The sky became quiet.

The construction team began to re-pave the site. Yu Ge brushed off the dirt on his body and said helplessly: "What should we do if these birds come back again? Can't the Forestry Bureau take care of it?"

"This is manageable on the grassland, but we are in an uninhabited area. The nearest forestry bureau is 300 kilometers away." The construction team leader sighed, "This is also the first time I have seen so many vultures. To put it bluntly, they have entered someone else's land."

Uninhabited areas are not suitable for human habitation, so naturally wild animals live there.

Yu Ge: "I thought vultures only ate carrion."

"Well, it's not just that. Vultures often attack herders' sheep. Many times, the locals give herders subsidies, and there's nothing they can do about it."

"Having a background is amazing!" Yu Ge said, "Why didn't I reincarnate as a giant panda?"

The person next to him continued, "Vultures are still okay. You have never seen wolves. When we were doing construction in Province X, it was really desolate there. There were wolves howling all night long. They even dared to come over and grab things..."

"People in the city must have seen few of them. One time, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a pair of green eyes in the bushes, which scared me to death!"

While the others were communicating, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing studied the Sanqing Bell and rang it repeatedly.

"The voice has really changed." Chu Qianli rang the phone frantically, wondering, "It definitely wasn't like this when we heard it in the teahouse that day, right?"

Tan Muxing confessed: "It sounded very clear that day, and it is indeed different from now."

The voice of Sanqingling suddenly changed from that of a young fairy to that of a rough uncle, leaving Chu Qianli at a loss as to how to explain to Mei Ru Z. Could it be that she was the one who ruined the situation?

Chu Qianli asked anxiously, "Then should I find a way to compensate Sister Ru Z?"

Tan Muxing: "But I think the sound is fine, it doesn't seem to be broken. Is it because the ringing method is different?"

The Sanqing Bell cannot make a louder sound the more it is thrown. This is indeed a bit absurd.

Chu Qianli was puzzled. She held the Sanqing Bell anxiously and said decisively: "If you are hesitant, quantum mechanics, let's use the old method!"

Chu Qianli simply cast a fortune on the spot to see if the bell was damaged.

Tan Muxing put the safety helmet in his hand aside. He still had a work suit hanging on his arm. He saw her muttering to herself, waiting quietly for the result.

"It doesn't seem to be bad." Chu Qianli finished her divination. She shook her hands twice and said thoughtfully, "What's going on?"

Tan Muxing watched her study the bell seriously and said, "It looks like an FM speaker, and it can have two modes."

"But it's an antique, not an electronic device. What exactly is used to adjust it..." Chu Qianli suddenly caught a glimpse of the work clothes that Tan Muxing was holding. She thought blankly for a few seconds, then grabbed the work coat and covered her head with it.

Chu Qianli suddenly covered her head with clothes and crouched down stealthily, looking like a scary kid in kindergarten wearing a bed sheet. The work clothes blocked the outside world's view, and no one knew what she was doing underneath.

Seeing this, Tan Muxing asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chu Qianli suddenly popped her head out from under her clothes, holding the Sanqing Bell in her arms. She held up her coat in one hand and excitedly called out to Tan Muxing with the other, saying in surprise, "Xingxing, come here quickly!"

"What's coming?" Tan Muxing walked over in confusion. He squatted down as Chu Qianli instructed, not knowing what she was going to do.

Suddenly, it became dark in front of my eyes and the sky was covered.

The work jacket was quite large and could completely wrap Chu Qianli. It could also be draped over the heads of the two squatting people, making it like a small secret space.

Tan Muxing had just squatted next to Chu Qianli and hadn't noticed it yet, but now he felt her face was very close to him, and they could even share each other's warm breath in this small space.

His ears instantly turned red with nervousness, and he tried to tear off his clothes in panic, trembling, "What, what are you doing..."

Although the two were desk mates at school, they interacted with each other openly and never broke the safe distance!

Chu Qianli would occasionally play around with him, but it was basically just a joke, not the kind of sneaky thing to do.

Tan Muxing was about to escape from his work clothes, but Chu Qianli grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly. She also pulled back the coat that was tilted on his head and said hurriedly, "Don't leave? I haven't shown you how to do it yet!"

"Can't we come out and demonstrate? Do we have to stay here?" Tan Muxing was pulled by her and had to squat back helplessly. He was now feverish and at a loss. He didn't even know where to look, mainly because the two sides were too close.

Tan Muxing squatted there awkwardly, but Chu Qianli's eyes were shining, and he couldn't wait to share the secret.

The two of them huddled together, covered by their work clothes, blocking out the wind from the outside world.

Chu Qianli raised the Sanqing Bell and shook it again, saying mysteriously, "Listen."

A series of clear and pleasant bell sounds rang out, no longer with the heaviness of the sounds used to drive away vultures.

Tan Muxing was embarrassed. He was stunned and said, "It's back."

Chu Qianli continued to ring the bell, ding-ding-ding, and it sounded very pleasant.

