After repeated questioning, Kangbalo revealed that the girl was a sacrifice chosen to appease the devil.
If the Zhang family has not come here in the fourth decade, they will send the girl there, because the ten-year period is coming soon, and the previous actions in the lamasery were to perform the necessary rituals for the sacrifice. .
The younger brother felt that these people were not telling the truth. He could feel that the girl was no longer a human being.
The whole thing is extremely unreasonable and has too many loopholes.

Zhang Zhuxun stayed in his room for more than ten days. Every day after dinner, he would take Yueyue out for a walk on the path in the lamasery.
Occasionally, I would meet Chen Xuehan who was picking people up the mountain, and the two would sit at a table and chat for a while.
"There seem to be a lot of people in the temple recently." Zhang Zhuxun stroked Yue Ya's dog's head and held a small jar like a wine jar in his hand for her to smell. There was a small piece of black lin-haired snake skin in it.
Over the past few days, he has also discovered that Yueya is much smarter than the average wolf green dog. Aning has trained her in some basic obedience behaviors before, and what interests him most is that Yueya has a strong influence on Black Scale. Hairy snakes have a natural aversion.
One time before taking Yueyue for a walk, he dug out the venom of several black hairy snakes he had collected in the space and tried diluting it. He put a very thin drop into his nose and gradually increased the amount after he got used to it.
This is also a desensitization experiment in advance for reading pheromones in the future. Because he has absorbed snake eggs, his five senses are unusually sharp, and the impact of snake venom is greater than the impact of pheromones on him.
He didn't want to enter that half-dead state of unconsciousness every time he read pheromones in the future. Such a state was really dangerous when the absolute safety of the environment could not be guaranteed.
Even though his whole body was disinfected and cleaned afterwards, when he went to see Yue Ya after dinner that day, Yue Ya suddenly became very irritable and restless when facing Zhang Zhuxun's arrival, growling in his direction, but because he was familiar with his half-master. The scent lingered around him, circling him, resisting and wanting to get closer.
Zhang Zhuxun didn't know why at first, and he coaxed Yue Ya for a long time before he was willing to come closer, but he kept staring at his hands and face and sniffing him nonstop.
Zhang Zhuoxun reacted suddenly, and Yueya suddenly became vigilant. In fact, he smelled the smell of snake venom remaining on his body. Even disinfectant alcohol could not completely hide the dangerous smell.
This was really an unexpected surprise. Zhang Zhuoxun happily touched Yue Ya's dog's head. Dogs have a keen sense of smell, and Yue Ya's kind is an innate talent.
Therefore, Zhang Zhuoxun specially took out the specimens of the black hairy snakes collected in the space to train Yueya, and Yueya performed better than usual.
Chen Xuehan was eating rice in his mouth while watching Zhang Chuxun interact with Gouzi.
After Zhang Zhuoxun gave the jar to Yueya to smell for a while, he covered the jar and threw it to Yueya. Yueya pounced on it like a hungry tiger, as strong and astute as a little leopard.
"As the New Year approaches, there will always be great lamas from all over the country here to hold Dharma conferences. Some guests will also come to listen to the Buddha. It is inevitable that there will be more people in the temple."
Chen Xuehan himself was actually a little puzzled. Although this lamasery was not isolated from the world, except for a few fixed groups, very few people came here every year, so that no one could sit in the hall, and many lamas had to move. Went to another room for dinner.
Zhang Zhuoxun rarely goes to the dining hall. There are too many people. Even though the lamas eat quietly, he is still not used to the mixed atmosphere around him. "Who are they? Foreigners or Han people."
That group of people seemed not to know the meaning of silence, causing the temple that used to be silent to become noisy. Zhang Zhuxun just didn't dislike the natural and warm atmosphere of fireworks when he was with fat brother Wu Xie and the others, but he didn't like it. Kind of, he is incompatible with strangers.
"Most of them are foreigners. They are all familiar faces who have been to the temple before." Chen Xuehan paused and added, "I guess they will leave in a short time."
Chen Xuehan knew very well that Zhang Zhuxun was a master who was not to be messed with just by looking at his eyes, but after being in contact with him for a long time, he also knew that he was usually easy-going and would not go out of his way to care about anything.
Therefore, he was no longer afraid of him, and he specifically warned: "Those foreigners look rough, so don't have any conflicts with them."
