Chapter 176: Mirage

Chen Xiaoyan was so amused by this Yuan Mazi that she couldn't speak, and turned her head to the side.

"Indeed, we went into this desert to find people. Zhuo Feng said.

"What is there to find in this vast desert? If you want to find this person, you must either have a favor with you or a grudge against you. Yuan Mazi squinted at Zhuo Feng and said.

"Let's not discuss this issue for the time being, because we are traveling in a group by ourselves, by the way, find that person, do you want to join your team, search for the mobile Haizi, and explore the treasures of the ancient tombs of the Western Regions, I can't be the master alone, we have to discuss it and then reply to you, how about it?"

"Well, okay, this kind of thing is not forced. ”

Yuan Mazi knew that this antiquity presented to Zhuo Feng and them was very attractive to everyone, but it was also quite dangerous, no one could make a good commitment for others, and only when everyone went voluntarily, this thing was done.

These tents, Mongolian felt wrapping in another place.

"Just now, I explained to you the dangerous situation of going to the sea to explore treasures, I don't know if you have thought it through, this is not fun. ”

Zhuo Feng said.

"Then Fengzi, are you going or not?" Liu Sheng glanced at Hu Xinyi and asked.

"I didn't plan to go with this person, but Xiao Yan reminded me that this incident might be the same ancient tomb in the northwest that Jiao Yaohou and his gang investigated. If so, it will save us time and energy, because this man knows as much about the desert as anyone else, and can lead us to find the tomb faster. ”

That Yuan Mazi wanted to use Zhuo Feng and others to help him find the moving Haizi, and Zhuo Feng also needed him as a guide to help him find the Northwest Ancient Tomb as soon as possible, which seemed to be different reasons, but in fact, everyone was using each other.

What will happen to you in the future, what the result will be, no one knows now.

I also asked Xinyi, and she said that since she had come here, it was not very cost-effective to turn back now, and besides, with such a strange trip, she could also show off in front of her sisters when she went back, so she said to keep going. So we both have no opinion and can continue. Liu Sheng glanced at Hu Xinyi, Hu Xinyi took Liu Sheng's arm and nodded.

"I'm willing to join in. If this matter is really expected by me, I am also very happy, besides, isn't the purpose of our trip just for the antiquities of the country?" Chen Xiaoyan said.

"Hehe, I'd like to. Where Brother Xiaofeng goes, where do I go. Sister Xiaoyan still wants me to protect her!" Hanwa smiled.

Zhuo Feng patted Hanwa's shoulder: "Since everyone is willing to go, you must pay attention to it, don't be separated from the people around you, don't act alone, and help each other." ”

"Well, we got it. The crowd said in unison.

Back at Yuan Mazi's tent, Yuan Mazi had already packed his bags, as if he knew early in the morning that Zhuo Feng would agree.

This man is not simple.

A pair of eyes seem to be able to see through each other's hearts.

"To introduce me officially, my name is Zhuo Feng, and these are my friends, Chen Xiaoyan, Liu Sheng, Hu Xinyi and Hanwa. We are willing to go with you into the desert in search of a moving sea of sand. Zhuo Feng introduced everyone to Yuan Mazi one by one.

"Little brother Zhuo Feng, hello, everyone. The contemptible person is called Yuan Tao, but everyone in this desert calls me Yuan Mazi, so everyone calls himself Yuan Mazi. Let's go now, do you have a car?"

"Yes, at the entrance to the front opening. Liu Shengdao.

"Then let's go. ”

As soon as the group arrived at the parking lot, someone was shouting from behind.

"Brother Zhuo Feng, Brother Zhuo Feng. Wait a minute. ”

Everyone turned around and saw He Changjun running over with his bags on his back, the bags that were still bulging yesterday had collapsed, it seemed that the deal was good, and the transaction was over.

"Brother He Changjun, do you have anything else?" asked Zhuo Feng.

"Today's market is very smooth, the jewelry and items brought are all traded, just saw you walking towards the entrance, I want to come up to express my gratitude to you, these things are traded in exchange for gadgets, I hope you can accept, in order to show my gratitude. ”

He Changjun said as he grabbed a large handful of strange stones or exquisite ornaments from his backpack and put them on Zhuo Feng's hand.

"How can this make it, carrying you is also a gesture, saving you from the wolves, in fact, is also saving ourselves. It doesn't have to be. ”

Zhuo Feng shirked.

"Since it's a piece of the other party's heart, do you think you should accept it. Chen Xiaoyan lost a look and dissuaded Zhuo Fengdao.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoyan said this, Zhuo Feng had no choice but to accept these small items and put them in his backpack.

"Brother Zhuo Feng, where are you going in this line now? This is ......?"

He Changjun packed his bags and asked.

"Oh, maybe we won't be able to take you back again, we'll have to go into the desert. Liu Sheng came up and said directly.

"Well, I don't know what you're going to do when you go to the desert, or take me with you, I have a lot of experience in the desert. "How do you think He Changjun directly said that he also wanted to go into the desert.

Liu Sheng knew that he had missed his mouth, so he looked up at Zhuo Feng.

Yuan Tao on the side said: "This is a good thing, many people have more strength." I'm still thinking, there are two big girls here, and there are a little bit of understaff, so you want to join in, welcome. My name is Yuan Tao. ”

He stretched out his hand to shake hands with He Changjun.

"My name is He Changjun, and I am a backhand in this bazaar, doing some small business. I'm glad you can take care of me. ”

At this time, Zhuo Feng couldn't stop it, so he had to let He Changjun also get into the car and enter the desert together.

