Chapter 17: Stone Tomb

"Go around?" Hu Bayi approached Shirley Yang and reminded in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, you have to think about it. I don't know how big this quicksand area is. If we really go around, we will be unlucky. It is impossible to go around for hundreds of miles."
.We don’t have much supplies and water.”
"Then what can we do?" Shirley Yang turned to look at Hu Badi: "That's quicksand. If you don't go around it, why don't you lie down on it?"
Shirley Yang looked at the blazing sun above her head and said: "In that case, we will either accidentally fall into the quicksand, or be roasted into a teppanyaki by the hot sand. There is no other outcome.
Also, if the quicksand layer is too big and we can't climb out all day, what will we do at night? We will be frozen into ice sculptures, waiting for the sun tomorrow."
Hu Badi said: "But our supplies..."
Shirley Yang said: "Hu Bayi, you are the team leader, I am the funder, I am responsible for formulating the route, you lead the way and provide supplies by the way."
"Isn't there a deputy team leader over there?" Hu Ba raised his head and signaled to Shirley Yang: "I have to lead the way, deal with supplies, and protect the safety of the entire archaeological team, so what is he doing?
"
Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang and asked with a smile: "They all get the same money, shopkeeper, you can't favor one over the other."
"What?" Shirley Yang asked with a smile: "Are you going to pay more?"
Hu Bayi quickly said after hearing this: "Ms. Yang, this, this is not a question of whether to add more money or not, this... it..."
"Okay!" Shirley Yang said: "I told you, as long as you find the ancient city of Jingjue, you and Fatty Wang will get thirty-five thousand US dollars each, and I won't miss you a penny." After saying that, he turned around and went to where Zhang Lin was.
And go.
When Hu Ba saw this, he rubbed his face and exhaled: "I've been talking for a long time, but I still haven't added anything."


