Xu Zidao frowned and said, "But didn't the Yilan clan have long perished?"

After pacing the house for two steps with the scepter, the high priest stopped, with a sad look on his face, and said: "The real Elam did die out with that battle, but a small part of the Elam who were not recognized at that time escaped, they are the ancestors of our branch, and then the ancestors wandered to the Northern Desert, and finally settled in this desert desert, which is more than 500 years in a blink of an eye. ”

Xu Zidao showed a completely abrupt look on his face, and said, "That...... I wonder what the High Priest wants to promise you?"

The high priest continued: "When the ancestors fled, they brought back a batch of treasures from the Ilam, and the high priest at that time wanted to take this treasure for himself and hid it, and then the matter was revealed, although the high priest was executed, but the treasures also lost their whereabouts, and it is not until recent years that we have found out the whereabouts of these treasures, but we have not been able to crack the mechanism to protect the treasures. ”

Xu Zidao looked at the beautiful woman and said, "So...... What does the High Priest mean to let His Majesty help crack the treasure?"

The high priest looked at Xu Zidao with a calm look in his eyes and nodded.

Xu Zidao pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "The high priest is really flattered by the fact that he is so elevated, but he is just an ordinary person, and I am afraid that he will not be able to crack the treasure mechanism." ”

The high priest smiled, looked at Xu Zidao and said meaningfully: "Guests don't have to be modest, I think people have always been very accurate, you just have to answer yes or no, don't think about other things." ”

Xu Zidao's sword eyebrows raised slightly upwards and said, "What will happen if you don't agree?"

The high priest smiled in his eyes, but replied coldly: "If you don't promise, you will die." ”

Xu Zidao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out, "Do I still have a choice?"

The high priest was undeniable and said, "Then you agreed?"

Xu Zidao smiled on his lips and said, "But there is also a condition below?"

The high priest's good-looking eyes lit up slightly, but there was nothing unusual on his face, and he said, "You say!"

Xu Zidao touched his flowing hair and said with a smile, "I wonder if the high priest has ever seen a nine-story tower?"

The High Priest's brows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth murmured slightly, "Nine-story Tower?

Xu Zidao said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the name of this tower is, I only know that it is hidden in this oasis, and the tower is nine stories high. ”

The beautiful girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said: "If it is according to what you said, it is undoubtedly the Crescent Tower, but the Crescent Tower has been abandoned for a long time, what do you inquire about this tower?"

Xu Zidao smiled slightly and said, "For some reason, I want to visit this tower, I don't know what the high priest wants?"

The beautiful woman smiled, and did not remember to answer, but asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid you came here for the Crescent Tower, right?"

Xu Zidao didn't make a sound, just nodded, which was considered a default.

The high priest pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "As long as you crack the mechanism, this matter is not impossible." ”

Xu Zidao's eyes flashed with a ray of light, and he said, "After visiting this tower, I still want to stay in your place with my friends for a few days, I wonder if the high priest can agree?"

"Your friend?"

"Yes"

The High Priest was silent for about dozens of breaths before he said, "As long as you can crack the treasure mechanism, this matter can also be discussed, but you and your friends can't destroy anything here, otherwise even if you help us crack the mechanism, we can only ask you to leave!"

Xu Zidao nodded and said, "This is natural!"

"Now, then, let me meet your friends, and see if all the strangers are as good as your Excellency?" said the High Priest.

Xu Zidao showed a touch of apology on his face and said, "I'm sorry, they are still in the desert now." ”

The high priest smiled: "It's okay, Your Excellency can exchange them in, just so that I can wash the dust for you, which will be counted as a reward for Your Excellency's promise to help us crack the mechanism." ”

Xu Zidao pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, then I'll go and call them in and meet the high priest." ”

After that, he was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly the beautiful girl ran up to him, stopped him, and said, "Dengzi, I don't know what your name is?"

The high priest glared slightly, "Afu, don't be rude. ”

The girl stuck out her tongue and looked so lovely that the high priest shook her head when she saw this.

Xu Zidao smiled and said: "The surname of the disciple is Xu, his name is from the Dao, his own self, the Tao of the truth, the holy woman is called Xu Zidao." ”

"Xu Zidao" The girl's lips chattered slightly, and then said: "Listen, my name is Quuff, and I will be called Afu in the future, don't always call me a saint." ”

Xu Zidao nodded, and the smile on his face was even stronger, "Yes, Holy Maiden!"

"Are you still called?" said the girl's eyes widened, and she said with some anger.

"Yes, Afu!" Xu Zidao said a little impatiently.

The girl Quuff nodded with satisfaction, waved one hand, and signaled that Xu Zidao could go.

That look was like sending a man named Hanako, Xu Zidao couldn't cry or laugh.

