Super Pickup King

Tang Qi nodded. Although they hadn't encountered a big sandstorm in the past two days, it was always sunny, but even if they slept in sleeping bags or in the desert, they were almost half submerged the next morning.

It is indeed very worrying. If one day they fall asleep, the wind and sand will suddenly blow up and drown them all. If they can't detect it for a while, wouldn't it be frightening.

When they got behind the big rock, they took out the meat that hadn't been eaten, and processed it. After eating, they let them go to rest.

Recently, the continuous dry road has made everyone very tired. Whether it is the driving brother or the person on the camel, there is no way to rest well. In addition, the camel is already very swaying, and sitting on it has been very tested. People.

Tang Qi asked about the status of the brothers, especially the status of Professor Gu and Qu Jing. Qu Jing was okay, similar to the two little girls, but Professor Gu looked tired and looked very tired.

But their journey this time was quite anxious. Professor Gu kept insisting and said nothing. Tang Qi knew that his perseverance and original beliefs were different from those of ordinary people. In addition, he was in such a state of survival in the wild all the year round. It’s not impossible to keep going.

But after all, it is an elderly person, and ordinary people at this age may not necessarily have such physical strength. So Tang Qi felt that it would be better to slow down the process afterwards, because they were almost there anyway.

It was like this all night, and the next day he opened his eyes. When Tang Qi set up breakfast for everyone, he realized that the big stone they had used before was gone, and a long city wall appeared behind him. The appearance of a city wall is considered a miracle.

Tang Qigang was about to call people, and found that Professor Gu had also woken up, was already close to the city wall, and was studying the history of the city wall.

The stones of the entire city wall were erected with very large stones. It is conceivable that what kind of manpower was spent in the past to build such a castle.

After discovering the city wall, everyone was very motivated. It seemed that the destination was very close to them.

Especially Qu Jing, Tang Qi didn't know why, he seemed to show the excitement of ordinary people after he got here. Although Tang Qi didn't know what he was excited about, he knew that he must also have a lot of connections with this place, otherwise, Professor Gu would not have asked him to come with him.

It seems that he is also a person with a story, but if he does not want to say, Tang Qi will not force him, after all, they are just partners, and he has no need to tell him.

But he also knows that no matter what his purpose is and what kind of relationship he has here, he will not do anything to harm them. He can still trust the person recommended by Professor Gu.

Thinking of this, let them eat breakfast, and after breakfast, Tang Qi said to everyone. "Maybe this place is very close to the purpose we are going to reach, or it is already. After all, after so many years of historical changes, the terrain here has undergone earth-shaking changes. From the map, we should go further south. Going, there is at least one day's journey away, but maybe because of the change in geographic location, we have already arrived, so everyone stay vigilant."

Everyone became very vigilant when they heard Tang Qi say this. It seemed that they had suffered so many days and finally got through this moment. How could they not be excited?

And Professor Gu's suggestion to them is to walk along the roots of the city wall, find the city gate they are looking for, and then go in along the city gate to see what the ancient city is like?

Does it have historical value? Is there any connection between what they are looking for and what they are looking for?

Tang Qi agreed with Professor Gu's proposal, so they had been walking along the city wall for a long time before they reached a place similar to the gate of the city. They didn't expect this city to be so big.

Generally in the Western Regions, there are very few such places, and such a large city is rarely seen. It seems that this place was also very prosperous at the beginning.

I just don't know why, I was submerged in this historical trend. After discovering the city gate, Professor Gu said to Tang Qi.

"Call people here. This may be the gate of the city. Let's go in here and see what kind of existence this city is like. It's hard to see such a big city in such a place in the Western Regions. At least it is not mentioned in all the documents I have studied."

Tang Qi nodded, even Professor Gu said so. It seems that the existence here is indeed a puzzle. Tang Qi cautiously called everyone over.

Everyone arrived at the gate of the city. Professor Gu studied the gate for a long time. Of course, the brothers couldn’t understand it either. This was waiting quietly by the side. As a collector who knows a little about antiques, Tang Qi seems to see Go, except for knowing that this is an ancient building. Just take it and don't understand anything.

