Chapter 18: Memories and Desert Adventures
?
"Oh no, that Ali Ba seems to be in danger!" Yuan Shuai was anxious in his heart, he was afraid that this only guide would die under the clutches of the so-called Satan, so he did not hesitate to kick open the big 'door' of Ali's wooden house, only to see two dried corpses in the dilapidated house that were '' by the puppet Gu were approaching one step by step The young man who was fascinated, Yuan Shuai stepped forward without saying a word, and the whistling fireball knocked a dry corpse that was about to approach into the air, and the other dry corpse attacked Yuan Shuai and the others with teeth and claws when he saw this.
"Hmph, there is a way in heaven, you don't go to hell, there is no 'door', you come to vote, let Uncle Ben send you this 'desert roast duck' back to where you should go today!" Yuan Shuai 'pumped' the bloody wooden sword and slashed a red light, only to see that the body of the dry corpse was instantly cut in two, but there was a puppet Gu's secret '' control, even if it was only the upper half of the body, the dry corpse still struggled to 'touch' Xia Molei's feet.....
"Ahh
Yuan Shuai frowned, opened his 'yin' and yang eyes, and found that there was a faint red light emitting from the head of the dried corpse, so he swung a sword and smashed the head of the dried corpse, which eliminated the puppet Gu in it.
Coming to the unconscious young man, through the old lady hiding outside the "door", this unconscious "drunk" young man is the Ali Baba brother who came home from the point, just the first time to risk his life to find antiques buried in the desert provoked a large number of dried corpses to seek revenge, and then worked hard to find a priceless ancient "jade" plate but was bought by the black-hearted jewelry store owner at a very low price, how can this be described in a tragic word.
For the time being, he took Ali back to the old lady's house nearby to rest, and after some recuperation, the young man named Ali finally opened his eyes slowly.
What made everyone feel vomiting blood was that the first thing he said was that he was hungry and wanted to eat, and in desperation, Xia Molei had to hand some bread and sausages he was carrying to Ali, who was hungry.
Seeing Ali eating Yuan Shuai so much, they knew that Ali was not stunned by those dried corpses at that time, in fact, Ali had fainted to death due to lack of food as early as a day ago, if it wasn't for Yuan Shuai and they arrived in time, even if those dried corpses didn't come, Ali wouldn't be able to support it for long.
Knowing the purpose of Yuan Shuai's trip, Ali, who was well-fed and drunk, hurriedly quibbled that he had not been to any desert hinterland at all, let alone brought back any antiques, and when he heard that the old lady on the side here was suddenly unhappy, he patted Ali's head and then respectfully pointed at Yuan Shuai and said, "Ali, do you know who this adult standing in front of you is! Tell you, they are God's messenger to save our village, if you are not honest." If you give everything up, then God Almighty will punish you when you die, and will also throw you into the hell where Satan gathers and never turn over. ”
Yuan Shuai stood aside silently and continued to pretend to be his magic stick, but his heart was too grateful to this devout believer, with the help of the old lady, the young man Ali was really a little convinced, in order to make the young man in front of him completely convinced of him, so Yuan Shuai cast the blood seal crane rune to conjure up a pair of crane shapes glowing with red light, with the help of a pair of huge wings fantasy, Yuan Shuai slowly floated into the air, and then the panicked Ali and the old lady hurriedly knelt on the ground together to make the most sincere prayer to Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai glared at Xia Molei and the others, who were about to laugh, and then said to Ali in front of him in his characteristic divine stick voice: "Poor child, if you still want to return to the arms of God, then you must learn to be honest and tell me everything you have happened to in the desert before, and we will judge everything you have done on behalf of God." ”
"God I am guilty, and I will honestly 'deliver' everything. As he spoke, Ali began to describe his previous journey into the desert as it was.
I was an abandoned orphan who had to do odd jobs like stealing chickens, petting dogs or doing odd jobs in order to survive, but when I heard that someone had dug up priceless antiques in the desert and became rich overnight, I decided to go to the heart of the desert where the Sea of Death was in search of buried treasures.
Although I am good for nothing, I am no stranger to the desert, because I have lived here since I was a child, and I have also helped herders graze in the desert, so I know the climate and changes in the desert very well. So I took advantage of the rare season in the desert that there would be no yellow rain for a period of time, and I broke into the heart of the desert, and there is a hell of death where even death is said to be intimidating!
