Zhao Shitu said triumphantly: "It's not difficult to detect. One is his actions. When he challenged the Shangguan in the tavern, he was extremely bold. At first I thought he was just out of control, but later I found out that he was not reckless. He must have shot Before, there was already a way to protect himself. The second is his words, although he is concerned about Brother Yan, his attitude is different from that of Brother Li, and the repeated slips of the tongue are all out of anxiety."

Ming Yuezhu asked suspiciously: "Can you tell based on these alone?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Actually, there is another more important reason. I was burying the dead outside the village, and when I saw the white-capped snow-capped mountains, I suddenly thought of an old event, which was about the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui."

Ming Yuezhu listened with great interest, and the other two also rode their horses to surround Zhao Shitu.Luo Huan was the only one left to walk in front of the team, still not looking back.

Although he didn't look back, he slowed down unconsciously and straightened his spine.Zhao Shitu laughed secretly in his heart, and continued: "At the beginning of Emperor Wen's founding of the country, in order to calm down the five barbarians of foreign countries, stabilize the country and appease the people, he went to war in the northwest, and the martial arts forces also raised their troops to help. After Emperor Wen unified the world, he used four rare Baofeng rewards the four families who contributed the most at that time."

Ming Yuezhu said: "I know that, Emperor Wen's move is aimed at restricting martial arts in the form of rewards and consolidating the foundation of the imperial court. These four families have won the emperor's rewards and gained fame in the world, and the Golden Sword Yuan family is one of them. "

Zhao Shitu said: "Not bad."

Ming Yuezhu said again: "But that happened more than two hundred years ago, so what does it have to do with today's situation?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Of course it has something to do with it, because one of the four treasures is a precious garment woven from high mountain snow silk."

Ming Yuezhu finally showed surprise, and asked: "You mean, Mr. Yan's gold-threaded robe originally belonged to the Yuan family?"

Zhao Shitu nodded and said, "Very likely."

Ming Yuezhu said: "But why is Mr. Yan holding the gold thread clothes, does it mean that Housekeeper Jia doesn't know about it?"

Zhao Shitu lifted his chin, cast his eyes forward, and said in a voice: "Little devil, I know you heard every word. The two ears on your neck are higher than the two ears in your arms."

The person and the dog walking in front were excited at the same time, the old dog barked continuously, and the person also complained: "Unfortunately, it is useless for you to ask me, I don't know anything, I'd better wait until you see Mr. Ask him."

Zhao Shitu shook his head and sighed, thinking, if he could see Yan Wuhua immediately, there would be so much trouble.

The old dog barked for a while, and his voice became lower and hoarse. It was too hot in the desert. The scorching sun would steam people from head to toe, and the dog was not spared. The old dog's fur had been shaved. Short, still doesn't help.

Luo Huan shook his arms to cheer up the guy curled up in his arms: "Since I entered the hospital, you were the first one to see me. It took me a day and a night to cure your fever. Well, since you have lived two years longer, don't disappoint my hard work and continue to live."

Facing the sun with cloudy eyes, the old dog whimpered a few times, wondering if he understood Luo Huan's words.

But Zhao Shitu understood, he heard every word, and thought, when this kid was an apprentice in the medical center two years ago, he was only so old, so why did he end up in the world.

The people around him seem to have a big yard in their hearts, and there are many stories hidden in the yard.

No matter how big the yard in my heart is, it is not as big as the land under my feet. In a deserted place, the distance between yards seems to be closer.Zhao Shitu rode his horse and walked a few steps, caught up with Luo Huan, turned his head and said: "Young Xia Luo, we are friends after all, if you have any difficulties, we will definitely help you."

Luo Huan turned his head away, and didn't even give him a sideways glance: "Hmph, I don't need your help. If it wasn't for saving people, who would go with you."

Zhao Shitu hit a nail, and retreated resentfully, wondering: "Why every time I give my heart to others, they always give me back a nail."

Ming Yuezhu said: "Because you can only talk to yourself, but you can't look at people's faces."

Zhao Shitu said: "Could it be that you know better than me?"

Ming Yuezhu said: "That's natural, I've seen more faces than I'm afraid you've eaten rice."

Just as Zhao Shitu was about to ask, Mingyuezhu had already walked far away, moved closer to Luo Huan, and whispered a few words, the stubborn young man didn't dodge, but relaxed his shoulders and turned his head to answer her words.

Zhao Shitu turned back and said to Shangguan, "They don't pay any attention to me, it seems that I can only chat with you."

