The palm eye that Hou Jiu was talking about was an old man in his sixties. When Hou Jiu, Deng Wei and Qin Yu found this old man, he was setting up a stall to tell people's fortunes.
With an immortal spirit and a white robe, the old man's stall attracted many people.
Therefore, when Hou Jiu brought Qin Yu and others to the old man's stall, the old man just glanced at Hou Jiu and continued to concentrate on reading the face of the young girl in front of him.
"Miss, the inside of your nose is very deep. In this physiognomy, it is called a dragon's head, which is the sign of good luck. And, miss, the outer edges of your eyes are slender, which is called a phoenix tail."
"The head of a dragon and the tail of a phoenix, this is a sign of great blessing, but the most important thing is the pair of eyes in the middle. Miss, please open your eyes wide and show me."
Hearing the old man's words, the young girl who told the fortune also showed a look of joy on her face. Just imagine, who wouldn't feel happy when they hear someone say that they are rich?
"This..." After the old man stared at the young girl's eyes for a while, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face, "The pupils are round and as black as ink. This is an extremely noble look."
Hearing the old man's words, the girl had a look of surprise on her face, but the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stood up angrily from her position, looked at the old man and cursed: "You are a liar."
After the girl said this, she walked away, leaving everyone present confused.
"It shouldn't be." The old man was also stunned, because he didn't expect that his deception would be seen through by a little girl. You must know that it was thanks to this deception that he was able to live well for so many years.
Qin Yu, who was watching from the side, had a strange smile on his face at this moment. This made Hou Jiu, who was paying attention to the change in Qin Yu's expression, think that Qin Yu had regarded the old man as a liar, and quickly explained: "Qin Yu
Sir, my old friend is good at Feng Shui and Kanyu, but he is not very proficient in physiognomy. However, my old friend likes to help people read fortunes, which is a bit like playing in the human world."
After Hou Jiu explained something to the old man, he winked at his apprentice Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan understood what his master meant and stepped forward to drive away the curious onlookers who gathered in front of the old man's stall.
"Third brother." Hou Jiu walked up to the old man and shouted.
"Hou Jiu, didn't you see that I was telling people's fortunes? You drove away my customers. What should I have for dinner? Grandma's shop hasn't opened yet today." The old man looked at Hou Jiu with dissatisfaction and said.
"Third brother is joking, I have a big deal here, this number." Hou Jiu made an eight sign towards the old man, but the old man still shook his head and refused.
"I'm worried right now, no matter how many times I count, I won't do it. I've been in the field of physiognomy for thirty years, and a little girl will see through it. If I don't understand this today, I won't be interested in anything else."
After the old man said this, he actually started thinking hard, as if he was looking for flaws in his words.
The old man expressed his attitude, but Hou Jiu smiled bitterly at Deng Wei and Qin Yu and explained: "The third brother is such a person. I will advise the third brother again."
"I'll do it."
Qin Yu smiled at Hou Jiu, walked up to the old man, and said, "Actually, that little girl will know that you are talking nonsense. The reason is very simple."
After hearing Qin Yu's words, the old man raised his head and looked at Qin Yu, asking with expectation: "What's the reason?"
"Because that girl wears contact lenses."
When he said this, Qin Yu had a smile on his face. If he were a fashionable young man, he would definitely understand this, but this third brother obviously did not belong to this category.
"Color contact lenses?"
The old man was stunned for a while, and then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, "Colored contact lenses, what are those?"
Hou Jiu and others are also confused, because they also don’t know what colored contact lenses are? You can’t expect people who work underground all day long to like to go online and look at photos of Internet celebrities.
Therefore, Qin Yu could only briefly explain what colored contact lenses were.
"Fucking turtle grandson, who the hell invented this thing?" After listening to Qin Yu's explanation, the old man cursed angrily. He finally knew why the girl called him a liar.
Because people’s eyes are basically fake, and pointing at the fake eyes and saying a lot of words will have no effect.
After cursing for a while, the old man gave up and looked at Hou Jiu, "Tell me, what kind of job is this time?"
"Looking for the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West." Hou Jiu whispered.
"What!"
The old man suddenly stood up from the chair, his eyes first glanced at Hou Jiu, and then at the faces of everyone present, "Are you guys all possessed by evil spirits? Queen Mother of the West, what kind of existence is that?
, isn’t looking for her tomb looking for death?”
