Pursuing Immortality

Frontier, Fire Island.

Huozhou originally had a minority name, which meant a rich and fertile land. However, it is located in the basin, surrounded by high mountains, long sunshine, and hot weather all year round, just like it is on fire. Over time, the real name was erased, but the nickname remained.

It's October, and it's cool in autumn elsewhere, but the summer here is 153 days and the temperature is still high. And it is very hot during the day, cold at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.

Gu Yan arrived at Huozhou in the afternoon. It was already night. He was lying in a hotel and holding a map to study.

Since ancient times, this place has been an important hub for communication between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, with mixed religions and cultural diversity. He drew a circle on the Flame Mountain, and then connected to the ancient city of Gaochang-Qianfo Cave-Astana Tombs.

These four places are close to each other and can be used as a route.

Originally I just wanted to go to the Flame Mountain, but my girlfriend is very kind to the Buddhists now, so I will take a look. That Gaochang City was once a major place in the Western Regions, where Buddhist affairs flourished. It is known as "three thousand people in the city and three thousand monks."

The Yuan Dynasty was completely deserted, leaving a pile of ruins. The nearby Qianfo Cave is the royal temple of the Gaochang royal family.

He made this line, and then paused, planed out natural landscapes such as Grape Gully and Lake Aiding, and drew a circle in the old city of Jiaohe.

Jiaohe is similar to Gaochang. It was once a major traffic area and is now an abandoned deserted city. The former is to the east of Huozhou, and the latter is to the west.

When he made a simple plan, he threw the map and looked at the small room, and suddenly felt a bit deserted. It has always been paired, and Leng Buding is not used to it.

Xiaozhai wants to go to Songshan first, he wants to come to Xiqiao first, and the two have their own differences. Her distance was short and she had already arrived.

"Ugh……"

Gu Yan sighed and had to pick up his cell phone and dialed it. A few seconds later, Xiaozhai's voice came over there: "Hey? Are you here?"

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm raising my energy and preparing to go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Do you have a plan?"

"No, just go straight."

"Don't make a fool of yourself. There are too many people in that place. Keep your points away." He was sweating wildly.

"Hah, rest assured, I'm a woman of great compassion ..."

Xiao Zhai laughed twice and asked, "Yes, is there anyone on your side?"

"Yes, let's say six or seven less."

"I'm almost the same, I'm totally open, and everyone can get a tour group, share the food and accommodation, and they're all tired ..."

There was no way to move the whole body with one stroke. When Phoenix Mountain moved, all the forces began to rush.

The two would not be naive, thinking that the government did not know, that Bai Bo was looking for a stone, it must be allowed by the family. That family allows, it means that the big brother above allows.

It can be said that all civil behavior is related to the attitude of the upper classes.

After chatting for a while, Gu Ye hung up the phone, he took off his shirt, was going to enter the bathroom, and suddenly heard a small sound coming from the door.

"rustle!"

Someone seemed to pass by, and then a card tucked in under the door.

Alas, is there a big health care in this place?

He leaned over and picked it up, not the pretty young lady's phone number, but a sentence: Please go to the restaurant next door and tell it.

"laugh!"

He sneered and described you! A sneaky guy who doesn't dare to show up, why is he so confident?

Gu Yi threw the card and went to take a shower.

…………

"Flame Mountain, 20 people! 20 people!"

"It's one more short, just leave the car!"

The next day, in the downtown square, next to the bus line leading to the Flaming Mountain, several black cars stopped swaying, and several drivers were sipping hard.

From time to time, there are singles, couples, or small groups of tourists who are attracted to the bargain, bargain, and then get on the car and leave.

Waiting for the square to be quiet for a while, another tall and thin young man came over, and the remaining driver busyly said, "Go to the Flame Mountain?"

"How about one day?"

"Four hundred, how long have you been waiting."

"can."

Yo! The driver was instantly hi-skinned, and the coolest thing is to meet this kind of tourists, generous, not ink.

The Flame Mountain is tens of kilometers away, right next to the highway. The car was driving on the road, Gu Yan looked at the desolation outside the window, and silently felt the change of aura.

The concentration of Huozhou is 1, which is twenty kilometers out of the city. But after 20 kilometers, although the value has not changed, the peace has greatly weakened.

There is obviously a strange amount of heat in the reiki, cluttered, free, and very unstable. It's like putting your face by the candle, the burning feeling.

"Master, stop and let me take a picture."

Gu Yan felt for a while, then suddenly heard.

"Hurry up, this will not allow parking!"

The driver didn't care, and stopped at the roadside slowly. There were more inexplicable young artists.

As soon as Gu Yi came, he ran to the front of a bush, touched the snoring branches and leaves, and then looked at the roots, inserted his fingers, and dug out a small piece of dirt.

Generally speaking, the soil of the vegetation root system is cool and contains water. But this piece of soil, like broken into small particles, has no stickiness and humidity.

"..."

He frowned suddenly, the situation was worse than expected. This is not an ordinary lack of water, but the plants themselves, even the essence in the soil, have been evaporated by arrogance.

Gu Yan stood up and looked around, full of such dried trees and vegetation, scattered scattered wasteland, seemingly desperately struggling for the last vitality.

This kind of scene makes people sigh for no reason and is helpless.

"Dude, are you done? We have to go!"

At this moment, the driver shouted in the back.

"Oh, immediately!"

He put the dirt in a bag, put it next to him, and wiped his car.

About half an hour later, you reached the area of ​​the Flame Mountain. Through the window, a rufous dwarf mountain can be seen, standing bare by the highway.

The car turned in again and entered the scenic area.

Gu Yan bought a ticket, stood in the square below the mountain, and looked up.

The mountain is thick and tortuous, and the slopes are covered with gullies. There are no grasses on the mountain, birds disappear, large expanses of bedrock are exposed, and it is covered with a layer of weathered sand.

It was red when the sky was clear, and the sandstone was shining brightly under the hot sun. The blazing air flow tumbling and rising, translucent with the dark red cloud of smoke, as if the flames were raging, the tongue of fire was soaring.

"Sure enough it is Flame Mountain ~ www.readwn.com ~ It's so hot!"

"It's more than ten degrees in the north, at least more than thirty degrees."

"Ah, okay, I have to take off my coat, it's all inside."

Tourists are noisy, excited, and marveled at the wonders of nature. Of course they couldn't see that the guy standing in the crowd suddenly turned around and stirred the air flow around him.

The aura here was already chaotic. Affected by this shock, it formed an invisible wave and quickly reached the top of the mountain. The red cloud of smoke on the top of the mountain swooped down like a red snake dancing around someone's side, and seemed to swallow him.

The red snake was unknowingly conscious, but was inherently full of aggression. He tried to erode into the body again and again, but he was stunned by his breath and disappeared instantly.

In just ten seconds, Gu Yi only felt that his aura was consuming quickly, and took most of his time. His breath was converged, and the calm and calm moment, the red snake lost his target and slowly returned to the top of the mountain.

(And at night ...)
