Chapter 110: The Imminent Death of Man
Zhang Shukai's voice was very low, and it could be seen that his mood was very low, but he did not show nervousness, panic and overwhelmed.
Hearing Zhang Shukai's words, Wang Xinran's face changed greatly, and he walked quickly.
Wu Zhongyuan put the jade box into his backpack and eagerly followed out.
When he went out, Wang Xinran was squatting next to Zhang Shukai looking into his eyes, and Lu Jiahui was sitting on Zhang Shukai's left side, in a daze.
There may be relevant information that records and describes corpse poison inside the eighteenth sub-bureau, and the three of them should have seen the relevant information, and they all know what the symptoms of corpse poison will be, after checking Zhang Shukai's eyes, Wang Xinran stood up calmly, took out a cigarette and lit one.
"Give me one. Zhang Shukai said.
Wang happily pulled out a cigarette and handed it over, pressed the lighter, and helped him light it.
Although I hadn't seen Zhang Shukai smoke before, it didn't mean that he couldn't smoke, Zhang Shukai lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, "It's an honor to work with the two." ”
"Are we sacrificing our lives for the country?" Lu Jiahui said to herself.
"Count, we can all be rated martyrs. Wang Xinran smiled very reluctantly.
"We are running out of time," Zhang Shukai said, "No. 9, help me record my last words." ”
Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording function, "Okay." ”
Zhang Shukai cleared his throat, and then laughed a few times, it could be seen that he wanted to show open-mindedness and fearlessness, but his smile was very unsuccessful, and it was a bitter smile that could not be controlled.
After a wry smile, Zhang Shukai began to speak, his parents seemed to have passed away, and the last words were left for his sister who was still studying, first saying that he was about to die soon, and then telling the other party his bank card password and the preferential treatment that the other party would enjoy in the future, under the control of his efforts, his mood and tone were quite stable.
Zhang Shukai is relatively wooden, even if he dictates his last words, it seems to be a routine, very short, and there is no affectionate expression.
At the same time that Zhang Shukai dictated her last words, Lu Jiahui was also doing the same thing, but she went to the corner to record it herself, her voice was very low, she couldn't hear what she said, and she didn't know who the last words were left for, but she was sad and excited, and she kept crying.
After Zhang Shukai finished speaking, he stood up on the ground, and said happily to the king, "Do what you should do, let's go out first." ”
Wang Xinran clenched her teeth and didn't answer, she knew why Zhang Shukai did this, Zhang Shukai wanted to leave the underwater mausoleum by himself while he could still walk at this time, so as not to go into the water to search for the body after the sacrifice.
"Let's go. Zhang Shukai said to Lu Jiahui.
Hearing Zhang Shukai's words, Lu Jiahui sobbed and walked over from the corner and handed the recording device in her hand to Wang Xinran.
"My eyesight is badly impaired, give me a hand. Zhang Shukai said to Lu Jiahui.
Lu Jiahui did not support Zhang Shukai, but kept looking at Wu Zhongyuan, with a very sad expression and complicated eyes.
After more than ten seconds of staring, Lu Jiahui suddenly pointed a gun at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect Lu Jiahui to make such a move, and instinctively took a step back in shock.
Almost at the same time as Lu Jiahui raised her gun, Wang Xinran also pulled out a pistol and aimed it at her.
Lu Jiahui was emotional and did not speak. Wang Xinran's expression was solemn and he did not speak. Zhang Shukai's eyes were already white, and he guessed that something had happened, but he didn't know what had happened, and he didn't speak.
Wang Xinran took out the cigarette case with his left hand and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "Turn your back and take three, two of which will pinch off the filter." ”
It was only at this moment that Wu Zhongyuan understood why Lu Jiahui was holding a gun at him, in the stone room in front of him, he had obtained an elixir that could cure all poisons, but there was no punishment in the stone chamber after that, there was no need to use this elixir, there was no doubt that Zuo Ci was worried that he would be bitten by a monkey, so he was left with a glimmer of life.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, and didn't take the cigarette case handed over by Wang Xinran, he had been bitten by the mercenary who fell to the ground before, and the situation was chaotic at that time, and Wang Xinran and the others did not find out about this situation.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan shaking his head, Wang Xinran raised his eyebrows and urged, "Take it!"
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't move, Lu Jiahui lost control of her emotions, lowered her gun, and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so scared." ”
"We have all memorized the wartime regulations, and if we encounter danger on the battlefield, we will give priority to ensuring the safety of the commander," Zhang Shukai stretched out his hand to explore Lu Jiahui, "Don't be afraid, I am here, I will protect you on the Huangquan Road." ”
Lu Jiahui stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Shukai, crying and nodding, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Shukai took the lead, Lu Jiahui led him and walked beside him, the two did not carry backpacks or respirators.
