Thousands of alpacas rushed through my mind.

The shadow ghost actually appeared in the Hanhai Desert, and I always thought that it had been completely destroyed.

Because it has disappeared since the third uncle first activated the all-strike thunderstorm array, and has not appeared since, and the enslaved Feng Deliang has also been freed.

The most plausible explanation is that it was cleaved into smoke during a sudden thunderstorm and completely disappeared from this world. That thunderstorm was too strong, as strong as Lu Ningxiang was injured and slumbering, and since that thunderstorm, there have been many fewer ghosts and evil spirits gathered in Jinpen Township.

Unexpectedly, it did not perish, but escaped and appeared in the Hanhai Desert.

This shows that the shadow ghost is very likely to be a minion under the command of the Hanhai Demon King, a ghost spy lurking in Jinpen Township, exploring the secrets of Jinpen Township and monitoring the wind and grass in Jinpen Township.

"Is it it?" Huang Mao also recognized it, his face changed slightly, and said, "It turned out to be under the command of the Hanhai Ghost King, I really didn't expect it."

"Shadow ghosts?" At this time, the fat man also muttered.

We all looked at him in unison, because we had all thought that the shadow ghost had been hacked to death, so we hadn't mentioned it, and the fat man muttered as if he knew it.

"You've seen it?" Huang Mao asked.

As a result, the fat man nodded and said, "I've seen it twice, although I don't know who it is, but I'm sure that its energy is not small, and there is a strong force behind it."

I'm speechless, even the fat man has seen it.

It seems that he underestimated it, I am afraid that it is not only as simple as a ghost spy under the command of the Hanhai Demon King, but at least it is also the backbone.

After that, the man and the shadow ghost were talking, but when the shadow ghost left, the man turned and returned.

"There are two ways to fight." Huang Mao immediately made a decision, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Leizi, you go chasing ghosts, remember to leave a mark along the way." The others went with me to arrest people. ”

I said yes, and immediately got off the sand beam and chased down in the direction where the shadow ghost had disappeared.

Judging from the confluence situation, the shadow ghost is not simple, I chase the target alone, it is not easy to be discovered, and besides, my speed is also the fastest.

I tried to speed up as much as I could without making a sound, and the wool pads under my feet helped a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go fast at all, and when I did, it would be loud.

The speed of the shadow ghost is faster than the speed of a human to dodge, and I chased all the way with all my strength, but I could only see a faint shadow, fluttering in front of me, and it would disappear at any time.

But the strange thing is that I miraculously did not chase it away, during which it disappeared no less than ten times, making me anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but after running for a while, I could see it hanging in the distance.

I don't know how to describe the feeling, it seemed to find me, but it didn't throw me off.

Eventually, it disappeared into a patch of yellow sand, without a trace.

I looked around, but I couldn't find any markers, the vast desert, not to mention that there were no markers around me, even the sky was also a piece of yellow sand.

I tried to find something different here, but I didn't find anything. After a while, Huang Mao and the others caught up and hurriedly asked what the situation was.

When I told me about the results of the tracking, they all frowned.

Hu Lai immediately lay down on the yellow sand, listened down, sensed carefully, and after a while, his brows furrowed, and said: "The water vapor below is obviously more than other places, there used to be rivers here, and even lakes were formed."

"Where there is a lake, there is water, where there is water, there are people, and if there are people, there is a city, could this be where the ancient temple of Loulan is located?" Cao Nan analyzed.

"Unlikely, it's too close." The fat man shook his head and vetoed, and said: "The vast desert, this is just a marginal area, if it was so easy to find, the lair of the Hanhai Ghost King would have been exposed a long time ago."

After a pause, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there an underground river down there?"

Hu Lai immediately nodded and said, "There is an underground river, and the above-ground river here has dried up, but the underground river is still abundant, and it is a big river."

"The diversion of the above-ground river is an important factor in the demise of Guloulan, although the above-ground river and the underground river are not the same water system, but in the end there is a connection."

The fat man began to groan, and then said, "Let's go upstream along the underground river and see if we can find anything." It's only two hours from the town, and neither the entrance to the ghost nor the ancient temple can be placed here. ”

We all nodded, yes.

The shadow ghost should have chased it and left, it will not leave footprints when it moves, and it will be chased and lost if you are not careful.

So, led by Hu Lai, we followed the underground river to open the source and go up, facing west.

And this walk is more than two full days away.

The desert is dry and monotonous, except that the yellow sand is the wind, we are bored in a hurry, and we don't know whether the fat man's method is right, in short, there are many questions.

On the third day, we stopped.

Because the underground river that has been stretching for more than two days has actually branched, one to the south and the other to the northwest, in completely different directions.

Hu Lai couldn't make up his mind for a while, and we climbed the sand beam to look around, and we didn't know what to do.

"One in two probabilities." Huang Mao said helplessly.

I swallowed dryly, we didn't have enough water before we came, and last night the water was cut off, and my throat began to smoke, thanks to cultivators, if ordinary people had died of thirst.

I have to say that the Hanhai Ghost King will indeed choose a location, this large desert is a forbidden area for life, lurking here, the sky is wide and the birds don't, no one wants to run in to provoke it.

I was looking around with a telescope, and at that moment, suddenly a pair of moving shadows appeared at a certain point in the sky.

But at this time, the sun is rising, the heat is steaming, the light is distorted, and it is not clear to see, like the real thing, and like a mirage.

