Xixia dead book

Chapter 216 The Finale of Death (6)
Makarov nodded again, "Yes, when I was separated from you and walked to the seaside, a vague memory in the back of my mind immediately appeared, and everything was in line with what happened to me decades ago. It's strange. Thick fog, endless sea, lost direction, so when I realized this, I changed course immediately."

After thinking for a while, Tang Feng suddenly asked Makarov, "Have you ever mentioned that encounter decades ago?"

Makarov shook his head first, then nodded again, and said: "I mentioned it to one person - Buldenko. At that time, he said that I must have hallucinations, and I later believed that all of this was true. Illusion, how can there be thick fog in the desert? How can there be a boundless sea?”

"Yeah, I'm thinking about this question too, but I can't figure it out..."

Just as Tang Feng finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door, "There are all kinds of wonders in Wild Wolf Valley, and there is nothing strange about it."

Tang Feng was startled, but Liang Yuan said, "It's a famous uncle!"

While talking, a bearded man of medium build and a woman in her thirties pushed open the door. Only then did Tang Feng notice that it was already bright outside. Seeing Tang Feng, the man smiled heartily and said: "Little brother, how is it? Are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, thank you uncle for saving me!"

"You're welcome, we often help people in distress in the desert."

"Oh, has anyone else been here?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

"Yes, but not many, and you can't meet a few in a year. They are all foreigners who travel and explore!"

At this time, the woman poured milk tea for everyone, and the man introduced to Tang Feng: "This is my wife."

Tang Feng greeted the woman, the couple looked very enthusiastic, but Tang Feng had to have doubts, where did the herdsmen come from in the depths of the desert, and, although their Chinese had some accents, they spoke it fairly standard, This also made Tang Feng suspicious, "Uncle's Chinese is pretty good!"

"It's okay!"

"Then is this in China or Mongolia?"

"I can't tell the difference between China and Mongolia. Our herdsmen have lived in pursuit of water and grass since ancient times. As long as I can remember, we have been herding sheep and camels in this area."

"Oh! But this area is the Gobi Desert?"

"This is the land of our ancestors, so we have lived here for generations. Although the environment here is getting worse and worse, everyone who can be moved has been moved, but we are still unwilling to leave."

"It's hard to leave the homeland, but how do you live by grazing cattle in the desert here?"

"Little brother, you don't know. In ancient times, this place used to be a place with rich water and grass. Although it has now become a desert Gobi, there are many lakes, large and small, left in the desert. We are in this area. To be nomadic is to live in search of these seas.”

Tang Feng wanted to hear some flaws in the uncle's answer, but he hasn't yet.So, Tang Feng followed Wei Ming's words and asked again: "Oh, then uncle should be very familiar with Haizi in this area?"

"I have traveled hundreds of miles, but..." Uncle Wei Ming hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Tang Feng's heart twitched suddenly, and he had a premonition that this middle-aged man was going to tell him something important.

"Little brother, to be honest, I heard a few words from you outside the door before I came in just now. Do you want to go to Wild Wolf Valley?"

Tang Feng was secretly taken aback, he quickly thought about how to answer, since Uncle Wei Ming has heard it, there is no need to hide it anymore, thinking of this, Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, we are going to the wild wolf Gu. Uncle, if you don’t ask me, I still have to ask you? Where is this? Is it inside Wild Wolf Valley? Or outside Wild Wolf Valley?”

Facing Tang Feng's series of questions, Wei Ming smiled, "Little brother, don't worry, I'm going to tell you this question. As I said just now, I have been to this place for hundreds of miles. There is only one place from Never been to..."

"Wild Wolf Valley!" Tang Feng had already guessed the meaning of Wei's name.

Uncle Wei Ming nodded emphatically, "Yes, as long as I can remember, the elders have warned us not to enter that red valley, otherwise we will never return."

"Why?" Tang Feng and Liang Yuan asked at the same time.