At first, my trip went well, and I carried enough food and water bags and rented camels to travel to and from the edge of the Sea of Death, where the usual treasure hunters found antiques in the surrounding area.
However, although my journey went well, I was extremely lucky to the extreme, and after several days and nights of digging I did not dig out anything but yellow sand and stones. Later, I began to gradually deviate from the line and continue to 'grope' my way into the desert hinterland of the Sea of Death, but by the time I realized that I had been completely 'lost'.
Panicked and aimlessly wandering around' Wander around, but look at the endless desert except for yellow sand or yellow sand, the climate in the desert is very strange, during the day its temperature can melt iron into molten iron, but at night its temperature is so cold that it can freeze people's noses, so I suffered in the desert for two days and was about to return to God's embrace, suddenly not far in front of me there was a sound similar to a burst of light, and then I faintly heard the sound of someone talking, but how can there be a voice of people in the heart of the desert known as the Sea of Death, it seems that I have hallucinated at that timeAnd God's hands seem to be reaching for me little by little......
When I was about to pass out, I suddenly felt an imperceptible breeze coming towards me, and the breeze faintly carried a trace of 'damp' moisture, but with this moisture I struggled to wake up again.
When I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to find a small oasis not far away, and I was shocked to almost wonder if I was hallucinating, because I had often heard the legend of the older generation that there was often a magical mirage in the desert.
But the scene in front of me was so real, even the gentle breeze blowing from the oasis still moist moisture, so I did not hesitate to use the last of my strength to run towards the oasis, I was thinking about death, even if it was all an illusion, at least I could die in the beautiful scene in front of me, it would be a little comfort.
But it wasn't until I ran into the cool waters of the lake that I realized that God Almighty had not abandoned me, and that he had created this magical oasis to save me from life and death, and I was reborn as if I had been reborn.
With a water source comes the courage to live, and when I look around again, I unconsciously see an ancient and magnificent ancient city in front of my eyes!
The first thing that came to my mind when I was amazed at that ancient city was, could it be a mirage, but with the encouragement of the oasis before, I believe that the ancient city would never be a dream.
When I walked into that huge ancient city, I found that it turned out to be an ancient city ruins that were almost buried by the desert, from the ancient architecture and style, I could feel that the ruins of this ancient city must have a history of thousands of years, looking at it, a guess gradually emerged in my heart, is this the legendary ancient city of Loulan buried by the desert?
From the surrounding architectural structure, everything there is very intact, not at all like the outside world rumors, it is razed to the ground or dilapidated, in fact, even the bricks and tiles there seem to be permanently preserved as if time freezes.
However, I was more concerned about the large number of rare treasures buried in this ruin, and it is said that the ancient city of Loulan had a large number of gold, silver and jewels gathered from the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and those treasures were all stored in the imperial palace of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, so I quickly ran towards the center of the city, because there was a large palace that was almost a city within a city.
I now regret entering that palace, if I had only been looking for buried antiques in other corners of the city, I would not have been cursed by Satan's demons, and Ali shuddered as he continued to reminisce about the scene.
I walked into the palace with the big open 'door' and came to the legendary and magnificent Loulan Palace, where although it has now lost the extravagant and erosive appearance of the golden and brilliant singing and dancing in the past, but from the magnificent palace building, it can still show the style of the king of the ancient Loulan Kingdom at that time.
I wandered around the Loulan Palace aimlessly, trying to find the room where the treasures were stored in the palace, but how could a huge palace be easily discovered by me alone, and then I accidentally broke into a secret room under the palace, and on a huge wall I found a huge relief mural, but in the middle of the mural was inlaid with the simple 'jade' plate.
At that time, I was stupid and carried away by greed, I stepped forward and took off the ancient 'jade' plate with great effort, but after taking it off, there was a violent shaking from under my feet, it seemed that the whole palace was shaking, and I was afraid and frightened to see a large group of dried corpses gradually emerging from all directions towards me, and I will never forget the terrible scene, those corpses that have been dried for the rest of my life. Baring a mouthful of yellow fangs, the most horrible roar emanating from their parched throats seemed like a bunch of satanic demons from hell were trying to tear me apart!
