Chapter 39: Ghost City

She was halfway through her words, I didn't understand, but Wang Zehai was well-informed, and immediately answered: "Or some treasure thieves." ”

Han Zitong nodded.

The so-called treasure thieves are actually similar to tomb robbers. However, tomb robbers generally dig up tombs to steal the burial goods in the tombs, while treasure thieves like to look for some ancient ruins and steal the antiques inside.

Could this person be a treasure thief?

Immediately afterwards, Han Zitong said: "Of course, there is a second situation. As she spoke, she took out her pen and dotted a dot on the map, saying, "This is where we are now." She pointed to the spot, and then, with her finger moving to the left, resting on an irregular circle, said, "This is an oasis, the closest oasis to us, according to what he said before, he was injured and crawled in the desert for a day and a night, and according to the distance, his ancient well may also be in the oasis." ”

Wang Zehai nodded and said, "Well, yes, I heard that there were people in this oasis before. ”

"Yes, but that was decades ago." After all, the location of the oasis is too remote, and after the economy is developed, the compatriots in Xinjiang are selling fruits and jade, and when the conditions are better, no one wants to stay in the oasis anymore. They have moved out of the desert and lived in semi-desert areas with relatively good conditions, so this oasis has long been deserted.

Although there is no one, the old house is still there, so there must be a well there.

The ruins weren't easy to find, so we decided to go to the location of the oasis first.

Wang Zehai is very righteous, this time he is the boss, but it did not stop us from wanting to save people, but strongly supported it, he was covered in flesh and had the worst physical strength, but he gritted his teeth and insisted.

This reminds me of one thing.

When I was working in the previous company, one day a rich second generation came, and the family wanted him to exercise, so they got him to stay in our small company. Every day when we commute to and from work, we drive a BMW, and we eat a boxed lunch of eight yuan, and he will have to pay about 100 yuan for a meal.

At that time, my colleagues in the company scolded him hard behind his back, and he was not used to seeing people driving BMWs, nor was he used to seeing people eating well.

I was a rather die-hard person, and I refused to follow the crowd at that time, because the rich second generation was actually quite good, and I often saw that my colleagues had any difficulties, and they would take a hand and help me move things. People have their own money and spend their own money, what are we jealous of?

Because of this, my colleagues even excluded me and asked me if I wanted to shoot other people's sycophants.

In fact, sometimes, blindly hating the rich will only make you look more hateful, and your hatred of others is actually just something you want to have but can't get.

Most people, the real hate, should be those who are unkind to the rich, rather than blindly hating all those who are better off than themselves.

We ate something and started on a night walk. It's about seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun sets late in the desert. At this moment, half of the red sunset on the horizon, the magnificent sunset stretches brightly, like a splendid spread in the sky, which really responds to the sentence: the desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river.

Well, there is no smoke here, and there is no long river, but at least there is a desert and a sunset, and I have read a lot, so I can only think of such a sentence.

We had a few hours of rest during the day, so we weren't too tired to get up to the night, and according to the plan, we should be able to reach the oasis around six o'clock tomorrow morning.

Of course, this is just a plan, and a plan can never catch up with change.

When it gets completely dark, the temperature in the desert plummets, and if the sun peels off during the day, then it is cold at night, and I wish I could wear an extra jacket. We didn't have any plans to travel at night, so we didn't carry thick clothes at all, only sleeping bags, but we couldn't always put our sleeping bags on our bodies, right? So at night, everyone was cold. Han Xu was originally sitting on a camel, but in the end, he couldn't resist the cold wind, jumped off the camel and walked on his own, so that he could warm up his body.

Not long after Han Xu came down, something happened about it.

He was just out to play, jumping up and down at the forefront, Han Zitong would tell him to wait from time to time, and this kid didn't listen at all. But fortunately, the desert is open, and we turned on a powerful searchlight, so although Han Xu jumped a little far, it was still within our line of sight, except for Han Zitong who was a little nervous, everyone didn't pay much attention.

Who knew that the next moment, Han Xu's figure stopped suddenly, and then, suddenly shouted.

Listening to that cry was like seeing something extremely exciting.

