Ma Chengfeng patted his forehead and regretted not being at the beginning.

"It's not that simple. Before we came, we inquired with the best folks in the oil town, and in recent years, desertification has been very serious, and the living conditions have become worse and worse. Hardly any ethnic minority wants to stay in the desert anymore. You see, in such a large ancient city, where does the water they drink come from? The ancient city is surrounded by desert and there are no roads, how can supplies be delivered? Xiao Man said.

"I'm afraid these can only be known by asking the people in the city, walk, go in and have a look, and see if there are any treasures in this ancient city." Ma Chengfeng is a very adaptable person, wherever he goes, he follows the customs of the locals, and when he sees the scene of singing and dancing in the ancient city, he can't help but yearn for it.

The two of them rode down the sand dunes on camels, and in front of them were the gates of the ancient city. Two large red lanterns hang in front of the city gate, like a lighthouse on the seashore at night, illuminating the direction for travelers.

In the city gates, people come in and out, so it is not prosperous.

They soon blended into the crowd, and the merchants came and went, dressed in a variety of clothes, some modern Han Chinese, others old Persians, and even some blonde foreigners. These people, regardless of their identities with each other, will greet each other in a friendly manner in their own national language after meeting.

"Hello, Tai-kun?" Ma Chengfeng rode a camel and greeted a "yellow hair" who came over.

Xiao Man looked disgusted. "Oh, don't talk nonsense!"

"What do you know, it's not strange that this is called a courtesy, look at people, how friendly they are, maybe this is the strange style of a small border town." The two of them mixed in the crowd and had already walked to the gate of the ancient city.

The city is a main road, and there are shops on both sides of the road, and in front of the shops are constantly hawking vendors, buying all kinds of things, including tea and porcelain from the mainland, Mongolian mare's milk wine, and even a foreigner selling gold coins from his country. There are so many products that only you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't sell.

Ma Chengfeng stood in front of the city gate, only hating that he didn't have a few more eyeballs. He hurriedly touched his pocket, but fortunately, he brought enough money to buy a full bowl.

"Daughter-in-law, I can polish my tricks for a while, I think that the experience is that this kind of place is mixed, and most of them are Xibei goods."

"Cheng Feng, I think ...... I think we might as well go back, even if you want to go in and have a look, then let's wait until dawn tomorrow morning and call Cashura and Chu Tianyue to talk. ”

Ma Chengfeng said disdainfully: "Hey, this is your mistake, do you think your master's eyesight is not good?" It's not me who blows, don't look at Chu Tianyue is studying archaeology, but in the antique industry, our eyesight is no worse than hers. ”

Xiao Man doesn't mean this, this ancient city appeared in the center of the desert in vain, it really can't be explained, Taklamakan is known as the Desert of Death, although thousands of years ago this was the Silk Road, there are six countries in the desert, but after so many years, the six countries of the Western Regions have long been swallowed by the yellow sand. The ancient city in front of me is too big to appear out of thin air. Although Chang Xiaoman can't explain all this yet, a sense of foreboding has faintly risen in his heart.

"Hara whistle, Mao Yi Drucker ......" Chang Xiaoman was about to persuade him to give up. At this time, a blonde and blue-eyed "old hairyman" inside the city gate waved at them and began to peddle his wares.

He opened the old suitcase, which was full of vodka. Ma Chengfeng is also a good wine, and imported vodka was rare but undesirable in that era. It's early spring, and the temperature in the desert plummets at nightfall, and everyone needs these spirits to warm up.

"Holy, so much? That's a lot of fun! Xiaoman, you wait for me, I'll go in and buy two bottles and let's go. ”

"Huh? You...... You're back! As soon as Xiao Man looked up, Ma Chengfeng had already passed through the ancient city gate on a camel.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud bang in the desert behind them. The gunfire immediately startled Ma Chengfeng, and he thought that someone was attacking, so he quickly tightened the reins and ran out of the city gate on a camel.

"What's going on?" He shouted.

The two of them glanced at the desert together, and a figure appeared on the sand dune where they had stopped just now, and the man didn't know what to hold in his hand, and the thing shot a dazzling silver light in the night, as if a star had fallen into the world.

The man seemed to be shouting something to them, but they couldn't hear it because of the distance.

Chang Xiaoman looked at the people on the sand dunes, then looked back at the prosperous scene in the ancient city, and hesitated for a moment.

"Cheng Feng! Come on! This time, she didn't allow Ma Chengfeng to contradict herself, turned around and grabbed the reins of Ma Chengfeng's camel, and galloped towards the sand dunes.

"Cheng Feng! Xiao Man! Come back! Don't go in!! After running for more than a mile, I finally heard the man's shout, and it turned out that Cashura was looking for it with a crystal ball.

Kashura rode down on her camel and came down.

"You? What are you doing here? Ma Chengfeng asked with a smile.

"That's what I should ask you! Do you have to follow that group of people, Xiao Man didn't stop you? Khasilla angrily scolded him.

"Hey...... It's not that serious, haven't we discovered the New World, you see, such a big city, we can use this place as a transit station for supplies in the future. Ma Chengfeng turned around and pointed to the bustling ancient city and said.

"You, you! And a pair of ghost eyes! I think you're a Tang monk! ”

Ma Chengfeng smiled and said, "Yo, what does that mean?" Apprentice, come on, then open your eyes and tell the teacher, what's the trick in this ancient city? ”

In the past, Kashura was on the opposite side of them, and Wushuang privately sent her to investigate Ma Chengfeng many times. Ma Chengfeng has a shortcoming, and the biggest shortcoming is that he is too conceited. But he has a good life, since he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he has been surrounded by his friends, and he has people to discuss things together.

"When will you get rid of this conceited problem? Keep your eyes open and see clearly! Casilla held up the crystal ball in her hand and muttered an ancient gypsy incantation as she watched as a ray of moonlight fell from the sky. The crystal ball burst out with dazzling brilliance again.

As the light in the crystal ball faded, a blurry scene appeared inside.

"Huh?" When Ma Chengfeng saw the scene in the crystal ball, he couldn't close his mouth in shock, and almost sat down on the ground.

Khashura held the crystal ball in the direction of the bustling desert ancient city, but the image in the crystal ball was completely different from what everyone saw with the naked eye.
