Chapter 350: Arrival
Pack their bags and continue on their way, perhaps because the route has not changed, they have not encountered the ruins of Gumo Kingdom. Along the Peacock River, the speed of their progress was not slow at all, and after seven or eight days, there was no trace of the Peacock River.
Because of the water and food provided by Honggu, they were not worried about not having water and food to support them to go back. But there is no trace of the Peacock River, which means that they are likely to have lost their way......
"Half a day ago, there should have been traces to be found, but now there are no traces...... Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid we need to discuss what to do next. Do you go back and look for traces of the Peacock River, or do you search around? "Hu Bayi.
"No more searching, we...... It should have arrived! Partridge Whistle said lightly.
The old foreigner said: "According to the records of the clan, there was a black mountain near our earliest clan land, and later there was a detailed description of the address where the Elite Country was located, which was built behind two black mountains. Those two black mountains are like two black dragons guarding the Peerless Country. Those two black mountains are supposed to be one mountain, but they were cut off by someone. Those two mountains are very strange, and the iron tools will automatically absorb them...... Nine times out of ten, it's Magnetic Mountain. Didn't you say that the watch stopped and the compass was messed up? We should have just arrived near Magnetic Mountain. But after many years, maybe the magnetic mountain is buried under the yellow sand, so we haven't found it now. ”
"The dry course of the Peacock River is gone, but the water of the Peacock River is ...... Right at our feet. Looking at the flow direction, it should be this direction! ”
Hua Ling pointed in one direction and said.
With these people here, it is not a matter of luck to find the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, but to be sure. If they didn't even have this ability, they would have cultivated in vain for decades.
"There...... Seems to have a black line? ”
Honggu craned her neck to look over there, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she saw a black line at the end of the horizon.
"I'll look at ......"
Yang Xue took out a telescope from her bag and looked at it: "It's far away from us, but you can see a black line." ”
"yes, I saw it too, it must be there! Lao Hu, look at it, it's definitely right. Hahahaha, the hard work paid off, we finally arrived......"
The fat man Wang Kaixuan handed the telescope to Hu Bayi and said with a laugh.
"I'll look at ......"
Hu Bayi took the telescope and looked at it carefully.
Everyone else was watching the telescope, and it was already a few minutes before everyone was sure.
"Then there's nothing to say! Comrades, now that victory is at hand, can you remain indifferent? Let's go now and run to victory! ”
Hu Bayi said loudly.
"Comrade Xiaohu said well, let's hurry up and try to arrive before dark. Rest for another night, and tomorrow we'll be searching for the ruins of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom. I have to thank you all for your help and leadership, and we nerds would never have been able to find this place without your help. Thank you very much......"
Professor Chen said emotionally.
"Professor Chen, if you thank you, let's go back and talk about it, let's hurry up and set off on the camel and strive to arrive early!" Hahahaha, my Wang Kaixuan can't wait......"
Wang Kaixuan laughed, his mood was extremely excited, and he couldn't wait to fly over directly.
At this moment, their emotions were agitated, they were full of anticipation for this place, and they fantasized about what to do after countless failed searches. But that's how I found it......
For a while, the people of this archaeological team excitedly stepped on the camel and rushed to Cishan, and the corners of the partridge whistle involuntarily showed a smile.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect that after so many years, we would appear here, and we were about to arrive at the ruins of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom!"
The old foreigner said with a smile, this sentence is nonsense, they came to look for it, and the possibility of finding it was very high, and it was the first time in many years. But in these words, in the laughter, there are thousands of emotions.
"Yes, we've found the ruins of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom......" Partridge Whistle sighed faintly.
Hua Ling whispered, "Senior brother, I'm ...... Kind of don't want to go! ”
"It's all here, and you say you don't want to go? Hua Ling, this is not like the usual you, today this is a transformation? The old foreigner teased.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you about it." Hua Ling waved his hand.
Partridge Whistle asked, "Hua Ling, why don't you suddenly want to go again?" ”
"Because, because...... I can't say why, I just don't want to go. Maybe it's a little irritable. Hua Ling said.
