Chapter Ninety-Nine

The surface of the stone bridge that has just risen from the water is slippery and sticky, and it slips out step by step. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yaoxiang squirmed at the end of the group, and he was about to cry, "This is a bridge!" It's even harder than an ice rink! "At least it won't fall in the skating rink and fall directly into the locust pit that can kill people!

Tan Xixi had already walked to the opposite side, looked back, and found that everyone had already passed, leaving Yaoxiang alone who was still struggling in the middle of the bridge.

sighed, walked back again, and grabbed him, "Relax and follow me, don't be so tight in your whole body muscles, people are too stiff and easy to slip." ”

Yaoxiang suddenly had a backbone, "Hey! Got it. ”

After Tan Xixi led Yaoxiang to the opposite side by the hand like a child, James ordered the two men who came first to take a closer look around, and the rest rested in place for five minutes.

Tan Xixi said to Yaoxiang, "It's not that you are alone with weak legs, they are also nervous when they cross this bridge, otherwise James would not have let everyone rest in place for five minutes." ”

Yaoxiang knew that she was comforting herself, and was immediately moved again, holding Tan Xixi's hand and not letting go, Tan Xixi's left palm was burned because of the torch last night, and it was still wrapped in dense layers of gauze, Yaoxiang was even more moved when he touched the rough texture of the gauze, and sniffled, "Xixi, you are so good to me, I am going to be moved to death!" ”

Tan Xixi was turning his head to stare at the entrance of the ancient city, with no expression on his face, only said lightly, "Don't think too much, I haven't had any friends all the time, and I finally have one to take care of." ”

Yaoxiang was relieved, "Oh. Then he remembered, "Xixi, why don't you have any friends, isn't that one named Chen or something, I remember that you used to hang out with her and some of your old classmates." ”

Tan Xixi's eyes were still staring at the entrance of the ancient city not far away, and he didn't know what he was studying, so he responded absentmindedly, "Huh? Chen: What's who? ”

Yaoxiang was stunned for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be, before coming to Cambodia, I heard Tan Xixi talk about going shopping and watching movies with her two friends, and by the way, she found a very good hot pot restaurant, and strongly recommended it to herself and Sally, how long has it been, how can she forget!

As soon as Qin Kun pulled Yaoxiang, Yaoxiang turned around, only to see a trace of melancholy flashing on Qin Kun's face, shaking his head slightly at him, signaling him not to ask again.

Yaoxiang was puzzled and winked at Qin Kun.

Qin Kun made a lip shape "Pa Hua".

Yaoxiang immediately understood that Tan Xixi's current state is very Pahua Devi, what she just said must be that Pahua Dewei has never had any real friends and not Tan Xixi.

Qin Kun was always a little worried that Tan Xixi would have shown too many of the characteristics of Pahua Devi, but Yaoxiang was happy to see it happen - if it weren't for Pahua Devi, Tan Xixi would not be so powerful.

However, Qin Kun didn't approve of him asking more, so he kept his mouth shut.

just took advantage of Tan Xixi's inattention to quietly come and say to Qin Kun, "Isn't she very friendly with that Luo Zhou organized by Romus, how can she say that she has no friends?" ”

Qin Kun shook his head, "I don't know, maybe the relationship between those of them is too complicated to be measured by pure friendship." ”

Since he could only stay in the ancient city for one hour, James didn't dare to let everyone rest hard, and as soon as the five minutes passed, everyone shouted, "Let's go!" Let's go! ”

The road into the city is also paved with stones, wide and smooth, leading straight into a gate guarded by two rows of tall stone carvings, the stone carvings are ancient and vivid, with a human head and a fish body, a human head and a large peng, a lion-headed human body, a wild boar wearing war armor, a dwarf, a god with an axe, and finally a fairy wearing a flower ornament, dignified and beautiful.

James asked, "What are these things?" After asking, I remembered that Professor Lin, an expert who studied these things, did not follow him, and now there was only Tan Xixi next to him.

