Chapter 15 [Return to rest, the journey comes to an end temporarily]
It is not easy to travel through the vast desert.
Even if you are fully prepared, an accident may happen at any time and you may die in the desert.
The sun was scorching, scorching the earth, and the air became distorted.
Danbi’s archaeological team had just set out to search for the ancient city of Jingjue, and they were like headless flies.
The return trip is much easier now.
After resting for a whole day.
Taking advantage of the night, the temperature is cool and even slightly chilly.
Yang An and his party filled up all the water bottles they could, and then set off towards the route they came from.
The route is very clear.
As long as they don't get lost and have enough water, they will be able to get out.
More than half of the food was lost due to the loss of a few camels, but it was still sufficient, and everyone was not happy.
The food is abundant because four team members died.
It makes people feel heavy.
Before leaving, there is one more thing to do.
It was to bury Yang An and carry Ye Yixin's body out all the way.
You definitely can’t take Ye Yixin’s body back. If you’re not lucky, you might have to walk for more than half a month.
Even if you carry it, the weather is so hot, it will definitely rot.
So Yang An took photos after 'asking' Ye Yixin's permission to prove in the future that Ye Yixin was sacrificed and not missing.
She was then buried not far from the puddle and a simple funeral was held.
"Team Ye, just go with peace of mind. We will take care of your family for you. And Professor Chen, please rest assured that your contribution to archeology will be remembered by future generations."
< br>Shirley Yang lowered her eyes and her voice was hoarse with a hint of crying. My last condolences to Ye Yixin.
Hu Bayi and Fatty couldn't see this, so they both squatted aside and shared cigarettes.
The fat man is also ruthless. He has lost all his supplies, but the cigarettes he brought are still fine.
“By the way, Mr. Yang, how did you discover Ye Yixin’s ghost?”
Hu Bayi stepped forward to give Yang An a cigarette and asked Yang An curiously.
Yang An did not answer immediately.
He stood on the sand dune and watched from a distance as the ghost of Ye Yixin, who was also kneeling in front of Shirley Yang and could not be seen by ordinary people, slowly disappeared and faded.
Before disappearing, she shed tears of gratitude and glanced at Yang An, bowed deeply, and then disappeared.
This time, it can be regarded as a regret.
Yang An sighed, maybe Ye Yixin didn't want to be left in the ghost cave because her soul might also be bound in the ghost cave, just like the soul of the prophet.
Of course, these were just his guesses. Yang An did not hide anything and told what happened in the stone chamber.
Professor Chen was almost possessed by Ye Yixin. At that time, Ye Yixin was still a resentful ghost. If he was really possessed, the consequences would be disastrous.
When Hu Ba heard this, his expression became serious. He lit a match and lit a cigarette for Yang An. He thought for a while before speaking.
"That was really dangerous. Fortunately, Mr. Yang, you stopped it in time."
Yang An nodded.
“When you have time later, Lao Hu, please tell me the difference between evil ghosts, resentful ghosts and ordinary ghosts.”
“No problem, we’ll talk about it on the way.”
While the two were chatting, they went to sort out the supplies on the camel.
But no one found it.
An almost faint and invisible golden light appeared from the dissipated soul of Ye Yixin and penetrated far into Yang An's body.
Waiting for Shirley Yang to come back.
Everyone got on the camels and set off.
Hu Bayi rode on the camel and continued to describe his judgment. The ghost after this person's death is actually afraid of people.
Because the human body has a strong yang energy, if the ghost wants to possess it, it may be directly burned to ashes.
Generally, those who encounter ghosts are weak children or patients.
The yang energy in their body is not strong, and some of them have excess yin and yang deficiency, so they are prone to encounter those lonely ghosts, commonly known as evil spirits.
On the one hand, after Professor Chen traveled a long distance, his old body could no longer support him. Coupled with his listless spirit, this almost let Ye Yixin take advantage of him.
"Besides, the fat man and I both have evil-proofing holy objects like black donkey hooves, and Miss Yang has an authentic gold-touching talisman. You don't need to tell me, Mr. Yang, so the four of us are fine. .”
Perhaps it was because Hu Bayi got Yang An's promise to double the promised reward this time. After regaining what was lost, he talked more.
The fat man also intervened at this moment, thinking about what he would do with a large amount of 'endless money'.
For example, open a small shop like Dajinya and buy a house.
Hu Bayi joked that he had no intention of marrying a wife. Fatty Wang was not convinced. Women would only slow down his ability to make money. When he got rich, he would not be able to find any woman.
As a result, Shirley Yang’s face turned ugly.
He hurriedly changed his tune and said with a smile that he had been a bachelor for more than thirty years, so any good girl would like him, so she should just let it happen.
Yang An snickered from the side.
Uncle An Liman has changed the most now, and he is in awe of Yang An.
What’s more, now that we are about to go back, the relationship between everyone has become harmonious.
An Liman said that they have to go west now. Once they reach the Tarim River, the largest inland river in the desert, it will be easier to find human settlements.
The whole process is expected to take more than half a month.
There was nothing worth mentioning along the way, and we spent most of the time on the road.
Yang An used this time to ask Hu Bayi a lot about tomb robbing Feng Shui and astrology.
Hu Bayi should hold this thing tightly and not spread it outside, but it also depends on who he tells it to.
He and Fatty deliberately made friends with Yang An, so they answered all questions. Yang An's half-baked knowledge of tomb robbing was also improving by leaps and bounds.
The ninth day of the return journey.
Under the guidance of Yang An using [Sand Transformation], everyone was lucky enough to find a unit that was training. Fortunately, they were almost arrested as a spy for spying on intelligence.
Later, their identity was proved from the capital.
Finally got out of trouble.
This matter has alarmed many big leaders.
Because Yang An and Shirley Yang have special status, on the one hand, this Sino-foreign joint venture archaeological team has attracted much attention, and on the other hand, they are both big bosses.
They have been missing for more than three months, but they came out of the desert alive, which is worthy of celebration.
And not only that.
Imagining that the archaeological team had one professor, three students dead, and one going crazy, the serious consequences did not appear.
Of course, censorship is censorship.
However, the five of them had a tight rapport, with 70% true and 30% false. They only concealed their true identity, and everything else was clearly explained, and they were not made any trouble.
Until one month after escaping from the ancient city of Jingjue.
The group returned to the capital.
Hu Bayi and Fatty went back to rest.
Yang An was invited, met a lot of people, and talked a lot.
Both sides expressed cordial condolences, friendly exchanges and close cooperation.
After all, Yang An has a special status. On the one hand, he is a world-renowned writer, and on the other hand, he is a financial tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
After the final negotiation, Yang An made a big deal and signed more than ten joint projects at once, with a total investment of more than 30 million US dollars, which is of great significance.
This is also to make things easier in the future.
It’s a great time for the host and the guest.
