Chapter 42: The Exchange of Secrets
I moved out of the stone trough and looked around a few times: "This is the Shark King's Palace." ”
I pointed to the stone pillars up and down the stone caves in the distance and said, "Legend has it that the lonely mountain is supported in the water by twelve pillars, and the place where it is supported is the palace of the shark king. You see, there are exactly twelve stone pillars here. Moreover, each pillar carries four mackerel oil lamps that are said to burn for thousands of years. It means that this should be the Shark Palace. ”
Ye Xun asked, "You're not right, right? Shouldn't the legendary Shark King's Palace be under the water? Besides, the shark oil lamp usually appears in the ancient tomb. I think it's like an ancient tomb. ”
"There is always a gap between legend and reality. I shook my head and said, "If this is an ancient tomb, why is there not a single burial item except for such an empty hall, and there is no coffin......?"
I pointed deeper into the hall and said, "The ground here is not on a horizontal line, but gradually rising in that direction, and at first glance it will give the illusion of a pilgrimage, which means that it should be the place where the supreme ruler is located." The tomb does not need this design, and the coffin is not placed on the edge of the mausoleum, but should be placed in the center of the mausoleum. ”
Ye Xun nodded and turned to the stone trough we came out, which happened to be on a pillar used to support the Shark King's Palace: "Wang Huan, come over and see, does this thing look like an elevator?"
It was only after I walked over that I realized that the stone trough that had brought us down was actually a bronze box placed in the middle of a pillar, and its function was to bring people up and down the altar. I didn't get a good idea of the box because the light in the altar was too dim just now, but now it does smell like a modern elevator.
I couldn't help but say to myself: "Under the altar is the Shark King's Palace, what the hell is the wizard of the ancient Dian Kingdom?"
"I'd like to know that too. Dong Xiaowei's voice suddenly came from behind me.
When I heard a voice coming from behind me, I couldn't help but feel a stirring and suddenly looked back. Dong Xiaowei and seven or eight of his men surrounded us from a distance.
They fell into the Shark King's Palace from a few other pillars, but Ye Xun and I didn't notice it at all, 0. The other party's guns are already aimed at the vital points of me and Ye Xun, and even if we want to resist, it will be too late.
I looked at the triumphant Dong Xiaowei: "Old classmate, you are really fast with you." ”
Dong Xiaowei said with a smile: "If you don't keep up, how can I be worthy of the calculations of my old classmates?
I said quietly: "If the sacrificial hall can't keep you, it doesn't mean that you can still leave the Shark King's Palace. ”
"Fuck you!" One of Dong Xiaowei's subordinates raised his gun and pointed it at me, and I also looked at the other party's muzzle coldly.
Dong Xiaowei said lightly: "Put the gun down for me." ”
The man said urgently, "Miss, they killed so many of our brothers......"
Dong Xiaowei said in a deep voice: "Who is here to say?"
The man quickly put down his gun and stood to the side sweating: "Miss, I was wrong. ”
Dong Xiaowei didn't even look at the other party, turned to me and said, "You and I are both new to the Shark King Palace, so I don't believe that you can leave me here." But ......"
Dong Xiaowei changed his words and said: "This Shark King Palace gives me a pretty bad feeling. Before we go out, I hope we can cooperate with each other, and it is not too late for us to settle our grievances when we get out of the lonely mountain. What do you think?"
This time, I don't doubt Dong Xiaowei's sincerity. She now has an absolute advantage, but she has taken the initiative to cooperate and has shown the greatest sincerity.
I also knew that working with her was like working with the tiger, but if I shook my head, I would probably die immediately. It is in my interest to cooperate temporarily.
After I slowly raised my right hand, Dong Xiaowei also came up and slapped me three times in a row: "Now it's time for you to lead the way." ”
I looked around the Shark Palace a few times before pointing to the place where I thought the throne was: "Go over there, spread out, but don't get too far away." ”
Dong Xiaowei waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately dispersed the formation, surrounding the three of us in the middle. The three of us stayed about a meter apart from each other and walked together in the direction of the throne.
Dong Xiaowei said as he walked: "Wang Huan, what I want to ask you is, are you so sure that after putting the giant python up, you can escape smoothly?"
I replied lightly: "Isn't it gambling on your life to go to the rivers and lakes? It's better to gamble on your luck than to be killed by you directly." ”
I didn't say that, but my dad accidentally mentioned it. He told me that people who go to the rivers and lakes have gambling in their bones, and the difference lies in the size of the gambling nature, some people dare to start if they are three points sure, and some people don't even answer the word if they are less than seven points sure.
At the time, I thought he was talking about antiques, but now that I think about the background of what he said at that time, I realized that he was talking about the real rivers and lakes.
