Taklimakan desert is one of the largest deserts in the East. In Uighur, it means "you can go in, but you can't get out". Later, some people called it "sand sea hell".
There is a magic legend about this desert. Long ago, people living here hoped to bring the snow water from Kunlun mountain on the edge of Taklimakan desert to alleviate the drought here. They mobilized a lot of people, hoping to use simple tools to dig a ditch to draw snow water into the desert.
Their efforts moved one of the treasures in the sky, so they handed over their carefully cultivated golden axe to the Kazaks, who were responsible for splitting mountains and opening channels to divert water.
Another precious golden key was handed over to the Uygur people, hoping to let them open the mysterious treasure in the Tarim Basin and use it as the cost of opening the mountain diversion canal.
unfortunately, this magic key was lost by the keeper, the little daughter of the old fairy, and could not be found.
The old fairy was very angry, so he imprisoned his little daughter forever in the Tarim Basin, and the center of the basin became the world-famous Taklimakan Desert.
The young men and women in karahan mountain, regardless of the path of the herdsmen, are trying to dissuade them.
Needless to say, these two men and women are of course Xin Youxuan and the master of wisdom.
Before they entered the desert, they bought three camels, two of which were used as their mounts, and the other was used to transport their supplies into the desert.
In the vast desert, it is not like the prairie. If you want to walk in it, you must have enough fresh water and food. Otherwise, you will die of hunger and thirst after walking for a long time.
At first, they can see the wild animals, such as Populus euphratica and Phragmites, on the edge of the desert.
Both of them came to the Taklimakan Desert for the first time. At the beginning, they were very cautious when they heard what the herdsmen said. However, along the way, they didn't not only feel the danger, but also found it very interesting.
The wise man happily sang the ballad of his hometown in the desert. It turned out that their country, where there are large deserts, in some deserts there are still some herdsmen living.
In the desert, riding camels, walking speed is not fast, they walk on the side, generally chat.
The wise man asked, "brother Youxuan, we are going to Dunhuang in Gansu Province. Why are we in the Taklimakan desert again?"
Xin Youxuan replied, "the map of Shipan shows that before we go to Dunhuang in Gansu Province, we have to come to the Taklimakan Desert, and then go to Dunhuang in Gansu Province from here. As for the reason, I'm not sure."
"I feel that the things of Sirius are more and more complicated, and I don't know how many secrets we don't know." Wisdom is the way.
Xin Youxuan said: "life is like this desert. After a gust of wind, unexpected secrets may emerge."
Just after this analogy, the wind is blowing in the desert, and it is blowing more and more. The fine grains of sand hit the face, which is very painful.
They quickly followed the method taught by the desert people, wrapping their face with a special cloth, leaving only the eyes.
The wise man complained: "you see what you say, it's always good, but as soon as you say gale, the gale comes."
"Ah, it's so speechless!" Xin Youxuan sighs.
"Let's hurry to find a shelter, or we'll be in trouble." The wise man suggested.
Xin Youxuan said: "don't worry, the camels we bought this time are all through the desert. It will guide us to take shelter there."
Sure enough, when the camel saw the strong wind coming, it speeded up and walked forward.
After walking for about an hour, the camel led them to a small hill. On the back of the hill, there was a small pond. The surrounding plants grew luxuriantly under the water of the pond.
They were so overjoyed that they hastened the camel to get here.
Although the wind is very strong, but here because of the barrier of the hill package, the wind has been very small.
They quickly set up their tent by the water and planned to spend the night here before moving forward.
It's a very difficult thing to walk against the wind.
Besides, it's so nice to have a water source here. They also need to replenish the recently consumed water here to let the camels have a good rest.
They often lived in the wild, and the settlement of tents was soon settled.
Xin Youxuan finds some dead branches and raises a fire.
Desert is like this, during the day you are hot, you do not want to wear clothes, but at night, the temperature drops rapidly, very cold, must burn a fire to keep warm, otherwise, people are very easy to get sick.
Sitting next to the fire and baking, people are much more comfortable. The wise master takes out dry food from the fire. They bake on the fire and eat dry food.The wise man said, "well, if only you could beat a wild animal and roast it."
"You think it's beautiful. It's not like the edge of the desert. Wild animals often appear here. Here, let alone big animals, are small wild animals. I'm afraid there are no traces." Xin Youxuan said with a smile.
The wise man pretended to be angry and said, "you will fight against me. People want to have barbecue, but you say that there is no trace of wild animals. It's boring!"
"Well, well, there are wild animals. The princess we respect wants to have barbecue, and the beast will surely sacrifice himself to the door." Xin Youxuan joked.
The wise man said with a smile, "it's almost the same!"
Two people are joking, Xin Youxuan suddenly look a change, softly said: "don't make a sound."
"What's the matter?" Asked the wise man strangely.
Xin Youxuan replied, "I seem to hear some kind of sound."
"Cut, don't make a fuss here. It's a desert. It's windy. It's normal to make noise. It should be the sound of quicksand." The wise man said with disapproval.
Xin Youxuan said: "no, it's definitely not the sound of quicksand."
After that, he quietly got up and walked in the direction of the voice.
At this time, the sky has been dim down, distant things to see is not too clear.
They just think that there should be something active in the grass.
The wise master asked in a low voice: "is it the Xiaoyao scattered person who secretly followed us behind his back?"
"It's possible." Xin Youxuan nodded and said.
