Blue tears in the desert, this guide for you to play cool and save!

I've always heard that "deserts and clear springs are incompatible."
But the Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain broke this curse✨
The sand will not fall when the wind blows, and the spring water will not dry up for a thousand years.
Seeing with your own eyes how shocking the prophet is!
