Chapter 380 Disappointment!

After a night's rest, Fang Ming and the others didn't think of any good solution, and finally they could only use the most primitive method to carry on with the load. At this time, if there were camels, it would be the best thing, but it was completely wrong. possible things.

The speed was very slow. In the next three days, the three of them slowly "moved" forward, as if they were ants.

According to Niu Ping's research, the sand is flowing, and it should be "blown" outward from the place where the imperial tomb is located. Theoretically speaking, it must be that the further you go in and the closer the place is to the imperial mausoleum, the stronger the wind and sand, so although it is hard at this time, the three of them still insist on walking in, gritting their teeth.

"Hoohoo!"

Fang Ming was panting as he walked, his face was already tightly wrapped, including the clothes on his body, but the wind and sand were too strong, and the strong wind slammed the sand on his face and body, making a "crack". The sound of "snap" followed by bursts of pain as if being hit by a small stone. If it happened to hit a key part, it would be even worse, it was really painful!
However, now that he has opened his bow and has no arrows to turn back, he can only grit his teeth and move forward!
One step at a time, Fang Ming and the others seemed to use up all their strength every time they took a step, and even though they were already carrying heavy things, they still couldn't stand firmly under the blowing wind and sand. Swaying left and right, there is no way to smoothly maintain the balance of the body.

In the end, Fang Ming, Niu Ping, and Zhao Zhuzi simply squeezed together, and even tied each other together with ropes, using this method to maintain balance.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and Fang Ming gradually discovered that the sand under his feet began to "flow", like water being blown by the wind.

Master!

Really a master!
Seeing such a situation, Fang Ming couldn't help giving Niu Ping a thumbs up.

It was because he knew from the very beginning that the direction of the imperial tomb was determined by the line generated by the flow of sand, so he was able to find it here.

As for the groups of people I met before, although I don’t know why they found the general location, they couldn’t find it in the end—at least they haven’t found their footprints yet, this is their ability!
Niu Ping has been in and out of the desert for decades, and the experience he has accumulated is unimaginable to others. If it is here now, ordinary people as long as they are not blind can see that the sand is flowing, but what about tens of miles away?Can you tell the direction of its flow just by looking at the sand dunes?We must know that in such a distance, the flow of sand is basically static to the naked eye, how can we tell the difference?
Not to mention being affected by other winds, the difficulty is even higher!

At the beginning, Fang Ming didn't even know what Niu Ping was doing. In the end, he had to observe for a long time, especially because his memory was amazing, and he was able to remember the situation of the road he had traveled, so he guessed what Niu Ping was doing. .However, if he was asked to judge the direction of the sand by himself, although he could not tell, the accuracy would definitely be greatly affected.

"Old Niu, it looks like we should be arriving soon!"

Fang Ming yelled loudly, there is already a lot of wind and sand, and there is a whining sound, otherwise it would not be heard at all.His judgment is not without reason.

First of all, such a continuous strong wind here must be caused by the surrounding environment, that is to say, the reason why this place has wind all year round must be caused by the surrounding geographical environment. It was used to build the imperial mausoleum, but the construction of the imperial mausoleum can't be done just by digging a hole, right?

There must be a lot of workers, and a lot of building materials, right?
Forget about people, what about materials such as stones?
Sand is everywhere in the desert, but this does not mean that there are stones everywhere in the desert. At least there are sands in the distance from the several companies that have just walked, and not a single stone can be seen, so the stones of the imperial mausoleum must be obtained from other places. If the area where the real imperial tomb is located is too large, there is no way to transport the materials in, and the construction will be a problem. That's why Fang Ming judged that the imperial tomb - if there is one, it should be not far away.

Niu Ping nodded and said: "Yes, it should not be far away, otherwise the construction of the imperial mausoleum will not be possible at all! It seems that we still have no way to reach the destination today, let's stop first."

When looking forward, Niu Ping found that the sand blown up by the wind was too big, the whole world was gray, and his vision was greatly affected, and he couldn't see what was too far away. .

One of the biggest principles of walking in the desert is safety first. Since you can’t see anything in front of you now, don’t go there. At least you have to rest before you go. Only in this way can you have enough physical strength to deal with what may happen at any time. things.

That's why Niu Ping made such a decision.

