Chapter 42: Coin Toss

"Old man, you took a group of foreigners into the desert not long ago, didn't you?"

An Liman stopped what he was doing and glanced at Chu Nan, "I don't know what you're talking about." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"They're here to find the Exquisite Ancient City, right? They did the tomb last night, right?"

An Li was full of hesitation and pursed his lips, "They are all bad people, very bad people, God will punish them." ”

"Old man, I'm not here to ask the master, and I know that you are in trouble, but we are willing to meet with them, so I want you to provide a little information. Let's put it this way, did they bring guns?"

An Liman didn't say anything, just nodded.

Chu Nan brought the bad news to Hu Bayi, and as soon as he communicated, he didn't expect them to also hit a wall, the two professors and Miss Yang were not only ready to go back, but also decided to speed up the trip, so as to protect the ancient city before the gang of tomb robbers found the exquisite ancient city, I really don't know what to say.

After synthesizing the information of both parties, the fat man was so angry that he scolded his mother.

After all, one side is a brave and well-equipped old man, and the other side is an archaeologist who can only shoot cannons.

Chu Nan patted them on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry, the vast desert is not so easy to meet, let's go." ”

In the days that followed, the archaeological team went deeper and deeper into the black desert, and finally lost its direction.

Anlimon stopped the camel, then crouched on the ground, picked up a handful of sand, and threw it back. "I can't see the traces of the dark river clearly, and if I go any further, the traces will definitely be gone, and at that time, I really can't help you. ”

"We are not far from the Exquisite Ancient City, even if there are no traces, we still have a compass in our hands, and a road map in our notebook, we should be able to find it, no matter what, I have to move forward, such a large ruin of the Exquisite Country, there must have been a dark river or water flow back then, even if the ground has dried up, the underground water veins may not dry up, there will definitely be a way!"

The more Shirley Yang spoke, the more excited he became, and the more Chu Nan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

An Liman was really powerless, "Girl, don't worry, I mean, we've been walking for so long, we should have seen Zagrama Mountain, but..."

"Uncle!"

Shirley Yang had already put on a crying tone, and his eyes were red, while Chu Nan felt even more weird.

An Liman also doesn't want to fall into the reputation of bullying a little girl, isn't that a bad holiday?

Well, although his temperance is almost lost.

"Okay, then let's go a little further and maybe see Mount Kinabalu. ”

"Thank you, uncle. Shirley laughed.

Chu Nan glanced back, everyone was sleepy, and no one could walk. Several members of the archaeological team now have only half a life left, especially Xiao Ye, who is about to faint.

"Okay, today is enough to catch up with the day, everyone take a break. ”

After obtaining everyone's consent, Lao Hu built a simple awning with canvas, and everyone hid in the shadows to avoid showing their heads.

Chu Nan took off his hat and fanned it, and said with a smile: "Until now, I know that the feeling of 'where to stay cool' is really not a curse." ”

For Chu Nan's spirit of happiness in suffering, everyone will smile.

Lao Hu glanced at the extraordinarily large sun and proposed, "This sun is too poisonous, let's rest for a while." ”

Chu Nan nodded, then went to the camel he was riding and brought a kettle, and when he came back, he found that Professor Chen was starting to be impassioned again:

“... I've been engaged in archaeology for half my life, and I've been fighting tomb robbers for half my life, and although I'm not fighting them face-to-face, I'm competing with them every day. This archaeology and tomb robbery is like a battlefield without gunpowder, we are excavating, researching, and protecting, they are stealing, destroying, and reselling, and I hate them!"

"I don't sound like a difference. Wang Fatzi muttered.

Hu Bayi hurriedly pounded it with his elbow to shut him up, while Professor Hao and the others were probably exhausted and surprisingly didn't quarrel with the fat man. However, Chu Nan has completely given up on being fat, the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change.

-----

"Professor Chen, it seems that there is a problem with our compass, watch, and compass, it should be the cause of the Magnetic Mountain, according to Miss Yang's notebook, we must be near the Magnetic Mountain, but the problem is, where is the Magnetic Mountain, none of us have seen. ”

"Lao Hu is very objective. Chu Nan took over the conversation, "And even if we find Magnetic Mountain, we don't know how far it is from the Exquisite Ancient City, it may be a few hours, it may be a few days, or even more." ”

"Now one way is to leave tonight and go back, and on the last few days on the way back you will eat camel meat, drink salty sand wozi water, and open the eleventh, and the other way is to bite the bullet and continue to look for the city, if there is a water source in the city, everyone will be saved. ”

"I understand, what we are facing now is nothing more than two choices, one is to go to the ancient city, but it is more risky, and the other is the tomb of Prince Gumo, which is relatively safe, is that what does it mean?" Professor Hao asked.

"That's right. Lao Hu nodded, "Old man An Liman, you are the guide, I don't know what your opinion is?"

An Liman held a cigarette pouch, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, and said: "There is only one sky in the world, and there is only one sun in the sky, God will give us a direction." Well, of course, I listen to God. ”

Lao Hu pointed to the sky: "Then you should hurry up and ask, what did God and his old man say?"

An Liman knocked the old cigarette pouch, inserted it back into his waist, and then knelt down without saying a word, began to pray with a reverent face, turned his palms inward, facing his face, reciting scriptures, the expression on his face was pious and solemn, not like the cunning appearance of the philistine on weekdays.

"You're not done, old man. "It's Wang Fatzi again, Chu Nan doesn't bother to take care of him.

An Liman took off the necklace around his neck, and tied to it was a ring-shaped silver coin, engraved with strange words on one side and patterns on the other, it didn't seem to be a simple thing, maybe there was some big secret hidden.

"Hu Dama, he has already given us enlightenment. The side with the words is to move on, and the side with the painting is to go back the way it came. ”

Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, looking at each other, especially Lao Hu, pulling An Liman's sleeve and asking, "Old man, you, are you sure this is not a joke?"

Who knows the piety on An Liman's face, "I'm not joking, I'm very serious." ”

"Yes, you're serious when you're joking. Again, this kind of unstingy tone.

Chu Nan glared at him, "Fat Wang, be serious!" and then turned his attention to An Liman.

This should be the first time that Chu Nan has called him Wang Fatzi on his face.

It's no wonder that Chu Nan is so serious, because at that moment just now, An Liman had already opened this silver coin, and this technique was definitely not an Islamic inheritance of the art of transformation, but the same as the four-eyed Dao Chang Kaiguang bronze sword.

This guy turned out to be a disciple of Maoshan!

But why didn't this guy cultivate himself? Could it be that he went mad and lost his temper in practice? Or was he persecuted when he was young and then left Xinjiang?

An Liman didn't know that Chu Nan had made up a singing and crying legend for him, so he just handed the coin to Professor Chen:

"Professor Chen, you are an elder, you come to toss this coin, and the result of throwing it is God's will. Come, you come and throw. ”

Professor Chan took the coin and tossed it high into the air, and everyone looked up at the coin and the sun was shining brightly, but saw the coin fall from the sky and stand in the sand.

What a cheat!
