Dong Que said: "I understand, so you want to deliberately release the news of the ancient country of Pozi to lure out the guests from the Western Xinjiang?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng nodded: "But the premise is that we must make sure that the route we provide is accurate, otherwise the Western Xinjiang guest is likely to think that we are lying to him, and in the final analysis, I am afraid that we must find the ancient country of Pozi first." ”

Dong Quede's ears were very pointed, and his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about...... We? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Ness!" Dong Que was excited, his fists clenched, and both legs kicked up, "I knew you had vision!" Don't worry, even if my skills are not as good as yours, it is more than enough to be a master for you, if you don't understand anything, just ask me, "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" can solve all your problems. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder, smiled secretly, and then stood up.

"It's enough for you to settle the money thing."

"All right!" Dong Que smiled happily, and didn't care about whether the money was money or not, he hurriedly stood up and followed up. The two men walked along the street in the night, and at the end of the road stood a tall lighthouse, which was transmitting dazzling light in all directions.

The next morning, the two of them got on the green train to Xijiang, but compared with the previous night, Dong Quede's face was no longer so happy and excited, and there was even a trace of lovelessness.

What he didn't expect was that in just a few hours, Zheng Xiaofeng would spend nearly 30,000 yuan on him.

Climbing ropes, waterproof miner's lamps, medical supplies, military shovels...... All kinds of messy things filled three suitcases, this is not the end, some things are not allowed to be brought on the train, Zheng Xiaofeng said that after arriving in Western Xinjiang, he will buy some weapons and equipment for self-defense, and it will inevitably be another expense at that time.

Dong Que was stupid, and now he finally understood why Zheng Xiaofeng suddenly agreed to take him with him.

"Damn, look at your good looks, and it's also a personal thing?" Dong Que sat directly opposite Zheng Xiaofeng and looked at him intently, and couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart. Zheng Xiaofeng just looked out the car window, and he didn't know whether he was looking at the fields or the river, the woods or the clouds, in short, he hadn't said a word since he got on the train.

Dong Que tried to chat with Zheng Xiaofeng a few times, but he didn't get any response, as if he had completed his mission after paying the money, and now he was treated as a dispensable air.

"Damn, just this time, after I find the ancient country of Pozi, I want to be able to cooperate with this force again, I'm a dog!" Dong Que was vicious, but secretly thought.

No one can say whether Zheng Xiaofeng is a sanctimonious person, he will definitely not be able to do that kind of thing that harms others and benefits himself, but after a major change, how much of his heart can still be retained, this is obviously an unknown. The only thing that is certain is that the current Zheng Xiaofeng does not feel the slightest joy in finding a wronged boss who is willing to pay, and what has always shrouded him in his heart is a deep sadness to the extreme.

"Dad, Mom, brother, I will definitely find the murderer and avenge you......"

In the past, Zheng Xiaofeng never thought that he would have any intersection with the legendary treasure thief world, but from now on, the four evildoers, the sixteen thieves, I am afraid that they will have to find opportunities to "visit" one by one, no one can say what will happen in the future, maybe he will fall into this endless dark world forever, and he will never return to the previous road.

"So what? Anyway, I've gotten to the point where I am today, as long as I can get revenge, there's nothing else to care about......"

Dong Que had to say that his master was also one of the sixteen thieves, and theoretically he could also be a murderer, but Zheng Xiaofeng didn't think he was suspicious for the time being, because since there was a strange book like "Hundred Ghosts at Night" in any door, there should be no need to take risks to fight for that ancient book.

"Yin and Yang people - Jiang Zhonghan people, exclude." Zheng Xiaofeng drew a horizontal bar on the list in his heart.

About thirty hours later, the two of them got off the bus in Xijiang City, and after another purchase, counting the two boxes that Dong Que had to carry, the equipment had increased to seven suitcases. This can be regarded as an experience summed up by Zheng Xiaofeng in the Tarim Mountains, that is, weapons and equipment are really important. The two of them rented a small truck, bought a topographic map of Xijiang Province, and prepared to officially march to the desert.

"Xijiang, I'm back again."

During this period, the only thing Zheng Xiaofeng said to Dong Quede was: "Why do you have to carry that box of books with you all the time, so that you don't feel burdensome?" ”

Dong Que said that there were too many contents in this book, he couldn't write them all down, and only by carrying them with him could he solve all possible emergencies, and even if he really needed to run away in an emergency, he could completely throw away the book, and there was a backup on the mountain.

Zheng Xiaofeng said in his heart, if you are generous, you can buy an electronic device, and you don't have to carry a whole box of books around all day long. It seems that their master is also a master of money, no wonder he can teach an apprentice like him.

