217. Chapter 53: The Power of Faith

It is definitely not possible to go back. To put it bluntly, we have no way to live except to continue to search for lost treasures in Lop Nur. People in the world are looking for me outside. If I go out, there is no other way to go except to die.

As for the fake Fang Yao, I don’t feel anything. If Fang Yao is real and not fake, I will definitely go to him. Even if I die in the desert, I will find him, but Fang Yao is fake. Since it is fake, I have no need to find him at all.

Although I don’t know why the fake Fang Xiang followed us, I think since we are following us and are unwilling to be exposed, there must be some big conspiracy, and it would be no bad thing to get rid of him earlier.

After dinner, Mr. Hei asked us to camp and rest in a sheltered place. I saw Mr. Hei sitting on the rock, smoking a cigarette, looking at the distance, and couldn't help but remind him: Mr. Hei, you should rest for a while, I'll wait for you to rest before changing me.

Unexpectedly, Master Hei shook his head and said: I'm not sleepy, you guys hurry up and go to bed. If there is any situation, I'll call you.

Seeing that Hei Ye insisted, I didn't say anything more. When I returned to the tent, Mu Tou and Lin Dieer both advised me not to be too sad, and I thought I had water and food on my body, and I could deal with it as long as it was not too big of a danger.

I thought about it for a while and decided not to hide it from them, so I told them all the things that the fake party thought.

Yan Yangling didn't react much, Lin Die'er was shocked. She said: Isn't this possible? How could there be exactly the same person, and his words and deeds are also very similar.

I shook my head and said I didn't know, maybe there might be any witchcraft that changes people's appearance.

After saying this, I thought of something. Yan Yangling initially suspected Fang Xiang. I found an opportunity to test Fang Xiang. He took out his ID, and the ID was undoubtedly true. If you say so, will the person who pretended to be Fang Xiang have something to do with the group of people who captured Fang Xiang himself?

This cannot be ignored, I think it is more likely.

At this time, Yan Yangling said: Since it is fake, there is no need to worry about him. He has food and water on him. If he dies, he will blame him for his bad life. If he is alive, he can only be said to be a lucky person. Let's take a break and continue on his way tomorrow morning.

After saying that, Yan Yangling took out the Ice and Snow Holy Lotus from the box, handed Lin Die'er a piece, and took another piece himself. After eating it, he said: The next two days will definitely get deeper and deeper, and it will be hot at that time. Take the Ice and Snow Holy Lotus first to prevent it.

I ate this thing early in the morning, so I didn’t need it. After discussing it, we went into the tent to rest.

I hugged in my sleeping bag and listened to the whistling wind coming from outside. I fell asleep soon after. But I felt that I was awakened by a urination after not long after I fell asleep. I got out of the sleeping bag and walked out of the tent, and went to the side to relieve myself. I was about to go back and continue sleeping, but I saw a small red dot on the rock not far away flashing.

When I walked closer, I found that Hei Ye was sitting on the rock smoking. This time he did not smoke dry cigarettes, but cigarettes.

Master Hei was still worried, and didn't know what he was thinking, looking ahead and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

I called Hei Ye, and Hei Ye came to his senses. He ran off the ashes and said a little hoarsely: Why don’t you sleep anymore? Go back and rest quickly, otherwise you will be out of energy tomorrow.

I said I'm not sleepy, Master Hei, go and sleep for a while.

Master Hei shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy either."

To be honest, I actually admire Hei Ye very much. He is so old that he is not afraid of the terror of the desert. He has been busy all day and night and is still so energetic. Just looking at his confused look, I don’t know what he is thinking.

I sat on the rock beside me, tightened my clothes, found a topic to talk to Hei Ye.

"I heard from people in the town that you are not a native of Xinjiang, but came to Xinjiang thirty years ago?"

Hei Ye said, "I arrived in Xinjiang in the early 1980s, and then I lived there."

"Where are you? Why did you live there?" I took out a cigarette, put it in my mouth and lit it with a lighter for several times but it didn't light it. It was too strong.

Master Hei sighed and handed me the cigarette butt in his hand, meaning that I asked me to light it with the cigarette butt. I didn't care either. After taking it, I changed the cigarette butt to Master Hei again.

Hei Ye sighed while holding the cigarette, and said just now: In the late 1970s, Lop Nur was completely dry. The country organized a group of teams to enter Lop Nur for geological exploration, hoping to find out the reasons why Lop Nur really dried up, and to understand the minerals, water quality, geological rocks and other available materials in Lop Nur. Due to the excessive personnel and equipment, a total of three teams entered Lop Nur.

I didn't say anything, and I smoked silently and listened to Mr. Hei continued.

Hei Ye put out the cigarette butts, spit out the smoke, and said with a melancholy look: My father and my wife, I, were both part of the geological exploration team, but I missed the departure time of the first team because I did research in other areas, and the first team was led by my father himself. My wife stayed because she had to wait for me. But what was unexpected was that the team led by my father completely lost contact on the fifth day after entering Lop Nur. At that time, I was still in another place and had not come back. Communication was not developed in that era. My wife wanted to tell me about this but had no chance.

