Nine idlers

"Look at Xu Changqing's words. Long Jinbao quickly gathered his mana into his eyes, arousing his innate yin and yang eyes. At this moment, the desert, ancient city and other scenes suddenly changed in front of him. The ancient city and desert disappeared, replaced by a mountain that looked like an illusion and seemed real. , the high mountain soars straight into the sky, surrounded by immortal energy, rolling clouds, flying dragons and phoenixes, strange beasts walking around, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants all over the mountain, as if in a fairyland, and on the top of the mountain, you can faintly see a towering tower that is as high as ten feet tall. , The vermilion gate that exudes a strange light.

"Is this the entrance to the fairyland? It looks more like the grandeur of the Kunlun fairyland just by the entrance, so what should the fairyland look like?" Seeing such a shocking scene, even Long Jinbao, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but faint. Take a breath.muttered to himself.

"Pictures are born from the heart!" Xu Changqing stared at the front and said in a calm tone: "This mirage can directly point to people's hearts. What kind of scene is what you think in your heart, what kind of scene is what you see."

"Is this the mirage people often talk about in the desert?" Long Jinbao asked in surprise, "Then isn't this scene fake?"

"It's true when it's fake, and it's true when it's fake! If you think it's true, it's true. If you think it's fake, it's also fake." Xu Changqing closed his eyes slightly, as if in As if feeling some kind of power, he said after a while: "The formation protecting the mountain at the gate of the Immortal Realm is really extraordinary. Not only is it in harmony with the sky and the earth, but it also contains such a strong mirage. It is inevitable that you will get lost in this mirage."

After that, he stretched out the top of Long Jinbao's head, and Long Jinbao immediately felt a hot current pouring down from the top of his head, rushing all the way to the Yongquan point on the bottom of his feet, and then flowing back up, pouring into his eyes.When his eyes felt a burst of scorching heat, the scene in front of him changed again, and the fairy mountain and fairy land disappeared instantly, replaced by a light blue light that enveloped the entire desert in front of him. The white light is faintly visible, it seems to be not far away, but it seems to be far away in the sky.

"Is the entrance to the fairyland like this?" Long Jin'an looked at the blue light in front of him with some disappointment, frowned slightly and said, "It's really far from what I imagined!"

"Do you think that the entrance to the fairyland should be surrounded by immortal energy? If you can't see through this layer of illusion, I'm afraid that even if you meet Jiang Sanbao at that time, you will have a grudge!" Xu Changqing gave Long Jinbao a cold look, and taught him After saying a word to him, he walked towards the ancient city of Loulan in front of him and said, "Let's go! We have to rest in the ancient city of Loulan for one night, and we will enter the blue light when the sun is bright at noon tomorrow. "

Long Jinbao didn't follow Lixuan, but stood there blankly, as if he was touched by Xu Changqing's teaching, his mind was a little confused, it took him a while to think clearly, and his eyes recovered.Then, unexpectedly, he slapped himself hard, cursed and mocked himself as if blaming himself, then let go of his feet, and strode towards Xu Changqing in pursuit.

During this period of time, Long Jinbao's cultivation base has improved too fast. He hardly spent any time and experience, and his cultivation base has increased by several levels, and he has cultivated into the incarnation of a golden talent. It's just a matter of course.In addition, he was accepted as a formal disciple by Xu Changqing, fulfilling his long-cherished wish for many years, and all the benefits came easily, so that he did not practice virtue, practice Dharma but not Taoism, and his mental state and cultivation level never improved. be fascinated by the illusion.Now that Xu Changqing is waking up to his flaws, although he can't immediately improve his mental state, at least he can wake up from his own rapidly improving strength, which will help him a lot in his future cultivation.

Jefferson is a well-known archaeologist in the United States. He is very obsessed with Eastern civilization and has participated in the excavation of ancient sites in ancient India, ancient Persia and other ancient kingdoms.Since the Swede published an article showing the discovery of Loulan, the most important Western Kingdom on the ancient Silk Road, his archaeological interest has shifted again, and he began to focus on this Western Kingdom that was only recorded in ancient Chinese books.He has been to the ancient city of Loulan four times with other Kaoran expeditions, and collected a lot of ancient artifacts buried under the sand. The other times were different.

This time Jefferson was also lucky. Not only did he find some ancient Roman coins from a relic of a merchant’s house somewhere in the ancient city, which proved that the rumors that people from the ancient Roman Empire had been here were true, he also discovered A map made of unknown animal hides.On the back of this map are some strange-looking oriental astrology patterns. Based on his understanding of oriental astrology culture, he can only see that there are Big Dipper and the Luoshu River Map, which is respected by oriental religious culture. A simple topographic map.

Although this topographic map is very crude from today's point of view, with only a few simple routes and landmarks, it is enough for an archaeologist like Jefferson. For something, he felt that this time he would find what he dreamed of.

Roger is a simple French mercenary who is often hired by some archaeological expeditions to provide security for customers.Over the past few years, although he has not become rich, he has accumulated some capital, gained some reputation in the mercenary industry, and has gathered a team of five or six people under his command, which is considered to be doing well.However, he was not satisfied with it. He often went to explore and hunt for treasure with those archaeological expeditions, and he met those archaeologists who got rich overnight.However, he who always abides by the mercenary rules will often be sent away by those archaeologists after they get rich, throwing two coins at random, like a beggar.This kind of thing happened once or twice, but he often encountered the archaeologists he protected suddenly turned his face after getting rich. As time passed, his mentality became unbalanced and he came up with other ideas.

Before joining Jefferson's Loulan expedition, Roger had already found out the purpose of Jefferson's trip.His purpose was not for academic archaeology at all. He came to Loulan mainly for the treasures left by the ancient Loulan Kingdom.According to legend, a huge plague occurred in the ancient Loulan Kingdom before it disappeared. A large number of Loulan people died in the plague, and those who were alive did not dare to live in Loulan anymore. The people left the ancient city of Loulan together.It's just that the treasures accumulated by the Loulan royal family for hundreds of years have not been taken out completely. Most of them have been sealed in an unknown treasure house, and they are going to come back to collect them after they settle down.Who would have thought that these migrating people encountered a strong wind and sand on the way, and all of them died in the desert. The Loulan Kingdom disappeared, and those Loulan treasures also disappeared.
