Yumen Pass, also known as Xiaofangpan City, was built around 111 B.C., during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the throat pass of the Silk Road leading to the northern route of the Western Regions, located in the Gobi Desert about 80 kilometers northwest of Dunhuang City. Chengguan is square, loess is strong, ten meters high, three meters wide at the top, five meters wide at the bottom, 24 meters long from east to west, 26 meters wide from north to south, covers an area of 633 square meters.

However, at this time in the Qing Dynasty, the Yumen Pass has been abandoned and has become a Han Pass site that no one cares about.

There is no door in the southeast of Yumen Guanchengguan, open the door in the northwest, there is a female wall on it, there is a horse road under it, you can go straight to the top of the city from the horse road, climb high and overlook, as far as the eye can see, the swamp meadow desert lake on the vast land, dotted all over the place, connect with the sky, the whole world, like a vast and magnificent magical picture.

As soon as Bu came to Yumen Pass, my grandfather was attracted by the vast landscape in front of him, and he had run so many places in the past three years, but he didn't know that there was such a majestic and vast place to go, and he couldn't help but be open-minded.

This time, because they didn't come to dig up the coffin, my grandfather and they all went into battle lightly, without so many trivial fetters, and they were relaxed.

Although the desert scenery is beautiful, the danger in it is more than the Yellow River. Xiao Laodao, who is experienced in the desert, had already instructed my grandfather and a few of them before he came, although they were traveling lightly, each of them had to bring a few things to take advantage of, just in case.

As for my grandfather, in addition to the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword, he also carries four willow leaf flying knives and two tokens, which are also the "Three Fire Orders" and "Five Thunder Orders".

These two tokens, Xiao Laodao has seen before. Xiao Laodao said that these two tokens are very big, and they are old Taoist things, which can not only ward off evil spirits, but also restrain zombies, such as this five thunder order, after encountering zombies, without saying a word, slap the five thunder orders on the zombie's head, and then shout, Dao Tianzun, five thunders descended into the world, and the zombies will be immediately shocked by the five thunder orders. These two tokens are treasures, and it is best to carry them with you day and night.

Since Xiao Laodao said the above words, the two tokens have been taken by my grandfather every step of the way. However, they never came in handy, one was kicked to pieces by the Japanese ronin, and the other was shattered by shrapnel from a Japanese aircraft bomb.

Xiao Lao Dao, the hand is still the broken whisk, my grandfather only knew after a period of contact with him, he has a pin in the dust, as long as he twists the small copper ring at the tail of the whisk, the steel needles will shoot out from the top of the dust, like the goddess scattering flowers, these steel needles are also fed with poison, and the blood is sealed.

Xiao Chujiu, with a thick-backed simple knife hanging from his waist, and a big axe on his body, in addition to the axe, he also carried a big burden, which contained dry food and a few small jars of old wine. Although those foreigners promised to be in charge of water and food, and that they did not need to worry about the supply side, the desert was full of dangers and unpredictable, and many people never came out after entering, and they had to keep a hand in private just in case.

In the past, when robbing tombs, Xiao Chujiu has always played the role of coolies, because this guy is not only tall and burly, but also born with divine power, he can lift hundreds of catties of weight with one hand, and in the past, those tomb robbery equipment was basically carried by him alone, that is, when he found the ancient tomb, he also dug it alone. My grandfather has never seen him cry tired, no matter what the situation, he is like a lion with full strength, and his hands and feet are windy.

Xiao Shiyi, with only a simple short sword, is one size smaller than my grandfather's Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword, at first glance, it looks like a child's toy, but this short sword is really not a toy. Xiao Laodao said, this was dug out in an ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, after so many years, not only did not have the slightest rust marks, but also sharpened iron like clay, much sharper than my grandfather's Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword, and cut a hole in this short sword, the wound is difficult to heal. According to Xiao Laodao's speculation, when this sword was forged, something like mercury and silver may have been added to it, and silver was generally cut on the body, and the wound healed slower than that of an iron cut on the body.

This Xiao Shiyi, don't look at him as a mute, but he has an ability that ordinary people don't have, he was born with yin and yang eyes, which was also discovered by Xiao Laodao after he adopted him, for Xiao Laodao, a professional tomb robber, the help of yin and yang eyes to him is immeasurable.

Finally, there is the little ghost monkey, let's not talk about it, the teeth and the son are its magic weapons, but, in the past three years, the size of the little ghost monkey has not grown at all, it is still the same as in the past, standing next to my grandfather, it is still like a teenager, however, these three years are a breakthrough for it, Xiao Laodao used his so-called secret technique of the spirit to carefully train it for three years, and now the IQ of the little ghost monkey is many times higher than three years ago. Now in addition to not being able to speak, it is almost no different from ordinary people, and it can also play some sign language with my grandfather and them, expressing some difficult and difficult meanings, such as, far away, very close, dangerous retreat, etc.

After talking about my grandfather and a few of them, let's turn our eyes back to Yumen Pass. At this time, before the Yumen Gate, there was already a team of people waiting there.

Five foreigners, two Tibetans, Tibetans used to be collectively referred to as the people of the Western Regions, let's call them people from the Western Regions.

The five foreigners are all tall and big, and when my grandfather stands in front of them, he also looks a little shorter, and only Xiao Chujiu is as tall as them among my grandfather.

These five foreigners all have yellow hair, four blue eyes, one yellow eyeball, and their faces are very white, like rice paper.

My grandfather has been running north and south for three years, and foreigners have also seen a few, and when he sees these five guys, he doesn't think it's unusual, in his eyes, the appearance of these foreigners is no different from those red-butted horse monkeys.

