The "Partridge Whistle" refers to several foreigners on the ship, and the "Partridge Whistle" peeked at it for a long time, and felt that these foreigners were suspicious in appearance, and they all had guns hidden in their bodies, and there were several foreign shovels and iron ropes in their luggage, and they gathered together to mutter.

The strangest thing is that these foreigners are not like those that "Partridge Whistle" usually comes into contact with, "Partridge Whistle" knows some foreigners and understands some of their languages, but these foreigners on the ship are neither like the old-fashioned and restrained British, not like the serious Germans, nor like the casual Americans. "Partridge Whistle" looked at it twice, and finally figured it out, it turned out to be a big-nosed old Russian.

"Partridge Whistle" thinks that these Russians may have gone to Blackwater City to dig up antiques, and after the revolution in Russia, many people have been exiled from the country, and their descendants have been mixed in China, not recognizing themselves as Soviets, but calling themselves Russian ropes, and doing some illegal business.

Elder Lichen is also a person who sees and hears in all directions, so he naturally understands the meaning of the words of the "Partridge Whistle", and signals that the "Partridge Whistle" should not act rashly: "What we do is a confidential matter, we must avoid people's eyes and ears, and try not to cause more trouble." ”

"Partridge Whistle" said to Elder Chen: "When the disciple goes over to find out, if these foreign devils also go to Blackwater City to steal treasures, they will be very close to our goal, and they will inevitably get in the way, find a place where no one is around, and kill them easily, so as to save future troubles." ”

Without waiting for Elder Chen's dissuasion, the "Partridge Whistle" squeezed into the crowd and eavesdropped on the Russians, who had six in all, five Russians and one American.

The five Russians, all descendants of Tsarist Russia in exile in China, were in the business of reselling arms, and when they heard that a large number of cultural relics had been unearthed in Blackwater City, they thought it was profitable, and they were ready to try their luck and secretly dig up a few boxes to come back.

The American is a priest in his thirties and forties, who had been to Ningqing and other places to preach a few years ago, and had visited the ruins of Blackwater City during the trip, and the priest had gone around China, preparing to go to Yinchuan and other places again to promote the belief in God and eternal life, and this matter was inadvertently mentioned to the five Russians he met on the road, and those Russians took the opportunity to say that they wanted to do business there, and asked the priest to take them to Blackwater City by the way.

Few people will lie to the clergy, so the priest does not know what is planned, the language between the six of them, the Russians do not speak English, the Americans do not speak Russian, fortunately, both sides have been in China for a long time, can speak Chinese, and they communicate with each other in Chinese.

"Partridge Whistle" listened to a few words, only to hear those people ten sentences three sentences are talking about Blackwater City, the American priest does not know that these people want to dig up cultural relics, what they have seen and heard in Blackwater City, no matter how big or small, all said, saying that the stupa there is half buried in the ground, there are a large number of Buddha statues inside, all inlaid with gold and silver, exquisite shapes, and some Buddha statues are carved with ivory and ancient jade, beautiful and beautiful, that kind of magical craftsmanship, only God's hands can be made.

The five Russians drooled when they heard this, took out the watergar and poured two mouthfuls, eager to put on their wings, and immediately flew to Blackwater City, dug up all those precious cultural relics, and exchanged them for a large number of cigarettes, women, guns and ammunition, and waterga.

"Partridge Whistle" sneered in his heart after listening, "Partridge Whistle" also went to Blackwater City to find the Great Buddha Temple, so he is very familiar with the ruins of Blackwater City, in fact, these big noses don't know, as early as the nineteenth century, Europe has risen a Chinese exploration boom, most of the cultural relics of Blackwater City were stolen and excavated at that time, and now there are only some clay statues and tiles left in the ruins of the city, and most of them are dilapidated, and the American priest does not understand the appreciation of cultural relics, see some colorful clay statues, They said that it was made of ivory and ancient jade, and the Russians believed it.

But when I think about it, no, what kind of eyes do you have to look at the statue of mud and stone as a treasure inlaid with gold and jade? The American priest has no vision, and it is impossible to see such a big error, could it be that the American priest accidentally found the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple? Listening to the description in the words of the American priest, it really looks like a temple buried in the ground.

