something worth protecting more than life! Guarding clean water means guarding the treasure of the desert. Having water means that we can feed more people and give birth to more tribesmen!"

"We're not going to hide anymore!"

"And... I heard the news five days ago that the group of sand bandits has penetrated deeper into the desert. It is estimated that they will not pass by our village again in a short time."

That night, Jin An talked a lot with the old patriarch and the others.

Some talked about the abnormal weather in the desert, some talked about underground mausoleums, some talked about ancient rivers, and the history of Teshsata Village.

the next day.

The camel team had replenished water and was ready to hit the road again. They went in the wrong direction several times and wasted a lot of time. Now that it was December, they had to hurry up to make up for the lost ground.

Once you miss December, you will have to wait until next year to go to the desert again to find Guchi Country.

As long as it's human.

He has his own selfish motives.

Jin An Chengren is indeed a bit selfish.

In order to find the country of Guchi, they had to sacrifice old Sadiq and young Sahaf. Just as they reunited with their relatives, they had to experience separation again.

However, the optimism of the two people surprised Jin An.

When Jin An approached the two of them and explained their purpose of coming, they were very open-minded about being separated again.

"Taoist Master Jin'an, without you, there would be no us, and we would not be able to return to our hometown and reunite with our families this time. Seeing that our families are safe and the village has water again, we have many wishes thanks to your help, Taoist Jin'an."

We realize that if there is one more god in the desert, Taoist Master Jin'an, you are the god sent to us by God and saved the lives of our entire village."

"We are not the kind of people who don't know good and evil, don't know how to repay and be grateful, and we promised that we will help you, Taoist Jin'an, find Guchiguo. My nephew and I have always thought that you are an expert in handling big things, and you will definitely be able to go smoothly.

Once we find Guchi Country, we will be able to return to Teshsata Village in the near future."

Old Sadiq said gratefully.

Ever since he met Apa Ata and learned that he was in good health, even little Sahafu became a lot more optimistic and couldn't wait to shout: "When will we set off, Taoist Jin'an? The sooner the better, I will help you find Taoist Jin'an as soon as possible."

Guchi country!"

The villagers of Teshsata are simple and honest.

Before Jin An left, he left the water talisman issued by the Lord Zhang Erlang to the village.

After he introduced the purpose of the imperial water talisman, he asked the old patriarch to stick the yellow talisman on the wall of the well. In the future, he would no longer have to worry about sedimentation at the bottom of the well and blocking the well water. Moreover, this imperial water talisman can also purify the water quality.

Strengthen the body and improve physical fitness.

At dawn in the early morning, when it was still not too hot, the camel team replenished water and set off on the road again.

On this day in Teshsata Village, the villagers were grateful and demolished the well water shacks and built a divine temple on the original site.

In the temple, there are statues of Erlang Zhenjun, Taoist priests and goats, praying for good weather and strong cattle and sheep.

It's just that the goat statue this time is a little different from the ones in Huangzishan Village and Yueqiang Kingdom. This time the goat statue is also accompanied by three sheep followers.

This time it’s really Siyang Kaitai!

If Jin An knew about this, I wonder if he would bring more guilty sheep into the desert! Will every temple be filled with sheep?
