() Desert hinterland.

The sun was not big, but it was dazzling and scorching everything, as if it were tired of seeing everything in the desert and wanted to melt it away.

In the heat wave that evaporated on the ground, a group of people walked in the shadows.

When I got closer, I saw Feng Shuzhu and Jing Chenzi in front, followed by dozens of Guiyunguan Taoist priests, and Yi Dingjia walked at the end, opening a short distance from everyone, looking around from time to time, as if worried that there were any gold and silver treasures around that would be missed accidentally.

The sun is blazing and the temperature is unbearable.

Not a single bird was seen, not a single animal was seen, and even the reptiles with armor hid in the sand early.

Listening to Jing Chenzi: "According to the disciple's report, it was in this area that Tan Wen was discovered at that time. He raised his eyes and looked around.

Feng Shuzhu also looked around, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no place to hide from the scorching sun and sandstorms here, and there is no water to drink within a thousand miles. ”

Jing Chenzi nodded and said: "Feng Shaoxia's analysis is not unreasonable, and Poor Dao also thought so, but Tan Wen has appeared here and fought with the disciples of Guiyunguan, so there must still be some clues to be found, and I still need to take a closer look." ”

Feng Shuzhu said: "Tan Wen is no longer here, but we have to find out why he is here, and where he must go, these questions are solved one by one, and I believe that Tan Wen's hiding place will be easily found." ”

Jing Chenzi said: "Feng Shaoxia is reasonable. ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of a distance, and the Taoist priest of Guiyunguan behind him never left or right, but Yi Dingjia also caught up, but his mind was not on listening to the two of them, but continued to look east and west, walked two steps and stopped, stopped and watched.

Yinhua flashed, a sword light fell, and when he saw the Taoist priest of Yunguan appearing, he stepped forward and reported: "Qiqi master, there is something found ahead." ”

When Jing Chenzi heard this, he didn't have time to ask in detail, he raised his eyebrows, waved his big hand, and said, "Quickly lead the way." ”

The group hurried forward by the man, walked no more than a hundred feet, bypassed a sand mountain, and came to a low-lying sandy area.

There were already a few Taoists there, standing in one place, pointing and discussing, when they heard the sound of someone coming, and when they saw that it was the master, they all stopped their voices, retreated to the side, and made way for a way.

Feng Shuzhu and Jing Chenzi walked forward, looked down, and saw two dead bodies lying in the sand pit, looking at the clothes should be from the Central Plains, the exposed parts of the face and body have long been tanned and dried by the scorching sun, and the whole body seems to have been sucked up all the water and liquid, dried up in the clothes, which is very terrifying.

Jing Chenzi took a step down, stood at the bottom of the sand pit, looked at the corpse closely, and wondered: "Why did these two Central Plains people come to this desert hinterland, and who died at the hands of whom?"

Feng Shuzhu also walked down, squatted down, looked at the two people carefully, shook his head and said, "These two people are not from the Central Plains. ”

When Jing Chenzi heard this, he glanced at the two dead corpses and said in surprise: "Feng Shaoxia, why did you say this?"

Feng Shuzhu pointed to the ears of the two people, and said: "Dao Chief, you see, these two people have pierced ears, which is one of the unique characteristics of men in the Western Regions, just because they have to wear earrings since they were young, and there are very few people in the Central Plains who have pierced their ears. ”

Hearing this, Jing Chenzi took a closer look, and there were indeed small holes in the ears of the two corpses, which were really difficult to find if she didn't look carefully, but after thinking about it, she said: "There are also some ethnic minorities in the southwestern border of the Central Plains, who have the habit of piercing their ears and wearing earrings. ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded, and said, "The Taoist is really well-informed, but you look here." As he spoke, he pointed to the eye sockets and nose of one of them, and said, "Although the eye and nose apparatus of these two people have been destroyed, they can still vaguely see the characteristics of their high noses and deep eyes. ”

Jing Chenzi nodded and said, "The murderer is very strange,

Wouldn't it be better if you wanted to hide it, but why didn't you set fire to the corpse?"

