When Aspen arrived on the first day, he was also struck by the delicate beauty of the crescent moon.

In the midst of this yellow sand, there is such a bend of clear spring water, which feels like an all-powerful god and immortal, carved with ingenious magical techniques.

The ancient buildings of the Crescent Spring are on the side of the arc of the Crescent Spring, and looking down from the Mingsha Mountain, it can be seen that the Crescent Spring and the ancient buildings are exactly in an arc.

The whole building complex is majestic and magnificent, antique, and the halls and pavilions are scattered.

Its core building is an octagonal four-storey imitation Tang wooden tower. The eaves are arched, covered with green tiles. It is said that this tower has existed since ancient times, but it has been destroyed by fire several times, and it is rebuilt when it is now the Republic of China.

There are also "Yuequan Pavilion", "Mingxiang Zhai", "Listen to Lei Xuan" and so on.

There are ten people in the Crescent Spring Management Office, five of whom are responsible for cleaning and maintenance in the scenic area, three are docents, and two are the principal and deputy leaders.

Among them, the deputy leader retired due to illness, and Bai Yang came to replace the deputy leader.

Although it was only a temporary replacement, several managers did not know this, and seeing that Poplar was so young, everyone thought that Poplar must have a strong background.

So although these people are very unconvinced in their hearts, they are quite polite to Poplar on the surface.

Although the total area of the ancient buildings of Crescent Spring is not small, after all, it is located in the yellow sand, and it can be said that every inch of land is very precious. As a result, the manager's living quarters can only be located in two small rooms in the most remote areas.

The exterior of the room looks just as antique, but that's just to match the style of the ancient buildings and avoid being too obtrusive.

In fact, when you open the door and enter, the facilities inside are very simple.

One of them is a dormitory and the other is a canteen.

But because it is in the scenic area, the food supply in the canteen is very simple, and try to avoid the smoke and fire corroding the ancient buildings.

The other ten managers are all Dunhuang locals, and the leaders rarely appear in the scenic area even during the day.

The three docents and the five cleaning and maintenance workers all come to work in the scenic spot during the day and return to their homes in Dunhuang at night.

Of course, at night, people should be on duty in the scenic spot, and that dormitory is prepared for the staff on duty.

In the past, five cleaning and maintenance personnel were on duty in turn, but since Poplar came, he himself was transferred from other places, so he naturally stayed in the scenic spot every night to rest.

In this way, the five cleaning and maintenance personnel were saved from their shifts and the five cleaning and maintenance personnel were somewhat genuinely welcome to the arrival of Poplar.

On the same day, he sent off a few staff members, and Poplar closed the gate of the scenic spot, and while it was not yet dark, he walked around.

In fact, on the first night of his visit, Poplar had already searched several pavilions carefully.

Because Ding Sicheng said that there were inverted people who thought that there was a map of the tomb under the crescent moon spring hidden in the ancient building complex of Crescent Spring, Bai Yang thought that if there was a map, he must find it out before the inverted people.

But there are also dozens of houses in the Crescent Spring Ancient Complex, and if he wants to search them one by one, he will definitely not be able to do it in one or two nights.

Soon it was dark, and the aspen was nothing.

Although each pavilion is lit, Poplar doesn't want outsiders to see that the pavilion is brightly lit, so he turns on his flashlight and continues to search, but suddenly realizes how stupid and stupid he must be.

Because if there is really a big tomb under the crescent moon spring, it must also be a tomb in ancient times. If there is a map of the Great Tomb, it can only exist in the original complex.

However, from ancient times to the present, the ancient buildings of Crescent Spring have been repeatedly destroyed, and the ancient buildings that exist at present were rebuilt in the Republic of China at the earliest.

In other words, nothing from ancient times can be hidden in existing pavilions.

But if it's not in the pavilion, it's even more clueless. He couldn't dig all the ground in the complex to see if there was anything hidden inside.

Poplar was very discouraged, and walked out of the pavilion, and looked at his watch, which was just past eight o'clock, and it was too early to go to bed in the dormitory.

So he simply followed the path paved with yellow sand and walked out of the crescent spring to climb Mingsha Mountain.

The night was silent, and he could clearly hear the subtle sound of the sand beneath his feet, the melodious sound, and the name of the sand was true.

However, Mingsha Mountain is steep and full of yellow sand, and it is very difficult to climb up during the day, let alone at night.

In addition, it is the second half of the lunar calendar, and the moon will not rise until very late, and although Poplar is holding a flashlight, he feels that lighting up will ruin the atmosphere.

