Volume 12 The End of the Desert Chapter 56 The Fountain in the Desert
The yellow sand is everywhere, and in this vast land, there is a vast desert, and the golden sand forms sand dunes against the blue sky. On this desert, a small camel caravan is moving, and the camel bell is sounding in the endless wind and sand, drifting far, far away. In the vast desert, only these desert boats can cross slowly, whether it is a peerless horse that travels thousands of miles a day or a bullock that can be called 800 miles, can not conquer the harshest environment in nature.
"The sky is so blue, there is not a trace of clouds, such a blue sky is really beautiful! Sister Red Sleeves, why do you say it's blue on this day? Tianxiang sat on the back of a camel, dressed in lake-green clothes, which looked more vivid and lively against the backdrop of the yellow sand all over the ground, and seemed to be like a delicate maid who came out of the picture of a timeless lady. But now she tilted her head and asked about the red sleeves of her red shirt that were as big as a flame on one side.
"This, I really don't know, if you ask the master, he must know!" Red Sleeves was stumped by this question, why was it blue on this day, how did she know, isn't it blue without clouds blocking it.
"Master!" The little girl turned her head to look at Li Kuan. A pair of big eyes full of hope, she really wanted to know why the sky was blue, could it be that there was a blue wall in the sky.
"Tianxiang, do you know what the biggest thing on the earth is?" Li Kuan asked with a smile, he was very relaxed this way, there was not much concern in Chang'an, he walked very freely, took the three women all the way to the west, and walked into this large desert, this is a dead desert for the rest of the people, Li Kuan didn't think about it and broke in with a small camel caravan, because the biggest threat in the desert is the lack of water, but although Li Kuan's energy consumption is almost bottomed out. But the cheapest fresh water was still available, and under this desert, there were endless reserves of oil, and these places were still deserted, so they could be described as borderless lands, and he laughed at them since he came.
So this has come all the way. The rest of the people are big bags and small bags of fresh water, but it is still a trip to the desert, Li Kuan and they can be said to be walking like a tour, climbing the sand dunes to watch the sunset over the long river, lying on the sand at night, looking at the stars in the sky, until they feel cold and cold, they get into the tent, and this tent is just a prop to hide people's ears. After propping up every day, there is a hole inside, thick sleeping bags and even small beds, and such days slip away in the desert scenery as they tour.
During this time, Cui Yufei followed Li Kuan all the way and saw the magic of Li Kuan, and every time he looked at him, it was a different kind of resentment: this guy has such a magical ability, and he is not dominant. Don't fight for the throne. It's really a tyrannical thing, and it has such an ability. So whether it is leading the army to fight a war or providing relief for famine, it can definitely gather the hearts of the people, and even directly win the love of the people of the Tang Dynasty who surpasses Li Er on the throne today. In this way, he will definitely become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But she didn't know why this guy was so repulsive to being the emperor, could it be that the supreme throne was a great disaster in his eyes? He was absolutely unmoved?
"Li Kuan, your hand. But the ability to shake the past and the present! Since you have such good conditions, no matter what you do, you are better than now, why are you so unmotivated? Cui Yufei still asked the question in her heart.
"What? Do you think you'll be able to achieve unprecedented success with this alone? Then all I can say is that you are so naïve, no one is a fool, and you think that I can take a huge country with an army on such a rampage? Did you know that wars kill people? Even if you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Don't worry about the blade armor, but where do people come from? Over the years, I have been on the battlefield a few times, but which one of them really relied on swords and guns to fight the enemy one by one? First of all, I can bring no more than 10,000 soldiers. With such a number of people in place, where do you think you can rush to kill? Secondly, the away battle, no matter which time, is to fight on the land of the people, the enemy has a geographical advantage, and what do we have? Only weapons are a little stronger than others. But this point cannot determine the outcome of the war, because no one is hunted down and killed every time, because they can't afford to fight! Li Kuan shook his head, he knew that he could indeed lead a group of soldiers who were not afraid of no supplies and baggage, but the most important source of soldiers was the biggest problem, no matter how much food there was, no matter how much blades and armor there were, no one would be in vain.
"And what about the interior? Then you don't need human lives to fill it, your hand is the strongest means of disaster relief and helping the people, and buying people's hearts is first-class! As long as you show yourself in front of those displaced victims, there will definitely be countless people who will respect you like a god! Cui Yufei then asked questions.
