From the standstill of time, across the heavens

"It's boring, come and practice with me!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to agree, he forcibly pulled Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang over and stood up.

The research of the archaeological team lasted only one day. If Hao Shuai hadn't forced them to eat and rest during the period, they probably planned to study in the tomb for a whole day with dry food!

It wasn't until the sun went down in the evening that the people of the archaeological team came out of the well one by one with a full expression.

"Gumo Kingdom was relatively powerful among Jingjue Kingdom's vassal states at that time, and the tomb of Prince Gumo we discovered today has extremely high archaeological value..."

The huge archaeological harvest made Professor Chen still interested in popularizing historical knowledge to the people present during the meal, and he still did not forget to thank Hu Bayi at the end.

Hu Bayi hurriedly said modestly that everything should be done.

Perhaps because of the excitement of the day, the archaeological team took a rest shortly after the meal, leaving only the Iron Triangle trio to cook there.

"The three of you come with me." Seeing that the time was right, Hao Shuai planned to ask the three of them to explain the situation openly at night.

Although wondering what Hao Shuai called them, Hu Bayi and Shirley Wang Fatty followed Hao Shuai to a sand dune.

As soon as the four of them stood still, they said straight to the point: "Miss Yang, we're all here, don't you have anything to say to us?"

"Hao Daoist, what do you mean? I don't understand." Hao Shuai's words made Shirley Yang look at him warily.

"Just tell me about the Ghost Cave Clan, about your curse, and about your search for Jingjue Ancient City." Hao Shuai reminded.

"how do you know?"

"Didn't I say that, I'm a Taoist priest, and my hobby is fortune-telling and fortune-telling. Isn't it normal to know some things!" Hao Shuai confidently stroked his non-existent beard.

"Wait, God stick, what are you two talking about? What curse? What kind of ghost cave clan? Why didn't I understand?" Fatty Wang was in a hurry, and he couldn't figure out what Hao Shuai and Xueli Yang were talking about. Hu Bayi also had the same dazed expression.

"Talk to them. If you want to lift the curse on you, you need the help of these two people, so it's best to tell them straight to the point." Hao Shuai suggested.

"They?" Shirley Yang looked at Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "The partridge pangolin has the official seal of Qiu Tian, ​​and the black lantern ghost in the tomb hits the wall."

Hu Bayi raised his head, with a strange expression on his face, he couldn't help but continued the next sentence: "Dig the mountains and travel all over the world, touch the golden school and lieutenant, and the cock crows and the five drums make ghosts upper body."

Hearing Hu Bayi's words, Shirley Yang didn't show anything, but looked at Hu Bayi quietly, and said: "The plate is hung with a thousand pieces of gold, and the hexagram of Haizi rings. Grab the kicking pole and pour the big top Yuanliang upside down, The moon recruiter is far away from the lottery bag."

Hu Bayi's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Shirley Yang full of shock and disbelief!

Fatty Wang at the side couldn't understand what the two were saying at first, and grabbed his hair anxiously, but fortunately, he heard the word 'Dou Dou' in Shirley Yang's last sentence.

He pointed at Shirley Yang and said in surprise, "Are you also in this line of work?"

Hu Bayi also had a hellish expression on his face, he really couldn't associate the delicate beauty in front of him with Daodou.

Compared to Hu Bayi's shock, Shirley Yang was much calmer. She probably had some doubts during the interview with Hu Bayi. After all this way, Fatty Wang's performance can be noticed by anyone who is careful.

After a long while, Hu Bayi said: "Since Ms. Yang is also an insider, let's be clear about it. The business of fighting is really too dangerous. You are already so rich, there is really no Is it necessary to go to Jingjue Ancient City because of a dream?"

"Actually, apart from that dream, I also want to go to Jingjue Ancient City to find a way to break the curse." Shirley Yang said frankly.

"Curse?" Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang asked in confusion.

"That's right, the curse. Daoist Hao said before that I was cursed and that I would not live to be 50 or [-] years old. That's right." Shirley Yang said with some depression.

