The Queen of Jingjue asked me to go rob a tomb

Chapter 117 An Liman

Three days later, a group of people went ashore.

In addition to the boat fare paid by Shirley Yang, Lu Zihan left another 50 for Ruan Laohei and Duoling.

Ruan Laohei has never seen so much money in his life, and he is very grateful to Lu Zihan and the others.

With this money, there is no need to go to France, finding a better place to live is better than anything else.

Afterwards, the few people took a short rest at the Coral Temple, and then left the South China Sea.

Take the green leather train and set off for the next destination!
Because Zhang Qiling helped Shirley Yang retrieve the British notebook, he joined the archaeological team as a matter of course.

On the westbound train, Shirley Yang was studying her notebook alone in the carriage.

The four of Lu Zihan squeezed into the same carriage, drinking beer, eating melon seeds, and playing poker.

What a rare leisure!
As soon as Shirley Yang came in, the fat man's stinky feet were so smoked that he almost fell down.

"What's wrong, Miss Yang?"

"There is something I want to discuss with you!"

Then Shirley Yang took out a hand-drawn map and said, "This is the route I planned based on the clues provided in Mr. Walter's diary."

"My idea is to meet Professor Chen and the others at Bosten Lake first, and then start from there, look south for the ancient Kongque River channel, pass through there into the depths of the desert, and go down along the Ziduan River to find the remains of the ancient city of Jingjue."

"I want to ask for your opinion."

Shirley Yang's tone was very sincere, and it was rare to let go of her pride.

The fat man raised his eyebrows, and conveyed to them with his eyes, "Is this American girl harboring some conspiracy again?"

Lu Zihan smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that the two of them were not talking to each other, Hu Bayi had no choice but to reach out and take the map.

But when he glanced at the map, he couldn't help but frown.

Shirley Yang asked, "Mr. Hu, is there any question?"

Hu Bayi shook his head, "Miss Yang, with all due respect, the plan you made is too fantastic."

"Who dares to take a zigzag route in the desert, isn't that the same as going around in circles in the desert? Even if we don't die of thirst and starvation, we will all die of exhaustion in the desert in the end!"

Shirley Yang retorted, "Mr. Hu, this is already the shortest route I can plan on the map."

Hu Bayi waved his hand, "It's not a matter of long and short roads, you don't even know what's in the desert!"

"The most important thing is that now is the wind season, and it is also the most dangerous time in the desert. Everyone's life safety cannot be guaranteed if you enter rashly."

At this moment, Lu Zihan stretched out his hand and patted Hu Bayi, signaling to calm down first.

He knew very well that the only way to find the Jingjue ancient city was during the windy season.

Moreover, Lu Zihan's trip was to help the queen solve the corpse problem, and the archaeological team was just passing by.

So he turned to Shirley Yang and said, "Old Hu has rich experience in desert combat. He said that your route is not feasible, so it is not feasible."

Xue Liyang opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but Lu Zihan interrupted coldly, "Listen to me first."

Shirley Yang suddenly looked like an angry little girl, but she really calmed down.

Lu Zihan then said, "Actually, you don't need to worry about Bosten Lake or the Kongque River. You just need to know that our final destination is Jingjue Ancient City. The most critical clue to find Jingjue Ancient City lies in Zidu Dark River."

"The Zidu dark river once nurtured countless countries. Maybe it was really a big river flowing endlessly at that time, but it has been submerged under the sand at this moment."

"So how to find the Zidu dark river has become our biggest problem right now."

Shirley Yang thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Lu Zihan continued, "So it's completely meaningless for you to draw routes on the map with blunt surveying and mapping tools."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Shirley Yang said aggrievedly, "Should we wait until we enter the desert and then explore a little bit?"

Lu Zihan shook his head, "Of course not."

"I think, after all, this Zidu dark river used to be the largest river in the desert. Even if it is buried under the desert, it may not really dry up,"

"I think as long as it is still flowing, even if it becomes a dark river, there are always traces to follow."

Shirley Yang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Lu Zihan nodded, "However, judging from the difficulties brought about by the windy season, we alone are not enough. We must find a local guide who is very familiar with the desert before departure."

"So regarding this route planning, I think it will be practical only after the guides join in and discuss it together."

Shirley Yang thought about it, and felt that what Lu Zihan said made sense.

"Okay, when I get to the place, I'll go find the guide immediately!"

Lu Zihan smiled mysteriously, "I already have candidates for the guide, but I need to use Professor Chen's contacts!"

……

After going around several times, the green pickup finally drove unsteadily into a small town on the edge of Bosten Lake.

After getting out of the car, I saw Professor Chen and his party waiting outside.

"Uncle Chen!"

"Professor Chen!"

"Xue Li, Xiao Hu, I have finally waited for you! How is it? Is Nan Hai's work going well?"

Shirley Yang nodded, and took Walt's notebook out of the bag.

Professor Chen laughed and said, "Okay, okay, with this notebook, we will have a greater chance of finding the ancient city of Jingjue!"

Hao Aiguo was also excited, "Teacher, let's set off right away!"

"Uncle Chen, I have something to discuss with you!"

"what's up?"

Then Shirley Yang told Lu Zihan what she had said in the car.

After hearing this, Professor Chen nodded.

Finding another local guide is also for safety reasons, no problem!
"But I have to say hello to the mayor myself, this..."

Professor Chen looked at Lu Zihan, "Little Lu, who is this guide?"

Lu Zihan smiled and said, "He's at the police station, you'll know when we get there!"

"Fine!"

Professor Chen nodded, and then went to the mayor's office.

After a while, he walked out with a collaborative document.

Although Professor Chen's action this time was personally sponsored by Shirley Yang, it was related to the civilization of the ancient Western Regions, and the higher authorities also attached great importance to it.

So all the departments along the way have already taken care of it.

After ten minutes,
The crowd showed up at the town's police station.

Professor Chen Shirley and Yang went to the director's office to understand the situation, while Lu Zihan and others were left in the yard.

The fat man asked in a low voice, "Old Lu, you think the guide is the police? The whole police are on the road with us, and it's not easy to act if we find anything on the road!"

Lu Zihan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, it's not the police!"

"Not the police?"

"Don't worry, you'll know in a while!"

not long,

Professor Chen and Shirley Yang came out, nodded to everyone and said, "Xiao Lu is right, there is indeed an old man who has found a livestock business here."

"The old man's name is Eshaiti Aimati, but his name is no longer called. People call him An Liman, which means a living map in the desert."

Desert live map?
When everyone heard it, it was so powerful!

Shirley Yang also nodded and said, "This An Liman is very good, and he also has a good camel. I heard that even the children in the town know that you need to bring three things to the desert, water, camels, and An Liman. "

However, Hao Aiguo noticed that the teacher hesitated to speak, so he asked, "Teacher, is there something wrong with An Liman?"

Professor Chen glanced at Lu Zihan, then frowned and said, "A while ago, An Liman brought a group of foreigners into the desert, but they came back after a few days, and they came back by themselves."

"The police station went to investigate the whereabouts of those foreigners, but An Liman didn't know anything about it, so he was detained in the police station."

"what?"

"He...he threw people into the desert?!!"

"Teacher, we can't have such a guide! We can't entrust our lives to such people!"

Lu Zihan glanced at him, and said calmly, "Don't think too much, he must be the guide this time."

Lu Zihan knew better than anyone the danger of the Black Desert.

And An Liman is precisely the guarantee for this trip to the desert.

Although this old boy's character is not very good, Lu Zihan is confident that he has the means to handle him.

Seeing Lu Zihan's persistence, Professor Chen must be very confident.

So he nodded and said, "Then let's meet first!"