According to the ancient books, they first had to enter from the easternmost part of the Tarim Desert to the west, and from the map, the approximate location should be near a small county town called Shahe. From Xijiang to Shahe, it took two people nearly three hours to drive.

By the time the two of them officially saw the so-called desert, it was already nearly dusk.

The two did not choose to stop in the county town for a while, but filled the car with gas and decided to continue their journey at night.

The desert temperature at night is still relatively cool, or rather, it is only the outer part of the desert, not a desert in the true sense. There was no road in the direction they were heading, and the car had to travel on the sand, relying on a compass to identify the route. The so-called "Moon Village" is not marked on the map, and I asked Baidu and the locals to get no results, maybe the village has long been renamed to other names, or it has disappeared into the long river of history.

Whatever the truth is, it is up to them to verify it themselves.

Zheng Xiaofeng and Dong Que took turns driving, and in the second half of the night, a shallow lake appeared in view.

Dong Que had to park the car by the lake and wake up Zheng Xiaofeng, both of them were a little tired from the journey, and decided to get out of the car first to move their muscles. The shallow lake was about the size of half a football field, and the two of them walked to the lake and washed their faces, and the cool lake water slapped on their faces, and their spirits were boosted a lot.

Dong Que said: "Originally, I was ready to dehydrate when I entered the desert this time, who would have thought that such a big lake would emerge before the water we brought was drunk, I feel that our trip should be very smooth." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng was still silent, quietly looking at his own reflected face in the lake, the bottom of the lake was the shining stars in the sky, and time seemed to return to the Pacific Ocean three years ago. It's just that Zheng Xiaofeng still had a slight smile on his face when he looked at his shadow at that time, but now this face looks extremely unfamiliar, and there was even a moment when Zheng Xiaofeng was about to lose his recognition.

Probably, the boy three years ago has died, along with Meng Yun and Xiao Sa, in a place called Huxin Manor.

Dong Que sighed, lay on the sand in a big shape, glanced at Zheng Xiaofeng's back, and said weakly: "Brother, just say a word to me, you are either sleeping or in a daze all the way, I almost thought that I was pulling a dead man." ”

"Your words are basically nonsense, I don't know how to take them." Zheng Xiaofeng turned his head compassionately, his eyes were cloudy and said, "This is not the depths of the desert, it is normal to have water, and we will only usher in the real challenge in two or three days, do you say that your "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Urn" is so godly, does it not even have these basic common sense?" ”

Dong Que said "hi" and said, "Don't I just want to chat with you, think more in a good direction, cheer yourself up?" ”

"I prefer to be cautious rather than blindly confident." Zheng Xiaofeng said meaningfully.

"Okay, be cautious, where is this, be careful that all your brain cells are dead."

Dong Que closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head comfortably, and didn't pay attention to it anymore. Zheng Xiaofeng grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the lake, smashing it on his "face".

I don't know how long it took, Dong Quede's eyes suddenly opened, he sat up suddenly, looked around, and then hurriedly sat down next to Zheng Xiaofeng, looking at him worriedly. Zheng Xiaofeng glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Dong Que said mysteriously: "Didn't you just say that you should be cautious? Tsk, I think this place is a bit weird. ”

When Zheng Xiaofeng heard this, he glanced around, and didn't find anything wrong, so he asked impatiently, "What's weird?" ”

"Don't you think it's a little too desolate around here? There is water here, how can there be no plants growing at all? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng woke up now, looked around again, and sure enough, he found that not to mention other plants, even the cactus with strong survival ability in the desert was nowhere to be seen.

Dong Que said: "What do you say? Do you think that's a little wrong? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng also hesitated, so he asked him: "Is it true that in the desert, where there is water, there must be plants?" ”

Dong Que couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "This ...... I don't know...... Probably so...... You say that there is little water in this desert, shouldn't they be cherished as grass? ”

The two were silent for a while, and Dong Quede added: "I just suddenly thought, shouldn't this water be poisonous?" ”

As soon as the words fell, both of them involuntarily touched their faces, but fortunately, nothing happened.

Zheng Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "Forget it, don't care if it's poisonous or not, we still have a lot of water with us, and we don't need to replenish it here, let's just rest for a while and leave." ”

"Yes." Dong Que nodded, feeling that Zheng Xiaofeng was reasonable, and he was not ready to drill the horns, but at the moment when he nodded, he suddenly saw something white in the sand pit that Zheng Xiaofeng had caught out, and he reflexively touched it and swept all the sand particles covering it aside.

But I didn't expect it to matter if he didn't do it, and after finishing it, the two of them looked at it again and immediately gasped, because they suddenly found that it was actually a human skull.
