Bashir was a pious man, and he traveled twice a year on this declining trade route. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info as a guide. Where there are oases, where there are water sources, where villages are, and where cities are, like the most detailed and vivid map, are deeply engraved in his mind.

Every diversion of a river in the desert heralds the birth of a new batch of oases, as well as the death of a group of old ones.

"O Allah! How is this possible? Bashir looked at the vast expanse of green Mingsha Mountain from afar, and the faint Chinese architecture under the towering giant trees. His mouth was wide open and he didn't move.

"Bashir, what's wrong with you? But is there something wrong ahead? "The largest merchant in the caravan, the owner of two-thirds of the caravan. Abdul Wahab, who is also al-Bashir's largest employer, immediately walked over and asked when he saw al-Bashir's look of surprise.

"I, when I came back, it was still a sandy stone, not a little green. But in less than half a year, there is an oasis. O Allah! It's incredible! Bashir replied respectfully.

"Isn't it normal for an oasis to appear and disappear in the desert? Allah always has his own arrangements. Everywhere there are poplar trees, aren't they once oases? Don't waste time, we have to get to the city today, we're going to run into a damn horse thief in the wilderness!" Abdul Wahab was unimpressed. Because as a merchant, he only cares about his property, and the safety and profit of the caravan property are the things he needs to care about the most.

Bashir did not dare to disobey the orders of Lord Abdul Wahab, so he could only put away his surprise and led the caravan to set off again, continuing towards the "oasis".

As the verdant hills drew closer, the caravanserais, who had walked through the trade route, were amazed to praise the name of "Allah." I looked ahead incredulously and started talking.

"Bashir, do you know what the building up front is?" Abdul Wahab walked at the front with his escort and asked Bashir Dao.

"It's supposed to be a Buddhist temple or a Taoist temple or something. It was a pagan temple. Bashir replied.

"How can there be these things here? Did those damn Hermes-Epitek build it? Why don't the prostrate people here? Abdul Wahab muttered and then instructed: "Maybe we can stop here for a while, replenish our strength, and enjoy some fresh food and water." Even the camels are tired, let's go to the city again tomorrow! “

Bashir looked at his boss with his mouth wide open. How can a servant of Allah enter a pagan temple?

As the news of Abdul Wahhab's decision reached the entire caravan, there was a lot of discussion in the caravan, but no one came forward to oppose it. Businessmen are the most flexible group of people. It's not the fanatical fanatics of those kinds. Otherwise, how can he do business with the infidels?

The trees are fragrant and the grass is green. There are mountain springs winding down, and there are abundant fruits hanging on the branches, exuding an alluring aroma.

It wasn't just Bashir, the entire caravan was stunned, including the great merchant Abdul Wahab. As a group of people living in the desert, I have seen more than the endless sea of sand, I am used to seeing the lifeless Gobi, and I have also seen the desolation of poplar forests. But who has ever seen this scene of the mountains and forests of southern China?

"Allah, this is incredible!" After a large group of people left a group of guards to guard the camels, the rest followed al-Bashir and Abdul Wahab on the bluestone-paved mountain path, and saw the scenery on both sides like a "fairyland". A burst of exclamations came out.

At the end of the mountain road is the Taoist temple lit up by dust and Xuanxuzi. Green bricks and red tiles, based on boulders. Compared with the mud houses that are common in desert areas, I don't know how much taller they are. But when the crowd approached, there were already two handsome children in Taoist costumes waiting in front of the Taoist temple.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! You have come from afar, and it is hard work. Although our sects are different, those who come are guests. If you want to rest, you can follow the trail, where there are sweet mountain springs, clean houses, and delicious mountain fruits to entertain you. Just don't disturb the old man's practice! A few children bowed, but the crisp children's voices said in a very regular manner.

The people of the caravan looked at each other, but Bashir had dealt with the Han people and understood the Chinese language. Immediately explained. Only then did the people understand the return. After some discussion, he nodded and agreed. Abdul Wahab also took out a gold coin and handed it to a child, which was counted as food and lodging and a reward.

After the children immediately thanked each other, they immediately separated one person and led everyone into the Taoist temple. There was a sound of neat scripture recitation in the Taoist temple, and it was clear that the Taoist priests were also performing rituals such as this evening worship service. The merchants didn't understand, but it was inconvenient to ask, but the scriptures were endless, but they didn't know why, they couldn't understand what was read in the scriptures, but they could still make people feel refreshed, as if the fatigue of the long road was suddenly washed away, and the whole body was relaxed.

After entering the Taoist temple, I realized why this original desert stone mountain has become so verdant. There is a big courtyard in the center of the Taoist temple, and there is a big fountain in the center of the courtyard. The clear spring water sparkles in the light of the setting sun. It is several meters high. The fountain is surrounded by a small fountain surrounded by white jade-like stones. Connected to the fountain is a bluestone carved groove, which leads the excess spring water out of the Taoist temple and nourishes the entire forest.

Xiao Tong led everyone through the side door next to the Sanqing Hall and took them directly to a huge courtyard. The yard didn't feel the cold of the desert in this harsh winter. It's as warm as spring. There are ponds and rockeries in the yard, and there are many unknown flowers competing to bloom, exuding a charming fragrance.

"Are we in Heaven?" Abdul Wahab asked Bashir next to him, a little incredulous.

"Impossible! The Kingdom of Allah is 10,000 times more beautiful than here. This is just a view between the mundane. Basil replied. The rest of the crowd nodded their heads when they heard this, saying that this place was far worse than the Caliphate's garden, how could it be compared to the kingdom of heaven. Although none of them knew what the Caliph's garden looked like, they never reached the Kingdom of Allah. But at least I've heard of it!

There are a lot of rooms in the yard, at least enough for everyone. Abdul Wahab, as the most prestigious chief, also occupied a single room. Next to it lived Bashir and his escort warriors. In this unfamiliar place, you can only feel at ease when you have a guard by your side.

"A group of barbarians, heretics, why bother to entertain Daoyou like this?" Above the Sanqing Palace, Xuan Xuozi muttered disappreciatively to the dust.

"In order for this view to be passed down in this desert, in the land of barbarians, it needs at least a good reputation. These people are just the first visitors. The trade roads under this mountain are endless. There will be countless merchants who will send money to maintain the Taoist temple. It will also spread the reputation of the Taoist temple to all the places where the business travelers pass. Lichen replied with a smile.

"What's the use, they might bring a large number of fanatics to bulldoze this place. The more famous it is, the more dangerous it becomes. We are heretics.1 "Xuan Xuzi doesn't think so, you are authentic.

"This is not yet a place where they dominate the world. As long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, and there is the recognition of the Ming court, they will not dare to mess around. And when you go back to the Han miscellaneous places here, there will always be Han people who come to take refuge. With their support, this Taoist temple will not be a source of water, but can stand for thousands of years and become the foundation of my teaching in the Western Regions. Lichen said very solemnly.
