The Partridge Post was referring to a few foreigners on the ship. The Partridge Post peeked for a long time and felt that these foreigners were acting suspiciously, and they all had guns hidden on their bodies. There were several foreign shovels and iron drill ropes in their luggage, and they gathered together to whisper.
muttering
The strangest thing is that these foreigners are not like those that Partridge Whistle has come into contact with on a daily basis. Partridge Whistle knows some foreigners and understands part of their language, but these foreigners on the ship are not like the old-fashioned and reserved British.
Unlike the serious Germans or the casual Americans, these foreigners with big noses and flaxen hair had a hooligan air all over their bodies. It was strange to know which country they were from. The Partridge Whistle took another look and finally thought.
I understand, it turns out to be an old Russian with a big nose.
The Partridge Whistle felt that these Russians might have gone to Blackwater City to dig up antiques. After the revolution in Russia, many people fled from the country, and their descendants have been living in China. They do not recognize themselves as Soviets, and use Russian aliases as Russians.
People think they are doing illegal business.
Elder Liaochen is also a person who has eyes and ears in all directions. Naturally, he understands the meaning behind the words of Partridge Whistle, and tells Partridge Whistle not to act rashly: What we do is confidential, we must avoid people's eyes and ears, and try not to cause too many troubles.
.
Partridge Whistle said to Elder Chen: "When the disciples go over and find out, if these foreign devils are also going to Blackwater City to steal treasures, they will be very close to our goal and will be in the way. Find a place where no one is around and kill them conveniently, so as not to keep them."
There will be trouble later.
Without waiting for Elder Chen to dissuade him, Partridge Whistle squeezed into the crowd and went near the Russians to eavesdrop on their conversation. It turned out that there were six people in this group, five Russians and one American.
The five Russians were all descendants of Tsarist Russia in exile in China, and they were engaged in the business of reselling arms. They heard that a large number of cultural relics had been unearthed in Blackwater City, and they thought it would be profitable, so they planned to try their luck and secretly dig out a few boxes.
The American is a priest in his 30s and 40s. He went to Ningqing and other places to preach in the past few years. During the trip, he visited the ruins of Heishui City. The priest traveled around China and planned to go to Yinchuan and other places again to promote belief in God and eternal life.
This matter was accidentally mentioned to the five Russians they met on the road. The Russians took the opportunity to say that they wanted to do business there, and asked the priest to take them to Blackwater City to see it.
Very few people would lie to clergy, so the priest didn't know what the trick was. There was a language barrier between the six of them. The Russians didn't speak English, and the Americans didn't speak Russian. Fortunately, both parties had stayed in China for a long time, and both of them couldn't.
If you can speak Chinese, use Chinese to communicate with each other.
Partridge Whistle listened to a few sentences, and only heard that three out of ten sentences from those people were talking about Blackwater City. The American priest didn't know that these people wanted to dig up cultural relics and tell them what they saw and heard in Blackwater City, no matter how big or small.
They all told me that the pagoda there is half buried underground, and there are a large number of Buddha statues inside, all inlaid with gold and silver, and beautifully shaped. Some of the Buddha statues are carved from ivory and ancient jade, and they are beautiful and beautiful.
Miraculous craftsmanship that only the hands of God can create.
The five Russians drooled after hearing this. They took out Vodka and drank two gulps. They wished they could get wings and fly to Blackwater City immediately, dig up all those precious cultural relics, and exchange them for a large amount of tobacco, women, guns and ammunition, and more.
There is Watga.
After hearing this, Partridge Whistle sneered in his heart. Partridge Whistle had also gone to Heishui City to find the Tongtian Buddhist Temple, so he was very familiar with the ruins of Heishui City. In fact, these big noses didn't know that it had emerged in Europe as early as the 19th century.
During a boom in Chinese exploration, most of Blackwater City's cultural relics were stolen and excavated. Now there are only some clay statues and tiles left in the city's ruins, and most of them are in dilapidated condition. The American priest doesn't know how to appreciate cultural relics. See
When they saw some colorful clay statues, they claimed they were made of ivory and ancient jade, and the Russians believed them to be true.
