"Run, silly boy, stupid eating."

Zhang Ye rushed over and slapped me, and I relieved myself and joined the fleeing army with the eagle behind the palace.

Mu Zhuo had already prepared everything, we rushed over and immediately turned over on the camel, and ran all the way to the wind according to Zhang Ye's instructions.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and we were forced to slow down, so I took the opportunity to look back and see that the black patch behind me was gone, and I don't know if it was washed away by the rain or buried in the ground.

The team finally stopped, I lay on the hump and gasped for breath, my waist pole was about to break, Zhang Ye sat on the camel and looked ahead with a telescope, and suddenly looked back at me, "What does that notebook describe this area?" ”

I immediately remembered the notebook that Jiang Yuan handed me before, and quickly took it out of my backpack and handed it over, Zhang Ye shook his hand, "I can't understand it, you kid translate it and read it to me." ”

Jiang Yuan gave me an umbrella, and I whispered to him while flipping through my notes: "Hey, did this old man target me on purpose?" ”

"You're thinking too much." Jiang Yuan looked at me very calmly and continued: "This notebook was handed over to me by Zhang Yang, and then I handed it over to you. ”

"Transfer? What do you mean?"

Jiang Yuan calmly pointed to the page I opened and said, "That's because of this." ”

As soon as I looked at it, I immediately understood.

Most of the content of this notebook is in Huangquan ciphertext, especially the kind of encrypted military ciphertext, and there are very few people in the world who can understand it. The reason why I was able to crack it was mainly because I was forced to learn by my uncle since I was a child, at first I thought it was just a lost text, and I learned that it could be used as a skill in the future, but then I was exposed to more things, and I gradually understood the subtlety of this kind of writing.

Zhang Ye seemed to be impatient to wait, and shouted loudly: "Stinky boy, okay." ”

I replied loudly, and then asked the grasshopper to hand me a piece of paper and a pen, because in order to crack the encrypted Huangquan ciphertext, it was necessary to straighten it out in a disorderly order, which was a laborious task.

The rain was suffocating, and the sand beneath our feet began to form streams, and the rain was collecting and washing out something.

In the afterglow, I saw that Ying and Zhang Yang had already gotten off the camel, and their master and servant were squatting on the ground as if they were studying something, and on my side, Jiang Yuan and Gnats were waiting with umbrellas and flashlights.

In about ten minutes, more than 30 Huangquan ciphertexts were deciphered by me, and except for a few words that I am not sure about, I have already translated the rest.

"Master Zhang, it says above that the Gulan Post Station is in the Gulan City, and there is a secret passage leading to the royal tomb in the Gulan Post Station, in addition"

"That's enough." Zhang Ye suddenly turned around and ran back in the direction we had before, and I was so anxious that I shouted: "Old man, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Yang and Ying also turned over on the camel and followed all the way, Mu Zhuo was worried that Zhang Yang's body would also follow, their speed was very fast, and they disappeared into the large and small sand dunes in a blink of an eye.

I looked at Jiang Yuan, "What should I do?" ”

The grasshopper took the umbrella and said, "They must have gone to the city of Guran, but now that the rain is not enough, it will be dangerous to go down hastily." ”

Jiang Yuan said: "This rain will be for a long time, the amount of rain is definitely not a problem, the key is whether those things will return there." ”

The gnats frowned, "That's their old nest, but it's also the way we have to go." ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and also accepted the umbrella, "Let's go." ”

I couldn't understand their conversation, and when the two of them were about to catch up, I immediately stopped in front of them, "What, what, what?" I said you don't treat me as your own until now, do you?"

The grasshopper knew me, and he saw that I was a little angry, and immediately explained: "The reason why Gulan City is not recorded in history is because it is a royal city from the underground peoples, and these people from the underground have raised countless Gu insects in the royal city, and we just encountered them. ”

I let out an "oh" and "And then?" ”

Jiang Yuan said: "We have to catch up with them first, what is there to say on the road." ”

I compromised, the three of them marched in the rain, but, I can ride a horse, but I am not very good at riding a camel, just now there is Zhang Ye led the team, this camel knows to follow the organization, there are only three of us left, my camel immediately showed its unorganized and undisciplined side, no matter what I do, it is walking slowly, or it is turning in circles, and it is in a hurry to kneel on the sand and not move.

Jiang Yuan and the gnats were also very anxious, and in the end, the gnats had a way, he lay on the ears of the camel and didn't know what to say, the camel was actually immediately energetic, and the three of them chased after it as fast as possible.

On the way, Jiang Yuan told me that Gulan City was originally an ancient royal city in the Western Regions, but later an accident occurred, and overnight, this royal city, including the people and livestock in the royal city, disappeared out of thin air.

Many years later, the merchants of the Silk Road accidentally saw a corner of the city wall washed out by the rain in a heavy rain, and the Qur'an trade route was also found, and at that time, some people kept seeing ghosts haunting the Qur'an trade road, they were men and women, old and young, and they would walk through the Qur'an trade road in groups in the middle of the night, and then disappear in the location of the city wall ruins.

Since no one had really seen the ancient city, the historian at that time did not record this incident until the fifties of the last century, when an archaeological team passed here, it happened to encounter rare heavy rain and sandstorms, and this ancient city appeared overnight under the dual effect of wind and rain.

At that time, the archaeological expert surnamed Yuan, who led the team, recorded everything he had experienced, and it was in a very rare coded script, and then the archaeological team disappeared inexplicably.

Because this incident was done in secrecy, it was also kept secret from the outside world after the accident, and the year-long search and rescue operation was ultimately fruitless.

Two years later, another archaeological team went to the Silk Road again to investigate, they were also lucky, one night by mistake broke into the city of Gulan, and luckily found the Gulan station, in the station, one of the Tufuzi pretending to be members of the expedition team recognized the special layout of the Gulan station, and also dug up a dried corpse under the sand layer of that place, and next to the dry corpse he saw a notebook.

He used this notebook to continue to record, but unfortunately, the expedition also disappeared into the vast desert.

Until a year ago, a businessman surnamed Wang found Zhang Yang, who was on a business trip in Beijing, and this notebook immediately appeared on Zhang Yang's desk, and at the same time, it also caused countless troubles.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but interject and ask, "The one you gave me?" However, after more than half a century and so many years of burial under the sand, generally speaking, the paper should have rotted long ago. ”

The Grasshopper laughed, "Technology, Boss, didn't you find the paper in this notebook strange?" ”

He touched his backpack and shook his head, "Nothing?" ”

"This is the skill of the craftsman who made this notebook, and we have no way of verifying the process of making the paper and the secret recipe for its preparation, but one thing is for sure, even if this notebook is left underground for a hundred years, it will not rot." ”

Jiang Yuan continued: "Since Zhang Yang obtained this notebook, the organization has begun to monitor and control us, and at the same time, it is also secretly investigating the tomb of General Mengshan and the Guran Trade Road. ”

I somewhat understood, "In other words, your organization knew that Zhang Yang had obtained a notebook, and secretly knew some of the contents recorded in the notebook, and then, they actually concealed your private investigation of the two places involved in the notebook?" ”

The gnats shook their heads and said, "It's not that simple, boss, have you forgotten the memory we lost?" The submarine tomb in the ghost domain of the West Sea is the key to the whole thing. ”

On the one hand, I knew the reason why Zhang Yang and they had to get the Huangquan Staff before the organization, on the other hand, I was also curious, what was in that undersea tomb that would make Jiang Baichuan kill his four love generals, and how did the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice that our Xiao family had treasured for generations be found, it was something that even I didn't know where to hide.
