Chapter 280

Chiyun Yuexuan was surprised and said: "what else is so magical? Where has so much water disappeared? "

The guide said respectfully: "well, I don't know. The travelling merchants all said that there was a dragon hidden under the sand. When the dragon was angry, he sucked up all the water, and when he was happy, he would spit it out again. "

Chiyun Yuexuan holds the camel and looks at the bottom of the sand dune. The original green spring no longer exists. A piece of fish scale sand seems to tell the story of the past.

Murong Zhining opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise, "general, the lake is really missing. It's amazing!"

The guide said: "tell Mrs. chiyun that the water in this pool is always mysteriously disappeared, reappeared after a period of time, and went back and forth. It's just that there's no rule. "

Wu Siyuan and Caisang also rode up on camels. Caisang exclaimed, "it's impossible. It must be a mirage. Last time I came here, there was a pool of clear water. We've bathed in it! "

Chiu Yun Yuexuan said: "the old rule is to prepare a wooden paddle and slide down to have a look. Although there is no water in the lake, the scenery is very pleasant. "

People excitedly followed chiyunyuexuan and slid to the bottom of the dune one after another with the wooden trough they brought.

Tuoba blue tightly grasped Tuoba Zhi's shoulder and shouted excitedly: "brother, it's fun. Let's go up and play again! "

Murong Zhining said with a smile: "Lan'er, it's OK how many times you want to play, but it's easy to slide down. It's still very hard for you to climb the top of the dune. Come on, have a rest, keep up the spirit, and then continue playing. "

Chiyun Yuexuan looked at the bottom of the sunken lake and said to Tuoba Zhi, "brother Tuoba, this place is amazing. There was a clear water at first. I don't know why, but it suddenly disappeared. It is said that there is a dragon hidden in the sand. Do you believe it? "

Tuobazhi chuckles and shakes his head, Murong Zhining pouts and says: "fools will believe it. Where is the Dragon hidden? General, brother Tuoba, let's go to the center of the lake and have a look. Maybe we can find something interesting! "

Chiyun Yuexuan chuckles at Murong Zhining and says, "Wu Siyuan, Jin Xuheng and Shi Yong, according to the general's plan, you should set up a tent and a cooking stove. Everyone was tired and thirsty, and distributed the water bag to everyone. Caisang, you should prepare something for the princess first. General Ben took the princess and Mr. Tuoba to the center of the lake. "

Chiyun Yuexuan takes Murong Zhining's hand, steps on the soft white sand, and slowly walks towards the dry lake center. Tuoba Zhi follows, and from time to time reaches out to help Murong Zhining.

Meng xiashen caught up with the him with the a shallow foot: "you wait for me, and I want to see bustle."

Murong Zhining stands still, turns around and beckons: "sister Meng come quickly, we wait for you."

Chiyun Yuexuan pointed not far away: "look, Ning'er, there is a small raised dune there. General Ben saw a gleaming point at the top of the dune. "

Murong Zhining thought a little and said: "Ning'er has seen many historical materials about the ancient city of Hobe. According to the historical materials, the ancient city is in the sand sea near Yongning. If Ning'er did not guess wrong, the disappearance of the ancient city may have something to do with this clear spring! "

Chiyun Yuexuan holds Murong Zhining's fingers, and can't help but tighten them: "Ning'er means that the lost ancient city of Hobe may be hidden at the bottom of the lake?"

Murong Zhining firmly points her head: "Ning'er once had a strange dream. She dreamed of the ancient city of Hobe, which suddenly collapsed and sank to the bottom of the water. Ning'er is also confused when she wakes up. The legendary ancient city is clearly in the desert... "

Chiyun Yuexuan frowned. "Can Ning'er have the ability to predict things?"

Murong Zhining pouted: "the general is talking about immortals. Ning'er is just a mortal. Where can someone predict things? It's just a coincidence. What if the ancient city is really hidden at the bottom of the lake? "

Meng Xia ran forward and grabbed Murong Zhining's hand: "it's not easy to walk in the sand. It's like stepping on cotton. It doesn't work at all. Have you found anything interesting? How is the sand here different from the yellow sand in the desert? The sand here seems to be whiter, rather like being washed away by water. "

Chiyun Yuexuan pointed to the small sand dune: "we haven't found anything interesting yet. We are going to have a look there. Miss Meng did not know that this place was full of lake water. "

Four people holding hands, a line, Murong Zhining and Meng Xia holding hands, chiyun Yuexuan and Tuoba Zhi, one left and one right will protect them in the middle.

Chiyun Yuexuan planed the fine snow-white sand grains around the sand dunes with his hands. A golden crescent shaped metal sheet was exposed. Chiyun Yuexuan grabs the Golden Crescent with his hand and pulls it out hard. However, the crescent piece looks like a root, which can't be shaken at all.

Chiyun Yuexuan pulls out his dagger and Murong Zhining holds his hand: "don't bother, general. I didn't expect Ning'er's dream to come true! We are at the top of a tower. It turns out that Hobe is really buried at the bottom of the lake. It is said that Hobei people believe in the moon god and regard the moon as a totem of worship. The roofs of their palaces and temples are decorated with the curved moon made of pure gold. "Four people you look at me, I look at you, eyes full of shock.

