Catching wind and shadow

Because of Sa Di Peng's commotion, everyone's low mood, which had been somewhat discouraged, showed signs of activity. Seeing that Sa Di Peng's life was not in danger, everyone simply gathered together to discuss the next action plan.

Hu Bayi listed two options for everyone. The first one is to go back now and carefully plan the daily rations of water and food. It will not be a problem to at least last until Xiye Ancient City.

The second option is to bravely move forward and find Jingjue Ancient City with determination. If Jingjue Ancient City is successfully found, and if there is still water in the city, then everyone will just go around the gate of hell.

Professor Chen believes that since he has engaged in archaeology, he is ready to devote himself to it. But there are so many young people in the team, including people like Xiao Ran who are not archaeological team members themselves. As the initiator, he must serve everyone

You are responsible for your own life and cannot have your own way.

But the current situation is that although it is safe to return, it would be a pity after having traveled for so long; but even if we reach the ancient city of Jingjue, who knows whether the underground water veins have dried up or changed their routes? So he wants to hear everyone's opinions first.

The fat man was the first to raise his hands to vote: "You said what did we find all the way here? Sand, ants, mummies, empty tombs, if this goes on I will have to dry them all. I think we will wait until the sun goes down.

Just turn around right away and go back to Xiye Ancient City to get some water and take a shower. It will be so enjoyable."

Hu Bayi asked if anyone agreed with Fatty's proposal. Hao Aiguo thought for a while and expressed his agreement first, thinking that with this experience, he would be better prepared next time.

Ye Yixin looked at Sa Di Peng, who was still unconscious, and timidly raised his hand. Chu Jian saw Ye Yixin raising his hand and followed suit without hesitation. Xiao Ran could see it all the way. Chu Jian seemed to have such a fondness for Ye Yixin.

It makes sense, so it’s not surprising that he has no brains to support it.

Those who hold the attitude of "come and come" and think that if they miss this time, they may not be able to reach the current place next time, including Professor Chen, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and his second uncle, and of course Xiao Ran.

Seeing that the majority of people decided to move forward, the fat man slapped his leg and said, "We can't stop some comrades from expressing their opinions just because their minds are wandering, right?"

He ran to the dizzy Sa Di Peng and asked loudly: "Xiao Sa! Tell me, do you agree to continue walking or go back?"

Sa Di Peng squinted his eyes and muttered: "No more... we can't continue..."

The fat man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Look! Let's compete this time..."

"I can't continue drinking...I can't drink anymore..."

Before he could say anything, Sa Di Peng said the complete words. Seeing everyone suppressing laughter, the fat man acted rogue: "Anyway, he said he won't continue, no matter what it is, he won't continue.

One to one!”

The only one who has not expressed his opinion now is the old cunning An Liman. Xiao Ran is relieved now, because An Liman will just toss a coin to decide the route.

Sure enough, when Hu Bayi asked An Liman to express his attitude, An Liman proposed to hand over the decision-making power to Hu Da.

He took out his tattered blanket, knelt on the ground with his palms in the air as before, closed his eyes and began to mutter something.

Ten minutes seemed to have passed. Although An Liman stopped talking, he still frowned and remained motionless. The fat man said impatiently: "Is this still over? Isn't Mr. Hu Da not at home?"

Xiao Ran was also bored, so he took out a five-cent coin and said: "Fat brother, maybe Hu will turn into a coin and flip it heads or tails to decide the path ahead. Why don't we try it first, if the word is up, we will continue walking.

If the painting faces upward, you will go back the way you came."

Fatty felt that idleness was nothing but idleness, so he agreed to Xiao Ran's suggestion. Xiao Ran smiled secretly and said, "I'll show you something fun!"

He tossed the coin high. It was said that he was not far from Cishan now. The coin would not show heads or tails, but would stick straight into the sand. He thought happily, waiting for everyone to be surprised when they saw this wonderful scene.

call.

The coin fell to the ground with a "pop", and the picture was facing up.

The fat man clapped his hands: "Haha! We can retreat at night!"

Xiao Ran was confused by this scene and quickly waved his hand: "Don't take it seriously! How can it be such a joke! We are just playing around!"

He put away the coins and ran up to the top of the sand dune. He looked around carefully, but he couldn't see the black line where the black magnetic mountain should appear on the horizon.

Haven't we reached the right point yet where we can easily see the dark shadow of Cishan where the sky and the earth meet?

He turned around anxiously, only to see everyone under the rainproof cloth looking at him in surprise. An Liman pointed at him, his eyes full of confusion.

He ran down the sand dune quickly, returned to everyone, and asked hesitantly: "What's the situation? What do you want me to do?"

Hu Bayi touched his chin and said: "An Liman said that the oracle told him to follow your instructions..."

Xiao Ran was confused by this statement. He turned to An Liman: "Listen to me? What kind of drama are you acting in? Do you think I look like Hu Da?"

An Liman also shook his head helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense! Hu Da didn't ask me to act! God said that I must listen to you. If I talk nonsense, I will ask you to go back..."

Xiao Ran was completely blind now, how should he listen to him?

"Honorable Bayan, the voice of the soul tells me..." the soul-locking spirit bead spoke.

Xiao Ran was upset and said to him: "Don't talk about the voices of those souls for now. Tell them that we will move to our homes at night and not ride on their heads..."

"No, no, no, the noble Bayan is a new soul, furious, greedy, unwilling, like a hungry wolf that missed the lamb and fell into the deep valley..."

Could it be that those tomb robbers just died in Jingjue Ancient City?

"In which direction are they..."

After listening to the words of Soul-locking Lingzhu, Xiao Ran got up and walked to the sand dune. Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and An Liman followed.

"Let's try walking in that direction, it should be the right direction." Xiao Ran said.

He is not completely sure now, but now other than returning the same way, he can only try his luck.

A gust of wind blew by, throwing yellow sand all over the sky. Everyone quickly returned to the camp site and took all protective measures. No matter which direction we headed tonight, we had to survive the sandstorm first.

This sandstorm did not last very long. After about an hour, the wind slowly subsided.

The sand dune that had just been climbed had moved a few inches to the side at this time, and the camp had to be adjusted again. Xiao Ran climbed onto the sand dune again and looked in the direction mentioned by the Soul-locking Lingzhu.

Under the sun, a vague black line appeared at the junction of heaven and earth. He suddenly became excited and quickly called Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi to come up.

Hu Bayi held the telescope and focused it carefully, and excitedly handed the telescope to the other two people.

It was a black mountain range, like a black dragon resting on a pile of gold coins. In the middle of the black mountain range, there was a small depression, which must have been the valley in Walter's notes.

An Liman also climbed up the hill and took a look around. He pointed at the sand not far away and said, "Saxaul ammodendron! The Ziduan River is flowing forward. The wind and sand just now caused the saxaul to come out!"

At this time, everyone looked at Xiao Ran with a bit of inexplicable admiration in their eyes.