"Haha...... What a naivety! Do you really think that those civil and military officials are vegetarians? Buying the hearts of the people, this is the best attack pigtail in their eyes, my father is still in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and if he makes such a move, he will die early enough! Li Kuan smiled self-deprecatingly, he didn't think about being in charge of the Tang Dynasty, but he finally gave up, because Li Er, because he didn't want to be bound, of course, the most important thing is that when he led his troops to fight, he just governed more than 1,000 people, and as a result, every day's affairs made him very busy, so that he knew that he was not a person to lead the material, and it was terrible to think about countless twists and turns every day, and he also had to make judgments and instructions, and a slight mistake was related to the fate of tens of millions of people, such a heavy burden, He couldn't afford it, and if he made a mistake, he would never be able to forgive himself.
"Master! I've got it...... The biggest mountain in the world is the mountain! Look, that mountain is so big......" The heavy topic was interrupted by Xiao Tianxiang's words, only to see her stretching out her hand and pointing to a huge sand dune in the distance, and then said in a loud voice.
"Haha...... That's the mountain? Mountains are the biggest! Li Kuan and Cui Yufei both looked at each other and smiled, this girl is really innocent and cute, but her vision is only a little bit, how can she be as open as the two of them.
"Tianxiang, it's wrong, think about it, you've seen the biggest thing! Think again! Li Kuan reminded.
"Really? But Tianxiang really can't remember, no matter where it is, there are mountains! It's so tall, it's so big, it's bigger than any tree, it's bigger than any animal! And these mountain bags are not the largest, Jade Mountain, and those high mountains in the land of Nabashu, which we have seen together before! The little girl counted with her fingers, and seemed to have seen too many mountains, and she didn't know which one was the biggest.
"What a stupid girl, the mountain is not the biggest, the biggest is the sea!" Li Kuan directly said the answer.
"Really...... The sea is the biggest, no wonder it's called the sea! Tianxiang thought about it, and it seemed that the sea was really bigger than the mountain. She had seen the sea, as far as the eye could see, as if it were sea water all the way to the end of the sky. "But what does it have to do with the fact that the sea is the largest and the sky is blue?" The little girl still doesn't understand.
"What color is the sea?" Li Kuan reminded that although this girl is also a smart little girl, she just doesn't like to use her brains, and even many times, she looks extraordinarily naïve.
"The sea is blue! But the sky is also blue, just not as blue as the sea! Does it matter? The sea is on the ground, the sky is overhead, and they are different! Tianxiang still didn't understand: "Master, just say it directly, it's too difficult!" ”
"What do you see when you stand on the beach?" Li Kuan asked.
"It's the beach!" Xiao Tianxiang replied.
"I'm convinced!" Li Kuan couldn't help but have a headache, this girl is sometimes smart, but sometimes she just can't turn around: "Except for the beach?" ”
"Shells and spray!" The answer made Li Kuan almost fall off the back of the camel: "Look farther!" Look to the farthest reach! ”
"There's nothing there! There's just one line! Tianxiang thought about it, and then said.
"That's right! That's the horizon, and if you think about what's on either side of that line? Li Kuan then asked.
"On one side is the sea, on the other side is the sky!" Tianxiang seemed to think of the answer: "That's it, the sea and the sky converge on that line, and then the sea dyes the sky blue!" Tianxiang shouted.
"Okay, it's good to know, what are you calling!" Li Kuan gave the little girl a chestnut.
"It's going to be stupid! Bad master! The little girl pouted and grimaced at Li Kuan.
"What's that?" At this moment, Red Sleeves suddenly exclaimed, only to see her stretching out her hand and pointing in the direction in the distance, with a shocked look on her face.
"Wow! What's that, a black pillar! Tianxiang glanced at it and shouted loudly.
"What is your name, girl? That's a tornado! It's black, it's all sand, and if you are swept into it, your life will be gone! Li Kuan's face was also solemn. He has never faced this incomparable power of nature, and it can be regarded as her luck, she has run on the sea so many times, and has not encountered a storm, and now she is facing the power of heaven and earth for the first time.
"So what to do?" Cui Yufei was also a little flustered.
"That's not sand, that's oil!" I wipe, Li Kuan called out in his heart, I didn't expect this tornado to blow out a hidden oil field, oil is flying all over the sky, now if you light a fire, you can watch the most magical fire tornado.
"Absorb energy!" Li Kuan replied to the system's inquiry, and then only saw the endless oil quietly dissipating in the tornado, as if it was blown into the air by the strong wind. But Li Kuan knew that all this oil had been turned into energy and was absorbed by him, leaving only a little wreckage, which was blown away by the strong wind.
"Redeem, Tamsui!" Li Kuan suddenly began to exchange fresh water, because he had to fight the tornado that was coming at them.
Suddenly, in the middle of the desert, a thick column of water suddenly erupted from the sand dunes where Li Kuan and the others were alive, like a dragon coming out of the water, and rushed straight towards the raging tornado. (To be continued.) )
