Chapter 838: Into the Desert
At nine o'clock in the morning, Dawei came to the village with a convoy, and the people from the major sects got into the car together, and Zhang Zhenren and I stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, counting the number of people.
When all the major sects came out of the ancestral hall, Luo Fei appeared in front of me.
I didn't come back to my senses for a while when I saw her, I just felt that she didn't seem to be the same today as usual, Luo Fei always gave me a sense of peace, but now she has a more playful appearance, as if even her appearance is not the same as in the past.
She looked a bit like a fairy now.
When I thought about it, I realized what had happened.
But before I could speak, she quickly approached me, grabbed a small piece of skin from my waist, and twisted it hard.
"Damn, it hurts!"
She was immediately happy: "Haha, it feels the same as before!" ”
I stared at her, and it took me a while before I remembered to speak, "Are you a fairy?" ”
"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?"
I glanced in the direction of the eastern sky, and the morning sun at nine o'clock was hanging in the east, crawling towards the center of the sky dome little by little.
At this point in time, Xian'er should have just gotten up, didn't the head of the Sky Cloud Dao say that after Luo Fei and Xian'er get a new life, it will take a while to adapt?
I frowned and asked Xian'er, "Are you okay?" ”
Xian'er: "What can I do, it's okay now." Don't say it, Luo Fei has spent a lot of effort on herself over the years, I feel that she has a lot of strength in this small body! ”
"No," I scratched my scalp and said to her, "you're getting used to it so quickly?" ”
Xian'er grinned at me: "Of course, this girl is a companion soul, and she will adapt to it at once." You don't have to worry about Luo Fei, she's already relieved. ”
Both of them are stronger than I imagined, originally I thought that it would take them at least a few months to get used to the current situation, but I didn't expect it to ease up so quickly, but I, now looking at Xian'er's face, still a little unable to come back to my senses.
"Alright, let's go." Xian'er urged while pushing my back and pushing me towards the convoy: "There is no one behind, don't delay everyone's time here." ”
Until I was pushed into the car by Xian'er, I was still confused in my mind, Zhang Zhenren, Kongyun Daochang and Mr. Yao and I were in the same car, the driver was Senior Brother Zhuang, after Xian'er got me into the car, he ran towards a small pickup truck driven by Liu Shangang.
I rolled down the window to look at Xian'er, and when I saw her bouncing as she walked, I scratched the root of my ear a little anxiously.
Zhang Zhenren said to me with a smile: "Why, you haven't adapted to it yet, the two little girls have better adaptability than you." ”
I know Zhang Zhenren is joking, but I still can't laugh, I don't know why, I always have a feeling that Xian'er's current cheerful appearance was deliberately made to show me, as if she wanted to reassure me.
Senior Brother Zhuang also looked at Xian'er in the rearview mirror, and then patted me on the shoulder: "Xian'er and Luo Fei are both good girls, and you are also blessed." When this is over, give them a name. ”
I nodded, leaned back in the back of my chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether Xian'er's cheerfulness was deliberately made, seeing that she and Luo Fei were fine, the stone in my heart finally fell.
Before leaving, Senior Brother Zhuang took out four points of documents from the armrest box.
"Time is tight, let's just watch in the car." Senior Brother Zhuang handed me one of the documents as he spoke.
He started the car and continued, "Before entering the tomb, our main enemy is the wind and sand in the desert. We have received reliable information that the mercenaries of the Burial Sect have taken advantage of the wind season to enter the desert, and it is very likely that they will ambush us halfway through the wind and sand. ”
At this time, the car had already started, and while reading the documents, I asked Senior Brother Zhuang: "From what direction did the mercenaries enter the country, and didn't you stop them?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "You got to the point, so far, we don't know how those mercenaries entered the country, and the organization plans to completely close the net of the funeral forces in various places, let me ask your opinion." ”
I raised my head and glanced at Senior Brother Zhuang, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not noticing my eyes.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Whether this happens or not, it's time to close the net." Take it. ”
Senior Brother Zhuang held the steering wheel in one hand and took out his mobile phone with one hand, only then did I realize that his mobile phone had been on the phone, he pressed the hands-free and said very briefly: "Perform Operation Nine." ”
As soon as Senior Brother Zhuang's voice fell, a busy sound came from the other end of the phone.
Putting away my phone, Senior Brother Zhuang concentrated on driving the car, while I focused on the document he gave me.
The document deals with the current situation in Lop Nur and the deployment of forces in the desert.
It says that the Order has found an entrance to the Tomb, but due to the strong wind and sand around the Tomb, the Order has dug a passage through the outer edge of the Wind Belt that leads to the outer edge of the Tomb.
As early as more than a month ago, the organization has sent people to the tomb to investigate, due to the complex situation in the tomb, the organization sent people in the past did not go deep, and now it is not sure whether this tomb is located directly below the Sun Tomb, in addition to Senior Brother Zhuang also made a note on this document, he believes that the news given by Wang Dafu in the early years may be wrong, and the tomb that sealed the ghost gate may not be Boyi's tomb.
The reason is that there are a large number of Ming artifacts in the tomb, and it is speculated that the tomb may have been built in the Ming Dynasty, rather than earlier.
The tomb of the Iron Dragon King at the mouth of the Yellow River, the tomb of the Bohai Sea, these two tombs have appeared in the Ming Dynasty, after seeing the handwriting of Senior Brother Zhuang, I deduced that Wudang had been to the tomb in the desert in the Ming Dynasty, and made some arrangements there.
