Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Xuandu is a small town located in the depths of the Northwest Sand Sea. As early as thousands of years ago, the surrounding area was swallowed up by the wind and sand. Shaded by trees and abundant in water, historians call it the island of life in the sea of undead.
Twelve said that thousands of years ago, after Le Wuyi passed away, there was no clear whereabouts in the world.Xie Yi guessed that the Zhaoming Excalibur is unrivaled in power, but soldiers are also weapons, if they are left to waste time, if unfortunately they fall into the hands of villains, the disaster will be endless.Le Wuyi may have such concerns, and it is very likely that Zhaoming will be buried with him.
To find the Excalibur Zhaoming, you must first find out where Le Wuyi's tomb is.
It's just that there is no difference in Yanshi's music, there is no record in the history books, and there is no way to verify his life and deeds. Moreover, the traces of people who have passed away for thousands of years have long been lost in the dust, so it may be difficult to find out the news.
However, things are going incredibly smoothly.
Xie Yi originally planned to ask Shen Ye and Twelve to go to the local library to look up local chronicles, or maybe find Le Wuyi's life account, but he himself lied about being the editor of a well-known historical magazine, and went to the street and the town hall to inquire about news.
Unexpectedly, when Xie Yi just arrived in Xiaodu, he accidentally asked an old man passing by casually, and got almost all the information that they planned to spend a lot of time investigating.
The old man said that those who are poisonous all remember Master Le, without him, this place would have been reduced to a desert long ago.Up to now, the wind and sand prevention facilities and water storage and supply system of Xuandu have all been improved and perfected on the basis of Yanjia made by Master Le. The deeds are engraved in the heart and passed down from generation to generation.
Le Wuyi lived until he was 90 years old. He spent most of his life in Xuandu and built tens of thousands of Yanjia, which turned Xuandu from a desert into an island of life with lush water and grass, completely changing the life of the local people. Life.He was married once, and his wife died when he was 36 years old. He brought her remains back and buried them in the extreme north of the Shahai Sea. It is said that the Polaris shines and the soul rests. After he was 90 years old, he suddenly disappeared. Farewell, he went to his wife's grave alone. Since then, no one has seen him again, and he was probably buried in the same grave as his wife.
The old man also took them to visit a secluded lake on the west side of Juedu with great interest. The lake covers an area of more than tens of acres. Aquatic plants with thin branches and narrow leaves grow in the smooth mud along the bank. The lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the skylight Cloud shadows, up and down.It is amazing that there are such lakes and waters in the desert.
The white sand is spread on the bottom of the lake, and the algae are intertwined. Occasionally, the pipes are exposed, which is the only corner of the water supply system that spreads all over the poisonous underground. It is the only part exposed above the huge underwater structure made by Yi, engraved with the coat of arms of "Yue Le Wu Yi".
The ruler is only five centimeters wide and about two centimeters thick. There is a small coat of arms engraved on the top, which looks like a flower. The composition is exquisite, but as a mark, the lines seem too complicated.
The old man explained that it was said that it was the hair ornament pattern of Master Le's deceased wife.
After thanking the old man, they made many inquiries. For the sake of accuracy, they consulted a large number of local chronicles. Both the official and the folk said that Le Wuyi and his wife's tomb were buried in the sandy sea in Mobei, but the exact location was unknown.
Although the information is limited, but the time is short, they can only go to the northern desert, there is no other way.
Xie Yi rented a well-functioning off-road vehicle from a local travel agency, prepared all the camping necessities such as water, food, gas lamps, compass, and tent sleeping bags, and drove away from Xundu on the same day to the depths of the desert.
The daytime in the desert is scorching hot and the heat is unbearable. During the day they stop to rest in the shade of the sand hill, and at night when the stars rise, they gallop towards the direction of the North Star.
If Le Wuyi let Zhaoming be buried with him, in order to prevent people from stealing, he would definitely set up traps or illusion barriers outside the tomb. They paid attention along the way, but except for the desert yellow sand, they did not see traps, illusions and the like. Fortunately, the desert scenery It is strange, the sand hills are stacked and undulating, and from time to time there are giant weathered rocks standing on the way, casting a thick and majestic shadow.When the sun rises and the moon sets, the sky changes, and it is extremely gorgeous, but it is also a feast for the eyes.Especially Xie Yi, who completely forgot that he was in a dangerous situation, and was as excited as if he was traveling on a long vacation.
After driving for several days, the three of them were a little tired. When they passed a sandy mountain with a height of more than ten meters, they found a shallow pond behind it, and there was a fluffy circle of green grass growing along the bank.A few days ago it was the rainy season in the desert, and the rainwater accumulated in the low-lying places on the shady side of the mountain, and the mountains shaded the sun, so it has not been completely dried yet.
It is rare to see water in the desert, so they decided to stop and rest for a night before leaving.So I took out two tents from the trunk and set up camp by the water, lit the gas lamp, cooked a few bags of shrunken vegetables and instant porridge for sharing, then boiled water to wash, and went to bed early.
She slept until midnight, but Shen Ye was woken up by Xie Yi.
After days of exhaustion, every minute of rest time is extremely precious. Shen Ye fell asleep for a long time, and was forcibly pulled out of deep sleep, with a chaotic mind and a messy mess.