"Third Brother, according to the rules, you only need to survey the location of the tomb. Even if there is danger, it will not threaten you, Third Brother, right?" Hou Jiu said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to look for the tomb of Queen Mother of the West." The old man shook his head, "And I advise you not to look for it either."
"Third brother, what if I take advantage of that opportunity?" Hou Jiu suddenly said seriously to the old man.
"Are you...sure?" The old man glanced at Hou Jiu in surprise.
Hou Jiu did not answer, but nodded heavily.
"Okay, I'll take over the job this time." The old man's expression also became serious, and this seriousness gave him a bit of majesty.
Now that everyone has gathered, the next step is to set off, and Qin Yu and the other three also know the old man's name. His surname is Jia, the third in rank, so he is called the third brother by people in the circle.
…
It is not far from Golmud to Kunlun. After leaving the city for dozens of kilometers, what appears in front of Qin Yu and others' vision is the endless desert.
This is a desolate Gobi Desert without any human traces. There are only some small squares made of stones. The existence of these small squares is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people and is used to prevent sandstorms.
Qin Yu and his party were in two cars, Qin Yu, Du Ruoxi and Deng Wei were in one car, while Hou Jiuwu and others were in another car.
"Master, I always feel that there is something wrong with the origins of those three people."
In the car in front, Hou Jiu's apprentice Zhao Yan said to his master Hou Jiu: "We have worked for some funders before, but we have never had such a young funder, and these three people gave me no feeling at all.
There is no purpose.”
You know, the financial backers who usually come to them to take over work have a clear purpose. This kind of financial backers often know through certain channels that there is a certain cultural relic they want in a certain ancient tomb.
Entrust them to steal it.
But these three people, apart from saying to go find the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, had no other requests. This style of work was completely different from the donors they had come into contact with in the past.
"Master Jiu, I also think these three are a bit evil. Generally speaking, the donors will provide us with the clues they know about the mausoleum, but these three said nothing and just told us to go to Kunlun Mountain.
Do you think there is any fraud involved?" The general also spoke.
"Why, Hou Jiu, don't you know the origins of these three people?" Jia San frowned after hearing what the general and Zhao Yan said.
"I don't know." Hou Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I wonder if you still dare to accept it?"
"Third brother, in our line of work, we can't find out the identity of the benefactor if the benefactor doesn't tell us, but there should be no doubt about the other party's identity. This time, it was Mr. An who provided the clue."
"Mr. An from Shonan?"
"Um."
Jia San stopped asking, "If Mr. An is the one pulling the strings, there's no need to worry about their origins. In short, no matter what the purpose of these three people is, we just take the money to work."
"Third Master, Ninth Master, do you think these three people are here for immortality? It is said that the Queen Mother of the West holds the secret of immortality." The monkey who had been silent until now spoke.
"Immortality?" Hou Jiu shook his head, "Not to mention that this is just a myth. Have you ever seen young people pursuing immortality?"
"This... this..." Monkey fell silent, because he understood the meaning of Master Jiu's words. For these three young people, they still have a long period of life, and this age is the right time to enjoy a good life.
How could we pursue the so-called immortality when we were young?
The car fell into silence until something unexpected happened on the road ahead.
"Master Jiu, there is a whistle."
Looking at the armed police at the roadblock ahead, the monkey driving the car became a little nervous.
"What are you afraid of? Those guys are not in our car. Since Boss Deng and others said they have a way to solve it, then we will just watch."
The car of Hou Jiu and the others quickly passed Luka, and then the five of them stared at the car behind Qin Yu and the others through the rearview mirror.
However, what shocked them was that instead of stopping the car for inspection, the armed police saluted the car and let it go.
"this……"
"Do the three bosses Deng have official backgrounds?" the general said with some surprise.
Hou Jiu's expression also became serious. The biggest fear in their line of work was dealing with people with official backgrounds.
However, having come this far, it is naturally impossible to quit at this time. However, because of An Lao, Hou Jiu is not worried that this is a game, because with An Lao's status, it is impossible to make such a decision.
Things like this come about.
After the car passed the Gobi Road, the Kunlun Mountains were in sight, and the majestic Kunlun Mountains came into view.
Unlike the lush green mountains in the south, there are not many dense forests in the Kunlun Mountains, with a majestic and desolate beauty that makes people walking on this road unconsciously infected.
At Kunlun Pass, Hou Jiu's car stopped here. They will spend the night here tonight! (To be continued)
