There is China's largest inland water system in the desert. On the surface, there is no grass growing, but deep underground, there may be raging underground rivers.

The ancient well under the ancient city seems to be connected to an underground river, and this underground river leads directly to the ancient city of Jingjue.

Everyone rested for the night in Xiye Ancient City and set off again early the next morning.

After the ancient city of Xiye is the Black Desert.

There are no Populus euphratica in this desert, and there are no undulating sand mountains in the highlands. The surrounding sand dunes have similar heights and are endless.

What comes into view is a sky full of yellow sand. The scenery is the same from any angle, without any sign of life.

Karama said that even his father and grandfather have never been here.

The scorching sun is grilling the yellow sand, and the temperature is getting higher and higher.

When I am bored, Chen Yulou will popularize history to everyone.

It is said that earlier in the Han Dynasty, Taklimakan was called the "ancient homeland". At that time, the degree of desertification in this area was not high, the rivers did not seep into the ground, and there were oases, towns, and inns everywhere...

Countless caravans came here carrying silk spices and goods for resale.

Therefore, many civilizations have been supported here.

Later, the desert eroded seriously and the living environment was harsh. Countries large and small in the desert completely declined.

The Black Desert was the first place to be abandoned, and the civilization here stopped during the Jin Dynasty.

To this day, this area is still lifeless and lifeless.

Two days later, everyone stopped at the foot of a small slope to rest while the scorching sun was obscured by a cloud.

Now, Karama can no longer lead the way, and the direction of everyone's progress depends entirely on the joint efforts of Zhang Jiuyi and Jin Abacus.

"The dragon ascends to the four fields, three yin and four yang, and the hexagram is shown in the southeast. Brother Jin, what do you think?"

Jin Abacus shook his head, took the abacus back, glanced at the sun, wiped the sweat from his head and said: "My abacus is out of accuracy. There should be some kind of special magnetic field nearby. I guess it's almost there, so I'll go first

Let’s walk southeast.”

Ye Bai looked to the southeast with a telescope, and saw that there was still boundless yellow sand.

It was a very hard day walking, and the vicious sun was baking everyone, as if it was trying to suck the last drop of moisture out of everyone.

Chen Yulou's lips were chapped and he had already finished drinking the water in the precious gourd. Just when he was about to ask Hua Ling for more, he saw something happened to the camel in front of him.

"Uncle Ye, Uncle Qi! Help!"

Karama rode his camel and sank completely into the yellow sand. In a blink of an eye, only the upper half of Karama's body was left outside.

"It's quicksand!"

Qi Xiaohei in front quickly stepped forward, switched his non-attack form to the flying rope form, and wrapped around Karama's arm.

However, the suction force of the quicksand was extremely strong, and Qi Xiaohei was dragged forward, leaving two obvious dragging footprints on the sand.

Ye Bai and others also flew off the camel, and they worked together to pull Karama back.

It's a pity that the camel has fallen deep into the quicksand and can no longer be rescued.

Karama knelt in front of the quicksand and shed a few tears. This camel had been with him for more than ten years and had already developed feelings for it. He did not expect to die here.

Chen Yulou stepped forward and patted Karama on the shoulder: "If you want to go back, we can leave some food and water for you to ride a camel back the same way."

"Uncle Chen, if I don't leave, I will help you take you to your destination."

Chen Yulou smiled and nodded.

After experiencing quicksand, everyone no longer has the lazy mentality before. Every time they walk a certain distance, they must carefully explore the path to avoid falling into quicksand again.

If the foundation under the dune is unstable or there is a large space under the sand, quicksand may occur.

In quicksand, the sand can flow like a liquid, and the suction force generated is so strong that it can engulf people in an instant.

Even if Ye Bai falls into quicksand, he may not be able to get out if he is not prepared in advance.

After that, everyone encountered another quicksand. Fortunately, Qi Xiaohei detected it in advance and no damage occurred.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh, this black desert is indeed a master of eating people without spitting out their bones.

As night falls, everyone sets up camp to rest.

Ye Bai took out a professional compass and saw the magnetic needle spinning continuously.

It should be close to the Zagrama Sacred Mountain. If Ye Bai remembers correctly, the Zagrama Sacred Mountain is two black magnetic mountains, disturbing the surrounding magnetic field.

In the original work, Hu Bayi and others also encountered problems with the compass not working.

The next day, everyone set off early.

But the strange thing is that for several days, everyone seemed to be wandering in circles and could not find the legendary Zagrama Mountain.

The compass still keeps turning, indicating that they have not left the scope of the magnetic field.

Jin Abacus couldn't help but said: "No, continuing to search like this is not the answer. The magnetic field of the sacred mountain may be interfering with us, preventing us from finding the right path."

Zhang Jiuyi also nodded. The hanging image these days has been very strange, as if it has been modified.

"Then is there any way to find the ancient city of Jingjue?" Chen Yulou asked.

"We set out at night and relied on the stars to find our way." Jin Abacus explained: "When people walk on the ground, it is easy to be blinded by the direction of the five senses, but the stars and moon in the sky are unchanged.

This article mainly talks about the feng shui of the stars, the good and bad luck of the earth, and the good and evil of the stars. I can find my way according to the trajectory of the stars."

"Okay!"

It was rare for Ye Bai to see his master so confident, so he nodded in agreement.

The fiery red sun sets, and the silvery moonlight shines.

Ye Bai and others rode camels, leaving a line of footprints on the sand dunes, but they were soon covered up by the wind and sand.

The temperature in the desert is very low at night, and everyone wears thick blankets.

Ye Bai noticed that Karama had fallen asleep on the camel.

Jin Abacus and Qi Xiaohei walked in front, changing directions three times along the way.

"Look quickly, is there Zagrama Sacred Mountain in front of you?" Jin Abacus's voice came.

The desert under the moonlight is extremely empty, thousands of miles away, and in the direction of the finger of the golden abacus, there is a faint black line at the end of the world.

Ye Bai hurriedly took out his telescope, adjusted the focus and saw that a black mountain range looked like a black dragon in the silvery yellow sand.

The mountain range is cut off in the middle, with a mountain pass.

These characteristics are the same as the descriptions and records left by the ancestors who moved mountains.

Everyone was completely sleepless, so they drove the camels and accelerated their progress.

As the saying goes, if you look at the mountain, you will be beaten to death. It is close to dawn before everyone comes to the sacred mountain.

The mountains of Zagrama are undulating and covered with black stones. The closer you get, the more eye-catching you see.

Ye Bai felt that it was better to say it was a mountain than two oversized black stones.

These two black boulders are dozens of kilometers long, with a backbone exposed in the sand sea, and more parts are buried underground.

There is only a gap in the middle for people to pass through.

After arriving here, everyone's compasses and mechanical watches completely failed.

Partridge Whistle looked solemn. Finding the true ancestral land of the Zagrama clan did not make him relieved, but made him feel deeply uneasy.
