Chapter 356, Devil's City
Chapter 356, Devil's City
This fluttering throat, almost didn't scare Wei Suo into wetting his pants, and reached out to the bedside to pull out the pistol. He will also use secret methods to combine marksmanship, although he is not as good as Jiang Hu and George, but he can be regarded as very good at dealing with ordinary people. But before his hand could be stretched out, he felt a condensed force enveloping him in the air, and the gloomy evil intent hit his whole body with coldness, and the stubble at the fracture was like a stinging pain, but the person couldn't move.
"Wei Suo, hello, I heard that we have been mixing well recently, such a coincidence, we met again" The person outside the window did not speak again, but there was a person in front of the door who seemed to be smiling, only to see You Fang push the door and walk in, followed by Cao Jin with a gloomy face.
Seeing that Wei Suo's accomplice had jumped up from his seat, and then fell to the ground silently, due to the obstruction of his vision, Wei Suo didn't see clearly how You Fang made a move, his mouth couldn't close in surprise, and cold sweat soaked his underwear in an instant. You Fang looked at him and said lightly: "You only need to answer one question, where is An Zuojie?" ”
……
The process of "interrogation" does not need to be described in detail, Wei Suo saw You Fang as if he saw a demon emerging from hell, without any coerced confession, he himself confessed everything - what was going on with this gang, how many members, where were the important strongholds, what illegal transactions were done, how he controlled it after he came to Dunhuang with An Zuojie, what plans An Zuojie had, etc., and said it as happily as pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
After Wei Suo finished explaining, You Fang woke up the unconscious person on the ground again, asked the same question again, and the answer was exactly the same, and then he didn't say anything with a calm face, glanced at Cao Jin, and walked out of the room with his back hand.
"You, you, didn't you promise me......" Wei Suo saw that You Fang had gone out, and Cao Jin had already walked to the bed with a calm face, realizing that something was wrong, and shouted at You Fang in horror.
You Fang replied without looking back: "I promised to let you go, not only to let you go, but also to give you a chance to get a huge sum of money to enjoy the rest of your life, but how do you do it?" If you are evil, even if I don't kill you, can't anyone else settle the score? …… Lao Cao, after all, I owe this guy a favor, I will personally choose a cemetery for him and bury him well, you give me a face, and leave him a whole corpse."
The phrase "leave him a whole corpse" is like the most eerie nightmare in hell, Wei Suo wanted to jump up from the bed and make a final struggle despite the plaster cast on his body, but he felt a sharp pain of tearing. Cao Jin had already waved his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, the solidified plaster was shattered, and the bones that had been connected were broken again. The pain was indescribable, but Wei Suo couldn't scream because Cao Jin's other hand was already holding his throat......
Inserting a period of aftermath, you dialect and faith, he really personally selected a cemetery for Wei Suo, the funeral and all the ceremonies were grandly organized, and he also invited a group of monks and Taoists to blow and blow and do three days of rituals, which can be regarded as a beautiful funeral. A generation of earth qi masters, not an ordinary feng shui gentleman who walks the rivers and lakes to eat, can let You Fang personally pick the yin house and bury it, this Wei lock can be regarded as the obscenity of life and the grandeur of death.
The three of them went out at night, and it was easy to clean up a Wei Suo, but according to Wei Suo's confession, the members of this gang were complex, the personnel were highly mobile, and the locations were scattered, and there were weapons in their hands. If there are too few people, it is very troublesome to clean them up one by one, and the focus of the tour side is to take An Zuojie, and it is impossible to slowly clean up and startle the snake.
He informed Han Zhizi and others to rush to Dunhuang to help, and eradicate this gang as quickly as possible. Hua Youxian stayed in Dunhuang to meet these people and exchange news with the tour party at any time.
