After about eleven hours in the carriage, I finally got to the Long Sect. Woah, so it is this crazy. There were so many people walking here and there. It was surprisingly hot as if it was a desert, but how would this much people live here? Was this a market or something cause there were lots of camels and donkeys carrying goods around, and there were stores here and there. I asked one of the folks if this was a market but it seemed that they spoke a different language, but it was kind of similar to Hanyu which we spoke here in Jiangyu.
"Don't worry, I speak Hanyu. You are from the east right?" the folk said.
I said yes and asked him if this was a market. He then answered that this was just a local street. What the heck, there is no way this is a local street. He saw the surprise in my expression and told me to try spending the day here. Hmm, not a bad idea.
I walked around the streets and it was awesome. They sold lots of jewelry, clothings, accessories, artifacts, ointments, and great food. Through my dressing, some traders knew I was from the east and let me try some of the food for free, and they were spicy and marvelous. Mostly spicy.
I also played a game where you have to shoot the animal you want to eat with an arrow. I never knew I was good with the arrow and, right now, I was getting some kills, until the butcher got tired and sent me away.
It was getting late, but instead of the fun to end, it was increasing. I went to an open place where people danced their cultural dance. I sat to watch them as they danced around the fire until a bunch of women dragged me in to dance with them. They forcefully taught me how to dance, but it wasn't boring at all; in fact, I was enjoying this.
It was about 9 hours past noon so I headed out to eat something and find a place to sleep. I got to a bar, since it was mostly bars around. In the bar, the only thing they sold was alcohol, and I really needed to drink something. This is my first time in the "Mengel", it might as well be my first time drinking alcohol. I drank my first cup, and then...

I drank my thirty-eighth and requested another. As I waited for the waiter, I overheard a man complaining about his wife: "Women, they are so confusing," he said with alcohol in his hand.
Wait, what is happening? I can't control my body. I walked up to the man and slammed the table close to him and said, "You, you, you're right. Women are really confusing.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I sat down aimlessly and kept... what the heck do drunk people do? (I don't know).
Whatever, what is important is that you know I was rolling with a drunk man. We kept drinking and saying trash until the drunk man told me he knows a place where the women are awesome. I told him I didn't want to follow him, but he dragged me anyway.

Where—where am I? All I could see was bright light, hear light music, and perceive a strong aroma of an expensive perfume. Suddenly, a woman dragged my head and fed me a grape. Another woman dragged me from the right and put honey in my mouth. Another dragged my head from above with a piece of apple in her mouth and was about to feed it to me... with... her... mouth—
**AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!**
I jumped out of the bed and crashed on the floor. I looked around and saw hundreds of women, fruits, soft music, beds, wine... that idiot took me to a pleasure house.
One of the women asked me if I was okay. I told her that I was fine and I am leaving. Suddenly, the expression in all their faces changed. They held me and told me to pay. Oh gods, at this rate, I'll become poor. I paid the mistresses and left the pleasure house. Good thing I didn't do anything with those public sinks.
It was 5 hours passed midnight, but I still had to continue my journey. I got a carriage going to the Western Abandoned Sect, but I'll have to pass through the Eastern Abandoned Sect. It was hard to find a carriage going to the Western Abandoned Sect, cause it seems that travelers are scared of passing through the Eastern Abandoned Sect. Good thing I finally found a carriage. In about 4 hours, we got to the Eastern Abandoned Sect.
Woah, so this is why they call it an abandoned sect. They were lots of ancient buildings that were falling apart, some halfway buried by the red sand. The temperature here was extreme, and it made it hard for even the camels to move. We kept moving slowly for about an hour and I fell asleep...
**BOOM?!!**
