In an oasis in the desert, Lu Changsheng washed the blood on his body, put on another set of clothes, and changed his disguise again.
The scorching sun shone on his bronze skin, reflecting a somewhat masculine glow. He picked up the map and looked at the location. About ten kilometers ahead, he entered the boundary of the Flame Mountains of Xinjiang Province.
"Yeah." Wu Xie, who was wrapped in clothes, suddenly said. He stretched out his little hand and pulled away the clothes, revealing his tender and white skin. He crawled on the sand dunes, as if he wanted to take a bath in the small pool of the oasis.
.
Lu Changsheng quickly hugged him over, tapped his head gently, and said, "You know how to take a bath at such a young age?"
"Yeah." Wuxie opened his eyes wide and struggled to point to the pool with his finger.
"No, you are too young. What should you do if you catch a cold?" Lu Changsheng said sternly.
"Yeah." Wuxie shouted loudly, but a terrifying force came from his weak body, as if in protest.
"Okay, okay, let you wash it." Lu Changsheng had no choice but to think that Wuxie not only swallowed the relics of Monk Hongdu, but also inherited Master Hongdu's skills.
Although Master Hongdu sealed all his skills in the relics in Wuxie's cyclone before his death, when Wuxie was angry, Lu Changsheng would feel frightened by that power.
These days, Wuxie is developing very quickly, especially his brain. He is much smarter than the average baby, and he learns everything he sees.
Every time Lu Changsheng killed someone, he would cover his eyes and not allow him to peek. Otherwise, Lu Changsheng was really worried that Wu Xie would become a murderer in the future.
His childhood was very tragic, so Lu Changsheng didn't want Wuxie's childhood to be as tragic as his. He hoped that Wuxie could grow up happily and carefree. It was best not to have any hatred in his heart. After all, his parents and a
Lu Changsheng had already avenged the town's vengeance on him.
Lu Changsheng put Wuxie on the ground, and Wuxie used his hands and feet to immediately climb into the pool. At first, Lu Changsheng was worried that Wuxie, the little guy, would be submerged in the water, but soon he discovered that Wuxie was white and fat.
The body actually swam gracefully in the pool, like a fish, with a heartless smile on its face.
This suddenly reminded Lu Changsheng of happiness, because this smile was very similar to happiness, carefree and innocent.
"Don't pee in the water!" Seeing Wu Xie suddenly stop, Lu Changsheng immediately shouted.
Sure enough, Wu Xie protested with a "yeah" sound, swam his fat body ashore, and crawled to Lu Changsheng's side on all fours.
Lu Changsheng picked him up, wiped his body dry, and then helped him pee.
"Yeah" Wuxie suddenly pointed to the distance and called out uneasily.
"These lingering ghosts!" Lu Changsheng frowned, wrapped Wu Xie in his clothes, tied it to his chest, and then strode out of the oasis.
After a while, two desert off-road vehicles came speeding over. The people in the vehicles were all armed with guns. One of them, with a scarred face, walked to the waterhole and took a sip of water. He said with a strange expression: "Hey, how could there be something in this water?"
Does it smell like milk?”
"Milk smell? Hahaha, coyote, you've only been out for a few days and you already miss your little mistress?" A person next to him laughed.
"Fuck you." Scarface, who called Coyote, changed his expression, "That kid must have been here before, and he should have bathed the baby. He shouldn't have been away for long!"
Hearing this, several people became cautious. Because of chasing this target, the Beichuan Gang had lost dozens of people. As a last resort, Luo Beichuan helped Luo Beichuan and sent out three elites from their gang.
The one with the scarred face was called Coyote, the one who was mocking him was called Sand Scorpion, and the woman standing aside silently was the leader of their group, Spirit Snake.
"This guy is difficult to deal with!" Sand Scorpion looked at the marks on the ground and frowned.
"If it was easy to deal with, the gang leader wouldn't send us out!" The hyena glanced at him, looked at the spirit snake aside, and said, "What do you think?"
The spirit snake looked at the pool and said calmly: "We should have come earlier and put some poison into the water. Maybe we can see two corpses now."
"Hehe, it's a pity that we are late!" Coyote sneered, "Is this kid really just a college student?"
Neither Spirit Snake nor Sand Scorpion said anything. Although the information stated that their target was a college student, what they saw along the way was corpses, and those people were all killers from the Beichuan gang.
Half an hour later, Lu Changsheng arrived at the town, bought some supplies in the town, and then entered the Flame Mountain without stopping.
Under the afterglow of the sunset, the entire Flame Mountain was reflected red, just like the maple leaves falling in the maple forest in late autumn, all red.
It is bare everywhere, with no vegetation visible. The only difference from the desert may be that the hills in the Flame Mountains look like they have been plowed, with uneven ravines everywhere.
Unlike the mythical Flaming Mountains, the temperature here is not high. After sunset, it feels cool with the climate in the desert.
In his arms, Wuxie fell asleep again. Lu Changsheng wrapped him tightly in clothes, as if he was afraid that he would catch cold, and then took out the animal skin picture and looked at it.