Feng Shuzhu stood up and nodded: "Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility, that is, the murderer didn't have time to set the fire, or there was something else hidden." ”

Jing Chenzi glanced at the corpse twice, also stood up, and said thoughtfully: "These two people are wearing Central Plains costumes and dying in this desert, I really can't figure it out. ”

Feng Shuzhu was silent for a while, and Fang said: "Maybe they tracked someone from the Central Plains here, and they were accidentally discovered and killed. ”

When Jing Chenzi heard this, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he said, "Feng Shaoxia's intentions, is it possible to suspect that they are tracking Tan Wen?"

Feng Shuzhu looked away, retracted it, and nodded: "Very likely, but I don't know if these two corpses have moved?"

As soon as Jing Chenzi turned around slightly, a person from the door stepped forward and arched his hand: "Master, I will report to you immediately if I find these two corpses, and no one has touched them." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he said to Jing Chenzi: "Let's take a look at the corpse, maybe there will be another discovery." ”

Jing Chenzi nodded, and immediately ordered two Guiyun Guan Daoists to drag the body up from the sand pit.

The sand pit was not deep, and the corpse had already dried up after being exposed to the wind and sun, so it had no weight, and the two Taoists each dragged a corpse, and pulled most of their bodies with a little force.

I only heard the sound of "bang" and the sound of metal colliding.

Everyone looked for the sound, only to see that one of the corpses pressed a package under the body, and once it was pulled, it scattered, revealing more than ten gold bricks from inside, yellow and bright, real and dazzling in the sun.

Feng Shuzhu swept his eyes, shook his head and said: "I really don't know that these two people are still carrying these yellow and white things to death, in addition to increasing the weight in this desert, it is far less valuable than a glass of water." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yi Dingjia pushed aside the crowd, hurriedly walked up, jumped into the sand pit, threw himself forward, stepped forward to pick up the gold bricks in his hands, held them in his arms, and said with bright eyes: "These gold bricks belong to me, they belong to me, you don't rob them, you don't want to rob ......", he felt that something was wrong when he said and looked carefully, and found that everyone around him, but no one took a second look at these gold bricks, as if in their eyes, these gold bricks were as worthless as the sand under their feet.

Seeing this, Yi Dingjia was no longer busy, looked at the gold nuggets one by one, fiddled with them again, rolled his eyes, and simply untied his carry-on coat, and took out the gold bricks from the package on the sand one by one and placed them, but when he got more than half of them.

Suddenly, I heard the wind and sparse bamboo shouting, "Slow!"

The voice was crisp and neat, so frightened that Yi Dingjia trembled, involuntarily stopped, and subconsciously reached out to protect the gold bricks, mistakenly thinking that someone was going to rob the treasure, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Feng Shuzhu staring at the package on the sand, and the target was obviously not those gold nuggets.

Yi Dingjia was quite surprised when he saw his strange gaze, and he retracted his gaze to look at the package, and found that there was a strange pattern on the wrapped cloth, like three hands around the hand held together, surrounded by some dark patterns, but in the middle was a devil statue with two horns.

Yi Dingjia pulled out the sand and soil on the package, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't see the reason, so he picked up the package, shook the sand off it vigorously, and then grabbed the two corners and displayed it in front of everyone.

Anyone who takes a look at it will also know that this is the mark of a certain sect, just like the water moon of the Water Moon Palace, the gossip of the Guiyun Temple, and the Buddha seal of the Kongjue Temple.

Yi Dingjia frowned and said, "What kind of sect is this, how the old decay has never seen it." ”

Jing Chenzi looked at it again and again, shook his head in the same way, and said lightly: "Poor Dao knows all the sects and sects in the Central Plains, but he has never seen such a mark, so he really comes from the Western Regions." ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded, his face moved slightly, and said, "This is indeed the sect in charge of the Western Regions Demon Sect Demon Venerable Mobo Guluo. ”

When everyone heard Mobogulo, they were also moved. Cast his eyes on the package again, just because the Demon Venerable Moboguilla is too famous, and everyone knows about the major sects in the Central Plains, but the Demon Venerable has never invaded the Central Plains, so most people only listen to his name and do not see him.

