"Jude Kao? Didn't this guy go back to his hometown in despair?" When Banzhe Li heard that he was an old acquaintance, he immediately became interested.
Zhang Qishan fell into deep thought. Just two days after arriving in the desert, Jude Kao sent a letter to the camp. Either there was a spy in his team, or Jude Kao was also staring at this desert.
But now everyone who dares to follow them has their heads stuck in their belts. Even if there is a spy, he can't go and investigate in a big way. Anyway, it's not sure whether he can come out alive by then, so it's better to let him go.
Thinking of this picture, Qi Shan jokingly said: "Don't look at her now going back to her hometown. When she was here before, she was a real China expert. Maybe she knows more about this desert than we do."
Even though he opened the letter in front of everyone, Zhang Qishan took one look and put away his joking expression, and then his face became serious.
Everyone knew it was broken when they saw it, and they really knew more than us.
Zhang Qishan read the letter at a glance, because there was only one sentence in the letter.
"There is a sword buried on the top of the dragon's veins. Only by digging out that sword can you have a chance." Qi Tiezui took the letter from Zhang Qishan and read it out directly.
"How does Jude Kao know that there is a sword buried on the top of the dragon vein? The descendants of the guards who have been guarding here for generations don't know."
Half Li took the letter from Qi Tiezui and said with some doubts, and at the same time handed the letter to others to circulate.
"Either that group of people concealed the information, or Judekao found some cultural relics that recorded the past, but I feel that it is unlikely that they concealed the information."
After reading the letter, Jie Jiu also expressed his analysis. If those people knew the news, they should have reported the news to Qin Shihuang as early as the Qin Dynasty, and it would not be their turn to explore the desert.
At this time, Qi Tiezui pinched his fingers, and everyone immediately became quiet when they saw that the fortune-telling was finally about to begin.
Everyone was a little uneasy about this trip and wanted to let Qi Tiezui tell his fortune, but they all knew Qi Tiezui's temperament. If it could be calculated or told, everyone would have known it long ago. Since he didn't take the initiative to speak There was a problem, so no one asked him about it.
After Qi Tiezui pinched his fingers for a while, he suddenly became shocked. He hurriedly took out the turtle shell and a few copper coins from his pocket and got into a posture.
When everyone saw that there was something going on, they all immediately hesitated to express their anger, for fear of affecting Qi Tiezui's fortune-telling.
After Qi Tiezui put up his posture, he fired again. No one could understand what he was doing. They saw that his face was getting whiter and whiter, and he was slowly turning as pale as a dead man.
After holding on for a stick of incense like this, Qi Tiezui suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down helplessly.
Zhang Qishan sat next to Qi Tiezui and immediately reached out to support Qi Tiezui, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Lao Ba, are you okay, Lao Ba?" Zhang Qishan asked worriedly when he saw that his face was ashen.
Qi Tiezui waved his hand feebly: "It's okay, just take a moment and you'll be fine."
"Lao Ba, why is your hair white?!" At this moment, the sharp-eyed Er Erhong saw Qi Tiezui's temples slowly turning white, and soon the hair on both temples was completely white.
"How much whiter are you?" Qi Tiezui seemed to have known it for a long time, and just asked calmly how much whiter he was.
"The hair on the temples is all white." Zhang Qishan also noticed something was wrong. It seemed that Lao Ba had really lost his life this time.
"That's okay, that's okay." Qi Tiezui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the hair on his temples was all white.
"Don't worry about it. You should take a rest quickly. If you have anything to do, we can wait until you get up." Seeing his tired look, Zhang Qishan helped him to his bed and let him rest for a while. Qi Tiezui was indeed Tired, I fell asleep on the bed.
Zhang Qishan stood up and waved his hand, and everyone understood and immediately left the tent, letting Qi Tiezui take a good rest.
"We all owe Lao Ba a favor, okay?" Zhang Qishan said to the others after leaving the tent.
Qi Tiezui obviously lost his Yangshou, and everyone would not deny this sentiment, so they naturally responded, even Chen Pi was no exception.
Qi Tiezui didn't wake up until the evening of the next day. Everyone gathered after hearing that Qi Tiezui woke up.
"Baby, you've had a long sleep this time. How are you? Are you feeling better?" Huo Sanniang asked worriedly, seeing that Qi Tiezui still looked weak.
"Much better, but my body is a little deficient, and I have to make up for it slowly." Qi Tiezui sipped the gruel in small sips, feeling warm all over his body as soon as the warm gruel entered his stomach.
"I asked you what kind of fortune-telling you were doing. Why are you vomiting blood and having a gray head? With the same posture as yesterday, I thought you had to go there on the spot."