The next second, she opened her work clothes, stood up suddenly, and rang the bell in the empty Gobi Desert. The Sanqing bell instantly became loud and majestic, and the sound of the bell spread very far in the wind.

"Is this..." Tan Muxing said incredulously, "according to environmental changes?"

"I don't know. It seems that when I'm indoors or when there's something around me, it's just a jingle. It only changes when I'm in a particularly desolate place."

The city is full of tall buildings. Chu Qianli rang the bell all the way that day, and the sound was mostly crisp, without the situation like in the Gobi Desert.

Now, the uninhabited wasteland has sparse vegetation, only silt and slightly undulating black-brown rocks, and the environment is naturally very different.

Chu Qianli discovered the wonders of the Sanqing Bells. She immediately became interested in the new game and changed the ringtones repeatedly. She put on her work clothes for a while, and then suddenly came out, switching between normal mode and empty mode frantically!

Not only did she want to play herself, she also insisted on talking to Muxing, and the big white bear could only squat and cooperate.

The result of the novelty was dizziness. Chu Qianli stood up and squatted frequently, and called out to others excitedly. She finally stood up too quickly and felt dizzy. Suddenly, she couldn't squat anymore and fell to the side uncontrollably, almost knocking over Tan Muxing.

Tan Muxing used one hand to support himself and managed to keep his balance. With the other hand, he held up the fallen kid and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Let's go back and try again."

Chu Qianli then realized that they were all leaning on their companions. When she saw his palms touching the sand, she immediately became obedient and said, "Okay."

Tan Muxing was about to take off the work clothes covering the two people, but the coat was opened first, and the light from the outside world instantly fell into the dark space.

"What are you two doing squatting there..." Yu Ge suddenly opened his coat. He saw the two people leaning against each other again. He was silent for a few seconds, covered his clothes again, and whispered, "Sorry to bother you."

"...No, no, no, Brother Yu, you misunderstood. It's not what you think!"

"It's okay, I understand. Then I'll go?"

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing took the Sanqing Bell to conduct experiments in other places in the Gobi Desert to confirm that the sound of the bell would change with the surrounding environment. When they rang the bell near the workstation, it often made a ding-ding-ding sound, but when they went to a remote place far away from buildings, they heard a different sound.

"It is a calming bell in crowded places, and its use in the wild mode is different?" Chu Qianli fiddled with the bell in his hand and exclaimed, "The wisdom and skills of the ancients are really amazing. The compass can also see both the sky and the ground."

Although Chu Qianli and others have not yet figured out the principle of how ringtones can drive away birds, they recorded an audio clip of a ringtone in the Gobi Desert and played it at the construction site every day, even at night.

The workstations are spaced far apart so that no sound can be heard and the workers' rest at night will not be disturbed.

Everyone began to worry that the recorded audio was invalid, but the anti-sand net was not damaged for several days, so subsequent work could go on.

The construction team leader almost gave the expert advisory team a thumbs up and said happily: "It feels just like a dove whistle? It's really advanced technology!"

Some people use whistles to train pigeons, but Chu Qianli uses bells to drive away vultures.

"No, no, it's not particularly advanced, it's just bringing new popular songs from outside into the vast desert..." Chu Qianli waved his hands humbly, "It's real breaking music!"

The audience of Sanqingling has evolved from humans to vultures, making it a true king of breaking the music circle.

The construction team was away from wild animal disturbances, and the construction work was finally on track, so they could start the terrain survey.

The project was quite complicated, as it required both the construction of a railway and wind and sand control. Workers set up high vertical sand barriers around the area, used biological methods to control sand, and planted some drought-resistant plants along the line.

The job of the expert advisory group is to find the best solution in the rough terrain. This is also a difficult problem in feng shui. The main reason is that in the past, plans were made near beautiful mountains and rivers, but now new solutions have to be opened up in the wilderness.

The signal at the construction site was not good, and Chu Qianli had to go back to the workstation to get internet access. Her work in the Gobi Desert was boring until something unusual happened during the daily divination.

"It's really like when it rains and when it pours..." Chu Qianli's scalp tingled after seeing the result. She immediately put on her safety helmet carefully, and struggled in the room for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and put on her work clothes and went out.

It is not suitable for her to go out today, or to be more precise, it is not suitable for her to go out during this period!

Chu Qianli had encountered a similar situation before. She sensed that there might be a bloody disaster, so she could just stay at home and not go to school. However, now that they were working in a group, she couldn't just make a fuss and not go to work, right?

But she had to inspect a new area today. If she stayed at the workstation during this period, wouldn't everyone's progress be affected? When her luck was over, maybe she should return.

On the way, Chu Qianli was very nervous in the car. Normally, she was dizzy and disoriented due to the shaking, but now she was so nervous that she huddled in her seat carefully before the car even started.

Yu Ge noticed her strangeness and said in surprise, "Hey, someone is so quiet today?"

Under normal circumstances, Chu Qianli would definitely retort, but today she acted out of character and stayed in the corner without saying a word.

