"Thank you." Qiu Hu and Ye Feihong took the ice pack and rushed to Zuo Dengfeng to thank him.

Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand at the two of them, his Xuanyin True Qi relied on aura, and there was also aura in the desert, as long as the aura was endless, Xuanyin True Qi would not be exhausted.

After an afternoon of rest, in the evening, everyone packed up and set off, Qiu Hu and Ye Feihong pointed out the direction to Zuo Dengfeng, so as not to deviate from the route, just when everyone was packing up and ready to leave, Qiu Hu and Ye Feihong frowned.

"There's going to be a storm tonight, so it's best not to go." Ye Feihong looked at the sunset and shook his head and said.

"When." Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's hard to say, the color of the clouds is wrong." Ye Feihong shook his head again.

"Let's go, we'll talk about it when the wind blows." Zuo Dengfeng led the camel forward.

Ye Feihong and Qiu Hu saw that he had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more, and the current location of everyone was not a safe area, and there was nowhere to hide when the gale really came.

"What did you do with strong winds before?" Zuo Dengfeng turned around and asked.

"Circle the caravan and hide in the middle." Ye Feihong replied.

"Today's clouds are frighteningly red, and I'm afraid there will be strong winds." Qiu Hu added that he was old and his surname was relatively calm.

"With me here, you don't have to worry." Zuo Dengfeng glanced at the two calmly, and then led the camel forward.

The two didn't know what Zuo Dengfeng's countermeasures were, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so they were just nervous and nervous.

Ye Feihong and Qiu Hu's judgment was correct, before the time came, the wind was coming, the wind was fierce, and the sand was striking.

The size and solidity of this protective layer are determined by the level of cultivation of the people in the cultivators, and the Zuo Dengfeng is currently the peak of the purple qi of three points of yin and yang, and the invisible purple qi barrier can protect a large area, and the camel team and everyone are not affected by the external wind and sand in the barrier that is like a dome.

At this time, the four of them were secretly horrified in their hearts, Ye Feihong and Qiu Hu were surprised by Zuo Dengfeng's superhuman cultivation, and Zuo Dengfeng and Tie Shoes were amazed by the huge power of the desert storm, a sand dune several zhang high would be removed and flattened by the strong wind in a few moments, and the sand and gravel piled up outside the purple gas barrier became more and more, and the purple qi barrier was completely covered in less than half an hour, and the outside scene could not be seen, only the whistling wind could be heard

Ye Feihong was surprised and praised Zuo Dengfeng's spells and cultivation, Zuo Dengfeng knew what she wanted to do next, so she didn't have an interface, but the iron shoes felt slightly angry, muttering that the purple qi barrier was far inferior to their Buddhist Vajra body protection skills, Ye Feihong immediately rushed to him when he heard it, and wanted to worship him as a teacher, but the iron shoes naturally refused, a man and a woman, an old and a young, chattering, and the noisy Zuo Dengfeng was annoyed.

The stronger the wind, the shorter the duration, and after an hour, the strong wind stopped, and Zuo Dengfeng shook the sand outside the barrier, and found that the original sand dunes around him were gone, and new sand dunes were piled up again, and the path that Ye Feihong pointed to before was nowhere to be found.

Zuo Dengfeng and Iron Shoes can have night vision, but Ye Feihong and Qiu Hu cannot, without them to show the way, Zuo Dengfeng didn't dare to act rashly, so he had no choice but to wait for dawn.

After dawn, Qiu Hu drove the camel caravan on the road, at noon when the weather was hot, he found a place to enjoy the cool, rushed in the early morning and evening, and pointed out the path by the two at night, Zuo Dengfeng took the camel team to march overnight, and so on, after five days, everyone came to an abandoned city in the depths of the desert, the size of this city was similar to the size of the previous town, the city wall was made of mud rammed block, the location of the city was very sheltered, the wind and sand piled up less, and the city wall may have added some kind of adhesive material at the beginning of construction, so that it has survived the wind and frost and survived to this day, There are a handful of ruins in the city, and its style is in the style of both Middle-earth and the region, suggesting that it was probably inhabited by the inhabitants of Lop Nur rather than the imperial garrison.

"Eighty miles to the north is the Dead Woods." Ye Feihong stretched out his hand and pointed north.

"You're sure." Zuo Dengfeng asked.

"Sure, there are two more similar cities around, but only this ancient city has a well, so you can't be wrong." Ye Feihong pointed to the well not far away, where Qiu Hu was drinking camels next to the well.

"Settle down from here, don't wander around, and we'll go to the Dead Woods tonight." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and said, the main role of the camel team is the supply station, and there is no need to take the camel team to the dead forest.

"You haven't had a good rest these days, so let's go after dawn tomorrow." Ye Feihong said that night had fallen at this time.

"Amitabha, there is no difference between the night and the white night to us." Iron Shoes interjected.

"The dead forest is full of dead poplar trees, and the area is very large, and no one knows how big it is, because no one has ever entered it." Ye Feihong glanced at the iron shoes.

"Are the poplar trees in that area lodging or erected?" Zuo Dengfeng asked questions, and the locals said that the poplar tree could not die for a thousand years, not fall for a thousand years after death, and not rot for a thousand years after falling, so Zuo Dengfeng wanted to judge the death time of the poplar tree in that area.

"Standing, sparsely spaced." Ye Feihong thought for a while and said.

Zuo Dengfeng frowned when he heard this, Lop Nur was a grassland with abundant water and grass and dense lakes, and the time when desertification appeared was in the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, and it was almost in the hinterland of the desert here, it stands to reason that the time of the death of the poplar tree should have been two thousand years, and the dead tree two thousand years ago should have fallen a long time ago, why could it still stand.

