Tang Yudao didn't climb long before leaving the cave that could only accommodate one person, and came to an underground hall with a width of 100 meters, he stood at the entrance of the cave with a torch, first observed the ground in front of him, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, he slowly stepped forward, came to the middle of the hall, and held a torch high to observe.

"Covering?" Tang Yudao looked at the stone table, stone bench and stone bed in the hall, and walked to a grass hut similar to a stable with a horse trough next to it, took down a piece of hay, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said to himself, "Is it really a sentry?" It's weird and unheard of. ”

Tang Yudao said, glanced towards the entrance of the cave, and found that Xing Renju still hadn't come in, he immediately returned to the entrance of the cave and shouted outside: "Master Xing, it's safe inside, you come in." ”

"Okay—" Xing Renju's voice came from outside, and after Tang Yudao heard the response, he turned around and walked slowly along the wall of the hall, looking at the marks on the wall that the Mongolian soldiers had drawn with their weapons, speculating about what had happened here.

After a long time, Tang Yudao returned to the entrance of the cave, because Xing Renju still did not come in, he had to lie down at the entrance of the cave and continue to shout outside, but this shouting made Tang Yudao frightened, because he heard that his voice could no longer come out of the cave, but collided in it, and finally bounced back - it was obvious that the entrance to the cave outside had been sealed.

There is no doubt that this person can only be a criminal benevolence.

"Master Punishment! Torture Master! Why did you plug the hole? Tang Yudao lay at the entrance of the cave and shouted desperately, "Master Xing, why are you doing this? We have no grievances and no hatred, Master Punishment! Feed! Torture Master! ”

After shouting for a long time, just when Tang Yudao felt that he was a little crying for lack of oxygen and his head began to be confused, he suddenly realized that there was something behind him, and when he was a soldier, he immediately pulled out the Mauser pistol on his waist, turned around and aimed, but was taken aback at the moment when he saw the person behind him clearly.

Because the person standing behind Tang Yudao was none other than Xing Renju, who should have been outside the cave.

"Punishment ...... Torture Master? Tang Yudao looked at Xing Renju with a smile on his face in surprise, but the Mauser pistol in his hand was not put down, he even suspected that the person in front of him was not Xing Renju at all, but the appearance of the demon on the grassland.

Xing Renju leaned over and lit the torch in his hand with a match: "You are quite bold, if I let you in, you will come in, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Tang Yudao put down the gun in his hand: "I was not afraid at first, but then I found that the entrance to the cave was blocked, so I was afraid, and now, I am not afraid again, this 'Gaimou' must have other ways to come in, right?" ”

Xingren raised the torch and walked inside: "I said that I have a retreat technique, do you believe it?" ”

"Don't believe it!" Tang Yudao shook his head, "I followed my master to the north and south when I was a child, and I have seen so many strange things, most of them are fake and artificial, I don't believe that there are really spells in this world at all." ”

Xing Renju just smiled, stood still and asked, "Do you think this place was really a sentry post before?" What's wrong with that? ”

Tang Yudao pointed to the stone table and stone bench: "There shouldn't be a stone table and stone bench, even if the soldiers hiding here need it, but in the case of Mongolian soldiers, they don't need the furnishings of these Han people's homes at all, most of them sit on the ground, and the stone bed is also redundant, in addition, the stables here are even more strange, by the way, Master Xing, I wanted to ask before, you said that the soldiers here go out to patrol in all directions every day, but what about their horses?" It can't be on the prairie, right? It is impossible to hide here, because the entrance to the cave is too small for a large horse, not even a small foal, to enter or exit. ”

Xing Renju walked to the edge of the cave wall and knocked on the wall with his hand: "This so-called 'Gaimou' is hewn out of a huge rock, which was originally a whole, and after it is chiseled, it is rolled into a deep pit and buried, the main purpose is to be strong and durable, so as not to collapse under the premise of strong external force." ”

Tang Yudao also stepped forward and touched it with his hand, and inserted the dagger into the gap between the stones on the wall, and sure enough, he found that it couldn't be inserted at all - the stones were carved out later, similar to reliefs.

