For the next period of time, Huzi and I stayed in the antique shop of Black Crow Lao Qi almost every day, looking at the information of the tomb robbery day and night, what zongzi, water corpses, feng shui, the location of the tomb, the technique of opening the coffin, the mechanism of the tomb, gossip, metaphysics, historical classics, all the books were rotten by me, and I read it back and forth more than three times, and there was a whole small half a year.

But after half a year of getting along, slowly I also learned about this crow Laoqi, in fact, he is still very righteous, never take advantage of others, although he is also a rich and powerful lord in the city, but never bullied the poor, and donated money to build two hope primary schools in the countryside, in the words of the crow Laoqi himself, the treasure left by the ancestors is lying in the ground, it is better to take it out to benefit future generations.

The days were so boring, until one day, the black crow Lao Qi asked about the black box again.

"I said, Lao Bai, how did you get into that thief cave in the Gobi Desert? Are you sure it's a thief hole? ”

In half a year, the crow asked me this question no less than a hundred times, and I replied impatiently, "Isn't it just a thief hole, you have asked it a hundred times." ”

"No, I also know that there is a tomb there, and it is very big, and I want to go in and explore it several times, but unfortunately it is the Gobi over there, and I can't open the thief hole, dig three or four meters down is the quicksand layer, and the thief hole will collapse, you say that the thief hole is ten meters deep?"

I carefully recalled it and said, "No, it should be deeper, I remember that at that time, Huzi and I paddled down five or six meters, and the corpse was about eight or nine meters away, and when I turned on the flashlight to shine down, there was still a lot of space underneath." ”

The black crow nodded, oh, and then said, "You have been with me for half a year, and we should also be active." The old crow lit a cigarette.

"Where are you going?"

"Just go to the thief hole you talked about, there is a good treasure there."

Looking at the expression of the black crow Lao Qi, I was itching, and Huzi was even more anxious, he had long been holding back his strength, and when he heard that he was going to set off, he kept urging for several days.

The black crow Lao Qi counted the days, found an auspicious day, and took me, Huzi and his subordinates named Huanzi, set off together, and went to the Gobi outside the Yumen Pass.

We came to the town where we had stayed, rested here for two days, prepared dry food and water for ten days, and set off towards the Gobi Desert with 40 pounds of equipment on our backs.

Although one of the black crows is made of wood, he is not slower than ordinary people when he walks, and sometimes even Huzi and I can't catch up.

"Hey, I said Seventh Master, you are in your fifties, why is your physical strength so good, you slow down, slow down......"

Hearing me say this, Huan Zi was happy, turned to me and said, "How many are fifty?" To tell you the truth, the seventh master is only thirty-five this year. ”

"Ahh Huzi and I were both surprised.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's go."

The black crow old seven had a serious face, although Huzi and I were puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask again, I thought to myself that this black crow old seven must have experienced something big, it is estimated that it should be something in the tomb, maybe it was when I went down to the tomb and encountered something unclean? He lost a hand and a foot and made himself decrepit before he grew old, and he never mentioned it about his own hands and feet, and it was inconvenient for me to ask.

After walking for about a day and a night, I relied on my memory to find the place where Huzi and I had taken refuge from the sandstorm that night, and pointed in the direction to the east: "The robbery cave should be over there." ”

I originally thought that the black crow would speed up his pace, but I didn't expect him to slowly take out a gossip-shaped wooden box from his bag, open the lid and look at it carefully, then turn around in place, and finally nodded, pointed to the east position and said, "Yes, the yin qi is the heaviest over there, it should be over there." ”

I was curious, what was he holding in his hand, it was so magical, I could see which side was heavy, and I thought that with such a good thing, wouldn't it be much more convenient to rob tombs in the future? So he leaned over and asked, "Seventh Master, what kind of treasure do you have in your hand, let us take a look." ”

He was also generous, and handed me the box casually, "This is an ancient pattern gossip compass brought out of a cemetery, invented by a Taoist priest in ancient times, can measure feng shui, know where is the treasure of gathering yin, is a good place to go to the tomb, until now I haven't understood his principle, this thing is very complicated, even if you give it, you can't understand it." ”

I opened the lid and saw that it was densely packed with words, the innermost is a yin and yang gossip style, and there are a lot of small grids densely distributed around, like directions, which looks very complicated, I didn't understand how to use it for a long time, and then returned it to the seventh master.

Huzi said thoughtlessly, "What kind of ancient pattern gossip compass, the things brought out of this tomb are still labeled?" It's not what you want it to be called yet, it's what it is! If you want me to say, this thing is just a compass, why do you have such a long name? ”

Hearing Huzi say this, we all smiled awkwardly, Huzi said nothing wrong, the things brought out of the tomb generally have no name, most of them are named according to his appearance and age, and there is nothing wrong with the seventh master's name.