Liu Sheng carefully inspected the vehicle again, filled up his tank, and headed into the desert.

Under the guidance of Yuan Tao, the group quickly found the place where Haizi had appeared before.

Yuan Tao and Zhuo Feng carefully examined the traces of the moving sea, and said that if they wanted to continue the pursuit, they had to walk into the desert with their feet and could no longer ride in the vehicle.

So everyone got out of the car, packed their bags, and brought enough drinking water, food, related equipment and protective equipment inside.

Zhuo Feng praised Hanwa very much, if it weren't for him carrying three big bags alone, the two girls would have to cry.

After locking the vehicle, the group walked into the desert in the direction guided by Yuan Tao.

"Look, look, mirage. After leaving, Hu Xinyi suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Where, where, where is there a mirage?" Liu Sheng ran forward and asked.

"There, there, northwest. Hu Xinyi excitedly pointed to the northwest.

It was noon, and it was not surprising to see a mirage in the desert, but it was a rare thing for the boys and girls who grew up in these big cities.

"There. ”

Zhuo Feng stood beside Chen Xiaoyan, using a scarf to shade him, while pointing in a direction.

"Well, I saw that. Chen Xiaoyan said, not as excited as Hu Xinyi.

Although Chen Xiaoyan is also in the desert for the first time, she knows from her grandfather's relevant books that the more excited people are in the desert, the more water they will lose.

Sure enough, after walking a lot, Hu Xinyi seemed to be dehydrated, her whole body was weak, her lips were dry, and she was muttering to herself.

Liu Sheng hurriedly helped her aside, took off the drinking water, and carefully and slowly fed her water.

Zhuo Feng also stepped forward and took out a small piece of chicken and asked Liu Sheng to feed it to Hu Xinyi.

The water and chicken went down the throat, and after slowing down, Hu Xinyi stood up, put on her backpack and continued to walk.

"Brother Zhuo Feng, what did you just give that girl to eat?"

Yuan Tao looked at the situation in front of him suspiciously, it was incredible, and asked Zhuo Feng.

"Oh, nothing, a small piece of chicken. It's called Chicken Chicken, and this girl loves to eat this chicken. Zhuo Feng lied.

He Changjun was also a little puzzled, but he was not as surprised as Yuan Tao, so he made up for the water and continued to move forward.

The sun was just shining, and there was nowhere to rest, so everyone had to walk slowly.

Yuan Tao still walked at the front of the team, carefully looking for the traces of the moving sea.

"Look, look, look, it's a mirage again. After walking for nearly an hour, Hu Xinyi shouted again.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed out, what kind of mirage was this, it was clearly an ancient ruins.

Unexpectedly, everyone is looking for clues from Haizi, and there is no clue, but this girl from Madahar has found the 'mirage' twice, is this what people say, is it a coincidence?

"It's not a mirage, it's an ancient site. Yuan Tao shouted excitedly in front.

Zhuo Feng and Chen Xiaoyan also looked up at the looming ancient ruins in the distance, and they didn't expect to be so lucky to find one.

stepped forward to help Hanwa untie a backpack, put it on his back, and let Hanwa replenish the water.

"Hanwa, are you tired?"

"Brother Xiaofeng, it's okay. Hey. ”

"Pay attention to your step, step by step, don't step on the air. Zhuo Feng said.

As he spoke, he pulled Chen Xiaoyan and walked towards the ancient ruins in the distance.

Over a large sand dune, everyone saw this ancient ruin.

Speaking of ancient ruins, it is actually just a fragment of the ancient city wall. But this piece of ancient city wall stretches for a long time, nearly eight or nine hundred meters long under the eye, but there is no additional side of this ancient city wall, I don't know if it was buried by wind and sand. If it weren't for the large sand dunes that I just climbed to block the wind and sand, this wall would have been eroded or buried by the wind and sand.

Each of these ancient wall bricks is 50 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, and it seems that the project at that time was also very large.

Chen Xiaoyan took pictures while recording data.

After finding a place in the shade, Zhuo Feng asked everyone to gather all the materials together, after a simple meal, he replenished the water, and rested in the shade, and everyone dispersed, combined in pairs, and explored the ruins.

"This should also be the capital of one of the small countries during the Han Dynasty in ancient times. Yuan Tao said.

"How is it judged?" He Changjun asked rhetorically.

"If it weren't for the capital, no one would have spent so much energy and money to mine huge stones from the mountains thousands of miles away to make the foundation of the city walls. Yuan Tao pointed to the thick ancient wall brick road.

He Changjun knocked it with his hand, and then took out a hammer from his backpack and knocked it, it was indeed a wall tile cut by a boulder.

"Then how do you tell that these boulders were transported from thousands of miles away?" He Changjun asked again.

"Young man, you have to judge by the knowledge you have accumulated. If you look at the cross-section of this rock, the faults formed are quite obvious and layered due to geological movements. Most of the Gobi rocks in the desert have been weathered and eroded, and the surface is extremely smooth, the whole is transparent, and there is no sense of hierarchy. And these rocks are only produced on the snowy plateau, so didn't they travel thousands of miles away?

"Why is it said that it is a small country during the Han Dynasty, you can look closely at the carved small characters on the wall tiles, which are all ancient characters commonly used at that time, as long as you are familiar with ancient Chinese characters, or understand the cultural customs of the 36 countries in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, this is not a difficult matter, you can draw conclusions. Yuan Tao replied.

"Who are you, and how can you draw so many conclusions from this less obvious information?"