Fortunately, Tan Xixi also replied, "This should be the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the ancient Khmer people believed in Lord Vishnu, so they used his incarnation to guard the city, and the last one should be the goddess who served Lord Vishnu." ”

James shrugged, not very interested, and looked up again, but was startled and let out a soft "pout".

The people here seem to have had a special love for human smiles since ancient times, and I saw a huge stone statue directly above the city gate, with the face of the head slightly facing down, smiling and looking down on everyone who entered the ancient city.

If it was just a huge head smiling, it wouldn't make James scream, but the smile on that face was too strange, although he was smiling, but the smile was eerie, as if death was welcoming the people into Hades.

Not only did James feel visually impacted, but the rest of the people also had a lot of surprises.

Qin Kun, Yaoxiang followed the group at the end as usual, Yaoxiang looked up at the huge smile and shivered, and said softly, "Is this also a Khmer smile, why is it different from what I saw in Bayon Temple?" As he spoke, he touched his arm, as if he was afraid of being heard by the huge head above his head, and lowered his voice very low, and whispered, "I get goosebumps when I see this smile!" ”

Qin Kun responded to him in a low voice, "It's different, the smile of the Erawan Buddha in Bayon Temple is very serene, it is a veritable Khmer smile, and the smile of this stone statue is more intimidating." ”

His description is actually very subtle, although the portrait is smiling, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of anger, and his face is vicious, but people have to admit that this is a smile, and the expression is very strange.

After entering the stone city, the road gradually narrows, there are various stone buildings on both sides of the road, the searchlight can be seen that most of the buildings are decorated with exquisite reliefs outside, high and low, jagged standing, there are many pagodas, temples and temples, the layout is very similar to the ancient city of Angkor.

It's just that the ancient city of Angkor is on the ground, the blue sky and white clouds, and the ancient buildings hidden in the reckless jungle give people a shocking beauty, and similar buildings are buried deep in the dark underground, and the light of the searchlight can only shine on a limited part, and there are dark shadows all around.

After walking for a while, someone picked up an empty water bottle, which was what Professor Lin had left behind, James's face lit up, and he shouted, "Go this way, hurry up!" ”

It's a pity that there will be no clues if he goes any further, James looks at the time and gradually becomes agitated, "It's been half an hour, and you have to go back in another five minutes." ”

He is the boss here, and the only person who can let him consult with him after Professor Lin is Tan Xixi, although his words are not interrogative sentences, he is also asking Tan Xixi's opinion, and after waiting for a while, Tan Xixi did not answer, turned his head and asked, "Miss Tan-?" ”

But he disappeared the figure of Tan Xixi, who had been walking behind him, and was shocked, raised his voice and asked, "Where is Miss Tan?" ”

The people who followed behind were all trying to look around while moving forward cautiously, wanting to find a little more trace of Professor Lin and them, and when they heard James suddenly ask Miss Tan, they were all ignorant, thinking to themselves, Isn't she always next to you?

Seeing the expressions of these people behind him, James was even more anxious, and asked, "What about her?" Who saw it? ”

There is no one Professor Lin anymore, and if there is no Tan Xixi, their group will have a hard time in this ancient monument.

As soon as James's words fell, there were several exclamations in the team, "Oh my God! Gu Laosi is gone! "Where's Sam, where did Sam go?" "The bald brothers are gone!"

…………

Yaoxiang bit his fingers, his voice trembling, "Kun-Kun-Kun-Brother, we have two fewer people!" ”

Qin Kun had already quickly passed him and walked quickly towards James.

The remaining two bodyguards were the two with the best endurance when they were chased by the poisonous miasma the night before, and the two stepped forward and sandwiched Yaoxiang between them one left and one right.

Yaoxiang asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?" ”

The two of them also showed frightened looks, but they were finally a little calmer than Yaoxiang, at least they weren't trembling, "Mr. Qin told us to be sure to follow you, as long as the three of us can go out together, our remuneration will be doubled when we go back." ”

Yaoxiang knew that Qin Kun's remuneration to these people was almost ridiculously high, so they could not be surprised along the way, they only did their own things and remained silent about everything, and now when they heard that such a high remuneration would be doubled, they immediately felt pain for Qin Kun, and they were slightly distracted, but they were not as trembling as they were just now.

hurriedly followed Qin Kun.

