A celebrity once said that all artists will have an inner world that is larger than reality. Otherwise, where would the inspiration for creation come from?
But such a huge inner world is often empty, so it is said that geniuses are lonely.
What such people lack most is a confidant.
A confidant like Boya Ziqi.
Chen Xing didn't have it before, but it has since the system came. Ever since he saw those ethnic minorities dancing in southern Yunnan, almost every beautiful scene that shocked him, the system would echo a few words that fit the situation.
The sentences are also beautiful.
Follow the call of beauty, understand, admire, protect and retain.
This sentence not only represents the place of Mogao Grottoes, but also encompasses all the disappearing cultures of China. People like Chen Xing may not be able to protect and retain them, but through their own understanding and admiration, they can share this feeling with
For other people, then he did not get this system in vain.
I always feel that the travel notes I want to write this time are more substantial...
[Congratulations on getting the special talent: Son of the Desert]
[Son of the Desert: Your body will not consume more than 10% of the normal value because you are in the desert. At the same time, when you are in the desert, your skin's ultraviolet defense is strengthened. Please experience more functions by yourself] p>
When Chen Xing saw this message, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were not hot at all. A few minutes ago, he felt a little thirsty and his cheeks were a little dry, but now he doesn't feel anything strange at all.
He subconsciously touched his face.
The fingers glide across the face, and the feeling is similar to the feeling in Jiangnan before.
This talent...
It's really good, but it doesn't seem to be very useful.
He now has three special talents. The first is the enhancement of charm. Chen Xing himself does not feel deeply about this, because no matter how much he is enhanced, he himself will not change at all, and he will not learn anything.
The second is the charm of the ancient town, which will make his thinking more agile when he is in an ancient town with a history of more than 500 years than in other places... In the future, when writing books, travel notes, etc., it is best to search the surrounding ancient towns first. This son of the desert is the third special talent.
Judging from the introduction alone, the consumption reduction is quite large, but Chen Xing has enhanced endurance. After walking for a day, he cannot be said to be as exhausted as ordinary people, so the significance is not very great. The second effect makes the skin less tired.
Affected by drought and ultraviolet rays...
"Tsk, system, you are probably a good-looking guy." Chen Xing said.
The system is not responding. It is probably the default setting.
……………………
After leaving Mogao Grottoes, you will pass another famous Dunhuang attraction on the way.
Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring.
This is just a small scenic spot, so Chen Xing’s plan today is to go to Mogao Grottoes first, stop by Crescent Moon Spring when he returns to Dunhuang, stay one night in Dunhuang, and go directly to Yanjing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. p>
Don’t worry about other scenic spots around. Don’t you want to go there again later?
It’s not too late to go then.
Chen Xing has known about Crescent Moon Spring for a long time.
The scenery here was mentioned in the textbook when I was in elementary school. The main reason is that the name Crescent Moon Spring is so beautiful that it left a deep impression on me, otherwise Chen Xing would not still remember it now.
I don’t know if it is still included in current textbooks.
He can't remember exactly which class he learned it in and how it was described.
But it’s just right, you can see it with your own eyes.
The ticket price is 55, which is the cheapest ticket among the attractions that Chen Xing has visited recently. The previous tickets were always 150 and 200 upwards.
There are sightseeing buses inside the attractions, but you can also choose to walk there without taking the bus.
Many people who came in the same group as Chen Xing chose to take the bus because they heard it was still a long way from here to Crescent Moon Spring. They were almost suffering from heat stroke while waiting in line, and they still had the energy to walk to Crescent Moon Spring. In addition, some walked, and a small number chose a more unique means of transportation with a desert atmosphere - riding camels.
Chen Xing didn't decide whether to walk or ride a camel, but he liked animals better, so he approached a camel to watch it eat, and carefully touched its hump - he was curious whether it was hard or not.
Soft.
A man who was feeding fruit to the camel with a bucket shouted loudly: "Hey! Be careful!"
He said it towards Chen Xing, about seven or eight camels away.
"Okay!" Chen Xing responded.
When I touch it, it’s not too hard or soft, but a little elastic...