"There's something over there!" Cao Nan also found out.

Everyone lay on the ground and held up the binoculars, and they were all shocked when they looked at it.

"Is this real, or is it a mirage?" Huang Mao can't really see it, it's too erratic.

The fat man said, "Wait and see, we'll see in a while."

We waited quietly, and after a while the moving shadows grew larger, and finally we saw that it was a group of people dressed in black, men and women, old and young.

They walk a few steps and then prostrate on the ground, throw themselves on the ground, then get up, walk a few steps, throw themselves on the ground again, and get up again...... And so on and so forth.

It was a pilgrimage, and it was on the way to worship.

I was suddenly shocked and said, "In this Hanhai Desert, there are still people worshipping?" What to worship? ”

Not only me, but everyone was shocked, looking at each other, unable to think of a reasonable explanation for a while.

In the depths of the Hanhai Desert, there is nothing but sand around, and the sun is shining, how can the hot yellow sand lie down?

Such a pilgrimage can make people suffer from heat stroke in less than half an hour.

Things are thick and weird!

"Lean over and see?" I suggest that the pilgrimage procession did not come towards us, but instead slanted into the field of vision and went in the other direction.

It's hard to find something, and if you don't go there, it's a waste of money.

"Okay, be careful!" Huang Mao nodded.

So we jumped off the sand beam and rushed over there, but the closer we got to it, the more shocked we became, because we found that the clothes of these people were not modern people, they were ancient people, and they were not the ancients of the Eastern Soil, like the people of the ancient Western Regions, civilians, living in obvious hardship, ragged clothes.

They are clearly a family, and men, women, and children go out to worship in groups.

"This ...... This is not a real person. Cao Nan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unable to believe what was in front of him.

"It's not a mirage, either." Hu Lai also opened his mouth and said: "The mirage is a projection of the same time, and it will never be reflected back to ancient times."

"And unapproachable, we're getting closer." Yellow hair was then added.

"What the hell is that?" My eyes widened and I suppressed my voice, for fear that I would be too loud to ruin the incomprehensible scene in front of me.

"This ...... This is the legendary spirit man showing the way! The fat man exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief, and said, "It's really pointing!!"

We all looked at him with a puzzled face.

The fat man licked his lips and said, "Spirit man guiding the way is a rare phenomenon through the ages, a great opportunity, and a great cause and effect."

"Can you explain it a little better?" I listened in the clouds and said hurriedly.

"That's it...... It is the existence of great mana that is showing us the way. The fat man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after speaking, he pointed his finger towards the sky, meaning that the existence of this great mana is God.

I was shocked, and at the same time I didn't believe it, God is showing us the way?

Isn't that mysterious?

Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs, and God can personally show people the way?

"This ...... It's a legend, right? Huang Mao also felt mysterious.

"Sort of."

The fat man's face twitched, and he said: "But no matter what, these ancient spirit people are showing us the way, to be precise, one of us."

As the words fell, everyone looked at me.

In terms of cause and effect, there is no one more heavy than me present, and even Sai Yuer said that I have an indescribable power attached to me.

"These spirits are the embodiment of cause and effect, the embodiment of karma, adhering to the will of heaven and earth, guiding you forward, this is a creation." The fat man said excitedly, his eyes lit up.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in my heart that this is too mysterious, who is showing me the way, cause and effect, karma? I won't believe that it's God, as the saying goes, if there is love, the sky will be old, God has no feelings, and all reincarnation is created by cause and effect.

"Don't be stunned, if you hadn't come, these spirits wouldn't have appeared at all, follow them, they will take us where you are going." The fat man saw that I was hesitant, and hurriedly pushed me to go that way.

I came to the back of the spirit group and followed in unison.

Their costumes are very ancient, wearing animal skins, with buttons made of animal tendons and fish bones, and ornaments are scarce, the most conspicuous one is a string of shell necklaces around the neck of the old man at the head, and several hairpins on the heads of women and children that are obviously polished from fish bones.

The young man also carried a weapon, which he carried on his back, a bone fork, and a spear made of tuna bones...... Their expressions are extremely pious, and every action is very standard, without the slightest slackness, as if they are worshipping the most true, kind and beautiful god in the world.

"What era is this?" I asked, using shells for necklaces and fish bones for buttons, it feels like being in a primitive society. What's more, this is a big desert, there is no water and no fish, where are the shells and fish bones, and the long-beaked bone spurs of tuna?

In particular, tuna, which is a fish of the sea, is the most inland part of the hinterland of the Western Regions, thousands of miles away from the sea.

God, my mind is directly confused.

"I don't know what era, but I'm sure that the Hanhai Desert at that time was a sea." Yellow hair's eyelids jumped.

All of us were shocked and unimaginable, but the living facts were in front of us, these were fishermen, fishermen who fished at sea for a living.

The era of life is definitely beyond our imagination, far older than the ancient country of Loulan. It was a great change in geography, and the ocean became a desert.

"Hanhai Hanhai, could it be that this great desert was called Hanhai a long time ago?" Cao Nan tasted two sentences and said in surprise.

I was stunned, really!

The Hanhai Desert is called that, but I have never thought about why a great desert should be named a sea.

So the explanation is correct.

Just when we were shocked, a little girl at the back of the spirit team suddenly turned around, smiled at me, showed a shiny little tiger tooth, and said, "You're back."