He looked at the high priest and saw that the latter nodded, and then left the house.

As soon as Xu Zidao left, a bearded man who was sitting on the felt and drinking, and who was closest to the stone staircase, spoke: "High Priest, do you really want this stranger to open the treasure of our ancestors?"

The high priest withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly, "Why don't you let him try, maybe there will be unexpected gains." ”

"It's just that I'm afraid that he will do something, but the stranger is very cunning. The bearded man said in a deep voice.

The High Priest's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice gradually became a little cold, "Don't worry, he can't move his hands and feet in our territory." ”

Seeing that the high priest was so sure, the big man didn't say anything, but his expression was still a little suspicious, but he didn't say anything more for the sake of the high priest's face.

The interior of the dwelling has returned to its former appearance, and the singing and dancing are level, plain and peaceful.

......

on the desert.

Lin Taiping had already circled this small sand dune ten times, and as he turned, he was still muttering about why he hadn't come back.

His eyebrows were very anxious, at first Madame Rose would persuade her, but then she didn't even bother to look at it, if a woman was worried about a man, she didn't say anything about other people, even if she wanted to enter her ears, it was not easy, because her heart had already gone with this man, if a woman's heart was not there, no matter how much others said, it would be useless.

Since Xu Zidao went to the front to explore the way, Ji Qianye arranged for the others to rest, and this small sand dune was their resting place.

A gust of wind snorted, and he shook his head, looking a little bored.

Suddenly there was a long neighing of the wind, and the horses' hooves scurled wildly across the dunes, their heads fixed on the front.

Seeing the strange appearance of a gust of wind, everyone looked ahead, only to see that under the dim sky in the distance, a small black dot rushed over, and the speed was extremely fast, and it was in front of them in a blink of an eye.

Everyone looked at it, it was Xu Zidao.

Lin Taiping rushed up and said, "Why did you only come back now?"

Xu Zidao opened his mouth and was about to speak, when suddenly Mrs. Rose's words rang out again, "If you don't come back, your good brother will probably go to you, I can't see that your brother's feelings are so deep, he has been talking about you just now!"

The word "brother" Mrs. Rose bit very hard, and when she spoke, she still looked at Lin Taiping, and the latter blushed and was a little embarrassed.

Xu Zidao was stunned by what the two said, looked at Lin Taiping, and then looked at Mrs. Rose, and then said: "That's, otherwise how can we be Yanchuan Shuangxia?

Lin Taiping glared at Madame Rose fiercely and said, "What's the matter?

The rest of the people also looked at Xu Zidao closely, and it seemed that they were very curious about this matter.

Xu Zidao smiled slightly: "There are no ghosts, but there is a group in front of them." ”

"Clan?" Ji Qianye frowned and said.

Xu Zidao nodded and said, "Yilan clan"

"Didn't the Ilan tribe have been exterminated with the strength of Persia a long time ago?" Mr. Yu Er said movingly.

The rest of the people also looked the same, obviously not believing it.

Xu Zidao said with a smile: "The real Elan tribe has indeed perished a long time ago, but this one in front of you can be regarded as a side branch of the Ilan tribe, their ancestors escaped in the battle with Persia that year, and after several tosses, they finally settled in the Northern Desert." ”

"I see!, the tower ......," Ji Qianye said.

Xu Zidao said in a deep voice: "I have confirmed that the tower is within the territory of the Ilan clan, but if you want to enter the tower, you must get permission from the high priest, and I have promised their high priest that if I help them crack the mechanism of the treasure, she will allow us to enter the tower." ”

"What treasure?" As soon as he heard the word treasure, Lin Taiping became interested.

"The treasure left by the ancestors of the Ilan tribe, but there is a mechanism, they can't crack it, so they ask me to help them crack it. ”

"Xu Shaoxia agreed?" Ji Qianye said.

Xu Zidao nodded and said, "There is no other way than to promise, the entire oasis is their people, and if you want to enter the tower, you must have the permission of the high priest." ”

"Since Xu Shaoxia has decided, we naturally have no objection, so Shaoxia came here this time to ......" Ji Qianye said.

"The High Priestess wants to see you, and she has prepared a feast. ”

"In that case, then let's go! Someone has a banquet, so naturally they have to go to the appointment!" Bai Gap shook the folding fan in his hand and said.

Madame Rose also nodded and said, "It just so happens that I can also see if the beauties of the Ilan clan are really as beautiful as the legend?"

Lin Taiping's face was already greedy, so naturally he didn't need to say much, everyone understood his thoughts.

Ji Qianye pondered for a long time before he said, "It's okay, Ji also wants to see who the high priest of the Yilan clan is?"

The others had no objection, and the group headed towards the oasis.
