Chapter 64 Chapter Eighteen: Praying Mantis Catch Cicada

After a while, Xu Zhiwu raised his head and said: "We must go back to the Guge ruins... Maybe the truth will be revealed soon." "Going to the Guge ruins again?" Laba frowned and said, "I went there once and caused so much trouble, and now I have to go..." Xu Zhiwu faintly showed color, and said: "Maybe if I go this time, I don't need to go again." There is something in his words. "Brother Zhiwu, what do you mean..." I asked him. "I'm just guessing...guessing...not sure, I'll go to see it first, and then I'll talk about it." Xu Zhiwu said vaguely, not wanting to explain.I thought to myself that I would intervene in this matter no matter what, and he was vague and unambiguous, anyway, I will know the answer in the end.So don't ask any more.

Xu Zhiwu asked Lao Li: "Li Zeng, can you go with us too?" His tone of discussion was exactly the same as when he forced us to come to Laba's house to guard the golden eyes and silver pearls. Lao Li is not a fool, so naturally he knows that he talks like this, It seems to be discussed, but it is completely unquestionable.So Lao Li didn't think much, and immediately agreed. Laba looked at the three of us worriedly, and said: "You are gone, the golden eyes and silver beads in my hand-I always feel uneasy, robbers and thieves have come to the house several times, you all know..."

When Xu Zhiwu heard this, he frowned and said: "This is also a problem... um... how about... put it in the bank safe." He awakened the dreamer, and Laba suddenly realized: "Yes! How can I I didn't think of this idea a long time ago. If it had been like this earlier, I wouldn't have bothered Xiao Luo and Li Zeng at all." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Zhiwu with a bit of complaint, "Why didn't you tell Zhiwu earlier." Xu Zhiwu "hehe", said: "I just remembered it too." However, it seems that he didn't "just" remembered it.

Neither Lao Li nor I made a sound.Rabbah said: "It would be nice of you to think about it earlier! Forget it, let's hurry up and put this scourge in the bank. It is by my side for a second, and I can't be at ease for a second." So we four big men escorted the gold, silver and silver beads to the bank in a mighty way.Laba will handle the formalities by himself.On Xu Zhiwu's car outside the bank, when Laba came out, I was sitting in the back seat with the windows open, and there was a small, ten-year-old shoe-shine boy with a toolbox on his shoulder, very Came over skillfully, knocked on the car window, and said, "Will you shine your shoes?" He spoke Mandarin with half his life, and kept staring at me. (When eating in restaurants around the Jokhang Temple Square, you can often meet such children.)

I felt very uncomfortable for him to see, and said impatiently: "Don't wipe it." The little boy smiled slightly and said, "If you don't do it, the gentleman next to you might do it!" After speaking, he said to Old Li, "Shoe shine, sir?" Old Li was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "Shoeshine?" Then he understood, waved his hands again and again, "No, no need." The little boy stared at Lao Li again, and then I thought he should be sensible and left immediately.In the end, his husband unexpectedly turned around, ran to Xu Zhiwu's side, still politely knocked on the car window, and told Xu Zhiwu again about the shoeshine.What he did just now, Xu Zhiwu has already seen it clearly.Therefore, as soon as his words fell, Xu Zhiwu said: "No need."

This little boy asked each of us all over, and after being rejected by everyone, he didn't show the slightest disappointment. He turned around and stood not far from our car with an indifferent face, and asked if he would wipe his face when he saw anyone. shoe.Few even stopped to listen to him finish.This kind of shoe-shining child has an indescribably worldly and quack flavor, which is repulsive, and has absolutely no innocence that a child should have.I don't know how his parents let them hang out in a society where good and evil are mixed at a young age. After a while, Rabbah came out.The poor kid actually went up to block Raba's way and asked him if he wanted to shine his shoes.Laba said impatiently: "Don't wipe it, don't wipe it." Hearing this, he moved half a step away and motioned for Laba to go, but his eyes were fixed on Laba.Laba ignored him, strode towards the car, and said as he walked, "Okay."