It's not that Zhang Zhuxun is afraid of suffering any loss. He doesn't have a good impression of those foreigners. Although they are more generous with their actions, he is worried that those foreigners will offend the man in front of him without knowing the seriousness. If something goes wrong, the temple will not be biased. , after all, they are all guests.
Naturally, Zhang Zhuxun didn't have that much free time to provoke those people. The records of Deren in the past were enough for him to study for a long time.
But what surprised him was that even though he ignored them, those people came to him.
Those foreigners also paid attention to the principle of courtesy first and then fighting.
After Zhang Zhuxun and Chen Xuehan finished talking and led Yueya back, Yueya smelled the stranger's scent first, leaning half-lying at the door to block Zhang Zhuxun, the tip of her nose kept twitching close to the crack of the door.
Zhang Zhuxun let go of his senses and explored the room. He didn't see anyone in the room, so he knew that the other person was just here for a formality. He reached out and patted Yueyue's back, signaling her to relax. Then he led the dog and pushed the door open, facing an empty table. There is a letter on it.
The strange smell that Yue Ya smelled came from this letter.
Zhang Zhuoxun pointed to the felt cushion on the chair, untied the rope and let Yue Ya drag it down to rest. Recently, there were too many people in the temple, so Yue Ya was not allowed to go to Chen Xuehan's house.
The envelope was not glued, and only five words were neatly written in small Chinese characters on the back, "Mr. Bai personally writes this."
Zhang Zhuxun already knew who was looking for him. They were from Jingjing Company. It seemed that they were also the ones who came to the temple recently.
Taking protective measures, he took out the thin letter paper inside. It started with a disgusting name commonly used by foreigners, "Dear Mr. Bai..."
The general content of the letter stated that they knew that Zhang Shuxun had what they wanted, so they planned to discuss cooperation with Zhang Shuxun. They also expressed that they were very sincere and never mentioned Aning or Rude who had attacked him before.
Zhang Zhuxun knew that people from Jingjing Company would not give up easily, so he regarded this letter as a fart, tore it up and threw it outside on the eaves of the next room.
Early the next morning, when the little lama brought the goat milk, he casually mentioned that someone had been waiting outside the house very early and asked the little lama to inform him.
Zhang Zhuxun still ignored him. After thanking the young lama, he said, "Tell him that I'm in retreat and can't see him."
The little lama nodded and did as he was told when he went out.
The German nodded, his face was solemn and cold, and there was no displeasure. In his opinion, this is the arrogance that a long-fingered person should have. There is an old saying among the Han people. If you look at the thatched cottage three times, a capable person will naturally have a temper. And their purpose is more than just cooperation.
On the third day, the Germans came here again, waiting under the corridor at the door earlier than yesterday. This was the final deadline in his heart for the long fingers in the room.
If you can't see anyone today, don't blame him for being rude. He thinks his sincerity is enough.
When the little lama finished delivering the goat milk and went out, the German turned his head and saw an extra person standing at the open door. It was the owner of the house he was looking for. He seemed younger than in the photo, and his eyes were sharper. As expected of a man with long fingers.
When the Germans were sizing up Zhang Shuxun, Zhang Shuxun was also analyzing him.
This man was very tall and as strong as a polar bear. His silver-gray hair was combed back. The knife-like stripes on his weathered face looked like scars when he smiled, which was very hateful.
He has a pair of amber hunter's eyes. This kind of person is used to controlling everything. Obviously he is very confident in his own strength. He is confident in persuading Zhang Chuxun to cooperate with him.
Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes focused on his neck for a moment. It was a bit troublesome but not difficult. It was still possible to kill him quietly.
The German noticed Zhang Zhuxun's hostility and took two steps closer. The smile on his face widened and he clasped his fists in a quaint salute.
From the bug installed on Rude, he already knew that Zhang Zhuxun could speak German, so he said directly: "Hey, Mr. Bai, I've always wanted to make friends with your Long Finger family, and today I finally have a chance. What an honor.”
Zhang Zhuxun did not respond. It seemed that the Germans regarded him as a member of the overseas Zhang family. No wonder they would come to discuss cooperation.
The German continued: "As a courtesy, let me introduce myself first. My name is Andreio Lane. Of course, you can also call me by my Chinese name, Li Andre."
Zhang Zhuxun looked at him indifferently, still showing no intention of speaking.
