In the early morning of the second day, Grandma Tong woke up from her sleep in good spirits, because last night she dreamed that she had grown taller...... Just about to talk to Mo Xiaolou, he found that the others were gone, leaving only a bag of dry food and a pot full of water.

With a pang in her heart, she ran out of the cave in a panic, but saw a person riding a big camel on the sand dunes in the distance, walking slowly towards this side......

"You know, this camel is indispensable for a journey in the desert, and when I saw a caravan selling melons and fruits passing by, I 'borrowed' one from them. ”

Mo Xiaolou carried Grandma Tong to the camel and stuffed her with a cantaloupe road,

"Although the pursuers of Western Xia are gone, Li Qiushui is as treacherous as a fox, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not kill a horse pistol, so we have to flee outside her sphere of influence quickly. ”

"Where to ......"

"Central Plains! To tell you the truth, I have already established a sect in the Central Plains, and I have quite some forces, so I will definitely not be afraid of her Li Qiushui. ”

Speaking of escaping, Mo Xiaolou is a profession within a profession and will not leave any traces. I saw that he tied the banana leaves behind the camels, and swept away the footprints of the two and the camels.

“...... In the same way, we also have to walk along the top of the sand dunes in order to observe the terrain and the enemy's situation, although it is easy to expose ourselves, but we can also detect danger at the first time. ”

"The ground of Shafeng is relatively solid, and the feet will sink deeper in other places, making it difficult and dangerous to walk. ”

"Look! Observe the terrain to the left and right and in front of you, find the right direction to walk, and also look for the time when the sun goes down. ”

Speaking of professional knowledge, Mo Xiaolou talked a lot, and by the way, he also casually talked about some knowledge of survival in the wilderness in later generations, such as how to judge the infestment of wild beasts, how to find water and food, how to make improvised weapons, and how to avoid high-altitude reconnaissance objects such as eagles and hunting birds in the sky.

Grandma Tong just nodded 'mmmmmm', maybe because she was confused by the sun, or maybe she felt relieved to have this capable teacher and nephew by her side.

And then...... Then, the two got lost......

Before they knew it, they had been walking in the desert for three days.

Although the water and food in the bag were enough for the two of them for a month, walking in the desert so aimlessly made Grandma Tong faintly feel like she was on a thief ship again.

This thief's nephew, does he have another map, obviously he has 'borrowed' a map and compass from the caravan he met by chance, and he can still get lost?

How did she know that the person behind her could do anything, but she didn't know the southeast and northwest, he was a road idiot, and she didn't know it.

Mo Xiaolou was in such a hurry to carry a camel through the desert and the Gobi, every time he crossed the Gobi, it was a bigger desert, the wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, and the sun was getting stronger and stronger.

On this day, Mo Xiaolou held the map in his hand, seriously looking for the route, his eyes sometimes raised and sometimes fell, and his mouth was full of words, as if something was wrong.

"Well, judging by the map, we should be almost there. ”

At this time, Grandma Tong had changed into the sun-shading headscarf and veil of the people of the Western Regions, and rolled her eyes in his arms.

In the past few days, this is the sentence she has heard the most. If she hadn't been able to hold the camel, she would have kicked Mo Xiaolou away at this time and went into battle herself.

I muttered so in my heart, and suddenly heard the sound of spring water tinkling in my ears.

"Ah, it's really here?"

Grandma Tong was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw that there was indeed a lot of greenery in front of her. She was overjoyed, and her eyes almost burst into tears, this sad day was finally coming to an end, and her skin had become rough and dark in the past few days.

She urged Mo Xiaolou to speed up on a camel, and when she arrived at the place, she came down to see that it was just a desert oasis.

Surrounded by strange stones, strange rocks towering, around a crescent-like spring, as if forming some kind of magic circle, and like some kind of mysterious text symbols. Although the water and grass here are abundant and green, there are no birds, birds and animals.

"It's weird here, let's go. ”

After washing their faces, picking some fruits, and filling them with drinking water, the two were about to leave, but they saw Mo Xiaolou shocked and said, "It's coming...... Two people...... Ask for directions......"

