After reading it several times, I found that the Prophet's body did not contain any suggestive symbols, pictures, or words. The fat man was impatient, and he touched the bones of the Prophet, but there was still nothing.

The Prophet's remains were seated, cross-legged, with one hand resting on the stone box and the other flat on his knees, without even a gesture of instruction, and nothing but a cloak of decayed powder and a sheepskin.

I searched around again to see if there were any hidden passages or anything like that, but this tomb was dug out of the stone mountain, the walls were full of stubborn stones, and there were some small cracks in some places, and I could feel a cool breeze when I reached out and tried it, and it seemed that this tomb was not far from the top of the mountain. But without explosives and tools, it is even more difficult to find an escape path through the rocks than to climb to the sky.

The only entrance to this tomb is the crack where we entered, there used to be a stone door, when we came in, in order to avoid the countless rubble that fell, the tomb road outside did not look carefully at all, the rupture in the mountain, so that the gap where we escaped and the tomb road were connected together, but this road has been blocked by rubble, and it is impossible to go back to find the tomb to go out.

The three of them were so anxious that they were in a hurry, and suddenly there was a shaking under their feet, and they only heard a slight cracking sound coming from the mountain, the sound became louder and louder, and the shaking of the ground also intensified, it seems that the internal tension of the mountain was transmitted by the explosion, and after the first two cracks that were larger than the previous one, the pressure continued to accumulate, and the third crack would occur immediately, could it be that the revelation of the prophet corresponded here?

There was a strong shaking, and there were three large cracks in the tomb, one on the ground, and the other two on the left and right, just on both sides of the tomb, which could accommodate people to pass through the guò.

The fat man scolded: "Fuck, choose one of the three, this kid prophet plays with us, let's go alone, it's better to go out than to be buried in this mountain." ”

Shirley Young pointed to the Prophet's bones and said, "The Prophet has shown us the way!" Her voice trembled, and she couldn't contain the excitement in her heart.

The fat man and I looked down and saw that the crate had been half-sunk by a large crack in the ground, and the Prophet's bones were crooked aside, and the fingers of our right hand were pointing to the large crack on the left side of the tomb.

We quickly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking the prophets for their blessings. At this time, the rubble falling from the top of the tomb became larger and larger, and the rumbling sound was incessant, and the tomb could no longer stand on its foot.

I asked the fat man to carry Professor Chen, and Shirley Yang and I carried Ye Yixin and got into it through the crack on the left side of the tomb wall, and before I could take a few steps, a burst of white light dazzled and flowers, and a long-lost sky appeared on my head.

It is only a few meters away from the top of the mountain, but the mountain shook very violently, and the mountain rocks appeared one after another, and the feet were full of gravel, and it was very difficult to land one step at a time.

The fat man squatted down, and Shirley Yang stepped on his shoulders and climbed up first, and then got Professor Chen up according to the gourd scoop.

I asked the fat man to go up first, and then threw down a rope so that Ye Yixin's body could be pulled up, and I couldn't just bury her in the mountains forever. The fat man had a hard time getting up, so I supported it at the bottom, and Shirley Yang dragged it on top, and it took a lot of effort to climb up.

At this time, there was a loud bang on the stone wall behind me, which startled me, and I looked back and saw that the mountain behind me was collapsing backwards, and the entire Zagrama Mountain was split into two halves, and the huge arc top wall on the ghost cave could not bear it, and it was constantly collapsing, and the stone beam where the queen's coffin was placed, together with the corpse incense konjac, as well as countless treasures and giant pupil stone statues, were smashed into the bottomless ghost hole. Streams of black water are flowing out of the ghost cave, and the things that fall into it are immediately submerged by the black water, the black mountain, the pitch-black cave, and the earth behind him is like the devil opening the big mouth of the black hole, which is devouring a qiē in the belly of the mountain.

The power of the landslide was dizzying, I grabbed the stone wall with one hand, and hugged Ye Yixin's body with the other, not daring to move slightly, lest I also fall into the ghost cave with the collapsed mountain behind me.

