Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 68
Back at the hotel, I wanted to tell Gan Hongxin about Jiang Yusheng's kind words, but Gan Hongxin locked the door after returning to his room and never showed up again.I felt relieved when he did this, so I also went back to my room to rest.

When I fell asleep until midnight, I was awakened by a noise outside.Soon, the door was opened, and two strong men in black dragged me out of the bed and dragged me all the way to the room where Wan Juncheng was.I rubbed my eyes and found that Professor Ye and Gu Meidi were also brought in, except Gan Hongxin was missing.

Wan Juncheng sat on the sofa with a cold face: "We had a good talk before and invited everyone to drink and eat hot pot, but this Gan Hongxin obviously didn't take me seriously. He just left you and ran away!"

"Ah? Gan Hongxin escaped?" I was shocked, thinking of what Jiang Yusheng said to me before, could he really predict the future?Otherwise, why did he ask me to advise Gan Hongxin not to act rashly tonight?
"Hehe!" Wan Juncheng smiled contemptuously, "Although he runs fast, I have a way to find him. Jiang Yusheng, do something!"

"Yes!" Jiang Yusheng replied, cleaned up the utensils on the coffee table, then took out a yellow copper lamp from his bag, and placed it reverently on the northeast corner of the coffee table.There are some ancient patterns engraved on the copper lamps. Due to the age, green copper flowers have appeared on some of the patterns.

The lights in the room were turned off, and the room was pitch-black, except for the copper lamp on the coffee table emitting a faint yellow halo.

The room was very quiet, no one spoke, only the ticking of the clock on the wall.

The aperture cast our shadows onto the walls, and we formed a circle as if performing some kind of mystical ritual.

I saw Jiang Yusheng sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table, took off the turtle shell necklace from his neck, held the necklace in his palm, and muttered something.He read it very quickly and in a very soft tone, and we couldn't hear it clearly. We only heard something like "the way is not the way...the way is not the way...God knows and the earth knows..."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yusheng shook his hands, the turtle shell necklace suddenly broke, and a dozen turtle shells all fell on the coffee table.Each piece of those turtle shells is bigger than a thumb, and under the dim light, it glows with a faint luster.In this faint green light, there is also a trace of gold mixed in, and the surface of those turtle shells unexpectedly has golden symbols of spells.Then, under our astonished eyes, Jiang Yusheng's hands flew swiftly, and the dozens of tortoise shells were constantly changing their arrangement and combination under his fingertips.

After a while, Jiang Yusheng suddenly stopped what he was doing, his pupils flashed, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, and he said coldly: "He ran away from the east intersection, turned left into Renmin Road, but got into a car accident at the traffic light intersection, It's...dead now!" At this point, Jiang Yusheng sighed heavily, flipped his wrist, quickly put away the turtle shells, turned them into a necklace, put it around his neck, and held up the copper lamp. Lightly blow out the lamp, carefully put it away.

This divination is over.

"Gan Hongxin died? How did he die?" I asked.

"He died in a car accident!" Jiang Yusheng said flatly.

I don't need to look in the mirror, I also know that my face is full of doubts, this guy is so awesome?Not only can you accurately calculate Gan Hongxin's escape route, but you can also calculate Gan Hongxin's life and death, and you can even calculate that Gan Hongxin died in a car accident. Is it too exaggerated?
However, half an hour later we learned the truth of the matter, and the truth of the matter was exactly the same as Jiang Yusheng's divination.

The local TV station interrupted the news of the car accident: "At ten o'clock in the evening Beijing time, a young man was killed in a car accident at the intersection of Renmin Road. , wanted to run a red light, but unfortunately happened on the zebra crossing..."

Gan Hongxin is dead? !

Is Gan Hongxin really dead? !

I stared blankly at the news broadcast on TV, and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

I fought side by side with Gan Hongxin and lived and died in adversity for such a long time, but he died suddenly like this. I was very sad in my heart and couldn't accept the news for a while.

"Hey!" Liu Hanhao sighed, "Why bother? Why is he bothering?"

Wan Juncheng patted Jiang Yusheng on the shoulder: "Ghost Valley divination really lives up to its reputation, hahaha, amazing!"

Then he looked up at us with stern eyes: "Did you see that? This is the fate of injustice, hehe, don't think I don't know his little thoughts, I know the details of you group of people very well. Their Gan family is a detoxification family, he wanted to hurry up and go home for three days to detoxify, right? In the end, he quietly left you behind! Tsk tsk, you really deserved to be hit by a car!"

