A month later, Hou Niao and his group arrived at a place called Longxu Gully.
Longxu Gully, also known as the ancient riverbed—which goes back over a thousand years—was once a verdant area with an abundance of water and grass. The Longxu River flowed here, nourishing countless herds of cattle and sheep and sustaining numerous herdsmen.
