His royal tomb has been searched countless times, but nothing has been found in the end.
It's true that the sect used to raid tombs, but starting with the previous sect leader, they stopped doing so.
Qi Song and the other newcomers simply didn't understand.
The second brother and his brothers do understand, but they haven't done it for many years.
Only Bai Jiang received the true teachings of the former sect leader, but the previous sect leader wouldn't let him do that.
So when the cat suddenly produced this kind of information, they were shocked. They were shocked that the information in their hands was about the Great Xia Royal Mausoleum, and they were also shocked that this was a task that was to be assigned to them!
Cat said, "I'm not asking you to go tomb raiding. This is a project led by Professor Gu, and we're going to do some excavation."
Everyone immediately understood.
So it turns out Professor Gu is leading the team, then it must be a legitimate project.
The fourth brother was still puzzled: "Professor Gu has already taken action, so what do we need to do?"
General Bai asked, "Shall we accompany you to protect you?"
The cat nodded.
As expected, Bai Jiang is more reliable.
The others also suddenly realized.
But then the cat said, "The location of the Great Xia Royal Mausoleum is in a desert no-man's-land. Even if you have a seasoned guard with you, you will be completely in the dark."
"You guys discuss it. Not everyone needs to go, and we can't bring that many people. One group can accompany and protect them, and the other can assist with the excavation."
The third brother couldn't help but get excited. "This is great! This is our moment to perform! I've been walking in the desert for years, so I definitely have to go. No one knows the terrain here better than me."
Others were envious.
The third brother was in the Northwest, tanned as dark as charcoal. People used to laugh at him all the time, but now they can't help but envy him.
After discussing it, they finally decided on Bai Jiang, Lao San, Li Zhongcheng, Qi Song, and Fang Qingqing.
Li Zhongcheng, Qi Song, and Fang Qingqing were all flattered. They had thought that such an opportunity was far beyond their reach.
The fourth brother patted Li Zhongcheng on the shoulder with a hearty laugh, “You are the next generation of the sect. We’ve seen this kind of situation before, so of course we’ll give it to you. Don’t panic in case of trouble. Anyway, we have the eldest brother, and if all else fails, we still have the sect leader.”
The three were deeply moved.
That's settled then.
This is actually a mentorship program for cats, but since the cat's mentor is Professor Gu!
Professor Gu generously brought along three of his students for this national-level cultural relic excavation project, with Maomao naturally being one of them. Moreover, they were leaving immediately, as they needed to start before the weather turned cold, as they were going to go next week.
Accompanying them was Jiu Yebai, who represented the Jingmen sect and also served as technical support.
A week later, the convoy set off.
After driving for two days, we took a short break before entering the desert, and stayed at Lao San's place.
This made everyone exclaim how convenient it was.
"We are very well prepared this time, and we hope to achieve something," Professor Gu said.
Professor Chen added, "Yes, the Great Xia Royal Mausoleum has been investigated for many years, and only recently was it discovered that someone was attempting to rob it. These tomb raiders... are utterly despicable. If the Great Xia Royal Mausoleum really exists, we need to hurry."
At this point, Professor Gu couldn't help but look at Jiu Yebai: "Has the route been planned yet?"
Jiu Yebai nodded. "Before we venture deeper into the desert, our car can travel another 200 kilometers, which should be enough to reach our destination if nothing unexpected happens."
Professor Gu looked at everyone and instructed, "Go to bed early tonight and get some rest. We'll be heading into the desert tomorrow."
The next day, the convoy drove into the desert.
This was Qi Song and his group's first time entering a desert, let alone such an uninhabited area. As far as the eye could see, it was all gray and desolate.
Qi Song was engrossed in adjusting the camera and the video camera.
He served as the photographer during this operation, responsible for recording information.
The first day in the desert went relatively smoothly. They spent the night in tents and continued their journey the next day.
The sandstorm was getting worse, and the wind was slowly picking up.
Professor Chen said worriedly, "The weather in the desert is hard to predict. The wind suddenly picked up. I hope it stops soon."
However, the wind did not stop quickly and instead grew stronger. Fearing a sandstorm, they halted their journey.
At night, we still set up tents to spend the night.
While the others chatted around the campfire outside, Cat lay alone on a weathered, flat rock, gazing at the stars.
Jiu Yebai jogged over; he had just eaten some roasted lamb and still smelled of cumin on his clothes.
"Kitty, what are you looking at?"
Cat: "Let's look at the stars."
Jiu Yebai also looked up and said, "It's quite beautiful... Hehe, they're discussing supplies over there, planning how to use water, saying they're worried they won't have enough before leaving the desert."
Jiu Yebai's tone also carried a hint of schadenfreude, because he knew that with Maomao around, their supplies would not be insufficient. However, Maomao's all-purpose backpack should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Jiu Yebai also lay down on the rock.
As I lay down, I discovered that the stars in the sky were even more beautiful, like a dark blue silk ribbon unfolding before my eyes, which was truly breathtaking.
This time, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's so beautiful...it's quite different from the stars on the sea."
The cat pointed to a star in the northern sky and asked, "Little White, do you know what that is?"
Jiu Yebai: "Of course I know, the Big Dipper. It's the foundation for finding your way in the wild, everyone knows that, right?"
The cat seemed to give a soft hum, "You still don't understand."
"That is Polaris. The Big Dipper revolves around it. It is the Emperor Star among the five stars of the North Pole, the Purple Star... The Purple Star is the master of all stars and the grandmaster of all things. It is located at the center of the North Pole and never moves."
"This vast expanse of stars is the Purple Star Enclosure. This is where Ah Jin used to live."
The cat's paws traced patterns under the sky, marking out areas.
"This is Kunlun Immortal Mountain, this is Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou, the four immortal mountains, where many old immortals live."
"Xiyuan's home is here."
"Little Bai, do you know what the Star Gazing Technique is?"
Jiu Yebai was already confused by what the cat had just said. It was like listening to a story, but it didn't sound like a story coming from the cat's mouth!
Just as he was feeling somewhat shocked and scared, he heard the cat ask another question.
He could only subconsciously answer, "Isn't that the secret technique of the Wind Gate?"
