Qiao Zhi turned the magnifying glass over curiously, but in the end, he actually became smaller "swish"!

Seeing the big pear tree around him getting bigger and bigger, Qiao Zhi was so scared that he was like an ant on a hot pan.

He shouted in horror: "What's wrong? Why am I getting smaller?"

Qiao Zhi was anxious and looked up and down, holding the magnifying glass tightly in his hand, tears were almost flowing out.

He raised the magnifying glass in his hand and said to himself, "Did you make me smaller?"

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi turned the magnifying glass and faced him with the one with the word "right". Suddenly, he found that the scenery around him began to become smaller bit by bit, and his shadow reflected on the ground. He was surprised to find that he had become bigger bit by bit!

"Wow! What a magical treasure!" Qiao Zhi clapped his hands excitedly, as if the fear just now had never happened. Now he was completely attracted by this novel discovery.

Unexpectedly, this magnifying glass can not only turn the little ant into a big camel, but also make itself smaller.

He murmured to himself: "It's so amazing."

The evening breeze blows the branches of the pear tree at this time, and the leaves make a "rustling" sound. Accompanied by this pleasant sound, a lively and melodious tune slowly came from the pear tree. This music is like teasing the strings of the night, sometimes in the night sky, sometimes hiding into the clouds.

Qiao Zhi tilted his head, raised his ears, listened carefully to the wonderful music, and said in confusion: "What sound is so good?"

He slowly walked towards the tree hole, and the music became clearer and clearer, and there were people who beat the music.

"There is a sound? How come there is a sound? Where did the sound come from?" Qiao Zhi looked around in confusion. Finally, he leaned his head close to the tree hole and said excitedly: "I found it! It turned out that it was the music coming from the tree hole. I must go and see what it was."

But the tree hole was too small, and Qiao Zhi couldn't find his head at all.

"Will you just use the Universe Magic Mirror to look at it?" The voice of a stranger suddenly broke into Qiao Zhi's ears.

Qiao Zhi, who was concentrating on his head, was shocked! He almost sat on the ground, really, just a little bit.

"Who is talking? Who are you?" Qiao Zhi asked.

He opened his eyes wide and looked around. It was already dark.

"If you use the Qiankun Magic Mirror to see who I am?" The voice was still speaking, "Stumb, are you a coward who dare not use the Qiankun Magic Mirror?" This time the voice became clearer.

Qiao Zhiyi pouted and said angrily: "Who said he dared not use it? I am the bravest." As he said that, he turned the magnifying glass to the opposite side, and gently looked at his body, and he became smaller again.

The scene around me gradually changed, and finally it became a place I had never been to before.

There is an endless desert here and a large area of ​​oasis. The shape of this oasis is like a huge fan, opening from the southwest to the northeast.

Where Qiao Zhi is standing now is an ancient city. The buildings here have an indescribable Western Regions flavor. There are residences, Buddhist temples, taverns, and goods warehouses on both sides of the street.

There were also people wearing Western Regions costumes hurriedly walking by him...

"Oh my god, what's this place?" Qiao Zhi murmured to himself, his eyes full of curiosity.

The stars flashed in the sky, and even the sky became deeper. The fragrance of fruits and melons came from the air. The melodious tune sounded again, and Qiao Zhi slowly walked towards the place where the sound sounded.

A caravan was stationed in an inn facing the street. Their camels were lying on the ground on the street, their thick lips kept chewing, and sneezing from time to time.

"Child?" Su Cheng's voice sounded, "Why are you getting smaller?" It was a bit of surprise.

Qiao Zhi quickly turned around and shouted excitedly: "Su Cheng!" He ran and jumped to Su Cheng, looking at the strange city with curiosity, "Where is this?"

Su Cheng blinked, "This is Dunhuang, we will rest here, open the market early tomorrow morning, and then set out to Hami." Su Cheng said and asked curiously: "Why have you become smaller?"

Qiao Zhi ran over and grabbed Su Cheng's sleeve, put the package back into Su Cheng's arms, "I didn't help you find the caravan for gifts, I'm going to give you this, the teacher said, helping others without asking for rewards."

Then, Qiao Zhi took out a magnifying glass, pointed the words on it to Su Cheng, and said, "It's it, this good baby, can make me bigger and smaller. I just heard someone say I'm a coward. Have you seen anyone scold me?"

Su Cheng tilted his head, touched his beard, looked at Qiao Zhi with admiration and said, "You are such a good child with precious qualities."

Then he said, "Just now, I saw the director, and he went to the performance excitedly." As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the next door of the inn. It was a tea shop with nice music coming from inside.

"It's this sound, it sounds so nice!" Qiao Zhi completely forgot to be afraid. He was extremely curious about the exotic city in front of him. He wanted to know who was playing such a wonderful music.

When Qiao Zhi walked into the tea shop, the musician had already finished his performance.

A man with round eyes changed on the stage, and his eyes were so round, just like the full moon in the sky. He had eight beards, a pair of long horoscopes hanging on his face, and a colorful and strange-style hat.

He was wearing a big green jacket, a funny lantern skirt, and a bright pink shoes on his feet, one?

Huh? The director actually only has one leg! He jumped when he walked. This person... is as strange as he is.

When the people in the audience saw him appearing on the stage, they instantly burst into cheers and applause.

Obviously, this strangely dressed person is a very popular character.

"Who is he?" Qiao Zhi pressed his voice and asked Su Cheng quietly next to him.

"He is the director. At this time of day, he will come on stage to tell us stories. The director knows a lot of strange stories, and he also..." At this point, Su Cheng suddenly shut up and forced himself to stop what he was going to say.

"What else is he? Su Cheng, why don't you say it?" Qiao Zhi asked curiously.