"Take out the antidote pill. Wang Xinran roared at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
"You don't have the power to decide whether someone else lives or dies. Wang happily came over and snatched the backpack.
Wu Zhongyuan clinged to the stone wall, stretched out his hand to entangle with her, and did not let her get the backpack.
"They are involved in this mission because of me," Wang gladly blamed himself, "I can't keep the chance to live to myself." ”
"Everyone has to face a choice, doesn't they?" Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away.
"You can't be so selfish," Wang Xinran choked up and grabbed again, "Let's draw lots, let God decide, that's the fairest." ”
"Heaven can't decide anything. Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away again.
"Bang. "A gunshot rang out from the stone chamber outside.
The two looked back in amazement, only to see that Lu Jiahui had fallen, Zhang Shukai pointed a gun at his right temple, without any hesitation, "Bang." ”
After two gunshots, the two stopped fighting, this was not the original plan of the two, the reason why they committed suicide in advance was just because they didn't want Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran to be embarrassed.
Wang Xinran was very sad, leaning against the stone wall, silently choked.
Wu Zhongyuan took off his backpack, found the pill, crushed the wax seal, and handed it to Wang Xinran.
Seeing the life-saving elixir, Wang Xinran became more and more sad, "You are too selfish, and I am too selfish." ”
"We weren't selfish, we just did what we had to do. Wu Zhongyuan stuffed the detoxification pill into Wang Xinran's mouth, unscrewed the water bottle again, and fed her to take it.
After doing this, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the jade box, the jade box is also a cover buckle structure, it is more laborious to open, after opening it, it is found that there is a gelatinous residue at the connection between the jade box and the jade cover, the function of these gelatinous residues should be sealed and moisture-proof, and they are not destroyed It means that although those mercenaries took the jade box, they did not open it.
Inside the jade box were nine rolls of sheepskin, placed side by side, shaped like a cigar, about fifteen centimeters in length and no more than the thickness of a thumb.
I took out the roll on the right edge, it felt a little heavy in my hand, and it should be wrapped in something else.
When the sheepskin is opened, the contents are revealed, which is a roll similar to a bamboo slip, but smaller and thinner than the bamboo slip, and its material is not wood, but a light metal with a golden color.
There is a golden wire connection between the gold slips, a scroll with the thickness of the thumb, unfolded is 30 centimeters long, and each piece of gold slips has ancient characters on it, and the number of words varies.
"What is it?" Wang asked happily.
"The Book of Heavenly Seals. Wu Zhongyuan said that in order to be able to communicate with others as soon as possible after returning home, he had carefully studied ancient characters.
"Is the Heavenly Seal Book the predecessor of Qimen Dunjia?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, rolled up the golden slip again, wrapped it in sheepskin and put it in the jade box.
After putting the jade box into the backpack, Wu Zhongyuan did not put the backpack on his back, but handed the backpack to Wang Xinran, "Help me get it." ”
Wang Xinran didn't know why, but when he thought the backpack was heavy and was too lazy to carry it all the time, he reached out and took the backpack.
Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked towards the eighth stone chamber, as the main burial chamber sank, the gap between the main burial chamber and the stone chamber became larger and larger, and more and more lake water poured in from the gap.
Wu Zhongyuan walked to the stone platform, put the pistol that Zhang Shukai had given him earlier on the side of the stone platform, and then supported the stone platform with both hands and looked at the copper plate on the stone platform.
At this time, the corpse poison had already begun to attack, and the graphics on the copper plate were somewhat ghostly and blurry in his eyes.
Wu Zhongyuan knew that his time was running out, and he didn't dare to delay, he stretched out his hand to turn the disc and aimed the yang in the two instruments at the "king".
Sixiang he chose the green dragon, the green dragon for the young yang, for the spring, as a king, must have an enterprising heart, leading the subjects to develop in a good way, but can not be quick success, seek quick progress, need to step by step, so exclude the old yang rosebird.
He chose the soil of the five elements, and as a king, he must be benevolent, benevolent, and virtuous.
Gossip he chose Ze, the king is the leader of the world, condescending, without Ze by the heart of the people, without the virtue of shelter and nourishment, how can he be a king.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan eagerly turning the copper plate, Wang Xinran was afraid that he would make a mistake in the chaos, and said on the side, "Don't worry, we still have time." ”
Wu Zhongyuan has been gritting his teeth, lest his emotions get out of control, listening to Wang Xinran's words, his heart became more and more sad and desperate, he sighed long, and shook his head with a wry smile.
