However, at this time, everyone no longer had the intention to appreciate the scenery here, nor did they bother to explore whether the water in the pool was clean. They all rushed to the small pool like hungry wolves, fell down and drank.
People like Han Ling'er and Tong Xiangyu were a little more reserved. They just took a few sips of water from the water bag and couldn't help but raise the water bag to their mouths and started drinking.
After a while, everyone raised their heads with satisfaction and looked at the sand camel beasts beside them who were still bowing their heads and drinking. Then they came back to their senses - everyone had been drinking with these sand camel beasts just now -
-However, after being thirsty for so long, even if some people feel sick, no one is willing to spit out the water they drank.
"I said fortune teller, is this the last oasis you mentioned?" Qu Wuming looked around and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's right here! It's right here!" Wei Yixian stood up and walked around the pool a few times, as if he was silently calculating something in his heart, with an unconcealable expression of excitement on his face.
"Then what should we do next?" Hu Baye asked, stretching out his legs and lying on the edge of the pool.
"The next step is to find the entrance." Before he finished speaking, Wei Yixian had already chosen a place and stood suddenly. He looked up at the position of the sun in the sky, then turned around and walked back seven or eight steps to arrive.
Next to an inconspicuous-looking earth-yellow rock, I raised my hand to brush off the yellow sand covering the rock, and at a glance I saw what I was looking for.
"Mo Tong, come here!" Wei Yixian waved, and his disciple Mo Tong hurriedly climbed up from the edge of the pool and limped over.
Wei Yixian put his arm around Mo Tong's shoulder and whispered a few instructions into Mo Tong's ear. Mo Tong nodded obediently, took out a dagger from his waist, held the blade in his hand, then gritted his teeth and jerked,
The palm of his hand was cut immediately, and blood flowed down instantly.
"This is it!" Wei Yixian stood nearby and pointed at a slender crescent-shaped gap about the size of a palm between the two rocks.
Mo Tong raised his hand to the top of the gap and poured the blood from his hand into it without even frowning.
After a while, the crescent-shaped gap was almost filled with blood, like a small bloody crescent moon.
"Continue, don't stop!" Wei Yixian stared at the gap and said slightly nervously.
Mo Tong did not dare to disobey and continued to pour blood into it.
However, what is strange is that no matter how Mo Tong's blood flows, the blood in the gap never overflows - it seems that the excess blood seeps into the bottom of the gap and is swallowed up by something.
generally.
Gradually, the blood in Mo Tong's palm began to flow slowly. Wei Yixian frowned slightly and urged from the side: "Open your hands! Don't stop bleeding!"
Mo Tong obediently opened his palms, holding back the pain and instantly opening the wounds that had begun to clot, and blood suddenly flowed from his palms again...
"Okay, okay, that's it!" Wei Yixian's eyes were a little hot.
After about ten more breaths, Mo Tong began to feel a little exhausted. His eyesight turned black and he was light-headed. He swayed and almost fell down. He stretched out his palm and sprinkled blood on the surrounding rocks.
scarlet.
Wei Yixian hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Mo Tong's body, stretched out a hand and firmly grasped Mo Tong's bleeding hand.

, continued to hold it above the stone crevice, and said through gritted teeth: "Continue, don't stop!"
"Yes, Master..." Mo Tong responded feebly, feeling himself getting more and more dizzy, and the world in his eyes began to become darker.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Tong's vision finally turned black and he passed out completely.
boom……
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a muffled sound coming from deep in the ground beneath their feet, and their whole bodies shook with the muffled sound.
Rumble…
Immediately afterwards, the vibrations in the ground gradually became more frequent, and a clearer sound came from under the rocks in front of Wei Yixian...
boom……
A burst of sand and dust surged out from those rocks, as if something suddenly collapsed. Wei Yixian was so frightened that he hurriedly dragged Mo Tong, who was still unconscious, back.
The sand and dust gradually dispersed while rolling, and a dark hole suddenly appeared behind the rocks. A moist and cold breath suddenly poured out from the hole, blowing onto several people nearby, making
People couldn't help but shudder a few times.
"It's open, it's really open!! Hahaha..." Wei Yixian was overjoyed when he saw this. He let go, threw Mo Tong aside, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
When Tong Xiangyu, who was not far away, saw this, she couldn't help but frown. She hurried over in two steps, pulled off a piece of cloth, and bandaged Mo Tong's palm for him who was unconscious. Then he dragged Mo Tong to the pool.
Then he stood up and looked towards the entrance of the cave...
Wei Yixian stood next to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, but saw that it was completely dark inside, and he didn't know where it led. Now that he couldn't use his magic power, even Qu Wuming, Ding Xian and others who were approaching from the side couldn't see too far.
