23 To each his own need

I turned my head and looked at him quietly.

When he saw my expression, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Forget it, I'll just say it casually, let's continue on our way." ”

I smiled slightly, "What do you want us to help you?" ”

"Uh...... Help me locate a Xiliao tomb, after the matter is completed, let's three seven, you three, I seven, how about it? He said quickly.

I knew he would say that.

"We're not inverted, you're professional, can't you position yourself?" I asked.

"It's a strange place," he said, "and I've been there twice, and each time I've been hit by a ghost, and I've gotten lost in the mountains." It's not too far from where you're going, and I can see that you have some special skills, so I wanted to ask you. Pony brothers, how about you think about it? ”

I laughed, "We're busy." ”

He glanced at Miao Yi and thought for a while, "Four-six!" ”

"Very busy", I looked into the distance.

"Five-five!"

"Didn't you hear me?" I said, "Busy! ”

He hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth, "You take six, okay?" ”

I became interested, "Do you know what valuable treasures are in that tomb?" Why are you so persistent? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, brother, I'm not the only one who knows the Xiliao Tomb there, but after so many years, I haven't seen anyone who can give it an accurate look", he handed me a cigarette and lit one himself, "I recently got a girlfriend, and I'm going to stop this time." I have been to Bozhou several times, and each time I was lost in the mountains, and they all said that I had a big life, and several people were trapped and died in the mountains before, but I came out alive. ”

He took a few puffs and continued, "Originally, I came back this time and thought that I would never touch this again. But the night before yesterday, just as I was about to go to bed, a girl floated in from the windowβ€”your friend. I didn't fall asleep, and I almost didn't scare me to death when I watched her float in with my eyes open! ”

I nodded, "No wonder you didn't close your eyes all night like that yesterday, right?" ”

He looked at me with trepidation, "What? She stood motionless and stared at me, I couldn't scream, and my clothes were soaked through cold sweat. After staring at her for a while, she disappeared and I was able to move, so I came out and called my dad. But after meeting my father, I sang as soon as I wanted to talk, and the singing was very ugly, and after singing for a while, I lost my strength, so I went back to my room in a daze and locked the door. Then the girl reappeared and continued to stare at me......" He looked helpless, took a hard puff of his cigarette, and slowly spit it out.

"No wonder he said you were crazy", I looked at him, "repeated it many times in one night, right?" ”

He nodded, "Then it was almost dawn and she finally spoke." Said that I had trespassed into their forbidden place several times and committed unforgivable sins, and that she could have killed me at any time. I knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, begging her to give me a chance, but she didn't say anything, smiled, turned and floated away. That smile makes me feel cold when I think about it now. ”

"Then why do you dare to visit the Xiliao Tomb?" I asked deliberately.

"You listen to me," he said, "and the next day you went to me and told me that she was your friend, and that I would be your guide, and I had no choice but to agree." At night, I didn't dare to sleep, but I was so tired that I fell asleep before I knew it. I dreamed that she came again and told me that if things went well, she could let me go, and she wouldn't let me go in vain. She didn't look the same yesterday as she did the night before, she was dressed as a Mongolian. I originally thought that she was the owner of the Western Liao Tomb, and since she was a Mongolian, she was not a Western Liao. And she also said that she wouldn't let me go for nothing, so I ......"

I smiled calmly, and said in my heart that it was really a thief, and a tomb robber wanted two wizards to help him rob the tomb, why did this sound so funny?

"Since she said she wouldn't let you go in vain, let's hurry first, as for what you said," I rolled down the window and threw away the cigarette butt, "and we'll talk about it then." ”

"Good! Happy brothers! He immediately became happy, "Let's hurry first, we can get there before dark, and I will invite you to drink wine and eat hand-cooked mutton in the evening!" ”

If you want someone to work, you have to give him some sweetness, otherwise he has no passion, right? Locating the tomb is very simple for me, and it is not difficult for him. But listen to him, over the years, many tomb robbers have encountered ghosts hitting the wall in the vicinity, and this is wrong. If it's just a ghost, it can't be good for all the captains who touch the gold. I now understand why Aso went looking for him, two points: first, the stone statue of the Tibetan map is not far from the tomb of Naxiliao; The second is that there is a ghost - there is no ghost, eighty percent of it is a special feng shui array!

Maybe it's for this reason that she hid the picture there back then. I can summon her out and ask, but I'm not in a hurry, since she doesn't take the initiative to say, she must have her intentions, in this case, it's enough to trust her, and there's nothing wrong with worrying less.

On the way, passing by the service area, Zhang Teng went to refuel, and Miao Yi and I walked into the supermarket.

"Do you really want to help him locate the tomb?" Miao Yi picked up a pack of Hetian jujubes, looked at it, and put it down again.

"Say yes first, and then we'll talk about it later", I took a few bottles of kvass.