"It is said that the climate in the valley is changeable, the terrain is complex, and it is extremely dangerous. Even birds and animals dare not enter that valley. When I was young, I went to the valley's mouth to see it. Dare to get close there!"

It seems that this place has already left the Wild Wolf Valley? !Thinking of this, Tang Feng smiled and said, "This legend is also half true and half false!"

"Oh!" Uncle Wei Ming showed surprise on his face, "Why did you say that, little brother?"

"To be honest, we walked out of the Wild Wolf Valley!" Tang Feng deliberately brought out a bit of pride in his words.

Sure enough, Uncle Wei Ming turned pale with shock, and blurted out, "Then...then you found that..."

After the words had been spoken, Wei Ming immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth, and swallowed the last two words, but Tang Feng had already guessed those two words, so he hurriedly asked: "Do you want to ask us to find the Is it an ancient city?"

Wei Ming was stunned. He picked up his teacup, took a sip of milk tea, nodded, and asked, "You broke into Wild Wolf Valley because of that ancient city, right?"

Tang Feng felt that Wei Ming seemed to know something, but he didn't want to tell them. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to go around with Wei Ming anymore, because they didn't have much time left, "Uncle Wei Ming said bluntly Well, the five of us entered the Wild Wolf Valley with the mission of finding the ancient city of Xixia. If you know anything, we hope you can tell us, because an evil force is also trying to find the ancient city of Xixia , there is not much time left for us, we must rush to find Hanhai Micheng before them."

When Tang Feng said the words "Han Hai Mi City" sincerely, Uncle Wei's body moved slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Little brother, you don't look like bad people, I treat you I don’t hide anything, the reason why I said that the Wild Wolf Valley is extremely dangerous is to scare you and prevent you from entering the Wild Wolf Valley, but what I said is not nonsense to deceive you.”

Tang Feng nodded, "We have already experienced the danger and strangeness of Wild Wolf Valley, so of course we know that you are not just talking about it."

"The reason why I said that to you is to faithfully perform my duty." Uncle Wei Ming said.

"Fulfill your duty?" Tang Feng, Liang Yuan and Makarov were all surprised.

"Yes!" Wei Ming looked around at the three of them, and then slowly said: "This starts with my surname. I already talked about my surname to this old gentleman and this girl yesterday."

"I already know that your surname is the surname of the Western Xia royal family."

"Yes, I am a descendant of the Xixia royal family. Our people have shouldered an important mission since they were born - to prevent people from entering the Wild Wolf Valley; later, my ancestors suffered a lot in order to protect the secrets of the ancient city. Difficult, coupled with the fact that the Wolf Valley is not suitable for living, so I moved out of the Wild Wolf Valley, so my ancestors compiled a series of terrible legends to make outsiders fear the Wild Wolf Valley and dare not enter the Wild Wolf Valley casually. However, These legends are not groundless..."

"So what I said just now is half true and half false is correct. Not all people who enter the Wild Wolf Valley will never return as you said. Didn't we come out again?" Tang Feng asked back.

Uncle Wei Ming shook his head, "Let me ask you, where did you enter Wild Wolf Valley from and where did you go?"

"We entered the Wild Wolf Valley from the entrance of the valley full of corpses that you mentioned just now, and walked to a ghost city, which is the Yadan landform. Then our car caught fire suddenly, and we encountered a strange thick fog, and we got separated. Now, I finally came to you!"

After listening to Tang Feng's narration, Uncle Wei Ming laughed dryly twice, and said: "Little brother, with all due respect, you have only walked for a short distance, and even strictly speaking, the distance you have walked cannot be counted as a Wolf Valley!"

"Ah—" The three of them turned pale with shock.

"Then where is Wild Wolf Valley?" Tang Feng asked.

