Chapter 366: A Town in the Desert
"Look, there's a city not far away!"
Xie Jiuli and the others walked up to the highest sand dunes nearby, and then finally saw a town blown into the color of earth by the yellow sand from the yellow sand on all sides. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe town looks like it's not big, but the nearby walls stretch for miles, and it seems like there's no end in sight.
Wei Xiaoan glanced at it and said strangely: "There is nothing around here, such an abrupt town can't be a mirage, right?"
When light passes through the air, if there is a sudden change in temperature that causes uneven air density, then the light can be refracted and a mirage can occur. Mirages, which in ancient times would have been considered an unpredictable spectacle, often had a mythical tinge when they appeared. But nowadays, there are hardly any people who don't know that a mirage is just a natural phenomenon.
But this natural phenomenon is often accompanied by danger.
Mo Tutu said carefully: "There is sand in this vicinity, are you sure that what we are seeing is a real town, not some mirage?"
Xie Jiuli let out a "uh", and then said, "How can I tell this?"
"We are surrounded by deserts, and only this one is different, which can be regarded as pointing us in a direction that is not a direction. Let's take a look at where we go. ”
So the four of them walked towards the town in the desert, where it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Mo Tutu walked beside Wei Xiao'an, and asked as he walked, "Xiao'an, have you ever seen a mirage?"
Wei Xiaoan said: "I really haven't seen this, although this phenomenon exists, it is generally not common. Besides, what we're seeing now can't just be said to be a mirage, right?"
Mo Tutu snorted, "I hope it's really done." ”
Wei Xiaoan smiled and said, "Actually, I think that in the world of tomb keepers, there are rarely times when the light is very strong. Therefore, the so-called sharp change in temperature may not be very likely to occur. So the town we see should be the real town. ”
Xie Jiuli nodded and said, "Then we just don't know if the town we are going to is a human town or a monster." ”
Qian Qian said lightly: "Even if it is outside the tomb keeper world, we have already left the present world at this moment. How could there be a human town here?"
Xie Jiuli was stunned, "Damn, I didn't expect it......"
After saying that, everyone couldn't help but start laughing.
I don't know why, everyone who comes to a strange place will be a little worried, at least they will not feel at ease that everything that happens in front of their eyes is normal. However, Xie Jiuli and the four of them did not have so much worry and fear. From the moment I came in, I didn't feel this nervousness. It's like, they're really just here to see, just like a normal outing.
Stepping on the desert, the mood is like spring has arrived, and I am comfortable outside.
Is it because of the relationship between Mo Tutu and Mo Tu, so he is not afraid of trouble?
Xie Jiuli thought suspiciously, and found that his footsteps were a little behind, so he followed without thinking too much. "How can you walk so fast in the desert?"
The row of messy footsteps left behind them was soon buried by the wind and sand, and Wei Xiaoan turned his head inadvertently, and suddenly chuckled in his heart.
Sure enough, at this time, I couldn't see how I came here, and I couldn't even tell which sand dune I had just walked on.
In the world of yellow sand, there is no direction, and there is no trace.
I don't know how long I walked, but the sun was still overhead, as if it hadn't moved.
Xie Jiuli subconsciously wanted to look at his watch, but found that the watch had long since failed, and the hands were still stuck in the time before they entered this gap.
He looked up, then behind him. Behind them was a blanket of yellow sand, erasing all traces of their coming. He couldn't help but say, "How long are we going to walk here? How many hours have we been walking? I think it's two hours, right?"
Wei Xiaoan intuitively said: "I think it's not enough, it should be longer." ”
Xie Jiuli looked at him, "There is no watch timekeeping, and the sun has not moved its position, how can you know how much time has passed?"
Wei Xiaoan explained: "As a fitness coach, you will know your limits. At the speed at which we are not walking briskly, it must have been more than three hours since I felt tired and tired to the situation where my mouth was dry and my breath was chaotic. ”
Time is the best timekeeping tool for Wei Xiaoan, even if there is no timer. He can tell how much time has passed around him based on the changes in his body. After all, people are professionals.
Xie Jiuli had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll just say why are you so tired!"
Mo Tutu laughed at him, "That's because we've been chatting with each other, so time feels like time will pass faster." ”
Xie Jiuli shrugged, then looked at Yu Ji and said, "How far do we have to go further?"
"It's okay." ”
Wei Xiaoan put the backpack on the ground, then magically took out two folding tents from the backpack, and then said to Xie Jiuli: "My intuition tells me that if I have to travel far, I must bring this thing!"
Xie Jiuli squatted down and said with interest: "Don't say you have everything in this big bag!"
Wei Xiaoan smiled: "This is my habit, I am used to preparing in advance, even if I don't need it, I feel more relieved to carry it on my back." ”
Xie Jiuli said, "Then I should learn from you." He looked up at the scheming and said, "What do you say, you don't need to bring anything? Why don't you rest in the open tonight and sleep in tents for those of us who need it?"
Xie Jiuli's mouth was full of ridicule, and he was a little speechless. “......”
.......
On the other side, the person who suddenly appeared in the thatched hut had also appeared in the white fog at this moment. He just waved his hand slightly, and the white mist around him dispersed towards the surroundings, and disappeared in an instant!
The man walked to the closed stone door, looked at the recess above, and smiled to himself, "Sure enough, a key is needed here." He took out what looked like a dagger from his bosom, and he used this dagger to gently push it into the lower left of the groove, only to hear a "ding" sound, and the smooth stone surface began to change into the shape of a stone plate. There is a strange pattern on the stone plate, and the middle part is blank!
He took out another piece of jade wrapped in silk cloth from his pocket. The jade also has complex and peculiar patterns on it, which can be placed on the stone plate to form a strange pattern.
After the sound of the "click" gear turning disappeared, Shimen disappeared directly in front of this uninvited guest, and even the process of retracting back to the ground was omitted.
