The world of ghosts blowing out lights.

Regarding Shirley Yang's question, Lin Chen just stood quietly without any other movements.

He wanted to wait for the fat man to introduce himself first.

Seeing that the American woman looked down on him, the fat man curled his lips and said angrily: "Xinjiang is nothing. Back then, I went to the desert of Xinjiang to suppress bandits. I killed the bandits in the Niya Oasis, and even killed the bandit leader with my own hands." . Take a look, this is the trophy." After that, he took out the jade pendant and waved it in front of everyone, "Have you seen this before, you guys?"

Lin Chen and Hu Bayi were laughing next to them, saying that what the fat man said was all caused by his father. When did it become something he did.

But Shirley Yang and the others ignored what the fat man said, but stared blankly at the jade pendant in the fat man's hand.

Shirley Yang originally disagreed with Fatty joining the archaeological team, but after seeing Fatty's jade pendant, she agreed without hesitation to give us both a reward of 10,000 US dollars each, and more if we could find the ancient city in the hinterland of the desert. Double. However, the money cannot be cashed until we return from Xinjiang.

But at this time, Shirley Yang's eyes were on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen is a bit too young, so she can't trust Lin Chen a bit.

Lin Chen smiled, and said in a pretentious manner: "Looking at the winding mountain when looking for dragons and dividing gold, one level of entanglement is one level of pass. If there are eight levels of danger in closing the door, there will be no yin and yang gossip. Heaven and earth have spiritual energy since ancient times, and they are gathered in mountains and rivers." , appearing in the wind and clouds, is called the dragon vein, where there must be a treasure; touch the gold to check the eight directions with a compass, divide yin and yang, and survey the veins of mountains and rivers, which is called "dividing gold"; , It’s called searching for dragons; with the two skills of finding dragons with gold, you can go to the world;”

Hu Bayi looked at Lin Chen blankly, saying that Lin Chen sounded like he was an expert.

Shirley Yang looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled face and said, "You don't seem to be doing Tianxing Feng Shui. What is this?"

"This formula has been passed down from generation to generation and has lasted for thousands of years. Fellow practitioners call it: The Secret of Seeking the Dragon."

Lin Chen didn't know anything about Feng Shui at all. He only knew that the "Xunlong Jue" he heard before was very easy to fool people.

Seeking the Dragon Jue Hu Bayi looked at Lin Chen in surprise. He finally knew why he felt that what Lin Chen said was familiar to him. It turned out that Lin Chen was the successor of the Seeking Dragon Jue.

Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang and said, "Miss Shirley Yang, Lin Chen is the successor of Dragon-Xunjue, which relies on compass and earth veins to determine the location of ancient tombs, so it can be regarded as an expert at finding tombs."

Shirley Yang nodded half-understood, then didn't bother about Lin Chen's background, and directly agreed to Lin Chen's joining.

After the three of Lin Chen joined the group, Professor Chen introduced the fat man's jade pendant to the three of them.

The jade pendant of the fat man is a relic of the ancient country of Jingjue. It has the characters of the ancient country of Jingjue on it, although it is not possible to translate what the symbols on it represent at the moment.

But it should be of great help for this trip to the ancient country of Jingjue.

Shirley Yang wanted to buy the jade pendant in the fat man's hand, but the fat man gritted his teeth and refused to sell it. After all, judging from the introduction just now, this jade pendant can be said to be a rare commodity.

In this way, Lin Chen and the others joined this expedition team composed of scholars and photographers. Hu Bayi became the leader, and Lin Chen and Fatty became the vice-captains.The matter of going to the desert was finalized like this.

The westbound train was speeding across the vast western land. Lin Chen and the three of them were chatting leisurely on the train. The first stop of the archaeological team was Xi'an, where they would meet up with several students of Professor Chen, and then go to Urumqi. , the expedition equipment will be shipped directly there.

Hao Aiguo walked in and looked at Hu Bayi: "Comrade Hu, the professor wants to discuss something with you, come here."

Hu Ba nodded, then approved a piece of clothing, called Lin Chen, and followed Hao Aiguo out.

Arriving in the next car, Professor Chen and Shirley Yang were looking at a map.

Hao Aiguo poured a glass of water each for Lin Chen and Hu Bayi.

Professor Chen motioned for the two of them to take their seats, and then said: "We will arrive in Xi'an tomorrow morning. After picking up my three students, everyone will be here. You are our captain, and I want to discuss the route with you two in advance. The problem."

Shirley Yang also said beside him: "Yes, Mr. Lin, Mr. Hu, I discussed with the professor and planned to start from Bosten Lake and go south to find the ancient Kongque River channel, and then enter the depths of the desert through the ancient Kongque River channel. We are going south along the Duan River to find the ruins of Jingjue Ancient City, and we would like to ask for your opinion."

Lin Chen didn't speak. He listened to Hu Bayi for such things, because he wanted to follow Hu Bayi so that he could find the mysterious fragments of godhead.

Hu Bayi saw Lin Chen and had nothing to say. Then he looked at Shirley Yang and said: "Miss Yang, although I am the team leader, we are not qualified to participate in the decision-making of the marching route. You have determined the route and goals. We It is your responsibility to lead everyone to the place, in other words, it is your job as the shopkeeper, and it is our job as the coolie."