Grandma Tong secretly scolded herself: Bah, it is impossible for us to get out of this desert by relying on you, and we have to 'borrow' someone to be a guide this time.

In just a moment, two figures in the desert, a man and a woman, were walking towards the oasis, the woman was born with a lovely jade snow, a sword pinned to her waist, and the man's beard was very rough......

Mo Xiaolou stepped forward and arched his hand,

The woman also got off her horse and saluted back.

The two of them asked almost at the same time, "Excuse me, how do you go to Yumen Pass here?"

“......”

“......”

Afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, Mo Xiaolou coughed twice, and took the lead in breaking the silence: "Girl, could it be that you are also lost?"

The woman smiled lightly and said, "It's not that we are lost, we live not far away, and we have just set off to go to the Central Plains." ”

Mo Xiaolou smiled and said: "This is very good, I have a map of the Western Regions leading to the Central Plains, as well as a compass, we can go on the road together and have a response." ”

Hearing this, Grandma Tong muttered on the side: "You are really good at talking, and you treat others as free guides and say that you should take care of them." ”

Mo Xiaolou patted Grandma Tong's head and arched his hand: "What does the girl think." ”

The woman glanced at Mo Xiaolou and saw that he didn't look like an evil person, so she said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

......

The four of them returned along the road from which Mo Xiaolou came,

"Well, this map is very detailed, and if you follow it, you will be able to reach it quickly. The woman looked at the map carefully and said.

A few black lines appeared on Mo Xiaolou's face, and he changed the topic and said, "By the way, where was it just now, those stones and trees don't look natural." ”

The woman nodded and said, "Well, there is the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, which is quite strange, and people here dare not go." Seeing that the two of them are not from the Western Regions, are they here to hunt for treasures?"

Good guys, Loulan...... You really didn't get lost, it's completely reversed!

Regardless of the contemptuous expression of Grandma Tong in his arms, Mo Xiaolou said solemnly: "Yes, we came all the way from the Central Plains to see the legendary ancient city of Loulan. ”

"If it's not peaceful today, I don't want you to have interesting people in the Central Plains. ”

The woman's eyes showed a strange color, and she took out a quaint map from her bosom and said: "Thanks to the two of you for giving me the map, the little woman is grateful, this treasure map is useless to me, if you are interested, you can go and have a look." ”

"Where is this map?"

"Gaochang Labyrinth, have you ever heard of it?"

......

That night, Mo Xiaolou was lying comfortably on the bed in the inn thinking about things:

Following the woman, it was true, not only did she not take a long detour, but she found a desert town to settle down in, and finally got a good night's sleep.

He suddenly missed the era when there was GPS everywhere, and he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

Thinking like this, but I heard someone tossing and turning a few times on the bed next to her, and patted the bed board with a 'bang', Grandma Tong sat up and asked:

"Are we really not going to go to the Gaochang Labyrinth?"

"Don't go, you forgot, we have to go back to the Central Plains. ”

"That's the Gaochang Labyrinth, and there are countless rare treasures in it. Do you know, the reason why my Vulture Palace can be carried forward is because of a book of Western Regions alchemy, which can be fossilized into gold, which has the financial and material resources it has today. And according to the cave master who contributed this treasure, this alchemy in the Western Regions came from the Gaochang Labyrinth!"

"So what, the baby is important or your life is important. ”

"Well, isn't there a nephew here? ”

“...... I still have important things to deal with when I go back to the Central Plains, Gaochang Labyrinth, and I will go back in the future. ”

"Bastard!"

Grandma Tong's heart is itching, she can't stop, and she almost goes crazy.

After pacing back and forth in the room for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, followed Li Qiushui's example, leaned over Mo Xiaolou's ear, and said in an intriguing tone: "Good master and nephew, if you promise me to go, I will spare you another difficult matter......"

Mo Xiaolou straightened up suddenly, his face full of disbelief:

Grandma Tong, you have no discipline, and you don't hesitate to sell your life's events for the sake of treasures. It's rare that I took a lot of pains, and I knew that this was the case, so I collected some natural treasures and went directly to the door to propose marriage.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
