C332 The Ghost City after the Storm



C332 The Ghost City after the Storm

If it was in the mainland, a famous historical monument like Loulan Ruins would have long been surrounded by walls, with a table placed at the entrance to sell tickets.    

    

However, this ruin was located deep in the desolate desert, and anyone who visited it would have to put their life at risk. Thus, other than the rich and poor who had nothing to do here, and some observers, the little Citizen s almost never came here.    

    

There was no need to come here and listen to Hu Da's teachings. This place was very desolate, and with the weather station predicting a storm in this area, it was normal for there to be no Shadow in sight.    

    

The Loulan Ruins was extremely famous and it looked grand and grand from a distance. In fact, when he got closer, he discovered that it was actually just some incomplete ruins. There were a few broken stone ruins and a stone tablet that was erected in front of the Heaven Palace.    

    

However, although this place was a wasteland, the ruins that stood tall were enough to withstand the storm that was the night before.    

    

Just when Gao Fei and co. arrived in front of the stone monument erected in the Heaven's Mansion, the messenger wind arrived.    

    

Before the storm last night, the wind carried a thin layer of yellow sand.    

    

However, this time, the sand was somewhat blackish yellow, and the air also had a moist taste. It seemed that not only was there a storm, but there was also the possibility of a torrential rain.    

    

Old Halle was no longer around. Tieh Tu was the backbone of the four of them in the desert. He arranged for everyone to tie the camels to a pile of stones on the ground and then went into the entrance of the ruins.    

    

On the other side of the door, the sky could still be seen. It was just a heavily eroded stone wall, and the sky could still be seen outside and inside the door. However, the inside of the door could block the storm that had always been in the northwest, and there was also a protruding stone board on top of it that could effectively block the wind and rain.    

    

Ye Xinshang took out a few military raincoats from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.    

    

As soon as Gao Fei helped Qin Chengcheng put on her raincoat, raindrops started falling from the sky.    

    

Rain, heavy rain, extremely heavy rain, violent winds mixed with heavy rain, mercilessly smashing wherever they wanted to hit!    

    

Gao Fei and the other three were curled up in a corner of the broken wall. Because there was a stone board on top of it, they weren't worried about being drenched by the rain.    

    

The rain was very heavy. Even in the dense lakes of Jiangnan, it was not certain that it would rain as heavily.    

    

Who knew what was going on with the heavens today? How could they bear to leave such a heavy rain in this desert that viewed water as more precious than gold today?    

    

In the world outside the broken wall, the raging wind blew the soybean-sized raindrops to pieces, turning them into a vast expanse of white mist. Its power was extremely frightening.    

    

However, due to the rain, the sand and dust had been soaked by the rain, so they couldn't be hidden from the storm last night.    

    

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.    

    

The wind blew stronger and stronger, as if the entire world was enveloped in a violent storm.    

    

If a storm of this scale was to be placed in the mainland, it would be quite dangerous. It would cause the city's drainage system to collapse, turning the car into a small boat, and the city into an ocean.    

    

But in the boundless desert, even if the rain was ten times heavier, and even if it kept falling for a month, it would never cause a flood: The Taklimakan Desert that had been dry for tens of thousands of years, had it ever been flooded before?    

    

The storm lasted for two hours. It was almost 5: 15 in the afternoon before it stopped.    

    

The rain stopped, the wind stopped, and the sky lit up again. The sun had reappeared in the western sky, and the sky was as blue as a mirror. Clouds were floating in the sky.    

    

"This is really strange, to think that there would be such a heavy rain in the desert. This is definitely a strange phenomenon that is even more puzzling than the sinking of one's R Country."    

    

Tieh Tu took off his raincoat and casually threw it on the ground.    

    

They had prepared raincoats not to keep out of the rain, but to keep out the tide when they reached a certain place, but they had not expected to be of use at that time.    

    

Gao Fei took off his hat and followed Tieh Tu out the door. He raised his foot and stomped heavily on the ground.    

    

If you used to stamp on the desert, it would surely set off dust and sink the soles of your shoes.    

    

However, now, his feet had not sunk down, nor did he stamp on the dust, sand, or water. Instead, they had become firm and firm, and if there was such a heavy rain every day in the future, he believed that within a few years, the Taklimakan Desert would become a fertile prairie.    

    

Qin Chengcheng was the last to walk out. She raised her chin and greedily breathed in the fresh smell of the rain, which had a bit of a fishy smell. When she was about to pull Gao Fei around, she suddenly found something faintly appearing in the northwest sky.    

    

At first, they were vague, just a silhouette.    

    

It was a city with a majestic city wall. On top of the wall of the city gate stood dozens of warriors wearing black cotton armour and black feathered helmets. They held swords, spears and halberds in their hands as they stood there silently, staring at the people entering and exiting the city from the city below.    

    

Behind the soldiers on the streets of the city, the buildings on both sides of the street were neatly arranged. Traders could be seen walking along the streets with towels over their heads, leading a string of camels and carrying goods on their backs.    

