Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 55: The First Appearance of the "Holy City" (1)
At this moment, I heard Wang Dongyu's high-pitched voice: "What the hell is this weather? Why is it snowing?"

What?Snowing?
I was slightly taken aback, and managed to open my heavy eyelids. The originally crimson sky had now turned into a gray patch, and the fiery red sun had also disappeared behind the clouds.The snowflakes all over the sky fell down one after another, like white butterflies flying all over the sky.The snow was coming fiercely, and the yellow desert was soon covered with a thick layer of white snow. The sky and the ground were pure white.

This sudden blizzard made us dumbfounded. Why is it snowing like goose feathers in this furnace-like desert?If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was all true.It is so strange that there is heavy snow in the desert, which completely violates the laws of nature!

The snowflakes kept falling, and the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, dropping tens of degrees in no time, making our teeth chatter in the cold.It was as if we were taken out of a big stove and then thrown into an extremely cold ice cellar. The sharp contrast between hot and cold was like the two heavens of ice and fire, and the feeling was indescribably uncomfortable.

Lao Luo cut some willows from not far away and lit a fire. We sat around and warmed up by the fire, trying to drive away the cold.

Li Yingxin looked up at the gray sky, wanting to imitate a cultural person: "Why is the sky in the desert like a woman's face, changing as it pleases?"

As soon as this sentence was said, it was immediately refuted by Han Jing: "In my opinion, this weather is more like a man's heart, which changes every moment!"

Professor Ye asked Lao Luo: "You have been walking in the desert for so many years, have you ever encountered such a strange snowfall like today?"

Lao Luo shook his head: "I haven't encountered it, but people of the older generation should have encountered it. I heard from people of the older generation that a natural phenomenon is bound to cause disaster!" After saying this, Lao Luo He fell silent and fiddled with the bonfire with his head down.

However, Lao Luo's words made us feel anxious. Will there really be a disaster in the natural vision?What kind of disaster would that be?The atmosphere suddenly became dignified, and a feeling of uneasiness quietly enveloped each of us.

This rare desert snow lasted for two full hours, and when the snow stopped, it was already noon.During this period, we were so bored that we could only take a nap by the fire, but the cold temperature prevented us from falling asleep, and that feeling was really tormenting.

After the snow stopped, the pure and transparent sky quickly returned, the red sun hung obliquely in the sky, and the temperature in the desert rose rapidly, turning it into a sweltering furnace again.The snow on the desert quickly melted away, dipped into the sand, moistened the soil of the sand, and made the salix grow stronger.That kind of visual effect is very magical, you can clearly see the desert fade to yellow little by little, like a beautiful girl in white, gently take off the white gauze, revealing the smooth body inside.

Lao Luo stood up: "The snow has stopped, we can go on the road!"

I looked up and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, and my uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

I thought to myself: "It seems that the so-called 'natural vision, there must be disaster' is simply scaremongering!"

We packed up our things and continued to head north. According to our previous analysis, Devil City is to the north of Loulan Ancient Kingdom.

Looking at the desolation in his eyes, Lao Luo said with emotion: "I heard from the ancestors that Lop Nur used to be an oasis of life with herds of cows and horses, surrounded by green forests, and clear rivers. But now, alas, it has become an endless Gobi Desert. Not a single grass, not a stream, not a single bird in the sky, not a single bird dares to cross!"

"This is nature's punishment to human beings!" said Gu Meidi.

Everyone was talking, when they suddenly heard a booming sound from a distance, just like thunder.Everyone stopped talking, followed the sound and looked from afar, and found nothing unusual.The uneasy feeling in my heart seemed to wake up again.

But hearing the booming sound getting louder, even the ground below us began to tremble.

We don't know what happened, we all looked at each other in blank dismay, what's going on?Could it be an earthquake?

At this time, Lao Luo suddenly dropped his backpack, knelt down on the ground, clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest, and muttered reverently: "The gods are angry! Prostrate on the ground, kowtow to the distance.

Lao Luo's actions startled us, we looked at Lao Luo very puzzled: "Hey! What are you doing?"

Lao Luo even asked us to kneel down and worship with him, his face was very solemn: "This is the roar of the gods, and it is a sign of imminent disaster!"

I couldn't help but thumped in my heart: "Old Luo, what disaster is imminent? This...what happened?"

Before Lao Luo could answer my question, Han Jing next to him suddenly shouted, "Oh my God! Take a look!"

