Chapter 82: A Trip to the Desert
Several of us got into the camel team prepared for us by Lao Ba, and went all the way to the west, going straight to the coordinates of the location of the dragon head of the Qinglong position that Ye Jianguo had already marked on the map!
"Second master, the place you are going to is an oasis, there is nothing special!" The locals are not at a loss to the locals, so they glanced at the coordinates on the map, and the old eight asked the owner of the Buddhist appliance shop in confusion!
"Hehe, old eight, we have our own reasons for going to this place this time, is it possible that every time I act, I can only do those businesses that make people rich!" As soon as the owner of the Buddhist utensils shop heard Lao Ba ask like this, he immediately laughed and teased!
"Hehe, I haven't seen my brother for a long time, it seems that my brother's surname has changed. I thought you'd be here again in the ancient city of Persia! Looks like I'm blind! When Lao Bayi heard the words of the owner of the Buddhist utensils shop, he immediately smiled perfunctorily!
"Brother, don't listen to these two tomb robbers, the two of them are likely to have secret words in their words, I think this Buddhist shop owner, this time he came to help us dig the grave, he was so well prepared!" The blind man Li heard the conversation between the owner of the Buddhist utensils shop and the eighth child, so he immediately approached me and whispered, and pouted, asking me to see the camels on the two camels in the back!
To tell you the truth, I didn't know anything about what the proprietors of the Buddhist shop were doing, but at a glance, I knew that this guy must be the master who was going to dig a hole in the desert, and the two camels on their backs were all tools for making holes.
Just after the blind man Li just finished speaking, Magu also came over, and then said in a low voice, "Uncle Li is right, I think the owner of the Buddhist furniture shop seems to have other ideas when he comes this time, we are going to dig one of people's ancestral graves, why bother so much!" Moreover, the tools I brought are all imported, all in foreign languages, and I can't understand anything! ”
As soon as Magu finished speaking, Ye Jianguo also came to our side, but his words really poured cold water on Magu and the blind man Li, "You people, you really spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the ancestral grave we went to dig this time is definitely not the ancestral grave of ordinary people, and if we want to cut off the backer of that ghost and completely punish the main envoy of the background, we will not only dig up his ancestral grave, but also destroy the structure of his tomb, so as to achieve the effect of making them hurt their vitality!" ”
Just after Ye Jianguo finished speaking, the owner of the Buddhist furniture shop immediately turned around and smiled at a few of us, it seems that he heard a few of us talking, but this old and cunning guy did not come to refute the blind Li and Magu in person, but let Ye Jianguo act as his gun, I saw that everyone heard it, I also felt very embarrassed, so I immediately smiled and nodded to him and apologized!
There is no important conversation along the way, that is, when everyone feels silent, the blind Li will tell some yellow jokes from time to time to relieve everyone's boredom, but he often lets Magu's powder hammer! And just like that, I watched the sun rise and set three times above our heads.
However, one night when Ye Jianguo and I were in charge of guarding, I really saw Ye Jianguo's ability, because, two nights ago, we could hear the wolf howl, Ye Jianguo judged that we were being followed by the wolves in the desert, and according to his judgment, today should be the one that the wolves chose to attack!
"Third brother, don't panic for a while, leave everything to me to deal with, remember, tonight's matter must not be publicized!" Ye Jianguo didn't wait for me to agree, he changed into a Taoist robe in the blink of an eye, like a person who has attained the Tao with a fairy wind and bones! What's more, he took off in an instant! Then, he flew straight towards a pair of green eyes not far from us! Needless to say, it's a wolf that ambushes the head there!
At this time, the hair that frightened me exploded, and in an instant, dozens of wolves surrounded Ye Jianguo, I originally thought that there could be a few, but I didn't expect that if I counted carefully, it would be close to a hundred! I remembered Ye Jianguo's words, I watched from a distance, and saw that Ye Jianguo seemed to be talking to the head wolf and didn't know what to say, and the dozens of wolves actually ran away with their tails between them! When Ye Jianguo returned to me, I asked him what he said, and he only said that it was impossible to divulge it! Naturally, I didn't ask!
The next day, we continued on our way, and just when I was feeling a little desperate, suddenly an oasis appeared in front of us! I am not exaggerating when I say despair, if you ride a camel on a desert for three days, and you see nothing but yellow sand, you will definitely have the same feeling as me that you are about to come to the brink of collapse!
I had already tumbled off the camel at this time, and although it hurt a little to fall on the hot yellow sand, I still got up desperately and rushed towards the oasis, and I could clearly hear the voice of the blind Li and the others laughing at me behind me, but I still plunged into the water! Enjoy the joy of arriving at your destination! I named this pool the hope pool in the future, don't think that I am prosperous, there is a reason for this, look back, you will know!