Cao Jin was resolutely sent home by You Fang, and he didn't need to interfere in the rest of the things, just as if nothing had happened, this old Jianghu who had decided to retire from his wandering career naturally knew what to do. Cao Jin only needs to live well as Zeng Zhaoguo in the future, take good care of his company, and take good care of Sun Mingqin's mother and daughter. And the troubles left by Wanwei have disappeared silently, like the huge wealth that is unknown.
You Fang drove Cao Jin's car out of Dunhuang alone, headed to Lop Nur in the northwest, left the road in the desolate desert, and marched towards the endless Gobi Desert. It doesn't matter if there is a road on the Gobi Desert, you don't even need to pay attention to the direction, you can drive casually on the undulating slopes, just be careful to bypass the larger gravel.
Leaving Dunhuang, the scenery on the outskirts immediately becomes desolate, and when you go out of the city, you can still see sparse grasslands on the edge of the Danghe Oasis, with clumps of white grass growing. Further afield are the dunes, occasionally a light shade of green, with low grass outcrops but deep roots.
By the time you get off the highway and cross the sand to the northwest, and enter the edge of Lop Nur, there is no green in this area, and occasionally you can only see the dead trees of unknown age in the low-lying areas, the branches stretching into the sky like ancient fossils, and the depression under the roots of the trees is like salt frost, reflecting a whitening luster in the rising sun.
The performance of the off-road vehicle that Cao Jin gave to You Fang is really good, and the handling of such bumpy terrain is still very good, and you can run happily. Cao Jin's gratitude to You Fang can be imagined, and when he sent the car over early in the morning, he asked how to thank him? You Fang only smiled and replied that if he had the opportunity to pass by Dunhuang in the future, he could just invite him to a drink.
You Fang inexplicably remembered Master Liu Li again. The old man's life can be described as a dragon that sees the beginning but not the end, and when You Fang sees him, he is basically alone, and he never seems to have any helpers. But there are a lot of ambushes for the old man, not to mention the kind of generosity of the Hong Kong Xiao Group, and when he finally dealt with Tang Chaoshang, no one thought that Lang Jisheng, the elder of the Diezhang faction, would serve Liu Li for his own defilement, and in Tongjiang, He Yu, the owner of Calm Villa, was also willing to try his best to assist Liu Li's master and apprentice, and he didn't ask anything.
Liu Li has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes in the past hundred years, and there are naturally a lot of righteous deeds, but outsiders don't know that this old man is the capital of the world. If he asks Cao Jin for help in this area in the future, Cao Jin will not refuse, this is the feng shui he created in the world.
Thinking so, the road ahead was impassable, covered with smash the size of a football, and an undulating mound and rocky bush appeared in the distance. It was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, the season was the height of summer, and I still felt a little cool when I set off from Dunhuang, but now as the sun rises on the Gobi Desert, the surroundings are gradually becoming hot.
The crushed earth and the gravel of the mountains reflect the light of white flowers, and they also have a reddish color, which is very dazzling, and if you look around for a while, you will feel that the light and shadow are messy. No one would come to such a place at this time, and further on it would be Devil's Town.
The so-called Devil's City is a region on the edge of Lop Nur, with a radius of 100 miles, and the topography is very special, like a stone forest but not a stone forest, and there are mounds and stone mountains of different shapes standing everywhere, like a castle but not a castle. These eerie and rough "castles" are full of holes and caverns, and the occasional remnants of ancient human activity can be found in hidden places.
There should have been water here many years ago, and some of the ravines obviously still have the remains of water erosion, and more like "castles", which are obviously full of traces of erosion by wind and sand. There was a desolate silence all around, with little color but a light reddish-brown patch. But walking in it is not so quiet, and there always seems to be a hallucinatory sound in the ears, and there is no wind in the near distance, but in the distance it seems that there is wind passing through the earth and rocks.
The ethereal sound of the wind is like a song, like a cry, like a cry, like a wild beast's long howl, like an unknown whimper, in this strange and uninhabited desolate place, it invisibly makes people feel Ge**sen. In stark contrast to the gloom is the heat reflection of the scorching, dry sunlight, which seems to dry the water in the body in a short period of time, and if you don't wear goggles, you may burn your eyes if you don't wear goggles.
