Chapter 17: The Illusory City

1

That night, the three of them camped beside the Great White Spring, not daring to be with the bones, so they had to sit around the stone tablet, without a bonfire, but fortunately it was not too cold in the desert at night in this season.

Most of the flashlights and batteries carried in the car were lost, only Han Jiang's backpack still had a flashlight and a few batteries, Tang Feng held Han Jiang's flashlight, and stared at the photo of the jade interstitial screen alone, he wanted to find the location of the big white spring on the ancient map, but the few springs marked on the ancient map did not have this "big white spring".

The more Tang Feng looked at it, the more uneasy he became, how could there be no Da Baiquan? In the east of Hanhai Mi City, he didn't see a marked spring, but there were several springs in the north, it stands to reason that since there is a stone tablet of Western Xia here, there should also be a mark on the ancient map! Tang Feng yawned and felt hungry in his belly, but now he could only endure it, he slowly put down the photo in his hand and slowly closed his eyes......

Tang Feng didn't know how long he had been asleep, he suddenly felt that the dry and hot sand had become damp underneath, and he groped with his hand on the sand beside him in the dark, it was water! Tang Feng felt that his hand was touching cold water, what kind of water is this? Unlike the sun-scorching water in the sea, the icy water seems to come from the depths of the earth.

Tang Feng sat up in shock, and found that the water in the big white spring had already risen to his body, and the reeds on the east side had been submerged by the sea, and the bones on the sand on the north bank had also been submerged by the rising spring...... What's going on? Tang Feng hurriedly went to find Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, Han Jiang had long since disappeared, but Liang Yuan was swept to the center of the sea by the rising spring water......

"Save ...... Help me! Liang Yuan let out a terrible cry for help, suddenly, the water became turbulent, whirlpooling, Liang Yuan struggled desperately on the water, but it was all in vain, Tang Feng stretched out his arm, wanting to grab Liang Yuan's hand, but before he could reach Liang Yuan's arm, the rapidly rising water had surrounded her, the water was becoming more and more turbulent, Liang Yuan's cries for help were intermittent, and finally he was completely submerged in the whirlpool......

"Nope! Yuanyuan-" Tang Feng let out a heart-rending cry and woke up, the surroundings were as silent as death, the water surface of the Great White Spring did not rise as seen during the day, the water surface was glowing with a ghostly light, and it was completely a pool of stagnant water. Did I have another nightmare? The dream seems to be short, it's not so clear, and the masked woman doesn't appear, what the hell is going on?

Tang Feng's shout woke up Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, "What are you shouting again?" Han Jiang said angrily.

"I'm having nightmares again, dreaming of ...... I dreamed that you and Liang Yuan were both swallowed by this sea. ”

"Swallowed? Haizi cannibalism? ”

"No, it was the water in the sea that suddenly rose and swept both of you in."

"Damn, can you say something nice, how can this pool of stagnant water rise? And swept me and Liang Yuan away? How did you not get swept away yourself? ”

"I ...... I don't know, but it's such a scene in my vague dream, where the water in the sea suddenly rises and becomes turbulent, and you both are swept into the whirlpool. Tang Feng tried his best to recall the scene in the dream.

"Is there any mystery in this water?" Liang Yuan muttered to himself, and walked to the shore of Haizi.

"Be careful!" Tang Feng shouted.

But the water in the big white spring did not change, Liang Yuan turned around and looked at Tang Feng in a daze, "What, do you really think the water will rise?" ”

"Nope! I do not know. In short, this is a strange Haizi. ”

"You think too much, so I keep having nightmares......"

Liang Yuan and Tang Feng were talking, and suddenly, Han Jiang noticed something unusual, "Liang Yuan, look at your feet!" ”

Liang Yuan was startled, and hurriedly looked down, Liang Yuan, who was standing on the shore just now, at this time Haizi's water had already passed her feet, Liang Yuan screamed in shock, and hurriedly ran to the high place in the sand, Liang Yuan plunged into Tang Feng's arms, and did not dare to look at the strange Haizi again.

2

Tang Feng stared at the calm water and lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to alarm the ghosts here, "It seems that my dreams are all true." ”

"Don't be too arbitrary, it's too early to draw conclusions!" Han Jiang said and walked towards the shore.

"Hey, what are you going to do? Be careful. Tang Feng admonished.

