It is said that one of the body and soul is wandering, and if one walks alone, then the soul and the body will become one.

Rongguan is located in the westernmost part of Shizhou, at the intersection of Huangzhou and Huzhou, and is also the pass to curb Huangzhou Huzhou from entering the mainland of Jin.

Since ancient times, this Rongguan is the junction of the Western Regions and the inland, and it is also an important passage for commercial trade between Jinguo and the West;

Sparsely populated, the economy is mediocre, except for some tourism income, that is, farming-based;

Perhaps the world is impermanent, no matter how brilliant it once was, it will always end up in a desert remnant;

In Rongguan in early summer, the sun is so strong that it is about to burn people to burn fragrant, but the sandstorm has not yet reached the stage of high incidence, the lush poplar forest is standing proudly in the desert, the night is cool and pleasant, and then there are stars in the night sky that can not be seen in the city, maybe this is the best season to reach Rongguan;

Zhuang Feng arrived at Rongguan again in this early summer season, looking at those familiar scenes, which made Zhuang Feng feel a little inexplicable;

The earliest impression of Rongguan comes from Qin Dongqin, a woman who was born, grew up and passed away in the desert;

Of course, it is not that Qin Dongqin has never walked out of the desert, but only returned to the desert after turning around until he passed away;

The desert, Huchang forest, manhole Xiaoche, Biya landform, flying murals, Luobu hemp tea, etc., everything is still so charming;

It was still Yang Lin driving the car, Xu Wei was waiting in the passenger seat, Zhuang Feng quietly watched those familiar scenes fly by, and seemed a little silent;

Zhuang Feng and his party stopped when they arrived at the manhole, which Zhuang Feng had confessed;

As the convoy stopped, Zhuang Feng looked at the Wusha Mountain through the car window, and then retracted his thoughts and got out of the car by himself;

After getting out of the car, Zhuang Feng habitually took out his cigarette and was about to light it, but stopped inexplicably;

Zhuang Feng held a cigarette in his mouth, held a cigarette burner in his hand, raised his head to look at the Wusha Mountain not far away, and asked aloud, "Did you hear any sound?"

Xu Wei Yang Lin stood next to him and looked at Zhuang Feng, and shook his head after listening to Zhuang Feng's words, as if he didn't hear any sound;

"Good luck, I just happened to meet Sha Ming, get closer, and listen again;" Zhuang Feng said with great interest, and at the same time walked in the direction of the five sand mountains;

With Zhuang Feng's behavior, Xu Wei Yang Lin naturally had to keep up, and with Zhuang Feng not going far away, Xu Wei Yang Lin also heard Zhuang Feng's voice;

The five sand mountains are different from the yellow sand of other sand dunes, these five sand mountains have five colors of sand grains mixed together, which is also one of the special scenery of this Rongguan, and with the desert wind and the sand layer vibration will make that quite a rhyme sound, this is a unique scenery in the desert;

Wusha Mountain not only has five-colored sand grains, but also has the strange sound of sand singing, and when the sand layer shakes, the sand particles will not roll down, but move upward, which is the unique scenery of this manhole;

Xu Wei and Yang Lin have not been to Rongguan, but they have only heard about the scenery of Rongguan, and they also know that there is a special scene of Mingsha and the sand moving upward;

Hearing about it, this Xu Wei Yang Lin followed Zhuang Feng's first time to see the sand particles not rolling down but moving upwards, listening to the thunder of the sand whining, and was quite surprised there;

The sound of Sha Ming gradually increased, quite a bit of thunder charm; Zhuang Feng was originally very interested, but when he listened to the sound with the charm of thunder, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said there: "Let's go, the wind is coming, go to the manhole building to hide;"

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Xu Wei and Yang Lin looked a little unsatisfied, retracted their interest there, and followed Zhuang Feng to get in the car and leave;

"The wind and thunder, the sand ridge is clear;" Zhuang Feng got into the car and said casually there;

"I don't understand;" Xu Wei looked at Zhuang Feng and asked there;

"There will be a sound in this Wusha Mountain when there is no wind, but the voice is very low, the so-called whispering; listening to this sound becomes louder, it means that the wind is coming;" Zhuang Feng said casually, as if he was quite familiar with such changes;

Xu Wei listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and nodded suddenly, with a look of understanding;

Zhuang Feng looked at Xu Wei and continued there: "The wind in the desert, that's not comfortable, go to the manhole pavilion to stay first, and then leave after the wind passes;"

It seems that in response to the words of Zhuang Feng, the words fell, and the wind and sand in the sky were already visible to the naked eye;

"It's beautiful;" Yang Lin drove the car, looked at the wind and sand in front of him, and said there;

