Married and Abandoned Concubine for the Third Time: The Prince's Concubine Out of Favor

Chapter 176 Ending 23
However, the shopkeeper did not warmly welcome the guests, but turned cold and scolded for a while, obviously wanting to repel the barbarians.

Seeing Buyichen staring at him strangely, the shopkeeper said apologetically while cursing, "This man has been an old guide in the desert for generations, and he has helped some merchants like you who do silk business, walk the Silk Road, and go to the Foreign countries exchanged items. Speaking of which, his ancestors were also very capable for several generations. Several generations really walked through the desert, and their understanding of the desert was like they were the masters of the desert, and they were visiting their own mansion. However, the wheel When he arrived at this boy, not only did he not learn the skills, he also ate up the savings accumulated by his ancestors for several generations, and now he is still crazy and dreaming all day long. It is said that the Wa family was born more than 1000 years ago. The tomb keeper of the first tyrant emperor who ruled the country, he is the No.15th generation, he said he knew where the first ancient tomb was. The cowhide scroll in his hand is said to be a treasure map. Running to me, he wants to persuade me to go treasure hunting with him. This kid is in a desperate situation, just take a sketch of an unknown age, and cheat!"

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Bu Yichen was startled.As soon as the word "treasure" appeared, his brain flashed.My heart skipped a beat, and I asked confusedly, "What kind of picture is it? Can you let me see it? Maybe I can tell if it's real or not."

He had figured out what Long Li and Su Qianxue were going to do. Fu Ji once told him that in the three years since his father disappeared, he got a treasure by accident, and then recruited troops to revolt.His father also gave the Dragon Ball to Fu Ji, but Fu Ji never mentioned it to anyone, Long Li actually knew about it.

Is there something involved?If his father was really ordered to support the emperor back then, then if Long Li wanted the Dragon Ball, would it have anything to do with the treasure?Thinking of this, he couldn't hide his excitement, he already knew where to find Long Li.

Long Li was defeated and left, it was impossible to give up his dream of restoring the country.No wonder Su Qianxue would swear to follow her to the death. To break into the ancient tomb, Su Qianxue was the only strong person who knew the mechanism, and taking her with her would be twice the result with half the effort.

Seeing his expectant expression, the shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then persuaded: "Brother, it's not that I said something ugly. Even if there is a treasure, it's useless to know where the treasure is after you get the treasure map. Since this kid's ancestors Several generations broke into the desert, and no one was able to cross it again. Few of those who walked into the desert came back alive. I have been in the barbarian country for these years, and I heard that many people never came back after leaving. Even the silk merchants dare not exchange with foreign countries anymore. Moreover, the climate here has been erratic these years, and I have watched it with open eyes. From time to time, sandstorms here, obviously affected by the desert. I think the terrain of the desert has been completely out of shape , the treasure is from 1000 years ago, after 1000 years, will the treasure be buried under the desert? That's why I said that having a treasure map and knowing where the treasure is is a waste of effort."

While talking, he took the cowhide scroll from the idler who claimed to be the descendant of the tomb guard, and handed it to Bu Yichen.

Bu Yichen listened to the shopkeeper's words, but still couldn't stop him, he was determined to read the cowhide scroll.

The cowhide roll was slowly opened, and soon Bu Yichen's eyes were attracted.What he saw was a cave full of stalactites. The sunlight came in from the other side, and the stalactites on one side shone with light, creating all kinds of wonderful colors, which was extremely beautiful.Seen from a close distance, the colors in this painting have a magical appeal. He opened up the whole painting completely, and the whole painting is a cave.

The entrance of the cave is very narrow, on the upper right, the sun shines down from it, the entrance of the cave seems to be covered with golden sand, the depth of the cave is very dark, but in the deepest part, there is a faint yellow light, as if there is another thoroughfare.

When he stood in front of the painting and stared at the painting, it seemed as if he had already been in this cave. It was a wonderful and unspeakable feeling. He looked at it for a long time, and the expression of the barbarian gradually became tense. .

He looked at it for a quarter of an hour, and knew that his expression could not conceal his joy for the painting. Any experienced connoisseur could tell from his expression that he was eager to possess the painting.

That can't be blamed on his impatience, he has a quirk, that is, he likes to collect all the rare things in the world, he can judge from the age of this cowhide scroll, this is by no means a tattered sketch, this is indeed a treasure map.

He finally pointed to the painting and asked, "How much is this painting worth?"

The shopkeeper was very surprised, and after a while, he turned his head and talked with the man from the barbarian country. After talking for a while, the shopkeeper frowned and raised three fingers.

