The helicopter that had been on standby quickly arrived near Dunhuang. After everyone boarded the plane, they headed straight in front of the projection and left quickly.
"Lower the altitude..." As I kept urging the pilot to lower the flight altitude, I saw several plumes of dust and smoke rolling up in the desert from a distance. It seemed like two convoys were following us from different directions.
I turned to look at Juefa: "Is that the person from your magic hand, or the person from the Demon Sect?"
Juefa glanced outside and said nonchalantly: "No matter who it is, you won't let them come and cause trouble, right?"
The snake demon swung his beard and half-closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard anything. I signaled to Ren Tianqing, who quickly issued an order: "Stop the rear convoy from following. If the other party does not listen to the advice, annihilate it on the spot."
The two escorting military helicopters immediately turned around and pounced in the direction of the smoke. At this moment, the pilot on our plane said: "Sir, all instruments have failed."
"What did you say?" I stood up and looked over at the console. Sure enough, all the navigation on it was malfunctioning.
Before I had time to take a closer look at what was going on on the console, our plane suddenly drew circles in the sky.
I grabbed the armrest with both hands and shouted, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either!" the pilot said in a panic: "I don't know what's going on? The plane seems to be out of control."
Juefa, who was still sitting firmly in the cabin, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Lift off, try your best to lift off, quickly!"
I looked at Juefa, who roared again: "Believe me, I'm on the plane too."
"Take off!" I ordered resolutely, and the helicopter began to rise slowly. Juefa also gave me a thumbs up.
My order was actually not easy to give. The helicopter is not very high from the ground. Once the plane loses control, we still have a chance to jump out and escape. If the helicopter flew high into the sky, I would have cut off my own life with my own hands.
Juefa stood up and said, "We may be flying close to some kind of magnetic field. If you don't believe me, look down."
Before I could get close to the window, I felt the plane sinking suddenly, and I stumbled and almost fell to the ground. When I regained my footing, the plane struggled upwards for some distance.
As I went up and down, I clearly felt that the helicopter was like a bird with its claws tied up. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free from the shackles of the rope.
I walked quickly to the cabin door and looked out through the glass. I saw a vast white mist rising out of thin air in the vast desert. The wind and clouds were moving. The clouds accumulated in the yellow sand were almost touching the ground. At the bottom of the plane, if I didn't look at the endless yellow sand in the distance, I would even feel that the plane was flying over the sea of clouds.
"What's going on?" The snake demon took a breath: "Look below, there is a cyclone below."
Without the snake demon reminding me, I could already hear the howling wind outside the window, and the clouds on the ground were spinning crazily counterclockwise.
My heart suddenly went cold: "The center of the vortex is directly below us."
Ren Tianqing turned around and shouted: "Accelerate, take off at full speed, get out of the vortex, quickly!"
While the pilot was accelerating desperately, I saw an out-of-control helicopter hovering outside our cabin and disappearing in the blink of an eye. When I subconsciously wanted to look outside, I heard an earth-shattering loud noise in the distance and a flash of light. The firelight flashed behind him,
Ye Xun looked out from the cabin window behind me and couldn't help but said: "The two helicopters collided."
Oops!
We used a total of five aircraft this time. In addition to the three transport aircraft carrying people, they were two armed helicopters that intercepted the explorer.
Now, we have lost most of our men before we even touch the edge of the Hell Gate. This is a fatal blow to the morale of the Detective Hands and to the confidence of several of us.
I suddenly frowned, and Juefa smiled lightly and said, "What? Are you scared? As a detective, shouldn't I have taken life and death lightly a long time ago?"
I asked in a cold voice: "Aren't you afraid?"
Juefa was still calm and calm: "What's the use of being afraid? No matter how scared we are, we can't do anything. We can only wait for the plane to break away from the cyclone, or it will crash and kill everyone."
I couldn't refute what Jue Fa said, so I could only pretend not to hear it.
Juefa said, "Why don't you retort? Ye Xun, you don't like to talk. You, Wang Huan, are not a man of few words?"
I said angrily: "Are you still going to let me quarrel with you?"
Juefa smiled and said: "Between life and death, it would be nice to have someone to quarrel with, at least it's not so scary!"
I looked at Juefa inexplicably, and the latter sighed and said: "Actually, I am also afraid. I have a nickname called 'The Talkative Monk'. Because when I was young, I talked too much. At that time, I My friends often quarrel with me, even in the Shinhwa Forbidden Zone.
Juefa sighed again: "It's a pity that there are no people who quarrel with me now. They are all dead and sleep in the forbidden area of myths. And I, too, have become the Demon Monk Juefa. There has never been anyone who fights wits or ruthlessly with me. There is no shortage. But there is no one left to quarrel with me."