"Partridge Whistle" thought of this, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to continue eavesdropping on their conversation, suddenly the hull of the boat shook, the whole huge ferry boat in the river to hit a horizontal, more than 100 passengers on the boat are standing unsteadily, as the hull of the boat is crooked, for a time the crying father and mother cry out for pain into a mess.

"Partridge Whistle" was worried about Elder Chen, and couldn't care about those foreigners, in the chaotic crowd, he quickly grabbed Elder Chen's side, and Elder Dust said to "Partridge Whistle": "It's not good, I'm afraid I have encountered something in the water." ”

At this time, only the originally calm river water rolled up like a pot suddenly boiling, the hull of the boat turned in the center of the river, the boatmen and passengers on the boat were all in a mess, and the boat boss took out a pig's head and threw it into the river as if by magic, and put out a plate of roast chicken, lit a few sticks of incense, knelt on the deck, and kowtowed to the river again and again.

But the boat boss's actions did not play any role, the boat was spinning in the river, saying that it could not be driven anymore, the boat boss suddenly had an idea, knelt down for the passengers on the boat, kowtowed and said: "Old and young masters, ladies and wives, ladies and sisters, is it that one of you said something taboo on the boat, the dragon lord can be taken seriously this time, or the dragon lord, none of us want to live...... Who said what? Don't pull everyone together to die, okay? I'm kowtowing to you. After saying that, he banged his head on the deck.

Everyone saw that a huge wall of water had been erected in the river around the boat, and everyone was so shocked that their faces changed, and even if someone said something unspeakable on the boat, there was nowhere to find it.

At a loss, a merchant pointed to a woman with a child in her arms and shouted, "It's her...... It's her...... That's what she said, and I heard it. ”

"Partridge Whistle" and Elder Lichen also looked with the crowd, only to see the merchant grab a woman holding this three or four-year-old child and say, "Her baby is crying vigorously, and this woman is annoyed by the baby's crying, and she says that if the baby wants to cry again, she will throw the baby into the river." ”

As soon as the merchant said this, several people around also said that there was indeed such a thing, and sure enough, it was this woman, her child had been crying since she got on the boat, and the woman coaxed for a long time, and the more she cried, the louder she became, and the people around her felt irritable, and the woman was angry and scared the child: If you cry again, you will be thrown into the river to feed the fish.

It didn't work to scare it, the child was still crying, and at this time, the boat began to spin in the river, and it couldn't move, the woman had never seen anything in the world, where did she know these powers, and at this time, everyone on the boat was staring at the child in her arms, and she was so frightened that she sat on the deck and cried.

The boat boss knelt down for the woman: "Big sister, how dare you say such a non-high and low language on the boat, it's too late to say anything now, you let the dragon lord hear this, the dragon lord is waiting for you to throw the baby into the river, if you don't throw it, our boat will be finished, you can do it." With that, he went to snatch the child that the woman was holding in her arms.

The child is the woman's biological flesh and blood, how can she give up, crying while desperately protecting the child, refusing to let go, but the boat boss is a stout man who runs the boat all the year round, where can a woman snatch him, so she has to ask for help from the passengers around her.

The passengers on the boat were all indifferent to this, everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, this child was thrown into the river, no one wanted to live, or their own lives mattered, although the child was pitiful, but to blame only his mother, who let her talk nonsense on the boat, it was really her own fault, for a while everyone avoided it, no one went to stop it.

When Elder Lichen saw that the boss of the boat was about to throw a three- or four-year-old child into the river, he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to intervene with the "Partridge Whistle" to stop him, but at this time, he snatched a person from the crowd and stopped the captain of the boat.

