Chapter Seventy-Eight: Interlude

"Flatbread, fragrant flatbread, no money if it's not fragrant......"

Not far from the carriage and horse post, there was an uncle with a dark face, who seemed to have been polished by the wind and sand of the Western Regions, who was holding a stall selling greasy flatbread with local characteristics.

Speaking of which, all the customs of the Western Regions are very different from those of the Central Plains, not only the clothing, architecture, but also the food culture, the three of them already knew it yesterday, because the carriage and horse post basically provided special foods such as pilaf and milk tea.

It is precisely this difference that makes them deeply realize that this is indeed not the Central Plains, and yesterday's Chenzhou City is thousands of miles away, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, which is a distance that most people cannot cross in a lifetime.

"Flatbread!"

After walking out of the carriage and horse station, Yun Tianhe was immediately attracted by the fragrance, and immediately locked the direction of the source of the fragrance, and confirmed that it was the breakfast that Han Lingsha had just said, so he hurriedly ran over without stopping.

Han Lingsha screamed a few times, but found that the other party was deaf, and could only follow closely behind helplessly. When she was in Taiping Village before, she still remembers the bloody case caused by that zongzi clearly.

People can't be talked about at the same time, people like Yun Tianhe, if they really go to get a takeaway, they may fight with the takeaway brother, and then it will evolve into a bloody case, Han Lingsha naturally can't rest assured that he will be able to act alone.

Liu Mengli didn't follow, but waited quietly not far in front of the carriage and horse post, watching the backs of the two of them walk away, after all, it was just a matter of buying breakfast, and everyone didn't need to go into battle together.

Even though it was still morning, the town was already very lively.

After all, the previous name of this town was actually called Jimo County, and it has always been an important town on the Silk Road, but it happened to be located at the foot of the Kunlun Peaks where the Qionghua faction was located, and was protected by the Sword Immortals, so it was later renamed Boxian Town.

However, the change of name will not affect the actual status, so there are many merchants in the town, many Central Plains people come to the Western Regions to do business, and Boxian Town is the most important transit station.

Naturally, the business of the carriage and horse post was also very good, and gradually became the largest building in the town, and it was busy from sunrise to sunset every day.

And every day next to the carriage and horse station, the horses alone are calculated according to dozens or hundreds, and they have to be taken care of by someone, and they have to keep vigil at night...... By analogy, it's like some big hotels in later generations, where the parking lot outside is full every day.

The three of them were able to find a room to stay in yesterday, but it was only because the horse thieves have been rampant recently, robbing many merchants, resulting in the recent situation of the merchants is not very ideal.

So from an objective perspective, Liu Mengli's choice to stand in the open space in front of the door is not a wise choice...... However, the actual result was that it had no impact and did not cause any commotion and confusion at all.

It was obviously a good look, but it seemed to be ignored by the passers-by, and there was no strong onlooker, and no one even stopped and marveled.

It's not that the folk customs are simple, or that the people of this era have such a high vision, and they don't even pay attention to a stunning beauty like Liu Mengli, purely because she is also proficient in illusion, and it is very easy to mislead and confuse the attention of irrelevant people.

This is probably a common ability that all people who have lit up specializations and advanced routes such as dreams, illusions, and psychic spirits will use, because it is really convenient and can save too much unnecessary trouble.

However, it also depends on the concept and character of the person concerned and the moral level, otherwise, it will also cause great harm, so Liu Mengli has always been very cautious, such as before and Yun Tianhe were blocked from borrowing from the Huainan Tomb, and in the end, they could only use their hands to erase the memory that those soldiers had seen them

It's obviously very measured, but she still thinks it's not good to do this, because she thinks that memory is the most important thing for people, and the act of seizing it casually seems too cruel.

"I heard that there is a village on the other side of the desert that has cut off the water, and almost the entire village has been buried by yellow sand, what a sin......"

"Fortunately, with the blessing of the gods, we live at the foot of the Immortal Mountain."

"The wind and sand in the Western Regions are already heavy, and the rain is low, and their village has cut down all the trees and sold them for money, what can they ......do?"

"I've also heard that it seems that the whole Crescent River Valley has dried up, and all the people in the village have run away, leaving only some old and weak women and children who can't walk......"

A group of merchants tied their horses in the open space next to the carriage and horse post, and then unloaded all the goods, and walked into the carriage and horse post while discussing something, and just walked past the quiet girl.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, the girl groaned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Xia, what kind of place is deep in the desert?" ”

When she was brought by Qionghua's group of Edgeworth, she overlooked the entire Boxian Town and the surrounding situation from a distance from a high altitude, and naturally knew that this town was surrounded by an oasis, like a beautiful pearl on the desert sea.

