It was a groan that pulled back my deviated thoughts, and the lights did not turn on, and I listened to it to judge that Xiao Mo had woken up. I didn't move, I sat there in my original position, because it was dark, and I was in the gap under the sand, so it was completely dark underneath.

Xi Suosuo's voice came from there, and then he heard Xiao Mo call in panic: "Cheng Xiao, are you here?" ”

I didn't want to speak, so I had to answer: "I'm here." In the darkness, Xiao Mo's voice approached: "Are you okay?" I quickly lit up the flashlight in my hand, and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to come." If you have a head injury, stay where you are, it's safe for the time being, and when the storm stops outside, we'll find a way to get out. ”

Xiao Mo, who climbed closer, was stunned, his eyes were a little surprised when he looked at it in the dark, and he asked again: "Are you really okay?" Patiently told him again with certainty: "I'm fine." After that, the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward, and he did not probe any further, but retreated to his original position, and occasionally glanced at him in silence. After confirming that he was not Sheng Shiyao, I was not in the mood to pay much attention to his thoughts, so I just didn't know at all.

It didn't take long for the unconscious teammate to wake up too, shouting for water in a daze, and I threw the bottle of water that had just been fed to him in my bag. After the other party drank a few sips, he heard Xiao Mo say a little surprised: "It's still thoughtful." ”

I was slightly stunned before I realized that he was saying that I insisted on carrying a bag on my back. I ignored him, and finally he stopped trying to strike up a conversation, and the man who woke up, perhaps because he was weak, didn't ask much. Time passed in this awkward and dreary atmosphere, and by the time the wind became smaller, it was almost the night. Maintaining a sitting posture for a long time will inevitably lead to numbness in the body, and it will be possible to get up after a little loosening.

"Wait, make sure the storm is over before we act." Xiao Mo next to me suddenly reminded in a low voice, I was slightly surprised, and thought they were all asleep. Dropped: "I just got up and surveyed the terrain." "I poked my head out of the crack and looked up, and I could clearly see that there were gaps between the sand layers, so the air could come in, and it was really not high from the top, and it was about six or seven meters by sight.

It looks like we've fallen into a rock crevice, but are there rocks in the sand? Drowned in sand? Although I have experienced desert walking, I don't know much about the desert.

Xiao Mo beside me was puzzled: "This is a collapsed ruins, the place where we rolled down happened to be in the gap between two broken walls, fortunately, the bottom bent into a space for people to live in, otherwise we might be buried under this sand forever." ”

Hearing him say this, it suddenly dawned on him that it was an expert in sand archaeology, and he could understand the general situation by only seeing this fragmented part. It has to be said that everyone has their own area of expertise, and it is difficult for a layman to get involved. After more than half an hour, the storm had completely subsided, and judging from the light that penetrated the sand, it should have been dawn, the clouds had dispersed, and it was time to prepare to find the way.

In fact, the method was thought of just now, and one person went to the far left of the crack to shake off a sand pile, so that the sand was filled diagonally, so as to empty the space on the far right and upward, and it could be connected to the top. But the premise is that the sand on both sides is not driven, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and it may even bury all the cracks. This time, Xiao Mo took the initiative to let him drain the quicksand layer, and I didn't object, so I pulled another person back to the far right. It also really let me see the true skills of this Xiao team, from his calm face, but his movements are slight and meticulous, it can be seen that he is really familiar with this sandy environment.

When the sand pile was successfully drained as we imagined, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After that, it was much easier to climb up, I had the shadow moon in my hand, even if it was not as sharp as the original, but it was still possible to chisel into the remnants of the ruins, and the three of them stacked Arhats upward, I was on the top layer, only more than a meter above the ground, and I could climb up with the help of this knife chisel force. When I got to the top, I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, it turned out that the storm had blown out the ruins, and most of the sand and dust were blocked from the remnant wall, leaving only a small part on the top of our cracks, even if the hourglass really happened, it should not be completely submerged in the cracks underneath.

I had ropes in my bag, so I tied them around my waist when I came up, and now I'm up and I just have to pull them up one by one. After both of them climbed up, the team member who had left the team panted and said to me, "I can't see that you are petite and have so much strength." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and counted it as a compliment. I took the rope and put it in my bag, and when I turned around, I saw the two of them in front of a stone wall, and I didn't know what they were thinking. When I got closer, I noticed that they had brought the sand and gravel on it, revealing some patterns, but at first I didn't pay attention to it, but when the archaeological researchers became interested in this kind of thing, I wanted to urge them to go back quickly, and came out to find someone to look for the night, and the large army that stayed there to avoid the wind did not know what was going on, and I was very anxious to see that we were not returning.

