Chapter 33: It's Really Beautiful
Jin Liang and the others took a plane for more than two hours before landing at the airport, and after looking at their watch, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon. At the exit of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, there were two young people waiting, both of them had the same short hair as Lin Chen, clean and neat, and obviously had a military temperament.
Soon, they came to a courtyard, all of which were one-story tiled houses, with seven or eight rooms in a row, and a fence outside, with an iron gate, and a big dog in the yard. Two young men led them into the third room on the left, opened the lock, pushed the door open, made a gesture of please, and stood at the door.
Inside, there was a large conference table, and by the door were four half-person tall traveler bags, all light gray, with improvised notes on them with the names of four people written on them, and a list of items. There are baseball caps, sunglasses, and veils on the edges of the two beauties.
Everyone began to check the things inside, and Zheng Xin, who was busy tying the veil, looked at everyone, and asked, "How beautiful are they?" Wu Li was full of amazement, and she couldn't describe Zheng Xin's big eyes in words. The veil only reveals the big eyes, large and smart, black and white, and under the long eyelashes, like two beautiful whirlpools, lose everyone's eyes. Jin Liang sighed in his heart, "Goblin, it's the goblin in the cartoon." ”
Jin Liang said, "I don't have a messenger, and I also have this short chisel on the zipper of my bag, doesn't it make me look sad?" Everyone pretended not to hear and began to check their belongings.
Jin Liang wondered if he could put it back after taking it out, and the things could be so neatly arranged. On top are sleeping bags and tents, and tent brackets are tied up and stuck straight along the bags. Below is a change of clothes, just two denim, two long-sleeved T-shirts, and a few underwear. Underneath is a thin padded jacket with a hat. Wu Li said, "In the sun at noon, this is much cooler than a bare shoulder." "It's really a style of dressing. The lower layer is a medicine bag, which has the blood circulation and stasis cream that he knows, a bottle of flat potion, and a bottle of pills, which should be antidote pills. Below are two pairs of travel shoes, a few pairs of socks, and a hydration bladder. At the bottom is a small wilderness survival pack, compressed cookies.
In the pocket outside the bag, a lighter, a magnesium rod for use in the field, a band-aid, a pack of masks, towels and toiletries, a thermos water cup, and really an electric razor, a weapon that did not have Jin Liang's requirements: a long whip.
The belongings of the other people were similar, except that the weapons were not there, Lin Wei went to the door to ask, and it turned out that the weapons were in the next room. A few people passed, and it was also a long conference table with a lot of weapons on it. The most conspicuous are the six recurve bows, all of which are large bows with a string length of about one meter and a half, three black and three cyan. Jin Liang saw that the long whip he asked for was also cyan, and he didn't know what material it was made of. The total length is four meters, the whip is about 30 centimeters, the thickness of the thumb, and then gradually tapered, and the weight is five or six catties. Lin Wei asked for two short sticks, which could be combined to become a whistle stick of about 1.8 meters, black and alloy, weighing about 20 catties. Just look at him on his shoulder, make a monkey mochizuki movement, very satisfied with his weapon.
Wu Li and Zheng Xin are familiar with assembling and disassembling big bows. The bow handle and the upper and lower bow pieces are about half a meter, and it is directly a flat slot, which is easy to install and disassemble. Since it is a traditional recurve bow and has no other parts, it can be disassembled and inserted into the outer pocket of the backpack. The length of the arrow is about 70 centimeters, and each person can only carry 20 arrows, 10 in a bundle, and the backpack is on the side of the person, and two quivers are made, which can be put just right.
Jin Liang saw that there were other weapons on the table, so he took ten darts, diamond-shaped black frosted. I also saw a slingshot, and I also took a handful and a bag of steel balls. After packing, the entire backpack was full, and the leather whip was wrapped around the backpack by Jin Liang, and the whip handle was hidden behind him.
Zheng Xin really gave Jin Liang two quivers, two pairs of shoes, and said that Yu Wen said that this was the first issue of the two of them. If you are still tired later, you will deliver it in installments. The whole weight is only more than 30 catties, and it doesn't matter to Jin Liang now, it's just ugly, there are four women's shoes hanging outside the bag, red, green, and green. The four of them went straight out of the courtyard like this.
Jin Liang looked at the sky, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, at the base, the sun should have set in the West Mountain, here, looking at the sun at noon. Wearing denim and a long-sleeved T-shirt, the temperature is bearable, estimated to be around 30 degrees. Since his cultivation, especially since Bigu, he doesn't seem to be very sensitive to temperature, and the four of them look indifferent. Two young men came over to Jin Liang and said that their superiors had asked them to send them to the ancient city of Jimo.
"Well, the ancient city has already been discovered?" Jin Liang was stunned. "It's a touristy and the last ancient city. Wu Li looked at Jin Liang and blinked. Several people laughed. "Sister Yu asked us to go deep into the desert today, see the moon in the desert, and then go all the way west. Zheng Xin added, "All the way to the west, learn from the experience." Monkey head ahead of the path. Lin Wei rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky.