Only then did Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang remember that Hao Shuai had indeed said this during the interview between the three of them, and he even sold a [-]-meter gold talisman to Xueli Yang.

At that time, they all thought that this was Hao Shuai fooling others, using a piece of yellow paper to defraud others of their money!

Didn't expect it to be true.

"My curse is inherited from my family. Anyone who falls under this curse will be tormented by the curse for 40 years from the age of 10 until he dies at the age of 50. By chance, I learned the meaning of this curse from my father's diary. The ancient city, and the dream I had, prompted me to find the Jingjue ancient city."

Speaking of this, Shirley Yang showed hope in her eyes.

"After listening to Shirley Yang's words, Lao Hu, what's your opinion?" Hao Shuai looked at Hu Bayi who were still digesting what Shirley Yang said.

"Fatty, what do you think?" Hu Bayi said, poking Fatty Wang.

"I don't care whether you curse or not? I just want to ask, is there really a mountain of gold, silver and jewels in the ancient city of Jingjue?" Fatty Wang asked.

"I can assure you that there is one!" Hao Shuai affirmed.

"Of course we have to go to this exquisite ancient city! Not for the sake of the Mi country girl, but for the treasure." Fatty Wang called her Mi country girl in front of Shirley Yang without hesitation, causing Shirley Yang to turn upside down. He rolled his eyes, and finally endured it.

"The fat man is going, so I can only go with him, otherwise I don't trust him and Professor Chen." Hu Ba insisted that he had other motives.

"Okay, you've all decided, so I hope you can cooperate with each other and take good care of Professor Chen and the others in the next trip." Hao Shuai pouted at the archaeological team and said, "As long as you take good care of them, I guarantee that we can reach Jingjue Ancient City safely."

### Chapter 394 The Stone Tomb in the Desert###

Starting from the stop of time, Across the Heavens, Chapter 394, The Stone Tomb in the Desert. Because of the discovery of the tomb of Prince Gumo, Hao Shuai and the others stayed in Xiye Ancient City for an extra day. It was not until the morning of the third day that everyone packed up and poured Filled with all the things that can hold water, once again embarked on the journey to find the ancient city of Jingjue.

As for the tomb of Prince Gumo, as in the plot, it was sealed up by Professor Chen and the others, and they wanted to slowly open the coffin for research later.

The sun in the sky is very hot, and everyone feels as if they are about to be roasted, and they keep replenishing water, for fear of being exposed to the sun and drying them out.

After traveling like this for a few days, Hao Shuai and his team have already penetrated into the black desert. There is no Populus euphratica here anymore, and there are no undulating sand hills. The surrounding sand dunes have similar heights, like flat buns. , boundless, on the ground, from any angle, it is the same scenery, without any sign of life.

By this time, even An Liman, known as the living map of the desert, had never been here, and could only rely on his years of experience in the desert to lead the archaeological team forward.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang still has the notebook left by the British explorers. It records that after leaving West Night City, those explorers discovered a place nearby with a large number of stone tombs. Excavations were carried out, so detailed routes were drawn in notes.

An Liman's experience and Shirley Yang's notebook, although it is impossible to accurately locate, but in terms of distance and azimuth, it has provided us with great help, so that the group will not deviate from the general direction.

In the evening of that day, a group of people found a protruding land and prepared to set up camp. While others were busy building a sand-proof wall on the sand dune and settling the camels, Shirley Yang took a notebook and brought Hu Bayi to find Hao Shuai.

"Hao Daoist, according to the route of the notebook, there should be a large number of stone tombs in this area, why is there nothing around now?" Shirley Yang asked, pointing to the notebook.

Hao Shuai took the notebook and looked at it. Combined with the plot, he knew that this should be the place where Ye Yixin fell into the quicksand. Thinking that Comrade Xiaoye is pitiful enough, it is better not to let her be frightened again!

So Hao Shuai returned the notebook to Shirley Yang, turned around and walked around, then pointed to the yellow sand under his feet and said, "Several of you come here and dig down from here."

Hearing Hao Shuai's words, Shirley Yang was the first to react. She said, "Master Daoist, you mean that the stone tomb is under the sand?"