The depths of Devil's Town are simply the most complex labyrinth in the world, and between the large and small sandstone "castles", there are countless forks in the road that do not know where to go. Nearby rocks may contain a lot of iron or have small iron ore in the distribution, and the magnetic needle of the compass will jump around here.
You Fang didn't bring a map or a compass, and in the scorching air, he wore a hat and a long black trench coat. He didn't wear goggles, he walked in this labyrinthine terrain, he didn't even open his eyes, he walked through the sun with his eyes closed, and only sensed the changes in the earth qi spirit with his divine thoughts, and all the scenery around him was reflected very clearly in the primordial spirit.
You Fang came to find An Zuojie, but Wei Suo and the others didn't know An Zuojie's exact hiding place, only that he was in retreat and practicing the secret method in the Devil's City. It was naturally impossible for You Fang to know where An Zuojie was, the labyrinthine Devil's City, which was not suitable for ordinary people to stay at all, became the best hiding place, so he simply entered with his eyes closed.
An Zuojie is in retreat, and choosing to retreat at this time and place can only mean two things: first, his secret cultivation realm has reached a certain point, and he may have some understanding and face a breakthrough; The second is that the earth qi spirit in this area of the devil city has been particularly helpful to the secret method he has cultivated recently, whether it is the secret method of non-rushing evil or the illusion array, it must be condensed with the help of the most unique, typical, and pure earth qi environment here.
Then when you enter the Devil's City, what you are looking for is that this kind of place seems to have no clues, but there are always natural traces of the mystery between heaven and earth.
You Fang also had a very important clue, and even Wei Suo, who provided the clue, didn't realize it. According to Wei Suo's confession, An Zuojie was in retreat in the Devil's City during this time, but he didn't tell anyone to point accurately, every time he recruited his subordinates, he walked to the edge of the Devil's City and notified his subordinates to rush to the designated place, ask about the situation, give orders, and ask people to send some things he needs.
But if there was no water in the things he asked his subordinates to send to the Devil's City, no matter how great An Zuojie's ability was, it would be impossible for him to stay in the Devil's City for a long time. That can only mean one thing, there is a water source near the retreat site of Anzoj. In the depths of the desolate devil's city in the Gobi Desert, there is a water source, which is somewhat incredible, and this is an important clue for the tour party to find.
You Fang closed his eyes and sensed his divine thoughts, looking for the most pure place of the Earth Qi Spirit Hub in the Devil City, and at the same time summoned the sword spirit Qin Yu. His sword intent spirituality has been refined by pure yang water, and he can sense the moist aura of the water source, even if it is very weak, he can't escape the subtle divine thoughts.
Qin Yu was dressed in a fiery red sleeveless dress, his figure was so hot and sexy, but his expression was extremely cold, and he walked in the depths of the Gobi with Youfang. They seemed to walk unhurriedly, but their feet were extremely fast, and they had already penetrated into the heart of Devil's City in one day.
