Cross Situ Jing

? Situ Jing doesn't know where the courage came from to allow her to cross the desert in this era when there is no GPS.

Maybe it's the illusion that I can go to the desert for a while without flowers and nothing to do

However, a large part of the silk road on the way overlaps, and it is still different from the boundless yellow sand and dry poplar in the imagination. The faint and clear sound of camel bells keeps coming in an endless stream.

Riding on a beige camel that is taller than a horse, the camel is gentle and cute, not too bumpy; and according to the guide, the cub can carry hundreds of catties, which is easy for a single girl.

In this case, the journey does feel a bit like a tourist experience, but this is in the desert.Situ Jing, who was covered with a white veiled hat and a sand-proof silk scarf, got a little drunk from the sun and high temperature.

She finally stopped complaining about Yin Ji's uniform quality; the disciples of Shenshui Palace often go out in the desert when they have something to do, and the white color is refreshing and does not absorb heat.Moreover, a slight wave of true energy can blow away the dust all over the body.And as long as it is a girl with fair skin and a figure, wearing white is especially temperamental, suitable for showing momentum.

To entertain himself, he made complaints about himself, stretched out a hand with a white gauze glove, took the kettle from the other gauze-covered hand, and drank it all in one gulp. The lukewarm water was somewhat warm, but always Quench your thirst.In all fairness, her traveling conditions were considered good in ancient times, although she somewhat coveted the set of wooden chairs with sun visors tied to the camels by the caravan next door who looked like the boss.sun visor...

But it looks like it has no temperament and momentum, okay?

Situ Jing reluctantly looked away, but the high-nosed, deep-eyed caravan with a mixed population of yellow races did not sneak a glance.After all, seeing a group of beautiful girls in white clothes and silver ribbons in the desert is not only eye-catching, but also worry-free.

This is obviously based in the nearby Shenshui Palace...Yasha, all of them are stunning (in terms of their aesthetics), but their force value is brutal, and some parts of the predecessors who were inconspicuous and provocative in the early years have never been found. .Hiss, it hurts just thinking about it.

But they soon discovered that they had been on the way.The city-state in front of me had an accident before, and the one who took over it...

Situ Jing was also very moved when she saw the low white stone fence appearing in the wind and sand. Although, isn't it a little too low, which is very different from what she imagined? What about the blue brick city wall that can only be easily browsed by good qinggong masters?There are only a few sentinels above.

It seems a little abstract and shabby.

Situ Jing calculated how big it was in her heart... Then, it's worth not mentioning it.

Situ Jing, who was traveling far for the first time in this era, relied on a hat to block her, and turned her eyes here and there with special interest.

Then she saw a familiar figure appearing in the shadow of the city gate. Seeing it against this background, she felt a little strange.It seemed that the messenger had indeed arrived early.

For a moment, I really wanted to fly over with a light kungfu...and escape into the shadows to enjoy the cool →_→.

But she also represents Shenshui Palace now.Reserved.

Then she finally turned on her toes at the gate of the city very reservedly, and rushed over with her head round.

She tilted her head and giggled, "Do you miss me?"

Wu Hua, who was choked by the dusty fan hat curtain... especially took a few steps back if she didn't show face; Situ Jing couldn't fall to her death either.

Situ Jing's eyes suddenly sharpened.

I'm really not touched at all!

"I'll make iced dessert for you." Wu Hua said calmly.

Situ Jing, who was about to explode, paused for a moment, calmly and tenderly touched his clean collar with his dusty paws, pretended to reason, and said in a sweet and sweet voice, "I knew my husband treated me best."

Wuhua lowered her eyes to look at his collar where no gray marks could be seen.

Onlookers: ...unknown.

Shenshui Palace and his party followed into the city, and the caravan behind followed them with exchanged glances, but they were stopped because business travelers had to pay tolls, oh no, customs duties.

Even in a small town the size of a palm, there are not many buyers.But there is water, supplies, and accommodation, and business travel also has life pursuits.

Therefore, no matter whether it is unreliable or relatively reliable, the rumors fly out like that.

……

The city is full of green trees and fragrant grasses, which is quite eye-catching. Obviously, this city relies on an oasis.The street is still bustling, not shabby, and most of the houses are low white stone substrates; she looked around, and the people around her also looked here curiously.

From the public's point of view, it looks pretty good overall, if you ignore the overall area and just slap your palm.Probably, because this livable oasis is the size of a palm.

"Although this place is small, most business travelers in the past couldn't get around it."

Hearing Wu Hua's voice, Situ Jing groaned.But the heart is frantically unscientific!Even if she doesn't know how to manage expressions, isn't she wearing a gauze hat now!

