Chapter 434: Ranran Oasis
Although Blind Liu had explained in great detail, the fat man was still very worried, he had always felt that those sand foxes were not very simple, because after they bit the soldiers, the blood of the soldiers turned into the kind of black blood that emitted a foul smell, so he had always had some doubts that those sand foxes would carry the terrible black blood fever.
Xia Qing's attitude towards this issue is also noncommittal, and she is not sure what happened to Bingzi, but one thing is basically certain, that is, Bingzi's situation should not be optimistic.
The sunset has been for a while, the stars have long been densely covered in the sky, this endless sky looks like this, it is like a cauldron upside down on this Gobi desert, the surrounding looks endless, flat and desolate under the moonlight, if it is not for Liu Blind can also look at the stars and find the pulse, I am afraid that no matter who it is, it will be difficult to find the legendary Loulan goddess tomb.
At night, the Gobi was indifferent, and the silence around was eerily silent, and no other sound could be heard except the sound of the soles of shoes dragging on the ground.
No one spoke, no one wanted to speak, only silently hurried, because no one knew what would happen on this Gobi in the next moment.
Suddenly, the fat man stopped and whispered, "Wait, old Gao, wait......"
Gao Chao was already a little sleepy, he walked in front, only to stop and look back at the fat man.
The fat man undoubtedly saw something again, his eyes were the best, from beginning to end, he was always able to observe some extremely valuable information very sensitively when others had not noticed anything.
This time, he saw it again.
He held up a hand. Pointing to the distance in the southwest direction. A pair of eyes is even a good look. But it also narrowed into a slit.
"Old Gao, take a look, is it ...... over there Is it a tree? By the end, the fat man's voice was already very small, and perhaps it was only because of this sentence that even he himself did not believe it.
Everyone knew that the fat man had good eyes, so they couldn't help but look forward to it.
Sure enough, albeit vaguely. But everyone still saw it.
Just where heaven and earth meet, through the faint moonlight, it seems that there are really a few lush canopies of trees revealed.
Gao Chao rubbed his eyes and wondered: "It seems that there is really a tree, could it be a mirage?" ”
Gao Chao's suspicions were naturally right, after all, it was not the first time they had seen a mirage on this Gobi.
It's just that most of the mirages I saw before are some reflected mountains and rivers, although I know it's fake, but it's spectacular. However, the reason for this is because of the area around the vast Gobi Desert. In fact, it is full of high-altitude mountains and valleys, which is why they are occasionally reflected by the atmosphere, forming a mirage.
But in such a night, especially the ability to reflect a few lush trees, this is really unheard of, unseen, even Liu Blind kept shaking his head, saying that he had lived here for such a long time, and seeing such a mirage, it was really the first time that a big girl sat in a sedan chair.
Although this kind of landscape is very surprising, but everyone doesn't pay attention to it, after all, it is an illusory thing, at most, it is just a matter of looking at it twice and exclaiming, but Xia Qing raised her own doubts, she thinks that the things they see in the distance may not be hallucinations, but real.
According to Xia Qing, the cause of the mirage is caused by the refraction and total reflection of light in the atmosphere, simply put, it is like seeing something behind the corner from a mirror around the corner, but one of the minimum conditions is to have light.
But where does the light come from now, even if the bright moon in the sky is bright, it is just like a faint phosphorescence, how can such light cause a mirage.
In this way, is there really a big tree with lush foliage over there?
Although according to the direction determined by Blind Liu, it should not be the dragon vein he was looking for, but he also said that the dragon vein in the retreat may still be moving, and if it is in the southwest direction, it should not be an exaggeration.
He also said that the dragon vein is where the dragon qi is inherited, and even in such a desolate Gobi desert, it is still possible to grow vegetation near the dragon vein, which is also the appearance of the dragon qi rising.
So everyone finally decided that they still had to go over and check the situation, maybe it was where the dragon vein they were looking for was located.
If it is a dragon vein, Liu Blind can perform the skill of finding the dragon point and bring out the tomb of the Loulan goddess.
Walking on the Gobi always has an illusion, although it looks close, I don't know how far it is, but fortunately, along the way, I can finally see that the canopy in the distance is getting closer and clearer.
However, Gao Chao was not happy, on the contrary, he was even more worried, because along the way, Gao Chao found a few more blood stains on the Gobi, and the blood was still black and still emitted a foul smell.
When the bright moon rises to its highest point, everything ahead is finally clear.
It was hard for everyone to believe their eyes, in front of them, there was an oasis in the Gobi Desert.
Blind Liu spent his life on this Gobi, but even if it was him, it was the first time he had seen such a scene, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, like a hairy child who had never seen the world, the first to run towards that oasis.
Gao Chao followed, but he was not because he was excited, but because he wanted to ensure the safety of Liu Blind.
The oasis is above the Gobi, and the Gobi is indifferent and iron blue in the moonlight, like a ruthless steel knife, but this oasis is like a brilliant gem set in this steel knife, shining with a precious luster, which makes people intoxicated.
It's not a big oasis, but it has a dreamlike feel, it hardly feels like a place on earth.
A sparse but leafy poplar forest, a low-lying but tranquil sandy area, but in the midst of it is a clear blue lake reflecting the starry sky and the moon.
No one could believe that there could be such a beautiful and moving scenery on such a Gobi Desert, which can almost represent death, until they passed through the poplar forest, walked through the sand, and finally stood by the lake, they really accepted such a reality.
It really is an oasis, an oasis of wonders.
The fat man went crazy, he took off his coat roughly, shouted and jumped into the lake first, even Gao Chao did not stop him, but he also had an urge to jump down.
The fat man shouted in the water, "Old Gao, this water is so comfortable, it's so hot." ”
"Hot?" Without waiting for Gao Chao to speak, Xia Qing hurriedly reached out into the water by the lake, and continued with some doubts: "Could it be that the lake water here is a hot spring?" (To be continued.) )
