C331 Over There on the Ghost Sand
C331 Over There on the Ghost Sand
From yesterday morning when Gao Fei showed off his ruthlessness until now, the journey was smooth. They climbed up a sand dune at around 3: 30 in the afternoon. Then, they saw a piece of bronze colored ruins very far in front of them.
This, was Loulan Ruins.
After arriving at his destination, Jack let out a long sigh of relief, jumped off the camel, spread out the blanket, and kneeled on the ground. Halle Luria read for a few minutes, apparently to thank Hu Da for safely arriving with them.
Qin Chengcheng had seen these ruins on the television and on the internet before, but she wasn't as shocked as she was after seeing the actual thing. On the boundless golden sand, the ruins of an ancient country that had been nurtured for more than five hundred years stood silently in the sunlight like a wounded primordial beast. From afar, he could feel the tragic aura of a thousand years from its body, giving him an indescribable shock.
After staring blankly for a few minutes, Qin Chengcheng took out her camera from her backpack and quickly pressed the shutter button. She said in a deep voice, "Lou Lan, I see you. I'm here!"
A certain uneducated person splashed a bucket of cold water on the table and said, "Enough, don't lament about it here. This isn't a place we want to come to. Hurry up and get ready!"
Old Halle, who just got up from the blanket, was stunned and stuttered: "B-Boss, this place is Loulan Ruins huh."
"I know this is Loulan Ruins."
Gao Fei, who was mounted on a camel, looked towards the southwest direction of Loulan Ruins and lightly said: "But I'm not going there."
Subconsciously, Old Halle turned his head and followed the direction Gao Fei was looking. His pupils suddenly constricted, and even Sha Chen could not hide the paleness on his face. "Boss, you, you're not going towards the southwest, are you?"
Gao Fei turned his head and looked at Lao Liu and the other two on the camel. He slowly said, "I believe the four of us are not the only ones there."
Old Halle was surprised for a moment, then quickly walked in front of Lao Liu's camel and said with a deep voice: "Lao Liu, tell me the truth, are you going to Guisha side as well?"
Because of the hype, Loulan Ruins had become the biggest hot topic in the desert, even Old Halle who relied on the desert to eat, thus earning a large amount of silver. In these past few decades, he brought countless tourists and grave robbers to this place, and also brought them back safely to the mainland, which was why he earned the title of 'Golden Desert Guide'.
However, in the past few decades, he had never brought anyone ten kilometers southwest of the Loulan Ruins. Even at the end of the southwest, he would lead people south for a day and make a detour around the sea of sand thirty kilometers southwest of Lou Lan.
It was because Old Halle knew that the desert was called the 'Sea of Death', or 'Guisha'.
Legend has it that within the desert with a radius of tens of kilometers, the Asura King and some of the ancient fiends, other than the coal boss that led a dozen or so retired special forces and the rescue team, no one that entered the desert privately ever came back alive.
Since ancient times, this had always been the case.
Therefore, the desert was called a forbidden area by the desert people.
If Gao Fei and the others had told Old Halle at the beginning that they were going to the Guisha, even if they had to scrape him with a knife, he would not accept the business legend. Not only would the people who died in the Guisha be unspeakably miserable, they would have to be lonely ghosts and would never be able to reincarnate.
Lao Liu had entered the desert countless times before. It was Old Halle who had led the way, so the two of them were already very familiar with each other and could be considered as friends.
However, when Lao Liu first entered the desert, he never asked Old Halle to take him to Guisha.
But this time, Gao Fei said that he also wanted to go to Guisha, so it was no wonder Old Halle was shocked.
Lao Liu and his two companions looked at each other, then slowly nodded: "Yes, that boss is right, we came to the desert this time to go to Guisha."
Old Halle's face was full of disbelief: "Lao Liu, did you forget what I said to you?"
Lao Liu said softly, "I haven't forgotten. I know the Guisha over there. In the past few decades, among the people who went in, other than the coal owner and rescue team, no one else came out alive."
Old Halle's face was full of excitement: "Since you know, then why did you go in? Do you know that this is a desert that was cursed by the Asura King? There are Spiritual Lizard and other terrifying creatures here, and only death awaits you if you enter! "
Lao Liu leisurely said, "Old friend, before, I didn't dare to go in because I was still young and I didn't want to die that quickly. But now that I'm old and used to the cold of the world, living isn't that attractive to me. If one could enter the Guisha before death, even if one died inside, they would still be able to rest in peace. "Old friend, I know you don't dare to enter, but this doesn't matter. I don't need you to lead the way for Halle. May Hu Da bless you."
After Lao Liu finished speaking, without waiting for Old Halle to say anything, he suddenly pulled the reins, fiercely whipped the camel, and with a loud whistle, he ran down the sand dune towards Guisha.
Lao Liu's two companions followed closely behind. Three camels ran, raising a rolling Huang Loong.
