The first time, the desert wasteland
The endless undulating mountains are like churning raging waves, and the Great Wall is like a dragon fighting in this stormy wave, guarding the descendants of the dragon from generation to generation with his flesh and blood body that spans thousands of miles.
From the Great Wall to the north is the endless Hanhai Desert, such a bitter cold place is called Saibei, in the depths of this rolling yellow sand there is a barren mountain, stretching for dozens of miles.
It was in the late Ming Dynasty, which is also located at the junction of the Tatar State and the Ming Dynasty, due to the Ming Shizong Zhu Houxuan's old age and absurdity of government affairs, the Ming Dynasty undercurrent surged, the Tatar State took advantage of the situation to rise, in a vain attempt to revive the 'Chengzu' meritorious cause, and once again touched the fertile soil of the Central Plains.
The border between the two countries has been fighting for many years, and none of the border people have survived the suffering of the war, even those mountain people whose ancestors have lived in the mountains of Yibu have gradually become unbearable and have moved their families to find another way out, and more local people have been conscripted as the men of the army, and they are enslaved day by day, and they are really worse than dead.
Gradually, the mountain is no longer seen in the smoke of the past, leaving behind the white bones buried by the yellow sand, in the daytime it is really a sand and dust rolling people and animals are difficult to walk, after the night emitting a ghostly strange light of the craggy strange rocks, in the north of the wind raging, whining sound, far away to listen to the thousands of old women crying blood whispering, the ghost-like realm, even the fierce bandits and evil ghosts do not want to stay.
On this day, the desert wind swept away, the wild sand covered the sky, and a soil jackal scurried into this rocky mountain, this soil jackal is really like the dry wood, and the skinny bones seem to lack even half a piece of fat, but a pair of eyes are dark green and translucent, and the white teeth are exposed outside the mouth.
The wolves in this desert, because of the shortage of food, are more ferocious than those elsewhere, and their sense of smell is more sensitive.
I saw the beast half-lying on the ground, sniffing and walking all the way to a large brown rock, its sharp claws scratching at the stone.
This big rock doesn't look peculiar on the outside, but it is a thing that can be seen everywhere in this barren mountain, but it also weighs hundreds of catties, even if it is a big insect, there is nothing to do, let alone the thin jackal in front of him.
But the jackal seemed to be very hungry and thirsty, as if it had recognized this piece of earth and rock, and saw that its nose kept stirring, and it only scratched with its two front paws, and saw that it pounced a few times without any effect, but it jumped back violently, as if it was frightened by something.
This is the jackal jumped away and didn't run away, but just stood on the gravel beach in the distance, a pair of dark green eyes fixed on the rock.
I don't know if it's an illusion, the earth and rock seem to shake slightly, and then slowly move to the side, revealing a dark and secluded cave, the soil jackal on the side saw this and roared, and the limbs of the thin body rushed into the hole like an arrow, and for a moment I heard a shout and scolding from the hole: "What a miscellaneous beast, dare to rob grandpa of food!"
The jackal was thrown out, smashed on the gravel beach, struggled a few times but finally lost its strength, gradually lost its sound, a few vultures hovering in the air, hurriedly gathered their wings and fell, you fight for me.
At this time, the earth and rock removed the cave and opened widely, only to see a bearded man, holding a burnt roast leg of lamb in each hand, walked out of the cave, saw the scene of vultures competing for the corpse of jackals outside the cave, snorted, turned his head and said: "Second brother, this place of Laoshzi ghosts, I can't stay any longer, the desert Gobi of a hundred and ten miles of land, really fades people out of a bird." ”
The bearded man turned to one side, revealing a man in a coarse cloth shortcoat who was also coming out of the hole after him.
This man was different from the previous bearded man who complained loudly, first taking a deep breath and then exhaling slowly, as if he wanted to spit out all the filthy qi he had inhaled in the cave before.
Seeing that his second brother didn't pay attention to him, the bearded man said anxiously: "Second brother, you have something to say, this bird doesn't chicken doesn't have eggs, and the realm is stuffy." ”
The man in the short coat exhaled another breath of turbid air at this time, and suddenly felt a little more comfortable, so he said tepidly: "Seventh brother, didn't we come and go in this desert to do that baseless livelihood, the same." ”
The bearded man seemed to be in a hurry: "How is that, think of our brothers, the name of Mobei Eight Knives is also well-known in this desert borderland, and the beautiful scenery of Juting Sea is not comparable to this mountain, there can be hand-handled meat, zygotes, steamed dumplings, blood sausages, and barbecue." ”
The bearded man was about to continue, but he was interrupted by the man in the short coat waving his hand, and he couldn't help but be depressed, only to hear the man in the short coat laugh and say: "In the end, Lao Qi, you are not for the gluttony in your stomach, you really lost the name that your father and mother gave you." ”
It turned out that the two brothers in front of him were the second and seventh of the eight swords in Mobei who were rampant in the Shagang outside the Saiwai, speaking of which, these eight people are not sworn brothers, but real brothers with the same father and mother.