Xie Yi smiled and said a few words, but Shen Ye seemed half awake and couldn't hear clearly, pressing his fingertips on his sleepy temples, his face was extremely ugly, his eyes were fixed on Xie Yi's face, his eyes A void, full of anger smoldering in the chest, waiting to explode.
Xie Yi smiled and kissed Shen Ye's forehead, quickly unzipped the sleeping bag and dragged him out, wrapped him in a thick down jacket, and pushed him out of the tent.
The temperature difference in the desert is huge, and the cold wind blows across the desert at night. This is a strong wind that can grind even boulders to death for a long time. You can hear the gale outside the tent in your sleep.As soon as Shen Ye stepped out of the tent, the cold air hit his face. His body, which was warmed in the sleeping bag, was shaken by the cold wind. Xie Yi gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Xie Yi, what are you going to do?"
Xie Yi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Aye, look at the sky."
Pulling him up in the middle of the night just to watch the sky?Shen Ye laughed angrily.
These days, Xie Yi is very interested in traveling, he really came here to travel, no matter whether he is on his way or taking a rest, he will not be able to live in peace, let alone looking at the scenery himself, and even disturbing him, he will not be at peace. It's just getting better and better.
Another gust of cold wind poured into the collar, Shen Ye gathered his clothes tightly, took a look at Xie Yi, turned around and walked into the tent, if it wasn't too cold outside, he was too lazy to waste time with Xie Yi, he would definitely throw this bastard out of water Go to the pond to wake up your mind.
"A Ye, don't rush to leave!"
Xie Yi quickly grabbed Shen Ye, raised his right hand under his chin, and forced him to look up.
Before Shen Ye could get angry at him, he was shocked by what he saw.
Mobei is far away from the hustle and bustle of people, and the air is clean. Looking at the night sky, you can see more than ten times the number of stars than the city.The farther you go north, the more beautiful the starry sky is. Looking at the sky now, you can see that the sky is densely covered with stars, diffracting from the sky to the four directions, extending to the junction of the sky and the earth. A bright river of light runs across the sky. It is covered with frost and white, and the ground is covered with silver sand.
Standing under it, I feel that the universe is vast and infinite, and people are as small as a mustard. The sky is silent, and its solemn beauty is vast and boundless.
With a warm patch on his back, Xie Yi hugged Shen Ye from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, and asked with a low laugh, "Is it pretty?"
Shen Ye nodded, his eyes were filled with the clear brilliance of the galaxy, overflowing with light.
It was not his first visit to the desert, but all that was left behind were bloody and painful memories. No matter how strange and beautiful the scene was, it was soaked in blood, which made him unbearable to look at.He never thought that there would be such a day that he and Xie Yi would be able to see the scenery side by side.
Xie Yi's lips were warm, he brushed against his cold ears, exhaled softly, and said softly: "When I went down to the world alone, I also traveled to the mountains and rivers and witnessed thousands of scenery. At that time, I often thought that the world is vast and beautiful. But you can’t see it, and I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to share it with you in my life. Every time I think of this place, I feel very lonely and very regretful.”
"It's good now. We have seen the northwest desert together. We will look for the descendants of the Lieshan tribe in the future, and then we will see the scenery along the way one by one. It can be regarded as the fulfillment of our unfulfilled wish at that time."
Shen Ye was moved in his heart, turned his head sideways, lightly touched Xie Yi's cheek with his lips, and said "OK" in a low voice.
"Aye..."
Xie Yi turned him around, and put his forehead against his forehead, so close that the slight touch of Shen Ye's drooping eyelashes could be clearly caught in his eyes.
He held the back of Shen Ye's neck with one hand, and kissed the lips that were close at hand, without deepening, just touching them, and then slowly and silently said three words.
Shen Ye's eyelashes flickered suddenly.
No matter how clichéd the lingering love story is, it will make people's hearts move, not to mention the silence in the wilderness, and the stars and men in the sky, it means that the sky and the earth are witnesses.
Shen Ye held Xie Yi's face with both hands, entangled his fingers in his hair, slid back along the hair, stopped at the back of his head and pressed down, kissing Xie Yi himself.
At the end of the kiss, both of them were panting, Xie Yi's eyes and lips were full of gentle smiles, he wiped Shen Ye's red, swollen and hot lips with his thumb, and wiped off the bright water stains on it, taking advantage of the good atmosphere, just After a few words of teasing, his eyes inadvertently touched the pond behind him, and he froze all of a sudden.
"What's the matter? Seeing him suddenly froze, Shen Ye followed his gaze suspiciously.
A ray of white light shoots straight from the center of the bottom of the pond to the sky, piercing the dark night like a sharp arrow, looking in the direction pointed by the white light, a large and bright star hangs high in the sky, the cold light is dazzling, and other stars scattered around It is all its foil, appearing bleak, small and subtle.
That's the North Star!
Xie Yi jumped into the pond and waded to the white light. The water was very shallow, and the deepest part in the center was only knee-deep. He bent down and groped for the shiny thing under the water with both hands. He brushed away the silt on the surface. The lock-type Yanjia mechanism covered with water essence fragments is engraved with a regiment pattern emblem.
He straightened up, waved his hands at Shen Ye who was standing on the shore, and said in surprise, "A Ye, wake up Twelve, we found it!"
