The sound of the saxophone reached Liang Wan's ears. Liang Wan stood up when he heard the sound and looked at the place where the sound came from.
Li Cu held the telescope in his hand. He watched Liang Wan get up and said in surprise, "She's reacting."
Su Wan stopped playing and said: "If you sing about beauty, even in the center of the desert, people will still hear Gibran's Sand and Foam." After that, he started to play again.
In the moonlit white desert, layers of tiny ripples began to rise. These ripples became more and more intense, and slowly turned into waves of sand, which began to spread in all directions. Some tentacle-like black shadows in the sand waves peeked out of the sand from time to time.
"Stop bragging," Li Cu shouted to stop Su Wan.
The sound suddenly stopped, and the sand waves became quiet.
Li Cu frowned and said: "The sound of the saxophone resonated with the sand, making Snake Cypress think there are creatures on all the sand dunes."
"Keep blowing, don't stop!" Zhang Qiling shouted to Su Wan, and then ran towards Liang Wan.
Hearing this, Su Wan looked at Li Cu, Li Cu nodded, and the music started again.
Liang Wan was a little confused by the wave just now. She looked at the vines sticking out of the sand around her. She picked up her bag and fled. After a few steps, a vine grabbed her ankle. She was tripped to the ground and the vine pulled her. As she stepped back, she kicked her legs desperately and screamed loudly.
Zhang Qiling ran over, pulled out the ancient black gold sword from behind, and slashed it on the vines of the Hydra board.
As soon as her feet were loosened, Liang Wan stopped in place. Zhang Qiling grabbed her and said, "Run!"
Along the way, more and more Hydra cypresses stretched out from the sand to chase them, and some even stood in front of them.
Liang Wan looked at the twisting snake cypress in front of her, with a look of horror on her face. "There are some in front of me, too!" Her pace slowed down as she spoke.
Zhang Qiling frowned and looked at her, "Don't stop!" After saying that, he pulled her and continued running. When the Hydra cypress in front of them was about to touch them, he slashed it with a knife, and the Hydra cypress was divided into two parts in an instant. two.
With sand flying behind him, Zhang Qiling dragged Liang Wan all the way back to where Li Cu and the others were staying.
Liang Wan knelt on the ground and gasped, his mind going blank.
"Are you okay, Sister Wan?" Li Cu and the others came over, trying to help Liang Wan up from the ground.
Liang Wan hugged Li Cu's neck, buried his head on his shoulder and cried.
Her tears fell heavily, making Li Cu's shoulders wet.
Su Wan and Yang Hao squatted next to them. Yang Hao said: "Li Cu, you are taking advantage of others' danger. You are not a brother enough."
"Zhang Qiling and I are heroes. Look, my mouth is swollen." Su Wan showed his mouth to him.
"Sister Wan, don't cry." Yang Hao looked at him and said, "I'm still waiting." After speaking, he opened his hands and waited for Liang Wan to hug him.
Liang Wan let go of Li Cu and whispered, "Go away, none of you should pay attention to me." After saying that, he stood up and walked aside.
Seeing her leaving, Yang Hao said to the three of them: "You three, don't move. I'll do it this time." After that, he walked in the direction where Liang Wan left.
A few people set up the tent, found some flammable materials from the car, and built a bonfire. Liang Wan and Yang Hao also came back, and several people sat down around the bonfire.
"Li Cu went to help you, you gave him a hug, and I comforted you, why didn't you pay attention to me?" Yang Hao said aggrievedly.
Liang Wan took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack, threw it to Yang Hao, and said in a cold tone: "This is the only thing I have left."
Yang Hao finally compressed the biscuit and shook it at the other people.
"Is this the Gu Tongjing you are talking about?" Liang Wan asked, looking at the white sand around him, "Are the ones you saw today the ones you told me about before?"
"This is not Gutongjing yet," Li Cu looked up at the sky, "but we are not far from the entrance. In fact, I have no idea how to go next."
"Forget it, don't worry," Su Wan looked at them, "I think everyone should rest today, Yali, Wu Xie must have a clue when he asked you to come here."
Hearing this, Li Cu looked at Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling noticed his gaze and smiled, "Don't worry, someone will come with clues soon."
Hearing this, all the monks were confused.
"Have you finished your homework?" Su Wan asked suddenly, "I have to take a mock test when I go back, and the homework will also count for points."
Li Cu leaned back and lay directly on the sand, "Whatever, you can lend it to me when the time comes."
"You make the same mistakes every time, which makes me miserable." Su Wan complained.
"You guys chat," Yang Hao pointed to the tent, "I'm going to pack the quilt and go to bed." After that, he stood up and went back.
"Yali, I'm going to bed too, good night." Su Wan carefully looked at their faces for a few times, then turned around and entered the tent.
Li Cu sat up and looked at Liang Wan, "Sister Wan, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Go to bed."
"Can you not sleep too hard tonight?" Liang Wan whispered, "If there is danger, can I call you?"
"Of course," Li Cu looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't sleep too hard."
"No matter where you go tomorrow or whatever you encounter, don't stay too far away from me." A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and she got up and returned to her separate tent.
After she left, Su Wan walked out of the tent and sat next to Li Cu. Li Cu smiled and kicked him, then looked at Zhang Qiling, "Aren't you going to rest?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head and said nothing.
Li Cu looked up at the starry sky, "Let's talk?"
"I'm listening." Su Wan responded.
Li Cu: "When I went into the desert with Wu Xie and the others, I always felt that I could escape death, but this time it was different. Several times I felt that we were about to be destroyed by him. I didn't know what we would encounter next. , I don’t know if I can take you out.”
"I'm still here," Zhang Qiling looked at him, "I think my body is quite strong, and it's more than enough to take you out."
Su Wan looked at Zhang Qiling and said, "Although you are very powerful, I don't think you can save everyone with so many of us."
Zhang Qiling chuckled lightly, "That's because you don't understand my body. You will understand after you go out and ask about the Iron Triangle on the road."
"Look" Li Cu asked the two of them to look up, "this is the starry sky that only we can see when we were children."
"Yes" Su Wan nodded.
"Actually, this is pretty good," Li Cu stood up, "Whatever the college entrance examination, re-study, divorce, it has nothing to do with me." Li Cu took a few steps forward and looked up at the sky, "Su Wan, you Doesn’t this look like the Northern Lights?”
Li Cu raised his hand and pointed at the green, twisted, and glowing ribbons in the sky.
Su Wan raised his head, "There is no peculiar smell, and it looks like ionization." Su Wan's eyes suddenly changed, "This looks like phosphorescence."
Li Cu walked back and asked, "What is phosphorescence?"
"Yali, maybe there are all dead people buried under the sand," Su Wan guessed: "It's extremely hot and humid during the day, and everything evaporates at night."
"Su Wan, look at this phosphorescent outline," Li Cu pointed to the sky, "Some places are thick and some are shallow. Does it look like some kind of pattern?"
"Based on the size and volume of this pattern, it seems to be the various outlines of huge ancient buildings buried under the desert." Su Wan looked at Li Cu with shocked eyes.
"I wonder why it looks so familiar." Li Cu took out the map from his bag, "Around this building, there are snakes and cypresses that attack humans and drag them underground. That's why there are corpses underground here, leading to things like this. The phosphorescence of the child.”
"According to this pattern and this drawing, should we be here?" Su Wan pointed to the entrance of Gutongjing.
"Yes!" Li Cu said in surprise.
While the two were talking, Zhang Qiling stood up suddenly and looked into the distance.
His movements attracted the attention of the two people. They followed his gaze and saw a figure in the distance holding a lamp in his hand and slowly approaching them.
