After listening to a few jokes we tell, Ye Qianmiao gradually got used to the darkness, but still didn't let go of my hand.

......

After advancing for a while, the "lone wolf" said that he had made a discovery, and Captain Wang immediately found a sand pit for everyone to rest.

I leaned to the top of the sand pile, and Captain Wang lay on the sand and pointed to the faint light in the distance and said, "That gang of evil ways is a few kilometers ahead of us."

I tried my best to observe, but I could only faintly see some flickering lights, and I couldn't see the figure at all.

Captain Wang handed me the binoculars, and when I got closer to see them, they were still night vision goggles.

In the night vision goggles, a group of figures are setting up tents with flashlights, and two teams of people are constantly patrolling around the camp, and the leader even releases some black shadows and ghosts from time to time to investigate.

I watched it for a while and whispered to Captain Wang, arrange me and the fat man to go in when you are on duty at night, this group of evil ways is very vigilant, and they will also use evil methods to investigate, it is best to be on duty at night by Taoist cultivators, so it will be safer.

Captain Wang nodded, and after observing the terrain again, he and I slowly retreated to the bottom of the sandpile.

Our resting position is just downwind and we can speak softly.

Captain Wang and several Taoist cultivators discussed softly on the side to be on duty at night, and Sister Ying helped me and the fat man lay out the felt and set up the tent and also came over.

It was nearly eleven o'clock, and Captain Wang distributed the bag and watermelon to everyone.

The fat man took the bag and gnawed it, he couldn't even tear it off, he said angrily:

"Captain Wang, is this cake a stone?

Captain Wang laughed silently when he saw this, and then pointed at the soldiers.

I saw the soldiers cut the watermelon, then dig out the flesh of the melon and put it aside, then put the dry and hard sac in the watermelon, and finally fill the flesh back up, and wait for a while before taking out the bag to eat.

I'm stunned, there's still this kind of operation!

No wonder, it turned out that we opened it in the wrong way......

After eating the dry food, everyone gradually rested.

I walked to the top of the sand pile and chatted with the two Taoist cultivators who were staring at the evil path, and learned that they were all stationed in the secret service department by some Jianghu scattered sects, including the Natural Sect, the Kunlun Sect, the Bagua Sect, etc., and there were also disciples of the upper three realms, but they were all transferred elsewhere recently......

It seems that the main combat force of the Dao Sect has been sent by the old sect master to all parts of the country to find the ghost generals and prevent them from indiscriminately collecting souls.

Most of the scattered sects of the Taoist sect come from the big sects, and the disciples of the sect know that the fate is shallow, and they will set up their own doors after leaving the school, or drive away evil spirits for large families, or scatter in the market society to guide people, mix some money, and live a good life!

Although they also have rules for accepting disciples, compared to the above three realms, the door is already wide open, and after encountering disciples with higher talent in Tianzi, these sects will send them to the national secret service, and it is better to learn higher and deeper Taoism, and if they can't learn it, they will be plated with gold, and they can boast to the outside world.

These Taoist cultivators are the Huangguan Taoist priests who are really familiar to the world, they only walk the rivers and lakes for money, fame and fortune, and there are few true cultivators who have the heart to stick to it......

Leading such a group of Taoist cultivators, I believe that the Wang team Zhang team will not have a good time when they carry out their tasks, their role may only be reflected in the encirclement of Europe and deterrence, and the real role may not be as good as those more than ten soldiers!

The two Taoist cultivators also told me that they could receive their salaries on time and various benefits when they worked in the secret service, and compared to other Taoist priests, they were already considered white-collar among Taoist priests......

There is no way to do this, Taoism is no longer beautiful, and it is no longer valued by all levels of society, so everyone naturally has to change their course and find another way to live.

After a few words with them, I lost interest and sat alone.

In the desert at the end of October, although there is no snow, the temperature is also around zero, and according to Captain Wang, the Taklamakan Desert will reach a minimum of more than 20 degrees below zero at night......

This is not only the largest desert in China, but also the second largest mobile desert in the world!