"Because...... This is not only the site of an exquisite ancient country, but also the place where our ancestors of the Zagrama people first lived. It is also because of this that we, the descendants of the Zagrama, have suffered a great deal of suffering. My father, my mother, your parents, the parents of the old foreigners...... Here, like a demon, we Zagrama have suffered a lot, and there are not many people left in the tribe today. Because...... This is the ominous land of our Zagrama! ”
Partridge Whistle said slowly, his words sounding a little incoherent, lacking his usual style. But these are indeed what he thinks in his heart!
Hearing this, the old foreigner's smile retracted, and his mood was much lower.
Hua Ling's eyes turned red, and she said in a somewhat choked voice: "Senior brother, you are right, this is the ominous place of our Zagrama clan, just because of this, several of us have no relatives, and there are few people left, I hate here, I can't wait to tear this place apart and erase it completely." But I'm afraid of this place, and even though I know that with my strength, I don't need to be afraid of this place, and I can destroy this place in many ways, but I'm still afraid, my heart is trembling, I'm afraid...... I'm entangled, I'm worried, I don't want to go, I don't want to face all this, I just want to protect the people of the clan well. ”
Before the partridge whistle could speak, the old foreigner suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Hua Ling, do you want to keep running away?" In the eyes of our Zagrama people, this is the root of all evil, tormenting our ancestors for thousands of years, and you still want to escape? ”
"I don't want to, I don't want to run away, I want to face it. But I was scared inside, I was scared, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to do. Hua Ling couldn't hold back crying at this moment.
"Hua Ling, what are you afraid of?" Partridge Whistle looked at Hua Ling with a serious expression and asked.
Hua Ling shook her head: "I don't know, I really don't know." I have been to so many graves with my senior brother, and I have encountered countless dangers, but I am not afraid. I know that with my senior brother here, it will be fine. But this time, my mind was completely messed up, and I didn't even know what to say, or even what to do. When I made sure that the black mountain was right in front of me, I suddenly lost my mind and didn't know what to do. ”
"What's the matter? Why did you cry all of a sudden? Hua Ling, did the two of them bully you? Tell your sister-in-law, sister-in-law will clean them up! ”
Xu heard the movement, and Honggu, who was chatting with her daughter and granddaughter, turned around and asked. Honggu's thoughts are all on her children these days, and John, the son-in-law, has to stand aside. She never thought that Hua Ling would cry......
What kind of trouble is this?
It's completely inexplicable!
After listening to the partridge whistle briefly say some things, Honggu glared at the two of them and said, "Listen to what you said, is it comforting?" Can girls compare to you stinky men? You are warriors who face danger head-on, and other flower spirits can follow you as warriors? ”
"But we're not ...... usually"
The old foreigner wanted to explain, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Honggu: "Usually is usual, can it be the same now?" Really...... Normally it's just danger, but now it's psychological pressure. Let's put it this way, isn't it easy to kill people? It's a knife, but it's easy for you to kill your senior brother, isn't it? ”
"This, how could I possibly kill Senior Brother? Sister-in-law, you are making trouble unreasonably. "Old foreigners.
"Why is it vexatious? Isn't that the case with Hua Ling now? When did you see the flower spirit like this before the tomb? But why did you cry so much this time? It's just that the psychological pressure is too great, and you don't even notice it, because you two are still senior brothers. Especially at this time, I still say this, what to say, face your fears, and don't run away from them...... Hua Ling is not an escape, but she can't get over this hurdle in her heart. If you really want to say that the Exquisite Ancient Country is in danger, it is only for ordinary people. To us, can that be called dangerous? What danger can the tomb of this world be to us? No matter how bad it is, a few zongzi will pop up, and you will be killed directly? Okay, I'll leave the flower spirit to me, you guys hurry up, we'll be here later. Here, we won't be lost and unable to find you. Honggu said.
"Okay, then the flower spirit will be handed over to you." Partridge Whistle nodded, he knew that Honggu was right. Of course, some of these statements are also difficult to do. For example, notice the emotions of the flower spirit...... She didn't say anything, and she couldn't stare at Hua Ling all day long to see if she had any emotions wrong.
