Chapter 153: Moon Lake
The curtain of black and blue sky, the moonlight is like water, pouring down, falling on the boundless, rolling desert, softly glowing with silver-white light.
At night, the desert is as dead silent, with the occasional wind and sand rising. A strong smell of meat suddenly came, in an open space behind the tent, there was a faint firelight, Ouyang Qian bypassed the tent, and saw an empty sandy place, a beautiful girl like a fairy was sitting there in a chic posture and roasting game, and the wind came with a drooling aroma.
Ouyang Qian walked over and sat down at random, a blue and white cotton robe glowing in the cold moonlight. Her eyes were fixed on the campfire, and her expression was blank.
Xia Xue was dressed in a blue jacket, with a blue cloak on the outside, her posture was graceful, she continued to roast the game in her hands, and said with a light smile: "I caught two hares on the way back, I was lucky, I can taste fresh roast rabbit meat tonight." ”
The aroma on the shelf is getting stronger and stronger, and the rabbit meat is already golden brown, constantly dripping with oil, which looks very tempting. Ouyang Qian's nose moved, and she took a deep breath, her stomach finally became hungry, because she had been indulging in sadness and anxiety, she had not felt hungry for a long time.
Ouyang Qian exclaimed: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to have this skill?" ”
Suddenly, I remembered Dugu Jun again, and a sadness hit my heart, I didn't know what to say, and some inexplicable emotions were in my throat, making it more and more difficult to breathe.
"I've said it, you can't be sad anymore, for yourself and your handsome brother, you can't be sad and anxious anymore, you have to take good care of your body, and go to see him beautifully and healthily." Xia Xue chuckled, picked up the shelf and tore off a rabbit leg, Ouyang Qian just wanted to pick it up, but Xia Xue blocked her hand and said, "Wait, it's hot." As he spoke, he reversed his left and right hands back and forth, constantly blowing on his air. After a while, he handed it to Ouyang Qian and said, "Okay, you can eat, be careful of burning your mouth." ”
Ouyang Qian tore off a small piece of meat and put it in her mouth, she only felt fragrant but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious, squinted her eyes with a smile, stretched out her greasy hand and gave a thumbs up, with meat in her mouth, and said vaguely: "It's delicious." ”
Xia Xue was very happy when she heard this, and said, "Then eat more." As he spoke, he took out a knife and cut the other rabbit leg into small pieces and placed it on a rack over a low fire.
Ouyang Qian glanced at her and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Xia Xue smiled: "I'm so happy to see that you finally start eating sweetly, just watch you eat now." ”
Ouyang Qian's heart warmed, tears flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head and continued to bury her head in hard work.
Ouyang Qian quickly ate half of the rabbit leg, the rabbit in the desert was more fragrant and beautiful than the one in the forest, she felt that this was the best rabbit meat she had ever tasted.
The night in the desert is always beautiful, the moon seems to hang in the place where you can reach out, big and round, yellow and bright, there are meager clouds in the sky, swaying back and forth, the desert is white, and it seems to be the snowfield of the north in the moonlight. Xia Xue hugged her knees, the red fire shone on her charming face, there was an indescribable beauty, the years did not seem to have left any footprints on her body, how many years, those eyes are still so clear and beautiful, flashing with the light of wisdom and sharp brilliance.
Ouyang Qian lowered her head and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely listen to you in the future, eat and sleep well, and take care of your body......"
Xia Xue smiled brightly, and said with bright eyes: "That's right!" ”
In this world, there is a kind of woman, she is dazzling, extraordinary, has all the beauty that ordinary people dream of, and cares so much about you, meeting her is the greatest luck in a person's life, Ouyang Qian silently rejoiced in her heart: "I am so lucky to meet such a good person as Sister Xue'er!" ”。
……
After an arduous journey, Xia Xue and the others finally found the Moon Lake Oasis where Long Xiao retreated.
The grass is green, the lake is clear, and the sky is full of clouds. Everywhere the wind passes, the reeds are like light yarns, white and misty, up and down. Occasionally, a few mallards fly out of the reeds and fall into the lake. There is also a group of cranes in the shallow water, with white feathers and red beaks, dancing lightly.
