Chapter 156: The Gobi Oasis
When the iron door gradually opened, Bai Junqian and his party breathed a sigh of relief.
With the cold wind leaking in, they stepped out of their way.
"I told you, although you can reach the country of Ying if you go beyond this border, the journey down is a bit difficult. Bai Junqian said.
"We know. The crowd replied.
Immediately the people passed through the gate one after another, as did the merchants.
When you walk out of that door, the door is already closing. This iron door only opens once in ten days, and the person who opens the door can only be a white-haired mother-in-law.
Outside the door, it was a different scene, but to everyone's shock, there was still a street in front of them, although it was empty, only a few lonely flags fluttering in the wind.
The group walked for a long time, but there was very little people, and only one or two pedestrians could be seen in the middle of the night, and they were all wrapped in face towels, and they couldn't see their faces at all, only a pair of eyes.
The people gathered here are all exiled by the Yu Kingdom, and they have either committed great crimes or offended the magnates of the Yu Kingdom.
After these people were exiled, they either stayed outside the main city of this border, or went to the country of Ying, they had only two choices.
After stopping here for a while, Bai Junqian and his party checked their equipment one last time and began to fly with the sword.
In the process, they continued to speed up, and they gradually distanced themselves from the group of merchants.
But looking around, Bai Junqian and his party didn't know the specific direction.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the heavy sky pressed the sky above them very low.
On the first quarter of the first quarter of the eternal calm, when the afterglow did not stop, it couldn't help but begin to throw its clear light that was not sad or happy to the world.
At this time, Bai Junqian said: "According to the classics, if you keep walking in the direction of the North Star, you will see the Ying Kingdom, you see-" He pointed to the sky and said: "The Big Dipper." ”
Chang Yuechen looked up, and saw that when the moon was covered by dark clouds, the Big Dipper became brighter and brighter, and it was not visible in front of him at all.
She couldn't help laughing: "And this statement, I really don't know where it came from." ”
At this time, Shangguan Beiling came to Bai Junqian's side, stood side by side with him, glanced at him, and also raised his head and smiled: "But somehow, this night sky seems to be clearer than the night sky we saw in Yu Kingdom. ”
Chang Yuechen agreed, and several people began to discuss the night sky and stars in a serious manner, while Yin and them were a little impatient, and said, "Master, let's hurry up." ”
In the middle of the night, the group followed the guidance of the Big Dipper, went straight to the north, and did not rest, walked all night, along the way the towns, villages are no longer seen, but more and more sand and gravel, and when they fall to observe the situation, their feet are no longer dirt, but sand and gravel.
- They have entered the Gobi.
In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. And now it's winter, but after coming to this desert, it's even more cold.
What is unexpected is that after the day, it is a completely different feeling.
When the sun rose, the sky above Bai Junqian and his party was extremely clean and clear, the sky was high and cloudy, but this daylight was also extremely violent, even in winter, this daylight was even more intense than the summer sun.
Bai Junqian and his party were a little dizzy in front of their eyes when they were sunburned, so they started a short walk to save their aura and replenish their aura to their physical strength.
For a moment, the group walked and walked, and the more they walked, the more it seemed to be going deeper into a huge steamer, and the steaming heat coming out of the center of the earth seemed to be able to steam people after a day of walking.
As far as the eye could see, there was a monotonous yellow everywhere, not even a single tree, and the vastness of the desert made each of them tired, as if they could never get out.
But Bai Junqian knew that this desert would take at least five days to walk.
He was able to find his way by the direction of the wind and some of the vegetation shrunk under the rocks, but it was more difficult to walk during the day than at night.
The group left a series of solid and clear footprints in the vast sea of sand, and the scorching sea of sand conveyed the heat through their feet, which was unbearable, so that they didn't go too far, they were still a little exhausted, and the aura on their bodies could not support Edgeworth.
"Master, how far is this going?" grumbled Silver.