"In a broad sense, the dozens of large and small valleys in this red mountain range can be called Wild Wolf Valley, but the real Wild Wolf Valley is the most important, weirdest, and most frightening wild wolf valley. Wolf Valley can only be entered after passing through the devil city, which is what you call the Yadan landform." Wei Ming explained.

"So that's the case. It seems that we just explored the way, and we haven't even entered the gate of Wild Wolf Valley!" Liang Yuan said disappointedly.

After listening to Wei Ming's introduction just now, Tang Feng and Makarov realized the seriousness of the problem. They had not yet entered the important core area of ​​Wild Wolf Valley. What terrible encounters will happen in the core area of ​​Wolf Valley?

Tang Feng didn't dare to think about it any further. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "From what Uncle said, you must have entered Wild Wolf Valley?"

Wei Ming nodded, then shook his head again, "I've been in Wild Wolf Valley before, but it's similar to yours. I dare not go any further when I get to Devil City, but..."

"what?"

"It's just that I have entered more times than you. I also walked to that sea after getting lost."

Uncle Wei's words shocked everyone, "So, you know that Haizi?"

"Of course, not only do I know it, but I've been there several times, and that's the farthest place I've ever entered Wild Wolf Valley."

"What's that place?"

Hearing this question, Wei Ming hesitated for a while before saying, "That place is hard to say, because it's not a specific place."

The three of Tang Feng were confused by Wei Ming's words, Wei Ming saw their doubts, so he explained slowly: "This is because that Haizi is erratic."

"Erratic?" Tang Feng was even more confused.

"Yes, this lake is big and small, erratic, sometimes appearing in this place, sometimes appearing in another place, sometimes the water surface is very wide, and sometimes disappears without a trace, but in general , this Haizi will not float out of the Wild Wolf Valley." Wei Ming explained.

"Disappeared without a trace?" Tang Feng couldn't believe it, "Did it turn into countless little Haizi?"

"You can think so. In short, this is the most incredible phenomenon in Wild Wolf Valley. As for why this phenomenon occurs, I can't explain it!"

Wei Ming's words reminded Tang Feng of the previous nightmare. The woman in the mask had warned him that the Spring of Rebirth was sometimes big and sometimes small, the big one spewed out the vast sea, boundless, and the small one was as quiet as pearls, without a trace.Thinking of this, Tang Feng asked Wei Ming again, "Does this Haizi have a name?"

Wei Ming thought for a while, and said, "I heard from the elders that this Haizi seems to be called—Wangshengquan!"

"Ah—" Tang Feng was shocked again, and Liang Yuan and Makarov also cried out, "It's exactly the same name as you heard in that nightmare!"

"Oh, have you heard of this name?" Wei Ming asked.

Tang Feng didn't know how to answer. After being stunned for a while, Tang Feng asked again: "Uncle, when we found that Haizi, the whole Haizi was shrouded in thick fog, which was strange, so we couldn't block the real face of the whole Haizi. Have you seen it?" Is it the whole picture of Haizi?"

"Yes, that Haizi is very strange. The old people once said that it is rare to see the true face once or twice when I go to the spring of death ten times. I have been to the spring of death several times and it is shrouded in thick fog. Only one time when I was about to leave When the fog suddenly lifted, I had the opportunity to see the true face of the past life spring. The vast water surface is boundless, except for the red mountains in the distance, some green can be vaguely seen on the other side of the vast water surface, I think Walked over, walked to the green place, but it was getting late, and ... and I was worried about the legend."

"legend?"

"Yes. There is a terrible legend about the spring of death. It is said that in Xixia, the Wolf Valley was the only place with abundant water and grass within hundreds of miles. Our ancestors had a secret mission and stationed in the valley. They built a magnificent Cities thrived from generation to generation. When the Dan Dynasty declined, the idyllic life ended. Our ancestors fought against Genghis Khan's army in the Wild Wolf Valley. They used the complex terrain and changeable weather in the valley to defeat them time and time again. The invading Mongolian iron cavalry even caused Genghis Khan to fall from his horse in the valley and was injured, and later died of serious illness! Our ancestors still persisted here for decades after the fall of Xixia.”