"That's right, because of the movement of the sand dunes, the stone tomb was covered by sand." Hao Shuai affirmed.

The reason why he was so sure was that Hao Shuai felt that there was an empty space one or two meters below the sand.

As soon as they heard that there was a tomb, Professor Chen and the others didn't even set up a tent, and rushed over with Chu Jian and the others with tools, and started digging down with a shovel.

It didn't take long for everyone to dig down to a depth of one or two meters. Under a not-so-thick layer of yellow sand, parallel to the slope of the dune, a sloping stone wall was exposed, with a big hole broken in the stone wall.

"It was definitely exploded by explosives. And it is definitely an expert. The blasting force is directed outwards. Look at the broken stones at the entrance of the hole, and the precise small-scale directional blasting." Hu Bayi, who was born as an engineer, saw this at a glance. It was a hole blasted out with dynamite.

Speaking of this, Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment, and continued: "And this is definitely blown out by military TNT."

Hu Bayi's words caused the people present to fall into silence for a while. They all understood that this group of tomb robbers had military explosives, which meant that they were not ordinary tomb robbers, but probably armed tomb robbers with weapons.

"You don't care about the explosives. If you want to dig it, dig it quickly. If you don't dig it, lead them to camp and rest." Hao Shuai, who was next to them, saw that they were digging a hole, and urged them directly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Hao Shuai, thinking of his formidable strength, the worry about the tomb robbers suddenly disappeared, so they immediately cleaned up the yellow sand on the stone tomb.

As the yellow sand cleared, a mallet-shaped stone wall was exposed.This is a typical stone tomb in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Huge and thick rocks are built into an arched shape, and the gaps are glued with hemp fish glue. Such stone tombs are very common near the Xiye ruins.

Now these stone tombs have been completely covered by the desert, and it is difficult to find their traces. Professor Chen estimated that it may be related to the big sandstorm a few days ago. The thief stole it.

Speaking of this, Professor Chen felt a little regretful, only regretting that he hadn't come here earlier, so that he could stop that nasty tomb robber.

The hole in the tomb was dark. Professor Chen Hao Aiguo and others jumped in with flashlights. The tomb is not very big, only about the size of a small bungalow.

Everyone in Gu looked around, and there were four or five wooden coffins scattered inside. The coffin boards were all broken and thrown aside, and they were turned into a mess everywhere.

"What kind of tomb do you think this is? There is nothing there." Fatty Wang complained.

Hao Aiguo said angrily: "If you are a tomb robber, will you leave something for the people behind?!"

"I'm always down~~~" Fatty Wang started talking nonsense again. Fortunately, Hu Bayi was clever and quickly pushed Fatty Wang.

"What are you pouring?" Hao Aiguo asked.

At this time, Fatty Wang received the death stares from Hu Bayi, Xue Liyang and Hao Shuai, and knew that he almost slipped his tongue, so he said with some guilt: "I was unlucky, I knocked it off."

Seeing Fatty Wang round up his words, Hao Shuai and the others looked away. At the same time, Hao Shuai thought that he should increase the amount of training against Fatty Wang, otherwise his energy would still be strong, and he would think about fighting all day long.

"Professor, there is still a mummy here." Chu Jian, who was in charge of taking pictures, pointed to a coffin.

The ancient corpse in the coffin was the mummy of a young woman with long braided hair, only the head was well preserved.

Ignoring Professor Chen's classification of ancient corpses, Hao Shuai directly observed the mummified corpses in the coffin.

It's a pity that as expected, there was no corpse aura on the mummy.

At first, I thought that this mummy is more than 1000 years old. If it doesn’t mean that it won’t become a zombie, it should have more or less corpse gas, but now it seems that I think too much.

The formation of zombies is really not that easy.

Disappointed, Hao Shuai went straight out of the tomb, followed by Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, leaving Professor Chen and the others to rescue the ancient tomb.

Not long after, while the three of Hao Shuai were drinking and chatting, Professor Chen brought Hao Aiguo to find Hao Shuai and the others.

"Little Hu~~"

"Professor, what's the matter?" Hu Bayi asked.