He picked up the kettle at his waist and tried to drink it, but he found that there was no more water, and he threw it twice in mid-air, but only a few drops of water fell into his mouth, and the rest of the people were about the same.
Before leaving, Bai Junqian ordered everyone to bring more water, but now it seems that it is still a little insufficient.
Especially the Huawei Immortals, their faces are very pale, and the Tuyao Immortals have been helping her forward.
- The weather is still too bad.
"If I'm not mistaken, I'll be able to walk a little further and I'll find water. Bai Junqian said.
When everyone heard this, their faces instantly filled with joy.
Bai Junqian didn't have anything to do under the scorching sun, he took off his robe, and looked at the sky from time to time, but his expression was always a little anxious.
Suddenly, Hai Dongqing, who was flying in the sky, screamed and flew in one direction, and Lan Huanxi also instantly understood and said, "The water source should be over there." ”
Bai Junqian nodded, looking at the little green that began to appear in front of him, he saw that the direction he estimated was also over there.
So the group exerted their strength, Edgeworth was in the air, and after about half an hour, the group saw a small building in the desert in front of them, and when they got closer, it seemed to be an inn that had been abandoned for many years, without a roof, and when it was blown by the wind, some sawdust would immediately fall.
Bai Junqian still led everyone to continue walking towards the inn.
Just when everyone was a little confused, a water source blocked by the inn appeared, and it appeared on the side of the inn.
A gust of wind blew, with a hint of coolness.
When I walked to the water source, I saw that the water was crystal clear, without a trace of impurities. And next to this water source, there are some small green vegetation.
Bai Junqian looked up at the sky, it was already past noon, and it was about to arrive, I am afraid that it is the hottest and unbearable time of the day, and they have already walked all night, it is time to rest.
After everyone filled the kettle next to the water source, Bai Junqian led them into the inn, but before that, Bai Junqian also cast a spell that seemed to make the inn stronger, at least as a place to shade the sun.
"Master, drink water. Shun handed Bai Junqian the kettle, because he found that Bai Junqian had not drunk any water.
Bai Junqian nodded, took it, took a few sips, rolled the Adam's apple up and down, fused and handed it back to Shun, but Shun pinned the kettle to Bai Junqian, and said, "Master, the front of your kettle is all out, you can take this." ”
"Good. ”
And the Huawei fairy on the side almost drank a kettle of water, she raised her head and swallowed the clear water, and the coolness in her throat passed, which was very pleasant.
Finally, she wiped a little water from the corner of her lips, slightly moistened, and her eyes finally cleared.
After a while, a very high-pitched chirp sounded outside the inn, and it was the Hai Dongqing from Lan Huanxi, who seemed to have drunk enough water.
After another half an hour, Bai Junqian and his party finally came to their senses.
At this time, on the bright golden sand in the distance outside the house, two figures suddenly flashed by.
Bai Junqian happened to be facing the door, and when he saw it, he got up suddenly.
I saw the two figures, one black and one white, not in a hurry, and it could even be said to be calm, but they stepped into the wind and clouds, and they walked very fast.
It doesn't seem to be Edgeworth.
The man in black was slender, and the man in white was a woman, carrying a long sword and wiping dust in her arms.
Who is this time?
Bai Junqian kept staring outside, only to see a scene, and the rest of the people were just closing their eyes and recuperating for the time being.
An hour later, Bai Junqian got up and said, "Let's almost leave outside." ”
Then the rest of the people also stood up.
When they walked out of the inn, they found that the daylight had eased considerably, but there was some wind and sand.
The group flew for a while against the wind. This period of time has been about two hours, but the distance to get out is far less than what can be walked in the previous two hours.
The wind and sand were much bigger than when they first set off, and the wind wrapped the sand and struck the people on their heads and faces, so that their exposed heads, faces and arms were faintly painful.
The more he walked, the more difficult he felt, his ears were whirring, the yellow sand was overwhelming, his vision was not clear, and Bai Junqian and his party could only barely move forward.
"Are you all right?" Bai Junqian asked.
However, no one answered for half an hour.
