At this time, it was already night, Zuo Dengfeng carried the wooden box and swept north with thirteen, the location of the fourth ancient city is located in the north of here, although the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia are not regular circles, but they are also around the three-ring formation, but the distance is far and near,

No matter what the formation, to be effective, you must achieve the balance of yin and yang, if this balance is one hundred, the principle of the five elements of the formation is five twenty, of course, these five twenty should be increased or decreased according to the surrounding terrain and the formation to achieve the purpose, but no matter how it is increased or decreased, it must be one hundred in the end, not a hundred formations will not work, the same is true of the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia, and it must reach one hundred in the end, Zuo Dengfeng currently knows three locations, and it is not difficult to reason about the fourth place, But it can't be calculated so accurately, and we can only roughly judge the area one hundred and sixty miles north of here.

Zuo Dengfeng's heart was not easy when he swept north, he had enough sense of distress, and he was never stupidly eager to do things when he encountered them, and some things could always take the initiative if he thought about them well in advance, what he was thinking about at the moment was that there were clearly eight ancient cities around the three-ring formation, why only three had been discovered in the past two thousand years, and why the remaining five had never been discovered,

There are two possibilities in this situation, one is that they are completely buried by the yellow sand, and the other is that there is a potential danger on the road leading to the ancient city on the north side, and ordinary people cannot set foot in it, these two possibilities Zuo Dengfeng prefers to be the latter, because what is very dangerous to ordinary people is nothing to him, if the ancient city is completely buried by yellow sand, then it is difficult for him to find the ancient city below in the many sand dunes,

Skimming in the desert is a very painful thing, the sand in some places is very soft, if you use too much force when stepping down, your feet will sink into the sand, and you can't even sweep out ten meters in the air again, and the sand is relatively strong in some places, but he didn't know this in advance, and he still used a very light force when he stepped down, so he wasted this relatively strong footing point, which could have swept out two miles, only swept out a few dozen meters, this feeling is very bad, and Zuo Dengfeng has been feeling very awkward when skimming, Later, he thought of a way, landed with both feet, increased the force area, so that he jumped forward, but he didn't jump far before he encountered a trap, as soon as he landed directly to the waist, his arms stretched out the aura and pulled himself out, Zuo Dengfeng no longer dared to mess around, the danger in the desert is everywhere, and it must not be taken lightly,

After walking for fifty miles, when I landed on the hard ground, I stepped on more and more hard ground, and gradually there were traces of plants in front of me, this plant is called camel thorn, which is a common plant on the Gobi Desert, and the appearance of this plant in the desert indicates that there is a water source nearby.

Seventy miles later, the sandy land turned into the Gobi, drought-tolerant plants more and more, Zuo climbed the peak and looked into the distance, and found that trees and shrubs appeared in front, these signs indicate that there is not only a water source in front, but also a relatively large desert oasis.

Where there is a water source, there are animals gathering, after discovering the oasis, Zuo Dengfeng did not rush to approach, this oasis is very large, under normal circumstances, a desert guide like Ye Feihong should know the existence of this oasis, but before this, neither the lame Qiu Hu nor Ye Feihong had mentioned this oasis, they did not mention it to mean that they did not know, but this oasis is not far from the third ancient city, it should never be discovered, the only possibility is that the person who discovered the oasis was not able to spread the news,

Under normal circumstances, whether it is an expedition or a caravan, if they find an oasis in the desert, they will go in to rest and replenish their water, maybe they will not be able to come out again after entering the oasis, which may be the reason why they have not been able to spread the news.

Zuo Dengfeng stopped and listened to his ears, he heard the howl of the wolf coming from the oasis, the cry was very low, it was not a wolf howl, the wolf would only let out a wolf howl when it summoned its companions or was in heat, and it would not howl at the throat when it was in an attack state, and the cry from the oasis should be the demonstration of the wolves before the attack,

Being careful is a habit that Zuo Dengfeng has developed for a long time, but his strong strength also invisibly makes him extremely confident, this is what is commonly known as the daring of the artist, after a short stay, Zuo Dengfeng took the thirteen to the front, what he is thinking at the moment is that it doesn't matter what you are, in short, it is not my opponent,

Water is the source of life, in the desert water is used to the extreme, by the water source is closer to the place where the trees are very tall, and far away from the water source can only grow some drought-tolerant shrubs and weeds, the scope of this oasis is not too large and not small, larger than the border town, the east and west are very long, there are more than 20 miles, the north and south are narrower, less than ten miles, the shape of the oasis is determined by the central water source, just look at the shape of the oasis can know that the water source in the oasis is also long from east to west and narrow from north to south,

Zuo Dengfeng walked into the oasis, walking will definitely increase the danger, but walking has the benefit of walking, walking can observe things on the ground more clearly, not far Zuo Dengfeng found the bones of camels under the grass, the bones of camels appeared in pieces, and there were ropes connecting camels on the ground, which showed that these camels were camels of the camel team,

The flesh on the bones of the camels has been devoured by the wolves, and according to the degree of albinism of the bones of the camels, the camels died within a few years.

