Chapter 252 Entering Gutongjing
Huo Ling's words were met with unanimous agreement.
But everyone knew in their hearts that it would probably be a long time before they came to the desert again, and even if Bagri was still alive then, it would be difficult for him to be their guide again.
When it was just his own people, Cheng Feng and the others' quality of life began to rise sharply.
First, the tents have been upgraded, now equipped with soft beds and portable shower facilities.
Secondly, there's food, clothing, and daily necessities; fresh ingredients and various household items are readily available.
Chen Wenjin and the other women treated this trip like a vacation, setting up parasols by the lake.
A row of beach chairs, purchased from the US, was also placed there.
During the day, Cheng Feng's family would comfortably lie under the parasol, some holding juice, others holding juice.
Those holding wine bottles were quite content.
But on the third day, their idyllic vacation was interrupted.
Cheng Feng, wearing beach shorts, gritted his teeth as he watched the long caravan of camels approaching from afar.
"That bastard Wu Sansheng is really something, he actually managed to find this place."
Huo Ling, standing beside her, said disdainfully:
"He's got nothing to lose. He's probably just like us, finding a local guide who's familiar with the desert."
Cheng Feng nodded in agreement.
Chen Wenjin frowned and said:
"Old Cheng was right before. Master Zhang has explicitly forbidden anyone from the Nine Gates from spying on Gutongjing."
What exactly is the purpose of his coming here to Sansheng?
Huo Ling glanced at Chen Wenjin and said:
"I think he's doing this for you, and might even be planning to kill the head of the family in Gutongjing."
He wanted to take advantage of the situation and rekindle his romance with his childhood sweetheart.
Cheng Feng looked at Huo Ling in surprise; this girl's attack power was incredibly strong.
Does the Huo family have a special set of rhetoric when it comes to matters related to the Wu family?
"That's possible, Lao Cheng. If he really attacks you, don't hold back."
Do it the way it should.
Chen Wenjin solemnly confirmed Huo Ling's guess; she couldn't bring herself to ask Cheng Feng to be magnanimous to someone who wanted him dead.
Even if this person is Wu Sansheng.
"Don't overthink it. Wu Sansheng is a deep thinker and wouldn't do something so foolish."
Cheng Feng interrupted the two women's speculations, saying that Wu Sansheng was just a little spice in their lives.
It's not worth wasting too many brain cells on him; if a conflict does arise, it can be resolved in an instant.
"Don't stand here, it's too sunny."
After saying that, Cheng Feng hugged the two women and they walked back to the parasol together.
A dozen minutes later, Wu Sansheng's team also arrived at the lake.
They stared blankly at the row of parasols along the shore of the lake. Was this not a desert, but a resort in Sanya?
They even included beach chairs and parasols!
"What were they thinking? Camels weren't even enough to carry all the supplies, yet they brought these... Wait, where are the camels?"
One of the men in Wu Sansheng's group exclaimed.
The others also realized that, apart from their group, there was no sign of any camels within several miles.
This eerie scene sent chills down the spines of several timid individuals, even in broad daylight.
Wu Sansheng knew more intelligence than they did, and his expression remained unchanged.
"Alright, let's mind our own business and find a place to set up camp. We'll enter Gutongjing when the time is right."
After saying that, Wu Sansheng pulled on the reins and steered the camel to an area a few dozen meters away from Cheng Feng and the others.
Then they started setting up camp.
Cheng Feng turned his gaze away, took a sip of milk wine, and said:
"They're quite perceptive; they didn't come over to bother us."
"If he tries to take over the household, beat him up until he's half paralyzed."
Huo Ling was blatantly stirring things up from the sidelines, emphasizing that she and the Wu family were mortal enemies.
Chen Wenjin ignored him, only frowning as he stared at Wu Sansheng's group.
She took Huo Ling's joke to heart; based on her understanding of Wu Sansheng, the possibility of this happening was not zero.
Hopefully, things won't escalate to an unmanageable level!
Chen Wenjin withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself.
To enter the ancient city of Tongjing, one must not only find the flowing lake in the desert, but also seize an opportunity.
That was the instant Haizi moved.
Then, jump into the lake, and the current will carry you to the ancient city of Tongjing, hidden in the sea of sand.
It has to be said that the Wu family has a bit of good fortune on them.
On the night Wu Sansheng's team arrived.
As Cheng Feng and the others were eating, the sand beneath their feet began to tremble, and some small pebbles bounced around with the tremors.
"The time has come, let's get into the lake!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes and gathered up everything on the shore in one go.
Then, he led the girls to the lake and jumped in.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling each took one of Ah Xiang's hands and the other held Yang Xueli's hand.
The four women followed Cheng Feng and jumped into the lake.
Soon the lake water began to ripple, receding at a visible speed toward an unknown place.
On the other side, Wu Sansheng and the others hurriedly put on their backpacks, and in the end, only a few of them managed to catch the express bus.
Many people and camels were left stranded in the desert, gazing at the vast ocean with longing.
Once in the water, it becomes Cheng Feng's absolute home turf.
He single-handedly protected his wife and sister, allowing them to move with the lake without being disturbed by the current.
Everything around them seemed to recede into the distance, except for the four of them who remained in place.
Soon, Cheng Feng led the four of them out of the lake.
After struggling to climb onto the beach, Chen Wenjin and the others finally saw the world before them clearly.
As far as the eye can see, everything is a vast expanse of white—white sand, white sky.
They stood there as if they were the only color on a blank sheet of paper.
"Is this the ancient city of Gutongjing?"
Yang Xueli looked at everything in front of her in surprise and said softly.
"That's right, this is the ancient city of Tongjing, a place that doesn't exist in reality, yet is connected to it."
Cheng Feng gave an affirmative answer and also revealed the most crucial secret of this place.
"Old Cheng, do you mean this is the same as the imaginary space?"
Chen Wenjin quickly understood Cheng Feng's words; it was easy to see from the boundless white desert that...
If this is truly a reality, then there's no reason why one must go through Haizi to reach it.
Moreover, the light in the sky indicates that this place is not underground.
Only another space can explain everything we see.
"That's right, Haizi is the entrance and exit of Gutongjing. For thousands of years, everyone has come to Gutongjing through it."
"Honey, this place looks a lot like the Ruins you described; it's all white sand."
One is in the sea, the other in the desert.
Huo Ling suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Cheng Feng also noticed this; perhaps this is a fragment of the Ruins of Return.
But that's not important; it's now clear that it has no connection to the Ruins of Return.
"They are somewhat similar, but one is full of seawater, and the other is full of dry sand."
Let's go, let's look for an entrance around here.
After saying that, Cheng Feng led the women into the depths of the white desert.
