After entering the Biye Pass, the eyes are full of desolate and desolate ropes buried by the yellow sand, and the outlines of several towers frozen by time can be faintly seen, and the broken walls are all integrated with the yellow sand, and it is impossible to distinguish what it once looked like. We shouted a few times inside, but we didn't hear a response from the first expedition members.

Thinking of the drawings that had been abandoned in that cellar before, the sense of foreboding in my heart reappeared, where did they go?

"Damn, isn't it a fat man, there's no one here at all!" I found a fat bear who found nothing and didn't have a good airway.

"There is a temple-like place in front of it, which is quite well preserved, and those turtle grandsons are probably hiding in it to avoid the wind and sand." Zheng Tian suddenly pointed to a building with an exposed dome in front of him on the right and said.

As soon as Zheng Tian's words fell, Ai Lanlin came over and said sharply: "Don't insult my colleagues!" ”

"Hey, that guy named Ganfeng can't be your boyfriend, right? So short-guarded. Zheng Tian said in a dragging voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's important to find someone, let's go to the temple now." I pushed Zheng Tian away again and again, in fact, I was afraid that this unobtrusive guy would be beaten by Moson and them.

As we walked, Urati told us: "The temple is not the original building of Biyeguan, but was built by the believers of the true god after the Republic of China. ”

"Built by the Republic of China? Has the ruins been explored? I asked.

"Followers of the true God follow the instructions of the true God and sow His great grace in every corner of the desert." Urat said as he made a gesture of prayer.

"The old man is grinding again." Fat Bear was dissatisfied.

When the prayer was finished, Professor Wu asked, "Are there monks in it now?" ”

Urati shook his head: "This temple was broken in the sixties when it was dilapidated and is now abandoned. ”

As we spoke, we had already walked to the door of the abandoned temple, due to long-term exposure to wind and sand, disrepair, the surface wall of the temple has basically fallen off, the style is basically the common Tibetan Buddhist temple, but for some reason, it feels like there is also some shadow of European Gothic architecture.

We pushed open the sand-strewn temple gates and searched and shouted around the dilapidated and desolate temple, but there was still no response.

"It seems that Ganfeng, they are not here at all." Professor Wu said, looking at the empty temple.

"It's not like we're going to go first when we're impatient, right?" Fat Bear guessed.

"Impossible! Gan Feng received the order to join us, and it was impossible for them to act alone before we arrived. Alan Lin was adamant in her denial.

"Didn't the letter say that we would meet at Biyeguan? Now we're here, but what about them? "The fat bear does not give up.

Elanlyn bowed her head and remained silent.

"Maybe they showed up...... Accidentally? I was careful to say what I thought.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Alan Lin became excited again, it seemed that she really cared about the person named Gan Feng.

Professor Wu patted Ai Lanlin on the shoulder: "Don't worry, they must be fine." Then he turned his head to me and said, "Advisor Dian, since you are our leader, may I ask if we should continue to look for the ancient city now, or return to Xishi Town to wait for Gan Feng and their news?" ”

If you think about it, we already have the map we found in Heizhugou, and we can find the ancient city. But I don't have much courage in person, and it was really a little difficult for me to make such a big choice suddenly, so I threw my eyes on Nangong Han, who had been leaning against the wall and thinking about himself, although he didn't look at me, he seemed to know my embarrassment, and walked to my side and whispered: "Keep going." ”

Although Nangong Han's voice was very soft, it was very powerful in my ears, and I nodded and said, "It's not an accident that Gan Feng left the road map he drew by himself, maybe they have already gone to find Luo Licheng before us, so let's go forward too, maybe we will meet again." ”

Then I turned to Urati and continued: "The map marks that Luoli City is fifty miles northeast of Biyeguan, you are very familiar with this desert, you should know how to go, right?" ”

After hearing this, Urati shook his hand again and again: "O true god! You don't want Urat to continue to lead you? Urati is old, and now he just wants to get the money and go back to live in peace. As for the forbidden area of Luoli City, Urati will never go again. ”

"Do you mean you know that place?" I said.

"Not only do I know, but I have been there." Ulati replied.

Hearing this, Professor Wu immediately became excited: "What? You've been to that ancient city, why didn't you say it earlier, we came here for that ancient city! ”

"You didn't ask me before." Urati said aggrievedly.

"Tell me what's going on there?" I asked again.

Urat recalled: "I went there once when I was young, it was terrible, black clouds covered the city, white ghosts floated in front of me, Urati never wanted to go again in his life!" ”

"Damn, what nonsense is this old man talking about?" Fat Bear said disdainfully.

"What Urati says is the truth, the true God is above, and Urati never lies." Ulati replied.

After Urati finished speaking, the short-tempered bald man Morson suddenly walked up to him, waved his fist and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Old man! Give you another chance to think about it. Do you want to be a guide for us? ”

Professor Wu stepped forward and patted Mo Sen, signaling him not to be so rude, and then took out 100,000 yuan in cash from his bag and said to Urati: "This is our promise to you, a lot of money, of course, if you continue to be a guide and help us find the ancient city of Wanli, then we will ask the company to give you another 400,000." ”

Urati took over this pile of hairy grandfathers, and his face began to become mixed and worried, and he was very entangled: "Can you really give Urati so much money?" ”

"Swear by your true God." Professor Wu replied.

Urati closed his eyes, muttered a prayer in a slurred manner, then nodded and said, "The true god told Urati that he could help his friends from afar to find the ancient city of Luoli.

The fat bear sneered and said to me, "What a true god, in my opinion, it is the God of Wealth, this old man is a wealth obsesser." ”

I pinched the bear lightly: "Don't say this kind of thing if you know it." ”

Almost without delay, our group continued to set off, during which I asked Urati in detail about the city of Luoli, Urati said that the city existed in legend, and that it was a complete coincidence that he found out that it was originally to escort a group of tourists out of the desert, but because of a sudden sandstorm, he had to forcibly change the original route and go to an unfamiliar area of his own.

They groped for five or six hours in that strange area, seeing that food and water sources were getting scarcer and shorter, but no matter what, they still couldn't get out of the desert, Urati thought that he was going to die in the desert this time, but to his surprise, he found a water source, and a flag was planted next to the water source, and they looked in the direction where the flag was flying, and a magnificent ancient city came into their eyes.

This ancient city is not like the ruins of Loulan and other ruins, it is quite well preserved, and it seems to have a vitality that travels through time and space, making them think that they have encountered a mirage at first sight.

They had just wanted to go inside the city to take a look, but the sandstorm struck again, and this time it was a little different from the last time, with dark clouds hanging over the city, and white ghosts floating in front of them. The sight was terrible, all of them lost consciousness in an instant, and by the time they woke up, the city and the people were gone. Urat was left alone in the desert, and he walked for three days and three nights, and finally returned to Xishi Town.

"So you didn't enter the city at the time, so how do you know that it's Luo Licheng?" Professor Wu asked.

"For it is written in the doctrine of the true God, that far away city of Loli, in a place where dark clouds and ghosts wander."

Urati's words sounded too mysterious to have any practical reference significance, so we didn't ask any more questions and concentrated on hurrying.