It is said that the nine generations of their old Mo family have been passed down to their father Mo Dagou's generation, and Mo Dagou was born with a congenital deficiency, and the countrymen are superstitious, and they feel that they will be disgusted when they take a name for the life and death book of the Lord of Yan, and this child is not easy to be hooked by impermanence ghosts early, so he took the name of a big dog.
I really didn't see the danger and grew up peacefully, but Mo Dagou saw that people were middle-aged, but there was no half of the heirs under his knees, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that the nine generations of the old Mo family were passed down by himself.
After a long time, I happened to hear someone in the neighborhood talking about the Buddha to send the son Guanyin very effective, the big dog heart moved, and immediately made the money to invite a statue of Guanyin to send the child home, the couple worshiped day and night, did not think that the next year actually gave birth to a son, so it was like the river broke the mouth, and could not stop for eight consecutive years to get eight sons.
After that, the husband and wife are grateful to send their son Guanyin, and the gods and Buddhas are even more unswerving, and the names of the eight brothers are not long after the birth of the old eight, and Mo Dagou begged a monk at the entrance of the village, and repeatedly begged for it.
The monk who traveled to the side did not have much ink in his belly, and when he saw that he couldn't excuse himself, he simply sent Mo Da Dog eight names, which were Mo Kill, Mo Thief, Mo Lewd, Mo Delusion, Mo Wine, Mo Greed, Mo Food, and Mo Anger. Obtaining is actually the meaning of the eight precepts of Buddhism.
Within a few years, Mo Dagou and his wife passed away one after another, and the eight brothers were still young and had a short upbringing and care, and they actually ganged up to follow the strongman who cut the path.
The eldest Mo is full of murder and sin, the second Mo steals chickens and dogs and digs graves, the third Mo is obscene and lustful, the fourth is full of nonsense and abduction, the fifth Mo is drunk and drunk, the sixth is greedy and greedy, the seventh is not greedy, the eighth is ugly, and the eighth is as hot-tempered and fierce as fire.
Later, the eight brothers set up their own homes by chance, collected some homeless ruffians, and robbed the house to endanger one party.
It's just that the eight brothers did too much evil, and all the merchants and travelers in the past must go to rob and kill, and none of the old and weak women and children let go, so the cruelty and crime are too heavy, and the Ming Dynasty has early in the sea to catch the documents, that is, there are few people in the Tatar country, so they can only often hide in the desert of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatar State in the south of the Juting Sea to rob the past merchants.
At this time, I don't know why these eight brothers came to this barren mountain and dug a cave.
This Mo Lao Er didn't mention the names and surnames of the brothers, but at this time, he woke up the seventh, Mo Shi suddenly woke up and said: "Second brother, if you don't mention the name and surname of our family, I will forget." We robbed this Laoshizi secret treasure map a long time ago, if you want to say that you don't kill the eldest brother, you only know how to kill people happily, but you have no interest in digging graves, but the second brother you and the sixth brother saw this treasure map, it seems that the eyes are green, and the eldest brother said that there are some treasures in the magic weapon blade killing treasure, the eldest brother was moved by you to take a few brothers to give up Ju Tinghai to come here and dig what Laoshzi bird cave, but it hurt a few of our brothers, but I don't share it with you, so I went to find the third brother and the fifth brother, you need to know that you dug up the gold and silver weapons in this bird cave but can't dig out the girl and wine syrup。 ”
After that, Mo Shi was about to turn back to the cave to find the other brothers, but he didn't want Mo Thief to pull him and said, "Seventh brother, don't panic, we have been digging in this cave for a long time today, have you ever seen your third brother?"
