"All in all, you don't need to be too vigilant, you just need to look at it with a normal mind, anyway, there are people coming and going in this inn, there are everyone, and it's normal for them to come here to stay in the hotel."

When the words fell, Klee looked at them and continued: "I inquired with the inn guys when I went upstairs just now, tomorrow is their festival to catch the salon, if we want to act, we will not have leisure time until after the festival, when the time comes, you can rent camels to go to Hongbai Mountain, there is a bonfire club in Baita Square tonight, if you have time, you can go and see, it is related to killing the succubus dragon." ”

"Something to do with killing the succubus dragon?" Song Siyuan heard him mention this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said to everyone: "We know too little about the Sand Phantom Demon Dragon, Dunhuang is also far away from the Devil's Desert, the legend of the Sand Phantom Demon Dragon is likely to have been distorted and rumored, and some of it has been distorted. ”

Song Siyuan's proposal really helped them understand the danger in the depths of the desert, and everyone discussed it for a while and decided to go to Baita Square at night.

Before that, they had to rest first, and they had been on the road for the past few days, and it was always uncomfortable to travel and travel, and everyone needed to relax their muscles and bones before doing things.

It was already noon when they entered the inn, and seeing that there was still some time before the evening, everyone had been assigned their own rooms. Decided to get some good sleep.

The niche well of the Bagu Inn is really good, close the door and close the curtains again, the cool atmosphere in the room soon lingers around, blocking all the heat of the outside world outside the guest room, they wash and clean up, take advantage of the cool air to lie on the earthen kang, and soon dream of Zhou Gong.

About two or three hours later, Yue Guanchao was awakened by the cold chill on his body, he touched the goosebumps on his arm, approached the alcove well, and directly covered the thick cloth on it, so that the humidity in the room was a little less.

Pull back the curtains and push open the door panels.

From the position of the sun, it was already evening, and the sun was setting in the distance of the oasis, illuminating the courtyard in a golden yellow, and even the vines were gilded with the golden light of the setting sun, lining the heavy grape fruit completely transparent, shimmering with moisture.

He walked into the courtyard to stretch his waist, and the people in the courtyard had already woken up, and came out of their respective rooms one after another, and after cleaning and washing, everyone went down to the first floor and sat around a certain square table.

A guy with a face from the Western Regions understood and walked up to them, with a strong cumin accent in Chinese: "Friends, what to eat, all the dishes are on the menu shelf." ”

When they came, they thought that Moyu County was just a relatively remote and backward small county, but they didn't expect that the inn here was doing well, not only there were many local local specialties, north to northern Xinjiang, south to Tibetan and Qiang, and even some Han dishes could be cooked.

They were in a hurry to go to Baita Square, and they didn't have the heart to eat, so they ordered some mixed minced meat noodles, plus sliced beef, roasted lamb chops, and freshly fried vegetables.

In the past few days, they haven't eaten anything good when they were on the road, and these flavorful minced meat are already the best things to treat their stomachs.

After a full meal, the man from the Western Regions walked near them and served them a pot of cold tea.

If you look closely, the teapot is the size of a casserole, made of rose-colored glass. The liquid inside was clear and golden, and before I could smell it closely, I could already feel a sweet smell.

Yue Guanchao didn't remember that he had ordered a pot of herbal tea, his face became puzzled, he looked at the cumin-flavored little brother and asked, "We haven't ordered this pot of herbal tea, are you in the wrong place?" ”

Brother Cumin also knew that they were outsiders, and nodded at them with a smile on his face: "No, guest, this is what the guest next to me asked me to give you." ”

After that, the guy pouted at the place behind them, Yue Guanchao looked back, it was the orchid brothers and sisters they saw at noon, the woman had changed her usual clothes, and the crown of flowers and plants on her head hung down the transparent gauze curtain, and her face was tightly enclosed.

In this way, I can still see the smiling eyes from the woman's better face, and nod at them.

"I guess it's thanks to us for giving silver yuan, and several of us have also given more than a dozen silver yuan combined."

Yue Guanchao's vigilance against danger was indeed true, but he was also not informal, making sure that it was not the guy's fault, nor that someone was trying to harm them, so he immediately relieved himself and poured a cup of herbal tea for each of them. ”

The entrance of herbal tea is indeed different from the herbal tea I drank before, it smells sweet and delicious, but the taste is not so sweet, only a slight sweetness is felt in the throat, and the cold taste of well water ice is used to sweep away the taste of thick oil red sauce, so that the whole mouth becomes fresh.

"What is this tea?"

People in the Western Regions love sweetness, especially like to drink syrup tea, this cup of tea tastes very light, she looked down at the cup, the liquid is golden and orange clear, there are a few pale yellow flowers floating at the bottom, there is no pomace of medicine, and she can't see what the raw materials are.