However, Han Jiang had already walked to the shore, and more than ten minutes had passed, and Tang Feng found that Haizi had not risen rapidly as he had dreamed, let alone a torrent whirlpool, but it was really rising just now.

"Yuanyuan, did you move your feet just now?" Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan instead.

"I started by standing on the shore, and then I turned around, and even if I moved my feet, I moved to a higher place, and I couldn't move into the water."

"That means that the water level of the Great White Spring did rise just now." Tang Feng stared thoughtfully at the water.

Han Jiang walked back from the shore and said, "The water level of Dabai Spring has indeed risen, but the increase is very slow, and it has stopped now. ”

"What is the reason for this?"

Han Jiang shook his head, "Who knows, maybe after dawn, the water level will fall again." ”

"Doesn't this just mean that there is a spring under the water of the Great White Spring, and the night is the time for its metabolism." Liang Yuan said.

"Metabolism?" Tang Feng and Han Jiang were both a little surprised by this word.

"Replace the old water with new water, so as to ensure that the spring water is not dry all year round and can be drunk, and the white color of the water here is probably related to the minerals under the spring." Liang Yuan analyzed.

"But...... But in that dream, Haizi's water rose rapidly, as if there was a huge suction, sucking everything by Haizi's side into the water. ”

"Okay, don't keep mentioning your dreams, this sea is so big in total, even if the water rises, it won't have much suction." Han Jiang lay on the edge of the stele again as if nothing happened, "It's better to hurry up and rest, I have to hurry up early tomorrow morning!" ”

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan walked to a higher place before they lay down to rest, but Tang Feng stared at the glittering water, but he couldn't fall asleep again.

After being tossed around for a moment at night, Han Jiang and Liang Yuan didn't wake up until the sun was shining the next day, and the two woke up and saw that Dabaiquan seemed to be the same as yesterday, and the water level did not rise or fall significantly. But Tang Feng was gone.

Han Jiang looked around Haizi and didn't see Tang Feng, he and Liang Yuan invariably turned around and looked at the sand mountain behind them, hurriedly ran towards the sand mountain, turned over the sand mountain, they saw Tang Feng's back, Tang Feng stood on another tall sand mountain not far away, Han Jiang and Liang Yuan shouted Tang Feng to come down, but Tang Feng stood on the tall sand mountain in a daze, motionless.

Han Jiang and Liang Yuan also climbed the tall sand mountain in confusion, and they saw an incredible sceneβ€”on the west side of the Great White Spring, a rich green appeared at the end of the horizon, and between that green, the golden roof and the gilded tower shone brightly, a magnificent and different from the world!

"This ...... What is it? Liang Yuan looked amazed.

"Such a spectacular scene can only be Hanhai Mi City!" Han Jiang muttered.

"Wouldn't it be a mirage?" Liang Yuan asked suddenly.

"Mirage?" Han Jiang looked into the distance again and shook his head, "No, such a spectacular, such a real beauty, it will never be a mirage." ”

Han Jiang and Liang Yuan talked for a long time, and Tang Feng remained silent until Tang Feng turned around and suddenly said to Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, "We can go!" ”

After speaking, Tang Feng turned around and returned to the stone tablet of Da Baiquan, and Liang Yuan asked behind him, "Let's go?" Heading for that city? ”

"That's right! I have seen the compass, and the city is directly west of the Great White Spring, which is exactly what we judged yesterday. ”

"But...... But why didn't the people of the scientific expedition team find out back then? I'm sure if they saw the city, they wouldn't sit here and wait for it? Liang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Because they're blocked from view by the tall sand mountains, and a lot of things are like that, you just need to hold on a little longer, and victory beckons to you. If I hadn't woken up in the early hours of the morning, if I hadn't been able to sleep after waking up, if I hadn't climbed this tall sand mountain, who would have thought that Hanhai Mi City would have been so close to us! Tang Feng said confidently.

"Don't you think it's all coming too fast?" Liang Yuan still couldn't believe it.

"Nope! We have suffered a lot, it is time for Hanhai Mi City to show up, those scientific expedition team members of the year sat here and waited to die, and finally became a white skeleton, and those few team members who left the team are likely to find Hanhai Mi City, and ...... There is also the Russian woman, she was taken away by Ma Changguo, and they are also very capable of going to Hanhai Mi City, so success is sometimes just one step away. Tang Feng said to himself while filling his kettle in the big white spring.

