who and the rivers and lakes

"It's boring here." Ding Yuehua straightened his neck and looked out the window, wishing that there would be some kind of fight in the street.

Everything in the small town was as usual, nothing happened, and all the people coming and going on the street looked so peaceful and docile.

"It's very boring." Bai Yutang sighed, and even missed the thrill of the choking wine rushing into his stomach when he drank that bad wine for the first time three days ago.In the past three days, he has been tired of drinking all the wine and eating all the dishes in this shop, and he is also tired of watching this Qiongta Town, which is always the same every day.

"Since it's so boring, why are you still here?" Ding Yuehua pouted and asked.

Although they had been together for three days, she still didn't dare to look Zhan Zhao in the eye.She had followed Bai Yutang to get to know this Nanxia. She had heard too many stories and rumors about this Nanxia. Afterwards, she followed secretly, but unexpectedly, she followed from Kaifeng Mansion to this remote desert town.After meeting Zhan Zhao himself, she found that she still didn't understand what kind of person he was.She felt that he was different from the people in the world she had seen, maybe it was because he had joined the officialdom, but she also felt that he was not like a person in the officialdom, so what kind of person is he?She sneaked a glance at Zhan Zhao, and suddenly felt that his bright eyes were not as calm as they appeared on the outside, but that there seemed to be hidden great passion and endless sorrow in his bright eyes, as if he was sympathizing with the misery of the world, but also as if Feeling helpless and painful for himself.

Bai Yutang sighed again, pointed at Zhan Zhao, and said, "Because the person he was waiting for hasn't arrived yet."

Another three days passed, and the person Zhan Zhao was waiting for hadn't appeared yet, even Wu San didn't bother to ask, but Zhan Zhao still waited patiently.

Ding Yuehua couldn't help imitating Bai Yutang's appearance, and sighed heavily, and continued to look at the street outside the window with his chin on his hands, thinking to himself: "Actually, this wandering in the rivers and lakes is not as interesting and exciting as it is in the legend."

She looked and looked, and suddenly discovered a very unusual thing.She saw that every household was seriously changing the silk scarves and clean water in the shrine in front of the door, and laying out new wine and fresh fruits.In this desert land, fresh fruit is even more precious than clear water. These residents are reluctant to eat it, but they don't hesitate to offer it to unknown gods and Buddhas.Looking at Liuhuai again, he has always been lazy in doing things, but now he also gets up early, and with a serious face, he puts new silk scarves and clean water on the shrine in front of the inn, and carefully cleans the yellow soil in front of the door.

Not only did Liuhuai become more diligent, even Wu San was rarely seen since early in the morning, and when he finally saw him, he stopped and asked, saying that he was busy cleaning the guest room, because there were going to be real distinguished guests coming.

Finally looking forward to something happening, Ding Yuehua immediately raised his spirits, ran in and out to inquire, sat back at the table panting, with a mysterious look on his face, and said, "What do you think is going to happen?"

Bai Yutang gave her a blank look, and said, "You've been busy for a long time, didn't you just go to inquire about this matter? You're still playing tricks, just tell me." He was also curious to know the truth, but he wanted to appear to be very personable, unwilling Go to inquire in person, just waiting for Ding Yuehua to tell the secret.

"I want to know, go find out by yourself." Ding Yuehua stared back without showing any weakness, and wanted to continue bickering with him, but looking at Zhan Zhao's calm face, he said obediently for some reason: "This town is going to have a holiday, It should be said that there is a sacrifice. I heard that the local people believe in a sect called the Moonlight Tribe. A big sacrifice will be held at this time of year. The high priest of the Moonlight Tribe personally came to preside over the practice. I will also come to treat diseases and save lives and help dredge water conservancy..." Ding Yuehua suddenly stopped talking.

Bai Yutang urged: "Why don't you say it? You know this?"

Ding Yuehua ignored him, but looked at Zhan Zhao and asked, "Brother Zhan, don't you find this strange at all? In the Central Plains, I have never heard of such a sect as the Moonlight Clan."

