Female boss's personal expert

Chapter 821 Ghost Sand, White Camel!

When these young people came to visit the Loulan ruins, the staff of the travel agency repeatedly told everyone not to enter the slightly dark sand sea, because it is the famous ghost sand in the Taklamakan Desert.

In order to attract everyone's attention, the staff from the travel agency also specifically cited a few examples. For example, during the time of the autumnal equinox last year, several tomb robbers strayed into the ghost sand, but none of them came back alive.

Also, a month ago, a few tourists strayed into the ghost sand and were bitten by strange monsters living in the ghost sand, which should be large lizards. Their result can only be death.

Although the staff of the travel agency were very responsible, they repeatedly told these young people that there might be some creatures in the ghost sand that cannot be explained by modern science—Spirits: a large lizard that turns into a human after death.

But instead of caring, these young people became more interested in Guisha.

They have lived in the metropolis since they were young, received higher education, and don't believe in ghosts like skinks at all. It's okay if the travel agency doesn't say anything, but the more they talk, the more they hope to find that kind of skink.

Just like the Tianchi monster in Changbai Mountain, the more miraculous it is, the more interested people are, and they always hope to witness it with their own eyes.

So, when old Harry sternly warned everyone not to enter the ghost sand, the young people laughed and no one believed it. Some even started to beat the camels with whips and ran towards the ghost sand.

Old Harry's complexion changed drastically, and when he was about to scold these ignorant young people loudly, he suddenly heard a rush of camel bells coming up from under the sand dunes.

Old Harry’s more than 20 camels also wore camel bells. The camel bells were made of brass.

However, when the camel bell rang, the sound of the camel bells worn by old Harry's camels was as unpleasant as the friction sound of a shovel dragged on the road.

Just like the fairy music from beyond the clouds, every 'jingle' seems to be able to cleanse people's souls.

Old Harry and the others subconsciously looked towards the dunes.

The dune is about tens of meters high and the gentle slope is hundreds of meters long. It took more than 20 minutes for the old Harry and others to drive the camels up the large sand dune.

According to old Harry's experience, although the unusually crisp sound of camel bells seems to be not far away, it must be at least a hundred meters away from the height of the sand dunes, and it should not appear in sight until seven or eight minutes later.

What he didn't expect was that just as he turned his head to look over there, he saw a snow-white, tall camel flying up from the bottom of the sand dune, galloping towards the northwest along the edge of the high sand dune .

"White dromedary camel!"

Old Harry's expression changed drastically, and he jumped off the camel, laying down on the ground, praying for something.

Although white camels are rare, they are not very rare. At present, the Alxa Bactrian camels, which are well-known in the world, are white, and there are about 1000 heads.

But those camels are artificially bred, Bactrian camels.

According to legend, in history, Genghis Khan, King Xixia and others all owned white camels and regarded them as treasures (mascots), but those were all double-humped.

The single-humped white camel is the king of the desert. Legend has it that it was sent by Hu Da (Changshengtian, God). It is called the most magical elf in the desert. , this kind of single-humped white camel will appear.

Old Harry, who is almost 70 years old this year, has only seen a dromedary white camel once in his life, and that was 60 years ago——60 years later, he actually saw this desert elf again.

The appearance of the single-humped white camel made old Harry immediately admire him, but those young people paid attention not to the camel itself, but to the people on the camel.

On that oversized white camel, there were two people riding on it, one man and one... probably a woman.

The reason why it is not sure that it is a woman is because she has long, smooth light golden hair fluttering in the wind. She is wearing a black robe and a hideous bronze mask on her face. She is holding her hands tightly as if she is asleep. The man didn't even look at her holding the camel, and just sat on it like that.

But no matter how big the white camel's steps are or how fast it runs, she is as stable as if she is glued to the camel's back.

Those young people, after seeing this scene, were stunned for a moment, and then someone uttered a strange cry of 'wahaha', whipped the camel under its crotch and chased after it.

After someone took the lead, the group of energetic young people shouted in unison, driving the camels forward and chasing over there, yelling strangely, "Wait, the beauty in front".

These energetic young people have long been tired of the stereotyped game style in the metropolis. At this time, they saw someone riding a white camel rushing towards the ghost sand, and completely ignored the warnings of the travel agency, old Harry and others. Back of the head: If others can go there, why can't we?

The white camel appeared for a short time, but in the blink of an eye, it ran several hundred meters along the edge of the high sand dune, leaving those young people far behind.

Old Harry didn't go after him, but just knelt there and kept raising his hands, prostrating slowly, chanting words, his old face twitching non-stop, as if praying that Hu Da would not blame those ignorant young people .

