The old man said, and touched his arms again, as if he wanted to take something out, but after hesitating, he still didn't take it out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Daoist? What Taoist? How does he know where we're going? Chubby couldn't wait to ask.

The old man shook his head: "I don't know how he knows where you are going, I was in the store that day, the Taoist priest stepped in, in this far area, I have never seen a Taoist priest, I was also very curious at the time." I originally thought that he was here to buy something, but who knew that he seemed to know me, and told me something about my brother after he was taken away by that gang for more than seven years, and then told me that some strangers would come to this village recently, and they were going to look for the ancient city of the sun, and they didn't know anything about the situation in the desert, so they asked me to be a guide for these strangers, and the Taoist priest later said that these people would destroy my sister-in-law's body and remove the disaster in the village, which could be regarded as helping me and my brother to get rid of that sin. ”

"Did he say where he came from? Why would you like to be our guide as he says? "I wonder how this Taoist priest knows everything about us like an unpredictable prophet, and how did he know that we were coming to this place when we had just gone to the school in Jinsong a little more than a month ago and got the Loulan handscroll? And even then I knew that we had been killed by a corpse locust, and I thought there must be something strange about it.

"He didn't say where he was, but he told me that I had to do what he said because he knew the secret that my brother told me if I didn't do what he said. It is against the will of God, and the things in this secret will happen. ”

Xiao Pang was about to die when he heard this, and he slammed his palm: "Don't sell it here." What is the secret of directly fishing? ”

I also want to know what the old man's secret is, and maybe I can learn the origin of the matter from this secret.

But the old man pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I can't tell you this secret yet. ”

When Chubby and I heard this, we were both deflated, but Chubby was unwilling and insisted on letting the old man tell the secret. But the old man didn't say whether he was alive or dead, I looked at Chubby and looked like a scoundrel, so I secretly tugged Chubby's trouser leg. gave Chubby a look, and Chubby really couldn't ask, so he had to give up.

"Then how do you know that we are the strangers that the Taoist priest said?" I asked.

"Because the Taoist priest showed me a photograph that I must remember the appearance of the person in the photo. said that the person in the photo is called Guo Xiangdong. The old man said. looked at me.

As soon as I heard it, I was contacted again, and I said that my "fan group" is really powerful, even Taoist priests, who am I recruiting to provoke whom.

The old man continued: "Actually, as soon as you enter my shop, I know that you are the people the Taoist priest said, although the Taoist priest told me that it is against the will of heaven not to take you to the Sun Ancient City, and what is said in that secret will happen." But when I was younger, I had a terrible experience at Sun Hill, and I still wanted to avoid it. So I deliberately pretended not to know you, but who knew that the Taoist priest said that you would destroy my sister-in-law's corpse, and these things that eliminated the corpse locusts were really exactly the same as what he said, it seems that all this is indeed the will of heaven, and what should come is always coming, and hiding is not avoidable, so I can only accept my fate, even if I am afraid, I can only take you to the ancient city of the sun. Fortunately, I am alone, I have nothing to worry about, even if something happens, it will be considered as atonement for the sins committed by my brother and me. ”

"Don't be so miserable, you make it like the five heroes of Langya Mountain, as if there is no return, with me, to ensure that you are not in danger, you just need to lead the way for us with peace of mind." Chubby said.

But the old man shook his head, touched the thing in his arms again, and sighed.

I just wanted to comfort the old man with the goatee, "Drip, drip" The phone in my pocket rang.

I didn't expect that there was still a mobile phone signal in this kind of place, I looked at my phone when I was on the road before, and there was no signal at that time, I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that it was a new message.

I opened the text message and it was filled with just a few words: "It's in the midst of you." ”

Seeing this text message, I couldn't help but shiver, before the last time I went to Tiangang's tomb with Cheng Jiao, I also received a text message when I was in Xi'an, which was these words, and the text message showed that it was sent by Xiaopang's mobile phone that was "dead" at that time, and later learned that Xiaopang's mobile phone had been lost a long time ago, and that text message was not sent by him. I hurriedly took a look at the sender, and this time this text message was even stranger, it didn't show the sender, and the sender's place was blank.

Who exactly sent this text message? What does it mean to say "it is among you"? The blackboard in the classroom of the 771 factory also reads, "It's coming, run!" What exactly is this "it"? Could this "it" refer to a person? But the last time I received this text message in Xi'an, there were Wu Lan, Hu Qi, Cheng Jiao, Tang Ying, Da Mao and Ermao, but this time it was Xiao Pang, Zhang Meng, Lao Zhang, Uncle Hai, Xiangzi and Amei, this time and in Xi'an are completely different people, it can't be that this "it" refers to two people, right? Or does this "it" refer to something else? What exactly is this text message trying to remind me?

Although I can't guess the mystery, I vaguely feel a kind of ominousness, because every time this "it" appears, people will die, the five corpses in the sewers of the 771 factory, the innocent people who died in the explosion, the mysterious archaeological team in the Tiangang tomb that encountered the ghost mother and the baby turned into zombies, those who look exactly like my name, and Da Mao and Tang Ying...... I don't dare, and I don't want to think about it anymore.

