C1719 Dream Come True
The Yelya girl is famous for her sea mirage.
And because of her existence, the Taklimakan Desert had become a place that all the tourists around the world yearned for the most.
Whether it was because Taklimakan made Jerya or if Jerya had given the desert the elegant title of 'Tourism Desert' was no longer important, what was important was that there was too much charisma here to attract more tourists.
If the legend of a mere 'Yelya girl' couldn't be completely taken seriously by the world, then those Black Snake in the Guisha area would always have some black specters that appeared at night. That was the most important part in the charm of the Taklimakan desert.
Beautiful women, Black Snake s that could be removed from a person's stomach, black ghosts that appeared only in the dark, and towering black cities, mighty ancient soldiers, and large azure lakes — these things were like an electromagnet, firmly attracting people from all walks of life, including tomb robbers.
Legend has it that the Divine Lamp God, who is very famous in the world of tomb robbers (Divine Lamp God, the king of tomb robbers, just by hearing this nickname, one can tell how awesome he is. It is said that Divine Lamp Gods can satisfy the wishes of three people)
Legend has it that the Lamp God, after hearing the legend of the Jelya girl, arrived at the edge of the Guisha area late at night. Using his noble family's most professional 'Dragon Searching Point' divine skill, through the changes in the stars in the sky, as well as the surrounding sand dune's shape, he determined that under this Guisha that brimmed with the aura of death, there was a city that was over a hundred meters deep.
That was the other world he was talking about.
In that world, there were towering cities, black mountains, clear lakes, people of the Han Dynasty, palaces worshipped by the citizens of the underground world, and a forest with a shrine in it …
It was a world that no one in the world could imagine.
In that world, there was no sign of modern civilization at all. People were all born from the sun, and the sun was setting. There was no war, no hunger, only the monotony of hundreds of years.
That was a completely different world, and it was also the paradise in people's hearts.
When it came to the heads of the local tourism departments, their brains were quite sharp. After hearing the legends spread out by the Lamp God, they immediately created a mini version of the 'Third World', completely raising the tourism level of the Taklimakan Desert to an unsustainable level.
Of course, many people thought that the so-called legend of the Lantern God was only advertised by the locals to stimulate the tourism industry. Perhaps there really was a Black Snake in the Guisha region, or maybe there was a black ghost, but there would never be a third world.
However, Shieh Hongyan knew very well that the legend was not a legend, but a real existence.
The existence of black King Snake, the existence of Spiritual Lizard's messenger, the existence of Yelya's girl, the black city, and so on — everything that the local tourism department promoted, including the mysterious lamp god, existed.
However, other than those who had been to the underground Lou Lan, no one else believed him.
Gao Fei had been to the underground Lou Lan, Chen Guoguo, Tieh Tu, and Ye Xinshang. They were the only ones who had survived the journey to the underground Lou Lan.
Qin Chengcheng also went.
However, even in death, she would not come out.
Because that place was her ideal destination.
Shieh Hongyan also really wanted to go, especially when she was captured by Shen Yinbing and wanted to sacrifice her as a sacrifice for the marriage ceremony. Shieh Hongyan really wanted to go, especially when she was kidnapped by Shen Yinbing and wanted to sacrifice her as a sacrifice for the marriage ceremony.
However, Shieh Hongyan knew better. A dream was a dream, not a reality, so after having that strange dream where she told an old man in her dreams that she couldn't see him clearly about her greatest wish, she fell back into the real world of uncertainty and fear, waiting for the end of her life.
Shieh Hongyan was sure that Shen Yinbing said that if Gao Fei didn't attend the wedding, he would blow her up like a balloon. He definitely wasn't trying to scare her.
That woman did indeed have such a malicious heart, and what she did was to hope that Gao Fei would arrive in time (Shieh Hongyan was not afraid of death, otherwise she wouldn't have sneaked away from the Faang Family Village, but she really didn't want to die that way), or else she could be sent to the underground Lou Lan by that mysterious old man just like in her dreams.
Late at night before Shen Yinbing's wedding, Shieh Hongyan was dreaming again.
She dreamed that the mysterious old man (who she had only heard but not seen) had come again and asked her the same question again: "Where do you want to go most?"
"Underground Lou Lan!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shieh Hongyan told him what she desired the most.
"Why did you go there?"
"Because that place doesn't have a vicious woman like Shen Yinbing, nor a terrifying organization like 1973. There is only an indescribable ease there, that's what Gao Fei said!"
"Alright, then I'll send you to the underground lake."
The mysterious old man continued, "But before you go, you must be fully prepared."
"What are the preparations?"
Shieh Hongyan asked.