The fat man shouted anxiously from above: "Old Hu climb up quickly, don't care about that little girl's corpse, now I can't care about the dead!" ”

I wanted to take Ye Yixin's body out, but at this time, the left hand holding Ye Yixin was already sore and numb, it seemed that if I didn't let go, I would have to fall with Ye Yixin, so I had to let go of my arm, but I didn't think that Ye Yixin's arm was hanging on my portable bag, and Ye Yixin's weight of dozens of catties fell down, and the carrying bag was hung up, and the prophet's sheepskin apocalypse rolled and fell down the mountain with Ye Yixin's body.

I watched the parchment fall to the bottom of the hill and was chalanked that the prophet's prophecy was clear that when the parchment landed, there would be a sandstorm that would engulf the Zagrama. I'm really afraid of something.

At this point, I had to resign myself to fate, I climbed to the top of the mountain with my hands and feet, and suddenly heard a complaining female voice crying in my ear, this voice seemed to be Ye Yixin's little girl. My body suddenly sank, and it seemed as if a force was pulling me down, trying to pull me down the mountain.

My hairs stood on end, and the desert sun had already sunk half into the western horizon, and I was in the shadow of the mountains, surrounded by black stones, and it was as if I had touched the gates of hell.

I struggled to climb to the top of the mountain, but the rocks under my feet had collapsed, and I could only hold on to the mountain with the strength of my hands, and I couldn't look back, but even if I could, I didn't want to look, and I was afraid that if I couldn't grasp it firmly, I would have to fall into the ghost hole below.

I tried my best not to listen to the cry, but the crying in my ears became more and more poignant, piercing people's hearts one after another, and my heart was sour when I heard it, and my body became heavier and heavier, and I couldn't help but want to let go.

The fat man and Shirley Yang saw that I was groggy at the top of the mountain, and wanted to reach out and pull me up, but they couldn't reach it a little farther, and saw that the crack in the mountain was expanding, and the whole mountain would collapse in a blink of an eye, and there was no rope at hand, so they had to untie their belts and hang down.

I was greeted by the two people above, like a bucket of cold water was poured on dog days, my whole body was shaken, I woke up, the cry in my ears disappeared, and the pulling force behind me disappeared, I didn't dare to stay longer at the moment, grabbed the fat man's belt, and climbed to the top of the mountain.

The sunset in the desert had become blurred, and a breeze with fine sand blew by, and an ominous shadow hung over the heavens and the earth, which the old man had said before was a sign of the coming black sandstorm, and the prophet's prophecy of the end of Zagrama had finally come.

The fat man and I set up Professor Chen, the old man was no longer responsive at this time, like a puppet at the mercy of others, you pull him, he will follow you, I don't know if I am tired, but I can't stop, as soon as he stops, he sits on the ground and can't pull it up.

I could only drag and drag and run down the mountain, and the mountain close to the Exquisite Ancient City had completely collapsed, and the huge mountain that was half hollow was just on top of the ghost cave, blocking the entrance of the cave forever. On this side of our descent was the entrance to the valley of Zagrama, and we had hoped that after coming down, we would cross the valley to join Anliman's caravan. The sandstorm has already begun, and without camels, you can't get out on the eleventh alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he heard the sound of hooves in the valley, and the old man of An Liman looked panicked, shouting loudly, driving the camels out.

The fat man scolded: "Old man, your oath is a fart!" ”

An Liman did not expect that we would appear at the entrance of the valley, and hurriedly said: "Praise Allah, it seems that what we met here is another arrangement by Hu Da." ”

We didn't bother to talk to him more, so we carried Professor Chen onto the camel and found one to climb on, and An Liman chased after him and asked where the rest of the people were.

I said, "Don't mention it, it's all gone." Now is not the time to say this, if you can avoid the big sandstorm, you can quickly lead everyone to run over there. ”

The sky was completely dark, and this time it was a whirlwind, and the eye of the wind seemed to be a ghost hole in the mountain, and the wind was gradually strengthening, and the face was sore from the sand. The old man of An Liman didn't expect this big sandstorm to come so quickly, and there was no sign before, except for the ruins of Zagrama and the exquisite ancient city, there is a vast desert, where is there a place to hide. But since it is a whirlwind, the farther away from the eye of the storm, the safer it is, just identify the direction and keep running, whether you can escape or not, it depends on the mood of Hu Da and his old man.