What Wan Juncheng was saying, I didn't hear a word.At this time, my heart was full of turmoil. I was thinking about what Jiang Yusheng had said to me before. He is really a god. If it weren't for my enemy, I really want to kneel down for him and shout "Living Immortal" twice!
In the past, I only knew that divination was a strange and ancient art, and it was mysterious and mysterious. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes today.At the same time, I feel deep sorrow for the tragic death of my companion.In the past, we more or less expected Gan Hongxin to find a way to release the flying Gu on us. Now that Gan Hongxin is dead, we don't know when the flying Gu on us will be released. Thinking about it makes me feel even more sad.

Early the next morning, we left Dunhuang in three off-road vehicles and drove towards Qilian Mountain.

The name of the Qilian Mountains originated from the ancient Xiongnu. In the language of the ancient Huns, "Qilian" means "heaven", so Qilian Mountain was named "Tianshan".Because it is located on the south side of the Hexi Corridor, it is also known as Nanshan.Located on the border between the northeast of Qinghai Province and the west of Gansu Province, it is one of the main mountain ranges in China.

After leaving Dunhuang City, the convoy headed west all the way to Qilian Mountain.

As far as the eyes can see, there are billowing yellow sands, and the sky is full of yellow, which makes people feel depressing.

The car drove very fast, and I rarely got out of the car to rest on the way, except to stop and rest for a while during lunch. I drove almost from dawn to dark, and came to the foot of Qilian Mountain.

Overlooking the Qilian Mountains, you can see the blue-gray mountain range, like a crouching dragon, winding and circling at the junction of heaven and earth.Layers of mountains roll towards the sky like waves.The setting sun slanted on the top of the mountain, casting a huge mountain shadow.The evening wind blows across the endless grassland, and occasionally groups of unnamed national protected animals can be seen.The green hills are lingering, the grass is flying, everything seems natural and peaceful.

Wan Juncheng ordered the convoy to stop and set up camp beside a puddle, preparing to rest overnight and enter the mountain tomorrow morning.

The water depression here is clear and bright, pure and natural, without any pollution.There are a lot of fish with shiny scales in the water swale. The fish are not big, each about the size of a palm, so they are easy to catch.As long as you have quick eyes and hands, you can catch two of them with your hands.

Everyone divides the work and cooperates, some dig pits and build stoves, some pick up hay, and some fish in puddles.We only ate dry food at noon, and everyone wanted a change for dinner.Survival in the wild is like this. When there are other foods, they will never eat the dry food that comes with them. After all, the dry food is rough and unpalatable, and the nutritional indicators cannot be met.Eating more fruits, vegetables and meat can also maintain sufficient nutrition and promote energy recovery.

Soon, a bonfire was lit.

After we disemboweled and cleaned the fresh fish, we put them on dead branches and grilled them over the fire.

The night breeze is gentle, green smoke is curling up, and after a while, the smell of meat comes out, and big and shiny oil droplets drip down, making people gulp down their mouths.

When the roasting time was about the same, someone took out a few bags of convenient seasoning packets from the trunk of the car and sprinkled them directly on top of the grilled fish. The smell of spicy pepper mixed with the smell of fish meat made my mouth water.

Wan Juncheng is quite good at enjoying himself, and there is even a can of beer in the trunk.

In this wild grassland, drinking a sip of beer and eating a big mouthful of delicious grilled fish is really an indescribable enjoyment.

The setting sun gradually sinks, and the fiery red sunset glow dances on the top of the mountains, a piece of gorgeous youth.

Night shrouded the land, and the Qilian Mountains were dark.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night here, and it is unbearable to wear a single coat outside at night. Three camping tents were set up next to the fire.

Before going to bed, Wan Juncheng called everyone over and took out a small flashlight from his backpack.When I was wondering what he was going to do, he had already unscrewed the back cover of the flashlight, stretched out two fingers, pinched a roll of tissue paper from it, and spread it out in front of him.

The edges of the thin paper were irregular, as if it had been torn directly, with many rough edges.And the paper is very strange, light yellow, shiny, it doesn't look like paper, more like a translucent plastic film.Just as I was wondering what kind of material this piece of paper was made of, Gu Meidi cursed softly beside me: "Damn! This is a piece of leather!"

I stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and saw that it was drawn with criss-cross lines, which looked like a map.

I looked at it for a while, and found that it was a Feng Shui topographic map, most of which showed the direction of the mountains.Judging from the shape of the mountains, it is very similar to the Qilian Mountains where we are.

I saw nine thick lines of mountains on the map, they intersected each other, like nine vigorous black dragons.

Wan Juncheng handed the human skin map to Xu Bo: "Come and see!"

Xu Bo held the map and looked at it for a while, then pondered: "This is the famous Kowloon turnaround in Feng Shui!"

"Oh?" Wan Juncheng raised his eyebrows, "Let's hear it!"

