C821 White Camel
When these young people came to visit Loulan Ruins, the staff of the travel agency had repeatedly reminded them not to enter after seeing the somewhat black sand sea, because that was the famous Guisha of the Taklimakan Desert.
In order to attract everyone's attention, the travel agent specially mentioned a few examples. For example, during the autumnal equinox last year, there were a few grave robbers who mistakenly entered Guisha, but none of them came back alive.
Also, a few travelers had accidentally entered the Guisha a month ago and were bitten by some strange monsters living in the Guisha. They should be large lizards or something similar.
Although the staff member of the travel agency was very responsible, he repeatedly instructed these young people and said that there was a high possibility that there were some biological Spiritual Lizard in the Guisha that could not be explained by modern science: a large lizard that turned into a human after death.
But these young people not only did not care, they were even more interested in Guisha.
Since they were young, they had lived within the Dadu City and received higher education. From the start, they had never believed in anything like Spiritual Lizard, even if the travel agencies did not say it was fine, but the more they said it, the more they wished to find that kind of Spiritual Lizard.
It was just like the monster in the Heaven Lake Sect of the Changbai Mountains. The more amazing the legend was, the more interested people would be in it and they would always wish to see it with their own eyes.
Therefore, when Old Halle warned everyone to not enter Guisha, the youths all laughed heartily. There were even people who started whipping their camels, running towards Guisha.
Old Halle's expression changed. Just as he was about to shout at these youngsters who don't know the limits of the world, he suddenly heard an urgent camel's bell ringing from below the sand dune.
Old Halle's more than 20 camels were all wearing camel bells. The camel bells were made of brass, and their voices were crisp and pleasant. When they rang in the empty desert, it was like a desolate Silk Road song.
However, when the camel's bell rang, the sound of Old Halle and the other camels' bells was as unpleasant as the sound of shovels scraping against each other on the road.
It was just like heavenly music that came from beyond the clouds. Every sound of it was able to cleanse a person's soul.
Old Halle and the rest subconsciously looked towards the sand dune.
This sand dune was about tens of meters tall and had a slope that was hundreds of meters long. When Old Halle and the others drove the camels to climb this big sand dune, it took them more than 20 minutes.
According to Old Halle's experience, although that unusually clear camel's bell sound is not far away, it should be at least a hundred meters away from the sand dune. It should appear in Old Halle's line of sight after seven to eight minutes.
However, what he didn't expect was that the moment he turned his head to look, he saw a snow-white camel with a tall stature suddenly flying up from the bottom of the sand dune. It followed the edge of the high sand dune and sped northwest.
"One Peak White Camel!"
Old Halle's facial expression changed drastically. He jumped down from the camel and lay prostrate on the ground, praying for something.
Although white camels were rare, they were not rare. Currently, there were over a thousand white Alashan Twin Peak Camels that were famous throughout the world.
However, those camels were artificially bred. They were two-humped camels.
Legend has it that Great Khan, King of Western Xia and the others all possessed White Camel, and treated White Camel as a precious treasure (Mascot).
The Single Peak White Camel was the king of the desert. Legend has it that it was sent by Hu Da, and it was known as the most magical fairy in the desert. Only when those lucky people that didn't deserve death were trapped in the desert, would these Single Peak White Camel appear.
Old Halle, who was almost seventy years old, had only seen a Single Peak White Camel once in his life. It was sixty years ago today, and Old Halle was able to see this type of desert elf once again.
The appearance of the Single Peak White Camel immediately made Old Halle worship it. However, what those young people paid attention to was not the camel itself, but the people on top of the camel.
On top of that humongous White Camel, there were two people sitting there. One was a man, and the other was … It should be a woman.
The reason why he wasn't sure if it was a woman was because she had long, smooth, pale golden hair that fluttered in the wind. She was wearing a black robe and had a hideous bronze mask on her face.
But no matter how big the step of the White Camel was, or how fast its speed was, she was as steady as if she was glued to the back of a hunchback.
When the youths saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment. Then, someone let out a weird "Wahaha" sound and chased after the camel.
With someone taking the lead, this group of energetic youths shouted in unison. They all urged their camels to chase after them. As they chased, they even shouted out "Beauty in front, wait a moment!"
These energetic young people had long been tired of the uniform way of playing in Dadu City. Seeing someone riding a white camel towards Guisha like that, they completely forgot about the warning from the travel agent, Old Halle and the others: Since others can go there, why can't we?
The White Camel only appeared for a very short time, but in the blink of an eye, it had already run for a few hundred meters along the edge of the high sand dune, leaving those young people far behind.
Old Halle didn't give chase. He just kneeled there and kept raising his hands, kowtowing slowly while muttering something. His old face kept twitching as if he was praying that Hu Da wouldn't blame those ignorant young people.
