Many things cannot be resolved without seeing them with one's own eyes. Professor Xu is an academic and likes to argue with others. Li Chengzhi said: "Believe it or not, God is there, but you can't see it or hear it."
Professor Xu said: "If there really is a god in the ancient desert city, then I would like to ask why the ancient desert city was buried by wind and sand. Logically speaking, it should exist forever."
Li Chengzhi was asked once: "This..."
In terms of eloquence, how could he be better than a professor? He thought for a while and then said uncertainly: "Maybe he moved away or encountered foreign enemies."
When Jiang Xiu heard this, he thought, according to Xie Sanxian, there are many huge statues of gods and temples in the ancient desert city. It is not impossible to use the power of gods to fight against the natural celestial phenomena of the desert. There is no need to move, and gods can be made. The only explanation for Ti's abandonment of his location is that he encountered foreign enemies.
Professor Xu said: "Since he is a god, are there any enemies that he cannot deal with?"
Li Chengzhi said: "Of course."
"Hahaha..." Professor Xu laughed: "Master keeps talking more and more, shouldn't God control the world and be omnipotent? How can there be an enemy that cannot be defeated?"
Li Chengzhi said: "For example, a god who is more powerful than him."
Professor Xu said: "Master Li, we are doing archaeology, not writing novels. Everything must be based on the effects given by historical data and cultural relics, and cannot be based on daydreams."
If there is no evidence, you can say whatever you want, but it lacks persuasiveness.
That night, everyone slept in a tent with sleeping bags inside, which basically withstood the sudden drop in temperature in the desert late at night. However, Jiang Xiu was the only one. He brought everything with him, except for one bag he took out from his backpack. A thin layer of cloth was spread on the ground, and then he lay down on it.
For Jiang Xiu, the harsh weather in the desert and the huge temperature difference between day and night have little impact on him.
"Yinru, why aren't you sleeping yet..." Sensing Qiu Yinru moving around in the same tent, the senior student Xiaoyan beside her couldn't help but said, "We have to go on the road tomorrow?"
Qiu Yinru opened the tent a little and looked out from the gap. The campfire was burning brightly. Through the light, she saw Jiang Xiu lying alone on the sand at the far end. It would be fine if he slept like this for one night. Even if you can withstand the sudden drop in temperature, you will have to suffer a lot. You will still be buried in the yellow sand when you wake up tomorrow.
"I made you unsocial, now you have to suffer."
Qiu Yinru said: "Senior sister, do you think he is okay like this?"
Xiaoyan said: "What can happen to him? He deserves it. Who asked him to follow him? Just follow him. He didn't bring anything with him. He is treating himself as a young master. Ignore him and go to sleep. He If you really can’t stand it, you’ll bow down to professors or male classmates.”
"Little brother, are you going to sleep like this?" Cold War came out of the tent and slowly came to where Jiang Xiu was. Seeing him lying directly on the desert, he said, "Come to my place and squeeze in."
Jiang Xiu said: "It's okay, you can go to sleep."
Cold War looked at Jiang Xiu deeply. The temperature may have been below thirty degrees at this time, but Jiang Xiu was doing everything as usual. He seemed to be able to withstand the severe cold. Looking at the way his hands were used as pillows, he seemed to be relaxed and content.
He just nodded and returned to the tent, suspecting that Jiang Xiu might be a martial artist.
The night was very long, but it was a rare comfortable night for Jiang Xiu. The sky and the earth were vast in the desert, and he felt like he was merging with the heaven and earth. He held the longevity stone talisman and entered a state of cultivation.
The blood in the body gradually begins to become restless again, and the loud popping sound is the prelude to the awakening of the gods. The membrane wall in the blood factor will faintly burst, and the power hidden in the blood will break free. out.
boom!
The membrane wall suddenly exploded, and Jiang Xiu felt as if his whole body had exploded. Then it suddenly shrank back, and the divine power in his body skyrocketed.
The sixty-third divine pattern was revealed.
