Chapter 16 Seven-Star Longyuan Sword! Guide An Liman
In a small town in the desert.
A group of people from the archaeological team came here.
Shirley Yang also transported a large amount of supplies from the lighthouse country, including a large amount of compressed food, tents and sleeping bags, dust-proof glasses and headscarves, and firearms and weapons.
This town is closest to Bosten Lake.
Hu Bayi found a few locals and asked them who was familiar with desert geography, and expressed his desire to hire him as a guide.
"Ah, you want to enter the desert at this time?" The local asked in surprise when he heard that they wanted to enter the desert.
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Hu Bayi was confused.
"No, this is the windy season. No one dares to enter the desert during this season."
"Fellow, we are members of the national archaeological team. We have a mission to enter the desert. We need a guide."
"Hey, you outsiders just don't listen to advice. If you must go in, you can only find An Liman. We only have An Liman here, and you dare to enter the desert during the windy season."
On the recommendation of the fellow villager, the archaeological team came to the place where the old man Anliman lived.
No one remembers An Liman’s real name. Everyone calls him ‘An Liman’, which means the living map in the desert.
An Liman, an old man with a pipe in his mouth, kept shaking his head: "No, it's the windy season. If you go into the desert, Hu Da, he will be blamed!"
"Brother, please be accommodating. We are from the National Archaeological Team and we have an important task here." Professor Chen stood up and said, and showed the relevant documents.
However, An Liman still shook his head and refused to do anything.
Finally, Shirley Yang came out.
"An Liman, as long as you come to be our guide, I will pay double the price for all the animals you have here. And as long as you come back from the desert, these camels will still be yours, and the money will also be yours!"
< br>
An Liman hesitated, but finally agreed. He knelt on the ground, facing the western sky, and recited strange scriptures.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Fatty Wang walked over and asked him puzzledly.
An Liman glanced at him and said, "I am begging Hu Da for forgiveness. You will be blamed by Hu Da for entering the desert during the windy season."
"Hey! Is this useless guy Hu Da as powerful as Guanyin Bodhisattva?" the fat man asked nonchalantly.
An Liman's face darkened and he no longer wanted to talk to him.
"Fat man!"
Hu Bayi shouted helplessly.
So, everyone put the supplies on the camel.
An Liman also brought a lot of bean cakes and salt. Fatty Wang helped him move the supplies and asked in confusion: "Old man, is this what we eat in the desert?"
"Well, you can eat it if you want, but old man Hu Da thinks it's better to leave these bean cakes and salt for the camels!"
Hu Bayi and Chu Jian next to them burst into laughter.
"You guys are laughing your ass off." Fatty Wang was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but said angrily.
……
The supplies carried this time can last for about a month in the desert. The amount of clean water is less, only ten days' supply. However, some water resources can be replenished in the oases and underground rivers halfway.
After everything was ready, everyone got on the camels and set off in a grand way.
The first part of the trip is to start from Bosten Lake to the southwest and walk westward along the Kongque River channel for a distance until we find the ancient river channel going south.
After arriving in the desert, everyone discovered that it was not that easy to walk here.
In the desert, at a glance, there is yellow sand everywhere, and it is impossible to tell the specific direction.
There was also the scorching sun in the sky, which was constantly scorching the earth. Everyone was drowsy from the sun, their mouths were dry, and they almost fell off the camels.
At this time, An Liman's role came to light. He could always judge the direction of the Kongque River based on some Populus euphratica shrubs on the ground.
In this section of the ancient river channel of the Kongque River, some riverbeds have not yet dried up. There are countless sea creatures scattered around. There are also some small fish in the water and a group of red-billed gulls on the bank.
The archaeological team walked along the southwest direction.
Soon we arrived in the black desert.
According to the old man An Liman, there are a lot of cities and treasures buried in the Black Desert, but as long as you want to take the treasures out, you will encounter something unexpected. This is a desert cursed by Hu Da!
"Tch! What's so great about Hu Da? My fat master is not afraid of him. When I find the treasure, I will take it out and see what Hu Da can do to me?" Fatty Wang curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.
"Fat man, what are you muttering about there?"
Hu Bayi looked suspicious and asked Fatty Wang.
"Ah...nothing..."