Wu Laogou saw that Qi Tiezui was just weak and his hair was no longer gray, so he asked about yesterday's hexagram.
Qi Tiezui suddenly became excited when he heard Wu Laogou ask about yesterday's hexagram.
"I made a divination yesterday to ask about the good or bad luck of this trip. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he wanted to flirt with him, everyone started asking questions in support.
"Nine, death, one, life." Seeing the crowd's support, Qi Tiezui stopped showing off and said it word for word.
After he finished speaking, he stared at everyone, as if he was coming to praise me, and everyone also stared at Qi Tiezui, as if you continue to talk and I am listening.
After about ten seconds, Zhang Qishan saw that Qi Tiezui had stopped talking, so he asked doubtfully: "That's all?"
"That's all!" Qi Tiezui said decisively.
Everyone immediately found a seat and sat down.
"Xiao Qi, how can you expect a narrow escape after you've beaten yourself to death?" Wu Laogou asked in a frivolous tone with his legs crossed and a dog in his arms.
"Then what else do you want to know?" Qi Tiezui was not angry. He relaxed after calculating the result.
"When I was in Changsha, the same day after Lord Buddha informed us, I wanted to make a fortune for us when I went back. I immediately laid out everything and prepared to figure out how we could finish this big fight safely.
But as soon as I thought of the hexagram, I suddenly felt uneasy in my heart, as if I would die suddenly if I dared to predict this hexagram, and my good-looking guy would even be broken into two halves.
Then I changed to another set of tools, and settled for the next best thing, preparing to test our luck and misfortune, but the result was still inconclusive, so I broke another set of tools. "
Everyone's faces became serious when they heard this. They were all people who had experienced strong winds and waves. They had seen a lot of serious omens, but this was the first time they heard about it.
"What does your situation that can't be calculated mean?" Ban Li had never seen such a thing before and asked immediately.
"In our profession, it is easy to lose Yin De. If the Yin De is greatly damaged, life will be shortened. But for any hexagram indicating that life will be shortened, you will have an omen in your heart. If this cannot be calculated, it means that your life span is not long enough."
"Is it possible that you are a short-lived ghost?" Wu Laogou also raised his own question. This is not impossible.
"Old dog Wu, you fart. It's hard to say how long I will live, Eighth Master, but I can live to be seventy or eighty, no problem." Qi Tiezui's defense was also broken, and he immediately cursed.
Wu Laogou was not annoyed, he just hugged the dog and laughed.
"No wonder I've been seeing you so preoccupied during this period." Zhang Qishan also understood why he felt Qi Tiezui was absent-minded along the way. He originally thought he had calculated some bad hexagram, but it turned out that he couldn't calculate it at all.
Qi Tiezui also found that he was so angry at this old dog that he continued to say when he saw Zhang Qishan asking: "Yes, later on when we came back from exploring the area, I thought that knowing so much was enough, but the result was still Not even good or bad luck can be calculated.
Until the letter from Jude Kao came, I originally wanted to give it a try to see if it was fake news, but in the end I thought I could forget it, but who knew that my lifespan would still be shortened. "
After Qi Tiezui finished speaking, he felt a little disappointed and touched the white hair beside his ears.
"Don't worry, I owe you a favor for this. I won't stand idly by if something happens in the future." Zhang Qishan patted Qi Tiezui on the shoulder and promised aloud.
Others also said that they also owed Qi Tiezui a favor and would speak out if anything happened in the future.
Wu Laogou rolled his eyes, hugged the dog and said with a swish: "Don't worry, Laoba, if you die young, I will take care of your wife for you."
After saying that, he was punched by Huo Sanniang. Wu Laogou hugged the dog and shrank back without saying anything mean.
Qi Tiezui raised his head and pointed his nostrils at Wu Laogou, expressing his disdain for him.
"It seems like, although I don't know where Jude Kao got the news, it is indeed correct."
Zhang Qishan knocked on the table and brought the topic back.
"Don't tell me, this guy is really capable. His ancestors have been guarding here for more than two thousand years, and they didn't know that there was a sword buried on the top of the dragon vein. He has only been in China for a few years, but he knows everything about it. I don’t know how much information is hidden but not revealed.”
When Wu Laogou saw that the conversation was about serious business, he also put away his careless look and carefully analyzed the meaning of Jude's actions.
"The fifth master is right. Jude Kao is a man who doesn't want to get up early for no profit. Judging from the list of native masters he handed over to him, he wants us to die. He definitely didn't tell us this out of good intentions."