"How's it going? What are you looking at?" Shirley Yang walked up to a few people and asked.
Seeing that it was Shirley Yang coming over, Professor Chen sighed and said, "Shirley, I'm afraid we have to take a detour! But this detour..."
An Liman on the side said: "There are no supplies or water, so taking a detour is just asking for death.
The quicksand layer blocking here is Hu Da's arrangement. He told us not to go any further. We should go back.
If we go any further, Hu Da will get angry and we won't be able to go back."
"I think what the old man said makes sense!" Hu Bayi's persuasion failed. Wang Kaixuan thought he could still save him, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him.
Wang Kaixuan smiled awkwardly and said: "Why are you all looking at me? I really think what Ren An Liman said makes sense."
"Yes, yes!" An Liman saw that Fatty Wang, who had always been at odds with him, said this, and quickly started to persuade him again.
The three of them all wanted to bring the archaeological team in, take a walk and then go out, but they didn't want to actually go looking for some exquisite ancient city.
On this point, all three of them are unanimous.
Wang Kaixuan and An Liman were like a double act. Every word they said to each other shook the archaeological team's faith.
Hu Bayi stood aside, leisurely looking at Shirley Yang, whose face was getting darker and darker, and the archaeological team who was already thinking.
Suddenly, Zhang Lin, who had been studying quicksand, stood up, grabbed Fatty Wang, and threw him into the quicksand before he could react.
"Fat man..."
When Hu Bayi saw him, he hurriedly held the gun, pointed it at Zhang Lin and said: "Brother Zhang, what do you mean?" Seeing Zhang Lin move slightly, he quickly shouted: "Don't move..."
Zhang Lin's actions frightened everyone. Shirley Yang also pointed a gun at Zhang Lin. An Liman saw that something was wrong and quietly ran to his camel.
Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo of the archaeological team protected the other three students and kept a distance from Zhang Lin.
For a time, the entire archaeological team was divided.
"Old Hu, beat him to death, and then save me!" Next to the quicksand layer where you could hear a needle drop, the only sound was Wang Kaixuan's cry for help.
Seeing Wang Kaixuan calling for help in the quicksand, Hu Bayi said anxiously: "Fat man, don't fucking move!"
After speaking, the gun opened the safety, raised the muzzle, pointed at Zhang Lin and said: "Brother Zhang Lin, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang didn't offend you, did they? Why did they hurt Fatty?"
"He is too noisy!" Zhang Lin said seriously and chillingly, looked at everyone with a smile and said: "He keeps asking you to go back, go back, you go back, what can I use to sacrifice the queen? If I don't take you
If you sacrifice it to the queen, the queen will not be resurrected, and she will not..."
"Hey, Lao Hu, I'm fine..." Zhang Lin was fooling everyone. Wang Kaixuan found in the quicksand that he would not sink, so he crawled back by himself.
As soon as he came up, he patted the sand on his body and said, "Emotions are not quicksand." Then when he looked up, he saw An Liman climbing on a camel and running away. He quickly said, "Old Hu, that old man An Liman wants to run away."
When Hu Bayi saw him, he fired a gun quickly and asked An Liman, who was about to run away, to come over by himself. Seeing this, Zhang Lin turned around and looked at Wang Kaixuan and said: "Damn fat man, you won't find out later, I haven't finished telling the ghost story yet."
Woolen cloth!"
"You still say that?" Wang Kaixuan heard this, took the shovel from the side, pointed at Zhang Lin and said: "You kid threw me into the quicksand, and you didn't run away when the fat man came up. You are so brave. Today, fat man, I
kill you."
"Hey! Fatty..." Hu Bayi quickly hugged Wang Kaixuan and said, "Calm down, calm down, he knew it wasn't quicksand, so he threw you in..."
"Old Hu..." Wang Kaixuan said: "I am your brother, I was thrown into quicksand, you..."
"Calm down!" Hu Badi said: "We can't defeat..."
After Hu Bayi finished speaking, Fatty Wang stopped angrily. Zhang Lin saw this and said: "This is not quicksand. If it is really quicksand, we have no chance to pull Ye Yixin up. To be precise, the camels will not bring us here.
."
Wang Kaixuan said disdainfully: "Are you saying it's not quicksand? I'm telling you, we're not done yet."
Zhang Lin said: "Fat man, we can play slowly!"
After speaking, he looked at the others and said: "Quicksand has the same properties as water. If a person is on it, it will be like falling into the water, and his shadow will disappear. Therefore, if it is really quicksand, we will not have time to save Ye Yixin."
Camels were born and grew up in deserts, so they know where there is quicksand. If they dare to walk here, it means there is no quicksand nearby.
There is only one explanation for this quicksand-like place before us."
Professor Chen heard this and asked: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, what's your explanation?"
"That's right, Brother Zhang." Chu Jian said, "Stop showing off!"
Zhang Linda said: "It's very simple. Below is a large tomb that has been stolen."
"Tomb?" Everyone in the archaeological team looked at each other.
"Big tomb!" Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up.
"What are you excited about? It's been stolen." This was the calm Hu Bayi.
"How do you know for sure? Is there a tomb underneath, or has it been stolen?" Shirley Yang asked with suspicion.
"It's very simple!" Zhang Lin said: "It's not far from Stone City. Where is the Stone City? In the desert and in this terrain, there can't be any tall buildings here.
If there is, it can only be built underground.
In addition to military fortresses, those built underground are usually tombs. But there is no danger to defend here, and it is so close to Stone City, so no military fortress will be built. So..."
Wang Kaixuan said: "There are only tombs down there!"
"Yes!" Zhang Lin said: "There is inexhaustible sand in the desert, and it is best to use it as an anti-theft device.
And such a large collapse area must have been caused by the confiscation of the mechanism. It can not only trap the tomb robbers, but also backfill the tomb passage, killing two birds with one stone."
Wang Kaixuan said: "You mean, follow the collapse and you can find the entrance to the tomb passage."
Zhang Linda said: "You don't have to follow the rules to find it."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Hu Badi: "Brother Hu, show us your sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique!
They say seeing is believing, today let us all open our eyes and experience the Star Feng Shui technique you mentioned."
"This..." Seeing everyone looking at him, Hu Badi said: "I'm still not good at learning this Feng Shui technique, and there are no stars in the sky to refer to...I..."
"It's okay, everyone can wait!" Zhang Lin patted the dust and sat down and said, "I think everyone won't be in a hurry to leave when the tomb appears, right?"
"No hurry, no hurry..." Everyone nodded after hearing this, indicating that they could wait.
"Old Hu, what's going on!" Seeing that everyone was waiting, Wang Kaixuan pulled Hu Bayi aside and said: "There is a big tomb below, don't you want to go down?"
Hu Bayi wondered: "Fat man, you still don't know my secret technique? It's just a proper term for tomb robbing. It's okay for Sa Di Peng and the others to say they have little experience, but Professor Chen and the two old men are well-informed and are in
If we use it in public, if we are recognized, we..."
"In this way..." Wang Kaixuan clapped his head and said, "But we don't have much supplies. If we wait any longer..."
Hu Badi said: "We can't keep them waiting, time waits for no one."
Wang Kaixuan said: "What should we do? If we can't go down, just leave?"
Hu Badi said: "Fat man, if we are like this, you go and hold them while I come to find the entrance to the tomb."
Fatty Wang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay! Then I'll hold them back, and you hurry up."
Hu Ba nodded and asked Fatty Wang to quickly stop the archaeological team. He took out his compass and used the terrain of this place to perform his sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique.

On the side, several members of the archaeological team were eating dry food. Professor Chen said with emotion: "In the past few days, we have encountered sandstorms, desert army ants, quicksand, and tombs. In just a few days, it has been like a lifetime of excitement...
…”
"Yes!" Hao Aiguo said: "This expedition is the most unforgettable one I have ever experienced. The large glaciers, fire ladybugs, and desert army ants in the Kunlun Mountains... are unforgettable and a worthwhile trip.
"
Sa Di Peng said: "Teacher, do you think Brother Hu's Star Feng Shui technique can find the entrance to the tomb?"
Hao Aiguo hesitated and said: "I should, I can!"
"It won't work!" An Liman said: "We don't have enough supplies. We can't stop. We must either move forward or go back, otherwise we will die of thirst in the desert."
Professor Chen heard this: "Shirley, Brother An Liman is right, we can't wait any longer and must seize the time.
Comrade Xiao Zhang also said that this tomb has been robbed, and we must go down immediately to carry out protective development."
"This..." Shirley Yang was a little hesitant when she heard this, because she wanted to see if Hu Bayi's Tianxing Feng Shui technique was effective.
That may be the key to finding the exquisite ancient city in this vast sea of ​​sand. When everyone saw this, they didn't know what Shirley Yang was thinking, so they only urged her to express her position.
Zhang Lin saw this and said: "Boss, since we are following your map, there should be records here. Why don't you take a look at the map?"
