Chapter 100 Chapter 12: Moving Mountains

I stared at the bowl hesitantly, suspecting that my eyes were lost, but after looking at it for a long time, there was no change in the bowl.I put down the bowl, opened other tea bags, smelled and looked at them, and finally had to accept the fact that all the wild hemp tea had turned into clean water.Zhao Shuai and his little cousin put down their raised hands, and glanced at the wild hemp tea in the bowl, it was called tea, it was clearly tap water. Uncle An went crazy, opened all the tea, but only saw clear water.Even Uncle Chen, who was vigilant against sand wolves, was curious. He helped to check the wild hemp tea, but none of the wild hemp tea he brought was spared and turned into clean water.We only left for a few minutes just now, who has such a great ability to replace all the wild hemp tea so quickly.It's like a dream, we all think it's fake, pinching the flesh on the face, it really hurts.

The cold wind blows at night, hula hula, and the bonfire boos along with it, laughing at our ignorance.I looked up at the bright moon that was about to be full, and thought to myself that the moon god Jiafu would not really come down, there is enough trouble now, let him not add more trouble.Uncle An guaranteed with his head that there is absolutely no problem with the wild hemp tea. He has been drinking it for many years and has never had such a situation.In the past, some people wanted to enter the desert and brought wild hemp tea with them. Even if the taste rotted, it would not turn into clean water.

In the evening, Mu Qingxiang said that the wild hemp tea had become weaker, but no one cared about it, and the tea had changed unknowingly.Everyone thought about it for a long time, their heads were blown, and they couldn't figure out the reason for the change in Ye Ma Cha.Mu Qingxiang didn't understand either, she only said that it might have something to do with the ancient city of Yuequan, and it wouldn't turn into Qingshui for no reason.The world is so big, there are no surprises, first there are gods flying down, and then there is wild hemp tea turned into clear water, which made us nervous, for fear that if we didn't pay attention, our heads would move by ourselves.

Mu Qingxiang was very appreciative, and she said: "Since it has turned into clear water and cannot be turned back, then forget it. Fortunately, clear water can also be drunk, and wild hemp tea can be boiled again. But I think it is better not to boil it, maybe When cooked, the result is the same." Holding the shotgun, Uncle Chen wondered, "Old Hu, did you drink too much the night before and put the tea and water in the wrong place?" Uncle An was very sure: "If I make a mistake, I'll cut off the head and cook it for you to drink. Damn, cook it again tonight. If the water turns clear tomorrow, I'll admit it. By the way, I'll prove my innocence."

The deal was done, and it was useless to worry about it. After we were full, we slept around the fire again.The firewood I brought was limited, and after the hot soup was cooked, no more firewood was added, leaving only dark red charcoal to maintain the poor temperature.I took a nap just now, and now I am full of energy, and I have no suspense to serve as the night watchman. I looked at Uncle Chen who was squinting. He was holding a shotgun as if he was holding his wife.I wanted to laugh when I saw it, maybe the laughter was too loud and woke up Mu Qingxiang.Mu Qingxiang stood up and sat upright, I put away my smiling face and asked her why she sat up.Mu Qingxiang didn't speak, and after sitting up, she looked at the darkness in the distance, as if ghosts and gods rushed out in the next second.I asked a few more times in doubt, and then Mu Qingxiang said: "Didn't you see that there is a mountain in front of us?"

"What's so amazing about a sand mountain, you can continue to sleep." I comforted. "Let's go over and have a look." Mu Qingxiang went ahead and stood up immediately. "Let's go away, what if the wolf comes?" To be honest, I also really want to go and have a look, because there seem to be several historic sites next to the sand mountain exposed to the sand.I woke up the sleepy Zhao Shuai, he agreed vaguely, and then sat up with one eye closed.I carried a shotgun, Mu Qingxiang held a flashlight, and the two quietly left the camp. Occasionally, there are black clouds drifting over the desert, and most of the time it is full of moonlight, and the silver-yellow sand surface makes people mistakenly believe that they are in an alien planet.When we slept in the camp, it was dark when we looked around because of the firelight. After we got out, we realized that we could do it without a flashlight.On the other side of the sand mountain, a section of the broken city wall was exposed. Through the city wall, several large fortresses of rammed earth could be seen. Even a fool could see that this was the remains of a small ancient city.

The sand hills move too fast, and the small ancient city may have been exposed to the sand several times, but it was quickly buried in the yellow sand.When we walked in, many houses were half buried by the yellow sand, but the solid city wall stood out, exposed to the wind and sun, and had already turned as yellow as the desert.Most of the small ancient towns are residential houses, and there is a big house with more than half exposed in the middle, which is similar to the current downtown buildings.This ancient city is too small, and there is no towering Zhenxian Pagoda, so it can never be the ancient city of Yuequan, but it is probably related to the ancient city of Yuequan.Mu Qingxiang walked slowly, and soon came to the big house, I breathed out into my hands, and hurriedly walked into the big house with her.