Wu Hua: ...Situ Jing has the ability to convey body language by shaking her head.

Really every few steps, the eyes suddenly open up.Turning around a corner with thick shady red flowers, a Miyagi with a completely different scale and painting style suddenly appeared in front of you.Although it is also a white stone wall, it seems that the stone is much smoother and more solid. There are three tall round arched stone gates in a row. People, their clothes look cleaner and more complicated than those on the street.

As soon as I walked in, my whole body lit up, and the Lingling waves came into my eyes, spinning on the stone walls on both sides, and there were relief carvings on the stone slabs under my feet, and the blossoming stone lotus moved forward one by one, and the two sides were hollowed out into stone grooves for water injection, and the stone bottom: look It looks like a real multicolored gem...

really play.

Situ Jing hopelessly wants to change to pebbles.

"They're all of poor quality and can't be sold at a good price, or scraps used by jewelers." Wuhua saw her gaze and explained, "It's been stored for a long time."

But apparently this architectural style reminded Situ Jing of... the foreign palaces she had seen a long time ago.Those are famous ones, this one is of course much smaller, and the details are indeed no less luxurious.Walking through the swaying hall similar to the front hall, in front of her eyes is a larger palace with two supporting pillars... As far as she can see, it is fully inlaid with precious stones, and the pillars are densely wrapped in complicated patterns.

Um, don't say it, it's pretty good-looking.

The floor is a gorgeous carpet with simple patterns, winding the entire large hall.But at the moment it looks particularly empty and cold, because there is no matching utensil.

"This was originally a place for the king to have a banquet. I kept it for them." Wuhua raised her eyebrows, "Now I also put it away for them. It's not interesting to display it." Situ Jing lifted the hat curtain and veil at this point , looking up, the dome is the tallest she has seen in this era. It has two floors. Although it is not a mural, it is indeed a similar geometric pattern at the splicing of materials of different colors, which is exquisite and laborious.

"I kind of understand why you said that although Guozuo has been around for 200 years, it is still not popular." Comparing the living standards seen outside, it is really a cross-generational level of architecture and enjoyment.

Wu Hua shook her head: "This palace has a history of a hundred years, but the people's grievances have been boiling for more than ten years." Seeing Situ Jing looking over, he led her into a white stone corridor, "The kingdoms of the Western Regions, the royal courts are probably like this, It’s really nothing. This lake is rare.”

Through the carved and hollowed-out wooden barrier with a somewhat middle-earth color, in front of you is a pool of blue and blue water that is so clear and charming. The water is surrounded by a circle of horizontal plank roads and exotic wooden pavilions, and the water is full of flowers. , according to the kind of stone fence planned neatly, but now a little wilted, it seems that it has not been well cared for.

But what surprised her even more was that there were obviously a few common people fetching water here.She froze for a moment, and they also froze when they saw it.

"There is only one source of water in this city. But before the king here believed that a concubine he favored put this into the royal court." People can be poor, but how can they have no water?" a bucket of water."

In the dry land of the desert, a bucket of water is a drop in the bucket for a family.

Those few people didn't care anymore, seeing them talking to themselves, they gritted their teeth and continued to pretend.

"Are you opening it up for them to come in and use it?"

"In fact, the king may not be completely stupid. Controlling the water source may not be a good way to control the people." Wuhua said lightly, "But with him in front, as long as there is enough, less is a favor, and more is easy to cause resentment. Let every household Everyone comes in every day to take whatever they want, and each person can bring a water container, but only once a day."

"But this is not the way, is it?" Situ Jing always felt weird.

"Indeed. I really have a complete grasp of this place, so I am naturally willing to row out again. But now, it is not clear which one is missing from the people who come to fetch water every day?"

Well, he's not stupid.

"How to draw it out?" Looking at this place, at least it is ingenious, it is very exquisite and has a taste of Western luxury, and it is indeed enjoyable to think of enjoying the coolness by the water.It's not that I'm reluctant to dismantle it, but it does feel a little pity to dismantle it.

"It's just a small section. And it's too crafty, so it's not a pity."

After hearing the words, Situ Jing looked at the neat and colorful water pavilions in the gorgeous geometric palace garden, and deeply felt that Wuhua was not as inclusive as her aesthetic taste.

Ok.

"Do you like to keep it?" Wuhua raised her eyebrows sideways.

Situ Jing regained consciousness and shook her head, said with a smile: "You said that you won't occupy the palace. Besides, I was full and stayed in the desert."

"However, I have an idea for no reason." Situ Jing, who had a flash of inspiration in her mind, was about to speak, but suddenly remembered the performance of Wuhua at the gate of the city, snorted and stopped, and asked, "Where's my dessert? "?