"Third brother, we're here!" Ye Jianguo looked at the coordinates on the map and said meaningfully, at this time I heard his voice, and quickly raised his head that was still in the water! The reason why Ye Jianguo called me third brother was because I didn't tell him about Bai Wuchang and Zhao Gongming, and he thought he was my eldest brother!
I saw that I was now alone in the water, and everyone else was drinking with the water in their hands, and the old man took out a sheepskin bag to fill it with water, and when I saw this, I immediately climbed up from the pool and sat on the shore, but I felt that the hot sand under my ass seemed to dry my pants in an instant! I was about to speak when the owner of the Buddhist utensils shop next to me spoke!
"Let's get ready now, and when the day falls, we'll get to work! Straight to the Yellow Dragon! ”
"What, it's ?????? to do it" I was just about to express my doubts, and the eighth child immediately explained it to me.
"The reason why we want to do it at night is completely because we take into account the psychology of the tomb owner, because he will definitely want to rob his tomb, and he will definitely do it during the day, because at that time the yang energy is the heaviest, so he will put the most powerful mechanism at that time, so we have to do it at night, that is, when the tomb owner thinks it is safest!"
"What, you're talking about viper grass, a plant mechanism that fires poisonous needles during the day whenever it encounters a hot-blooded animal?" As soon as Ye Jianguo heard what the eighth child said, he immediately wanted to confirm it!
"Yes, you're right, in this desert, the most powerful mechanism is not the storm, not the poisonous snake beast, but the tiny plants, although the front ones I said are fierce and powerful, but we can prevent them, and the latter one is killing people invisibly! I sometimes wonder if Viper Grass is a creature on Earth! The owner of the Buddhist utensils shop said mysteriously.
"Second master, your suspicions are not unreasonable, I also asked the elders, they said, maybe they are lonely, they have never heard of the viper grass plant, let alone seen it, and it is possible that those who have seen it are not alive! It is said that at that time, the country dropped nuclear bombs because they found forces in the desert that they could not control, it could be aliens, or it could be below! "The eighth brother said this, so I won't talk about it! Of course, we know that what he is talking about below is the underworld or the soul!
Hearing them describe a plant like this really made me shudder, I immediately unconsciously shivered, Magu thought that I jumped into the water and caught a cold, so she immediately took the coat from the camel and put it on me, but I still let Ye Jianguo see it clearly, and he immediately patted me on the shoulder and said
"Third brother, don't worry, the viper grass will wither after it falls, there are a few of us who can consider the dangers, we will take it into account, but those dangers that we can't consider are fatal, and it will depend on you then!" When Ye Jianguo said this, the eighth child immediately cast a surprised look at me, if Ye Jianguo hadn't said this, the eighth would probably think that I was here to play!
Magu and Monk Hua, the blind Li doesn't need to say, what kind of kung fu do I have, it is estimated that they are all clear, Ye Jianguo also learned my skills at that dinner, not to mention the owner of the Buddhist shop, I should be the first blue-blooded person he has seen, and I am also the person who subverts many of his values!
Just when the eighth was surprised, the owner of the Buddhist utensils shop immediately spoke, "The eighth child, don't judge people by their appearance, this little brother is the best one in this!" The following things you just said are probably not afraid of us, but when you see the little brother, you will retreat! ”
"Hey, the second master is exaggerating, if I am really as powerful as you say, I won't let everyone walk with me this time, by the way, the eighth brother, you just mysteriously said the power below, what's going on?" I asked curiously!
"Okay, I see it's still early for the sun to set, so I'll tell you a story about this desert??????" The eighth is talking like this!
In ancient times, the development of the Silk Road far exceeded our imagination, it even reached its peak, so that the desert made way for it, many merchants in order to make a fortune on the Silk Road, have built a lot of construction, in order to build post stations and cities, the vast Gobi Desert has become a plain!
It was at this time that a great Persian merchant built the Golden City, and of course, such a valuable city must be best secured, so he built his own army! He originally planned to build a post station, but he didn't expect to build an out-and-out country in the end, but he didn't have the frame of an emperor and a general, and he was still a philanthropist, and as a result, one day when he was patrolling the city, he found a monk in rags, and he was already dying of hunger! He immediately found someone to save the ragged monk! Moreover, he was invited into the palace and was hospitalized!
In return, when the monk left, he was given three tips, and this person was the later Bodhidharma ancestor! One of the three tips he gave was related to the treasure that Luo Ye found at that time!