"But none of them came back!" Liang Yuan raised her voice.

Tang Feng was stunned, but soon Tang Feng turned his face, held Liang Yuan's shoulders and said, "Yuanyuan, you must know that we have no other choice now, we can only find Hanhai Mi City." ”

Liang Yuan didn't say anything more, the three of them silently prepared the only equipment, brought three pots of spring water, and hurried on the road, heading towards the glorious city.

3

All the way to the west, when Tang Feng left Dabaiquan, he grabbed a handful of reeds, and before he walked for a while, he inserted a reed in the sand as a marker, so that even if they failed to find Hanhai Mi City, even if they lost their way in the desert, they could still follow the reed marker and return to Dabaiquan.

However, even if you can return to the Great White Spring, what is the use? There was no food, and even if there was water, they would starve to death in the desert.

The three of them braved the scorching sun, all the way towards the glorious city, the scorching sun roasted the scorching sand, as if to melt everything in the desert, Tang Feng was one foot deep, one foot shallow in the desert trudging hard, the sand under his feet was hot, whenever his calf was completely sunk into the sand, Tang Feng felt as if his calf was grilled by charcoal.

In the hot desert, everything seemed illusory, sweat flowed into Tang Feng's eyes, Tang Feng wiped the sweat on his face, and the city in front of him suddenly became so real, and he was already so close to it, as if it was within reach! However, no matter how Tang Feng sped up, that glorious city always kept a distance from him, like a beautiful girl, unwilling to show her beautiful face.

The day passed quickly, and when night fell, the glorious city still stood at the end of the horizon. The three of them collapsed in the desert exhausted, Liang Yuan's water had already been drunk, Tang Feng and Han Jiang didn't have much left, none of the three of them wanted to take another small step forward, they just wanted to end it all quickly and leave the desert.

But when the next morning came, they were still in the desert, and what was even more terrible was that the glorious city that had been in front of them was gone. Surrounded by a desolate desert, they knew that the worst thing had happened - they were completely lost in the desert.

Liang Yuan sat paralyzed on the ground and cried quietly, "It's all you, I said it was a mirage!" You don't listen, and now we're lost. ”

"Yes...... But that city is so real, it was once so close to us! Tang Feng also ran out of ideas.

Han Jiang also sat down on the ground, "Okay, we can't go any further." ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Feng asked rhetorically.

"Liang Yuan is right, it is indeed a mirage."

"Nope! I'm sure that's the Hanhai Mi City we've been looking for! Tang Feng shouted loudly, but he immediately lowered his voice again, "Okay, even if it's a mirage, I think it also reflects the real scene of Hanhai Mi City." ”

"Are you so sure?" Han Jiang asked.

"That oasis, the glorious ancient city in the oasis, is exactly the same as the Hanhai Mi City I imagined, can it be something else?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically.

Han Jiang pondered, and for a while, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said, "Whether it is Hanhai Mi City or not, we can't continue to move forward, our food and water have run out, we can only choose to exit the desert first and re-equip ourselves before we can come back to find Hanhai Mi City." ”

"Out of the desert?" Tang Feng was stunned, "How to retreat?" Even if we want to get out of the desert now, it will not be so easy. We've got lost in the desert......"

"Go east, as long as we go east, we will definitely be able to get out of the desert!" Han Jiang said categorically.

"To the east?" Tang Feng turned his head to look east, and when he came, the reeds he had planted were long gone, and to the east were endless sand dunes.

"That's right! Now there is only hope for exit from the desert. Liang Yuan echoed Han Jiang.

Tang Feng reluctantly followed Han Jiang and Liang Yuan to retreat eastward, and the three of them were embarrassed to find the reeds planted by Tang Feng, but the reed branches were intermittent, and in the end they couldn't see it at all, and the big white spring also disappeared into the vast sea of sand.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang repeatedly identified the direction, and Han Jiang was sure that they were walking eastward, and as long as they continued like this, they would definitely be able to get out of the desert.

But the three of them had walked all day in the scorching desert, and they had not seen anything but yellow, let alone walked out of the desert.