We followed Han Jing's pale fingers and looked up to the northwest, only to see a black wave appear on the horizon.That black wave was tens of meters high, like a waterfall falling from the sky, and like a black dragon hovering and flying, advancing at an extremely fast speed, devouring everything along the way.

We were all stunned, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what happened.However, seeing such a terrifying scene, it really looked like a huge air wave after the atomic bomb exploded.I was so horrified in my heart that I really couldn't find the right words to describe the intuitive feeling in my heart.

The black waves continued to surge, and quickly extended the range to more than ten kilometers. It seemed that a high black wall had been erected at the junction of the sky and the earth, blocking the blue sky and white clouds, and blocking all light.

Our originally bright mood suddenly fell to the bottom, this... Is this the catastrophe after the natural vision?
"My God! It's spectacular!" Wang Dongyu was the first to exclaim.

Lao Luo, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up suddenly, with a look of horror on his face, and shouted at us: "Run! Run! This is the black dragon sandstorm! This is the black dragon sandstorm that will destroy the world!"

While shouting loudly, Lao Luo turned and ran in the opposite direction from the Black Dragon Sandstorm.

Lao Luo behaved very calmly along the way, whether he encountered ghosts crossing the boundary or snakes, he was calm and unhurried.But at this moment, Lao Luo was acting so panic-stricken, it seemed that this black dragon sandstorm was indeed terrifying.

The black dragon sandstorm advanced very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it advanced several kilometers.From a long distance, I already smelled a strong breath of death.From a distance, the overwhelming black sandstorm looks like a running monster, and no one can stop it.

"Run! Run!"

A group of us staggered and rushed forward, the strong wind tore our voices apart, as if the god of death was chasing us behind.

The yellow sand covering the sky and the sun danced around us, and the sharp gravel hit our bodies, causing pain and pain.I held Gu Meidi's hand tightly, and ran across the sand with one foot deep and one shallow foot, my palm was full of hot sweat.

At this time, the sky is as thick as black ink, if we continue running at this speed, we will be swallowed up by Sharon in a short time.

My mind was blank, and I didn't know how long I had been running, when the person in front suddenly stopped.I looked up and found that we were in a dry riverbed. The high riverbed was like a natural barrier, which could help us keep out the sandstorm.The ground of the river bed was cracked into pieces of dry soil, and the cobweb-shaped cracks criss-crossed. It was hard to imagine that there was a clear river here, and there were groups of swimming fish.

"Why did you stop? Are we waiting to die if we stay here?" Wang Dongyu asked Lao Luo panting.

Professor Ye waved his hand to signal Wang Dongyu to stop talking: "Lao Luo has much more experience in living in the desert than we do, so he must have his reasons for choosing to stop here. Besides, even if we continue to run, we can't run past the black dragon sandstorm behind us." ah!"

The black dragon salon came very fast, the hurricane roared, and the flying sand and gravel fell on our faces and bodies, which hurt like a knife.The yellow sand all over the sky poured down like a torrential rain, and we didn't dare to open our mouths to speak, because if we opened our mouths a little, countless sand would get into our mouths.The visibility at this time was very low, and the strong wind made our eyes hard to open. In the face of natural disasters, we were as insignificant as ants.

Lao Luo desperately gestured to us, motioning us to go to the edge of the river bed.

We walked over quickly, and Lao Luo turned over and rolled under the rock wall without saying a word.

We don't know whether Lao Luo's method will work or not. The black dragon sandstorm is approaching rapidly, and we have no choice, so one by one, we rolled into the gap under the rock wall, and quickly wrapped our heads with clothes to avoid Sand blows into mouth, nose, ears, eyes.Then we prostrated on the ground, put our backpacks on our heads, like ostriches buried in the sand, quietly waiting for the coming of the black dragon sandstorm.

Gu Mei and I lay down on the ground meeting each other. I spread my five fingers and shook her little hand firmly. I told her in my heart: "Don't worry, the disaster will always pass!"

I don’t know if Gu Meidi heard the voice in my heart. She shook my hand vigorously in turn, and then opened her five fingers and interlocked my five fingers tightly. Fear cannot pierce the strong defenses we have built with love.

In fact, I don't know if we can still live after this terrible sandstorm sweeps through.Maybe we will be alive, maybe we will be buried in the dust. Many, many years later, when archaeologists discover our remains, they will find that the fingers of the two bones are still intertwined. At that time, there will be a sensation in the world. love story.

