After a few days, the team came to the edge of the desert, and could feel that the wind and sand had become significantly larger, and the wind and sand were blowing on the face painfully.

The carriage was covered with felt to prevent sand and dust from blowing into the carriage, and the people on horseback wore masks, otherwise they were afraid that their faces would be scratched by the wind and sand in a short time.

Xue Jinyi looked out through the gap in the felt, and could see the yellow sand in the distance, and the rolling sand mountains seemed to have no end in sight.

She looked at it for a moment, and then folded it up again.

It was getting colder and colder, and there had been a moderate snow on the road before, but fortunately they had been prepared, so no one in the team fell ill. Even on the edge of the desert, there will be scattered light snow at night, and it will be even colder at night, so you need to be careful.

In addition to the cold, the continuous running after leaving Gyeongju Castle also made everyone somewhat tired, and it was easy to relax their guard at this time, so that the enemy in the dark had an opportunity.

Ah Xuan sent someone to Liangzhou in advance to report the news, and after crossing the edge of the desert, there would be Wei Guogong's men and horses to meet them.

It's just that it's so close to the desert, it's quite convenient to destroy the body after killing, even if there is a "mascot" Puyang, you have to call people to be more vigilant.

Seeing that Xue Jinyi was thinking about something, Pu Yangxuan grabbed her shoulders and asked softly, "Have you seen the ruined city wall in the distance?" ”

"Nope." Xue Jinyi will "scavenge" a lot of books every time she passes through a place along the way, so she knows that there is a "Western Night Ancient City" buried under the yellow sand, and she may not show a corner when it will be revealed, so that the past business travelers can see the glory and prosperity of the past, "How can there be such a coincidence, when we can pass by, it will appear right in front of us." ”

"When Ma Zhong and I were inspecting around yesterday, I heard Shen Qingmo talking to people about the Ancient City of the West Night." Pu Yangxuan said, "It is mysterious and mysterious, which arouses everyone's interest." After all, if there is no peace, there will be no chance and time to come here, and it is natural to be curious about this mysterious and magnificent ancient city. ”

Xue Jinyi flipped through the book in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't say it, I became interested just by reading this book." Looking at Shen Qingmo's voice and eloquence, people will definitely yearn for it even more. ”

"You mean, Shen Qingmo did this on purpose?"

"Everything he does seems to be intentional." Xue Jinyi sighed: "The real purpose is mixed in, no one can guess it." Let's take this matter, he used the ancient city of the West Night to arouse everyone's interest, so when we return to the trip, someone will definitely propose to go and see, will you agree to everyone go? ”

"Yes." Pu Yangxuan nodded, "From the perspective of receiving people's hearts, after experiencing many difficulties, everyone wants to relax and look at the scenery that they have come to see along the way." I agreed, everyone was happy, and it would be easier to do things in the future. ”

"That's right." Xue Jinyi snapped her fingers, "But, why did Shen Qingmo only mention the Ancient City of the Western Night?" ”

She flipped to a certain page of the book.

"The scenery here is not only such as the ancient city of Xiye, there are several places. Is it just because the Ancient City of the West Night is one of the most mysterious? ”

Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan glanced at each other.

To say that Shen Qingmo wanted to take advantage of the danger of the Ancient City of the West Night and let them die here, is it any use? To please the Chua family?

Xue Jinyi shook her head, the way to please the Cai family, not only along the way, but when he was in Gyeongju, Shen Qingmo had many opportunities, why let them die on the return trip?

"Combined with the legend of the Ancient City of the Western Nights, I don't think it's a simple place......" she slowly voiced her suspicions.

"What's not easy?"

Xue Jinyi frowned, "There, there must be some secret that no one knows, and Shen Qingmo wants us to know it unexpectedly." ”

"Oh?" Pu Yangxuan lifted the felt and looked into the distance.

The wind and sand are a little smaller, and the bright sun shines on the desert, and the golden one is a little dazzling.

The mysterious thousand-year-old city is still dormant under the yellow sand, and no corner has been revealed.

"In the past few days, he has been getting closer and closer to Puyang." He remembered something.

"Although Ah Qiu has returned to the team, he has not made any moves these days, is he trying to change Shen Qingmo to test us?"

Puyang Xuan said: "Therefore, the purpose of the trip to the ancient city of the West Night may also be here." ”

Xue Jinyi nodded in agreement.

Pu Yangxuan smiled relaxedly, "These things, we will know the truth when we return, don't worry about it first, I see that they are all very relaxed." ”

Xue Jinyi said: "Then I'm not in a hurry, anyway, as long as we are ready, those conspiracies and tricks are all enemies asking for their own death." ”

"Ah Jin is right."

In the evening, the procession continued to stop at the post station, which stood alone on the edge of the desert, with no village dwellings on the left and right, old houses, and watchtowers "creaking" in the wind and sand, as if they could be blown down by the wind at any moment. Fortunately, the house is hung with felt or hay to prevent the wind and sand from blowing in through the cracks in the wall.

The person in charge of the post station was an old man in his sixties, and after directing his subordinates to settle the carriages and horses, he came to the hall and saluted Puyang Xuan and others.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, dinner will be ready later, and there is another thing I need to tell you and your lords." The officer's beard trembled as he spoke, and his eyes showed caution and fear.

Ma Zhong asked, "What's the matter?" But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. ”

The post officer pointed outside, "In the middle of the night, if His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the princes hear crying or other strange noises outside, don't open the window or go out to see, just don't hear it, and it will be fine." ”

"Why is that?" Ma Zhong was puzzled.

Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan also glanced at each other, and these words made the post officer say as if the post station was haunted.

Therefore, Ma Zhong asked sternly: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, and don't tell the truth?!" ”

The post officer trembled with fright, and his beard trembled even more, "Go out of the post station and walk southwest for half an hour, and you will be the ruins of the ancient city of the West Night." For thousands of years, the souls of the people who died there were trapped in the ancient city, and they could not be reincarnated, but could only cry loudly to the sky and tell their grievances when the wind and sand were calm at night. If anyone hears that cry and goes out to see it, he will be bewitched and go deep into the desert, and finally fall into the rolling yellow sand, and become one of them! ”

"......" Xue Jinyi knew that it would be this set of words, and in some mysterious areas, this kind of legend is the most lacking.

However, for her who has a profound experience when she experiences fantasy, it is difficult to say what is true or false.

Some of the people here couldn't help but be a little scared when they heard this.

Xue Jinyi glanced around and said in a warm tone: "You don't have to be afraid, you have been running around all day, going to bed early, and sleeping until dawn, who knows what noise is outside?" ”

She glanced at the few "spies" who were still mixed in the ranks.

With the so-called weeping ghosts covered, will those people be thinking about doing it?
