Xia Xue also felt a sore feeling in her heart, and asked Pan Jiang with a frown: "Do you know where Dugu Jun went?" Pan Jiang shook his head and said, "I really don't know." Dugujun only explained to the doctor and I couldn't reveal his poisoning to the public, because only me and the doctor knew that he was poisoned. I didn't say anything else. As for his sudden departure without warning, even I don't know. ”

Pan Jiang was also very anxious when he heard that Dugu Jun had disappeared without saying goodbye.

Xia Xue looked at Ouyang Qian, who had fainted, and Pan Jiang, who was very anxious, thinking that Dugu Jun was desperate to save herself and Ouyang Qian, with a strange poison in her body, life and death unknown, and her heart was like a knife, she gritted her silver teeth and gave a categorical order: "Send someone to investigate around immediately to see where Dugu Jun went?" Even at the end of the earth, he must be found; Even if it is difficult, he must be cured of his poison! ”

Resolute and resolute, just do what you say, is Xia Xue's consistent style. She arranged domestic government affairs on the same day, and the next day she led a hundred people including the Ouyang brothers and sisters, Pan Jiang, the three Zhao brothers, and the selected black-clothed guards to dress up as business travelers, and in groups of five, they went out separately to investigate Dugujun's news.

After thinking about it, she decided to lead a group of people to go to the northern desert to find Long Xiao, the left envoy of Mingjiao, because the kind of strange poison in Dugu Jun is only known to senior members such as the leader of Mingjiao, the left envoy of light, the right envoy of light, and the four protectors of Mingjiao. Long Xiao should give her the antidote, as for the rest of the senior members of the Ming Sect, there is no need to think about it at all, it is good not to kill her, let alone give her the antidote.

I heard that Long Xiao went to the northern desert after the Shuzhou City competition, and no longer paid attention to Mingjiao affairs, so Xia Xue decided to go to Mobei to find Long Xiao and get the antidote before he heard the trace of Dugu Jun. One hundred, a group of five, divided into twenty groups, Xia Xue and Ouyang Qian and the remaining three black-clothed guards as a group, specifically went to the northern desert to find Long Xiao, and the remaining nineteen groups were responsible for exploring Dugu Jun's traces. A month later, they gathered at Yanmen Pass outside the Saiwai to inform each other of the news they had learned.

……

The desolate desert is as vast as the sea of ice, looking up, boundless, only the endless yellow sand is swept by the yellow wind from time to time, and the people who blow can't raise their heads and can't open their eyes. The sun is covered by wild sand, just through a few rays of yellow sunlight, but it is unusually spicy, the sky and the earth seem to be one, a thick piece, you can't see what is in the distance, just a yellow one, no direction, no water source, and in this place, it is easy to lose the fighting spirit.

Looking at the vast, desolate and majestic desert, Xia Xue couldn't help but think of two famous poems by the great poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty: "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river."

Gentle sand dunes with traces of the wind. It's hard to climb, and the flowing sand will make you take a step back.

Camel bells are bursting, and the yellow sand is long

In the barren desert, people are like a grain of dust, humble and insignificant.

Xia Xuetan heard that the "Sword Saint" Long Xiao had returned to an oasis called Moon Lake in the Tengger Desert, but it was so difficult to find a small oasis in the vast desert.

Although the Tengger Desert is extremely hot during the day, Xia Xue still found some of its strange beauty, and did not say that Long Xiao would choose to retreat here.

When the bright light shines on the desert, a piece of golden yellow dyes a variety of colors: one is turquoise, one is as red as chicken blood, and one is as white as a layer of hoarfrost.

When the sun sets, the whole desert is shrouded in the sunset, the color becomes gentle, the orange-red light also blends into the hazy mist, and the desert oasis that flashes from time to time also seems to float in the glow, floating uncertainly.

Under the clear blue sky, the vast desolation of the desert and the lake are intertwined, like a soft picture scroll that stretches for thousands of miles, the afterglow of the sunset, the magnificent Milky Way, and the landscape is extraordinary.

