To take care of the women in the team.
They walked from night until the early morning of the next day, when it was just beginning to get light.
Finally, amidst a vast expanse of yellow sand and desert, we spotted the ruins of an ancient city!
Countless broken walls and ruins still stand tall amidst the endless yellow sand.
Several towering pagodas also stand there.
Everything tells everyone how glorious this place once was.
Partridge Whistle held the map and compared it repeatedly, then excitedly said, "This should be the Blackwater City of Western Xia!"
After saying that, he quickened his pace and hurried toward the Blackwater City ruins.
Li Xiaohu and his group arrived at the ruins of Blackwater City.
Looking at the vast ancient city ruins.
A gust of wind could only carry away a little yellow sand, nothing else.
I felt a sense of desolation and deathly silence.
Partridge Whistle was about to enter to find the location of the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple.
But Li Xiaohu stopped him.
Li Xiaohu advised, "Brother Partridge Whistle, please calm down."
"We've been traveling all night, we should take a rest."
"You need to be well-rested to continue your work."
“Besides,” Li Xiaohu said, looking up at the sky, “finding directions requires the help of astrology.”
"We can't see a single star in the sky right now, how are we supposed to find our bearings?"
Partridge Whistle was about to say, "We have a map."
But look down.
Finding that none of the reference points on the map he had been searching for could be found here, he swallowed his words.
Yin Xinyue was also a little tired, and said with some dissatisfaction, "That scoundrel is right."
"Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting!"
"He'll definitely lead you to that Tongtian Great Buddha Temple anyway, why are you in such a hurry?"
The old foreigner and Hua Ling also tried to persuade Partridge Whistle.
She whispered something to him.
Partridge Whistle then realized how selfish and wrong he had been.
He hurriedly apologized to Li Xiaohu and the others.
Li Xiaohu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and then told everyone to rest on the spot.
We'll talk about everything when the stars come out in the sky at night.

at last.
It was already night.
The sky was clear and cloudless, with the bright moon and stars hanging high in the sky.
Partridge Whistle couldn't wait any longer.
Having located Polaris, they then led Li Xiaohu and continued their exploration of the ruins.
After walking a while longer.
Partridge Whistle led the group to the general area.
But ancient city ruins are everywhere here.
It's impossible to tell which one was the former Tongtian Great Buddha Temple.
Partridge Whistle then asked Li Xiaohu helplessly:
"Little Tiger Brother".
"Can you find the exact location of the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple now?"
Li Xiaohu nodded and said, "I'll give it a try."
Then he looked up at the sky.
Because they are now located in the northwest plateau region, the air is thin.
The stars in the sky were much more clearly visible than in other places.
Li Xiaohu immediately located the three important star positions from his memory.
"Greedy Wolf! Giant Gate! Prosperity and Sickle!"
"Three Stars Burial Point!"
Then, looking towards the ruins at the center of the three stars, he continued muttering to himself.
"The Three Stars Burial Site, with purple aura soaring to the sky; its head rests on green mountains, its feet tread on jade belts, presenting the image of a dragonfly skimming the water."
His eyes searched through a cluster of ruins.
Finally, they settled on a Buddhist pagoda whose spire was partially exposed from the yellow sand.
Pointing, he said, "It should be right there."
Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up upon hearing this!
Without even confirming with Li Xiaohu again, he hurriedly rushed to the location he indicated.
Seeing this, Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly.
He quickly followed with the rest of the men.
The group walked through patches of ruins.
They soon arrived at the pagoda.
Only the round top of the pagoda was visible above the yellow sand.
The original glazed tiles on top have been eroded by years of wind and sand into dull, lifeless gravel.
All that remains are ravines and even pitted caves.
Li Xiaohu and his companions gazed into the distance.
I thought it was a beehive growing on the ground.
Partridge Whistle walked around the pagoda once.
It is indeed highly likely that this is the top of the "Great Pagoda of Heaven".
He then took out a cyclone shovel and was about to start digging.
The plan is to dig directly into the tower from the top.
Just as they were about to take action.
Li Xiaohu spoke up to stop them, saying, "Wait!"
There seems to be some kind of mechanism here.
After saying that, he walked to the top of the tower and indicated that there might be a problem with these holes.
The girl in red nodded.
After inspecting the area, they selected a hole.
Then he simply reached his hand in.
Sure enough, they found a movable iron chain and pulled it out of the hole!
"Click-clack-clack-clack-clack..."
The thick iron chain made a sound.
A doorway suddenly opened at the top of the pagoda!
Partridge Whistle asked with some surprise, "Brother Little Tiger, how did you discover the secret door here?"
Even Hong Guniang looked at Li Xiaohu with curiosity.
Even she, who was an expert in mechanics, was impressed.
At first, no one realized there was a mechanism here.
Li Xiaohu gave an awkward smile and replied, "Just my intuition."
A light and casual sentence.
