Chapter 55: The Great Food of the Western Regions
Mo Yan looked at the undulating Gobi Desert in the distance, as boundless as the vast sea.
There is also a thin layer of white snow on the Gobi Desert, as if it was covered with a layer of white salt.
Not only does the desert give people a sense of desolation, but even the breath of life is difficult to detect.
Along the way, there are almost no people in sight, and occasionally some small lives are still tenaciously active.
"Little gold bar, will this little fox lead the way?" She couldn't help but complain: "What kind of road is this? ”
"She's lived for hundreds of years, and I'm afraid she's the only one who is familiar with these places." The little gold bar didn't dare to blink an eye along the way.
The little fox said that if he kept going south, the weather would not be so bad, and he had been walking for three days, and the snow in this place was really much thinner.
Mo Yan watched that it was getting late, and he hadn't seen a place to rest, so he couldn't lie on the ground and lay on the floor on such a cold day!
No wonder the little fox wanted to bring so many people, and the carriage pulled a few cars, all of which were for food.
This nomadic people often come to make a big migration, so they have everything to prepare.
"How......" A large eagle flew from a distance and hovered over their heads.
"Big guy is going to pick up the speed, we're almost to Cardin." Sarim shouted at the people behind him and slapped his horse forward.
"What is Cardin?" Mo Yan muttered.
"It's a race!" Small gold bars are just guesswork.
It was only before dark that they saw lights in the distance, and if they looked closely, they were yurts.
No, there is a city wall, just because the eagle eagle flew over and stood on the city wall and kept flapping its wings, as if to say come soon!
Finally arrived at the place, Mo Yan led the horse to the bottom of the city.
"Yanyan, this is an ancient city, the beams are broken, and I don't know how many years have passed?" Small gold bars swim along the city walls.
"This is Cardin Devil's Town." Sarim led the horse and walked over, without any intention of continuing.
"Cardin Devil's Town?" Mo Yan didn't expect that there were city walls and sculptures in this place, and its images were vivid and subtle, which made the world jaw-dropping.
The whole looks like a thousand-year-old city, and although it is dark now, you can still see the edges and corners of the ancient city.
These mounds are as tall as four stories high, and the side walls of the mounds are steep.
The ground forms ravines of varying depths, and the exposed stone layers are carved into strange shapes by the wind.
Some grinning teeth, like monsters, some are towering, the butterflies are distinct, they can be called ghostly workmanship, wonderful and endless, let people see the amazement.
Listen carefully, there are faint ghosts in this devil's city, and you can't come out at night, no wonder it's called the devil's city.
Mo Yan closed his eyes, and the whole picture suddenly changed, as if there were ripples on the water surface, the pavilions, the eaves were like the roofs, and the magnificent palace was rippling in the water ripples.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white skeleton, either sitting or lying, and some holding knives in their hands, and there were also complete skeletons that resembled animals, and the strange thing was that the animal skeletons were either inserted with knives or arrows.
It's not hard to guess that there was a fight here, where all kinds of strange animals invaded humans, and then a war broke out.
Suddenly, a magnificent palace appeared before her, with round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, and doorframes protruding from each other, and the vaults of various shapes had a feeling of solidity and heaviness.
A long figure like a Hu Yang tree in the desert, majestic and upright, he was wearing a crimson robe, long black hair, fluttering on his broad shoulders, and those green eyes like jewels, unpredictable......
"Yanyan, what's wrong with you?" The little gold bar saw surprise in her frightened eyes?
"Uh......" The whole scene switches back as the little gold bar swims onto her shoulder.
She was hallucinating? This Devil's Town is too scary, isn't it?
Fortunately, with the little gold bar by her side, she will have a sense of security, and she has long been used to having him.
It is even more modest than the Hezhe dwellings, but there is a shelter from the wind in this environment, and the food is more abundant.
There is a lake not far from here, but over the years, the riverbed has dried up and the lake has gradually shrunk.
Mo Yan was groggy, and he always felt that there seemed to be some restless factors in the sand, as if there were bursts of whispers, like whispers, chattering, making people uneasy.
"Little fox, let's rest for another day tomorrow!" The little gold bar came out to discuss with the little fox.
"Yesterday we had a day off, everyone washed up just now, and tomorrow we will go south again, and the weather will be warmer." The little fox didn't want to offend him.
"How many days do you estimate you'll have to go?" He didn't want Mo Yan to be too tired.
"If you walk like this for two days and one day off, I'm afraid you will have to walk for twenty days!" The little fox looked up at the sky.
"Are you sure you won't get lost?" The little gold bar no longer embarrassed her.
"Great Food Western Regions, that is a mysterious and fascinating place, and it is also a place I have always dreamed of going!"
"Great Food Western Regions ......" The small gold bar looked at the sky along her gaze, the vague crescent moon and the wandering dark clouds exuded a trace of sadness.
Legend has it that the Great Food of the Western Regions is a mysterious and distant place where the secrets of ancient civilizations are stored, and Ada Khan went in order to save Alan.
There was Alam in front of him, and Ada Khan in the back, and the little fox was convinced that the Blood Lotus was in that mysterious place, and that there was a treasure.
She believed in the words of a dying man, and even more so in the legend of the Blood Lotus.
Although Xiao Jinbar believed her words, he only went to break into it in order to get the blood lotus.
"Yes, Great Food Western Regions, you should have heard of it." The little fox said without looking back: "There are secrets of ancient civilizations stored there, but I don't care about these. ”
"All you need is the Blood Lotus." He squinted his eyes and turned around: "All the surprises and good luck in the world are your accumulated character and kindness. ”
Notes: What Mo Yan said.
Belch......
When the little fox looked back, he was already gone: "Don't you want to get the Blood Lotus?" ”
There is also a legend that I don't know, do you know?
