Chapter 1: Lonely Smoke
Have you ever seen desolation engulf the whole world, in sight, out of sight, all you can see is just a panic.
Thirty years ago, in the largest desert in Xinjiang, a team of camels was walking towards the depths of the desert with footprints of different shades.
But they can't drink water now, and they won't touch it until the last moment. To put it bluntly, now this water is used to save lives, and it has been almost ten days in the desert, and the caravan has lost its way.
Even if you bring in the best local "veterans", it won't help at the moment.
They can only rely on their strong will to continue to move forward.
Before entering the desert, they heard that the wind and sand were rising, and a coffin had appeared in the most conspicuous part of the desert, and people who lived near the desert saw it, and some people said that it was a "mirage"
But in a mirage, how could a coffin emerge?
All of them felt panic like never before.
The coffin is usually ominous, and what is even more terrifying is that the coffin appeared frequently in those days, and in different places.
In the end, the news was spread "stormy", and people from far and near 100 miles knew it.
Finally, a group of visitors suddenly appeared in the desert, they were so mysterious that no one here could see what they were doing.
It's just that after they appeared, strange to say, the coffin didn't appear.
Everyone thought that there was a "savior." β
But these men did not say a word, and one by one they were like dull dead men, and at last they spent a great deal of money, found an experienced guide in a nearby place, and went into the depths of the desert.
It's just that after they walked in, they didn't come out, and the coffin disappeared forever.
No one knows what happened to them in the desert.
Until one day, people seemed to see a lonely smoke rising from the depths of the desert, and they were until maybe those people were not swallowed up by the wind and sand, but people couldn't figure out why they hadn't come out of the desert for thirty years!
Many of the old people who remember this have passed away, and the coffin, which looks like a "mirage", seems to have disappeared forever.
Thirty years have passed.
The story returns to Zhang Baiguan and them.
came back from that remote village in Xi'an, Lin Fatzi and Xiangzi got together and lived in Zhang Baiguan's house, and Zhou Baigou often came to learn from Lin Fatzi.
The main thing is to have money.
Although I didn't touch too many things last time.
But the price of the piece of treasure jade of the fat man in Guanglin is really scary!
Lin Fatzi has been hiding in the bed and secretly having fun for several days.
After a few people poured into the coffin, they rested in Zhang Baiguan's house for almost ten days, everyone was recuperating from their injuries, Lin Fatzi returned to his original mellow appearance, Xiangzi's vitality was almost recovered, and Zhang Baiguan was the same, but there was a scar on his foot.
He still had a pair of gloves on his hands.
It wasn't until the time of the tenth day that Zhang Baiguan's hand returned to normal.
On the eleventh day, Long Xu, who had originally left, suddenly appeared at the door of Zhang Baiguan's store.
When Zhang Baiguan opened the door of the store, he happened to see Long Xu standing at the door slimly: "I've been here several times, but I haven't seen you come back, this time I finally ran into you." Long Xu said solemnly.
Zhang Baiguan suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he hummed.
"Come in!"
Long Xu held the "Nine Dragons Golden Knife" in his hand and entered Zhang Baiguan's house.
Lin Fatzi: They haven't gotten up yet.
Zhang Baiguan didn't know what they did with the bamboo slips after they gave them to Long Xu!
After Zhang Baiguan poured a cup of tea for Long Xu, he asked out loud.
Long Xu didn't hide it, this time thanks to Zhang Baiguan giving them the bamboo slip, because the bamboo slip is really important to their meaning, Long Xu just said in the end: "At present, we haven't seen through the meaning of the bamboo slip!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baiguan felt puzzled.
When I saw it for the first time, I was immediately shocked beyond comprehension, how could they not understand. Zhang Baiguan thought so, but he didn't say it explicitly. After a moment of silence, Zhang Baiguan asked, "What is the purpose of your coming here this time?"
Long Xu, who was originally sitting, stood up all of a sudden, holding the "Nine Dragons Golden Knife" in both hands and said to Zhang Baiguan: "This is for you, it can be regarded as your reward for giving me that bamboo slip." β
"I can't ask for it. β
"Give it to you, and you'll take it. β
Zhang Baiguan's brows furrowed, and then said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"
Long Xu's movements froze for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth pulled out a treacherous smile and said: "You are smarter than I imagined, but there is still a mistake, what about this knife, it is indeed for you, because I don't use it, and I guess you may know what that bamboo slip means?" So I want to ask you, and you will tell me, right?"
Zhang Baiguan looked at Long Xu, who was a little naΓ―ve at this time.
didn't answer, and still said: "I still can't ask for the knife, and I don't understand what the bamboo slip you said means." β
Zhang Baiguan was telling the truth, he just knew that the content on the bamboo slip was enough to shock the world, but he didn't know what the function of the bamboo slip was, so he could only answer like this.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.
Suddenly, Lin Fatzi's voice sounded: "Which guy who doesn't have long eyes, who is noisy about the fat man's rest early in the morning, and Lao Tzu doesn't do business today." β
"It's me, dead fat. β
"Huh! This voice sounds familiar!"
Lin Fatzi yawned and walked out, and when he saw that it was Long Xu, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "It turned out that it was Miss Long's arrival that missed the distance, please forgive me!"
"Speak human words. β
"Sister Long Xu, when did you come?"
"Just now. β
"Official, you are really getting more and more ignorant, Sister Long Xu is here, why can't you have tea yet!"
"Damn," Zhang Baiguan scolded.
Lin Fatzi didn't pay attention to it, just laughed.
After sitting down, Lin Fatzi spoke: "Big sister paper, is there any big deal!"
Long Xu looked at Lin Fatzi's flattering expression, and just felt funny, but when he saw Zhang Baiguan's face, Long Xu was a little unhappy, this guy must know something, but he just refused to tell himself, Long Xu slandered in his heart.
"Fatty, I really have a deal here, maybe you don't dare to do it!"
