Chapter 567 The Desert Smoke Rises
The first thing my fox mother said when she saw me was: "Wang Huan, something happened to your little lover!"
I slipped out of my mouth: "Which little lover?"
"Scumbag!" followed in unison.
I was stunned for a long time and couldn't figure out what they said, and the fox mother continued: "Si Ruo is missing!"
"What's going on!" I jumped up from my hospital bed.
The fox mother said: "After Si Ruo separated from you, he took a group of demon gate blood guards to the desert, and it is said that they found a large forbidden area there. Originally, their mission went very smoothly, but Si Ruo didn't know where to get the news that you were besieged by the Divine Explorer. ”
Si Ruo was furious and released the news that he was in the desert. The elite of the Detective Hands then swarmed in, and Si Ruo led the Demon Gate to entangle with the Detective Hands for more than a month, killing the Detective Hands and crying bitterly. ”
"Under the fury, the Divine Explorer sent two elites into the desert to chase and kill Si Ruo. Although the Demon Gate intercepted several times, it failed to block the large-scale attack of the Divine Explorer. ”
The fox mother paused here and said, "According to the information we have received, the Detective Hands were ambushed by Si Ruo on the desert and suffered heavy casualties. But Si Ruo didn't expect that a god probe appeared behind him after traveling thousands of miles, and was attacked from both sides. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a heavy sinking in my heart: "What happened later?"
The fox mother said solemnly: "Si Ruo successfully led the army to break through, but the detective hand chased after him. After the two sides went deep into the desert together, they all disappeared. ”
I was stunned: "What does it mean to be all gone?"
The fox mother said: "It's that thousands of people have disappeared out of thin air like evaporation from the world, and there is no one alive or dead." ”
I couldn't help but gasp: "What kind of forbidden area are they going to explore?"
"I don't know!" Mother Fox shook her head and said, "But from the position where they are fighting, I can roughly deduce that Si Ruo is going to the ancient country of Loulan." ”
Although the ancient kingdom of Loulan is not a myth, it has left countless legends.
Loulan, which has flourished for hundreds of years, really exists in the desert, but it has mysteriously disappeared into history. There is no document to record the reason for Loulan's disappearance, let alone where Loulan went, and Loulan has also left countless mysteries for the world.
I muttered, "Loulan, the Demon Gate has always only focused on mythology, they will not go to archaeology, let alone excavate any Loulan ruins, unless there is some legend in the direction of Loulan. ”
It's not that I have the leisure to discuss any desert myths, but if I don't understand Si Ruo's goal, I can't find Si Ruo in the vast desert.
Fox Mother said: "The desert myth has never been the mainstream of mythology, and the forbidden area extending to the west is under the control of the Demon Gate, it is difficult for us to deduce the specific location of Si Ruo, if, according to my thoughts, I suggest you search in the direction of the Loulan Ruins, maybe there will be any clues there." ”
"Mother Fox, you prepare, let's set off immediately. "I got up and walked out.
The fox mother followed behind me and said, "This time, how many people are you going to take?" ”
"I, Ye Xun, Tao Xiyu! As I walked, I said, "Bring the big ears at most." ”
The big ear, which had been leaning on Ye Xun's body, immediately smiled at me when he heard that I was going to take it.
The fox mother muttered: "It's okay, at least it's easy to move." I'll arrange a guide for you. When the time comes, you follow him into the desert. ”
The fox mother handed me half a copper coin: "When you enter the desert, take this to Tianshakou to find him." He will arrange everything for you. ”
I looked at the "Kangxi Tongbao" in my hand that was cut in half and said, "What is the name of the guide you are talking about?"
The fox mother shook her head and said, "I don't know either." Back then, he owed me a favor, and once told me that as long as I took this half copper coin to him, he could do anything. If I go into the desert, the only person I can trust is him. ”
I couldn't help frowning when I took the copper coin, if it were a different person, I would definitely spit on him in the face - something you can't figure out yourself, just let me go over and jump into the pit?
The fox mother is not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion, and I can trust the people she introduced to me.
I put away the copper coins and put on the equipment and the helicopter arranged by the fox mother.
By the time I arrived at the gate, there were already people waiting there, and the other party led the three of us to the edge of the desert and pointed to the distance, saying, "Go over there to Tianshakou." However, Tianshakou seems to us to be just a legendary place name, and the map has not marked where Tianshakou is, if you can't find Tianshakou within three days, you should come back quickly, right? ”
The fox mother didn't tell me the specific location of Tianshakou, and Ye Xun and I could only go deep into the desert to make plans.
Ye Xun drove the car out of the distance before saying, "Huanzi, what do you say happened to the fox mother this time? Why didn't you even explain the place, so let us go to the desert?"
I muttered, "I think Mother Fox either doesn't want us to confront the Demon Gate, or she has other arrangements. Don't forget, we brought back two hundred breezes. ”
Although I don't want to doubt those breezes, no one can guarantee that these 200 people don't have the secret stake of the gods' hands, maybe the fox mother just noticed something, so she refused to explain.
