There is still a wind blowing between the sky and the earth, but it is already very small, and the yellow sand is filled with air, floating in the air, and accidentally blows into the eyes and mouth, so they are all covered with cloth towels to prevent accidents.
They rested enough and were ready to move on.
Ghosting counted the supplies again, with a heavy expression on his face, "My lord, the water and dry food are both reduced by half, only enough to last for two days."
Yuwen Zhantian also became heavy when he heard the words, and asked Liu Yi: "Where are we going and how many days will it take to get out of the desert?"
Liu Yi looked at the sky, looked very far away, and then said: "I don't know where this is, but the storm made us go astray, and I lost my way."
"Then what should we do?" Murong Ci asked anxiously.
"Don't panic, Liu Yi has rich experience, and he can definitely lead us out of the desert." Yuwen Zhantian said firmly.
"The problem right now is that we have to get out of the desert within three days if we are lost." Murong Yu's dirty snowy face was heavy.
"I'll do my best." Liu Yi said.
"Everyone cheer up, we will definitely be able to get out of the desert." Gui Ying raised his voice to encourage morale.
The six subordinates shouted in unison, and their morale really improved a little.
After rectifying, the group continued on.
Liu Yi said that although he lost his way, experienced camels would not lose their way and let the camel find its own way.
The leading camel turned east, so they headed east.
Ghost Shadow whispered to Murong Yu: "Let the camel find its way, is it reliable?"
Murong Yu said: "Right now we can only trust him and Luo Tuo. Luo Tuo has traveled to and from this desert many times, and has rich experience, at least better than us."
Ghost no more words.
The people didn't dare to drink more water, and they endured and endured more and more, so they became more and more tired, and the camels were also exhausted. Liu Yi said that he could not ride any more and wanted to let the camel rest. Everyone can only come down and walk on foot.
If you can't walk anymore, just drink a sip of water.
Suddenly, Murong Ci fell to the ground, Murong Yu didn't see him, Yuwen Zhantian immediately rushed up, picked her up, took out the water bag and filled her with water.
"I'm not thirsty," she said hoarsely, her voice was low and weak, and her breath was like gossamer.
"I still don't want to drink after it's all like this." He was so angry that he forced her to drink a mouthful of water.
Qin Ruo ran away anxiously, but because of panic, she tripped herself and fell to the ground.
Ghost Ying hurried over and helped her up, his eyes were full of pity, "You can't hold on anymore, you have to take care of yourself."
She got up with his strength, "I'll go see Your Highness."
"Your Highness is fine, you can drink some water."
"I'm fine."
However, as soon as she stood up, she became dizzy and fell into his arms.
Over there, Murong Yu rushed over and snatched Ah Ci from Yuwen Zhantian's arms, "A Ci, what do you think?"
He touched her forehead, but fortunately, there was no fever.
Ah Ci had just recovered from a serious illness, and rushed to Ruoqiang before his physical strength fully recovered. Compared with before, his body was much weaker, so he was exhausted. Otherwise, with her years of martial arts training, how could she easily fall down.
Murong Ci shook his head, grabbed his shoulders and got up, his eyes cleared up, "It was just carelessness."
Yuwen Zhantian saw that they were so close, and she was so fragile, he felt complicated, pained and pitiful.
At the moment when he hugged her just now, many thoughts swirled in his mind. She was so weak and light, like a tiny grain of yellow sand that would be blown away by the strong wind at any time. The tenderness and love at that moment is better than countless lingering lingering.
Liu Yi in front had already walked several feet away, and they continued to move forward.
Until dusk, they still didn't know whether they were going in the right direction, and everything was left to fate.
Ghosting was worried, and couldn't help but ask Liu Yi: "Is this direction right? Don't lie to us."
Liu Yi said angrily: "I told you what to do, you adults can't get out of the desert, and I can't get out of it either."
Yuwen Zhantian asked solemnly: "After walking for so long, you still can't find your way?"
Liu Yi didn't answer, he took a few steps forward, knelt down on the yellow sand, kowtowed devoutly, and muttered something.
This time, he prayed more devoutly, praying nine times.
Everyone just waited foolishly, watching him bow to the sky.
Suddenly, Qin Ruo exclaimed in surprise: "Look at what that is!"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and Murong Ci saw a strange scene: on the horizon in the distance, there seemed to be a tree, which was not high, and suddenly appeared in the vast yellow sand. The whole tree is as bright as crystal and as white as snow, shining with strange, bright and blurred light.