"Because of an accident in the first group, the leading organizational staff ordered the second group to enter Lop Nur immediately. The main purpose of finding the first group was to find the first group. At that time, my wife couldn't wait for me, so she took the initiative to enter the second group. What everyone did not expect was that the second group had completely broken contact in just five days after entering Lop Nur. I knew it was too late because my father and wife had disappeared in Lop Nur.

The organizer also knew about Lop Nur's strangeness and immediately terminated the plan. I was unwilling to give up, because my father and wife had not yet left, so I asked them to send a search and rescue team to search. The organizer agreed to my approach and did send a search and rescue team to search. However, the search and rescue team searched for four days in a row, but still did not find any signs of life in Lop Nur. On the fifth day, the search and rescue team gave up."

The cigarette I held in my hand had gone out. I threw the cigarette butts into the desert, and my heart was touched.

I never thought that there was such a story in Hei Ye. I was fascinated by it and continued to ask: What happened later?

"The reason why the search and rescue team gave up is that they couldn't find anyone, but they were afraid of the curse of Lop Nur. Both groups of people lost contact on the fifth day, and many people thought that Lop Nur had a curse, which was called Lop Nur's fifth day. The roughly means that people entering Lop Nur will not live for five days. This is the reason why the search and rescue team gave up." Although more than 30 years have passed, when it comes to it, Hei Ye's eyes still turned red, and his hunched body was trembling. I know he was angry.

Hei Ye said again: During a geological survey, I became disbanded and became disheartened. After voluntarily dismissed, I came to Lop Nur Town to move in here. I had a belief in my heart that even if my father and wife died, I would find their corpses. I would live to see people and die to see corpses.

"Then did you find it in the end?" I regretted it after asking. If Hei Ye found it, he would definitely leave. It was impossible for him to stay here.

Mr. Hei shook his head and didn't say anything again.

I understand.

A belief has supported Hei Ye for more than 30 years. Hei Ye came to Lop Nur to find the person who was his father and wife. Even if he died, he would find the bones, but things went against his wishes. Hei Ye did not find it and did not fail.

"After coming to Xinjiang, I made a living by raising camels, and I went in and out of Lop Nur. When there was no one, I would enter Lop Nur alone, but it was difficult to find the corpses of my father and my wife. I had many dreams over the past thirty years, and in my dreams I found that my father and my wife were not dead, and they became slaves of evil ghosts. I was trapped in endless darkness and waiting for me to rescue them. With this belief, I have been supporting the present. Others dare not enter the desert or Lop Nur during the Fengshen period when the Saint was angry, but I dared!"

Speaking of this, Hei Ye's eyes turned red again, and he kept sighing at the darkness ahead.

I felt a little sad and didn't know what to say, so I could only comfort Mr. Hei and said softly: Mr. Hei, I don't know what to say, but I think people should have faith and belief. Whether they succeed or not, they should at least have a clear conscience. I think even if you fail to find your wife and father, they will not blame you.

This is true. If Heiye's father and wife really died in Lop Nur more than 30 years ago, they would have been buried by yellow sand long ago. Maybe the bones had been weathered.

Hei Ye shook his head and said: I have a feeling these two days. I feel like I am about to find my father and wife, it's almost...

I sighed, not knowing how to continue, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Hei Ye, his father and wife contributed so much to the country, but later he got such a result. In fact, we can't blame the country. If Lop Nur really had the fifth day curse of Lop Nur, the search and rescue team would probably not only not find Hei Ye's family, but would also sacrifice it in Lop Nur.

If I had never believed in the fifth day curse before, but now it is different. Now I have experienced things that many people cannot experience in their entire lives, and their moods naturally become different.

Seeing that Hei Ye was in a bad mood, I didn't talk about this topic either. I took out a cigarette from my pocket and tried hard to light it, and handed it to Hei Ye. Then I changed the topic and asked: Hei Ye, what exactly is the black shadow we encountered today?

I have never understood this. The black shadow completely penetrates the world, like a black dragon.

Master Hei took the cigarette, took a sip, spit out the cigarette, and smiled and said: Do you know the tornado?

I nodded and said I knew.

"That thing is similar to a tornado, and it is a natural scene." Hei Ye explained: It is the wind season in the desert now, and the strong winds are not stopped. To put it bluntly, the black shadow is just a strong wind that forms a sand storm, similar to a tornado. The sand storm travels in the opposite direction, which is different. When we come, the wind blows from the east to the west, while the sand storm blows from the west to the east.

"Your friend disappeared and might be swept in by a sandstorm. Although the power of the sandstorm is great, it is impossible to sweep the camel away. I think your friend may be a little weird, and maybe it is hard to say that you deliberately leave you and escape. And I heard that he has water and food on him, so it is not impossible to escape from the desert." Hei Ye said in a deep thought.
