Seeing that night had fallen, Qiao Benliang and the three of them found a sand dune on higher ground and was conducive to observing the situation on the opposite side, and quietly hid it.

In order to resist the cold weather at night, Lunengda came up with a clever trick, he asked everyone to dig three caves in the sand dunes in advance, to the depth of people's necks, and only need to show one head to watch, although this does not look very elegant, but at least it will not be frozen again.

Chen Jie stood in the sand cave, feeling quite funny, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Hahaha, Brother Lu, you have a lot of ghost ideas, I don't have to worry about being frozen anymore if I spend the night in the wild like this!" ”

Lunengda smiled and said, "This is also a way to do it!" Little fat brother, you just wronged one night! ”

At this moment, Qiao Benliang saw a light flashing in the distance, flickering and slowly moving towards this side, and he hurriedly reminded the two partners around him: "Shhhh Don't talk anymore, be quiet, someone is coming in this direction! ”

Lunengda and Chen Jie immediately stopped speaking and focused their attention on the front.

After a while, a group of people came over from the north, and Qiao Benliang saw clearly by the light of the other party's flashlight, this group of people was no more, no less, just six. This confirmed his judgment that the cigarette butts on the sand were thrown by these six people.

I saw that this group of people was dressed very casually, and they were all wrapped in cotton coats, which were still dirty and shabby; Judging from their appearance, they are ugly and handsome, tall and short, and old and young. They all carried a small bag on their shoulders, some of them held a detection instrument in their hands, some held a Luoyang shovel in their hands, and some held ropes in their hands.

Qiao Benliang already had the answer in his heart, and needless to say, these six people were a group of tomb robbers. Could it be that there are ancient tombs here too? How else would they have come here?

The men stopped at the back of the castle, formed in a circle, and began to chatter. Among them, there was a middle-aged man with a tall and thin figure and a sharp voice, and asked the short old man next to him: "Sixth brother, aren't you afraid that strange thing will appear again tonight?" ”

The sixth said in a hoarse voice: "Da Mao, you have also been running on the road for so many years, how did you become more and more timid?" I'm afraid it's a fart, what we are doing is gambling with our lives, what kind of thing haven't we experienced? If I ever meet that ugly monster again, I'll have to kill it!" ”

Da Mao laughed twice and said, "Sixth brother, don't blow our cow to death!" And said that you are not afraid, why did you run faster than anyone else last night? ”

Lao Liu stroked a few beards on his chin with his hand, and said disapprovingly: "I was not mentally prepared, I panicked for a while, who knows how this place can be so evil?" Hey, Maozi, I've never heard anyone in the same path mention it before, where did this monster come out? ”

Da Mao shook his head: "Even you, an old man, don't know, and I don't know about it!" Alas, this time we are really disadvantaged, and we are scared by this strange guy! Let's hope the gods will bless us with all the best tonight! ”

Since the two of them spoke some Guanzhong dialects, Qiao Benliang sounded a little difficult, but fortunately, when he was studying at the university, there were people in the class who were from that place, and he could roughly understand what the other party was saying.

They must have been to this place last night, and they were just about to start the operation, when the monster suddenly fell from the sky, and several people were frightened, and the planned plan was interrupted, and they had to flee from this place temporarily. However, what made Qiao Benliang feel incomprehensible was what valuable treasure was buried here that attracted this group of thieves to be willing to take a huge risk to turn back again?

Qiao Benliang tilted his ears sideways, held his breath, and continued to listen to them.

"Brothers, let's stop chatting around here and get to work, shall we?"

Among them, there was a young man with a fluted head, who was impatient to listen, and muttered a few words on the side. The sixth said to the man: "Xiaohu, this is not a matter of urgency, we must discuss a countermeasure, and then it's not too late to start!" ”

Xiaohu said: "Then you two should discuss it quickly, we are the people you called, of course we have to listen to your command, what do you ask us to do, let's do it!" ”

Da Mao asked the sixth brother next to him: "Sixth brother, are you sure you haven't looked away from this place?" Are there any valuable treasures in the castle? ”

I only heard the sixth cough lightly, and said slowly: "Brother, what you said is like the first time you dealt with your sixth brother, I will tell you the truth: last winter, when I was buying antiques at an old herdsman's house in Xinjiang, I accidentally found an old parchment scroll thrown in the corner of his storeroom, on which some ancient texts were densely written. ”

When I got back, I went to my friend who knew ancient writing and asked him to look at it, and he said that the writing on the parchment was the Tocharian language used by the Loulan people in the past. What is written on this probably means that in the southwest of Loulan Kingdom, on the north bank of the Peacock River, there is a castle left over from ancient times, and there are several huge tombs not far from the castle; According to the records of the Loulan people, under these tombs, it is very likely that the nobles of the Peacock Kingdom were buried. ”

Da Mao and the other four people craned their necks and listened attentively, in the brain consciousness of the tomb robbers, wherever there is a story in the tomb, there will be something valuable. If it is placed on a flat-headed common person, and the family can't find a few pennies, can there be valuable burial goods in the coffin? When you are alive, you are so poor that you are dinging, and it is unlikely that you will leave any attractive stories after death!

"Sixth brother, listening to what you said, our target this time is not this ancient castle, but a few nearby graves?" The middle-aged man named Da Mao asked.

Lao Liu stroked his beard with his hands, smiled, and said, "Maozi, you misunderstood what I said!" There are rare treasures buried in those large tombs, can't there be treasures in this ancient castle? We will dig out what is buried in the ground, and we will not let go of what is hidden above! ”

Da Mao rubbed his hands vigorously, and his tone was full of joy: "Sixth brother, it seems that we have encountered a big deal this time, you can tell the brothers, what should we do next?" ”

I saw that the sixth man pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Well, I think so, let's divide the people into two groups, Da Mao and Xiao Shi, you two follow me to the tomb to investigate the entrance; Xiaohu, you take the two of them to stay at the castle to have a look, and if you find any movement, quickly send someone over to report to me. Let's go our separate ways! ”

After speaking, Lao Liu waved his hand, and hurried towards the northeast with Da Mao and Xiao Shi, and there were only three Xiaohu left in this place.

Qiao Benliang whispered to Lu Nengda: "Brother Lu, what should we do?" ”

Lunengda thought about it for a moment and said, "Xiaoliang, otherwise, I'll quietly go up and follow those three people, and you and Xiaopang will stay here and stare at these three people, okay?" ”

It can only be like this, if everyone stays in one place and does not separate, the situation on the other side is unknown, Qiao Benliang nodded and said, "Brother Lu, just do what you want!" You have to be careful! ”

The two of them were whispering when they suddenly heard a shout from the castle: "Who? Who's over there? ”