At dusk, Liang Yuan finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the sand, Tang Feng hurriedly went to support Liang Yuan, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan hold on for a while, and we will be able to get out of the desert soon." ”

"I ...... I don't...... No way......"

"No, hold on a little longer. It's all my fault, I should listen to you. Tang Feng began to regret his recklessness.

Liang Yuan fell into Tang Feng's arms, tremblingly took out the chicken heart necklace from the collar, there was a photo of her mother, Liang Yuan wanted to open the chicken heart necklace, but she no longer had any strength, two lines of tears flowed down Tang Feng's cheeks, he helped Liang Yuan open the chicken heart necklace, Liang Yuan's mother is still so young and beautiful in the photo.

Tang Feng was also exhausted, but he couldn't give up Liang Yuan, he used all his strength to carry Liang Yuan on his back, but he didn't go five steps away, and he fell into the desert with Liang Yuan.

Han Jiang looked at the two of them, shook his head vigorously, sighed, and said, "Hard-working mandarin duck!" He also collapsed on the sand, sweat flowed down his head, and lay into Han Jiang's eyes, his eyes blurred, Han Jiang reached out and rubbed his eyes, and suddenly, a yellow thing flashed in front of Han Jiang's eyes, what was that?

Han Jiang snorted and sat up, he saw that on the sand not far away, there was a little elf staring at them, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan heard the movement and also sat up supportively, but before they could react, Han Jiang had already stared at the little elf with a pair of hungry eyes.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan looked at Han Jiang in surprise, and when Han Jiang turned around again, they saw that Han Jiang had completely turned into a savage at the moment, with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and chewing vigorously in his mouth, with the chewing in his mouth, Han Jiang frowned for a while, and then looked at Han Jiang's hand, his right hand was a dagger dripping with blood, and on his left hand was a strange creature that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan did not know.

Tang Feng stared at the thing, feeling a little familiar, "What is this?" Like a lizard! ”

"That's right! It's a lizard. Han Jiang spit out something that couldn't be chewed, and said with a mouthful of blood foam.

"Lizards? The lizards I remember are all in the primeval forest! Tang Feng said with a frown.

"It's a sand lizard, a lizard of the desert."

Saying that, Han Jiang threw the sand lizard in his hand in front of Tang Feng, Tang Feng instinctively dodged back, Han Jiang smiled, "What are you hiding?" This is your lunch ...... Oh! No, it's dinner, no matter what, it's dinner! ”

"What? You...... You're letting me eat this?! Tang Feng was stunned.

"What's wrong with eating this? Do you have anything else to eat? Survival in the wild, you have also practiced? ”

"I ......" Tang Feng looked embarrassed, he stared at the sand lizard that had been disemboweled, Han Jiang disemboweled, and felt nauseous, but there was nothing in his stomach for him to vomit. The sand lizard's heart seemed to be still beating, Han Jiang pointed at the sand lizard's heart, "You're fast, drink its blood, don't let its blood run out!" ”

"There won't be parasites in there!"

"Damn, when is it, you're still annoying parasites! If you don't eat it, I will eat it. As he spoke, Han Jiang lay on the sand lizard's veins and drank blood.

Tang Feng turned his head and looked at the weak Liang Yuan, "Even if we can eat it, look at Liang Yuan, she is like that, can she eat it?" ”

"You and she are the most empty now, and you need to eat the most."

"Can you bake it and then give it to Liang Yuan?"

"You think it's a barbecue! If you have the skills to make a fire and cook in this hellish place, I'll wait for you to barbecue. Okay, don't chirp, just a little! ”

After Han Jiang finished speaking, he cut a piece of meat from the sand lizard and handed it to Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan looked at the sand lizard meat that was still dripping blood, frowned, hesitated, and didn't dare to put it in his mouth.

Han Jiang smiled, "Miss, let me tell you, this piece of meat is the best and most tender piece on the sand lizard, just like the beef tenderloin on the cow and the loin on the pig, don't be picky, hurry up and enjoy the delicious meal!" ”

"Damn, don't mention any beef tenderloin to me at this time, tenderloin!" Tang Feng complained.

Liang Yuan held the meat in his hand, but he still didn't dare to put it in his mouth, Han Jiang was anxious, "Miss, such a good sand lizard sashimi, if it is put in a five-star hotel in Beijing and Hong Kong, it will be precious!" Don't hesitate......"

