The full moon is in the sky, and the first moon desert seems to be a little bit colder because of the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, a sandcastle like a pyramid stands on the sand.This place is so quiet for hundreds of miles that no wind can be heard, and it seems to be isolated from the world.The gate of the sandcastle is open, and two sand sculptures that look like lions but not lions are sitting on both sides. The two strange beasts are both half awake and half awake.

Suddenly, a river of quicksand surged on the sand, and the quicksand rushed towards the direction of the sandcastle, throwing the two people to the gate.The strange beast slowly opened its eyes and glanced at the human beside him. With a flick of its tail, the two of them were swept into the sandcastle door, and they squinted their eyes to rest like sand sculptures.

After an unknown period of time, Lou Jingmo and Wuhua, whose bodies were covered in sand and stones, woke up. Needless to say, they felt sore all over their bodies, and found that they were already in a large hall.

There are countless grains of sand floating in the hall, and they regularly form rows of strange characters, and four large characters are suspended in the center.Passing through these grains of sand, you can see the three doors in the hall. There is no sign on the door, which may be for people to choose one to come out.

"Desert Temple." Wu Hua looked at the four characters floating in the center, and it turned out that the rumors about Wu Zun Bixuan entering the Desert Temple by mistake were not made up by the guards of the royal court.And all the characters here are crooked and difficult to understand at first glance. They are Tocharian, a language that few people in the Western Regions are proficient in.

Lou Jingmo looked at the floating sand text in puzzlement. The old man revealed that there is a "God of War Illustrated Record" in the mysterious Temple of War, which are all stone carvings, and the difficulty factor of practicing martial arts in the desert temple is so high. , such as she has never learned such a remote language.The senior really trusts the cultural level of the younger generation enough, and is not afraid at all that those who enter the palace in the future will be unlearned and incompetent.

"Afeng, what did it say? Explain how the three doors should be played?"

"You want to know." Wuhua suddenly smiled softly, and took out a dagger from her sleeve and handed it to Lou Jingmo, "Accounting for how many times you called bald man at the beginning of the meeting in the desert, and how many times did you have any regrets about my lost hair?" How sad it is. My request is not too much, you cut a strand of hair by yourself, and you can be regarded as going with the hair you have talked about."

Lou Jingmo really wanted to slap Fei Wuhua's smile with his palm, but at some point he dug a hole for her to jump.She stared at the dagger that was handed over. This was really a good time for her to compromise.A lock of hair is nothing, but she is also a person who wants face. "It's really a small stomach, have you returned all your Buddhist principles to the Buddha?"

"I just want you to pay homage to my long hair with sincerity. The Buddha will not blame me." Wu Hua said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't cut it. You can recite these Tuhuo Luowen Next, we will study it slowly in the future, right?"

To hell!

Lou Jingmo is not a foreign language fanatic. This will be to guess which door to open based on the floating sand text, or he may be somewhat curious about the origin and uniqueness of the desert temple. It will be waiting for him in the future. Thank you all.In fact, she can also quietly wait for Wuhua to make the choice to open the door without knowing everything, but she can't help being curious.

He just grabbed the dagger, without any thought that his parents should not move easily, cut off a strand of hair without talking nonsense, and even shook the cut hair a few times. "Is this okay? Calm down?"

Wuhua nodded irrefutably and retracted the dagger, and by the way, she also brought the lock of long hair and said that she would go back and burn it to complete the sacrifice, but immediately changed the subject and talked about the suspended sand.

The desert temple was built by True Monarch Lie Yang. He almost died in the desert several times before he attained consummation. He deliberately built a place of chance to provide a little life for those trapped in the desert.

There are three doors in the main hall. Behind one door is the record of Lie Yang Zhenjun's lifelong martial arts. Behind one door leads people to the way of life, and behind the other door leads people directly to perdition.Once selected, it cannot be changed after opening the door and entering, but the key is that True Monarch Lie Yang did not clearly mark the house number.

"Aren't you kidding me? This is not funny at all. Bi Xuan must have been lucky enough to push away the room where the martial arts were left, and the two people in the back never explained what was in it."

Lou Jingmo wanted to question Wuhua's translation level, so she waved her hand in front of Wuhua's eyes and made a two-handed gesture, "How much is this? Could it be that you broke part of your head and turned the translation key The ability to write is left in the desert."