The camel ran very fast in the desert, but it was very stable, not as bumpy as people riding on horseback. That's why those young people were able to drive the camel to chase the white camel with all their strength.

Soon, the white dromedary stepped into the darker ghost sand area, and ran forward without stopping, stepping on a yellow dragon, climbing towards a higher sand dune.

"Yo ho ho!"

The young man who was the first to chase after him got up excitedly from the camel, raised his whip high and danced back and forth, imagining himself as those brave horse herders lassoing their horses.

"Moo!"

Just as the young man was yelling loudly, the camel under his crotch rushed after the white camel, but suddenly the camel let out a strange cry, as if it had hit an invisible wall, and its running steps stopped.

"Ouch, I'm stupid!"

The young man who stood up with the stirrups on the camel jumped forward unpreparedly, fell off the camel with a thud, and smashed into the sand heavily.

Fortunately, the sand below is very thick, and falling off the camel did not hurt very much. The young man got up immediately, and amidst the roar of laughter from his companions, he immediately re-mounted the camel in a chic way, waving his whip: "Fold, shelf!"

After making a fool of himself in front of his companions, the young man didn't think about why the camel stopped. He just wanted to drive it forward and catch up with the white camel that had climbed the dune.

But no matter how much he beat the camel, the camel not only didn't move forward, but went backwards with a moo.

The lack of cooperation of the camel made the young man lose face, shouting and cursing.

At this moment, more than 20 camels ran over from behind.

Something even more strange happened to the young people. After arriving at this place, all the camels stopped in unison and refused to run forward again.

Fortunately, after seeing the first young man fall off the camel, everyone slowed down and grabbed the saddle tightly, and no one fell off again.

"Hey, why didn't the camel run forward, fight, fight!"

Someone bluffed in confusion and slammed the camel's belly with both feet.

But all the camels raised their mouths and mooed like they were possessed by an evil spirit, turned around in circles or backed up, and never took a step forward again, as if there was a scourge ahead.

The blood-red sun in the west was gradually blocked by the big sand dune for a small part. The golden-red sun swept across the sand dune and sprinkled on the desert. A slight cool breeze came out, carrying a slight chill. The young man with sharp eyes suddenly realized: A few meters before the camel stopped, the sand grains had turned slightly black.

ghost sand!

Suddenly, something flashed through this person's mind like lightning, and he couldn't help shouting: "Ah, there is ghost sand ahead!"

"Ghost sand?"

The young people who were scolding and even cursing the camels were stunned for a moment, and then they understood: "The people from the travel agency said that camels never dare to enter the ghost sand area, so it is true!"

"Look, what is that old guide still worshiping there!"

"The people from the travel agency said that camels dare not enter the ghost sand, so how dare the white camel just enter?"

"I know!"

A girl with a cheerful personality suddenly shouted: "I read it on the Internet. In the desert, the single-humped white camel is an elf sent by Hu Da. It can not fear any danger in the desert. The white camel just now, Is it unimodal?"

Someone immediately said, "Yes, it's a single-humped camel. At that time, I wondered why those two people sat so steadily on the single-humped camel."

"Who are those two people? Why did that woman wear such a scary mask, ride a white camel, and enter the ghost sand area that us camels dare not enter?"

Some people began to pay attention to those legends in the desert, and their faces became serious.

A timid girl suggested: "Let's go back and ask the old guide."

Although everyone doesn't believe in ghost sand, and they don't really believe that the single-humped white camel is a desert elf, but so many camels on their own dare not move forward. The reality of the woman wearing a hideous mask finally made them understand a truth: legends, and It is not groundless.

The young people hesitated for a while, and then when the sun slowly set under the sand dune, they all turned and walked towards old Harry.

Old Harry had already stood up, murmuring something with his right hand over his heart and eyes closed.

The young man who was the first to catch up jumped off the camel and asked bluntly, "Hey, old Harry, have you ever seen that dromedary white camel just now?"

"I have seen."

Old Harry opened his eyes and said slowly: "I saw it 60 years ago. According to the legend of the older generation, a single-humped white camel will appear once every 60 years, and only white camels can come and go freely in the ghost sand." , not afraid of evil spirits."

If you put it in front of the strange thing that all the camels stopped in front of Guisha, you would definitely sneer at the old Harry's words, saying that he is so stupid, why is he spreading superstition?
But now, no one refuted anything. The youngest girl asked timidly, "Old Harry, what about that woman wearing a mask?"

Old Harry looked at the dark ghost sand area and murmured, "That's King Shura."

"King Shura?"

When someone finally couldn't help laughing, the most timid girl suddenly pointed to the western sky and shouted: "Look, what is that!"
