Chapter 471 Compass

Everyone was waiting for the sandstorm to end, and it didn't stop until the afternoon from the morning.When all the dust settled, a large group of Zong Xin emerged from the sand.Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, everyone except Zong Xin and Yeluzhen felt extremely uncomfortable.There was such a big wind and sand just now, and it didn't take long before the surroundings were calm and there was not even a little wind.

Almost everyone was buried in the sand and had to break the roof of the car to get out.Soon, Yaoyao also broke the roof and jumped out from the inside. At this time, Yaoyao was wearing a long white veil, and her whole body was tightly wrapped. It was completely different from the usual Yaoyao. She usually does not show any flesh on her body. Not comfortable.

After Dugu Xingyue, He Meiyu, Tianya and finally saw Ning An getting out of the carriage, Zong Xin was completely relieved that everyone was safe.As for the Youyun Eighteen Cavalry, it doesn't matter if they are dead. It is too difficult to feed them all because they are all foodies.

Not long after, a wolf's head emerged from the sand, and Zong Xin was almost unrecognizable with its short mane.The wolves raised by Zong Xin all have thick fur, and the fur is very long due to external pollution. Although it is soft, it can almost be used as armor when it gets tense.This time it was different. After Xiaobai jumped out of the sand, his hair was very short and he looked very refreshed.

Zong Xin rushed forward, knocked on Xiaobai's wolf head, and then said angrily, "Xiaobai, when did you learn a new skill without telling me? You can actually shed your hair?"

"Hmm~!" Xiaobai looked at Zong Xin very differently, sitting upright, with his head turned to the side, not knowing what Zong Xin meant.

Zong Xin said angrily: "You think being cute is enough?"

Zhao Kuangyin persuaded: "Zong Xin, animals will shed their hair. When the weather is hot, all animals will lose their hair. Xiaobai is not used to this kind of heat, so he shed his hair. This is not a skill, it should be instinct."

"Oh~ forget it, or else he has to be punished for daring to learn new skills without me knowing, where will I put face as the master?"

When Zong Xin spoke, other Wargs also emerged from the sand.In addition, Youyun Shibaqi also jumped out of the sand, they didn't care about it, they just jumped out.

Immediately afterwards, the camels also poked their heads out of the sand, but there was a lot of sand on their bodies, and they could not stand up straight.

Zong Dao said: "You Yun's Eighteen Riders will go to help, and they will get all the camels out of the sand, and there are two water tankers and one grain truck in this circle, and these things are also brought along."

Yeluruan stepped forward and said: "Master Zongxin, you can do the math now. I often hear people say that you can pinch and count, but I haven't seen it. Let me open my eyes today."

Zong Xin looked depressed, but he had made a promise just now, and it was too late to say no.I really wish I could beat Yelu Ruan, but he is the Emperor of Khitan now...

Zong said: "Wait a minute, I'm going to prepare something."

Everyone was looking forward to Zong Xin's performance. Zong Xin took out an alms bowl from his arms, and then took out a gourd.Pour wine from the gourd into the bowl, the aroma of the wine immediately draws mouth water.Everyone knows that this is Zong Xin's Dionysus gourd. The wine in the gourd is fragrant and can restore physical strength.But after all, it is wine, drinking this kind of thing in the desert will only make it more uncomfortable.

In the end, Zong Xin took out another green leaf and put it into the wine. He didn't intrude but let the leaf float on the wine.

"King Shenwu, come here."

Yeluzhen immediately stepped forward, because it was the first time he saw this situation, and he was very curious.I don't know what the hell Zong Xin is doing this time.

Zong said: "Don't move, I will lend you something, I don't have this thing..."

As he said that, Zong Xin pulled out an embroidery needle from the folds of the cassock... Then he pressed the embroidery needle with his hand and rubbed it on Yeluzhen's head continuously, which made Yeluzhen feel a little pain.

After Zong Xin finished it, he put the embroidery needle on the leaf, the leaf blocked it, so the embroidery needle did not directly touch the wine, and it just floated like this.Zong Xin sat cross-legged in front of the alms bowl and closed his eyes to meditate. The others stepped back a little, wondering if Zong Xin would be in danger when casting spells.

Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Zong Xin, what is this?"

"Compass. I haven't had time to teach Tianya this kind of knowledge, so you don't know." Zong said: "Under the action of the natural geomagnetic field, the magnetic needle can rotate freely and keep in the tangential direction of the magnetic meridian, and the magnetic needle will point to The north and the south can be used to distinguish the direction. But if there are other metals around, the direction will be disturbed. Rubbing the embroidery needle on the hair can make the iron produce a slight magnetic force. This is too complicated, I It’s rare to explain to you... Anyway, you remember, as long as you do like me, you can make the two ends of this needle point north and south respectively.”