After flipping through this document, I turned to Zhang Zhenren, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, and said: "This tomb in the desert is likely to have been rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, and I estimate that it may be a heavy tomb with a dual structure inside and outside." ”
Mr. Yao raised his head and looked at me: "What is a heavy tomb?" ”
I said, "It's a nested tomb, and the buildings on the periphery of the tomb may be from the Ming Dynasty, while the deeper layers of the tomb were built 3,500 years ago or earlier." I suspect that he rebuilt the tomb in the Ming Dynasty, and the relevant arrangements on the periphery are most likely used to deal with Luo Zhongxing. ”
Zhang Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, try to block Luo Zhongxing in the outer ring of the tomb?" ”
I nodded: "The first ancestor can calculate that Luo Zhongxing is going to open the ghost gate, and he will definitely try his best to fight for us to gain an advantage, I think, on the periphery of the tomb, we can use the advantages he provides to weaken Luo Zhongxing as much as possible." ”
Zhang Zhenren nodded silently, but didn't say anything.
After the convoy set off from Lujia Village, it was deliberately divided into more than 20 teams, and each team entered the highway at an interval of half an hour, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone assembled at the airport.
Departing from Hubei to the capital of Asia, Senior Brother Zhuang compressed the flight to about three hours, and as soon as we got off the plane, we immediately got on the bus, and it took fourteen hours to enter the desert.
In order to allow everyone to rest normally, Mr. Yao took out a large number of tranquilizing pills, each pill was divided into ten equal parts for everyone to take, originally I had no heart to think about rest, my nerves have been in a tense state, as if I didn't feel tired at all, and thanks to Mr. Yao's tranquilizing pill, I was able to sleep normally.
The organization set up a large camp in the desert early in the morning, and as soon as we entered the camp, the first person to run out to pick us up was Wang Dafu.
After a while, he looked much older, and he had to walk on crutches in the desert.
I saw him beckoning to us at the entrance of the camp from a distance, so I motioned for the soldiers who were driving to stop the car, and then quickly got out of the car, and trotted to Wang Dafu, Zhang Zhenren and the head of the Kongyun Dao also got out of the car with me.
I didn't have time to say hello, and when we got a little closer, Wang Dafu shouted at me: "Luo Zhongxing, they may have already gone to the tomb." ”
I suddenly frowned: "When?" ”
Wang Dafu: "The night before yesterday, the soldiers on shift found that someone had entered the ancient city. ”
Mr. Yao: "Why don't you stop it?" ”
Wang Dafu: "I can't stop it, the soldiers found traces of people camping outside the ancient city, and later I asked people to search around the ancient city, but no mercenaries were found." Now we speculate that Luo Zhongxing may have entered the tomb. ”
At this time, Senior Brother Zhuang also came over, and I turned my head to ask him, "Where is the tunnel we dug?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang: "It's near the big camp. ”
I thought about it for a while, and said to Senior Brother Zhuang and Wang Dafu: "Let everyone rest well and go to the tomb before noon." ”
Wang Dafu was a little puzzled: "I said there is a way, I think we should go to the tomb as soon as possible, Luo Zhongxing may have already entered." ”
I said, "My Uncle Xia said that the Mandate of Heaven can only move after three days. With my understanding of Luo Zhongxing, he will not enter the ancient tomb so easily, how much does our camp occupy? ”
Wang Dafu said: "We haven't done the calculations, but we knew early on that you would bring a lot of people, and we deliberately set up a lot of tents when we set up camp." ”
I asked Senior Brother Zhuang again: "Senior Brother Zhuang, didn't you say that our main opponent before entering the tomb was the wind and sand in the desert, and when we entered the tunnel, could we still encounter the wind and sand?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang responded: "I made a divination before I came, and we will encounter a sand tribulation before entering the tomb, just today." ”
I nodded: "I understand, the so-called sand robbery should not be wind and sand, but the mercenary troops under Luo Zhongxing." The area of the camp is not small, and it is easy for Luo Zhongxing's people to find here, so I speculate that the mercenaries will come to rob the camp tonight, if we all enter the tunnel, they will blow up the tunnel after we enter, even if they don't blow up the tunnel, they will follow us in, by the way, how long is the tunnel, and is the space inside open? ”
Senior Brother Zhuang: "It's very long, I haven't asked the specific number of kilometers, the space is narrow, and it is not conducive to combat." ”
When he said that, he already knew what I meant.
But it is still necessary for me to explain to Wang Dafu and them: "The mercenaries all have hot weapons in their hands, and if we fight them in the tunnel, we will inevitably have a large number of casualties before we meet Luo Zhongxing." So, I'm going to make an ambush in the camp and wipe out the Burial Cult's mercenary forces before taking the rest of the group into the tunnels. If in this battle, the opponent's combat power does not include the opponent who is profound, including me, the people of the major sects will not participate in the battle. ”
After speaking, I asked again: "By the way, Senior Brother Zhuang, where did the funeral mercenaries go after entering the desert?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head helplessly: "After they entered the desert, they disappeared, we checked the satellite images, but we didn't find them." ”
I rubbed my chin and said to Senior Brother Zhuang: "It seems that the other party is very cautious, and the means of hiding are also very powerful, we have to make a false appearance that there is no defense in the camp, otherwise the other party may not act rashly." ”
Senior Brother Zhuang: "I'll arrange it." ”
After saying that, Senior Brother Zhuang left in a hurry, Wang Dafu glanced at the convoy behind me, and asked me in a low voice, "Have you found a way to deal with Luo Zhongxing?" ”
