Shang Beikai was a little reluctant to waste too much time, so he said: "But we have already used a lot of time, if we are still on the road to rest for one night, we will waste an extra day of supplies, and we can't afford to consume it." ”

Since this is the case, Shang Muli immediately said: "In this case, we will hurry up and strive to reach the destination as soon as possible, so that everyone has no opinions." ”

If you want to speed up, Xu Qingliu and Shang Beikai both agreed, and Xiao Jiti followed them, so there would be no doubts, so it was decided, and everyone accelerated to hurry.

What they didn't know, however, was that when they left the oasis, a group of Taoist priests also passed through the oasis and rested there.

The group of Taoist priests were wearing Taoist robes, so their identities were easily recognizable, and the Taoist priest at the head looked quite old, and he should be a little older than Xu Qingliu's cheap master.

If Xu Qingliu was still here, he would definitely be able to see that there was a very strong aura on the bodies of these Taoist priests, but it was difficult for ordinary people to feel it.

The Taoist priest sat quietly on the mat that the child had laid out for him, and said to himself: "I must get this thing." ”

Shang Muli and the other four had already completed half of the journey, Taiqingliu hung high in the sky, scorching everyone below, Shang Beikai was almost sweating like rain, and the whole person was in a tired and hot state.

And the old man Shang who was far away in another city didn't know that his grandchildren were in the desert at this time, and they were still fighting wits and courage with their old friends.

But a phone call he received out of the blue let him know about it, but by the time he tried to stop it, it was too late.

That day, as usual, he woke up and began to read some reports and materials sent by the secretary, and suddenly there was a call from home, he picked it up, and the person on the other end of the conversation said respectfully: "Old man, two days ago, we received the positioning information of the young master and the young lady in the northwest of our country, and then all the way to the west, we began to observe closely, but from this morning we began to receive only some weak signals one after another, until noon, the signal disappeared completely. ”

Old Man Shang was shocked, he didn't expect that his grandchildren would have an accident if they stayed at home!

So the elderly old man Xu hurried back to his house, although he did not find Shang Muli and Shang Beikai, but he also saw the letter they Liu gave him.

The letter said that they and Xu Qingliu went out to hunt for treasures together, and the return date was undecided, so he should not worry. At the same time, there was a copy of their treasure map in the envelope.

When Old Man Shang learned that they were going to hunt for treasures and not being caught, his nervous heart immediately calmed down.

However, when the old man looked at the treasure map in his hand, he always felt that there was a little familiarity, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply went with them.

Shang Muli They were almost at the destination of their trip, but they were trapped on the periphery and couldn't take a step forward.

Because they found that the periphery of that oasis was full of quicksand, and the scope of the quicksand was so large that it was impossible to cross it at all.

Xu Qingliu didn't know why, he had been frowning more and more recently, and Shang Muli who watched it felt worried. At this moment, Xu Qingliu furrowed his good-looking brows again: "It seems that we are really going to spend the night outside this oasis." ”

Although they were unwilling, they didn't seem to have any way to get through this quicksand now.

Shang Beikai said with some annoyance: "Since someone can walk through the quicksand and hide the treasure here, then we must also be able to find the person who walked through the quicksand." ”

Xu Qingliu didn't deny Shang Beikai's words, but he knew more clearly that they hadn't found a way to get in now.

Shang Muli didn't want to give up, so he said, "Why don't we take a look around, don't go too far, maybe we can find our way into the oasis if we look closely." ”

But it's a pity that no matter how Shang Muli and Xu Qingliu try to get in outside the quicksand, they can't get in, and they are helpless at will, so everyone can only stay and camp on the periphery.

The time of the night passed in a hurry, and this night because Shang Beikai was also under pressure in his heart, so he didn't make a fuss, he fell asleep quietly, and by the middle of the night, everything was normal and orderly.

That night, the old man was sleeping at the merchant, because he was too lazy to go back, his work over there was almost finished, so it didn't matter if he didn't go over.

Old Man Shang couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night thinking about the picture over and over again, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, he seemed to have grasped something particularly important, so he quickly sat up, took his eyes, and walked towards the study.

The old man's study is generally not allowed to enter by outsiders, so the cleaning aunt of the business, the security guard and the like don't know what is in this study.

