Wei Lai and Huo Meng followed the strange person, who seemed to be aware of it, walked towards the remote place, and after turning into the alley of the house, he stood in place and said behind him: "Two friends have been following for so long, how about coming out to meet?" ”

Huo Meng's expression was furious, he didn't expect to be discovered, and was about to go out to talk, but was stopped by Wei Lai, who said loudly: "Don't go out, he's lying to you." ”

"Lie to me?" Huo Meng didn't react and said suspiciously.

"Let's go, this person is not simple." Wei Lai looked at the figure in front of him and dragged Huo Meng away.

Wei Lai continued to follow, since the other party suspected them, no matter whether the other party found out or not, they would not reveal their secrets, so there was no point in tracking, when the two came to the hotel and sat down, Wei said: "We are far away from him, it is impossible for him to find us, his sense of smell is very keen, just now he did that to induce us to be fooled, and at the same time warn us, no matter whether anyone is following him or not, he will not pay any price, and at the same time can make us vigilant." ”

"It's insidious." Huo Meng drank a cup of tea and said angrily.

Wei Lai smiled bitterly: "He is experience, we are still far behind." ”

Wei Lai made sufficient preparations for this trip, and planned to stay after coming to Xinjiang, and then inquire about the news in the local area, and combined with the knowledge in the books, to have an accurate understanding of Xinjiang, and then the two of them were participating in the tour group, which could also save a lot of unnecessary trouble, after all, Loulan was in the desert, and if he was not fully prepared, his life would be in danger.

After eating, Wei Lai and the two stayed in a hotel next to the train station, where pedestrians from all over the country gathered, and it was best to inquire about the news.

In the evening, Wei Lai and Huo Meng came to the open-air barbecue restaurant, eating special mutton skewers, drinking beer, and chatting with the barbecue master by the way.

"Master, they all say that the desert in Xinjiang is weird, is there really a ghost in it?" Wei Lai and Huo Meng poured their beers and said to the master beside them.

The master spoke inauthentic Mandarin and said: "In recent years, it has become fashionable to see the desert, I don't know what this sand has to look at, and I tell you that you don't believe it, recently, the desert is really weird, and I heard that few people come out of it." ”

Wei Lai became interested and asked, "Master, come and have a few drinks and tell us about it." ”

Seeing that there were no guests, the master sat next to Huo Meng, took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said: "Tell you, there are a lot of people who have been to the desert recently, and you are not the first batch to ask me for news, just say that last time, a group of seven or eight people came to eat with me, saying that they were going to explore the desert, and when they came back, there were only two left, and they were not very conscious. ”

Wei Lai and Huo Meng didn't speak, they poured wine for the master again, and the master finished drinking it again and admonished: "Young man, this desert is very strange, and the legend says that there is a lost world in it, and there are terrible sandworms. ”

"Sandworms." Wei Lai heard such a thing for the first time, and said with some surprise.

The master got up, shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well, but people who have been in the desert have seen it." ”

The two stayed in the hotel for several days, and all they collected were news about sandworms, which did not mean much to the two, and seeing that there was not much gain, the two signed up for a tour group, planning to enter the desert to find the address in the ancient map.

After the tour group signed up, Wei Lai and Huo Meng began to buy props locally, which were indispensable for self-defense and survival, as well as sufficient water and food, as well as small things such as compressed biscuits.

When buying items, Wei Lai found that many people were buying the same things, all of which were prepared for entering the desert, and it seemed that someone was behind them, otherwise how could so many people come to the desert at this time.

Could it be a coincidence? Wei Lai was a little unsure.

After preparing everything, Wei Lai and Huo Meng got up and set off, gathering towards the location of the tour group, and today is the day when the tour group officially enters the desert.

The Taoist priest picked up the peachwood sword in his hand, walked towards Wei Lai, and after a careful observation, he suddenly stepped back in panic and said: "This donor, you, you ......"

The two were in a hurry, and they were not in the mood to deal with the liar on the side of the street, so they walked forward beyond the barrier of the Taoist priest, and before they had gone far, the Taoist priest behind them shouted: "How can you be alive, you are obviously a dead person, right?" ”

After the Taoist priest's words were finished, Wei Lai's body trembled, a bad premonition appeared in his heart, and he stopped and asked, "What did you say?" ”

When the Taoist priest saw Wei Lai coming back, he said again: "I see that you have been dead for a long time, but you are alive in this world, strange things, really strange things." ”

Wei Lai felt chills all over his body, he often doubted the effect of the curse, since he came out of the forbidden barren mountains and found his face on the wall, Wei Lai felt that his fortune was under control, after being reminded by the Taoist priest, he was a little suspicious of the way to break the curse, and it seemed that there was more than that behind this matter.

"I am a dead man" Wei Lai repeated in a low voice, full of doubts about himself at this time, is it really as the Taoist priest said, his life has long been a person who has been dead for a long time.

Huo Meng saw that Wei Lai's expression was wrong, glared at the Taoist priest behind him, pulled Wei Lai and walked forward, and said as he walked: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the curse in your body is right, but it's good to be alive now, even if what he said is right, what's wrong with you being dead, now that you can live is earned, you should feel content." ”

Wei Lai shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "What you said is also right, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, it is a good thing to be alive, and I, the senior official of Wei, do not believe in that evil." ”

"Yes, that's right, but then again, you can do it if you're a charlatan, hey, you're so deceived." Huo Meng walked in front with his luggage, and did not forget to turn around and laugh at Wei Lai.

"." Wei Lai kicked Huo Meng's ass and scolded with a smile in his mouth.

As the barbecue master said, it has become a fashion to travel to Xinjiang, and countless pedestrians come to play every year, some to experience the excitement of survival in the desert, some to watch the magnificence of the sunset in the yellow sand, and some to walk into the poplar forest to find the unknown greatness and shock.

In addition, there are also people who have another purpose, that is, they want to find wealth in the desert, some are old tombs, some are gold, silver and jade that have been obliterated by the desert, no matter what, they have to experience the baptism of the desert and survive to enjoy these things.

Wei Lai and Huo Meng arrived at the meeting place of the tour group, when they saw one of the figures, Wei Lai and Huo Meng looked stunned at the same time, and then recovered, in the crowd, the strange man they followed was impressively in the column, obviously, he was also a member of the tour group.

Wei Lai's eyes narrowed, and he kept wondering in his heart, if he could buy the same props as the two of them, and also participate in the same tour group, could this man's purpose be the same as them?

Just as Wei Lai was thinking, a strange man walked towards Wei Lai and the two.
