Chapter 6 6. First Encounter in the Buddha Cave

Qin Wen was stunned for two seconds, and then burst out into a burst of wild laughter, laughing until the ground shook.People around looked at her with strange eyes, thinking that she had escaped from the psychiatric department of some hospital. "Xiao Li, have you read too many fantasy novels? There is such a thing as reincarnation or not. There is no such thing in the world." Qin Wen laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, imitating her tone of admonishing herself before, and said, "You are very Years of materialist education in vain?" Yin Li's face was flushed red by her smile, she wished she could punch that pretty face, turned around and walked out.Qin Wen hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm so bored, go out for a walk!" Yin Li replied angrily, and walked out of the cave.It was almost noon at this time, and the sun shone fiercely on the Gobi Desert in front of us.There are very few tourists, and most of them have already entered the cave. Only a few larger tourist buses are still parked not far away, and occasionally you can see the driver checking the performance of the bus. She leaned against the cliff, and her stomach growled very rudely.Looking around, even the souvenir vendors went into the cave to escape the heat, so I had to take out a few pieces of chocolate from my backpack to satisfy my hunger temporarily.

Just when she wiped out the third piece of chocolate, a familiar figure appeared in her vision.It was the bear-like man with the arrogant attitude and rude words last night, who seemed to be called the fourth child. What is he doing here? With a shovel and some food in his hand, the man named Lao Si went around the cliff and disappeared.Yin Li looked at the place where he disappeared strangely, stuffed the leftover chocolate into his backpack, and followed him. As the saying goes, curiosity will kill the cat.It's a pity that Yin Li at this time didn't believe it. The cliff stretches and undulates, and it does not know how many kilometers it spreads.The so-called corner is just a raised rock wall, and behind that rock wall, a cave about two meters high suddenly appears.Different from dozens of other caves, there is an iron gate at the entrance of this cave, which does not seem to be open to the outside.Yin Li leaned over and looked inside, the hole was very deep and there was no end in sight.She pushed the door, but the iron door was ajar. Looking at the deep cave in front of her, her heart began to beat violently.Something called curiosity spread rapidly in her body, out of control.

She slipped in nervously but excitedly, and gently closed the iron door.Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the iron gate, illuminating the flat rocky floor.There are very few murals on the walls, only some mottled fragments can be seen. The further you go, the dimmer the light becomes.On the wall of the cave, there is a niche every ten meters or so, in which a stone Bodhisattva is carved. The clothes on his body seem to have had color once, but it has gradually fallen off over the long years. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she stopped in front of a Buddhist altar, looking at the Bodhisattva inside in surprise—it had no head!

No, not headless.Yin Li took a few steps forward and looked carefully at the statue, only to find that the head had been chiseled off with a tool like a chisel.The section is still very new, it seems that it has just been chiseled not long ago. She was startled, and gasped. Could it be that those people, are they? Suddenly, a strong arm stretched out from behind her.She was so frightened that her face changed drastically, and before she even had time to scream, she was strangled by the neck and couldn't make a sound. "Little girl, curiosity can kill people, do you know that?" The man's voice was very familiar.Yin Li turned her eyes, and suddenly saw a pair of ice green pupils.My heart trembled suddenly, and I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave that would not melt for thousands of years.

She struggled desperately, but that arm was like an iron yoke, and the more she struggled, the tighter it was, she could barely breathe. "Little girl, if you don't want to die, don't make a sound." The young man whispered in her ear with a cold tone.Then, pushing her forward, Yin Li fell heavily on the ground, causing her whole body to ache as if falling apart, but she didn't dare to make a single sound. She clutched her neck, panting heavily, raised her head and looked at the handsome man with fearful eyes, feeling that there was no place in her body that was not cold.

