Which channel should we choose for the bottom line?
Bai Jing looked at the location of the prophet's corpse and said, "Look, the prophet has already shown us the way."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the prophet's corpse on the ground. Due to the violent tremor, the prophet's body had also collapsed to the ground, and his hand was pointing towards the leftmost passage.
Upon seeing this, everyone was overjoyed.
This prophet is truly remarkable. Even after so many years of death, he still points out the escape route for future generations. He is truly great.
But now everyone was too afraid to delay and immediately ran in the direction the prophet had indicated.
Bai Jing was the first to carry Professor Chen on his back and rush towards the leftmost passage.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Shirley Yang no longer hesitated and immediately followed Bai Jing's steps, rushing into the leftmost passage.
The passage was quite long; it took the group about five or six minutes to walk through it before they came out.
After they came out, everyone looked up at the sky and found that the whole world was filled with endless sandstorms.
Just as the prophecy foretold, the escape route appeared, but so did the black sandstorm.
Relying on his strong sense of direction, Bai Jing quickly found An Liman and the others who were left behind.
Everyone wanted to leave quickly and find a place to shelter from the wind.
However, the sandstorm was too intense, so the group could only arrange the camels in a circle and then begin building sand-blocking mounds. The rest was up to fate.
The sandstorm was getting stronger, but luckily there were camels nearby, so everyone would move around every now and then to shake the sand off their bodies.
It was around 10 or 11 p.m. at this time.
In other words, the group actually only stayed in the Jingjue Ancient City for about five hours.
No one knew when the sandstorm would stop, but no one dared to rest, fearing they would be buried by the sandstorm.
This sandstorm lasted for a long time, blowing until about noon the next day.
For such a long time, no one had been able to eat or drink anything. Except for Bai Jing, everyone eventually collapsed from exhaustion.
After the sandstorm completely stopped, Bai Jing was the first to get up. He looked at the distant Zaglama Mountain and the ancient city of Jingjue.
Immediately, Bai Jing realized that the ancient city of Jingjue had been buried by the sandstorm that had lasted for a day.
It was already May, and it was very likely that this black sandstorm was the last sandstorm of the wind season.
In other words, if you want to visit Jingjue Ancient City again, you'll have to wait until next year.
Immediately, Bai Jing began rescuing people, first Hu Bayi, then Wang Pangzi. After Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi woke up, they looked at their surroundings and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Perhaps it was the laughter of Bai Jing and the other two that woke up the rest of the people.
First it was Sadi Peng, then Chu Jian, and then Professor Hao and Shirley Yang.
Professor Chen was dehydrated for a long time and was physically weak, so he finally woke up slowly.
But after waking up and drinking a few sips of water, he fainted again.
Bai Jing examined Professor Chen's pulse and quickly discovered that Professor Chen's condition was very bad, and it was not just due to fatigue and weakness.
Everyone immediately decided to leave.
However, although Bai Jing had previously said that Sadi Peng, Chu Jian, and Ye Yixin had left first, seeing the three of them again now inevitably reminded him of his previous experience in the underground of the Jingjue Ancient City.
Chapter 181 Confession Bureau
However, everyone knows that if they don't leave soon, there might be more unforeseen circumstances.
Although they replenished some water in the underground river of the Jingjue Ancient City, it was still quite limited, and they didn't know if they could last until they reached the ruins of the Gumo Kingdom.
So, without delay, they quickly replenished their food and water supplies, put Professor Chen on the camel, and set off immediately.
Just as Bai Jing had guessed, the windy season had passed, and they did not encounter any more sandstorms along the way.
However, they really didn't have much water left.
Most importantly, Professor Chen's condition is not optimistic, and he must leave the desert and return to the city as soon as possible.
The water has finally reached its end.
However, after some calculations, they realized it would take them another day to reach the well where Prince Gu Mo's tomb was located. At this point, were they really going to fall at the very last step?
At this moment, it seemed as if there was no hope left. After everyone got up that morning, they did not set off immediately. They knew that in the desert in May, it was truly deadly if you didn't drink water for a day.
So they gave up the fight and decided to just wait to die there.
Even Bai Jing was at a loss for what to do at this moment, because all directions were death, and there was no sign of life.
This was a crisis that Bai Jing had never encountered before.
Even though Bai Jing possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary people, there was a power he could not resist.
Bai Jing sometimes thought how wonderful it would be if he had a fish-shaped talisman in his hand right now.