……
When another night passed, in the private room of a large hotel in Dunhuang, there was a group of people who had dinner together early in the morning, and the table was full of local specialties. Long Yujie said to Han Zhizi: "Gu Jianliang, Niu Jinquan, and Yang Yicheng sent a message back and asked what to do with that group of scum?" Not only did they take down a group of people, but they also found guns, cash, and drugs in several places. ”
Han Zhizi turned his head and asked Zhang Xi: "Head Xunluan, you are the military advisor in our group, what do you think is more appropriate?" ”
Zhang Xi replied: "We don't need to clean up these messes, let's do the same as Jingdezhen, notify the police, this can be regarded as a stolen goods, this gang is completely turned out, and no one can escape." Then he said in a tone that was not without self-deprecation: "We people, why did we come to make a cameo appearance in the work of the six doors?" Mr. Rand entered Lop Nur alone to chase An Zuojie, should he rush to answer as soon as possible? ”
Han Zhizi smiled without saying a word, and Shen Shenyi on the side asked: "Uncle Han, we didn't catch this person in our two attacks on An Zuojie's lair, and now that we know that he is hiding in the Devil's City, and Mr. Rand is looking for him alone, why aren't you in a hurry?" ”
Han Zhizi then explained with a smile: "Today is different from the previous two situations, Mr. Rand personally chased and killed An Zuojie, and traveled thousands of miles all the way to Lop Nur. Now that he has not disclosed his identity on the rivers and lakes, a generation of Earth Qi Grandmasters should use this to establish his authority, why should we old guys steal this limelight? Young people have grown up, and we can have this getaway today, isn't it because we can rest assured that the children at home? ”
Speaking of this, the elder paused in his tone, looked around at everyone present, and then said: "We gathered the elders of various factions, and we failed to arrest An Zuojie twice, and it is inevitable that we will be a little embarrassed on our face, but if we finally succeed in killing An Zuojie with Mr. Rand to eradicate the remnants of Wuchong, it will be considered worthwhile, so why bother with that little bit of fame?" …… Pick it up, of course you have to go, wait for Gu Jianliang and they to come back and set off, you don't have to kill An Zuojie before Mr. Rand, but to prevent this person from escaping again, it is best to be able to plunder and cheer during the fierce battle, Mr. Rand can naturally handle it"
When it was close to noon, Gu Jianliang, Yang Yicheng, and Niu Jinquan also rushed back, and 13 leaders of various factions of Fengmen gathered again, these people had their own various relationships, hired a minibus in the local area, and the head of the sand elimination faction, Cangxiao, was the driver, and also drove to Lop Nur in the far suburbs of Dunhuang.
After noon, the car stopped on the side of the desolate road, and Niu Jinquan pointed to the distance and said, "This should be the direction to the Devil's City, we are going to leave the road." Shen Shenyi pointed to the side of the road and said: "There are tire prints there, someone drove to the Gobi, the traces seem to be from yesterday, and it is likely that Mr. Rand left them." ”
The minibus is not comparable to the off-road vehicle driven by Youfang, and it cannot climb over the sand dunes, and everyone is about to get off the bus and walk, but several masters with the highest cultivation, the deepest skills, and the most acute thoughts suddenly change their expressions slightly, look up at the sky and frown. Niu Yuepo whispered: "Everyone, and restrain your spirits, I feel carefully, and the earth qi is turbulent." ”
Han Zhizi said: "The sky is different"
Gu Jianliang looked at the sky in the distance and said: "There is a sandstorm, it came so suddenly, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up." ”
The weather in the desert changes so fast, just now it was still hot and windless, but at this moment there is a hot air flow brushing his cheeks, like an invisible tongue of fire licking, but gradually there is a trace of coolness. At the end of the undulating sand dunes, a faint yellow-brown mist appeared on the horizon in the distance, and soon rose higher and higher, like a curtain covering the sky, and the direction of the sandstorm was Devil's City, which erupted extremely violently.
Everyone's faces changed, no matter how great their ability was, it was impossible for them to travel freely in the most violent Gobi dust storm between heaven and earth, let alone search for the location of Melander and An Zuojie in the area of Devil's City. The turbulence of the earth's qi sensed in the divine consciousness and divine thoughts can understand how fierce the wind and sand are in the distance, let alone walking, I am afraid that even the train will not be able to pass safely. Even if the travelers leave a secret mark along the way, this sandstorm will wipe out all traces.
Han Zhizi and others rushed to the Devil's City to respond, but they were blocked by a sandstorm rising in the distance on the outskirts of Dunhuang, and You Fang was at the center of the most violent sandstorm he had ever encountered in his life.