Jiang Hua on the side showed a smile.
He is now a first-grade peak martial artist with amazing ears, so he naturally heard what the fat man said.
Along the way, he was observing.
Ye Yixin left a mark on the ground as always, secretly guiding the Wang family.
After returning from Chang'an City, Ye Yixin has been talking to Jiang Hua, listening and inquiring about what he encountered in the nine-story demon building. Jiang Hua felt a little funny, the purpose was too obvious.
It seems that the purpose of the Wang family is really the things inside the nine-story demon building.
I just don’t know, do they want to take away the red dragon armor and dragon chanting sword, or the jade orb?
There is a high probability that it will still be the Red Dragon Armor and the Dragon Sword.
Although jade orbs are precious, they are still far behind compared to these two treasures.
Jiang Hua looked at it with his golden eye.
The red dragon armor is made of the scales of the red dragon.
The defense power is amazing!
There is also the Dragon Song Sword, which is one of the top ten famous swords in ancient times!
It also has another name.
Seven Star Longyuan!
Ranked fifth among the top ten famous swords in ancient times!
Legend has it that looking down at the sword is like climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss. It is ethereal and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying on its back.
It's called "Long Yuan"!
The Seven-Star Longyuan Sword soon disappeared from the world after blooming its brilliance. Everyone thought that this sword had been lost and was buried in an unknown place.
Unexpectedly, it appeared in the nine-story demon tower and was trapped for more than two thousand years...
……
"Wang family..."
"Want Red Dragon Armor and Dragon Song Sword?"
"What do they want?"
"This belongs to my Jiang family!"
Jiang Hua took a deep breath. It seemed that things were getting more and more interesting.
Jingjue Ancient City, Wang Family, Jiang Family...
The secrets of their Jiang family seem to be very deep!
There is a mysterious relationship with these large tombs.
……
Entered the black desert.
Jiang Hua's biggest feeling was that the black desert was lifeless and he didn't see a single plant along the way.
Before, they could also see some Populus euphratica shrubs.
Although the wind and sand kept blowing, these Populus euphratica were almost flat on the ground, but they still did not fall down and stood up stubbornly.
Everyone wore sandproof glasses, sat on camels, and staggered forward. Everyone was a little tired after walking, and their mouths were dry.
Suddenly, a red glow appeared in the distant sky, reflecting the clouds on the horizon red.
Shirley Yang took off the camera, pressed the shutter, and exclaimed: "The desert is so beautiful, I want to capture it with my camera."
As for old man An Liman, his eyes showed fear.
He looked at the red clouds on the horizon and shouted: "Everyone, run quickly, the wind is going to blow in this desert."
Hu Bayi asked: "Old man, what's wrong?"
"Look, the clouds in the sky are bleeding. That's because Hu Da is angry. There's going to be a sandstorm in this desert!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense!" Fatty Wang couldn't help but say.
Jiang Hua was also shocked, but he knew better that with An Liman's ability, he would never talk nonsense. There was really going to be a sandstorm in this desert.
"Fat man, stop talking. I believe in the old man. Let's run away now, otherwise we will really be buried alive in the desert."
"Okay, Brother Jiang, I listen to you!"
An Liman, on the other hand, completely ignored the fat man's words and directly rode on the camel and ran away.
"Hey, you damn old man, how dare you leave us and run away?" Fatty Wang suddenly became furious and rushed over quickly.
"Teacher, you run away quickly, I'm watching from behind." Jiang Hua said to Professor Chen.
Professor Chen was a little dizzy from the sun. After hearing Jiang Hua's words, he understood the urgency of the matter, so he quickly followed the camel team and ran forward.
A sandstorm in this desert is a disaster!
Once a person is buried, there is basically no possibility of survival. This is not a TV series. Real natural disasters are often hundreds of times more terrifying than movies!
Their only way to survive is to rush to the ruins of Xiye Ancient City ahead.
Among the ruins of Xiye Ancient City, there can be a shelter from the wind to prevent it from being buried by wind and sand.
Jiang Hua glanced behind him and was immediately shocked.
I saw a dark yellow covering the sky and the earth behind me. The strong wind rolled up a large amount of sand and dust, forming the most terrifying natural disaster in the desert!
Sandstorm!
