"The rain falls on the three-story forest of the secluded path, and the mud splashes the sand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mango shoes stepping stone dong dong, wooden fish bit by bit like Zen home. Shang Yanan sang softly in his mouth, with his hands behind his back and following Qingqi who led the way in front.

It's a trail that leads to no one else, and in some places it's paved with stone slabs. These slate seem to be some years old, whether the rain falls, it is cold, the mud flow, the old years have washed away, and the edges and corners of the slate have already been polished gently. Everyone is wearing hats and robes, stepping on miscanthus shoes, the freshness of the stone slab is transmitted from the center of the foot, it is obviously a hard old stone, after a long time, it is like stepping on cotton, there is an illusion of softness, silky and comfortable.

"Boom-la-"

The rain in the mountains just said it would fall.

Shang Yanan and the others' hats seemed to leak, and the raindrops rolled down like broken threads, and even Chang'an's slender eyelashes were stained, flashing with an eye-catching luster in the faint light unique to the miasma.

"How much longer?"

"It's coming, it's coming. If there is heavy rain, it means that it is coming soon. The Descending Star Sea is said to be a sea, but it is actually a saltwater lake. The water temperature is relatively high at night and relatively low during the day, creating an unusually distinct land-lake breeze. During the day, the wind carries the salty and moist water vapor of the Falling Star Sea from the lake to the land, as we do now, and when the cold and warm fronts meet, it will rain heavily. If we didn't have this outfit, it would be really difficult to get around the area. ”

"And what about that night?"

"Hey, the evening, the night is beautiful. Descending to the sea of stars. There was a light in Qingqi's eyes, "The Descending Star Sea is a plateau lake, and it is also the first and second division point of the terrain of southern Xinjiang. Because of the high altitude and heavy water vapor, even if it is difficult to see the midnight star dome in other places in southern Xinjiang, the miasma here can be seen clearly. The source of the Descending Star Sea is a salt mountain in the Suya Mountain System, and the Itami River on the mountain passes through the first and second level of terrain cliffs and flows straight down, forming a huge lake, which is the Descending Star Sea. At night, the clear sea of falling stars covers the sky full of stars, and hundreds of millions of bright and luminous stars are connected into nebulae and flickering into the finest night pearls, and the scene is as straight as a dream. ”

"Look at your beauty, is it really that good-looking?"

"You'll know when you get to the Falling Star Sea at night."

Everyone walked along the trail, and at sunset, a group of white-winged birds flew by, and Nangong Ming said: "Red-beaked gull, I didn't expect there to be so many saltwater birds here, it seems that the sea of stars is really not far away." ”

In another moment, the sun set, and the moon hung in the sky like a jade disk, several times larger than usual. The stars came out in groups and blinked, and with a gust of salty wind blowing by, between the corners, the willows and flowers were bright, and the glowing lake of Yijiao drilled into everyone's eyes.

As soon as everyone's breath stopped, only such a small corner made people's hearts beat faster - the surface of the lake was suffocating, and it was impossible to describe it in words. With this beautiful scenery luring ahead, everyone quickened their pace, and finally saw the complete sea of descending stars at the twilight.

This is really a sea of stars!

What is the Big Dipper, dancing in the waves; Southern Dipper, frolicking in white flowers; What twenty-eight nights and nine Yao star monarchs, like driving a white-bellied silverfish through the void; What are the four values of Gong Cao Venus Yue Lao, singing songs and humming tunes one by one, sometimes sinking into the lake, sometimes floating on the water, so happy!

Nangong Mingxuan was stunned, this lake almost filled all the cosmic stars in the Nine Heavens Dome! It's spectacular.

However, there is also a spectacular, a huge horse hanging in the sky attracts Nangong Ming's attention. It is a miracle that the Itami River flows straight down from a drop of 2,000 zhang, and it is also a portrayal of the natural magic of heaven and earth. At night, the Itami Falls and the Milky Way are intertwined, and the river is falling so fast that from a distance it looks like the waves of stars are coming from the sky. A lake, a waterfall, Nangong Mingxuan was suffocated, and a thought flashed in his mind: It would be nice if An Li was by his side.

Love to the bones, even the scenery I see and the things I meet, I want to share it with that person for the first time. But... Nangong Ming's heart hurts, An Li is dead, and I don't know if there is a way to make everything start all over again?

There is a wooden house not far from the shore of the Descending Star Sea, which is Qingqi's home. Everyone pushed the door in with a patina knocker, only to hear the squeak~ a sound, simple furnishings, wooden tables, chairs and beds that have not been dusted even if they have not lived for a long time, and there is food in the kitchen that has grown moldy and green, everything is simple and quiet. Just like all the fishermen in the seaside fishing villages, there is no fancy look.

"The seaweed snail, which is unique to the Descending Star Sea, is produced every summer. There is a kind of worm in the snail meat, which can be used for grafting and blending when refining Gu worms. Sister Xiaoli often comes over in the summer, she lives in this room, I build a grass hut outside, even if it rains heavily, she doesn't allow me to enter, and the bed she sleeps on has poisonous Gu, and no one is allowed to touch it. ”

Nangong Ming was moved, there were indeed two beds in the room, he walked to the one pointed by Qingji, and reached out to touch it.

