Everyone walked along the main road, and there were ancient buildings on both sides, with simple shapes and dizzying eyes.

Walking in this intact ancient city, everyone seems to have returned to the era of thousands of years ago, although Gao Qin and Xu Ming could not carefully inspect each building at this time, they kept taking pictures with the cameras in their hands.

It's just that this ancient city is empty, silent, and always makes people feel a little uneasy and afraid.

Zhou De took out the compass and wanted to identify the direction, but found that the needle of the compass was not moving. He tapped the compass, and although it was still moving, it could not discern the direction, and wherever the compass turned, the needle followed it, as if it were dead.

Zhou De gently held the compass, this worn-out compass that had followed him for decades, like his close comrade-in-arms, but now it was useless here.

Nanyang also had a military compass, he looked at it, and the compass also failed, not only him, but also the compass of Ah Hu and the pillar also failed inexplicably.

Everyone had to judge the space and direction by feeling, and several of the men in the team had an excellent sense of space, and they concluded that the ancient city was sitting south and facing north.

Zhou De judged the direction, rummaged through his backpack again, and found a broken notebook. He flipped through his notebook and found a page with a sketch scrawled on it, a simple copy of the golden gossip map on the floor of the first room.

It turned out that Zhou De had a poor life, and his life was hard and poor, and he never used (nor used) computers, digital cameras and other expensive high-tech equipment, and all the precious information found in the morning's actions was recorded by computers, but Zhou De would not use these devices (he was very anxious), and when he encountered some important ones, he could only use pen and paper to record them in a hurry. This sketch of the golden gossip map is what he drew in his notebook.

Everyone saw the sketch in Zhou De's hand, the drawing was not very accurate and comprehensive, Gao Qin put down his backpack and took out a small laptop, which stored all the photos and other information that the expedition team had found.

Gao Qin handed the laptop to Zhou De, who was surprised when he saw the photo on the screen, but he didn't dare to touch it because he didn't know how to use the laptop.

Gao Qin saw Zhou De's embarrassment, so he carefully helped to operate, Zhou De enlarged the pattern for a while, and recorded some things for a while, after a while, he was sweaty, shook his head, and his eyes were very helpless.

Nanyang asked, "Master Zhou, what are you studying?" ”

Zhou De said: "I'm inferring the good luck here. He continued: "The pattern in the ancient city is built according to the five elements of yin and yang, which is in line with the principles of the heavenly stem culture, and different locations are divided into good and bad, and I need to find a safe place so that everyone will not have an accident." ”

Gao Qin originally disdained these godly Five Elements Gossip and the like, but at this moment he was also interested and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”

Nanyang also said: "Master Zhou, what is your conclusion?" ”

Zhou De's eyebrows were tightened, he looked up at this seemingly calm ancient city, his face seemed to be much older, and said: "There is a great murderer hidden in this ancient city!" ”

Nanyang said: "Master Zhou, are you saying that there are dangerous traps in this ancient city?" ”

Zhou De said: "Remember, no one can touch anything in this city!" He continued: "Any one of these places is dangerous, and there may be an ambush in the background." ”

Everyone was stunned: there was no danger on the way from the ground to here, only a boulder mechanism blocked the way of retreat, but it did not hurt anyone. Although this ancient city is strange, there is no "ambush", there are no poisonous snakes and beasts, and there is no danger zone, it is just an empty city, so why is it dangerous?

The crowd had no choice but to walk along the main road, carefully noticing the changes around them. Qiu Tian asked, "Master Zhou, can you find a safe route?" ”

Zhou De shook his head helplessly, and said a little unwillingly: "I...... I can't! These Yin and Yang Five Elements and Qimen Dunjia Techniques were originally the magic that was handed down in ancient times, and they have long been incomplete in modern times, leaving only some fur, and many precious ancient spells have been lost. Even if there are still some masters in the world who have mastered some of the essentials of the Fa, these surviving masters are all idlers and hermits, indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is difficult to find. ”

He continued: "What's more, the magic used in this ancient ruins is different from the normal sect, and the rules are difficult to find and difficult to judge. I could only feel the danger here, and I couldn't find the specifics. ”

Qiu Tian said: "We can only take one step and see one step. ”

Xu Ming said: "There are dangers in any archaeological activity, there are risk factors, needless to say. Master Zhou, why do you say such alarmist words to make everyone nervous? ”

Nanyang said: "Master Zhou told us to be more careful, this is right, you must be vigilant and pay attention to safety next." Nanyang saw that Master Zhou came to the conclusion that there was a danger hidden in the ancient city like a fortune teller, and he didn't believe it in his heart, after all, Master Zhou couldn't get specific documents at the moment, let alone say the specific danger. However, now that the experts are trapped in such a strange underground ancient city, it is still right to pay attention to safety, after all, the future is unknown.

Zhou De also ignored Xu Yang's cynicism, took out a thing from his backpack and held it in his hand.

Everyone saw that Zhou De was holding an old compass.

When Xu Ming saw Master Zhou take out a compass, ignore the high-tech equipment, and take out such a thing as a dancing god, he was very angry in his heart, and he opened his mouth to mock him.

Nanyang also frowned, Master Zhou actually used this tool of feudal superstition at such a moment, just like a fortune teller, not at all like an upright archaeologist and scientist. He thought that if he continued to work like this, he was afraid that the expedition team would deviate from the right direction.

At this moment, everyone suddenly found that the compass in Master Zhou's hand was spinning!

Xu Ming and Nanyang were about to speak, but they were speechless at this time! Because they knew that the compass was out of order here, how could this worn-out compass start working?

Qiu Tian asked curiously, "Is this ...... It's a compass, right? Master Zhou, where did you get it from? (He has lived abroad for many years, and he is very curious about the metaphysical utensils in these ancient Chinese cultures.) ）

This compass is very old, the surface is very badly worn, it looks like an antiquity hundreds of years ago, and the inner disc is vaguely engraved with the contents of Bagua and the twelve earthly branches. Zhou De said: "The origin of this compass is not ordinary, I got it from a lonely old man. In the Cultural Revolution, this old Taoist was criticized very miserably, he was old and weak, but he was beaten in the streets every day, and when he was dying, he secretly gave me this compass, so that it can be kept to this day. Zhou De's eyes seemed to go back to the past, flashing with grief and anger, and he said miserably: "...... The old Taoist was a very good man and broad-minded, he originally lived in seclusion in the mountains in the broken Taoist temple, and had no quarrel with the world, but he was arrested by the Red Guards to criticize and fight...... The old Taoist originally had an ancient book of magic in his hand, and the Taoist temple was burned by a fire, he was originally old and tortured by inhumanity, but when he was dying, he never hated those who harmed him, only said that this was his catastrophe, it was fate, and he grieved for those young Red Guards......"

When Zhou De said this, he didn't continue to speak, as if he was afraid of remembering some of the past. However, Gao Qin had already seen tears flashing in Master Zhou's eyes. Everyone knows by this moment: this strange old man must have a painful past.

Zhou De looked at the compass, the pointer sometimes kept turning, sometimes suddenly stopped, still in the same direction.

The hands of the compass are always changing in such a way that when the hands stopped, they looked in the direction they were pointing to the splendid hall in the center of the ancient city.

Although everyone didn't quite understand the meaning of the compass pointer, they all understood one meaning: there must be some energy in the main hall in the center of the ancient city that caused the compass to change!

There may be an important clue in this splendid hall.

Everyone gathered their equipment and began to march towards the main hall
