The world is dark.

The wind and sand were very strong, the black clouds swirled like tornadoes, and bursts of thunder sounded from time to time. In the sky, a bird broke away from the flock and got lost in the yellow sand. It was so panicked that it fell to the ground.

The black body rolled on the sand, making a shrill scream.

at this time.

A hand reached into the yellow sand and picked it up.

The man was wearing a cloak, leading the horse, bracing against the wind and sand. The hat on his head had already been blown behind his back by the strong wind. He looked at the crow holding his fingers tightly in his hand, and chuckled loudly under the black scarf.

"Poor little thing!"

It was already dawn, and another night passed. He didn't go too far last night, and kept watching the two camels heading west, and then he set off to come back.

The yellow sand was rolling all over the ground, and the wind was so strong that a big man could not open his eyes. Even the horse behind him had to lower its head and walk against the wind, which was difficult and slow.

Fortunately, there was an inn not far away, and there were sounds of people drinking and laughing, as well as quarreling and scolding. You didn't need to think about it to know that there was another dispute inside.

"Don't break my things!"

The man sighed, because it was his inn, it was indeed his, and he had reshaped it bit by bit, which was not easy.

"gone!"

Stuffing the confused bird into his arms, the man continued to lead the horse forward. He first went to the backyard and put the horse back into the stable, where there were a few camels and a few sheep.

I also put the crow in. Although the wind was still a bit strong, at least the molded earth wall was strong and could block it. The bird squawked a few times and rested on the manger, pecking at the food inside.

thing.

"Oh, your voice is really ugly!"

He opened the bamboo curtain that blocked the sand and walked in.

Su Qing's return certainly attracted a lot of attention, but when he took off his hijab, the rest of the eyes also came over.

In the inn, swords were at war, and two waves of people faced off, drawing swords at each other, as if they were going to fight to the death if they disagreed.

"Shopkeeper, you are back!"

“It was windy and sandy last night, so we made do with it all night outside!”

It seemed that Lao Chai and the others had been back for some time. Although he was galloping all the way, he still couldn't outlast a camel in this desert. A few of them skillfully did the work of a waiter and diligently brought a basin of water.

"Hurry up and wash away the dust!"

Su Qing washed her hands and wiped her face, looked at the two groups of people casually, and said softly: "What's wrong?"

One group is the group of Tatars, led by a woman named Chang Xiaowen, who haunts the northwest border area all year round. She is nicknamed "Death-killing Impermanence" and is also a food hunter on the road. He has opened an inn in Longmen for three years, and it is a good time.

I heard about it from the caravans in the past.

Another wave.

Fengli Dao suddenly came closer and whispered: "The disguised official said he was looking for a woman. The pursuit order issued by the West Factory was to find a woman who slipped out of the palace!"

Su Qing smiled nonchalantly, wiped his hands, threw away the handkerchief, and said calmly: "The wind and sand are about to blow. How can you avoid so many things if you want to escape from the wind? If you want to go out and fight again, I like to be clean."

, guests who don’t like shouting and killing, please don’t dirty my place!”

"That's right, that's right. You all are traveling in the world. One more thing is worse than one less thing. It's not easy for us. It's just a matter of a few words, and it's over by turning a blind eye!"

Lao Chai acts as a peacemaker.

"Are you the innkeeper? Don't accept any more guests these days. We'll take care of the entire inn!"

Another group of people suddenly saw a man walking out. He had a pink face and red lips, and a black mole under his left eye, but his eyes were very gloomy. He smiled coldly and dropped a piece of silver.

"That's not okay. My store is not only for doing business, it's also a way for people who get lost in the desert to survive. What's more, there's going to be a strong sandstorm now!"

Someone shouted coldly: "Why do you pretend to have rules when you open a black shop? You just need to follow them, why is there all this nonsense!"

Su Qing was too lazy to talk to them anymore and walked straight upstairs, glancing at the groups of people downstairs.

"The place is mine, and so is the inn. If you can live there, stay there. If you can't live there, leave. It's up to you. You don't have to ask me. Just ask Feng Li Dao!"

Fengli Dao was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Su Qing looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart, as if everything he had hidden was leaking out. He moved his mouth, but did not say anything.

Come.

Ever since his father left him this news, he had worked hard to wait until today, but those things buried in the sand must not be known to the people of the West Factory, otherwise there would be nothing left if the West Factory army came to kill them.