The camels could run very fast in the desert, but they were very stable, unlike the bumpy ride of people on horseback. That was why the young people could confidently and boldly drive their camels to chase after the White Camel.
Very quickly, the white single-humped camel stepped into the darker Guisha area. Its footsteps continuously rushed forward, stepping on a willow branch and climbing towards an even taller sand dune.
"Yohoho!"
The young man who chased after them stood up from the camel in excitement, waving his whip high in the air, imagining himself as one of those brave herdsmen riding a horse.
"Moo!"
Just as the young man was shouting and shouting, and the camel was trying to catch up with the White Camel, the camel suddenly let out a strange cry, as if it had hit an invisible wall.
"Aiyo, what the f * * k!"
Caught off guard, the young man who was pedalling on the camel suddenly leaped forward and fell off the camel with a plop, smashing heavily into the sand.
Fortunately, the sand below was very thick, and it didn't hurt much to fall off the camel. The young man immediately got up, and under the laughter of his companions behind him, he confidently climbed back onto the camel and brandished his whip: "Hanger, hoist!"
After making a fool of himself in front of his companions, the young man did not think about why the camel had stopped. He only wanted to drive it forward and catch up with the White Camel that had climbed up the sand dune.
However, no matter how much he beat the camel, instead of continuing to move forward, it continued to retreat.
The young man was embarrassed by the camel's lack of cooperation as he scolded and yelled at the same time.
At this moment, more than twenty camels ran over.
What made the youngsters even more curious was that after arriving at this place, all the camels stopped running and refused to run any further.
Fortunately, when everyone saw the first young man fall off the camel, they all slowed down and grabbed the saddle. No one fell again.
"Eh, why isn't the camel running forward anymore? Gimme, gimme!"
Someone yelled out in confusion, knocking his feet against the camel's belly.
However, all the camels were as if they had been possessed by an evil spirit. They all raised their mouths and moaned, turning in circles or backing off. They did not take another step forward, as if there was some ferocious beast in front of them.
The blood-red sun in the west was slowly being obscured by the large sand dune. The reddish-gold sunlight swept over the sand dune and scattered across the desert. A slight cool breeze blew out, bringing with it a slight chill that caused the sharp-eyed young man to suddenly notice that a few meters in front of the camel, the sand had already turned slightly black.
Guisha!
Suddenly, something flashed through this person's mind like lightning and he could not help but roar: "Ah, Guisha up ahead!"
"Guisha?"
The young people who were berating and even cursing the camels were stunned for a moment, then understood: "The travel agency people said that the camels never dared to enter the Guisha area, so it's actually true!"
"Look, what is that old guide doing there?"
"The travel agent said that the camel did not dare to enter the Guisha, so how did the White Camel dare to enter?"
"I know!"
A cheerful girl suddenly shouted, "I've seen it online. In the desert, the Single Peak White Camel is the spirit sent by Hu Da. It can be unafraid of any dangers in the desert. That peak White Camel earlier, is it from One Peak? "
Someone immediately said, "That's right, it was Solitary Peak. At that time, I was wondering why those two people sat so steadily on the camels."
"Who are those two people?" Why would that woman wear such a terrifying mask and ride a White Camel into the Guisha region that none of us camels dare to enter? "2
Some people began to pay attention to the legends in the desert, and their faces became solemn.
A timid girl suggested, "Let's go back and ask the old guide."
Although no one believed in Guisha and no one believed that the Single Peak White Camel was a desert elf, since there were so many camels on their side who didn't dare to move forward, the fact that the woman was wearing a hideous mask finally allowed them to understand one thing: the legend was not baseless.
The youngsters hesitated for a moment, and then when the sun slowly set under the sand dune, they all turned around and walked towards Old Halle.
Old Halle had already stood up, his right hand was clutching his heart as he muttered something.
The young man jumped off the camel and asked rudely: "Hey, Old Halle, have you seen that Single Peak White Camel before?"
"I have."
Old Halle opened his eyes and slowly said, "I saw him sixty years ago. In the legends of the older generation, the Single Peak White Camel would only appear once in sixty years and only White Camel could enter and exit the Guisha freely, so they are not afraid of Evil Qi. "
If everyone had not encountered the strange event of having all the camels stop in front of Guisha, they would definitely have scoffed at Old Halle's words, saying that his brain was playing a joke on the spread of superstition.
But now, no one objected. The girl who cared the most asked timidly: "Old Halle, where is that masked woman? Who is she?"
Old Halle looked at the pitch black Guisha region and muttered, "That's the Asura King."
"Asura King?"
Someone finally couldn't help but sneer. The most timid girl suddenly pointed to the west sky and shouted, "Look, what's that?!"