In the desert, Niu Ping is the most experienced person, so he is also the most authoritative person. Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi will never be brave when it comes to this problem, so when Niu Ping said that they would camp, they immediately stopped and started to do it. Prepare, the tent is too big because of the wind and sand. After trying a few times, I found that there is no way to erect it. I simply gave up. The three of them simply found a place that is relatively sheltered from the wind and got into the tent together as before. and lay down together.

"No, we have to be careful."

As soon as he settled down, Fang Ming immediately shook his head.

"what happened?"

Zhao Zhuzi was as strong as an ox, but the strong wind and sand had tossed him enough that he almost didn't want to move after lying down.

The wind and sand was too big, so even with a special stove, there was no way to start a fire, but the water and compressed biscuits brought by the three of them were still sufficient, which was not a problem.

"Damn, with such a big sandstorm, there will be an imperial tomb here? Impossible, it is impossible to dig a hole or something! Just digging the sandstorm will bury the hole!"

Zhao Zhu cursed while stuffing biscuits into his mouth.

However, he might just complain, but Fang Ming and Niu Ping were stunned, and even couldn't help but glance at each other.

"This... is indeed a problem."

Fang Ming judged that the place where the three people are now is not far from the imperial mausoleum is based on the fact that if the wind is too strong, there is no way to transport the materials used to build the imperial mausoleum, but he did not think of the problem Zhao Zhuzi mentioned!

And this is a big problem!

With the ancient construction technology, it is impossible to imagine building an imperial mausoleum that is too high on the ground like it is now. More or less must be dug underground. In addition, Chinese people have always had the concept of burrowing into the ground for safety. Therefore, there must be an underground palace in the imperial mausoleum, but how can the pit be dug under such a large wind and sand situation?

If it can't be done, how can there be an imperial tomb here?

There is no royal tomb here?

Both Fang Ming and Niu Ping showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and for a while, neither of them had any interest in talking.

After working hard for so long, I didn't expect such a result.

Niu Ping paused for a while, and suddenly thought of a question: "I think it's not that the people we met before have never been here, but they saw the wind and sand here is too big, and they thought it was impossible for the imperial tomb to appear, so I just left."

Fang Ming sighed, what Niu Ping said was probably the truth.The other party has a map in his hand, and it is much easier to find this place than himself, so it is very likely that the other party has arrived a long time ago, and it is not even the first time he has come here.After they arrived here, they found that the wind and sand were too big, and it was impossible to carry out large-scale construction with the ancient architectural level, so they decided that there could be no imperial tombs here, so they didn't go deeper.This can also solve why when they met those people before, they went in the opposite direction to themselves!

Niu Ping shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Before we thought they were walking in the wrong direction and didn't know how to follow the direction of the sand flow, but now we think we were wrong."

Niu Ping was quite frustrated, but this time he was so wrong, he went in the completely opposite direction!It doesn't matter if you are wrong, but what if the other party is right?That means that the other party found the imperial mausoleum earlier than people like himself, and even if they rushed there by that time, the day lily would be cold.

Another problem!
And this question is even more depressing!
At the beginning, Zhao Zhuzi didn't understand what happened, but he figured it out after a while.

"This...isn't it..."

Grabbing several times on his forehead fiercely, Zhao Zhuzi also became depressed. After tossing and tossing for so long, it turned out to be such a result?
However, this is very likely to be a result.

Fang Ming felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, as if all his strength had been drained at once.However, although this is very possible, although it is disappointing, it still has to be faced.

Trying to cheer himself up, Fang Ming said: "Old Niu, since we have come here, we can't go back without reaching the end, right? In my opinion, after we rest, we should continue to walk forward and see What's going on, let's see if there is an imperial tomb."

Niu Ping was quite disappointed. His ancestors had been looking for this imperial tomb for generations, including himself, and he had been looking for it all his life. He thought he had found it before, but he didn't expect such a result!
But he knew that what Fang Ming said was not wrong at all. Although it seems impossible to have an imperial tomb in this place, since he has already come here, let's continue to look forward.

Besides, if you are going in the wrong direction now and others are going in the right direction, then it is too late to turn around now, and you can only go one way to the dark!
"Okay, you're right. After we rest, we'll move on and see what's going on."
