Looking at the mountain and running to death, the desire for the sea is endless.
At this time, this sentence could not be more suitable for Xu Tiannan and Xu Tiannan. For a short distance of less than 10 kilometers, the two of them seemed to have walked for a century.
However, as the two got closer to the ancient city, the surrounding sandstorms became more intense. The Custer landscape made a whistling sound as the strong wind passed by, just like a huge devil in the night, ready to devour the people in front of them at any time.
Everything that comes.
Finally, the two of them braved the wind and sand and finally arrived at the main entrance of the ancient city ruins. This is a ruins with a history of more than two years. All the building complexes were built with raw soil back then, so it also attracted many film crews from other places.
I often come here for photography.
In order to protect this ancient city to the greatest extent, the Ancient Relics Preservation Association is only open to tourists and film crews during the day. It is closed after day and night, and security guards guard the entrance.
Just next to the gate, there is an exhibition hall built in the later period. There are many dazzling ancient costumes and props in the exhibition hall. Visitors can rent these costumes and take photos, or watch performances here and experience them immersively.
That historical story from two thousand years ago.
The duty room was very small, and there was still a faint light on from the outside. Zheng Jianghu said: "The surname is Xu! Lin Wanshan and his gang may be hiding in the duty room. Come with me to check... Huh? You can hear what I say.
without!"
Only then did Zheng Jianghu realize that while he was speaking, the other party was covering the flashlight with his hand, shining a ray of light through his fingers, staring at the guide sign at the entrance of the exhibition hall and not knowing what he was looking at.
"What are you looking at?"
Zheng Jianghu walked over and found that the guide board he was looking at introduced the origin of the history of this ancient city. At the same time, the most famous story in this ancient city was undoubtedly "Song of Sadness", also known as "The Song of Sorrow".
It is the "Song of Princess Changjun" that people often talk about.
"The surname is Xu!" Zheng Jianghu pushed the other party and urged: "How long has it been and you are still looking at Liu Changjun?"
Xu Tiannan said: "Huh? Even you know her story?"
Zheng Jianghu said: "Who are you looking down on? This story has been taught by teachers since childhood. Isn't it the story of a princess who married into the Wusun tribe in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty? Okay, stop talking nonsense and go to the duty room to have a look!
"
The two quietly walked outside the duty room and looked out of the window. Sure enough, they found Lin Wanshan and several others inside. In addition to Murong Shui, the hostage, the other party also held hostage a security guard who was guarding the door.
One of the thugs slowly walked to the window, and the two immediately hid, but they could still hear the sounds coming from inside.
"Boss, it looks like this sandstorm won't be over for a while, why don't we leave overnight?"
Lin Wanshan said: "No, even the sandstorms in places like this have reached at least level 8 or above. If it is on the mountain, the wind will only be stronger. In this case, we cannot get over it."
The security guard with his hands tied to the radiator saw that the three people in front of him were armed with guns and had also kidnapped a girl and broke into the place. He already knew in his heart that the other party must be a felon wanted by the police, so he said tremblingly: "
Big brothers! Although I don’t know what happened, as long as big brother spares my life, I promise not to tell anyone what happened today, okay?”
"you shut up!"
Lin Wanshan glared at the other party with his squinting eyes and said: "To tell you the truth! I can't even remember the lives on our brothers' hands! The reason why I still keep you alive now is that you will lead the way for us later.
, find a road that can pass through this ancient city the fastest and reach the foot of Talbahatai Mountain. As long as you get things done, I will naturally spare your life!"
The security guard said with a sad face: "Brother, do you know this? This ancient city is at least four to five thousand acres in size, and the area now developed is less than one-fifth. I... I am a small security guard, how can I recognize it?"
The fastest way out of the city!"
"From what you say, that means you are of no use to us!" After Lin Wanshan finished speaking, he suddenly loaded the pistol and looked at the other party with a murderous look in his eyes.
When the security guard saw the other party's posture, he was so frightened that he almost peed. He hurriedly shouted: "There are road signs! There are road signs! Don't kill me!"
Lin Wanshan put the gun against the opponent's temple and said in a deep voice: "Speak clearly!"
At this point, the security guard didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
——"Although... although this ancient city is very big, I once heard the leader say that in order to facilitate management during the construction, the construction team divided these thousands of acres of land into 108 areas. As long as we start from the number 1
Go down the road in the area, and when you reach No. 108 at the end, it is the exit of this ancient city."
——"But...but the leader also said that now only No. 1-8 is open to the public. After dark, no one is allowed to go to the area after No. 9..."
Lin Wanshan asked: "Why are you not allowed to go there?"
The security guard didn't seem to dare to answer this question. He just gestured to the west wall of the room with his eyes. Everyone followed their eyes and found that in the direction of the west wall of the security room, there was a statue of a woman. The statue was wearing
Exquisite red wedding dress, with various tributes placed in front.