"Poisonous! Don't touch it~"

Nangong Ming's fingers paused for a moment, and finally the sad expression on his face occupied every cell, and he gently touched the bed. There were small insects as thin as dust pouring in, which was originally violent, but the moment it touched the young man's skin, he was stunned.

The insects crouched on the young man's arm, and the faint light behind his buttocks flickered and darkened as if he were breathing. Nangong Mingxiao remembered the happy and willful voice of the woman who had never been in close contact with fireflies because of the special fragrance on her body, and the vague face of the woman who flew up from under the veil and saw it in a glimpse.

The atmosphere froze, as if it was about to crush a simple room.

"Let's go out for a walk, don't be sorry for this beautiful view." Shang Yanan pulled Chang'an, and Chang'an pulled Qingqi again. The three of them went out on their front and back feet, leaving only the petrified young man with a glint in the corners of his eyes.

About two hours later, there was the sound of footsteps in the quiet room, and Nangong Mingxuan walked out with a tired face.

In front of him is a sea of stars that is shockingly beautiful.

A wooden plank road more than 100 zhang long winds into the lake, supported by wooden pillars, without railings on both sides, walking on it seems to walk with the breeze and water flow and the stars around. Nangong Mingxuan's throat choked uncomfortably. He found a codex in the house, with beautiful handwriting, written by An Li, recording all kinds of strange animals and plants in this sea of stars. And the last page reads: One day I will be with the people who care about me, and the people I care about... Listen to the tides of the Sea of Falling Stars.

"I'm listening... What you want me to hear, I'm listening..."

The young man took a few more steps forward, until he was surrounded by a sea of descending stars in front of him, left and right. In the stars not far away, Qingqi was playing the flute, Shang Yanan looked at the sea with his hands down, and Chang'an stretched his legs into the sea with his bare feet, and countless small fish came over to kiss the girl's feet. I can't tell whether the starlight dyes the fish, or the small fish is originally glowing, and the layers of groups are like flowing silver ribbons, wrapping the feet of Chang'an like a baby, and the girl has not kicked the waves once, and the clear sea water reflects the starlight, some blue, some purple, some moon white, and some ink black, blooming in the air, and the water droplets are outlined into a painting, as if in the night sky, the blooming star-colored dahlia.

"Brother Nangong, you're out! Look, these fish, they're so cute. ”

"Hmm." Nangong Mingwan nodded, Shang Yanan turned around and glanced at the young man, "Nangong boy, let's stay here for a few more days." ”

Nangong Mingxuan was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Qingqi, the wooden boat on the shore, can it still be used?"

"What can be used is blessed with spiritual power, and it is also coated with anti-insect and anti-corrosion paint, even if it is left for a hundred years, it will not be a problem!"

"Can I use it?"

"Yes, I'll help you." Qingqi walked back to shore from the plank road, unhooking the anchor and pushing the boat into the sea. is an unusual lake, the tides come one after another, it is really like a sea of stars, fortunately, Nangong Mingxiao grew up in the South China Sea since he was a child, but it is not difficult for him.

He stood alone on the wooden boat and said, "Qingqi, I'll go to the middle of the lake to have a look." ”

"The Falling Star Sea has a radius of more than 30 million acres, and you go to the middle of the lake... I'm afraid it's going to take a while. ”

"It's okay, anyway, Senior Shang said to stay for a few days."

"Okay." Qingqi nodded, "But beware of this lake." ”

"What do you mean?" Nangong Ming frowned.

"The Falling Star Sea is too big, the water is clear, and you can see the depth of four or five hundred zhang below the surface of the sea. The stars are shining in the sky, and there are three-dimensional projections in the lake, and you can walk in the boat, but you must not go under the lake. Because when you go there, there is water and stars in all directions, and you can't tell the difference between up and down, left and right. There are a lot of people... That's how I got lost in the sea of descending stars. ”

Nangong Mingxuan exclaimed: "You can still get lost in the lake?" It's incredible. ”

That's true. You can tie a rope around your waist and go down and have a look, but don't dive deeper. There are many fish in this sea of descending stars, and if you don't pay attention to it, the rope will be gnawed to the ground, and there will be no scum left. When the time comes, there will be no rope guidance, and you are afraid that Da Luo Jinxian will not come out. ”

"I see." Nangong Mingxuan nodded, "Thank you for reminding me." ”

Qingqi sighed and said, "You... You are the person that Sister Xiaoli likes, don't have an accident. ”

Nangong Mingxuan glanced at Qing Qi deeply, didn't speak, and set off with the oars.

The wooden boat cruised, drawing a trace of long ripples and subtle white waves on the surface of the lake, Nangong Mingxuan continued to move towards the center of the lake, rowing from night to day, from day to night, and so on for three days, until the night of the fourth day, when there was no tide around, he knew that he had reached the center of the Descending Star Sea.

The boat seems to be floating in the interstellar galaxy, mirror-like water, and all kinds of fish swim in the depths of the first few feet. Some are like shuttles, some are like disks, some are several zhang long, and some are small thumb sizes. Nangong Mingxiao was lying on the boat, his breath suddenly disappeared in this place where he didn't know whether it was the starry sky or the ocean, his eyes reflected the stars, but it was the face of the girl with the veil that flashed.

His fierce aura was gone, as if it had been washed clean in an instant.
