Thus, Fang Yun and the others decided to stay in Hubu Town, which was the closest to the desert, for the night. They would set off to search for Black Water City at dawn the next day.
Blackwater City was quite famous. He could easily find out the location of the ruins.
Many people even said that hunters who entered Black Water City to hunt often found treasures when they dug traps.
Because of this, even though the desert was filled with danger, there were still a large number of people coming to search for treasures every day. There were even many foreigners who came to the desert to search for treasures.
As time passed, the desert became a land of gold in the eyes of many people.
However, the ruins that had survived the passage of time were not the target of Fang Yun and the others.
The Black Water City was only a border fortress of the Western Xia Empire, so it did not have much value.
What they were looking for was a treasure cave called the Great Buddhist Temple, not the empty ruins of the Black Water Ancient City.
.........
The next morning, when the cold and humidity were the heaviest, the four of them began their journey.
Because Chen Yulou had given them a lot of money, the four of them did not choose to run with their legs.
It was still fifty to sixty miles to the desert. He would need to walk for half a day and buy four horses. He could reach there in less than half an hour.
When they left the town, there were still many people surrounding the town entrance.
There were locals and foreigners.
However, these people all had one thing in common, and that was that they all carried weapons and their bodies were filled with the smell of dirt.
It was obvious that these were people who made a living underground in the desert.
After leaving the town, Fang Yun and the other three rode their horses in the direction of the south by east of the town.
The further away they were from the town, the harder it was to walk. Even the horses slowed down.
The journey that was supposed to be completed in half an hour took an hour. When the four of them arrived at the edge of the desert, the sun had already risen.
Now, when he looked up, his eyes were filled with yellow sand hills and barren land.
Stopping at the edge of the desert, Fang Yun said to Francolin Whistle,"
"Dao brother, observing the direction of the mountain and river veins requires you to be on high ground. The next path can only be walked.”
"Good!"
"Go, go home."
Francolin Whistle nodded and waved his four horses away. He looked at the endless desert in front of him and smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Western Xia Black Water City…"
"When I was on the way out of the mountain with the previous sect leader, I heard a senior mention the Xixia royal family. He said that the Xixia royal family seemed to have obtained a divine pearl.”
"In unofficial history, there are rumors that when the last king of Xixia, Li Dewang, fell, he hid the treasures of the country in an empty tomb under a Buddhist temple.”
"At that time, I and the previous generation's Sect Leader Senior Brother had a clue about the Muchen Pearl, so we didn't take this rumor to heart.”
"I didn't expect that ten years had passed…In the end, it was confirmed that the Treasure Temple really existed, and they still walked here.”
Fang Yun nodded in understanding.
If he didn't have the Eye of God, he would have looked at him like Francolin Whistle.
Compared to the rumors, the clues he found were more reliable.
.........
The group of four soon stepped into the desert.
Fang Yun also took out his golden compass and matched it with the position of the sun to find the direction.
If he wanted to find the Black Water City and the Great Buddhist Temple, the first thing he had to do was to find the riverbed of the Black Water River.
Black Water City was originally called Black City, but because it was located not far from the north bank of the lower reaches of the Black Water River, it was slowly called Black Water City.
Even a thousand years ago, this place was still a place with scarce water. All the living beings here depended on the Black Water River to support themselves.
Therefore, neither Black Water City nor Great Buddhist Temple was too far from the Black Water River.
Otherwise, he would not have to do anything but rush to fetch water.
Although the Black Water River had dried up a long time ago, the river was huge. The four of them had only entered the desert for less than an hour before they found the dried up Black Water River bed.
As they traveled down the Black Water River, they finally found traces of the city when it was close to noon.
In front of him, a city wall that protruded three to four meters out of the yellow sand appeared. One corner of the city wall was thickened, and the top was conical.
Looking at the unique construction method of this corner, Fang Yun's lips curled up. He turned around and said to the three of them,
"This is the ruins of the Black Water City of Xixia.”
"However, our goal is not here, but the Great Buddhist Temple where the treasure is hidden.”
Hearing this, Zhe Gushao and the other two brothers nodded in agreement.
"If the Muchen Pearl was hidden in Black Water City, it would have long been obtained by the Yuan Dwellers who destroyed the country.”
"The ruins of Black Water City are so eye-catching. No wonder it attracted a large number of treasure hunters.”
"Several hundred years have passed. Those ordinary objects that were once worthless in the eyes of the Yuan people have now become treasures.”
Fang Yun shrugged with a smile and continued to head north along the riverbed of the Black River.
"Let's go. It'll be even harder to find him when it gets dark.”
"Compared to this Black Water City that was swept clean by the Yuan people, I'm more looking forward to the Great Buddhist Temple.”
"The collection of the Xixia royal family…"
............
The four of them continued on their way. Fang Yun continued to locate the location as he walked.
After crossing countless sand dunes and rocky mountains, Fang Yun's eyes lit up. He brought the three senior brothers and stopped on a rocky mountain.
"Found it!"
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Zhe Gushao's expression changed. He followed Fang Yun's gaze and looked forward.
But... In front of him was a desert with dozens of hard mounds that were more than ten meters tall. They were no different from the ones he had seen on the road earlier.
Fang Yun waved his hand when he saw the puzzled expressions on the faces of Zhe Gushao and the others.
"Follow me first. I'll tell you when we arrive.”
After saying that, Fang Yun directly went down the rock mountain and walked forward quickly. The three people behind him also quickened their pace and followed him.