The ancient city is located about 6 kilometers southwest of QM County, and the old Cherchen River bank platform SH is 1273 meters high, and the surface of the site has no vegetation and has been desertified. The ancient city of the end of the ancient region is one of the thirty-six countries of the ancient Western Regions, due to many reasons, the ancient city of the end of the world, like the ancient city of Loulan and Niya, has become a place where people are fascinated and eager to explore, but the difference is that the ancient city of the end is little known and more mysterious. These are all the information that Jin Liang knows so far, and when they really get off the bus there and look at the ruins developed by the tour, they are still very shocked.
It is about 1 kilometer long from east to west and 200 meters wide from north to south, showing the Yadan landform. There are a large number of pottery shards and iron pieces scattered on the surface, and iron slag, and several pieces of grinding stone fragments, glass pieces, and material beads have been collected. In addition, in the central area of the site, there are still several houses and other architectural ruins remaining, which proves that this is the site of the Han army's Tuntian garrison city, and the excavated antiquities include ancient woolen fabrics, burial chambers full of corpses, and pottery shards and bows and arrows. The ancient city walls have all collapsed, and you can see the ruins of the river moat around the city, telling the vicissitudes of life.
This season is the off-season for tourism, and there are no people in the whole scenic area. The May sun in the desert without greenery feels like a scorching smell. Wu Li and Zheng Xin are wearing veils, sunglasses and sun hats. Jin Liang and Lin Wei are also wearing sunglasses and sun hats, which is also normal in the scenic spot. Several people have the same feeling, will this be just a barracks, if you find the real ancient city, will it be even more shocking. It was decided to set off into the depths of the desert.
Looking to the south, there are thousands of meters of high mountains in the distance, one after another, really as sung in the song, "the towering mountains are connected to the sky", the east and west direction does not know how long, the back of the mountain is also a mountain, I don't know how many layers. Closer, you can see the outline of the county seat of QM, where there is greenery and goldenness. Hangzhou is a paradise of one style, and here is a paradise of another. Seeing the golden poplar standing beside the road, this is the first time Jin Liang has used "standing" on a tree, and seeing it, he finally realized what is the poplar style of "born and not dying for a thousand years, dying for a thousand years without falling, and falling for a thousand years without rotting".
Looking to the north, there are already sand dunes one after another, cascading into the distance. It's rare that there is no wind today, the sky is blue, and there is no floating dust. The surface of the dunes is as hot as rippling water. A few people standing on a sand dune are more shocking than facing the sea.
Looking at the compass on his watch, Jin Liang asked for the opinions of several people and decided to go northwest, facing the sun until it was dark, and he could still walk more than 20 kilometers.
After walking for more than half an hour, there was no trace of personnel activity behind him. Lin Wei pretended his short stick as a whistle stick, carried it on his shoulder, and walked in the front. Step by step, the sand dunes are not as soft as imagined, and they sink about two centimeters. Wu Li and Zheng Xin walked in the middle, and the two backpacks were slightly larger. Fortunately, after the training at the base, I saw that they were still walking very easily, and they were chatting about something while walking. Zheng Xin had already drunk a glass of water.
Jin Liang walked last, he had already taken off his shoes, also hung on the back of his bag, and walked barefoot. The sand is coarser than on the beach, and the heat is estimated to be forty degrees, which can withstand it.
Slowly, the scenery remained the same, the dunes were made up of yellow-brown weathered sand, with a golden layer on the sunny side, and a dark brown on the sun-facing side, and the top of the dunes swayed like ripples in the desert.
Jin Liang squinted his eyes and began to walk intently, the sand dunes high and low, undulating and undulating, were all the same road in front of him, each step was evenly stepped out of seventy centimeters, and the whole body qi machine continued to adjust the running line with the needs of walking. Gradually, the exertion of physical strength is reduced to a minimum. He tried his best to close the pores, and his body temperature rose little by little, until he was about thirty-eight, and he opened the pores for a while, and so on, controlling the body temperature at thirty-eight degrees.
After adjusting the qi engine, he immersed a part of his mind in the planetary world in his body, and found that he could basically enter at any time, and immediately exit, and in the process of walking, it was as if he was walking while perceiving. Try for a while, afraid of mental fatigue and no longer perceive the inner world. Experiencing the environment in the desert, except for the rustle of walking, and the occasional speech of Zheng Xin and Wu Li, the earth was quiet.
Slowly, everyone was walking with peace of mind, learning from Jin Liang's appearance, and adjusting the qi machine to a new state. Like a camel in the desert, carrying a backpack, facing the sun, dragging a long shadow, it was just one camel bell away, and it became four black spots in the desert.
The body slowly found a sense of transparency, and the spirit began to become ethereal, and the surrounding desert seemed to be no longer dead and silent, and there was a desolate and distant breath, calling in the distance.
Under the sunset in the west, the desert is really beautiful!