Juefa turned to look at me and said, "We met each other, do you have any regrets to confess?"
I couldn't help but sneer: "We are sitting on the same plane. Once it falls, I will die and you will not survive. Why bother with those useless things?"
"If you live or die, you will die! Who knows what will happen next?" Juefa said with a disapproving smile: "Actually, I also have a lot of regrets!"
I looked at Juefa coldly: "Don't worry, after you die, I have to take your ashes back, help you mix the cement, and build a women's bath, so you will have no regrets!"
"Hahaha..." Juefa laughed loudly and said, "Donor Wang is indeed a wonderful person, very wonderful, very wonderful!"
While Juefa and I were talking, the helicopter suddenly rose several meters higher and quickly rose into the sky.
Although the helicopter has not yet escaped the control range of the vortex, it is no longer bound by the gravity of the vortex center and begins to climb. The range that our sight can cover becomes larger and larger. It was only then that I realized that the vortex on the ground had already It has reached an astonishing area that can be calculated in kilometers.
The snake demon couldn't help but said: "Is this the gate of hell?"
"No!" Juefa shook his head and said, "If this vortex was the gate to hell, it would have been impossible for the Snow Demon Fox to come back alive. This should be the place where Wang Huan said he would calm the soul."
The three of us were in shock when Ye Xun suddenly said: "Look over there!"
When I turned my head to look in the direction of Ye Xun's finger, I took another deep breath.
The few streaks of yellow sand that had been chasing the plane just now had revealed their true appearance. They were not the convoy of the Magic Hands and the Demon Sect at all, but hundreds of ancient prison cars.
"Crime-suppressing prison van?" I just said four words and immediately rejected my judgment: "That's not a crime-suppressing prison van. What is it?"
The crime-suppressing prison cars that once appeared in the Three Eyes Forbidden Area were surrounded by airtight iron plates. The jailers were hidden in the prison cars. The prison cars could move straight without being towed. However, although the prison cars that appeared this time were also equipped with closed iron plates. The box was pulled in front by two heavily armored horses, traveling in the desert at a speed that was unimaginable.
The two helicopters I dispatched fired wildly at the convoy the moment the wind and sand cleared. The roaring fire dragons shook the ground and countless frames were blown into the sky. The shattered prison cars and war horses were tumbling and dancing in the air. Only then did I see the full picture of the war horse. It was clearly a horse bone covered in heavy armor.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "Where did these chariots come from?"
In my impression, Loulan, who is located in the desert, should not be good at using tanks. However, apart from being driven by two horses, those chariots were completely different from the chariots from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the early Han Dynasty. There was not even a place for warriors to stand on the chariots.
Juefa said calmly: "That might be a prison vehicle. Look carefully, those vehicles were blown apart."
When I looked in the direction of Juefa's finger, I saw bodies wrapped in white cloth rolling out of the bombed tank.
The purpose of the convoy was to send the corpse into the cyclone in the distance
I couldn't help but frown slightly, but Juefa said: "Wang Huan, do you dare to take a gamble and withdraw your helicopters. Let those tanks rush into the cyclone?"
"What did you say?" I didn't understand what Jue Fa meant.
Juefa said calmly: "You yourself said that the Mogao Grottoes suppress the souls and bodies of the demons in different directions. You can imagine that on the day of the solar eclipse, the projections of gods and demons cannot come. The people who built the Mogao Grottoes could not have imagined that. What?"
I was shocked: "You mean, those prison cars came from Mogao Grottoes? Do they contain human coffins?"
Juefa looked at me with a half-smile but said, "What do you think?"
I've heard of the term "human coffin." My dad once told me that in the past, when warlocks hunted down evil spirits and couldn't kill the ghosts, they would use themselves as coffins to deliberately allow evil spirits to possess them. Intangible ghosts become easy to capture once they have a physical form. However, the possessed sorcerer may also die as a result. Because they are using themselves as "coffins".
If the power of the devil's mind is really located under the cyclone, then it makes sense that a large number of prison cars rushed into the cyclone.
But what if I bet wrong
If instead of the human coffin left behind by the elders in the prison car, there is the body of the demon god hidden nearby, the result of my letting go of the prison car will be that the demon god will be born and sweep across the desert.
A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the top of my head.
Juefa said calmly: "Wang Huan, I heard that you are a person who is willing to gamble with your life, and you are also good at gambling. Looking at your past records, in which time did you not gamble your life to survive? What happened this time? Is it because Si Ruo is trapped in the gate of hell that you don’t dare to gamble?”
Juefa pointed to the sky: "Before the solar eclipse comes, you may still have time to think about it. Once the solar eclipse starts, you won't have that chance even if you want to gamble."
