From the Nine Uncle Movies

Chapter 205 Quicksand
Seeing this, Yang Xueli ignored the fat man, and continued: "I guess, besides Master Fang, more importantly, I once read an ancient book written by a monk in the Tang Dynasty. The book records There are many legends of the ancient Western Regions, some are myths and legends, and many are real events. Among them is the legend of the desert queen. In the depths of the desert, there is a city in which a nation from the underground lives. They conquer and rule other neighboring countries.

After hundreds of years, the throne passed to a queen. Legend has it that the eyes of this queen are the passages to the underworld. As long as she looks at her enemy, the other party will disappear without a trace and never come back. I am afraid that only those people themselves know where the disappeared people went.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the queen died suddenly, and the slaves and the surrounding countries oppressed by the queen formed a coalition army and bloodbathed the queen's royal city.The coalition forces were about to destroy the queen's tomb, but at this moment the sky and the earth changed color. The terrible wind and sand engulfed the royal city and the coalition forces together. The queen's tomb and the countless treasures she collected were buried under the yellow sand.

After hundreds of years, the flow of the desert brought the king city back to the sky again. Some travelers passed by there. As long as they took any property in the city, they would cause a desert storm. Can never leave.

Combined with today's murals, I can guess with confidence that it is about Queen Jingjue. You must know that Jingjue Kingdom worships eyes very much. "

After hearing this, Hu Bayi said, "Miss Yang, according to what you say, it would be dangerous for us to enter her tomb!"

Yang Xueli: "If you asked me this before I met Master Fang, I would definitely say that in ancient times, human beings' understanding of the world was very low, and some phenomena that seem common now would have been exaggerated into demons and ghosts in ancient times. Or miracles, even today when science is highly developed, there are still some phenomena that cannot be explained by science. I believe this is not because gods and demons really exist, but because the field of scientific exploration is not enough. In the years to come, there must be I can find out the answers to all mysteries through scientific methods. But now..."

Speaking of which, Yang Xueli looked at Fang Zhengqing and said, "Master Fang should be able to explain it to us!"

Fang Zhengqing looked into everyone's eyes and said: "People like us call the modern time the Dharma-ending era, which means it is not conducive to the era of cultivation, especially in our country, where all demons and practitioners will be suppressed and restricted. , or even gradually fade away. Before the Dharma-ending Era, the further forward, the more conducive to cultivation. I have never seen the Queen of Essence. Someone or a monster has turned people into nothingness!"

Fang Zhengqing's words made Yang Xueli and the others think about it, and Fatty Wang asked: "Then Master Fang, you mean that there will be no more ghosts and ghosts in our country!"

"It's not right, there are some powerful things that are still lingering, and of course death is only a matter of time."

"Does it affect you too?"

"Of course there are. For example, my strength is being suppressed now. You don't need to be pressured. Even if the Queen Jingjue really comes back to life, I have the confidence to fight her." This is not Fang Zhengqing's bragging. No matter how great his ability is, in this era of overthrowing all monsters, ghosts and snake gods, without official protection, he is destined to be obliterated. Maybe his strength is stronger than that of the ancient tomb of the Kingdom of Jin, but he is definitely not as good as Fang Zhengqing.

"Yes, I'm relieved to have Master Fang's words!" Fatty Wang expressed his relief when he heard Fang Zhengqing's words.

Hu Bayi: "Okay, if there's nothing else, let's go up!"

"No, I don't want to see this coffin!" Fatty Wang said, pointing at the coffin.

"It can't be opened, it can't be opened! The coffin buried together by Prince Gumo and his wife can be said to be a national treasure. We don't have the conditions now, and the environment is not suitable. Once opened, it will destroy the sealed coffin and the items inside. Our trip The purpose is to submit an assessment report to the superior, apply for excavation, or give due protection to these ancient cultural heritages. When I go back, I will ask Aiguo to take Chu Jian and the others to complete the records, and I will write the report myself." Fatty's words, Professor Chen said excitedly.

"Okay...don't get excited, I'm also afraid that there is something about Jingjue Ancient City in it, and you guys missed him!" Hu Bayi glared at Fatty Wang, and Fatty Wang immediately came back to his senses and explained.

During the two days of rest in Xiye Ancient City, Yang Xueli took the notebook left by the British explorer and discussed the route with An Liman.

The notebook records that after leaving Night West City, the explorers found a place nearby with a large number of stone tombs. They planned to dig when they returned, so they drew a detailed route in the notebook.

An Liman's reputation as a living map of the desert is not in vain. He quickly planned the fastest route based on the route in the notebook.

Three days later, everyone set off again, the water source was replenished, and everyone's mood was not as tense as before.

After walking for two days, I can no longer see Populus euphratica in the desert, and there are no undulating sand hills anymore. This place is already in the depths of the desert.

Everyone walked for a long time that day, because the sun was too high, so they stopped to rest. Two girls, Yang Xueli and Ye Yixin, went together for convenience, but soon Ye Yixin yelled, Hu Bayi and the others hurried over, Only then did she realize that Ye Yixin had fallen into the "quick sand".

Half of Ye Yixin's body was sunk in the sand, she kept struggling, and Yang Xueli was grabbing her arm and dragging her out desperately.

Hu Bayi yelled "quick sand" and was about to run over, Fang Zhengqing said: "Okay, just let go!"

"Ah..." Hu Bayi stopped and looked back, wondering why Fang Zhengqing said that.

"It's really quicksand, you can catch it, can Yang Xueli hold it?"

After hearing Fang Zhengqing's words, everyone felt that it made sense. They were also anxious just now and didn't think about it carefully. If it was really quicksand, Ye Yixin would have sunk into it long ago.

Yang Xueli let go slowly, Ye Yixin's body dropped a little more, and then stopped.

"Xiao Ye, how are you?" Professor Chen asked.

"Professor, I feel something hard under my feet!"

Although Ye Yixin's body stopped falling, the sand around her was still falling, and soon Ye Yixin came up by herself.

Hu Bayi looked at the hole that fell into Ye Yixin, thought for a while, took out the military shovel and started digging. After digging a few times, he heard a sound of "Ding...", as if hitting a stone.