Everyone looked carefully for a while and saw nothing unusual in the cave, so they all looked at Wei Yixian.
Qu Wuming was the first to ask: "The task given to us by the Black Jade Token before was to listen to your directions and find the secrets in the desert. Since entering the lawless land, the Black Jade Token has also lost its function. Now we have opened this
Crypt, do you go down by yourself later, or what?"
Wei Yixian seemed to be in a good mood. Hearing the words, he smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said: "This cave is just the road leading to the secret. If we want to complete the task, we naturally have to go down together and find the real secret. Besides...
"As he said that, Wei Yixian looked at Master Hu Ba, the three brothers of the Chen family and other tomb robbers, "Besides, now that the crypt is open, I don't know much about what the secrets inside look like and what treasures there are. Now that's it.
This is the final step, we can't arrive at Baoshan and come back empty-handed, right?"
Hu Baye and Chen Yulou glanced at each other, swallowed and said: "That's natural. We have said before that if we gather together, I am afraid that there are no tombs in the Eastern Continent, and the secret realm is for us to enter."
I won’t go. Now that I know the location, I can try it out and the hard work along the way will not be in vain!”
"In that case," Wei Yixian's state at this time was slightly different from that along the way. He turned around and said with a smile, "Then there will be shopkeeper Lao Tong. The two chefs will prepare a delicious meal for everyone first. After everyone has a full meal,
Let’s go down and explore what’s in this secret place!”
…
After they had had enough wine and food, Tong Xiangyu was left behind. The two chefs and Mo Tong, who was still very weak, set up camp on top. The rest of the people lit torches and took out night-light pearls and other lighting objects.

, carefully stepped into the crypt.
At first, the entrance to the cave was only half a person tall and three feet wide. It was like a crack cut out of the rock. It was very cramped and difficult to walk through. Sometimes you even had to crawl to get through.
As we walked, the cave became slightly wider. However, the passage was still very winding, and it would suddenly turn after a short walk.
In this way, everyone walked in the winding passage for about two sticks of incense before they could finally straighten up and walk.
Everyone judged by feeling that this passage seemed to be gradually going downwards at a gentle angle. The air in the cave was very humid, and it didn't even look like it was under the desert.
As the cave became wider, the faint sound of running water could be heard.
When everyone finally walked out of the passage, they found that there was an underground cave several feet high in front of them. On the other side of the cave, there was an underground river that was more than three feet wide and more than two feet long, slowly flowing through it.
, the faint sound of water that I heard at first came from this underground river.
"There is no road ahead!" Hu Baye held up a luminous pearl, raised his hand to hold the light, and looked around, "Is this the secret place that Black Jade ordered to find?"
"Let's all look around to see if there are any mechanisms, signs or anything like that!" Chen Yulou said, and he led his two brothers to one side and walked cautiously.
After hearing the words, everyone held torches, night pearls and other lighting objects dispersed, and soon they explored the cave. Except for the entrance where everyone came in before, this cave has no other exits, and there is nothing.
The obvious anomaly - apart from the underground river, there were only jagged stone walls, which didn't look like there could be any secret place at all.
Chen Yulou frowned and looked up at his head and said: "Based on my experience, there are probably no tombs here."
Hou Jinhai groped the stone wall and said, "Well, who would go to the trouble to build a tomb here? There is no trace of man-made work here. In my opinion, it is just a naturally formed cave."
Hu Baye held a shining silver iron pick in his hand and kept tapping on the stone wall. Hearing this, he said: "I agree with Master Hou. These rocks are natural things, but they seem to be
It is extremely dense, like... like tempered metal ore. Could it be that the master of the Black Jade Order wants us to transport some of this stone back? Mr. Qu, tell me, is this stone useful to you cultivators?
Object?"
"It doesn't look like it to me." Qu Wuming bent down to pick up a piece of gravel, looked at it carefully by the firelight, shook his head and said, "Although I don't have the magic power, I still don't think this stone is any different from the ordinary stones outside.
What a difference.”
"How could this be so? It shouldn't be..." Wei Yixian frowned and walked around the cave several times, calculating silently in his mind, but always felt that there should be no problem with his calculations.
Hu Baye walked to the side of the underground river and said with a hint of questioning: "Is it possible that if you want to find the real secret, you have to pass through this river?" As he said that, he bent down and stretched his hand into the river.
, and then stood up with a sudden jolt, "This water is so damn cold!"
After hearing this, Hou Jinbo came over, squatted by the river and stretched out his hand into the water: "It's true, it's so damn cold! It's amazing that it's not freezing even though it's so cold." After saying that, he looked back at Hou Jinhai and said,
