Chapter 198 Sapphire
There is still a long distance from Lanzhou to Loulan. To be honest, I am not sure whether I can find the Jiutian Mirror. After all, the ancient kingdom of Loulan has disappeared for thousands of years, and in modern times, there are already many archaeological teams and expedition teams. These places have been turned upside down a long time ago, and there are treasures who have probably been swept up long ago.

In any case, there is hope, or to try.

We didn't plan to go there by car, but rented an off-road vehicle directly in Lanzhou. After buying a lot of necessities for walking in the desert, we set off from Lanzhou the next day, all the way out of Jiayuguan, and went straight to Dunhuang.

Driving in the western region, you can appreciate the scenery that is completely different from the mainland. Although it is not a thousand miles of yellow sand, the scenery is also somewhat unique.

When we arrived in Dunhuang, we found a hotel to stay and rest. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Dunhuang all the way, and unknowingly walked to an antique street.

Most of the things bought here are from the ancient cities of the Western Regions. Of course, fakes must occupy a large part, and there are also some Buddhist ornaments, etc., which are quite interesting.

In addition to the antiques visited in those small shops, there are also many roadside stalls on the street, displaying a lot of strange things, Xiaodouzi was very interested and bought some small items.

We were almost done shopping in Antique Street, and we were about to return to the hotel to rest. At this time, we passed by a middle-aged man's stall, but I didn't pay attention. Wang Yijian snorted and squatted down.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Wang Yijian picked up an ornament from the stall, it was not a small piece of sapphire, about two fingers wide, the whole body was blue, it was a small piece of jade worn on the body.

Wang Yijian turned the sapphire over, on the back of the sapphire there was a lifelike little dragon, and on the bottom there was a traditional dragon character.Holding the sapphire, Wang Yijian asked the big man, "Where did you get this jade tablet?"

The middle-aged man smiled, showing his big yellow teeth, and said, "This is my ancestral jade pendant. If I hadn't run out of money, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. Look at the texture and feel. It's definitely a good thing."

Wang Yijian said coldly: "Lie! Let me ask one last time, where did this jade pendant come from?"

I don't know why Wang Yijian cares so much about this jade pendant. The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said with displeasure: "I said it is from the ancestors, so it is from the ancestors. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't buy it, get out, and don't hinder my business." .”

A cold light flashed in Wang Yijian's eyes, which startled the middle-aged man. The guy immediately yelled, saying that we were making trouble, and many tourists surrounded him. Seeing this, I quickly pulled Wang Yijian and said, "Senior Brother Wang! , let's go quickly."

Wang Yijian looked at me and said, "This piece of sapphire is Senior Brother Long's personal accessory."

Hearing this, I am not calm at all, why is Long Xuan's personal accessories here?I asked: "Are you sure?" Wang Yijian nodded, and then I said to the middle-aged man: "Stop screaming, how much is this jade pendant, I bought it."

The middle-aged man said proudly, "Thirty thousand."

I bet, this guy is just asking for the price, he doesn't know the value of this jade pendant at all, these are human beings, seeing that we care about this jade pendant, he immediately asks for a price.Although I am not short of money, I absolutely cannot be slaughtered by such unscrupulous people.

I said directly: "3000 yuan, don't sell it down."

The middle-aged man snatched the jade pendant back from Wang Yijian's hand and said, "3 yuan is the same price, if you don't buy it, get out."

Wang Yijian was a little angry, I gave him a wink, and pulled him away.After walking out of the antique street, Wang Yijian said: "That's a clue about Brother Long. He may have been to Dunhuang, so he must buy it."

I nodded and said: "I know. But I can't encourage this kind of person's arrogance. I just saved a hand on him. Let's go to him again tonight and ask where he got the jade pendant from."

Wang Yijian didn't say much, he agreed.At night, I left Xiaodouzi and Xiaomei at the hotel, and I left with Wang Yijian. Similarly, I folded a thousand paper cranes with a talisman, and after chanting the spell, the thousand paper cranes flew out.

