Chapter 1175 The blood moon is in the sky

"New Year's Day after tomorrow." Zhang Meng blurted out. For people with high memory, it is very easy to remember a day.

"I'm talking about the lunar calendar, the lunar calendar!" Yan Wangdong repeated the last two words again.

"Lunar calendar, lunar calendar..." Zhang Meng paused, quickly took out his watch, switched to the lunar calendar and calculated it, "It seems to be the thirteenth lunar calendar."

"That's right, it's the thirteenth lunar calendar."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Zhang Meng asked.

"As the saying goes, the moon on the fifteenth is full and round. In two days, the moon above our heads will become the fullest full moon." King Hell said in a puzzle.

Zhang Meng seemed to understand what Yan Wangdong meant. Although Zhang Meng had seen many strange things, most of them could still be explained by science, so Zhang Meng didn't believe in any folk legends at all.

Seeing that Zhang Meng was a little dissatisfied, King Yan slapped his thigh: "Damn it, confused!"

The fat man beside him said with a smile: "I said, senior, it's not just right to have a full moon, I can see it more clearly when I rush to the night."

"You little fat man has been with my apprentice for several years, and you don't even understand this common sense?" Seeing that Zhang Meng and the fat man were indifferent to his words, King Yan immediately cursed angrily.

Zhao San in the distance took a sip of mineral water and said, "Senior, are you worried that something will happen to this desert on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?"

"Tsk, we have so many people that we have great strength, and the wolves have scared away. There is no danger at all these days. What are you afraid of?" said the fat man.

"Hmph!" King Dong of Hell was too lazy to talk nonsense to the fat man anymore, and shook his sleeves angrily, and walked backwards.

Lady Na, who was coming from the expert group, stopped Yan Wangdong and asked, "Old senior, do you mean that there will be danger the day after tomorrow, and it will be a big danger?" You should know that Lady Na should be the most scientific in the team. No one expected that she would stop Yan Wangdong and ask for advice.

"In your scientific words, seeing such a hairy moon in the desert, even if there is no big trouble, it indicates that a big storm will come." said King Dong of Hell.

"That's right, according to the most authoritative statement in the world, if there is a halo in the sun, it means there will be heavy rain. If there is a halo in the moon, it means there will be strong wind. You Chinese like to call halos hair." said a curly bearded foreigner in Bogut Company.

"Who is he?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Mr Peter," said Ladyna: "The most famous meteorologist in Europe."

After hearing Lady Na's words, Zhang Meng nodded to the bearded man and expressed his gratitude. The bearded man also smiled at Zhang Meng and walked towards their team without any intention of continuing.

It seems that they don't care about the dangers that follow at all.

With the evidence of bearded foreigners, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. You should know that if a strong wind really blew in a world-class desert like Taklamakan, this well-equipped team could be buried in the vast sea of ​​sand within one minute.

However, time is tight now, and everyone is not allowed to waste, let alone run around.

Seeing that Ladyna had not made up her mind yet, before turning around, Yan Wangdong added: "The strong wind that will appear in the future is not terrible, because it is normal to experience several major storms in Taklamakan. What is really worrying is that, the hairy moon above our heads will turn into a blood-red full moon, commonly known as the blood moon!"

Everyone who was worried was surprised to hear the word "Heaven King Dong throwing the word "Blood Moon" and unexpectedly all breathed a sigh of relief. Because the Blood Moon in the Chinese people means a bad omen and an unprecedented danger, on this day the caravans will stop setting off, and people traveling far away will stop rushing, but this is superstition in the end. Moreover, the Blood Moon has given a full explanation in modern science, that is, the Blood Moon is actually the moon, the earth, and the sun, which is just a total eclipse of the moon.

However, the next storm makes everyone beware of something.

For this reason, Lady Na specially found Professor Lou, Dr. Wang and guide Hati.

I just talked about the concerns of the foreign bearded man and Yan Wangdong, and then listened to the opinions of several experts.

Now, the entire team is actually composed of three forces. Among them, the leading ones are of course the tomb robbers such as Zhang Meng and the expert group sent from above, and Bogut Company, like someone who is out of the matter, never cares about everyone or pays attention to everyone, being honest and surprising. But before entering the destination, the role of the guide is unquestionable, so everyone should listen to the opinions of the guide.

When ladyna said that, she didn't mention the matter of Blood Moon at all. Hati didn't know that, in an attitude of not offending anyone, she agreed with everyone's reasons, but she didn't have her own position.

Professor Lou and Dr. Wang were very anxious. On the one hand, the temptation of Lop Nur was too great, and they were unwilling to go back halfway; on the other hand, their superiors had given a deadline to ask them to find what they were looking for as soon as possible at all costs.

In order to avoid everyone's upset, Dr. Wang also specifically explained that if you pass through the Yadan landform, you may find the ruins of the Loulan Ancient City at any time. Even if you don't find the Loulan Ancient City, you can find other ancient city ruins. When the storm comes, you can tie your tents in the ruins of the ancient city to survive. After all, there are still two days left before the fifteenth lunar calendar, which is enough for everyone to rush forward. Moreover, we have just left the Peacock River and haven't walked far. The food and water on the camel's back were not consumed at all, and it's enough for everyone to continue to eat.

If you just go back like this, it will probably hurt everyone's morale a lot.

After listening to Professor Lou and Dr. Wang's analysis, Zhang Meng also felt it was reasonable. Although he knew that Yan Wangdong's words would not be exaggerated, just as Yan Wangdong himself said, the dangers that should come will always come. Instead of hiding, it is better to really fight with each other so that everyone can weigh their own weight.

Finally, Zhang Meng signaled Lady Na whether she needed to go over and ask Bogut Company?

Ladyna said no. Then before the sun heats up, everyone hurry up and wait until they can't walk before they can't walk before they rest.

Everyone did not object, and more than twenty people in a group embarked on the journey again.

They planned to find a ruin of an ancient city before twelve o'clock noon, and then camp on the spot, sleep, eat, and continue to set off in the evening.
