"As the old saying goes, the fierce are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal are afraid of the stunned, and the stunned are afraid of dying. It means that the wicked are also divided into degrees, and the really deadly bandits, no matter how you threaten, it is useless.

In my opinion, Gu Yu is at least stunned, this kind of guy who has been on the road for a long time really doesn't take his life seriously, so no matter how hard your background is, it's a big deal to lose your life.

It feels uncomfortable to be held by a knife to the neck, and this feeling of hanging your own life in the hands of others makes me feel very uncomfortable. Frowning, but didn't dare to move, Gu Yu looked at me.

The silence at this time seemed extraordinarily long, even for a second.

"I have a proposal!"

At this moment, I suddenly spoke, Gu Yu didn't say anything, and looked up at me.

"If you keep going down this road, you will see a huge iron gate, and after passing through the iron gate, you will find the underground palace. I can guarantee that I am not lying to you, but no one can tell what the dangers are. If you and your people don't have guinea pigs to find your way, you may not be able to get out of it all in the end. ”

I was only halfway through my words when Wei Changping in the back had already interrupted me and shouted: "Our brothers have been traveling from south to north for so many years, and they have never been afraid, what's the matter? Do you think this little difficulty can kill us?"

I ignored him, whoever is the boss on the scene is clear, as long as I convince Gu Yu, I can finalize everything.

"I don't know what you've encountered in the past, but I've been in such a dangerous situation before I have seen the real baby, and it's the first time I've encountered it. You have also seen the monster corpses in this place, and what is in the underground palace can be imagined. If you want to save your men's lives, listen to me. ”

I said in a deep voice.

"You say it, come and hear it. ”

Gu Yu finally spoke.

"I'll be this guinea pig, as long as you can spare my brother, I can find a way for you, even if I only have one life, but at least I can help you prevent a disaster, what do you think?"

My words made Gu Yu show a shocked face, and the beads behind him, Luo Qiong, and their faces also changed in an instant.

"Xiaoshan, what the fuck are you talking about!"

The fat man had already scolded, but I ignored him, still looked at Gu Yu and said: "I'm here to explore the way for you, don't embarrass my brothers, just treat it as a deal, or maybe I repay you for saving your life just now, how about it?"

Gu Yu didn't say anything right away, I was a little nervous, panting slightly, and didn't say a word more. After a while, Gu Yu took back the knife around my neck, and then said, "I originally thought you were just a gangster, but you still have some guts. Okay, I promise you. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and raised my hand to smoke, but I saw that the cigarette butt in my hand had long been extinguished, and I didn't even react.

"We rested in place to replenish our water and energy. Half an hour later we set off and entered the iron gate. ”

Gu Yu put away the mountain knife and shouted. Diane and Wei Changping put away their weapons at this time, and we separated from each other and sat in the bone passage. Zhuzi took out two water bottles and a few steamed buns from his backpack and handed them over, and the fat man sat down next to me with a cigarette and whispered, "What do you think?

I shook my head while drinking water, then wiped my mouth and said, "Don't worry, I know what to expect." ”

In fact, this is a lie to the fat man, I am a fucking plan at all, and I don't have any ideas in my head about what to do later. But in order to prevent the fat man from asking any more, I simply coped with it.

The fat man didn't say much, he and I have been brothers for many years, and he knew my temper very well in his heart. I was chewing on steamed buns while thinking about my thoughts, when Shen Mengtian walked over from the side, stood beside me and whispered, "Thank you for saving me." ”

I looked up at her, it was so dark that I couldn't see the expression on her face, and I smiled and said, "Fight each other, just take care of each other." ”

"Well, I have something to tell you. Shen Mengtian slowly squatted down, leaned against me, and then leaned into my ear and said, "I like history and archaeology, and I wanted to apply for the archaeology major before I went to normal school, but then my parents didn't agree to me going on business trips, so I had to stay in Shanghai." This Xuanming Temple is a Qing Dynasty building and should have been built 300 years ago. ”

I didn't really care about what she said, because it was all we already knew, and in fact, at that time, I didn't think much of intellectuals who liked to burrow into the sea of books but didn't have the courage to run around. It is useless to be a scholar, and I used to use this sentence to sour those who read.

