Seeing me tremble for a moment, looking around with horror in my eyes, Yu Wenying also looked around, and immediately understood what was coming, and smiled faintly: "Miss Yan, don't panic."

I looked back at him.

He glanced around and said, "When we were temporarily stationed here in the past two days, I have seen everyone around me, and I have not seen anything unusual. Moreover, the lake we were stationed before was actually a distance away from here."

"oh……"

In other words, the place where Miaoyan saw the skeleton was not here.

I took a breath, but still couldn't relax completely, and said, "Then, where did the water come from?"

Yu Wenying looked at the stone pillar in front of us again, and then said, "Actually, Miss Yan should have seen that the water in the lake here before did not flow, it was not live water, so it should not flow from somewhere on the ground."

I pondered for a moment and said, "Did it come out from the ground?"

He nodded and said, "It should be."

"ah……"

I nodded, and only in this way can I explain why there are so many stone pillars at the bottom of this lake that have not been washed away by the water flow, and the shapes of these stone pillars are thick at the top and thin at the bottom.

I thought about it again and said, "Since that's the case, then this canyon should have a place to the underground."

Yu Wenying said: "Not bad."

"Where?"

"Not found yet," he said, looking into the distance, but because the sky is completely dark now, no matter how far it is, you can only see dozens of feet away, and the rest are pitch black. He said: "From the terrain of this place, it should be a place far away from the outlet, and the terrain should not be like this."

I said, "So, we need to go further?"

"right."

"oh……"

According to my impression of the lake before, I was afraid I would have to go a long way, so I suddenly felt a little hesitant - because the purpose of my visit here this time was not to explore what was under this "ghost town". I came to find Nangong Lizhu and took back Miaoyan.

If you delay too much time here, it will be detrimental to the cold.

As if he saw the hesitation in my eyes, Yu Wenying said, "Miss Yan, don't you want to know what's here?"

“Or, not.”

"It seems that Miss Yan has some important things to do, and these things are stronger than your curiosity."

"That's right."

"I understand what Miss Yan means. Princess Miaoyan followed the Iron Cavalry King to Wuwei before, and the mother and daughter were connected to each other. During this period, you must be very worried."

“…”

"But--"

"But what?"

"But I think everyone in the world can ignore the matter here, but Miss Yan really has to care."

“…”

I hesitated for a moment.

Indeed, I not only want to know what is under this ghost town, how the Longxi Army was destroyed, and what happened to this army named Zhu, but also has the responsibility to figure it out.

But my daughter...

Yu Wenying said: "Miss Yan, it's only a day or two sooner or later. What's more, so many of us are stationed here, do you think the people in Wuwei will not notice it at all?"

“…”

I hesitated for a while.

“One more thing.”

"What?"

I looked up at Yu Wenying, but he didn't look at me, but looked up at the sky that was like a dark curtain, with stars on it, like countless bright pearls.

Yu Wenying said: "Pei Yuanxiu's ten-year fortune."

My heart suddenly pounded.

If something has been buried in my heart that makes me unable to sleep or eat, this should be the case except for the poison in Qinghan's body.

The words Xie Feng said when he met Yuwen Kang in Tianjin were like an invisible sting that had been pierced in my heart. Pei Yuanxiu’s ten-year fortune, whether true or false, was indeed something I could not let go, because the “There are three emperors” has been confirmed by me with my own eyes. If even this prophecy is true, then why are we busy and Qinghan dragging our sick body around?

My breathing was tense: "What do you want to say?"

Yu Wenying was silent for a long time before slowly turning her head to look at me: "Do you really think there is no problem at all?"

“…”

I can't speak.

A gust of wind blew over with yellow sand. I wonder if it was because of the many stone pillars under the canyon and some strange rocks. The wind was particularly strange, and it seemed that many people were crying around. The coldness and fear suddenly eroded into my heart, making me shivering.

Looking at my pale face, Yu Wenying sighed and said, "Forget it, Miss Yan should take a break early."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

I was still standing there, unable to move for a long time, and my heart was as turbid as a slumber. Su Su came over and helped me back to the camp and sat in front of the bonfire before I calmed down a little.