The mysterious old man replied, "After you've gone somewhere, you will never have the chance to come out again. You will have to live a life of boredom that is far from modern civilization. There's no television, no computer, no disco, dance bar cocktail, or nuclear submarine. There's only darkness, and the world has returned to its most primitive and natural state.
Before Shieh Hongyan could reply, the mysterious old man said, "More importantly, the man you care about the most may only go once a year. You can imagine what it would be like to be alone in an empty room. So, you'd better think about it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Shieh Hongyan resolutely answered, "I am willing!"
"Alright then."
The mysterious old man was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Ah, child, you should get a good night's sleep. When you opened your eyes and woke up from your dream, you were already in the Taklimakan Desert. "
Shieh Hongyan didn't know why, but after hearing the mysterious old man sigh, she felt like crying all of a sudden. She wanted to jump into his arms and cry all of a sudden.
Because she had a very strong illusion that this mysterious old man should be her … father!
Wasn't it her father who first thought of her daughter when she was feeling wronged and frightened?
But Shieh Hongyan was rational, because she knew that her father, a businessman, had died many years ago. He could no longer stand up for her in times of great difficulty, like all the fathers who cared for their daughters.
However, Shieh Hongyan saw this mysterious old man, who only appeared in her dreams and could not be seen clearly, as her father. As tears streamed down her face, she fell into a deep sleep.
In her dreams, Shieh Hongyan only hoped that she would never wake up, otherwise she wouldn't have to face the cruel reality.
However, as long as a person didn't die, who could sleep in a dream for a long time and not wake up?
When she was unable to sleep anymore, she could only wake up. Just like Shieh Hongyan, she woke up when the morning breeze gently blew against her face.
Even before she opened her eyes, she knew that she had returned to the real world helplessly.
No matter how beautiful everything in the dream was, it still existed in the dream. As long as one opened their eyes, everything would disappear.
So even when she woke up, Shieh Hongyan didn't want to open her eyes until she heard the melodious ringing of a camel's bell: Ding Ding Ding Ding... Ding Ding...
"Why would there be a bell? And I'm still bumpy? "
Instinctively, Shieh Hongyan opened her eyes and saw a boundless desert.
After that, she was stunned.
When she woke up, it was a little after six in the morning. It was a late autumn morning, and the sun was still slouching in the sky, and it was only in the distant eastern sky that she could weave a multicolored blanket of morning light.
The camel was like a slowly rising and falling wave. Under the accompaniment of the melodious camel bells, it moved forward rhythmically.
The camel's head was raised high, and the reins were tied to the saddle of a camel in front of it.
In the front, the camel was bigger. A person wrapped in a black robe was facing away from Shieh Hongyan, his slightly sad voice was shattered by the Camel's sound.
Dawn, cool wind, desert, camels, people in black robes, the melodious ringing of camel bells, the mournful tunes of the Western Regions — the reality of these things, like a rocket, possessed all of her mental nerves with unimaginable speed the moment she opened her eyes.
Shieh Hongyan was stunned for a long time. When the morning sun slowly rose from the east, she asked with a hoarse voice, "Where … where is this?"
When she asked this question, she realized that she was also wearing a black robe, like a nun. The hat and scarf that covered her face had already fallen under her chin, allowing the sand in the morning breeze to strike her jade-white cheeks easily.0
"This is the Taklimakan Desert."
The person sitting on the camel in front of him seemed to have long promised Shieh Hongyan that he would ask this question without even turning his head back to look at her.
"Taklimakan Desert? Why am I here? "
Shieh Hongyan turned around in a daze, looking at the desert of the same color, murmuring, "Am … am I still dreaming?"
"No, you're not dreaming. This is reality."
the man on the camel said, turning to look at her.
It should be a man. His face was also covered by a black scarf, and there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. However, his eyes were very bright. It was obvious that he was a shrewd person.
Shieh Hongyan secretly pinched her leg.
It hurts.
This meant that she was not dreaming, but in reality: this was a desert, whether it was the Taklimakan or not, this was a genuine desert.
Staring dumbfoundedly at the man who had turned around. After a long while, Shieh Hongyan asked again, "I, why am I here?"
"Because you've told people before that the place you crave to go the most right now is the underground Lou Lan."
The man shook the camel's reins, accelerated a little, and said, "So now you're here. We'll be there in a few hours."
"Because I've told someone before that the place I desire to go the most is underground, right?"
Shieh Hongyan's eyes widened in disbelief as she mumbled, "B-but … when I said those words, wasn't I dreaming?"
"Dreams sometimes come true, don't they?"
The man seemed to chuckle, then stopped talking and began to sing a sad little tune.
Dreams sometimes became reality.
