While a few of us were talking, Lao Diao could no longer find a cigarette butt that could be bitten open.

I squinted my eyes and said, "Is it time to deliver food, Ren Tianqing is looking at you." ”

Not long after Ren Tianqing nodded and left, the prison guard in charge of delivering food walked into the confinement room, and Lao Diao said with a hippie smile: "Sir, sir, can you give me a few cigarettes to smoke?"

The prison guard took out half a box of cigarettes, lit one himself, and threw the rest to the other party: "Think about your own problems, don't fix those useless ones." ”

"Definitely, definitely......" Lao Diao nodded and sent the prison guard away, the first thing was not to eat but to smoke quickly. After a while, Lao Diao stood up and pinched his throat with one hand, trying to cough up phlegm.

I sneered, "Xiao Qingtian, how much did you add to that cigarette?"

Ren Tianqing said: "He only needs to smoke half of his throat to bleed, don't worry, the effect will be seen in a while." ”

Ren Tianqing doesn't know how to use poison, but he has a lot of things in his hands. She can't kill anyone, but she can make people uncomfortable for days.

After a while, Lao Diao knelt on the ground, coughing up bloody phlegm one by one, and couldn't say a word in his mouth.

The prison warden was worried: "Team Leader Wang, is this possible?" or ......?"

"Don't worry, we have a little in mind. I waved my hand and said, "Lao Diao has been smoking desperately just now, not because he was panicking, but because he was using cigarettes to suppress the discomfort in his throat." ”

I don't know if there is a scientific basis for the claim that chewing tobacco leaves can reduce inflammation and sterilize. However, I can see that Lao Diao must be suppressing his throat disease.

After a short while, I saw Lao Diao crawling towards the door of the confinement room, slamming the door twice with all his might, and the man fell to the ground with him.

"Not good!" I suddenly turned on my face: "Hurry up and save people." ”

When I rushed over, Lao Diao was already unconscious in the confinement room, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth.

Ren Tianqing's face turned pale with fright: "I didn't make a heavy hand, this is not ......"

"Rescue first!" I directly dragged Lao Diao out of the confinement room and put him in the prison ambulance.

Ren Tianqing kept explaining from the moment she got in the car: "I really didn't mean to, I don't have poison in my hands, I ......"

I finally comforted Ren Tianqing, and the ambulance had already driven into the depths of the Gobi Desert. While the car was still speeding on the Gobi Desert, I kicked the old man lying in the car: "Don't play dead, get up!"

Ren Tianqing, who was still nervous just now, immediately calmed down, took out a dagger from his body and pressed it at Lao Diao's feet, and aimed the blade at Lao Diao's hamstrings: "Get up for me." ”

Lao Diao is still motionless until now, but I said coldly: "This is the Gobi Desert, I can kill you or release you." If you dare to play dead with me, I will let you die immediately. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Diao, who was sallow-faced, opened his eyes and made a gesture to me, which means: Who are you?

I said coldly, "Don't use the things of the No Ghost Sect, we are not from the No Ghost Sect. You've seen my credentials, and I can tell you that we're the official detectives. ”

Lao Diao hesitated: "You are gods and ghosts?"

Lao Diao has been in prison all the time, but he is extremely well-informed, and it seems that his son is not just coming to deliver food and drink.

I looked at Lao Diao with murderous eyes: "Since you know who I am, then save me from introducing me." Whether to recruit or not depends on your words. ”

I stretched out my hand to push Magnum away as I spoke, and Lao Diao thought for a while before saying, "If you tell me one thing clearly, I'll say it!"

I suppressed my anger and said, "Speak up and listen!"

Lao Diao said: "Has Fan Chongyi really become an adult or a ghost?"

"Yes!" I nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

Lao Diao closed his eyes and nodded, "Sure enough, when I finish speaking, can you send me back to prison? The farther away from the Gobi Desert, the better. I didn't ask for anything other than to spend the rest of my life in prison. ”

"Yes!" I nodded, "As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I will definitely meet your request." ”

Lao Diao nodded slightly and said, "This matter has to start from more than forty years." At that time, I was still a child, and I was adopted by my stepfather to join the Ghostless Sect......"

Lao Diao's story at the beginning was very simple, that is, the No Ghost Sect prepared a dual identity for him, and he went to school, took exams, and participated in work like an ordinary child. On the other hand, he is secretly learning the tomb robbery skills of the Ghost No Sect.

After graduating, he was admitted to the Cultural Relics Bureau with the highest score in the city. No one thought that this vigorous and honest young man would be a veteran tomb robber who had been in and out of the cemetery for four years.

When Lao Diao was hidden in the Cultural Bureau, he really lived a peaceful life for a few years, and he also married a wife and had children. It wasn't until he was ordered to join the Dunhuang expedition that everything changed.

