"Where do you go from here? Do you want to move forward and fight the desert, or do you want to stay where you are and gamble with your luck? Chen Ziyang hesitated, after all, this choice was too important to him.

After thinking for a while, and after taking a deep breath, Chen Ziyang reached out and took the mountain ghost gossip money left to him by the old Taoist master off his neck. After untying the rope tied to the money and holding it in his hand, he said to the mountain ghost gossip money:

"Master, your old man has a spirit in the sky, and the apprentice needs your guidance this time. In the tomb of Li Zhuo of the Eastern Dynasty, you helped me block this bullet, and in the underground palace of the ancient country of Bohai, you reminded me of the rotating gossip array, I know that you have been watching me from the sky, this time, I hope you can help me make a choice. ”

After saying these words to himself, Chen Ziyang placed the mountain ghost gossip money with the bullet embedded side down on a relatively flat broken wall, and then he pinched the money with a few fingers and made it spin at a high speed.

The bullet that shot from Qin Liang's gun that was blocked by this mountain ghost gossip money before has been integrated with this money. The bullet protruded on the surface of the money, and under the rotation of Chen Ziyang's fingers, the entire mountain ghost gossip money spent money on this bullet as the axis, spinning at high speed like a spinning top.

"If the cadre is facing forward, I will leave this desert on foot, if the cadre position is backward, I will stay here and wait for rescue to solve the mystery of the treasure of this ancient country." Chen Ziyang stared at the high-speed spinning money and said.

It has been said that when a person decides something by tossing a coin, he actually knows the answer he wants most before the coin hits the ground. Because staring at the coin being tossed in mid-air, the side that this person wants the coin to appear most is the answer he has already chosen in his heart.

At this time, Chen Ziyang was the same, at this moment, he stared at this rotating mountain ghost gossip and spent a lot of money, and once again quickly compared the two choices, he made his own decision.

When the money stopped spinning, Chen Ziyang saw that the dry pattern engraved on the money pointed straight to him, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

"Master, thank you for your guidance, our master and apprentice want to go together again." Tie this mountain ghost gossip money to his neck again, Chen Ziyang rubbed his nose, turned around and walked towards the stone platform that he had touched before.

When the mountain ghost gossip was spun around just now, Chen Ziyang had already made a choice. Although the more likely of surviving the two options was to leave the desert, he knew that he would not be able to do so.

It is very likely that the actual distance from here to the edge of the desert is much farther than he expected, and he will not be able to walk to the edge of the desert in five days, and because he was sucked away by the diamond before, Chen Ziyang knows that his current body is not full of qi and blood, and it is impossible for him to have sufficient physical strength to fight with the desert all the time, not to mention that he has to fight for several days.

And Yang Lei may still be here, he doesn't plan to give up this brother. Even if Yang Lei has been buried under the yellow sand, he has to dig him out, and he will see people in life and corpses in death.

In that strange dream before, this diamond had also told itself that there was a way to heal his left arm in this ancient country. In addition to this reason, Chen Ziyang felt that since there was an invisible silk thread in the darkness that had pulled him here, and the matter had come to this point, even if he died here, he had to figure out the matter of this treasure.

Coming to the vicinity of the circular stone plate again, Chen Ziyang decided to start cracking the secret of the treasure of the ancient kingdom from here. Although it is said that the ruins of the entire ancient kingdom have been rediscovered, where are the treasures of the ancient kingdom and what these treasures are, I still have no clue, so I can only study from scratch.

He had a rough circle around this ancient city before, and among the ruins of the entire ancient city, except for this round stone platform and the stone pillars on it, everything else was some ruins and broken walls, and they were all very ordinary loess mud walls. So Chen Ziyang decided to start from here first.

The groove at the top of the pillar is used to embed the diamond, and then the blood in the diamond will flow down the lines on the pillar to the lower plate, and then the blood will flow down the lines on the plate into the ground.

When this mechanism was activated, a large amount of wind blew from the edge of the stone plate. Therefore, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very likely that the bottom of this stone platform was the key to the treasure of the entire ancient country.

After squatting near the stone platform and observing it carefully for a while, Chen Ziyang found that this stone platform was much higher than he remembered, and it should have been the wind that blew from under the stone platform before that blew away all the yellow sand buried around the stone platform. But after looking at it for a while, he felt that something was not quite right.

If the wind blew from the bottom of the platform, then there must have been a deep ditch at the edge of the platform, and it was from this deep ditch that the wind blew away the surrounding yellow sand.

However, the bottom of this stone platform is still buried in yellow sand. In other words, the gust of wind did not blow from under the stone platform at all. Even if there is a deep ditch around the stone platform, it is very unreasonable, the previous wind can blow away all the sand and soil for tens of meters, and it should be impossible for such a strong wind to blow out of just a small gap.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that the previous wind was likely to have something to do with this diamond, after all, the soil in the ancient tomb would automatically avoid this diamond, so that means that this diamond will have some specific effects on the sand, and this effect should be one of the magical abilities of the diamond itself, and it is not something that he can figure out for the time being.

Just as Chen Ziyang was observing the stone platform, he suddenly found an interesting place. Although the sand around the circular stone platform has been blown away a lot, and it looks as if the stone platform has been raised, the notches on the side of the stone platform still extend downwards to the yellow sand.