After that, he picked up a handful of sand, carried the magic power of nature, and threw the sand as a hidden weapon with the technique of "flying rain".
Then there was a squeak in the grass.
Xin Youxuan a joy, way: "hit."
Let the wise master stay in place, just in case, and quickly move forward to see what he has done.
When he came to the grass, he couldn't help laughing. It was a hare that was hit.
Xin Hsien Hsien raised his hand and picked up the rabbit. He shouted to the wise man, "the royal highness of your honor, you are right. The barbecue is there."
"That's great." The wise man smiles happily and says.
After that, he jumped on the ground innocently.
It didn't matter. The ground collapsed with a roar. They didn't expect that the ground was so weak. They didn't have any defense. They all fell with it.
Fortunately, the cave was a slope and not deep. After they fell down, there was nothing wrong.
The wisdom of the venerable in the fall of the moment has been firmly holding Xin Youxuan's right hand.
After stopping from the slope, Xin Youxuan asked with concern: "sister Hongyin, are you ok?"
"It's OK. It's really bad luck. Last time, the stone wall in haqichebuqigou suddenly split and fell into the Sirius energy station. This time, it fell into a cave in the desert. I really don't know what's under it?" Wisdom is the way.
Xin Youxuan said: "no matter, it seems that the rabbit meat is not delicious!"
"At this time, you are still in the mood of joking. Hurry to light the fire fold and see the situation inside." Wisdom is the way.
Xin Youxuan takes out a fire fold from his treasure bag and lights it. He sees that it is very wide under the slope. It seems that it is a palace. It may be buried by the sand in the desert, but the buildings in the palace are very solid.
After the wind and sand buried the roof, there was still nothing under it, thus forming an underground world under the desert.
The wise master comes from Persia. He has heard the stories about the ancient countries in the western regions from the merchants who traveled on the Silk Road since he was a child.
When he saw the painting on the marble wall, he said aloud, "brother Youxuan, this is the palace of niagu."
I haven't heard of niago. What kind of country is it? Xin Youxuan asked.
According to the master of wisdom, Loulan is the most powerful country among the 36 countries in the western regions.
They lived in the middle of the two powerful dynasties, Xiongnu and Dahan. In order to survive and benefit, at the beginning, they attached themselves to the Xiongnu royal court. Later, with the penetration of the power of the Dahan Dynasty into the western regions, they admired the extensive and profound culture of the Central Plains and submitted to the then Dahan Dynasty.
With the protection of the Great Khan dynasty and its superior geographical location, Loulan was once very prosperous, and many smaller countries around him were subject to his small feet.
But I don't know how to deal with it. This very powerful country in the western regions has gradually disappeared in history, and there is no trace.
The wise master said this to Xin Youxuan and sighed: "I can't believe that this former kingdom is under the rolling yellow sand."
"The rise and fall of the dynasty is an unchangeable rule, but the Loulan ancient country doesn't know why it died?" Xin Youxuan asked.There are a lot of paintings on the marble wall. They said while they were watching.
The wise master suddenly pointed to one of the paintings and cried, "brother Youxuan, look at this painting."
After seeing it, Xin Youxuan was stunned. This painting is actually a boat shaped thing falling from the sky, and then a dolphin like thing came out of it, a mass of black fog around him.
Xin Youxuan said, "this is the leader of the Sirius tribe in osiria convia, the Sirius Galaxy we met."
"Really, this should be the dark king." Then the wise man went on.
The next mural depicts the king of Loulan worshiping the dark king who came down from the sky. He thought that he was an immortal in the sky, so he led his people to kneel down and pray that he would stay here.
The next painting depicts Loulan King inviting the dark king into the main hall of the palace and arranging him to sit beside him.
Later, the Loulan King disappeared in the palace. It seemed that he was floating in the air. The king of darkness was sitting in the palace.
Seeing this, Xin Youxuan said: "it seems that after the dark king came to Loulan, he must have used some method to make Loulan's subjects think that Loulan king has become an immortal, and he has replaced Loulan king."
"It should be." The wise man nodded and said.
Xin Youxuan asked suspiciously, "I just don't know why the dark king of osiria convia became the queen of Loulan, but made Loulan disappear. What's the reason?"
"That is, according to Mrs. Sirius, what they are in charge of is far beyond us. This kind of problem should not occur." The wise man also asked.
When Xin Youxuan came down, he still had the hare in his hand.
After coming down, in order to see the painting on the wall conveniently, it was still on the ground.
The rabbit was just knocked unconscious by the sand shot by Xin Youxuan, and did not die. When Xin Youxuan and they were looking at the painting, the rabbit woke up and ran away.
Xin Youxuan and the wise master are watching these murals. Hearing the sound, the wise master shouts: "brother Youxuan, hurry up, the hare is alive again and running away."
"If you want to run, there is no door." Xin Youxuan turns his head and shouts.
Then he started his lightness skill and ran after him.
The palace of Loulan is very big, and the hare is running around in it. Although their lightness skills are excellent, they are hard to catch up with.
After a while, the wise master was a little frustrated and said, "brother Youxuan, forget it. We'd better spare the hare. Anyway, we also have dry meat. We don't have to eat it."
But Xin Youxuan was so excited that he had to catch up with the hare.
Running, running, they followed the Hare into a basement of Loulan palace.
When they entered, the hare went into a cave in the basement.
The cave is so small that they can't catch the hare.
