The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 35 Ghost City
I didn't understand half of what she said, but Wang Zehai was well-informed, and immediately answered, "Maybe it's some treasure thief."

Han Zitong nodded.

The so-called treasure robber gangs are actually similar to tomb robbers.However, tomb robbers generally dig tombs to steal the funerary objects in the tomb, while treasure robbers like to find some ancient ruins and steal the antiques inside.

Could this person be a treasure thief?

Immediately afterwards, Han Zitong said: "Of course, there is a second situation." She took out a pen and clicked a dot on the map, saying: "This is where we are now." She pointed Pointing to that point, and then, he moved his finger to the front left, stopped on an irregular circle, and said: "This is an oasis, the closest oasis to us. According to what he said before, he was in the desert after being injured. After crawling for a day and a night, based on the distance, his ancient well might be in an oasis."

Wang Zehai nodded and said, "Well, yes, I heard that this oasis was previously owned by people."

"Yes, but that happened decades ago." After all, the location of the oasis is too remote. After the economy developed, the compatriots in XJ sold both fruits and jade. Stay in the oasis again.They moved out of the desert one after another, and lived in semi-desert areas with relatively good conditions. Therefore, this oasis has long been deserted.

Although no one was there, the previous houses were still there, so there must be a well there.

The ancient ruins are not easy to find, so we decided to go to the location of the oasis first.

Wang Zehai is a very righteous person. He is the boss this time, but he didn't stop us from trying to save people. On the contrary, he strongly supported us. He was covered in flesh and had the weakest physical strength, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

This reminds me of one thing.

When I was working in the previous company, a rich second generation came to me one day, probably because my family wanted him to exercise, so I got him to stay in our small company.Driving a BMW to and from get off work every day, we eat boxed lunches worth eight yuan, and he gets about a hundred yuan for a meal.

At that time, my colleagues in the company scolded him vigorously behind his back. They couldn’t get used to people driving BMWs, and they couldn’t get used to the good food. One time they were scolding, but I ran into him, so they dragged me to scold him.

I was a stubborn person, and I refused to follow the crowd at the time, because the second-generation rich man was actually pretty good. He often helped my colleagues when they had difficulties, and even helped me move things.People have their own money and spend their own money, why are we jealous?
Just because of this, my colleagues pushed me aside and asked me if I wanted to flatter others.

In fact, sometimes, blindly hating the rich will only make yourself look more hateful. When you hate others, it is actually just something you want but can't get.

Most people should really hate those who are rich and unkind, instead of blindly hating all people who live better than themselves.

We ate something and started our night walk.It's around [-]:[-] pm, and the sun sets late in the desert. If it's in Shenzhen, it might already be dark.At this moment, a round of red sunset in the sky is halfway down, and the magnificent sunset glow stretches like a splendor spreading across the sky.

Well, there is no smoke and no long rivers here, but at least there are deserts and sunsets. I don't read much, so I can only think of this sentence.

We simply rested for a few hours during the day, so it was not too tiring to drive this night. According to the plan, we should be able to reach the oasis around six o'clock tomorrow morning.

Of course, this is just a plan, and plans can never keep up with changes.

When it was completely dark, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply. If people peeled off their skin in the sun during the day, it would be so cold at night that they wished they could wear more jackets.We didn't plan to go on a night trip, so we didn't carry thick clothes at all, only sleeping bags, but we couldn't just wear sleeping bags on the road, right?So at night, everyone is too cold.Han Xu was originally sitting on a camel, but in the end he couldn't help the cold wind, so he jumped off the camel and walked by himself, so that he could warm his body.

Not long after Han Xu came down, an accident happened.

He seemed to be out to play, bouncing and walking in the front, Han Zitong would tell him to wait a while from time to time, but this kid didn't listen at all.Fortunately, the desert is open, and we turned on a powerful searchlight, so although Han Xu jumped a little far away, he was still within our sight range. Except for Han Zitong who was a little nervous, no one paid much attention.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Han Xu's figure suddenly stopped, and then, he suddenly yelled.

Hearing that cry, it was like seeing something extremely exciting.

