From his excited expression, Ye Shaoyang seemed to see the sharp appearance of himself when he had just come down the mountain, and repeatedly told them that since they stayed, they must obey their own arrangements and never act rashly.
The brothers agreed.
On the night of Wu Jiawei's brother's arrival, Ye Shaoyang was sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag, and was suddenly woken up by Guagua, telling him that the Zikun Dao people were coming.
"Where!"
Ye Shaoyang hurriedly climbed out of his sleeping bag and asked.
"Just outside, let you go and see him."
Guagua had been in charge of the vigil, and when someone approached the camp, he was of course the first to find out.
Wu Jiawei also woke up and asked about the situation, Ye Shaoyang asked him to stay first and go out to meet the Zikun Dao people by himself.
"Ye Zhangjiao, meet again."
Behind a sand dune not far outside the camp, Ye Shaoyang saw the Zikun Daoist and saluted him with a flattering smile.
Ye Shaoyang simply returned the courtesy, not wanting to be verbose with him, so he asked directly, "How is it?"
” "My master wants to see you, so he specially asked me to pick you up."
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll call a few friends."
Ye Shaoyang didn't care if he liked it or not, he went back to wake up Sibao and the others, told him about the situation, and decided to take Wu Jiawei's brothers over with him, Lin Sansheng, a dog-headed military division, naturally followed, and Sibao and Guaga stayed behind to guard the camp.
When Zikun Dao saw Wu Jiawei and the brothers, they couldn't help but have some doubts, Ye Shaoyang briefly introduced that Wu Jiawei was not very good at acting, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him with a stiff face, but Wu Jiadao was smiling and almost.
Led by the Zikun Dao people, the group left the camp and first walked towards the north of the camp, and after climbing over several large sand dunes, the direction changed to the northwest.
The cold wind was howling at night, and Ye Shaoyang and the three of them were wrapped in thick military coats, and they still felt a little struggling.
"How far is it?"
Ye Shaoyang gasped and asked.
"It's coming, it's coming."
When Zikun Daoren repeated this sentence for the third time, he walked into a depression in the desert.
In the middle of the depression was a tall tree trunk, as thick as two people hugging each other.
Ye Shaoyang remembered hearing Fang Mona say that this was a poplar tree, which had long since died, but the trunk was still standing on the desert.
Zikun Daoist pointed to a tree hole at the root of the tree and said, "This is it." ” Over here?
Ye Shaoyang was a little stunned on the spot, he thought about many possibilities before, but he really didn't expect that they would open the entrance on a tree, thinking about it carefully, this place is indeed hidden enough, there is no one living in the desert, even if there is an occasional investigation or exploration of the road, he will not notice the existence of this tree hole at all.
The bottom of the tree hole was empty, and after the Zikun Dao people got in, they immediately jumped down, and after a while, his voice came from below, beckoning Ye Shaoyang and the others to go down.
Ye Shaoyang glanced at Brother Wu Jiawei, meaning to let them be careful, and the two nodded.
Ye Shaoyang took the lead in and saw that the Zikun Dao people were holding a candle below, about three or four meters deep, so he jumped down.
Wu Jiawei brothers followed, and the three of them looked by the light of the candle, and saw that there was a rock cave diagonally downward, which should be a natural cave, but there were traces of excavation and processing around it, and there were simple stone stairs on the ground.
A guy stood at the entrance with a torch in his hand, with a grinning mask on his face, only two eyeballs exposed, dripping and circulating on Ye Shaoyang and the three of them, with full vigilance and hostility.
Ye Shaoyang noticed that this guy was wearing thick clothes, dirty and torn, as if he didn't know where he picked it up.
The Zikun Daoist walked over, took out a sign from his pocket, and showed it to him, and the disciple immediately retreated and made way for him.
"Mr.
Ye, everyone, please."
The three of them followed the Zikun Dao people and went down the cave, and they could feel a faint wind blowing in their faces, but the temperature in the cave was not too low, at least it was much warmer than the ground where the cold wind was howling.
After walking for dozens of meters, he met a guarded disciple again, and the Zikun Daoist showed the sign again before he was allowed to pass.
Ye Shaoyang curiously asked for the sign to come over, and saw that it was a domino, which should have been obtained from the bones of some animal, and there were some strange symbols engraved on it.
"This is a token issued by the High Priest, and only with this can you enter and exit the cave."
Zikun Daoist explained, "They are very well guarded, and if a stranger breaks in by mistake, there is only one way to die." ” Along the way, I saw a few believers, wearing all kinds of clothes, in short, they were all dirty and messy, the explanation of the Zikun Dao people is that these clothes are abandoned by the explorers they picked up in the desert, and they are worn at night to keep out the cold, and they will take off when they go out to act during the day, and good clothes are also here, all of them are bought in the towns around Lop Nur, because the road is far away, they can't go often, so only people with some religious status are qualified to wear them.
"How many of these disciples are there?"
"There are only a few dozen left, and they are the last of their clansmen."
Zikun Daoren said.
Ye Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "What do you say?"
” "Let's not talk about that, I'll take you to see my master first."
After walking two or three hundred meters away, the cave was divided into three, and there was a foul smell in front of them, Ye Shaoyang and the three of them were so smoked that they hurriedly followed the Zikun Daoist to the cave on the far left, and after walking for a while, the smell disappeared, and Ye Shaoyang immediately asked what was going on.

Zikun Dao people smiled: "The cave in the middle is where they excrete......
"Excretion?"
Ye Shaoyang was stunned and asked casually, "Why do you want to excrete in the cave?"
” "Ye Zhangjiao, what you asked, they are all in the cave for eating, drinking, and lazing, can't they let people pee and on the ground?"
Ye Shaoyang was speechless.
Go further, it is flat ground, the cave also began to wind, there are countless forks, with the light in the hands of the Zikun Dao people, you can see that some forks are very deep, you can't see the head, some are very short, like a hole in the rock, most of them are lying people, all of them are those believers, there are no beds in the wall hole, these disciples are sleeping on some dead branches and weeds, some are wrapped in sparse quilts, and some are a pile of torn clothes.
There is a jar on the side that is eighty percent used to hold water.
As they walked by, the people in the caves immediately got up, buckled their masks, and looked at them with hostility, and some of them chased them out of the holes, staring at them.
"These people aren't friendly."
Ye Shaoyang muttered.
"Of course, they are very xenophobic, if it weren't for their high priest taking care of us, we would have become their guns a long time ago, Ye Zhangjiao, have you seen the guns in their hands?"
After being reminded by the Zikun Daoist, Ye Shaoyang noticed that in the wall hole of each resident, there was a spear, and the texture should be cut out of wood, and one end was very sharp.
