As soon as Anliman asked the camel to squat, Professor Chen woke up in a daze. When Lao Hu and Shirley Yang saw this, they immediately stepped forward to help Professor Chen down from the camel.
Professor Chen looked around and was in an unfamiliar environment. He confirmed that he had successfully escaped from the dangerous place.
However, when he thought of Hao Aiguo, his heart was instantly ashen.
"I want to see Aiguo, please let me see him again!"
"Please let me see him again, Xiao Hu."
Professor Chen's face was distorted, and he begged Hu Bayi with a desperate look.
Shirley Yang looked at Professor Chen, her heart full of sadness and helplessness. She knew that the bodies of Hao Aiguo and Chu Jian were still in the valley, burning in the raging fire, and their bones were probably turned into ashes long ago.
She looked at Professor Chen with a guilty conscience and could only tell this white lie, hoping that Professor Chen could accept this cruel fact.
"Professor Chen, we couldn't take out Professor Hao's body. It was too dangerous in there."
"And Chu Jian also died. He didn't escape either."
Professor Chen was heartbroken when he heard that Chu Jian and Hao Aiguo had both died and their bodies had not been taken out of the valley. He fainted again.
Before entering the Jingjue Ancient City, almost all of his students had been killed. Now only Ye Yixin was left. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Shirley Yang sighed. At present, she could only let Professor Chen gradually accept this cruel reality. I hope he can hold on.
Lao Hu looked at the unconscious Professor Chen with helplessness. He understood Lao Li's approach.
Since he was asking for his own death, let's not worry about it. It's just a pity that Professor Chen has to send off his black hair.
Li Daoxuan looked at Shirley Yang who was still immersed in sadness, and said softly:
"Rest as soon as possible, we are about to enter the Jingjue Ancient City."
"The next journey will be more dangerous, there is no time to be sad."
Shirley Yang nodded slightly, found a flat stone, leaned on it, and began to rest.
After a long night, it was dawn. A faint pink appeared in the sky, as if announcing the arrival of a new day. The sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the earth, bringing infinite hope and vitality.
Li Daoxuan looked at the Jingjue Ancient City, which was becoming clearer and clearer in the distance, and shouted to the people who were still resting:
"It's dawn, let's set off as soon as possible."
The others were awakened from their sleep by Li Daoxuan's shout, opened their hazy eyes, prepared to pack their luggage, and headed for the Jingjue Ancient City.
Professor Chen woke up from his coma by Li Daoxuan's shout, and silently looked at the rising sun, his eyes full of grief and remembrance.
In the bright sunshine, he seemed to see Hao Aiguo, Chu Jian and Satipeng leaving.
Their figures loomed in the sky, as if they were watching him, smiling at him, and saying goodbye to him.
Professor Chen took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm and steady.
He turned around and faced the rising sun. He knew that he had to move forward to pursue their dreams and complete their unfinished archaeological career.
His steps became more determined, and his heart was full of strength and confidence.
When everyone packed their luggage and prepared to leave, An Liman walked up to Lao Hu and Li Daoxuan and said:
"You go, I can't go in."
"I'll wait for you here!"
Li Daoxuan looked at An Liman in surprise, because he had never seen An Liman like this.
Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, thinking secretly in his heart. An Liman, the old man, seems to be of no use now. Although this old man is a little unreliable, he is much better than Hao Aiguo, and it can be regarded as a fate.
Li Daoxuan thought about it and decided to take him back with him.
"Anliman, then you stay here. We will take you back after we come out."
As soon as Li Daoxuan finished speaking, Anliman immediately crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed deeply, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
Lao Hu walked to Anliman, patted his shoulder, looked into his eyes and said:
"Since you have made up your mind, we will not force you. But you have to promise us that you must wait for us here and don't let us down, how about it?"
Anliman nodded vigorously, turned around and began to pack up the supplies. Throughout the process, his movements seemed very firm, as if to show his determination.
Lao Hu and Li Daoxuan looked at his back, and an inexplicable feeling surged in their hearts.
They knew that Anliman must have his own reasons for making this decision.
Although this old man was timid and dragged his feet along the way, as a friend, they respected his choice and also hoped that he would be safe.
After Lao Hu finished talking with An Liman, he turned around and looked at the people who were about to set off.He said in a voice:
"Jingjue Ancient City is not far from here, we can just walk forward. Everyone should try to reduce the weight and travel light."
He paused, his expression slightly solemn:
"Xiaoye has not woken up yet, I'm afraid I have to carry him on my back."
"Sister Yingzi, I'm afraid I have to trouble you this time."
Yingzi nodded silently, she knew that this was the only way to do it under such circumstances.
Everyone packed their luggage and took firm steps towards the legendary Jingjue Ancient City.
Along the way, there were only dilapidated buildings in Jingjue Ancient City, and part of it had been buried by yellow sand.
The fat man muttered as he walked:
"Old Hu, Old Li, look here, there is nothing but sand and broken stones, not even a whole piece of things."
Shirley Yang looked at the ruined buildings around, and then explained to the fat man:
"Legend has it that this city was destroyed by war, and the coalition forces attacked the royal city."
"Just when the battle was about to end, the black sandstorm buried the ancient city of Jingjue, along with the residents and the army in the city, in the yellow sand."
"It was not until the 19th century that the flow of the desert brought it back to the light of day."
After walking for a while, we finally reached the center of the city.
Under the shining sun, a towering stone tower stood in the center of the city, attracting attention.
There was a huge stone statue of an eye on top of the stone tower, which was lifelike.
Old Hu pointed to the stone tower and said to everyone:
"Look, does the top of the stone tower look like an eye?"
Everyone looked in the direction of his gesture, and the stone statue of the eye on the stone tower was clearly visible. Shirley Yang stared at the stone statue of an eye on the stone tower in the distance, and couldn't help but be ecstatic.
She was secretly happy in her heart, it seemed that they had really reached their destination.
"Old Li, the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue should be under that stone tower."
She analyzed calmly.
Li Daoxuan nodded and said slowly:
"If the Queen of Jingjue wanted to build a tomb for herself, she must find a place that can show the concentration of her power. And that stone tower happens to be in the center of the city."
He paused and continued:
"There is also a stone statue of an eye on top of the stone tower. The symbol of the Jingjue Kingdom is the eye. Therefore, it is most appropriate to build a tomb here."
