Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 613 Right Angle
There are many people in Chang'an City.

Pavilions, towers, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, Gongsunli has seen a lot, but she has never seen the scene of the desert: golden sand is everywhere, and the rolling small sand dunes spread from the foot to the distance.There is absolute silence between the sky and the earth, only the dividing line at the top of the sand dunes shows that there have been strong winds blowing here.The ordinary scene of the sun rising and the moon setting becomes particularly shocking here. The majestic red sun, the silent and bright moon, and the sky full of stars, the boundless sky undergoes a rendering alternation from moon white to navy blue, and nature becomes the only scale of the passage of time.

As a dancer and an artist, Gongsunli has a very high sensitivity to beauty.In the face of such a scene, it seems that even language is pale and powerless.Baili's keeping promises is much better than her, probably because she is used to seeing such scenes, although she also thinks it is beautiful, she is not so shocked that she can't speak.

The more important question he faced was how to go back.

He knew the direction and the distance. After all, this was not his first time in this desert.But when he set off, he only brought 20 days' worth of water. After walking for [-] days, he met Gongsunli who was unconscious.

There are only eight days' worth of supplies left in the backpack, and it's still for one person.Although Gongsunli ate less, he was still a human being after all, so he couldn't just leave her alone.

After learning that the other party wandered into the desert by mistake, Baili Shouyue never thought of leaving her behind. His good tutoring allowed him to take extra care of the girl at such moments, and his kind nature made him decide to take Gongsun Li forward with him.After repeated consideration, he decided to go to Yumen Pass - the map indicated that there was a small oasis twenty miles to the north.

This map was drawn by our predecessors a hundred years ago, so it is uncertain whether the oasis is still there.It's good to find it, but if you can't find it... there's nothing you can do if you can't find it.Supplies are scarce, and finding an oasis is the only way for both of them to survive.

I can only pray for the blessing of my seniors and pray that the oasis is still there.

Gongsunli didn't know about Baili's keeping the promise.As long as he said, "I know the way and will take you out," she believed it completely.Anyway, for her, there is no better way to not believe it.Now she has nothing but a paper umbrella, and her fate depends entirely on the young man she meets by chance.Take her out or leave her behind, it's all in the mind of that person.

After figuring out his situation, Gongsunli became more indifferent.Ming Shiyin once said that there is a time for life, a time for death, and a time for joy and sorrow.Her nostalgia for this world does not affect her not being afraid of death.

This kind of calm and indifference lasted until the moment he saw the oasis.In other words, it was the moment when I saw the former oasis.

Both of them are descendants of demons, and they are very sensitive to the smell of water, so the closer they are to the destination shown on the map, the more certain their guesses are.There wasn't even a sense of disappointment or despair the moment we turned over the dunes.

There was no damp smell of water in the air, as they had already guessed.

The branches of the trees were already scorched, and the broken dry branches were spread all over the ground.A thought suddenly flashed across the contract: it would be good to pick it up and use it as firewood.

To some extent, Hua Mulan's phrase "virtuous" is really accurate.

The two of them turned back immediately without stopping.Their only destination now is the Great Wall.It is definitely hopeless to arrive, but the closer it is, the more hope of surviving.

On the fifth day of their return trip, they broke into a huge stone formation.

When Baili Shou promised to enter the desert, he did not walk in a straight line. At this time, due to the shortage of supplies, they had to take a shortcut, so he did not pass here on the way here.

When he first stepped into this stone formation that wasn't even marked on the map, he didn't expect that this was no ordinary stone formation.

"Qimen Dunjia..." Gongsunli murmured, "I can't guess what it is, and I don't know how to solve it."

They have been trapped in the stone circle for three days.

On the first day they met, Gongsunli and Baili Shouyue also told each other where they came from and what they usually do, and they chatted very harmoniously.But since the day they saw the withered oasis, the two have tacitly stopped talking.Even if he didn't keep the promise, Gongsunli also understood the current situation, every ounce of physical strength should be conserved as much as possible.

The subsequent return journey is still resting during the day and marching at night.Baili Shouyue was responsible for leading the way, and Gongsunli followed him step by step.Dry food and water were allotted the daily amount per person, and all behaviors showed the seriousness of the situation, but Gongsunli did not panic, perhaps because the young man in front of him was always calm, and he was still smiling when he stretched out his hand and pulled him up the sand dune of.

It's not that he looks better than Pan An, but he is also elegant and resolute.Gongsunli never thought that one day he would use these two words to describe the same person.She suddenly thought of Shangguan Wan'er, and the messenger charm she had researched a few days ago.That was her first "invention", and before she had time to name it, she might be leaving this world.

Thinking about it, I was really not reconciled.

He clearly confirmed that he was heading east at every step, but after a few hours, he would always see the imprint carved by Baili Shouyue on a big rock.

No matter how you go, you will return to the original place.

Gongsunli performed lightness kung fu and jumped onto the boulder to look at it, but he didn't see anything unusual.Baili Shouyue looked at it with a shotgun scope, but he didn't see anything unusual.During these three days, all speculations were rejected one by one, and they must now come up with new solutions.

It's not a spell or a mechanism, so it should be the handiwork of nature.

"Could it be... a visual error?"

Baili Shouyue turned his head to look at her, and motioned her to continue with his eyes.

Gongsunli was also purely guessing, and her voice seemed very unassuming: "The... magnetic poles of the King's Continent are divided into north and south poles, but they do not coincide with the north and south poles. If here," she nodded, "under our feet, there is a If there is a strong magnetic field, the gravity we feel will shift. Correspondingly, our judgment of direction will also shift.”

Speaking of this, Baili Shouyan regretted that he didn't bring a compass out.He has always been confident that he can't use this, but if he brings it, he can tell whether there is a magnetic field under his feet.

This guess cannot be confirmed, but Baili Shouyue thinks it is not important: "We have always used the sun to identify the direction, and the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west."

"Yes." Gongsunli nodded, a little surprised at the other party's intelligence: "The magnetic field itself is not a problem. But we have been operating at night, and the moon can't be used as a reference. You judge the direction before sunset and engrave it on a stone. If the magnetic field affects gravity , will inevitably affect the position of the stone."

"Even if the magnetic field affects the position of the stones, these stones have not moved." Baili student continued to ask Teacher Gongsun.