Miao Yi glanced at me, "We're not tomb robbers. ”

"Of course we aren't," I said, "and everyone just takes what they need." ”

"What do you mean?" She frowned.

"You believe me, he can't open the tomb," I said, "I promised him, but I just gave him a thought, otherwise, how could he make him work for us in a down-to-earth manner?" ”

"Are you so confident?" She looked at me, "Are there any tombs that professional grave robbers can't open?" ”

I smiled, "If the tomb robbers are really so powerful and have the ability to go to heaven and earth, then wouldn't the tombs of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian have been dug up long ago?" At that time, Tang Chao mobilized 300,000 troops to excavate the Qianling Tomb but did not find out the underground palace, which is the advantage of digging the mountain as a tomb. The Xiliao Tomb is on the mountain, although it is not a mountain for the mausoleum, but since there is a special feng shui array near it, at least it means that it is not an ordinary nobleman's tomb, how can a mere Zhang Teng open it? ”

"Did you use magic skills?" She asked.

"No, guess," I said.

A disdainful smile appeared on her lips, she took two cans of coffee and turned to check out.

I couldn't help but smile as I looked at her curvy back, I liked her cold or disdainful look, it was particularly charming.

Along the way, Zhang Teng was in a good mood, this is the power of thought. Not every thought can become a reality, but as long as the thought is there, people will have confidence, strength, and life.

When it was almost dark, we arrived in a small town in the city of Mount Alatau, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture.

Zhang Teng parked the car, "Let's stay in this town for one night, and enter the mountain tomorrow morning." ”

"You've lived in this place?" I looked out the window at the small hotel.

"Every time I come, I stay here," Zhang Teng said, "the conditions are not good, and it will be one night." ”

"I think it's fine, let's stay here", I opened the door and got out of the car, stretched, and took a deep breath, very comfortableβ€”at least the air was good.

The room was simple, but it was okay, and after a night's rest, we set off early the next morning for the winter camp.

For the nomadic tribes, the winter camp did not refer to a specific camp, and the whole of Bortala was the residence of Dzungar in those days. And the place we are going to is the place of winter sacrifice for the nobles of Junggar.

Zhang Teng is very familiar with it, he has done his homework for many years for the Xiliao tomb, and he is familiar with the situation in that area, even better than the locals. He said that there is a grassland, a river, a lake, and on the mountain next to it, there is a very old stone statue, and there is a mountain beam about a kilometer around the stone statue and continuing to walk into the mountain, and the Xiliao tomb is said to be in that area.

This statement is very vague, it sounds very simple, but in fact, what is going on, you can only know when you get that.

After driving along the road for about half an hour from the town, a grassland appeared in front of me. The car left the road, went directly into the grassland, walked for more than twenty minutes, passed through a mountain pass, and a wider grassland appeared in front of me, a very wide river meandered in it, and a beautiful lake at the foot of the mountain, shining with an incomparably holy light.

This is the grassland in his mouth, the place of winter camp sacrifice of the Junggar Ministry.

"Is that the mountain?" I pointed into the distance.

"Yes!" Zhang Teng stopped the car, "The car is parked here, let's walk over." ”

"Good!" I opened the door and got out of the car, "Miao Yi, let's go." ”

Miao Yi didn't speak, jumped off the pickup neatly, and picked up his bag.

"Let's go!" I said, "Let's hurry up, finish our errands, and go back to Urumqi to meet the captain." ”

"Hmm!" Miao Yi nodded.

"You still have a captain?" Zhang Teng was curious, "How many people are there?" ”

I glanced at him, "Are you curious?" ”

"Uh...... No", he was a little embarrassed, "but didn't you promise to help me locate the Xiliao Tomb?" If you're going to rush back today...... I'm afraid it's too late, right? ”

"You just lead the way," I said, "as long as things go well with us, you can do it with your feet." ”

"But......" he hesitated.

"Let me tell you the truth, the reason why the Xiliao Tomb is strange is because there is a special feng shui array nearby, and if you stay there for a long time, you will be fascinated, like a ghost hitting a wall", I said, "When our business is done, the feng shui array is estimated to be broken, and then you can locate it easily." ”

"Oh, I see!" He understood, and the look in my eyes immediately became admired, "Brother Pony, you are really a master!" ”

I smiled, "Don't hold it yet, four or six cents, not a penny less!" ”

"Don't worry! No matter what treasure I can get this time, we'll all score four or six points if I make a shot! He patted his chest and said.

I looked at him and said, "Okay! Don't regret what you say! ”

He smiled, "Don't worry, I will never regret it!" ”

Zhang Yazi is his nickname, and it is also his honorific title for him in this industry, anyway, he said so.

"Let's go!" After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the mountain peak in the distance.

Miao Yi and I glanced at each other and followed behind.

"Aso, aren't you coming out yet?" I asked silently.

Zhang Teng stopped suddenly, turned around and smiled at me, "I'm here, let's go." ”