Tuobazhi stroked the Golden Crescent Moon and nodded his head: "it is said that Hobei people are favored by the gods, and they have more advanced production tools than other countries. The women of Hobe people have opened their eyes and have the ability to predict things. Is Murong the descendant of Hobei? It's incredible! It's a miracle! "

Murong Zhining shook her head: "I'm not a priori anyway. Maybe it's a coincidence. However, Hobe people are said to be able to communicate with gods. It is also mentioned in the history of the wild that there are huge spherical objects with flames, which frequently travel between Hobe city and the sky, bringing them fairyland items. But those are just legends. To uncover this secret, we must make the ancient city of Hobe come to light again! "

Chiyun Yuexuan's full of doubts: "the ancient city site is in the middle of the lake, and the roof only shows a corner. It's not easy to excavate."

Murong Zhi nodded: "this is the wealth left by the ancients. It is not necessarily a treasure of gold and silver, but also a product of great wisdom. Once the news spread, greedy people would rush in and grab property. In this way, it will bring destruction to the ancient city of Hobe. The four of us must keep this secret strictly. Without a precise excavation plan, we must not move the bricks and tiles here lightly. "

Tuoba nodded and chuckled: "if I don't have the technical means of excavation, I think I'd rather let it sleep in the sea of sand and wait for the capable descendants to explore."

Chiyun Yuexuan said anxiously: "there are businessmen coming and going every day in the desert. The secret will be spread one day. If the ancient city sinks under the water, it is relatively safe. Once the lake recedes, it may be discovered at any time. "

Murong Zhining holds chiyun Yuexuan's hand: "general, don't worry too much. Once Yongning city is opened, few businessmen will cross the desert. And this place is very desolate. Even if some merchants pass by, they will not easily get involved in the lake when they see no water in the distance. So, Ning'er thinks this place is very safe. The general just needs to send people to patrol. If we want the ancient city to see the sky again, we have to spend a lot of money, material and human resources. No one can do it except the general. "

Tuoba Zhi and Meng Xia also nodded in agreement. Chiyun Yuexuan covered the spire exposed in the sand with his hands. The four men held hands and turned back according to the original road.

Chiyun Yuexuan clenched Murong Zhining's hand and said excitedly: "Ning'er, brother Tuoba and Miss Meng, I feel that we are destined for this ancient city. Let's go back and make a plan, then we can explore. Since all the treasures of Beiyan can be collected into our pockets, we need to see the site of Hobe! "

Tuoba smiled elegantly and said, "I have no desire for wealth. I just want to satisfy my curiosity."

Meng Xia said: "I just ran into it. I'm willing to explore with you. It's much more interesting than opening a treasure."

Chiyun Yuexuan said, "I also know that Ning'er is curious. It's for her sake that general Ben wants the city of Hobe to see the light again! "

Murong Zhining pouted: "what is the general's urgent explanation? No one questioned the general's intentions. To explore the ancient city, there is also an important problem to be solved, that is, we must master the law of lake water fluctuation. " Chiyun Yuexuan shook his head: "the guide said that there is no rule to follow when the water disappears and appears."

Tuoba ran up to him excitedly: "princess, brother Shen took me to play sand skating twice. It's so exciting!"

Meng Xia reached out to hold Tuoba Blue's cheek and joked: "Lan'er, do you know that little white face is what my sister first looked at? You are not allowed to be close to him. "

Tuoba Lan said with his tongue: "I'm going to rob sister Meng. She doesn't like it. Lan'er hasn't robbed yet! Princess, you go to the center of the lake and don't call me! "

Murong Zhining chuckled: "I thought there were shells in the center of the lake, so I went there. As a result, I went for nothing. Fortunately, you didn't go. You didn't find anything except the sand of a shoe. "

Wu Siyuan stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "general chiyun, the canopy is set up. Please take the princess to have a rest. I'll call general Shi. They are stepping up the construction of tents."

Chiyun Yuexuan put his hands decisively: "tell them not to set up tents, all of them will be built into awnings, saving time and ventilation. Don't spend the night here, there's no need to be so troublesome. Brother Tuoba, sister Lan'er and Miss Meng, please have a rest in the shed. "

Five people sit on the carpet of the awning, tasting snacks and looking at the scenery around with interest.

Chiyun Yuexuan pointed to the dried beef on the low table: "brother Tuoba, Lan'er and Miss Meng, you all have a taste of the special products in southern Xinjiang. JIS Khan has rich resources of cattle and sheep. They make the beef they can't eat into jerky. It tastes good. "

Jin Xu Heng took a roast chicken on a plate and walked into the shed: "you can taste this first. The chicken is fast. The whole sheep is still roasting on the charcoal fire. It will take at least half an hour to eat. What about? Is the beef jerky I made by myself delicious? "

Tuoba nodded: "it turns out that brother Jin made the beef jerky. How can I say it's so fragrant? You eat. I'll go out and look for mulberry trees and locks. "Tuo Bazhi shook his head helplessly: "my sister is not very long. It can be seen that this character is born. The princess is only one year older than Lan'er, but her character is much calmer. Alas! "

Chiyun Yuexuan fondly caresses Murong Zhining's long hair behind her head: "our family Ning'er is also a little boy! General Ben would love to spoil her like this for the rest of his life. If you don't grow up, it means that someone is doting on you! "

The guide hurriedly ran to the front of the awning: "it's not good to report to general chiyun. A group of wolves were staring at us in the low thorn awning in the distance. There are many of us, but wolves dare not come forward easily. The little one is afraid that wolves will attack animals, which scares the women! "

Chiyun Yuexuan walked out of the shed and shouted, "Xu Heng, the smell of your roast lamb has attracted wolves. General, have you got any bows and arrows? "