No one spoke, no one even moved, we seemed to be asleep, quietly, quietly, more like dead bodies, as if we had stopped breathing.

Only the sound of strong wind can be heard in the ear, like the roar of a devil.The raised gravel and stones fell down with a ping-pong-pong.From the sound of the increasingly impatient wind and the sound of falling stones, we know that the black dragon sandstorm is getting closer and closer to us.

We are now fighting against the sandstorm with a willpower that we have honed through countless lives and deaths, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.At that time, there was only one thought in my mind, no matter what, I must not die in such a desolate Gobi desert for no reason, let alone let the woman I love accompany me to die in such a place.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe 1 minute, maybe an hour, maybe a whole night, in short, I have never felt that time will pass so slowly like now.

The black dragon sandstorm finally passed, and we lay on the ground in extreme collapse, motionless like fish stranded on the tidal flat, and fainted unconsciously.

When I woke up again, it was already the dawn of the next day.I was awakened by thirst, as if a piece of coal had been stuffed into my throat, it was so dry that it was smoking.My head was dizzy and very heavy, as if it had been filled with lead, and I couldn't even lift it.The whole body was so sore and limp, as if it had been crushed by a steamroller, and it was withered and withered like a plant that had lost its nutrients.A wisp of soul wandered around the body, as if the body belonged to an unrelated stranger.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a golden thread appearing in the distant sky, and the golden thread spread rapidly and became a wave of golden tide.As the golden tide continued to surge, the darkness gradually receded, revealing the blue sky, but there was still a lot of dust floating in the sky, except for the blue part that was exposed, other places looked a bit withered and yellow.

Not far away, Lao Luo built a bonfire and was cooking gnocchi on the fire.

I touched my body and sat up from the ground in surprise, we are not dead!We miraculously survived!
For the miraculous survival this time, we all put the credit on Lao Luo. Fortunately, such an expert as Lao Luo was recruited for this operation. It is difficult to move an inch, or we have been buried in the vast desert at this time.

We hadn't eaten all day, and each of us felt hungry. Although the gnocchi were really not very tasty, we ate them up, and our empty stomachs were filled to the brim with gnocchi.

While we were packing our luggage, we cleaned off the sand and soil on our bodies, and we were ready to go back on the road.

Before leaving, Gan Hongxin ran to pee more than ten meters away by himself.

We were packing our backpacks when we heard Gan Hongxin screaming in the distance. My first reaction was that Gan Hongxin's little ancestor was bitten by fire ants.

Looking back, I saw Gan Hongxin standing not far away, waving his arms while dancing: "Professor Ye, come and take a look, I have made a major discovery!"

Probably because of being too excited, Gan Hongxin even forgot to fasten his trouser belt, and while dancing, his trousers suddenly slipped down.

"Oh my god!" I quickly reached out and covered Gu Meidi's eyes, "It's so ugly, don't look at it!"

"Did you find the treasure?" Wang Dongyu asked.

We walked over, Gan Hongxin pointed to the rock wall beside the river bed, and said excitedly: "It's not treasure! Look here!"

I saw a black stone inlaid on the rock wall half a meter high from the ground. The stone was very flat, more than one meter long and half a meter wide. It looked like a stone tablet.

"This is biotite!" Professor Ye said.

I nodded, wondering in my heart, how could there be a biotite stone in this boundless desert?

Wang Dongyu seemed a little disappointed: "This is what you call a major discovery, isn't it just a piece of mica stone, what a fuss, you still treat it as a treasure, don't you?"

Gan Hongxin blushed and said, "Nonsense! Of course I know it's biotite! But that's not what I want to talk about. Take two steps back and look carefully at the mica stone. It seems to be engraved with ancient characters!"

Are there ancient characters on the mica stone? !

We took two steps back suspiciously, and then took a closer look.At this time, the sun was just slanting down, and the black mica stone was shining brightly under the sunlight. We suddenly found that there were really two lines of ancient characters engraved on this mica stone.

After reading it for a long time, we don't know what the two lines of ancient characters above mean.

Wang Dongyu said disdainfully: "Oh, what kind of rare treasure do I consider it? Isn't it just a stone tablet? What's there to see? The sun in the sky is scorching, let's hurry up and get on the road!"

Everyone was about to leave, but Lao Luo suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
