Because they did not have the equipment to excavate the ancient tomb, Professor Chen and others decided to temporarily seal the tomb of Prince Gumo after seeing the murals, and then come back for re-examination after they went back to apply.
The group also saw the symbol of the ancient city of Jingjue in the mural: the Zagrama Mountains.
The excited crowd ignored An Liman's persuasion and set off the next day.
Before reaching the Zagrama Mountains, the team ran out of water.
"Mr. Zhang, where are your talismans?" Shirley Yang walked to Zhang Lin and said, "You also saw that the team is seriously short of water now."
Seeing that Zhang Lin didn't say anything, Shirley Yang said: "Of course, you tell me how much each ticket costs, and I will give it to you every penny when you get out."
"Boss, this is not a matter of money. If the environment is as dry as it is now, it won't be able to gather much water." Zhang Lin looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and said, "When the temperature drops down at night, find a sandpit where you can gather more water. Next
We don’t know how far away a supply point is, and we must ensure that there is no water supply.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Shirley Yang nodded and went to find Hu Bayi. Needless to say, she knew that she was going to discuss with him the matter of getting water at night.
That night.
"Are you ready?" On a sunny slope, Wang Kaixuan posted a sentry on the sand dune, and Shirley and Yang stood in a depression three meters deep at the bottom.
There was a piece of plastic paper spread at the bottom of the sand nest. Hu Bayi held the pot used by the archaeological team to boil water, and Shirley Yang looked eagerly at Zhang Lin who was holding the talisman paper and asking them.
Hearing Zhang Lin ask, the two nodded expectantly.
Seeing the two men nodding, Zhang Lin tore open the talisman paper.
A slight breeze blew from nowhere, and the guy who was boiling water came up, and a water ball quickly formed, and finally grew bigger and fell.
Seeing a pot full of water and a lot of it on the plastic wrap, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked at Zhang Lin suspiciously.
Didn't it mean that we can't gather much in a dry climate? What's the situation now? When Zhang Lin saw this, he quickly patted the two confused people and said: "Why are you so stupid? Go back and get the water filling tools. If I am not wrong, there is a water bottle under our feet.
There must be an underground river or something a few dozen meters away." As he said this, like An Liman, he bowed to the sand pit and said, "Bless me, Hu Da, the water will be good now!"
When the two heard this, Hu Bayi quickly called the fat man to get the equipment. The worried Shirley Yang rarely smiled and said: "Shouldn't Mr. Zhang worship the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Guards? Why do you still worship Hu Da with Uncle An Liman?"
Zhang Linda said: "It seems that you know a lot, boss! But boss, we are on human territory. As the saying goes: the county magistrate is not as good as the current person in charge."
Shirley Yang said: "How can you be so realistic and not afraid of Sanqing's old man getting angry?"
Zhang Lin smiled after hearing this: "Boss, our ancestor has always told us to be realistic, so this talisman will bring you three thousand US dollars!"
"I won't miss you!" Shirley Yang stood up, took the water-filling tool brought by Fatty Wang who had come over, and said, "Thank you so much this time!"
…
With his bag filled with water on his pillow, Wang Kaixuan was silly and happy, and touched Hu Ba: "This talisman is so damn powerful! It's much more powerful than your star Feng Shui technique, Lao Hu."
As he spoke, he drank hard and said: "Fat Master, I drank enough in one sitting. I almost died of thirst today, Fat Master."
Hu Bayi waved his hands and said: "That's incomparable! I feel now that Brother Zhang gets the same $10,000 as us. It's such a loss. Boss, you have to pay more."
Shirley Yang smiled and said: "We will discuss the additional money later. Mr. Wang, please send water to everyone first."
"Hello!"
Wang Kaixuan got up and went to deliver water, leaving Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Zhang Lin lying or sitting in the sand pit.
Shirley Yang looked at Zhang Lin who was sitting silently and asked: "Mr. Zhang, please forgive me, I wonder where you practice Taoism? How much do you know about the ancient city of Jingjue?"
"Me?" Zhang Lin looked up at the stars in the sky and said with a confused look on his face: "Maybe for a long time in the future, we will be at home all over the world. As for the ancient city of Jingjue, I don't know much more than you do."
"Like Taoist Zhang..." Zhang Lin raised his hand to interrupt Hu Ba: "Just call me Xiao Lin or Xiao Zhang. I'm not a Taoist priest yet. This talisman was just when I was young, I met a dying Taoist priest and asked me to bury him.
The remuneration he gave me. I don’t know if I have a high talent or a poor talent. It took me about two or three years to successfully draw my first painting. I guess I am self-taught!”
"That must be an extraordinary talent!" Hu Bayi gave a thumbs up and praised, and then said: "But from what Brother Zhang said, how powerful was that Taoist priest back then? I'm afraid he was really a fairy."
"Maybe!" Zhang Lin smiled: "Maybe after completing this mission, he may get the method of cultivation and embark on the path of the immortal family mentioned by Hu Bayi."
But now, it's too early to say anything.
The three of them looked at the starry sky, but no one was looking at the ancient city.
The night was dark, and everyone fell asleep.
"What's going on?" Wang Kaixuan stood by the sand pit and looked at Shirley Yang, who was leaning on Hu Bayi's shoulder.
"Let's go!" Zhang Lin patted Wang Kaixuan, pointed at the archaeological team's camp and said, "Don't disturb the beautiful scenery."
"Beautiful scenery on a good day!" Wang Kaixuan looked at Hu Bayi and the two and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, don't disturb them, let's walk more gently."
…
"Well, I saw you were too fast asleep, so I didn't call you."
The two people who were already awakened pretended to be asleep after listening to Wang Kaixuan and Zhang Lin's words.
After the two left, Fang sat down separately.
Perhaps because he wanted to explain that he had no idea about Shirley Yang or was afraid that the other party would dislike him, Hu Bayi explained to Shirley Yang stiffly.
Hearing this, Shirley Yang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your shoulder. I was really sleepy just now, so I'm really sorry."
"It's okay! It's okay!" Hu Bayi, perhaps panicking due to a guilty conscience, blurted out: "If you are sleepy, you can sleep at any time, I..."
"What..." Seeing Shirley Yang looking at him, Hu Bayi reacted and said unnaturally: "You see, it's already late now. We'd better set off. Maybe we can find Jingjue Ancient City early."
Shirley Yang nodded, and then she and Hu Bayi put away the water facilities and returned to the camp.
Seeing that everyone was ready, he led everyone and set off.
Wang Kaixuan pulled Hu Bayi behind him and muttered with Hu Bayi. With the fat man's virtue, Zhang Lin knew without having to listen that he was definitely asking Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang if they had made any progress.
Maybe he is also criticizing Hu Bayi, who sits crookedly, to prevent him from falling into the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism.
A group of people, surrounded by long stretches of yellow sand and solitary smoke in the desert.
Although Zhang Lin's water-gathering talisman was able to obtain water, no one in the archaeological team suffered from dehydration. However, they still walked for several days under the scorching sun, and finally saw the entrance to the Zagrama Mountains under the setting sun.
"This is the sacred mountain!"
"Zagrama!"
"finally reached!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they looked at the entrance to the huge mountain range. After walking for almost a month and after a thousand years, they finally found this ancient city that had been buried for thousands of years - Jingjue Ancient City.
"Shirley! We're finally here!" Professor Chen looked at the Zagrama Mountains with emotion.
"Yes, it's finally here!" Shirley Yang also became excited, took the camera and started taking pictures.
Hao Ai suggested: "In that case, let's work harder and try to reach Jingjue Ancient City today?"
Chapter completed!