Seeing that Lin Chen and the others had no objections, Shirley Yang didn't say anything.

Everyone discussed some details, and then went to rest. After the conversation on the train this time, I vaguely felt that these people are very determined, and they may not have to run back after entering the desert for a few days.

In Xi'an, I met the rest of our archaeological team, all students led by Professor Chen, the simple-looking Sa Dipeng, the tall Chu Jian, and the female student Ye Yixin.

Including the previous five people, there are nine people in total. Arrived in Xinjiang.

After arriving in Xinjiang, Hu Bayi contacted Liu Gang, a former comrade in the army. He is a descendant of the 359th Brigade of the army that entered Xinjiang. He was born and raised in Xinjiang, but he was not very familiar with the locals and wanted to find someone who was familiar with desert geography. It was not easy to find a local guide. Finally, through Liu Gang's friends, he found an old man who was in the livestock business.

The old man's name was no longer called out. People called him An Liman, which means a living map in the desert.

An Liman's words are indeed very funny, and it is very pleasant to listen to his words.

The old man An Liman held his pipe in his mouth and shook his head non-stop: "No, no, it's the windy season, why not go into the desert, old man Huda, that's the one to blame."

Everyone was soft-spoken, but An Liman still didn't go.

In the end, with no other option, Hu Bayi asked Professor Chen to show him the documents, and then explained to him that we were cadres sent by the state to work, and the local comrades must cooperate. If An Liman does not serve as our guide, we will find The police confiscated his camels and donkeys, making it impossible for him to do business.

This kind of thing can be said to be what bandits do, but there is no other way. There is no other way to convince An Liman.

Shirley Yang also told him that as long as he would be our guide, we would be willing to pay double the price for all his animals. When we come back from the desert, these animals will still be his, and so will the money.

The old man An Liman had no choice but to agree, after all, he could not be against the country if he followed suit.

But he made a request: "Don't drive cars. Hu Da doesn't like machines. There are many camels. Hu Da likes camels."

At this point, Hu Bayi and An Liman agreed that camels are much more reliable than cars in the desert.

Old Man Anliman selected twenty camels, and on the day of departure, he loaded all our equipment and supplies on the camels, and also brought a large amount of bean cakes and salt.

However, the three of Lin Chen and the others just bought a little symbolically and brought the supplies with them, and the other supplies were all in Lin Chen's storage ring.

Our nine-person team is not so much an archaeological team, but rather an ancient camel team. The amount of food carried lasts for less than a month, and the clean water is enough for more than ten days. As well as the underground river, fresh water can also be replenished.In addition, there are several large leather pockets of yogurt soup. When you are too thirsty in the desert, one sip can quench your thirst, which can hold ten sips of water.Coupled with the various equipment and equipment of the expedition team, each camel bears a heavy load. When traveling, the personnel can only rely on two legs, walk half of the way, and ride half of the camel.

The first section of the itinerary starts from Bosten Lake to the southwest and walks westward along the Peacock River until you find the ancient river channel heading south. Bosten can be translated as standing. The origin of this name is because there are three mountains in the middle of the lake standing in the lake. This lake was also called the Fish Sea in ancient times. It is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. The Kongque River originates from here and flows to the depths of Taklimakan.

In the first two days after departure, the three students of the professor were in high spirits. They were all young. They entered the desert for the first time in their lives. They felt it was both fresh and fun. They imitated the whistle of the old man An Liman commanding the camels, and they chased me. Playing around and singing.

According to the old man An Liman, this initial section of the journey is not considered a desert at all. This section of the ancient channel of the Kongque River existed before the river changed its course. The riverbed in some areas has not completely dried up, and the surrounding sand is also very shallow. There are sporadic small lakes and seas everywhere, and occasionally a small group of red-billed gulls and red-billed pochards swim on the water. Along the bend of the Kongque River, there are small oases where Elaeagnus angustifolia grows. , Populus euphratica and some shrubs.

Once we cross this river bend, we have truly entered the desert. The Kongque River changes its course to the southeast, towards which are Loulan, Lop Nur, and Danya. We then head southwest and enter the "Black Desert." Old man An Liman said that the Black Desert was created by Hu Da's punishment of greedy pagans. There are countless cities and treasures buried in the desert, but no one can bring them out from the Black Desert, even if you only take one. Gold coins will also lose their way in the black desert and be buried in the sand forever, never to be found again.

The most spectacular thing in the desert is the battlefield left over from the ancient times, after being submerged by the wind and sand, it will have a different taste.

There are also those thousand-year-old Populus euphratica trees that live in the desert. It can be said to be a miracle of nature that they can survive for so long in such a place with no water resources.

Because in order to avoid the blazing sun during the day, everyone basically sleeps during the day and sets out at night.

An Liman knelt down and prayed toward the sky every day, and Lin Chen couldn't figure out what kind of god he was asking for.

On this day, after An Liman finished praying, he quickly jumped up, packed his things and planned to leave.

Looking at him in such a hurry, it was very scary.

Many camels were also very panicked, because animals are naturally more sensitive to disasters than humans.

Lin Chen looked at the crowd and shouted, "Get on the camel, the desert storm is coming."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he got on the camel, and when the other people heard Lin Chen's shout, they also quickly got on the camel, and then started to move.
