Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 218 Mirage
There is also some preparation to be made before entering the desert, because horses are no longer suitable for entering the desert, and in addition to bringing plenty of fresh water, you have to change to a large mount called a 'moose'.
The hooves of the moose are several times larger than the horse's paw and shaped like a basin, so that they will not fall into the soft yellow sand, although the speed is not as fast as the horse, but the endurance is far superior to the horse, and it is very suitable for walking in the desert.
After preparing everything for them, the Wulan brothers and sisters drove their horses to the edge of the desert to send Yun Hao and the three of them to the edge of the desert, and then reluctantly said goodbye to a few people.
The first time I saw the vast desert, it was indeed a great shock, full of boundless yellow sand, the scorching sand of the sun made the air distorted, and the wind blowing with sand grains made people very uncomfortable.
Yun Hao had already begun to regret his decision to enter the desert, but Wanyan Duxue was very peaceful, while Shangguan Luoyi felt that this place was full of desolation and vastness, and was thinking of filling in the words to express his state of mind, and he was not affected by the harsh environment at all.
"The west shadow of the sunset is obliquely shining, and the yellow sand is desolate in the north. Birds fly in the desert and dust, and there is no trace of people in the flat sand. Shangguan Luoyi sighed with emotion.
Yun Hao had been drowsy from the sun, and said weakly: "The desert sandstorm is desolate, and the eyes are full of graves. ”
Wanyan Duxue sneered out laughing, clapped her hands and said, "Good verses, appropriate to the occasion." ”
Shangguan Luoyi held back his eyes at the dejected Yun Hao, and said secretly: "Come here again to make such crooked poetry and strange tunes, you can't make trouble for the first place else." ”
Yun Hao was most concerned about when he would be able to reach the Hall of Eternal Life at this time, so he asked, "How long will it take to go?" ”
Wanyan Duxue said: "I have just entered the desert, how can I arrive so quickly, I have not entered the desert for many years and still have to find a way forward, this matter is not in a hurry, if you accidentally lose your way, you will be trapped in this desert." ”
The vegetation in the desert is scarce, and the sand dunes will move with the wind and sand, so if you want to find the right path, you must identify the direction through the clues and the sun in the sky.
But fortunately, Wanyan Duxue has a special method, and the Hall of Eternal Life will be used as a special mark of the stone to bury in the yellow sand
, just find the stones and follow the instructions to find the location of the temple.
However, due to the varied landscape of the desert, it will take a lot of effort to find these stones.
After two days of traveling in the desert, Shangguan Luoyi also lost the same spirit as when he first entered the desert, thinking that those words and sentences describing the magnificence of the desert must have been made when he first came, if he really stayed for two days, he still had any love, and his heart was full of thoughts of wanting to escape as soon as possible.
On the seventh day after entering the desert, the fresh water was about to run out, and Yun Hao and the three of them all sat in the shadow of a boulder to avoid the scorching sun, this desert is really not a place for people, it is hot during the day and cold to death at night, as if there are only two seasonal heat and cold winters here.
Yun Hao took out the water bag he was carrying and wanted to drink saliva, but the moment he pulled out the cork, only the last drop of water had evaporated before it fell into his mouth.
"Drink mine." The two daughters handed the water bag to Yun Hao at the same time.
Yun Hao used his right hand to naturally reach out to pick up Yan Duxue's water bag, and now Shangguan Luo Yi was not happy, and said with a cold face: "You can think about it, don't expect to drink my water after you choose the wrong one." ”
Wanyan Duxue also said angrily: "I specially left it for you, if you don't drink it, I will pour the water immediately, and no one will drink it." ”
Yun Hao saw that a small matter had caused such a big dispute, and said helplessly: "Why bother. ”
That is, seeing Yun Hao's ambiguous attitude, Wanyan Duxue had a strong temperament and immediately tilted out the water in the water bag without saying a word, Shangguan Luoyi had already been roasted by the hot weather, and he was also angry when he saw this, and poured out the water in the water bladder in his hand, "Whoever is afraid of whom, it's a big deal that it's not too old." ”
Seeing such a crazy move between the two, Yun Hao immediately lay on the ground and stretched out his hands to catch the water left and right, sending it back and forth into his mouth, that is, at this time, he suddenly stopped moving, because when he looked up, he saw a palace.
A palace floating in the air, the Hall of Eternal Life!
Shangguan Luoyi looked in the direction of Yun Hao's gaze, and also saw the palace located above the clouds, the herdsmen were not exaggerating, if they hadn't seen her with their own eyes, they wouldn't have dared to believe that there really was a castle in the sky!!
The palace in mid-air is painted all over
The black, white spherical dome radiates a holy glow in the sunlight, which is definitely not an illusion.
Wanyan Duxue also saw this strange scene, and said with great relief: "We have finally found it." ”
With a clear direction, the three of them didn't care about hiding in the shade, and caught up with the moose and rushed towards the Hall of Eternal Life.
When you climb over a high sand dune, you will see a different view, it is a green wetland, trees and aquatic plants are abundant, all kinds of animals gather here in harmony, the center of the oasis is a lake, there is a building standing on the island in the middle of the lake, it is the hall of eternal life floating in the air.
Now seeing the three of them was even more excited than seeing the Hall of Eternal Life, and even the moose sped up and rushed towards the lake.
Yun Hao soaked the whole person in the water, he had never felt that the water was so delicious, and the cold lake water also took away all the heat on his body, and there were no words to describe Yun Hao's comfort at the moment.
Shangguan Luoyi and Wanyan Duxue were more reserved, they didn't go into the water but found a clean water source by the lake to wipe their bodies briefly, Yun Hao didn't have the trouble of heat and dryness, and immediately came to pour water on the second daughter, and soon the three of them frolicked together.
The Hall of Eternal Life was close at hand, but Yun Hao was not in a hurry to enter, but first lit a campfire to roast a hare that had just been brought in, and casually baked the wet clothes.
Shangguan Luoyi was very worried about Yun Hao's behavior of hunting at will in the holy land, for fear that he would commit some taboo and cause trouble, but Wanyan Duxue said that this was a complete ecological area, carnivores and omnivores were all in one place, and the living environment formed a perfect closed loop, if there were only herbivores, then this oasis would have been a wasteland a long time ago, so hunting was not a taboo.
Yun Hao gnawed on a rabbit leg and asked, "How does this Immortal Hall go up and down, it's not a magic circle secret technique." ”
Wanyan Duxue smiled: "It's not a secret technique, it's just a natural phenomenon, the sun shines on the smooth surface of the lake, and the rising water vapor forms a water curtain, reflecting the scenery here in the sky." ”
Many legends and stories become mysterious because they don't know their principles, but as long as they are said through, there is no sacredness, which somewhat disappoints Yun Hao.
