Strange Tomb [Recommended by the Great God]

This is the first time Leizi has heard of Lingxi fruit. He heard that it might exist in the desert, but he has something to say: "It just so happens that there is a good place - the ancient country of Loulan."

"I know this place, but the ruins of the ancient Loulan kingdom have been discovered long ago, and the archaeologists have gone there, and now there are tourist saints there," Bai Yi said, "It sounds like there is nothing to sing about."

"Then I was wrong. What I found now is just the tip of the iceberg." Lei Zi lowered his voice: "I stayed there when I was a child. Let me tell you, my master once said that there are clues about the ancient kingdom of Loulan. The ancient country is still in the ground, so what you found is a fart."

The Xiling faction once faded out of the Central Plains and lived in the frontier fortress. If there is news about Loulan from this faction, it is not impossible, Bai Yi thought to himself.

"Do you really have a clue?" Bai Yi also became interested.

"Of course." Lei Zi said, "However, the ancient country of Loulan is located in the sea of ​​death."

The sea of ​​death, Bai Yi knows, refers to the Taklamakan Desert, and the sea of ​​death was proposed by Sven amp; #8226; Hedin of Sweden, not Uyghur. "Taklamakan" is Persian, which means "even leafless trees cannot grow".In arid regions, as a result of natural selection, the leaves are small or even do not grow leaves. "Even small leafless trees cannot grow" refers to a particularly dry climate.The average annual precipitation there is only 25-50 millimeters, and in some places it is only 10 millimeters. Plants are very rare, which is a forbidden area for life.

This is the Swede who proposed the sea of ​​death. In 1895, he once led a team with 8 camels, two dogs, 3 sheep, 1 rooster and 10 hens, which was enough to feed a group for three or four months. The food, a full set of fur coats, winter clothes, and 3 long guns and 6 short guns enough to equip a guard squad, as well as scientific instruments ranging from temperature gauges to altimeters, went to the Taklamakan Desert, but it was only a few days time to use up all the drinking water.

In order to save their lives, this expedition even drank human urine, camel water, sheep blood, and everything containing water. Although they finally found a water pool and were saved, they still lost all the camels. , the camel driver also lost his life, gave up most of the baggage, lost two cameras and 1800 negatives, the sea of ​​death...

"What are you thinking?" Lei Zi waved his hand in front of Bai Yi, "Isn't it because you're afraid?"

"Afraid?" Bai Yi shook his head: "I was just thinking, the most important thing in the desert is water, how to bring enough water, and how to find water sources in the desert, and learn from the lessons of the predecessors."

"Predecessor, who is the predecessor?" Lei Zi was stunned: "Is there anyone else who has been there before?"

Anyway, it would be useless to talk about the Swedes with him, Bai Yi said, "Have you stayed there for a while?"

"Well, about a month or so." Lei Zi said honestly this time: "The place we stayed in is a residential area, and there is still some distance from the desert. However, I am still very clear about some of those customs."

Tang Sancheng understood: "After talking for a long time, you are actually a layman?"

Lei Zi chuckled: "Well, it's easy to understand why those who are upside down don't want to go to the desert. There is still green grass here, and the sky is full of yellow sand when you turn a corner. The most terrible thing is that you lose your direction, lack of water, and sandstorm papers. Feng, Master never let us go in, he controlled us, otherwise Zhu San and I couldn't bear it long ago, and fortunately we were controlled by Master, otherwise we would probably be two mummified corpses in the desert. In which corner?"

Bai Yi closed his eyes: "It would be best if someone could lead us in."

"There are people here." Lei Zi said: "When I was still living there, I heard that there were some people in black cloaks who could lead people across the desert. I have seen them before, but... those Most of the people are fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, and they don’t know whether it’s true or not.”

"Let's not talk about that, what is the clue about the ancient Loulan kingdom that your master said?" Bai Yi asked.

"The ancient kingdom of Loulan was buried underground by wind and sand. Master once said that if you find the Ming Gong, you will be able to find the ancient kingdom of Loulan hidden underground." Lei Zi nodded and said, "Ming Gong."

What is this thing?Bai Yi crossed his hips, sounding almost as unreliable as Lingxi Guo, "Okay, Lei Zi, let's make preparations, we have to go this trip."

"Xiao Ning, girl." Lei Zi said with his eye circles a little red: "Okay, I'll do the preparations, Xiao Shan, and I'll return it to you. By the way, Bai Yi, Lord Hong told you to contact him when you come back." .”

It seems that it is a matter of making a move with a bright weapon. This time the harvest is very rich. I guess Master Hong must have been frightened. Bai Yi sent Lei Zi away, and immediately went to Master Hong's house. After Master Hong retired, his life was almost the same It's a life of seclusion, and the connection with the outside world is basically seldom opened except for those fixed channels. Bai Yi can be said to be Hong Ye's closest guest, and this level of relationship is also somewhat close to "forgetful friends". Maybe It's because of age, after all, Bai Yi, who looks like he is in his early thirties, is already in his 80s.

When Bai Yi knocked on the door, he had his own rhythm. Master Hong could clearly know that the person who came was Bai Yi, and he would open the door faster than usual. Seeing that it was Bai Yi, Master Hong said lightly: "Come back gone?"

"En." Bai Yi walked into Master Hong's yard and saw an ancient book on the table in the yard. When the old man was free, he would bask in the sun in the yard and read ancient books. He lived a leisurely life.

"The harvest from the last trip was good." Master Hong said: "I found someone to re-melt the gold and silver ingots, so I sold them. After all, it is safer, and the other artifacts will be sold directly."

Gold and silver are also one of the currencies in circulation now. So much gold and silver suddenly pouring into the market will definitely make people suspicious, especially the words "Heaven, Earth and Man" on it, I am afraid it will bring risks to everyone, as expected of Hong Ye , dealt with it with great experience, "Master Hong is still careful." Bai Yi praised.

"I came to you because of the summoning order." After Master Hong finished speaking, Bai Yi was taken aback: "Does it refer to the legendary summoning order?"

"That's right." Master Hong said, "There is a group of people who are recruiting troops to go find Qin Ling together. It has already spread in the Daedou world. I wanted to inform you a long time ago, but you haven't seen anyone for a while."

"What is the background of this group of people?" Bai Yi was taken aback.