Liu Yi was very excited and bowed down, his voice was sad and pleasantly surprised, "God bless the gods bless the gods bless the gods bless the gods"
Afterwards, he turned his head and said to the crowd: "My lords, come down and bow down quickly."
The ghost shadow was surprised and puzzled, "kneel down to that tree"
"This is the instruction of the gods. It is the manifestation of God to follow this direction. It is the correct direction and you can walk out of the desert." Liu Yi said seriously.
"Really, I want to worship." Those subordinates rushed forward to kneel down one after another, and no one wanted to die here.
The yellow sand reflected the crystal-clear strange tree, the contrast was sharp, and it was more like the manifestation of a god.
Murong Ci and Qin Ruo bowed devoutly, Murong Yu and Yuwen Zhantian looked at each other for a moment, then knelt down and bowed.
After kneeling down, Liu Yi stood up and explained: "That is the sacred tree of the desert. Whenever you see such a sacred tree in the desert, it is the instruction of the gods, and it is the manifestation of the gods. In the past, my father and I lost our way in the desert. We lost our way four times. I have seen this sacred tree, as long as I walk towards it, I can find my way and get out of the desert."
Murong Ci and Qin Ruo looked at each other, it was so amazing
He saw that they didn't quite believe it, and continued: "My lords, don't believe it. As long as you believe in this sacred tree, you will be able to get out of the desert. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of the desert."
The ghost quickly said: "We believe, why don't we believe it?"
After that, they walked towards the sacred tree, and finally approached the sacred tree after half an hour.
Ghosting muttered: "Isn't this Populus euphratica? Why is Populus euphratica white and crystal clear from a distance?"
Yuwen Zhantian patted him on the shoulder, "Maybe this is the magic of the desert. Let's go."
Murong Ci also found it inconceivable, why it turned into an ordinary Populus euphratica when he looked at this sacred tree up close
There are so many unexplainable phenomena in the world.
That night, the wind was surprisingly cold, Qin Ruo curled up and shivered, and so did the others, covering their bodies with all the clothes they could cover. The ghost kept vigil, took off his robe and covered her, and she fell asleep in a daze.
Murong Ci felt extremely tired and drowsy, but it was too cold, as if the cold air from all directions had penetrated into his skin, chilling from his body, he couldn't fall asleep at all.
Yuwen Zhantian wanted to cover her with his tiger wool blanket, but he saw Murong Yu go over first and cover her with a black cloak, so he didn't go over.
why is it always late
Murong Ci opened his eyes, "Give me the cloak, what should you do?"
"I'm not cold." Murong Yu touched her forehead with tenderness, "Do you still feel cold?"
"It's not so cold anymore." She smiled, "Go to sleep too."
He lay down beside her, holding her little hand, "Go to sleep."
She smiled and closed her eyes in peace.
If it wasn't for so many people, he would definitely hold her in his arms and hug her to sleep.
Over there, Yuwen Zhantian looked at the starry sky and sighed sadly.
The night in the desert is cold and empty, the stars are low and extremely bright. There is no human voice, no fireworks, and the boundless desolation makes people feel frightened.
The ghost shadow sat blankly, always alert to the movements around him.
Suddenly, he heard a slight sound and turned his eyes around to find the source of the sound.
After searching around, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted in horror: "Your Highness, Your Highness, get up quickly, there is a snake!"
A long snake crawled quickly on the sandy ground, approaching Qin Ruo, and was about to bite her foot, so he immediately drew out his long sword and slashed fiercely.
A ray of silver light suddenly flashed across the desert night like an electric shock.
The snake had its head severed and was limp.
Qin Ruo was startled awake by his cry, saw the two snake bodies at her feet, her face paled with fright, and she stood up quickly.
At this time, everyone woke up with a start, and only after taking a look did they realize that there were several snakes attacking them.
Murong Yu was protecting Murong Ci, and two snakes besieged them, spitting snake letters, and the snakes stared at them.
"This is a desert viper. It has tentacles on its head. It is used to hunting for food at night. It is highly poisonous. Be careful, everyone, don't be bitten by a snake." Murong Yu reminded.
"Isn't it just a few snakes? What's there to be afraid of?" Yuwen Zhantian joked, pouring his inner strength into the sword, swiping it a few times, the snake that attacked him broke into several pieces.
The other snake eyes saw their companions die so horribly, they suddenly raised their snake heads high and attacked them fiercely, full of heroism.
Ghosting and Qin Ruo worked together to deal with the two snakes, Murong Yu squinted his eyes coldly, and slapped out with a sudden palm, the viper immediately flew into blood and flesh, and immediately the other viper was also smashed into pieces.