The Ghost Sect had long had the idea of attacking the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, but because Dunhuang has always been under the strict protection of the authorities, it has not been successful, and cultivating Lao Diao is just to prepare for the treasure theft in Dunhuang.

Lao Diao followed the scientific expedition team into Dunhuang for the purpose of finding the missing Lezun secret room, but the purpose of the archaeological team was completely different from Lao Diao. Lao Diao's actions were naturally quite restricted. Just as Lao Diao racked his brains to find an opportunity to break away from the archaeological team, he met Fan Chongyi, a man who firmly believed that Dunhuang was hiding a shocking mystery.

Lao Diao kept telling Fan Chongyi about the news he got from the No Ghost Sect as a legend. Fan Chongyi really followed the clues he mentioned and walked through every corner of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. I finally discovered the secret room hidden under Dunhuang.

Lao Diao himself said: To this day, he can't get out of that nightmare.

At that time, Lao Diao was taken by Fan Chongyi into a secret passage that was only one meter high, with his experience, it was a tomb robber who came out to steal the hole, but he didn't remind Fan Chongyi of this, and followed Fan Chongyi into the underground palace under the robbery hole only to realize that something was wrong - the underground palace that several of them entered was not the kind of conventional square building, but three huge stepped slopes.

The floor where Lao Diao and the others were located was empty, only a bluestone avenue that continued to stretch on both sides.

The slope above the avenue is full of gods and Buddhas, a god and Buddha treasure, palms together, eyes down to the middle of the avenue, the faint flow of essence in the eyes is like substance, even if you deliberately turn around and do not look at the gods and Buddhas in the sky, you will feel that you are being watched by thousands of pairs of eyes, people can't help but want to tremble.

When Lao Diao subconsciously turned down, he saw endless demons hidden under the avenue. Countless ghosts and undead crouched under the slope, desperately climbing upward, trying their best to break through the barrier of the bluestone avenue, rush to the sky, and fight the gods and Buddhas. Although the ghost statue under the avenue is a dead thing, it makes people feel murderous, and it seems that they can jump up at any time and go straight to the top of the road.

Lao Diao only felt that it was wrong to look anywhere: "I said, Dr. Fan, where should we go!"

Fan Chongyi looked extremely excited: "Go forward, go forward...... The front is the end. ”

Lao Diao swallowed his saliva and said, "Dr. Fan, how do you know that it should be forward?"

The thief hole they came in was hanging right above the avenue, and they could go forward or backward.

Dr. Fan excitedly said, "According to the Buddhist theory of the past, present, and future. Where we are is now, if we don't go to the future, can we go to the past? Listen to me, it's definitely right. ”

"Oh...... Oh!" Lao Diao vaguely agreed, and quietly tightened his pistol.

At that time, there were a total of eight people, and except for Fan Chongyi, who brought an assistant, the rest were all disciples of the Ghostless Sect secretly recruited by Lao Diao. He was not afraid of any tricks Fan Chongyi would play, he was afraid of this unknown underground palace.

Fan Chongyi flashed the flashlight and walked forward, Lao Diao couldn't help but look back, but he almost scared himself out of his soul at a glance: "Dr. Fan, let's ...... Why is everything behind us gone?"

Fan Chongyi turned around and said: "The past represents disappearance and forgetting, we have walked out of the past, and the things behind must disappear." ”

Lao Diao finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Fan Chongyi, I'm not discussing the past and future with you now? I'm asking, why are there no things behind us? Where have all so many gods, Buddhas, and monsters gone?" Also, what about the avenue on the ground?

Fan Chongyi smiled: "I said, the past means disappearing." They stand behind us, it's us who pass, I come over, and they disappear. If someone walks in front of us, we will be his past, and it will surely be erased. ”

Lao Diao's face turned pale suddenly, and he walked in front of Fan Chongyi in a few steps: "What about your special fart......, right?"

Before Lao Diao's words were finished, he almost knelt on the ground with weak legs, and the disciples of the Ghostless Sect who were in charge of the back of the hall were gone, and only a dark shadow remained in his original location. But in the endless darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes, looking at Lao Diao through a heavy black shadow.

Intuition was telling Lao Diao that the disciple who disappeared must be standing in place, standing in that dark shadow. But he did not dare to see whether the man was dead or alive.

Lao Diao's legs trembled, and Fan Chongyi took two steps beside him: "Don't go first, don't go first...... Let's ...... together Let's move forward!"

Lao Diao wanted everyone to go forward in a row, but how could that bluestone avenue have that kind of width? Advancing side by side, someone had to step on the avenue and step on the demons all over the ground to follow them; if they dispersed their actions, someone would have to be left behind and become the "past" that had been erased.