Hearing this, Tang Feng was secretly surprised. This legend was highly consistent with the situation they had already grasped. Wei Ming paused and continued: "Later, the Mongolian Khan was furious and sent [-] troops all the way from Taniguchi. Go to the mouth of the valley full of corpses and enter the Wild Wolf Valley. Because of the years of war, most of the party members were killed or injured. In addition to the blockade of the Mongolian army, the valley was blocked from the outside world and supplies were scarce. The disaster of party members finally came. Hundreds of thousands The Mongolian army learned the previous experience and lessons, and quickly attacked the spring of death. The party members pinned their last hopes on the spring of death. This is the last barrier leading to the ancient city. The most terrifying part of the spring of death is the shroud In the thick fog above, the Mongol army came to the Spring of Death in the thick fog. This time, their commander was a cautious person. He was afraid of being attacked by the party members in the fog, so he withdrew the army to the outside of the valley first, and then Sow many spies to stay by the spring of death, pay attention to the changes here, and once the fog clears, they will notify the army to advance in time; We sent out troops in the fog, and when they reached Taniguchi, they were all killed, and the last elite of the party members were lost!"

"No wonder Taniguchi left so many bones!" Tang Feng sighed.

Wei Ming also said: "But even so, the Mongolian army still couldn't cross the Xiangsheng Spring. The fog lingered for a long time. There were several times when the Mongolian army arrived, the Xiangsheng Spring was shrouded in thick fog again. The last time , when the Mongolian army was once again shrouded in thick fog, they lost their way on the way to retreat out of the valley. One hundred thousand troops were dizzy in the Wild Wolf Valley, and could not turn out of the valley. For three days and two nights, they died of hunger and thirst. There are countless soldiers, and just when the army's morale was about to collapse, a miracle appeared. This is the miracle of the Mongolian army, but it is the misfortune of the party members! The end of the party members is coming, and just when the Mongolian army is about to collapse, they come again When they reached the water's edge, the hungry and thirsty soldiers ignored the commander's stop and drank the water from the spring of death. As a result, the water was not only fine, but saved the lives of the Mongolian army. I wanted to withdraw from the Wild Wolf Valley, but at this moment, the fog that had been covering the Spring of Rebirth suddenly dissipated. It was really Changshengtian who helped the Mongolian army. Their commander was determined to wipe out the ancient city with one effort, so he ordered the troops to divide into three groups. The left and right roads marched along the water bank, and the cavalry in the middle road waded through the water!"

"So the water in the Lai Ping Sheng Spring is not deep?" Tang Feng immediately captured valuable information.

"I don't know if the water in the spring of death is deep or not. The legend left by our ancestors is like this. The Mongolian army divided into three groups and finally invaded the last piece of land of the Dangxiang people. The Dangxiang people were finally slaughtered. Only a small part People escaped the catastrophe, and it is said that the Mongolian army built a terrible skeleton city with the bones of the Dangxiang people in order to prevent the Dangxiang people from occupying the Wild Wolf Valley again."

"Skeleton City?!" Tang Feng exclaimed in surprise, he immediately thought of the Jingguan he saw in Qianhu Town, but what would Skeleton City look like?The Jingguan in Qianhu Town is far from reaching the scale of a "city". Could it be... Could it be a giant Jingguan?Or it's all just a legend.

Wei Ming looked very calm, "Yes, that's what the old people said, a huge skeleton city, the skeleton city blocked the access to the ancient city, from now on, my ancestors can no longer enter that ancient city, everything is lost In the yellow sand."

"So you moved out of Wild Wolf Valley." Liang Yuan said.

Wei Ming nodded heavily.Tang Feng suddenly thought of something, "The Skeleton City has blocked the passage, so...then we won't be able to enter the ancient city!"