    

There were also some aristocrats with great status, riding tall white horses, waving their horsewhips and smiling in satisfaction.    

    

Most of them were wearing all kinds of Western region national clothing. Some were carrying burdens, some were pushing carts, and the place was bustling with activity. It was just like the Divine Dynasty's famous volume of the "Clear Sky and High River Diagram".    

    

At the end of the street, there was a huge palace. At the entrance of the palace, there were also guards holding weapons. However, these guards were wearing red cotton armour with colorful Peacock Plume inserted into their helmets …    

    

Qin Chengcheng could swear that she was not dreaming. She had truly seen it all!    

    

The only thing that was unreal was what she saw. Whether it was the city walls that stretched to the horizon, mighty soldiers, or the solemn palace, everything seemed to float up a little, as if she had seen it from the water.    

    

Sea City's Mirage!    

    

This was the legendary Sea City Mirage in the desert, or in other words, the Ghost City!    

    

The Sea City Mirage, explained from a scientific angle, is an abnormal refraction phenomenon. It is the result of light passing through the atmosphere with different density in the vertical direction.    

    

To put it simply, after a torrential downpour, the water particles that were suspended in the air, under the refraction caused by the sunlight, hung a scene from a faraway place in the middle of the sky.    

    

Within the Sea City's Mirage, the people inside could be seen walking normally, and even the leaves were floating.    

    

But then again, even if Qin Chengcheng was looking at the Sea City's Mirage, an abnormal refraction of light that had virtual objects from other parts of the world hanging in the air, why were there so many people wearing ancient clothing inside those majestic walls?    

    

Could it be that somewhere in this world, there was an ancient country that people didn't know about?    

    

Strange, yet real.    

    

This strange and unexplainable truth left the knowledgeable Professor Qin at a loss as to how to explain himself. It was only when Ye Xinshang whispered two words, "Ghost City."    

    

Over there, Guisha. Above it, Ghost City.    

    

Qin Chengcheng's body suddenly trembled. She suddenly felt that other than using the word 'Ghost City' to describe this phenomenon, she didn't know what other words to use to describe it.    

    

Gao Fei looked up at this spectacular scene and muttered: "So it turns out that there really is a Ghost City existence in this world …"    

    

Before he finished speaking, the Ghost City hanging in the air suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had been covered up by someone in an instant.    

    

Just when Gao Fei felt it was strange, from the place where Ghost City were suspended, a vague image appeared all of a sudden.    

    

Slowly, the scene became clearer and clearer.    

    

This time, what was displayed was not Ghost City, but a person.    

    

It was a man wearing white ancient clothes and a hideous bronze mask.    

    

On both sides of the bronze mask, there was a pair of long ears. Just like the elf's ears in the cartoon, it had tiger eyes, a cow nose, and a lion's mouth.    

    

The person wearing the bronze mask had long, cloud-like hair. It was probably a young woman.    

    

Like a close-up from a movie, the images slowly gathered on the woman's face.    

    

If placed on the ground, that ferocious bronze mask would be at least the size of a town. Therefore, even though it was far away, Gao Fei and the others could still see it clearly.    

    

How did the Ghost City suddenly become a ghost mask?    

    

Just as Gao Fei and the rest were staring at the bronze mask silently, a hand appeared on the screen.    

    

It was just that, with the slender fingers, the delicate white back, and the similarly bronze beast-shaped ring on the ring finger, his little finger was slightly raised, looking very natural and elegant.    

    

The thumb and index finger of that hand gently pinched the bottom edge of the bronze mask before slowly lifting it up, revealing a face.    

    

Upon seeing this face, the four people, including Qin Chengcheng, felt their hearts skip a beat. There was actually such a beautiful woman in the world!    

    

Previously, when Gao Fei saw Shieh Hongyan, he was captivated by elder sister Hongyan's beauty and felt that she was worthy of being called the number one beauty of the Divine Dynasty.    

    

However, when Gao Fei saw her face, he suddenly felt that compared to this woman, Shieh Hongyan was much dimmer. At most, she was just a maid that was fit to be her.    

    

He no longer knew what sort of adjective to use to describe this woman's beauty.    

    

It was precisely because this woman was too beautiful that no one could tell her actual age. She seemed like a twenty-eight beauty, but also like a thirty year old woman. In short, this woman's beauty and that kind of unspeakable unique aura was enough to suppress all the beauties in the world!    

    

Perhaps, with just a light glance, she would be able to make many men go through fire and water for her.    

    

The woman's eyes moved gently as she looked condescendingly at Gao Fei. Her eyes narrowed into a smile that could not be described with words.    

    

Suddenly, Gao Fei heard the sound of his own saliva being swallowed. Deep in his heart, a scorching flame rose, making him want to tear all the clothes on his body to shreds. He screamed crazily and rushed into the sky!