"What's the matter? Are you sick?" Yu Ge didn't wait for Chu Qianli to counterattack, and was actually quite uncomfortable. He turned around in surprise, not understanding the little master's silence.

Chu Qianli shook her head.

Tan Muxing always felt that this scene was familiar. He noticed that she was inexplicably tense and asked tentatively: "...Is it because of bad luck today?"

After hearing this, Chu Qianli finally raised her head and nodded helplessly, almost crying.

When Tan Muxing recalled her frown during the physical examination, he was quick to comfort her: "It's okay, it was resolved last time, it's definitely okay!"

Tan Muxing has already understood that Chu Qianli cares about these things particularly. If she predicts bad things, the alarm bells will go off and she may not be in good condition for the whole day.

Yu Ge said casually: "It's just bad luck, if it really doesn't work, I'll give you a lucky charm!"

"Please take me there, thank you."

"Huh?" Yu Ge turned back in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Chu Qianli repeated earnestly: "Please take me there, thank you."

"It seems that the problem is indeed quite serious..." Yu Ge took out a talisman from his pocket in a daze. He handed it to Chu Qianli and said in surprise, "You didn't like to talk about drawing talismans before?"

Chu Qianli thought that Yu Ge's talisman drawing skills were not good enough, and now he actually put the amulet away, which naturally surprised him.

Tan Muxing seemed to be thinking about something. As soon as he got out of the car, he followed Chu Qianli closely, almost inseparable from her.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, work must be done. When the group arrived at the new area, they saw ravines crisscrossing the area.

The construction team leader led the way and warned: "Don't go to the edge of the Gobi Desert. There are always tourists who like to stand there to take pictures when they drive by. Many of them have fallen down!"

"Those are considered safe areas. Fewer people come here. Many places are more dangerous."

The wind and sand in the Gobi Desert are too strong, and there are traps everywhere, often making people take one step forward and one step back.

Chu Qianli planned to make a quick decision. She took out a compass from her schoolbag and wanted to start today's work.

Tan Muxing stood beside Chu Qianli and summarized the data. Yu Ge had already put on his equipment and was ready to receive signals from his companions. He shouted, "Okay!"

Yu Ge is not strong but agile. It is said that he was weak and sickly when he was young, so he became a disciple. His master taught him some body training methods, and he gradually became healthy. He has rich experience in field fortune-telling, but of course he is not as good as Pan Yicheng and Chu Qianli.

There has been a proverb about Feng Shui masters since ancient times: First-rate geomancers watch the stars, second-rate geomancers look at the water mouth, and third-rate geomancers walk all over the mountains.

The three of them now divided the work and cooperated with each other. Chu Qianli opened the compass, Tan Muxing drew the map paper, and Yu Ge measured the ground.

The more anxious you are, the more difficulties you will encounter. Chu Qianli observed the celestial phenomena, then looked down at the compass, frowned and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate to open the market now..."

"Oh, wait a moment then."

This area was frequently blown by wind and sand, causing the three of them to move slower than usual, and they had to stop for a while after a while.

There is naturally no weather forecast in this uninhabited area, and frequent sandstorms are commonplace, but today is a little different.

"The wind is coming again." Chu Qianli was about to put down the compass when she suddenly felt something was wrong. "Wait, what is this..."

The construction team leader was used to the weather in the desert. He held the shovel tightly and shouted: "The sandstorm is so strong! Get back to the car!"

The yellow-brown tornado came with great force, like a huge wave, different from the small sandstorm before.

Seeing this, everyone immediately put down their work and ran to the side of the convoy to take shelter. There were too few shelters on the Gobi Desert, and there was really no place to hide from the wind.

Nature's whirlwinds are much faster than humans', and they catch the rushing crowd in the blink of an eye. Strong winds mixed with rough particles whizz past their ears!

Chu Qianli had only heard the sound of the wind at night a few days ago. This was the first time she felt the terrifying power of nature in person. She could originally see her colleagues not far away, but now she had lost her vision due to the yellow sand and could not see any direction within half a meter!

Chu Qianli was just retreating with the crowd, but she slowly lost her way and suddenly became panic-stricken. She wanted to tell fortunes with her fingers, but was almost blown away by the wind, and she suddenly felt the powerlessness of her previous life.

The time was too short and the wind was too strong, leaving no chance for calculation.

People always avoid unpleasant memories, and there were times when she seemed powerless.

I ran and escaped desperately, but I couldn't hide away. It was useless even if I knew.

"Stars..." Chu Qianli turned around in place, then ran two steps against the wind and sand, and said in a mournful voice, "Stars!"

The wind was howling, but she could hear nothing and didn't know where she was.

She reluctantly ran based on her memory, not daring to lie down rashly for fear of being buried.

Chu Qianli knew that no one could hear her, but she still walked forward and subconsciously shouted, "Xingxing..."

The sky is filled with yellow sand, and she is the only one there.

The next second, someone met her in the wind and found her exactly where she was in a panic.

He heard a familiar voice: "I'm here."