"You just said that there are some ancient cities similar to this one around here, and you can draw me the general direction of those ancient cities." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and took out a pen and paper from his bosom and handed it to Ye Feiyang, the ancient city would not be built casually, at least to meet the two conditions of shelter from the wind and water, the previous residents of Lop Nur lived by fishing and planting, through the analysis of the distribution of their cities, we can roughly guess the topography of this place back then.

Ye Feihong took the pen and paper, quickly drew a few cities, and then called Qiu Hu, and the two jointly determined the location.

The map drawn by Ye Feihong is very simple, there are a total of three ancient city ruins in this area, and the location is irregular, but Zuo Dengfeng took it and immediately found that the location of these three ancient cities is the same as the technique of Qimen Dunjia, but Qimen Dunjia itself is used for prediction, not a formation, and the three cities here are similar to Qimen Dunjia and useless, and the only reasonable explanation is that the distribution of the cities here is not Qimen Dunjia, but the twelve lonely formations with the same principle as Qimen Dunjia.

If this reasoning is true, the distribution of the city here may involve Jiang Ziya, which is not surprising to Zuo Dengfeng, because both the Peng State and the Qiang State are relatively close to the Zhou Dynasty, and they have their own branches, Jiang Ziya is naturally familiar with them, but Jiang Ziya instructed the people here to build the city into the Twelve Lonely Void Law for what motive is not yet known.

"Don't you have a big map, take it out and compare it to see if that forest to the north is the nest of the giant snake." When Zuo Dengfeng was stunned with the map drawn by Ye Feihong, the iron shoes came over.

Zuo Dengfeng reached out and touched his left chest, and only after touching it did he remember that the map had been taken away by Yufu, and when the two of them were discussing how to get rid of the residents in the downtown in the small town south of Xi'an, Yufu took his map away and did not return it to him.

Zuo Dengfeng didn't think much about it at first, but when he thought that Yufu had been gone for more than twenty days without moving, he felt that something was wrong.

"Master, you go back with Qiu Hu immediately, release the green worm after leaving the desert, and follow the green worm to find Cui Jinyu." Zuo Dengfeng quickly took out the bamboo tube containing the green worm from his bosom and handed it to the iron shoes.

"Ah, what do you mean?" Iron Shoes looked sideways at Zuo Dengfeng, he had walked in the desert for six or seven days before he got here, and his ass was not hot yet, how could he go back.

"Cui Jinyu took my map to find the six Yang Territorial Branches, she, Wang Zhenren, and Du Zhenren together are not necessarily the opponents of the three ninjas, you hurry up and help them." Zuo Dengfeng said quickly, Yufu had mentioned the golden needle and silver crown and his friendship to him when he was leaving, he didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Yufu is very likely to invite them to help find the six Yang Branches, the purpose is naturally to prolong his life that is about to be exhausted.

"Amitabha, the old man won't be fooled by you." The iron shoes were put together and sang the Buddha, and he said with a smile, he had pretended to be poisoned and coaxed Zuo Dengfeng to run away to Hunan, he thought that Zuo Dengfeng was going to toss him in the same way.

"I'm not kidding you, you go out and help them." Left to climb the peak of the positive color opening.

"When did she take your map?" Iron Shoes asked with a smile.

"When I was in Xi'an, we lived in the front yard and Cui Jinyu lived in the backyard." Zuo Dengfeng said.

"The yard where the boss gnawed on the pillars of the collapsed house." The iron shoes thief said that he didn't admit to himself, and finally admitted how the house collapsed.

"Yes, when she left, she also asked me about my relationship with Wang Zhenren and Du Zhenren, she didn't go back to pay tribute to her relatives at all, nor did she participate in any ceremony for the birthday of the patriarch, she was looking for the Yang Territorial Branch, you go out quickly, leave now." Zuo Dengfeng urged eagerly, he always thought that he was very careful, but now it seems that he is not careful enough, Yufu's words and deeds before were not normal, at that time he thought that Yufu went back to relax because of his lack of cultivation and felt uncomfortable, but now that he thinks about it, it is not like that at all.

"Amitabha, don't fool me." Seeing Zuo Dengfeng's anxious expression, Tie Shoe believed him.

"I didn't lie to you, you can go quickly." Zuo Dengfeng stuffed the bamboo tube into the hand of the iron shoe.

"No, if something happens to Cui Jinyu, you will definitely run to save her, and if you don't go, it means that she is fine." The iron shoes looked like they had seen through Zuo Dengfeng's annihilation plan.

"She didn't release the green worms, which means that she is not in danger for the time being, if she encounters danger, it will really be too late, those three ninjas are very powerful, Cui Jinyu If they want to fight the idea of the Yang Territorial Branch, they will definitely have a conflict with them, you go out quickly, don't rub it in." Zuo Dengfeng anxiously urged.

"I've come all the way, can you let me go and see what that fiery snake looks like?" Iron Shoes stretches out his hand and points north.

"Master, I beg you, you can go quickly." Zuo Dengfeng turned to look at Qiu Hu, "Take five camels and go back with the master." ”

The iron shoes did not know the priorities, and hesitated for a moment to put the bamboo tube into his arms.

Soon Qiu Hu drank the camel well, and the iron shoes led the reins to the east, Zuo Dengfeng kept watching him leave, and his heart was anxious, Yufu They must not have an accident, otherwise he will never be at peace.

Just when Zuo Dengfeng was frowning and anxious, the iron shoes ran back with Qiu Hu again, and without waiting for Zuo Dengfeng to speak, he put down Qiu Hu, grabbed Ye Feihong, who was drinking water, and turned away.

"Master, what are you doing here?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.

"This guy is interesting to you, I don't feel at ease to stay by your side, the lame man gives you ......"