Xu Bo was also unambiguous, and he opened his mouth and said: "The law of Feng Shui is to get water first, and then to hide wind. When the air is strong, it will flow, while the rest will stop. Although it is scattered but deep, it will still gather. The original bone, entrusting the snake to the east and west, or north and south, like entrusting itself to restore itself, repeating in circles, if it is squatting, it is a hou, if it is embraced, it is also. If you want to go forward, you want to stop, but you go deep, accumulate and stop, gather and rush, yang and yin work , the soil is thick and the water is deep, the grass is lush and the forest is lush, it is as expensive as a thousand times, rich as ten thousand gold, and it is the top land!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Wan Juncheng waved his hand, "Don't talk so much vernacular, it makes my head feel dizzy, just keep it simple!"

Xu Bo said solemnly: "Simply put, the Jiuzhuan Huilong Bureau is a treasure of geomantic omen!"

"That's not it!" Wan Juncheng said, "I want you to find me the location of the Dragon Palace!"

The Dragon Palace mentioned by Wan Juncheng is naturally not the place where the Dragon God lives. In Jianghu jargon, the Dragon Palace represents the mausoleum.

I was slightly taken aback, and thought to myself: "Wan Juncheng went to Qilian Mountain to find the tomb after spending so much time? Whose tomb is he looking for? Is there any connection between this tomb and the Xixia Dynasty? "

"Okay! But it will take some time!" Xu Bo took out a compass from his backpack while talking.

When he took out the compass, my eyes were immediately firmly attracted.

That compass has at least carried thousands of years. The compass is bronze-colored, and the surface has been polished very smooth by the years, so smooth that it can almost reflect the silhouette of a person.The shape of the compass is very strange, a little bigger than the palm of an adult, and it is a rare octagon, with the names of gossip carved on each of the eight corners.In the center of the compass is a Taiji disk, surrounded by densely carved tadpole-shaped runes and various ancient seal scripts that I don't recognize.

"Heaven and Earth Cosmic Disk!" Professor Ye said softly.

I saw Xu Bo's left hand slowly turning the heaven, earth, universe disk, and the five fingers of his right hand kept counting, and he was chanting something, but it was like an egg in his mouth, and it was vague, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gradually, the heaven and earth universe disc in front of him glowed with a faint light, and as the universe disc continued to rotate, the dim light gradually turned into a circle of light, constantly flying around the universe disc, which looked particularly strange and eye-catching.What's even more strange is that the Tai Chi disk in the center of the compass is also glowing, like a virtual 3D illusion, floating and sinking in the aperture.

Just when we were dumbfounded, Xu Bo suddenly turned his palm over and pressed the rotating heaven, earth and universe disk with his palm, and let out a long breath, looking a little tired.At this time, I realized that in a short period of time, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but the temperature outside was so low that we were all too cold.

"How is it?" Wan Juncheng looked at Xu Bo with piercing eyes.

Xu Bo stretched out two fingers, moving back and forth on the human skin map.

After about half a minute, his fingertips rested on the highest mountain of the ninth black mountain range: "Dragon Palace is on the head of the ninth flying dragon!"

"Okay! Awesome!" Wan Juncheng laughed, his eyes gleamed with joy, he laughed and put the human skin map in his arms, and waved to us: "You are also tired, go back and rest!"

We went back to our respective tents, and there were only me, Gu Meidi, Professor Ye and Liu Hanhao in our tent.Wan Juncheng didn't send anyone to guard us either, he knew that our body was poisoned with the sky flying Gu, even if we were told to run, we wouldn't run now, so we could only obediently follow him and be his slaves.

However, this is only temporary.

Definitely temporary!

We must have a chance to kill that bastard Wan Juncheng!
This is what Professor Ye said.

Maybe it was because they were too tired after a long day's journey. Professor Ye and Liu Hanhao fell asleep after laying down.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of the bloody severed finger, and my heart hurt like being pricked by a needle.

That is my dearest grandpa!

I opened my eyes, panting heavily in the dark, clenched my fists involuntarily, everything was silent, I could hear the crackling of my knuckles.

"You miss grandpa again?" Gu Meidi didn't fall asleep either, she could always see through my thoughts at the first moment.

"Yeah!" I nodded and told her the truth, "When I think about that severed finger... I wish I could kill that bastard Wan Juncheng... He actually treated grandpa with such cruel methods..."

"Tuoba Gu, don't be impulsive, you have to learn to restrain your emotions!" Gu Meidi comforted me.

"I know! It's just...it's just that I'm really worried about grandpa, afraid that grandpa will be tortured by those bastards at home!" I sighed, with tears flickering in the corners of my eyes.

"Auspicious people have their own signs of heaven. Grandpa will be fine. Go to sleep! There is still a long way to go, and the most important thing is to maintain a good energy! Good night!"

"good night!"