But at a glance, my blood froze, and Xiao Mo brushed away the sand and dust on the upper part of the remnant wall, revealing a small half of the pattern, and the pattern ...... I'm all too familiar with the frescoes in the castle! There is also an ancient castle in Jinsha Ancient Town, and the stone walls of the castle are also carved with patterns, but before I came, I would often go to stay outside the ancient castle, which is so far away from this place that it is impossible to say that I was scraped here.

walked to the remnant wall beside him, wiped away the sand and dust with his sleeve, gritted his teeth and walked to the other side to wipe again, went to several places in a row, and his heart sank to the bottom. Still unwilling, I looked around, my eyes were suddenly frozen in one place, and then I almost stumbled over, and wiped the sand and dust off the huge object in front of me fiercely, and I saw that the bottom was black, but I was still paranoid about wiping the whole part.

When all the forms were revealed, there was an exclamation from behind him: "Oh my God, what is that?" ”

"What kind of bird sculpture it is!"

A voice in my heart roared and retorted: It's not a bird, it's a ...... Daedric bats. At the previous moment, I even imagined that Sheng Shiyao five hundred years ago not only built the ancient castle in Jinsha Ancient Town, but also the ruins he saw in front of him were buried in the sand; But at this moment, I couldn't lie to myself anymore, because the eyes of the huge bat relief in front of me were sparkling...... Two green glass beads, the only two in the world, and there is no possibility of a third. Ironclad fact, this ruin, this ruin, this ruin, is the ancient castle of the Soul City! And the door of life and death, which should have been behind the bat sculpture, is empty at this time.

I hesitated for a moment, reached out to Qing Lizhu, and Xiao Mo behind me hurriedly shouted: "Don't move it!" Beware of the traps! But I didn't pay attention to it, I took off the two of them, and the red crystals behind them shot out the light, and pressed them one by one, the bat's mouth began to open, and spit out the stone ring inside, I pulled hard, and the belly of the sculpture pulled open the stone slab, revealing the four carvings inside, and I sank my heart, and pressed one of the points with my hand, and the carvings moved away again, revealing the innermost layer of carvings, and then my eyes froze.

The heart-rending pain flooded in my heart, and I finally saw Sheng Shiyao, in the carving.

After two thousand years, I can finally understand the mood of Ying Ning when he carved this painting, every stroke and every painting is like blood dripping from my heart. Love is really an emotion carved into the blood and bones, and then taken out and stirred.

Whose voice came from beside him was asking, "Cheng Xiao, why are you crying?" I raised my hand and wiped my cheeks, which were wet and cool, and then I realized that the dry tears welled up again. Why are you crying? Because, I miss someone too much, and I followed the trajectory of the past to search hard, but I only found a carved painting engraved with his figure. On this journey, I was thinking and analyzing every day, where was the most likely place for him to go? All the points were pointing to the Soul City, which was the place where he was reincarnated as a human, the only city where he had been withdrawn from the magnetic field space, and where his Ying Dragon Soul had lived for thousands of years. Whether it is body or soul, Soul City is the most likely place for him to return.

However, the remnants of the ancient castle of the Soul City appeared in this sea of sand, and it stands to reason that the two spaces are parallel, and if you don't enter that special magnetic field space, you can't see these at all. There was only one explanation: it was that the parallel space had disappeared, making the city a ruined city buried under the dust. And ask: Why did it disappear? The answer is cruel and sharp, because the magnetic field space itself was created by Sheng Shiyao, then, only if he disappears, this space he created will disappear together, and then the soul city will come out, and after this storm, it will become such a remnant. Some are still buried under the sand, and some are popping up.

In the end, is it still a void? No, I don't believe it, obviously the black stone forest hasn't arrived yet, and it's not within the Soul City area. Possible...... Maybe it's just that the castle has escaped from the Soul City for some reason? Even if the entire Ning City came out, as well as the dark cave and the mountain where Ying Long and the Bat King lived together, Sheng Shiyao was seriously injured, so he had to go back to the Bat King Cave to recuperate.

Firm in this belief, I straightened up and strode away, and behind me I heard the shouts of the fallen team members: "Eh, where are you going?" How can you just take that thing? It's all a national relic. ”