But then I thought about it, no, what kind of look does it have to look at the clay and stone statues as treasures inlaid with gold and jade? Even if the American priest had no discernment, he would not be able to see such a big error. Could it be that the American priest mistakenly
I accidentally found the Tongtian Grand Buddha Temple. According to the description in the words of the American priest, it really looked like a temple buried underground.
Partridge Whistle thought of this and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He wanted to continue to eavesdrop on their conversation. Suddenly, the hull of the boat swayed and the entire huge ferry was thrown sideways in the river. More than a hundred passengers on board were unable to stand.
Stable, as the ship lurched this way and that, the sound of crying fathers and mothers screaming in pain became a chaotic mess.
Partridge Whistle was worried about Elder Chen and ignored the foreigners. He quickly rushed to Elder Chen in the chaotic crowd. Elder Chen said to Partridge Whistle: No, I'm afraid I encountered something in the water.
At this time, the originally calm river water began to roll as if a pot had suddenly boiled. The boat's hull was spinning in the center of the river. The boatmen and passengers on the boat were all in a mess. The boss of the boat took out a pig's head and threw it in like a magic trick.
In the river, they placed a plate of roast chicken, lit a few sticks of incense, knelt on the deck, and kowtowed to the river.
But the actions of the boat boss had no effect, and the boat was spinning sideways in the river, unable to move. The boat boss suddenly had an idea, knelt down in front of the passengers on the boat, kowtowed and said: Old and young gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen.
, Aunts and sisters, did someone say something taboo on Zhouzi? Lord Dragon took it seriously this time. If he didn’t do it, none of us would be able to survive. Who said what?
Don't drag us all together to die together, okay? I'm going to kowtow to you. After saying that, I kowtowed my head loudly on the deck.
Everyone saw a huge wall of water erected in the river around the boat. Everyone's face changed color in shock. Even if someone said something unspeakable on the boat, there was nowhere to find him at that moment.
When he was at a loss, a businessman pointed at a woman with a child in her arms and shouted: It's her, it's her, it's what she said, I heard it.
Partridge Whistle and Elder Liaochen also looked with everyone, and saw the businessman grabbing a woman holding a three or four-year-old child and saying: Her baby keeps crying, and this woman is annoyed by the baby's crying.
If the baby cries again, he will throw the baby into the river.
When the businessman said this, several people around him also expressed that this was indeed the case. Sure enough, it was this woman. Her child started crying loudly after getting on the boat. The woman coaxed him for a long time, and the more he cried, the louder he cried. Everyone around him started crying.
When a woman feels irritable, she will scare the child: if he cries again, he will throw him into the river to feed the fish.
Even after scaring her, it didn't work. The child was still crying and making a fuss. At this moment, the boat started to spin in the river and could not move. The woman had never seen the world, so she didn't know how powerful these things were. At this time, everyone on the boat was shocked.
Staring at the child in her arms, she was so frightened that she sat on the deck and started crying.
The boss of the boat knelt down to the woman: Sister, how dare you say such disrespectful words on the boat. It's too late to say anything now. Your words have been heard by the Dragon King. The Dragon King is waiting for you to throw the baby into the river.
Inside, if you don't throw it away, our boat will be completely destroyed. Just do it. After saying that, start grabbing the child in the woman's arms.
The child was the woman's own flesh and blood. How could she bear it? While crying, she tried her best to protect the child and refused to let go. However, the boss of the boat was a strong man who had been running boats all year round. There was no way a woman could beat him, so she had to ask for help from the surrounding passengers.
.
The passengers on the boat all looked ashen and were indifferent to this. Everyone knew that if the child was not thrown into the river, no one would survive. His own life was more important. Although the child was pitiful, he was still to blame.
I can only blame his mother. Whoever allowed her to talk nonsense on the boat is really to blame. For a while, everyone avoided it, and no one stopped her.
When Elder Liaochen saw that the boat boss was about to throw the three or four-year-old child into the river, he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to stop it with Partridge Whistle. At this time, he snatched someone out of the crowd and stopped the boat boss. Partridge Whistle took a closer look at the man who stopped the boat boss.
It turned out to be the American priest.