……
At dusk the day before, you walked into the heart of Devil's Town. When the sun sets, the wind rises, and the wind senses the sky with divine thoughts, and this wind must be blowing from the northwest. But the wind in Devil's Town couldn't see the direction, and it swirled between the "castles" and flew around. The strange thing is that although there are many strange rocks, there is no shelter on the road, there is wind in almost every corner, and every road is a canyon area between the "castles", and the place close to the ground has become the most violent outlet.
When the sun sets when the wind rises, the heat in the air seems to be quickly taken away, and the temperature drops quickly. You Fang was already close to the purest place of the Earth Qi Spiritual Hub in this area, and the physical exertion of this day's journey was not small, so he had always acted cautiously, so he found a deep cave in a nearby stone castle, and hid in it to avoid the wind and meditate and breathe for the night.
When the morning glow had just risen the next day, You Fang continued to set off with his bags on his back, and at this time the wind had gradually stopped, and the devil's city was very quiet, the sky was not yet completely bright, and the scenery on all sides looked like huge monsters with shadows. He walked in the shadows of the rocks, his steps were silent and silent, and his physical strength and energy had returned to their peak state.
He walked the winding path between two huge dirt and rocky hills, and the walls of the mountains still had traces of ancient water creatures, which should have been under the water long ago. The hills on both sides are getting higher and higher, but in fact, the terrain is getting lower and lower at the feet of the Yufang. Yuan Shen heard Qin Yu's voice, and found the breath of the water source not far ahead, about a few hundred meters away.
……
There is a water source in the Devil's City, it is in the middle of a huge horseshoe-shaped stone mountain, where there is no sunlight, and it is also a place where the wind and sand cannot blow, and the spring in the ground forms a small pool, the breath is very clear, and the mountain separated by a hundred meters is completely another world.
The place of An Zuojie's retreat is in the cave above the waterhole, and he chose to retreat at this time, on the one hand, because he felt very safe, and he had already hidden in the devil's city of Lop Nur, who could find him again? It will take time for the newly controlled gangs to get to grips with it, and it will need to be well arranged along the way out of Central Asia.
On the other hand, the more important reason is that his secret method cultivation has indeed reached a threshold, and his experience in China over the past year or so has made up for many insights that he could not have obtained in the United States before, and many of the mysteries that he could not comprehend in the Secret of Rushing Transformation have gradually become clear, and after a series of thrilling encounters, he needs to retreat and meditate.
The desert Gobi seems to be endless and peaceful, but it is full of the sinister of death, and the Devil's City is like the most unpredictable labyrinth in the world, this environment not only happens to fit his state of mind, but also the best place for him to cultivate the illusion array to the next level, and now the illusion is no longer as miserable as before, but mysterious and desolate and lonely.
Every morning when the sun rises, An Zuojie has to go to the open area outside the mountain to collect grounded qi and condense the original spirit. However, as soon as he walked outside the horseshoe-shaped valley mouth today, the rising morning glow would shine the shadows over the mountain on the tip of his nose and toes, and his figure suddenly stopped, his pupils were contracting, and he stared at the opposite valley mouth.
In front of An Zuojie was the lowest place in the center of Devil's City, and it was also the largest open area in the area, and the ground was full of fist-sized gravel, and there was no grass. More than 30 meters away, in the valley road between the two "castles", there happened to be a person who happened to come out, and it was the ghostly Melander. No one expected that these two people would encounter each other suddenly under such a situation
You Fang also saw An Zuojie almost at the same time and stopped. Both of them stood at the mouth of the valley under the cover of the mountain, in the middle of which was an open field strewn with gravel. With this kind of terrain and this distance, neither of these two masters can launch a sudden sneak attack, and it is destined to be a hard-fought head-on battle.
For a long time, neither of them spoke or moved, staring at each other from a distance. The sun was rising higher and higher in the open space between them, and the gravel began to reflect a dazzling light, and the air was almost frozen with tension, as if countless invisible sparks were jumping, rubbing, and exploding.