Tang Yudao asked again: "Master Xing, then how did you get in?" ”

Xing Renju pointed to the top of the cave: "There is a living stone there, originally the living stone was used to escape, if a person is sealed inside, you can step on the upper part of the stone table, open the living stone, and then dig the soil above to escape, but because of geological changes, there is a crack on the living stone, and I jumped from there." ”

Tang Yudao immediately jumped onto the stone table, looked at the hole with a torch, and then used his hand to fiddle with the stone slab on it, and it was really easy to open: "It's amazing, the Mongols actually had this kind of technology in that era." ”

Xing Renju shook his head: "This is not the technique of the Mongols. ”

Tang Yudao asked, "Whose is that?" ”

Xing Renju said: "You don't know you when I said it. ”

After that, Xing Renju carefully took out a scroll from his baggage, and then motioned for Tang Yudao to get down from the stone table, and then carefully wiped the dust off the stone table, and then put the scroll on it, and after adjusting the lower position left and right, he took a few steps back, looked at the scroll on the stone table and smiled.

Tang Yudao looked at the scroll, then at Xing Renju, and asked, "Master Xing, what is this?" ”

"A false clue." Xing Renju said lightly, "Maybe it will kill a lot of people, but that's okay, as long as I can hide the clues of Qimen, I can do anything." ”

After the word "Qimen" came out of Xing Renju's mouth, Tang Yudao was shocked, but he didn't ask anything, but watched Xing Renju kneel down, kowtow to the scroll, and chanted words in his mouth, as if he was atoning for his sins.

After a long time, Xingren raised his head: "Let's go, we can go out, thank you for helping me." ”

Tang Yudao looked at the scroll, nodded, and then made a gesture to help Xingren to hold it up to the stone table.

Xing Renju said: "You go up first, I asked you to come in first just now, and now you should go out first." ”

Tang Yudao shook his head: "Master Xing, please first." ”

Xing Renju just shook his head and insisted that Tang Yudao leave first, Tang Yudao saw that he was so insistent, so he had to put the torch aside, take the lead in stepping on the stone table, and climbed up with difficulty to avoid the scroll on the stone table.

After Tang Yudao climbed up, he put the rope down, and after Xing Renju grabbed it, he struggled to pull it up.

Xing Renju grabbed the rope and climbed towards the hole above, coupled with Tang Yudao's tugging at the upper end, he came to the entrance of the cave effortlessly, just when Xing Ren raised his arms against the hole and wanted to get up, he was suddenly held up by a pistol in front of his forehead.

Xing Renju leaned there, raising his eyes to look at Tang Yudao, who was holding a gun.

At this time, Tang Yudao seemed to have changed into another person, his previous modesty and respect disappeared, and his face was full of greed and indifference: "Give it to me." ”

Xing Renju shook his head: "What do you want?" ”

Tang Yudao said coldly: "All the valuable things on your body." ”

Xingren nodded, took off the burden with great difficulty, and put it beside him: "Now you can pull me up." ”

"I still have that scroll." Tang Yudao pointed down, "You go down and give it to me, and then throw it up." ”

Xing Renju shook his head: "If I do that, you won't pull me up again, and you will definitely bury me underneath." ”

Tang Yudao glanced at the crack in the ground that was more than ten meters long where the hole was located: "This gap is so long and deep, I don't have so much effort to dig and fill it, I mean what I say, as long as you give it to me, I will let you go." ”

Xing Renju sighed: "Actually, you came back to me because I took out the gold leaf, and I also judged that the purpose of my coming here is not simple, so you want to follow me and find an opportunity to make a windfall." ”

Tang Yudao looked around: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get me the scroll, hurry up!" ”

Xing Renju looked at Tang Yudao and said seriously: "It's useless for you to hold that thing, even if you unlock the secret above, you won't end well, I just said, it's a wrong clue." ”

"I'm not interested in following up on the leads." Tang Yudao sneered, "But I can sell it to those who are interested, in the world, as long as you know the 'Qimen', who doesn't want to find it?" ”

Xing Renju smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, you also know Qimen. ”

"I know you're a cargo chaser, and only a cargo chaser will go to Qimen." Tang Yudao moved his neck, "I used to be a tomb robber, of course I have heard rumors about Qimen, but I know my ability very well, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten imperial food and become a soldier." ”

