C159 Hot Wasteland Town
C159 Hot Wasteland Town
The Six-eyed Golden Lion looked at the completely new map that Lu Yang had drawn out. It did not think that Lu Yang had really unraveled the secret of this ancient goatskin scroll that it could not understand.
"According to the directions on the map, the destination should be a small hot and desolate town in the northwest direction of Donglai City!" However, the Six-eyed Golden Lion did not ask any further, but earnestly studied the map, and nodded.
Lu Yang did not expect the Six-eyed Golden Lion to know of this place, and said both surprised and happy: "Since you know of this place, then let us leave immediately."
The Six-eyed Golden Lion nodded its head in agreement. Immediately after, Lu Yang packed his stuff, left Elder Chen a letter and started his journey.
This place was really a small town, and there wasn't even a proper tavern. Lu Yang followed the road and walked to the outskirts of the town before noticing a brightly lit house.
Lu Yang felt that this blind search was not the way to go about it. It was already late in the night, so he knocked on the door to see if he could borrow a room for the night.
The door opened and a little girl opened it. She called out "Master", but seeing that it was an unfamiliar man, she quickly swallowed the word "Master" and asked in surprise, "Who are you? Why are you here so late? "
Seeing that it was a little girl, Lu Yang couldn't help but reveal a kind smile, and said: "I'm here for work, so I'm not familiar with this place. It's too late now, so I can't find a place to stay.
The little girl looked at Lu Yang with her bright eyes and said: "You wouldn't also be going to the Hot Ancient Tomb, right?"
Hearing that, Lu Yang's heart was moved, and he asked in shock: "How did you know?" This place was exactly where the map indicated. He had gone through so much trouble to obtain this information from the sheepskin scroll, but he did not expect that even a little girl would know about it. This made him very curious.
The little girl said, "These past few days, many people have come to find out how to get to the Hot Ancient Tomb. A group of evil people knew that my grandfather knew the way to the ancient tomb, so they forced my grandfather to be their guide.
As the little girl spoke, her tears fell. It was obvious that she was very worried about her grandfather.
Lu Yang could not help but sigh. He squatted and said: "Little sister, don't cry, tell me what your grandfather looks like. If I meet him, I'll help you rescue him!"
The little girl looked at Lu Yang with her teary eyes and asked while sobbing, "Big brother, are you really willing to help me?"
Lu Yang vigorously nodded his head and said: "Mn!"
The little girl took a few steps back and looked at Lu Yang seriously. After confirming that Lu Yang didn't look like a bad guy, she said: "Thank you big brother, big brother, my grandfather is very thin. His hair is very white, and his beard is long.
Lu Yang silently memorized the little girl's grandfather's appearance, looked at the lonely and pitiful little girl in front of him, and sighed. After that, he caressed the little girl's cheeks and softly said: "I'll remember it, don't worry, Big Brother will definitely let you and your grandfather reunite, believe me!"
"Mhm mhm, big brother I believe in you!" But what should we do? Grandfather has been taken away by those bad people for a long time. "
Lu Yang said: "If they want your grandfather to lead the way, they probably won't do anything to your grandfather. If you don't know the specific location of the Hot Desolate Ancient Tomb, if I were to go there first and familiarize myself with the environment of the ancient tomb, maybe I can just wait inside, ambush, and save your grandfather. But that can only be done after you take me to the ancient tomb."
Lu Yang looked at the little girl and said solemnly.
After all, he didn't know how many people had gone to the ancient tomb. He didn't know how strong they were, but if he didn't find out where they were, it would be very dangerous to go there.
The little girl heard Lu Yang's words and nodded her head in agreement, then said: "Big brother, I can bring you to the ancient tomb, Grandfather took me there once before, I still remember how to go, but you have to promise Little Ling, you definitely cannot tell anyone else the location of the ancient tomb, otherwise Grandfather will definitely blame Little Ling."
Hearing that, Lu Yang smiled and nodded. He was only going to the ancient tomb to search for the thing he needed, not to mention that it was probably a treasure trove, how could he possibly announce it?
Seeing Lu Yang nod his head, Xiao Ling relaxed. He then pulled Lu Yang's hand and said: "Big brother, when are we going to go?
Lu Yang shook his head and said: "Right now, it's almost dark, so it's not convenient to do anything. I believe that they wouldn't go to the ancient tomb at night either.
Xiao Ling nodded and found a room for Lu Yang to stay in.
The next morning, the two of them left home, and under Little Ling's guidance, they ran towards the Ancient Burial Ground.