Dong Xiaowei picked his thumb and said, "Yes, your gambling hand is very beautiful." If Ye Xun delays with me for a while, the person who dies will definitely be you. ”
When I quietly looked at Ye Xun, the latter only nodded slightly.
I didn't move on the surface, but my heart sank slightly. Ye Xun's meaning was very obvious, he admitted that he was not Dong Xiaowei's opponent.
Dong Xiaowei was able to negotiate with me calmly at that time, which showed that she had the upper hand. I guess Ye Xun also felt that he was gradually losing his heart, so he took my words of threatening Dong Xiaowei seriously, and suddenly killed Dong Xiaowei's subordinates. We were able to rush down from above this time, at least more than half of which meant that it was crooked.
But the more this happened, the more I felt bottomless. Ye Xun is the best person I have ever seen, he will be easily suppressed by Dong Xiaowei, I am afraid that Ye Xun and I are not Dong Xiaowei's opponents, besides, she still has so many subordinates to help.
Dong Xiaowei said: "You and I have been classmates for so many years, I only know that you are very smart and have a strong ability to analyze things, but I didn't expect that your ability to adapt on the spot is also so good." ”
I said calmly: "Four years classmate, I haven't been able to understand you, how can you fully understand me?"
"That's right. Dong Xiaowei sighed inadvertently and said, "Disciple of the Divine Sect, until the last moment, no one can see through his true identity. I did think of you as a classmate all the time, and suddenly I became an enemy of you, and I really didn't feel comfortable. ”
I said coldly, "The dead people weren't your classmates, and when you killed them, I didn't see the slightest hint of discomfort on your part." ”
Dong Xiaowei smiled: "I'll tell you now, if you weren't a disciple of the Divine Sect, I would let you go, do you believe it?"
When I looked at Dong Xiaowei in a daze, the bitterness in the latter's eyes also flashed: "Since we were in distress at Fuxian Lake, which of our classmates is really willing to sacrifice their lives to save the weak? Except for you, none of them." ”
"They don't want to save me, so why should I be kind to them? Just because we've been together for four years? Don't be funny! Even if I've been with them for forty years, their choice between life and death will wipe out all the feelings I have for them in a matter of seconds. ”
Dong Xiaowei said as a matter of course: "That fragile feeling is gone, and I will naturally have no scruples if I kill again." Are you right?"
I didn't know how to answer Dong Xiaowei's question for a while.
I also thought about killing someone when I was pushed off the boat by my classmates, but that was after they tried to kill me. Dong Xiaowei had already attacked my classmates before that.
Dong Xiaowei is either a person who sees people's hearts very thoroughly and can see the essence of the other party in a short moment, or he is a person who is very emotionally extreme and cannot tolerate the slightest flaw.
However, it doesn't matter who she is, one of the two of us is destined to be left in Fuxian Lake forever.
I digressed the topic and said, "You came to Fuxian Lake, in addition to killing me, what is your other goal?"
Dong Xiaowei smiled and said, "Aren't our goals the same?"
"Inconsistent!" After I said these three words, Dong Xiaowei was stunned: "What did you say?"
No matter how much I explain now that I have nothing to do with the Divine Gate, Dong Xiaowei will not believe it. However, I really want to know Dong Xiaowei's secret. That's the only thing I can use to contain Dong Xiaowei, as long as I take this secret first, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.
But if I want to use Dong Xiaowei's words, I have to make up a different reason from her. My mind spun around a few times before I said, "I'm here to Fuxian Lake purely for tourism, and I have another goal for my entry assessment." I can tell you bluntly that my assessment target is in the Northeast. It was because I felt that this assessment was a life-or-death experience, so I wanted to have a good time with my classmates for a few days before the mission. ”
Dong Xiaowei said as if talking to himself: "No wonder you came to Fuxian Lake without any equipment." Am I mistaken?"
Dong Xiaowei suddenly raised his head and said, "Tell me what your entry assessment is, if I think what you said is right, I will tell you the purpose of my coming to Fuxian Lake." ”
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "My goal is to enter the Shamanic Mountain and find the secret of the sudden disappearance of one of the branches of Shamanism. ”
I originally made up the things that the mission target was in the Northeast, and the only mysterious events I could think of in a short period of time related to the Northeast were the shamans who were silently searching in the Northeast.
What I didn't expect was that Dong Xiaowei actually nodded and said, "Although this task is a little more difficult, it is suitable for you to do." Taking the ancient city of Fuxian Lake as a target is a bit difficult for you. ”
Dong Xiaowei believes it?
I said in a deep voice, "Is it time to change you?"