Mo Shixing scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I can always find it left and right in this cave." ”
Mo thief smiled: "You guy seems to have eaten and broken your brain, where is this big cave still used to find, I will tell you secretly, your third brother secretly gave up the cave yesterday to pick flowers and look for incense." ”
Mo Shi was stunned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "The fifth brother is always there." ”
Mo thief said again: "Since your fifth brother arrived here, he seems to have been smoked all over his bones, and he has been listless and soaked in the wine vat all day. ”
Mo Shi suddenly lost his mind when he heard the second brother say this, so he had to say angrily: "My brothers are all lazy, won't they dodge if they bully me?"
Mo Thief persuaded: "Among the eight of our brothers, only the seventh brother has the most strength to eat, and the third and fifth brothers are already so angry that they don't kill the eldest brother and sharpen their knives all day long, do you want to try the eldest brother's methods at this time." ”
Mo Shi, who said this, shuddered.
I only heard Mo Thief then said leisurely: "Seventh brother, don't you feel that digging a hole here has yielded you, and you have found the secret treasure in the coming day, our brothers are indispensable to get some benefits, you have been nesting in this poor desert for so long, you know what delicious, where is the treasure and jade food of the Han family of the Ming Dynasty in the south comparable to this bitter cold place, but a few of our brothers have found a huge amount of gold and silver, can the elder brother not enjoy some silver money with you?"
Then he listened to Mo Thief talk about many well-known foods in the Southern Dynasty, and the saliva of the greedy Mo Shi was shining with golden light, not to mention that he used twelve points of strength to dig a hole after that.
Also together with the Mobei Eight Swords should be on this, they got this secret treasure map is not fake, this barren mountain buried was originally the former Dynasty when the Great Yuan was defeated, all the way to the army and horses did not carry a little property, as if this kind of place every time the dynasty is changed, there are a lot, that was robbed by their brothers eight ghost merchants were originally a rich merchant in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, he got this treasure map by chance, and he couldn't hold back and found it all the way along the way, never thought that the treasure was not found, but was killed by the gangsters who ran rampant in the desert.
Mobei Badao has been in the desert for so many years, and what he has done is the roaring and unprofitable business, where is the ability to survey the terrain is comparable to a rich businessman who is inconvenient to the north and south.
This treasure map did not last long, and the eight brothers found it all the way to this barren mountain according to the map, and it was said that it had been more than a month at this time.
But said that on this day, the eight brothers finally dug up all the soil and stones filled outside the treasure cave to expose the door of the cave, and the eight brothers were all overjoyed, and they lit a fire to grab the oil lamp in, but this cave is not a natural stone cave, but the defeated Yuan soldiers hurriedly dug it, only to see that the small cave is scattered with some calligraphy and painting antiques, and the real gold and silver treasures and jewels are only one box.
The brothers searched carefully for a long time, and Mo Thief found a strange box the size of a fist, only to feel that it was cold and hard to start, but he didn't know what kind of material it was.
The boss Mo Kill looked around and didn't see half a murderous weapon, so he was not disappointed, took the strange locket and looked at the past, and in the dim firelight, he saw a black and swarthy mass as if it were one, only the center of the box was embedded with a disc, and there were many small characters engraved on it, but it was the word that recognized him Mo Kill, and he Mo Kill but could not recognize the word.
The old man was the most anxious, grabbed the box and pulled it hard, but where could it be opened, this reckless man got up for a while, threw the iron box aside, pulled out the ghost head knife on his waist and cut it according to the box, and the remaining brothers wanted to stop it too late, only to hear a click, more than ten catties of good steel knives were folded like this, a few people went to see the box again, but there was not even a scratch left on it, and the brothers knew that they had found a strange treasure.
The soldiers of the former dynasty Dayuan were fierce and ferocious, every time they laid down a city, the generals who led the troops often plundered the troops, but where they were useful and useless, as long as they had the slightest eye, they would snatch them back, so the Yuan soldiers from all walks of life got some things that did not know the origin and use, the material of this box was incomparable, but where there were eyeballs, they knew that it was a treasure, but they did not know the use and were finally buried here by the Yuan army and did not abandon it.
The eight brothers of the Mo family are fierce and cunning, of course, there is no shortage, but the brothers have thrown themselves into the recklessness early, but they have nothing to do with elegance, those priceless calligraphy and painting antiques only picked up the gold and jade carvings, and the rest were abandoned, eight people carried the box of jewelry, gold and silver, and returned to Jutinghai with the black iron box, and then gave up a little silver and gathered thousands of strong people to establish Huangsha Village, and the eight brothers were doing the eight leaders, and for a time the big and small horses came to vote stronger. Even the local government is reluctant to provoke easily, and it is even more evil to rob the merchants of the past without scrupulousness.