Jing Chenzi glanced at the two corpses again, and said suspiciously: "These two people are disciples of the Western Regions Demon Sect, but they are wearing the clothes of the Central Plains, and they died in the desert, which is incredible. ”

Feng Shuzhu left the two corpses, took two steps forward, raised his eyes to look into the distance, and said in a low voice: "If these two people are really killed by Tan Wen, I am afraid that the matter of the Western Regions Demon Sect being involved in the Central Plains will become clearer and clearer." ”

Jing Chenzi followed, and said with a hurry on his face: "If Tan Wenzhen colludes with the Western Regions Demon Sect, then the problem is really very tricky. ”

Feng Shuzhu was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "If this is not the case, who killed the two demon sects, and why did they go to the Central Plains?"

Everyone was led into infinite silence by these two questions, only Yi Dingjia didn't have the heart to listen to the two discuss things at all, but put his mind on the yellow gold bricks, jumped out of the sand pit again, and packed it with his own carry-on bag.

After a long time, he listened to the wind and said: "Cremate the bodies of these two people, so as not to track down the Western Regions Demon Sect here and cause unnecessary misunderstandings with us." ”

Jing Chenzi thought for a while and said, "What Feng Shaoxia said is extremely true, the Western Regions Demon Sect has always had nothing to do with my Central Plains factions, and it is better for us to cause less trouble." Then he ordered the Guiyunguan Taoist to remove the two corpses and cremate them, and take the ashes away together, find a safe place and bury them.

After Jing Chenzi finished instructing everything, he said: "The disciples of the poor Dao sect in this area have checked all over the place, and Tan Wen has long since disappeared. As he spoke, he paused, and said helplessly: "This desert is so vast, finding a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that we have dozens of people here, even if we use the strength of thousands of people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find, and Tan Wen will not stay in one place and wait for us to find it." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Jing Chenzi's expression, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Dao Leader doesn't have to be so desperate. Next, we just need to find one place and all the problems will be solved. ”

When Jing Chenzi heard this, his eyes lit up and asked, "Where?"

Feng Shuzhu said word by word: "Heavenly Hell." ”

Hearing this, Jing Chenzi's body trembled, and he actually felt a chill under such a scorching sun, and his face seemed to be a little whiter, as if something was blocking the sun, his brows furrowed, and he repeated, "Heavenly Hell ......." After a while, Jing Chenzi came back to his senses, but he was still a little confused: "But I don't know where that hell is? Where do we find it?"

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Jing Chenzi, and then at the Guiyun Audience Daoist behind him, and said with a smile: "Dao Master is now the head of the largest sect of the righteous path in the world. ”

Jing Chenzi listened to Feng Shuzhu suddenly mention this matter, and before he understood the meaning at first, he said without thinking about it: "The righteous path has declined to this point, and the poor path is really difficult, just obey the teacher's orders." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he said with a smile: "Since the Dao Chief has said that the right path will be weak tomorrow, why do you still want to put yourself in danger?"

Jing Chenzi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "Chasing and killing Tan Wenshi is really a matter of my return to Yunguan, how can I make Feng Shaoxia put himself in danger, if so, how can the poor Dao and the thousands of disciples under the sect have face." ”

Feng Shuzhu shook his head and said, "With the current identity of the Dao Chief, being discovered by the Western Regions Demon Sect, even if the world is in chaos. ”

How was Jing Chenzi willing to give up, and said, "I'll just be careful." ”

Hearing this, Feng Shuzhu turned around and pointed to the sand pit, and said, "Those two disciples of the Western Regions Demon Sect, if they are discovered by the Guiyun Temple in the Central Plains, how will the Dao Master feel?"

When Jing Chenzi heard this, he was dumbfounded for a while, of course, everyone would think that this must be the Western Regions Demon Sect coveting the Central Plains, but after thinking about it, he immediately said: "The disciples of the Western Regions Demon Sect can go to the Central Plains, and we can also go to the Demon Sect." ”
