The old scholar knows a lot. When he was young, he worked at the National Museum of China and the Inner Treasury. With his knowledge and vision, it is more than enough to become a professor of archeology in the History Department of Tsinghua University and Peking University.
As if telling a story, he told me the past life background of the three Xixia national treasures. After the old scholar and Xiao Kai left, he called out the secrets of the three of us in the middle of the night. The place where we were talking was some distance away from the camp.
I already know why he came to Blackwater City.
If the three things the old scholar said were buried in Blackwater City, how could they not come? It is impossible not to come!
The attraction is too great, and the tomb robbers are so good at it. Some things are not a matter of how much they are worth, but some things I really wish I could get my hands on and take a look at before I die.
I have some vague guesses about why Tou Tou left Dou Sprout Zai without saying goodbye to me in Yinchuan, but I dare not say.
After arriving here, Douyazai was the first to speak loudly: "What's going on? Boss, I told you before, we don't want to go back, we've all come here, let's make a fortune together."
I told you to keep your voice down. It’s so loud. Don’t you know that walls have ears?
Dou Sprout covered his mouth and whispered: "It's past two o'clock, everyone should be asleep. Who can hear us running so far away?"
I asked Xiaoxuan to go out to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and then we had a secret meeting.
Seeing that he couldn't drive away the bean sprouts, he sighed and lowered his voice when he spoke.
"Yunfeng, Yazai, do you know why the earthworker named Ma Deming ran away a few days ago?"
I said you haven't told me the reason for this. Ma Deming said that he came here with Jiu Qingshui. I think he meant that he was scared when he encountered the sand tomb and didn't dare to do anything before running away.
Hearing what I said, he shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. After all, he is also a geotechnical worker who came here with Jiuqingshui, so he is not that timid."
"Four days ago, we discovered a small underground palace in the desert about thirty miles north of here, and found a total of four valuable things."
"Small underground palace?"
r>
I don't understand. Isn't the boss a quicksand tomb? The small underground palace with just four pieces of goods is a quicksand tomb?
The leader said: "The quicksand tomb that Ma Deming said is true, and we did kill people there. The quicksand tomb is very large, far larger than the Guozhuang Chu Tomb. Because of Alxa's unique wind and sand environment, it makes that
The thickness of the mound of earth covering the tomb has increased more than dozens of times, and it is buried very deep underground.”
"So, Boss, you mean you haven't succeeded in this quicksand tomb? Because you encountered difficulties, your group started to look for other targets, so you discovered a small underground palace four days ago and succeeded. Yes.
Is that what I said?"
I saw him nodding, and immediately asked in confusion: "Why did Ma Deming run if he didn't even touch it? What is he afraid of?"
"Could it be said that the black eats the black?"
The head nodded gloomily.
I took a breath and said, five or six people died before.
"Three of them were murdered." After saying this, he looked over at Xiaoxuan.
"That's why I let you go. This time it's not a joke. One of the three people who died was from Jiuqingshui. I don't even know who killed him."
"I, Wang Xiansheng, did not dare to fight for the four things I retrieved from the underground palace. Yunfeng, you should know that returning to the customs is just superficial cooperation. Once those few things are found, there will definitely be chaos in the end."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and let me touch his lower back.
When I touched it, I felt a hard lump with a handle.
gun.
Dou Sprout's face also became serious. He frowned and said: "If this is the case, then we have to stay. I will protect you, and I will kill anyone who wants to harm you first! Who cares about the Jiuqingshui Flying Rat!"
"Haha." There was a smile on the head's face.
He put one hand on my shoulder and the other on Dou Sprout Zai's shoulder.
"I won't change my mind on this matter. Yunfeng, Yazai, you two together are less than forty years old. I, Wang Xiansheng, am over seventy years old. There is no harm in fighting. Besides, I have no chance of winning. These nine people
Two of them have secretly formed an alliance with me."
"Who? Have you formed an alliance with the old scholar and Xiao Kai?" I asked with a frown.
He smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't say it. You can't say it until the last moment."
"I'm a good fighter!" Douya patted his chest and promised, "I can beat you on the head! What about Xiao Ci and Dongbei Xiaokai? I'm not afraid of them at all! If you don't accept it, come and give it a try!"
"You." He looked at Dou Yazai and asked Dou Yazai seriously, have you ever killed anyone?
"Kill. Kill. That's not the case yet." Dou Sprout said hesitantly.
"Listen to me and go back to Yinchuan tomorrow and wait for news from me."
He raised his head and said with longing: "If I, Wang Xiansheng, can get one of the three things, whether it is the Tearing Buddha or the Miaoyin Bird, then I will go back to find you. When the time comes, I will bid 100 million. Think about you."
How much money can be divided?”
"If you don't get it in the end, with the secret alliance between me and the other two, I should be able to save my life. On the contrary, if the three of you stay to help me, not only will you be in danger and unable to help, but you will also hinder me in every way.
The plan is, in the end, maybe everyone will be buried in Alxa."
I sighed.
I know what Tou said is right. We two little kids plus Xiaoxuan and a little girl can't help if we stay here.
I can't defeat any of these nine people. A person like Xiaoxuan is so helpless that if she is forced to stay, she will become a burden.
I'm a bitch.
"Someone is coming!" At this moment, Xiaoxuan, who was in charge of the release, suddenly replied
The head shouts to us.
The head looked gloomy and said to leave quickly.
"Oh, it's Wang Xiansheng, what kind of meeting are you having with these three kids in this dark place?
Before we could disperse, we were blocked by someone.
This man wears two rings of iron chains as a belt around his waist. He is the one named Zhu Baochao.
His head returned to calmness.
"Master Zhu, you're still up so late. Are you out for a walk because you have some leisure time?"
"Hey, why are you taking a walk?" Zhu Baochu said in the darkness: "I couldn't sleep, I was hungry, and I wanted to walk around to find some firewood to roast something to eat, and I happened to see the four of you having a meeting here."
"How about you guys come and have some midnight snacks? I've got everything done."
"Okay, my stomach is also empty, so it's better to be respectful than to obey." He picked his head and talked to Zhu Bao like they were old friends for many years.
Zhu Baochao nodded, turned around and said, come on.
"Follow me," he said, don't show any timidity. So far, we are still cooperating when we return home, and nothing will happen to the person named Zhu.
Then we followed Zhu Bao to the place where he made the fire.
A homemade grill was set up on the fire, and two large handfuls of meat skewers were hung on the rack.
"This one should be cooked." Zhu Baochao asked us to sit down and have a midnight snack.
The meat on the skewers was a bit dry. Seeing the bean sprouts and the head eating it as if nothing had happened, I brought the meat to my mouth and put it down again.
"Just a little cumin noodles will be good. Young man, try it. It's not poisonous and there's nothing to worry about. Why did you eat it without even looking at Wang Xiansheng?" Zhu Baozhao looked at me with a smile on his face and said.
I frowned and asked, "Master Zhu, right? You came to rob the tomb and prepared so much food?"
"Where did the meat you put on the mutton skewers come from?"
Hearing my sudden question, Zhu Bao wiped the grease stains from his mouth.
The look in my eyes turned cold.