Murong Ci breathed a sigh of relief, seeing all these snakes suddenly made his scalp tingle.
Not long after, all the vipers were killed by them, and the sand was in a mess, with severed limbs and blood of the vipers everywhere.
They shifted positions and continued to sleep.
Murong Yu smiled softly, "It's okay, go to sleep."
Murong Ci nodded, lay down and fell asleep.
The night in the desert is still empty and desolate.
When they saw the towering and steep mountain peaks in the distance, they couldn't help cheering excitedly.
Qin Ruo and Gui Ying cheered and embraced excitedly.
Murong Yu and Murong Ci smiled at each other and held hands tightly.
Everyone was screaming and laughing with excitement, like a group of children who haven't grown up yet.
After that, they rushed forward with great enthusiasm.
Although it looked quite close, it was very far away. They walked for an hour before they got out of the desert.
There is a shallow pond on the edge of the desert. Seeing the water, they seem to see happiness waving to them and rushing away. Because there is no water in the water bag, they haven't drank a drop of water all day, and their bodies are extremely dehydrated.
"Don't drink the water that you can't drink!" Liu Yi yelled, and ran over to stop him in panic, "Don't drink the water"
"Why can't you drink?" Guiying stopped and asked.
"Anyway, I can't drink it," Liu Yi said angrily.
A subordinate couldn't bear the thirst of his body, and wanted to gulp down the water, but Liu Yi yelled sharply, "Drag him out quickly!"
Ghosting immediately went to grab the subordinate and reprimanded him: "I told you not to drink it, but I still drink it."
The subordinate wanted to cry but had no tears, with an innocent face, "I finally saw the water, why can't I drink this water? Is it not clean? I look pretty clean."
Liu Yi explained: "It's not a question of cleanliness. The water is too salty to drink."
Yuwen Zhantian continued: "You can't drink water that is too salty, just like you can't drink sea water. There is a reason. Bear with it first."
Murong Ci was surprised, "What will happen if you drink it?"
Murong Yu said: "At this time our bodies are in a state of extreme thirst, if we drink this very salty water, it will be harmful to our bodies at least, and even our lives will be killed."
Qin Ruo was stunned, "There is still this thing to pay attention to. Then we have no water, what should we do?"
Liu Yidao: "Going forward is Xuelong Mountain, there is water under the mountain, you can drink it."
Those subordinates had no choice but to resist the urge to drink water like crazy and move on.
Murong Ci originally thought that she could drink water, but she still couldn't. She was disappointed and her physical strength had been exhausted to the limit. The belief that supported her to walk out of the desert instantly collapsed. Her limbs became weak and she fell to the ground.
Murong Yu hugged her in shock, with pity and pain in his heart, he shouted hoarsely: "A Ci, A Ci"
Yuwen Zhantian was also anxious and worried, saying: "A Ci must be unable to hold on anymore. We have run out of water, so hurry forward to find water."
With Qin Ruo's help, Murong Yu picked up the speech and hurried to Xuelong Mountain.
Those subordinates took the first step and went to find water first.
After walking for another half a day, they arrived at the foot of Xuelong Mountain. Fortunately, those subordinates really found water, and picked some overripe fruits for everyone to eat.
Murong Ci drank the water, and after a while he finally regained consciousness.
Seeing the sun-like aurora flickering high in the sky, she squinted her eyes, feeling like a dream, not knowing where she was.
Is this a mirage? Why is the sky so bright
"A Ci, A Ci" Murong Yu called anxiously.
"Your Highness, Your Highness" Qin Ruo was very anxious.
Murong Ci rolled his eyes a few times, and turned to see a familiar face, it was Murong Yu.
Finally the soul returned to its place.
"Where is this?" she asked softly.
"We have arrived at Xuelong Mountain." Yuwen Zhantian said with a smile.
"Your Highness, we have walked out of the desert, and we are all right." Qin Ruo also smiled.
She stood up excitedly, and Murong Yu supported her, looking at the towering mountain not far away, suddenly her brows became sour, and tears filled her eyes.
Xuelong Mountain is great
That means they are one step closer to their goal.
He touched her hands and forehead, and asked worriedly, "Ah Ci, are you okay? You feel uncomfortable there?"
Murong Ci shook his head, "Fortunately, I just feel tired and my limbs are weak."
Yuwen Zhantian suggested: "Why don't we rest at the foot of the mountain for one night, and go up the mountain tomorrow after recovering our strength."
Everyone is in favor of taking a rest to start the journey better.
