The air wave carried sand and dust, and at the same time, it was like a funnel appeared in the desert. A group of people flew on the sloping quicksand, struggling to break away from the pouring force, and huge rumbling sounds were heard from below.
A group of people flew far away before falling down. Jasmine, who was dragging one person to the final flyby, dropped Gong Ziting and looked back, shocked.
She and Gao Changtai had promised Gong Ziting that they would keep him alive as long as he revealed the secret of the treasure hunt, and at least they had no plans to break their promise yet.
Everyone watched as a huge "wave" splashed up, then crashed down again, like a violent storm suddenly stopping, everything was silent, except for the occasional whistling wind.
A group of people stared blankly as the temple in the desert suddenly disappeared.
After confirming that there was no movement, everyone tried to return to the location of the temple, but there was no shadow of the temple anywhere.
Not only the temple, but also the large piles of sand that were dug out and piled outside the temple disappeared, as if they were wiped out in the desert in an instant.
Many people stamped their feet with lingering fear. They didn't realize how stupid they were until this moment. They didn't even think about the pressure of the desert around the temple. They actually dared to empty out the sand inside the temple. This temple
He was obviously crushed by the tremendous pressure.
Fortunately, if the collapse was not discovered in time, most of them would have been buried alive.
If the rocks that collapsed were rocks, depending on everyone's cultivation, there might be a chance to break out. But such a large amount of sand pouring down would bury people and make it difficult to escape.
“You have worked so hard to dig for so long, and then you just dug it out and it’s gone?”
Fan Jiu faced everyone and asked in confusion.
Jasmine suddenly stared at Gao Changtai and scolded angrily: "It's you, why are you moving?"
Everyone also looked at Gao Changtai and frowned. It took them two days to dig out something, but it was ruined. They were definitely unhappy.
Gao Changtai was speechless, but he was still holding the ring that was forcibly pulled from the animal's head. The evidence of the crime was conclusive and there was no way to deny it. He could only look embarrassed and guilty.
In the end, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yu Qing, wanting to know what the gang leader meant.
Fan Jiu walked up to Yu Qing and asked, "Gang leader, what should we do next?"
Yu Qing was silent for a while, then slowly glanced at everyone. He paused for a moment on Tong Zaitian, glanced around and stared at his feet. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but suddenly he stamped his feet and said, "dig again."
!”
Are you still digging? Everyone looked at each other, and Fan Jiu said: "Gang leader, that temple is made of stone. If it collapses, the wall sculptures will be almost destroyed."
Yu Qing: "It shouldn't be completely destroyed. There should be some left."
Hearing this, everyone was either silent or frowning. They didn't know what the point was of working in vain, and no one questioned it first.
Yu Qing saw everyone's thoughts and immediately said, "After two days of thinking, I have already seen some clues about the stone carvings and murals inside the temple."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits perked up, their eyes lit up, and they stared at him.
Observing everyone's reaction, Yu Qing added, "But I'm still a little confused. I didn't have enough time before and haven't figured it out yet. I still need to find some murals to support it. I have to refer to it carefully to think about it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, then the work was not in vain, and everyone was looking forward to it.
At this moment, Tong Zaitian finally couldn't help but ask, "Gang leader, what are we looking for?"
It was a case of asking questions knowingly. Although Duan Yuntian had told him to facilitate his actions, he did not inform him.
When Jasmine and Gao Changtai came back after capturing Gong Ziting, they were willing to tell everyone the secret because they were too weak to survive. After a group of people mastered this secret, they didn't want to leak it easily, even to Tong Zaitian.
Have a good impression.
Don’t say what you can’t say, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, just do it and you’ll get a share when it’s done.
Yu Qing still said the same thing, "It's not convenient to say it now. You will know it later. By the way, there happens to be something you need to do."
Tong Zaitian said: "Gang leader, just ask."
Yu Qing said: "Can you please go to Kuai Lei City and buy some paper? I will make rubbings of some of the excavated murals, which will be of great use."