Su Cheng's eyes turned, and quickly changed the subject. He asked Qiao Zhi: "Do you know what the instrument was just now?"

Qiao Zhi's doubts were immediately replaced by the instrument he mentioned, and then asked: "What is that nice instrument?"

"That is the Barbat qin, a very popular musical instrument in Persia. It was passed here through our past caravans, and it is now called Pipa. I heard from the director that someone carved the fairy playing the Pipa on the murals, and it looked like flying in the sky, beautiful." Su Cheng said, his eyes full of yearning.

"Where was it carved? Where was the mural?" Qiao Zhi was also very impressed.

"It's right in the Thousand Buddha Cave, not too far from here." Su Cheng replied, raising his hand and pointing to the West.

With imagination of the murals, Qiao Zhi was also curious about the green robe curator on the stage, and his eyes began to follow the director's every move.

The green robe curator lifted up his robe and sat on a chair, looking around with his round eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on Qiao Zhi, and his round eyes narrowed, with a hint of excitement, and said in a tone: "Oh, he is actually a new friend. It seems that you are the one selected by Qiankun Magic Mirror, right?"

Qiao Zhi was stunned by his words. He touched his pocket, and the pattern of the magnifying glass was cold.

"The person who said I was a coward just now also called you Qiankun Magic Mirror, so I will also call you Qiankun Magic Mirror." Qiao Zhi thought to himself, without saying a word.

The director on the stage smiled and stared at Qiao Zhi mysteriously, "New friend, let's get to know each other. I am the guide of the caravan this time, and everyone calls me the one-legged immortal."

After saying that, he took out a small cage from the huge pocket of the green robe, which was a large green beetle. The curator squeezed his eyes and said, "This is my pet, the unicorn fairy."

Qiao Zhi waved at the one-legged immortal curator, without any fright. He said with a bright look: "I am Qiao Zhi, my Chinese name is Qiao Zhi, and my English name is George. I am now in the fifth grade of elementary school."

"Fifth Grade? What is Fifth Grade?"

"What is primary school?"

"Director, do you know what English is?"

Someone asked curiously.

The director of the One-legged Immortal raised his hands and twisted his eight beards, with a proud and arrogant expression on his face, "That's a story that will be told a long time later. Today, what we want to tell is the story of Cheshi Qianguo."

The people in the audience quickly calmed down.

I heard the director of the One-legged Immortal slowly say: "In the country in Cheshi, there is a king-line Jiaohe City, also known as Jiaohe Ancient City. Because the river water diverges around the city, it is named. Jiaohe River originates at the foot of Tianshan Mountain and flows from north to south. This place is 8,150 miles away from Chang'an, with 700 households and a population of about 6,500..."

Under the influence of the director's voice, a scene gradually appeared in front of Qiao Zhi:

The vast river water flows continuously at the foot of the mysterious Tianshan Mountains, gradually passing through a city, divided into two strands at the Hexinzhou, and then merges into one after another.

Ancient buildings rose from the ground, using cliffs as barriers, without city walls. Below the cliffs is a surging river, rushing, rushing...

"It is an important passage for the caravan to go to Tianshan, and it is also the most important shopping station on our way. I was there, and after all my efforts, I finally got an unexpected treasure. What do you guess it is?"

Before the audience could answer, the director of the One-legged Immortal said to himself: "That's a human-faced pottery lamp!"

"Human-faced pottery lamp?" Qiao Zhi's curiosity was aroused. He had never seen a mysterious pottery lamp before.

So he followed the people and asked, "What does that look like?"

"This human-faced pottery lamp comes from Jiaohe Ancient City. On the surface, it is a bearded human face, with a dark embossed shape, a hollow cylindrical shape, about 28 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter on the bottom."

After saying that, the director's expression changed and he continued:

"But, as soon as I brought it to my territory, it became irritable and got angry as soon as I entered the door. If I hadn't been slandering, it would have slipped away from my territory."

Qiao Zhi became more and more confused as he listened. He asked in confusion: "What's your territory? Director of the One-legged Immortal, where is your territory?"

The one-legged immortal director's round eyes turned around and said, "My territory, I can't tell you now, you can only discover it yourself. Otherwise, it won't be fun."

"Ah? What territory is it? It's mysterious and secret, and you still have to sell it for a big hurdle?" Qiao Zhi scratched his head.

I looked up at the sky. The moon here was big and bright. It was hanging in the dark blue sky at this time. An owl was croaking on the treetops.

Qiao Zhi slapped his forehead and said to Su Cheng: "I have forgotten the time! I'm late to get home and my parents are worried. I'll leave first. Can I have fun with you tomorrow?"

Su Cheng smiled and he replied happily: "Of course, we will stay here for a day to replenish supplies. If you are willing, of course you can come over and play." Su Cheng warmly welcomed Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "That's great. I'm going to school first tomorrow. I'll come to play with you when I get home."

After saying that, Qiao Zhi ran to the distance with the Universe Mirror. He excitedly said, "I want to run farther away, so as not to step on you when it gets bigger."

Standing in the endless Gobi desert, Qiao Zhi jumped happily, the fine sand under his feet was soft, just like the carpet at home.

At this time, he was so excited that he did not notice that there was a huge mountain-like shadow in the distance, and suddenly moved.

Then, he used the Universe Magic Mirror to make himself bigger, leaving only the small Su Cheng holding the package and shouting: "Qiao Zhi, take the treasure I gave to you!"

But Qiao Zhi, who had grown bigger, heard nothing.

He returned to the big pear tree, and there was still such a quiet and peaceful scene. The night was quiet and the wind was light.

But Qiao Zhi was full of excitement. He got a super treasure, went to a mysterious foreign country, and met the curator of the strangely dressed one-legged immortal. This was simply amazing!