Tao Xiyu said at this time: "Mother Fox is for your good. There is a saying in the thief door: If you want to find the secret in the sand, first find the mouth of the sky. Legend has it that Tianshakou is the origin of the search for the ancient desert country, and only by basing on a certain position of Tianshakou can it be possible to determine the location of a certain country. ”
Legend has it that there were 36 kingdoms in the Western Regions in ancient times, and all those once prosperous kingdoms were submerged in the long river of history. Those ancient countries that disappeared without a trace are not only Loulan, but Loulan is the most famous.
I wondered, "Do you know Tianshakou?
Tao Xiyu pointed out the window and said: "The thousand-year-old wind and sand in the vast desert, I don't know how many ancient countries and caravans have been buried. It is said that only sixty percent of the merchants who shuttled through the desert could actually reach their destination. Everyone else was buried under the sand. They carried rare treasures, and naturally became funerary goods. ”
"Our Ghostless Sect has been fighting the idea of unjust souls under the Yellow Sand for a long time, and it is also the first Ghostless Sect to discover Tianshakou. ”
Tao Xiyu paused slightly: "That ancestor of the No Ghost Sect, although he was trying his best to hide the secret that Tianshakou could locate the ancient country, he still leaked the news. Before the God Explorer and the Demon Gate could make a move, he was first hunted down by the Ghostless Sect. ”
"The Ghost Sect chased him all the way into the desert, but failed to get his secret. It is said that the man used desert witchcraft to curse before he died: when he walked into Tianshakou, there was no corpse in his life. Walking out of Tianshakou, there is no return. ”
Tao Xiyu stopped at this point, but I asked rhetorically, "Do you believe in curses?"
"Of course not. The No Ghost Sect has never believed in any ghosts and gods, but ......" Tao Xiyu changed his words and said: "The curse of Tianshakou is the only ghost and god theory that the No Ghost Sect believes, and the disciples of the No Ghost Sect who have been to Tianshakou have lost more than ninety percent. ”
I turned my head to look at Tao Xiyu: "That means that there are still people who have succeeded?"
"Listen to me!" Tao Xiyu said, "As far as I know, the four gates of the Ghostless Sect keep four maps to Tianshakou. Each map is different, but each sect persistently believes that the map in their hands is the only correct route. ”
Tao Xiyu said solemnly: "Because, the disciples of the four sects without ghosts have all arrived at Tianshakou according to the map, and less than one percent of the disciples have returned with a full load. ”
I couldn't help frowning: Tao Xiyu's explanation is a bit unreasonable, four different maps can go to Tianshakou, that is not to say, Tianshakou is not one, but four.
I tapped the hilt of the knife lightly and said, "What happened to those people who came back from Tianshakou?"
"Died within a year. Tao Xiyu said: "No matter how high the skill of the people who came back, how many subordinates there are, they have not escaped death." Moreover, there are various ways to die, and some people even die because a toothpick gets stuck in their throat. Therefore, Tianshakou has always been a forbidden place for the Ghost Sect. No one will go there unless they are forced to do so. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "This secret, apart from the Ghost No Sect, how many people still know." ”
Tao Xiyu said: "Everyone knows the secret of Tianshakou, but the curse of Tianshakou is only known best to the Ghostless Sect. ”
Tao Xiyu said: "The Ghostless Sect has always strictly guarded the secret of the curse. If I were not the Little Heavenly King of the Ghostless Sect, I would not have come into contact with the secrets in it. Let's put it this way!"
Tao Xiyu paused and said, "The Ghostless Sect deliberately released the secret of Tianshakou's location, but never said anything about the curse. It also has the meaning of luring the hand of the god and the devil's door to the bait. It's just ......"
Tao Xiyu said with a little doubt: "There are more people who can come back from the desert with the Divine Exploration Hand and the Demon Gate. ”
I asked, "You haven't stalked the Detectives?"
"I've followed!" Tao Xiyu said, "However, none of the disciples of the Ghostless Sect who were in charge of tracking have come back. ”
Ye Xun listened to Tao Xiyu before asking, "You said so much, do you suggest that we go to Tianshakou, or do you plan to stop us?"
Tao Xiyu shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure! I believe in the fox mother, but I also believe in the records of the No Ghost Sect, I really feel a little difficult to judge this matter." ”
Not only is it difficult for Tao Xiyu to judge, but I am also dizzy by what is in front of me.
The fox mother told me to go to Tianshakou, but she didn't tell me the specific route of Tianshakou, and told me to go to Tianshakou to find someone, but she didn't tell me who that person was. What does Mama Fox want me to do?
At that time, I didn't know that the fox mother was also in a dilemma.
Not long after I left the institute, the fox mother drunk herself in the canteen of the institute, and it was not until the bean donkey found her that she looked at the bean donkey drunken and asked, "Do you think I'm crazy?"
Dou Donkey picked up the wine on the table and poured himself a glass: "You deceived Wang Huan?"
