Under the boundless desert, it is unknown whether it is underground or in an oasis in the deeper desert. The rumored Loulan exists here, but the previous desert is only one of the opened entry nodes.
What a famous name Loulan is. The name that is often heard in rumors has been widely circulated in this land of the Western Regions hundreds of thousands of years ago, but no one has been able to find the slightest trace of it. There is always a feeling that this is just a myth and does not exist in reality.
But at this moment, Loulan's existence was truly verified. The sky is blue, the mountains are green, the air is fresh, and there is no trace of deserted sand at all, just like a paradise.
Although it is not as harmonious and plain as Tao Yuanming wrote, it is not inferior, it is more vast and has a deep sense of history.
The endless blue sky and white clouds, the mountains are winding and undulating, interlaced with each other, like a giant dragon lying prone on the ground, firmly guarding Loulan in the center.
Vertical and horizontal orderly, towering buildings stacked one after another, simple and natural, most of them are built with huge stones, extraordinarily rough, combined with the vast and heavy history but has a different kind of beauty, like a still oil painting , leaning towards the Western style, this may have been originally the unique Loulan scene formed because of the roughness of the ancient times and the mixed Western style in the Western Regions.
The most eye-catching thing in the ancient city of Loulan is the majestic tall white building standing on top of a spiral lake in the center, with a domed top like a castle, and in front of it is this tall and beautiful building. A lifelike stone statue of the Goddess.
The stone statue is facing the wide and flat square in front of it, as well as the fountain. Behind the stone statue is facing the luxurious hall of the stone castle, where the highest priest in Loulan lives, and it is also part of the temple of the goddess. There are no other managers or soldiers in Loulan. Most of them are guarded by the temple and the high priest manages everything.
At this time, Loulan looks picturesque, and it doesn't look like it is on the verge of extinction, but in fact it is strong outside but weak in the middle. For Loulan in the depths of the desert, the most important thing is that the water source of their only source of survival is gradually drying up. Among them, after the passage of these years, the water source that was still able to persist has begun to collapse. Once there is no water source, no matter how beautiful things are, they will disappear.
And the root of all this is because of the loss of the Dragon Soul many years ago. The Dragon Soul was originally the treasure of Loulan's country and their lifeblood. It is the loss of the dragon soul!
This is not only a big event, but also a deep blow to the people of Loulan, because the dragon soul represents their hope and life, but just like this, their life was taken out of its hometown and disappeared into the outside world !
Most of Loulan's continued existence is due to the existence of the Dragon Soul. Although they have an oasis to last for a period of time, this is only a stopgap measure. The water source of the oasis is not endless, and it will dry up sooner or later.
However, the Dragon Soul is different. As a descendant of the dragon, he has the ability to call wind and rain, let alone a mere water source?
Even if it can't be as large-scale as Shenlong, it can still be used as a perpetual motion machine, constantly pumping water to nourish Loulan, making it always full of vitality.
It is also for this reason that Loulan keeps sending envoys to search for the dragon soul in a steady stream, one batch after another, without stopping. audio.
Until now, at this increasingly critical moment, when the water source is about to dry up, the dragon soul has returned to Loulan again, and they have new hope.
Although the return process of the dragon soul was not what they thought, it was brought back by the dragon soul envoys sent out, but it was a little girl, a descendant of the Chiyou clan who stole the dragon soul back then, and they were not alone , and the figures of these many people from the Central Plains, which also made their original good mood because of the return of the dragon soul, a bit miserable.
Not only because the people brought back were from the Chiyou clan, but also because the appearance of the people from the Central Plains also indicated that Loulan's position was exposed. No one knows whether there are only a few people in the Central Plains, so they naturally don't have a good attitude towards these people. On the contrary, he was indifferent and even vaguely very wary and hostile.
In the heavily guarded hall of the Temple of the Goddess, a huge cage specially made by Loulan stood impressively, and beside it was a girl tied to a metal column.
Outside, there are heavy footsteps and heavy guards.
"Damn it! These guys are treating us like this! It's been two full days! Thanks to us running around for them like this, even Xiao Li was treated so cruelly. You must know that we traveled all night for them. Only then did the shortcut bring back the Dragon Soul!
But they are lucky, and they will repay their kindness with revenge! Imprison us all here! It's abominable! snort! I wanted to tell them that the Qin army was about to arrive, but now it seems that they won't listen to us! oops! so annoying! "
Tianming was sitting down in the cage with his head down, complaining impatiently. Next to him, Ge Nie sat cross-legged with empty hands, adjusting his breath and calming down.
Shaoyu is also a little impatient, but he is also experienced in many battles, so naturally he does not only have this little patience, but he can still calm his mind.
"Stop talking! You've said it countless times! They can't hear you! But what should we do in this situation? The Qin army is probably about to arrive, and they said that we will be sacrificed tomorrow, and Call the Dragon Soul Return Prayer. Time waits for no one! Hey! It¡¯s really worrying!¡±
Shaoyu frowned. He didn't know if their delay would affect their original actions. He was not only worried about them, but also worried about other anti-Qin forces who also entered Loulan but disappeared. There is also his uncle and the soldiers of Chu State, which made him anxious.
"Don't worry, calm down! Although we are in this situation, we have not reached the most dangerous moment. Don't worry at dawn, we will be fine! Don't forget that there are Xiaozhuang and the others, we still have a chance!"
Gai Nie opened his eyes and glanced at Shaoyu. He knew the other party's thoughts very well. It was definitely not just as he said, his eyes flashed. He also understood the other party's thoughts. After all, it was not only him, but also himself. Dispersed with the quicksand crowd.
After being shrouded by that magical light before, they were separated because of the vortex. Only Tianming and his party were beside them, so they would meet together. When they woke up, they were already in the Loulan Temple, and there was no chance to inquire about it. , but he believed that if Wei Zhuang knew the situation at this time, he would find a way to help.
As for Xiao Li, he was a little puzzled and curious. He didn't understand what the real identity of this girl was, why she wanted to bring back the Dragon Soul at all costs just to hate her Lou Lan, and the strange and powerful aura she helped them enter Lou Lan. Strength, all these are showing that the other party is mysterious and unique, and it is definitely not as simple as she shows.
Ge Nie secretly sighed in his heart, no matter what, she didn't have any malice towards her and her party, this is enough!
After listening to Gai Nie's words, Tianming also nodded very obediently. He also thought of that cold man, and couldn't help but shudder. He knew that the other party was very powerful, not inferior to his uncle.
Shao Yu also gradually calmed down, he didn't know if Gai Nie had noticed anything, he always felt that the other party's calm and calm appearance seemed to see through everything, as if everything was under control, and his eyes always seemed strange. Therefore, his best response at this time is to remain silent.
"By the way, uncle, why didn't you do anything before? You might be able to rescue Xiao Li with a single action!" Tianming recalled that when he entered the hall before, Gai Nie waited to die, and he didn't react and let the other party trap them here.
"We are here to save Loulan, not to fight against them. Once we take action, the consequences will be even worse. Our original good intentions will turn into hostility. It will be more difficult to complete the task at that time. Don't forget our purpose!" Gai Nie said softly. After finishing speaking, regardless of Tianming's puzzled appearance, he continued to close his eyes to rest his mind, very calm and calm.
For a moment, the empty and deserted hall returned to calm again, only the breeze blowing and the spun yarn fluttering. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