The man looked at her coldly, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you still doing? Why don't you go!" Yin Li was stunned, did she hear correctly?He let her go?She saw them stealing national cultural relics, and saw their appearance, so he let her go?Could it be that he has some conspiracy to fail? "Remember, don't call the police." The man kept the volume down to the lowest, squatted down, his eyes were cold: "I know your name is Yin Li. If you dare to call the police, no matter where you are, I can find you, do you understand? ?” Yin Li looked at the pair of icy green eyes in fear, the cold aura in them made her shiver incessantly in such a dog days.She finally began to believe the waiter's words, he is indeed a devil!

"Understood?" The man emphasized his tone, his eyes became colder.Yin Li nodded hurriedly. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" Yin Li didn't dare to think any more, got up and ran out stumblingly until she disappeared on the other side of the iron gate. "Brother Xiang, what's that sound?" Yin Li just walked out of the iron gate, when the fourth child and another man with a mole on the corner of his mouth came out from a side road, looked around, and said. "It's nothing, it's just a wild cat." Situ Xiang said coldly, "Let's go, don't delay."

"Okay." Both of them seemed to be convinced by him, and followed him to the depths of the cave. Yin Li ran for a while, and when he ran to the original cave, he was out of breath, and his muscles were sore, and he sat down slowly leaning on the cliff arm.The sun is still extremely venomous, and the Gobi Desert in front of us is steaming with curling mist, and you can see the heat waves rolling upwards, which distorts the scenery in front of you.Yin Li's body broke out in cold sweat intermittently until her back was wet.In her whole life, she might never forget today, those terrifying ice green eyes, and that cold tone of voice.Everything she encountered today was enough for her to have nightmares for a whole month.

"Xiao Li!" A familiar female voice sounded, Yin Li jumped up as if she had taken a stimulant, and rushed to the surprised Xiaowen, hugging her tightly. "Xiao Li?" Qin Wen looked at her best friend strangely, she knew she was crying.Although there wasn't a single tear in her eyes, she just knew she was crying.Her whole body was trembling slightly, how helpless she was at this moment, so helpless that it made people feel distressed: "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Yin Li didn't answer, just hugged her like this for an unknown how long, and finally let her go.Her face was pale, and her hair was drenched in cold sweat, sticking to her forehead, as embarrassing as she could be.

"Xiao Li, what's going on?" Qin Wen frowned, "Who bullied you, I'll teach him a lesson for you!" "It's all right." Yin Li smiled, and stretched out her hand to brush the hair from her forehead behind her ears.There was no panic or fear in her eyes, only a trace of imperceptible fortitude. She looked into the distance and said lightly, "Perhaps in this life, one has to go through some things before becoming strong." Qin Wen frowned even tighter, touched Yin Li's forehead, and said to herself: "I don't have a fever, how can I talk nonsense? Xiao Li, what's going on? If you don't tell me, we won't go back today !" Yin Li couldn't laugh or cry at his friend's stubbornness, so he had to lie: "It's nothing, just being molested." "What? What bastard!" Qin Wen screamed, looking fierce.Yin Li regretted the words as soon as she uttered them, and quickly held her down: "Everyone is gone." "Hmph!" Qin Wen snorted angrily, and said sharply, "It's best not to let me meet him again, or I will definitely skin him!" "Yes, yes." Yin Li agreed, recalling the young man's skill, if he fought Qin Wen...she didn't dare to think about it anymore, it wasn't because she couldn't trust her good friend.But in terms of momentum, that man is already above Qin Wen. "By the way, who is this?" Only then did she realize that there was a young man wearing a peaked cap standing behind Qin Wen.He was wearing a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans, which appeared to be somewhat dirty.His face was also a little darkened by the sun, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at the two girls. "His name is Chen Qiang. He is a graduate student in the History Department of S University. He is doing an internship in the desert ahead with his mentor." Speaking of this man, Qin Wen's face softened a little. "Internship?" Yin Li didn't react for a while. Chen Qiang said with a smile: "I major in archaeology, and my tutor organized an archaeological team to excavate ancient tombs in the Taklamakan Desert." "Ancient tombs?" Yin Li looked at Qin Wen and said, "Are there ancient tombs in the desert?"