Walking south from the town, it doesn't take a day to reach the real foot of Kunlun Xianshan, where a river flows down the mountain, giving birth to an entire oasis that runs through the center of Boxian Town, meandering through it, bringing water and life.

The pearl of the sand sea, lush and green, with abundant aquatic plants......

However, beyond the oasis, there is a vast sea, the vast Gobi Desert, endless, vast and misty, as if the waves of the ocean are frozen, and the wrinkles that rise are like solidified waves, extending into the distance.

There are still many cacti growing near the oasis, but the further you go outside, the more desolate and desolate it becomes. It can be said that Liu Mengli has seen the desert for the first time, and she has only read about it in books before.

"Deep in the desert? Naturally, it's still a desert, and there's nothing else......"

The fluctuation of divine consciousness came out, and Xia Ran's voice sounded in the girl's consciousness, calm and natural, as if she was chatting while drinking tea.

Anyway, Liu Mengli doesn't care, so what else is he afraid of, just think that he is chatting remotely through instant messaging software, as long as his mentality is adjusted, there is no problem at all.

"And what about the other side of the desert?" The girl looked as usual.

"That is the end of the land and the earth, and the sea is even outside, and the end of the sea is a bottomless abyss, and there are countless huge amounts of sea water pouring down like a waterfall every moment, but it can never fill the bottom, it should be the end of the human world......"

Xia Ran can naturally be answered, this world is not a worldview like the earth, but a round world, the entire universe was born from Pangu, and the human world is the same.

Although there are Kyushu in the world and the Western Regions of the Central Plains, but further out is the land of barbarians, Tianzhu exists, perhaps because the influence of Buddhism has also penetrated into this world...... But the other continents that can be found on modern maps really don't exist.

He was also curious to see the ends of the earth, and the result was as expected, as if it was the "end of the world" in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and there was indeed a real end in the human world.

He also tried to descend the great abyss at the end of the world, but the result was not surprising, as if he was washed into the abyss by countless tons of sea water far heavier than the mountains, and then he found himself on the edge of the ghost world.

Pangu's body disintegrated and turned into the earth, and all creatures lived together on the yang side of the earth, and the ghost world became a ghost world after the yin side of the earth, where the reincarnation of creatures of all races turned around......

Xia Ran confirmed the authenticity of this legend with his own experience, and it was the kind that could be observed and confirmed from the physical level, but unfortunately it was useless.

Liu Mengli nodded lightly, thoughtfully, but didn't say anything more. Although what the merchants said just now did touch her heart, but it was limited to that, her temperament was relatively cold, and she would not bother because of irrelevant people.

She will also feel compassion for the pity of others, and she will help if she can...... But the premise is that they happen to meet each other, and if there is some disaster in a far away place, she will not also think that she must rush over and save the people from fire and water.

"Good Dream Glass~"

The iconic shout sounded, and Han Lingsha finally returned, followed by Yun Tianhe, who was feasting on puff and puff he, eating fragrant flatbread with a happy face.

For the mountaintop savage, it is probably the happiest time of the day, and a person like him who is easily satisfied can feel the happiest moment many times a day...... In a sense, it's really enviable.

"I've been waiting for a long time~ Mengli, do you want to eat it now? Pick which one you want......"

The girl in red came forward flatteringly and said enthusiastically. She wanted to make amends for her previous actions, or add an extra layer of insurance.

This is not hurting each other at all, because whatever she says is good, at most, it just makes Mengli embarrassed for a while, but that person is not here at all, and Yun Tianhe can't understand these things at all.

But Liu Mengli's backhand hit her death hole accurately, because Yun Tianhe was here, although he still didn't understand, but Han Lingsha always felt that if this matter was said like this, he would definitely die of shame.

"No thanks." Liu Qianjin smiled, but declined Han Lingsha's kindness.

The girl in red didn't think too much about it, she knew that this person's spiritual power was extremely powerful, in fact, she had no problem eating and drinking, and she didn't usually eat much.

"Then I'll leave it as dry food, leave it on the road and eat it slowly, it could have been faster, but there is a person who is inexplicable, it seems to be a ...... who is going to smash the field"

Han Lingsha gave Yun Tianhe another cake, and then wrapped the rest of the dry food in cloth, and said angrily and funny

"The boss said that he didn't want money if it wasn't fragrant, so he went to buy ten non-fragrant ones, Mengli, didn't you see it, the boss blew his beard and stared at the expression, probably because he didn't expect that there would be such a person in this world......"

"Really?"

The young lady in the blue and purple gauze dress couldn't help laughing, but when she looked at the stall over there, she didn't see anyone messing around.