When it was the turn of the Nine Palaces, Wu Zhongyuan hesitated, the king is the honor of the Ninety-Five, there are five of the nine palaces, the nine of the palaces are the supreme, and the five of the middle palace are eternal, and they can't take care of both, so they can only choose one of them.
At this time, the discomfort caused by the attack of corpse poison became more and more obvious, in addition to blurred vision, he also began to have a severe fever, and his internal organs were like being burned.
After a short period of silence, Wu Zhongyuan chose the middle palace, five not only represents eternity, but also represents peace and peace, a king can not be impatient and rash, he needs to be calm and peaceful, taking into account the overall situation.
He chose himself for ten days, and he was the land of the countryside and the king, who was not only the leader of the high, but also the cornerstone of the people.
Once the corpse poison attacked, the symptoms became more and more serious, and at this time, Wu Zhongyuan was already sweating profusely, and his whole body was trembling involuntarily.
Wang Xinran found that Wu Zhongyuan was not quite right, and looked at him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Wu Zhongyuan was afraid that Wang Xinran would find out that his eyes were abnormal, so he hurriedly tilted his head aside, "It's okay, it's a little hot, bring me some water to drink." ”
While the king happily took the water, Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand again, turning the twelve earth branches, this time he chose the horse, the reason why he chose the horse and did not choose the dragon, because the horse is the dragon that enters the world, more peaceful and easy to deal with than the dragon, in his opinion, the king can not be high, to be benevolent and close to the people.
Wang Xinran took out the mineral water, unscrewed it and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, and at a glance found that Wu Zhongyuan's eyes were covered with a layer of white, and he instantly gasped, "Your eyes?!"
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't see the outermost ring of many hexagrams clearly at this time, and when he heard Wang Xinran's exclamation, he was relieved, and took a few steps back and stood against the wall, panting heavily.
"What's going on?" Wang Xinran asked nervously.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, Wang Xinran eagerly examined his arms and legs, and after seeing the bite on his right leg, his face changed greatly and he was speechless.
The sharp rise in body temperature affected Wu Zhongyuan's sanity, and at this time he was already a little unconscious, gasping for breath while muttering to himself, "You can't punish the people casually, the reason why they are the people is precisely because they don't have enough knowledge and the pattern is not high, you can't use the standards of a wise man to ask them, be more tolerant, forgive their ignorance and stupidity, and can't punish them casually......"
Wang Xinran was already out of order at this time, nervous and anxious but helpless, "What are you talking about?"
"Aim the hexagram of the combination of water and gold at the king. Wu Zhongyuan couldn't stand up and sat on the ground.
There was water on the ground, and when he saw him collapsing, the king hurried to help him.
"Go. Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away.
"What do you care about?" Wang said happily.
Wu Zhongyuan was burned inside, and it was difficult to speak, "I have lived here for eighteen years, I can't just leave, I have to leave something for you." ”
Wang burst into tears, endured his grief, and got up and turned the disc.
After a few seconds, the trap activates.
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't see anything clearly at this time, it was pitch black in front of him, and the sound of the mechanism activating made him feel relieved, "Give me the pistol, grab the things and leave quickly." ”
Wang Xinran naturally wouldn't listen to him, and cried and came over to support him, "You yourself were bitten, why did you give me the pill?"
"I want to give it to you. Wu Zhongyuan said that the high fever caused spasms and made it difficult for him to speak.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wang Xinran was overwhelmed with grief, hugged Wu Zhongyuan tightly, and cried.
"I, I can take the remains...... Donate to the country, useful ...... All to the country, you ...... Don't kill my brother. Wu Zhongyuan said with difficulty.
Seeing that he was still worried about Lin Qingming when he was dying, Wang Xinran became more and more sad, "I promise you, I will help you do it." ”
Wu Zhongyuan had already entered a dying state at this time, his consciousness was becoming more and more chaotic, and his thinking was becoming more and more difficult, and he urged Wang to take the pistol to him happily.
Wang Xinran just cried, Wu Zhongyuan's hands and feet had begun to cramp and deform now, and even if he put the pistol in his hand, he couldn't pull the trigger.
"I'm fast, I'm not going to do it, you go quickly, don't let me ...... Don't let me bite you. Wu Zhongyuan tried to push Wang Xinran away, but his limbs were no longer controlled, and the instructions transmitted by his brain caused his limbs to twitch violently.
Seeing this, Wang Xinran could only let go and retreated, crying and pulling out the pistol.
The violent convulsions lasted for more than ten seconds, and the convulsions made Wu Zhongyuan weaker and weaker, and his breath was like a gossamer.
"Don't always look at me, I'm not careful...... It's not a little family, I just want to go back. These were the last words Wu Zhongyuan said, and he didn't know what Wang Xinran said because he was unconscious......