Laba got in the car and sat on the passenger seat. Xu Zhiwu was about to start the car and go, but the child stuck to it again. He put his face against the glass and looked at Lao Li and me, and then quickly ran to the front to look at me against the glass. He looked at Laba and Xu Zhiwu, then took a step back, counted one, two, three, four with his fingers.After counting, he looked at us a few more times, and then ran away as if flying. It's inexplicable! Once Raba saved his golden eyes and silver pearls, everyone's mood became more relaxed, and they no longer had to worry about the various actions of heroes from all walks of life.Everyone talked and laughed immediately.On the way, Raba received a call from Niqiong, saying that his visiting friend had returned and asked him why he was not at home. "I'll be right back, you wait for us by the door for a while." Rabbah said.

Soon we arrived at the gate of Raba's house, and Niqiong stood aside and waited for us.After Xu Zhiwu parked the car, everyone went upstairs to sit down for the guests and hosts. Xu Zhiwu told Niqiong straight to the point that he had found some secrets about the golden eyes and silver beads, but he couldn't tell them now, and he had to go back to the Guge ruins to confirm whether it was correct or not. After finishing speaking, he didn't say whether he wanted Niqiong to help or not, but he just looked at Niqiong meaningfully.Without even thinking about it, Niqiong said that he would go back to Zhaburang Village with us, and that he would be fully responsible for helping us with any matters concerning the Guge ruins.

Xu Zhiwu nodded in satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "Everyone helps each other." Niqiong smiled politely and said, "Don't dare." Laba's family has a store business to do, so naturally they couldn't go to Zhaburang Village with us, so it was me, Lao Li and Xu Zhiwu who went back with Niqiong. Xu Zhiwu had already been wary of Niqiong, but he didn't show it at all along the way, he still chatted with Niqiong in an intimate manner without the slightest barrier.Niqiong also responded calmly.In comparison, Lao Li and I are much more restrained and awkward.

Once at Niqiong's house, eat and drink enough, and sleep.Old Li Xu Zhiwu and I still huddled together to sleep together.There is nothing to say about these.It’s just that in the middle of the night, I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly I was woken up by a text message (I don’t have the habit of turning off my phone when I sleep), I opened it to read the content, and there was only a short sentence: “Shut up, golden eyes and silver beads are the scourge!” I fell into a drowsy sleep, and after reading it, I deleted the text message in a daze, and continued to sleep. When I woke up early the next morning, I suddenly remembered that I had seen a text message asking me not to interfere in the middle of the night, but after searching through the text box for a long time, I couldn’t find it, and it was impossible to find the phone number to check the destination.I even wondered if I had read such a text message in the middle of the night.

