Chapter Nineteen
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.
The construction outside the barrier is completed, but the inside of the barrier remains unchanged. It has to be said that this place has become a tourist attraction, with an endless stream of people visiting every day. The ancient buildings inside have carved beams and painted buildings, and they have extremely high historical and artistic value. At night
In response to the requests of some tourists, the developer launched a ghost town adventure activity, where staff pretend to be ghosts and create a scary environment. This has become even more popular, and the night haunted activity is 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. If it is a hidden place, it is understandable, but if you take more than half a circle, people will almost be vomited.
When we arrived at the location, we discovered that it was a tourist attraction with nearly a million visitors every day. It was like the destination you traveled all the way from home to your own back garden. This is such a speechless thing.
But there was no time for Ye Feng to think. He heard Wu Qi, who got off the car, calling everyone to gather at the gate of the barrier. Ye Feng and Fatty looked at each other. With their tacit understanding, they naturally knew that the look meant: everyone should be careful.
Don't spread out.
Before Ye Feng reached the crowd, he heard the one-eyed man shouting loudly 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 stopped hiding. 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 or not.
The middle-aged man named Wu Qi glanced at the one-eyed man, obviously disdainful of him.
"When I picked up Lama, I made it clear that there was no guarantee that I would have good products. What's more, no matter whether there was good stuff or not, a share of the money from Pickup Lama was indispensable from you. Besides, I, Wu Chopsticks, have been looking for that place in the past few years.
Everyone knows it, and everyone knows it. I don’t know how many times I’ve 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 so 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 said with a smile
"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 need to go underground to look for something. Since ancient times, tombs have been inseparable from wealth and immortality, and immortality and immortality are closely related to chance, 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 about to raise his hands enthusiastically at this time, but seemed to have forgotten that he had originally planned to run away. However, Ye Feng stopped his raised hand.
"Wang Hai and I are a little tired and 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 was dressed in a blue shirt and 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 talk by candlelight tonight, 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 eyes of the tattooed man among the four horse thieves looking at her, and trembled slightly and hid behind Wang Yuan
Pulling the hem of his clothes behind him.
...
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.
"Won't you find another place by yourself and 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."
The fat man 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 campfire. After a moment, he said: "You are here to exchange information, but I don't think I have any useful information to share with you."
transactional"
"Sure enough, it's comfortable 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 trapping the lama, the four horse thieves, and the attractive couple who seem to be here to pick up the leaks. It is still understandable at this point, but why did they rope in a fat guy who has nothing to do with them.
I have seen your Immortal Cultivation Chat Group, and it was obviously a temporary group that was formed for a few days 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 tentatively think that Wu Qi came to look for 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. It 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."