For them, being alive was a problem, so they just gritted their teeth and really took over for Su Qing.

"Walking around the world, all I want is peace and wealth. You can just stay in a hotel!"

Unexpectedly, when he said this, the group of officials looked at each other, as if their expressions had changed, they were respectful and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right, it was us who were rude, so we can use the money as an apology. If it is not enough,

See you in the guest room tonight!"

After saying that, they ignored the reactions of others and turned around and went upstairs.

Only the group of Tatars, Lao Chai, and Fengli Dao were left.

Several people looked at each other with strange eyes.

Fengli Dao said in shock: "It seems that the shopkeeper has most likely seen through our deal. He usually hides it, but he didn't expect that he is really not an ordinary person. We should all be careful and stay safe!"

"

"Lao Chai, go and inform everyone, let's re-formulate a strategy. This shopkeeper is very secretive. He is neither black nor white, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

I bet these people are all in the same group.

Su Qing went upstairs. There was neither surprise nor panic in his eyes. He was very calm and calm. He just sat and gently rubbed his sword, silently.

Under the opened bed board, several voices and whispers could be heard faintly coming from the depths of the secret passage.

…

"Three hundred years ago, the Longmen generation was the capital of the Great White Kingdom. At that time, the Mongols sent troops to surround Blackwater City for a year. There were only 108 warriors left in the entire isolated city. They faced

Before his death, he sealed all the children, women and gold in the palace, and Blackwater City was submerged by wind and sand overnight!"

"The words on those two stone tablets should be read backwards, Laijia Feixinglong, the sand sea sinks into Shenmen, Laijia means sixty years, Feixinglong means black sandstorm, Shenmen means the gate of Dabai Shangguo's palace.

, every sixty years, the black sandstorm in the desert will blow the desert open, and the palace buried underground will break out of the sand, and then we will be able to find the treasure inside!"

The speaker was a female voice, but the voice suddenly changed again, it was Fengli Dao.

"The group of people who stayed at the Longmen Inn were also after the treasure, and their head was also a woman. Unfortunately, something happened midway. They burned down the inn for a man. Her life and death were unknown from now on. People in the world called her Jin Xiangyu, and her real name was

Ling Yanqiu!"

"However, the current leader is even more difficult to deal with. He seems to have been looking for that woman. Moreover, when Dongchang Jingqi was killed in this desert, he suffered heavy casualties. Even Cao Shaoqin, the governor of the palm seal, could not survive without seeing anyone dead or corpse. 80% of them were already dead.

He died, I guess he must have died in his hands. His hands were calloused, which shows that not only is he dominant on his right hand, but if he really wants to fight, he must be more careful with his left hand!"

The man who was cleaning his sword smiled inexplicably when he heard this.

The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

People in the world have no control over themselves. If you don't look for trouble, trouble will come.

What people in the world pursue is nothing more than fame and wealth. Buried under this desert are the treasures of a generation of dynasties. No matter who knows it, they may not be able to treat it with a normal heart. It was for those things that the gold and jade were inlaid. Su Qing

Why don't you know?

"As for those dog officials, two camels came outside the inn before, but they didn't see anyone. It's most likely what they are looking for!"

"Have you explored all the secret passages here?"

"No, the stone gaps are complicated, there are many mechanisms, and there are secret passages within the secret passages. I won't be able to figure it out for a while!"

"Then be careful, maybe those two people are hiding in here!"

Su Qing's movement of cleaning the sword suddenly slowed down.

That's because those sounds suddenly disappeared, and then...

"Ding ding ding~"

The sound of concealed weapons firing.

Su Qing took a breath and jumped into the tunnel with his sword in hand.

His figure was as fast as an ape, climbing back and forth on the mountain wall to gain strength. He was agile and quick, walking as fast as flying, as if walking on flat ground. After only thirty or forty steps, he saw a familiar figure being surrounded by several people.

, kept retreating, and the two of them looked at the front.

The woman's calm expression suddenly softened, but behind her there was an endless sound of "swish, swish, swish" piercing the air, and hidden weapon darts shooting out like rain.

Su Qing's eyes changed slightly, and he saw the woman running forward. A red rope suddenly appeared on her neck, and a ring finger was tied to the red rope. For some reason, when he saw blood on the woman's body, he squinted his eyes and chased after her.

of several people.