"I came here just to tell you something. The ancient tomb was stolen within three to five days." Professor Chen analyzed.

"Professor, what do you mean?" Hu Bayi asked suspiciously.

"The professor means that there may be a group of tomb robbers who have entered the depths of the Black Desert earlier than us. We can't delay. It's best to catch up with them." Hao Aiguo said.

"Catch them? Professor Chen, Professor Hao, what are you going to use to catch them? Use the old shotgun in the fat man's hand? Or call the police to catch them?" Hao Shuai asked 'seriously'.

"This~~" Hao Aiguo was stunned by Hao Shuai and was speechless for a while.

"Besides, do you think you can catch up with those professional tomb robbers with your physique and speed?" Hao Shuai made another stab.

###395 Chapter Zagrama Mountain###

"I'm sorry, Daoist Hao, we took it for granted." Professor Chen apologized, and they also knew that this request was a bit abrupt.

"Professor Chen, I also understand your hatred for tomb robbers, but my premise is to ensure your safety, and I am considering other things. I hope you understand." Hao Shuai explained.

"I'm afraid that group of people will find Jingjue Ancient City before I do, and it will be very destructive." Professor Chen said worriedly.

"Professor Chen, don't worry, if the ancient city of Jingjue was so easy to find, it wouldn't have been rumored for so many years." Hao Shuai knew what would happen to those tomb robbers who were wiped out.

"I hope so!"

"Your task now is to have a good rest. Don't lie down before you reach Jingjue Ancient City. Then everything will be in vain."

"Yes~ yes~, listener, patriot, let's go back and rest!"

……

After a day's rest, the group embarked on a journey to find the Jingjue ancient city again.

In the next ten days, the archaeological team went deeper and deeper in the black desert, and finally completely lost the trace of Zidu Dark River.The old man An Liman's eyes were red, and he shook his hand for the last time, completely helpless, it seems that Hu Da only allowed us to go here.

At this time, everyone was already exhausted, and the food and water they brought out were not enough, that is to say, Hao Shuai took out food and drinking water from time to time, so as not to worry about supplies, otherwise Hu Bayi would take people back home early. up.

Everyone was curious about Hao Shuai's ability to produce all kinds of materials, but their mental and physical exhaustion made them not in the mood to explore Hao Shuai's secrets.

Looking at the exhausted and depressed group, Hao Shuai comforted him: "Everyone is persistent, we will be there soon."

Hao Shuai's words made everyone look at him with hope, Shirley Yang even drove the camels to Hao Shuai's side and asked, "Daoist, do you see something?"

Take a look!

Nothing but sand here is sand, what can I see!

Hao Shuai sneered silently in his heart, but he still explained: "I sensed the change of the nearby magnetic field."

"Magnetic field?" Shirley Yang asked in confusion.

"Yes, think about how it was recorded in that British explorer's notebook." Hao Shuai reminded.

After hearing Hao Shuai's words, Shirley Yang quickly took out the notebook in her bag, and turned to the records about the ancient city of Jingjue: In this sea of ​​death where not a single blade of grass grows, two huge black magnetic mountains stand facing each other in the afterglow of the setting sun. Like two ancient warriors in black armor, silently guarding ancient secrets, passing through the valley like a gate, a legendary city appears in front of you.

"The black magnetic mountains? Daoist, are you saying that I got close to those two magnetic mountains, which caused the magnetic field to change?!" Xue Liyang said excitedly.

Hao Shuai nodded, looking at Shirley Yang with a childish look.

"In the past two days, my mechanical watch either stopped or went fast and slow. I thought it was a cheap watch that was broken in the desert. Could it be that we are near those two magnetic mountains?" Hu Bayi Holding his watch, he said suddenly.

Hu Bayi reminded the others, and the members of the archaeological team took out their watches one after another. Seeing that it was the same as Hu Bayi's situation, they knew that they had encountered strong geomagnetic interference, which made them more convinced of Hao Shuai's words.

The morale of the team suddenly rose again.

But when they picked up the binoculars, they found nothing. Apart from the endless desert, there was still desert in the distance.
