Chapter 81 The Voice of the Soul

Chapter 81 The Voice of the Soul

Under Xiao Ran's repeated requests, the archaeological team prepared enough water in the ancient city of Xiye, and filled the kettles that everyone carried with them to the brim, before leaving the ancient city in a mighty way.

The camel team went all the way south, and finally stepped into the sea of ​​death and the black desert.The Populus euphratica forest that I often saw before, and the sand lizard that occasionally sprang out of the desert and left a string of footprints in the sand, have now disappeared.

Turning over a dune, another dune, like a wave of sand repeated, but completely lifeless.

In such a boring environment, anxiety and exhaustion continued to spread. Everyone frowned and rode on the camel in silence, even the fat man who was always talkative was dumb.

Xiao Ran drove the camel to catch up with Hu Bayi and An Liman, who were chatting about the Black Desert.

Hu Bayi asked An Liman how many times he had been to the Black Desert, An Liman had a wry smile on his face: "I came here once, just this time! Even Hu Da didn't want to come to the Black Desert, if Hu Da sent Bai Camel Messenger, bless the cadres and gentlemen in the team, I am unwilling to come even if I die a hundred times!"

"It's your first time here too?!" Hu Bayi was a little surprised, "Then we won't be unable to go out?"

An Liman shook his head: "I am called An Liman, and An Liman is a living map of the desert! As long as there are scorpion grass and Artemisia annua, there will be underground rivers below. These rivers have not been hidden in the ground before. , the old towns are built along the river, as long as Hu Da gives instructions, we can go well!"

As An Liman said, he pointed to the sand nest not far away: "Look, Haloxylon grass!"

After carefully identifying it for a long time, Xiao Ran finally saw the small tuft of shuttleweed in the shadow of the sand nest, and exclaimed: "Mr. An, you are amazing, why can't I see it..."

An Liman said proudly: "I am An Liman, aren't you!"

While speaking, a gust of wind blew, raising yellow sand all over the sky, and gradually dyed the whole sky pale yellow.The fat man hurriedly drove the camel over from behind, and asked An Liman nervously: "Is it going to blow a sandstorm again?"

An Liman shook his head: "Hu Da didn't lose his temper, at most he just sneezed! Little sandstorm, it doesn't matter!"

When the fat man heard this, he turned around in peace of mind and conveyed An Liman's words to the people behind him.

Not long after the fat man left, Shirley Yang drove the camel over again, took out a notebook, and looked through it carefully.

Xiao Ran glanced at the notebook, all of which were in English, and there were some very freehand pictures, including some palaces and temples, human figures and Buddha statues, sand dunes and forests, etc., as well as some scribbled maps with mixed solid and dotted lines.

Seeing Xiao Ran, Shirley Yang was very curious, and explained to him: "This is the notebook of Mr. Walter, a British explorer. He once saw a huge ancient city in the lower reaches of the Zidu Dark River. My father suspected that it was the ancient city of Jingjue, so I specially made it I bought this notebook from England. It’s a pity that Walt’s expedition records only up to the discovery of the ancient city, and there is no further record. In the end, only one mentally disturbed person survived.”

Xiao Ran knew in his heart that it was naturally caused by Queen Jingjue's fragrant konjac.

As for the content and ins and outs of the notes, Hu Bayi already understood everything during the conversation with Shirley Yang Ye.He followed Shirley Yang's words and asked: "Did Mr. Walter say how we should go next?"

Shirley Yang replied: "He recorded in his notes that after leaving Xiye Ancient City, they found a place with many stone tombs nearby. They originally planned to dig when they came back, so they drew a more detailed map."

Shirley Yang and An Liman discussed the approximate direction and distance. At this time, the wind and sand gradually subsided, and the big sun in the sky made the yellow sand dazzling again.

In the desert without wind and sand, the sun greedily evaporates the water in the human body.Xiao Ran took a sip of water, at this time, he could only talk and move as little as possible to maintain sufficient water in his body.

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the end of the line. He looked back and found Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng pointing not far away and cheering.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang also turned their heads and saw that they were pointing to the left side of the team.Everyone looked in the direction they were pointing at, and saw a large oasis in the distance, with sparkling lakes in the middle, and many people were busy going in and out of gray and black stone houses.

In the endless desert, such a large oasis suddenly appeared, Xiao Ran was puzzled.An Liman next to him stared at the pair of eagle eyes to make a careful identification, and shouted behind him: "That's the devil's city! Even if you die of thirst and exhaustion, you won't be able to go there! Bless you Hu, hurry up and get away!" a little!"

Xiao Ran immediately understood what An Liman meant, and shouted to the students behind him: "That's a mirage! It's not real! Look carefully, there are still people dressed like that in what age!"

Everyone looked carefully, and indeed found a group of people emerging from nowhere, riding horses and driving slowly towards the city. They were all dressed in robes and boots, and their hairstyles were by no means modern.

This mirage in the desert is really bizarre, not only refracting the scenery in other places, but even recording scenes in different time and space.It was the first time Xiao Ran saw a mirage with his own eyes, and he was amazed.

But An Liman and Shirley Yang stopped drinking the camel at this time, looked at the direction of the mirage, and carefully studied the route.

When An Liman was looking at the mirage just now, he found a few Artemisia annua plants on the ground, logically this was the direction to go.But An Liman is very repulsed by this "devil's city", thinking that if he goes in that direction, he will be punished by Hu Da.

But Shirley Yang thinks that direction is just within the approximate range of the route recorded in the notes, and with the Artemisia annua seen by An Liman, there is no wrong way to go there.

The two fell into a stalemate for a while, and Hu Bayi was also blinded. There are no stars in the daytime, and he can't identify the location of the stone tomb through astrology.

Xiao Ran suddenly thought of an idea, and with an attitude of giving it a try, he secretly asked Suo Hun Ding Lingzhu: "Suozi, do you know the way? Do you know how to get around the stone tombs?"

"Stone tombs? Never heard of it."

Suohun Dinglingzhu answered very simply, and Xiao Ran was immediately discouraged.It seems that this broken bead is really suitable for throwing into the grave.

"But..." Suohun Dinglingzhu suddenly said again.

Xiao Ran hurriedly asked: "But what?"

"I hear the voice of the soul, smell the smell of the soul. The oppressed soul is crying, just to the left of you..."

I didn't expect this bead to have this ability!No wonder, his work is related to the soul.Xiao Ran looked to the left, and it was indeed the location of the mirage. It seemed that whether it was An Liman or Shirley Yang, their positioning was correct.

He turned to An Liman and said, "The Artemisia annua on the ground is Hu Da's will, just like the white camel before, if you don't follow Hu Da's will, you will be punished. Even if the front is really a ghost town, Hu Da will Will keep us safe!"

An Liman was still skeptical, but in the next second, those mirages turned into phantoms, and then dissipated like smoke.

An Liman then said devoutly: "This is Hu Da's will! Let's go!"

Under the leadership of An Liman, the camel team headed towards the location of the mirage just now.
