Chapter 2: The Storm
You don't see, walking on the snowy seaside, the flat sand is reckless and yellow into the sky, this sentence to describe the Taklamakan is in the image.
Starting from Hotan all the way to the west, the endless golden yellow filled Lin Feng's eyes, and the afterglow of the setting sun made this beautiful Taklamakan clothed in a beautiful coat.
Looking at the stretching sand dunes outside the window, Lin Feng's thoughts stretched out to the boundless edge.
A year ago, with excellent grades, Lin Feng graduated from college early, and since then he has been running around major cities across the country, rarely fixed in one place, in fact, according to his meaning, there is no need to fix it anymore, since his parents died in an accidental car accident while going abroad, Lin Feng feels that it doesn't matter where he settles down, life is just like this.
After graduation, I also talked about a girlfriend, but unfortunately the woman's family is powerful, no matter what, I don't agree to the relationship between the two, and I only break up in desperation. Although the woman didn't explain too much, how could Lin Feng not guess some things, life would always be full of unsatisfactory.
Putting away his thoughts, Lin Feng looked at the endless yellow sand, and his mood seemed to have been assimilated by these softness, gathering and scattering the wind and clouds, and how many of these sentient beings were not scattered with the wind and clouds like these yellow sands.
Crossing Taklamakan with a group from Hotan, the scenery along the way confused a group of people who had never seen a desert in the car. The number of people in this car, including Lin Feng, is no more than thirty, and the youngest is fifteen or sixteen, all of them are full of vigor and youth.
"Look at the sand dunes so high, I've never seen such a big pile of sand. A round-faced girl shouted.
"And that, that's not poplar, it's really vigorous. Another girl with a ponytail said, pointing to the rows of trees with golden leaves.
The two girls sat together, dressed in a simple and decent outfit, slightly whitened jeans forced out all the youth of the two, wearing the same white T-shirt, one with a ponytail, the other with wavy curls, young and beautiful, delicate and cute.
Along the way, the two kept talking, and they were very surprised by the desert style.
"That's right, that's Populus euphratica. "The man who spoke was a man, he was the tour guide of this group, in his words, he grew up on the edge of the desert since he was a child, and he also lived in the desert, so he is the son of the desert.
"Brother guide, is this poplar really alive and immortal for a thousand years, dead without falling for a thousand years, and immortal for a thousand years?" said the girl with a ponytail with wide eyes.
Hearing this, many people looked at the tour guide, a total of 21 people in this car, not in a group, but a team temporarily in the Hotan Scenic Area, all want to cross the desert before sunset to see this beautiful scenery.
They were also very curious about this poplar tree, and they had already heard about it before they came to the desert.
"Haha, that's right, there is a legend about our poplar tree in Taklamakan . The tour guide smiled heartily.
"And legends?" the two girls looked at the guide with wide eyes and hopeful faces.
"There is a legend in our Taklamakan poplar that says that if lovers who love each other can make a romantic and beautiful vow in front of the immortal sacred tree for 3,000 years, then they can make poplar tears because they are moved, as long as you bring these tears back and put them in flour to make baked naan, and then eat them, then your vow will become true and eternal. The tour guide talked eloquently and attracted the hearts of a car of people.
"Really?" the round-faced girl's eyes shone brightly when she heard this.
"Of course. The tour guide, who grew up on the side of the Taklamakan side, said proudly.
"If this is the case, I eat a baked naan every day, and it won't be long away. The round-faced girl's round face was a little red at this time.
"Haha......" The people in the car couldn't help laughing when they heard what the girl said interestingly, but many people became more and more fascinated by the different forms of poplars, and if it wasn't for the fact that it was getting dark, someone would have to get out of the car and make a wish.
"Hey buddy, are you also alone?" asked the fat man sitting next to Lin Feng, he was dressed in wide casual clothes, he was in his twenties and Lin Feng, with a chubby face, his hair was combed quite brightly, and he was covered with huge fat, if it weren't for Lin Feng's thinness, he would have almost squeezed him out of the car window.
Hearing this, Lin Feng withdrew his gaze from the poplar flying outside the window, he looked at the fat man next to him and nodded, "Yes." ”
"Ha, I'm guessing, then you must have never been to the desert before. ”
"No, this is my first time looking at the desert. Lin Feng replied honestly.
"Then do you know the civilization of Nya?" the fat man's face was a little smug.
"I don't know, I know a little. Lin Feng said.
"Then do you know that there are other monuments next to the ruins of Nya?"
"I don't know. ”
"Want to know?"
"You say. Lin Feng was noncommittal.
The fat man looked at Lin Feng speechlessly, how could this guy have no curiosity at all, and he suddenly felt a lack of interest.
"Fat brother, there are monuments next to the Niya civilization. The girl with the ponytail in front of her leaned sideways and looked at the fat man with a surprised expression.
