070 Treasure
Heaven and earth are dark.
The wind and sand are very large, the black clouds swirl like a tornado, and sometimes there are bursts of thunder, and in the sky, a bird that has left the team and has escaped from the flock is lost in the yellow sand, panicked, and falls to the ground.
Its jet-black body rolled on the sand, making a piercing scream.
That's when it happened.
A hand reached into the yellow sand and picked it up.
The man wore a cloak, led a horse, and faced the wind and sand, the hat on his head had already been lifted behind his back by the strong wind, looking at the crow holding his finger tightly in his hand, and a chuckle sounded under the black scarf.
"Poor little thing!"
It was already dawn, and another night had passed, and he had not gone far last night, and had been watching the two camels go west, and then he was setting for his return.
The yellow sand was all over the sky, the wind was so strong that the big man could not open his eyes, and even the horse behind him had to keep his head down and walk against the wind, difficult and slow.
Fortunately, there is an inn not far away, and there are still people drinking and laughing, like there are quarrels and scolding, and you don't need to think about it to know that there is a dispute inside.
"Don't break my things!"
The man sighed, because it was his inn, it was indeed his, and it was not easy for him to reshape it little by little.
"Gone!"
Shoved the bewildered bird into the placket of his arms, and the man continued to lead the horse forward, he first went to the backyard, put the horse back into the stable, and there were a few camels and a few sheep in it, and by the way he also put the crow in, although the wind was still a little strong, but at least the molded earthen wall was very strong, and it was blocked, and the bird "croaked" a few times, rested on the manger, pecked at the contents inside.
"Alas, your voice is so ugly!"
He lifted the bamboo curtain that blocked the sand and walked in.
Su Qing's return attracted a lot of attention, but when he took off the face towel, the rest of his eyes also came.
In the inn, the swords are tense, the two waves of people and horses are facing each other, drawing swords to each other, as if they want to fight to the death if they don't agree.
"You're back, shopkeeper!"
"It was windy and sandy last night, so I made do with it outside for the night!"
Lao Chai and they seem to have been back for some time, although he galloped all the way, but in this desert, it is still not as long as camels, and a few people are skillfully doing the errands of the men, and they are attentive to bring a basin of water.
"Hurry up and wash the dust!"
Su Qing washed his hands, wiped his face, looked at the two groups of people casually, and said softly: "What's the matter?" ”
One is the group of Tatars, the woman headed by Chang Xiaowen, haunts the northwest border all the year round, nicknamed "life-threatening impermanence", and is also a food on the road, he opened an inn in this Longmen for three years, but he heard the caravan talk about it.
Another wave.
Fengli Dao suddenly approached and whispered: "The official in disguise said that he was looking for a woman, and the chase and killing order issued by Xichang was to find a woman who slipped out of the palace!" ”
Su Qing smiled disapprerovingly, wiped his hands, threw away his handkerchief, and said lightly: "It's about to be windy and sandy, how can you avoid the wind and do so much, if you want to hit the door again, I like to be clean, I don't like to shout and kill guests, don't dirty my place!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, all of you are walking the rivers and lakes, more things are better than less things, we are not easy, just a few words, open one eye and close one eye and pass!"
Lao Chai is a peacemaker.
"You're the shopkeeper? Don't accept any more guests these days, we will pack the whole inn! ”
Another group of people suddenly saw a person walk out, with red lips and a black mole under his left eye, but his eyes were very gloomy, he smiled coldly, and threw down a piece of silver.
"This can't be done, my shop is not only for business, but also for those who are lost in the desert to live, not to mention that there is going to be a strong wind and sand now!"
Someone snorted coldly: "What rules do you pretend to be when you open a black shop?" You just have to do it, where is so much nonsense! ”
Su Qing didn't bother to deal with them anymore, so he walked straight upstairs and glanced at the groups of people downstairs.
"The place is mine, the inn is also mine, you can live if you can, if you can't live, you can leave, you can do it yourself, you don't need to ask me, ask the wind knife!"
Fengli Dao was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Su Qing looking at him with a smile, and his heart couldn't help but burst, as if all the hidden things had leaked out, and he moved his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Since beating his father to leave him this news, he has worked hard, and it is not easy to wait until today, but those things buried in the sand must not let these people in the West Factory know, otherwise the army of the West Factory will be killed, how can they still have their share, it is a problem to live, just gritted his teeth, and really took it for Su Qing.
