It was already around 11:30 pm when the convoy arrived at the so-called sealed place. When Ye Feng got off the car and saw the towering city walls, he realized that the so-called sealed place was not a mysterious place at all, but S city is known to everyone as a "ghost town".
The so-called ghost town is not a real ghost town, but an abandoned ancient fortress building. A few years ago, in order to promote local economic development, the S City Development Bureau included this place as one of the tourism development planning projects. The year before last, some basic public facilities had been installed in the surrounding area. Construction outside the barrier was completed, but inside the barrier remained unchanged. It has to be said that this place has become a tourist attraction. There is an endless stream of people visiting every day. The ancient buildings with carved beams and painted buildings have extremely high historical and artistic value. At night, the developers even launched a ghost town in response to the requests of some tourists. An adventure activity in which staff pretend to be ghosts and create a scary environment. This has become even more popular, with night hauntings being the most popular among couples.
But what is strange to Ye Feng is that this place takes up to 40 minutes on the main road, so why does it take more than 4 hours to take a detour. It's understandable if it's a hidden place, but if you go around half a circle, people will almost be vomited. When I arrived at the location, I discovered that it was a tourist attraction with nearly a million visitors every day. It's like you've traveled all the way from your doorstep and your destination is actually your own back garden. This is such a speechless thing.
But there was no time for Ye Feng to think, when he heard Wu Qi, who got out of the car, calling for everyone to gather at the gate of the barrier. Ye Feng and Fatty looked at each other. With the tacit understanding between the two of them, they naturally knew that the look in their eyes meant: Be careful and don't get distracted.
Before Ye Feng reached the crowd, he heard the one-eyed man shouting from a distance.
"Wu Chopsticks, what good things can be found underground in this well-known ghost town?"
Sure enough, when they arrived at the end of the field, the group of horse thieves no longer hid. The reason they shouted loudly was to tell others what I was here to do. If you want to run away, you will have to guess whether I have good intentions.
The middle-aged man named Wu Qi glanced at the one-eyed man, obviously disdainful of him.
"When I picked up the Lama, I made it clear that there was no guarantee that I would have good products. What's more, regardless of whether the Goods are available or not, a share of the money from the Pickup Lama is indispensable from you. Besides, I, Wu Chopsticks, have been looking for that place in the past few years. On the road. Everyone knows it, and everyone knows it. I don’t know how many times I have done it in vain. How can you not know it? So if you want to show your identity to others at this time, just say it directly and don’t play tricks."
The one-eyed man didn't say it just to ask for the answer to this question.
But Wu Qi glanced at everyone and smiled.
"It seems that you don't need your single eye to do such unnecessary things. Everyone present understands that I organized these four masters to steal the wood. To be precise, the four of them came to steal the wood. I I just happen to need to go underground to look for something. Since ancient times, tombs have been inseparable from wealth and longevity, and longevity is closely related to cultivation of immortality and luck, so I have no intention of lying to you."
Of course, it is impossible for Wu Chopsticks to tell others that 4 heads may be needed later.
"Now these four of us and I are going to go to the dragon's lair. As for whether you have your own plans or go down together with the five of us, I won't force you to make your own choice, but no matter what you choose, you must tell me within 5 minutes. , we’ll leave in 5 minutes.”
"I think..." The fat man was just about to raise his hands enthusiastically at this time, as if he had forgotten that he had originally planned to run away. But Ye Feng stopped his raised hand.
"Wang Hai and I are a little tired, and we just want to take a rest here tonight."
Wu Qi looked at Ye Feng with a half-smile, and then turned to Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu, dressed in blue and green, was swinging a folding fan in an indescribably elegant manner.
"Brother Ye and I hit it off as soon as we met. I wanted to take advantage of the candlelight tonight to talk, so I didn't go in."
"What about you?" the last person asked was the addict couple.
"We also want to rest outside tonight," Wang Yuan said. At this moment, Jiang Xin felt the greedy gaze of the tattooed man among the four horse thieves looking at her. She trembled slightly and hid behind Wang Yuan and pulled the corner of his clothes.
. . . . . .
After the five members of Lama's team entered, a bonfire was lit in the wilderness outside the barrier. The fat man was gnawing on compressed biscuits carelessly. With his mouth full of food, he said dissatisfiedly to Jiang Yu and Ren Xiaojin on the other side of the bonfire. "You won't find another place by yourself, insist on being crowded with us? I hate narrow eyes, narrow eyes are monsters."
Jiang Yu gently shook the folding fan and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you that Brother Ye and I hit it off immediately and wanted to talk by candlelight at night. Besides, squinting my eyes is a birth defect of mine. I'm not a monster."
Fatty said in his heart, only a ghost would believe your words.
Ye Feng kept looking at Jiang Yu, his calm eyes reflecting the swaying flames of the bonfire. After a while, he said: "You are here to exchange information, but I don't think I have any useful information to make a deal with you."
"Sure enough, it's nice to talk to smart people," Jiang Yu smiled. He looked back at the girl in the peaked hat. Seeing that the peaked hat moved up and down to express his agreement, he continued, "I want to hear your analysis. Maybe I I can’t help but give you some additional information, so there’s no need to trade.”
Ye Feng thought silently for a moment,
"good"
“So far, there are so many weird and unreasonable things about the whole thing.
First of all, the composition of the team is very strange. Wu Qi is the one who traps the lama, the four horse thieves, and the attractive couple who seem to be here to pick up the missing people. At this point, it is still understandable, but why are they roped in a fat guy who has nothing to do with them. I've seen your Immortal Cultivation Chat Group, and it was clearly a temporary group that was only a few days old for some purpose. Fatty said that it was Wu Qi who took the initiative to apply as a friend and joined the group. And you. . . "
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Xiaojin and I had someone to connect us. We were looking for a disappearing barrier, so we took the initiative to find Wu Qi and asked him to pick us up along the way. So we are not evil men or women."
Only then did Ye Feng realize that the conversation between him and Fatty in the car might have been overheard, but he had checked before and there was no bug.
"Why did Wu Qi do this? I temporarily think that Wu Qi came to find something. When he came to this place, he needed Fatty. When Fatty mentioned that he needed to bring another person, he hesitated at first but finally agreed and told him Fatty must want me to be there. I’m sure Wu Qi didn’t know me before. This means that the reason why he needs Fatty is not because there is anything special about Fatty, but because of the number of people. Logically speaking, the fewer irrelevant people the better, why does he need the number of people? , the only explanation is that the place they go to needs to meet a certain number of people,"
Jiang Yu gently applauded three times and said, "They really need four living sacrifices to open the entrance."