Xing Renju said in a playful tone: "But you can't be a soldier well, and you end up being a bandit." ”

Tang Yudao fired a shot at the ground next to Xing Renju: "Don't insult me, I'm a person with a bad temper, if my hands shake again, I'm afraid the bullet will open several holes in your head." ”

Xing Renju looked directly into Tang Yudao's eyes: "Okay, I'll go down and get it for you, but don't regret it." ”

Tang Yudao touched Xing Renju's cheek with the muzzle of the gun that was still hot: "As long as you have money, I won't regret anything, go ahead." ”

When Tang Yudao was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, he immediately raised his head, and saw a large amount of dust raised on the hillside not far away, he immediately got up, put his hand on the pergola and watched, and then saw several horses galloping towards this side, and behind one of them, it seemed that there was something dragging on it.

"It's broken! It's a horse beard! Tang Yudao immediately squatted down, "You go down quickly, I will go down too!" ”

Xing Renju smiled and shook his head: "It turns out that you are afraid of death, but I am not afraid, I will not go down, there is a kind of you killing me!" ”

Tang Yudao raised his gun and aimed at Xing Renju, and shouted: "I told you to go down, hurry up!" The mustache is coming, and we all have to die! ”

"You're going to kill me anyway, so you might as well die with me!" Xing Renju smiled, "So there is also a companion on the Huangquan Road, isn't it?" ”

Hearing Xing Renju say this, Tang Yudao really had killing intent this time, raised his gun to aim at Xing Renju's head, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, one of the horses running in the distance raised his gun and shot, directly knocking out the Mauser pistol in Tang Yudao's hand.

Tang Yudao took off the pistol, flew out, and fell to the ground, he didn't care about the punishment of Renju, he covered his numb hand and ran in the direction of the pistol, just when he was about to run to the pistol, a long whip swung over, wrapped the pistol on the ground, and then pulled, the pistol was directly dragged into the hand of the long whip.

Tang Yudao froze there, maintaining the posture of leaning over and holding a gun, and the rushing horses were suddenly divided into two groups, one group surrounded Xing Renju, and the other group surrounded Tang Yudao.

Tang Yudao slowed down, calmed his breathing and emotions, then slowly turned around, squeezed out a smile, and looked at the bearded man who was wearing an old-style Beiyang Army uniform, holding a rifle in his hand, and another rifle hanging in the back pocket of the horse, and said respectfully: "Master Ma." ”

As soon as Tang Yudao finished speaking, he saw the thing dragged behind the horse that Ma Hu was riding, it was a person, and it was the bandit boss who had said goodbye to Tang Yudao a few hours ago.

When Tang Yudao saw the bandit boss, he was dumbfounded, because the bandit boss's upper body had been stripped naked, and there were several bullet holes on his bloody chest, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

In the distance, Xing Renju was still lying at the entrance of the cave, cautiously looking at the bandits around him, and roughly counted, there were 8 of them in total, and at least 13 guns could be seen.

8 people, 13 guns, hard fights don't even have a half chance of winning, especially on the ground. Xing Renju closed his eyes and thought about the countermeasures in his heart, and the consequences that would come if he used them.

"Huh-" Ma Huzi turned around and fired a shot at the corpse of the bandit boss, after the corpse was hit by a bullet, his whole body trembled, and Tang Yudao was also trembling in fright, as if the bullet hit not the corpse, but him.

"Are you...... Fourth, right? The muzzle of the mustache pointed at Tang Yu and said, "What's the name of your nest?" What are the five heroes of Jinsui called? You are the fourth, the fourth! Everyone is called the fourth master! ”

The bearded subordinates laughed, Tang Yudao didn't dare to raise his head, he closed his eyes vigorously, he knew that he might eat a bullet at any time.

The horsebeard slapped the horse a few steps forward, came to Tang Yudao's side, supported his chin with the barrel of the gun, and raised his head: "Look at me and answer me a question." ”

Tang Yudao nodded, and the beard looked at the grassland around him: "Did Lao Tzu say that let the five of you get out of this grassland?" ”

Tang Yudao nodded again, the beard smiled, the muzzle of the gun was raised, and a shot was fired, and the bullet flew past Tang Yudao's ear, knocking his earlobe off directly.

