Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 117 Dragon Tomb Map
Poplar hurriedly asked why.
Ma Daoxian said: "That black desert is very vast, and it will take us at least half a day to reach the desert that is completely invisible. But we entered the tomb at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and when the Tinn found us, it was between five and six o'clock. In other words, we walked out of that ancient tomb in the black desert, and it would take us two hours at most. It's only been two hours, and it's hard for us to even get out of that black desert, let alone walk to the black desert that is completely invisible!"
"Yes!" Ma Daocheng sighed, "At that time, the Ding En people led the archaeological team to get lost in the desert, he asked the team members to rest in place, and he climbed a sand mountain to identify the direction, and it happened to find us. We felt so foggy that we couldn't see anything in the distance, but the Dinn saw us very clearly. Later, the Dinn asked us what had happened and why we were killing each other, and we told the truth, and the Tinn did not disbelieve us. It's a pity that their archaeological team has expanded their scope and searched for a long time in the surrounding area, but there has never been any trace of the black desert. Eventually, the Dinn had to take us out of the desert and help us hide the murder all the time. ”
The brothers' story is finally over completely, although Bai Yang and the others have experienced several thrilling and terrifying things, but Ma Daocheng's experience of Ma Daoxian still makes them feel thrilling and terrifying.
Several people were silent for a while, and then Ding Lingling raised the brown paper bag she had been holding in her hand and said, "What is in this, Uncle Ma hasn't told me yet!"
"But no, I'm talking and pulling away from it!" Ma Daocheng smiled awkwardly, "Inside this paper bag is the map of the legendary dragon tomb under the Crescent Spring!"
As soon as these words came out, several young people exclaimed in unison.
Ma Bingxiao shouted, "Dad, what you said is true? The map of the Dragon Tomb ...... It's always in our hands?"
Ma Daocheng nodded and said to Ding Lingling: "That time, your father rescued the three of us and came back, and only mentioned one request to us, that is, don't do any more things in the future! But those elders have already met with accidents, let's talk about ...... After such a terrible incident, our brothers were really afraid, so we listened to the instructions of Ding Enren and vowed not to fight again for the rest of our lives. So when we got home, we sorted out some of the old things from the past, which ones should be kept, and those that were simply thrown away. As a result, among the relics of the first master, an old map was found. ”
As he said this, Ding Lingling opened the brown paper bag and pulled out two folded pieces of paper from inside.
Poplar and Apricot sat on either side of her, helping her spread out the two pieces of paper.
One of the sheets of paper was found to be yellowish in color, and it was not modern paper, but looked like ancient high-quality rice paper.
It is boxy, with a length and width of one foot and two or three.
There are some simple patterns and lines painted on it, which look like pavilions, and the lines clearly point in the same direction.
The other piece of paper was a modern white paper, about the same size as the old drawing, but with only lines and some simplified Chinese characters on it.
Those simplified Chinese characters are the names of ancient buildings such as Yuequan Pavilion and Tinglei Xuan.
Bai Yang and the other three didn't know why, and they all raised their heads to look at Ma Daocheng.
Ma Daocheng said: "We don't know where this old map came from, and when he was alive, he never mentioned it to us. However, because the buildings on this old map are completely different from the existing buildings in Crescent Spring, our brothers spent several years comparing the terrain on the old map with the current Crescent Spring's terrain back and forth, and finally drew this new map. ”
Poplar saw that the two maps were really not similar in the slightest, and you can imagine how much effort the two brothers had put into creating this new map.
But the brothers actually endured not coming to Crescent Spring to rob the tomb, they must not only be frightened by the things in the Black Desert, but also strictly abide by the guarantee made to Ding Sicheng.
Sure enough, Ma Daocheng said: "But my brothers remember the teachings of the Ding Enren, and they don't dare to think of fighting again. Moreover, legends have been saying since ancient times that what is hidden under the crescent moon spring is not a human tomb, but a dragon tomb. I think...... It was our brothers who agreed that even if there could be no dragons in the world, since the rumors about the dragon tomb have been passed down to this day, what is hidden under the crescent moon spring will definitely not be an ordinary tomb, but a ...... Maybe it's something terrible. We really don't want to go through that horrible thing anymore, and our business is so busy now that we don't need to go to the Tomb Raid anymore! All the way up to ......"