Zhuang Feng smiled and didn't speak, in this desert such a strong wind is very ordinary, it looks beautiful, and it is not so terrible, even if it stays in the car, it does not have much effect;

In just a moment, Zhuang Feng and his entourage arrived at the edge of the manhole and entered the manhole pavilion to take shelter from the wind;

The manhole is also a unique scenery in this desert;

The manhole is in the shape of a quarter moon, surrounded by Wusha Mountain, and is in the middle of Wusha Mountain, but it has not been buried by the surrounding desert in this thousand years, which can be called a wonder;

Zhuang Feng stood in the attic of the manhole and watched the wind outside through the window to roll up the wind and sand in the sky, and his thoughts were a little erratic;

At that time, Zhuang Feng and his wife saw the scenery of the manhole for the first time, and it was also in this pavilion to avoid the desert wind they encountered for the first time;

At that time, they were all very young, and they were all in their prime, and they were bold;

After getting acquainted with Qin Dongqin, he also drove the car to play racing in the wind to seek excitement, and even chased the sandstorm, wanting to see where the sandstorm would subside;

Now that I think about it, it was really good to be young at that time, and I dared to do anything;

Later, Qin Dongqin's matter was resolved, Zhuang Feng and his wife returned to Jiangzhou, and Qin Dongqin was in this pavilion to play the zither and send it off;

After many years, Zhuang Feng looked at the raging wind outside the window, and didn't know what to think;

The wind in the desert came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for the outside to return to calm, and the wind that had just passed just now was as if it had never appeared, and Wusha Mountain was still so calm, and the water of the manhole was still clear;

"Let's go;" Zhuang Feng seemed to have some obsessive-compulsive episodes, forcing himself not to think more;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Xu Wei and Yang Lin also followed Zhuang to recover the surprise and interest that he would have when he first arrived at this Rong Pass;

Zhuang Feng looked at Xu Wei Yang Lin's unfinished appearance, smiled, and said there: "Forget it, I'll leave later, you guys go shopping;"

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Xu Wei and Yang Lin were naturally happy, and at the same time, looking at Zhuang Feng's uncertain appearance, he also knew that Zhuang Feng was probably not interested in them, so he didn't force Zhuang Feng to go with him, but Xu Wei and Yang Lin, the two brothers, ran out to play;

Looking at Xu Wei Yang Lin's happy appearance, Zhuang Feng also smiled; although there is still something to do in Huzhou now, but this is the state of not having a Ming Dynasty today, maybe after doing the right thing, Zhuang Feng is not sure that Xu Wei Yang Lin still has the heart to play, or that he can come to this manhole to play again;

Xu Wei and Yang Lin left, Zhuang Feng also moved, walked from the room to the viewing pavilion, and then sat there quietly burning a cigarette, not knowing what to think;

For the average tourist, it takes some time to go around, mainly to walk around the manhole, and then walk around the antique pavilion, Wusha Mountain will also walk around the manhole, as for the real Wusha Mountain Range, it is not a walk to play;

Xu Wei Yang Lin is similar, followed the manhole around a circle and came back, as for this antique pavilion, it is not the slightest interest, growing up in the Zhuang Courtyard such an ancient building complex, for these antique buildings that are popular today, it is strange;

As Xu Wei and Yang Lin returned after playing, Zhuang Feng and Xu Wei Yang Lin set off again;

After passing through the manhole, enter the Wusha Mountains and continue westward to Xiaofang City, which is the Mofu where the Qin family's compound is located;

In Zhuang Feng's former consciousness, the desert will not change, but when Zhuang Feng arrived at the desert mansion, the truth was completely opposite;

is still the familiar poplar forest, or the desert compound that represents the authority of the desert;

The Mofu compound is a typical northwestern-style building, with a boxy and flat layout, showing her authority;

In Zhuang Feng's memory, this poplar forest is prosperous and quiet, and this desert mansion represents the authority of the desert......

She has a lot of responsibilities and a lot of weight, and at the same time, she is always quiet and tidy, and in her memory, in the last years of Qin Dongqin, there was still a heavy desolation here, but there was never such a breathless depression as in front of her;

The Mofu of the Qin family is the existence of another authority in Jinguo in addition to the official;

With the characteristics of Huzhou's mixed residence, since the beginning of the Jinguo Dynasty, in order to stabilize Huzhou into the territory of Jinguo, a large number of immigrants have been carried out to Huzhou according to tradition and a cantonment corps has been established;

Although the reclamation force of Jinguo had never reached nearly 3 million immigrants before, compared with the Zhuhu tribe in Huzhou, such a number was still lacking, and it could only occupy one-tenth of the Huzhou households;