Jie Jiu continued Wu Laogou's analysis and saw everyone nodding in agreement, so he continued: "So he must also want to get something from this desert, and the most attractive thing in this desert is the secret of immortality. .
But since he dared to share some of the information with us, it shows that he is sure that we will not be able to get the rumored secret this time.
Then either he wants us to crack part of the mechanism, and then he will profit from the remaining information, or the chance to crack this place has never come. "
Everyone nodded after hearing this, otherwise people would say that Jiumen Jiejiu relies on his brain to make a living. He thinks things through carefully and speaks eloquently.
"After all, there's no way we can succeed this time." Huo Sanniang was also a little frustrated. Qi Tiezui even lost his life trying to tell a fortune, but it turned out that there was still no chance.
"Everyone, don't forget what we are here for. We are not looking for treasures and the secrets of immortality. We are here to give an explanation to the higher ups. If it doesn't work, let's take the sword back and give them an explanation. "
At this time, Zhang Qishan spoke up to remind everyone, and only then did everyone react. Yes, we are not here for some bullshit secret. We are forced to come here because of others.
Jude is convinced that we can't get the secret of immortality. If we can't get it, we can't get it. It would be great to get the sword back.
Being specifically reminded by Judecao means that the sword must be extraordinary, and they must be embarrassed to turn their backs and disown him.
Moreover, we went in once and not only came back alive but also brought back a sword. If we still want the secret of immortality, we are definitely the best candidates to go into the desert again.
No one was pedantic, foolish or loyal, and most of the gloom in their hearts immediately dissipated.
Zhang Qishan saw everyone reacting and immediately decided: "Then let's recharge our batteries and wait for the lightning and thunder during the New Year. Then it will be our time to enter the desert."
Naturally, the others wouldn't have any objections. If they really tried to break in, they would all die without even being able to see the tomb. They would be secretly happy to catch up with the lightning and thunder for three days.
"Now we have the right time, right place, and right people. I hope our Nine Sects can get through this." Qi Tiezui said with emotion.
"Yes, Jiumen will be fine for sure." Er Erhong said lightly, and then returned to her tent.
Several other sect owners immediately returned to their tents, instructing the people below to recharge their batteries and wait for the opportunity to enter the desert.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, they not only refreshed their spirits, but also harassed all the elderly people in the area. They only felt relieved after making sure that no information was leaked.
"Everyone, today is the 29th, and tomorrow will be the New Year. We have to send people to keep an eye on the desert at all times, and then drive straight into it when there is thunder. Remember to maintain a good formation, no one knows Are there any other dangers? Don't lose your troops before you see the tomb."
Zhang Qishan also gave the instructions again before taking action. After all, this mission was a narrow escape even if Qi Tiezui lost his life.
I don't know how many unknown dangers there will be inside. These people brought here are all the elites of the Nine Sects. They are really dying. Even if the higher ups don't purge them, the Nine Sects will still exist in name only.
Everyone also nodded solemnly, knowing that this trip was dangerous and no one would slack off.
So everyone stood ready and waited for the thunder to sound before they raced towards the center of the desert.
Finally, at 0 o'clock, the whole desert suddenly started to thunder and lightning, and countless thunder and lightning fell from the sky. Although they fell scattered on the desert, this scene like a punishment from heaven still brought unparalleled shock to everyone. Shocking.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Let's go!" Zhang Qishan sat in the passenger seat and shouted to everyone who was still dazed.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and regardless of the shock, they got into the car one after another, and the convoy began to rush towards the desert under the sea of thunder.
"Lord Buddha, Lord Buddha, will we be struck by lightning like this?" Qi Tiezui looked at the lightning that fell not far from the car and asked Zhang Qishan with some worry.
Zhang Qishan glanced at Qi Tiezui.
"Educated or not, even if we are struck by lightning, we will be fine in the car. Just go ahead at full speed."
When the driver heard this, he immediately stepped on the accelerator. When the cars behind him saw the lead car accelerating, they also accelerated. In an instant, the convoy was heading towards the middle of the desert like a very fast crawling python.
After driving at full speed for a whole day, Zhang Qishan and Qi Tiezui, who were running at the front, vaguely saw a huge yellow mountain range.
"Lord Buddha, that's where the dragon's head is, and the mausoleum must be under that head." Qi Tiezui pointed to the mountains in the distance and said excitedly to Zhang Qishan.
"Go at full speed towards that mountain range."
Wangshan ran to death, and it was not until two hours later that Zhang Qishan and the others reached the foot of the mountain range. Everyone got out of the car and looked at the mountain range standing in the middle of the desert with no grass growing on it. They all cheered up. From now on, danger is coming...
