Chapter 118: The Old Priest(1/2)
"Let's talk after we leave southern Xinjiang first, otherwise we won't be able to escape if we are discovered by the priest." Shen Xin felt a little excited.
Tang Sha looked at Shen Xin and thought of those rebellious middle school boys who thought about running away from home every day and looked for every opportunity to run away from home.
Shen Xin has been suppressed for many years, but this stage has finally come. Does he, a twenty-seven-year-old man, still want to let her act like this?
It can be seen that Hou Xisheng has deep feelings for Shen Xin, otherwise he would not come to him specifically, let alone let himself and Yuan Fang in for Shen Xin.
Tang Sha hesitated, thinking, should he sell Shen Xin? Maybe he could win Hou Xisheng's favor. After all, what parents like most is to hope that their children will make friends with people who can lead their children on the right path.
friends on the road.
"Then you go call Yuan Fang first and I'll clean up." Just kidding, is she a good person?
"Okay!" Shen Xin lowered her voice, fearing that others would hear her.
Tang Sha didn't have any verbs, so he took a brief rest and washed himself with the water he packed last night.
Yuan Fang was not slow at all. Tang Sha walked out of the room, just as they were getting ready.
When other parents have conflicts with their children, naturally they can no longer stay there.
Several people hurried out of the yard. Shen Xin got a small boat from somewhere, and the three of them got on it without saying anything.
"Shen Xin, do you know the way out?" Tang Sha asked, looking at the vast surroundings.
"You need someone to guide you when you come in, but when you go out, I know. I've been out before." Shen Xin said slowly and confidently.
"And this ship can guide the way. Did you see the box on the bow? There are Gu worms in it. Gu worms can sense each other. Follow the needle on the box and there will be no problem."
Tang Sha nodded, this is the only infrasonic communication between animals. It feels so high-end.
"However, this is also my first time taking a boat here. The priests told me before that I had to go east and back to the south, and not come to the north."
Shen Xin's words made Tang Sha's heart sink. There was obviously something wrong with the ship in the north! Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to threaten whom?
This reminds Tang Sha of those TV dramas where people tell you not to commit suicide, yet you go to commit suicide and endanger others... **
"Shen Xin, I think we should go back and take another path." Tang Sha swallowed.
"Why?"
"Your priest must have a reason for telling you not to come."
"But I have seen him riding before." Shen Xin was puzzled.
Tang Sha was stunned. Could it be some kind of secret base? There were shady things hidden there, including the corpse of his lover? Or were there any taboos?
If there is really any secret, and Hou Xisheng catches it, Shen Xin may be punished at most, but as for her and Yuan Fang... I'm afraid it will be a dead end.
Shen Xin, Shen Xin, so simple and adorable.
If the jar is broken, throw it away. Now, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come and the earth will cover it.
"What are you worried about, Master?" Yuan Fang noticed that Tang Sha was a little anxious and asked softly.
"Aren't you worried?" Tang Sha asked back.
Yuan Fang looked around, didn't speak, and just nodded.
The boat is sailing on the water, and the passage of time is unpredictable. Anyway, for Tang Sha, days are like years.
You can't see the sun here, and there's no timer.
Therefore, Tang Sha could only count the numbers silently in his mind.
Until the count reached more than 6,000, the speed of the boat slowed down significantly, and a rustling sound was heard from the bottom of the boat.
This is rubbing against the sand below, so it must have reached the shore.
After a few breaths, the boat stopped moving, the fog was no longer so thick, and I could clearly see things within a five-meter radius.
The bow of the ship landed on the shore, and Shen Xin, who was sitting on the bow, got off the ground first. Tang Sha Yuanfang followed closely behind.
As soon as Tang Sha hit the ground, he discovered something unusual. The grass on the ground grew very dense and short, like a mowed lawn. Coupled with this dense fog, it was like... an exciting battlefield.
At this time, it would be even better if it could be equipped with a gun. The M4 is good, but I still like to use the AK.
Tang Sha smiled and cleared his mind of random thoughts.
"Ever been here?"
Shen Xin also frowned and said, "No."
This answer is quite honest.
There's no need to ask how to leave. Shen Xin didn't even know how they knew. This was truly getting on the pirate ship.
"Let's go ahead and take a look." Shen Xin tried to save the situation and said softly.
"Shen Xin, do you have any Gu insects that you can sense?"
"Yes." Shen Xin nodded. This kind of voodoo is the most common voodoo in southern Xinjiang.
"How many are there?"
"Four."
"It's just right. Let's put one on the bow, and let's take one for each of the other three. If we get separated by then, we can find each other. It can also be regarded as leaving a way out for ourselves."
Shen Xin thought it made sense, so she carried her backpack forward and flipped through it. After a while, she found it.
"This Gu is very convenient to use. As long as you inject internal force into it, you can sense it." Shen Xin seemed to be talking to himself.
There was a gust of wind in the air, and Tang Sha's body seemed to be directly petrified. Internal force? Are you kidding me?
Shen Xin seemed to realize something, and stopped suddenly, looking at Tang Sha and Yuan Fang with a troubled look on his face.
"Is there any other way?" Yuan Fang asked.
"Yes, plant it into your bodies." Shen Xin tilted the bottle, and four white, squirming insects appeared in her hands.
She was naturally not afraid of dealing with these things since she was a child, but Tang Sha hated seeing such soft and boneless creatures. Thinking about putting them inside her body made her stomach churn.
Snakes are cuter, at least they still have bones.
"What harm will it do to your body?" Yuan Fang also looked at those Gu insects and asked worriedly. The young master seems not to like these things.
Shen Xin felt itchy in the palm of her hand, Chong Chong was so cute.
"No, but it requires a wound on the body, and this kind of wound, without our southern Xinjiang medicine, will definitely leave scars."
Tang Sha imagined making a cut on his body, and then being bitten by these... vomit~
This reminded her of...Chen Xuan.
It must be said that Chen Xuan's death left a shadow in her heart.
"Put it away. Just leave one on the boat and we can walk by it." Tang Sha still chose to give up on this thing.
"Okay." Shen Xin lowered his head and put the Gu worms back into the bottle. He walked to the side of the boat and put one in the box.
Tang Sha:……
Does she sound disappointed?
After finishing it, a few people started to move forward. The density of the fog was very uniform, as if someone had deliberately spread it.
After walking for at least more than an hour, the three of them were still wandering in the fog.
"I think it's better for us to go back." There is nothing but grass around. If this continues, the three of them will starve to death here.
Just when the three of them were at a loss what to do, Shen Xin seemed to feel a hint of restlessness.
It's not him, it's the bug in his body, the one planted by the priest.
There...is something around here, calling it.
"Chen Xin?" Tang Sha saw that Shen Xin was a little dull and patted her shoulder.
Shen Xin came to his senses and looked in the direction behind Tang Sha.
Tang Sha's back felt cold. Is there something behind her?
Turning around suddenly...there was nothing.
Shen Xin raised his hand and pointed in that direction: "There is something ahead."
"What could it possibly be?" Tang Sha asked in his heart.
Shen Xin shook his head: "It's very kind, not dangerous."
Tang Sha then took a breath and said something like a reassurance.
"Want to take a look?" Tang Sha asked.
"Yeah." Shen Xin responded.
So the three of them walked in the direction Shen Xin pointed just now, and sure enough, within half a quarter of an hour, a building appeared in front of them.
This building...
Tang Sha was very familiar with this kind of thing. For a while, she traveled to many places with a few friends, and the one they visited the most... was the ancient cemetery.
This building is clearly a mausoleum. Compared with the imperial mausoleums I have seen, it is nothing more than that.
To be continued...
