2531. Chapter 2531 Sangdan Desert
The next morning, Ye Qing and the two elders of the Yelu family left the stronghold together, and Yelu Ying was accompanied. In order not to attract the attention of the Wanyan family, no one else traveled. The people who stayed, led by Helian Tiehua, went to find out the news about the Wanyan family in two groups.
The news of Ye Qing leaving was also very hidden. Even the few people in the World Alliance knew about it, and only the few people who Ye Qing could trust knew about it. Therefore, it is basically impossible for the Wanyan family to know about it. Besides, Helian Tiehua led people to stare at the Wanyan family, and now the Wanyan family has no chance to deal with Ye Qing.
Last night, Ye Qing had already kept every route in the map in mind. The two elders could not tell the situation on the map one, two, and three, so Ye Qing could only try it. After all, Ye Qing had entered many tombs and had experience. Moreover, Ye Qing's current physical strength, even the power of the unity of man and nature, could not hurt him. Ye Qing could not hurt Ye Qing at all, for the ordinary mechanisms in the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family.
The Yelu family’s ancestral tomb is located in the north of Meng District, a place called Wuzhou. The Meng District is still the territory of Hongmeng Qidu, so it is naturally more convenient for Ye Qing to do things here.
I took Helian Tiehua's private plane to Wuzhou. Someone had already arranged a vehicle here, so Ye Qing and the others drove straight to the outside of Wuzhou City.
When Ye Qing arrived at Wuzhou, he realized that Wuzhou was actually a city built next to the desert. Outside Wuzhou is the famous Sangerdan Desert. The Sangerdan Desert is very wide-ranging, and because of the strong wind and sand and the soft sand layer, it is extremely difficult to build a road. Therefore, in today's Sangerdan Desert, there is only one road running through the east and west. If pedestrians deviate from this Sangerdan Highway, it is very dangerous. Once they get lost in the desert, the possibility of survival is very small.
Moreover, desert robbers often appear in the Sangerdan Desert. These people live in the desert for many years and are extremely familiar with the terrain in the desert. After entering the desert, they are the territory of these people. They are elusive in the desert and hijack passers-by, which is one of the biggest harms in the desert. The nearby police have surrounded them several times, but because of their unfamiliarity with the terrain, they have returned in vain several times, which has made the robbers in the desert even more rampant.
There are two major dangers in the Sangerdan Desert. Desert robbers are one, and the other is the countless desert wolves in the desert. There are many oasis in the Sangerdan Desert, which is more suitable for the survival of wolves. The food in the oasis is not enough to maintain the growing wolf pack, so the wolves will go hunting nearby. In the past, they only attacked the cattle and sheep of nearby herders, but later gradually developed to attack humans, causing great trouble to people living nearby.
When Ye Qing and the others arrived here, they had already found someone to find out the situation nearby. To be honest, Ye Qing didn't expect that the Yelu family's ancestral tomb would be buried in this desert. After all, it was the former royal family. The ancestral tomb of the royal family must choose Feng Shui treasure land. How could it be buried in this place?
However, after Ye Qing learned about the history of the Yelu family and the history of Wuzhou, he felt relieved. The Yelu family itself started from the Mongolian District. Wuzhou was once the most important guardian city of the Yelu royal family. Moreover, a thousand years ago, the Sangerdan Desert had not spread to this place, so it was normal to choose the ancestral tomb here. However, the desert gradually swallowed up the place where the ancestral tomb was located, which did not mean that they had chosen a good place before.
According to the direction pointed by the two elders, the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family should be about 300 kilometers east of Wuzhou, a place called Alagu Mountain. According to the map, the vicinity of Alagu Mountain is also a relatively complete oasis. Because Alagu Mountain is relatively high, there is no such high mountain in the entire Sangerdan Desert. The top of Alagu Mountain is constantly snowing, and the snow melts into water and flows down. A lake is formed around Alagu Mountain, surrounding Alagu Mountain in the middle. Therefore, the vegetation here is very complete and the scenery is very beautiful. However, few people are willing to get close to this place. According to the legend of Wuzhou, Alagu Mountain is an ominous place with devils in it, so no one is willing to come here at all.
"There is a devil in Aragu Mountain?" Ye Qing put down the map, looked at the two elders next to him, and said strangely: "Is this legend true or false?"