When the fat man saw the beautiful woman asking, he suddenly came to his senses, and only heard him say mysteriously: "Don't spread the word about it, this happened not long ago, an archaeological team found an ancient city not far from the ruins of Rinya, the ancient city is very large, and it is so old that you can't imagine more than 100,000 years." ”
"It's really fake, more than 100,000 years!" The woman with the ponytail had big eyes wide open, and her little face was full of incredulity.
"Of course it's true. The fat man said triumphantly.
"More than 100,000 years, I damn it, fat man, are you mistaken, more than 100,000 years are even afraid that humans are still apes, you can really make it up." It was a tall young man who spoke, his name was Li Hongchen, and he had pricked up his ears as early as when a few people began to speak, and he couldn't help but sneer when he heard it.
"That's why it's surprising, it's still a secret, of course you don't know. Looking at Li Hongchen's disbelieving eyes, the fat man was a little anxious.
"Cut, some people don't even want their faces in order to attract attention, and they have made up for more than 100,000 years. "It was a beautiful woman who spoke, with white skin and red lips and bright makeup, and her name was Gao Lili.
Next to her was a young man with a clear face and a handsome appearance named Wang Beixing, who was Gao Lili's boyfriend. These two people have the same accent as Li Hongchen, who spoke before, and they should be companions.
"Don't believe it, because my friend is in it for archaeology. "The fat man is in a hurry.
Their words gradually spread, and a car of people knew the more than 100,000 years in the fat man's mouth, and couldn't help laughing, not to mention more than 100,000 years, even if it is 10,000 years, it is estimated that not many people believe it.
Lin Feng looked at the fat man with a look of suspicion, more than 100,000 years, it is indeed a bit long, but the earliest civilization of human beings currently known is only seven or eight thousand years, and these more than 100,000 years are simply a fantasy, but he did not say anything, this world is vast and vast Who said quasi-unknown things.
"Haha, some people brag, they have blown it to outer space, they have seen shameless, they have never seen such shameless, wait a minute, do you want to say that this is a myth. Gao Lili, who had spoken earlier, sneered.
"You ......" The fat man's face was flushed, and his eyes widened with anger.
Wang Beixing had not spoken before, but when he saw the fat man's expression, a pair of sharp eyes swept straight over and said, "Why, I can't say it yet." ”
When Gao Lili saw the fat man's majestic body, she couldn't help but be a little frightened, and when she heard her boyfriend speak, she couldn't help but raise her proud head again.
The tour guide had been listening to the side, he had grown up in the desert and had never heard such a legend, and at this time, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he planned to get up and say a few words to ease up.
He was about to open his mouth, when suddenly a pleasant ringtone came out, but it was the fat man who came calling.
The fat man took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and immediately became excited, and said proudly: "Don't you don't believe it, the experts in the archaeological field have called, you can listen to whether it is true or not." ”
He answered the phone casually, turned on the speakerphone, and before he could speak, he heard an urgent voice on the phone: "The sea, don't go into the desert, go back quickly......"
"Ah......h
"Ah...... Blood sacrifices, gods and demons. ”
"Ah...... Help......"
"Puff puff ......"
Hearing this, the fat man's face turned pale, and he said anxiously: "Dad...... Father...... What's wrong, what's going on, talk Dad. ”
The fat man kept shouting, but all he responded to was incessant screams and cries for help, and after a while, the phone was hung up.
Seeing that the mobile phone was hung up, the fat man shouted at the mobile phone regardless of it, but there was still an echo, his face was depressed, and his face turned pale and fell on the car seat.
The people in the car looked at each other, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"You...... The archaeological friend you're talking about is your dad. The round-faced girl asked with trembling lips.
At this time, the fat man was holding the mobile phone in a daze, his eyes were red, and he was muttering something, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that something had happened on the other end of the phone at the moment, but they didn't know what had happened.
Lin Feng looked at the fat man, patted him on the shoulder, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, the blood sun in the west was already half-sunk, and the afterglow fell in through the car window, hitting everyone, but they couldn't feel the slightest warmth.
"So what's that......"
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked forward and saw that the space in front of them, which was originally divided into heaven and earth, was chaotic at this time, and the golden sand in the sky was flying, covering the sky and the sun. Then there was a burst of roars, like a yellow dragon rising up, and the sound shook the sky.
The storm rose abruptly and at a very fast speed, engulfing everything that passed in an instant, and everyone approached before they could react to the wind and sand.
"Stop, it's a big storm, everyone lean forward and fasten your seatbelts. The tour guide screamed, waking everyone up.
Tut...... As soon as the screeching sound of brakes fell, the rushing and whistling sand struck, and whined...... It was like the cry of an ancient beast, which made people's eardrums hurt, and then the sand raged, and the sky was dark, there was no light, and it was impossible to see anything clearly, this darkness, this roar, as if the end was coming.
The crackling grit hit the outside of the car window, shattering a lot of glass in an instant, and the raging sand cut through everyone's skin like a blade.
Bang......
A huge wind wave hit, causing the bus to blow and roll directly, and the powerful vibration wave made everyone who was nervous, including Lin Feng, lose consciousness directly.
