I saw that the rune paper was not a long strip, but a square, and the cinnabar runes on them were not moist, so they should have just been drawn.

But Xiao Daotong said that in order to "make" these pieces of rune paper, Daoist Huaqing was "too tired to come out to see each other again".

I don't know what kind of energy it takes to draw the rune paper, but it can be seen that these rune papers must be very important.

So I hurriedly replaced the Cao expert and others who didn't know what to do, and bowed down to thank Xiaodaotong.

Xiao Daotong didn't say much, and there were other Taoists who sent us out to watch.

I discussed with Expert Cao what supplies I needed to procure, and Expert Cao said, "We will prepare what we need, but you need to pay for your share!" ”

I hurriedly agreed, and asked Expert Cao to prepare well, money is not a problem.

Expert Cao said: "That Taoist said that you are amazing, it seems that you are really amazing, you are young, you don't take money seriously!" ”

He has never had a good face for me, and it is estimated that Daoist Huaqing just now admired me as a young man, but he was very contemptuous of his elderly expert, which made him feel unhappy in his heart.

Seeing that Gao Lingkai's face changed, and it seemed that he couldn't help but scold Expert Cao, I hurriedly made a look and reminded him that we needed Expert Cao to lead the way into the desert, and now I could only swallow my anger.

After agreeing to set off into the desert two days later, I solemnly reminded them: "Please keep these few pieces of talisman paper well, I repeat, this is a matter of life, not a joke!" ”

Expert Cao ignored me, and Luo Feiteng obviously showed a less serious expression.

Only Peng Pai nodded, and Ha Meng said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's fun!" ”

I knew that it would be disrespectful to her own beliefs to let her wear the tokens of other religions on her, so I hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, you should be joking, as long as you don't lose it!" ”

After that, I drove separately with them, and after thinking about it again, I talked to Captain Ma on the phone and reported to Captain Ma about the fact that we were going to go into the desert, so as not to ask Captain Ma about what happened to me.

In the next two days, Gao Lingkai and I also prepared some supplies that we thought were necessary, and on the day of departure, we got up early in the morning and rushed to Luosha Town to meet with Cao Expert and others.

I originally hoped not to go through Luosha Town, so as not to alarm the evil male ghost who possessed Yao Wenjing, but Expert Cao didn't listen to me at all, and only said that it was most convenient to start from Luosha Town.

I can only advise to go as early as possible, so as not to alarm the townspeople to spread the rumors.

We parked behind a hotel in Rocha Town, and Mr. Cao was familiar with the innkeeper, but I paid a parking fee and asked the owner to take care of it for us.

After that, a group of six people rode on the camels prepared by Cao Expert and others, passed through the northern sand control forest, and headed towards the desert.

This is the first time Gao Lingkai and I have entered the desert, and it is also the first time to ride a camel.

But we've practiced horseback riding before, and camels are much more docile than horses, so we didn't make any mistakes.

It's just that it inevitably shows clumsiness, which causes Ha Meng to giggle.

Entering the desert, you can see the endless yellow sand, and there are rolling sand dunes one after another, which look magnificent and magical under the morning light.

Gao Lingkai and I felt both fresh and exciting, and couldn't help but drive the camel to chase me.

Ha Meng and Luo Feiteng soon joined us, and the four of them laughed constantly, and the little estrangement that there was soon disappeared.

Even Expert Cao's indifferent face gradually eased a lot, and he caught up and shouted loudly: "You can't run around like this, you have to save the physical strength of the camel as much as possible!" ”

We eased up, and Expert Cao glanced at me and said, "I thought you were very capable, but I didn't expect you to be a playful child!" ”

"In front of Teacher Cao, I was originally an immature child!" I hurriedly smiled and pushed the boat down the river, "Fortunately, I invited Mr. Cao, and I have to ask Mr. Cao to take care of me along the way!" ”

Expert Cao snorted and didn't say anything more.

Ha Meng shouted loudly: "Gao Lingkai, don't you want to tell us some legendary stories, let's talk about it!" ”

"I want to talk about it, I'm afraid you will say that I am talking nonsense!" Gao Lingkai replied.

"Let's talk about it first!" Ha Meng said, slightly coquettish.

Gao Lingkai couldn't stand this the most, and turned his head to look at me.

I thought that even if they didn't encounter anything strange along the way, they would definitely see something frightening when they entered the ancient tomb, so whether they believed it or not, it was better to give them a vaccination first.

Thinking like this in his heart, he was about to nod at Gao Lingkai, but Expert Cao impatiently preemptively said: "What to say, I don't believe in these gods and gods, you want to hear and talk, wait until you carry me!" ”

Gao Lingkai had no choice but to close his mouth, while Ha Meng stuck out his tongue at Gao Lingkai and made a grimace.

