Xia Qingxin kept walking towards the west. The further she walked, the colder the weather became. She had already put on a thick cotton coat but was still not too warm.
"Fellow, how long will it take for us to reach Yarkand?" She breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped her clothes tightly. The weather was getting colder and colder. It was indeed the northwest, the wind was like blowing from Siberia.
It's like blowing people off, and I wish I could blow them into dried meat.
The driver of the donkey cart was a middle-aged man. He was very honest and honest at first glance. What he was pulling in the cart was rice, flour, grain and oil that he had exchanged for at a distant market. He happened to meet Xia Qingxin and took him with him.
Procedure.
"Girl, I don't think you are from our side. You look like a Central Plains person. You are thin-skinned and tender-skinned, unlike us who are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Why do you think of coming to a place like this? You are suffering."
There was nothing to do along the way, so the middle-aged uncle started to chat with Xia Qingxin. He saw that Xia Qingxin was a rich young lady, why did she come to their wild land.
"Because I have something very important to do, and I must do it!" Xia Qingxin said it very softly, as if she would be blown away by the strong wind when she opened her mouth, but her tone was very firm, and the middle-aged uncle looked at it
At first glance, I didn't understand what he meant, but seeing the girl's determination, she started to laugh.
"Girl, seeing how determined you are, I believe you will be able to accomplish this! Come on, have a drink of wine to warm yourself up first."
The uncle saw Gadar Ming. He often drove on the road with a donkey cart. The weather here was bad and he usually carried this shochu with him. He could take a few sips when he was thirsty or cold. He saw that Xia Qingxin's lips were about to burst. He felt a little uncomfortable.
He reluctantly handed the wine bag to her.
Xia Qingxin was not picky and happily took the wine bag and drank a few gulps from the bottle. Instantly, a warm current flowed down her chest.
"What a strong drink!" This is the first time I have experienced such a life. I did come to this northwest prairie with my friends in my previous life, but the jeeps, drinks, and food were all good. Nothing like this, but when I talk about my previous life, it seems like
It was a long time ago.
"The weather here is too cold and the wind is strong, so we all drink wine like this. If it is paired with roasted leg of lamb, it will be so beautiful." Gadar said with a particularly yearning expression on his face when he thought of the roasted leg of lamb.
Xia Qingxin suddenly remembered that they had a bonfire party here. Many people gathered around the fire to eat meat and drink. It was very lively. She was almost happy after traveling for so many days.
"Uncle Gadar, do you often hold bonfire parties?"
"No, but in a few days we will have the biggest bonfire party of the year. Girl, you can stay with us for a few more days to have some fun. You have to prepare a lot of things if you want to go to Kunlun."
Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, is the first sacred mountain in China, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, Kunlun Qiu or Jade Mountain. Ancient mythology believes that there is a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, with a human head and a leopard body, and is served by two blue birds. It is the orthodox Taoist
God, and the Duke of the East took charge of the matter of men and women cultivating immortals and becoming immortals.
This is the introduction to Kunlun Mountain that Xia Qingxin can search in her mind. Originally, Kunlun was just a myth and legend in the minds of modern people. She didn't expect that the door to heaven is actually on the mountain.
Uncle Gadar is already used to this kind of thing. Kunlun Mountain is originally a sacred mountain for them. There are a few people who want to practice Taoism and become immortals every year, but they can't stand it in the end. Some people directly
The one who froze to death up there had never heard of anyone becoming an immortal. Xia Qingxin pretended not to know if she didn't say anything about Po Gadar.
"Okay, I really should go see it when it's so lively." Xia Qingxin readily agreed. She had done her homework before that. She knew that she might never be able to come down again after going up, so she wanted to experience this.
Liveliness is still necessary.
She needs to prepare well down there. This is a plateau area, and the air is getting thinner and thinner. If she goes up to the Kunlun Mountains, she may be even more hypoxic. She needs to think about how to solve this problem, otherwise she may not be able to bear it as soon as she goes up.
The donkey cart was still moving forward slowly, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Xia Qingxin could hardly open her eyes. She wrapped her eyes with the gauze scarf on her head and lay on the donkey cart, deep in thought. Suddenly
He fell asleep instantly.
"Qingqing, I miss you so much." Nalan Lingyu, wearing a white dress and flying in the wind like Xia Qingxin, hugged her hard in his arms.
This person should not be called Nalan Lingyu now. Nalan Lingyu's body has long since dissipated, and now it is the Shangshen Qingli from the Shangqing realm.
"A-Ling, are you really here to see me? How are you doing? Where should I go to see you?" When her fingertips touched Qingli's cheek, her whole body was trembling.
"I'm..." Qingli's body began to retreat the moment it was touched by Xia Qingxin, and the speed became faster and faster. Xia Qingxin ran and tried to grab the corner of his clothes in vain.
"A-Ling, what are you talking about? Where should I go to find you? Please speak louder!"
