Soon, Xuan Zhen took the Luoyang shovel and made a caving on the ground.

The soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel, section by section, was piled on the ground like a small cylinder.

The soil here is very hard, and it is unusually dry.

After bringing it out of the earth, Lu Pingliu walked over, picked up the stone pillar on the ground, and took a look.

Everyone was amazed, because the soil here is also black.

Duan Jingzhi said: "How is the soil quality here? What kind of soil is this? ”

Chongning glanced at it and said, "In such soil, it seems to contain iron. ”

Because only iron-containing soils will appear such a black-brown color.

This kind of black is not quite the same as the black soil of the Northeast.

Inside the black, there is some brown powder.

"What age is this?" Duan Jingzhi asked in a low voice.

Lu Pingliu looked at the color inside, then put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and said: "The age of this soil should be around the Song Dynasty." ”

The sealing soil here, from the hardness, texture, and color, can roughly estimate the age.

"Hao Yu, look at this, is it suitable to continue fighting?"

Lu Pingliu put down a section of soil and asked.

Yang Haoyu is a Guanshan Taibao and is familiar with the structure of the royal tombs.

The position he has identified is basically the best position.

Yang Haoyu squatted down and looked at the soil on the ground.

He crushed a lump of dirt, put it in front of his nose, and sniffed it.

"Dig a few more caverns and take a look."

As he spoke, he designated a few more positions.

Xuan Zhen took the Luoyang shovel, and in those positions, he began to continue to explore the cave.

At the same time, Chongning and Duan Jingzhi also took the Luoyang shovel, learned Xuanzhen's movements, and began to make holes at a few points.

In this way, they hit more than a dozen cavings in a row, and Yang Haoyu was not very satisfied.

All the caving did not meet his expectations.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came.

Chongning hurriedly looked into the distance, he thought it was the group of desert rugs chasing after him, not only was he a little nervous.

Everyone heard the sound and looked at the sand dunes in the distance.

I saw a line of black shadows, slowly approaching.

Lu Pingliu's face was deep, and he said, "Let's hide first." ”

As he spoke, they gathered their tools and buried the caves for the time being.

Then, they took refuge in a small sand dune not far away.

Bell, bell, that's the sound of camel bells.

I saw that in the place ahead, a camel caravan appeared.

There were more than a dozen people in the team over there, and everyone's face was covered with a scarf, which was not real.

Soon, the team passed through this side, not noticing the anomaly here, and continued to walk forward.

When the crowd moved away, Lu Pingliu said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

At this time, everyone's footprints are still very clear.

Chongning and the others nodded their heads, cautiously followed behind, and walked over.

However, when they chased after them, they were surprised to find that the team had disappeared!

Chongning was surprised, "What's going on?" ”

I saw a caravan, how could it suddenly disappear?

In the blink of an eye, it's gone?

Things are too strange.

It was only a few minutes before and after, and the barren desert was empty.

Duan Jingzhi's face was full of surprise, "How could it have disappeared?" ”

Xuan Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "Is it a mirage?" ”

In the desert, this kind of illusion often appears.

For example, when a caravan travels in the desert, it is common to see an oasis, but when you pass it, there is nothing.

Or come across some small town buildings, which look very real, but they are also mirages.

Lu Pingliu shook his head and said, "Not really." ”

Oases in the desert, or city-states, are fantasies, they don't exist.

But the footprints on the ground, that's real.

Chongning squatted down and touched the footprints with his hand, which was indeed not an illusion.

It seems that the camel caravan just now cannot be a mirage.

The team of more than a dozen people suddenly disappeared, some of which were too weird.

Chongning asked, "Zhuoma, when you came to worship before, did you find that there are other strange places here?" ”

Dolma shook his head, also confused, "If we sacrifice, the rest of the people are waiting outside, and only the high priest himself goes to the depths." ”

Chongning answered and said, "Then let's go to the front and take a look." ”

They followed the footprints and walked forward, but the wind and sand in front of them were large, and the footprints on the sand had been covered by the sand, and they couldn't see it clearly.

Further on, the footprints of the caravan disappeared completely.