A short distance away, a large number of utensils appeared on the ground, these utensils were of all kinds, mostly porcelain and cloth, but also gold, silver, jade, and medicinal tea, because the bags in which they were stored had decayed, and all kinds of utensils were scattered around the bushes.

Although it is late autumn, there are still snakes, insects, rats and ants in the oasis, which is very sheltered from the wind and the temperature is high, which delays the hibernation time of the animals.

In addition to the scattered various utensils, there are also a large number of white bones piled up in the forest and grass, these white bones are human and other animals, some have decayed, and some are relatively complete, and there are also swords and other weapons in the pile of bones, among which there is a rifle that has only appeared in recent years, Zuo Dengfeng extended his aura to grab the rifle, and after pulling the bolt, he found that there were bullets in the chamber,

At this moment, a wild wolf's cry came from the northeast of the oasis, and the wolf's cry when it was injured was similar to the bark of a dog being kicked by someone, and this cry indicated that a wolf was injured.

"Interesting, let's go, let's see." Zuo Dengfeng beckoned to the thirteen who looked eastward, and then stepped on the ground and swept towards the northeast, and there were wolves injured indicating that there were more powerful animals than wolves here.

There is a lake in the oasis, a little smaller than the lake in the three-ring formation, the lake is surrounded by thick poplar trees, after sweeping to the northeast of the lake, Zuo Dengfeng saw the wolves, the number of wolves in this group is not much, only a dozen, but the size of these wolves is much larger than ordinary wolves, not much smaller than leopards, the body hair is dark red, two canine teeth probe three inches down, such sharp and sharp canine teeth if you bite the camel, you can directly tear open the camel's throat,

Although these giant wolves were huge, Zuo Dengfeng was not surprised, what surprised him was that the opponent of this group of wolves turned out to be a person,

The wolves were gathered around a huge poplar tree, and on the branch of the poplar tree, two feet above the ground, sat a young man with a bow and arrow, about fourteen or fifteen years old, not tall, with a bun on his head, a bow in his hand, a quiver behind him, and a long knife pinned to his waist.

This young man is wearing a homespun cloth, this set of clothes he wears on his body looks very big and loose, presumably not his own clothes, the young man is shooting at the wolves under the tree at this time, he pulls the string and opens the bow is very stance, but the strength is lacking, the speed of the arrow is not fast enough, the wolves under the tree can dodge in time,

The poplar tree where the boy is located and several other poplar trees have very thick strips of cloth across the connection, these strips of cloth should be the cloth left by the caravan in recent years, the boy was tied between several large trees to facilitate his movement, on the branch of one of the poplar trees built a shack, the shack is not big, the construction is also very poor, at first glance it looks like a big bird's nest, the branches around the shack hang some snakes, frogs and fish, this may be the winter food he has stored for himself,

The young man didn't know that Zuo Dengfeng and Thirteen were looking at him not far away, and he still took care of himself to draw his bow to shoot the wolves under the tree, occasionally shooting at the target, but he couldn't do much damage to those giant wolves, he could only make them roar in pain, and he couldn't hurt his surname.

When the giant wolf is angry, it will also jump up and scratch the boy sitting on the branch, these giant wolves can jump about a foot high, more than twice as high as an ordinary wolf, but the branch where the boy is sitting is located two feet above the ground, they can't reach it at all.

Zuo Dengfeng stood ten feet away from the young man, thirteen squatted on the treetop on his right and looked at the giant wolves below, although he was eager to try, he didn't go down to attack, since he was reprimanded by Zuo Dengfeng last time, it no longer dared to act privately,

Zuo Dengfeng saw things as usual in the night, he could clearly see the appearance of the young man, this young man was very quiet, and he was also very thin, and the thinness may be related to the food he ate, after all, these foods are not nutritious,

Zuo Dengfeng's heart was full of doubts at this time, first, although this young man lived here alone, he was not sloppy, his face was very clean, and the clothes on his body were also very clean, this alone can show that this person has received a good education, and if he is an ordinary person, he will definitely not spend time and effort to wash his face and clothes when he falls to this point.

The second is the identity of this young man, according to his clothes and the gap gnawed out by the giant wolf under the poplar tree, this young man has been here for a long time, but the camel team will not take children into the desert, it is too difficult to make a living in the desert, adults are stunned, how can they take children into the desert,

Thirdly, there were still bullets in the rifle he had seen earlier, and there were several similar rifles in the Oasis, so why didn't this young man kill these wolves with a rifle, but blindly shoot them with arrows,

The last and most important point is that the bun on the head of this young man is aligned left and right, located in the back two fingers of the Baihui acupoint, very regular, almost no messy hair, this hairstyle is not the same as the Taoist monk's bun, the Taoist monk's bun is located in the middle of the Baihui acupoint, in order to wear the Taoist crown,

Since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, men have been combing their braids instead of pulling their hair, so why can this teenager still pull out a hairstyle that has been extinct three hundred years ago......
