From Chang'an to the west, after five or six days of trekking, the caravan finally left the prosperous Central Plains royal capital and entered the relatively barren desert Gobi, from here, it was the road to Yumen Pass, an important border town of the Tang Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Similarly, together with the customs and folklore, there is also a significant difference compared with the foot of the imperial capital.

And before passing through the Longmen Canyon and officially entering the Longmen Desert, Ren Yunji, who had been in the car for several days, finally had the opportunity to move his hands and feet. However, it is a pity that outside of this small post station, there is only boundless yellow sand everywhere, and the dry hot wind mixed with the smell of sweat makes Ren Yunji, who is accustomed to pure yang wind and snow, somewhat unprepared.

"What, is it the first time for the little young master to come to Longmen?"

After a moment of trance, a middle-aged man who was also dressed elegantly approached Ren Yunji... Although nominally, he, the young master, is the leader of this caravan, but in fact, he doesn't know anything about business and other things, and all his affairs are handled by the Steward Zhang in front of him. Along the way, although the housekeeper didn't know the true identity of Ren Yunji, he was familiar with them.

"It's... It made Steward Zhang smile, I really have never been to Longmen. ”

"Hey! How dare you dare, the little young master is tormented, rough people like us often walk and jump the rivers and lakes, and there are naturally more places to run, the little young master has been a golden body since he was a child, and this bumpy road is hard for you. ”

Butler Zhang Quanzhang is very good at talking, even though he knows that there are many sycophants in his words, but looking at the kind smile on the middle-aged man's face, he still feels very useful in his heart, so Ren Yunxian also returned a smile, and then signaled that he and Mr. Fang wanted to walk together and ended the conversation for the time being.

In fact, the post station of this Longmen Canyon is not small, but after all, this is the throat road of the Tang Dynasty linking the northwest outer region, there are a lot of traders coming and going every day, and the terrain of the canyon limits the scope of the camp, coupled with the boundless desert sea all around, which has created the current situation of overcrowding and less people. The entire camp was left with only a narrow passage for carriages and horses, and in some places there was no way to accommodate two vehicles running side by side.

But it is also in this place, the left and right sides of the post station are peddling all kinds of strange things, from clothing and playthings, to snacks and famous spots, many objects that cannot be seen in the Central Plains are always placed here The entire small street, just now, Ren Yunxian even saw someone selling the famous shadowless knife of the Dayue Clan, which is really incredible.

"What? If the little master has a fancy for any treasure, he might as well buy it, Master Zhang's family is rich, and he shouldn't care about this fraction. ”

"Mr. Fang, don't laugh..."

Shaking his head helplessly, of course Ren Yunxian knew that they were far from reaching their destination now, and it was useless to be anxious, Dongfang Zimo said this just to relieve the worries in his heart.

"I'm just curious, it seems that there will be no fewer surprises on this trip..."

"Haha, actually, I'm thinking, these strange objects should be very interesting to the Xia guards, why don't the three of us have a good time in this Longmen Gorge?"

“… Forget it, that guy just went drinking with the other guards of the caravan, and he won't care about us for a while. ”

I don't know who made the character setting, the beggar gang disciples seem to be doomed to alcohol from the beginning, Ren Yunxian even suspected that Xia Dong'an arranged such a big identity for himself just to not lack that little bit of wine money... Of course, this kind of thing is actually just thinking about it.

Of course, he understands that it is impossible to get so many things done with Xia Dong'an's help for the purpose of this kind of child's play, and even in conscience, this kind of heroic style of frank self is not annoying, but personality and habits are sometimes so difficult, too many things are actually not right or wrong, just likes and dislikes.

"That's it, I'll talk about this later, but since I've entered the scope of the desert, it's better to understand what things need to be paid attention to in the desert first... After all, it is a newcomer, and even if it avoids man-made disasters, natural disasters are unpredictable. ”

"On this point, it's not the first time I've come to Mobei."

"Oh? Mr. Fang has been to Longmen... That's right, it's not unusual for you to walk the world and come here. ”

"Hah! Yeah! It's not the first time this hero has come, little master, if you have anything to do, you might as well ask me directly, and you will be satisfied! ”

Ren Yunji was talking to Dongfang Zimo, and next to the stall on the street, Xia Dong'an, who had a windmill pinned to his waist and a wine pot in his hand, suddenly appeared! I watched him go to drink with those guards, but I didn't expect to come back so quickly... It's just that at this moment, although he put on the gray-blue armed suit of the Zhang family's guards, no matter how you look at it, he still looks sloppy.

Ay... It's really a dragon robe for Hanako, no matter how much she picks it up, she doesn't look like a prince.

complained silently in his heart, Ren Yunxian didn't show the slightest expression in his mouth, and even slightly bowed his hand to ask for advice.

"That's just right, I was also about to ask, they all said that the climate here in Longmen is weird, the wind is fierce and the sand is fierce, I don't know if the Xia guards have heard of the black sandstorm?"

Regarding this long-standing desert anecdote, Ren Yunji actually only knows a little about it, and after all, he has only heard of it. Legend has it that the black sandstorm will come every fifty years, when the sky is dark, the sun and the moon are dark, let alone people, even the rolling sand mountains will be blown to pieces, and the terrain around the entire dragon gate will even change because of this...

So as soon as he arrived at the Dragon Gate, in addition to worrying about the minions of the Ming Sect, Ren Yunxian was more concerned about this natural disaster, after all, this kind of heaven and earth catastrophe was no longer beyond the control of human power, and if it really happened, there would not even be a chance to get out.

"Well, I've also heard about the black sandstorm, and I'm also very curious, I don't know if Guardian Xia can give me advice."

"Hey, hey, one of you is a young master, and the other is a gentleman, where do I dare to teach!" Xia Dong'an smiled heartlessly, and then continued to speak, "As for the black sandstorm, it does exist, but it doesn't have to be once in fifty years, at least in the past hundred years, my brother has never heard of the black sandstorm, but right now, in addition to this natural disaster, we have other troubles." ”

"Oh? What does Xia Guard mean..."

"Well, the two of you have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, I don't know if you have heard of the sand evil?"
