Chapter 797: The Well
Bai Yingping was surprised by Ye Cheng's words, he lowered his head and asked with a puzzled expression, "But how did they find it?" We searched for so long and couldn't find it."
Ye Cheng did have a clue about this problem, he looked at the ruined town with a serious face, and said, "Don't forget, they have Wutie here." With Wu Tie's rich experience, it shouldn't be difficult to find the capital of Manlan Kingdom. But they didn't expect them to use the method of dealing with Xiaohai Country to deal with Manlan Country again. We need to find them quickly, or more innocent people will die."
After finishing speaking in high spirits, Ye Cheng immediately turned to look at Yin Cheng and asked, "Shopkeeper Yin, can't you really find the capital?" ”
Yin Hao's beautiful face was calm, without the slightest nervousness because he couldn't find the capital. She glanced at Ye Cheng and then looked away at the ruins of the town.
For her, who robs tombs for a living, it is not difficult to find the tomb, but it is indeed difficult to find the capital of Manlan Kingdom.
After all, the tombs don't move, and the capital of the Manlan Kingdom moves at will with the sandstorm. So even if she knew the location of Manlan Country before, she didn't know where Manlan Country was at the moment.
I couldn't find where the capital of Manlan was located, so I had to find another way.
Thinking of this, Yin He looked back at Ye Cheng again, and said seriously: "It's true that I can't find the capital of Manlan Kingdom, but we can start with those five words."
Ye Cheng asked, "Which five words?" ”
"Moving Dunes"
Yin He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then continued: "I didn't understand what this meant before, but after thinking about it, these five words should refer to the river in the desert."
"There is a river in the desert?!" Ye Cheng was stunned again, he had heard that there was only a small lake in the desert at most, and it was the Crescent Lake. The fact that there is a river in the desert is beyond Ye Cheng's expectations, and it can be said that it is impossible at all.
With a look of astonishment, Ye Cheng asked, "Shopkeeper Yin, have you ever seen a river in the desert?" ”
"Hmm"
Yin He continued to patiently explain: "There will not be a drop of rain in Manlan Country for several years, and if it doesn't rain for such a long time, the people will already die of thirst because they have no water to drink. But the good thing is that they have a river hidden in the desert, and this river provides them with water, so that they don't die of thirst."
Yin He's explanation became more and more mysterious, making everyone's faces tense, and their eyes were focused on Yin He. Their tense faces were filled with puzzled looks, and they couldn't believe the river hidden in the desert.
With a puzzled look, Bai Yingping asked, "You said that there is a river hidden under the desert, this is impossible." In such an arid desert, if there were rivers, they would have been sucked dry a long time ago."
Faced with Bai Yingping's questioning, Yin He did not refute in time, because she was not 100% sure of what she had just said at the moment. But she knew that finding something like that in this ruined town would prove that what she was saying was true.
So Yin He looked at the ruins and said, "Listen to me, when I came to Manlan to look for a tomb, I was too thirsty, so I begged for water in a family's house. I saw the family enter a small room, and soon came out with a jug of water. The family was not stingy when it gave water, and if they could generously give water in such an arid place, there must be a stable water source. So as long as we look in the ruins, there will definitely be some clues. As long as you find the river, you will definitely be able to decipher what the 'moving dunes' mean, and thus find the elixir."
Under this explanation, everyone began to look down and think.
Ye Cheng also pondered, in his opinion, Yin He's method was indeed the best. If you take a transport plane and look aimlessly in the air, you don't know when you will be able to find it.
So after making a decision in his heart, Ye Cheng raised his head and said seriously: "Everyone listen to the shopkeeper Yin, let's look in the town." Pay special attention to the collapsed houses, the villagers are looking for water from the hut for Yin's shopkeeper, so the clues must be in the building"
"Hmm"
"Let's go, let's all look for clues"
……
Then everyone dispersed, searching the town that had been bombed into ruins.
Ye Cheng walked in one direction alone, never thinking that Xiao Ya followed quietly, and did not speak, just followed Ye Cheng to find clues.
After looking down for a few minutes, the two found a body buried in yellow sand on the ruins of a building.
The corpse was covered with a layer of yellow sand, revealing only a man's face, and the lower half of his body was crushed by the building. It seems that the wall collapsed due to the explosion, and the man was crushed before he had time to escape.
Because he has experienced many battlefields and seen a large number of people die in the battlefield, at this moment, when Ye Cheng sees the dead corpses again, except for his solemn expression, his mood is no longer as heavy as before.
Ye Cheng said lightly: "Let's continue to look for it"
Xiao Ya didn't say anything, and continued to look for clues with her head down. In the process of searching, she found that the yellow sand was darker in color, like wet sand.
At this time, a pile of yellow sand with an abnormal range appeared in front of her, so Xiao Ya stopped and looked at it seriously. At the same time, he shouted in a low voice: "Ye Cheng, come and see here"
After hearing the voice, Ye Cheng immediately stepped over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Ya pointed to the ground with her right hand and said, "Look at the yellow sand and the surrounding ones."
Ye Cheng looked in the direction Xiao Ya pointed, and when he saw the dark yellow sand, he was shocked!
Then he crouched down, pressed his right hand on the dark yellow sand, and picked it up to take a look. The palm of the right hand was covered with sand that was wet with water, and it was clear that the palm was wet.
At this time, Xiao Ya also squatted down, and when she saw the situation on Ye Cheng's right palm, she also felt strange, and then asked, "How can there be water in the sand here?" ”
Ye Cheng was looking at his right palm and thinking at this time, combined with the information provided by Yin He before, he probably guessed.
Then he patted off the yellow sand on his hand and analyzed it seriously: "I think this should be the water source for the people." After the town was blown up, the things that stored the water were also destroyed, so the water flowed out, and just when the sandstorm buried it with yellow sand, it was formed."
Ye Cheng's analysis was not unreasonable, but when he was analyzing, the five apprentices not far behind him also found the same situation, and the five apprentices also excavated.
After digging up the wet soil, the five apprentices saw a damaged well.
When they found out about this, they immediately shouted in panic: "Little master, come and see, there is a well here"
"Well?"
Hearing the shouts of the five apprentices, Ye Cheng was suddenly startled! Then calm down and think about it. If there will be a well in the desert, it means that there is groundwater, right?
After thinking of some things, Ye Cheng frantically threw the yellow sand on the ground with both hands.
