Chapter 42: The Road to Heaven

We braved the howling cold wind and walked through the desert at night, and the glowing green light in front of us was the direction in which we were heading.

I suddenly had a feeling of weakness, was that band of light real? Or maybe it's just an illusory illusion!

I unconsciously have a lot of ghost fiction scenes in my mind, where will this strange band of light lead us, and what awaits us will be the quicksand that devours all things? Or the giant jaws of ferocious monsters? Or maybe we go all the way to the end and find nothing, and we're lost in the desert of the night!

I suddenly felt that it was a little reckless to go so rashly, I had the heart to stop, but I didn't know why I was reluctant to speak, and there was always a thought in my heart that said to me: Go a little further, and maybe you can see the truth clearly if you go a little further!

In this way, I slowly moved forward in hesitation and contradiction.

There is a saying that Wangshan runs a dead horse. Looking at the green band of light that was not very far away, we had been walking for almost an hour, and the band of light was getting wider and wider in our eyes as we got closer.

At this time, I realized that it originally seemed to us to be just a slender glowing band, but now it seems that it is clearly a glowing road.

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned, how could there be such a road here, who built it? Where does it lead?

"Stop, everybody! Don't go! A voice came out of nowhere.

As soon as we hear the intonation and voice, we know that the speaker is Dawut.

Shi Tao turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Dawuti, do you know this road?" ”

Dawut shook his head, "I've never seen this road, but I've heard a legend that in the desert, there is a road that no one knows where it is, and no one can find it, and it only appears at night when the wind is howling. And at the end of this road is endless treasure! ”

When I heard this, I smiled, "Uncle, according to what you say, you are lucky today!" Step on the ready-made treasure map! ”

"It's not that simple!" Dawut continued, "Legend has it that these treasures are the treasures of the devil, and all those who have embarked on this path have gone and never returned!" ”

"This," Dawuti's words made each of us hesitate a little, if we really walked up, we were indeed a little worried, but if we turned around and left like this, we were really unwilling.

Kong Xue suddenly said: "It's okay, let's just follow the direction of this road, let's only walk next to it, as long as we don't step on it, it's not like walking on it!" ”

Shi Tao listened and nodded, "That's okay, let's take a look at the situation first." ”

We turned our attention to Dawut again, after all, he was the guide. There are some things that are better supported by him.

Dawut thought for a moment, "Okay then! Let's take a look, but if you find out that something is wrong, you must leave immediately! ”

So we walked to the side of the road, and through close observation we found that this road is really very special, this road must have been artificially built, and the road surface has undergone some hardening treatment, and the reason why it can shine is that it is mixed with some special ingredients such as fluorite, so it can emit fluorescent green light at night. Moreover, the sand dunes where the road is located are all fixed dunes, and under the action of the wind, there will be no displacement, so it can be guaranteed that the road will not disappear if it is fixed in this place.

To discover this road, two conditions must be met, the first is at night, because the light is strong during the day, even if you get closer, you can't see the light it emitts, and its surface looks no different from ordinary desert except that it is harder. The second is the strong wind, because this is a desert, and the road will inevitably be covered with a layer of sand, and only when the wind rolls up these sand grains can the road surface be revealed.

I don't know whose handiwork this is, but this way of building is simply too ingenious. This path can be a guide for those who come prepared, and it can also be difficult for unintentional intruders to notice, after all, in windy weather, the chance of someone passing by here can be said to be zero!

We could see that this was definitely a case of a blind cat running into a dead mouse, and if it wasn't for the ghost town by mistake, how could we have braved the wind in the middle of the night in the desert.

We followed the path for a long time, during which Shi Tao asked Dawut what direction the road leads.

Dawut carefully identified it, "It should lead to the depths of the desert, but this place is a little unfamiliar to me, and if I go any further, I'm afraid I won't know it!" ”

I said, "Uncle Dawut, is there any place in this desert that you haven't been to?" ”

"Of course," Dawut snorted, "this desert is big!" We still know too little about it. There are many places that no one has ever set foot in. And most of the people I bring into the desert as a guide are tourists, and places like that are only entered by those who hunt for treasures. ”

"Treasure hunting?" I'm a little puzzled.