Bu Yichen didn't ask whether the three fingers referred to silver or gold, nor did he ask whether it was three taels, thirty, three hundred, three thousand, or thirty thousand.Without even frowning, he turned to Wei Chi behind him and said, "Give him 3 taels of gold!"

Hearing 3 taels of gold, the shopkeeper almost fainted from fright, he hurriedly shook his head: "Wrong, wrong, he said three copper coins..."

Bu Yichen also shook his head, "That's right, I really want to give him 3 taels of gold, and it's still a deposit. I want him to take me into the desert to find the first ancient tomb. Part of the 3 taels of gold is for He went to buy all the equipment to go into the desert. Also, I brought more than a hundred people with me. When a hundred people go into the desert, they must use camels, water bags, dry food, medicine, martial arts self-defense, etc., right? I think his ancestors are Old guide, even if he is useless and has never walked into the desert, his ancestors must have taught him some desert knowledge, even if he only learned part of it, it is far better than those of us who don't know anything at all."

The shopkeeper wanted to persuade him again, but soon, a box of gold appeared in front of the shopkeeper, and although the barbarian didn't understand, he guessed what Buyi meant and nodded desperately.

"Shopkeeper, are you willing to follow me?" Bu Yichen thought that he couldn't talk to the barbarians, so his target was the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head without even thinking about it: "I won't go. Even if I find the treasure, I don't know if there are life flowers. There are old and young in my family, so I can't afford to die. If you mean to find someone to help you communicate, I'd rather Can you ask, there are other fellows here, ask him if he is willing to take risks."

It has always been true that money can turn ghosts around.

Bu Yichen doesn't have many things, but has the most money, so what happens next can be expected.A young student from Yunjing and a boy from a barbarian country followed his magnificent team and entered the desert.

Sure enough, he did not find the wrong person. Although the barbarian did not accomplish anything as the shopkeeper said, he had already taken a fancy to the barbarian when the barbarian told them to wear hoods to protect them from the scorching sun.

When this barbarian went to buy equipment, he also had everything available. Among them, the most popular ones were anti-scorpion medicine and anti-cobra medicine. These two types are indispensable in the desert.After that, the barbarians said in one breath that they wanted to buy 250 camels.Thousands of water bags, he also agreed.

In the end, the barbarians became guides into the desert.

The moment Long Li and Su Qianxue encountered the storm was the day they marched into the desert.Long Li, Su Qianxue and the others were swept from the center of the desert to the edge of the desert, and then they walked eastward and walked into the center of the desert, while Buyichen walked westward from the edge of the tribe, and it was Long Li and Su Qianxue who walked by. He walked the road again, so when they were in the center of the desert, they rescued someone, and Long Li and Su Qianxue survived the catastrophe in the end.

Bu Yichen walked the path they had walked, but did not find any footprints at first. In the desert, the footprints would be filled with sand in a short time.But after walking for three days, they found several human corpses, as well as the corpses of camels, which the hawks were nibbling on.

When he saw the corpses of those people, Bu Yichen felt cold all over his body, and his face turned pale. Later, Wei Chi studied the hip bones of the corpses and confirmed that they were all male corpses, and the corpses were not in the shape of dragons. Only then did Bu Yichen heave a sigh of relief.

But he didn't relax completely, but asked the barbarians to find out why these people died.This barbarian is really capable. He looked at the circle-shaped desert and said based on his knowledge: "They encountered a storm! Storm? Understand? A big storm, a very big storm, even a camel can roll The kind that fly into the sky!"

The translator of Yunjing translated the words of the barbarians.

"What do you mean, the rest of the people went to heaven? Where did they go?" Bu Yichen's heartbeat was abnormal again.

The barbarian, like the old patriarch, suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Only God knows."

It’s okay if the barbarian didn’t answer this question, but when he answered, Bu Yichen lifted him up and ordered violently: “I don’t care if you know or not! I want you to take me to find them! You know there was a storm here, just You must know the direction the storm is flowing, right?"

The barbarian was terrified, he hesitated for a long time, and nodded after hearing the interpreter's explanation, "I will try my best, my father has taught me how to track storms, but I can't promise , the traces after the storm are still there after a few days, I will definitely do my best..."

After a few words, the magnificent camel team of hundreds of people set off on the road in a hurry, rushing even at night without stopping.

Bu Yichen really didn't imagine that if they stopped for a while longer to rest, what he saw later would be the bones of Long Li and Su Qianxue.Now when he thought of it, his face became extremely ugly, and even the hands that were roasting the meat trembled slightly.