"Ah...... Sister, sister, come and see! He shouted excitedly as he bounced and waved at us. We were tired and a little lacking in energy, and when I saw him like this, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: what did this kid see, and he was so excited?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace. After walking to Han Xu's side, the scene unfolding in front of him immediately made everyone dumbfounded.

I couldn't help but say, "Boss, am I hallucinating?" ”

It stands to reason that it's night, and even if we have a searchlight in our hands, the range of vision is limited. But at this moment, our vision has become extremely broad, because under the sand dunes in front of us, there is a continuous group of buildings in the style of the ancient Western Regions!

Yes, it is a large complex of buildings, lit by dim candlelight, and the largest of them is a dome-shaped spire, which is clearly a royal palace or something.

The whole ancient city is silent in the night, it looks ancient and mysterious, and the light dotted with it lights up the night of the ancient city.

No, this is not normal!

Even if I don't have much knowledge, I know it's definitely not normal.

This is the desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert, even if there are ancient ruins, it is impossible to have such a large area of intact preserved, and there are ancient ruins of fire!

After I finished speaking, Tan Jian replied, "It's not an illusion. ”

Wang Zehai swallowed his saliva and speculated: "Is it a mirage?" After speaking, he immediately vetoed it himself: "The mirage is related to the sun, how can there be a mirage at night?" Damn, it's not going to hit the ghost, is it? As he spoke, he immediately turned his gaze to Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian, after all, the two of them were experts in these strange things.

Compared to our shock, Han Xu, this kid, was very excited, and shouted: "Wow, there is a castle, sister, will there be an evil dragon in it, let's go kill the evil dragon and rescue the princess." ”

For his innocence, what an embarrassment. You know, there are only two words that come to my mind right now: ghost towns.

In the middle of the night, such a thing appeared in the desert, isn't it a ghost?

After Wang Zehai asked, Tan Jian touched his chin, he and Zhou Xuanye glanced at each other, and the two seemed to have eyebrows. These two are studying art together, and they are brothers and sisters, so they should have been together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding.

I heard Zhou Xuanye say: "It may be a ghost market, don't go to the front, go around." ”

The ghost market has been described many times in the classical ghost novel "Liao Zhai". Ghost market, also known as mountain market. Between the barren mountains and mountains, there are suddenly roads and houses, and the flow of traders and people is like a city making trouble, and the lights are panicked, and after a certain period of time, they suddenly disappear and return to their original state. This phenomenon is called the ghost market, and it is said that the ghosts of the underground return to the yang world, reminiscing about the life of the yang, the place where the ghosts are, and the surrounding scenery, will also change to the appearance of the past.

If a living person accidentally bumps into a ghost market, there is no need to be afraid, because they will not harm people, but the only thing to note is that the living are not allowed to enter the ghost market, because if you go in, you may not be able to come out.

However, Zhou Xuanye's reminder was too late, because Han Xu, who was excited, had already rushed down towards the 'castle', ready to save his princess.

Fairy tales are really killing individuals!

I was shocked, because I was relatively close to Han Xu, I subconsciously hurried to drag him. But what we are in now is a sand dune, I dragged it, Han Xu didn't pull it, but he fell and rolled down the sand dune.

"Tiangu!" Zhou Xuanye shouted. Immediately after, I heard Tan Blade's somewhat angry voice: "Damn, pull them up." "Boss, it turns out that you still care about me. Tan Jian then added: "If I want to die here, I don't count it as a work accident." ”

Well, I'll take that back sentence just now.

Fortunately, the sand dunes were not too steep, and when I was halfway through, I narrowly stopped, and when I looked down, if I went down another twenty meters, I would roll into the ghost market. At this moment, as I walked in, I could see the dark streets of the castle, and there was no one in it, dead silence, and it was gloomy.

I shuddered, and I felt like I was climbing up, and at this time, Han Xu ran over and dragged me: "Zhu Tiangu, does your fall hurt." ”

I said in my heart that if you didn't run around, would I be able to fall? But in the face of Han Xu, I couldn't lose my temper, and when I saw that he was very nervous, I comforted: "It's not painful, hurry, let's go back." Han Xu nodded, and although he looked at the 'castle' reluctantly, he still turned around and walked back.
