Zuo Dengfeng couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, although Iron Shoes was a person in Buddhism, he had always wanted to match him and Yufu, although Ye Feihong looked scary, he was a woman after all, and Iron Shoes' move was to eliminate potential love enemies for Yufu.
"Master, there are two female camels here, you can take them too."
Zuo Dengfeng shouted at the iron shoes, Ye Feihong had a scar on his face, dark skin, looming muscles, and short hair, more like a man than a woman, Zuo Dengfeng didn't have any evil thoughts about her, and left her just because she was dexterous in her legs and feet.
The iron shoes didn't hear Zuo Dengfeng's words at all, and he didn't look back when he heard the words, and carried Ye Feihong to the east quickly.
Qiu Hu is more honest, but Ye Feihong was very annoyed by the iron shoes holding his neck and collar, raised his hand and pulled out a flying knife from his waist to pick up the iron shoes on his right hand, the iron shoes didn't expect her to do it, and subconsciously let go of her, Ye Feihong pulled out a long knife with his backhand after he landed, and the horizontal knife on his chest prevented the iron shoes from coming up and grabbing again.
"Master, I'm immobile, and if I stay, I'll make a mistake, so I'll go with you."
Qiu Hu limped towards the iron shoes.
"Brother Qiu, after you go back, take your daughter to leave the town and go to live in the Central Plains, the desert border is not a place to live for a long time."
Zuo Dengfeng urged the tiger.
Hearing this, Qiu Hu turned around and nodded gratefully at Zuo Dengfeng, Ye Feihong also heard that Zuo Dengfeng had the intention of keeping her, put away the knife and sheathed it, turned around and ran towards Zuo Dengfeng.
"Amitabha."
Iron Shoes looked at the left peak uneasily.
"Let's go, I'll finish the matter here as soon as possible, and then rush back to help you."
Zuo Dengfeng nodded and spoke.
"You try to go back as soon as possible, or we won't find you if something happens."
Iron Shoes stood in place, waiting for Qiu Hu to approach.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Zuo Dengfeng replied casually, in fact, he left a rune paper with his own aura for Yufu, if something really happened, Yufu could burn the rune paper to inform him.
Iron Shoes eventually left with Qiu Hu, leaving most of the supplies behind, and the rifle as well.
"Find a safe place to settle the camels, and I'll take a look around."
Zuo Dengfeng gave an explanation to Ye Feihong, turned around and walked towards the ruins, as soon as Iron Shoes and Qiu Hu left, he dispelled the idea of going to the dead forest immediately, without the help of Iron Shoes, he had to be more careful.
Ye Feihong nodded in agreement, and instead drove the remaining camels to find shelter in the abandoned earthen city.
Zuo Dengfeng carefully examines and analyzes the surrounding situation everywhere he goes, and this place is no exception, but this ancient city has been abandoned for a long time, and has been hit by strong winds all year round, and there are no valuable clues except for some earthen walls that have not yet collapsed.
In addition, there is a well where caravans come to replenish water if they lack water, and it has been more severely damaged over the years, and most of the items left behind are left behind by previous caravans.
"What are you looking for," Ye Feihong walked over with a torch after settling the camel.
"Clues."
Zuo Dengfeng squatted down and felt the sand under his feet.
"If you are looking for clues, you should go to the Dead Woods, what clues are there here," Ye Feihong asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to determine when this ancient city was ruined, and if possible, I'm going to find out why it's gone."
Zuo Dengfeng explained that this ancient city was set up by Jiang Ziya in accordance with the path of the Twelve Lonely Void Laws, and there must have been other functions in addition to living in the past, and the biggest possibility was to trap the Yin Fire Snake.
"What's the use of studying these" Ye Feihong didn't understand Zuo Dengfeng's intentions.
"These ancient cities are a few points of a formation, this formation was used to trap the giant snake many years ago, and later there was a problem here, the giant snake ran out, the giant snake has a strong fire, and the strong fire makes the Lop Nur area with dense lakes gradually become a desert.
What I'm trying to figure out now is why the serpent ran out, and when it did.
Zuo Dengfeng closed his eyes and spoke.
Ye Feihong didn't ask again when she heard this, her mind was not detailed, what Zuo Dengfeng said seemed simple, and there was a strong logic in time, she didn't understand it thoroughly.
Zuo Dengfeng's subsequent actions made her even more puzzled, Zuo Dengfeng removed the floating sand on the ground, and deducted a piece of soil, which was judged by the fineness of the soil to be a fine soil formed by long-term siltation, and this kind of soil can be used to dig holes.
Later, he found several relatively large houses according to the remaining earthen walls in the city, and then selected a house with an artificially built back door on the back wall, and used the trick of moving mountains to remove the accumulated sand grains in it, and found a possible underground secret room hidden under the east house.
"How do you know that there is a secret room here" Ye Feihong looked at Zuo Dengfeng who was banging on the ground in surprise.
The camel caravan of this ancient city has been here countless times, but no one has found this secret room, but Zuo Dengfeng has found it as soon as he comes.
"The soil here can be used to dig holes, that's a prerequisite.