Holding up the Bible, the American priest said, "Captain, in God's name, I must stop you." ”

If someone else stretched out his hand to stop him, he would have been knocked down by the boss of the boat, and the boss of the boat saw that he was a foreigner, and he didn't dare to offend easily, but the hull of the boat was spinning in the river, and it might capsize at any time, so he glared at the American priest and said: "Don't care, if this baby is not thrown into the river, the dragon lord will have to take us even into the boat, and then your black book will not be able to save your life." ”

The American priest waited to say that he was pulled away by a short, stocky Russian with a red nose: "Father Thomas, don't be nosy, these mysterious rules of the old Orient are very strange, let them do what they want to do, anyway, it's just a Chinese child, otherwise the boat may really capsize." ”

The American priest said angrily: "Mr. Andrew, I can't believe that you would say such a thing, that all men are equal in the eyes of God, and that only the devil would think that it is right to throw children into the river to feed the fish." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the American priest and the Russian named Andrei were arguing with each other, the captain of the boat raised his foot and kicked the woman down, throwing the child under the boat, and the woman fainted with a scream.

Elder Lichen was shocked, and wanted to say that it was too late to let the "Partridge Whistle" save people, although the "Partridge Whistle" didn't want to meddle in things, but when it came to the end, after all, he couldn't see death without help, and before others could see what was going on, the "Partridge Whistle" had already taken out the flying tiger claws and threw them out.

The flying tiger claw is made of stainless steel, the front is like a tiger claw, the joints can be loose or tight, and there is a long rope behind it, which can grab things from a distance, and the "partridge whistle" uses the flying tiger claw to catch the child who fell to the half, and lifted him up with a shake of his hand.

The people on the boat were dumbfounded, and as soon as the "Partridge Whistle" picked up the child, the Russians aimed five black-hole revolvers at the head of the "Partridge Whistle".

The waves in the river are more urgent, the people on the boat are dizzy, it seems that the boat will capsize at any time, a group of Russians have lived in China for a long time, they all know that what the boat boss said is true, or throw the child into the river to feed the king, the boat will not want to move the place, at this time, seeing that the "partridge whistle" has thrown the child down, and pulled it back, they can't help but take out their guns, trying to solve this sideways guy.

The five Russians were just about to shoot, when they heard a burst of machine gunfire, and everyone shrank their necks in fright and looked around, wondering who had shot?

"Partridge Whistle" used ventriloquist to distract them from their minds, threw the child to Elder Dust behind him, and at the same time pulled out two German mirror boxes from his clothes, rubbed the nose of the machine on his thigh, and the "pop papa" bullets swept over like a whirlwind, and the five Russians were shot one after another and fell in a pool of blood.

The people on the boat were stunned, their faces were like earth, they killed five people in an instant, the speed was fast, the marksmanship was accurate, the murderous aura of that body, killing so many people without even blinking an eye, it was really the same as the Rakshasa demon, and the "Partridge Whistle" didn't care what others thought, and threw the corpses of the five Russians into the river by himself.

Isn't there such a saying, gods and ghosts are afraid of the wicked, as soon as the bodies of the five Russians fall into the river, the boat no longer spins, it can move again, and the river that was originally boiling like a pot slowly calms down, and the "partridge whistle" makes the boat boss stop the boat immediately on the north bank.

The boss of the boat was frightened, where did he dare not obey, and led the boatmen, anchored in the gentle part of the river, and lowered the gangplank.

Elder Lichen has already changed the child to the woman, telling her not to talk nonsense again, otherwise she will not be so lucky next time, "Partridge Whistle" knows that he killed five people in front of everyone, this is a big deal, it is not trivial, he must leave the avenue, hurry to the sparsely populated place, when he got off the boat, he took the American priest down, in case he ran into the military police, this American can be used as a hostage, and the American priest and the five Russians were accomplices, and the five Russians were thrown into the Yellow River and their bodies were destroyed, The officials could not find their accomplices, and it was difficult to start tracking them down.

"Partridge Whistle" with Elder Chen, coerced the American priest, and walked away, but fortunately, it was not far from Helan Mountain, and it would take three or four days to walk by land, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, so it was not easy to bump into anyone.

American priest Thomas began to think that he had been kidnapped by two murderers, and he kept preaching God's mercy to them, persuading them to change their ways, especially the old monk, who was kind and kind-eyed, and he couldn't imagine that he would still be kidnapping at such an old age, so it was better to convert to God and believe in God for eternal life.

