"That's right, my dad knows a professor Chen, who wants to organize an archaeological team to go to Xinjiang to investigate, this old man has repeatedly applied to the above for the excavation and protection of cultural relics, but the country has no money, and now an American is paying for it, and recently is recruiting a team leader with rich experience in desert survival, and a capable person who understands the art of feng shui stargazing."

"I think you are very suitable, when Professor Chen told my dad about it, I mentioned it casually and told them about your situation and background, and they were very interested."

"I just don't know what you two think about this now."

Hu Bayi became interested: "This opportunity is good, I can learn a lot from the archaeological team, I have been in the desert, and I understand feng shui, but the team leader is the team leader, and it is better to find a local guide when entering the desert." ”

"There is one more thing I don't understand, why did she, an American, fund the archaeological team in Huaxia? Isn't there anything greasy about this? ”

"That's right, she's not a living **, that's no benefit, why should they invest money!" The fat man chimed in.

"That's the thing......" Then the Great Golden Tooth explained the matter briefly.

After understanding the situation, Hu Bayi decided to take this trip, so he asked the big golden tooth to contact the other party, and by the way, he gave them the treasure they were looking for this time.

After resting for a few days, the big golden tooth came to find them, brought Hu Bayi and them the money for the Ming weapon, and told them the appointment to meet Professor Chen of the archaeological team.

Hu Bayi got the money, and as soon as he and the fat man totaled it, he gave Yingzi a copy of the money, a copy of the old branch secretary, and the families of Hu Bayi's sacrificed comrades-in-arms and sent it over.

After that, he went to meet Professor Chen, Hu Bayi showed what he had learned, impressed Professor Chen, and then was officially invited to join the archaeological team.

While chatting, a young woman came into the room, and Professor Chen introduced her, who was the funder this time, Shirley Yang.

After another simple communication, Hu Bayi probably knew Shirley Yang's family history, and they were looking for the exquisite ancient city this time in order to fulfill Shirley Yang's father's last wish.

However, Shirley Yang didn't plan to let the fat man go, but after seeing the fat man's jade pendant, he agreed, saying that the jade pendant might have something to do with the exquisite ancient city.

Hu Bayi heard that this exquisite ancient city was not simple, and the once prosperous capital of the Western Regions disappeared like that, and there must be some big secret buried in it.

And Hu Bayi, who had seen zongzi and ghosts, felt that there would definitely be some ghosts, snakes, and gods in this exquisite ancient city, so for the sake of prudence, he still decided to invite Ye Yunyi to go with him.

So he made his own request to Shirley Yang: "It's okay to go into the desert with you and find the Exquisite Ancient City, but I have to take someone with me." ”

"Who?" Shirley Young asked.

"Old Hu, do you mean that Immortal Ye ......" The fat man looked at Hu Bayi's serious face, and he also knew that it was not easy to go into the desert to find the Exquisite Ancient City this time, and with Immortal Ye in them, they could also be guaranteed.

"Who is this Ye Immortal?" Shirley Young continued to ask.

"Ye Shenxian's name is Ye Yunyi, he is a Taoist master, we explore the ancient tombs, it is inevitable that we will come into contact with dead corpses, burial goods and the like, it is easy to get into evil spirits, in order to avoid bad luck, it is better to have a Taoist person." Hu Bayi said, but did not go into too much detail.

"Xiaohu, are you a little superstitious!" Professor Chan said.

"This is not superstition, that Ye Shenxian is really capable, I have seen it with my own eyes, not long ago, ......" The fat man retorted, as soon as he talked about Ye Yunyi, the fat man became interested, began to brag, and opened his mouth.

"Fatty!" Hu Bayi glared at the fat man, and the fat man stopped.

Then Hu Bayi explained: "Everything has a special attention, this tomb archaeology, after all, is a taboo, there are Taoist practices to escort, but also to avoid bad luck, it can be regarded as seeking peace of mind." ”

Although Hu Bayi was covering up, Shirley Yang still heard something, thought about it, and agreed to Hu Bayi's request.

After that, Hu Bayi and the fat man said goodbye to Professor Chen and them, bought some luxury gifts to honor Ye Yunyi, and asked him to make another move, Ye Yunyi naturally agreed.

Two days later, everything was ready, Ye Yunyi, Hu Bayi, and the fat man followed the archaeological team on the westbound train.

Their first stop was first, where Professor Chen picked up several of his students before heading to Urumqi.

On the train, the fat man teased the two ghosts and fairies, and Professor Chen's assistant came to their carriage, and saw that the fat man was talking to the air silly, or no, he reached out and groped in the air, thinking that he had a nervous disorder, so he stayed away from him and patted the sleeping Hu Bayi: "Comrade Hu, wake up, the professor is looking for you to discuss something, please come over." ”

Then, Hu Bayi woke up, and went to another carriage with Hao Aiguo in a little confusion, and discussed with Shirley Yang and Professor Chen about the route and plan to enter the desert.

After arriving in Xinjiang, Hu Bayi found a local guide in the local area according to the established plan, an old man named An Liman.

Then Ye Yunyi's ten-person archaeological team rode An Liman's camel into the desert.

Along the way, Ye Yunyi was silent, looking like a master in the world.

Although Professor Chan and his students, including Shirley Yeung, were curious about Yip, they felt that Yip was quiet and always alone, and had some quirks, so they rarely talked to him.

Except for Hu Bayi and the fat man occasionally talking to Ye Yunyi, Ye Yunyi either danced the sword or sat cross-legged in meditation.

Especially they are very strange, Ye Yunyi's sword doesn't know where to hide, and every time the fat man is by Ye Yunyi's side, he behaves strangely, like a fool, amused by himself.

Ye Yunyi didn't say anything about all this, and Hu Bayi didn't explain too much.

In the first few days of entering the desert, it was quite stable, and Professor Chen's students, when they came to the desert for the first time, felt that it was novel and fun, and they played around along the way.

Until the fifth day of entering the desert, An Liman looked at the reddened sky in the distance and looked uneasy.

After Hu Bayi stepped forward to ask, he learned from An Liman's mouth that there would be a storm coming soon, and if he didn't rush to the ruins of West Night City as soon as possible to take refuge, everyone would be buried alive in the desert.

Hu Bayi knew the seriousness of the matter, so he urged everyone to hurry up.

After a hurried journey, Professor Chen and his students were overwhelmed by the camels, and An Liman hurriedly asked everyone to eat a few mouthfuls of dry food and drink more water, so that the camels could also rest their legs.

But just after a few sips of water, a breeze blew through the sand dunes, rolling up wisps of western sand, and the sky in the distance gradually turned into a dark yellow, An Liman shouted: "The trade wind is coming, don't rest anymore, run for your life quickly!" Then he climbed on his camel and ran first.

The members of the archaeological team also hurriedly dragged their tired bodies, climbed onto the camels again, and shouted to urge the camels to run.

Only Ye Yunyi, looking at the wind and sand rolling in the sky, with a smile on his face, hurried away unhurriedly.
