Lost Narrative Poetry

"Big cake, delicious big cake. If it doesn't taste good, you don't need to pay for it..."

Not far outside Chema Post, there was an uncle with a dark face, who seemed to have been worn by the wind and sand in the Western Regions. He was setting up a stall and selling the local characteristic greasy flatbread.

Speaking of which, all the customs of the Western Regions are very different from those of the Central Plains, not only the clothing, architecture, but also the food culture. The three of them already knew it yesterday, because basically what Chema Yili provides is hand-picked rice. Specialties like milk tea.

It was this difference that made them realize that this was indeed no longer the Central Plains. The Chenzhou City of yesterday was already thousands of miles away, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, a distance that most people would never be able to cross in their lifetime.

"Flat pie!"

After walking out of the horse-drawn carriage, Yuntianhe was immediately attracted by the scent, and immediately locked the direction of the source of the scent, confirming that it was the breakfast Han Lingsha had just mentioned, so he ran over without stopping.

Han Lingsha called a few times, but found that the other party turned a deaf ear, so she could only helplessly follow behind. She still clearly remembers the murder caused by a rice dumpling when she was in Taiping Village.

People cannot be judged in general terms. People like Yun Tianhe might get into a fight with the delivery boy if they really go to get a takeaway, and then turn into a murderous case. Han Lingsha naturally has a troublesome physique. It is impossible to safely let him move around alone.

Liu Mengli did not follow, but waited quietly not far in front of the carriage and horse post, watching the two people walk away. After all, it was just a matter of buying breakfast, and everyone did not need to go into battle together.

Although it was still morning, Boxian Town was already very lively.

After all, the previous name of this town was actually Qiemo County, and it had always been an important town on the Silk Road. However, it happened to be located at the foot of the Kunlun Peaks where the Qionghua Sect was located. It was protected by the Sword Immortal, so it was later renamed Boxian Town. .

However, changing the name will not affect the actual status, so there are many businessmen coming and going in the town. Many people from the Central Plains come to the Western Region to do business here, and Boxian Town is the most important transit station.

The business of Chemayi is naturally very good, and it has gradually become the largest building in the town. It is busy from sunrise to sunset every day.

Moreover, the number of horses next to the carriage and horse post every day is counted in dozens or hundreds. People have to be hired to take care of them, and they have to stay vigil at night... By analogy, it is like some of the horses in later generations. It feels like a big hotel and the parking lot outside is full every day.

The three of them were able to find a room yesterday only because horse thieves have been rampant recently and robbed many merchants. As a result, the recent business situation is not ideal.

So from an objective perspective, Liu Mengli's choice to stand in the open space in front of the door was not a very wise choice... However, the actual result was that it had no impact at all and did not cause any commotion or confusion at all.

He was obviously very beautiful, but he seemed to be ignored by the passers-by. There was no strong onlookers, and no one even stopped to stop and marvel.

It's not that the folk customs are simple, or that people in this era have such high vision that they don't even pay attention to a stunning beauty like Liu Mengli. It's just because she is also proficient in illusion and can easily mislead and confuse the attention of irrelevant people. .

——This is probably a common ability that all people who have lit up specializations and advanced routes such as dreams, illusions, and spirituality will use it, because it is really convenient and can save too many unnecessary troubles. .

However, it also depends on the concept, character and moral level of the person involved. Otherwise, it will also cause great harm. Therefore, Liu Mengli has always been very cautious. For example, before, she and Yuntianhe were blocked from taking the road from the Huainan Royal Tomb. In the end, the only thing we could do was erase the memories of those soldiers who had seen them——

Although she was very measured, she still felt that it was not good to do so, because she felt that memory was the most important thing for people, and it would be too cruel to take it away casually.

"I heard that a village in the desert had no water supply, and the entire village was almost buried in yellow sand. What a sin..."

"Thanks to God's blessing, we live at the foot of the fairy mountain."

"The wind and sand in the Western Regions are already heavy, and there is not much rain. Their village cut down all the trees and sold them for money. What can be done..."

"I've also heard that it seems that the entire Crescent River Valley has dried up, and all the people in the village who can run have fled, leaving only some old, weak, women and children who can't walk..."

A group of merchants tied their horses in the open space next to the carriage and horse post, and then unloaded all the goods. They walked into the carriage and horse post, discussing something, and just passed by the quiet girl.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, the girl pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xia, what kind of place is deep in the desert?"

When she was brought by Yu Jian, a group of people from the Qionghua sect, she had overlooked the entire Boxian Town and its surroundings from a high altitude. Naturally, she knew that the town was surrounded by an oasis, like a beautiful pearl on the desert sea.