Looking at the desert from afar, all you can perceive is its coldness and dead silence, but when you really go deep into the hinterland, you can feel the endless carnival under the tranquil surface.

There is a rich small world hidden here that is not easy to be discovered by the outside world, and the occasional small members such as lizards that poke their heads out and pass by in a hurry are enough to make Xia Xue and her party cheer, which also adds infinite vitality and vitality to the seemingly lifeless and cold desert.

There are beautiful poplar forests here, in the vast desert where the wind and sand are raging, the scorching sun is like fire, and the cold wind is like cutting, but the poplar can straighten its spine, open its branches, and soar into the sky, not sad for the environment, not sad for the ecology, and incisively interpret the value and power of life...... This is a broad spirit, expanding endlessly along the traces of the vicissitudes of time, standing in the boundless land, standing a bold shadow; A haughty mood climbs up along the sight of time, and in the clear blue and full sky, a magnificent carnival is written.

Xia Xue and his entourage gazed at the poplar forest and felt the tenacity and magic of life.

In the daytime, the boundless desert is like a yellow sea, the sun shines on it, ten thousand points of light shine brightly, and under the scorching sun, the desert rises with waves of heat, making it difficult to breathe. The relentless scorching sun spewed like flames into the earth, and the desert was baked like a steamer, and the heat was overwhelming.

At night, the desert is very cool, and if it is the height of summer, the Tengger Desert at night is simply a summer resort. Xia Xue understands that this is due to the fact that when there is no solar radiation in the desert, the clear weather atmosphere has a weak thermal insulation effect on the ground, and a large amount of heat is lost on the desert ground, the temperature drops quickly, and the temperature also decreases, so the desert night is very cool.

A gust of wind swept by, kicking up a cloud of dust. During the day, the Tengger Desert is still very scary. Not only is it scorching hot, but the Tengger Desert is like a huge mirror palace, no matter which direction you look at, it is a psychedelic sight, every step you take, it seems to be moving towards a huge black hole, dry as if the earth is about to crack, there is no hope of life.

The Tengger Desert is as vast as the sea, the terrain is complex, the climate is harsh, and the illusion is reborn, and most of the people who go deep into the desert are dead. Therefore, no matter how much money was given, no guide was willing to go deep into the desert to guide them, so they only drew a rough and simple map.

According to the map drawn by the guide, after going deep into the desert, after encountering a black hill, there are two small oases far away in the opposite direction of east and west, and the guide does not know where the Moon Lake oasis is, Xia Xue has no choice, so she has to divide the group of five into two groups, and she and Ouyang Qian are a group to explore to the east; The other three black-clothed guards were in a group, led by Li Kang, who had some experience in desert survival, and went west to explore.

The vast desert is boundless, and as far as the eye can see, there is a piece of gold everywhere, and there is no grass. The sun hung viciously in the sky, the sun was dazzling, like a huge fireball, the air seemed to be solidified, occasionally the wind blew, it was also hot and roasted, raising the yellow sand everywhere, whirring and blowing, hitting people's faces, and it hurt.

Climbing over a sand dune, and the road is so long that it seems to never end. On the golden sand dunes, Xia Xue and Ouyang Qian rode camels, wearing hoods, walking slowly against the wind and sand, both of them were a little weak, even the camels that sat down seemed to be unable to withstand such a scorching heat, and lost the stubbornness of the desert boat.

Ouyang Qian has been sad and anxious, her body is getting haggard day by day, and she has been doing ascetic work in the desert for many days, and today she finally couldn't hold it anymore, her eyes were dark, and she fell off the camel, thanks to the soft sand below, she just fainted and was not injured.

Xia Xue hurriedly jumped off the camel and picked up Ouyang Qian, and gave her some fresh water, and after a long time, Ouyang Qian came to her senses. Xia Xue suggested taking a break, but Ouyang Qian was so anxious that she insisted on continuing to move forward, there was no way, Xia Xue helped Ouyang Qian to the camel, and the two continued to walk slowly towards the east of the desert.
