Xu Tian raised his head, and Ji Jing was immediately shocked. Is this guy with messy hair, beard and messy clothes like a beggar?!

Ji Jing contrasted in surprise with the refreshing little teenager in his memory with the sloppy little beggar in front of him. What did he suffer?

Five minutes later, Xu Tian took Ji Jing and others to his office – if the room that was about to be filled with paper and screen could be called an office.

“Tons, tons, tons…” Xu Tian drank a large glass of water fiercely before he finally recovered.

“Are you going to the wilderness to survive?” The doll commented strangely and sharply. This guy looked like the person who ran to the no man’s land in the TV he used to watch with his master.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian didn’t choke with the doll, but directly gave a thumbs-up. “You guessed it right. It’s really a wilderness survival!”

“Are you going to the desert again?” Ji Jing remembered that when he called Xu Tian last time, he said that he found the desert directly in order to find the missing Taoist priest. He thought that only a terrible environment like the desert could make Xu Tian’s good young man look so sloppy.

However, when Xu Tian came back, he was in much better condition than now. Presumably this experience was more difficult.

Xu Tian nodded fiercely as if he had found a bosom friend: “Yes, it’s still about that guy. His last clue disappeared in the desert. I could only look for him all the way. I almost lost my life there!”

“What’s going on? Tell me more about it.” Mingze rolled up the gentle wind, piled up the books and paper piled up on the sofa in the office, and tided it up again before reluctantly agreeing to let people sit down.

Xu Tian automatically sat on the single sofa in the corner, and then skillfully and accurately pulled out a pile of paper. “Look at this, the missing Taoist master went to the desert to investigate this matter.”

Ji Jing took the pile of paper and spread it out. It was a picture of a village. It looks like a small village living next to a desert oasis, but it has long been abandoned for some reason. The masonry and tile eaves are attached with a layer of yellow sand, which looks dilapidated.

“Look at this one again,” Xu Tian pulled out a picture below, which is also a picture of a village, but the village in this picture obviously has popularity and vitality. “This is the same village, and the difference between the two photos is only one year.”

Ji Jing was shocked, “Only one year away? How can it change so fast…” Something unusual must have happened in this village.

“After solving the matter of the apartment building, the Taoist chief stayed in C City for a while. It seems that he met a soul who stayed in the world because he missed his hometown.”

Xu Tian clicked on the vibrant picture, “The Taoist master promised to bury him back to his hometown. This photo was provided by the deceased, so the Taoist master took this photo to the desert.”

“And this one was taken after he arrived at the village in person.” Xu Tian sighed, “In this year, an earthquake and a huge sandstorm swept the whole village. The water source was destroyed, the village was completely abandoned, and the building was empty.”

Ji Jing frowned: “The people in that village…”

“I survived. Thanks to modern technology. Although I was forced to leave my hometown, the people inside still moved out in a hurry. But the problem is not that the village was abandoned, but that the Taoist followed the desert to find the cause of the earthquake and sandstorm.

Xu Tian turned to the bottom picture, which was a strange satellite picture. In the vast desert, there was a terrain that looked like an eye pattern from the sky.

When she saw the picture, Ji Jing’s expression suddenly changed.

“What kind of suppression is this? Is it a problem that caused the surrounding earthquakes and sandstorms? Ji Jing asked.

“That’s right.” Xu Tian took a deep breath and said, “I followed the clue left by the Taoist priest at the beginning and went deep into the array and found that the seal stone in the array was missing! Moreover, the seal stone is not the first day of disappearance at all. It may have been missing for dozens or hundreds of years! The formation is loosened, and the suppressed demons in it are constantly impacting the formation. After so many years, it has led to the earthquake and sandstorm. The Taoist preacher found out about this and martyred himself, but he could only reluctantly let the array continue for a few years..