"Soon… "
Judging from the font, there should not be many strokes left, and a few strokes at the bottom should be the end. By then, he will have a complete divine pattern, the so-called divine rune, and become a true god.
Gods have a huge advantage over immortals, and that is the body. In addition to strength and defense, the body also includes longevity. Gods, especially high-level races, have almost infinite lifespans, while immortals have to survive tribulations again and again. To enhance longevity, in other words, if Jiang Xiu becomes a true God Queen, he will have a long lifespan, which is far beyond the reach of human beings.
Then he would have enough time to wait for his apprentice to deliver the cultivation materials to him, and he would make rapid progress all the way back to the Xianwu Continent.
The next day, Qiu Yinru was the first to wake up. When she woke up, she found that Jiang Xiu was already standing on the top of the sand dune, holding his hands behind his hands and looking up at the rising sun in the distant sky. She was surprised that he was really fine.
Members of the expedition team came out of the tent one after another.
After washing up and having breakfast, the expedition team continued to set off.
Five days later…
The sun was very strong, and it was smoking when it shone on the desert. The air was distorted and there was no moisture at all. The expedition team walked with difficulty among the sand dunes.
The entire team has lost the relaxation they felt when they first set out. Many of them looked haggard, their skin was dry, their lips were chapped and bloodshot, and it was very difficult to make any movements, like sick patients.
Physical fatigue was one thing, but what made them collapse more importantly was their hearts. The so-called Julongqiu Vein was where the Ming Dynasty army was lost. They searched for it for a long time but could not find it.
"I'm so tired, can you take a rest?"
The number of requests for breaks increased. Professor Xu, who liked to argue with others, no longer had the energy. Several students could not sit directly on the ground. It was too hot. They had to find a shady place for the camels to rest on. Go down and rest.
Li Chengzhi and his two sons are doing relatively well, but they are not much better. They lick their lips from time to time and are very tired. The situation is slightly better for the two soldiers, one in front and one in the back, who carry their backs all the time. Armed with submachine guns, even at this time, when they were too tired to even move their fingers, they remained vigilant.
Only Jiang Xiu was still as calm as when he first set off.
"What kind of monster is this? Isn't he tired?"
Shen Dewen and others couldn't figure it out. This kid had such good physical strength, better than any soldier. He had been tortured in the desert for so many days, and yet he seemed to be fine.
"what sound?"
They felt that the whole ground was shaking and approaching, and gunshots were heard. Everyone was startled. Suddenly, the entire hot sand dune area fell into panic. The people who were sitting on the ground to rest quickly stood up. stand up.
"What happened?"
Beep beep beep... machine gun fire.
"This, this isn't gunfire, is it?"
Shen Dewen and other students looked even more frightened.
"Yes, everyone, get down..." The two soldiers were too familiar with the sound of gunfire. They immediately gathered towards the center with submachine guns and shouted at everyone.
The sound was getting closer and closer. Jiang Xiu looked over and saw two people running away in front of him. They seemed to be a man and a woman. Behind them, there was a group of people chasing them.
It would have been fine if they had fled somewhere else, but the direction they fled was exactly towards them.
"It's Meng Fei's gang!" Xiao Zhang shouted.
"What should I do, captain?"
Cold War's mind was spinning fast. Their mission was to protect the safety of the expedition team, but the two people outside were being chased by desert bandits and they couldn't help but die.
What's more, they have also been exposed.
"Do it!"
Cold War lowered his figure and turned towards the other side, while Xiao Zhang also turned around from the other side. The professors, experts and students were frightened to death.
Beep beep beep... Gunshots kept coming from the air.
With a bang, the man fell to the ground, and the blood on his chest kept pouring out, saying: "Hurry, miss, hurry up..." He died on the spot before he could finish his words.
"Fourth uncle!"
Tears fell from the woman's eyes, she gritted her teeth and threw the body away, running for her life.
"is her!?"
Jiang Xiu was surprised. This woman was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was extremely beautiful. Even though she was in such a miserable state, she still couldn't hide her beauty. She turned out to be Xie Sanxian's daughter, Xie Ting.
"Why is she here?"
