Chapter 346: Jingjue Ancient Kingdom
Niya.
The county seat is located in the southern part of Hetian area.
The further south you go, the more impurities there are in the air... The flying sand and rocks in front of you make your throat choke when you breathe, and in the distance are piles of yellow sand hills visible to the naked eye.
Just got off the plane.
With the help of the military, Qin An and others obtained a large amount of dry food and several large-displacement off-road vehicles. These off-road vehicles had a high chassis, so crossing the Gobi Desert was not a problem.
Originally, the Uighur military wanted to provide soldier protection.
But Qin An refused.
They brought a lot of people with them on this archaeological trip!
The tomb raiders are Qin An, Gu Wuyan, Jiang Liuli, Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele.
The Taoist priests who moved mountains included Hu Jizhou, Li Mengzhe and Meng Yu.
The archaeologists include Liu Guoqing and Xu Xiuying.
The special forces include 15 battle-hardened soldiers including Gu Yang and Hawkeye.
A total of 25 people!
They are not strong men.
Tomb robbing requires skill rather than quantity.
Of course, except Yang Lele.
"Brother Qin An... a few days ago you called me and told me the Zhuchen Pearl was in the west! Can you confirm this? Of course, it's not that I don't believe you... I'm just too excited."
Inside the off-road vehicle.
Hu Jizhou said sincerely.
Qin An was looking down at the documents in his hand.
Without even looking up, he said, "I'm not entirely sure... but I'm 90% certain the Zhuchen Pearl is to the west! But for more accurate information, I need to observe the feng shui of the desert."
Hear this.
Hu Jizhou's face lit up with joy!
Steady!
Gu Yang and archaeologist Liu Guoqing were both confused after hearing the conversation. What was going on with the Zhuchen Pearl? Weren't they here to find the bronze-masked man with the ox face to reclaim the inner elixir?
But none of them asked the questions that confused them.
Five seven-seater off-road vehicles slowly drove into Niya County. It was too late today, and the archaeological team had been sitting on a transport plane for most of the day and was in no mood to set out to look for the ancient tomb today.
............
Stayed in a hotel in the county town for one night.
The next morning.
The archaeological team had breakfast at a breakfast shop downstairs.
Qin An took a sip of porridge and said, "Old Hu! You, the Taoist monks of Banshan, have been in the martial arts world for so many years and are experts at gathering information! After breakfast, go and ask if there is a living map of the desert in Niya County."
Qin An gave the task of finding a desert guide to Hu Jizhou.
"it is good!"
Hu Jizhou didn't hesitate at all!
I immediately took on this job.
"Guyang Eagle Eye, go and purchase the items we'll need to enter the desert. It's best if they can be put to use."
"understand!"
After assigning the task.
Qin An took Jiang Liuli and left!
As for the rest of the people, Qin An asked them to go back to the hotel and listen to a class taught by two archaeologists, talking about miscellaneous things and precautions in the Western Regions. It is a good habit to cram at the last minute.
Qin An drove an off-road vehicle and took Jiang Liuli all the way to a place 100 kilometers north of Niya County.
There is no one living here.
All that comes into view is yellow sand and more yellow sand...
Qin An's heart skipped a beat!
Oh my god... Could it be that Daxia in this parallel world hasn't implemented the Western Tree Planting Program yet? Where could that pitch-black poisonous Gu King Scorpion hide?
"Qin An! What are we doing here?" Jiang Liuli didn't understand why Qin An brought only her to the heart of the desert.
"I'll take you to meet an old friend!"
Qin An took out the dragon scepter from behind him like a magic trick.
The thing that Jiang Liuli recognized at first sight!
buzzing-
The gem on the dragon scepter emits a faint light.
however.
There was no movement around for a long time!
Strange? Could it be that silly scorpion got lost?
See Qin An's actions.
Jiang Liuli had a bold guess in her mind: the only creature left in King Qi’s tomb was the King of Gu Poisonous Scorpion... Could it be that Brother Qin An was going to summon the King of Gu Poisonous Scorpion?
quickly!
The facts prove that Jiang Liuli's guess is completely correct!
I saw the tip of a sand pile not far in front of the two of them shaking... The yellow sand collapsed downwards, and after a moment a black object rose from it.
It turned out to be the poisonous scorpion king!
Jiang Liuli suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy!
Her feet unconsciously moved behind Qin An...but when she saw the dragon scepter in Qin An's hand, she felt relieved.
Hiss--
The King of Gu Scorpions hissed excitedly upon seeing Qin An, as if to say, "Master! You're finally here! I thought you wouldn't come... You're treating me like a Japanese!"
Then the poisonous scorpion flew towards Qin An at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour.
He didn't brake suddenly until he crawled in front of Qin An!
Then he lay down and kissed the back of Qin An's shoes.
It’s confirmed... this poisonous scorpion king is from India, and it’s a foot-kissing ritual performed by the lower caste to the higher caste.
After the foot kissing ceremony.
The poisonous scorpion king poked his head out and looked behind Qin An——
It was inexplicably excited after seeing Jiang Liuli!
This guy mistook Jiang Liuli for Qin An's wife when he was at King Qi's tomb... He thought she was his mistress, and Qin An even slapped him in the face for this.
Now after seeing Jiang Liuli.
The Poison Scorpion King has obviously become tougher!
"See! I knew she was my mistress! And you slapped me! Apologize!"
however.
Qin Anke didn't have time to pay attention to its wild thoughts.
"Get on the scorpion!" Qin An stepped on the head of the poisonous scorpion king first, and then stretched out his hand to Jiang Liuli to signal her to sit on the back of the poisonous scorpion.
Wait until both of them are seated.
Qin An put away the Dragon Scepter and said, "150 kilometers north of Niya County is the legendary Jingjue Ancient City... We only need to go another 50 kilometers north to reach it."
"Jingjue Ancient City?"
Jiang Liuli was a little confused.
This was indeed a country in the Western Regions that existed during the Han Dynasty of Daxia...but at its peak, this country had a population of only over 3000 and 500 active soldiers. Could such a country possibly have built a large tomb?
"I need to go over and look at the feng shui of the Western Regions."
Qin An casually explained and then patted the back of the head of the Poison King Scorpion, signaling it to go north.
Hiss--
The poisonous scorpion king rushed out!
along the way.
Wherever he went, the small animals gave way!
They dare not offend this behemoth as big as a small truck!
..........
After half an hour.
The Poison King Scorpion appeared at the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue with two people in his arms.
Qin An and Jiang Liuli turned over and jumped off the scorpion's back.
In the sand dunes.
What comes into view are dilapidated houses, most of which are made of wood and sand. If a bird were looking down from the sky, it would find... this place is pitifully small!
It is said to be the ancient country of Jingjue.
It would be more accurate to say that it is a village in Daxia.

PS: Can I have some gifts? Balls!
Lao Yu can't do anything (sigh)