Han Jiang was still talking, Liang Yuan closed his eyes and swallowed the piece of meat into his mouth, Liang Yuan wanted to swallow it directly, but the piece of meat was quite big and couldn't swallow it, Liang Yuan frowned, so he had to chew it little by little.

"That's right! That's it, don't swallow, chew slowly, you will feel a wonderful taste, a bit like a five-ripe steak, and a bit like a delicate salmon sashimi, at first a little earthy, but when the tip of your tongue slowly adjusts to this taste, you will feel that this is the most delicious in the world! ”

Under Han Jiang's persuasion, Liang Yuan closed his eyes and ate the meat little by little, "How is it?" Is it tasty? Han Jiang asked Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan actually nodded, so Han Jiang cut another piece of meat and handed it to her, "Yuanyuan, you are mature, you know that if we want to get out of the desert, we must eat more, although I know that the taste is difficult to accept." ”

Liang Yuan nodded, and ate the meat again, Tang Feng saw that Liang Yuan was so brave, so he had to pinch his nose and eat a large piece of sand lizard meat raw.

The three of them regained some strength at this time, and Han Jiang suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "This sand lizard can be regarded as saving our lives!" O Almighty Lord, O God, O God, Jesus, Buddha, Master Guan, Sage Confucius, O Jade Emperor! - Thank you for giving me food together, Amen! Amitabha! Buddha Amitayus! ”

Tang Feng was so unhappy, "Which sect do you trust?" ”

"No matter who can bless us out, I will believe whom? If they all manifest, I'll go back and offer them all!" Han Jiang said confidently.

"All up? Then these immortals don't fight yet. Tang Feng smiled bitterly.

"That's the matter of the heavenly immortals, I can't bother, I just care about the present!"

"In front of you...... Then you have to see if the gods will bless you......" Tang Feng's voice suddenly changed.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Jiang found that Tang Feng's voice had not only changed, but his eyes had also become frightened.

"You...... ...... behind you"

Han Jiang turned around suddenly, and he saw a huge reptile slowly walking towards them, this was a giant sand lizard, which looked to be two meters long, with a mouth constantly spitting out its whiskers, staring at Han Jiang with a pair of bulging eyes.

Han Jiang didn't know if this giant sand lizard was the mother or father of the little sand lizard just now, or if it was the same kind that smelled blood and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but he clearly felt a huge threat, and this threat actually made him feel a deep chill in the scorching desert.

5

Han Jiang once relied on only a dagger to fight with wild wolves, Tibetan mastiffs, snow leopards and other fierce beasts, but it was the first time he encountered the huge reptile in front of him.

Han Jiang clenched the dagger, took two steps back, and put on a posture of going to a head-on duel with the giant sand lizard, but when the giant sand lizard pounced on it, Han Jiang still chose to dodge, and the giant sand lizard rushed past Han Jiang and turned around, but the giant sand lizard lay quietly on the desert and no longer moved.

Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan, hiding behind Han Jiang, and the three of them stared at the giant sand lizard together, and as time passed, the sand lizard seemed to be asleep, motionless, "What's wrong with it?" You just stabbed me? Tang Feng asked Han Jiang in a low voice.

"Prick the ass! I look at its rushing posture, and dare to stab it? ”

"So what's wrong with it? Asleep? ”

"I've heard before about a lizard in the desert that is huge and clumsy, but when it sunbathes enough in the sun and absorbs enough heat, its skin darkens and becomes extremely agile, and I think today we have encountered such a lizard." Han Jiang recalled the legendary lizard.

"Could it be that this giant sand lizard is this lizard?"

"Look at it, it's absorbing the heat of the desert, and look at it, its skin is changing......"

"Yes! It's starting to get black! Tang Feng shouted.

"Exactly like the legend. Be careful! ”

As soon as Han Jiang's words fell, the giant sand lizard whose skin had turned black rushed towards them, Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan and fell to one side, and Han Jiang fell to the other side, but the giant sand lizard became extremely agile this time, it pounced in the air, and immediately turned around and pounced on Han Jiang again, and before Han Jiang could stand up, he was hit by the giant sand lizard in a hollow sand pit.

