Tie Fei's residence surprised Deng Long. Tie Fei's residence was a huge castle, and it looked like an old castle. Castles were rare in China, and castles in the desert were...
It's even rarer to see this Tie Fei being so mysterious and unpredictable. Deng Long secretly thought that he might not get on the pirate ship, so he could only take one step at a time.
Tie Fei walked to the gate of the castle and knocked hard on the black iron door a few times. The rusty gray rust on the iron door fell straight down. Tie Fei turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Brother, don't be ridiculous.
"My little brother hasn't returned to the castle for a long time. It must be because the servants in the castle are lazy."
Deng Long smiled and said nothing. After a while, the iron door made a creaking sound, and the secret door of the iron door was opened from the inside. An old man poked his head out of the secret door. When he saw Tie Fei with a smile on his face, his expression changed drastically.
Quickly closed the secret door
The huge sound of "boom" even made Deng Long who was standing on the steps feel the vibration. The huge iron door slowly opened from the middle to both sides. Deng Long's eyes lit up. Two rows of people greeted him respectfully from the castle.
came out, one of them was spreading a red carpet in front, and a woman walked slowly towards the door on the red carpet.
The people in the row on the left are all wearing black robes, and the people in the row on the right are all wearing black trousers and white shirts, which is the most popular Western dress. The woman is wearing a Western lady's bun, with big golden eyes,
With fair skin and long skirt, she suddenly looked like a beautiful Western woman, followed by ten delicate women in white skirts, holding the skirt of this woman, the scene was really grand.
Tie Fei stood at the door, proudly raising his head and looking at the woman with a smile. Deng Long felt that at this moment, Tie Fei's temperament completely changed. He was so domineering. Although he was smiling, he revealed an invisible aura.
majesty
"Boom, boom, boom" three cannon shots sounded in the castle
"Welcome Master!" Two rows of strong men knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Fei, you're back!" The Western woman put her hands on her waist and bent down to salute.
"Daili, we are husband and wife. No need to be too polite, I will introduce you to you. This is my new brother..." Tie Fei helped the woman up, turned to look at Deng Long, and was about to introduce him, when he suddenly realized that he
I don’t know Deng Long’s name yet
"Madam, my name is Chu Xiong!" Deng Long didn't want to tell his real name, so he bent down and saluted.
"Chu Xiong, hello!" A trace of surprise flashed across Dai Li's face and she said with a smile.
Tie Fei carefully pushed Dai Li on the waist and said: "Daili, hurry up and arrange the dinner, and ask the doctor in the castle to prepare for the operation. Three of my brothers are slightly injured."
Dai Li nodded, glanced at Deng Long, and walked into the side room of the castle to make arrangements first. The three coachmen followed Ma Tiexin and the others on their backs. Although Deng Long was worried and worried, he was helpless.
The castle is very luxurious. The hall is filled with candles and is very bright. A huge round table is placed in the center of the hall, with crystal tea trays and fruits on the table.
"Brother Chu, please sit down!" Tie Fei sat in the upper seat and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Brother Iron, this castle is so grand. It must have been difficult to build in the past. It would have cost a lot of money and manpower to build such a castle in the desert," Deng Long said with a smile.
Two strong men in black robes respectfully handed the red wine to Tie Fei and Deng Long and then retreated.
"Yes, this castle was built when my grandfather was still alive, but he had to do it out of necessity!" Tie Fei turned his head with the wine glass and pointed at the hanging man in white silk with cyan hanging in the center of the castle.
The portrait of the melon-skinned hat, said slowly
"It seems that my ancestor must be something great!" Deng Long took a sip of red wine and smiled.
"My grandfather was originally a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River with a rich family fortune. However, the Manchu Qing government was too corrupt. My grandfather was repeatedly squeezed by others. Finally, he got tired of it, so he came to the Western Regions and built this castle. My father died young.
I have become the youngest owner of this castle, but because I am traveling around, I rarely go back to the castle once." Tie Fei raised his wine glass, feeling a little sad.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to mention Brother Tie's sadness." Deng Long raised his glass and apologized.
"Brother Chu, it's okay! You don't have to worry about food and clothing in the castle. It has advanced medical equipment. Brother Chu, just feel free to stay here," Tie Fei said
After a while, the servants brought the food, and Deng Long and Tie Fei finished their dinner.
"Brother Chu, look at these dozens of rows of hidden grids. They were built by our ancestors to defend against desert bandits." Tie Fei smiled and pointed at the hidden grids.
"Brother Tie Fei, I have a problem. Once I have doubts in my heart, I always have to express them quickly, so I want to ask my brother a few questions. I wonder if I can clear my doubts." Deng Long and Tie Fei walked on the winding road.
On the stairs, Deng Long suddenly stopped and asked
"Brother Chu, please speak!" Tie Fei thought for a while and said
"Brother Tie, why are you helping my brothers? Is it really out of loyalty?" Deng Long said solemnly.
"Brother Chu, why are you asking this question? Is it because you suspect that your younger brother has an agenda?" Tie Fei asked in return.
"Brother Tie Fei, don't be offended. Of course I'm grateful for the help. I'm just asking casually." Seeing the nervous expression on Tie Fei's face, Deng Long smiled and said
"The reason is actually very simple. I heard that there is a treasure in Dunhuang, and I want to join in the fun. I hope that I can be counted among the brothers to help me." Tie Fei met Deng Long's gaze and said firmly.
Deng Long nodded and didn't want to ask any more questions. The truth or falsehood of Tie Fei's words was no longer important. After all, Tie Fei still wanted to get the treasure.
"While walking along the way, I found that there seemed to be no other people in this Black Wind Town. Brother Tie, look at it, it has already reached the 10th day of lighting, and every household is in darkness. Could it be that this Black Wind Town really has no one except the people in Brother Tie's castle?
Is there anyone else?" Deng Long walked up to the top of the castle, holding on to the railing, blowing the cool night wind, pointing at the dark Heifeng Town, and said to Tie Fei
A trace of panic flashed across Tie Fei's face, he was silent for a while and said: "Brother Chu, do you want to smoke?" After saying that, he took out a cigarette case and a brass lighter from his trouser pocket.
Deng Long nodded, took Tie Fei's cigarette, put it on his mouth, took out the lighter, lit it and took two puffs, looking at the dark desert with infinite emotion in his heart.
Tie Fei lit up his cigarette, took two puffs, pointed to a place with a flashing red dot in the distance and asked
"If I remember correctly, it seems to be a small temple. What's wrong?" Deng Long asked
"All the weird things in Black Wind Town are caused by it. Today is the festival day of Black Wind God. Fire and fasting are prohibited. The residents of Black Wind Town can't even drink water," Tie Fei said with a pale face.
"What kind of god is this Black Wind God? Why are there so many taboos?" Deng Long asked in confusion.
"According to legend, there is a Black Wind Mountain in the desert, and countless gods live in it. They control the desert, rain, livestock, harvests, life, old age, illness, and death, etc., and their main god is called Black Wind God. Today is the festival day of Black Wind God.
"Tie Feidao
"Black Wind God?" Deng Long didn't know much about deserts, so he didn't know much about Black Wind God either.
"Well, everyone who enters the desert, their life and death is in the hands of Black Wind God, no one can escape!" Tie Fei suddenly raised his voice, his face twitched twice, and said coldly