After leaving the town and walking south, you can reach the real foot of Kunlun Fairy Mountain in less than a day's journey. There is a river flowing down from the mountain, giving birth to the entire oasis, running through the center of Boxian Town, winding through, bringing water. and vitality.

The pearl of the sand sea, lush and green, with abundant water and grass...

However, beyond the oasis, there is a vast sea. The vast Gobi Desert is endless and vast, as if the waves of the ocean have solidified, and the wrinkles are like solidified waves, extending into the distance.

There are still many cacti growing near the oasis, but the further you go outside, the more desolate and lifeless they become. It can be said that this is the first time Liu Mengli has seen the desert. She had only read about it in books before.

"Deep in the desert? Nature is still a desert, there is nothing else..."

The fluctuation of divine will was heard, and Xia Ran's voice sounded in the girl's consciousness, as calm and natural as if she was drinking tea and chatting.

Liu Mengli didn't care anyway, so what else did he have to be afraid of? Just treat it as chatting remotely through instant messaging software. As long as his mentality adjusted, there would be no problem at all.

"What about the other side of the desert?" The girl looked as usual.

"That's the end of the land, and beyond is the sea. The end of the sea is a bottomless abyss. Every moment, countless huge amounts of seawater pour down like waterfalls, but it can never fill up the bottom. It should It’s the end of the human world…”

Xia Ran can naturally answer it. This world is not a world view like the earth, but a round sky and a square place. The entire universe was created by Pangu, and the same is true for the human world.

Although there are nine states in the world and the Western Regions of the Central Plains, there are barbarian lands further out. Tianzhu does exist, perhaps because the influence of Buddhism has also penetrated into this world... But other countries and continents that can be found on modern maps, It really doesn’t exist anymore.

He was also curious to go to the ends of the earth, and the result was as expected. It seemed like the "end of the world" in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and there was indeed a real end to the human world.

He also tried going down the huge abyss at the end of the world, but the result was not surprising. He seemed to be rushed into the abyss by countless tons of seawater far exceeding the weight of the mountains, and then he found himself appearing. In the borderland of the ghost world.

——Pangu’s body disintegrated and turned into the earth. All living things cohabited on the sunny side of the earth. The dark side of the earth became the ghost world, which was the place where the reincarnation of all living beings...

Xia Ran confirmed the authenticity of this legend with personal experience, and it was the kind that could be verified from the physical level. Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Liu Mengli nodded slightly, thoughtfully, but said nothing more. Although what the merchants just said really touched her heart, it was limited to that. Her temperament was relatively cold and she would not waste a lot of time on irrelevant people.

She will also feel sympathy for the pity of others, and will help if she can...but only if she happens to meet him. If a disaster happens far away, she will not think that she must rush there. , save all people from water and fire.

"Good Mengli~"

The iconic shout rang out, and Han Lingsha finally came back. Behind her was Yuntianhe, who was happily eating the fragrant pancakes with a happy face.

For the wild man on the top of the mountain, it is probably the happiest moment of the day, and someone like him who is so easily satisfied can experience the happiest moments many times every day... In a sense, it is actually the happiest moment of the day. Envy.

"Long wait~ Mengli, do you want to eat now? You can choose which one you want..."

The girl in red came forward to please her and said enthusiastically. She wanted to apologize for her previous actions, or add an extra layer of insurance.

This is not mutual harm at all, because no matter what she says, it will only make Mengli embarrassed for a moment, but that person is not here at all, and Yun Tianhe can't understand these things at all.

But Liu Mengli's backhand strike accurately hit her critical point - because Yun Tianhe was here. Although he still couldn't figure it out, Han Lingsha always felt that she would be sure if this matter was told like this. He will die of shame and anger.

"No, thank you." Liu Qianjin smiled, but declined Han Lingsha's kindness.

The girl in red didn't think too much. She knew that this person's spiritual power was extremely powerful. In fact, he had no problem eating wind and drinking dew, and he didn't eat much at ordinary times.

"Then I'll keep it to make dry food and eat it slowly on the road. It could have been faster, but there is someone who is inexplicable and seems to be going to cause trouble..."

Han Lingsha gave Yuntianhe another cake, then wrapped the remaining dry food in cloth, and said angrily and funny -

"The boss said there was no charge for the bad ones, so he went to buy ten bad ones. Meng Li, you didn't see that. The boss was blowing his beard and glaring at that time. He probably didn't expect that there is such a person in the world..."

"Yeah?"

Miss Qianjin, who was dressed in blue and purple gauze, couldn't help laughing, but when she looked at the stall over there, she didn't see anyone messing around.