"Walking the rivers and lakes, what you want is to make money in harmony, you just live in the hotel!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the group of officials looked at each other, as if their faces had changed, they were respectful, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right, it was our abruptness, these silver should be reparated, if it is not enough, we will be in the guest room tonight!" ”
After speaking, he ignored the reactions of other people, and turned around and went upstairs.
Only the Tatars and the old firewood were left, as well as the wind knives.
Several people looked at each other with strange eyes.
Fengli Dao exclaimed: "It seems that the shopkeeper has seen through our business, and he hides it on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is really not an ordinary person, we all have to be careful, don't go out of the way!" ”
"Lao Chai, you go and inform everyone, let's reformulate the strategy, this shopkeeper is deeply hidden, neither black nor white, and I don't know if it's good or bad!"
"Okay, I'll go!"
Dare to love these people are all in one group.
Su Qing went upstairs, there was neither surprise nor panic in his eyes, he was very calm and calm, he just sat down, rubbing his sword gently, silently.
Under the lifted bedboard, I heard a few voices faintly coming from the depths of the secret passage, whispering.
……
"Longmen's generation, three hundred years ago, was the capital of the Great White Kingdom, when the Mongols had sent troops to surround Heishui City for a year, the entire lonely city, only one hundred and eight warriors remained, they sealed all the children, women and gold in the palace before they died, and Heishui City was flooded by wind and sand overnight!"
"The words on the two stone tablets should be read upside down, come to Jia Flying Dragon, the sand sea traps the Shenmen, come to Jia, it is sixty years and a Jiazi, the Flying Dragon is the black sandstorm, the Divine Gate, is the gate of the palace of the Great White Kingdom, every sixty years the desert black sandstorm will blow the desert open, and the palace buried in the ground will break out of the sand, and then we will be able to find the treasure inside!"
It was a female voice who spoke, but the voice suddenly changed again, it was a knife in the wind.
"In the past, the group of people who nested in the Longmen Inn were also for the treasure, and they were also women, but it was a pity that they changed halfway, and burned the inn for a man, and since then her life and death are unknown, and the rivers and lakes call her Jin Jiyu, her real name is Ling Yanqiu!"
"However, now this master is even more difficult to deal with, he seems to have been looking for that woman, and back then, Dongchang Jingqi suffered heavy casualties on this desert, and even Cao Shaoqin, the Governor of the Palm Print, did not see anyone dead or corpse, eighty percent is already dead, I guess it must have died in his hands, his hands are calloused, it can be seen that not only is he used to use his right hand, if he really wants to fight, his left hand must be more careful!"
The man who was wiping his sword smiled inexplicably when he heard this.
The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.
People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, if you don't look for trouble, you will find trouble.
What people in the world are pursuing is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, there is a generation of treasures buried under this desert, no matter who knows, I am afraid they will not be able to treat it with a normal heart, back then the gold and jade were for those things, Su Qing didn't know.
"As for the group of dog officials, there were two camels outside the inn before, but they didn't see anyone, and nine times out of ten they were looking for them!"
"Have you explored all the secret passages here?"
"No, the stone gaps are intricate, the mechanisms are heavy, and there are secret passages in the secret passages, and I can't figure it out for a while!"
"Then be careful, maybe those two people are hiding in here!"
Su Qing's movement of wiping his sword suddenly slowed down.
That's because all of a sudden, the voices were gone, and then.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
The sound of a flash shot from a hidden weapon.
Su Qing took a breath, and the person had already jumped into the tunnel with his sword.
He swept like an ape and a monkey, only on the mountain wall back and forth to borrow strength, dexterous and urgent, walking like flying, like walking on the ground, only ran out of thirty or forty steps, then saw a familiar figure besieged by several people, and retreated, the two of them looked at it, and then they looked at it.
The woman's indifferent expression suddenly softened, but behind her was the sound of "whooshing" breaking through the air, and the hidden weapon darts were shooting like rain.
Su Qing's eyes changed slightly, and he saw the woman rushing to see it, and a red rope suddenly appeared on her neck, and a wrench was tied to the red rope, for some reason, when he saw the woman stained with blood, he squinted his eyes and aimed at the few people chasing behind.
"Fuck you!"