Following Xiao Ling around in the Heat Wasteland for a long time, they finally arrived at a remote alley. Finally, the two of them came to a shabby house.
Looking at the old and broken house, Lu Yang was suspicious. Could it be that the ancient tomb was right under the house?
"Big brother, come with me. If you want to go to the ancient tomb, you need something. Come in."
When Lu Yang was carefully sizing up this dilapidated house, Little Ling had already gently pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and walked in. She then turned around and shouted at Lu Yang with a smile.
After Lu Yang heard Xiao Ling's shout, he did not linger at the door and directly walked in, his gaze sweeping across the dilapidated old house, as if he was looking at something different.
You came here before you went to the ancient tomb? Could it be that there were hidden secrets here? Lu Yangxin curiously thought.
Filled with suspicion, Lu Yang stood inside the house and watched Xiao Ling rummage through the house as if she was looking for something. Although he didn't know what Xiao Ling was looking for, he could only wait quietly at the side.
Although he also wanted to go to the Hot Ancient Tomb earlier to get a feel for the terrain and prepare for tomorrow night, he would have to wait for Little Ling to take him to the tomb, otherwise it would all be useless. Right now, Xiao Ling was busy going through the house as if she wasn't sure where to find what she was looking for. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go through so much effort.
"Little Ling, what are you looking for? Do you want me to help you find it?"
Lu Yang saw that when Xiao Ling flipped through the books, she still could not find what she was looking for, so he could not help but ask.
As long as Little Ling told him what the thing she was looking for looked like, Lu Yang could easily sense everything in the house with just a sweep of his hand.
With a discouraged expression, she turned her head and looked at Lu Yang, pouting as she grumbled: "Strange, where did Grandfather put the wooden plate. What Big Brother wants is a wooden plate, it's about the size of your palm, can Big Brother help me find it?"
"If we can't find it, then we might be in danger after entering the ancient tomb. According to grandfather, before entering the ancient tomb, we must bring that wooden tablet with us."
Little Ling thought back to what her grandfather had told her, and said this to Lu Yang.
"Is there such a thing? Fine, let me look for it. A wooden plate, right? It should be easy to find."
Lu Yang closed his eyes slightly, and released his spiritual force out, covering the entire room with his spiritual force's perception.
When Lu Yang's spiritual force enveloped the room, everything inside the house was reflected in Lu Yang's mind. No matter which corner it was in, it would not escape Lu Yang's perception.
Very quickly, Lu Yang detected the location of the wooden plate under a floor tile at the corner of the house.
"Yes, there it is, under the floor in the corner over there." Lu Yang suddenly opened his eyes and said.
Xiao Ling immediately ran towards the direction that Lu Yang had pointed. In the corner of the room, there was a piece of floor that had been loosened, as if there was something hidden under the floor.
Little Ling excitedly stretched out her small hand to pick up a dusty stone board at the corner of the wall. She then put it aside and her gaze was attracted by a small grey wooden board underneath the stone board.
"Haha, big brother is so powerful! He's really here! I found it! It's this wooden tablet! With it, we'll be safe once we go to the ancient tomb!" Little Ling took the grey wooden tablet in her hand, and shouted at Lu Yang with a happy face.
Lu Yang saw that Xiao Ling, who had always been unhappy about his grandfather having been taken away, was actually smiling so happily now. He couldn't help but reveal a smile, and waved towards the latter: "Alright Xiao Ling, we've found the thing. Let's hurry up and set off."
"Mmm mmm mmm, mmm, big brother, let's go." Little Ling excitedly held onto the wooden tablet, and ran towards Lu Yang. Under her guidance, the two of them headed towards the Scorching Ancient Tomb.
The Hot Desolate Ancient Tomb wasn't inside of the Hot Desolate Town, but outside of it in a desert. Therefore, if the location of the tomb wasn't informed by a familiar person, then it would be difficult to find it in the endless golden ocean.
Fortunately, with Little Ling's guidance, the two of them quickly left the Hot Desolate Town. After walking for a few hours in the desert, they finally stopped at a place with seven big cactus. From the looks of it, the tomb should be around here, and these seven big cactus should be the symbol. Otherwise, how would it be possible to find the tomb in this sea of yellow sand, this kind of ancient land would definitely have something special.
This place was indeed special, at least these seven cactus were not found everywhere. Perhaps these seven cactus were planted here to be recognized, but for those who didn't know the tomb, ordinary people wouldn't care at all when they saw these cactus.