"This is the legendary Moon Lake, it's so beautiful!" Xia Xue and Ouyang Qian exclaimed in unison.
On one side is the endless desert, where no grass grows, making people desperate; On one side, the water is rippling, the grass and trees are verdant, and it is a scene full of life. The combination of disparate natural landscapes is truly breathtaking.
Under the clear blue sky, the undulating sand dunes are as high and low as solidified waves, and the soft lines show its extraordinary charm, and the empty mirage of Haijing is like an ethereal wonderland in the desert.
It is said that there are six springs at the bottom of the mysterious Moon Lake, and the spring water is bubbling all day long. Every time the sandstorm came, it covered the sky and the sun, like a raging tide, raging wildly, and the wind that carried the sand and gravel waved like a galloping knife. Don't miss a leaf, a flower. The amazing thing is that when the grains of sand pass over the Moon Lake, not a single grain falls into the lake. The Moon Lake is full of water all year round.
"Suffering some must be for something worthwhile", Xia Xue couldn't help but think of a movie line. Xia Xue understood why Long Xiao chose this place as a retreat. I believe that this desert trek will definitely leave a strong mark in everyone's hearts, especially Ouyang Qian, this memory, the memory of blood and tears, will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
The tall and burly "Sword Saint" Long Xiao suddenly saw the fairy and jade Queen of the Angel Kingdom visiting, he was both happy and surprised, and hurriedly warmly entertained him.
After he retired to the rivers and lakes, he and several of his most loyal disciples came to Moon Lake to live and practice, this wonderful place was accidentally discovered by him when he was young and accidentally lost in the Tengger Desert, and since then he has fallen in love with this paradise.
Long Xiao likes to be quiet, and due to the vast and harsh desert obstruction, there are very few people who can find Moon Lake, so it is a good place for cultivating one's mind. There are fish, oases and many small animals in the lake, and you can also grow some food, and there is a small saltwater lake not far from here, and you can also make lake salt, so you can meet the basic needs of life in this place.
When he learned the ins and outs of the matter, he was very indignant at the shameless behavior of Fang Tian, the leader of the Ming Sect, because of his private assassination, he felt that Fang Tian's reckless behavior would destroy the Ming Sect, and he was not a qualified sect leader at all.
Long Xiao is more proud, and the only person he admires in his life is Xia Xue, the queen of the Angel Kingdom, so he agreed to Xia Xue's antidote request in one bite. He gave Xia Xue some prepared antidote pills and told the recipe of the antidote, so that Xia Xue could make the antidote by herself. He told her that Mingjiao this strange poison needs to be taken within an hour after poisoning to have the best effect, and now it has been delayed for a long time, and it is necessary to take the antidote for at least half a year to a year to slowly remove all the toxins in the body, which is a relatively long process, which requires patience, and it also depends on the physical fitness and immunity of the poisoned person, if the physical fitness is very good, it may be faster to recover after taking the medicine.
Xia Xue looked at the recipe for the antidote written by Long Xiao for her, which contained snow lotus, saffron, bitter ginseng, licorice, dandelion, black plum, houttuynia cordata, honeysuckle, banlan root, Poria cocos, skullcap, andrographis and other Chinese herbal medicines, it seems that most of the medicinal materials are commonly used medicinal materials that are relatively easy to find, except for snow lotus and saffron, which can only be picked on the icebergs of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
After Xia Xue thanked Long Xiao, she immediately rushed to Yanmen Pass with Ouyang Qian.
Half a month later, Xia Xue and Ouyang Qian finally walked out of the Tengger Desert, walked for many days, and finally came to Yanmen Pass. It seems that nothing has changed in the pass, and it is still bustling with people. Xia Xue and Ouyang Qian walked in the crowd with camels, veiled, looking like two women from Fanbang. After walking for about half an hour, passing by a restaurant, the two handed the camel to the little man at the door, went in by themselves to find a relatively quiet table, ordered a few meals casually, sat down quietly, and looked out casually through the window, they were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the other groups.