Qin Kun was arguing with James and asked to act in groups, dividing the rest of the people into groups to find those companions who suddenly disappeared.

James frowned, "Group action is efficient, but it is more unsafe when there are too few people when there is danger!" ”

Qin Kun, "A few groups of people don't need to be dispersed too much, just search near the section of the road they came from just now, and if any team has something, they will blow the liaison whistle to summon everyone over." ”

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse and worse, James knew that he didn't have time to hesitate, so he agreed to it, but improved Qin Kun's proposal, "You can't divide into four groups, the rest of the people are only enough to be divided into three groups, all of them are going back in the direction of going back, don't look back, no matter whether you find anyone or not, you have to meet at the place where you cross the stone bridge in half an hour." ”

…………

Qin Kun was anxious in his heart, he was afraid that Tan Xixi would be in danger if he was involved in this matter, so he worked hard to follow all the way, but he still lost the person!

Or in such a dangerous and terrifying place!

Even if he was naturally calm and always calm, he had the urge to go crazy at this time. Clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths, sucked in the smell of death described by Yaoxiang, forcibly calmed himself down, and led Yaoxiang and the remaining two bodyguards on his side, as well as the five or six people assigned to him by James, to walk back along the road he came from first.

Yaoxiang was in a similar mood to him, and he was so anxious that he wanted to go crazy! However, because of this, a lot of fear was offset, and the action was much more swift and decisive than just from the beginning.

Took the searchlight from the person behind him, "I'm coming!" ”

The man was holding up his hands so hard that he was glad to give them to him.

Everything along the way is exactly the same as when you first walked by, and there is nothing wrong with it, perhaps it has been like this since the stone city sank into the ground thousands of years ago, and it has not changed.

Because they walked fast, they were back at the gate with the huge head in less than half an hour.

Qin Kun's face was solemn, and he took the searchlight in Yaoxiang's hand, "The bridge is about to fall back into the water, you go over first, wait on the other side, and I'll go back and take a look." ”

Yaoxiang grabbed him, "No! Brother Kun, there's no time to go in again! ”

Qin Kun looked at his watch, "There are still ten minutes, I won't go far, just take a look around here." ”

Yaoxiang didn't let him go, "That's not good, you're too dangerous alone!" I'll go with you! ”

A few more rays of searchlights appeared, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and James and his group also hurried out, shouting from afar, "Don't look around, we met Ava on the way." ”

Qin Kun and the others immediately widened their eyes, only to see that James was followed by a sturdy young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was Ava.

Ava is the local guide for their trip, and his full name seems to be Wallarilo or something, and everyone calls him Ava whenever they want to.

Ava had come down with Professor Lin before, and he was already among the missing persons, but he didn't want to suddenly appear again.

Yaoxiang was suddenly pleasantly surprised, since the people who disappeared before could appear, the next batch of missing people should also be found, "Ava, tell me what the hell is going on?" What about them? ”

Ava grinned very honestly, "You don't know, it's dangerous, but they're okay for the time being, I'm just here to find you to rescue." ”

Yaoxiang immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Go!" ”

was stopped by James, "Don't worry, wait for that team to come, and then divide half of the people to go out first, leaving half to go to the rescue with Ava." ”

Qin Kun was not as surprised as Yaoxiang, he stepped back a little, stood in a place where the light of the searchlight could not be hit, and looked at Ava carefully under the cover of darkness, Ava saw that everything was normal, except for the clothes on his body were a little scattered, there was nothing wrong, but if you looked closely, you could find that the expression on his face was slightly stiff, his eyes were a little straight, Qin Kun's eyes were good, and he could even see his slightly divergent pupils.

Qin Kun felt that his palms were full of cold sweat, and Ava's appearance was a very typical symptom after being hypnotized.
