"What do you say? This treasure doesn't refer to anything valuable, but to water! As soon as Instructor Liu heard the word water, he immediately jumped up from his chair and stared at Chen Ziyang with wide eyes. But then he frowned, and after thinking carefully for a while, Instructor Liu shook his head at Chen Ziyang.

"I can tell you with certainty that there is indeed something in the treasure of this ancient country, although I can't tell you what the treasure is, but the thing in the treasure is definitely not water."

After saying this, Instructor Liu collapsed on the chair again, rubbed his face with both hands, and closed his eyes. In Chen Ziyang's opinion, Instructor Liu has lost the interest in talking to him.

At this time, Chen Ziyang understood why this Instructor Liu had worked hard for more than ten years for the treasure of this ancient country, it seemed that he really wanted to get the things in the treasure, and he also knew what was buried in this treasure. It seems that some of my previous judgments were wrong, but it shouldn't be all wrong.

"Instructor Liu, listen to me carefully. Maybe I got the contents of the treasure wrong, but I think I was right, this diamond can really save everyone's life.

Do you remember when the diamond was showing us the way forward, a small amount of water gushed out of the diamond? I think it's very likely that this diamond will gush out a larger amount of water, and as long as the method used properly can fully activate this diamond, then all of us will be saved. ”

"I've thought about this before, but don't you think you're a little too optimistic? The first time this diamond reacted, it was in the tomb, and you activated the gem with your blood, so the gem projected the approximate location of the ancient kingdom.

The second time the diamond reacts, when we arrive at the desert marked on the map, you drip blood into the gem again. Only this time we have to add the sand in the desert, and under the stimulation of both blood and sand, this gem flows out a small amount of clear water, guiding us in the direction of progress.

According to this calculation, each time the diamond can be activated, it requires certain conditions, such as reaching a certain location, or being exposed to some special medium.

After showing the way forward, we came to the vicinity of here, and I used the astrological mantras recorded on the paper I gave you to determine the location of the ancient kingdom. After knowing the location of this ancient country, the next thing to do is to enter the ancient country and use the gems to open the treasure.

So in this way, the next time the gem can be activated, it must enter the ancient kingdom and use the diamond as the key to unlock the treasure. But now we haven't even found this ancient country, and it is impossible for the diamond to be activated again.

I'm sure you've been idle for the past few days, you've tried all sorts of things, but you didn't find anything, so you're here to ask me for help, I'm right. ”

"You're right, I've tried all sorts of things in the past few days, but this diamond hasn't responded at all. Then I thought carefully about the whole thing, just like you just said, I connected all the things from the time I came into contact with this diamond to the present, and as a result, I have ignored one of the links I have, and this missing link is the reason why we can't find the location of the ancient country. ”

Instructor Liu finally became interested in Chen Ziyang's words, and he hurriedly sat up again, staring at Chen Ziyang carefully. After thinking for a while, Instructor Liu didn't think of which specific link Chen Ziyang was missing, so he made a gesture to Chen Ziyang.

"It is the map projected from the diamond that brings us to this desert, and it is also the water flowing out of the diamond that guides us in the direction of progress, according to your judgment, the final need to use this strange stone to open the treasure of the ancient kingdom is also related to this diamond.

But what about the first step in unlocking the treasure? When you determine the location of the ancient kingdom, you are only using the stars, and you are not using diamonds at all in this step. ”

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, a feeling of enlightenment instantly filled Instructor Liu's whole body, and even Chen Ziyang saw goosebumps on Instructor Liu's body. And from Instructor Liu's shaking fingers, Chen Ziyang could tell that Instructor Liu was very excited, and obviously he also realized that what he said was correct.

"You mean...... By the stars alone...... The missing link? Those astrological statements must match the diamond to find its exact position! No wonder! It's no wonder that when I used the stars to determine the location of the ancient kingdom, I always felt that something was missing.

It is indeed full of loopholes to use those two astrological formulas to judge the location of the ancient kingdom, but I think that the people who recorded these two formulas deliberately wrote obscure and difficult to understand, and the scope of judging by the astrological formulas alone is too large.

Because the terrain here is special, and there are really no other clues, so I made a far-fetched formula. I see, I see, it should be so! ”

After figuring out what Chen Ziyang said, Instructor Liu's eyes lit up and he glared at Chen Ziyang with a hopeful look. "Since you have this problem, then that means that you have found this missing link, and can accurately determine the location of the treasure?"

After saying this, Instructor Liu was stunned, now even if he finds the location of the treasure, what can he do, the things in the treasure are not the water that Chen Ziyang said at all, but other things, so even if they find the location of the ancient country, these people will still die of thirst in this desert.

Instructor Liu has spent more than ten years in search of this treasure, and he has not been able to find the location of the treasure before, so when he heard Chen Ziyang say the key to the whole thing, he couldn't control himself, and he couldn't control his excitement at all, but when he figured out the most important problem he was facing now, Instructor Liu's mood cooled down again.

"It's useless, even if you find the treasure of the ancient country, it's useless, I told you before, the treasure in there is not the water you said at all. Even if you find the treasure now, it won't help.

Even if you find the missing link and can use the diamond again, how can you be sure that water will flow out of the diamond? Moreover, there was so little water flowing out of the diamond before, it was not enough for one person to drink, so what was the use of spending so much effort. ”

Now Chen Ziyang is so anxious that he stomps his feet, this Instructor Liu is now drilling the tip of the horns, it doesn't make sense. Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to tell Instructor Liu about the scene that Lao Lu experienced in the ancient tomb, so that he would know that this diamond could not only bubble up water, but also a large amount of water, and the amount of water that came out of the diamond before was so large that it even submerged the huge underground tomb.

