.

Everyone listened to the singing, followed the sound, and saw that on the shore of Swan Lake in the distance, among the blooming flowers, a girl with a white veil on her head, tall and tall, holding flowers, was waving to them, and there was a younger girl hanging a saber from her waist, standing not far from her, as if on alert.

Mei Duoer and Chun Yuti Ying met, and the two also raised their hands and waved to the white gauze girl.

Fan Xiang looked fixedly, it was the two girls she met at the mouth of the Zidu River yesterday, and she was slightly surprised.

Chun Yu Tiying turned her head, smiled lightly, and said to Fan Xiang: "This girl is the princess of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, named Ayiguli. When the Beigong devils invaded, she used a very secret warehouse in the city to protect more than 300 children, leaving the seeds of life for this ancient city, while her relatives and other city citizens died in the sword soldiers, she was very strong, after the ghost soldiers evacuated, she took these children to use the materials left behind in the city to live a difficult life, after we came, we took out the materials left behind to help us settle the refugees. Now, the city is gradually returning to its former appearance, which is closely linked to her selfless dedication. We all like her, so let's get over it. ”

"Okay, let's go. Fanxiang nodded.

The five of them led the women towards Ayiguli. When Ayiguli and Aisha saw each other, they ran and met them. When he arrived in front of Fanxiang and the others, he looked at everyone and said, "You are finally back, we have been worried for a day and a night,...... We won the battle, right, hehe. ”

Mei Duoer and Chun Yu Tiying looked at Ayiguli and said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, guess who led us to this big victory." His eyes couldn't help but glance at Fanxiang.

"Well, who's that, I guess,...... It's this hero, right? Because before...... Hehe. Ayiguli smiled, her eyes slowly slid over the faces of Mei Duoer and Chun Yu Tiying, and the crystal light flashed in those beautiful blue eyes, and then fell on Fan Xiang's face, with a happy expression, and said, "Well, I'm not wrong, Sister Duo'er." ”

Mei Duoer and Chun Yu Tiying looked at Ayiguli, smiled, and nodded.

Ayiguli walked up to Fan Xiang, looked at Fan Xiang, smiled, held the bouquet of flowers in her hand in front of Fan Xiang's eyes, and said, "Big hero, I will give you this bouquet of flowers, thank you!" When he spoke, his eyes were crooked, he always smiled, and his three-dimensional facial features and exquisite makeup were extremely beautiful.

Fan Xiang was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly waved his hand and thanked him: "You have an overreputation, and the battle is fought by everyone." ”

"Hehe, Brother Fanxiang, you will take this flower! Without your participation in the war, we, we may be ...... now" Mei Duoer and a few others looked at Fanxiang and said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll take it on behalf of all the warriors. Fanxiang took the flower, sniffed it lightly under her nose, and said, "This flower is so fragrant!"

"Of course, the flowers are the spirits of our exquisite oasis, you see, they are the ones who make our world the most beautiful place between heaven and earth!" Ayiguli looked around.

Everyone followed her eyes, only to see the snow-capped mountains, dotted in the tail of the Zduhe River in the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert of the small oasis - the exquisite ancient city, located on a high raised sand dune, from a distance, the terrain is shaped like a lotus, the mountains are green, dotted with beautiful flowers, cattle and sheep herds, people think about it. Under the sand dunes, the forest and grassland have a flannel-like texture, and the naturally formed ravines also show a bewitching form in the light and shade, especially the low hills, without sharp edges and steep edges, some have smooth curves, and some hills are round and round, a rich and lush scene. It has an idyllic picture full of the most textured in the world, and at this time, strolling through the exquisite green grassland is an unforgettable feast for the eyes, and people can't help but sigh: this is the fairy tale in the dream.

The oasis is not mountainous, but its network of rivers, dikes and polders make for a unique landscape. Each inch of land has the density of the most beautiful scenery in nature, which can be described as a pure land in the world.

War brings destruction, while peace can only repair wounds, but only nature can repair everything, including the heart.

Every May, the exquisite earth becomes a canvas and is flooded with flowers. The crisscrossing of flower fields, crisscrossed rivers, and swans on the lake form a unique scenery in the world.

Here you can see:

Deserts, Gobi, canyons, snow-capped mountains

Forests, lakes, rivers, grasslands

All kinds of extreme beauty are unreservedly spread out in front of you

Unartificially carved, primitive and shocking

In life, there must be at least one May left for the exquisite.

yes

Except for this life

We don't have a time for the next life

Go as far as you can!

Fan Xiang and others lingered among the beautiful scenery of this magical oasis, and the sun was already setting in the west, and the fiery red glow spread on this quiet and ancient land. They stood on the grassland outside the east gate of the Exquisite Ancient City, looking at this ancient but young city full of suffering from afar.

The exquisite ancient city is located on the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, in the northeastern part of Kunlun Mountain, above the tail end of the lower reaches of the Zidu River.

