Simultaneous travel: I have forged an immortal name in the heavens

Chapter 15 [Return to rest, the journey comes to a temporary end]

It is not easy to travel through the vast desert.

Even if you are fully prepared, accidents may happen at any time and you may die in the desert.

The scorching sun burned the earth and the air became distorted.

But when the archaeological team first set out to look for the ancient city of Jingjue, they were like headless flies flying around.

The return journey is much easier now.

After a day of rest.

Taking advantage of the night, the temperature is cool and even a little chilly.

Yang An and his companions filled up all the kettles they could, and then set off back along the same route they had come.

The route is very clear.

As long as they don't get lost and there is enough water, they will be able to get out.

More than half of the food was lost because several camels ran away, but it was still sufficient and people did not feel lucky.

The food was plentiful because four members of the team had died.

It makes people feel heavy.

Before leaving, there is one more thing to do.

It was to bury Ye Yixin's body that Yang An had carried all the way out.

It is definitely impossible to bring Ye Yixin's body back. If we are unlucky, it might take us more than half a month to get there.

Even if I bring it with me, it will definitely rot in such hot weather.

So after "seeking" Ye Yixin's consent, Yang An took the photo to prove in the future that Ye Yixin was sacrificed, not missing.

She was then buried not far from the puddle and a simple funeral was held.

"Team Leader Ye, just go with peace of mind. We will take good care of your family. And Professor Chen, please rest assured that your contribution to archaeology will surely be remembered by future generations."

Shirley Yang lowered her eyes, her voice hoarse and a little tearful, as she paid her last respects to Ye Yixin.

Hu Bayi and Fatty couldn't bear to see this, so they squatted aside and shared a cigarette.

The fat guy was really cruel. All the supplies were gone, but the cigarettes he brought with him were still intact.

"By the way, Master Yang, how did you discover Ye Yixin's ghost?"

Hu Bayi walked up to Yang An and gave him a cigarette, then asked Yang An curiously.

Yang An didn't answer immediately.

He stood on the sand dune, watching from afar the ghost of Ye Yixin, who was also kneeling in front of Shirley Yang and could not be seen by ordinary people, slowly disappearing and fading.

Before disappearing, she looked towards Yang An with tears of gratitude, bowed deeply, and then turned into invisible.

Now, a regret has been made up.

Yang An sighed. Perhaps Ye Yixin didn't want to be left in the ghost cave because her soul might also be bound in the ghost cave, just like the prophet's soul.

Of course, these were just his guesses. Yang An did not hide anything and told everyone what happened in the stone chamber.

Professor Chen was almost possessed by Ye Yixin. At that time, Ye Yixin was still a vengeful ghost. If he had really been possessed, the consequences would have been disastrous.

When Hu Bayi heard this, his expression turned serious. He struck a match and lit a cigarette for Yang An. He thought for a while before speaking.

"That was really dangerous. Fortunately, Master Yang stopped it in time."

Yang An nodded.

"When you have time later, Lao Hu, can you tell me the differences between evil spirits, vengeful ghosts, and ordinary ghosts?"

"No problem, let's talk on the way."

As the two chatted, they went to sort out the supplies on the camel.

But no one noticed.

An almost invisible golden light appeared from the dissipated soul of Ye Yixin and penetrated deep into Yang An's body.

Wait for Shirley Yang to come back.

They all set off on camels.

Hu Bayi continued to tell his judgment while riding on a camel: The ghost of this dead person is actually afraid of people.

Because humans have strong yang energy, if a ghost wants to possess them, it may be burned to ashes.

Generally, those who encounter ghosts are weak children or patients.

They do not have strong Yang energy, and some even have more Yin than Yang, so they are prone to encountering wandering ghosts, commonly known as encountering evil spirits.

On the one hand, Professor Chen's old body could no longer support the long journey, and he was also in low spirits, which almost gave Ye Yixin an opportunity to take advantage of him.

"Besides, Fatty and I both have holy objects like the black donkey hoof to ward off evil spirits. Miss Yang has the authentic tomb-grabbing talisman. Little Master Yang, you don't need to tell us, so the four of us are all fine."

Maybe it was because Hu Bayi got Yang An's promise that the promised reward would be doubled, and he became more talkative after getting what he had lost back.

The fat man also interrupted at this time, looking forward to doing something with a large amount of "unspendable money".

For example, open a small shop like Da Jin Ya and buy a house.

Hu Bayi joked that he had never thought about getting married. Fatty Wang was not convinced and said that women would only slow down his pace of making money, and he would be able to find any woman when he had money.

It turned out that Shirley Yang's face turned ugly.

He quickly changed his words and said with a wry smile that he had been single for more than 30 years, and it was unknown whether a decent girl would like him. He should just take it as it comes.

Yang An snickered on the side.

Uncle Anliman has changed the most now, and he is very awed by Yang An.

What's more, now that they are about to set off for home, the relationship between everyone has become harmonious.

Anliman said that they should now head west, and once they reach the Tarim River, the largest inland river in the desert, it would be easy to find human habitation.

The whole process is expected to take about half a month.

There was nothing worth mentioning along the way, as we spent most of the time rushing.

Yang An used this time to ask Hu Bayi a lot of knowledge about tomb robbing, feng shui and astrology.

It is said that Hu Bayi should keep this thing tightly and not tell anyone else, but it also depends on who he tells it to.

He and Fatty wanted to make friends with Yang An, so they answered all his questions. Yang An's half-baked knowledge of tomb robbing was also improving by leaps and bounds.

The ninth day of the journey home.

Under the guidance of Yang An using [Desertification], everyone was lucky enough to find a troop that was training. Fortunately, they were almost caught as spies gathering intelligence.

Later, their identities were confirmed from the capital.

Finally escaped from trouble.

This matter alarmed many senior leaders.

Because Yang An and Shirley Yang have special identities, on the one hand, this Sino-foreign joint venture archaeological team has attracted much attention, and on the other hand, both of them are big bosses.

They had been missing for more than three months, but they managed to emerge from the desert alive. This is worth celebrating.

And it's not just that.

The serious consequences that were imagined, such as the death of a professor, three students and a crazy person in the archaeological team, did not occur.

Of course, censorship still took place.

However, the five of them were very tight-lipped. Seventy percent of their stories were true and three were false. They only concealed their real identities, and explained everything else clearly. They were not troubled at all.

Until one month after we escaped from the Jingjue Ancient City.

The group returned to the capital.

Hu Bayi and Fatty went back to rest.

Yang An was invited and met many people and talked a lot.

The two sides exchanged cordial greetings, had friendly exchanges and worked closely together.

After all, Yang An has a special identity. On the one hand, he is a world-renowned writer, and on the other hand, he is a financial tycoon with a net worth of over 100 million.

After negotiations, Yang An finally made a big move and signed more than a dozen joint projects at one go, with a total investment of more than 30 million US dollars, which is of great significance.

This is also to make things easier in the future.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