Shangguan Qing raised his eyes and looked away at him, and said indifferently: "Speak less and conserve your energy."

If it wasn't for the lack of excess water in his body to squander, Zhao Shitu would really cry.

After several hours passed like this, the sun slowly climbed to the middle of the sky, the sky was bright, layers of clouds rolled to the sky, and a layer of white mist rose from the junction of the sky and the earth, and flickering could be seen faintly in the mist.

Zhao Shitu pointed out: "Look at those shadows, do they look like city walls?"

Everyone followed the reputation, and indeed they could vaguely discern the outline of the city wall in the sky. On the opposite side of the wall, half of the spire and the broken eaves were exposed, all wrapped in the white mist, like a reflection in water, twisting in the heat wave, It appears and disappears from time to time, making it hard to see clearly.

Brother Li said: "The ghosts that confuse travelers are what I said yesterday."

The shadow walked in several places in the sky, but they were different. Sometimes it became clear and discernible, as if it was only a few miles away, and sometimes it became faint and blurred, as if it was hidden among the white clouds.Mingyuezhu looked around, and sighed, "Loulan outside the Great Wall, the city of a thousand cities, and the path of ten thousand paths, so this is what I was talking about."

"Is there really a ghost...?" Luo Huan muttered in a low voice, hugged the old dog in his arms tighter, and fed him a few sips of water.

The old dog poked its head out of his arms, yelled and barked, but pointed in a direction without a shadow.

In the hot and dry desert, the shadows of the city seemed to be a symbol of ease and tranquility, alluring. Zhao Shitu concentrated his eyes, turned the horse's head, ignored the shadows, and continued walking towards the empty front.

After walking for a while, as expected, the nearby shadows faded out of sight first, like water under the sun, disappearing without leaving a trace.At the same time, the landform began to change, and the feathery hooks on the surface of the dunes became deeper, criss-crossing, winding, and spreading out on the boundless land.

Zhao Shitu pondered and said: "We have already seen the 'City of a Thousand Cities', this is the 'Path of Ten Thousand Paths'."

Luo Huan was terribly frightened by the phantom, his face turned pale, he had long forgotten about being angry, and turned his head to ask, "What are these deep paths?"

Zhao Shitu said: "From the appearance, it is a ditch for water diversion."

Ming Yuezhu drove her horse to the two of them and asked, "There are so many?"

Zhao Shitu nodded and said: "Loulan was once prosperous, with a large population and a luxurious life. Naturally, water was brought into the city from all directions. At that time, the desert was far less harsh than it is now. Later, punishment from the sky and sudden changes in the sky and landform cut off the waterway. It was turned into a deserted city. Now even if we get there, only ghosts greet us."

"Ghost..." Luo Huan's face turned even paler. In order to hide his fear, he ran to the front of the team alone. After walking for a while, he suddenly froze and pulled the reins tightly without warning.

The horse hissed, and Zhao Shitu was startled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Huan tremblingly said: "Ghost, it's really a ghost..."

Zhao Shitu also saw the situation on the road ahead.

He also opened his eyes in disbelief. What Luo Huan saw was not a ghost, but a human, and a dead person at that.

More than a dozen dead people!

If it was the people from the early days, they would have turned into dry bones long ago, but these people still have flesh and ragged clothes.

There was thick blood on the ground, mixed with rotting meat and torn cloth, seeping into the sand, making people sick.

Zhao Shitu jumped off his horse and came among them, resisting the stench, squatting down to check their luggage, hoping to find clues of their identity.

He touched a corpse's waist a few times, and found a square token. He quickly took it and held it up in front of him.

The pattern on the dead man's token was actually exactly the same as the one on his own body.

He stood up abruptly, turned to his companions, and said loudly: "These people are from the Yuan family's Golden Knife Sect!"

Ming Yuezhu asked in surprise: "Why do people from the Yuan family appear here?"

No one could answer her question. At this moment, the old dog in Luo Huan's arms suddenly trembled.

The old dog smelled the smell of decay and suddenly coughed violently. His skinny body shook uncontrollably and turned into a piece of rag. His cloudy eyes were round and bloodshot from the upper and lower eyelids. It looked like a ghost possessed. .

"What's wrong with you, hey, wake up!"

No matter how Luo Huan called, the old dog didn't respond. Luo Huan was so anxious that he groped and pressed the side of its neck with two fingers, but it got strength from where it came from, kicked its hind legs, and broke free from Luo Huan's arms and fell to the ground. I twitched a few times, tilted my head, and didn't move anymore.
