According to the information, Batugar is about 40 years old. Since childhood, he has almost never stepped out of the ancestral temple. Although he knew the name of the Hebei Soul Suppressor, he really didn't know the origin of the three of us.

As for the Yin and Yang store, it has only been established in recent years. He didn't know anything about it.

Zhang Wuren said calmly: "Yin and Yang shop Zhang Wuren, He Zhonghua, and Zhang Wuxin have seen their predecessors. ”

Batugar hung the mask casually around his waist, then hugged the three of us into fists and said, "Shamanic Grand Shaman Batugar, fortunately." ”

After a pause, he added, "Thank you for what you just did." ”

He Zhonghua smiled: "Senior, you are polite, I saw you just now, even without our help, I am afraid that I can win these bugs." ”

Batugar smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be relaxed. Only then did I realize that although this man was only in his forties, the wrinkles on his face were similar to those of a seventy-year-old.

Living in this kind of ghost place, it seems that the years have left deeper marks on them.

Batugar turned to find his cutlass and shook off the blood from his body. He looked at the broken corpses and lit a fire.

Under the fire, the spirits who were still wandering around just now all fled, and Batugar did not chase them, but sat on the ground, waved his hand to the three of us, and said, "The conditions are simple, and the three of you are wronged." I don't know what happened when the soul of Hebei Town came to the Death Desert? ”

Although Batugar rarely leaves the ancestral temple, this does not mean that he does not have contact with people from the outside world. In fact, every year, shamans follow supply convoys to the ancestral temple to learn the shamanic lineage.

Taking this opportunity, Batugar also learned a lot about the outside world. Including the mutual inquiries between the exorcists, but also the fame of the Hebei Soul Suppressor.

In addition, this person is extremely smart, and he knows that the exorcist will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, since he has to chase after the insect resentment in the middle of the night, he definitely has something to ask for.

Zhang Wuren didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "This time I came to the Death Desert, in fact, I wanted my seniors to participate in a very important gamble. ”

Batugar shook his head without hesitation: "I'm sorry, but the shaman of the Ancestral Temple never gambles with exorcists. And I can't leave the Desert of Death, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”

Zhang Wuren stretched out his hand and handed over a small black book, and said, "Whether the seniors want to or not, how about reading the above content first?" ”

Batugar did not refuse, took the small black book, and took advantage of the fire next to him to flip through the pages. He was slow to read, and he didn't know what he was thinking, or if he had trouble recognizing words.

In the meantime, the two old shamans had cleaned up the battlefield, and their breath had once again calmed down. Separated from the battle just now, the two of them are no different from ordinary old men.

Probably unwilling to disturb Batugar, the two old men sat next to Batugar after cleaning up. They touched it from their arms, took out dry and hard steamed buns, broke them into small pieces, and stuffed them into their mouths.

I watched a little heartbreaking, two sixty or seventy-year-old people, after a big battle, can only satisfy their hunger with black and hard steamed buns. Even if it was a black steamed bun, the two old men were reluctant to eat more, and after eating a few pieces, they wrapped it in a rag, stuffed it into their arms again, took out a sheepskin water bag and drank two sips of water, and then sat on the ground and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate to open my backpack, take out the canned beef, compressed biscuits, and nutritious drinks I had prepared.

I find these things unpalatable on weekdays, but compared with the dry and hard steamed buns eaten by the old shaman, these things are simply delicious in the world.

These exorcists, who silently guard humanity, do not deserve such treatment.

Once a shaman comes out on patrol, it's basically a time to starve. After all, they were old and weak, and the food they carried was limited, and the conditions of the ancestral temple were limited, so they couldn't even afford to buy hard, bitten, air-dried beef, let alone nutritious drinks and canned beef that were specially used as military rations.

So when they saw me bring out the food, they couldn't help but swallow.

I looked distressed and said, "Two seniors, this is how many juniors are honored to you." Rest assured, we have a lot more in the car. ”

At first, the old wizard was still hesitating, but the aroma of canned beef came out, causing the two of them to swallow their saliva. After a few more words of persuasion, I carefully picked up the canned beef and ate it slowly.