"Come back, all of you come back!" You damned Chinese! "
Old Halle trembled as he chased a few steps forward. He knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky with both hands: "You will be punished by Hu Da. You will meet the Spiritual Lizard and be sucked dry! Your souls will forever drift about in the desert, and will never be able to take even half a step out of the Guisha! You will be tongue-cut... "
Gao Fei drove his camel, walked in front of Old Halle and said with a frown, "If they want to go, then go. Whether they live or die doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. Why are you so excited?"
Old Halle ignored Gao Fei and continued to raise his hands to the sky, the corners of his mouth still carrying white foam as he shouted: "You hated Chinese, entering the Guisha without permission would anger the Asura King, and the countless evil fiends within the Guisha, bringing about a plague disaster for the people of the desert! You bunch of abandoned villains, you want to implicate us! "
Old Halle suddenly jumped up from the ground after he shouted and climbed onto the camel. He didn't bother with Gao Fei and the others as he drove his camel like he was flying.
In the blink of an eye, Old Halle left with his camel.
The two camels that were carrying clear water and food originally wanted to follow Old Halle, but they were stopped by Tieh Tu and Ye Xinshang.
Looking at Old Halle's back, Ye Xinshang said: "He was afraid that he would be punished if he angered that scary thing over there, so he ran away in a hurry. "Looks like the first thing he did after returning to Three Willows was to move his family into the mainland to avoid retribution."
Qin Chengcheng frowned. "But he's alone without any supplies. Will he be able to return to Three Willows?"
Gao Fei took over: "Don't worry, that old guy is like a fish in the sea in the desert, he won't drown. On the other hand, without his guidance, it would be inconvenient for us. "
Gao Fei was worried about the inconvenience, and it wasn't because there was no one to lead the way to Guisha.
In any case, the Guisha was a few dozen kilometers northwest of the Loulan Ruins, and as long as one was not lost, one could enter it with one's eyes closed.
What he was worried about was that after everyone came out of the Guisha, no one would bring them back to the three willow trees.
Qin Chengcheng glanced at Lao Liu and the other two who had turned into three black dots and muttered, "Are there really evil spirits here?"
"You'll only know if you go in and take a look. Let's go, the four of us, six camels and a large amount of food and water, we can treat this expedition as a kind of tourism. "
Gao Fei pulled on the camel's reins and slowly walked towards the north.
However, just as she was about to make this request, Tieh Tu caught up to her. Gao Fei asked casually: "Lao Tieh, you said that Lao Liu and the other two have been to the desert so many times before. Why would they make up their minds to enter Guisha this time?"
Tieh Tu replied indifferently: "The three of them are all Commander Mojin inside the tomb robbing house. Previously, they came here and listened to Old Halle's words and did not enter the Guisha because they have yet to see through the secrets within."
Qin Chengcheng couldn't help but ask, "What secret?"
Tieh Tu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Commander Mojin's tomb robbing relies mainly on observing the feng shui and discerning the weather. With the Yi Chuan as its purpose, it is used to locate the acupoints of the ancient tomb. Lao Liu had come to the desert countless of times before because he had yet to find a specific acupuncture point and hadn't made sufficient preparations before entering the Guisha. This time, they have come prepared. It seems that they have put life and death beyond consideration. "
"The acupuncture points of the ancient tomb? "Could it be that there's..."
Just as Qin Chengcheng finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something from Gao Fei's Anggui Classic . She cried out involuntarily: "Ah, I know, they aren't looking for the ancient tomb, they're looking for the real Ancient City of Loulan!"
Gao Fei said slowly: "It seems that we are not the only ones who knows this secret. Could it be that Lao Liu and the other two have also seen the《 Anggui Scripture》, or perhaps they might as well be people from the Anggui Cult? "
Tieh Tu was about to say something, but his face slightly changed. He raised his hand to block his forehead and looked northwest: "It seems like the sky is going to change."
Gao Fei and the rest all looked over. A faint black line appeared in the northwest horizon very far away, just like the day before the big storm. It quickly turned into a thick black line.
"Could it be that the evil fiends of the Guisha knew that someone was going to invade them, and were enraged, preparing to use a storm to punish us?"
Gao Fei stopped the camel, turned around and asked Tieh Tu, "Lao Tieh, what should we do?"
Tieh Tu spat out two words, "Go back."
"Where to?"
"Go to the Loulan Ruins. We'll talk about other things after the storm!"
After Tieh Tu finished speaking, he immediately turned his camel around and madly ran towards the Loulan Ruins area.
Thinking of the storm from the previous night, Gao Fei obviously wasn't stupid enough to continue moving forward. He immediately turned around and chased after Tieh Tu with Ye Xinshang.
The distance between the two places was about three to five miles, and the camel could only run for about ten minutes.
As if sensing the impending storm, the six camels ran down the dune on all fours without any urging.
When Ye Xinshang finally arrived in front of the Loulan Ruins with his camels and supplies, the message from the big storm finally arrived.
