"Loulan ancient city, that was an existence no less than Jingjue ancient city. According to my grandfather, it was a prosperous ancient city during the Han-Jin period."
"At that time, there were only five thousand people in the ancient city, so it was a small city."
"What's more, some even rumored that there were powerful demons, and a world-famous Loulan princess, who was the most capable woman in Loulan ancient city."
"She held the Loulan ancient spear, her aura no less than that of a man."
As Tulu spoke, Zhang Tian seemed to recall something.
If in his previous life, the alias of Jingjue ancient city should have been Loulan ancient city, but from what Tulu said, these two ancient cities were separate.
"Boss, I thought of Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan was heroic and valiant. Perhaps that Loulan princess was also like that."
Fatty said with some anticipation.
He really wanted to see a heroic and valiant Loulan princess, not for any other reason, but just to see a strong woman.
Zhang Tian gave Fatty a sideways glance.
"Didn't Tulu say that the princess would fight?"
"Boss, you don't understand. A woman with a spear is usually not someone to be trifled with."
Fatty looked as if he understood everything.
"Then, brother Tulu, is there any connection between Jingjue ancient city and Loulan ancient city?"
Hu Bayi asked from the side.
Tulu thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, according to legend, Loulan ancient city is outside, and Jingjue ancient city is in the middle of Magnetic Mountain. Relatively speaking, Jingjue ancient city seems to be more powerful than Loulan."
Tulu said, and Hu Bayi nodded. He thought for a moment and said.
"Boss, it seems that these two ancient cities, or rather, countries, might have existed in the same era."
"And the most outstanding individuals in both ancient cities were women. It seems there might have been some interaction between them."
Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Tian, his voice hoarse.
Zhang Tian nodded, his gaze returning to Tulu.
"By the way, do you know about that Loulan tribe and the demons? Are the demons from the Ghost Cave tribe? Is this ancient city also connected to Jingjue ancient city?"
Zhang Tian was most curious about the Ghost Cave tribe.
Jingjue ancient city was also created by the Ghost Cave tribe. Perhaps Loulan ancient city was too. This would mean that these two places might have been established by the same race.
One outside, one inside.
"I don't know about that demon. It's said to be a mysterious entity, just legends, not to be believed. If you want to enter the desert, you might have to go to the nearest town outside the desert."
"There's said to be a guide there, you can go and see."
Tulu said, and Zhang Tian nodded, then stood up.
"Alright, thank you."
Saying that, he shook hands with Tulu and looked at the others.
"Since we have a clue, shall we set off directly?"
With that, several people nodded one after another. Before the food was even served, Zhang Tian and the others hurried out.
Zhang Tian knew that outside the desert, there was a town, and in that town lived a famous guide named An Liman.
Although that guy had many shortcomings, he had plenty of camels.
"If you are going to that town, I have a route here."
Tulu saw everyone getting up, and quickly spoke, at the same time he handed out a map of the entire Xinjiang.
"Thank you, then brother Tulu, we're leaving. We've already paid for the meal."
Zhang Tian waved goodbye to him, and then everyone, carrying their luggage, walked outside.
"Miss Yang, are you troubled by something?"
Hu Bayi asked as he saw Shirley Yang looking preoccupied.
Shirley Yang shook her head, her mind lost in thought.
Everyone got back into the off-road vehicle.
Zhang Tian drove, following the map towards a city on the edge of the desert.
As for Shirley Yang's heavy heart, Zhang Tian knew the reason, it was probably about the demons, or something she had thought of.
"Boss, is it far to that town?"
Fatty asked from the side.
"About a day or so."
Zhang Tian looked at the map. If it were a straight line, it would only take half a day, but the road was not good, so they had to take many detours.
A day or so was about right.
"Then we're screwed. The chickens and dogs we brought have already died."
Fatty said, and Zhang Tian looked back. Indeed, there was no longer any movement from the dogs.
"Alas, the journey is too long, they probably couldn't bear it."
"Don't worry about that for now. Let's get to the town first, and if we find ice, we'll just extract the blood."
Zhang Tian said without looking back. Fatty nodded, and then said nothing more.
Soon, time passed.
A day later.
When a large patch of green plants appeared before their eyes, Zhang Tian knew they had arrived near the town.
From a distance, a mud-brick town appeared.
This town was not as big as Wu City, but it looked quite lively.
The entire town could be seen at a glance.
"Holy crap, boss, our car is about to break down, and we've finally arrived at this damn place."
Fatty complained. Fortunately, the car was durable, otherwise, let alone coming to Xinjiang, it would have broken down halfway.
"There seem to be quite a few people in this town."
Shirley Yang said from the side, her hand on her forehead, looking into the distance.
As for Zhang Qilin, he remained calm and composed, his hat already on.
The car slowly stopped outside the town.
Perhaps it was isolated, or perhaps it was too remote, but there were some young girls walking around in the town.
Although the temperature difference here was huge, with the daytime temperature even reaching forty degrees Celsius, the local people had very good skin tone.
A few people walked towards the town. The townspeople didn't seem too surprised, as if they hadn't seen Zhang Tian and the others.
"Holy crap, Fatty is here, and no one is welcoming me?"
"It must be my walking posture that's wrong!"
Fatty was a little unhappy when no one even looked at him, and he once again strode out his unique gait.
As expected, this move was very effective. For a moment, many people looked in their direction.
"There are hooligans from outside, quickly call the party secretary!"
"This is the strangest foreigner I've ever seen."
A group of people were discussing, and some women even hurried into the town.
"Boss, do you see? Fatty's heroic demeanor has directly conquered the women here!"
Fatty said proudly, but then wondered why it was women.
However, shortly after Fatty finished speaking, a group of people surrounded Zhang Tian and the others. They were wearing blue clothing and seemed to be the local party secretary, village head, and the like.
"Are you the hooligans that Xiao Juan mentioned?"
The party secretary spoke, and Zhang Tian was full of question marks.
Fatty's face fell. Didn't he just attract them with his charm?
"Uh, have you misunderstood something? My brother here has had trouble with his legs since he was young, so his appearance is a bit strange."
Zhang Tian realized what was happening and said with a smile.
Fatty also quickly took a few steps to prove his innocence.
The village head squinted at Zhang Tian and the others.
One girl and four men, this group composition seemed a bit uneven.
"Hello, comrade. We are from the Xia Kingdom Archaeological Team. Here are our credentials."
Hu Bayi took out Shirley Yang's credentials. After the village head read them, his guard seemed to lessen considerably.
"Follow me."
Saying that, the village head led Zhang Tian and the others towards a courtyard.
