Chapter 13: The Land of the Dead
Hou Zifeng leisurely walked around the underground market, and slowly walked to the stall in the corner, in front of the stall in the corner, there was a middle-aged man, looking at the clothes, it should be local, Hou Zifeng didn't understand the local language, so in the end he had to let Uncle Battle act as a translator. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Uncle, you help me tell him that I need twelve people's equipment, and I need a full set." Hou Zifeng looked at Battle and told him what he wanted.
Battle nodded, then looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of the stall. What is being said in Tibetan?
The two of them are like this, you and I are talking endlessly, as if they are bargaining. Finally, the middle-aged man sitting on the ground stood up, stretched out his hand and shook it with Battle, it should be the final price deal.
"I told him that a friend of mine often picks up goods here, and the price of the final transaction is quite reasonable." Battle looked at Hou Zifeng with a smile.
Hou Zifeng nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Battle, every time I come here, I have to trouble you." He looked at Battle earnestly.
"Haha, if you hadn't rescued me with your master before, I would have become a dry skeleton under the yellow sand, why are you still telling me this." Battle shook his head.
After giving the money to the stall owner, the stall owner told them that he would deliver the things to their resting place before noon tomorrow, and after leaving the address, Battle walked outside with Hou Zifeng and Zhang Huanqing.
As soon as he walked out of the secret door, he saw the chubby old man sitting at a table near the secret door, drinking tea leisurely there, after seeing Hou Zifeng and them come out, the old man slowly put down the teacup and looked at Hou Zifeng with a smile, "How is it, virtuous nephew, have you bought what you want?" “
"Well, I bought it, and the price is reasonable." Hou Zifeng nodded.
"Haha, Ima, come here." The old man turned his head and shouted to the back, and a middle-aged man who was not tall walked over, the person looked a little thief-eyed, his face was a little dark, and Hou Zifeng had a feeling of wanting to beat him.
"This is a tour guide who knows the surrounding environment best on our side, where are you going, just let him take you there." The fat old man introduced the middle-aged man named Yima to Hou Zifeng.
"Where are you going, as long as it is a place I know, I will be able to take you to find it." Yima hung her chest and assured her in a broken Chinese.
Hou Zifeng nodded, and did not hide anything, and directly told the fat old man and Yima their purpose this time, the black mountain range.
The fat old man looked puzzled, as if he had never heard of this name, and Yima thought about it carefully, and suddenly, Yima's face became ugly, and then he shook his head desperately, "No, I can't go to that place, I can't go." “
The fat old man frowned, this person was introduced by him, but now he said that he couldn't go, which made him very shameless.
Hou Zifeng looked at Yima with a puzzled expression, "Why?" Is there anything there? “
Yima's face was still the same fear as before, and she stammered back, "It's a place of death, no one can come out of it alive, because of the serious desertification of the ground, so sandstorms often occur, and the holy mountain you said is in the depths of the desert, because of the sandstorm, if you can't replenish water in time, you will die of thirst inside." Also, there are countless strange insects in there, and if I go, I won't be able to walk half the distance, and they will all die there, and I can't go, and I can't go. Ima looked at everyone with some excitement.
Hou Zifeng and the others all frowned, what Yima said was similar to what they had experienced when they went before, but this time they had to go there to find the ancient tomb of the Xia Dynasty, turned their heads to look at the fat old man, and found that the fat old man was frowning and thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Yima coldly, "Get out!" Don't let me see you. “
When Imma heard the fat old man's words, she shuddered for a moment, and then ran out as if she had been granted amnesty.
"I smiled, I didn't expect to find a coward, in this way, you go back first, I'm looking for someone to ask, to see if anyone is willing to go, when the time comes, I will ask him to come directly to you to find you." The fat old man sighed and said helplessly.
Hou Zifeng nodded, "Then I'll trouble you." With that, he turned and left.
In the car, Hou Zifeng looked helpless, "Uncle, is it really that terrible there?" He asked Battle, who was driving in front of him, helplessly.
Battle, who had been silent before, sighed, "I was supposed to be young and bold at that time, and I always thought about places that others didn't dare to go, so I went to try it myself, so I entered the legendary land of death, I have lived here for decades, and I think I still know a lot about the geography here, but you also saw it, I almost died in it, if your master hadn't rescued me, would you still be able to see me now?" So I advise you not to go there, it's too dangerous. "Battle kindly advised Hou Zifeng not to go there.
Hou Zifeng shook his head, "There are very important things in it, so we have to go in, if the fat old man doesn't send someone here, we will go in by ourselves, it's just a broken desert, I want to see how dangerous it is, dare to call it a place of death." Hou Zifeng said firmly.
"Hey!"
When they returned to the hotel, they found that Xiao Huan and they were still sleeping, and after eating something simply, Hou Zifeng and Zhan Huanqing went back to their rooms to rest. After returning to the room, Hou Zifeng couldn't fall asleep over and over, always thinking about the previous things, no one wants to be a guide for them now, in this way, for them who don't know the distance in the desert, it is definitely a very big problem, and there are some strange creatures in the desert, he doesn't know how many people he brought out this time can go back alive. After thinking about it, he sighed, "Let it be!" ”
Early the next morning, Hou Zifeng was woken up by Xiao Huan as usual.
"Where did you go yesterday?"
"Did you find anyone?"
"You ......"
A series of questions sounded in Hou Zifeng's ears like a cannonball, and Hou Zifeng was about to go crazy.
"I said eldest sister, can you let people sleep peacefully, you are still so active, let me tell you, after entering the desert, you talk so much and waste so much saliva, it will only make you the first to hang up." Hou Zifeng looked at Xiao Huan and said fiercely.