The American priest held up a Bible and said: Captain, in the name of God, I must stop you.
If someone else had reached out to stop him, he would have been knocked down by the boat boss. Seeing that he was a foreigner, the boat boss didn't dare to offend him easily. However, the boat was spinning in the river and might capsize at any time. So he glared at the American priest and said, "Don't worry about this baby. Don't throw this baby away."
Once we enter the river, the Dragon Prince will have to take us in, including our people and our boats. Your black book will not be able to save your life then.
The American priest was waiting to say anything, but he was pulled away by a short, fat Russian with a red nose: Father Thomas, please don't meddle in other people's business. These mysterious rules of the ancient East are very strange. Let them do whatever they want to do.
After all, he was just a Chinese kid, otherwise the boat might capsize.
The American priest said angrily: Mr. Andre, I really can’t believe you would say such a thing. In the eyes of God, everyone is equal, and only the devil would think it is right to throw children into the river to feed the fish.
The boss of the boat took advantage of the argument between the American priest and the Russian named Andrei to kick the woman down and throw the child overboard. The woman screamed and fainted.
Elder Liao Chen was shocked. He wanted to tell Partridge Whistle to save people, but it was already too late. Although Partridge Whistle didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when the matter came to an end, he couldn't just ignore the situation. Before others could see what was happening, he was shocked.
Well, Partridge Whistle has already taken out the Flying Tiger Claw and thrown it out.
The Flying Tiger Claw is made of stainless steel. The front part is like a tiger claw, and the joints can be loosened or tightened. There is a long rope hanging from the back, which can grab things from a long distance. Partridge Whistle uses the Flying Tiger Claw to catch a child who has fallen halfway, and shakes it.
The hand lifted him up again.
The people on the boat were stunned. As soon as Partridge Whistle picked up the child, the Russians pointed five black revolvers at Partridge Whistle's head.
The waves in the river became more violent, and everyone on the boat was spinning dizzy. It seemed that the boat would capsize at any time. A group of Russians who had lived in China for a long time knew that what the boat boss said was true, so they would throw the child into the river.
Hey you bastard, don't even think about moving this boat. At this moment, when I saw the partridge whistle pulling back the child who had been thrown down, I couldn't help but take out my gun and want to kill this troublesome guy.
The five Russians were about to shoot when they suddenly heard a burst of machine gunfire. Everyone shrank in fright and looked around, wondering who was shooting.
Partridge Whistle diverted their attention with ventriloquism, and threw the child to Elder Chen behind him. At the same time, he pulled out two German mirror boxes from his clothes, rubbed the nose of the machine on his thigh, and fired bullets like a whirlwind.
In the past, five Russians were shot one after another and fell in a pool of blood.
The people on the boat were all stunned. They all had pale faces. They killed five people in an instant. Their speed and marksmanship were just fine. They were so full of murderous aura that they killed so many people without even blinking. They were really like Rakshasa demons.
, Partridge Whistle didn’t care what others thought, and threw the bodies of the five Russians into the river.
Isn't there such a saying? Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people. As soon as the bodies of the five Russians fell into the river, the boat stopped spinning and could move again. The river water that had been boiling also slowly calmed down. Partridge
The sentry asked the boat boss to stop the boat immediately on the north shore.
The boat boss was so frightened that he didn't dare to disobey. He led all the boatmen to anchor at a gentle place in the river and lowered the gangplank.
Elder Liaochen had already given the child to the woman and told her not to talk nonsense again, otherwise she would not be so lucky next time. Partridge Whistle knew that killing five people in full view of the public was a big deal and no small matter.
We must leave the road and quickly go to a sparsely populated area. When we get off the boat, we take the American priest with us. If we encounter the military police, the American can be used as a hostage. Moreover, the American priest is an accomplice of the five Russians.
Five Russians were thrown into the Yellow River and their bodies were destroyed. Officials could not find their accomplices and it was difficult to trace them.
Partridge Whistle and Elder Chen kidnapped the American priest and fled. Fortunately, this place was not far from Helan Mountain. It only took three or four days to walk on the 6th route. Moreover, the land was vast and sparsely populated, so it was not easy to bump into anyone.
