Chapter 349: Black Sandstorm
The blizzard is terrifying, but it's not impossible to deal with.
But Honggu doesn't want her children to stay here longer! The bad luck here is too heavy, Honggu feels that it is not suitable for Yang Yan to stay here for too long, this daughter's body and bones are not comparable to others, unless she can embark on the path of cultivation and dissolve all the medicinal power accumulated in her body. But this step is not so easy.
Out of Kunlun Mountain, Professor Chen kept a record of the geographical location here, and left it for later years to apply to his superiors for excavation.
It took another two days to set off from Kunlun Mountain to the Western Regions. Here, I found an uncle named An Liman as a guide and entered the desert in the wind season.
The first few days were fine, but as they got deeper and deeper, they couldn't stand it anymore. Especially Ye Yixin, a little girl, her body bones are still a little weaker, and a few days ago she was still in the ice and snow inside Kunlun, and in the blink of an eye, she was exposed to the sun again...... This series of changes made her face a little pale and her body a lot weaker.
"Let's all stop and rest!"
Sensing that something was wrong with Ye Yixin, Honggu said.
"Okay, then take a break." Hu Bayi looked back and said.
An Liman scolded the camel to stop, and everyone got off the camel and made up a few mouthfuls of water. An Liman knelt down with a blanket, and there were words in his mouth, which was praying for Hu Da's blessing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've been walking along the course of the Peacock River for three days now, and so far it's been smooth, but the weather in the desert is changing, so we need to be careful. According to Mr. An Liman, if we go two days ahead, there should be an oasis, and we will go there to replenish some water resources at that time. "Hu Bayi.
"Xiaohu, it seems that you are really right to choose you as the team leader, your experience is much better than us nerds. I'll take care of these things, and we'll listen to you. Professor Chen exclaimed.
Honggu helped Ye Yixin and said with a smile: "In terms of water and food, you don't have to worry, I brought a lot, it's enough." Xiaohu, you are responsible for taking care of the ruins of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom with An Liman. Ye Yixin's body is weaker, so leave it to me. Yang Yan, you too, although your body looks stronger than ordinary people, it is still weaker than normal people in nature, you have to pay attention. ”
"Mom, I'm fine. I haven't been sick since I was ten years old. Although the sun is shining, I don't sweat at all, so it's definitely fine. Yang Yan smiled.
"It's because I didn't sweat that there was a problem!" Partridge Whistle said with a dark face.
How can a normal person not sweat in this forty or fifty degree weather? And Yang Yan's body was blocked by those medicinal energies, which caused her to be like this. When there is no problem, the physical fitness is stronger than that of normal people, and when there is a problem, it is not a small problem.
"Dad, can't you just say two good words? I haven't seen you laugh all day long. Yang Yan complained.
Just as the partridge whistle was about to speak, the old foreigner suddenly said, "Senior brother, look over there......"
"It's ...... Black Sandstorm? Partridge Whistle's face changed for a moment.
Their Zagrama tribe used to live in this desert, and it was not until the three of their brothers and sisters joined the organization and learned supernatural powers that they moved their people out. But for the black sandstorm...... They are still fresh in their minds!
But then Partridge Whistle's mood calmed down again, now they are no longer ordinary people as before, although this black sandstorm is powerful, it is still difficult for them.
"If we do, we'll be able to get a shelter. But this is too much coverage, too wide...... I don't know how long it will take, but I think I'll have to find a place to hide. Or maybe we'll just build a shelter here? ”
The old foreigner said without worry.
"That's right...... Old foreigner, you can build a shelter here, everyone has been on the road for so long, and they are tired, so it's good to rest here. Honggu said.
"Cheng, then I'll build a shelter!"
After that, the old foreigner slapped his palm on the ground, and saw that the sand on the ground seemed to be alive and scattered to both sides, and stones hidden deep in the sand rose from the ground. Not long after, a stone house of more than 100 square meters appeared in this desert out of thin air.
"This, this is a miracle! Thank you Hu, thank you Hu Da ......"
An Liman, who was packing his things and was about to flee for his life, was stunned when he saw this scene, and he was so excited that he knelt on the ground and worshipped.
"What Hu Da, this is the ability of Senior Yang, you are a ...... Forget it, forget it, don't have the same knowledge as you. The big guy quickly packed up his things and hid in, the sandstorm was coming, and we couldn't stay outside anymore. ”
The fat man roared twice, and entered the stone house with his bags on his back.