I remembered the scene when these marks sent my own blood to the previous moment. Chen Ziyang knew that this stone platform was not completely exposed, and there should be other parts of the stone platform under the sand. So he prepared to use the sapper shovel he carried with him to dig up the sand around the stone platform and see what was going on below. It also helps to help yourself understand this magical altar.

Chen Ziyang then untied the sapper shovel from the backpack, threw the backpack aside, and began his excavation work.

Because there was no way to exert force with his left hand, Chen Ziyang could only use one right hand to hold a sapper shovel to dig. Although when he stepped down the shovel, he could use his feet to step down on the sapper shovel, which was more labor-saving, but when lifting the dug sand upward, Chen Ziyang was still only able to use the strength of one hand.

After a few shovels, he felt that his right arm was a little sore, after all, this kind of sapper shovel is designed to be used by two hands at the same time, and it is too physically demanding to operate this kind of sapper shovel with one hand.

After dozens of shovels, Chen Ziyang had already dug a big pit more than half a meter deep on the edge of the stone platform, but at this time he was already sweating profusely and couldn't dig at all.

Sitting on the stone platform, Chen Ziyang carefully calculated that he couldn't dig like this anymore. This method of excavation is too physically demanding, maybe before all the stone platforms are dug out, I am already exhausted here, and I don't have much food and water, so I can only ensure my physical strength for three days.

This kind of excavation work will excessively consume their own strength, which is equivalent to accelerating the consumption of their own food in disguise, this method is very undesirable, if you can't be 100% sure that the treasure is under this stone platform, then you will become a stupid boy if you dig like this, and it is likely that the time will run out of food but find nothing.

In addition, it is daytime, and the climate in the desert is relatively hot, so the sunlight will deplete the water in your body faster. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Ziyang felt that it was better not to continue digging.

After resting for a while, he stood up and looked around the ruins of the ancient kingdom again. Chen Ziyang thought in his heart that because he had only observed this ruin the day before, it was likely that there were many details that he had not paid attention to at all, and maybe these ruins contained clues to the treasures of the ancient country.

Since the excavation work could not be carried out, Chen Ziyang decided to search the ruins of this ancient country again to see if he could find anything.

Choosing a relatively high broken wall, Chen Ziyang climbed to the broken wall, carefully looked around the ruins of the entire ancient country, and after looking at it for a while, he found that although the broken wall in this ruin seemed to be disorganized, he could also see some clues from it.

There is nothing else in the whole ruins except for broken walls and yellow sand, but the arrangement of these broken walls is still very particular. The broken walls surrounded on all sides should be a room, these rooms are large and small, and some of the rooms also have broken walls, it seems that those should be two-room houses. There was a few meters wide open space between the houses, which was supposed to be something like a street before, for people to walk on.

The streets are disorganized, but they largely divide the ruins of this ancient country into several sections, each of which looks like a small block. Chen Ziyang noticed that there was one neighborhood that was clearly different from the others.

In the northeast and northwest directions of the circular stone platform, there are two streets, which are much wider than the other streets, and the area between these two streets, that is, an area directly north of the circular stone platform, where the broken wall is very different in style compared to other short walls.

In other places, the area of the house surrounded by broken walls is not large, probably more than 10 square meters, more than 20 square meters, and even smaller. Moreover, these rooms are almost all independent, and even if there are two rooms close to each other, it can be seen from the shape of the broken wall, which was not connected before.

However, in the area directly north of the circular stone platform, the houses enclosed by the broken walls here are larger, each with an area of more than 30 square meters, and even some rooms are more than 100 square meters in size. And the houses are all connected, and they look like palaces.

"Could it be that this is where the palace of the ancient kingdom of Sumi was once located?" Chen Ziyang thought in his heart that after having this idea, he continued to observe it in a targeted manner.

Because he didn't notice these details before, Chen Ziyang mistakenly took the relatively large houses in this area as a street, after all, these remaining broken walls are very low, and there are almost no traces of broken walls in many places, plus the burial of yellow sand, making the traces of these broken walls even less obvious, so he didn't find the difference in this area before.

But now that he saw that this place should have been a palace, Chen Ziyang became interested in this place, so he jumped off the broken wall and walked to this strange area to observe it carefully. After looking at it for a while, Chen Ziyang became more and more sure of his thoughts.

In this area, directly opposite the stone platform, there was a huge room, and the area of this room was very large, and even the area of this room was almost the size of the small square where the stone platform was located, and this should be the hall of the royal palace or something.

The other rooms in this area are connected to this "hall", extending to the left, right and rear. It can be seen that the houses around this hall are arranged in a staggered manner, very organized, and the planning is relatively reasonable, which is very different from the small houses in other areas.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang excited. Although he didn't know what kind of system this country had when it existed, whether it was slavery or feudalism, it was the supremacy of royal power, and all the wealth of the country was gathered in the hands of the royal family. So if the treasure of this ancient country can be hidden somewhere, it must be this area.

Unfortunately, because of the distance between the broken walls, there is more yellow sand in these houses. After sighing, Chen Ziyang knew that he had to take out the sapper shovel and continue digging.

After looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and finding a shadow of a broken wall and sitting down, Chen Ziyang carefully calculated.

Digging must be dug, but how to dig and when to dig have to be a little particular about this. If you just work hard under the scorching sun, it won't be long before your physical strength will be exhausted, so you must think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that you can not over-consume your physical strength, but also improve your digging efficiency.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziyang slapped his forehead fiercely, why didn't he think of it before, he was too stupid, wouldn't it be good to use this method earlier.
