Qingfeng City in the Desert

Chapter 67

Guo Ziyi and his wife finally arrived at Devil's Lake. The Devil's Lake is surrounded by mountains. From a distance, they can only see a desert. Even the mountains are hidden in the desert. The navigation guides them to the vicinity of Devil's Lake. Guo Ziyi: "Arrived, Devil's Lake should be Right here."

Tie Li: "It's a desert, where is there a lake?" Guo Ziyi's first trip to Qingfeng City was a coincidence. The Devil's Lake should also be hidden in a certain area, but he didn't find an opportunity. Turn around the desert.

Tie Li: "The carriage seems to be going around in circles?" Guo Ziyi: "Chitu Ma may know the way to enter Devil's Lake, so just follow it." I didn't find Devil's Lake until noon. Guo Ziyi said, "Stop and rest." Chitu The horse stopped automatically, and Tie Li got off the carriage and untied the reins.

Chituma was having fun in the desert, Guo Ziyi and Tie Li set up the awning, the sun was shining, and it was hot. Guo Ziyi said, "It's too hot today. Let's make cold noodles." Tie Li: "Okay!" It's so cold After sleeping for a while, until the sun turned to the west, Guo Ziyi said, "Look again while it's cool."

Packed up and put on the carriage and continued to look for Devil Lake. It was dark after three hours. Tie Li: "Sir! Stop!" He has reached the destination, and he doesn't need to travel at night. Guo Ziyi: "Okay! I will take turns to rest tonight. It's gone." The people from Shenlongmen watched them secretly.

I just felt that Guo Ziyi was alert and did not approach, Tao Qi and Fu Bei said together: "Second Master, do you think they can find the entrance?" Fu Bei: "Guo Ziyi is not an ordinary person, it is only a matter of time to find the entrance, Master let us monitor , don't try to stop them."

The master of Shenlongmen and Guo Ziyi played an ensemble. They were very fond of Guo Ziyi and warned the disciples not to embarrass Guo Ziyi. As for what they were going to do on Chiba Island in Devil's Lake, let him go. Fu Bei took Tao Qi to watch from a distance and saw Guo Ziyi and Tie Li raised a glass.

Tao Qi: "Second Master, look, they are drinking again. Their wine is really good." Fu Bei: "If you are full and sleep, no matter how good the wine is, I will not give you a drink." When they came out, they brought With dry food, but there is no wine, Fu Bae: "Children's family, so greedy for cups!"

The desert is very cold at night. People living in the desert like to drink some wine to ward off the cold. Tao Qi has been drinking since he was a child. Greedy for cups, drinking wine as tea since childhood, drinking water will not quench thirst."

They lay on the desert, covered with blankets to keep out the cold, and slept. They woke up in the middle of the night. Tao Qi got up and picked up some branches to grow. They were located higher than Guo Ziyi's sand dunes. They hid behind the dunes to make a fire. Yes, Fu Bei also got up: "It's so cold tonight."

Tao Qi: "Second Master, drinking can quench the cold and quench your thirst." Fu Bei: "Drinking is a mistake, the water bag is with me." They sat by the fire, and Fu Bei took a sip and smashed his mouth: "Naughty, you Didn't you say you brought water?" Tao Qi: "It's water, the second master drank it at night."

Fu Bei thought that it was true, how could the dry food for dinner and the water to drink become wine?Fu Beiteng stood up: "No, Guo Ziyi has come." Tao Qi: "Second Master, don't scare me!" When they were in Populus euphratica, Guo Ziyi had already cleaned up the two of them.

The two fell asleep craving for cups and were hanged by Guo Ziyi on the Populus euphratica tree. Tao Qi didn't care, took the water bag from Fu Bei and took a sip: "It's wine, Mr. Guo Ziyi has really been here, second master! Ye Han, Mr. Guo brought the wine For our grandfathers to ward off the cold, Mr. Guo wanted to harm us, and his head moved early."

Fu Bei thinks it is true, if Guo Ziyi wants to kill them, he will do it at night, and there is no need to poison them in the wine: "Boy, don't hold on to the wine bag and don't let go, save some for the second master." Tao Qi put the wine The bag was handed over: "Second Master, here it is!"