The Zduk River originates from the Lüshtag Glacier at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, the average width of the Zdu River bed is two miles, the river flows from south to north, the distance of the river is more than 500 miles, and finally it goes deep into the hinterland of the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, converging into this wide and clear Swan Lake, and the water system is the "exquisite oasis".

An exquisite oasis with a backdrop to the reckless Kunlun and facing the endless desert. The sand dunes in the whole territory are continuous, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and it slopes from west to east. From May to September, the water flow of the Zidow River accounts for 79% of the year. At other times, the flow below the middle reaches is basically cut off, and it is mainly replenished by spring water. Within the water system, wheat, millet, corn, cotton, cranberry, cabbage, sheep, cattle, camels, and horses can be planted. Between the sand dunes and sand ridges at the end of the Zduhe River, more than 50 li long from north to south and about 20 li wide from east to west, this vast and beautiful land is full of monasteries, government offices, residential complexes, plantations, leather, iron-smelting workshops and cemeteries.

They walked along the meadow to the east of the dunes towards the Exquisite Ancient City.

A group of people are cutting down red willow trees and other trees outside the city, hoping to repair their homes and buildings that have been destroyed by the war. Due to the harsh living environment, in order to block the wind and sand, the people who fled here used thick poplar wood as the main frame of their houses, and then woven reeds and red wicker into walls, and covered the walls with thin soil, or woven fences outside the walls.

"The wind is down, ......" A few half-grown young men and a group of old men tightened the rope tied to the poplar tree from a distance, shouting a loud trumpet, and a big tree with flourishing branches in May fell violently, and Fan Xiang felt the ground tremble slightly.

The humans and demons who had fled here worked together to chop down entire woods with axes and saws, and some began to remove branches from the huge trees and smooth out the bulges, as if they were sorting out the remains of a dead man. The fallen branches and leaves on the trees are like hair, scattered on the grassland, a mess. The tidying tree trunk was quickly dragged away by some young women on a sled. Leaving only branches and leaves, and bark, lying on the ground like a mutilated limb, unconscious.

For several days, with their axes and saws, the vast forests of the steppe had been reduced to barren hills, and only a few short stakes remained in the grass of the detached plains, as if to tell later generations that we once existed here.

The group of strangers who had taken refuge here seemed to take it for granted that these species, which did not belong to them, were now allowed to be occupied and used by them, without reverence. Their felling can only be described as crazy, those swaying red willow trees, the green mulberry trees, the perseverance of the sand date trees, as well as the poplars, apricot trees, peach trees, apple trees, etc., even the reeds in May have not been spared, what they see cut down, each household is unorganized and undisciplined, self-inflicted, hundreds of iron axes, machetes, short saws, all the tools that can be used, for several days, a group of people are like a swarm of locusts, where only a stump remains.

People cut farther and farther, leaving only bare stumps on the ground.

Fan Xiang walked over and gently stroked the new section of the remaining stump, like a scar the size of a bowl, and drops of juice oozed out, like transparent blood, and he seemed to feel a sharp pain in his body being cut or pierced. He looked up and saw Mei Duoer and Chun Yu Tiying standing in front of him, tears in their eyes. Their hands were also placed on the section of the stump, and they caressed them gently, and those two hands were like caressing the smooth skin of a baby, showing him the pain and trembling of their hearts, and even resonance.

In order to avoid the sand and the sun for a while, they cut down as many tall plants as they could see, and at this time, the exquisite ancient city can be said to be a city made of all wooden buildings, and you can imagine how many trees will be used. It is this uncontrolled deforestation that has led to the dwindling number of trees, which has led to even fewer water sources in the future. Perhaps, such a thing happens every day in different parts of this world, and the surviving humans are indifferent.

It is a great irony for the living that some great and ancient relics were not destroyed in times of war, but disappeared in times of peace!

All these great beings who once prospered, noisy, proud, and shimmered in this world will now, together with the splendid civilization, power and wealth, glory and dreams they have created, all be erased by the ruthless greed of mankind, and none of them will be spared!

Reflecting on the history of mankind, human beings are always greedy, and often eat a trench but cannot grow a wisdom.

The five of them stood up, looked at the once verdant woods here with regret, and gradually walked through the grassland, walking towards the east gate of the Exquisite Spirit.

As we got closer, we could see that the imposing walls of the royal city, made of rammed earth, had been destroyed by the fighting of a few months earlier, and only a few ruins of the ruins had been buried by transpiration and gravel. Most of the walls surrounding the ancient city have been reduced to ashes under iron hooves. This military disaster, the history books did not leave a tangible record, only remember that the entire exquisite ancient city was reduced to ruins, the remnants of the exquisite people scattered and fled, this prosperous ancient country for more than 1,000 years, completely disappeared in the dust of beacon smoke, and will reappear in the world with a new look.

The ruins of the ruined royal city include moats, city walls, the Great Buddha Temple, the Khan's Fort and other dilapidated buildings after the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, and you can still vaguely see only the citizens who took refuge later.

Fan Xiang and the others crossed the dry moat, walked into the huge abandoned gate of the ancient city, walked through the broken doorway, and stepped onto the streets of the city.
