Lu Pingliu's face was solemn, he looked at the patriarch next to him and said, "Then the tomb of the prince of Western Xia, where is the specific location?" ”

The patriarch's expression was a little complicated, he groaned for a while, and said, "The original tomb keeper has been around the prince's tomb. ”

"But after a thousand years, the future generations of grave keepers have gradually deviated from their original positions."

Because the climate in the desert is changeable, especially in the oasis, it often changes.

The tribes in the desert are basically nomadic people, who live on water and grass.

They will often move their ethnic group as the oasis changes.

The same is true of the Gumo people, who, after nearly a thousand years of change, have deviated from their original ethnic position.

Chongning pondered for a moment and said, "Then you mean, you don't know the specific location of the tomb of the prince of Western Xia?" ”

The patriarch was silent for a moment and said, "We only know an approximate location. ”

As he spoke, he took out an old map from the table.

He pointed, a spot above.

"The tomb of the prince of Western Xia should be in this direction."

Chongning leaned over and took a look, very surprised.

Lu Pingliu and the others also came over and took a closer look at this ancient map.

Their looks, the same shock.

Because, the location marked on this map is almost the same as the location Yang Haoyu said, and it is very close.

The distance between the two is only a few dozen miles.

In the desert of the desert, the road of dozens of miles is not very far.

Chongning glanced at Yang Haoyu next to him, and couldn't help but be a little impressed.

Yang Haoyu was on the side, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was very proud.

Lu Pingliu smiled and said: "It is worthy of the Taibao of Guanshan, and the Guanshan Finger Mystery is worthy of its name." ”

Xuan Zhen is on the side, it doesn't matter.

He turned his eyes and said, "Then do you have the construction drawings of the tomb of the prince of Western Xia?" ”

As for the location, Yang Haoyu had determined it before, and this comparison can be regarded as a confirmation.

The main problem is the structure inside the tomb.

The royal tombs of the Western Xia and the royal tombs of the Central Plains are somewhat different and quite exotic.

The contents of the tomb, or mechanism, may not be found in the Central Plains.

Moreover, in Tibetan areas, as well as in the depths of the desert, there will be some witch formations.

This thing is very dangerous.

In addition, there are some tomb traps, all of which are unheard of and extremely dangerous.

Xuan Zhen was thinking that if the Gumo tribe had the drawings in the tomb of the prince of Western Xia, then everything would be much easier.

After all, the Gumo are the tomb keepers of the prince's tomb.

It is possible that the cemetery keepers were involved in the construction of the mausoleum in the beginning.

Chongning and the others, after hearing this, were also very curious, and looked at the patriarch one after another.

The patriarch looked at everyone's expectant eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He shook his head and said: "There are no structural drawings of the prince's tomb in the clan, and at the beginning, all the builders of the prince's tomb were buried, and no one came out alive. ”

After hearing this, everyone felt extremely shocked, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Although they all know that the fate of the mausoleum craftsmen is very cruel.

However, I was shocked to hear it.

The construction of ancient imperial tombs is an extremely cruel thing.

From the time the emperor ascended the throne, the construction of the emperor's imperial tomb began.

These mausoleums were built in more than ten years, and some of them took decades of work.

The structure of the mechanism inside is extremely complex, and there are many vicious formations.

In the process of construction, it costs a lot of effort, money, manpower and material resources.

These mausoleums are more than the palace has spent more thought.

The palace is just imposing enough, and it doesn't require too many mechanical structures.

Chongning and the others all sighed.

Since there are no drawings of the Western Xia tomb, you can only explore it on your own.

However, they did not get nothing.

The patriarch promised to send out a member of his clan to act as their guide to lead them to the edge of the fiefdom of the tomb of the prince of Western Xia.

This is a very good thing, because their previous guide, Lao Liu Tou, has defected from the team and is now missing.

Now they are in dire need of an experienced desert guide.

The Gumo people, who themselves were the tomb keepers of the tomb of the prince of Western Xia, and they had rich experience in the desert, so they were the most suitable guides.

After lunch, they were ready to leave.

At the entrance of the village, a figure rode a camel.

Chongning turned his head and looked, a little surprised.

This person was none other than Dolma, who had just been succeeded as high priest.

Duan Jingzhi still felt very kind when she saw Zhuoma, and said, "Zhuoma, are you here to see us off?" ”

Dolma smiled and said, "I'm your guide. ”

Chongning was stunned, and he didn't expect that the patriarch would send Zhuoma to act as their guide.

But now that I think about it, there are only a handful of people in the entire Gumo clan who can act as their guides.

First of all, you need to communicate with each other.

Of the other Gumo people, there are few who can speak Chinese, only Zhuoma, the patriarch and Langjie.

Naturally, the patriarch would not come over and act as a guide.

Langjie's situation is special, and he won't come.

The most suitable candidate is only Dolma.