Probably because of frugality, they only ate two or three bites and put them on the ground again. One of the old wizards whispered, "Can we take this food with us?" ”

I hurriedly said, "You'd better finish eating here and replenish your strength." Don't subdue demons and eliminate demons all day long, but you can't even fill your stomach, it's uncomfortable to watch. ”

He Zhonghua whispered: "Fourth, there is still money in the account in the store, right?" When this is over, you can use the money in the store to buy a freight truck and hire two drivers to deliver supplies to the Ancestral Temple every ten days. Grandma's are all heroes who subdue demons and eliminate demons, and they can't be bitter! ”

Batugar suddenly said: "Since this is the case, then thank you in advance, but this gamble is ...... I really can't help it. Now that all the wizards are old, if I leave, they will not be able to suppress the death worm, once the death worm spreads, not only will the wizards be in danger, but also cause panic among the surrounding people. ”

Zhang Wuren seemed to have known that Batugar would say this, he thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Desert Guardian is about to break off the inheritance?" ”

Batugar's expression darkened instantly. He nodded slightly, and his tone was a little low, and said, "That's right. ”

In fact, this matter is obvious, in today's exorcism school, although the older generation is powerful, they pay more attention to the cultivation of young people. Because as long as there are young people to take over their classes, the genre can continue to flourish.

The youngest shaman of the temple was Batugar, who was in his forties. The average age of the remaining six shamans is almost seventy.

It can be said that Batugar is the last guardian of the desert.

During this time, Batugar also invited some shamans who had come to the Death Desert to join the ancestral temple. But today's young people are all young people who accept the culture of the new era, and have seen the world of flowers outside, how can they squat in this place where birds don't for a lifetime?

Batugar has wondered many times, when those six old wizards die, and then when he is old and weak, who else will guard the Death Desert? Who's going to crush those disgusting death worms?

Zhang Wufor's question directly hit the weakest part of Batugar's heart.

Seeing Batugar's lonely expression, Zhang Wuren sighed slightly and said, "If I have a way to pass on the ancestral temple, are you willing to help us participate in a gambling game?" ”

Hearing this, Batugar immediately raised his head: "How did you do it?" ”

Zhang Wuren smiled and said, "In that gambling game, you will find the answer." ”

Batugar stared at Zhang Wuyan, then looked down at the small black notebook, the expression on his face changed, and finally sighed deeply.

"Sure enough, although the method is not perfect, it can really solve the inheritance of the ancestral temple. It's just that if I leave the Ancestral Temple, who will guard the Death Desert? ”

He Zhonghua couldn't help but say: "Senior, I won't tell you anything, if you give up this opportunity, there will be no chance to revitalize the Ancestral Temple." To put it mildly, decades later, when you and a few old wizards are gone, shouldn't those damn bugs still be bouncing on their feet? ”

"In this case, it's better to fight, if you win this gamble, the inheritance of the ancestral temple will continue, and when the time comes, there will be a steady stream of new blood, even if a few of you are gone, there are people who carry the banner to suppress the death worm, isn't this the truth?"

Batugar's face changed, and it took a long time for him to say, "Ten days later? Ruoqiang County? ”

Zhang Wuren replied quickly: "It's nine days later!" ”

Batugar snorted and said, "You are right, the ancestral temple really needs to be passed on, otherwise, once we get old, this ancestral temple that has been guarded for countless years will eventually turn into ruins." ”

He slowly stood up and said, "In that case, what if I gamble once?" ”

I clearly saw a flash of joy on the faces of Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua. When Batugar dealt with the six death worms just now, everyone could see it clearly.

This man, who is only in his forties, is indeed a fierce exorcist. If he participates in this gamble, he will have at least eighty percent hope.

At that time, as long as the last person is found, the gambling personnel of this gambling game will be counted.

Zhang Wuren said: "Time is pressing! Why don't I drive all the seniors back to the ancestral temple first? And then the Batugar seniors left the Desert of Death with us? ”

The Death Desert is inaccessible, and if we don't drive there, I'm afraid Batugar will have to walk through. But unexpectedly, Batugar shook his head slightly and rejected Zhang Wuren's proposal.

He said, "Just take us back to the Ancestral Temple." Over there, I also have to prepare some necessary things to ensure the victory of the game. ”

"As for how to get to Ruoqiang County, I won't bother you. Anyway, in nine days, I will definitely arrive in Ruoqiang County! ”

An exorcist of this level is basically a spit pit, saying that if he wants to come, even if it is a knife from the sky, he will arrive on time. So we didn't suspect that Batugar was shirking us, but bowed to Batugar and the other two old wizards.

"So, please, senior!"

Batugar nodded slightly to us and said, "What we are guarding is only the Desert of Death, but what you are guarding is the whole world. Strictly speaking, it's up to us to thank the three of you. ”

He stood up and bowed to us in the same way, saying, "May the evil between heaven and earth be forever clear and justice forever!" ”