"Ask me, who will I ask!" The two elders spread their hands at the same time, and this reaction immediately stunned Ye Qing.
"Aren't you two guarding the tomb in Aragu Mountain? Don't you know what's going on on the mountain?" Ye Qingqi said.
"We are guarding the tomb, but we don't have to hide at the gate of the tomb." The tall elder said: "Although we guard the tomb here, we are all guarding a stronghold outside the Aragu Mountain. This stronghold is a must-pass place to the Aragu Mountain. If someone comes here, we will follow us quietly. If the person comes to find the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family, we will drive him away. As for the situation on the Aragu Mountain, we have never been there, so naturally we don't know!"
"Is that true?" Ye Qing took a deep breath and said strangely: "According to what you said, all those who have visited Aragu Mountain have been driven away by you? In this way, no one else has entered Aragu Mountain? Then why do anyone say that there is a devil in Aragu Mountain?"
"I just said that if the person who came was looking for the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family, we would drive them away. However, if the person who came did not come to the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family, but got lost or accidentally passed here, we would not care." The tall elder said: "So, there were also people who went up the mountain. As for this devil's affairs, it should have been spread from the inside of these people, right?"
Ye Qing was even more confused and said strangely: "How do you tell whether the person who came here is looking for the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family, or whether it is here for another reason?"
The short elder said, "Because the entrance to the ancestral tomb is at the foot of the mountain. If the person comes to enter the ancestral tomb, he doesn't need to go up the mountain at all. If he goes up the mountain, there is nothing to worry about!"
"So, we won't have to go up the mountain in a while?" Ye Qing's eyes lit up. After hearing that there were devils on this mountain, Ye Qing felt a little nervous. After experiencing so many things, Ye Qing already knew that these legends were usually true. Maybe there is really some danger on this mountain. Something that can be called a devil is definitely not an ordinary thing!
"That's not necessarily!" The short elder shook his head: "The entrance is at the foot of the mountain, but we don't know where the location of the ancestral tomb is. We only know that the legacy left by our ancestors mentioned that we can truly enter the ancestral tomb unless we enter from the entrance of the mountain. From another place, even if we walk to the location of the ancestral tomb, we will not want to enter!"
Ye Qing was stunned when he heard this. The Yelu family’s ancestral tomb seemed to be quite complex to build. The mechanism inside was probably not simple either.
The terrain map of the ancestral cemetery I got last night was taken out. This map is the route in the ancestral tomb. Ye Qing had already remembered all these routes last night, although these routes were dead ends. There are twelve routes in total, and each route was broken in the end and could not enter the last tomb chamber.
However, according to the short elder, the map will change with the time when the day it is opened. Ye Qing was guessing in his mind that since there are twelve routes here, does it correspond to each time according to the time change?
After carefully looking at the map of the tomb, Ye Qing suddenly found that every reveal in the tomb was upward. In other words, after entering the tomb, they must go up the mountain and enter the Aragu Mountain. Ye Qing can only pray in his heart that after he arrives on the mountain, try not to meet that devil!
After determining the specific route, Ye Qing and the others drove away from Wuzhou and headed straight to the location of Alagu Mountain. It took six or seven hours to drive a three hundred kilometers away. There is still one and a half days before the full moon night. If you are not surprised, you will have more time to get to the Alagu Mountain and you can rest. This is enough.
When I first left Wuzhou City, there were still quite a lot of vehicles nearby. As I entered the desert deeper, fewer and fewer vehicles around me. After driving more than 100 kilometers, there was only Ye Qing and the others on a road, and there was no one around me. There was an endless desert all around. Now it was in a dry period, and there was a shortage of water on the desert, so there was no green at all in the desert. The environment here was extremely difficult.
Ye Qing and the others don’t have the heart to appreciate the scenery of the desert now. It’s so uncomfortable to drive in the desert. Although the air conditioner is turned on to the maximum, the hot people are still sweating profusely. The temperature in the desert can reach forty or fifty degrees during the day, such a temperature is very terrifying. Walking in such a temperature for a long time can easily cause heatstroke. The desert is a place with a large temperature difference between day and night. Although the temperature is very high during the day, the temperature drops sharply at night, and often drops below zero degrees. Wearing a cotton jacket in the morning and wearing a yarn in the afternoon, and holding a stove to eat watermelon is a true portrayal of the desert climate.
