Chapter 71 Feisha City

After walking through the rolling yellow sand, Zhao Jiuxiao and others followed the caravan and slowly arrived outside Feisha City.

This is a city in an oasis, but there is also a large desert nearby.

The reason why Feisha City got its name is because once a sandstorm hits, the whole city will be in a state of flying sand and rocks, and the sky is dark.

However, the city is very peaceful now.

Under the bright sunshine, people from the Quicksand Country wearing exotic costumes can be found everywhere, but there are very few people from the Central Plains.

Zhao Jiuxiao was walking on the streets of the city, and seeing the tall quicksand beauty in a long skirt and veil passing by, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The people around him had different expressions.

Gongsun Wuji was the happiest. He kept everything he saw in his heart as his discovery of exploring foreign lands.

In addition, Zhao Jiuxiao also saw a large number of Liusha soldiers in the city.

These people are all wearing armor, with beards of different lengths, orange headscarves, machetes hanging from their waists, and long-barreled muskets behind their backs. They are fully armed.

Most of the people in the city live a leisurely and fulfilling life.

They also farmed the land, but mostly used the oases for grazing cattle and sheep.

Unknowingly, Zhao Jiuxiao followed the merchants from the Quicksand Country to the front of a house.

The domes here are all oval, completely different from the tile houses in the Central Plains.

The old man also waved his hand to let everyone enter.

Not long after walking, Zhao Jiuxiao saw neatly arranged tables.

There are fruits and various foods unique to Liusha Country on the table.

Among them are mutton skewers and beef soup, wine.

A group of women from the Liusha Kingdom were busy organizing.

As soon as He Zhengyang saw the wine, his eyes lit up immediately, and he sat there, ready to have a drink at any time.

Gongsun Wuji saw a statue in the courtyard.

It was a scene of a brave man fighting a giant python with a scimitar in his hand.

Gongsun Wuji immediately asked: "Old man, what is the meaning of this statue?"

The old man replied: "This is a unique tradition of our Quicksand Country. All the bravest men can go to the Flame Desert with weapons to challenge the Flame Python. The winner will be respected by all the tribesmen."

Zhao Jiuxiao asked, "Where is the flame desert?"

The old man: "Thousands of miles outside Feisha City, there is a giant flaming python that will burn and devour humans. Ordinary people must not go there to die."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "I understand."

Ling Haichao suddenly frowned and clenched his fists.

He recalled his past.

More than ten years ago, Ling Haichao's life was in danger of the flame python, and it was the wizard Haklu who saved him at that time.

Now, Haklu lives in Gudan City, which is thousands of miles away from Feisha City.

And to get there, one must cross the flame desert.

Gongsun Wuji saw Ling Haichao's thoughts and asked, "Does Master Ling have something on his mind?"

Ling Haichao smiled bitterly and told all his thoughts.

The old man was surprised: "People from the Central Plains, if you want to go there, you must be prepared. Don't lose your life in vain."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "Thank you, old man, we will."

The old man smiled again: "Central Plains people, sit here and eat something first, we will treat you well."

Everyone nodded in agreement and sat down.

Soon, the banquet began.

The old man first said something in the Liusha Kingdom's unique language for the surrounding companions to listen.

This passage is about their experience in the desert.

Among them was the matter of Zhao Jiuxiao and others driving away the horse thieves.

After hearing these words, the people of Quicksand in the courtyard looked at everyone with approving eyes.

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded and ate the fruits and beef and mutton here.

People in Liusha country do not use chopsticks and eat with their hands.

Everyone also followed the customs of the country.

Especially He Zhengyang, he drank the wine glass by glass.

Xuanyuanfeng liked the special sweets made by the Quicksand Kingdom very much, and he ate a lot of them until his hands were covered with cream.

Only Luo Wenyuan is not used to it.

However, his elegant appearance still attracted the attention of the women around him.

These people looked at Luo Wenyuan curiously and whispered.

Luo Wenyuan just pretended not to see it, and deliberately looked away.

But at this moment, the old man said: "Central Plains people, you must be very tired after coming from afar, right? Why don't you stay here with us, we have enough houses for each of you to have a good rest."

Zhao Jiuxiao saw that the other party was so enthusiastic, so he didn't refuse: "Okay."

Everyone immediately stayed here.

But Zhao Jiuxiao was not idle. He left the courtyard and started wandering around.

Before leaving, the businessman gave him a small gift specially.

A box filled with carefully crafted gold leaves.

These things are the favorite things of merchants in Liusha Kingdom. They can be used for both trading and appreciation.

Gongsun Wuji and others also participated.

Night came quietly, and the whole Feisha City began to become lively.

In the square in the center of the city, some people began to play musical instruments and some began to dance.

The musical instruments used by the people of Quicksand include Kanon and Nei flute.

The shape of the Kanon is very similar to that of a harp, but the tune it plays is different from that of a harp.

Ney flute is a kind of flute, and the tone it blows is deep, deep and ethereal.

The combination of their tunes, coupled with the graceful dance of the beauties in the quicksand country, forms a special scene.

Luo Wenyuan was deeply attracted by it and sat there, staring intently.

Although Zhao Jiuxiao was also very interested, he was not as fascinated as Luo Wenyuan.

Gongsun Wuji smiled and jumped onto the roof to observe the sky.

However, for alien beauties, he also took a look at them from time to time.

After all, Gongsun Wuji is still a young man, and he will also love beautiful women.

He Zhengyang was so dizzy from drinking that he didn't care about any music.

The same is true for Ling Haichao, his mind is already on going to the flame desert.

Zhao Jiuxiao also asked: "Master Ling, shall we leave tomorrow?"

Ling Haichao nodded: "That's right. Having said that, after so many years, I still can't calm down when I see the flame python again."

Zhao Jiuxiao asked, "Why?"

Ling Haichao: "Because of hatred, even now, I still hate that monster."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "I see, then tomorrow is a good opportunity for revenge."

Ling Haichao: "I hope so."

His eyes could not help showing fear, and the shadow of the past was still in his heart.

At this moment, Sima You, who was silent for a long time, asked, "Master Ling, what's the weakness of this giant flame python?"

Ling Haichao shook his head: "It has no obvious weakness, only its abdomen is barely considered."

Sima You nodded: "I understand."

At this moment, the singing and dancing ended, and everyone returned to the merchant's house, had a good night's rest, and prepared to set off for the flame desert the next day.