No one in power in Jindu was more than half as stupid as anyone else, and with such a large number of reclamation corps in Huzhou, the proportion was still scarce, but it was not possible to move more people, so Jindu let the reclamation corps only control the city, and the outside of the city was ruled by the traditions of the tribes;

Controlling the city controlled the economy, and naturally established an administrative system; Jinguo also successfully incorporated Huzhou into the scope of legal rule, and the Jinguo official was also the legitimate ruler of this Huzhou;

However, the rule of the Jinguo was weak compared to the tribes, and the tribes were still accustomed to solving their own affairs, while the officials of the Nahuzhou only had superficial authority;

Those tribes who have nothing to do will challenge the majesty of the Huzhou official with those who have nothing to do, and they don't know whether Jindu is weak or concerned about international public opinion, and most of them will choose to calm down the provocations of the tribes;

Perhaps Jindu is weak and at the same time cares about international public opinion, which is Zhuang Feng's private idea;

According to the tradition since ancient times, the tribes of Huzhou have chosen the so-called civilized treatment, rather than forceful means; when the Jinguo Dynasty was opened, the international exchanges were smoother, which led to the attention of international public opinion, but anyone who wanted to do some tough means would be given the notoriety of tyranny;

Perhaps it is precisely because of these reasons that Jindu's control over Huzhou is not strong, or that there are a large number of troops invested in Huzhou, but it is just a decoration;

The official practice of Huzhou made Huzhou once on the verge of separation, and this situation lasted until the rise of the Qin family's Mofu;

Thirty years ago, a man wearing a flaming red poplar forest logo appeared in the desert, trading with the tribes under the banner of trade;

According to the ancient traditions of the tribes, those who can rob will never be exchanged for anything, and those who can be exchanged for things will never be bought with gold;

At this point, when the man wearing the symbol of the flaming red poplar forest was trading with them, one of the tribes carried forward the ancient tradition and robbed and bought the man wearing the emblem of the fiery red poplar forest;

Then when the other tribes passed by, they found that the tribe had been slaughtered cleanly, and even the babies were hung on the wheels, and according to the tradition of the strife, children who were not more than the height of the wheels were to be left to be planted;

Faced with such a situation, the other tribes naturally paid attention, and examined the slaughtered tribe in detail, and finally found that the patriarch had a branch of a fiery poplar tree on his body;

Poplar trees are very common in the desert, but most of them are golden, and fiery poplar trees are extremely rare;

According to an ancient legend in Huzhou, a king will be born in a place surrounded by a fiery poplar forest, and now the fiery poplar branches have appeared, which makes all the tribes very curious to find out;

And then there was no more, and before the tribes could figure out who the enemy of the slaughtered tribe was, another tribe was slaughtered, and the same fiery poplar branches remained;

Then, the fiery poplar forest logo began to flutter in the desert, and many tribes were slaughtered; this iron-blooded method finally made the tribes know the Qin family who raised the fiery poplar forest logo, and also realized that the Jin people were not weak, and the authority of the Qin family was also established in such a time of slaughtering the tribes;

For example, a certain tribe resists the rule of the Huzhou official, refuses to pay taxes or forcibly buys and sells, or even starts a riot, but the Huzhou official can only deal with it according to the judicial procedure;

According to the standard procedure, by the time it was possible to arrest people, the tribe had long since been scattered to the corner of the endless desert that did not know it;

After one or two times to many times, the prestige of Huzhou officials naturally fell;

It's just that there is no way to do it, the official can only follow the standard procedure, and cannot use military force to slaughter a tribe at the first time when a situation arises; as for those cantonment regiments, they can be used, but they are not the opponents of those tribes, and the military police need to be responsible for the security of the city;

The rise of the Qin family does not have so many concerns, and the slightest disrespect for the tribes is to directly wash the tribes in blood; in the early ten years of the rise of the Qin family, there are immeasurable tribes in the desert grassland of Huzhou that have been wiped out;

The Qin family is not official, and there is no need to worry about public opinion or judicial procedures;

In the face of the Qin family's massacre of the tribe, such a thing naturally cannot be hidden, and international public opinion naturally has something to say, shouting humanity there;

In this regard, the reaction of the Huzhou official or Jindu was to swear to the place that the murderer would be severely punished, and at the same time, he was also moving out of the standard preparation procedures to deal with it;

Entering the standard procedure, the Huzhou official and Jindu are clearly playing scoundrels, and there is no result in this matter;

Why did the Huzhou official and Jindu show such obvious favoritism towards the Qin family? The reason is very simple;

When the Qin family was purging Huzhou with iron and blood, the tribes finally remembered that Huzhou still had an official existence at such a time, and they could go to Huzhou City to report the case to the Metropolitan Police Department;