It's just that this really makes him feel strange. He can't figure out what kind of city it is, and there is no way to know what kind of existence this town is.

His golden fingers seemed to be affected by some kind of magnetic field. It really made him feel strange, so he had always been very cautious, afraid that anyone would be in danger.

After studying for a while, Professor Gu turned around and said to them. "Everyone, be careful. There is indeed a weirdness here. I really can't see what kind of architecture is here. Since I have studied Western culture for so many years, there has never been such a situation."

Even an experienced person like Professor Gu said that, and Tang Qi instantly felt that it was fairer.

"I can guarantee that I have spent most of my life studying this kind of culture, so I can more or less see why when I see the architecture of the Western Regions, but here I can't see anything, especially It’s this style, I’ve never seen it before, so this should be a town that hasn’t appeared in historical documents. Everyone must be careful. I always feel that something is weird."

Professor Gu's words made Qu Jing feel very strange, and also very surprised, to know that Professor Gu is the most prominent researcher of Western culture among all the people he knows.

If he says that he has never been discovered by humans, and has not been recorded in human history, then he has never appeared.

Unexpectedly, there is a town here, and it looks very huge and prosperous. It hasn't appeared in the history books known to mankind. It can be seen how mysterious and weird this town is.

Thinking of this, Tang Qi became very solemn, and when Tang Qi saw that Qu Jing, who had always been very excited, became so solemn, he knew that he must be careful this time, and his heart also revealed a deep feeling. Worry.

Thinking like this, I looked at them directly and said. "Since there are so many unexplainable phenomena here, I think we should continue to move forward to see how this town exists. We can't waste time here anymore. We should record the record and report it to the country. Let a dedicated team and archaeologists come here to do the clean-up work. We are really wasting time here."

Professor Gu felt that it was feasible, so he looked at his assistant, said some questions, took out the bottle, left the sample, and continued to walk inside the city. After entering the city gate, the inside became even more prosperous. Unexpected.

They didn't expect that in such a Western Region, such a huge and prosperous city could appear, and they were really shocked.

Under normal circumstances, these are small towns or places where nomads live. They will not have a specific shape at all. They have long been submerged in the wind and sand. Obviously, there are a large number of people living here.

It seems that this time is indeed a big discovery. The more you walk inside, the more surprised you are, but it also reveals a thick weirdness, but they don't know what this weirdness represents, continue walking inside and see if you can find anything.

However, most of the town is actually submerged in yellow sand. Tang Qi saw the location of a minaret in front, and the location corresponding to the location of the first red dot on the map, thinking like this, they had reached the first location.

But Tang Qi didn't want everyone else to take risks together. Others don’t know what the specific route is like? And Professor Gu knew everything. Tang Qi was a savvy Professor Gu, and Professor Gu lightly nodded to him.

Tang Qi turned around and said to everyone. "You just guard at the gate of the city. Find a place to stay and wait for us. Let's go inside and see. This is our first destination. I don't want so many people to go over and destroy it. Especially the camel team, must stay here, think about if something dangerous happens, maybe someone will pick us up."

When Tang Qi said this, he paused. It was not that he wanted to say something discouraged, but that the feeling in his heart was getting worse.

"If we all pass, we will definitely die. We can't cut off all the back roads. So we must keep someone here to stay here. Maybe we go in and we will come out soon, and we will continue to go out. Go to the next destination."

All the brothers also understand that it is more important to stay behind. Thinking of this, she nodded to Tang Qi, quickly sorted out the house they were going to bring, and put the leftover supplies here, staying with the camel team. Originally, Gama wanted I went with Tang Qi, but the camel team was not guarded.

The Camel team has all his possessions, so he can only choose to stay, hoping that Tang Qi can help him find an antidote and save his dad. Don't let his dad go on in this state.

