"I was wrong." Gu Tingcheng said loudly in the murmur of the water.

"How?" I asked, turning my head.

"I thought it was the Yellow Flower Society who kidnapped Miss Ming, but it was actually the Northern Emperor's person. If the judgment is wrong, all the means of prevention will be invalid. The Yellow Flower Society and the Northern Emperor are one in the west and the other in the north, and their political demands and styles are very different, and they are very different. Therefore, I blamed myself and felt that the experience I had accumulated in the past was useless, almost zero. If I knew this, I wouldn't have boasted about Haikou in front of Mr. Lei, and single-handedly escorted Miss Ming into the country......" Speaking of this, Gu Qingcheng already had a crying voice in his words.

She used the sound of water from the tap as a cover, just so that I wouldn't find out that she was secretly crying.

I didn't comfort her, but laughed at myself: "If I blame myself for this, then I should blame myself even more." The most outrageous thing is that I gullily believed what Brother Leopard said in the tank gang and thought that they wanted to kidnap you, so I took action to deal with them. Now it seems that the Tank Gang is nothing more than ants, snakes, insects, and toads in Dunhuang City, and it is not worth the effort to clean them up at all. On the contrary, I thought that solving the Tank Gang would eliminate all the disasters and be done, but in fact it did not solve the predicament of you and Miss Ming at all. Well, we have all made mistakes, we have all blamed ourselves, and the most important thing to do now is to listen to all the information left by the hypnotist, and then rush to Mogao Grottoes to dig out the secrets of Cave 112. To err is human? After that, it is very good. Isn't it? ”

In my opinion, no matter how tortuous and rugged the process is, as long as the correct result is obtained in the end, the road ahead and the embarrassment can be ignored.

This is also the true meaning of life obtained after living in Dunhuang in seclusion. If you go a few years earlier, you will definitely pursue a wonderful process and perfect result in any thing, and once you can't achieve your goal, you will always be haunted.

"A little thicker-skinned, a calmer mentality, and a more positive attitude" - these "three points" are all given by the low-key life after leaving Hong Kong Island.

"Yes, now look at the Tank Gang, it's really not worth mentioning, and it's not vulnerable. The thought of the powerful threat of the Great Emperor of the North made my chest suffocate and I couldn't breathe. Thankfully, somebody solved the problem for us...... However, I can also feel that this favor is not so easy to repay. "Gu Qingcheng's self-adjustment ability is excellent, and after a little frustration, he was immediately relieved by my self-deprecation.

On the rivers and lakes, it is easy to repay the money owed to people, and it is difficult to repay the favors owed to others, everyone knows this truth.

During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were several great heroes who stood up to the sky and the earth, but they had to use their life's reputation to repay the favor because they owed others great favors, and finally fell into disrepute and could not die well.

Today, Anonymous killed the hypnotist and helped Gu Qingcheng and me avoid the danger of having to face the Great Emperor of the North. In other days, perhaps we will have to pay the price of belated blood for this favor.

"I still doubt that the Yellow Flower Society." Gu Tingcheng walked over with two cups of gaiwan tea that had been brewed.

"Why?" I asked.

"According to the inside news of the rivers and lakes, the Huanghua Society has always coveted the 'Jinshan Yinhai Jade Palace', saying that a large amount of official treasures from the Republic of China period are hidden in it. According to the insider's explanation, all the big officials of the Republic of China government looted the people, embezzled and took bribes, and as long as the post has the word 'long' at the end, their net worth is at least 1 million oceans. Among them, a man with an active brain and eloquent speech initiated a kind of 'treasure stock', to the effect that his colleagues would mortgage all the treasures hidden in his home to him, and he would keep them, auction them, and discount them, and the cash obtained would buy a large amount of land and apartments in the mainland, Taiwan, and the United States, and ninety percent of all the profits brought by this continuous operation of selling and buying would go to the owner of the treasure, and the remaining one percent would go to the owner. This new trading model is very popular with the family members of the big people, so the big man has obtained a total of more than 700 pieces of cultural relics, antiques and gold and platinum ornaments, according to the market price, its wealth value has exceeded twice the total wealth of the Republic of China at that time, not only rich and rival the country, but also rich and rival the 'two' countries. What is terrible is that when the national army withdrew to Taiwan, the senior official suddenly disappeared with the treasure and disappeared, causing a huge panic among the senior members of the Republic of China government. After the national police system traced it all the way, the senior officer actually changed his disguise, hid in the Mogao Grottoes and disappeared, and the twenty boxes of treasures he was carrying were nowhere to be found......