Tell Xu Zhiwu and Lao Li about this matter.Xu Zhiwu said: "Didn't someone tell you not to intervene in the Tibetan restaurant that time? It must be the same group. I don't know who it is, but I just told you not to intervene—I really care about you!" But I was a little horrified in my heart, and I couldn't help getting annoyed, as if my every move was being watched all the time.Although I didn't do anything wrong, the feeling of being spied on is very bad! "I don't know who it is, pretending to be a ghost!" I said angrily, "The more you don't let me interfere, the more I will take care of it. Let's see how you are!" "Whoever he is." Xu Zhiwu and Si Ni said, "Let's just do our own thing." Lao Li also echoed and said yes.Speaking of Lao Li, I always feel that since he promised to come to the Guge site, he has always been getting closer to Xu Zhiwu intentionally or unintentionally.However, I may be overthinking it. Although we have to do our own thing as Xu Zhiwu said, I was still a little depressed, and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah." Lao Li comforted me and said: "Master Luo, this person is also kind..." I know it is kind, but the feeling of having no privacy and being spied on is really uncomfortable, very annoying!Good deeds can't be done with good intentions! During breakfast, Nichon also saw that I was depressed and asked me what was wrong.Before I opened my mouth, Xu Zhiwu answered for me first: "Someone doesn't want him to meddle in the matter of golden eyes and silver pearls." Niqiong was a little surprised and said, "Does anyone know about golden eyes and silver beads?" I know it, Lao Li knows it, Xu Zhiwu knows it, Laba knows it, and Europeans who don’t know if it’s all the way know it. Almost everyone in the world knows the golden eye and silver pearl. What’s so strange about it.I said, "There should be quite a few people who know about it, right?" Niqiong let out an "oh" and didn't speak any more, just focused on eating. Xu Zhiwu said intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to be talking to himself: "This time, I should have found the right one." Niqiong immediately took the call and asked him, "What did you find right?" Xu Zhiwu said: "Golden eyes and silver beads - I know its function. However, I haven't found the entrance yet. If I find the entrance, I will know what's going on." Niqiong was overjoyed, and just as he picked up the vegetables, he stopped in mid-air and asked, "Really?" Xu Zhiwu nodded, and looked very worried again: "But I don't know where the entrance to the world of immortality is. If I know, things will be much easier." Niqiong's expression immediately returned to normal: "That's right." Xu Zhiwu looked at him earnestly: "Niqiong, you must be more familiar with the Guge ruins than any of us, so please help us—in fact, it's not helping us..." He paused, and said, "It's not helping, right? Everyone simply opened the skylight and told the truth, aren't you also waiting for the appearance of the second golden eye and silver bead?" When Niqiong heard this, he didn't show any surprise, and said indifferently: "Yes." Xu Zhiwu: "Then let's cooperate... One key opens one lock. Now we have one key, and I already know how to open and use it. As long as you take us to find the lock..." Before he finished speaking, Niqiong interrupted him: "How can you be so sure that I know the so-called lock?" Xu Zhiwu smiled slyly and said: "If you don't know? Would you stay here aimlessly for more than a hundred years?" Niqiong smiled very modestly and said nothing, which seemed to be a tacit agreement. "How?" Xu Zhiwu persuasively said, "Shall we cooperate?" Niqiong answered very simply: "I never said I would not cooperate! If not, will I come back with you?" Xu Zhiwu quickly said several times, "That's that." Niqiong continued: "However... as I said earlier, you need two golden eyes and silver beads, and you have to find High Priest Guge... Only then can you safely pass through various organs and enter the real core of immortality. Go here." After finishing speaking, he added, "Otherwise, the last time you came here, I told you what to do with High Priest Guge!" It seems that Niqiong has already planned every step of the way.I didn't expect him to be so scheming, it seems that I am too simple. Hearing this, Xu Zhiwu became worried, and said: "Two... one is already in a mess and people from all walks of life have come out. Once two come out, wouldn't everyone have to fight to get bloody? Besides, the second one doesn't know yet. It's in the hands of that fairy." Niqiong said: "If I want to know where the second statue is, do I need to sell my golden eyes and silver pearls to Raba?" The words seemed to belittle Xu Zhiwu's IQ. Xu Zhiwu couldn't hear it, but he didn't mind, and said: "Your chess is indeed better than mine. Then I don't need to say anything. In short, you get what you want. Xiao Luo and Li Zeng, I, The three of us are not useless—at least you can help you resist the Germans you met in Lhasa." Niqiong smiled noncommittally, looked around us, and then slowly said: "To be honest, I don't really need you anymore..." At this point, he changed the subject, "I want We have achieved our goal. However, the three of you combined together the things that we haven’t researched for so long, and you figured it out. So, I think it’s still necessary for us to cooperate.” "Haha..." After listening to Niqiong's words, Xu Zhiwu laughed loudly, "Brother Niqiong, as expected, you are the best. What can we say? Let's cooperate." Then he asked me, Lao Li, "Xiao Luo, Li Zeng, what do you two mean?" Li Zeng said hurriedly: "I have no objection." I see them calculating. Although they don't believe in the world of immortality, they really want to increase their knowledge and satisfy their damn curiosity.So he nodded in agreement. As a result, the situation immediately changed subtly. Originally, Xu Zhiwu had always had the upper hand, but in the end, Niqiong took the lead and took the limelight. The cooperation matter can be regarded as a preliminary consensus, and everyone did not talk nonsense on this issue.Xu Zhiwu brought up the incident in the Tibetan restaurant again, and asked Niqiong what was the origin of that European boy who spoke to him in Tibetan, and also frankly told Niqiong about his meeting with a German. Niqiong was slightly taken aback, and said, "Did you meet other Germans?"