As he said this, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"At the beginning of last month, it suddenly rained heavily for a few days, and some people said that they saw the golden dragon soaring in the crescent spring. But our brother didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he let the others go upside down, anyway, the tomb map is in our hands, and the others are just tossing around. It wasn't until that day that Comrade Bai showed me the seal of the Fat Mound that I learned that the Ding people had also noticed the rumors of the dragon tomb under the Crescent Spring, so our brothers discussed it and decided to hand over the two maps to the Ding people. ”
Ding Lingling was very grateful, but also had a question, and said: "The legend of the Dragon Tomb of Crescent Spring should have existed since the Han Dynasty, right? But the rice paper used in this old map only began to appear in the Tang Dynasty. And according to my observation, this piece of rice paper should not have come from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Song Dynasty. So...... When Uncle Ma found this old map, he wondered if there was anything else related to this map?"
"No!" Ma Daocheng immediately shook his head, "My brother and I have also done an appraisal, and this map is indeed from the Song Dynasty, so ...... According to my brother and I, either the so-called Dragon Tomb is completely empty and this map is not really a map of the Dragon Tomb, or in the Song Dynasty, someone found the previous map, but maybe the previous map was in tatters, so this person re-copied the map according to the old map. ”
Ma Daocheng's speculation was actually very close to Baiyang's speculation, so Baiyang nodded first.
Ding Lingling thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I'm very grateful to Uncle Ma for handing over this map to me! I will call my dad immediately, and what to do next depends on how my dad arranges it! If this map is really ...... The map of the tomb, Uncle Ma can be said to have made a great contribution to the cause of archaeology!"
Ma Daocheng hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say anything to contribute or not, the Ding people have the grace of life to my brother, we really hope to be able to do something for the Ding people more or less!"
Bai Yang was full of respect for this pair of old brothers, and he believed that Ding Lingling was the same, so he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and took the initiative to salute Ma Daoxian as Ma Daoxian's brother.
After eating, Ma Bingxiao still drove Bai Yang and the other three back to Crescent Spring.
However, Ding Lingling asked Ma Bingxiao to go to the post office first, and she had to make a long-distance call back to Xi'an.
Although there is a telephone at Crescent Spring, it can't make long-distance calls.
Bai Yang and Ding Lingling entered the post office together, but the long-distance call had to be made inside, and Ding Lingling lowered her voice, and Bai Yang didn't hear what she said between her and Ding Sicheng.
But Bai Yang didn't ask, and when Ding Lingling finished calling, Bai Yang hurriedly paid the phone bill, came out and got into Ma Bingxiao's van and went back to Crescent Spring.
When he stopped at the gate of the Crescent Spring Scenic Area, Ma Bingxiao turned his face and said to Ding Lingling in the back row: "Comrade Ding, can I ask you for one thing?"
"What did you say?" Ding Lingling responded with a smile.
"I've never been to a tomb, so I'm really curious about it......! If there is a tomb under the crescent moon, can you call me when you go down to the grave?"
"It's okay to call you up, but there are a lot of strange things in the tomb, and we don't dare to guarantee your safety, so you have to ask Uncle Ding's permission!"
"It's because there are some strange things in the tomb that I'm so interested, otherwise what's the point of going down!" Ma Bingxiao smiled, "But don't worry, I'll tell my dad! My dad also knows that I have always had such a wish, and this time it is at the door of the house, he will definitely agree to me." Besides, you two delicate little girls are not afraid, what am I afraid of as a big man?"
Ding Lingling and Hong Xing looked at each other and smiled, and then said no more.
The three of them said goodbye to Ma Bingxiao, crossed the sand beam together, and walked down the sand slope to the crescent moon spring.
Hongxing asked, "What did Uncle Gangding say, do you want us to follow these two maps and try to find out if there is a so-called dragon tomb?"
"Yes!" Ding Lingling nodded, "My dad said let's find the direction first, and then open the tomb after Tie Niu and Senior Brother Chen come over!"
"That Senior Brother Chen is awkward, it's not fun to have him doing things!"
In fact, this sentence is also the voice of Poplar.
"Senior Brother Chen is usually a little awkward, but when he is doing business, he will still concentrate on it. Isn't it aspen?"
Ding Lingling suddenly asked in front of Bai Yang. Bai Yang could only nod and smile, and said, "Yes! Last time in that Tang Dynasty tomb, as soon as he entered the tomb, he was like a different person!"
This was Bai Yang's truth, but he didn't want to talk more about this Senior Brother Chen, but instead asked, "Is it only Lao Hei who came with Senior Brother Chen?" I always feel that this so-called Dragon Tomb is not so easy to enter!"
Senior Brother Xiang is still in Xiangxi, and the other team has other tasks, and he has not been in Xi'an during this time. Senior Brother Chen was originally a helper in front of my father instead of Senior Brother Xiang, but now that it has been arranged for us, there is no one around my father. Ding Lingling replied.