The giant sand lizard was lying on Han Jiang's body, the red tongue could already lick Han Jiang's face, Han Jiang waved a sharp dagger, and kept stabbing at the soft abdomen of the sand lizard, but Han Jiang's arm was blocked by the sand lizard, Han Jiang waved the dagger again, stabbing at the sand lizard, and before Han Jiang's dagger arrived, the sand lizard swung its tail as thick as a steel whip, hitting Han Jiang's body, Han Jiang felt a sharp pain, and the dagger in his hand almost let go.

When the sand lizard was about to attack Han Jiang again, Tang Feng lifted a burst of flying sand from the ground and yelled at the giant sand lizard, "Come on! I am here. ”

The giant sand lizard was enraged by Tang Feng behind him, twisted his huge body, and rushed towards Tang Feng, Tang Feng was not the sand lizard's opponent at all, and before the sand lizard rushed in front of him, Tang Feng ran away.

At this time, Han Jiang stumbled up from the sand pit, fortunately he grabbed the dagger, he saw the sand lizard pounce towards Tang Feng, pounced on the sand lizard, waved the dagger, and slammed into the tail of the giant sand lizard.

The giant sand lizard let out a strange scream, dropped Tang Feng, twisted its thick tail angrily, and hit Han Jiang's right arm with the dagger, Han Jiang only felt a huge pain in his right arm, and as soon as his hand was released, the dagger fell to the ground, Han Jiang still kept a clear head, he hurriedly picked up the dagger in the sand, but the sand lizard turned its huge body flexibly and pounced on Han Jiang again. Han Jiang hurriedly retreated on the sand, his dagger was pressed under the sand lizard, and the real danger came, Han Jiang, who had lost his dagger and was wounded, was faced with an angry giant sand lizard.

Tang Feng saw this scene and wanted to help Han Jiang, but he didn't know what to do, the giant sand lizard was approaching step by step, and it had almost stuck to Han Jiang, and it only needed a little more force, and with a flick of its thick tail, it could smash Han Jiang's bones to pieces.

In a hurry, Tang Feng took the dagger as a dart and threw it directly at the back of the sand lizard, and the dagger hit the back of the sand lizard, but Tang Feng's strength was not enough, and the dagger touched the sand lizard's strong back and bounced out.

Seeing this, Han Jiang closed his eyes, he knew that he was more than lucky this time, and he couldn't imagine that he would die under the tail of this ugly monster, it was really unlucky!

But at this moment, Han Jiang and Tang Feng felt that the air seemed to be obscured by dark clouds, Han Jiang opened his eyes and looked up, it turned out to be a vulture swooping down from a low altitude, no! Han Jiang recognized that it was not a vulture, but an eagle, a real eagle.

The eagle spread its huge wings and pounced on Han Jiang who fell to the ground, Han Jiang closed his eyes again, but after a long time, Han Jiang did not hear the wind, and there was no pain in his body, what was going on?

Han Jiang hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that the eagle had already grabbed the giant sand lizard off the ground, and was flying in the direction of the setting sun at this moment, Han Jiang let out a sigh of relief and lay down on the sand, he knew that he was saved again, it was the eagle that saved his life!

Without the giant sand lizard, there was no eagle, and the depths of the desert were quiet again, Han Jiang knelt on the sand again and prayed sincerely, "The grassland, the desert, the master of everything on the Gobi, the great immortal heaven thank you for saving us again, I know that you have always favored us, so please always favor us and take us out of this boundless desert." ”

Tang Feng couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw that Han Jiang had suddenly become so pious, "You just returned to God, the Lord and a lot, why did you worship Immortal Heaven again for so long, and only worship Immortal Heaven?" ”

"Because only the Immortal Genius is the master of everything here, those gods are easy to use in other places, and they are not as effective as the Immortal Heaven here." Han Jiang said with a smile.

"You are a pragmatist, even the gods are called by you to change, you can find any god you want!" Tang Feng ate a large piece of sand lizard meat again, and recovered a lot of physical strength at this time.

"God was created by man. This is the territory of the Immortal Heaven, and we have to worship the Immortal Heaven! Han Jiang finally revealed his true nature as an atheist.

"Nope! God exists. Liang Yuan suddenly spoke, "The god here is the Immortal Heaven, she not only exists in the hearts of the herdsmen, but also exists in the mountains here, the water here, and the desert Gobi here, and the Immortal Heaven dominates everything here in the underworld, including everyone who tries to enter here." ”

"You are animistic ......"

