Chapter 17: The Legend of the Forbidden Land
The Taxi Maya Desert is located above the border of the northwest region of the peaceful continent...
After three days of driving, it's finally almost here, can the mysteries in my heart be solved... There's no way to know...
At this time, I was driving an off-road vehicle at a speed of 150-180 mph on the highway... It is 100 km away from the Taxi Maya.
"Brother Kong, let's go to the villages near the desert first."
"Hmm."
"Brother Kong, why did you grow gray hair? It was fine when I was in Shenjiang. "Thinking about the old man's departure and the confusion in my heart, it is natural to grow gray hair.
"I'm fine, Xiao Ran, you shouldn't come to this kind of place with me, you should live a carefree and happy life.
"Although I don't know the purpose of your trip, but I want to follow you, my father said that if I really have a chance to meet you, I must stick to you, follow you wherever you go, even if you lose it... Anyway, I've made up my mind! ”
"Well, as long as you don't regret it!"
Sheepshead Village... It's finally here.
As soon as I got out of the car, I felt the dryness brought by the wind and sand. "Find a restaurant first, and then ask about the desert." The muttering words of passers-by flew in my ears, and I couldn't understand them at all.
Walking into a small restaurant called Almighty Omellet Rice, a boss with a sheep's head hat walked over, "Distinguished guests, please come inside, Xiaohua has come to make tea." "The boss is very considerate and understands the language, but it is a little dumbfounded.
Sir, you have come to my shop, and I know everything about the desert.
"Brother and sister, please use tea."
Xiao Ran said, "Little girl, how old are you?"
"I'm 11 years old"
"Reasonable child"
"Why doesn't the boss let the child go to school?"
"Huh... The guest didn't know, this child was picked up by me, in fact, I also wanted to send her to school, there was no extra money, and there were almost no tourist guests in recent years. I can't make money, and I can't make ends meet.
"Poor boy."
"Sister, you are so beautiful, so beautiful, I want to be like my sister when I grow up."
"Hmmm! Grow up to be more beautiful than your sister. ”
"Xiaohua go into the house, don't disturb the dining, you have something to eat."
"Let's eat your signature meal"
"Okay."
"Here comes the omelet rice."
"Well, yes, I got the taste of my grandmother's cooking."
"Guest, are you here to enter the desert?"
"Yes, don't open your mouth and shut up the distinguished guest, just call me Mr. Long."
"Mr. Haolong, I know everything that happened in the desert in my lifetime, and I even know a thing or two about the legendary war of gods and demons, the forbidden land and cave entrance in the center of the desert are left by the war between gods and ghosts, but Mr. Long, it is necessary for me to remind you in advance that you must not enter the forbidden land and cave entrance in the desert, there is no entry or exit."
His words stiffened Xiao Ran's expression when he listened, "Xiao Ran, if you don't go back, I really don't want to bother you." ”
Xiao Ran said: "I'm not afraid."
"This is your last chance, and if you go any further, you won't be able to turn back."
Xiao Ran ate omelet rice with his head sullen and didn't say a word.
"Boss, have you heard of a person named Long Xiangtian?"
"Of course, that's a Daluo immortal, he was present at the time of the god and ghost war, this god eliminated all the demons and monsters that came out of the forbidden land, but all the people led by this god died, and he ...... after fighting with the demon king for seven days and seven nights."
"And then what's wrong?"
"I didn't have it during the war, my father told me, and then out of nowhere a monster in the shape of a snake appeared and united with the demon king to put pressure on the dragon elephant, the dragon elephant couldn't resist being subdued, and was just about to be taken away, so I heard the rumble, and a great god came out of the ground, and gave the demon king a sword, what is the name of the great god... Ah, yes, it's called Li Shengyuan, and the queen who saved the dragon elephant disappeared. ”
"How did your father know their names?"
"When they were fighting, they called each other's names, the name of the demon god was the demon king, and the snake body and human form didn't know what it was called, and Long Xiangtian also saved my father, otherwise my father would have been killed by the demon.
I didn't believe it when I told other guests before, but almost no one came out after I went in, and until now, there are fewer and fewer guests who have come in, and there are no people who come in and out by their TV reporters to say that they have encountered sandstorms, lost, poisoning, etc., and now it has become a legend, no one believes it at all, Mr. Long, do you believe it? ”
"I believe it." It's an exaggeration, but it's intuitive.
"It's been a long time since I've told a guest, but I'm very happy to have the honor to say so much today!"
"Do you have a detailed map of the desert?"
"Of course I'll get it."
Xiao Ran said: "Brother Kong, his description is too mythical, how is this possible?"
"If my experience was put on you, you wouldn't think like that."
Xiao Ran leaked a wry smile and said, "Okay."
"Mr. Long, please look, take the map and put it on the table, in the center of the desert, point it up to this is the forbidden land, and the entrance of the cave is 20 miles north of the forbidden land, if you go to the direction of the forbidden place accurately, you will pass by the entrance of the cave, by the way, I forgot to tell you at the entrance of the cave, my father said that the cave mouth lives in the form of a snake and a human being."
"Do the rest of you here know this?"
"Mr. Long, you see that I am in my 30s, before I was born, and my father said that there were indeed many people present, but they were all killed, and then my father came back, and the family of the deceased found my father and asked me why my father came back by himself, my father described everything that happened, but they didn't believe it, and it didn't take long for my father to go crazy, and my mother was pregnant at that time, and it was me who was pregnant."
"What did your father and those men do in the desert?"
"There were rumors that there was treasure in the desert, so they went in groups."
"What about your mother?"
"After giving birth to me, my father disappeared, and when I was 14 years old, my mother opened this small shop for me, and then went to my father without telling me, and I still have the letter my mother left for me."
Took out a piece of red cloth from his jacket pocket, "Mr. Long, please take a look"
The cloth reads: Child, you have grown up, your mother has been thinking about your father all these years, I'm sorry that my mother wants to go to him, this small shop is enough for you to eat and drink, don't come to your mother, your mother has made up her mind. You have to live well, don't come to your mother, this is your mother's last wish, you must live well. Otherwise, the spirit of heaven after my death will not be appeased, and I will love your mother. Handwritten by Zhou Shuyun.
Heartache spreads all over the body. What an ordinary family, why should they go through such an ordeal, eh!
"I'll transfer you a sum of money and take Xiaohua to live a good life."
"Mr. Long, what are you?"
"I feel that I have some relationship with you, and your mother touched me, so I don't have to shirk it."
Just look at him and shout loudly: "Xiaohua, we don't have to tell stories to guests anymore, we don't have to cook this for more than 20 years, uncle will take you to visit the mountains and rivers, leave the place of right and wrong, hahahaha... (Laughter will make the world think that this person has won 5 million or something, and I will think that this is a real smile that has been held back for many years)
He left with Xiaohua, not knowing his name yet, leaving behind the all-round omelet rice shop and drawings.
"Xiao Ran, don't accompany me into the desert, run a small shop for me, and wait for me to come back."
Xiao Ran said: That's fine, if I'm here, you still have to protect me, distracted or something. I shouldn't be a burden, but if you haven't been back for a long time, I'll be like his mother.
"Okay, I'll be fine, don't worry."
Prepare for the ...... Departure tomorrow......
