Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

I looked at Tang Yu in front of me, and realized that this little girl was only in her twenties. I don't know why she followed Tangning to the desert. Compared with the rest of us, she was simply an anomaly, because she looked so normal. , not at all like a person who can walk through the desert full of wild sand, but it makes people think that she should study hard in the classroom.

"En." I nodded, looked at Dao Yan and Chu Wentian, and followed Tang Yu to a tent to the west.

The tent seems to be shared by the two sisters. After entering, she saw Tang Ning was going out with a pair of gloves. She was surprised when she saw me, then glanced at Tang Yu without emotion, then put away the gloves and looked at the tent. I said, "It's a good time to come. I was just going to find you, so I won't talk nonsense. We have found a way to enter the ancient city of Khotan. This time I invite you to come here to talk about cooperation."

Hearing this, I looked at the pair of gloves in Tangning's hand and could almost tell that this woman was lying.

Judging from her facial expressions after she found me, she didn't know that I had arrived at the camp beforehand. Although her look at Tang Yu had no special meaning in it, it made me feel even more wrong. Besides, she The appearance of holding gloves is obviously going to do something outside.

I bet, Tangning didn't ask me to come over to talk, that is to say, that little girl, Tang Yu, was bluffing me, but why did she do that?And Tangning knew that Tang Yu was at fault, so why didn't she say anything?This attitude of swallowing her anger was completely different from the cold-blooded Tangning I remembered.

Could it be that there is some ulterior secret between the two sisters?

I quickly thought about the matter in front of me, and said with a smile on my mouth: "It's okay to cooperate, but don't you think your previous actions can't make us trust you at all?"

After hearing what I said, Tangning frowned. She brushed her long hair into a ponytail and sighed, "I know that I was a bit extreme in the past, but back then everyone was in their own way, and I had no choice but to do it." Let’s take a heavy hand, now there is no interest relationship, we are just seeking to save our lives together, I will naturally not harm you again, you don’t have to worry about this.”

After finishing speaking, Tangning saw that I was still suspicious of her, so she waved her hand and said, "Why don't you go with me to see the situation on the other side of the cliff first, and then decide whether to cooperate or not."

"Over the cliff?" I wondered, "Is it related to entering the ancient city of Khotan?"

"Of course." Tangning nodded, "If you want to enter the ancient city of Khotan, you have to go there. That's what Dao Yan and Chu Wentian said."

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that since the entrance is under the cliff, why did the map we found say it was behind the mountain? Could it be that the map record is not accurate? Only then did the mountain discover that the entrance was not the one they had guessed, but was hidden under the cliff?

Then if we continue to cross the mountain as shown on the map, wouldn't it be a waste of time.

So I immediately said: "Well, then you lead the way."

Tang Yu fell silent after Tangning and I started talking. At this time, she followed Tangning and me silently. I didn't pay much attention to her expression, but I felt that this little girl was not as simple as I imagined. The silence can't give people a sense of well-behaved, but it makes me think that it is a kind of unfathomable with more connotations.

But with a woman like Tangning in the lead, Tang Yu's behavior was more understandable. After all, she was also a member of the Tang family, so it wouldn't be that easy.

I followed Tangning through the camp and came to the other side of the mountain. This place is much more lively than the camp. I roughly counted the people that Tangning brought here. They should all be busy here.

They are busy setting up climbing tools, fixing ropes and preparing protective measures. It seems that they are preparing to climb down from this cliff with ropes.

There were Chinese and foreigners among those people, they were all muscular and tall men, some of them looked quite familiar, I don't know if they met in the tomb.

Tangning saw me standing aside in a daze, so she pointed to the edge of the cliff and said, "You'll know when you look down."

I walked to the edge of the cliff suspiciously, and there were two people fixing the brackets. When they saw me coming, they asked me to stand aside and watch, so as not to hinder them.

I nodded knowingly, half squatted down, supported the ground with one hand, and looked down.

Unexpectedly, when I saw this, I couldn't take my eyes away.

I don't know what's growing under the cliff, but it emits a kind of light red fluorescence in the dark, and those fluorescent lights are scattered all over the bottom of the cliff, looking like a group of mutated fireflies, reflecting the narrow and long bottom of the cliff. As beautiful as the galaxy.

If you ignore that this place is located in the desert, and ignore the rocks and weeds and the faults next to it, this is definitely a good place for a date to catch girls. Unfortunately, due to its own environment, the atmosphere here can only be called Weird, not the kind of romance that young couples like.