So he climbed up in the dark for a while, and then felt that his legs and feet were sore, so he had to stop, turned around and looked into the distance, and the lights in Dunhuang County came into view.

The poplar took a deep breath in the cool evening breeze and simply lay upright on the sand and watched the stars.

He didn't want the sand to float and the slope was steep, as soon as he lay down, he felt his whole body slide down the sand.

And the speed of the slide is getting faster and faster, and at first Poplar tried to support his body with his hands, but soon found that there was nothing to borrow, and finally simply raised his arms and let the sand carry him down the slope.

Listening to the sound of the sand grains under him, Poplar felt very funny and couldn't help laughing.

It wasn't until he got down the slope that his body finally stopped sliding, and the sand was clearly inside his clothes, but Poplar didn't bother to pay attention to it, and just lay on his back on the sand, looking out at the deep canopy.

On a moonless night, the stars look particularly energetic, and Bai Yang suddenly thought that it would be great if Ding Lingling was by his side, and the two of them would lie on the yellow sand together and watch the starry sky, which would be a beautiful thing to think about.

He just lay there all the time, the sand beneath him warmed by the daytime sun, but the cool breeze of the night blew softly, so comfortable that he just wanted to sleep.

As a result, he really fell asleep in a daze, and woke up in shock, it was already late at night.

The yellow sand beneath him had become cold, but the night wind was getting colder.

The moon rose and reflected the undulating sand mountains, revealing a desolate beauty.

Poplar got up, and did not need to turn on the flashlight, but walked in the direction of the crescent moon spring by the moonlight.

He didn't want to just walk on the sandy road leading to the ancient complex, and suddenly, he felt something unusual.

He immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the Crescent Spring.

He saw a long golden dragon leaping up from the spring, with its mouth wide open, as if it was about to devour everything.

The poplar was startled, and hurriedly looked closely, where there was a golden dragon, only to see the crescent spring water sparkling in the reflection of the moon.

The weeds at the water's edge are also swaying in the wind, showing a sense of tranquility and serenity.

But past experience told him that since he had seen the vision, the rumors of a large tomb down there were just afraid that it was not groundless.

But the problem is that he has seen the bone-eating fireflies, the blood wolves guarding the tomb, and the maids of the goddesses.

These things basically exist to protect the tomb - including the maid, but also to protect the sleeping goddess.

But what does this golden dragon mean?

Could it be that under this crescent moon spring, there is really a golden dragon sleeping?

At least according to Poplar's cognition, the dragon is just a legendary artifact, and it is impossible for it to really exist.

What's more, the golden dragon, which has never even appeared in legends.

- The so-called "Golden Dragon Chengxiang" is just an auspicious word. In fact, since ancient times, there have only been water dragons, fire dragons, green dragons, white dragons, and even oolong black dragons. The image of the golden dragon can only appear on the emperor's clothes and the pillars of the palace.

But since he had seen the vision, there must be a large tomb down there—at least some strange things that had existed for thousands of years.

It's as if he once saw a goddess maid, and it turns out that not only does the goddess really exist, but there is even a goddess who has lived for more than 2,000 years!

But could this strange thing really be below the Crescent Spring?

If so, if this thing is to be excavated, wouldn't it be necessary to destroy the entire ancient complex of Crescent Spring? or even to destroy the Crescent Spring, which has not dried up for thousands of years?

Is it worth the price?

The more Bai Yang thought about it, the more he had a headache, so he could only put aside these problems and go back to the dormitory to sleep first.

Ma Bingxiao didn't come to him the next day, but on the third day, before the door closed, Ma Bingxiao came.

Because you still need to cross a sand beam to enter the Crescent Spring Scenic Area, the motorcycle will definitely not come in.

Ma Bingxiao could only carry a brand-new bicycle and a big bag in one hand, and greeted several managers with a smile as he walked.

He is the only small owner of a private company in Dunhuang, and almost everyone in Dunhuang knows him, but he doesn't necessarily know others.

Several managers didn't expect that Poplar actually knew such a household of more than 10,000 yuan, and they had guessed that Poplar must have a strong background, so they were even more respectful of Poplar.

When several managers returned to Dunhuang after work, Baiyang closed the gate of the scenic spot, Ma Bingxiao opened the bag, took out a few cooked meat and vegetables from it, plus a bottle of good wine, and said with a smile: "I brought some meat and vegetables, and also brought a bottle of wine, our brothers eat and drink well, and then ask Brother Bai to guide me a few sword moves!"

Bai Yang was busy with a few humble words, so he put the meat and vegetables on a small wooden table in the dormitory, and the two sat down opposite each other, chatting while eating.