After walking for three whole days, Thomas found that these two guys, not as if they had kidnapped themselves, they kept walking north, as if they were going somewhere, and the motive was unknown, so he asked where he was going?

"Partridge Whistle" told Father Thomas: "You were deceived by those Russians, and you knew that they wanted to go to Blackwater City to steal cultural relics by looking at the large number of tools they carried, and they heard that you had been to Blackwater City, and had seen the treasures there, so they wanted you to lead the way, and when they arrived at the destination, they would definitely kill you, I saved you, you can be relieved, I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately, and when we go to Blackwater City to do something, then they will let you walk, and now we can't let you go to prevent the rumors from being exposed." ”

The American priest said to the "Partridge Whistle": "Mr. Fast Gunner, you draw your gun as fast as lightning, it is really super chic, and I also found that there is something wrong with those Russians, they said that they were going to open a mine to do business, they originally wanted to dig up Chinese cultural relics, but now God has punished them." ”

"Partridge Whistle" asked the American priest to tell him about the Buddhist temple he had seen in the ruins of Blackwater.

American Father Thomas asked rhetorically, "How?" You also want to dig up artifacts? ”

"Partridge Whistle" was not too disgusted by this priest, so he said to him: "I need to find something important, which is related to the life and death of many people in my people, and it is very secret, and I cannot tell you any more." ”

The American priest said: "OK, I believe your words, a few years ago I went to the ruins of Blackwater City, when I walked nearby, I stepped on quicksand, at that time I thought I was called by the Lord, to see God, but I didn't expect to fall into a Buddhist hall, there are a lot of precious and bright Buddha statues, because I had to rush to preach, I didn't look much and crawled out, and now I go again, I can't find it, but that place is very close to the ruins of Blackwater City, about six or seven kilometers. ”

The words of the American priest confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence of the "Partridge Whistle", and it seems that the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple in Blackwater City is not too deeply buried, as long as you find the right location, it is easy to dig a hole and steal it in.

Legend has it that the Black Water City Tongtian Great Sleeping Buddha Temple, with a huge reclining Buddha, the tomb under the Buddha built a Xuan Temple, ready to be used to bury people, and later was used as a treasure to hide the Xixia court, the goal of "Partridge Whistle" this time, is there.

The ruins of Blackwater City are not difficult to find, there are obvious dilapidated buildings on the ground, and the pagodas are silently recording the glory and magnificence of the year, "Partridge Whistle" and Elder Dust plus the American priest Thomas, when the three of them arrived in Blackwater City, it was almost dusk, and the gray outline of Helan Mountain in the distance was faintly recognizable.

The ruins of Blackwater City, standing in the twilight, seem to be as silent as death, as if death has stifled the breath of all creatures here, and the atmosphere of desolation and silence makes it impossible to imagine that this place was once an important town of the Western Xia generation.

Elder Lichen is a monk, "Partridge Whistle" has been pretending to be a Taoist in the Daomen, and the American Thomas is a priest, this monk and a priest are going to find the treasure cave of the Tanguts near Blackwater City, and even they feel that this is really a strange combination.

In the vicinity of Blackwater City, the three of them waited quietly for the cold moonlight to shine on the earth, this is the northwest plateau, the air is thin, the sky is full of stars, the number and brightness are many times higher than the plain.

Elder Lichen looked up at the celestial star, took out the compass, divided the gold and fixed the acupoint, the giant gate in the sky, the greedy wolf, and the three-star robbery acupoint, all of which were upright and unbroken, and the auxiliary star was as true as the acupoint, and the auspicious was expensive, but the lack of entangling was the acupoint on the ground, and the acupoint on the ground was like a green fly point water hole, and the direction had been found in a moment.

Elder Lichen checked the location, took the "Partridge Whistle" and the American priest to the place by the moonlight like water, pointed to a place on the ground and said: "The Daxiong Treasure Hall in the Temple of the Great Sleeping Buddha in Tongtian is here. But...... It's like there's a one-eyed dragon buried here. ”