A mobile desert is a pyramid-shaped sand dune that can reach a depth of up to 300 meters before it reaches the hard surface...... When a strong wind blows, the dunes move frequently, so over time, the terrain in the desert changes dramatically, which also leads to the death of many unprepared explorers......

Captain Wang also told me that despite the calm on the surface of the desert, there are actually many lives hiding in the sand, especially in the current more suitable temperature.

Therefore, many adventure enthusiasts like to cross the desert from autumn to spring, and in summer, because the temperature is too high, most of the creatures in the desert go into summer hibernation......

I live in Jiangnan and am accustomed to the hot and humid climate, and when I first come to this dry and cold environment, even if my physical fitness is more than ten times that of ordinary people, I still feel uncomfortable.

The desert night was getting deeper, and the stars in the night sky suddenly ran out.

The starry sky of the desert was particularly stunning, and I unconsciously looked up and was immediately captured by it.

Far away from the noise and light pollution of the city, Haohan's starry sky finally unveiled its most mysterious veil: the Milky Way stars overhead, like a bright bead curtain waterfall pouring into the night sky, their silvery-white brilliance in this silent desert looks so dreamlike, adding a bit of tranquility and profundity, ancient and simple to this deep black land, which makes people intoxicated and deep......

I stared at the starry sky and was deeply struck by the magnificence of this universe that had unfolded since ancient times......

At this moment, a very discordant voice sounded in my ears:

"Brother, can't you sleep, eat a betel nut!"

My mind full of poetry and painting was extracted by this sentence!

It's like...... It's like...... It's like a pair of unwashed pants......

I glared at him fiercely, trying to scare him away.

The fat man in the darkness could not see my face at all, but continued:

"Don't you like to eat......? I've got sesame seeds, raisins, and old shells! hey, hey, hey...... It's a good thing to chew!"

The fat man fell in love with betel nut chewing after staying in Star City for a few days, and often boasted that "betel nut and cigarettes, the mana is boundless!", and he also tried to expand the chewing team, and stuffed it to the little monk and me every once in a while......

I pulled the fat man, dug it in his cloth bag, and said, "I want to see what you have in this bag today, last time it was eye drops and baked cakes...... This time it's betel nut...... Didn't you bring a magic weapon?!"

The fat man covered the mouth of the cloth bag and sang vaguely: "I have many little secrets...... I won't tell you...... I won't tell you!"

The fat man said so vaguely that I almost heard it like "little......

I quickly covered his mouth, a lot of little? This is going to be misunderstood, I can't live yet!!

The fat man snorted proudly, twisted his ass and went down to sleep in the sand.

I was speechless, how could I get more and more difficult to deal with this fat thing, I can't think about it, I can't let this fat guy always have the upper hand!

I twisted my body, shoved my ass into the sand, and half-lay comfortably on top of the sand, wanting to continue enjoying the free desert night view.

At this time, a small "rustle" sounded, and before the person arrived, the fragrant wind had arrived, and I saw Ye Qianmiao holding the felt and crawling towards me with difficulty.

I sighed in my heart, gotta do it again!

Ye Qianmiao finally touched me by the starlight above her head, and she said to me in a very soft voice: "Chen ...... Brother Chen, you didn't sleep, did you!?"

I wondered in my heart, this girl oh no, this young lady always consciously avoids the age gap between us in her speech, I'm only seventeen, and your sister in her early twenties still calls me, brother?!

I replied quietly, "No, I'm in the middle of the night!"

Ye Qianmiao chuckled: "I've been looking at you! You were looking at the stars just now, and you chatted with Shi Fatzi a few words, it doesn't look like a night at all!"

What does this mean?

Keep looking at me?

Don't......

I took a breath and said, "Our spiritual senses are sharp, so we don't need to keep an eye on them...... Why don't you sleep so late? I don't know where the people in front of me are going, tomorrow may have to walk for a long time, you are an ordinary person and need to rest more!"

Ye Qianmiao learned from me, burrowed her body into the sand, looked at the starry sky and continued to whisper:

"I can't sleep, my mind is messed up......"

I laughed and said, "You have a good job, you're pretty, why is it a mess?"

She smiled, turned her head to me, and asked, "I...... Am I pretty?"