I bowed slightly, what Gu Tingcheng said was very sensational during the Republic of China, so much so that it alarmed the Nanjing government and the Yan'an government at that time, and both sides sent elite personnel from the special commission to follow up and investigate. You must know that those antiques and curiosities are really heavy weapons that can be exchanged for large piles of gold bars, and in the hands of either side of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, they are a strong gilding of the strength of the regime.

The surname of the member who successfully played this "Immortal Jump" is Du Minglian, and his real name can be checked in the annals of history, so there is no need to deliberately cover it up.

When Du Lian was young, he was a famous little master in the ten-mile foreign field in Shanghai, and he successively followed the three bigwigs in Shanghai, namely Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin, and another Qing gang scheming master Fang Duxiu and became the "Fang Mou Du Duduan" around Huang Jinrong, and compared with Fang and Du You, who were around Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

This person is so young but can come out quickly, and he can't let go of Du Yuesheng's promotion and sponsorship.

Although the two are not of the same clan, they can't write two "Du" characters in one stroke, and they were one family five hundred years ago.

The so-called "twenty boxes of treasures" also had the private money of Huang, Du, and Zhang, so at that time, Du Lian had already become the target of black and white, even if he fled south to Hong Kong and north to the Soviet Union, it was impossible to be alone.

The stakes in this matter are so great that it is said that the US Government has moved its minds and sent a special envoy to Nanjing in an attempt to get a piece of the pie in the name of mediation.

In this case, Du Lian went all the way west to Dunhuang.

His disappearance in the Mogao Grottoes stems from the speculation of the most famous "police dogs" of the Republic of China government, and only God knows the real situation.

"The Yellow Flower Society is just eyeing the treasure?" I don't think it's strange, because it's human. If any huge organization wants to survive for a long time and operate flexibly, it cannot do without a large amount of money. If something can be solved with money, it is certainly not too difficult.

"Yes and no." Gu Tingcheng was a little hesitant, "Many seniors said that it was a very unique spy organization with a lot of ulterior secrets, and it was best not to be an enemy of it, or even not to contact them at all, otherwise it would be a dead end." ”

She seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but I didn't follow up.

Spies and spies are deformed products of political ecology and state power, and their methods of action are beyond the guess of ordinary people. Lei Dongtian also warned me that if there are no political tendencies and political demands, I should never deal with spies and spies of any country, even if the other party gives gifts for no reason.

"What you're worried about is that if the Huanghua Club also makes a move this time, then everyone should take a break as soon as possible, wash and sleep?" I asked.

Gu Tingcheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's what it means." ”

I looked in the direction of the bedroom and smiled.

Gu Qingcheng understood what I meant, slowly lowered his eyebrows, and let out a faint sigh.

If the goal of the Huanghua Club is Ming Shui Sleeve, then it is useless for Gu Qingcheng to hide. The knife is on the neck, and it is either desperately resisting or surrendering to the head, which has become a situation of choosing one of the two and having no choice.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk", someone knocked on the door, very rhythmic, using the "two, three, four" code mode.

Gu Tingcheng walked to open the door, but the door was only opened with a half-foot-wide slit, and the anti-theft chain was still fastened.

"I couldn't find the person who left the message, and the other party called through the public phone at the bus station. The hotel did not pay special attention to us, the registration book was scanned several times, and there were five tourists from the United States, all of whom were men, and their resumes could be checked, which did not match the characteristics of the Yellow Flower Club. The man outside the door whispered.

"Send more people to Cave 112, 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring, and add two sets of data collectors, and the temperature, humidity, and airflow changes in the cave, outside the cave and the entire Mogao Caves must be recorded in detail and a trend map will be drawn." Gu Qingcheng commanded.

The person outside the door immediately agreed, and then asked eagerly, "Well, this ...... Miss, what exactly are we looking for? Everyone is blind and confused. ”

Gu Qingcheng's tone changed, and he commanded coldly: "Do everything I say, my eyes are wide, this is not an ordinary treasure hunt, but a life-threatening matter." ”

The people outside the door were startled, and immediately agreed and left.

As long as you have money, you can hire all kinds of people and work more efficiently. I understand Gu Qingcheng's distress, so no matter what she did in Cave 112 before, I won't mind.

