Under the lead of a hunter guide, the group began their journey before the morning's coolness dissipated.
Two hours later, the mountain road became more and more rugged and steep. The guide also suggested taking the water route. Although they needed to take a detour, it was much faster than climbing the mountain.
Everyone had no objections. Under the guidance of the guide, they boarded a small fishing boat that had been converted into a passenger ship.
It was worth mentioning that other than Wei Chuan's group of five and the six local guides, the rest of the passengers on the ship were all Westerners. From their appearance and language, they looked like Russians, or the Russians in Wei Chuan's memory.
The group of Russians carried a big backpack on their backs. Each of them had a smell of dirt, and there were guns at their waists. They were gathered together and discussing something, looking excited.
"Masters, don't provoke these foreigners.”
Seeing Wei Chuan and the others glance at the old Russians at the stern, the hunter guide quickly lowered his voice and waved his hand.
"These foreigners have been in Gulan County for more than two years. I don't know where they heard the news of treasures in Black Water City. It was said that not only did they want treasures, they even wanted some strange corpses. I heard that they dug up several pagodas a while ago.”
After the guide finished speaking, he walked towards the boatman and asked about the route.
Upon hearing the guide's words, Zhe Gushao's eyes immediately focused, and his body emitted killing intent.
Seeing this, Wei Chuan shook his head and said,"
"Humans die for wealth and birds die for food. This has been the case since ancient times. Even though there are foreigners from the Central Plains who come to search for treasures, there are also Central Plainsmen who go to some of the overseas treasured lands that are famous for their wealth to search for treasures.”
"The reputation of the Black Water City of Western Xia is widespread. It is inevitable to meet people in the industry.”
"Don't worry. With those few guns of theirs, they won't be able to enter the Heavenly Great Buddhist Temple…As long as they don't get in our way, then let them be.”
Upon hearing this, Zhe Gushao's killing intent vanished and he heaved a sigh of relief.
Nothing happened along the way. The fishing boat sailed for about ten minutes before everyone disembarked under the guidance of the guide.
Right now, there was a boundless desert as far as the eye could see. Only a few hills stood alone.
"Almost there." The guide pointed to the northwest and shouted with a smile,""Masters, if you walk a few more miles, you'll be able to reach the place where I saw the ancient city.”
"Alright, just bring us to the ancient city ruins. You can go back when you get there."
Wei Chuan grinned, took out three coins from his pocket, and threw them at the guide.
The guide smiled when he caught the ocean.
Three dollars could buy a big meat bun worth 2,000 yuan!
........
The group continued to move forward.
Finally, after walking for another two hours, some ruins began to appear in front of him.
"Masters, we're here. I haven't been there before. Blackwater City had been gone for hundreds of years. No one knew if it was still there. Over the years, there were many people who wanted to find Black Water City, but after entering the desert, not many people returned. You should be careful."
The hunter guide pointed at the ruins in front of him and wiped his sweat as he spoke.
The people of Gulan County were very clear about the intentions of these outsiders who were looking for Black Water City. They were here to search for treasures. However, he had gotten used to it over the years.
"Go. Be careful on your way back.”
"Hey! Thank you, Master!"
After receiving the five coins from Wei Chuan, the guide thanked him and turned around.
"Brother Wei!" Zhe Gushao looked at Wei Chuan and cupped his fists.""Next, we'll have to rely on the gold-looting lieutenant's kung fu.”
Wei Chuan nodded and walked toward the nearest sand dune. Everyone hurriedly followed.
Standing at the top of the sand dune, Wei Chuan first looked up at the position of the sun and calculated the position of the stars at this time before his gaze fell on the desert.
"Northeast Left Assistant, Northwest Right Assistant. The black dragon lay in the northeast, its tail due south. Yang in the plains is not afraid of the wind, but Yin and Yang are different. They avoid the cold…"
Seeing Wei Chuan looking at the blue sky from time to time, and looking at the desert in front of him from time to time, the old foreigner asked Francolin Whistle with a puzzled look,""Senior Brother, is the gold-looting officer really that capable? He could find a tomb in this desert just by looking at the sky and the earth?”
Upon hearing this, the corners of Zhe Gushao's mouth curled up as he explained in a low voice,"
"The gold-touching sect is best at observing dragons. They divide gold to fix acupoints and have all-encompassing Feng Shui techniques. The tombs of ordinary people might not consider the problem of feng shui, but the ancient dignitaries believed in feng shui very much. Whether it was a big city or a small temple, they would be built according to the position of the feng shui star.”
"Right now, Brother Wei should be observing the earth vein stars and combining them together to pick out the area with the strongest dragon energy in this desert that is most suitable for building temples and cities.”
Just as the two of them were whispering, Wei Chuan reacted.
"I found it. The Star of Martial Music enters the Palace of Wealth. The Heavenly Great Buddhist Temple is in the northeast of the Black River!”