American priest Thomas began to think that he had been kidnapped by two murderers. He kept preaching to them about God's mercy and urged them to change their evil ways. Especially the old monk, who looked kind and kind. He didn't expect that he would still engage in kidnapping at such an old age. Why not?
Convert to God, believe in God and gain eternal life.
After walking for three full days, Thomas found that these two guys didn't seem to be kidnapping him. They kept walking north, as if they were going somewhere. Their motives were unclear, so he asked where they were taking him.
Partridge Whistle told American Father Thomas: You were deceived by those Russians. Looking at the large number of tools they carried, you knew they wanted to go to Blackwater City to steal cultural relics. They heard that you had been to Blackwater City and had seen the treasures there, so they wanted to
Let you lead the way. When we get to the destination, I will definitely kill you and silence you. I saved you, so you can rest assured. I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately. I will let you go after we go to Blackwater City to do something.
, I can’t let you go now to prevent the news from getting out.
The American priest said to the Partridge Whistle: Mr. Quickshooter, you draw your gun as fast as lightning. You are so cool. I also found something wrong with those Russians. They said they were going to mine and do business, but they actually wanted to dig into China.
cultural relics, but now God has punished them.
The Partridge Whistle asked the American priest to tell him how he saw the Buddhist temple at the ruins of Blackwater City.
American priest Thomas asked: Why do you also want to dig up cultural relics?
Partridge Whistle was not too disgusted with this priest, so he said to him: I need to find something important, which is related to the life and death of many people in my clan. These things are very confidential, so I can’t tell you more.
.
The American priest said: I believe what you say. A few years ago, I went to the ruins of Blackwater City and stepped on quicksand while walking nearby. At that time, I thought I was called by the Lord to go see God. Unexpectedly, I fell into a Buddhist temple.
There are many precious and bright Buddha statues there. Because I was in a hurry to preach, I crawled out without looking at them more. Now I can't find them again, but that place is very close to the ruins of Blackwater City, about six kilometers away.
About seven kilometers.
The words of the American priest confirmed that Partridge Whistle's information was accurate, and it seemed that the Tongtian Buddhist Temple in Heishui City was not buried too deeply. As long as the location was found, it was easy to dig a hole to get in.
Legend has it that the Tongtian Sleeping Buddha Temple in Heishui City houses a huge reclining Buddha. A mysterious hall was built in the tomb under the Buddha to bury people. It was later used to hide the rare treasures of the Xixia court. Partridge Whistle this time
The goal is right there.
The ruins of Blackwater City are not difficult to find. There are obvious dilapidated buildings on the ground. Each pagoda silently records the glory and splendor of this place in the past. Partridge Whistle, Elder Liaochen and American Father Thomas arrived.
It was almost dusk in Heishui City, and the gray outline of Helan Mountain in the distance was faintly discernible.
The ruins of Heishui City, standing in the twilight, appear deathly silent, as if the God of Death has strangled the breath of all creatures here. The desolate and silent atmosphere makes it impossible to imagine that this was once an important town of the Xixia generation.
Elder Liaochen is a monk, Partridge Whistle has been pretending to be a Taoist in a Taoist sect, and American Thomas is a priest. Together with this monk and a priest, they are going to find the Xixia treasure cave near Heishui City, and even themselves
They all felt that this was a really strange combination.
Near Heishui City, the three people quietly waited for the cold moonlight to shine on the earth. This is the northwest plateau, where the air is thin and the stars in the sky are twinkling. Their number and brightness are many times higher than on the plains.
Elder Liaochen looked up at the stars, took out the compass, and divided the gold. The giant gate in the sky, the greedy wolf, and the three-star calamity of the fortune and sickle were all upright and unbreakable. The auxiliary stars were true, and they were auspicious and noble, but they lacked protection. On the ground
The image is like a green dragonfly pointing at the water, and the direction has been found in a moment.
Elder Liaochen measured the direction, led Partridge Whistle and the American priest to the place under the moonlight, pointed to a place on the ground and said: The main hall of the Tongtian Sleeping Buddha Temple is here. But it seems to be buried here.
