Aning moved very quickly, and in a short while, he climbed to the top of the highest stone mountain nearby, took a telescope, and took a look in silence.
Done.
Aning sneaked back to Ding Ze and said excitedly, "You are right, there is indeed something wrong with this Devil City. It seems that someone has used Qimen Dunjia to transform it."
After saying that, Aning asked Ding Ze, "But, even so, why did you say that we are almost at Tamutuo?"
Ding Ze lit a cigarette, "What we know now is that Tamutuo is an oasis in the Gobi, right?"
Aning nodded, "Yeah."
"Then, Tamutuo is surrounded by Gobi, and the Kingdom of the Western Queen is established in Tamutuo. Like any country, it must have fortifications on all sides."
"Otherwise, with attacks coming from all directions from time to time, how can there be peace in the Motherland of the Western Queen?"
"So, if you ask me, this devil city is probably huge in area, and as a whole, it is a circle, wrapping the Tamuduo inside."
"In other words, this devil city is the outer line of defense of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom, ensuring that it is difficult for the enemy to invade the Western Queen Mother Kingdom."
"Go and ask the lord Zhuoma to see how big this devil city is."
"If my guess is correct, during the day tomorrow, based on the direction of the ancient river and the structure of this devil city, we should be able to reach Tamutuo."
After listening.
Aning was naturally even more excited, "Okay."
In response, Aning moved again and ran to find Dolma, the destined master.
Not long after.
Aning received a positive answer, and then happily informed everyone of the news.
Everyone was excited for a while, and all of a sudden, the pain of running around in the past few days disappeared.
night.
After everyone celebrated for a while, they all fell asleep early.
Wu Xie was worried and didn't sleep. He found Ding Ze and said, "Brother Ding, tell Aning that we can go to Tamutuo tomorrow...will it go so smoothly?"
Ding Ze was holding a cigarette, lying on the stone, and simply shook his head, "No."
Wu Xie: "???Then you said that to her?"
"Let her cheer up. It's not good for her to be so nervous all the time," Ding Ze replied casually.
Wu Xie heard this and was speechless, "Brother Ding, is it appropriate to joke about this kind of thing?"
Ding Ze smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong. Although we will certainly not be able to find Tamuta tomorrow, I think I know how to find Tamutuo."
Wu Xie was shocked, "How to find it?"
"This is the Gobi. When the Western Kingdom was established in Tamutuo, it also built a large number of large and small devil cities as defense fortifications... So, apart from other things, one of these points is very important."
"water."
"Everyone in the Kingdom of the Western Queen must drink water, right?"
"Then, the end point of these ancient rivers must be the Kingdom of the Western Queen. We only need to follow the ancient rivers."
"Of course, the ancient rivers here are complicated and extend into the Devil's City. It is not easy to walk along the ancient rivers... So we need to wait for a while."
Wu Xie could understand these words and asked, "What time?"
"Chen Wenjin wrote in his notes that the time is almost up..." Ding Ze said, pointing to the sky, "She meant rain."
"Soon, there will definitely be a heavy rain here that lasts for many days... When it rains, we will be able to find Tamutuo..."
"Also, I have some bad news."
When Wu Xie heard this, he was a little nervous and said, "Say."
"This is the Gobi... When the Western Queen Mother Kingdom was founded here, it was necessary to build a large number of underground pipelines to store water. Just waiting for rain will not do..."
"Considering that thousands of years have passed and the Western Queen's Motherland is in an oasis, it is most likely that it has sunk into the ground long ago and is intertwined with the underground pipes..."
"In this case, when the rain comes and we enter Tamutuo, we will probably have to leave Tamutuo before the rain stops. Otherwise, we will most likely not be able to get out."
Wu Xie didn't understand immediately, "Why?"
"Because there is no doubt that those underground pipes will be a mess, like a maze. And the water flows to the lower areas... If it doesn't stop raining, it will be easy for us to find a way back to the ground. Once the rain stops, everything will look the same underground.
Do you know where to get back to the ground?"
Wu Xie understood, but he was a little unconvinced, "It's not that exaggerated. According to what you said, those underground pipes are water storage pipes, so they shouldn't be buried too deep..."
As he spoke, Wu Xie suddenly became mute and realized that his logic was wrong, "I was wrong... If the Western Queen Mother Kingdom sinks, those pipelines must either sink deeper or destroy a lot... This is ridiculous...
..”
Ding Ze smiled and said, "This time we will be like mice, burrowing around underground."
Wu Xie was helpless.
The two chatted for a while, then got into their sleeping bags and fell asleep.
In a blink of an eye.
a new day.
Everyone got on the bus and set off.
The finalist, Dolma, said that the rock mountain where Chen Wenjin separated from him was located to the west of this devil city.
Everyone then walked west.
As soon as I left, I walked until the afternoon.
I didn't even see the shadow of Yanshan.
Aning was worried and asked Ding Ze on the walkie-talkie, "Will that rock mountain collapse?"
"It's possible," Ding Ze replied.
"Then what should we do?" Aning asked.
"Daughter-in-law, do you believe me?" Ding Ze smiled and asked the question without answering.
Aning: "...if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Look for another hour or two. If you still can't find it, find a safe place to camp. Don't leave. We'll wait."
Aning: "????What are you waiting for?"
"Wait until Tamutuo comes to us," Ding Ze joked.
Aning's face darkened, "Can you please be more serious? What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the rain. As long as it rains, we can easily enter Tamutuo by following the water," Ding Ze replied.
Aning has conducted a detailed investigation of Tamutuo and can understand the logic behind this statement, but... "You are too unreliable. When will this happen?"
"Besides, light rain is useless. It has to be a heavy rainstorm with enough rain."
"Daughter-in-law, you forgot, I know how to look at the sky and just wait. Within five days, there will be a heavy rainstorm that lasts for a long time. We just need to wait until then," Ding Ze said.
Aning was doubtful, "Are you sure? You could have told me last night that we would find Tamutuo today."
"That was a white lie I told to make you relax... As you may well know, Tamuduo is not that easy to find. Otherwise, a bunch of people would have found it long ago," Ding Ze said
Be confident and confident.
Aning was speechless.
Ding Ze then said, "Don't worry, I'm not kidding you about the heavy rain. There will be heavy rain within five days. Let's take a rest and recharge our batteries."
"If you don't believe it, ask Dolma, the master. That old woman must know, otherwise she wouldn't have brought us in to find Tamutuo at this time."
Aning heard it and believed it a little, "Okay, I'll ask the Dingzhu Dolma."
