Chapter 30: Jingjue Ancient City, Arrived
Chapter 30: Jingjue Ancient City, Arrived
Three days later, the archaeological team set out on their journey again.
Professor Jiang's health has also improved slightly.
Chu Jian took Hao Aiguo's ashes and prepared to go to the Jingjue Ancient City to bury him and fulfill his long-cherished wish.
The desert is endless, with only yellow sand all over the sky.
The closer we got to the ancient city of Jingjue, the hotter the weather became, with waves of heat rising up and scorching the earth.
In such hot weather, even with camels, it would be very uncomfortable for people, especially the elderly in the archaeological team.
Professor Jiang had just recovered from a serious illness and was in very weak condition. He simply could not stand this kind of environment.
There was no other way, Jiang Hua and his companions could only set out at night and hide in the shade during the day to keep cool.
Hu Bayi and his team dug a hole and then covered it with a tent, allowing the moisture in the sand to evaporate and lower the temperature.
It can also reduce the loss of water from the human body.
After all, although they had replenished water in the Xiye Ancient City, who knew how far away the Jingjue Ancient City was?
In the desert, water is the source of life!
It's worth saving a little bit.
Everyone was lying inside bored and unable to do anything. After all, the sun was so bright and no one was stupid enough to go out.
Only Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang were sitting cross-legged in the tent, practicing hard.
"Hey, Lao Hu, do you think that Brother Jiang's relationship has changed since he went down to the dungeon with that foreign girl?"
"Huh? Fatty, stop talking nonsense there!"
"Hey, how come I'm talking nonsense?"
"You're just talking nonsense without any evidence. Be careful or they won't give you a penny!"
The fat man chuckled.
"Lao Hu, I think that foreign chick is most likely attracted to our brother Jiang. If she doesn't give me money, I will ask Brother Jiang for it."
"Shut up! I told you not to say anything that would ruin a girl's reputation."
"Don't worry, I'm only telling you about this. I'm not someone who doesn't know the importance of things."
"Hey, Lao Hu, if Brother Jiang is really with a foreign girl, will he run away to the Beacon Country to become a Wall Street tycoon?"
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes and said, "What does it have to do with you if they go to the Lighthouse Country?"
"Hey, I'm curious!"
……
When Hu Bayi and Fatty were chatting.
Jiang Hua held the jade beads in his hand, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy inside.
After these spiritual energies enter the human body, they are quickly transformed into true energy. Strands of true energy flow through the flesh and blood, strengthening all the muscle cells in the body.
If a first-grade warrior is just getting started, then a second-grade warrior is just beginning to get a glimpse of the door.
At this level, the concentration of true Qi is several times stronger than that of a first-grade warrior, and the power is much stronger as well.
The second level realm can be summarized into two things.
Temper your Qi and strengthen your flesh and blood!
Jiang Hua is now using jade beads to continuously temper his true qi and increase the total amount of true qi.
If it could be expressed in terms of data, his cultivation speed at the second level was increasing at an extremely fast rate.
This is the magic of Reiki.
As long as you have enough spiritual energy.
You can quickly increase your true qi in a short period of time, thereby speeding up your cultivation.
In ancient times, the world was full of spiritual energy.
But now, it has become very difficult to find the existence of spiritual energy.
Shirley Yang was also practicing nearby.
After she ate the spiritual fruit, she was directly promoted to a first-grade warrior and is now in the stage of skin refining.
Shirley Yang practiced the "Mountain Moving Internal Qi Method" to move the internal Qi in her body, using this internal Qi to continuously strengthen her skin membrane.
On the other side, Ye Yixin looked at the two people sitting cross-legged and practicing, his eyes flickering.
There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
His face was also somewhat gloomy and uncertain.
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang, what are they doing?
Could it be that they are already warriors?
This is important information.
An idea suddenly occurred to her.
……
Sunset West Mountain.
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang finally finished their training, while Hu Bayi, Fatty and others were already making a fire and cooking.
See Shirley Yang wake up.
Ye Yixin's eyes rolled and he came to her side.
"Sister Yang, what were you doing just now?" "Are you practicing Taoism?"
Ye Yixin has the face of a girl next door with two dimples, which makes people feel good about her at first sight.
Shirley Yang's eyes moved. If Jiang Hua hadn't told her not to have much contact with Ye Yixin, her identity would have been complicated.
I'm afraid she could never have imagined that Ye Yixin, such a cute girl next door, would actually be a spy.
Her eyes flickered and she smiled, "What kind of cultivation? Have you read too many novels?"
"So what was Sister Yang doing just now?"
"Hey, this is a health-preserving skill passed down in my family. It can restore your energy. We have to set off for the Jingjue Ancient City later, so we have to get some rest before we go!"
"Oh, so is Brother Jiang the same?"
"probably."
Shirley Yang smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, why are you asking this?"
"Sister Yang, I'm just a little curious."
Ye Yixin's smile was a little stiff.
"Oh, then let's eat quickly, we'll be leaving soon."
"Ah."
……
After dinner, everyone continued on their way to the Jingjue Ancient City.
The temperature changes greatly at night in the desert.
The temperature during the day can reach fifty or sixty degrees.
The temperature at night dropped to minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius.
In this temperature, everyone wore cotton jackets.
It took about two days and two nights to walk.
The ancient city of Jingjue is still far away.
"Ouch, I'm so tired."
While taking a break, the fat man sat down on the sand, cursing.
"Hey, old man, did we go the wrong way? Where is the Zidu Dark River? There's not even a shadow of it."
An Liman: "Well, we're definitely on the right path. The Zidu Underground River you mentioned should have dried up. There's nothing I can do about it."
Shirley Yang said: "The Jingjue Ancient City must be above the Zidu Dark River. The notes must be correct. According to the notes, after crossing two black peaks, you can see the Jingjue Ancient City."
"Walter's notebook records that he also lost the trace of the Zidu Dark River in the depths of the black desert. In this sea of death with no grass growing, two huge black magnetic mountains stood facing each other in the afterglow of the setting sun."
"They are like two warriors in black armor, silently guarding the ancient secrets. Passing through the valley between the two magnetic mountains, a legendary city appears before our eyes."
"Then why haven't we seen any mountains yet?"
"I do not know either."
Shirley Yang shook her head.
The fat man turned his head and looked at Hu Bayi.
"Old Hu, can you use the Tianxing Fengshui technique to calculate how far away the Jingjue Ancient City is?"
Hu Bayi took out the compass and carefully compared it with the stars in the sky. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I can't see it."
"It could be that I am not skilled enough, or it could be that the ancient city of Jingjue was not built according to the Feng Shui pattern. All of these are possible."
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Fatty, don't be so anxious. I have a feeling that we are almost there. If we walk a little further, we will be there soon."
Ye Yixin looked at the water source and said, "Brother Jiang, Brother Hu, our water source is almost finished."
"What? So fast?"
Hu Bayi and Fatty were surprised.
Shirley Yang said in a deep voice: "We can only keep moving forward now. There must be a water source in Jingjue Ancient City. As long as we get there, all our problems will be solved."
"Okay, let's go quickly."
Jiang Hua boarded the camel and continued his journey to the ancient city of Jingjue.
We walked for another half day.
Shirley Yang looked at her watch and was stunned for a moment.
"Why isn't my watch moving?"
"Maybe it's broken?" Ye Yixin said.
At this time, Hu Bayi also shouted.
"My compass isn't moving either."
Jiang Hua's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
The Ancient City of Jingjue is finally here.