Wuhua held Lou Jingmo's non-stop fingers, he was not different at all, how could he miss any key point, True Monarch Lie Yang didn't mark it, and now even if he carefully observed the three doors, he couldn't do the elimination method.This place is not like the world, without leaving any trace of dust, it is impossible to tell which door Bi Xuanjin pushed open last time.

"I don't care if I left something else in the desert, as long as there is no bad luck. I can only choose one blindly, so just choose the second according to what you showed."

From left to right, from right to left, the second is the door in the middle.

There was no other way to make such a hasty choice, Lou Jingmo still nodded in agreement, and now he can't regret cutting his hair too quickly.Since the two of them don't know what to choose, let's rule out heretical ways first.

The two pushed the sand door lightly, and the sand door spread out like a vortex sucking them in, and the background behind it was not like a desert environment at all, it was like entering a cave with glowing beads embedded on the rock wall, which could illuminate the cave, and inside There is a deep pool.

There is a stone tablet beside the deep pool, on which congratulates those who enter the lake for finding the source of vitality. Drinking water in the desert is not just enough to live.

Not only that, those who don't want to worry too much about choosing the middle way are very likely to be disgusted with the endless yellow sand and want to go home.This abyss can satisfy people's wishes in life and send them back to the place they most want to go, but it must be remembered that there is only one chance to choose the place they most want to go.

After Wuhua finished translating, she leaned into the water pool and quickly touched it with her hand. The water was not icy cold, but when she touched it, she seemed to feel a warm current sinking into her fingers.The pool water has the power to repair the body, just like Lieyang Zhenjun said, it is the source of life.

"Where do you most want to go?" Wuhua didn't see on the stone tablet the precautions if multiple people jump into the pool, and didn't say how many people would jump at a time, so it's safe to jump together and go to the same place.

Lou Jingmo thought for a while and decided that he would not change his mind, "I came here to find Lop Nur. I was looking for the remains of the ancestors nearby. I hope I can go directly to the place where they are buried. You said before that you wanted to find Lop Nur. From there, go east and enter the customs, so you just need to see the water of Lop Nur Lake?"

Wuhua was silent for a while, the matter of the happy city ruins is not a top secret, many people in the desert are looking for that place, why can't he go there.Now it seems that Lou Jingmo did not go there to seek money, but more to collect human bones. The destinations are the same but there is no conflict.

"I don't have a particular place I want to go, so you can take it for granted, and you don't need to continue exploring in the desert."

"Are you sure? I went for the two remains, and I don't know the exact location of that place. If I get lost the second time, I may not have the good luck this time."

Lou Jingmo originally intended to go back to Lop Nur, so the two would find their own way without hindrance, but she seemed not in a hurry to enter the customs from Wuhua's appearance.

Wu Hua smiled and asked, "Good luck this time? How do you know it's good luck? Most people would at least think that it was a narrow escape."

"I call it good luck to live healthy without missing arms, broken legs, blindness and deafness. Human beings can create infinite possibilities while alive, so don't burden God and ask for more from it."

If Lou Jingmo could choose on her own, she would not rush to travel through time and space gaps, but she is lucky enough to have such an encounter without the right to choose independently. "This time, you have been with me for a walk. Seeing that we can go back together, is there anything more fortunate than this?"

Wuhua didn't know whether she should agree with a smile when she heard the words.If this is not his understanding of good luck, it seems that he has never had the experience of good luck to achieve what he wants, and how to evaluate it if he has never encountered good luck.But if Lou Jingmo's words were wrong, he admitted some of them.

"Okay. Then I will grant you good luck and go to the side of the skeleton you are looking for." Wuhua jumped into the pool first, so he should be allowed to jump first.

Lou Jingmo also jumped in immediately, the pool water has a strange force that pulls people down, the more you go down, the more you can't see anything.It seems that when people's breath holding reached the limit, a vortex appeared at the bottom of the pool and all the people in the water were involved in it.

The next moment, two drenched people suddenly appeared outside the sandy hotel.

"Mr. Lou! Oh, where did you come from! This is great, we are all ready to find you, and we are thinking of leaving after breakfast."

Captain Wang of the Yanzi Company walked back to the inn with a bucket of water, and when he saw the figure at the door of the inn, he happily ran to Lou Jingmo, "It's been seven days, and the caravan has gathered here, so you are alone There is no trace yet. I will look for you as soon as the storm recedes. By the way, there is great news, the bones have been found, and they are parked in the backyard of the hotel."