"Hao Aiguo, take the students in. Xiaohu, you hurry up and talk to the old man An Liman, and let him settle the camel and go into the stone house to take refuge. Professor Chen said.
Hu Bayi hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, professor, I definitely can't let Old Man An Liman have an accident." You go in and have a good rest, let's take advantage of this world to take care of our spirits, and when the storm stops, let's continue to hurry. ”
"Cheng, let's go in first!" Professor Chen was not entangled and hurried into the house.
With such a big sandstorm, it's too dangerous to stay outside.
At the end of An Liman's arrival, his expression was still a little excited, obviously thinking that this stone house was a miracle of Hu Da.
Yang Xue distributed the food over there, and everyone ate the food in the stone house, whispering about the sandstorm outside.
"The storm is so big that it will be blowing for at least a few hours. It's four o'clock in the afternoon, so let's just rest here tonight and not leave. Raise your spirits, and let's set off again tomorrow. Hu Bayi said.
"The little comrade still knows a lot, and even I rarely see such a black sandstorm. I can't catch up with the road today, so let's rest, let's rest. An Liman continued.
Seeing him speak, Hu Bayi asked: "Old man An Liman, I heard that you brought a group of foreigners into the desert some time ago, who are they?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, they paid for it, so I brought them in to play, but they were disobedient and wanted to go into the Black Desert, so I didn't want to go and came back." An Liman said dissatisfiedly, obviously not wanting to tell the truth.
This truth is really unspeakable, and if you do, you will get into a life lawsuit.
"A group of foreigners who are going into the desert during the typhoon season are obviously coming prepared. What else could be in this desert to get them to risk their lives? ”
Partridge Whistle laughed.
"What are you talking about? Anyway, everyone has been thrown into the desert, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive, so it's not too bad to talk about this? Honggu rolled her eyes.
"Grandma, I heard my mother say a lot of things about you and grandpa, and there is nothing to do here, why don't you tell us about some of your experiences!" Yang Xue said in a slightly coquettish tone.
"Can you tell me how you met my grandfather? Although my grandfather has told me many times, there are some places that he has always refused to say, you may tell? Hu Bayi also asked at this time.
Honggu pondered for a moment and said, "Nacheng, I'll tell you about the things of the year." Back then, I followed my boss to eat mixed rice in Xiangxi. Our line of work is considered to be unloaded. Xiao Chen, Xiao Hao, these things are probably something you don't like to hear, why don't you avoid it? ”
"Don't shy away from it, the four major factions of tomb robbers, I have heard the names of Captain Jin, Faqiu Tianguan, Xieling Lux and Mountain Mover. Besides, don't talk about you at that time, even those warlords don't also dig graves and rob graves...... Alas, it's a pity, but I can't change that. You're not doing this anymore, what more can I say? But if you can say something, it will also give me and my students a long time to learn. Professor Chen smiled bitterly.
He really can't change anything, even if Honggu and they are still robbing tombs now, what can he do? Can you stop these people with superhuman abilities? It's impossible to stop!
"Okay, then let's listen to it together. At that time, our unloading line was also famous in that part of Xiangxi, especially my boss Chen Yulou, no one was dissatisfied with the green forest heroes in the land of Sanxiang, and the warlord Luo Lao Crooked in Xiangxi at that time also had to give my boss a little face, and he didn't dare to offend easily. One day, Na Luo Lao Crooked found out of nowhere about the grave of a general of the Yuan Dynasty and wanted to invite us to dig it together. At that time, as you know, the warlords lacked money to buy guns and recruit people, and my boss also ran out of money to help the displaced people. When I heard that there was a tomb of a general of the Yuan Dynasty, I was naturally moved. So......"
Honggu still has the ability to tell stories, and she will tell the events of the year one by one, which is called a wave of ups and downs, and then talk about Guo Tianyou and Li Mo, but this paragraph is very brief, and then it is mentioned that he entered the bottle mountain to rob the tomb and met the partridge whistle, the head of the mountain moving faction.
Hearing the novelty, Chu Jian also subconsciously asked: "Is there really a six-winged centipede more than ten meters long in the tomb of the general of the Yuan Dynasty in that bottle mountain?" It's strange enough that this centipede has wings, and it still grows so long? It's not going to be a good thing, is it? ”
"I don't know if it's a good thing, but it's really amazing. But no matter how miraculous it is, it won't help. At that time, Tianyou kicked the six-winged centipede away with one kick, and almost didn't kick it to death. Next ......"
