One hundred and two, desert legends

"Hahaha, let's not talk about drinking, Chen, you definitely haven't tasted our first wine here!" Alimu. Maimaiti wiped away the tears that were about to drip with his backhand, and his mouth grinned slightly at Chen Kai and pretended to squeeze his eyebrows.

"No, Alimu, because I missed things with wine, so I don't drink now." Chen Kai stuffed the barbecue in his hand into his mouth, then poured a mouthful of sour plum soup, and smiled at Alimu.

"How? Today is a happy day, how can we pure men not drink? Chen, you must try it! Alimu couldn't help but throw a bag of wine bags.

"Okay, good, I'm drinking this wine so strong!" Chen Kai took the cowhide bag with a wry smile and learned to pour it with Alimu up, but he was choked with tears by the wine.

"Hahaha, this is our famous Elite liquor, in your words, it's a pole! I almost squirted out when I drank it; But it's good to get used to it, and the wine is tasted slowly! Looking at Chen Kai's embarrassment, Alimu couldn't help laughing heartily and jokingly comforted.

But having said that, he didn't have any less wine to persuade him, and poor Chen Kai was drunk by him; At night, everyone buries carbon in the sand, and then people sleep on the sand, and it is still cool when they lie down; It's just that when I woke up in the morning, I had frost on my eyebrows, but my back was full of sweat.

When Chen Kai woke up the next day, it was already noon, in fact, with his current cultivation, he could completely eliminate the desire to drink in an instant, but he was also enjoying the atmosphere.

Climb up and grab your breakfast and walk to the main square, where you can buy a bargain. The old man of Kurban selected twenty camels, and led people to load and unload several large buckets of water and dozens of naan and other equipment and supplies.

There are also several large leather pockets of yogurt soup on it, when you can't stand the thirst in the desert, you can drink a sip to quench your thirst, which can withstand ten mouthfuls of water; Finally, I brought a lot of bean cake and salt.

Chen Kai was very curious about this situation, and walked forward and stretched out his hand to help carry things and asked, "Old man, we eat bean cakes and salt in that desert?" Doesn't this make you thirstier the more you eat? ”

The old man laughed: "Oh, this one, you can eat it, but it's better to give these to the camels to eat!" ”

The conversation didn't last long, and after everyone had eaten breakfast after the supplies were loaded, everyone was ready to start a new business, this time to Kashgar, the closest city to the desert!

The situation is a little different from when Chen Kai first met them yesterday; Yesterday Amuri and they returned from completing the transaction outside, and the goods were sold, so that each person could ride a camel.

But now they are out-of-town traders, and camels are the only "tools" for loading goods, which makes each camel carry a large weight, so that when marching, all the people can only walk half the way on two legs, and half the way on camels.

Chen Kai naturally has no fear of walking, his realm is already refining and refining qi, and it is very easy for him to walk while cultivating.

Among the world's deserts, the Taklamakan Desert is the most mysterious and seductive. The center of the desert has a typical continental climate with strong winds and sands, large temperature variations, and low precipitation throughout the year.

During the day, the Taklamakan is scorching, the silver sand is dazzling, the temperature of the sand surface is sometimes as high as 70-80 degrees, and the vigorous evaporation makes the surface scenery erratic, and desert travelers often see a hazy "mirage" in the distance.

During the two days of conversation, Chen Kai learned that the Taklama Desert actually requires a lot of courage for Uyghurs to do business here, and they are very taboo about it, which means "a place where you can't get in and out" in the Uyghur language, and the locals usually call it "the sea of death".

The types of sand dunes here are complex and diverse, with complex sand hills and sand ridges everywhere, like dragons resting on the earth, and tower-shaped sand dunes are a variety of honeycomb-shaped, feather-shaped, and fish-scale sand dunes, which are unpredictable; The sand dunes are blown by strong winds, leaving the landscape uncharacteristic.

Thanks to the experienced Maimaiti old men, those tents that were buried in most of the yellow sand, and only half of the tents were exposed by the wind, and the poplars that were tilted by the wind and were at an angle of 30 degrees to the ground, and a few small Saxosuo (plant names) in the desert, could not escape the eyes of the Maimaiti old men, relying on these old men to accurately lead everyone in the right direction!

Looking at the desert with two tall red and white hills, Alimu sue sΓΉ Chen Kai is a famous landscape in Xinjiang, called "Holy Tomb Mountain", which is composed of red sandstone and white gypsum respectively, and the sedimentary rock is formed after the ground is exposed.

Chen Kai curiously gathered his mana on his eyes, and opened the Heavenly Eye, as if equipped with a telescope, he clearly saw the wind-eroded mushrooms on the "Holy Sepulchre Mountain", which was peculiar.

Around the desert, along the banks of the Yarkand River, the Tarim River, the Hotan River and the Cherchen River, dense poplar forests and tamarix shrubs grow and develop, forming a "green island of sand sea".

Walking in the desert left the deepest impression on Chen Kai is those thousand-year-old poplars, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that there are trees in the desert, then every poplar tree is like a vigorous flying dragon, all the branches are crooked to the east, as if this dragon is running in the desert, in such a harsh environment, after thousands of years, it has long since died, and the trunk of the tree has been blown by the wind and sand to the ground, but it still has not fallen.

In particular, on both sides of the Khotan River, which runs through the desert, there are a variety of sand-borne wild grasses such as reeds and poplars, forming a "green corridor" in the desert, and the "corridor" is connected by gurgling water and oases. Wild rabbits, small birds and other animals live in the forest belt, which also adds a little life to the "Sea of Death".

The group continued to move forward and came to a barren sandy soil, where there were no more poplars in the desert, and there were no undulating sand mountains, and the sand dunes around them were almost the same, like flat steamed buns, boundless, looking at any angle on the ground, it was the same scenery, and there was no sign of life. From time to time, a gentle breeze blows through the sand dunes, rolling up wisps of fine sand, and the distant sky gradually turns a dull yellow.

Seeing this situation, everyone's expressions became polarized, Chen Kai, who saw this situation for the first time, showed a look of curiosity, while the rest of the caravan looked panicked.

With his super hearing, Chen Kai heard someone exclaim the three words Black Desert, as if these three words had special magic.

It turns out that for those of them who believe in ****** Uyghurs, the Black Desert is a place of punishment and judgment.

Alimu told Chen Kai that the Black Desert was created by Huda (Allah, Allah) to punish greedy infidels, and countless cities and treasures were buried in the desert, but no one could bring them out of the Black Desert, even if you only took a gold coin, you would lose your way in the Black Desert, be buried far away by the wind and sand, and never think of it again; This is a legend that belongs to the desert!