Bai Yutang also turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao, and said, "That's right, you've been sitting here, not talking, and pretending to know everything, don't tell me you already know everything?"

"It's not that I'm going to make a weird appearance. I came a few days earlier than you and have already inquired about it." Zhan Zhao said unhurriedly.In the first three days of his arrival, he visited the entire Qiongta Town, and he naturally noticed the strange shrine enshrined at the door of each house.

Ding Yuehua asked unconvinced: "Then what else do you know, apart from what I just said, I can't find any more information."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know much. It is said that every year at this time, there will be a sandstorm in the desert, which is the biggest sandstorm in a year. Qiongta Town and several small towns and villages nearby, Thanks to the help of the Moonlight Clan, it has been able to survive for so many years, perhaps it is for this reason that the residents respect the Moonlight Clan so much and regard them as gods."

The three of them stopped talking, and looked out the window silently, watching the residents busily offering elaborate sacrifices to the shrine.

The sky above was still clear and clear, and the flowers and plants on the ground were also lush, and there was no sign of impending disaster.The three of them are all from the Central Plains, and they have never seen a sandstorm with their own eyes, nor do they understand the horror of a sandstorm, but they all came to this small town after walking through the long yellow sand desert. Although it cannot be said that they have experienced life and death, they have I also know the ruthlessness and cruelty of the desert.They can understand that in such a harsh living environment, no matter who they are, if they can really resist the powerful force of nature, they will definitely gain people's respect and awe.

All the street gates in Qiongta Town have been cleaned up, and even the loess streets have been sprinkled with clean water. People gather on both sides of the street with pious faces and festive joy in their eyes.

At noon, as if suddenly rising from the ground, a group of people appeared at the end of the desert.They walked all the way across the desert, through the wide open town gate, and onto the street.The camels striding forward slowly, as solemnly as carrying gods and Buddhas.The knights on the camels are all black scarves and black robes, with golden ribbons around their heads, golden plate belts around their waists, and short knives with golden sheaths.Only the person at the front is dressed differently.This is a woman, riding sideways among the tall Luo Feng, wearing a snow-white dress, the skirt reaches the floor, long sleeves cover her hands, and a snow-white silk scarf on her head, but she reveals a beautiful face Face.The wind blows, blows the snow-white ribbon on her head, blows her ink-like long hair, and sets off her beautiful smile, just like a fairy who came to the mortal world from a mirage in the desert.The cheers and salutes of the residents were also directed towards this woman. It turned out that this was the High Priest of the Moonlight Clan whom they admired so much.

Zhan Zhao and the other three also came out and stood in front of the door of Wusan Inn to watch.Ding Yuehua was already stunned. He never expected that in this barren desert, there would be such a dignified family, especially the high priest. Even in the Central Plains, it was rare to see such a beautiful and elegant woman.

What Ding Yuehua saw was the appearance of a person, but what Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw was different.

Bai Yutang whispered in Zhan Zhao's ear, "The people of the Moonlight Clan all have good martial arts."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said softly, "That's right, that high priest's martial arts are very high."

Bai Yutang asked again: "Is this the person you are waiting for?"

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, but looked at everyone in the Moonlight Clan with deep eyes.

The group of the Moonlight Clan stopped in front of Wu San's inn, and the high priest got off the camel in a light manner, and walked up to him, his eyes turned, and he glanced at the waiting Wu San's face, and looked at Zhan Zhao and the others one by one. The three of them finally took one more look at Zhan Zhao, and then said to Wu San, "Shopkeeper Wu, are you all arranged?"

Wu San hurriedly said: "It's all arranged. It's still the old rule. The high priest, the patriarch and the two maids will stay in the little man's shop, and everyone else will rest in the residents' homes."

It turns out that this sandstorm is unpredictable. Although it can be estimated that it will happen at this time of year, no one knows the exact date. It may be today or tomorrow. The Moonlight Clan can only come here early to help the townspeople in advance Prepare all kinds of defenses and wait for the arrival of sandstorms.
