The flight from 6 a.m. to Dunhuang took only more than an hour. The flight provided plane meals. We didn't have to eat again after landing. We chartered a car directly to the northwest border of Gansu.
This place is located at the junction of Gansu, Xinjiang and Qinghai. In fact, it is not far from Hukou mountain, the forbidden area of the lip nationality. It is not far. It is said on the map. The actual distance is at least hundreds of kilometers.
This situation can't help but make my friends think about it. In those days, one of the lip tribe chose Hukou mountain as a base, would it be related to Tongtian sect?
The Chartered minibus took me to a small town at the entrance of the no man's land and returned. It happened to be noon. I had lunch here and replenished supplies in the town. Because they came in a hurry, they certainly didn't prepare enough things. However, Qiu Bitian and Qiao Ya brought all the equipment they had gone to the demon God tomb. What they needed to supplement was only food, water and some necessary medicines.
Fortunately, the environment in this no man's land is not as bad as that in Hukou mountain. Donkey friends often travel in teams. Therefore, the necessary materials and equipment for exploration are available in this small town, but the price is more than twice as expensive.
When buying medicine in a drugstore, the owner's wife in her thirties couldn't stop looking at us. No wonder she will pay attention to us. Although there are three young guys in our "exploration" team, how can we not be suspicious with two weak beauties and a blind man? It's OK for the girl to say. You say a blind man. How can he live in case the team is separated?
But I was also wary. This geographical location can be described as the "outpost" of tongtianzong. Who can guarantee that people without them are lurking here? In case of being targeted, before we get to the ground, the intelligence has been transmitted to the general forum, which will be very disadvantageous to us.
Sure enough, the landlady looked at us for a moment, left the saleswoman to bring us medicine and hurried into the inner room. Qiu Bitian immediately winked at me and quickly walked around the counter. This should not be what he sees, but the old man on him. There must be something wrong with the landlady.
I followed into the counter, and the saleswoman quit immediately, shouting what you want and get out quickly. As soon as I covered her mouth, Zou Buyu reacted very quickly and ran to pull down the rolling gate, so that no passers-by could see someone "robbing" through the glass door. It can be seen that this boy is also a smart man.
Qiaoya turned over the counter, took the clerk from me and firmly controlled her. I freed up my hand and quickly followed Qiu Bitian into the inner room. Inside is the living place, a small living room with two bedrooms on both sides. But when we came in, we couldn't see the landlady.
Qiu Bitian stopped a little and went straight to the left bedroom. At this time, the demon, fat uncle, Zou Buyu, and Qiaoya holding the salesgirl also followed in. Zou Buyu didn't show any tension. It seems that the boy's adaptability is also extremely strong.
But when I entered the bedroom, I still couldn't see a trace of the landlady, just like the world evaporated. But Qiu Bitian did not hesitate to kick on the bed. A pulley was installed on the foot of the bed. He immediately moved forward for one meter, revealing an unfilled hole on the ground.
Needless to say, when the landlady entered the hole, Qiu Bitian took a step forward and slipped in without any hesitation. I turned back and winked at JOYA and the demon. They immediately understood and stayed outside to watch the wind. If it's a pit, the landlady doesn't go in at all. After we go down, she just needs to block the hole, and we'll all become... Uncle in the urn.
Fat uncle and Zou Buyu followed me and entered in turn. Although the hole is small and can only accommodate one person, uncle fat has a little difficulty in passing, but steps are built below, and the bottom is reached along the stone steps in the blink of an eye.
The light is on below. I can see that the space is not large, which is more than 20 square meters. The light came from a table under the opposite wall, on which two candles were lit. There was a hand-painted statue hanging on the table. The landlady stood close and pressed a black object the size of a palm on the table with her forehand. But when she heard the movement, she looked back and saw that we had come in, and her face was full of panic.
Qiu Bitian stepped forward, took her hand off the table and pulled her aside.
"What are you doing? Want to rob? " The landlady's voice trembled and looked very frightened.
Qiu Bi said coldly, "don't pretend. You're from tongtianzong. You're here to tell your master?"
"What... What tongtianzong, tongdizong, I can't understand what you're talking about?" The landlady's eyes gleamed with cunning.
Qiu Bitian stared at the black object on the table and asked, "why do you press and hold this turtle shell?"
I saw clearly that it was a turtle shell. I immediately realized that the woman wanted to pass the message to tongtianzong through the turtle shell. I then looked up at the portrait. It showed a young and beautiful woman floating in the dense air with bare feet, frowning and smiling, light and elegant, which was just beautiful to the bone. But on both sides of the head and neck, a ferocious face stretched out, which completely destroyed the artistic conception and beauty, unspeakable evil.
However, he turned around and found that Zou Buyu looked directly at the portrait with an extremely complex look on his face, excited, hurt and a trace of anger.
So I realized that this is the three life girl, right? The left and right faces should be a ghost and a corpse, and the middle one is probably drawn according to Ning Bingbing's appearance. The girl is really beautiful enough to compete with some demons.
At this time, I only heard the landlady say, "I... I divined in front of God, didn't it hinder you?"
Qiu Bitian sniffed: "divination? You can use tortoise shells to make divination. There are few on the market now. There is also this statue of God. Is that a God? "
I said, "this is a three life girl. She is not a God and will not give anyone any revelation. Don't be hard spoken. This turtle shell is the most primitive "tortoise shell channeling" tool in witchcraft. To put it bluntly, it is similar to our current telegram. Do you think we don't understand it? "
These ghosts, gods and witches have their own unique skills in sending letters thousands of miles away. For example, the thousand mile sound transmission of broken jade platform is through the underground palace corpse gas, and Maoshan college is through the life stone in the body, but it can't be as convenient and instant call as mobile phones. Like tongtianzong's tortoise shell channeling, you must press your hand on it and chant a spell before you can open the sound transmission channel. Fortunately, the program was troublesome, otherwise she would have sent the message in the front store, and we couldn't intercept it at all.
And we can be sure that she hasn't contacted tongtianzong yet because the turtle shell has no reaction, so it's not difficult to see.
Seeing that we were proficient in this, the landlady looked at us and asked, "who are you animals?"
I put my hands behind my back and said, "I am. Your master must have sent a message long ago. Be vigilant for my arrival at all times?"
The landlady didn't say anything, but her eyes stared at me for a moment, and her face seemed to freeze.
My heart said bad. Just about to speak, Qiu Bitian took a breath and said, "she's dead!"