The little brother explained: "A kind of herbal tea in our store, the material used is the sea buckthorn sand dates that grow in the desert, these plants can grow as long as they give saliva, and they are not a precious thing, they smell the most fragrant when used to boil tea, and at the same time there is no sweetness, it tastes very refreshing, after being chilled with well water, the taste is better, and it is good to clear the mouth after eating. ”

When everyone turned behind them again to thank the brother and sister, they had already left their seats, and they had eaten clean cups and plates, which showed that they were hard workers.

"A few of you are in such a hurry to eat, but you are going to the bonfire party in Baita Square?"

The cumin brother watched the six roads, listened to the eight directions, and was in such a hurry to eat in the evening, probably because there was something important to do, and after thinking about it, he understood that it was a bonfire club play in the square.

"What? Is there anything you want to tell us? Yue Guanchao decided to seize the slightest opportunity to learn about the Sand Phucernus Demon Dragon.

"I don't have anything to tell you if I'm soft-spoken, I see that you are going to Baita Square to remind you."

Speaking of this, the little brother lowered his voice: "Keep an eye on your bag, don't put anything valuable, when you catch up with the Dragon Club play, some petty theft things are mixed in, especially at night, if the things are really touched, it is not even easy to find it at night, and the next day it has been given by them, and there is no way to find it." ”

"Okay, we got it, thanks for the reminder."

Yue Guanchao saw that the sky was almost dark, and took them out of the inn to the street, catching the dragon club drama is estimated to be the top priority in Moyu County, there have been many nearby people on the street, the tulou everywhere is lit up, and the street is bright and red.

When they walked around, there were more and more people, and when they arrived at the White Tower Square, many people had gathered around, and the White Pagoda they saw during the day had been dressed up in new clothes by the people.

The white tower is about twenty or thirty meters high, the base area of the tower is about the same as a courtyard, the bottom is a square base, the position of the foot of the tower shrinks into an oval, and then the tower body that appears like the eaves of the cascading tower appears on the top, and then up is the spire of the sharp bamboo shoots.

The overall shape is very similar to the Futu Golden Pagoda in Tibet, there is a huge golden ball at the top of the tower, and there is a smaller white pagoda with a height of one person around the pedestal, which is painted with gold lacquer, shaped like a guard, guarding the tall white pagoda.

Looking at the shape of the white tower, it is not like the kind of tower that can walk up and down in the Han land, only at the base of the tower and the foot of the tower can be used for people to go up and down, and then up is the solid white tower, which can neither climb nor have a gap to accommodate superfluous things.

At this moment, the white tower has been hung with colorful lanterns and colorful satin by the local people, the body of the tower is brightly lit, under the reflection of the candle flame, there is a blurry dream of the colorful luster, outlining the outline of the tower body, and then the solemn and sacred of the day, like the holy woman of ice and jade, under the blessing of the night, it transforms into a ghostly and mysterious demon girl, giving people a great contrast.

The bonfires are mainly concentrated near the base of the tower, along the center of the base of the tower, there are more than a dozen fire racks, it can be seen that the flames are burning, illuminating the vicinity of the base of the tower brightly and hotly, and the faces of the surrounding western regions are more and more crowded, and they begin to sing and dance.

The so-called dragon chasing society drama is actually a blessing ceremony made by a town near the desert, just like the shaman jumping god in the north, the dragon king festival in the south of the Yangtze River, and the god in the southwest, all of which are essentially through tangible beliefs to dispel the fear of disaster.

Even if it's for show, it is good to let the gods know that they have great respect for the gods, and hope that the coming year will be smooth and all disasters will be eliminated.

The so-called social drama in the Han provinces refers to the common people in the villages and towns, the construction of the theater color stage, and the invitation to sing the drama to pay the gods for petitioning, the social drama in the Western Regions is not so exquisite, integrating the bonfire party and the group dance and singing, which is closer to the folk dragon and phoenix dance, and the parade of gods.

After the social drama begins, there will be many social drama groups, holding the sand succubus demon dragon they fabricated, from the four corners of the county, southeast, northwest and northwest, to the vicinity of the white tower, along the way, all the people have followed, holding lanterns and torches, from the city to see, as if these dragon lanterns attract flames, converge in the direction of the white tower, magnificent.

Waiting for the sand scuba dragon from all four directions to gather in the square, just around the young people dancing and singing, the four dragons revolve around the bonfire, and every time they spin, they will be thrown sandbags by the surrounding people, so as to drive away the salon, praying that within a year, the sand scubus dragon will never come to make trouble.

When the dragon drama is over, these four dragons will surround the white pagoda end to end, and wait until the next day to ask the shaman to sacrifice the flesh and blood, and they will burn it together with the flesh and blood, so that it can be regarded as a complete salon club play.