Luotuo seemed to give Chen Xing a roll of his eyes, which made him laugh.
"Just touch it, don't be so stingy, you can take me to Crescent Moon Spring later." Chen Xing patted his first hump and said.
These camels have two humps. Chen Xing heard that some camels only have one hump. He was a little curious about how to sit on it?
Chen Xing's actions finally attracted the old man who was feeding the camel fruit. He walked over and said, "Huh? It's really strange. This camel usually has a very bad temper. Why is it so quiet today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the camel made a sound that was very similar to that of a cow, but very high-pitched and deep.
"Hey, are you still happy?" The old man said with a straight face.
The camel barked twice more, and even Chen Xing could see his unconvinced look.
Maybe he doesn't understand what people are saying, but just like some people are born with a keen sense of other people's emotions, some of these animals must be smarter and know whether the humans they are talking to are praising or scolding. Chen Xing found it very interesting and asked: "Boss, how much does a ride cost?"
Hearing that someone was riding a camel, the old man didn't bother to teach this guy a lesson. He turned around and said to Chen Xing: "One hundred yuan, let's take a walk around here, and then we will send you to the Crescent Moon Spring. Can you take a seat? Boss
?"
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded.
He has many camels. Before everyone gathered, Chen Xing was waiting here.
However, this period of time is the peak tourist season in Dunhuang, so there are many people, and soon the camel caravan will be full.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Sitting on a camel is easier than riding a horse, because the camel will kneel down, and a person can sit on the saddle in the middle of the hump with a slight step. The horse will not kneel down, and you have to use your waist strength to get up, otherwise you will have to hold the horse's neck to get up.
So ugly.
However, Chen Xing still thinks that riding a horse is better, and the horse is more handsome, while the camel is a little inferior.
Perhaps because he sensed that Chen Xing said he was ugly, the camel barked loudly again, more quietly. Chen Xing patted his hump and said:
"No barking!"
Sure enough, I shut my mouth.
After waiting for a while, the old man shouted: "Sit tight!"
The camels stood up one by one, feeling a little unsteady, but this is all an illusion. As long as you sit properly on the saddle and don't move around, there is a 100% chance that you won't fall off, but it's just a little bit so.
A momentary feeling of weightlessness.
There was a girl shouting behind Chen Xing, and her voice was heart-wrenching.
Everyone was laughing, and Chen Xing also smiled.
But as soon as the camel bell rang, the laughter stopped.
The team started to leave this crowded area.
The leaders of the camel caravans must all be locals, and they can't get lost. Those who walk and take sightseeing buses can only follow the fixed route... Of course ordinary people can also leave that road, as long as they are not afraid of getting lost.<
/p>
Dunhuang gave Chen Xing the feeling of being a big oasis in the desert. Walking out of Dunhuang, it felt like a desert, or a desert. Many martial arts movies and TV dramas like to shoot scenes in such a place. And Crescent Moon Spring is also another small oasis in this desert.
.
No one can see this oasis yet. Now that they have left the main road, the camel caravan seems to have truly entered the desert.
The noise around them disappeared, only the private chats of acquaintances in the camel team, the jingling of camel bells, and then the unavoidable wind in the desert, carrying sand and soil flying past their feet.
.
Chen Xing gradually felt goosebumps forming on his skin.
It feels like traveling back in time!
From time to time, there would be roars in the team, and then people in the team would laugh, but then someone else would shout again.
"It's so cool!" someone shouted.
"Ahhhhhhhhh! Hahahahaha"
The old man walking in front holding the rope was not surprised and didn't even look back.
He has seen this kind of scene many times.
Although this is not the case in every team, as long as someone takes the lead, one or two others behind will start shouting.
Chen Xing also shouted in line with the crowd.
The voice was a little low, but a girl behind Chen Xing heard it. She shouted loudly: "The handsome guy in front of you, didn't you eat? I'll treat you to dinner later, just shout louder."
Her friend was right behind her, smiling and shouting: "I heard all your plans in Black Dragon J."
She turned back and shouted: "Please don't expose some things, okay?"