Tong Zaitian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can the ones bought from Tiaoshan Lian be used?"
Yu Qing: "Yes, if you can buy it nearby, you don't have to travel too far."
"Okay, this is an easy matter, I'll go right away." Tong Zai bowed his hands under the sky, and then bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and flew away quickly. When passing Gong Ziting, the two looked at each other meaningfully.
Take a look.
Yu Qing turned around and said to everyone: "The reason why we let him go is because he doesn't know what we are looking for."
Everyone nodded slightly to show that they understood, while Gong Ziting's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule.
After that, under the organization of Fan Jiu, they started digging again. When they found out the truth, they worked very hard.
Mu Aotie took the opportunity to get close to Yu Qing and asked, "What do you mean by specifically asking him to go?"
Yu Qing touched his mustache and said, "If you don't give him a chance to leave, how can he report the news?"
Confirming that he knew what he was doing, Mu Aotie didn't ask any more questions and went to work.
Under the blazing sun, Gong Ziting sat in the hot sand. He was in so much pain that his cultivation was restricted and he could not cast any spells to resist.
As the sun gradually set in the west, Tong Zaitian saw Duan Yunyou under the shade of a forest outside the desert.
Duan Yunyou took him away from everyone. After coughing for a while, he frowned and asked, "Why did you come back?"
Tong Zaitian said: "Don't worry, gang leader, he didn't sneak out. Nothing will happen. Let me buy paper over there."
"Buy paper?" Duan Yunyou was confused, "What kind of paper should I buy?"
"It's not a special paper. That Zhu Qing saw something from the murals and wanted to make some rubbings. Oh, by the way, the temple collapsed..." Tong Zaitian told the story of the temple's collapse.
As for why he bought paper rubbings, he also informed those people that the Scorpion Gang had been reorganized.
Duan Yunyou was not surprised that Yu Qing became the leader of the Scorpion Gang. After all, given his strength, it was indeed surprising that the gang was called the Scorpion Gang.
What really scares him is the collapse of the temple. To be honest, when he ordered people to dig before, he did not consider the pressure of the desert on the temple. There are more people digging on his side and the noise will be louder. If it really collapses
, the consequences are unimaginable. In this case, those guys may have blocked their side.
The situation was like this. After Tong Zaitian reported the matter, Duan Yuntian's plan did not change.
There is nothing that can be done now. The temples have collapsed. It is not possible to extract useful clues from the temples. However, the new Scorpion Gang leader has obtained relevant clues. He can only rely on others, and it is impossible for others to take the initiative to hand over the clues.
There are no clues, so executing the original plan is the best choice.
So Tong Zaitian left quickly and continued to look for a place to buy paper.
He did not go to Kuai Lei City, but found a mountain picker to buy it, and returned to the place where the temple sank when it got dark.
Another large pit has been dug at the site, some rocks have been excavated, and several simple resting spots have been built with large stone slabs.
Gong Ziting was lying in one of them. After the torture during the day, he had fallen asleep. If Jasmine hadn't fed him the elixir, he might have lost his life.
A group of people take turns working and being vigilant as usual.
In the middle of the night, Yu Qing, who was squatting in front of the stone slabs with a fluorite and observing, seemed to have discovered something. He took out paper and printed out more than a dozen stone murals that were relatively well preserved, and then put them together.
After looking at the light for a long time, he suddenly shouted, "Okay, no need to dig."
Everyone stopped when they heard the sound, and those in the pit quickly jumped out and gathered around Yu Qing to watch.
Gao Changtai, who caused the trouble, tried to ask, "Gang Leader, what did you find?"
Yu Qing muttered in his heart, wondering if someone could find something after it was ruined like this, so he could only pick a few pictures to make up the numbers, but he hummed, "I probably know it well, so there's no need to dig any more."
Everyone was immediately excited and wanted to get some clues from the rubbings, but Yu Qing quickly pulled out the pieces of paper, folded them, and put them away.