The old man gave a long whistle, rode a camel to lead the way, and fled west with the camel caravan.

At first, I heard a strange sound behind me, like a ghost crying wolf, and like the waves of the sea, and in an instant the wind was fierce, and the strong wind carrying the sand and dust was overwhelming, and the sky was dark, and the visibility was extremely low, although I covered my mouth with a turban, I still felt that there were countless sand and stones poured into my ears and nose.

After running a long distance, the camels gradually stopped listening to the command, and Anliman stopped the camel caravan, and by this time he could not hear what anyone said, and he made a few gestures to gather the frightened camels in a circle.

I think he may mean that if he runs any longer, the camel team will run away, and once the team disperses, then no one can survive, so now they have to build a sand wall on the spot, and people hide among the camels, and all that remains is to pray to Hu Da.

I nodded to him, understood, and asked Shirley Yang to wrap Professor Chen in a blanket and shelter from the sandstorm.

The fat man and I shoveled the sand desperately, and the old man came to help after placing the camels, built a simple sand wall around the camels, and then blindfolded the camels with blankets to prevent them from fleeing in fright, and everyone wrapped themselves in blankets and surrounded them.

Fortunately, it has left the eye of the storm, and the wind and sand on the edge of the sandstorm are already so strong that they may tear people to pieces in the center of the eye of the storm.

Anliman's camels are more experienced, and when they are gathered together, they will no longer panic, and when they are partially buried by the sand, they will shake their bodies and move a little upward, so that they will not be completely buried by the sand.

It wasn't until the next morning that the wind and sand gradually subsided. We kept digging the sand wall all night, and we were already exhausted, and when we saw that the sandstorm had passed, we dared to stand up and look out, surrounded by undulating sand dunes like waves, and the yellow sand was blown out by the wind to solidify ripples.

The exquisite ancient city, the black Zagrama Sacred Mountain, the queen's coffin, the corpse incense konjac, the tombs of prophets and saints, together with the countless secrets of ancient times, as well as Hao Aiguo, Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng, are all buried in the depths of the yellow sand forever.

Professor Chan also poked his head out of the blanket and looked at the sky and smirked, and Shirley Yang went over to wipe the sand off Professor Chan's head. An Liman knelt on the ground and prayed, thanking Hu Da for his kindness. The fat man rummaged through all his bags for water, and in the end he found nothing, and he threw his hands at me and made a helpless expression.

I shook my head helplessly, and I didn't think about the water at all, and I had crossed the safe return point seven days ago, and now I wanted to go back, which was not easy. The passage to the Zduyan River was also completely buried, and it was impossible for us to dig it up, and there was not a drop of water, and I was afraid that we would not be able to hold out for a day in the desert, and it was not a way to drink salty sand water and camel blood, and when I thought of the tragic situation of dying of thirst in the desert, I felt that it was better to die in a ghost cave.

There is no water in the desert, it is like a living person has been drained of blood, and everyone is at a loss, sitting in a daze.

Suddenly, I heard An Liman's "whoosh" shout: "Hu Da's messenger! "I saw a white shadow on the sandy slope not far from us, I thought I was thirsty and hungry, and my eyes were spent, so I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked carefully.

It turned out to be the white camel we had seen before we came to West Night City, and it was leisurely walking on the sand dunes, slowly heading towards it

The West goes.

The old man was so excited that he couldn't say anything, and the white camel appeared in the cursed black desert, which showed that the ancient curse had disappeared, and Hu Da had reclaimed this desert, and with Hu Da's messenger, he would definitely be able to find water.

I don't know if what he said is true or not, last time I said that the traveler who went into the desert saw the white camel, and he would have a safe and auspicious journey, and now he said that the curse in the desert has disappeared, but at this time it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing, and that following the white camel may really be able to find water.