"Tsk, this woman...... It's a good thing I'm not married, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble! ”
When they were far away, the old foreigner sighed faintly.
"Aren't you afraid your sister-in-law will hear it?" Partridge Whistle said.
The old foreigner smiled and said, "Senior brother, that's your wife, and it doesn't matter to me if you fight behind closed doors." Anyway, I don't want to marry a wife in my life, it's really too troublesome......"
"Girls are delicate, and their ideas are different from ours. Hua Ling has been following us, this girl likes to hide something in her heart, after all, she can't tell us two big men, but we should really pay more attention to it as senior brothers. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's also a responsibility. Forget it, you can do it yourself whether your kid gets married or not, your family has cut off the incense, and it's your parents who are in a hurry, and it doesn't matter much to me. Partridge Whistle laughed.
The old foreigner shrugged: "What's the use of my parents' urgency?" It's gone, and there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, as long as nothing happens to us, we may live to what year and month. As for the flower spirit...... I'll pay more attention to it in the future. ”
"Well, you pay more attention. I remember that Kunlun under Chen Yulou seemed to be interested in Hua Ling......" Partridge Whistle said thoughtfully.
He didn't interfere much in the private lives of his younger brothers and sisters, but this time, he felt the need to do something. It's not that he wants to shirk the responsibility of taking care of his junior sister, but he suddenly feels that Hua Ling seems to be a little too lonely, and this emotional collapse is definitely not an accident, I'm afraid that there is also a lot of pent-up emotions in his heart.
"Then Kunlun is stupid, how can he be worthy of the flower spirit? Senior brother, I absolutely disagree with this! The old foreigner said.
"Then you can solve it!"
Partridge Whistle said.
"I'm ......," the old foreigner choked suddenly.
In the midst of the words, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when everyone arrived at Cishan. They all held their breath in their hearts, and wanted to rush to the foot of Cishan Mountain to rest again, so they replenished water and food in the middle, and they didn't rest much. When he arrived here, Hu Bayi was tired.
After staying for two or three hours, Honggu and Hua Ling also returned to the team.
Just as everyone was about to cross the Magnetic Mountain and enter the ruins of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom to set up camp, the Partridge Whistle suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't go, you guys are camped here." The opening in front seems a little weird. Old foreigner, go over and clean up ......"
"Cheng, I'll clean it up! Don't hurry, everyone, let's all arrive near Cishan, and it's not too late for a while. Rest first, and then go in tomorrow morning. After the old foreigner finished speaking, he walked towards the passage between the two magnetic mountains.
As he walked, a stone avenue appeared at his feet, stretching all the way forward.
After about ten minutes, he came out with several corpses. There are also a few strange snakes with sarcoma between their fingers.
"Senior brother, a few foreigners and a few strange snakes. In my opinion, these foreigners should be some of the people that An Liman brought into the desert in front of them, and they should have died under the attack of these strange snakes. Senior brother, do you think these strange snakes are strange? The old foreigner handed the strange snake in his hand to the partridge whistle.
Partridge Whistle took the strange snake and looked at it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "This is the kind of strange snake recorded in our clan, right?" I can't be wrong, this sarcoma on the head looks like an eye...... The demon that our ancestors summoned from the ghost cave back then was this kind of strange snake. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too. This means that this passage has been crossed...... Behind it is the Exquisite Country! The old foreigner looked at the partridge whistle and said solemnly.
"Well, tomorrow...... Let's go in and have a look. I've got to figure out what's in the ghost cave. Old foreigner, when the time comes, you look at Hua Ling, don't let her do it, I'll solve the problem, you just look at it. Partridge Whistle said.
The old foreigner groaned and said, "Senior brother, if there is danger, I will take action in time!" ”
"Okay, let's arrange it that way. Watch out tonight...... Well, build a stone house so that you can have an extra layer of defense. Partridge Whistle said.
"Cheng, I'll get it!"
The old foreigner got up and left.
Since entering the desert, the old foreigners have been caught in a stone house to resist the black sandstorm when they encounter it, and then everyone camps in tents. And this time the Partridge Whistle mentioned this, obviously it was also to guard against the things in the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, after all, there were also many unknowns for them.
