Chapter 7, The Desert Wither

Hearing Hong Xiaozhong say this, the other three didn't dare to climb up the Daxue Mountain anymore, and they chose the route that seemed to be the safest, that is, to bypass the foot of the Daxue Mountain, although the distance was relatively long.

The four of them walked to the right along the foot of the mountain, but it didn't take long for them to notice the bones of several animals along the way. It looks like a yak. The four of them didn't pay attention and continued to walk along the foot of the mountain, but soon after, the bones of a human appeared in front of them! The four of them were startled! I saw that there was not only this corpse around, there were five corpses not far away, and there was a dusty camera around the bones. Lin Luxian also found a measuring tool half buried in the soil.

Lan Bingyun remembered that Deji Caidan's grandmother had said that a scientific expedition team had disappeared into no man's land, and she said to Lin Luxian, "Is this what Deji Caidan's grandmother said, the disappeared scientific expedition team?" Lin Luxian nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's very possible!"

At this moment, a sudden violent wind suddenly rose! The sand and dust on the snowy mountain were blown down by the strong wind along with the snow! This gust of wind was seven or eight levels violent, and the four of Lin Luxian couldn't stand steadily! The sand and snow were mixed together, making the surroundings blurred! The four of them felt as if they were in the wind and sand of the desert!

The four of them supported each other and struggled against the strong wind and sand. Lin Luxian vaguely saw that in the blurred sand and dust ahead, several animals were slowly approaching them! Waiting for a few animals to slowly come over, Lin Luxian saw clearly that these animals were like yaks, walking on all fours. They have horns on their heads, their faces are like human skulls, there is not a trace of flesh and blood, and they all have a pair of green eyes in their sunken eye sockets! These animals are covered with long black hair, and under the hair, you can see four bone-like feet! Lin Luxian reminded everyone loudly, "It's not good! It's a desert blight!"

The four of them looked at the desert ghosts that were getting closer and closer and panicked, and Hong Xiaozhong shouted, "Run behind us!" We can run faster with the wind on our backs!" But when the four of them all turned around, they found that there were also several desert ghosts on their sides and behind them, and they were already surrounded by the desert ghosts at the moment! These desert ghosts were slow, step by step, leisurely approaching the four people who were surrounded, and the atmosphere was very weird! They stared at Lin Luxian and the four of them with green eyes, and the long black hair on their bodies swayed in the wind...

Looking at these pairs of green eyes, Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong only felt that the world was spinning, and their heads were dizzy. Only Lan Bingyun and Lin Luxian were not affected. Lan Bingyun shook off the whip in his right hand and swung it, the whip whirring in the wind and sand. Lin Luxian hid behind her. Lan Bingyun tried her best to control the whip dancing in the wind, but she found that these desert blighters were like illusory air, no matter how her whip struck, these desert blighters were not harmed in the slightest...

When the desert ghosts were only two or three meters away from Lan Bingyun and the four of them, and surrounded Lan Bingyun and them, these desert ghosts stopped advancing, they kept looking at Lan Bingyun like this, and Lan Bingyun was still waving the whip in vain, she didn't know what else to do except do this...

Soon after, the wind and sand became smaller and smaller, and the desert ghosts slowly retreated and disappeared into the wind and sand. Gradually, the wind stopped, and the surroundings became clear again. At this time, Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong were lying on the ground convulsive, having difficulty breathing, their hands were scratching their bodies, and their faces were flushed!

Lan Bingyun shouted, "What's wrong with you two!

Seeing this, Lin Luxian immediately pressed Hong Xiaozhong's chest with his hand and helped him press it, and Lan Bingyun also learned from him and pressed Huang Xiaoli's chest. After a while of compression, Hong and Huang came to their senses and gasped for air.

Hong Xiaozhong sat up from the ground and asked Lin Luxian, "What happened to me just now?"

Lin Lu replied, "You two just now had a blockage of qi and blood, a violent heartbeat, and difficulty breathing, and your life was on the line! Fortunately, Lan Bingyun and I gave you heart compressions in time, otherwise the two of you would have to meet on Huangquan Road!"

After hearing this, Hong Xiaozhong hurriedly got up and knelt down for Lin Luxian! Huang Xiaoli also learned from Hong Xiaochong and knelt down for Lan Bingyun! Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun were both stunned! Hong Xiaozhong said, "Thank you for saving your life! I, Hong Xiaozhong, am willing to hand over the treasure I found to you!"

Lin Luxian hurriedly helped Hong Xiaozhong and Huang Xiaoli up, "I can't help it, I can't help it! We can't see death without saving it, this is what we should do!" But Lin Luxian was thinking in his heart, "Pull it down, your treasure is still not a word!"