Not far ahead, there is a strange sand dune, and the overall structure is like a pagoda.

Lu Pingliu looked ahead and said, "Do you see that sand dune?" ”

Xuan Zhen said: "It's like sealing a mound." ”

The mound of sealed soil in the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty is that kind of structure.

Lu Pingliu answered and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

As he spoke, the group walked over to that side.

They walked for about ten minutes, and Lu Pingliu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

His face was gloomy and he said, "Be careful, everyone. ”

Before the words fell, Chongning only felt the sand on the ground, moving slowly.

"Not good, look at your feet."

I saw that the sand on the ground was all flowing, like lake water in a deep pool.

Xuan Zhen was shocked and said in surprise: "It's not good, it's quicksand!" ”

The sand under their feet, moving fast, as if they were sinking!

Yang Haoyu's face was greatly surprised, "Quicksand, retreat!" ”

Quicksand is extremely dangerous in the desert, and as long as you sink into it, you will definitely be buried in the desert.

As he spoke, he struck the camel hard.

The camel rushed forward.

However, the quicksand around was too big for the camels to escape, no matter how hard they tried.

The situation of Chongning and the others is similar, in the quicksand, they can't run out at all!

Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale and panicked.

At this time, only the two camels at the very edge, outside the quicksand circle, were not affected.

The camel was standing there, but it was fine.

Lu Pingliu instantly took out a rope and quickly handed it to Chongning's people.

"Hold on, hurry!"

Chongning didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly grabbed the rope, and then handed the other end to Duan Jingzhi and the others.

At the same time, Lu Pingliu waved the rope vigorously, made a noose in front of him, and threw it directly towards the neck of the camel!

The other end of the rope grabbed the camel's neck steadily.

Then, Lu Pingliu shouted.

The camel on the edge is galloping outward.

In this way, the camel pulled Lu Pingliu, Chongning and others, and pulled out the quicksand layer.

The group is like grasshoppers on a rope, connected together, and the scene is extremely funny.

The strength of the camel is extremely great, and it is okay to pull a few people.

Soon, several people were pulled out of the quicksand layer by camels.

After they left the dangerous place, the bloody quicksand returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

The general quicksand will quickly compound without a trace, which is extremely weird, which is also the danger of quicksand.

Chongning squatted on the ground, his heart pounding.

It was really dangerous just now, if it weren't for Lu Pingliu's rope, their group might have explained this place.

Duan Jingzhi and Zhuoma's faces were pale, and they also had palpitations

All of their camels fell into the quicksand.

At this time, only two camels remained.

Most of the food and water sources also fell into the quicksand with the camels.

Their supplies were reduced by more than half in an instant.

Lu Pingliu sorted out the only supplies they had left, and said, "We have to get out of here quickly." ”

So saying, they headed ahead and continued on their way.

The original sealed mound was not very far, and according to their speed, they could reach that side in ten minutes.

The crowd walked for a while, and something didn't feel right.

Because no matter where they go, they seem to be standing still.

Chongning's brows furrowed slightly, looking at his surroundings.

It's understandable to get lost in the jungle.

But in the desert on the edge of the barrenness, there is no shelter, and the target is in front of you, but no matter where you go, it is difficult to get close.

This feeling is unusually weird.

Chongning said: "Do you feel that we are going in circles? ”

Xuan Zhen's face was gloomy, and he said, "Did we encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" ”

Duan Jingzhi was stunned and said in surprise: "You mean, this place is very evil? ”

In the mausoleum, there are also places where the yin qi is heavy, and sometimes you will encounter ghosts hitting the wall.

It's just that the road is ahead, but no matter what, you can't get out.

Xuan Zhen groaned, took out a paper talisman from his robe, and put it on the camel's forehead.

The crowd continued, heading towards the front.

However, after walking for a while, everyone still did not go out.

Lu Pingliu suddenly tore open two strips of cloth and blindfolded the eyes of the two camels.

"Everyone close their eyes and follow me."

This kind of strange action made everyone feel very puzzled.

You can't get out with your eyes open, let alone with your eyes closed.

However, Lu Pingliu is an old leader after all, and everyone can only do it.