"Let's follow Thousand Paper Cranes, and we'll be able to find the guy who sells antiques during the day."

The thousand paper cranes flew all the way and didn't go to the Antique Street, but arrived at a place that looked a bit like a shanty town with dilapidated houses.The thousand paper cranes flew outside a house, the house was dilapidated, and the two doors were tightly closed.

I knocked on the door, and after a while, I heard the voice of the man in the daytime. He opened the door cursing, and when he saw Wang Yijian and me, the guy sneered and said, "What? Are you reluctant to part with that jade pendant? As I said, 3 yuan , no second price."

I sneered and said, "Money is not a problem, you have to tell me where you got this jade pendant."

The man smiled sinisterly and said, "There is an extra charge for this, 4 yuan. The jade pendant is taken away. I'll tell you where I got it. Give me the money first."

I smiled and said: "Okay." Then I flicked my fingers, causing his consciousness to be involved in Senluo Devil May Cry, which lasted only five seconds, and he immediately screamed hell, I grabbed his clothes Said, "Now, can you speak?"

The man spooked and said, "I said, I said, don't kill me. This jade pendant was picked up from a corpse outside the Snake Valley in Devil City when I went to Devil City a few days ago."

Wang Yijian and I looked at each other, feeling a bad premonition in our hearts, Wang Yijian immediately said: "Impossible! Brother Long can't die." Then, he grabbed the man's neck and said: "You are lying to us , you're lying, aren't you?"

The man said frightenedly: "Brother, how dare I lie to you, this is really picked up from a corpse outside the Snake Valley." I quickly asked him what the corpse looked like, and the man said, "The corpse has been It's completely changed, I can't recognize it at all, big brother, I've already told you, just let me go."

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you want money? Okay, I'll give you a way to make money. Now you take us to Devil City, and after finding this corpse, I'll give you 1 yuan, how about it?" But if I find out that you are lying and playing tricks, your life will be lost."

The man shook his head like a rattle and said, "Brothers, you can't go to the Devil City. The Devil City used to be a beautiful and rich place, but later it was said that it was cursed by the gods and turned into ruins. There are many monsters haunting it, and it is said that there is a boa constrictor that has matured in Snake Valley, and it will kill people if it goes there.”

I said, "Then why did you run outside the Snake Valley, not afraid of death? You are lying, it seems that you will not tell the truth unless you are shown some seriousness."

Before I could do anything, the man immediately exclaimed: "I said, I said. About a month ago, a man bought something at my stall and asked me the way to Devil City, and finally he came out. Qian asked me to take him there, and I was crazy about money at the time, so I agreed. After going to Devil City, the two of us were separated by wind and sand. I found a corpse. Although the corpse was beyond recognition, judging from the clothes and figure, it was the person who asked me to lead the way to Devil City. I was scared to death, touched the jade pendant and a little money from him, and ran back for my life .”

Wang Yijian immediately asked him: "What does that man look like and how tall is he?"

After the man described it, it was quite similar to some characteristics of Long Xuan. Wang Yijian and I were naturally in a hurry, but this guy said that he would not go to Devil City if he died, and only promised to draw us a map.

I didn't make it difficult for him. After getting the map and giving him 3000 yuan, we left.On the way back, Wang Yijian and I were a little silent, feeling very heavy.

There are various indications that Long Xuan is most likely to go to Devil City, but if it is said that Long Xuan died in Devil City, Wang Yijian and I don't quite believe it.

"Senior Brother Wang, why don't we go to Devil City overnight?" I suggested.

Wang Yijian nodded and said: "I also have the same intention. This jade pendant is definitely Brother Long's personal accessory. It cannot be faked. I will not be reconciled if I don't go to find out."

We immediately returned to the hotel, checked out, and drove towards Devil City.