Dawut said: "Don't think that this place is desolate, it was once prosperous a long, long time ago, so there are countless ancient cities and monuments buried under this yellow sand, and these people are looking for them. ”

After listening to this, I nodded, thinking that the four people I met Ma Liangping on the edge of Haizi should have gone into the desert to do this kind of thing!

I suddenly wondered where the ancient city where Ma Liangping and the second uncle met, and whether we were traveling in the right direction. Although we had already agreed with Dawut before setting out again, the general route, after experiencing the white-haired wind and the present night march, I concluded that our direction must have deviated from our established route.

And in such a dark night, even Dawut has no way to determine the direction based on experience and the surrounding landscape, so now we are completely like flies without a head.

I turned my head to look at Kong Xue, "Miss, look at Uncle Kong's notebook, if there is a description of the route." ”

Kong Xue nodded, took out the notebook from her bag, and looked at it with a flashlight.

To be honest, we were walking down the side of the road, and there was a slight green glow on the road, which was a bit dreamy, and if it weren't for the wind and sand, it would have been quite amazing.

"There you have it!" Kong Xue, who was reading the notes, said: "I found some related records, here!" As she spoke, Kong Xue read the contents of the note to us: Only by walking on the bright avenue can we cross the heavenly moat and ravine, and finally reach the holy mountain and find the ancient gods.

"Bright Avenue?" We play with the meaning of the sentence in the notebook, "Is this road next to us a bright road?" ”

Wen Mo nodded, "This is the road that should be referring to!" ”

I said: "Then should we go up, according to the note, only by walking on the bright road, can we cross the moat, listen to this meaning, it seems that if we don't take this road, there seems to be an obstacle in front of us!" ”

Dawut waved his hand again and again, "No, no, that's the devil's way, I will never go up!" Otherwise, you will be punished! ”

I smiled, "Uncle, you are formalism, you are walking next to it and walking on it is not the same!" ”

But no matter what we say, Dawut insists that he will not go down that green road. It was inconvenient to force him too much, so we had to embark on that strange road one after another.

Kong Xue rode a camel and walked on this glowing road, feeling very novel, picking up the camera and taking pictures non-stop.

I've also found that actually walking on this path and walking next to it are completely different feelings. When we turn off the flashlight, the glowing green light becomes even more obvious, and with the dark desert, the glowing road winds into the distance, giving people the feeling that the road is suspended in the air and spreads all the way to the sky, which is a wonderful feeling!

Shi Tao opened his mouth to remind Dawut, who was walking on the side of the road, "I said brother, according to what we said in our notes, there seem to be some ravines ahead, you must be careful when you walk below!" ”

Dawut shook his head, "No, no, how can there be a ditch in the desert?" Even if there were, it would have been filled with sand long ago, and it would be fine! ”

But thinking that Dawut has a point, how can there be a ravine in the desert? Could it be that the notes are not written correctly, this is unlikely, the content on the notes comes from the statue of the horse stepping on the snake, and the statue comes from King Wu of Zhou, the king of a country will not be mistaken!

If this is the case, then it can only be said that the terrain of the Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago is different from now, if so, how much of the information passed down by the horse and snake is still correct?

I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard a dawut next to me.

I hurriedly turned on my flashlight and turned my head to look, but I was surprised to find that Dawut, who was still walking next to me riding a camel, was already half shorter at this time. When I looked closely, I realized that more than half of the camel under him had fallen into the sand.

Oops! It's quicksand! The camels kept struggling, but the more they struggled, the faster they fell.

Seeing this, Wenmo hurriedly jumped off the camel, took out the rope and threw it at Dawut, and by this time half of Dawut's leg had sunk into the sand, and the camel was almost completely swallowed by the sand.

We clung to the rope and struggled to pull Dawut out of the quicksand!

Dawut, who escaped death, stared blankly at this piece of quicksand. I thought he was stunned, so I patted him on the shoulder, "Uncle, you see it's better to walk safely, relax, it's okay!" ”

Dawut didn't speak, but muttered to himself with a painful expression: "I hurt you!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the quicksand.

Only then did I realize that Dawut was concerned about the dead camel, and I didn't feel good in my heart, so I couldn't help but shut my mouth and quietly stood aside.