Tang Yudao covered his ears and fell to the ground wailing, Xing Renju took a deep breath beside him and shook his head slightly.

At this time, four more horses came running in the distance, and the first three horses sat on the tied bandit second, third and fifth, their mouths were stuffed into rags, and after coming to him, they were dragged off the horses one by one by the horse's bearded men, and then dragged to Tang Yudao and knelt down.

Tang Yudao covered his ears and raised his eyes to look at his three brothers who were still alive, but had been beaten all over their bodies and trembled. The three of them also looked at him intently, their faces full of regret, regret for coming to the place of the beard.

Horsebeard put his gun across the saddle: "Come to me to forage, you can, I said it, no problem, but you have to know the rules, find a piece of meat, you have to leave half of it for me, I said it, right?" And I can also guarantee your safety, I'm alone to keep this place safe, and it's not easy for me, I can't take half of you, right? As a result, last time you robbed a caravan here, took away all the valuable things, and left a few pots of wine for Lao Tzu, what are you *** when I am? Lord of the land? That little wine and a few pieces of rotten meat can fool you through? ”

Tang Yudao still didn't dare to speak, and blood kept coming from his fingers covering his ears.

"Don't speak?" Ma Hu smiled, raised his head, and the bandit next to him shot directly at the back of the second child's head, and the second child fell directly to the ground, and the third and fifth children next to him were frightened, and the mouth with the rags began to let out a whining wail.

Tang Yudao looked at the horse beard: "Master Ma, we know that we are wrong, please, spare us, we will get out immediately, roll far away, and never come back." ”

Ma Hu twitched his nose and turned his head to look at Xing Renju: "Who is he?" What for? Why is it in the hole? Also, why does he still have gold leaves on him, and why do your brothers and you also have gold leaves? Where did it come from? He gave? Where did he come from? ”

Tang Yudao thought about it, and immediately told the previous things in 1510, but only concealed the matter of the scroll and Qimen, and did not say the specific identity of Xing Renju, on the contrary, he said that Xing Renju was a tomb robber, and he also had a relationship with Sun Dianying, saying that Xing Renju was Sun Dianying's subordinate before.

Ma Hu turned over and dismounted, came to Xing Renju, squatted down and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”

Xing Renju looked at the horse's beard and shook his head: "I didn't finish speaking, there is a scroll below, it is a treasure map, it is quite valuable, he only missed this." ”

The beard turned his head and hated Tang Yudao, Tang Yudao was also surprised, and he didn't understand why Xing Renju wanted to say this.

At this moment, Xing Renju said again: "Master Ma, I am from outside, I don't know the rules here, and I don't know that this is your territory, how much offense, as long as you leave me with this life, I will give you everything, and I can also give you the scroll below." ”

Mustache asked, "What kind of treasure map is the scroll?" What is the location? Also on my turf? ”

Xing Renju shook his head: "In the Altai Mountains." ”

The beard frowned: "Altai Mountains? What is that place? ”

Xing Ren said: "If you go west from here, if you ride a horse, if the road goes well, you can get there in about two months." ”

Horsebeard smiled disdainfully: "Why don't you say it's in heaven?" How good it is to be in heaven, I shot you with one shot, and you go to heaven to help me get it back. ”

Xing Renju took a deep breath: "It's true, I don't need to lie to you, Master Ma, I still have some antique jade on me, although they are all gadgets, but they are worth two dollars, maybe they can't change the lives of a few of us......"

"Wait a minute!" Ma Hu turned his head to look at Tang Yudao and the two remaining bandits who were still alive, "You mean, you still want to save those three leper dogs?" ”

Xing Renju nodded: "I can meet them, it is fate, if I can save them, I will save them, this is my principle." ”

Ma Hu pursed his mouth: "Then I'm sorry, you probably can't save it, because I've calculated it, your little thing, plus the treasure map that I don't know where to find it, can live people." ”

As the beard spoke, one hand was raised, and immediately after, gunshots rang out from behind.

After the gunshot, the bandit Lao San fell directly to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground.

Tang Yudao, who was kneeling there, and the fifth child who was still alive were completely stupid, they just trembled and stared at the ground in front of them, watching the blood of the third child gradually spread to him.
