"Xia Ye is really amazing! You're right. My brother has seen the corpses of modern people in many tombs, and many of them did not die at all, but were shot in the back, hammered, etc., almost all of them died together in the grave and were born into the hands of their own people. The catalyst you're talking about is simple, money. In order to monopolize the treasures in the tomb, there are many cases of killing companions. Ah Shun glanced at Ah Shun, and then said: "Those two boxes of treasures should be so that future generations will see them and forget their righteousness, and tempt them to kill each other." ”

"Of course, there are many people who go to the grave who are uncles, nephews, brothers, and can withstand temptation. So these two boxes of treasures are not simply a catalyst, but also a trick. Many people will selectively ignore other things around them when they see something that appeals to them. Ming Tu's purpose is to keep Sugi's body, and he needs to make sure that Suri's body is in the yin position before ascending. And these two boxes of treasures can make future generations ignore the ancient corpse to the greatest extent. "The cigarette butt lit up and dimmed with my breathing, and the human heart was really scary sometimes. Ming Tu is worthy of being the proud disciple of the first generation of the Holy Dragon Patriarch, and he is an outstanding talent in terms of Taoism, scheming, endurance and insight.

"Young man, you're not simple. Basically, I have the same opinion as the old man, and some issues are not even as clear as the old man. Ming Tu is indeed a rare talent, but his character and virtue are embarrassing and useful, and it was very correct for Long Fengdu to expel him from the sect back then. Patriarch Bai said to me.

"Patriarch Bai, as you said, Ming Tu was expelled from the sect by the old man of Longfengdu back then, and the second half of the legendary ancient silk book should not be on him. Why are you here again? The fourth master asked.

"Back then, after Xu Fu handed over the 'great secret' told by Guiguzi to Old Man Long, he specially told him that this matter was related to the lives of the people in the world and should not be passed on. Therefore, the secret was passed down by word of mouth between the current patriarch and the successor patriarch, and outsiders did not know it at all. Thousands of years of single-line communication have made it difficult to retell many of the original details. Especially after arriving in modern society, the development of the sect has been blocked, and it has encountered ten years of turmoil, ghost clan sneak attacks, etc., so although the old man is the current patriarch, he does not fully understand the secret. The old man once heard that the next volume of silk books was in Ming Tu's hands, so he rushed here after all the hardships, but found that Ming Tu was not sent here by Old Man Long at all, but absconded. ”

Patriarch Bai pointed at Ming Tu, and then said, "The old man also understands the ghost language spoken by this evil obstacle. Before the fight, he had said that he was forced to come here by Old Man Long. Back then, he spied out a part of the secret, and was discovered by the old man Long, so he snatched the next silk book he guarded, and wanted to kill him again. Ming Tu really can't just hang out here incognito. Although this evil obstacle has done many evils, the old man believes his words. I'm afraid that the classics and rumors in the church are not the truth, so the next volume of silk books may not really be here. ”

"Hmph, people who can use this kind of forbidden technique that hurts the heavens and harms reason to deal with political opponents are naturally not right, and the old man Long has seen through his character, otherwise he will definitely harm the world." The fourth master said.

Patriarch Bai walked up to Ming Tu, who was kneeling on the ground, and carefully touched him, except for the dark green cane and a black jade wrench. "This evil obstacle has been cultivating against the heavens for a long time, and although I don't know why he hasn't ascended yet, his Taoism and ability are no longer something you and I can subdue. This time, if it weren't for the 'Ten Killing Demon Talisman' given to Ah Tu by the ghost uncle, all of us might have to die here. Hurry up and get some dry wood and oil, and you must burn this obstacle as soon as possible!" ”

A few of us quickly piled up what could be lit around. It's just that the journey was hard, a lot of equipment was lost, and there was no fuel to be found, and there was no way to ignite the fire. The scholar hurriedly took off the jacket on his body, lit it directly with a lighter, and was still on the pyre. Tiny small flames slowly spread and grow, gradually igniting the fire. Patriarch Bai kicked Ming Tu into the fire, muttering something we didn't understand. Ming Tu's corpse soon turned into a fireball, emitting puffs of black smoke and a disgusting smell around it. A generation of heroes has disappeared like this, and I don't know if I will be more comfortable after knowing the fate of Ming Tu, who has suffered a lot in the yin position.

The scholar was still indignant for Zhu Li, and the Bai patriarch said: "Ming Tu has turned into ashes, and the anti-heaven formation has been broken. If there is no one on the soul jade bed in the raw position, the spell on the corpse of the yin position will slowly lose its effect, and the Heavenly Dao will naturally notice that there is something wrong here, and it will slowly correct it. The soul of the monk will also disperse and return to the six realms. ”

"This cane and the jade wrench are both ominous things, and if you keep them, I am afraid that they will bring misfortune to future generations, so it is better to destroy them together." Patriarch Bai casually threw his cane and jade wrench fingers into the fire. The anxious scholar and Lao Xu scratched their ears and cheeks together, eager to take the chestnuts in the fire and snatch the two treasures back. Fortunately, I was pulled by me and slowly comforted for a long time, which stopped the emotions of the scholar and Lao Xu.