When she walked back to the table, I motioned to her, "Put aside the Yellow Flower Club and continue listening to the recording?" ”

Gu Qingcheng nodded: "Okay, I'm looking forward to the people of the Northern Emperor being able to bring something different." ”

Ming Shui's voice rang out again, this time about an ambush that took place in the wilderness. There are winners and losers in wars, but the winners are not easy and have already paid a terrible price.

"I don't know where so many people came out, all with steel knives in their mouths and bows and arrows in their hands. As soon as he saw him, a small half of General Dian's men fell. He immediately waved the command flag, and commanded the rest of the men to hold the shields in their hands, form an iron bucket formation, and protect me in the center. The ambushers were dressed in tatters, with fierce eyes in their eyes, and kept shouting for us to hand over the gold. The old guide has turned back and joined the ambushers. It turned out that it was the old guide who brought us into the encirclement. General Electric is very calm, although he is young, he has a depth and wisdom that is very different from his age......"

Since ancient times, the poor country has been plagued by bad waters, and I guess these ambushers not only want gold, but also human lives. In this way, General Electric draws his sword and kills the enemy, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

In the war era, there is no distinction between man and beast, which is already a common thing.

These battle processes are not important, the reason why I did not skip them in a "fast-forward" way, but was very interested in the "electric general" that Ming Shuisleeve repeatedly mentioned. Because he is also a person who "disappeared in the Mogao Grottoes", he is different from the Du Lian era who disappeared with twenty boxes of treasures.

General Electric first ordered his men to untie the package from their waists and throw it on the ground, and then the whole team moved eastward, taking thirty steps back. When the ambushers scrambled to grab the package and rummage for the gold ingots, he waved the command flag and led the team to rush and kill, cutting down all the ambushers in an instant. Only, he did not kill the old guide, but took the other party to a crooked-necked tree dozens of steps to the north. Then he came and helped me up. He said that there are some things that one person cannot understand, and two people must listen and think at the same time, and temper each other to gain insight into the truth. I have lost hope for the future, no matter what he says, I just don't care about it. General Electric hung the old guide from a tree, pulled out the short knife in his boots, and said in a cold tone that he would skin the old guide and dig out his heart to pay for his dead brother's life, of course, if the old guide could tell some valuable secrets, he could also redeem his life. In that case, the old guide explained that each cave in Mogao Grottoes has its own special significance, just like the seven orifices of people, each with its own responsibility. General Electric didn't ask about the other caves, and directly mentioned the one with the bouncing pipa mural. The old guide replied that the cave served as a door through which to go to the Western Heaven Elysium. In my opinion, these are just legends, and many Buddhist scriptures have mentioned that Buddhists can soar or become immortals by practicing to a certain extent, and they don't need any portals at all, and the Western Elysium is above thirty-three days, how can it be reached through a door? General Electric seemed to believe the old guide's words, and earnestly asked how the door would open. The old guide shook his head, because he only listened to his grandparents and fathers from generation to generation, if he knew the specific method, he would have stepped into the fairy world a long time ago, and never looked back, but as long as General Dian was willing to spare his life, he was willing to lead us to the Mogao Grottoes, and we would study and understand together. General Electric believed the old guide for the second time, but was deceived for the second time, and the whole team was led by the old guide to the bottom of the northwest valley where the black sandstorm was raging. The black sandstorms in Dunhuang are terrifying, a hundred times sharper than the sandstorms in the desert, and the wind rolls stones in them, as small as a fist and as big as a watermelon. As a result, only General Dian and I made it to the Mogao Grottoes alive, and the rest, including the old guide, all died under the flying stones. We saw the fresco of the bouncing lute, but we couldn't find out where the so-called 'door' was. Undeterred, General Electric vowed to stay here for a long time until the non-existent door was opened. I am already like a wanderer, and I have nowhere to go, so I can only stay here with him. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and a group of people and horses of the traitor Zhang Xianzhong got the news that the general had kidnapped the princess of the dead Ming and defected with a lot of money, and rushed from the south of Dunhuang, marching 800 miles a day and night, and surrounded the Mogao Grottoes. General Electric rushed to kill several times, killing more than 50 enemies, and himself was seriously wounded. The only thing I could do was to wait for him to die. On the last night, he was in a coma and said something I still can't understand......"