There is nothing in the house, or it is all buried under the yellow sand, and it seems that there is nothing to be particular about.But Mu Qingxiang refused to leave, I thought to myself that this place is empty, there is nothing to see.I was afraid that the sand hill would continue to move, and the small ancient city would be buried again, so I urged Mu Qingxiang not to dawdle, and don't lose her life for the small ancient city. Mu Qingxiang said calmly: "The structure of this room is very strange." The temperature was too low, I tremblingly glanced at the room, but I didn't see anything strange there.If you want to say something strange, you can only say that the room is too empty, so at least you should keep a few decent antiques.I was just about to open my mouth to tell Mu Qingxiang not to play tricks, and to leave early, no matter how strange the house is, it has nothing to do with us.But as soon as I opened my mouth, my vision became blurred, my head became dizzy, and my feet were almost unsteady.I was fine just now, but suddenly I became dizzy, maybe I was anemic.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qingxiang asked me. I rubbed my forehead and replied, "It's strange. I just felt very uncomfortable. I've never experienced this before. Could someone have poisoned our food?" "If it was poisonous, you would have died a long time ago." Mu Qingxiang denied it, she also ate it, but it was all right, probably it has nothing to do with the food. I recovered quickly, so I asked, "You just said that the house is strange, why is it so strange?" Mu Qingxiang walked around the house, stepped on the yellow sand lightly, walked back and forth in a circle, and then said that there were no edges and corners in the house.I took a step forward, and then turned around on the spot. There were indeed no edges and corners in the room, like an ellipse, but not quite.Mu Qingxiang said that this room is more like a cup, or a tea cup.The roof was broken and leaky, and the original appearance could not be seen. Maybe it was a teacup lid.

Mu Qingxiang said that her house might be very important, probably related to the ancient city of Yuequan, maybe the ancient city of Yuequan is within a hundred meters.We didn't bring a shovel when we came out. Mu Qingxiang wanted to dig out the yellow sand in the house. There might be important clues down there.The next wave of yellow sand will move over soon, we can only dig overnight at this time, otherwise we don't know how many years we will have to wait. I asked Mu Qingxiang to wait in the house for a while, and then I went back to get the shovel and checked to see if Zhao Shuai fell asleep and forgot to guard the camp.When I went back, I felt dizzy again, my chest was stuffy, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.Zhao Shuai wasn't awake yet, but he was sitting with his eyes half-opened. If a wolf came, he would definitely wake up immediately.I asked him if he felt uncomfortable. He thought I was too noisy and told me to take the shovel and leave immediately without asking what I found there.

Turning out the shovel, I ran back anxiously, for fear that Mu Qingxiang would disappear again.When we went back, Mu Qingxiang was still there, but after walking a few steps, it seemed that he had found the location of the thing buried in the yellow sand.In a moment of impatience, I only took a shovel and forgot to take another for Mu Qingxiang.Anyway, she is a woman, so I had to talk about demeanor, breathed on my hands, and then slammed into the yellow sand. After digging a few times, I felt uncomfortable again, and there seemed to be something wrong with my whole body.This feels more and more frequent, but never before, only today.I asked Mu Qingxiang if it was because of acclimatization, she said it was unlikely, and then asked me how I felt.After listening to my wordy description, Mu Qingxiang thought about it, and said with certainty that the ancient city of Yuequan is definitely nearby.That time, Mu Qingxiang woke up in the ancient city. Although it didn't take long, she also felt very uncomfortable at that time, dizzy, and chest pain.She always thought it was due to lethargy, but now that this happens to me frequently, it is probably related to something strange in the ancient city of Yuequan. "It's been two thousand years, what else in the ancient city can have such a long and wide influence?" I asked while digging. "I didn't go all over the ancient city at that time, so this is just a guess. Just now, did you see that Zhao Shuai had the same reaction?" Mu Qingxiang asked standing beside her. I raised my head and thought for a while: "He's groggy, he doesn't feel uncomfortable, he just doesn't wake up. If there is something in the ancient city that can affect people's health, everyone should react, and there will be no difference. situation." "It's not necessarily true. Everyone's physical fitness is different. Otherwise, why would some people live to be a hundred years old, while others would die young." Mu Qingxiang said calmly. I didn't take it seriously, Mu Qingxiang just stood there and nothing happened.I just took it as a false assumption, then lowered my head and continued digging, and finally dug a small hole.Every time I dig a shovel, there is always yellow sand sliding down again, so the process is very slow.As I was digging, there was a piercing sound from the shovel, and my hands were slightly numb from the shock.Sure enough, there was something under the yellow sand, and I speeded up excitedly, and the strange discomfort subsided temporarily. What I dug up was a stone statue, probably buried in the yellow sand, and its appearance was already the same color as the yellow sand.The stone statue is a man, but the clothes are not like those of ethnic minorities, but rather like the ancient costumes of the Central Plains.At that time, the remnants of the Guishuang Empire fled into the vast desert, and with the help of a Han Chinese, the ancient city of Yuequan was established.I thought to myself, this person was probably a Han Chinese at that time, and now I can finally see what he looks like.I managed to clean up the stone statue, it was stuck in the sand obliquely, staring straight at us, as if to say: Hey, boy, be careful when you dig, it hurts me. After I almost dug out the stone statue, Mu Qingxiang took a closer look and said, "Why is he here?" "He? Who? Don't say you know this stone statue." I asked with a frown. "He is the first tea master in the world, don't you know him?" Mu Qingxiang asked back. "Lu Yu? Does he look like this?" I asked curiously. "It's not Lu Yu, this person is the tea ancestor." Mu Qingxiang replied unhurriedly.
