Chapter 6: The Depths of the Desert

"Ignore that guy, he's just a bastard, he's used to wandering around in this village all day, and if he goes to work in the city like other young people, it's just that, and he talks all day long that he finds ruins in the west or something, and says that as long as he finds the treasure, it's Feihuang Tengda. Old man Mo Yi said with a wry smile on his face.

"Village Chief Moyi, are there really relics in this desert sticking out?" Xiao Luoqing asked suddenly.

"Are you?" Old Man Mo Yi looked at Xiao Luoqing.

"We are XF University staff, these two are archaeologists and assistants, and we have come here in the desert to find the ruins. Wu Wei added.

"How can there be any ruins, this place is full of yellow sand all day long, even if there are real ruins, it has long been turned into a handful of loess, he is a person, he is daydreaming too much, you don't have to pay attention to him. The old man turned his face away and waved his hand with a helpless expression.

"Old man, we are here for archaeology on the one hand, and on the other hand, we are looking for something in the desert, so I hope you can tell us something. Xiao Luoqing exchanged glances with Feng Lingxiao, and quietly stayed on the man named Ah Li for a moment.

"No, no, what can there be in this deserted place?" the old man waved his yellow hand and said, "This is too complicated for me, the old man, I can't understand, but to be honest, in this desert, there may be no others, but dangers are everywhere, so ah, a few, it's better to go back early." ”

"Danger is nature, how can we, as archaeologists, not know that on the way to this place before, we were lost by the wind and sand, and almost became the belly of those strange beasts. Xiao Luoqing said quietly, "It's just that archaeological work is extremely dangerous, and I am mentally prepared, and I hope the old man can give some clues." ”

"Eat first, eat first. Seeing that he couldn't dispel a few people's thoughts, the village chief Moyi smiled bitterly, "This matter is really not urgent, a few of you will come to my house to sit for a while, so that I can do my best as a landlord." ”

"Since you follow the customs, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Wu Wei smiled slightly, but he saw that the two of them behind him were like uncles, and they seemed to have no interest in the so-called hospitality.

Xiao Luoqing's gaze swept slightly, as if he was looking for something in the entire village, and Feng Lingxiao's gaze was closely following Na Ali's body.

The village chief's house is one of the tall earthen houses in this village, the village is not rich in products, vegetables are even more rare, the most is some grapes and dried mutton and the like, it is good, full, but it looks a little monotonous.

It was rare to entertain outsiders, and many villagers with some identities also sat in, crowding the village chief's hut to the brim.

After all, the number of visitors to the village has been so rare these days.

"Let you laugh, there was originally a small stream on the edge of this village, and the water source was quite abundant, but it was a good place to grow vegetables and fruits, but then the underground water veins were cut off, so we could only get water from the small lake. ”

"Why do you need to mind the village chief, when it comes to food, I have brought a lot," Wu Wei smiled happily, but he shook slightly from his pocket, and in the bag, the light flashed, and there were dozens of things on the table, including a lot of unspeakable jerky, and a lot of living utensils made of metal.

"This, this is immortal art. Old Man Mo Yi looked shocked.

Fortunately, Shen Tianchong had exchanged a lot of Qingyuan Town's products with blood source crystals, most of them in the Qiankun bag were medicinal materials, Wu Wei was mainly used to refine pills, and there were a small number of other miscellaneous items, and more were the corpses of foreign beasts or dried meat made of foreign beasts, in order to prepare for emergencies, Wu Wei also asked Shen Tianchong to collect them together.

"These things, by the way, some tea. Wu Weile took out some things, this tea is a very precious thing for the locals, "I still have some stock, if you need it, just take it." ”

Seeing Wu Wei keep taking out things from the small Qiankun bag, the village chief and everyone were even more surprised, holding those things in amazement.

Xiao Luoqing and Feng Lingxiao didn't care about these things at all, they had already checked the Qiankun bag on Wu Wei's body, these things seemed to them to be just penniless garbage.

"It seems that some of these people are really God-men. I didn't believe it before, but at this moment, seeing that Wu Wei really had something in his hand, the elder was almost shocked and couldn't help himself, so he drank a few sips of the wine that Wu Wei took out before he pressed down the excitement in his heart.