After that, several people fell silent.

I can't help but secretly sympathize with Peng Pai, with such a rigid master, I am usually much more tired from work.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the sun was shining, and people like me and Gao Lingkai who had entered the desert for the first time finally had a taste of the cruel side of the desert.

Specialist Cao saw that a few of us couldn't stand it, and said: "There is an oasis further ahead, let's go there to rest for a while, and let the camels nourish their spirits." ”

A few of us lifted our spirits and coincidentally sped up the speed.

Unexpectedly, he didn't go far further, and Ha Meng and Peng Pai, who were walking in the front, suddenly exclaimed in unison.

We didn't know what they saw, so we hurried to drive the camels up.

But in the yellow sand, a round object was faintly exposed, and there was some furry fluttering in the wind on the object, just like the scorched hair of a human being.

"Like...... It's a dead man! Ha Meng stammered.

Gao Lingkai and I jumped off the camel and approached to see.

Sure enough, it was a human head with yellow sand exposed.

Of course, this head can't be as alive as Sasha, in fact, after we peeled away the yellow sand, we were shocked to find that the flesh of the human scalp was scorched, which was very scary.

The handful of hair barely remained on the top of our heads, and as we stirred the sand, the handful of hair also drifted in the wind.

And it was not just a human head, under the human head, there was a whole human body buried in the yellow sand.

However, the whole human body has become a dried corpse, so it has not rotted, and there is no unpleasant smell.

Expert Cao sighed and said, "As long as you die in the desert, it won't be long before you become a dry corpse!" Sometimes I wonder how troublesome Egyptian mummification is, but the best way to preserve the corpse is to put it in the desert! ”

As he spoke, he actually squatted down without any taboos, dug out the whole dried corpse, and said: "Judging from the decay of this clothes, it should have been dead for less than three years." Let's see if we can find the documents and the like, if we can find them, let's bring a message back to his family, so that the family will not be worried all the time. ”

He had a good heart, and I couldn't help but crouch down and dig through the pockets of the dry corpse, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything to prove his identity.

Expert Cao sighed, let's dig a sand pit and bury this dried corpse again.

Luo Feiteng couldn't help but say: "It's windy in the desert, even if you bury him, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the wind blows out again!" ”

"But it is also possible to be blown deeper by the wind!" Peng Pai said that the first thing to do was to lie on the yellow sand, and then dig the pit with both hands.

Gao Lingkai and I also lay down to help.

The yellow sand was soft, and soon a large pit was dug out, and we put the dried corpse in the sand pit and covered it with yellow sand.

and then move forward.

After more than ten minutes, I saw a small oasis.

It is said to be an oasis, but in fact there is a small pond with some low shrubs and the like growing around the pond, and there is also a huge rock that is more than ten meters high.

It was the first time that Gao Lingkai and I knew that there would be such a big rock in the desert.

And from the back of this boulder, you can't see the rocks at all, only a sand dune.

Presumably, this oasis exists precisely because this boulder blocks the wind and sand, as well as the sun at most times of the day.

The top of the boulder sloped forward, just in the shade of the small pool.

A few of us jumped off the camel and led it to the shade of the boulder, after which we took the water from the small pond in our hands and tasted it.

People say that the water in the desert oasis is very sweet, and I think it's just because I'm too thirsty when I walk in the desert.

And we are not too far now, and we have plenty of drinking water, so naturally we don't feel that the water in the pond is delicious.

Still, we took out our water bags, refilled them, and then wanted to rest at the foot of the boulder.

Expert Cao suddenly said: "Be careful, there may be desert poisonous snakes in this place, it is highly poisonous!" ”

A few of us were startled, and turned to look at Expert Cao, only to see that he was taking out a thin metal stick from the back of a camel.

The thin stick was retractable, and Expert Cao pulled it long with his hand, and then used the pointed end to dial and beat in the crack of the rock.

Just listening to the "whoosh" sound, there was really a gray poisonous snake that came out of the crack in the rock.

The venomous snake was tall on the top, but the lower part of its body was coiled together, and two fierce little eyes stared at us, and the scarlet snake couldn't help but swallow it.

And as it continues to swim on the ground, its scales rub against the ground and make a terrible "whoosh" sound.

Ha Meng exclaimed in fright and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands.

Expert Cao shouted in a low voice: "Don't move, let it retreat into the rock crevice, let's stay away from it!" ”

"Why don't you just kill it?" Gao Lingkai said.

"Life in the desert is very rare, and every single one is precious!" Expert Cao said, glaring at Gao Lingkai.

Gao Lingkai had no choice but to shut up, and several of us all looked nervous and motionless.