Chapter 2690-Discovery Oasis

Tang Qi promised him that Qu Jing would definitely go with them, but the two little girls were left behind. The more people they brought, the more trouble they would be. So Tang Qi was able to take care of Qujing and let the two little girls stay there. Wait here.

Professor Gu and his assistant are going to follow together. Professor Gu knows a lot of knowledge, and when they encounter some things they don't understand, Professor Gu can still answer them. If Professor Gu is not brought, they are like headless flies.

Wang Ning was also with him. He wanted to protect Tang Qi. Tang Qi was left with Tang Qi, and he would never stay. Tang Qi knew his temper, so he didn't reject him.

Only a few of them left, and Liu Yun must have stayed, because going further may not be able to receive the signal. Liu Yun is not at ease, so he stays here to give them technical support.

Because that was the first location, they were also extra careful. Tang Qi looked from here, as if there was a layer of black mist lingering on the spire of the tower. He didn't know what this black object represented, whether it was a danger, a bad sign, or something unclean. He couldn't predict anything.

Although he doesn't believe this, there are some folklore that he has to believe, so it is better to keep most of the people here.

Soon the brothers separated their things, and Tang Qi took a few of them and continued to move forward, while the others stayed. What will be waiting for them? Tang Qi also has no bottom.

A few people came to the tower. The desert had already submerged more than half of the tower. They were standing next to the tower, equivalent to looking directly from the middle of the tower.

Professor Gu walked over and studied the tower for a long time. After looking up and down, he took out his notebook, not knowing what was recorded, and then said to Tang Qi.

"There is nothing to study, so hurry up. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Although there are some things that can't be explained scientifically, it is better for us to pay attention to some things."

Seeing Professor Gu being so careful, Tang Qi didn't ask much, because when Professor Gu said this, he understood a little bit, so he nodded and left this place with everyone. It wasn't until he was far away that he asked Professor Gu in a low voice.

"What's the weirdness in this place? I see that after you saw a symbol just now, your face is solemn. I think it's not easy, because when I look at the tower, I seem to see a layer of black. The fog lingers around this place, maybe I missed it, but I think this place may not really be a good place. Is it a wrong decision to keep everyone in the city?"

Professor Gu shook his head. It is not a wrong decision. After all, the wind and sand outside are just talking about it. Let them stay outside, they are likely to be submerged by the wind and sand, so staying inside is also for their safety considerations. He blamed himself for this, but at first he didn’t understand what the tower was. He always felt that he didn’t have a good impression of the tower in his heart. Thinking about where the comfort came from, I looked at Tang Qi and said to him.

"In ancient times, people all pursued the art of immortality, including the city lord of this city. He also pursued this kind of immortality. But in the Central Plains, we basically used alchemy to find elixir and so on. Purpose. There are more such ways, but in the ancient city of the Western Regions, the methods here are more cruel and unacceptable.

"They all feel that only by gaining the blood and meat of the newborns can they be able to live forever and extend their lives to their own bodies. Therefore, when the newborns are born, they will contribute to the city lord. The parents of those children are basically I don’t know where the children went, but they were actually eaten by these city owners."

Hearing Professor Gu said this, it really made Tang Qi feel very cruel. To be honest, he didn't expect them to use this method to be immortal after all.

In Hua Xia’s words, I have also heard of such secret techniques. It is not a secret, but I have never seen people so cruel. Basically, they use children to make their expressions look so cruel, which makes people feel that they are inhumane, but they The fact that he was using a child made Tang Qi feel goosebumps. No wonder he felt that the place was so smoky that they were all harmed by these city owners.

Tang Qi thought so, until Professor Gu continued to tell him.

"This tower is used to worship and suppress these undead. There are no real adults, but some children, so they are idle and depressed, making people feel that the sign on the tower, I have seen it in a certain book That’s why I can be so sure that seeing this tower makes people feel uncomfortable. Let’s leave as soon as possible. It’s better not to spend too much time here."