Judging by the remaining walls, these houses are relatively large, which indicates that the people who lived here were of higher status, and those with high status usually dug tunnels in their homes to store valuables, which could also be used to hide in times of danger.
Zuo Dengfeng explained with a smile.
"Then why are you looking for this house," Ye Feihong nodded and asked.
Zuo Dengfeng's analysis is very reasonable, since ancient times, people have been poor and cheap, and no one in poor families has dug secret rooms.
"Because there is a gap in this earthen wall, this shows that this was a back door back then, and the secret room must be used in conjunction with the back door to have an effect, if a foreign enemy breaks in and finds that the owner has disappeared, he will definitely guess that there is a secret room here, and no matter how hidden the secret room is, it can't withstand careful search.

But if there is a back door, then the enemy will think that the master has escaped through the back door, and no one will look for the secret room again, so that the master will be safe.
Zuo Dengfeng explained again.
Although Ye Feihong has a bold personality, she is not a stupid person, she always thought that she was a relatively smart person in a border town, but compared with Zuo Dengfeng, she found that she was like a careless fool.
"What's the use of finding the secret room, you're not here to find the treasure."
Ye Feihong asked.
Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her when he heard this, and then raised his hand to lift the soil slab under his feet, this earthen board is not a whole, the top is the soil slab after the soil is dried, and the bottom is the wood plank made of poplar wood, five feet long and three feet wide, after the upper board was moved, a hole appeared below.
Zuo Dengfeng shrunk his nose, sniffed the breath coming from inside, and made sure that there was no poison entrenched before he walked sideways down the tunnel, the tunnel has more than a dozen steps, about two meters from the ground, the secret room is square, three meters high, three meters wide, and three meters long.
In the middle of the chamber is a poplar tree trunk that pushes against the top of the chamber to prevent it from collapsing.
There were dead people in the secret room, dead people who had withered, two female corpses lying on the steps of the tunnel exit, three corpses in the northwest corner of the secret room, and some pots and pots and a small number of living utensils scattered in the secret room.
"There's a lot of gold and silver in there, take it all if you want."
Zuo Dengfeng looked around the secret room for a while, then turned around and walked out.
"You're not looking for clues," Ye Feihong stretched out his hand and grabbed Zuo Dengfeng.
"The clue I'm looking for has been found."
Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his hand and pointed to the three corpses in the corner, "There are five people in the secret room, three women and two children, and the child has an arrow stuck in his back, which indicates that there was a war here, and the family took refuge in the secret room, and after the war ended, the men of their family did not come to take them out, the lid on it was too heavy, they couldn't push it open, and finally died of thirst here." ” "What's more" Ye Feihong found that he really couldn't keep up with Zuo Dengfeng's thinking.
"There are a few horseshoe gold on the ground, which is the currency of the Han Dynasty, which indicates that they died two thousand years ago, and the corpses have a certain degree of decomposition, indicating that this is not a dry desert when they died, and the final conclusion is: two thousand years ago, there was a war here, which led to the abandonment of the city, and after the city was deserted, the formation failed, and the giant snake left the area where it lived before, causing a drought in the Lop Nur area."
Zuo Dengfeng said.
"It's unlucky to take the dead man's things, let's go."
Ye Feihong's torch was about to be extinguished, flickering in the dark secret room.
Hearing this, Zuo Dengfeng turned around and walked out, put the lid of the secret room back in place, and moved it through the sand to cover it again.
Then the two returned to the earthen wall where the camels were, and it was almost midnight, and several camels were resting regurgitating, and Thirteen was looking for scorpions in the corners of the city.
In fact, Ye Feihong was also confused at this moment, she didn't understand what Zuo Dengfeng was thinking, but she was embarrassed to ask again.
Zuo Dengfeng sat quietly against the wall, closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and did not say a word.
The temperature dissipated in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night began to cool down, Ye Feihong woke up and found that Zuo Dengfeng was looking up at the waning moon in the sky and was stunned.
"I'll go with you to the Dead Forest after dawn."
Ye Feihong said.
"It's rare that you have this heart, but I'm hesitating to go in right away."
Zuo Dengfeng lowered his head and said, what he valued was not whether the other party could help him, but whether the other party wanted to help him.
"Why" Ye Feihong still couldn't help but ask.
"That Yin fire snake has been out of the confinement, if it doesn't die, it will inevitably escape, the desert is so big, it will be very difficult to find it again, these ancient cities are the twelve lonely void formations left by Jiang Ziya, the role of the year was to imprison the fire snake in this area, what I am thinking about now is whether I can repair this broken formation, trap the giant snake in this area, and then catch turtles in an urn."
Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke.
"It's a good idea."
Ye Feihong nodded again and again.
"But I don't know much about the Twelve Lonely Void Methods, I don't know how these ancient cities became part of the formation back then, whether it was the location, popularity, or water veins, I can't be sure, so I can't start repairing them."
Zuo Dengfeng frowned and shook his head.
The Yin Fire Snake was different from ordinary things, and ordinary formations couldn't trap it at all.
In addition, this is a desert, and there is no array.
"What should I do then," Ye Feihong asked helplessly.
"You can only take a risk."
Zuo Dengfeng shook his head slowly, in the case of not being able to trap the Yin Fire Snake, there was only one chance to fight:
