Episode 400 Into the Desert

Hearing this from the old man Salman, we hurriedly nodded in agreement. After we had reloaded our luggage onto the roof of the buggy and secured it, the old man Salman turned to us and asked, "Do you want to go around the desert this time, or do you want to cross the desert?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and then, turning over the map that I had hidden on my body, handed it to the old man Salman. He said, "Uncle, look at this, we want to go here." Will you be able to find this place? ”

When the old man heard us, he took the treasure map from our hands and looked at it for a while, then looked up at us and said, "So you are not here to explore, but to hunt for treasure!" ”

Hearing Salman say that, all of us were shocked!

Wu Changling, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and asked him, "Old man, where did you see that we are here to hunt for treasures?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "I have walked this desert many times. I can say that I have lived longer inside than outside! Is there anything I haven't seen about what's inside? The place you marked on this thing, I've taken a lot of people there over the years. It's just that no one seems to have come to me to show them the way in the last ten years! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked! Old man Salman used to go there with people! How is this possible? You know, there's only one map to enter this tomb, and it's still in our hands. So, how did those people know that there was such a place?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked the old man Salman, "Uncle, do you remember clearly?" Did those people really go here? ”

The old man was a little upset to hear me ask this. He looked at me and said, "What? Do you think that my memory is bad when I get old? I'm telling you, if I had to compare, I would have a much better memory than you young people! ”

Seeing that the old man Salman was a little unhappy, Xue Qinglian hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't mind! That's not what we meant! If we really don't believe you, we won't ask you to be our guide. ”

Hearing Xue Qinglian say this, the old man Salman nodded slightly.

Xue Qinglian thought for a moment, and then asked the old man Salman, "Uncle, I want to ask." What happened to the people you said went to the treasure hunt? What did they all get? ”

Hearing Xue Qinglian's question, the old man Salman laughed again and said, "They didn't get anything. On the contrary, it never came out again! Just with these people, they still want to take things in the ancient tombs of Daguan Kingdom, isn't that tantamount to asking for their own death? ”

"Daguan Kingdom?"

Hearing that the old man Sarman suddenly said such a country, we all showed curious looks.

Xue Qinglian thought for a while, and then asked the old man Salman, "Uncle, what kind of country is this Daguan country?" Why have I never heard of it? ”

Old man Salman nodded and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it!" Actually, it's not a country either. It's just a country that some people have built themselves after coming to the desert.

As for how many years ago, I don't know. It's just that when I was a child, I heard the old people in the village talk about it! They say that there was once such a country in the depths of this desert. The people of this country are all from Mongolia. No one knows why they came here, only that after they entered this desert, they began to build the country. And named his country Daguan country.

However, it is not their names that allow me to remember this country, but the fact that all the people of their country disappeared without a trace overnight! Not only that, but even the castle they built disappeared into thin air! It's like it never happened!

However, many people saw them when they came. How could it have disappeared? Many people have raised doubts about this matter. Some people say that they have encountered a strong wind and sand, and the whole country has been buried in the vast sea of sand. It is also said that they were not people in the first place, but ghosts passing by. After completing the mission, it's back to the Netherworld! In short, they just disappeared like this!

Originally, I thought it was just a legend back then. However, when I was 30 years old, I was suddenly approached by someone claiming to be an expedition group. I asked them to take them to the old site of the Daguan Kingdom to have a look. Then, he gave me 100,000 yuan. You know, at that time, 100,000 yuan was a lot! I've never seen that much money in my life. So, I hurriedly agreed. But who would have thought that after I had brought them all to that place, they would never come back.

I've been there for a while since then, and I've taken other pairs there. Some of these people came here to investigate, and some came to rob tombs. But I don't even ask who they are here and what they want to do. My goal is to get them where they want to go! I can't help with anything else!

If you do the math, I'll probably have sent seven or eight of them there. So far, however, I have not seen anyone who can come back from there. “

At this point, the old man paused, and continued: "Although I have memorized that place. But, I don't know how, every time I take someone to that place, I experience something I've never experienced before. And its geography seems to be changing! It's as if it's going to flow with quicksand! Now, I haven't been there in over a decade, and I don't know where it will be now! ”

Hearing the old man Salman say this, Xue Qinglian and I glanced at each other. Then, he asked the old man Salman, "Uncle, how many days will it take us to reach our destination on this departure?" ”

The old man Sarman thought for a moment, and then said to us, "In the past, if we were riding a camel, it would take five to seven days. However, if you take a car now, it should be faster! ”

After getting the answer from the old man Salman, we briefly explained a few words and prepared to set off.

The old man Salman followed Xue Qinglian and Li Ping to sit in the car at the front. And I sat in the second car with Gangzi Wang Haoran and Wu Changling. Because there's no place to sit in it. So, one of the four of us has to drive! And among the four of us, it is impossible for Wang Haoran, the eldest young master, to come and drive. As for Wuchang Mausoleum, that's not to mention!

Gangzi and I glanced at each other, and Gangzi sighed and said, "Okay, I'll drive!" ”

With that, he sat in the driver's seat. We followed Xue Qinglian and their car and slowly drove into the desert.

As soon as I entered the desert, I was stunned by the sight in front of me! In front of our eyes is a vast sea of sand, stretching to the horizon, as far as the eye can see! It looks spectacular! This sea of sand shines brightly in the sunlight. The people who are watching can barely open their eyes!

When Gangzi saw such a spectacular scene, he couldn't help but say loudly: "How can such a beautiful scenery be blocked out of the window?" ”

As he spoke, he lowered the window directly. Then, the dust that flew up outside all the faces of everyone in our car fell on the faces!

Gangzi hurriedly blocked the window again. Then, he said to us, "That...... Sometimes it's immoral to put the beauty of nature in the car! Scold...... Hehe! ”

After saying that, there was an awkward laugh.

A few of us just stared at him, and no one spoke!

When we first came out, we didn't feel anything. However, as the sun rises higher and higher, the temperature around us begins to rise gradually! The desert in front of us began to become erratic because of the heat. It seems that the temperature around here is more than 40 degrees!

We also had to turn on the air conditioning in the car, and the cool air filled the whole cabin in an instant! We immediately felt a sense of refreshment!

At this time, the walkie-talkie in our car suddenly made a "zilazila" sound.

When we came, we were worried that our phones would have no signal. Therefore, Wang Haoran also specially bought some walkie-talkies. However, there are so many of us! Therefore, the condition of one per person was not met. Instead, there are one or two walkie-talkies in each car to communicate with each other!

Now, the walkie-talkie, which has been quiet, suddenly comes out, which means that someone is moving the walkie-talkie and wants to speak.

At this time, all of us fell silent and stopped talking!

After a while, Xue Qinglian's movement came from the walkie-talkie: "Everyone pay attention! Now let's slow down. If there is any special situation, everyone can communicate at any time! ”

Hearing Xue Qinglian say this, we were all very puzzled. I don't understand what Xue Qinglian means.

Gangzi picked up the walkie-talkie and asked inside: "Xue Qinglian, why did you suddenly slow down?" Is there something wrong? ”

Xue Qinglian said to us, "Uncle Salman said just now that the wind direction outside seems to have changed suddenly. Let's pay attention! This is likely to cause a strong wind and sand! ”

Hearing Xue Qinglian say this, I frowned. Then, to the others, he said, "Didn't you say that there was just one wind last night?" Why is it winding again now? You know, it's a third of the famous sandstorm days! ”

For my words, no one can give an answer!