What answered her was endless silence and her own echo. At this moment, Xia Qingxin squatted on the ground and broke down crying. Just when she was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, she was woken up by someone.
"Girl! Miss Xia, wake up, we are already here." She opened her eyes and realized that it was just a dream, but the feeling was so real.
Looking at Xia Qingxin who was still in a daze after waking up, Gadar called her again and said, "What are you thinking about, girl? But she has altitude sickness and feels uncomfortable?"
"Uh, no, I just woke up a little uncomfortable. It's okay." Xia Qingxin shook her head and said perfunctorily to Gadar. It turned out that the feeling of being out of breath just now was actually a lack of oxygen. She could just take a rest.
"There is an inn in front, which is considered the best inn in town. Girls can stay there. If you tell me your name, the inn will treat you well."
Gadar is quite warm-hearted, and when he saw such a little girl alone outside, he wanted to protect her, so he was naturally much more enthusiastic than usual.
"Okay, thank you, uncle. We'll see you again by chance."
Although the small town of Yarkand is not too big, it can be considered prosperous in this vast Gobi desert. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and there are many vendors who rest here, giving it a unique exotic style.
She suddenly became interested and wanted to go shopping. She was very happy when she saw the surrounding vendors selling their own goods and the constant shouts.
At this time, a man across the street noticed Xia Qingxin. He was also from the Central Plains. He looked like a handsome young man in his clothes. He was handsome, but he did things that were looked down upon by others.
He opened the folding fan in his hand and walked over to Xia Qingxin. Xia Qingxin was buying a unique bracelet in front of a vendor. The man took the bracelet from the vendor as if he was familiar with it.
"Girl, you are really discerning. There is a story behind this bracelet. Do you want to hear it?" He tried to attract Xia Qingxin's attention with a look that he thought was handsome, but to his surprise, he got no response.
"Boss, bring me another one of the same style." Xia Qingxin took out the silver and handed it to the vendor. She put on another style of bracelet and left.
What I hated the most in my previous life and this life was this kind of self-righteous person who thought he was extremely handsome and troubled. If I had seen him in my previous life, I would have beaten him once, but now we are not in a society governed by the rule of law, so it is really not safe to be alone.
"Girl, please wait for me. I see that you are also from the Central Plains. Coincidentally, so am I. Why don't we get to know each other?"
This man persevered and chased after her again. He felt that Xia Qingxin must be in trouble if she was alone. Judging from the quality this time, he might be able to sell it for a good price.
"Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Xia Qingxin saw that the person standing in front of her was extremely annoying, so she impatiently pushed him aside.
After this person was pushed away, he felt a little embarrassed when everyone started to point at the two of them. He glanced at her and left.
He stood in the alley and looked at Xia Qingxin, who walked into Tongfu Inn, with a wicked smile on her lips, "It's still a little pepper with a choking taste. It's okay. It seems that the price can be raised again."
At this time, Xia Qingxin didn't know that she had been targeted. She was still thinking about how to go to Kunlun Mountain to be safer. Finding Nalan Lingyu was her lifelong pursuit.
Some people spend their whole lives chasing each other, and fate likes to play tricks on two people who are in love. In this game of chasing each other, the lives of both people are exhausted, and their whole lives become regrets.
"Shopkeeper, I was introduced here by Uncle Gadar. Please give me a room in the upper room to prepare a bucket of bath water, and then send some food to my room. Thank you."
Xia Qingxin looked at the shopkeeper, who was also a gentle person. Her sweet smile melted the shopkeeper's heart. She had seen so many girls coming and going, but she had never seen someone with such a pure smile.
"Hey, since it was Gadar who introduced you girl, just feel free to live in Tianzi No. 1 room. If you need anything, just call the waiter."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia Qingxin went to Room No. 1. After so many days of traveling, her body had already begun to protest. It was time to take a good bath and sleep. It only takes a few days to rest.
Went to Kunlun Mountain.
The man looked at the signboard of Tongfu Inn and thought about the plan for a long time. It seemed that she was a young girl from a wealthy family. It seemed that this time he could not only sell her but also get something else from her.
After Xia Qingxin took a shower, she lay on the bed and took out the water droplet Nalan Lingyu gave him before she was alive and rubbed it carefully. After being shot to pieces by an arrow, the water droplet recovered automatically the moment Nalan Lingyu disappeared.
As it was, it seemed that even God couldn't stand it and left her a thought.
"A Ling, if you heard what I said, can you give me a hint? I have now reached the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but I heard that Kunlun is covered with snow all year round and normal people cannot go up. How should I find it?
And you?"
Xia Qingxin fell asleep while holding the water drop and looking at it. The water drop emitted a faint light in the palm of her hand, as if answering Xia Qingxin's words.
It's a pity that he was already asleep and didn't see that what he was thinking about had responded to her. (To be continued)