The wind kept on the verge of "ghost crying" made many people creepy. Everyone got into their tents and fell asleep early because there were still some hardships waiting for us ahead tomorrow.

And I was sleeping in a comfortable tent, Susu was standing by my bed. I could hear the sound of her falling asleep quickly after being tired for a day. Her long breath seemed to urge me to fall asleep earlier, but the sound of the wind outside never heard.

Until I entered my dream in a vague way, I could still hear that cry.

Painful, desperate, shrill crying... These cryings lingered me all night. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I even felt a little numb in my ears. I couldn't recover after sitting on the couch for a long time. Su Su came over and poured me a glass of water and said, "Didn't you sleep well?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, the wind is very loud."

"The wind sound?" She looked at me in surprise: "There is no wind sound, the weather is very good."

I took a sip of water, and after hearing what she said, I walked out of bed strangely, lifted the tent and saw that it was really good outside, there was no wind, and the sun was out.

Su Su said, "Miss is afraid she's dreaming?"

“…”

I was a little dazed by the sun. I stood at the door for a long time and couldn't speak. After a while, I said, "Maybe it is."

I didn't say much, and after washing up, I walked out, and the people outside had already prepared breakfast. After eating, everyone packed up their own things. I didn't say anything else, and followed them along the canyon.

The road below is indeed a bit difficult to walk.

The ground is covered with gravel and ravines are crisscrossing.

There was no way to ride a horse, so I could only walk forward slowly by myself. After walking like this for most of the day, I gradually realized that the stone pillars standing on the ground seemed much thinner than what I saw before.

On both sides of the canyon, you can see some caves, and there are still thick ice layers at the entrances.

I vaguely knew that these caves should be the source of the lake water I saw before, so the closer they were to these caves, the thinner and shorter the stone pillars were washed away.

But I still find it very strange.

How come there are so many stone pillars?

In the afternoon, we finally reached the exit of this canyon.

I originally thought that I would have suddenly realized when I walked out of this canyon. When I walked out, I realized suddenly. But the situation in front of us really shocked us, because on the other side of the canyon, there was a huge basin valley terrain, and there was no side view within a few miles. I could only see the surrounding stone walls standing tall like mountains, almost no side view.

Our group stood at the entrance of the canyon, looking at the situation in front of us, and stopped moving for a while.

The wind swept over the dust and sand, confusing everyone's eyes.

I raised my hand to block my eyes and looked at the one in front of me. Even if there was no map, it was the first time I had walked to sort out. I also knew that we had reached the bottom of the previous lake.

And the bottom of the lake is not that calm.

Here, countless stone pillars stand like trees, as before, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. They have been eroded by the lake for many years. They have been sharpened very smoothly, but they are much smaller, and some are almost only one person tall. Although I have seen a lot before, I suddenly saw so many standing in front of me. When I looked at it, a chill suddenly rose in my heart, and subconsciously shivered.

Su Su seemed to get goosebumps when she saw it, and she couldn't help but pull my sleeve.

"Miss, why does this place look so cunning?"

“…”

"It's like a tombstone."

When she said this, I felt why the chill surged in my heart the moment I saw this place.

Indeed, it looks like a forest of steles here.

However, in the distant northwest, how could there be a forest of steles at the bottom of a lake that has never seen the sun for many years?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a step forward. Just as I was about to walk over and look, Yu Wenying behind me suddenly said, "Let's wait!"

I stopped and looked back at him: "Mr. Yuwen, what's wrong?"

He raised his hand and signaled that we should not leave, but took a step forward, looked at it, and suddenly took something out from behind. After a closer look, it turned out to be a compass.

He actually carried a compass with him.

If we go to such a wasteland, we really need a compass to guide the direction, and it is not uncommon to carry it. But I remember that when we were walking on the Gobi, we never saw him take out this thing. Most of the time, he judged his position by light and shadow during the day and by stars at night.