But what disappoints Lu Changsheng is that after the baptism of time, the natural signs in the animal skin map have disappeared. Looking at the endless hills, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a little confused.
The sound of "ding bells" suddenly came. Lu Changsheng looked back and saw several tourists riding camels, led by the tour guide, walking towards Lu Changsheng.
"Is it you?" Qin Luo looked at the person in front of her and her expression changed. However, when she looked at Lu Changsheng up and down, she found that he was different from the person she had seen before.
However, the two of them were dressed exactly the same. They were also carrying swords on their backs and had a baby in their arms. But at this time, Lu Changsheng had changed his appearance again and there was no blood on his body, just like a strange traveler in the desert.
Others in the camel team also looked at Lu Changsheng, especially the local tour guide. They were even more surprised that Lu Changsheng was walking alone in the Flame Mountain without hiring a camel.
You must know that ordinary tourists will definitely hire camels when they come to the Flaming Mountains. In the desert, camels are life-saving straw. Once you lose your way, only camels are there. Generally, camels lead people out of the desert. Of course, the premise is that they are walking out.
Before, nothing happened to humans or camels.
Lu Changsheng ignored Qin Luo's inquiry, took the animal skin map, looked at the tour guide and asked, "Do you know this place?"
The tour guide was not prepared to pay attention to Lu Changsheng, because in his eyes, Lu Changsheng must be the kind of stingy and stingy poor wanderer. Otherwise, why would he not hire camels?
But when he saw the animal skin picture, or the logo that Lu Changsheng pointed to, his expression changed, and he said excitedly: "What are you doing with the fire?"
"Do you know this place?" Lu Changsheng asked.
"No...I don't know." The tour guide quickly shook his head, patted the camel, rang the bell and walked inside.
"Take me here and I'll give you ten thousand yuan!" Lu Changsheng looked at the tour guide's back and said.
The tour guide paused and ignored Lu Changsheng, but said without looking back: "Hurry up, or you won't be able to reach your destination!"
The tourists also followed on camels. When they passed by Lu Changsheng, they all looked at him in surprise, because he was not only dressed strangely, but he didn't look like a rich man. But he just said it was ten thousand. In fact,
It makes people wonder whether he can take it out.
"Who are you?" Qin Luo rode a camel to Lu Changsheng, "Why did you bring your child to this desert? Aren't you afraid..."
Before Qin Luo finished speaking, Lu Changsheng turned around and walked in the opposite direction. The handsome young man next to her looked at Lu Changsheng coldly and said to Qin Luo: "Don't pay attention to this kind of person, maybe he is something."
As for the ruthless bandits, hurry up and leave. It is said that the sea of stars in the desert is the most beautiful. It’s hard to come here, so you can’t miss it.”
Qin Luo nodded, but her eyes lingered on Lu Changsheng. It wasn't until Lu Changsheng disappeared from sight that she came back to her senses and followed him on a camel.
Walking in the desert, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt confused. If even the natural signs of the Flame Mountain were gone, what about the natural signs of the Time Lake?
Just when he was confused, a camel bell suddenly rang behind him, and he heard an obscene voice saying: "Guest, please wait a moment!"
Lu Changsheng stopped and waited until the people behind him approached, then he said, "What do you want?"
This person was obviously a member of the camel team just now, and seemed to be a tour guide, but he seemed to be of a lower level than the tour guide who led the way.
"Guest, is what you just said true?" the tour guide with a sleazy look asked.
"What is real or fake?" Lu Changsheng asked strangely.
"If I am willing to take you to Huolaokou, will you also give me 10,000 yuan?" the wretched tour guide said with a smile on his face.
"So it's for this." Lu Changsheng was overjoyed and said, "If you are willing to take me there, I will give you 10,000 yuan. This is a deposit of 5,000 yuan. After you bring me back, I will give you another
Five thousand yuan.”
Looking at the stack of red banknotes in Lu Changsheng's hand, the tour guide's eyes flashed coldly, but a warm smile appeared on his face: "Haha, it's a deal, I will definitely take you to your destination!"
"What's your name?" Lu Changsheng handed it to him and asked.
"Maimaiti, Daoud." The wretched tour guide took the money and said with enthusiasm, "You can call me Maimaiti."
"Okay, Maimaiti, can you tell me why the tour guide just now didn't want to take me to Huolaokou?" Lu Changsheng asked.
Maimaiti got off the camel and said, "That's a very evil place. You can go anywhere in the Flame Mountain, but you can't go there."
"Why?" Lu Changsheng asked.
"In your eyes, the Flame Mountain is a scenic spot, full of all kinds of bizarre and beautiful legends, but in the eyes of our tribe, the Flame Mountain is not actually called the Flame Mountain." Maimaiti said with a solemn expression.
"What's that called?" Lu Changsheng asked curiously.
"The Gate of Hell!" Maimaiti said, "The gateway to Hell, and Huolaokou is the core of the Gate of Hell!"