Honggu continued, not annoyed by Chu Jian's interruption.
After talking about the Bottle Mountain Tomb, he then talked about the back. In the middle, the matter of joining the organization jumped directly, and said that at that time, they began to contact cultivation, and their strength was not strong, so they all stayed in Xiangxi. About half a month after returning from the Bottle Mountain Tomb, Hu Guohua came to Xiangxi, and then in the name of fortune telling, he did the tomb robbery.
That day, Hu Guohua was fortune telling at the inn, and bumped into Honggu going over to eat, so they chatted. They were originally engaged in tomb robbing, and when they saw that Hu Guohua inquired about the news of the surrounding ancient tombs, they moved their minds to test it, and they knew each other from then on.
Later, Hu Guohua was also tied up by Chen Yulou's subordinates and stayed in Chen's house for more than a month before being released. It's not that Chen Yulou wants to harm Hu Guohua, nor does he want to covet "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", but he saw his peers and said something, but it turned out that this captain was still half a gold school captain, so he stayed for a little longer.
Since then, they have not met Hu Guohua again. Three years later, they moved out of Xiangxi...... As for where she went, Honggu naturally didn't need to reveal it.
This said, from four or five o'clock in the afternoon to more than ten o'clock, Honggu said that everyone was not sleepy, and from time to time interjected to ask about some of the situation at that time.
After Honggu finished speaking, Professor Chen said with some sadness: "Those are all precious cultural relics, which are extremely important for the study of history. It's a pity, it's a pity...... Alas, you can't be blamed for this, the society was chaotic at that time, and the government couldn't control this at all. Let's just say that the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang also lost many scriptures back then. Alas, every time I think of this, I hate that I was born too late, if I could have been born a few years earlier, and I had known some news earlier, maybe I could have saved something. ”
When Honggu and the others robbed the Bottle Mountain Tomb, Professor Chen was also a teenager, and he was still studying at that time, how could he know this kind of news? Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to stop it!
"Teacher, don't blame yourself, this kind of thing, this kind of thing even now...... I haven't put an end to it! We can only do our best now, and try to prevent this from happening again. Professor Hao said.
"yes, that's all there is to it. Sorry, I was excited. Professor Chen sighed.
After a pause for a few seconds, Professor Chen said, "After listening to this today, I still want to ask, the Bottle Mountain Tomb shouldn't have been destroyed yet, right?" If I can, Ms. Honggu can tell me the specific location of the bottle mountain, and I will apply to my superiors for excavation. ”
"No problem!" Honggu nodded.
"Senior Honggu, after that time, did you still rob the tomb? Did you join that mysterious organization to cultivate immortals? Sadipon asked again.
Honggu smiled: "Hehe, I can't talk about the rest of the matter." ”
"Grandma, would you like to tell us about that mysterious organization?" The fat man said with a shy face.
"That's confidential, how can you just say it? Okay, it's past ten o'clock, everyone hurry up and rest. Honggu said.
"Well, then rest. But before I rest, I'll make arrangements for the vigil. The desert is full of danger, and now that it's a sandstorm outside, God knows if some terrible creatures will be forced to flee into us by this storm, and no one will keep vigil. In this way, we were divided into several groups, and each person kept watch for two hours, and came in turns. "Hu Bayi.
"There's no need for a vigil, with us here, there's no need for a vigil. Let's all go and rest, it'll be fine. Partridge Whistle said lightly.
"Then it's going to be a trouble for you." Hu Bayi didn't say much, he knew that these people might have any abilities that they didn't know about, so naturally he didn't ask much.
There was no word for the night, and on the second day, when everyone got up, the sandstorm outside had already dispersed.
The yellow sand is long, and the footprints they left along the way have been completely covered, and no less than half a meter of sand has been piled up at the door of the stone house.
"If this black sandstorm had appeared a few decades ago, I am afraid that most of our clan land would have been submerged." Hua Ling muttered.
"Now you probably won't be able to find the place where our clansmen lived back then, it has long been covered by the yellow sand." The old foreigner sighed.
This time, Hua Ling surprisingly didn't scare the old foreigner, but just looked into the distance in a somewhat depressed mood.