"I just figured out something!" Liang Yuan interrupted Tang Feng's words and said slowly, "Why are we so close to Hanhai Mi City like the scientific expedition team half a century ago and the Koznov expedition team a century ago, but we fall short? Because our hearts are not sincere enough. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with sincerity or insincerity?" Han Jiang disagreed.

"My journey, especially after we encountered a black dust storm and got lost in the desert, I thought a lot, I think all this is the arrangement of the immortal heaven, why do we encounter the black dust storm? Why did the joint scientific expedition team also suffer from a black dust storm half a century ago? Maybe Koznov's expedition was also hit by a black dust storm? There is also the Mongolian army more than 700 years ago, why can't it eliminate the party members in Hanhai Micheng for a long time? The more Liang Yuan spoke, the more energetic he became.

Tang Feng interjected, "What do you mean that the Mongol army more than seven hundred years ago was also attacked by a black dust storm, so that it couldn't get close to Hanhai Mi City?" ”

"Isn't it?" Liang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"This is due to the fact that the Devil City in the south of Hanhai Mi City is a big wind outlet, and the terrain and environment are prone to black dust storms." Tang Feng explained.

"This is an objective reason, but in the Western Xia, from Jiulipu to Heishi, and then to Hanhai Micheng was a traffic artery, and this artery even went directly to the Mongolian Plateau.

Liang Yuan's rhetorical question stopped Tang Feng and Han Jiang at once, "Yes, we encountered a black dust storm, the joint scientific expedition team encountered a black dust storm, Koznov's expedition team was also likely to encounter a black dust storm, and why did the brave and warlike Mongolian iron cavalry stop outside Hanhai Mi City, is it also a black dust storm?!" Can...... But during the Western Xia period, why could the party members enter and leave Hanhai Mi City? Tang Feng fell into deep thought.

Liang Yuan, who had eaten the sand lizard meat and regained his strength, continued: "All this is Changshengtian's arrangement, Changshengtian arranged to hide the queen to warn us twice halfway, we didn't listen, when we tried to approach Hanhai Mi City for the third time, the black dust storm came, isn't this Changshengtian's arrangement?" ”

Tang Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Liang Yuan didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "Also, after we encountered a black dust storm, we came to Da Bai Quan, and after the scientific expedition team encountered a black dust storm, most of us also came to Da Bai Quan, is this just a coincidence?" ”

"Another arrangement of the Immortal Heaven? Can...... But some of the people in the scientific expedition team drank the poisonous water of Dabai Spring and died, and some people did not dare to drink it and drank it to death! Tang Feng said.

"Although I haven't been poisoned, and I haven't died of thirst, we are still trapped in the desert, and the Immortal Heaven lured us with the illusory Hanhai Mi City, and finally threw us down from mid-air, making us taste disappointment!"

"But the eagle saved us just now, isn't this the favor of the Immortal Heaven?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"Yes, when we were exhausted and unable to move forward, Changshengtian sent us food, although this food was not delicious, but it helped us solve the problem of survival, when we encountered danger, Changshengtian sent an eagle to relieve us again, Changshengtian, who once abandoned us, why did he take care of us again, because all this happened after we chose to stay away from Hanhai Mi City!"

"You mean that the Immortal Heaven does not favor those who try to get close to Hanhai Mi City?" Tang Feng asked rhetorically.

Liang Yuan nodded, "Yes, so when we chose to stay away from Hanhai Mi City, Immortal Heaven began to favor us again. ”

"That's a little too wicked! According to you, we can't find Hanhai Mi City anyway? Han Jiang shook his head, refusing to believe Liang Yuan's words.

"Nope! Team Han, you misunderstood, Changshengtian does not favor those who try to get close to Hanhai Mi City, but it does not mean that Hanhai Mi City cannot be reached, but those who want to find Hanhai Mi City must surpass all difficulties, this is also Changshengtian's intentional arrangement! And we are obviously not well prepared, far from enough, so the Immortal Heaven does not favor us. If we really overcome all the difficulties, then the Immortal Heaven will definitely help us find Hanhai Mi City, but now is not the time! ”

Han Jiang stopped Liang Yuan's words, but felt that she had some truth in what she said, "Yes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Looks like we're going to have to start all over again. ”