We walked all the way, all the way carefully looking for the thief hole where we were hiding that night, but unfortunately the wind and sand on the Gobi are very large, and the opening of the thief hole is small, and it has long been buried by the wind and sand, and now it really takes some trouble to find it.

The sun on the Gobi is very poisonous, the sun makes our mouth dry, our backs are hot for a while, and the physical exertion is very great, and we feel that the skin on our backs can be rubbed off a large piece, Huzi and Huanzi walked behind me and Qiye, both of them were hot and dying, all the way, all the way to drink water.

"I said, brother, seventh master, when will this be found? The sun is almost dying. After Huzi finished speaking, he took a few more sips of water.

I looked up into the distance, the ground was particularly distorted because of the heat rising from the heat, and sighed, "It's not your fault, you found the thief hole first that day, and when you got to the place, you couldn't find it anymore." ”

Huzi was not happy when he heard it, "That night, I was scared out of my damn guts, how could I take care of so much, just ...... to avoid the black sandstorm"

Before Huzi's words fell, I saw that the seventh master made a gesture and motioned for us to stop, "No! What about Huanzi? ”

As soon as I heard this, I subconsciously looked back, only to see the vast Gobi Desert, which could be seen for more than ten kilometers at a glance, and I was stunned that there was no figure of Huanzi, only the heat wave brought by the wind was blowing in our ears.

"Was he still behind me?" Huzi touched his head.

At this time, I only felt a rumbling voice under our feet, "Help... Save me! ”

Hearing this voice, I was stunned at first, and the seventh master hurriedly ran back a few steps, "Here!" Come and give a hand. ”

The seventh master's hands and feet were inconvenient, Huzi and I hurriedly ran over, only to see a hand deep in a one-meter-wide cave, and grabbed the seventh master's hand, and the three of us pulled it out, isn't this person Huanzi?

It turned out that Huan Zi raised his head to drink water while walking just now, and he stepped on the air and fell into a hole in the ground.

I squatted down and looked at the hole carefully, and touched the surrounding of the hole, and sure enough, there were traces of shovels, "Seventh Master, I found it, this is the thief hole we hid in that day." ”

The seventh master squatted down, looked down, sighed twice, and said, "Sure enough, it is a master to play a thief hole, the thief hole is a huge stone rock layer, and there is some sand and soil on this Gobi Desert that can be holed, this person is very clever, sticking to the huge stone rock layer obliquely down, even if he encounters a quicksand layer, he is not afraid that the thief hole will collapse, and he can calculate the thickness and depth of the stone rock layer so accurately, this person who makes a hole is definitely not simple." ”

Just when we were glad to have found the thief hole, we only heard Huzi shouting "Run, run!" ”

The three of us were stunned, not knowing what was going on, only to see the tiger running in the opposite direction of us.

I instinctively looked back and saw that more than a dozen dark green scorpions had rushed towards us, very fast, leaving a long crawling trail on the Gobi Desert, and arrived in front of us in a blink of an eye with a rustling sound, at this time the tiger had run out more than ten meters away.

"What the fuck are you doing, run!"

I have seen the power of this scorpion, I was scared to death, I turned around and ran, the seventh master is a well-informed person, when he saw me running, he was not ambiguous, he turned around and ran backwards with me, just ran two steps, only to see Huanzi still stunned, "Huanzi, what is it?" ”

"Seventh Master, aren't they just a few palm-sized scorpions? If you stomp on him, it's over. Before Huan Zi could finish speaking, a scorpion had already rushed in front of him, and before he could lift his foot and step down, the scorpion made a somewhat snake-like sound, only to see the pimple on its back suddenly shoot a cloud of white liquid towards Huan Zi's face.

Huanzi instinctively blocked it with his hand, but as soon as he came into contact with the white liquid, he screamed "Oh, my mother!" ”

Huanzi showed a painful expression and leaned back.

Seeing that if Huanzi falls, he will definitely be surrounded by this scorpion, and if he doesn't go over to save him now, then he must be dead or alive.

The seventh master reacted quickly and pulled out his pistol, "Bang!" "It's just two shots, the marksmanship is extremely accurate, and it is hitting the backs of the two scorpions closest to Huanzi, white and green juice splashing, two or three drops have splashed on Huanzi's pants, rubbing white smoke.

I don't know how corrosive this scorpion's blood is, and in less than three seconds, the sole of the sneakers on the sole of the cow's tendon can be corroded, so I hurriedly rushed over with the seventh master, and one of us pulled Huanzi back with one hand.

"Huzi, help quickly, take off his pants!"

Although Huzi was far away just now, he also saw it clearly, knowing that the blood of the scorpion was splashed on Huanzi's pants, so he immediately pulled out his saber, slashed it under Huanzi's belt, and tore it with all his hand, tearing off Huanzi's pants and throwing them aside.

The four of us ran back frantically, and at this time Huanzi was completely reactive, and he didn't need us to pull and rush forward.
