The exquisite ancient city

Chen Mo stared at Yuan Qingshan and asked doubtfully: "Relics and ruins in the desert?"

Yuan Qingshan looked calm: "Yes, I went to look for the ruins afterwards, but found nothing. Based on my judgment, the ruins mentioned by the tomb robber should be the famous Niya ruins."

The Niya ruins, located deep in the Taklimakan Desert, known as the Sea of ​​Death, were first discovered by the British archaeologist Stein. Stein committed four tomb robberies in the name of archeology and stole a large number of precious stones.

cultural relics.

From the written records of those cultural relics, we finally figured out the origin of the Niya ruins. It was probably the ruins of the Jingjue Kingdom and the ancient city of Jingjue among the thirty-six countries in the ancient Western Regions.

It has been recorded in the Han Dynasty that the Jingjue Kingdom was a country with a fairly complete system and was prosperous for a while. But later, for unknown reasons, the entire Jingjue Kingdom suddenly and mysteriously disappeared into the dust of history.

Today, more than two thousand years have passed, and the glory and abandonment of Jingjue Kingdom has always been an unsolved mystery lingering in people's hearts.

In his previous life, Chen Mo had heard rumors about Jingjue Ancient City, but instead of studying history, he had read about it in some tomb-robbing adventure novels.

But Chen Mo couldn't figure out why there were magic weapons in the ruins of Jingjue Ancient City!

Could it be that immortal cultivators once existed in that mysterious ancient city?

From Yuan Qingshan's eyes, Chen Mo could tell that Yuan Qingshan was not lying. If the magic weapon was really found in Jingjue Ancient City, there must be something weird about Jingjue Ancient City.

Chen Mo looked at Yuan Qingshan and said calmly: "Take me to the ancient city of Jingjue."

Chen Mo's tone carried an unquestionable command. Yuan Qingshan thought for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay, but after you find the ancient city of Jingjue, you must let me go!"

"Yes!" Chen Mo nodded.

Three days later, an old man and a young man came to a small town on the northwest border of China, closest to the Taklimakan Desert, the Sea of ​​Death.

Yuan Qingshan said: "This is the town of Brussels. Most people who want to enter the sand sea to find out what is going on will make supplies here. Let's also make preparations and then find an experienced guide to take us in."

Chen Mo was a little confused: "Guide? Haven't you been in there before?"

Yuan Qingshan said with some embarrassment: "I went in with an archaeological team. Once we entered the desert, everything we could see was a sea of ​​sand. It was impossible to tell the difference between east, west and north. Only by asking an experienced local guide to lead the team could we

You won’t get lost.”

"Otherwise, even a transformation master will die in the desert if he gets lost and doesn't eat or drink for a month."

Chen Mo was noncommittal. With his strength, he would not be lost in the desert, but if he wanted to find the ancient city of Jingjue, it would be difficult for him to find it without someone to guide him. After all, he only has the cultivation level of Qi Condensation realm now. If he cultivates the golden elixir,

You can visit every corner of the desert in one day.

"Then let's go get supplies first, and then find a guide." Chen Mo said somewhat helplessly.

The two came to a larger store to buy dry food and water, but they met a group of seven or eight people who were also buying dry food and water. The leader was a scholar wearing glasses, about sixty years old, with a healthy body.

Healthy.

Yuan Qingshan suddenly said happily: "Professor Chen, what a coincidence!"

When those people saw Yuan Qingshan, they also expressed surprise. Professor Chen, the leader, smiled happily and said: "Mr. Yuan, we meet again! It seems that we are destined to be together!"

Yuan Qingshan smiled and said: "What are you doing? Are you preparing to enter the desert?"

Professor Chen nodded and said, "Yes, last time I was not fully prepared and my trip was in vain. This time I specially invited a few experts to go in again."

"By the way, this is Brother Hu, this is Brother Wang, and this is Miss Yang! The three of them are the experts invited by our archaeological team."

"This is Mr. Yuan. Last time we were in danger in the desert, thanks to Mr. Yuan for rescuing us. Let's get to know each other!" Professor Chen pointed to the three young people around him and introduced each other.

"Mr. Yuan, I have long admired your name!"

Among the three young men, one of them, a man with long hair, cupped his fists at Yuan Qingshan.

"Hello!" Yuan Qingshan responded politely.

Chen Mo glanced at these people. They were all ordinary people, probably a real archaeological team, but the three experts seemed a bit weird.

After being polite, Yuan Qingshan looked back at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Professor Chen, it just so happens that this little brother and I are also going in. How about we all go together?"

Professor Chen was stunned and said happily: "Okay, if Mr. Yuan is with us, we would definitely like it! What should I call this little brother?"

"Chen Mo." Chen Mo said calmly.

"It turns out to be little brother Chen Mo, but there are many dangers in the desert. Why did you go into the desert at such a young age?" Professor Chen asked with a smile.

Chen Mo knew that the other party suspected that his motives were impure, so he said: "Last time I heard Mr. Yuan talk about the various wonders in the desert, I was yearning for it, so this time I want to follow Mr. Yuan to find out."

"I see, let's go in together so we can take care of you!" Professor Chen felt relieved.

The group of people were well prepared and left the store. The man surnamed Hu said: "Now that the supplies have been bought, the next step is to find a local experienced guide. Let's go and inquire separately. We will meet at the small hotel in front later!"

"Okay!" Professor Chen and others nodded.

"We will work in groups of three and you will meet in one group. We will meet in an hour!" After the assignment, the man surnamed Hu immediately left with his two companions.

Professor Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan, let's go and ask around to see if there are any good local guides!"

"Professor Chen, actually I think the old gentleman last time was pretty good, but I don't know if I can still find him." Yuan Qingshan said.

Professor Chen shook his head and said with some regret: "That old gentleman has gone to the mainland to join his son, and he no longer serves as a guide."

Yuan Qingshan also sighed slightly: "This is quite a pity."

"It's okay. The most important thing in the town of Brussels is a good guide. We will definitely find a better one. Let's go!" Professor Chen was very optimistic.

An hour later, everyone gathered at the agreed place.

After talking, everyone locked on a common target, Uncle An, who is known as the living map in the desert.

It's a pity that Uncle An has a weird temperament and refuses to go in. He also made some alarmist remarks, saying that it was the windy season and there would be black sand storms in the desert. He said that the goddess would be angry and bring disasters to those who entered.

No one can get out.

In the end, it took a lot of coercion and inducement from the man surnamed Hu to get this guy to agree to lead the team into the desert.

But this guy is indeed a living map in the desert. A group of people rode camels and walked for several days after entering the desert. Everyone was safe. Although they encountered several dangers, they had no surprises and got through it safely.

, Chen Mo and Yuan Qingshan didn't take any action at all.