You take a sip and I take a sip, and it's dawn when you drink, Tao Qi: "Second Master, it's dawn!" Shaking the wine bag: "There's no more wine." The fire is no longer strong, Fu Bei : "Roast two sweet potatoes." Tao Qi put the sweet potatoes into the fire and covered them.

Climbing up the sand dunes to see, Guo Ziyi and his wife have already eaten breakfast and are ready to set up the carriage: "Second Master, they are going to leave." Fu Bei: "Let them go, they can catch up after breakfast." The roasted sweet potatoes are them For the breakfast of the two grandfathers, eating a roasted sweet potato is full.

The scorching sun rose, Guo Ziyi and his wife hid in the carriage to enjoy the shade, Fu Bei and Tao Qi were struggling on the hot desert, Tao Qi said, "Second Master, the sun is too poisonous, take a break?" Fu Bei: " They'll find the entrance soon, and they'll have a place to cool off in a while."

The carriage made a miraculous turn, and the scenery in front of him changed immediately. There were emerald green everywhere, towering trees, high mountains and flowing water. When you looked up and looked at the mountains all around, it seemed like you had entered another country. The Devil's Lake Chiba Island is in the desert. Very few can find.

The people of Shenlongmen also rely on secret memory to find the entrance to Devil's Lake. A crystal clear lake appears in front of them. This lake is dozens of miles away, and there is an island in the middle of the lake. Guo Ziyi: "That should be Qianye. Island." Tie Li: "It should be."

Guo Ziyi led his horse and walked along Devil's Lake. Although the lake water is very clear, it is impossible to go to Chiba Island without a boat. Guo Ziyi said, "You can only cut trees to make platoons." Tie Li: "Sir, what is cutting trees to make platoons?" ?" Tie Li has never seen the discharge on the water.

Guo Ziyi explained patiently, and Tie Li took out the axe from the carriage: "Sir! How thick is the trunk?" Guo Ziyi: "You can't cut down trees arbitrarily, otherwise there won't be this thousand-mile desert. Let's walk forward and see. Pick some dense woods to cut down trees."

The carriage stopped by the side of Devil's Lake, the red rabbit was grazing by the lake, Guo Ziyi carried an axe into the mountain, and Tie Li followed behind with a rope on his back. Looking for suitable trees along the lake, Tie Li said, "Bamboo forest!"

Guo Ziyi followed Tie Li's gesture and saw a bamboo forest. This location is not far from Devil's Lake, and it is very convenient to send it to the lake after felling. Guo Ziyi: "It is better to use bamboo. It’s easy to chop, and it’s easy to build bamboo rafts.”

The four pine trees and the rest are made of bamboo, and the green bamboo is used as a rope to bind the double-layer bamboo raft. Guo Ziyi: "Launch!" The two pushed the bamboo raft into the water together, and the large bamboo raft floated on the lake after launching. Guo Zi used ropes to fasten the bamboo raft to the lake.

Tie Li: "Sir, how can we let the bamboo raft go?" Devil's Lake is calm, and the bamboo can move forward by paddling the water. Guo Ziyi doesn't know how dangerous the front of Devil's Lake is: "The bamboo raft is not finished yet, and we need to set up a tent. , there is a place to sleep at night, and the bamboo raft is your home."

Tie Li: "Sir, what do you say? Tie Li will listen to you." Tie Li has lived in the desert since he was a child. The Devil's Lake is already here. Guo Ziyi made the bamboo raft very large. First, he can bring more things.

The second is to bring the red rabbit horse. The red rabbit horse is a god horse. It can help when it is critical. The bamboo raft is tied very firmly. Even if there are unknown creatures underwater, the bamboo raft will not be scattered by hitting it twice. Guo Ziyi takes it. The tools are very complete, set up a pergola on the bamboo raft,

There were both bamboo tables and stools. Guo Ziyi said, "Tie Li, try getting on the bamboo raft." Now, Tie Li shouted, "The shoes are wet."
