Chen Lu saw that he had softened, turned over and got on the horse, and walked happily like everyone else. The weather is changing, from bone-chilling at the beginning to warm like spring. After walking for more than ten miles, I felt a little hot. Everyone was wearing winter clothes, and the joy just now was gone, so they took out the water bag and drank the water one after another.

But the hotter and hotter it gets, the sun seems to be frozen in the sky, motionless, and everyone really has no strength. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, big town." ”

People stopped to watch, it was really a big town like Jiangnan. The moat surrounds the city, and the tall buildings are lined up one after another, with pavilions and pavilions, street characters, and market transactions, all in full view.

There is a large lake in the center of the town, which everyone can see clearly, and there are many cruise ships and tourists. There are several temples on the side of the mountain, pilgrims are full of doors, good men and women, shoulder to shoulder. In the teahouse of the wine shop, people either drink tea and talk, or cook wine in vain. From time to time, there are high-rollers in gorgeous clothes, fresh clothes and angry horses, groups of slaves, swaggering through the market, or there are small sedan chairs in Tsing Yi, delicate maids, hiding their faces to watch the scenery, maids and women, ring attendants left and right, and ringing and dingling.

The soldiers were stunned, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly over. Li Da gave the order, go at full speed, and ordered the outpost to go to investigate.

Chen Lu came over and said, "Do you mean to camp here? We have just walked less than fifty miles. ”

Li Da said: "Replenish grain, grass and supplies here. Tell me that when you get there, you are not allowed to enter the city, but you are to camp three miles outside the city. ”

Everyone is in the spirit again, moving forward quickly. I turned a corner, and when I looked again, the town was gone. Everyone walked for more than ten miles, and came to an endless desert with endless sand dunes as far as the eye could see.

Ha San said: "This is the official way, that's right." Why hasn't the outpost come back yet?" and sent out three more sentinels. Everyone also didn't stop, and chased at full speed.

After walking for more than 30 miles, not only did he not see the town, but he also did not see any return from the two sentry horses, and there were still endless sand dunes everywhere. It seems, in the vast expanse, in the sunlight that seems to be breathless, smoke and smoke, shaking, jumping.

Chen Lu walked through the desert, he knew that this was the earth's qi, and they had already reached the hinterland of the desert. He didn't feel good, but he had just seen the big town, and everyone had seen it, so he couldn't be wrong.

It's not like going the wrong way. Chen Lu studied the past and the present, he searched in his memory, and he remembered the record in "Mengxi Writings,?? In the sea of Dengzhou, there are clouds from time to time, such as the palace, the Taiguan, the city wall, the figures, the carriage and the horse, the crown cover, which can be seen in the past, and is called the "sea market". At that time, people thought it was the Immortal Mansion.

Chen Lu remembered "Mirage" written by Lin Jingxi in the Song Dynasty. But it is all written on the sea, and is it also in the great desert?

Is this illusory, or is it the mansion of some realm in the Ten Directions of the Universe? One thing he is sure of is that this should not be a big town in the world.

Thinking of this, Chen Lu ran to Li Da's car and said, "My lord, my Zicheng doesn't feel right, we have gone deep into the hinterland of the desert, what we just saw may be an illusion, or it may be the Immortal Cave Mansion, in short, there is no here." There must be something wrong with this. I suggest that the back team change to the front team and go back to the original ice and snow world. ”

Li Da didn't believe it, how could it be? Everyone had seen it. At this time, it was already the beginning of Shen, and it was still scorching like a furnace. Li Da was also uncomfortably hot and asked, "You mean I'm afraid of fraud?"

"yes, I feel like I had a problem just that time when it got dark. My mount was very spiritual, and I scolded him. At this time, the big green horse snorted happily.

Chen Lu said: "Got it, Brother Dog, my old man misunderstood you, I apologize to you, can you find your way back?"

The big green horse shook his head vigorously. Starting from Li Da, all the pro-soldiers saw him chattering with his mount again, not knowing what it meant, but they were all used to it.

Only Nalan understands that she has seen the big green horse many times and knows that it is absolutely extraordinary. She herself has no judgment on this matter, but he believes Chen Lu, as long as it is Chen Lu who said it, it is correct.

Li Da was a little panicked when he saw him and Da Qingma like this, and hurriedly ordered: "The rear team becomes the front team, the camels open the way, return to the original place, and seeing the ice and snow is victory." ”

Ha San ran over, he also felt wrong, and agreed to return, he was thinking about the five sentinels, and asked if he wanted to wait. Li Da glanced at the sand dunes in front of him, and thought to himself, can you still come back? ”

Chen Lu found that his wound had broken open again, so he didn't dare to make a noise, took out a medicine cloth and wiped it, and threw it on the ground. He was afraid that others would see it, so he quietly pressed it with a stone.

Everyone walked for an hour, the weather seemed to be much cooler, the sun was about to set, but it looked different from the past, blood red and blood red, it seemed to be a big red iron circle. This is a scenery unique to the desert.

Hasan shouted to stop advancing, and the team stopped. Ha San ran over angrily and said, "Two adults, we may have returned to our original position, there is no wind, and our rut marks are still there." ”

Li Da was taken aback, got out of the car and took a look, but didn't see any difference, and said: "This is the official road, of course there are a lot of rut marks, I calculated the distance, I should have walked more than thirty miles." ”

Ha San said: "It doesn't feel right to be humble. If there are rut marks, there should be a car, and we didn't see a single car when we came and went, not even a mouse. ”

These words attracted Chen Lu's attention, and he felt that what Ha San said made sense, so he looked around carefully. Looking at the rut, it was supposed to be the mission's car, and he wasn't sure if it was back where it was.

Suddenly, a stone came into view, and he quickly kicked the stone away, and the medicine cloth appeared. He told Li Da categorically.

Li Da said: "It's okay, let's adjust the direction again." With so many horses and camels, we can still get lost, and the old horses know the way. He wanted to say that when he got lost in Hami, he was cast a demon spell.

So he ordered that he should camp on the spot, and instead of erecting fences, he would make a fire out of the wood on the cart and make torches.

Ha San said: "There is not much water, so I can't cook. ”

Li Da said: "Then you can't go, you can just spend one night, but you can't march at night in the desert." ”

Ha San was busy arranging, and he didn't dare to use the buckets of water pulled by the food whistle, so he only cooked a little gruel for a few adults, and the others just chewed a mouthful of dry food and did it hastily.

In this desert, it is hot to death during the day and unpleasantly cold at night. Chen Lu has experience in this area and has already told the soldiers. The officers and soldiers did not expect that it would be even colder than the ice and snow over there.

Chen Lu was not worried, what he was most worried about was the strong wind at night, which was the deadliest in the desert. He suspected that the five sentinels had been buried in the dunes.

Chen Lu didn't dare to sleep, and on the second watch, he really heard a gust of wind whistling. Taken aback, he picked up his soldier's musket and fired a few shots into the air. He put down his firebolt and hurriedly looked into the air, and a dark cloud pressed down, and soon reached the top of his head, squeaking.