The three divination symbols in his hand—the dragon symbol to summon thunder, the phoenix symbol to summon fire, and the rat symbol to control himself—were all ineffective in resolving his current predicament.
If you have a fish-shaped talisman, you should be able to summon rain.
But if it's not there, it's not there.
Bai Jing, Hu Bayi, and Shirley Yang lay down on the sand dune in order.
Shirley Yang suddenly spoke up: "In the end, I still dragged everyone down with me."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi said weakly, "We've come to this point, so let's not talk about being implicated or not. We're all in the same boat now."
Shirley Yang said, "I'm different from you guys."
Bai Jing finally spoke up at this moment: "What you said is different. You should be saying that you are a descendant of the Prophet Tribe, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shirley Yang turned to look at Bai Jing on Hu Bayi's other side and said, "It seems you guessed it."
Bai Jing smiled and said, "I do know some of the legends of the Zaglama tribe."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi looked at Bai Jing and asked, "What legend?"
Bai Jing said, "Legend has it that the Zaglama clan is cursed, and none of its members can live past the age of forty. Old Hu, do you remember the Mountain Moving Taoist lineage I told you about?"
Hu Bayi, lying on the ground, nodded and said, "I remember you said that although the Mountain Moving Taoists are one of the four major tomb raiding sects, they don't raid tombs for the gold and silver treasures inside, but to find the Danzhu, which is also known as the Muchen Pearl."
Bai Jing nodded and said, "I didn't quite understand before, but since I came to this Jingjue Ancient City, I've figured everything out."
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang both looked at Bai Jing, not understanding.
He figured something out.
Bai Jing then said, "In order to explore the secrets of the Ghost Cave, the priests of the Zaglama tribe made a replica of the Jade Eye, which led to the entire tribe being cursed. The only way to lift the curse is to use the real Jade Eye for a ritual."
When I fought the monster in the imaginary space in the Ghost Cave, I noticed that although the monster was just a skeleton, it had a hole in its forehead. I suppose this so-called jade eye must be the monster's third eye.
Combining this with the story of the Mountain-Moving Taoist, we can conclude that the Muchen Pearl he sought was actually the third eye of that monstrous serpent.
Bai Jing's excuse was just to fool Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi.
He knows more than anyone else.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing turned to Shirley Yang, who was standing next to Hu Bayi, and said, "Miss Yang, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a descendant of the Mountain Moving Taoist lineage, right?"
Shirley Yang was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sat up, unbuttoned her shirt, revealing the red curse mark on her back, and said, "Everyone in our clan, including our descendants, has this red curse mark. This is the mark of the curse on the Zagrama clan."
Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi sat up in surprise.
Then Shirley Yang put on her clothes, took off a piece of jewelry from her neck, and handed it to Hu Bayi.
Hu Bayi didn't pay much attention at first, but when he got his hands on the item, it startled him.
Hu Bayi sat up abruptly and looked at the object in his hand.
Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang with some surprise and asked, "A tomb raiding talisman?"
Shirley Yang nodded and said, "Yes, the Tomb Raider Talisman."
Hu Bayi looked left and right, and finally took off the tomb raiding talisman around his neck. After comparing it, he wished he could just throw his own talisman away.
The difference between the two tomb raiding talismans is far too great.
That's a real tomb raiding talisman!
Seeing this, Bai Jing smiled, then reached into his robes, took out the Faqiu Seal, and handed it to Shirley Yang through Hu Bayi.
After receiving the seal of the tomb raiders, Hu Bayi looked at Bai Jing with some surprise.
He understood that Bai Jing was about to be completely honest with him.
Immediately, Hu Bayi returned the Tomb Raider Talisman to Shirley Yang and handed her the Tomb Raider Seal, saying, "This was passed down from Old Bai."
Shirley Yang was initially puzzled, but after receiving her Tomb Raider Talisman and Tomb Raider Seal, she was astonished.
Shirley Yang sat up and looked at Bai Jing, asking in surprise, "Are you the Celestial Official of the Tomb Raiders?"
Bai Jing nodded. The Faqiu Seal was a small bronze seal knob. If you wanted, you could tie it with a rope and hang it around your neck.
But think about it, out of hundreds of millions of people in China, how many are actually engaged in tomb raiding?
There are always tens of thousands of people.
So out of these tens of thousands of people, there's only one Heavenly Official who can uncover the secrets of the tomb.