Lin Wanshan was confused, pointed at the statue and asked: "What do you mean? Be clear!"
When the security guard saw the other person pointing at the statue, he was so frightened that his lips began to tremble and said: "Brother, brother...how dare you disrespect Princess Changjun, please...please apologize to her!"
Lin Wanshan has been working hard in the world for many years, and has always believed in the power in his own hands. Since the gun is in his hand, he has the greatest power among the group of people, so he will never believe in these nonsense about strange powers and gods.
But at this moment, the security guard was so frightened that his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he hurriedly explained to everyone,
——"It is rumored that during the Han Dynasty, Princess Liu Changjun married into the Western Regions as a marriage princess between the Han Dynasty and the Wusun tribe, and became the owner of this ancient city."
——"But in that era, Princess Heqin herself was a victim of politics, and Liu Changjun was also the daughter of a guilty minister, so she died of depression within five years after being married off to this place by the Han royal family."
——"So after that, a terrifying legend has been circulating in this ancient city. It is said that Princess Liu Changjun died in a foreign country and left her longing, resentment, anger and other emotions in this ancient city in this life, which made the ancient city full of people.
People died one after another."
After finishing speaking, the security guard turned pale with fear and kept trying to dissuade Lin Wanshan from making amends to the statue of Princess Changjun. At the same time, he explained: "So, brother, believe me, I won't harm you! But we really can't."
Go to the area after Area 8 when it gets dark, because just after Area 9 of this ancient city, you are close to the tomb of Princess Changjun. No one is allowed to disturb you at night, otherwise Princess Yicheng will be blamed... Enter
People in that area will definitely die!"
"joke!"
Lin Wanshan was not afraid of the other party's story at all. He just sneered and said to the other party: "I don't have time to listen to you telling these deceptive stories. I want to ask you now, are you willing to lead us?"
The security guard closed his eyes tightly, and it could be seen that he was really afraid of this legend.
Suddenly, the security guard was frightened by the sound of a gunshot. When he opened his eyes, he found that the head of the statue of Princess Changjun in front of him had been punched with a deep bullet hole, surrounded by bullets that had fallen on the ground.
Wood chips.
"Brother! You..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Wanshan put the pistol against the other person's head again and said viciously: "We brothers must pass through this ancient city. No matter whether it is ghosts or gods and Buddhas who stand in front of us, I will kill them all! So you can kill them all!"
Lead the way, do you understand?"
The security guard was so frightened by the shot that he almost peed his pants. At this time, he no longer cared about the legend and just nodded and agreed to the other party's request.
Lin Wanshan smiled, then put away his gun and said to the two thugs: "You two take turns guarding the door of the duty room. We will set off immediately after the sandstorm becomes smaller."
…
Outside the duty room, the two people hiding outside the window also overheard all of each other's conversations.
Xu Tiannan asked: "Old Zheng, how long will it take for the support troops to arrive?"
Zheng Jianghu said: "If they can successfully see the mark you left on the road, if nothing happens, they will arrive here within 2 hours, or..."
"Or what?"
Zheng Jianghu looked embarrassed and said: "Maybe we won't be able to get here until tomorrow morning."
"No way? It will take that long?" Xu Tiannan looked very surprised when he heard this.
But Zheng Jianghu quickly explained: "This sandstorm has been blowing for several hours, and it shows no sign of stopping until now. I'm afraid the border road will be blocked by sand dunes again this time."
Xu Tiannan said: "How could this happen?"
"A sandstorm of this magnitude can move a sand dune taller than a person at least 5 meters away in less than half a night."
After Zheng Jianghu finished speaking, he glanced at the black sand in the distance, and said with a worried look on his face: "So tonight's sandstorm has been blowing for so long, it must have blocked the border road, and it's difficult to support the troops.
Now I can’t even go to the gas station, so I have to walk here.”
Xu Tiannan knew very well that although Zheng Jianghu was experienced in many battles, there were still three gunmen on Lin Wanshan's side. Even if he had a head-on confrontation with them, it would be difficult to guarantee Murong Shui's safety.
However, time is passing by little by little. Once the sandstorm becomes smaller, the opponent will pass through the ancient city, and Murong Shui will not be able to be dealt with by then.
Zheng Jianghu took out his pistol and checked it, and said to himself: "I still have 4 magazines here. The bullets are enough, but there is always a gatekeeper in this group of people. If there is any trouble, he will definitely alert the snake. His surname is Xu
Yes, is there anything you can do?"
Xu Tiannan frowned tightly, clasped his hands together, and put his thumb to his mouth. At the same time, his brain was running rapidly. He always believed that no matter what difficulties he encountered in this world, there would be a solution.
He quietly walked to the window behind the duty room, stuck his head out and looked at the situation inside.
The phone line in the duty room has been cut off, and Lin Wanshan and two armed thugs, one of whom is guarding the front door, will definitely alert the enemy if he makes any movement.