Hearing Shen Mengtian's words, I shook my head disappetively and said with a smile: "We all know this. ”

"Oh, actually, I want to say that I observed the architectural style of the whole palace after following you into the iron gate just now, and it feels very strange. When I heard this, I seemed to sense the point of her words.

"You also have a study of architectural styles?"

I asked curiously.

"Ancient architecture is part of archaeology and one of the topics I have to study. The architectural style of Xuanming Temple is consistent with most temples built in the Qing Dynasty, with a sloped flat roof, but when I saw the palace inside, the style was completely different. I observed the architectural style of the palace just below. It is in the shape of a pagoda, divided into three floors at the top and bottom, and the top is hexagonal, of course, this architectural style is not unusual. But what is special is the buildings in front of the palace, which resemble upside-down gourds. This architectural style is not our Han nationality or the architectural system of the Central Plains. ”

Shen Mengtian said a little twisted, I understood after sorting out my thoughts, the meaning she expressed was simply that the Xuanming Temple on the ground was built in the Qing Dynasty, but the palace under the Xuanming Temple is not a building in the Central Plains.

"Well, and then what?"

I asked, still a little disapprovingly.

"I think it's probably the architectural style of Yunnan. Shen Mengtian's words seemed to be a bit to the point.

I frowned and asked, "From Yunnan?"

"Yes, I went to Dali, Yunnan a few years ago, and I have seen the palace in Dali, and the style is similar to this. But much more lavish than here, the palace looks more like it has been abandoned. If there are generally three floors, then the space of each floor is relatively large. That's all I can help you, tell you what I know, thank you for saving me......"

After Shen Mengtian finished speaking, she walked away silently, her words didn't have any effect on me at first glance. But after careful analysis, it will be found that there is still some truth, first, the underground palace and the Xuanming Temple may not have been built at the same time. Just imagine why buildings built at the same time would change to a different style. Second, she mentioned Yunnan, according to the information given by Zhu Zi before, the dwarf monster we saw last time should be a corpse witch, so it can be roughly determined that this stronghold of Zhongtianmen is a certain witch Gu sect in Yunnan. Third, it is Shen Mengtian who mentioned the word abandonment, if there is a condition, maybe you can find out the origin of this underground palace by checking the county records and other things that have been preserved nearby.

I drank my water, got up and walked over to the beads. Li Dunzhu seemed a little embarrassed to see me, and after I sat down, he said, "Brother Zhuzi, why are you so late?"

Zhu Zi was stunned for a moment, took a puff of cigarette, glanced back at Gu Yu and them behind him, and whispered: "It's not that I don't want to let you out, it's what Gu Yu meant." He wants you to be cannon fodder for pathfinders, and if we don't open the door, you won't be able to find a mechanism inside. Then you will have to find a way out, and you will become the ones who help us find the way. ”

I'm not surprised at all, I've thought of this before.

"There is one more thing to ask, about Yunnan, is there a school of Zhongtianmen?"

I asked in a low voice.

"There is not much information about Zhongtianmen in Yunnan, but because it is not a separate school, there are many sects involved in it. On the Yunnan side, there have been some branches of the Motan Sect that have joined the Zhongtianmen, the Daba Sect has also been, and there are even monks who wander in Yunnan. When it comes to the Dead Witch, I think about it......"

Zhuzi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Sheep!"

"What sheep?"

I asked curiously.

"It's the sheep, I've heard his story before, and he's not a particularly famous man, but he's a well-known corpse witch. Moreover, he is from Dali, Yunnan!"

Clues seem to be sprouting. “