Duan Jingzhi was very happy because there was another girl in the team.

Xuan Zhen and Yang Haoyu glanced at each other, and always felt that something was not suitable.

After all, she is a girl, and in the desert, I am afraid of inconvenience.

Dolma also seemed to see their doubts and distrust, and said with a smile: "I grew up in the desert since I was a child, and I have a lot of experience, and my experience is no less than that of any old guide. ”

"Moreover, every year I will follow the high priest to the tomb of the prince to perform a sacrifice ceremony. I'm still familiar with this road. ”

Xuan Zhen and the others were relieved when they heard that Zhuoma had been to the vicinity of the prince's tomb.

Lu Pingliu led the camel, walked over, and said, "Then let's start our journey." ”

With that, they set off on their journey.

This place is already a deep part of the desert.

In the depths of the desert, few caravans pass through here, and it is very desolate.

Chongning and the others rode on a camel and walked deeper towards the location on the map.

The desert is barren and desolate.

The further you go in, the more yellow sand you get, the green color gradually decreases, and the surrounding vegetation turns earthy yellow.

There were no trees along the way, and when I went inside, there were many fewer cacti.

Heaven and earth are the same color, and they are all barren.

The curtain is the color of yellow sand.

They walked for half a day, about three or four hours, and it gradually became dark.

Lu Pingliu and Xuan Zhen prepared tents, set up camp, and temporarily rested in front of a sand dune for the night.

Their food and water supply are plentiful. In the evening, the crowd had a full meal.

At night, they still follow the previous process and take turns on night shifts.

In the first half of the night, Chongning and Xuanzhen were on duty.

Next to the fire, Chongning was fiddling with firewood, and Xuan Zhen was lying in front of the pyre, snoring like thunder.

After a while, only a low roar was heard, coming from not far away.

This sound is very strange, like the roar of the wind, and also like the low cry of a wild beast.

Chongning was excited, originally a little drowsy, but suddenly woke up.

Hyun Jin was still lying on the pyre, asleep.

Chongning hurriedly walked over, touched Xuan Zhen, and said, "Xuan Zhen, hurry up, listen to what the sound is!" ”

Xuan Zhen was dazed, opened his eyes, and looked around.

In the desert, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

Except that the flame burns here, there is nothing.

"You're dazed, what's there?"

Xuan Zhen's words had just fallen, and he heard that strange voice, which sounded again.

At this time, Xuan Zhen shook his head and became more sober.

He stood up, looked around, his face was gloomy, and said, "Could it be a wolf?" ”

Chongning frowned slightly, and said, "In the desert, how can there be wolves?" ”

Xuan Zhen shook his head and said, "In the desert, there are wolves!" The desert wolf is almost the same as the steppe wolf, and the wolf in the desert is even more ferocious! ”

In an extreme environment, the desert wolf's movements are more agile and the wolf nature is more ferocious!

When Chongning heard this, his body was shocked and extremely surprised.

He hurriedly picked up the scimitar on the ground and looked around vigilantly, "There are really wolves, so what should I do?" ”33

Wolves are basically in groups, and there is a wolf king.

Once a wolf pack appears and is besieged, even a fierce lion will be difficult to resist.

Not to mention, that incomparably ferocious desert wolf!

Chongning looked around nervously, it was dark all around, and there was nothing but flames.

At this moment, Hyun Jin casually picked up a large stone and threw it forward.

With a bang, a gray figure leaped out!

Chongning fixed his eyes and saw that not far in front, a pair of blue eyes appeared, staring at them!

Hyun Jin also picked up the scimitar and looked ahead vigilantly.

I saw that in the dark shadows, a pair of blue and faint eyes gradually appeared.

Around them, there are about dozens of heads.

These fierce eyes, like ghost fire, gathered together, more and more, and gradually surrounded them in the center.

When the spectre came closer, he looked through the glimmer of the flames.

Only then did Chongning realize that this was not a wolf!

It's an unusually weird, extremely ugly beast.

Their bodies are relatively small, their eyes are bright, their mouths are hideous, their fangs are baring, and their tongues are constantly protruding scarlet, which is extremely terrifying!

Overall, it looks like an animal larger than a fox and smaller than a wolf.

Xuan Zhen's eyes, with a solemn expression, said: "This is the desert Ruan!" ”

"Desert awkward? What is this? "Chongning has never heard of this name.

In his impression, this kind of monster has only appeared in Lu Xun's melon fields.

Could it be that this is the same animal?

Xuan Zhen said in a deep voice: "The desert is the offspring of the desert wolf and the embarrassment, extremely fierce, and both have spiritual intelligence. ”

"The combat effectiveness of their group is outstanding, not inferior to the lions!"

After listening to Chongning, he only felt a tingling on his scalp, and cold sweat continued to flow on his back, which was extremely thrilling!

Some people died, but not completely......