Tang Qi also nodded again and again, since that's the case, let's leave as soon as possible and don't stay here. This is really too cruel. The fairy tales of Zhongyuan Fairy went to Penglai to find the elixir. Such legends are no longer acceptable, and their methods make people feel even more brutal.

When Tang Qi left, he looked back. He looked at the top of the tower as still smoky. He originally thought that this place should be handed over to the national team to deal with, but if there is such an unclean thing, it is better to break this thought. Think, for fear of bad influence. Thinking of this, Tang Qi said to Professor Gu.

"Since we have existed here for thousands of years, let them slowly submerge in the wind and sand like this. We don't bother the tower anymore, and don't go back and tell the national team that if mining here brings unnecessary casualties, then But it’s not worth the loss. Although archeology is important and the discovery of a civilization unknown to mankind is also very important, I don’t think it is necessary if it brings unnecessary casualties because of such thoughts."

Professor Gu nodded and agreed with Tang Qi's thoughts, and he already had this thought after seeing the mark on the tower, so when Tang Qi said, he directly agreed.

"I have the same idea. Don't worry. I have a sense of measure. Naturally, I will not rush into impulsive things. NS."

Hearing Professor Gu said this, Tang Qi nodded repeatedly. It was because he had a little bit of a gentleman's heart. If you think about Professor Gu who is such a transparent person, how can he not think of what he thinks? , Shook his head helplessly and smiled.

A few people continued to move forward, trying to get to the center of the city, but after a long time, they did not reach the center of the city at all. The sky was dark and they could no longer go on. Walking at night is very dangerous. Especially poisonous insects and the like, there is no way to find out, it may be dangerous if you get a bite. Thinking of this, Tang Qi said directly to everyone.

"Let’s stop and rest. Let’s continue to set off tomorrow. This city looks bigger than we thought. I thought that with our footsteps, we can walk to the other side of the city in one day today, at least. I walked to the center of the city, but I haven't seen the real city center, nor the other side of the city. It seems that this city really has a lot of weird places."

A few people nodded and took a break. Tang Qi contacted Liu Yun who was guarding at the gate of the city. Liu Yun adjusted the signal and talked with Tang Qi. According to the full picture of it restored, it can be determined that their location has reached the center of the city. Unexpectedly, they walked for a long time before they reached the center of the city and saw how big the ancient city was at that time.

After breakfast the next morning, they inspected the center of the city. It seemed that the center was more severely damaged than the surrounding area. It was impossible to restore what it was like at that time. It seems that the real riots at that time should have occurred in the center of the city. Yes, it may be because they discovered the city lord's conspiracy, the city lord is really eating the children, so people launched a counterattack.

That's why the center of the city was destroyed so badly, and they have been walking to the center of the city with them. There is no way to find that this has reached the center of the city, and they continue to go south.

It feels like on the map, they have been walking south and they will soon be able to reach this destination. But when they were starting, Tang Qi found that there was no signal at all. He could still communicate with Liu Yun, knowing that they would continue to go back.

But suddenly there was no signal. Tang Qi adjusted for a long time and didn't adjust the signal. He already shook his heart, feeling that something bad would happen. But I still didn't tell them. Instead, I put the pager in the bag and didn't take it out.

At this moment, Qu Jing saw an oasis and pointed directly to them and said to them. "Let's see if there is an oasis over there. Should we go over and take a good bath. Once we enter the desert, we will stick to our bodies. It has been a long time since we took a good bath."

Everyone looked up at this moment, and indeed saw an oasis, not very far away from them. Tang Qi was not sure. He didn't know if they were seeing a real scene or a mirage, so he turned his head and looked at Professor Gu, hoping that Professor Gu could make an idea.

Professor Gu couldn't tell whether this was a mirage or a real oasis, so he told them.

"Let's go forward for a while and then judge. If we can get close, it should be true. If we can't get close, it can only mean that it is still an illusion. If we don't test it, there is no way to know. ."

It seems that they have to look in that direction again. If it is really an oasis, it is better to contact Liu Yun and ask them to come next to the oasis too, which is better than next to the city gate.
