Chapter 21 Chapter 1 Legend

Lian Xing, Da Kui, Guo Tianbao, Yue Tiannan, and the coachman and their party traveled all over the world. After several months of ups and downs, they finally came to the bank of the Kongque River. This Kongque River is also known as the Yinma River. It is said that Ban Chao, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, once drank horses here.Hence the name Yinma River. Da Ke looked at the dry river in the distance, and murmured: "This is also called a river by his grandma, without a drop of water." Lian Xing smiled and said, "This is the Kongque River. It is the Kongque River without water." After a pause, he said, "Do you know why the Loulan Kingdom disappeared back then?"

Da Kui asked, "Why did you disappear?" Lian Xing said slowly: "Because of the diversion of the water source of the Kongque River, most of it flows into the ground, and some of it diverts. As a result, the ancient Loulan country was finally submerged under the slowly yellow sand." Guo Tianbao looked at the yellow sand slowly in the distance, and said slowly: "What I heard is different from my little brother." Both Lian Xing and Da Kui raised their heads and looked at Guo Tianbao. Lian Xing smiled and said, "What did Senior Guo say when he heard it?"

Guo Tianbao said slowly: "I heard this local old man in Xinjiang say that this ancient country of Loulan was defeated by a strange creature. This kind of insect has no natural enemies in Loulan, lives in the soil, and can use the white ointment in Loulan area They lived on the soil, and they entered residential houses in groups, and people at that time could not destroy them, so they had to abandon the city.” Da Kui was very excited when he heard it, and said, "There is still this kind of bug? What does it look like? What's its name." Guo Tianbao shook his head and said, "I don't know. No one has seen what it looks like. As for the name, no one knows."

Da Kui was rather disappointed, and said, "That's not what I said." Guo Tianbao smiled slightly, ignored him, and continued: "There is another saying, it is the plague. This is a terrible acute disease. The legendary saying is called 'hot nest disease', one disease, one village, one family death .” In the face of this terrifying plague, the Loulan people had no choice but to flee—just like the previous relocation, they had no choice but to flee. The subjects of the Loulan Kingdom blindly went up the Tarim River, wherever there were trees and water, they went there, and they went there if they could survive, and only a few survived.

Loulan people want to cry but have no tears.When they were on the road, they were caught up in an unprecedented sandstorm. It was a big formation that buried the sky and buried the ground. The sky was dark and the ground was dark, flying sand and rocks, and the sound was like a ghost. It will disappear forever in this world.Loulan gradually became a territory of wind and sand, a kingdom of death.
