The camels were stronger than the other, and they seemed to be well fed, and at this time Alia had some grass in her hand and fed them, but the camels did not eat them, and tied one to the other, so as to prevent them from getting separated in the desert, and we could not catch up with the camels running in the desert, and if we got lost in the sand, we would have to ask for more blessings at that time, after all, the title of the camel was not for nothing.

Camels are extremely hungry and thirsty, people living on the edge of the desert began to raise camels as early as the third millennium BC, they can survive without water for three weeks, without food can survive for a month, so there are many people domesticated camels, so-called labor livestock, used to carry things or ride, at that time in the desert if there was a war, there would even be camel cavalry.

There are many Bactrian camels in Xinjiang like this, no more dromedary than those areas in Africa, and there is also water stored in this hump, so camels can survive so long without water, and because their stomach wall is attached to water traps, they can also store water, so they can be so thirst-resistant, plus their peculiar structure of the nose, the nasal cavity is covered with curved tiny airways, when they lose a lot of water, the secretions in the nasal cavity will form a hard matter when they breathe, to prevent the loss of water, This brings out the water from the lungs for water use, which is a huge reason why people living on the edge of the desert keep camels.

As for those who raise camels to kill and eat, in fact, I am very taboo, but these herdsmen have no other domestic animals in the desert, camels are not uncommon in Xinjiang, basically accounting for a large part of the country's camel population, so they kill camels to drink camel blood, and even dry camel meat to eat, so it is very strange in the eyes of outsiders, but this is just the way of life of these herdsmen.

"So where do we go from here?" The raven asked Aria, her eyes still glaring at the endless desert terrain a few times, and she added, "Look at this, the compass is really an artifact!" ”

"No, let's not go into the desert first, we get near the Peacock River, first walk along the Peacock River, there is a section of the Peacock River in the city, we get there, but this camel is a little strange to lead, and then we have to walk against the strange eyes of those passers-by!" As she spoke, Alia led the camel in front, and after some discussion, we decided that it was not much of a problem, so we followed behind.

"Have you ever been in the desert before?" Alia asked.

"I've been there, but it's been a long time, and I can't remember how we got there!" My dad replied.

"Is there any feature of that place, the place in Lop Nur is quite big, you can talk about it and understand it, this journey will be much shorter, and we can save a lot of time when we go!"

"I remember there used to be an oasis in that place, I don't know if there is still one!" My father said, when the old lady and Zhang Yuntian heard it, they also responded: "There is indeed an oasis, and it saved our lives at that time." At the mention of this, the old lady was sad and said: "We are the Liu Qingxuan who met at that time, hey, it's a pity, my old friend hasn't even found a bone now!"

At this time, my father and I already knew that the master was Liu Qingxuan, and we all looked at the master, and saw that the master didn't react, so I didn't care so much, as for why Zhang Yuntian and Qianyu knew that the master was Liu Qingxuan, I really didn't dare to think about the reason.

However, the old lady also felt that she could not keep this kind of thing on the sidelines, and hurriedly asked Aria: "Then do you know that oasis?" ”

Alia thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm! Now it's gone, it's all covered with sand, and I'm afraid there is no water left, so I'm telling you to get the water ready! ”

"Even if there is, you can't bring less water, otherwise what will you do in this desert!" I say.

We walked through the city like this, and the people around us looked at us with strange eyes, and before we knew it, we had come to the so-called Peacock River, and if we continued like this, we would be out of the city in a short time.

Speaking of this Peacock River, it is also quite magical, many people in ancient times chose to be buried around the Peacock River, you can imagine how good the feng shui here is, the ancient tomb ditch of the Peacock River is around this river, and I heard that it is not far from Lop Nur, at most seventy or eighty miles away.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the ancient tomb ditch, this ancient tomb ditch is located on the second platform on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Peacock River, that place is slightly higher than the surrounding terrain, forming a small sand dune, which is also an important information for later people to discover the ancient tomb ditch, the general tomb will be like this after some years, and slowly the top will be much higher than the surrounding terrain.

The location of the tomb ditch tomb group, the sand dunes are gentle, and there are many ring-shaped stump marks on the surface, forming a perfect round city, which also symbolizes the consummation of people after death, and later according to scientific determination, these ancient tombs are left by the indigenous people of the Lop Nur area for about 3,800 years.

The reason why the ancient tomb ditch of the Peacock River is famous is because its age of existence is earlier than the ancient country of Loulan in the Lop Nur area, and the existence of Lop Nur is also a basis for the survival of the ancient country of Loulan, and the Peacock River flows out of Bosten Lake, and goes south through the Iron Gate Pass, and finally flows into Lop Nur, but now the section of the river basin flowing to Lop Nur has long been cut off due to the construction of the Iron Gate Pass, which is also a reason for the disappearance of Lop Nur.

After all, the Peacock River in ancient times, the water flow is abundant, the water quality is also very clear, nourishing the land on both sides of the river, nurturing thousands of working people and lives, to the present, you can also find many ancient ethnic relics on both sides of the river, the most prestigious ancient camp here, the ancient tomb ditch and the Peacock River Delta, the ancient country of Loulan is in the lower reaches of the Peacock River, and the Lop Nur area formed a horn trend, but in the end both disappeared together.

And the existence of this tomb ditch makes us more sure that the tomb we are going to must be in the Lop Nur area, otherwise we would not be able to find another place to seek this tomb.

We each rode camels, through the Peacock River tomb ditch area, those camels in front of me up and down walking, the hump is like a small sand dune, moving in front of me, but in the blink of an eye into the desert area, the figure of the Peacock River can not be seen in the distance, when looking back, can only see the Peacock River streamer, we are only around the endless yellow sand land.

"Pull your camels and don't fall!" Alia exclaimed, and it was almost noon, and I couldn't even stand the bright light, and if I hadn't taken a few sips of water, I'd have fallen from heat stroke.

Abu complained even more, and just as he was still complaining that the temperature was too high, a cool breeze blew in his face.