"Ah... my sister, my sister, come and see!" He shouted excitedly, and waved to us bouncingly.We were tired from walking, and we were all a bit depressed. Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but wonder: What did this kid see, so excited?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace.After walking to Han Xu's side, the scene in front of them made everyone dumbfounded.

I couldn't help but said, "Boss, am I hallucinating?"

It stands to reason that it is night now, and even if we have searchlights in our hands, the visible range is limited.But at this moment, our field of vision has become extremely broad, because under the sand dunes in front of us, there is a stretch of buildings in the style of the ancient Western Regions!

That's right, it is a large group of buildings, lit with dim candlelight, and you can't see the end at a glance. The largest dome-shaped building is obviously a place like a royal palace.

The entire ancient city is silent in the night, looking ancient and mysterious, and the light dotted in it lights up the night of the ancient city.

No, this is not normal!
Even if I'm an uninformed person, I know this is definitely not normal.

This is the desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert. Even if there are ancient relics, it is impossible for such a large area to be completely preserved, and there are ancient relics with fire!
After I finished speaking, Tan Ren replied: "It's not a hallucination."

Wang Zehai swallowed his saliva, and speculated: "Could it be a mirage?" After finishing speaking, he immediately vetoed it himself: "A mirage is related to the sun, how can there be a mirage at night? Damn, it won't hit ghosts, right?" , He immediately turned his attention to Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren, after all, they are experts in these weird things.

Compared to our shock, Han Xu was very excited and shouted: "Wow, there is a castle, sister, is there a dragon in it, let's kill the dragon and rescue the princess, okay?"

For his innocence, what an embarrassing word.You know, there are only two words in my mind right now: ghost town.

In the middle of the night, such a thing popped up in the desert, didn't it hit a ghost?
After Wang Zehai asked, Tan Ren touched his chin, he and Zhou Xuanye looked at each other, and they seemed to have an eye.These two are studying art together, and they are brothers and sisters. They should have been together for many years, and they have a perfect understanding.

Then Zhou Xuanye said: "It may be a ghost market, everyone, don't go to the front, go around."

Ghost markets have been described many times in the classic ghost novel "Liaozhai".Ghost City, also known as Mountain City.In the barren mountains and wild mountains, roads and houses suddenly appear, and the flow of traders and people is like a riot in a city, and the lights are panicked. After a certain period of time, it suddenly disappears and returns to its original state.This phenomenon is called the ghost market. It is said that the ghosts from the underground return to the mortal world and reminisce about their life in the mortal world.

If a living person bumps into a ghost market unintentionally, there is no need to be afraid, because they will not harm anyone, but the only thing to pay attention to is that the living person should not enter the ghost market, because once you enter, you may not be able to come out.

However, Zhou Xuanye's reminder was too late, because the excited Han Xu had already rushed towards the 'castle', ready to save his princess.

Fairy tales really kill people!

I was shocked, and because I was relatively close to Han Xu, I subconsciously rushed to drag him.But what we are in now is a sand dune. When I pulled it, Han Xu didn't catch it. Instead, he fell down and rolled down the sand dune.

"Tian Gu!" Zhou Xuanye called out.Immediately afterwards, I heard Tan Ren's exasperated voice: "Damn it, pull them up quickly." Boss, it turns out that you still care about me.Tan Ren immediately added another sentence: "If I die here, I am not considered a work-related accident."

Well, I take back what I just said.

Fortunately, the sand dune is not too steep. Halfway through the roll, I almost stopped and looked down. If I went down another 20 meters, I would roll into a ghost city.Now that I have entered from the distance, I can see the dark city towers and streets, there is no one in it, it is dead silent and gloomy.

I felt shabby and felt like climbing up, but at this moment, Han Xu came to drag me: "Zhu Tiangu, does it hurt when you fall?"

I thought to myself, if it wasn't for your kid running around, would I be able to fall?But facing Han Xu, I couldn't lose my temper. Seeing that he was very nervous, I comforted him, "It doesn't hurt, hurry up, let's go back." Han Xu nodded. Although he looked at the 'castle' reluctantly, he still Turned around and walked back.