Lou Jingmo listened to Captain Wang chattering a long list, and there were two key points in it. It was only seven days since the desert tornado scattered their team, and five of Captain Wang gathered in this hostel one after another.

In addition, misfortune comes with blessings, and the tornado rolled out some things buried deep in the ground. Captain Wang found a secret room that was blown out. The door was broken, but the two skeletons inside were still intact.

Previously, Bai Feifei described in detail the costumes worn by Wang Yunmeng and Chai Yuguan on the day of the decisive battle 18 years ago. She also drew portraits of the two, including some carvings and decorations in the secret room.

Captain Wang compared these with the findings in the sand, and confirmed that these were the two skeletons that had been broken through the iron shoes and could not be found, and now it really took no effort to find them.

"The woman's face is almost the same as before. I think she may have used some kind of face-retaining thing. The desert wind and sand can't help her. As for the man, like most corpses in the desert, his appearance will not rot after being air-dried, but I can tell his appearance after a short time. Why don't Mr. Lou wash up and go to the back to make sure? I'll go to the river to fetch some water."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Team Wang." Lou Jingmo was still a little dazed, the time difference was within her expectation, after all, time was stagnant after she and Wuhua went to the Sui Dynasty, but they could It was luck to meet Wang Yunmeng and the skeleton of Happy King without much effort, but it was unexpected.

But after a while, Lou Jingmo cleaned up and changed into the new clothes provided by the hostel. In the backyard, she confirmed that the identities of the two placed in the simple coffin were correct.

The hotel owner said a few more words on the side, the desert is very magical, and sometimes what you want will come true, and what you have been looking for will appear.This time it was corpses that came out, and gold and silver treasures came out before.

In fact, there is no need to be surprised, the quicksand must have smashed the original city to pieces, just like the room containing the bones and the room containing the treasures have long been separated in the sand.Therefore, everything is possible in the desert, and the cards are not played according to common sense.

Wuhua listened silently to the innkeeper's words. He watched the rising sun and smiled. It seemed that he had really fulfilled Lou Jingmo's good luck.And here is some distance from Lop Nur. Now it seems that the secret treasure of Happy City has been taken to nowhere by the quicksand. He thought that the treasure would not be too far away from the bones, but he made a mistake in his estimation.

Lou Jingmo thanked the boss for taking care of the coffin, turned around and looked at Wuhua, who was looking quietly and far away, and felt that he had added those coldness, as if the sun could not warm him.

"Since I found the skeletons, I will send them to the customs as soon as possible, and go to Lanzhou first. What are your plans? Are they together, or are there other arrangements?"

"There is only one way to enter Yumen, so let's go together, and we will separate when we get there." Wuhua knows that the same journey will eventually end, "I have been away for a long time, I should go back to South Shaolin first, if you have something important Just go to Xinnan Shaolin."

Lou Jingmo's plan is to transport the coffin to Luoyang, Wang Lianhua's old residence, and make arrangements for the burial after Wang Lianhua's return.She has an invitation card from Yin Ji, a jellyfish, and it is hard to say when she will go, because she still remembers the poppy case in Xining City, so it seems that she will have to wait three to five years to visit friends in South Shaolin.

"I'll find you when I'm free. You said you were going to write a book about the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty, but by then it may have already been a book. I can take care of the publication and distribution, so you don't have to worry about it at all. You just wait for fame and fortune. .”

Wu Hua shook her head with a smile, "Amitabha, what the benefactor Lou said is wrong. Monks don't pay attention to things outside the body, how dare the poor monk break the precepts."

Lou Jingmo tapped his flowerless bald head, pretending, monks have to spend money to live, so why not make money by publishing books is a serious business.

"The piano you play is famous, right? The tea you drink is high-quality, right? The chess you play is made of jade, right? Fengya is inseparable from yellow and white things. I'm not stupid. The slogan of making money from books is used as a propaganda slogan."

Of course Wuhua knows that Lou Jingmo is not stupid, what he is afraid of is that Shi Guanyin is not stupid even more, and the last thing he wants is to let Shi Guanyin know how close the relationship between the two is.

"Okay, you are absolutely right. Then wait a little longer. After three to five years, I will ensure that the book I write will not disgrace Shaolin."

Of course you can wait for three to five years.

Lou Jingmo nodded, but she planned to pass the news of Wang Yunmeng's skeleton to Wang Lianhua immediately.Even so, it should be more than half a year before the news reaches Wang Lianhua, and I hope this is a pleasant surprise rather than a shock.