Huang Xiaoli asked about what happened just now, "We were obviously surrounded by desert ghosts in the wind and sand just now, why are all the desert ghosts gone? Did you beat them away?"

"Yes, yes, how did you beat the desert ghosts away?" Hong Xiaozhong also felt incredible

Lin Luxian told Hong and Huang what had just happened, and the two of them also looked at each other after hearing it, and they were even more puzzled.

Lan Bingyun guessed, "The eyes of these desert ghosts seem to be able to make people unconscious, and in severe cases, they may have difficulty breathing, and as for why the two of us are okay, it may be due to the special immunity of our clan... ”

As soon as Hong Xiaozhong heard the word "my clan", he became interested: "Since I climbed the snow mountain, I have felt that the two of you are strange, your physique is far beyond ordinary people, maybe you are really gods, or do you have any special abilities?"

Lin Luxian looked at Lan Bingyun, who shook his head, hinting at keeping a low profile. Lin Luxian had no choice but to prevaricate, "Maybe, it's because we have been trained since we were children, so our physique will be better than ordinary people... ”

Huang Xiaoli hurriedly patted his ass and said, "Wow! It seems that the two of you are childhood sweethearts, and the two of them have no guesses! Since I saw the two of you, I have felt that you two are a match made in heaven!

After Lin Luxian heard this, he hurriedly nodded wildly, "Yes, yes, yes, good vision! What you said is not bad at all!"

After Lan Bingyun heard this, he stepped on his foot while Lin Luxian was not paying attention, and then turned his head away.

It seems that it is far more dangerous to go around the Great Snow Mountain along the foot of the mountain than imagined! Lin Luxian suggested to everyone that it would be better to walk halfway up the mountain.

After that, the four of them began to climb the mountain in a low-key manner, trying not to make too much noise. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the four of them found that the surrounding area was full of snow flowers, which were like blooming cabbages, exuding a faint fragrance.

Hong Xiaozhong squatted down and watched, "Could this be the legendary Tianshan Xue Lian?"

But Huang Xiaoli found a blue snow flower, and he whispered to the others, "Come and see, everyone, there is a blue snow flower." ”

The three of them hurriedly gathered around to watch, Hong Xiaozhong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "This is the legendary Blue Snow Mercy! Ordinary Snow Mercy Flower has the effect of warming the kidneys and aphrodisiac, dispelling cold and dissolving phlegm." And this blue snow flower aphrodisiac effect is better, far better than the deer whip! And there is also a longevity, anti-aging effect! It's a pity that this wild snow flower has been illegally picked in recent years, and other places have been rare, and they are about to become extinct, so the state has designated the wild snow flower as an endangered species, and anyone is prohibited from picking it... ”

Hong Xiaozhong looked at Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun again, and then said, "Although picking is forbidden, for the happiness of Brother Lin, I am willing to risk going to prison to pick off the blue mercy flower and dedicate it to Brother Lin!"

Lin Luxian's face flushed with shame in an instant! Hurriedly excused himself, "No need, no need! Since it is forbidden to pick it, then don't pick it, and maybe, Zang Baize on this mountain is specially guarding Lan Xue Lian, if you find that Lan Xue Lian is gone, she will definitely come to chase us!"

Lan Bingyun also agreed with Lin Luxian's thoughts: "This precious blue snow should not be picked because it is precious! It belongs to this snow mountain, not to anyone." ”

Hong Xiaozhong had no choice but to retract his outstretched hand and follow Lin Luxian and them to continue climbing the mountain. By the time everyone had climbed halfway up the mountain, it was already dark, but the four of them didn't dare to stay halfway up the mountain, they had to quickly bypass halfway through the mountainside without disturbing Zang Baize, so they could only take out food and hurry while eating. But fortunately, it was relatively smooth along the way.

By the time the four of them had rounded the mountainside and had descended to the foot of the mountain, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and there was only the last small snow mountain left in front of them, which was not high, only about three or four hundred meters high, and only at the top of the mountain there was some snow. The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and began to pitch their tents at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the night.

After dawn the next day, Hong Xiaozhong was so excited that he could see the Tianchong Holy Palace as long as he crossed the last small snow mountain, so he walked at the front of the team.

When they climbed the small snow mountain, Hong Xiaozhong found that something was wrong, there was a lot of sand on the small snow mountain, and some fine sand particles were still sliding down the mountain with the breeze. Hong Xiaozhong almost slipped when he stepped on the flowing sand several times! He reminded the three people behind him, "Everyone be careful not to step on the sand, it's very slippery!"

Originally, it only took more than an hour to reach the top of Xiaoxue Mountain, but because everyone carefully avoided the sand, the four of them had to climb for almost three hours to reach the top of the mountain!

After everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, they couldn't help but be surprised! Where else was there any Heavenly Sacred Palace in front of them? There was only boundless yellow sand! Some of the yellow sand was piled up dozens of meters high, like small pyramids in the desert! Hong Xiaozhong was completely dumbfounded! He took out the treasure map from his backpack and looked at it repeatedly: "No! How could this be? There must be something wrong!"

Afterwards, Hong Xiaozhong sat down on the ground, unable to accept the reality in front of him! And Lin Luxian, they didn't know how to comfort him...

After a while, Huang Xiaoli asked everyone, "What should I do now, do I want to go back?" and Lan Bingyun looked at the desert in front of him and didn't know what to do, in this vast desert, where should I go to find someone?

Just when everyone was confused, the wind hit from a distance again, and the four of them saw a huge wind and sand being lifted in the distance on the left, like the water of the Yellow River bursting the embankment, hitting in the direction of their right! The four of them were so frightened that they hurriedly returned, and then quickly went down to the foot of the mountain and set up tents to take refuge.

The wind howled outside the tent for more than a dozen hours.

At seven o'clock the next morning, as soon as Lan Bingyun opened the zipper of the tent, the yellow sand piled up outside poured in! Lin Luxian, who was still lying down, was instantly buried! Lin Luxian struggled to crawl out of the sand, spit out the sand in his mouth, and then shook off the sand on his body. Lan Bingyun didn't hold back, but still laughed. Lin Luxian's face was dazed, he saw that the yellow sand outside the tent was piled up like a beach! He shouted, "Hong Xiaozhong, Huang Xiaoli! Get up and look at the beach!" A moment later, Hong and Huang not far from the tent also climbed out of the tent, covered with sand.

The four of them looked at the surrounding area full of sand, and they were even more confused, Hong Xiaozhong was completely desperate, "Hey, it seems that we have no chance for the treasure of the Chongsheng Palace this day!"

Huang Xiaoli also had the intention of retreating, "It's better to go back as soon as possible, you can't find anything in this yellow sand desert." ”

Lin Luxian also persuaded Lan Bingyun, "Bingyun, you also saw it, the situation here is like this, I'm afraid it will be impossible to look for it again... Lan Bingyun was no longer obsessed, "Okay, I can only go back first and make another plan... ”

After everyone agreed, they packed everything up and started to go back the way they came. Everyone walked hard on the beach, and every time they stepped on it, they would sink into the sand for dozens of centimeters, so it was quite difficult to pull out their feet every time.

It didn't take long for Lin Luxian to feel that he had stepped on something hard, and he bent down and reached into the sand to fumble his way. When he took out this piece of thing to observe, the sharp-eyed Chong Xiaochong found that it was a green glazed tile, with some incomprehensible characters engraved on it, and the age was quite long ago! Hong Xiaozhong hurriedly came over, and he shouted loudly in surprise: "Tianchong Sacred Palace! Tianchong Sacred Palace is near here! I have seen a photo of Tianchong Sacred Palace, and the tiles are on top of Tianchong Sacred Palace!"

Huang Xiaoli heard Hong Xiaozhong say this, and he also became excited. Even Lan Bingyun was interested, and he said to Lin Luxian, "Let's also follow them to find the Tianchong Sacred Palace, in this vast desert, it seems that there is only this Tianchong Sacred Palace!

Hong Xiaozhong stepped over the beach in front of him and began to climb up the small snow mountain again, followed by the rest of the people.

After climbing all the way to the top of the mountain, everyone saw that in the desert in the distance, there was already a magnificent palace! The top of the palace was covered with blue and green glazed tiles, and all kinds of beasts were decorated on the top of the palace, and a string of bells were hung under each of the four eaves of the palace. Looking down the palace, the palace is supported by four large red lacquered columns, which alone are nearly ten meters high! The front of the palace has a large gate with two wooden stained windows on each side of the gate. The walls of this palace have been weathered for many years, but they are still white.

It turned out that Lin Luxian and the others didn't see the Tianchong Sacred Palace yesterday because the Tianchong Sacred Palace was buried by the wind and sand, but after a strong wind blew for more than ten hours in a row, the buried Tianchong Sacred Palace saw the light of day again!

Hong Xiaozhong knelt down excitedly, he looked at the magnificent and gorgeous Tianchong Holy Palace in the desert, and was speechless for a while. Huang Xiaoli was also so excited that he pinched his thighs, "It's not a dream, it's not an illusion, it's not a mirage!"

The four of them came down from the snow-capped mountain and marched step by step towards the Tianchong Sacred Palace in the distance. More than three hours later, he finally came to the gate of Tianchong Holy Palace, Huang Xiaoli touched the door, and said excitedly, "Yes, it's real, everything is real!"