At the same time, the Qin family will also hand over a few painless people to let the Huzhou official quell the accusations of the tribes, so that the authority of the Huzhou official will naturally be established;

Not to mention that the old man of the Qin family is a strong man, he obviously did the things of burning, killing and looting, but no one really pursued it;

The Huzhou official established his authority in the Qin family's iron-blooded methods, so that the tribes did not dare to easily challenge the authority of the Huzhou official;

At the same time, the Qin family has also established authority, but no tribe dares to talk about the ancestral land against death in the grassland desert that the Qin family needs;

The Qin family established its authority, and developed in Huzhou with the acquiescence of the Huzhou officials, monopolizing the acquisition of materials from the tribes, and at the same time occupying the territory to mine minerals, and even the most important crude oil resources on the mainland that even Jin directly controlled had to cede a part to the Qin family in Huzhou;

It was under such circumstances that the Qin family developed, and at the same time formed common interests with the Reclamation Corps in Huzhou, using the urban resources controlled by the Reclamation Corps to exploit the resources of the tribes;

At this time, Jindu had the idea of cleaning up the Qin family, or this is the way it is; when you are needed, it is naturally easy to talk about and discuss, but after this matter is done, the majesty of the Huzhou official has been established, so there is no need for the Qin family;

It's just that Jindu ignores a problem, when you use others, others are also strengthening their own strength;

With the acquiescence of Jindu, the Qin family seems to be helping Jindu establish its majesty, but the authority of the Qin family has also been established, and it is also colluded with the Reclamation Corps;

Most of the immigrants of this reclamation regiment were forcibly relocated back then, and they lived in the evil environment surrounded by foreigners, and they were not less humiliated by those tribes for many years.

Then the Qin family rose up, reached an agreement with the Tunken Corps, and cooperated with each other, which can be regarded as turning over, no longer being bullied by the tribe, but living a superior life as a Jinren;

The Qin family's own strength and the cantonment corps are hooked together, and if Najin wants to move the Qin family again, then he has to clean up the cantonment corps;

However, from top to bottom, this cantonment regiment has taken the benefits of the Qin family, and has become a community of interests with the Qin family, living a life of superiority; if Jindu cleans up the cantonment corps, it will be incompatible with the interests of nearly 3 million cantonment corps;

The ancients said that the king regarded the minister as a sibling, the minister regarded the king as the heart, the king regarded the minister as a dog and a horse, the minister regarded the king as a countryman, the king regarded the minister as a mustard, and the minister regarded the king as an enemy;

To put it bluntly, this person has no absolute loyalty, and when the ruler infringes on his own interests, then loyalty will naturally disappear;

When the Qin family wants to move, the nearly three million members of the Reclamation Corps have to carry forward the spirit of hardship and simplicity and live that hard and hopeless life, then the consequences can be imagined;

No one who can fight and win in a power game is an idiot, and naturally he will not think that a word of loyalty can make the Reclamation Corps in Huzhou give up his vested interests;

Jindu has formed a substantial rule over the Qin family over Huzhou, and finally chose to settle the matter, and the Qin family has been the real ruler of Huzhou after nearly 30 years of development, and the fiery poplar forest logo has also become the authority of the tribes to retreat;

The Qin family established a de facto rule over Huzhou, and naturally a plaque was hung on the Qin family's compound;

It is precisely because of this that in this desert, they are not directly called the people of the Qin family, but are called Mofu;

Zhuang Feng looked at the originally majestic Mofu compound, and some didn't know how to face it;

The plaque with the word Mofu on the eaves of the originally quiet compound disappeared, and I don't know who demolished it, or if it was used to cook on the fire;

The front eaves of the courtyard in front of him were equipped with an eyebrow plaque that didn't know what to do, and the dragon and the phoenix didn't know what to write, Zhuang Feng looked at it for a long time before he could see what kind of thing it was;

In fact, just looking at the entire poplar forest around the Mofu that was originally used to block the wind and sand, most of it has been cut down and spread on the ground to make a parking lot, and there are still some vehicles parked, plus the young people who look like the little brothers who parked the cars, and the women wearing heavy makeup on the edge of the door, you should be able to guess what kind of place this is;

Zhuang Feng flashed a little inexplicably with a hint of happiness, mixed with some remorse;

Glad they didn't know what to be thankful for, glad that their Zhuang compound was burned down by a fire and there was not even a ruin left? Or were they glad that the compound in front of them had survived?

It's just that looking at the originally quiet and solemn garden has been transformed into this messy and smoky miasma in front of me, compared with the situation that has been burned to the ruins, it may be better to give no ruins left;