Someone shouted again, and the camel team now stood out from the two sides of the strait. The monkeys couldn't hold back their cries. Fortunately, these camels were relatively safe and could only keep their heads forward without wondering what the humans on their backs were doing.
Chen Xing also yelled to vent his little pressure...
There is no pressure on him now, and he is just happy to accompany them to vent their anger.
"Beauty, where are you having dinner tonight?" Chen Xing turned around and asked.
"Haha, let's see when the time comes." She moved her sunglasses down with her right hand and winked at Chen Xing.
This girl is quite good-looking, she looks to be in her mid-twenties, with fair skin and pretty fingers.
Chen Xing straightened his back and shook his neck.
It would indeed be a bit uncomfortable for a taller person to ride a shorter mount. Now he missed the big horse at Nima Zandui's house very much. It was tall and handsome, even more handsome than the horse at Uncle Feida's house. It would be nice if you brought a drone with you, or the camel team could stop for a while and let yourself go farther away to take pictures.
But Chen Xing is afraid that this will be too troublesome.
Just forget it, you can never run out of good photos, and you will encounter something new and worth taking every day.
Take it easy.
The old man holding the horse at the front would also tell stories to the two camel guys in front. Chen Xing was a little regretful that he didn't come earlier and sit in the front.
He also wants to hear stories.
Chen Xing suspected that these locals had similar talents to the Desert Sons, or maybe they were already used to it.
Tourists ride camels, he walks.
Some tourists were sweating profusely and wiped them with paper towels countless times, but this old man seemed to be at ease.
Chen Xing could vaguely hear him speaking, even his tone did not change.
By the way, these camels have already gone away countless times. If the old man in the lead wants to be lazy, he can sit on the first camel and let the camels go by themselves, but this will save one tourist's money.
After sitting there for what felt like a long time, they finally saw Crescent Moon Spring.
The people and tourists in the camel caravan were yelling.
If they didn't have the kind of relaxing roar before, maybe they would be more restrained now, but since they are letting their instincts fly in front of them, why bother to suppress themselves when they can see the Crescent Moon Spring?
They should be on a hillside full of sand, quite high. From their point of view, the Crescent Moon Spring below is just a small pond.
There is a green space around the pond and several loft-like buildings.
The Crescent Moon Spring is exactly like its name. It is as curved as a crescent moon. It is reflecting the sun's rays and is very eye-catching.
The old man said: "If you want to take pictures, you can take pictures here. This is a good location."
The Crescent Moon Spring seems to be surrounded by several huge sand slopes, like a toy-like building, so exquisite that it is completely different from the world they live in.
But those tourists who are as big as sesame seeds are telling them loudly - this is reality!
Take photos.
Everyone had nearly half an hour to shoot here. The old man watched them. If someone walked away, he would ask his grandson to chase the person back, or keep an eye on them, because no one was watching in this place.
You really can get lost.
And if someone falls from here, they may not be seriously injured, but they will definitely be hurt enough.
Chen Xing looked around and saw a good seat. In the same seat was a forty-year-old man holding a Nikon. This man was very thin, about 1.7 meters tall and weighed about a hundred pounds. He was wearing casual pants and a
Blue clothes, a bit elegant.
He took a few pictures and saw Chen Xing taking pictures next to him, so he took a glance.
"Are you using...Hasselblad?"
"Well, brother has good eyesight!"
"Is it still the latest one? Is it X2D?"
"Brother is an expert!"
This camera is now available for pre-order, so Chen Xing also admitted boldly, but the pre-order is a pre-order, and there are still few people who can actually get it. The first ones to get it are the old Hasselblad fans.
These true fans are equivalent to Hasselblad members, and their names are backed up by Hasselblad.
He looked at it with envy.
As long as you are into photography, who doesn’t like Hasselblad?
But at their age, they really don’t have the spare money to buy such expensive luxuries.
If you are younger, you can ignore everything. If you are older and already have a pension, you can ignore everything as long as you are happy. But in your forties, there are older people and younger people, alas.
While he and Chen Xing were chatting, he suddenly sighed and felt very wrong.
Chen Xing frowned in confusion and stopped talking.