The group joined hands, followed the camels, and began to walk blindly.

After about ten minutes, I only heard Lu Pingliu say, "Okay, everyone can open their eyes." ”

Chongning opened his eyes and was very surprised to find that they had actually walked out of that predicament!

At this time, the peculiar mound of sealed soil was dozens of meters ahead.

Duan Jingzhi said happily: "Mr. Lu, how did you get out?" ”

Lu Pingliu said: "That ghost hitting the wall is actually a phenomenon of a desert labyrinth, especially with only one reference, people will always subconsciously turn in circles." ”

The more open the place, the more obvious it is.

At this time, you can't judge the direction with your eyes.

The temperature in the desert is high, the sand reflects the light, and the refraction of the sun's rays makes the position of all the references not very accurate. 33

In other words, the only reference, that is, the mound of seals, has changed its position in the eye.

To put it simply, seeing is not believing.

At this time, you can only close your eyes and judge the position rationally according to your instincts.

And the survival instinct of camels far surpasses that of humans.

Blindfold the camel and, judging by it, will soon be able to get out of the desert maze.

After Chongning and the others listened, they nodded again and again.

Yang Haoyu looked behind him thoughtfully.

Lu Pingliu also saw that Yang Haoyu had something on his mind, and asked, "Hao Yu, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Haoyu pointed to the back and said, "That quicksand, and the maze, the two positions are very close to each other, and they seem to be designed." ”

Xuan Zhen's brows frowned slightly, and he said, "You mean, this itself is a tomb protection formation. ”

Chongning said in surprise: "Tomb protection formation? ”

In the area around the ancient imperial tombs, in order to prevent the harassment of tomb robbers and others, a maze would be laid in the outer circle.

Now that I think about it, quicksand and labyrinths do seem to be man-made.

Lu Pingliu also looked behind him and analyzed carefully, "It's a bit like the door of life and death of Qimen Dunjia." ”

When they were in the submarine tomb, Chongning and others also encountered the Qimen Dunjia technique.

However, the methods of this place seem to be more different.

Lu Pingliu groaned and said, "Hao Yu, then you calculate, which position is the direction of Shengmen?" ”

If this is indeed the Tomb Protection Formation, then if they walk at will, they don't know what dangers they will encounter.

Only when you really go in the right direction can you get out of this formation.

Yang Haoyu answered, then took out the golden compass and paced back and forth around.

The hands of the golden compass are constantly spinning and extremely intense.

Obviously, the surrounding magnetic field is disordered, laying down the overall feng shui situation.

Yang Haoyu's fingers kept changing, trying to calculate the best position.

After a while, his body trembled slightly, as if he had spent a great deal of energy.

Yang Haoyu pointed to a small sand dune not far away and said, "It should be over there." ”

Everyone was stunned, which was completely opposite to the location of the original sealed mound.

Xuan Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "Are you sure?" ”

Yang Haoyu responded, "Sure." ”

Lu Pingliu trusted Yang Haoyu very much, "I'll go over and have a look first." ”

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Xuan Zhen and the others could only scratch their heads and keep up.

This small sand dune is not very far, only a few tens of meters.

Soon, they were next to the dunes.

Thundered!

No sooner had they approached than they heard a roar.

Suddenly, the entire dune began to move, and a stone gate appeared!

The stone door opened, unusually weird.

Lu Pingliu looked inside and took a look.

There is no light in the black hole, and it is very gloomy.

Everyone did not dare to go in without permission, and all of them stood at the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, the little sand golem seemed to be very happy, jumped up, and jumped directly in.

Chongning was surprised and shouted in a low voice: "Hey, why are you going?" ”

The little sand golem disappeared into the darkness.

Chongning was bold, went inside, and walked in.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Pingliu and others also followed.

I saw that behind the stone gate, there was a large space.

In the place of the door, there is also the sound of rustling.

Everyone looked over and was a little surprised.

Behind the stone gate, there were more than a dozen camels tied to them.

This caravan is the one that disappeared in the desert.

However, at this time, only camels remained, and no one was seen.

Lu Pingliu made a silent gesture, walked towards the front, and walked slowly.

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