"What's wrong?" Seeing Huo Qingtong's bad face, Xu Yang asked with concern.

"This place I know. Huo Qingtong pointed to the dilapidated ancient city road under the white peak.

"A long time ago, someone said that there was originally an extremely rich city in this desert, but then it was swallowed up by the sand overnight, and everyone failed to escape, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures stored in the city, so every year many people go in to find treasures, but they find treasures but can't take them out, there is a curse in this city, as long as those who take the gold and silver inside, they will never be able to get out of this city, and when they die, they will become greedy ghosts, and confuse those who come in to find treasures, and so on ...... have been reincarnated."

Hearing this, even under the blue sky and white sun, Xu Yang inevitably had a cold war.

He doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, but that doesn't stop him from being timid......

Huo Qingtong said again: "Someone in our clan owed a lot of money before, so he went to find that place, wanting to find some jewelry to pay off the debt. I went and no one came back. Once, a caravan rescued a half-dead man in the desert. He said that he had entered the ancient city, but when he came out, he encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and he always went around in a circle in one place, and finally he was exhausted and fell to the ground. The leader of the caravan asked this man to lead everyone to the ancient city to explore the treasures again, but he did not agree, saying that he would give him all the gold and silver treasures in the ancient city, and he would not set foot in this ghost city for half a step. ”

Xu Yang was not very afraid when he heard this passage, since Chen Jialuo in the novel could pass through this ancient city safely and finally find the treasure, then it proves that this treasure map is reliable, and those who can't get out are afraid that they will get lost if they don't have a map.

"It's okay, these are just legends, if it's true, then who spread these stories?" Xu Yang said with a smile: "As for the ghost hitting the wall, even if there is no ancient city, people who walk in the desert will sometimes encounter it, but it is not necessarily the ghost in this city who has gone out to visit relatives?"

His relaxed attitude also seemed to have infected Huo Qingtong, and other people on the side had more or less heard this story, and they were originally a little uneasy, but seeing that Xu Yang was so inappropriate, these people's mentality slowly calmed down.

Soon, it was more than ten miles outside the ancient city, and the ancient city seemed to have at least hundreds of years of history, but not far away Xu Yang found that there were dozens of mountain roads, rocky and rugged, and obstacles everywhere, and he couldn't tell which road was the road to the ancient city.

Everyone also came up with ideas one after another, some said that the big guys went their separate ways, and some said that it was better to climb the mountain directly to the ancient city and avoid these strange mountain roads.

Xu Yang thought about it for a while, and suddenly had an idea, remembering the strange words written on the map, should it be here?

So Xu Yang made the decision, leaving 700 people to wait here, and if he really got lost, he sent a signal to contact, and then selected 100 of the most elite warriors to march along the third road on the left.

Leaving seven hundred people, the main reason is that Xu Yang is worried that the wild wolves in the wilderness will smell the smell of people and animals, if there are fewer people, it is really to give meat to them for nothing, and leave the seven hundred warriors, even if there are more wolves, it is impossible to get past their block, and it can ensure that the back road is safe.

Sure enough, there were not too many obstacles along the way, but the road became narrower and narrower, and soon after they arrived at an intersection, where there were three forks in the road, and Xu Yang decisively chose the middle road.

Every time he passed a junction or a turning point, Xu Yang arranged to leave three or four people as a response, so that even if there was really any problem in the city, they would not get lost when they came out.

After a short time, he saw all kinds of bones on the side of the road, some with all kinds of jewels, apparently greedy people who had taken treasures from the ancient city, but when they got out of the city, they got lost, and then gave their lives in vain, and by this time the jewels were more useful than water and food.

Commanding everyone to put away those jewels, Xu Yang is not worried about someone being corrupt, these Hui people are all simple-minded good men, and they will not be greedy for these treasures.

Moreover, these jewels are a little rough in production, and they may be worth some money after careful polishing in later generations, but in this era, they are actually just big road goods, and their value is not too high.

Continuing forward, the road is getting smoother and smoother, and the road is getting wider and wider, looking at the map marking, it is not too far from the ancient city.

Sure enough, after a stick of incense, their group had arrived at the gate of the ancient city.

Looking at the people who were still a little afraid, Xu Yang led the way into the city.

Huo Qingtong hurriedly followed, and everyone also pretended to be brave and followed into the city.

Mr. Xu is a wise man, and it is certainly right to follow him.

At this time, the scorching sun is in the sky, a white jade mountain peak rises to the sky, this city is built around the mountain peak, and the rows are all private houses. There is no complete house, but the roads in the city are extremely wide and extend in all directions. Even the houses that look quite dilapidated today are quite open-minded, and you can imagine the prosperity of this ancient city back then.

At a glance, all kinds of houses are lined up, but there is no sound inside, not even the sound of birds and birds.

Everyone had never seen such a strange and terrifying scene, and they were so shocked by the silence of the city that they didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

No one knew from which corner a ghost would suddenly burst out and devour their souls, and a few who were a little timid by nature even opened their mouths to recite the scriptures and ask Allah to bless them.

The city was extremely dry, and no vegetation could survive.

Everywhere seems to retain the traces of human life, most of the items of the ancients' lives are well preserved, Xu Yang entered a room, and saw an ancient painting hanging on the wall, the brushwork is smooth, the color is bright, and the painting of the Central Plains is very different, but as soon as his hand touched, this ancient painting turned into ashes, which frightened Xu Yang.

I'm afraid it's not inhabited for thousands of years.

The feeling of being in a different world made Xu Yang feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Huo Qingtong was still behind him at this time, and the remaining dozens of Hui warriors also stayed outside the house and did not walk around.

Along the way, I saw white bones everywhere, and all kinds of knives, guns, and weapons were thrown everywhere.

Xu Yang said to Huo Qingtong: "Legend says that this ancient city was swallowed and buried by yellow sand falling from the sky, and it doesn't look like the situation at all. ”

"Yes, there is no trace of yellow sand buried here? It is more like a great battle in which the entire inhabitants of the city have been killed by the enemy. Huo Qingtong responded: "There are so many forks outside the city, if you don't know the secret written in the map, anyone will get lost and trapped outside the city, but how do those enemies get in." ”

Xu Yang nodded: "Presumably, there must be a traitor in the city." ”