"Oh~~ Is it useful to guide the north?"

"As I said, if there are metals nearby, the magnetic field will be disturbed. The pointer will slowly move along with the metal. I think there should be some special minerals in the Fire Temple, which may allow the pointer to point there... …Of course, I don’t have confidence either, anyway, if we follow the direction of this pointer, at least we can get out of this desert, and we’ll talk about other things later.”

"Oh~ it's cheap, but I like it very much." Zhao Kuangyin admired Zong Xin's shamelessness, but it's not bad under such circumstances.

Not long after, the pointer stopped in one direction. Zong Xin calculated the time and the sun. This direction should be northwest and southeast.After all, the embroidery needle has two ends, and the two ends point in completely different directions. You can find north and south from the direction of the sun setting in the west. The smaller end of the needle points to the northwest, so Zong Xin decides to go in that direction.

Zong Xin stretched out his hand and said, "It stopped in that direction, and the Fire God Temple should be in that direction."

Yelu Ruan and his party also took a closer look and found out that the needle pointed toward the sunset and a little above the mountain, which should be northwest or southwest.But based on this, how can we tell that the Fire Temple is there?Who knows if it's accurate?
Yeluzhen said: "Master Zongxin, is this accurate? I have been here countless times, but I have never found the location of the Fire God Temple."

Zong Xin clasped his hands together and said, "How dare you ask me if I'm sure? How about this, you can turn the leaf around casually, and I can guarantee that the needle will always point in the direction of the Fire God Temple. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself."

Zong Xin stretched out his hand and took the embroidery needle in his hand again, and then rubbed it against Yeluzhen's head... Then he put the embroidery needle on the leaf and stretched out his hand to signal for them to move in any direction.

Yeluzhen immediately turned the direction of the leaf with his fingers, and there was a ripple in the wine. After the ripple stopped, the leaf slowly rotated, and finally the needle fell in the same direction again.

It’s amazing...Yelu Ruan, Yelu Anduan, Yelu Chagao, and Yelu Pot all tried one by one, and everyone’s movements were the same. First, pick up the needle and rub it on Yeluzhen’s head, and then put it on the leaves. As expected, no matter which direction the leaf is moved, it will automatically stop in the same direction in the end. I have never encountered such a miraculous thing, and several high-level officials in Khitan are going crazy.

Yeluzhen admired: "Master Zongxin, is this magic so simple? Just rub someone's head with an embroidery needle, and you can know where the person wants to go?"

Zong Xin shook his head and said, "If it's really that simple, do I still need it? You can try it casually, no matter whose head you rub the embroidery needle on, the result will be the same. So it's not the direction this person wants to go. If you talk too much, you don’t understand, anyway, you just need to know this direction.”

Zong Xin reached out and took out the leaf and put it into his bosom, rubbed the embroidery needle into his cassock, and finally picked up the alms bowl and drank it in one gulp, and put the alms bowl back into the cassock.

Yeluruan is very sorry... I haven't played enough yet.After finally seeing this novel thing, I wanted to play with it more, but Zong Xin put all the things away.

"Everyone is ready, let's start now."

Youyun Shibaqi has already dug out all the camels and cars, and because of the help of the wolves, the work is very easy.Put three carts behind the six camels, and all the others rode on the camels and headed northwest.Even if Zong Xin and Yeluruan's cars were taken out, it was useless because the roofs of the cars were all broken, and there was no need to ride in a car under such circumstances, it was more efficient to ride on a camel.

It was getting late at this time, and the sun almost set after walking for two or three hours.Youyun Eighteen Riders moved very fast, and the camels brought by Zong Xin carried enough practical things on their backs, and they had already prepared campfires for these people.

Although the desert area is extremely poor, there will still be some desert plants and even trees growing. It is not difficult to raise a bonfire.

A group of people gathered around the fire. In fact, there is no need for the fire at this time, because there is a guy hotter than the fire doing exercises beside him.

Yeluzhen's whole body was bathed in fire, and the true energy was introduced into Zhenjing's body little by little. Except for this time, Yelujing was always on the cart, pulled away by a camel.At this time, Yelvjing can only wake up occasionally, and is in a coma at other times. As long as Yelvzhen stops injecting him with true energy, his body will slowly start to frost. Even in the scorching desert, Yelvjing's body temperature is very high. cold.

Yelu Anduan is still looking forward to the moment when Yeluzhen exhausts his true energy. He believes that he has been infected by the poison of the ice flame and strange flower. Yeluzhen's complexion is getting worse and worse after the exercise. I believe he can't last long. .But the difference in martial arts between the two sides is not small, so Yelu Anduan absolutely dare not make a move before he is sure.