I closed the text and put my phone back in my pocket. Chubby asked the old man with the goatee some things, but no matter how he asked, the old man with the goatee didn't want to say anything else, just said that he could take us into the desert and be our guide, it was not early today, and the old man said that although he was alone, he also had to take care of the things in the store and make some preparations. Let's go back first, tomorrow he will take us to a place called "Melon Market", more than 70 miles from here, to buy supplies from the desert, which is said to be the largest market in the vicinity. As long as we have money, we can buy all kinds of necessary materials, even camels, and Chubby and I are very happy to hear this, this is exactly what we need, and now we have a guide, and then we can buy supplies. We can head to the ancient city of the sun deep in the desert.

Make an appointment with the old man to meet in the west of the village tomorrow morning, go to the melon collection to buy supplies first, and then you can enter the desert. Chubby and I said goodbye to the old man with the goatee and left the store.

After leaving the store, on the way, I curiously asked Xiaopang how he knew that this old man with a goatee was the younger brother of Su Ziwen, a corpse keeper outside the plug. Did he know this old man?

Chubby sold off at first. Saying that he was originally Zhuge Wuhou, he knew astronomy, geography, and the universe, and he hid his sleeves, pinched his fingers, and calculated that this old man was Su Ziwen's younger brother, I joked: "Master." I didn't see it, at first I thought you were the second senior brother. Zhuge Wuhou was so smart when he was alive, why didn't he calculate that he had changed his appearance after being reincarnated, and it was a miscalculation to be like you. ”

I was poor for a while, and I couldn't stand my repeated questioning, and Chubby finally told the reason. It turned out that when he was wandering around the old man's shop with a goatee just now, he picked up the watch that the old man put on the counter and looked at it, and found that there were three words written on the watch belt, which was written "Su Ziwu", after seeing these three words, he suddenly remembered the lines of "Su Ziwen" on the body of the corpse locust, it is said that the corpse keeper has a way to mark the corpse locusts and corpse cockroaches he raises, indicating that this is the corpse locusts or corpse cockroaches raised by himself, and also control the corpse locusts and corpse cockroaches through the marking, he guessed from the name, "Su Ziwu" and the owner of those corpse locusts"Su Ziwen" must have something to do with it, so he said, "I saw Su Ziwen", but I didn't expect this explosion to really blow up the truth about the old man. In addition, from the time he first met this old man, he found that this old man was too cold to us, and seemed to want to avoid us, but he didn't want to show it, so he felt that there was something in it, and sure enough.

I admire Chubby's observation and analysis skills, he is a person who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, if it were me and Zhang Meng, I would definitely not think of these, this is the preciousness of Chubby, the reason why he can turn danger into danger every time, and his meticulous observation and diligent analysis and thinking are not unrelated, although he often says that he is a lucky general, Jiren has his own natural appearance, but in fact, it is not just luck.

Xiaopang and I returned to the house, saw Zhang Meng and Uncle Hai, and told everyone that the old man with a goatee, Su Ziwu, was willing to be our guide, and everyone was very happy. Everyone came to the spirits, had dinner, packed their things, and prepared to leave tomorrow.

I was packing my things, and I saw Chubby frowning and rummaging through his bag, as if he was in a hurry, not knowing what he was looking for.

"Chubby, what are you looking for?" I asked.

"Huh? Where did the Loulan handscroll go? Chubby said as he rummaged through his bag.

"Damn, fat guy, you're not going to lose your hand, are you? The party and the people of the whole country believe in you so much that they have entrusted you with things that have a bearing on the life and death of the masses of the people for safekeeping, and you, you, you have lost them. Zhang Meng said on the side.

Everyone heard that Loulan's handscroll couldn't be found, so they all came over and helped Xiaopang rummage together, but they searched through Xiaopang's bag and luggage, and they didn't find Loulan's handscroll.

Since we came out of Beijing, the Loulan handscroll has been kept by Xiaopang, on the one hand, because Xiaopang's skills are better, after the civil air defense project in Jinsong School, Yuan Tieyi seized the Loulan handscroll, we realized that other people are also interested in this thing, and Xiaopang keeps it at ease. On the other hand, although this Loulan handscroll is an imitation, it is said to be made of South American baboon skin, but it looks very much like human skin, and we are a little panicked when we hold it, Xiaopang doesn't care about this.

"It's really hairless and can't do things firmly, young man, short practice, I knew this, my Uncle Hai will keep it for you, you see, now it's easy to have a guide, you lost your handscroll again, what do you say?" Uncle Hai complained on the side.

"Yes, you have failed the trust of the party and the people, what crime should you be guilty of?" Zhang Meng was also beating a side drum on the side.

Xiaopang knew that he was wrong, and he didn't refute it, but just said to himself: "It's impossible, I look at it every day, and I will never lose it on the road, is it stolen?" ”

Hearing Xiaopang say this, I suddenly remembered that we met Wu Lan in the karez, and Wu Lan, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared here inexplicably, could it be that he stole the Loulan handscroll? But think about it, according to what I know about Wu Lan, he shouldn't do this kind of thing, but if it weren't for him, there would be no one else here except us, who took the Loulan handscroll? Wu Lan's behavior is very strange, sometimes he is helping us, but sometimes some things are incomprehensible, such as Wu Lan's strange behavior in the video of the Kunlun Hotel, so the possibility of him stealing Loulan's handscroll cannot be ruled out. I remembered again, when I was in the village before, Zhang Meng said that he seemed to see a familiar figure, who was that figure? Could it be that this person stole the Loulan handscroll? What was the purpose of the person who stole the Loulan handscroll?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xiangzi on the side suddenly said: "It's okay, don't look for it, I have a way." (To be continued.) )