Among the five foreigners, four were wearing leather jackets and jeans, and two of them were wearing leather boots, and two of them looked kind, a little younger, about twenty years old, and were considered beautiful men in terms of Western aesthetics. The other, just the opposite of him, looked fierce and ugly, with bear eyes, hooked nose, a full face and a big beard, even the beard was yellow, estimated to be in his thirties, these two looked like leaders. The other two, tall and stout, with serious faces, in their twenties, stood there like two hills, looking like two henchmen.

The last one, compared to these four people, looks extremely weird, the figure is on the thin side, the face is also clean, the age is about fifty years old, wearing a wide-sleeved one-piece big black robe, it looks like a big cloak, there is a big hood behind it, and there is a shiny thing in the shape of a "ten" hanging around the neck, which looks like silver, and he is holding a thick book in his hand, with a blank face.

Xiao Laodao said that this foreign devil in a big black robe was a foreign missionary, with a cross around his neck and a Bible in his hand. My grandfather didn't know what a missionary was, Xiao Laodao explained, it was a foreign monk.

Except for this foreign monk, the other four people all carried guys, a beautiful and ugly foreigner with two leaders, with a short gun stuck in the belt around his waist, two big men who looked like followers, each carrying a spear on his shoulder, and a waist knife hanging from his waist.

Foreign guns, my grandfather has also seen this thing, but I haven't seen its power, I heard Xiao Laodao say, these foreign guns can shoot steel balls in the barrel, one shot over, no matter how good the light skills can not dodge, no matter how good the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt can not stop. However, my grandfather was skeptical of Xiao Laodao's statement, and he didn't think that a strange-looking little black pipe could have such great power.

The two people from the Western Regions, standing next to several foreigners, one old and one young, the old looked like they were in their sixties, and the young were seventeen or eighteen years old, all with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, not too much like the Han people, the skin was yellow, the kind with black and brown in the yellow, a typical "desert face", in addition to a wide robe, on top of their heads, each wearing a small round hat with red and blue stripes.

Xiao Laodao said, these two people from the Western Regions are driving camels for these foreigners, my grandfather looked, not far behind a few people, there are indeed a few strange-looking animals, holding big pockets of small items, are looking down to graze there, see that the head is a little taller than a horse, with a long donkey face, uneven back, and two strange big sarcomas.

When my grandfather and the others came to this group of people, the foreign monk in the black robe walked a few steps, stood between my grandfather and a few foreigners, and spoke first.

It doesn't matter if he opens his mouth, my grandfather was taken aback, I didn't expect this yellow-haired Eryang monk to actually speak the official language of their Great Qing Kingdom.

Monk Yang first looked at my grandfather and a few of them, and asked Xiao Laodao with a hard tongue: "This gentleman is Xiao Benxuan, Mr. Xiao, right?" ”

Xiao Laodao hurriedly hugged his fist at Monk Yang, "Exactly." ”

Hearing this, the foreign monk nodded slightly towards Xiao Laodao, and continued with a hard tongue: "Hello, I am 'Father' Street, you can call me a priest, I am the translator invited by Earl George, responsible for the communication between us...... Communicate. ”

The foreign monk said, turned around and muttered a few words to the beautiful man among the four foreigners, and the guy immediately smiled and walked towards Xiao Laodao, and at the same time, stretched out his right hand towards Xiao Laodao.

My grandfather didn't understand what this foreign devil meant by stretching out his hand towards Xiao Laodao, but Xiao Laodao seemed to understand, first hugged his fist at the foreigner, and then also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the foreigner.

The beautiful man and foreigner muttered a few words to Xiao Laodao, and the foreign monk hurriedly translated on the side.

The general meaning of this foreigner's words is that his name is George, and he is the funder of this expedition, that is, my grandfather's employer, and he is very interested in the mysterious civilization of the Western Regions, and hopes to cooperate happily with my grandfather and them this time.

Hearing this foreign devil named "George" say this, Xiao Laodao smiled and said politely to him. 360mobe The Last Ghost Hunter

Subsequently, the foreign monk introduced the other three foreigners to my grandfather. Only then did my grandfather know that the malevolent-looking foreigner, named Pound, was also employed by George as the captain of the expedition, and all operations were under his command. The other two big sturdy guys, one named Smith and the other Jones, were George's personal bodyguards.

My grandfather didn't think anything else, but I thought the names of these foreign devils were too confusing and difficult to remember. Xiao Laodao quietly handed him a simple method, the employer, that is, George, can call him "dumplings", his two bodyguards can call them "dead or not" and "poor dead", and the yaksha-faced bearded Pang De can call him "lying on his stomach", so it is easy to remember.

My grandfather laughed when he heard it.

However, my grandfather doesn't know that these are just their surnames, not their names, and foreign devils generally don't let others call his name directly when they don't know each other.

This is called "lying on his stomach" beard, always rolling his eyelids when looking at people, looking like he is underbeaten, obviously looking down on my grandfather and their yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese.

This employer "dumplings" is quite kind, with a bit of gentlemanly demeanor, it seems that in their country, it should be from a big family, what kind of "earl", his two bodyguards "dead or not" and "poor dead" have a serious face, that look at people is always unpredictable, and after a long time, you can stare out of a cold sweat.

After getting to know each other, Xiao Laodao asked Monk Yang when he would leave. The foreign monk said that the people have not yet arrived, and when the people of the "sand wolf" come, they will set off - the last ghost hunter -