Just as I was engrossed in watching, Tang Ning came over to me and said, "As you have seen, you have to rely on these luminous objects to find the entrance. They keep the secrets of entering the ancient city of Khotan. These things are only revealed at night." It glows like a normal rock during the day, so the only way to find the entrance is at night."

I glanced down again, stood up and pondered for a moment, and said, "How to find the entrance, didn't Daoyan give any hints?"

Tangning shook her head and said, "No, both of their memories are not very accurate. It is not easy to determine the bottom of the cliff. The rest can only be explored slowly."

I hummed and continued to ask: "How many times have you guys gone down?"

Tang Ning replied: "The second time, last night was the first time, I didn't expect to cooperate with you, but there are some things at the bottom of the cliff that people can't understand, and the progress will be very slow with Dao Yan and Chu Wentian alone. .”

Now I completely understood what Tangning meant. She realized that there was not enough manpower, and thought that with our help, she could split up and speed up the search for the entrance.

And the incomprehensible things she mentioned are probably organs or ghosts.

Thinking about this, I said to Tangning, "Then you guys go ahead first. I'll go back and discuss it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow. If we agree to cooperate, we'll come over directly."

Seeing that I wanted to agree, Tangning nodded her head to signal that I could go back.

Xiao Hei has been laying on my shoulders and pretending to be asleep. At this time, he suddenly jumped to the ground and trotted all the way into Daoyan's tent. I looked strange, thinking that I must come back tomorrow, so I didn't care about it.

I was going to say hello to Xiang Wen before walking back, but I bumped into Tang Yu as soon as I turned around, it turned out that she had been following me.

I am a big man, tall and strong, and I bumped her into a stagger, and I was about to fall on the rocky ground.

I quickly reached out and grabbed her, and whispered, "I'm sorry I didn't see..."

After being held by me, Tang Yu grabbed the clothes on my chest reflexively, and accidentally touched the stone I hid in the pocket of my jacket, and her face changed instantly.

Her expression changed very quickly, and the surrounding lights were relatively dim, so I couldn't be sure if I was wrong.But what I'm sure of is that she didn't react for a while after she touched the stone, and her expression even became stiff for a moment.

I screamed inwardly, wondering if this stone is so attractive to me, will it also infect other people who are close to it? What is it like.

"It's all right." Tang Yu let go of my hand after standing up, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I just stood there in a daze and didn't see that you were leaving."

I looked into her eyes, trying to see something strange from inside, but found that the girl was still polite, so I could only say: "Then I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."

I went to find Xiang Wen, said a few words, and walked back alone.

Before, Xiang Wen, a guy with excellent ears, led the way. It didn’t take us long. Now I’m alone, and I’m walking much slower, because the road is very strange. I almost got off the road several times. In the end, we returned safely to where we stayed.

Dao Feng had been sitting outside the tent waiting for me. When he saw me coming back, he immediately stood up and asked, "Where did you go? I haven't seen you for a long time."

I was taken aback, and quickly calculated the time, and found that it was at least three or four hours, which was indeed a bit late.If it wasn't for the little black cat not coming back, Dao Feng would definitely think that I was missing.

Sister Xuan got out of the tent when she heard Dao Feng's words. When she saw me, her eyes widened first, then she put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You little bastard, why are you running around at night? I don't know that we are all worried about you." Well, next time you dare to run around, I will directly break your leg."

After scolding me, she looked behind me, and wondered again: "Where is the kitten, lost too?"

I raised my hand as a stop sign, went into the tent and called the uncle out, and then said to them, "I just came back from Tangning's place. Xiang Wen brought me there. They already know we're behind."

The uncle looked at me and nodded, "I guessed it might be like this. We all saw Tangning's camp, but I didn't expect you to go there without saying a word."

Seeing the uncle's inquisitive eyes, I panicked, and immediately explained: "I was looking for the little black cat, but I didn't expect to meet Xiang Wen. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to inform you."

Dao Feng didn't speak when he heard the words, but just moved his eyes from me to the fire.

I looked at Dao Feng's stern face, and felt a little regretful in my heart. I knew he must be very anxious when he found out that I was gone. I really shouldn't have acted so hastily on my own. Unfortunately, I didn't know what to think at the time, so I didn't worry about Dao Feng. Mood……

The uncle clapped his hands twice to bring me back to his senses, then he frowned displeasedly and said, "Go ahead, what did Tangning tell you?"

I sighed, thinking back to Tangning's words, and said, "She hopes to cooperate with us. They have found the passage to enter the ancient city of Khotan, and they are now trying to find the entrance. Dao Yan and Chu Wentian are also there..."