The villagers also looked at the things Wu Wei took out with great excitement, they hadn't seen a merchant traveler for a few days, those dried meat and tea were extremely important to them, and some metal products were even rarer in their opinion, and there were some short knives and daggers made of meteorite iron, which everyone couldn't put down.

"There are so many things, Brother Wu Wei is a big deal. The old man touched a shiny sharp knife and turned it over and over with love, "But I only have some bread and water here." ”

"These are just things outside the body, but today there are many of them that you have taken them in. ”

"Brother Wu Wei is bold, so we are naturally disrespectful. "There's nothing more practical than filling your stomach, not to mention that the village chief Moyi and their places can't last long, face or something, it's a fart.

"We really can't get anything good here, only these preserved fruits and furs, please ask the little brother to accept them. The villagers' eyes sparkled with gratitude.

"Elder Moyi, may I ask one thing? Xiao Luoqing suddenly spoke.

"Speak. Seeing that the two of them came with Wu Wei, although they didn't know the relationship, Elder Mo Yi still responded rudely.

"I heard that there was a goddess in the village, and I want to know which goddess's residence in the past can take me to see it. If my guess is correct, the goddess may be one of our fellow disciples. ”

ed., continue to compile.

Wu Wei rolled his eyes a few times, but saw that Xiao Luoqing's face remained unchanged at all.

"If that's the case, we'd like to see where she used to be. Xiao Luo said lightly.

"You're not archaeologists, are you!" After retiring from the villagers, Elder Mo Yi took a puff of hookah, squinted his eyes, and looked at the three of them.

"Let the old gentleman smile. Wu Wei didn't hide it, "It's not false that we are archaeologists, but we also have an identity, called the Seal Cultivator, which is the kind of spell that I showed you before, and now many people in the outside world are practicing." ”

"Seal repairer?" the old man was a little confused, "I really didn't believe it when I heard Xiao Ruxian say it before, but I just saw your spell brother, and it is indeed possible to know the goddess, but it's just ......"

Old Man Mo Yi frowned and sighed, "Even we don't know where the goddess used to go, but after staying in our village for a few days, the goddess went to the depths of the desert, and has not been heard from since. ”

"Oh, the old man remembers where the goddess had been in this village, and the direction she had gone when she left, far west to north. Xiao Luoqing flicked open the compass in his hand, his fingertips pinched slightly, and in a trance, an image appeared above the table, which made Elder Mo Yi amazed.

It was an extremely superficial map, and Wu Wei couldn't see it at all, but one thing was for sure, the place should be marked by this desert.

"What is marked on this map seems to be Appi Beach. After the old man Mo Yi was surprised, he took a closer look.

"This is the Green Lake, the place where Ru Xian brought you back. Old Man Mo Yi said with a slight squint, and then pointed slightly, "This is where our village is located. ”

The old man's gaze moved slightly over the drawing, and they were all too familiar with this desert.

"So here, where is it?" Xiao Luoqing pointed to somewhere on the map.

Is that!!

"This place is called the Devil's Eye Cave. If I'm not mistaken, this is the last place where the goddess of the past went. That perennial yellow sand is pervasive, and I don't know the direction, but it is a place where birds and beasts die, and that place must not be visited. The old man said slowly,

"That place is very tight, I remember when I was young, with the old people in the clan went to the place near the sheep grazing, at that time the place was rich in water and grass, but it was near the ghost eye cave, suddenly there was a gust of demon wind, watching dozens of sheep were swept away by the demon wind, and finally turned into a pile of blood and mud and fell. ”

"Also, Xiao Ruxian's father went over there like this, and she never came back. ”

"Little Ruxian, his father?" Wu Wei frowned slightly.

"That's in the past, it is said that when the goddess left, Xiao Ruxian and a few people just didn't listen to the persuasion, secretly went, I don't know what he saw there, and after he came back, he kept saying that he saw a miracle in the desert. ”

Elder Mo Yi pondered for a moment: "Since you and that goddess are both in the same door, then I might as well say it directly, indeed, in this desert, there is indeed a legend of an ancient city, and that ancient city is in that ghost eye cave. ”

"Dang!" only heard a crisp sound, and everyone turned around, but they saw that Ru Xian was standing there at the moment, her face was pale, and her eyes were firmly staring at the ancient map hanging in the air by Xiao Luoqing at the moment.
