The night is especially short for Gu Xiu, but especially long for those who have suffered a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, One-Eye had already completed the task assigned by Gu Xiu, and after staying up all night, he made a lot of soul suppression nails for Gu Xiu. The soul-calming nail forged by One-Eye was more detailed than that made by ordinary blacksmiths, which made Gu Xiu look at it with admiration.

After the sharp weapon of punishing people is completed, the next step is to find the target of punishment......

Gu Xiu fed Ah Hong the antidote, and although the pain in Ah Hong's body collapsed, he had no strength because of a night of tossing. Gu Xiu asked him about the ancient tomb, but Ah Hong, like Niti, didn't know about the existence of the ancient tomb at all, which made Gu Xiu very confused, he believed that the Gu worm and the poison he put on Ah Hong would definitely make them tell the truth, but if they were telling the truth, then could it be that there was really no ancient tomb in this land?

He asked You Hua and Master Qin, both of them were very sure of the source of the Piercing Tomb Gate, which made Gu Xiu's heart anxious, after thinking about it, he thought that he was going to find the fleeing Loulan people to take revenge anyway, it was better to arrest everyone and ask one by one, there would always be someone who knew about the existence of the ancient tomb.

With this thought, the hope that had been annihilated in his heart was rekindled. He persecuted Ah Hong and asked him where his compatriots had fled, and Ah Hong refused to say anything at first, but as soon as the poison attacked, he could not stand the fierce medicine, so he had to tell the tribesmen the direction in which they had fled.

In the fleeing team of Loulan, there were old and weak women and children, which made Gu Xiu believe that they had not run far, and he believed that they would be able to catch up with the footsteps of their Han army.

He let the awakened Ah Hong and the walking corpse Chijia lead the way, walking the convenient path through the forest, and after leaving the terrifying jungle, the Han army returned to the desert that made them desperate. Some people were tired, but because of Gu Xiu's constant urging, they had to get up and continue on their way.

The desert obscured people's tracks, made people disoriented, and people collapsed to a precious water source. There were vines and reeds growing on the edge of the water source, and when the Han soldiers saw the water, they were like wild horses on the loose, and they ran over hungrily and poured sweetness into their mouths.

It has become a resting place for Gu Xiu's people, they must nourish their spirits in order to move forward, and during this time, they have not been able to eat and wear, it is rare to see such a angry place, Gu Xiu asked Dai Ze and Huo Meng, who were still in good spirits, to look for food, and he himself planned to take a look around here.

In the evening, the golden sunlight slowly turned orange and red, Gu Xiu returned to the Han army's resting place, because he was cautious, so the Han army's rest point was arranged in the reeds, and he told the Han army not to speak unscrupulously, and to be careful.

At that time, Huo Meng and Dai Ze had not yet returned, Gu Xiu had waited for a long time, and the two of them were late, with a few wild birds in their hands and some fish that had already been grilled.

This made Gu Xiu particularly confused, and he asked, "You don't have bows and arrows on you, how did you shoot these birds?" and how did you bake the fish before you came, it should have been a little time since the fish was roasted." ”

Huo Meng sat cross-legged and replied, "Brother Gu, let me tell you, we see ...... Seeing the Loulan people, these things are all left over from them. ”

"What!" Gu Xiu frowned suddenly: "What about them?"

Dai Ze looked at Gu Xiu carefully, and then said, "Disappeared......"

"Then why didn't you report earlier?" there was obvious reproach in Gu Xiu's tone.

Huo Meng saw that there was anger in Gu Xiu's expression, and hurriedly explained: "We also wanted to report earlier, but Brother Dai and I didn't find anything to eat along the way, so we walked a long way, the place where those people were was was an adobe mound, and we covered our bodies with a few grasses, for fear of being exposed, so we were lying on our stomachs the whole time, and we didn't dare to move, because among them, there was the short man we saw by the stream at that time, he was still wearing a mask, but some other people revealed their true colors, there were prime people, there were children, and those children participated in the killing." ”

Dai Ze nodded and continued: "Gu Zhangshi, to be honest, I have seen the power of the short man in the mask, and I know that if we are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I can only stay still and wait for the time to come back and report to you." It's just that we waited for a long time, and we saw a lot of people suddenly kneeling in front of the short man, and we thought it would be a good time to come back and tell you about their whereabouts, but something happened very suddenly. ”

Gu Xiu didn't answer, but waited for them to continue with confusion, Dai Ze and Huo Meng glanced at each other, and it was still Dai Ze who spoke: "We found that the short man took out a thing, which is the human bone and the purple gold centipede used for divination in the Western Regions, all the Loulan people probed to see the result, the result was obviously not good, the expression of the Loulan people was very heavy, but we couldn't see the expression wearing the mask, just after we finished watching this scene, suddenly, the person wearing the mask looked at us." Dai Ze probably thought of the nervousness at that time, and a trace of trepidation appeared on his face.

Huo Meng took over the words: "Brother Gu, you don't know, that person's mask looks so weird, it seems to be smiling but not smiling, like a demon, the eyebrows and eyes are curved, raised, the nose is very big, the mouth is also laughing, the smile is very evil, I thought he found us, almost called out, thanks to Brother Dai pressed my head down, I didn't expose it." However, when we mustered up the courage to look up again, the group of Loulan people who were still there just now were inexplicably gone, and they were like ghosts, floating away in an instant......"

When Gu Xiu and the Han soldiers heard this, they all gasped, and Dai Ze said: "Although the person in front of the adobe disappeared in an instant, because the incident happened very weird and terrifying, Brother Huo and I didn't dare to act rashly, and we were still lying there." After lying on our stomachs for a long time, we saw that there was indeed no movement down there, so we dared to go down and take a look. There were scattered things on the ground, and some food, and we had the courage to search the adobe heap carefully, but there was not a single ghost, and we don't know how they had disappeared......

Huo Meng nodded vigorously, took a bite of the grilled fish, and then said casually: "I wonder, do you say they are humans or ghosts?

Hearing Huo Meng's words, the faces of the Han soldiers changed, this thing is indeed a bit strange, Gu Xiu couldn't think of an accurate answer in his heart, but at this time he didn't want to shake the army's heart, so he said coldly: "When you see those people, it's still daytime, can you still hit ghosts in broad daylight?" I think there must be something strange in this." ”

Dai Ze frowned and said: "It's true that the ghost is exaggerated, but it's really strange, that place is a gravel place, not as good as soft sand, as soon as the wind blows, the footprints are covered, if it is a person, it will leave shallow footprints, but without footprints, they really disappear out of thin air." ”

When Gu Xiu heard this, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly, he thought of something, and a happy expression appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Perhaps, there is such a possibility." ”