Li Ande's smile faded slightly, "I must be as smart as Mr. Bai, so he naturally already knows our purpose."
Zhang Zhuoxun snorted, "So what?"
"We need those notebooks to take us into the mountains." Andre Li said simply, "I know that Mr. Bai and your family have been studying how to enter the mountains."
Zhang Zhuxun sneered and said unceremoniously: "So what if I know. Whether you can enter the mountain or not is none of my business."
Li Ande was a little sullen. As a self-proclaimed China expert, he was also angered by Zhang Zhuxun's merciless and bad attitude. "Although it is none of your business, it is the owner's business."
Li Ande stretched out his hand and pointed at Crescent Moon, which had its dog's head sticking out of the door and stared at him with an unkind look. He just waited for Zhang Zhuxun's command to pounce on him and bite someone.
"Her owner stole two very important pieces of information from us, so we captured her, and now that information is in your possession."
Seeing Zhang Shuxun's expression change slightly, Li Ande smiled confidently.
He was sure that Zhang Zhuxun would not just sit idly by and ignore the woman's situation, "Don't worry, even if Miss Bai took away our things, we didn't do anything bad to her. She is living a good life now, and our People take good care of her at the headquarters of Jingjing Company."
Zhang Zhuoxun narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, what do you think?"
He was already sure that Aning was not in their hands.
Perhaps he had been caught before, but Aning escaped with his own ability and then hid, otherwise the German would not have emphasized where Aning was.
"We can exchange and share information. I will tell you the meaning of those two strings of numbers, and you will show us the oil painting and notes. We will return Miss Bai to you, and you will go into the mountains with us." Li Ande said.
"You also know very well what you want to do when you enter the mountain. The road into the mountain is very dangerous. You must have sent more than one wave of people into the mountain, but they all failed?" Zhang Zhuxun pretended to soften his tone.
Li Ande heard the hesitation in his words, so he became more confident. He moved his hand behind his back slightly and made a gesture, "As you said, we have failed many times."
"Without those notes and drawings, we can't know the true route to the Holy Lake. I can only tell you that those two strings of numbers are the information about the Holy Land Sky Stone deciphered by our leader, so if you want to know what those numbers represent, No matter what, we have to go there.”
Zhang Zhuoxun glanced at the corner of the corridor. There were more than one strong man with guns hidden there.
"How about we sit down and drink tea and chat slowly?" Li Ande didn't push too hard. He had plenty of time before the plan was fully implemented.
Zhang Zhuxun also took a step back and walked back into the house.
When Li Ande came in, he was accompanied by a German who was a head shorter than him. He had a full beard. Although his appearance was a bit rough, his face was much kinder than Li Ande's.
The man introduced himself in standard Mandarin, "Hello, Mr. Bai, I am Mr. Lane's deputy, and my name is von Otto Erich."
Zhang Zhuxun looked him over and thought that he was a descendant of a German aristocrat.
Feng put a stack of information on the table very straightforwardly and said: "This is the source of all incidents and the beginning of this operation organized by our Quiet Company."
The previous stronghold of Rude and others in Medog had actually been established here before Judekao took over the German company. After Judekao's death, the people from Anjing Company continued to use the stronghold here to monitor Medog.
They actually didn't know much about the Long Finger family, they only knew that they were very mysterious, so when they discovered Zhang Zhuxun's lone Long Finger, they immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity.
A brief summary of the information in the information is that the company Jude Kao is in is a joint-stock company, and there are many mixed forces in it, among which there are two groups of people who are most prominent.
A group of people have been with Jude Kao's company since its establishment. What's very special is that they will voluntarily resign every ten years.
But in fact, this group of people did not leave. They were still there. Their appearance had not changed from the beginning to the end. They just changed their names and inserted themselves into the grassroots level of other departments. The company Jude was admitted to seemed to be thousands of people in front of them. A desolate and uninhabited land.
There is also a group of people who are relatively low-key. This group of people is not large in number. Most of them are senior figures in the company. Their decision-making almost supports Jude Kao unconditionally.
But Jude Kao was not a fool after all. As time passed, he also found that the two groups of people in his company were fighting each other.
As a result, the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit. He used the struggle between the two parties to continuously develop himself, and at the same time, he continued to explore the secrets behind them.
Good night macabaka