But remembering that he had promised Lao Lu that he would never tell other people what Lao Lu told him, especially Instructor Liu and others who were holding him and Lao Lu, after pursing his lips, Chen Ziyang swallowed these words into his stomach again.

"Hope is better than no hope, it is very likely that in this missing link, the diamond will still flow water, and there may even be a lot of water, if we don't try it, there will really be no way to live at all, and the dead horse will be used as a live horse doctor."

I'm thirsty now, and I don't want to talk to you any more, since you can't tell me what the treasure is, it doesn't matter, what I want to know is everything else you know about this ancient country, don't let go of a single detail, tell me everything, and I'll do the rest myself. ”

"Well, although I've sent a few vehicles in other directions to find water, I guess there's a slim chance they'll find it. And I'm also poor in donkey skills here, and I have nothing to do. Rather than that, let you gamble, after all, you opened the diamond, and the rest can only be done by you. ”

Subsequently, Instructor Liu told Chen Ziyang everything he knew about this ancient country in detail. When Chen Ziyang firmly remembered it, Instructor Liu also told Chen Ziyang his understanding of the two astrology-related verses in the mantra, and even briefly explained some knowledge about astrology to him.

However, the knowledge of astrology is very complicated, and it covers a very wide range, Chen Ziyang can't remember so much at all, and he can't understand it. After getting what he needed, Chen Ziyang nodded to Instructor Liu and said:

"We Taoists believe in fate the most, and this diamond was opened by me, which is my fate with diamonds, and it is my fate with this ancient country. It's not yet time to run the drain, I believe we still have a chance, and I go back to study it carefully, and I think there's still a lot of hope. ”

Instructor Liu showed a very reluctant smile, this smile seemed to Chen Ziyang, there was some contempt in it, it seemed that this Instructor Liu didn't believe what he said at all.

After talking for a long time, Instructor Liu was already thirsty, he took out half a glass of water from the drawer of his desk and held it up to his lips, and drank the water in the cup in small sips. After Chen Ziyang saw Instructor Liu's action of drinking water, he subconsciously pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva.

Then Instructor Liu brought this small glass of water to Chen Ziyang. Such a big temptation was in front of him, but Chen Ziyang held back, he shook his head at Instructor Liu, showed a grateful smile, and turned around and walked outside the carriage.

When he walked to the front of the carriage door, Chen Ziyang stopped, turned his back to Instructor Liu and said: "The matter has come to this, no matter what the result is, I will do my best, not only for you, but more importantly for me and my brother."

Can you tell me the truth, if none of these things are alive, we have successfully found the treasure, and after opening it, what will you do with the two of us when you fulfill your long-cherished wish for many years? Is it just burying us in the sand? ”

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Ziyang didn't get an answer from Instructor Liu, and then he continued: "I know that what I say to you now is a luxury, I just want to tell you, if I really get water, save everyone's lives, and help you find the treasure of the ancient country, can you let my brother go."

This kid is stupid, very stupid. He was so stupid that he didn't drink a sip of water for three days, and all the water was left to me, and now he was dehydrated, lying in the middle of the carriage and burning.

From your attitude towards your subordinates, I can see that you are also a very affectionate person, although the relationship between the two of us is not good, but I hope you can see this point of brotherhood and agree to my request.

As for me, you can deal with it casually, but please let him go, let this good brother of mine go. ”

After saying these words, Chen Ziyang did not wait for Instructor Liu's answer, but pushed open the door of the carriage and was about to go outside, when a voice came from behind him: "Then!" ”

Subconsciously turned around, Chen Ziyang caught the thing that Instructor Liu threw at him, and after grabbing this thing in his hand, Chen Ziyang saw that what Instructor Liu threw to him turned out to be a kettle. After shaking the kettle, Chen Ziyang should have at least one cup of water in the kettle.

This glass of water is probably the only water left by Instructor Liu except for the small half cup of water. After getting this gift, Chen Ziyang was really surprised. Then he looked at Instructor Liu and showed a puzzled expression.

"I don't know how much hope you have there, but it's better than no hope, you have the physical strength and energy to be able to do the next thing, you can drink this water yourself, you can also use it to save your brother, I can only help you so much."

Chen Ziyang didn't know what caused Instructor Liu's attitude towards him to change, whether he really pressed all the treasures on the magical effect of the diamond, or whether his words just now touched Instructor Liu's emotions.

But anyway, this time I came to Instructor Liu's right place, not only did I get the information about the ancient country I wanted, but also the unexpected harvest of this glass of water.

After holding the kettle and raising it to Instructor Liu, Chen Ziyang didn't say thank you, and turned to leave.

Chen Ziyang, who returned to the carriage, couldn't wait to help Yang Lei up and feed him a few sips of water from the kettle. Because he didn't know if his judgment was correct, and he didn't know if there would be any more clear water flowing out of this diamond, Chen Ziyang felt that it was better not to feed all this water to Yang Lei at one time, although it was not much, it was barely enough for him to hold on for two or three days.

Then Chen Ziyang dipped his fingers in the two drops of water on the edge of the mouth of the kettle, and wiped the two drops of water on his lips, just like Yang Lei did before.

"Good brother, now it's time for me to take care of you, if you hold on, I will definitely do my best."