The fire gradually became smaller, and the surroundings gradually darkened. Patriarch Bai saw that everyone was almost resting, so he urged us to leave together: "There is a cave behind the seat, there are steps inside, everyone and the old man can walk along the steps together, and you can leave this chieftain tribe." ”

All the way to the present, the Cao family was not reconciled, and the smooth brothers, at the instigation of the scholars, the three of them took the risk of turning back to the fourth floor of the ancient tower. Because the two boxes of treasures were too heavy, the Shunli brothers and the scholar had to pick out some valuable small treasures and put them in one of the jade boxes and moved them back. After the scholar came back, he kept complaining that he was too comfortable and lacked exercise in the past, otherwise he would have moved another jade box back. Lao Xu was very helpless, kept shaking his head, watching so many priceless cultural relics being stolen in front of his eyes but unable to do anything, and kept sighing in a low voice: "Hey, it's really useless and incompetent, an archaeologist is actually in the same league with these tomb robbers?" ”

I walked over, patted Lao Xu's shoulder, and whispered, "Lao Xu, I understand your feelings. It's just that the situation is special now, don't get too into the horns, wait for us to go out, I'll persuade Linglong to see if I can hand over those treasures to the state. You immediately organize an archaeological team to kill and come back and salvage this place. ”

The fourth master also found out and said, "The top priority is to get out of here as soon as possible." Ah Tu has been gone for a while, and I'm afraid that the people of the ghost clan will kill each other. Now Patriarch Bai and I are both injured, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with them. ”

Everyone naturally understood the stakes, and immediately packed up their things, and under the leadership of Patriarch Bai and the fourth master, they went into the winding hole. The steps under this cave were built in a hurry, and they were not neat, and even uneven. I see, there should have been a naturally formed internal cavity here, and all the steps were built according to the trend of the cavity, otherwise it would be difficult to build such a project, not to mention the ancient chieftain tribe, even in modern society. The passage is long, up and down. The headlamp was running low, the light was very dim, and slowly it began to become boring and tired, and the brain seemed to stop running, and the legs mechanically followed the person in front of him.

I don't know how long I walked, there was a cheer in front, and when I looked up, I found a small point of light in the distance.

"The exit is almost here, come on, everyone!"

Everyone was like a soul returning to their bodies, full of strength at once, all the fatigue was swept away, and they ran together.

It was a nice feeling to get out of that little hole, the sun was shining on your face, and everyone was lying on the ground, gulping in the fresh air! In the past, I always felt that everyone had to keep fighting, constantly fighting, longing for money, status, fame, and power, and at this moment I realized that happiness is the fresh air, the warm sunshine, and the relaxed body and mind.

After resting for a while, I saw that this place was still in the desert, except for some vegetation at the entrance of the cave, and there was a long stretch of yellow sand not far away, and it was difficult to identify the direction.

When I set out, I took a lot of equipment with me, and I thought it would be foolproof, but I lost my armor along the way, and now I have no other supplies except a few compressed biscuits and water. Although the smooth brothers still have two pistols in their hands, and we also have military stabbing daggers, but in the vast desert here, where is there any prey to fight? When the food and water run out, everyone will die here. Everyone has nothing to do, and they are at a loss.

"We can't just sit back and see where we want to go." The fourth master spoke.

I lost all my phones, and I was left with a compass, and now I kept turning around. Fortunately, Lao Xu's watch seems to be still functioning. According to Lao Xu's method, the watch is flattened, the hour hand points to the sun, and the reverse of the hour hand and the bisector of the 12 o'clock scale is the north.

There is a direction, but we don't know where we are, where are we going?

Linglong said: "I remember that after we came down from the Lianhuo Expressway, we followed the trail all the way into the Lop Nur area, and then entered the hinterland and walked west for nearly 10 hours. Generally speaking, people walk at a speed of 5-10 kilometers per hour, and we walk about 70 kilometers west on average. Lop Nur is more than 400 kilometers long from east to west and about 250 kilometers from north to south, so it seems that Ruoqiang County in the southwest is too far to keep up. We should go southeast, it will be easier to get out of this 'sea of death'. ”

So far, Linglong's analysis seems to be correct. This season is not a good time to venture in Lop Nur, although the temperature is in the 30s during the day, it is basically below 0 degrees at night, so it is better to fight than to starve, thirst or freeze to death. Everyone rearranged the water and food and brought them with them. I made a rough estimate that if I used it sparingly, I would probably be able to last two or three days.