Hurry up and pack the whole herd of camels and follow behind the white camels. The tall white camel walked unhurriedly under the scorching sun, walked straight for three or four hours, turned a long sand beam, and sure enough, a very small puddle appeared.

There are some sea buckthorns growing around the puddle, the water is not very clear, it may contain a small amount of minerals, and animals can drink it directly, but people cannot drink it directly.

The camels couldn't wait to drink the water, so Shirley Young found some disinfectant tablets, first put the water into a filter and filtered it, and then added the disinfectant tablets before distributing them to everyone to drink.

This puddle may be a tributary of the Ziduyan River, and due to the movement of the desert at night, the water of the river closer to the surface seeps out partially.

A fire was made by the puddle and a few naan were roasted and eaten. I didn't tell them that when I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, there seemed to be someone pulling on my back, this thing seemed to be real and illusory, and I couldn't tell the truth from the fake when he tossed his mother's corpse incense konjac. Not to mention the last thing, including the entire experience in the Exquisite Ancient City and the Ghost Cave, there is no obvious boundary between the real and the unreal.

When I talked to the fat man about what happened in Zagrama Mountain, it was like a breathless nightmare, and the fat man said, "This dog's tail flower is really amazing, maybe we haven't entered the exquisite ancient city at all, this qiē is all an illusion created by that ghost flower." ”

Shirley Yang, who had never spoken much, interjected: "No, now that we are out of danger and think about it carefully, the characteristics of the corpse incense konjac illusion are still obvious, it can only use the memories that have been stored in our minds, but it can't create things that we have never seen." The Queen's coffin, the ghost cave, the prophet's burial chamber, the prophecy, these are all true. We have also seen the black snake before, the prophecy stone painting that lured us to kill each other, the one on the first layer of the stone box is real, because we have seen the prophecy of the first layer, so the corpse incense konjac can create an illusion on the second layer of the stone box. ”

I said to Shirley Young, "It's really a hero's vision, and I think so too, but I'm not sure, so I haven't said it." Shall we discuss how to get out of the desert now? ”

Shirley Yang said: "This is going to bother Grandpa Anliman, he is a living map in the desert, we might as well listen to his opinion first." ”

An Liman saw that the boss spoke, so he drew a few times on the sand with his hand, this piece is our approximate location now, to the south is the ruins of Niya, the distance is very far, all desert, we can not necessarily go to Niya if we replenish enough water; To the east is Lop Nur, in the middle is the desert, and on the other side is the boundless Gobi Desert; To the north is the direction we came from, that is, the direction of West Night City, but we go deep into the heart of the desert, and it is not easy to walk back.

Now it seems that to the southeast, north and south, three directions, are not easy to walk, the only left west, all the way to the west is the Tarim River, the largest inland river in the desert, starting from our current position, if you go fast, it will take about ten days to reach the confluence of the three rivers of the Tarim River, the Yarkand River, and the Hotan River. Once there, it's easy to do, replenish the clear water again, and continue to walk west for six or seven days, and you will not be far from Aksu, where there are troops nearby, and there are oil fields, and you can ask for their help.

We now have enough water to last about ten days, and some food, and water is more important than food in the desert, and we can eat camels if we don't have anything to eat.

It took a full day to filter and store the water in the sand nest little by little, and then set off as planned. On the twelfth day, we finally reached the Tarim River, and then continued westward, and on the third day, we met an oilfield worker who had gone into the desert to hunt yellow sheep, and Professor Chen had only one breath left.

The feeling of escaping death from the depths of the desert step by step is not something that people living in a normal environment can understand. Since then, I've made it a habit to drink water at home, no matter how big the cup is, and always drink a drop in one go.

(Professor Chen's life and death, the true secrets hidden in the bottomless ghost cave, the whereabouts of the Xiansheng tribe, the mystery of Shirley Yang's background, and the new adventures of Hu Bayi and the fat man will continue to unfold magnificently in the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Longling Grotto"...... ）