The old man Shang took out the letter left by his little grandson from his arms, and then found out the codex when he was young, and after careful comparison, he knew where this treasure map was talking about.

But after learning the specific location, the old man Shang was obviously not calm, he didn't expect his grandchildren to pass, he walked out of the door super irritably, and then walked to the hall, swept a glass of warm water, and stayed on the sofa until dawn.

After dawn, as if he had made some important decision, Old Man Shang called the housekeeper, aunt and security guard: "From today onwards, I will go to find the young master and young lady, and you should keep the door at home." ”

The housekeeper disagreed, and said: "Old man, you are not young anymore, how can you think of a play, you are not young, this trip must be a long way to go, why do you bother to run this trip, the young master and Miss are not a careless person, they will definitely protect themselves outside, and if it really doesn't work, and Young Master Xu Qingliu will follow, nothing will happen to them." ”

Old man Shang knew that this old housekeeper was for his own good, he had followed him for decades, and he was the most loyal, but after hearing this, he still had to say: "That's right, but the place they go to is not an ordinary place, and they will die if they make a few mistakes, which makes me feel at ease, old man." ”

In the end, the housekeeper couldn't resist the old man Shang, so he could only let him out, but he finally fought for it and got the opportunity to go out with the old man.

Xu Qingliu and his party over there had woken up and began to look for a way to enter the oasis, they threw the heavy object that they took out to explore the way, and it didn't take long for it to be swallowed by the yellow sand, and then they also measured it with a tape measure, and the horizontal distance from here to there was five meters, and people couldn't cross it at all.

Now there is a method of manually digging the quicksand layer of the pile, but if it is implemented here, not only the construction is difficult, but also the time consumed is long, and the material is also insufficient. Xu Qingliu could only give up this method and find a way to pass it.

Just when Xu Qingliu was at a loss, Shang Beikai saw a group of people coming over in the distance, and hurriedly called Xu Qingliu and Shang Muli: "Sister, Xu Qingliu, look at it, is there anyone coming over there." ”

When Xu Qingliu heard this, he felt that something was wrong, how could someone usually come over here, and he hurriedly asked Shang Muli to put away the tent and carry the backpack and the like on his back.

Before he had time to explain a few more words to Shang Beikai, the group of people had already approached here.

After they got closer, Xu Qingliu found that they were all wearing Taoist robes, probably some Taoist priests, but looking at these Taoist priests, his eyes were a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw the Taoist priest who was the leader, his eyes were obviously hot again, and he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't open his eyes.

But fortunately, Xu Qingliu can only squint now, otherwise everyone here can probably see that his eyes are turning red little by little, and they are already full of red blood at this time.

When the old man saw Xu Qingliu and his party, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, but he disappeared immediately.

But none of this was hidden from Xu Qingliu's eyes.

The old man stepped forward, made a polite gesture, and said, "I don't know where you came from, where are you going, and what are you going to do here?"

Shang Muli was not prepared to answer his question, because in her opinion, if you still don't understand what is going on, it is better not to speak, lest you say the wrong thing.

But Shang Beikai didn't have the consciousness of her, and when he heard him ask, he couldn't wait to answer, feeling that it was a very face-saving thing for his people to come out to hunt for treasures.

But Xu Qingliu grabbed him and took him behind him.

also politely answered the old question: "We are not from here, we are here to explore the desert, survive in the wild, pass through this oasis, and want to go in to replenish the supplies, but the way is blocked by this quicksand, as for where we come from, please forgive us for not being able to tell us, the elders of the family reminded us when we came out, don't expose your address casually when you go out, so as not to cause disaster to the family." ”

After listening to Xu Qingliu's words, the old Taoist priest didn't have time to say anything, but the little Taoist priest behind him stepped forward and said sharply: "Bold, what my master asks you, you just have to answer, what is worried about safety, my master has always taken saving the people in the world as his own responsibility, how can he go to Shanghai for you." ”

But I didn't know that the old way was obviously much more clever than the little way, so he requited the little way that didn't know how to be polite, and then said to Xu Qingliu gently: "Little friend, please forgive me for this disciple who doesn't know the height of the sky, he came out with me for the first time, and his heart still needs to be honed, since it is inconvenient for you to disclose your family information, it doesn't hurt." But coincidentally, we are also planning to enter this oasis, but we can't enter it, I don't know if you can get in. ”