Fan Jiu was quite cautious, "Gang leader, if we really don't need to dig anymore, shouldn't these things be destroyed?" He pointed to the stone slab that had been rubbed just now.
Yu Qing hummed and said, "That's fine, you can just watch and deal with it."
So Fan Jiu took matters into his own hands, destroying not only the stone slabs that had been rubbed, but also almost all the stone slabs with complete patterns. He then called in manpower to backfill the sand pit.
Digging the sand pit was difficult, but backfilling it was much easier. Just push the accumulated sand in, and it was done in less than half an hour.
After the work was done, a group of people sat around Yu Qing in the desert, obviously wanting to hear clues to the treasure from him.
Yu Qing looked at everyone's reactions and said knowingly: "Let's all take turns to rest and start again at dawn tomorrow."
Jasmine asked tentatively: "Where to go?"
Yu Qing muttered: "I don't know where to go yet."
Everyone looked at each other and hesitated, then Jasmine asked again: "Don't you know what you are doing?"
Yu Qing: "I only know what kind of terrain environment the target may appear in, but I don't know where the relevant terrain environment will be in Tianji Mountain. We are new here and are not familiar with the place. We can only go to Kuailei City slowly."
Please wait and ask."
Mu Aotie, who was standing by, looked at Yu Qing's pretentious sigh. He knew each other so well that he could tell there was something wrong at first glance. He was guessing that he was going to recite some sutras again, so he watched with cold eyes and checked everyone's expressions and reactions from time to time.
.
Tong Zaitian tried to say: "I may know more about the situation in Tianji Mountain than you do. If the gang leader finds it convenient, you might as well tell me about the environment of the so-called target location. Maybe I have heard of such a place.
uncertain."
Everyone was silent, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement.
Yu Qing shook his head: "First of all, I'm afraid it's hard to find a place with related characteristics at the same time, and it may not be useful if I tell you. Secondly, in order to prevent the news from leaking, I won't tell anyone at will, and I won't make it so public that everyone knows.
, I will only contact a few people privately and ask them to participate in the inquiry. Remember, those who participate cannot let anyone else know that you are involved. In a word, people who are not involved should not inquire too much, and the benefits will not be less for you.
of."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
Yu Qing turned to stare at Tong Zaitian again, "Mr. Tong, you joined late, so there are some situations that I can't tell you. Please don't participate in this inquiry to avoid accidents and people misunderstanding you."
"
Tong Zaitian was directly excluded in public.
Tong Zaitian was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "It's okay, I'm not the only one who can be brisk, and I can also share the benefits, so why not do it? I will obey your orders."
Yu Qing nodded, expressed his gratitude and understanding, and sighed to everyone: "I don't want to make it so complicated. Unfortunately, we don't have the Tianji Mountain Map in the hands of the city lord, and we can't get it, so don't even think about it.
.
To blame, I still have to blame myself. I shouldn’t have let the leader of the Flying Eagle Gang escape before. If I killed him, we wouldn’t be in such trouble."
Tong Zaitian was frightened when he heard this. He felt somewhat guilty and confused. What does this have to do with Duan Yunyou?
Everyone had this question, and Fan Jiu asked: "What's the use of killing Duan Yunyou? He doesn't know where he is."
Yu Qing reminded everyone, "Have you forgotten? Duan Yunyou has an ancient notebook. If you kill him and get the notebook, maybe the records in it will match the clues. Wouldn't it be easier? I think it's possible.
It’s pretty big.”
Everyone suddenly realized it, even thinking about it.
Tong Zaitian's eyes flashed.
Yu Qing touched his mustache again and seemed to be talking to himself: "Logically speaking, Duan Yunyou shouldn't give up the clues about this temple easily. I have an idea now. Let's just wait here. Duan Yunyou will come sooner or later."
Come here and take him down when the time comes!" He made a fist with his other hand.
Mu Aotie, who was watching coldly, had no expression on his face. Seeing him digging a hole, he felt that Old Fifteen would not be willing to take a bite.
