Chapter 141: Five Elements Shengke
Huang Xie walked into the hospital, but was stunned on the spot.
The special forces of Zhao State, dressed as entourage, were roasting snake meat in the courtyard to eat, and many peeling snake skins were thrown on the ground next to them.
A man covered in bandages was tied to a tree, with strips of cloth in his mouth and eyes mixed with anger and timidity.
Li Mu and Jing Hammer, under Chen Zheng's beckoning, tied Wang Shuzilan to another tree.
"You, what are you...?" Huang Xie asked in a trembling voice with a frightened look on his face.
"Hahahaha!" Chen Zheng laughed and said, "Chun Shenjun doesn't need to panic. Then he pointed to the special forces of Zhao who were feasting: "They have been imprisoned by Uncle Wang for a while, and they have just escaped from prison, and they are just hungry." Who let Uncle Wang have so much delicious food here?! ”
"Then why are you tied up here?"
"Chun Shenjun misunderstood. Zigao Gongzi was recuperating in the post house at this time, this is the little son of General Jingyang. In order for me to leave Chu safely tomorrow, I have to wronged him for the time being. Hahahaha! Chen Zheng laughed with a relaxed face.
The more Huang Xie listened, the more confused he became, he looked at Zilan tied to the tree, and blamed: "Brother Lu, since Uncle Wang has already agreed to buy grain, why do you have to do this?" ”
Chen Zheng was just about to speak, but Zou Yan on the side smiled and said: "Uncle Wang's status is precious, and now he is covered in injuries, so naturally he can't do this." Then he motioned to Li Mu: "It's better to carry Uncle Wang into the room." ”
Li Mu glanced at Chen Zheng, who was silent, and then untied the rope tied to Zilan with Jing Hammer, and carried the still unconscious Uncle Wang in.
"Chun Shenjun, please." Chen Zheng stretched out his hand and motioned for Huang Xie to walk to a corner of the courtyard.
When Huang Xie saw the dozens of Chu soldiers in the ground cage in the courtyard, his face was immediately frightened. After Chen Zheng whispered in Huang Xie's ear, Huang Xie's face was already like white ash.
"There is such a thing! This, how can this be good? Huang Xie was out of idea for a while, and sweat oozed from his forehead.
Chen Zheng said indifferently: "Chun Shenjun should make up his mind early, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”
Huang Xie looked at the special forces of the Zhao State in the courtyard, and then at the soldiers of the Chu State in the cage, and a cold light flashed from his eyes.
"Chunshen-kun, don't want to beat me and wait." Chen Zheng noticed something unusual, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is the matter of your Chu State, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere." In my opinion, it is better to hide this matter from the king of Chu, lest the Chu country cause trouble and set off a bloody storm. ”
Zou Yan said: "Brother Lu is reasonable. In the old man's opinion, Uncle Wang is the culprit, and these people are still lenient. ”
Huang Xie lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and slowly raised his head: "The two of you will wait here for a while, and the old man will come when he goes." After saying that, he arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Looking at the back of Huang Xie leaving, Chen Zheng looked at Zou Yan reluctantly: "I'm going to leave here tomorrow, I don't know what Mr. Zou Zi's plans are?" ”
Zou Yan smiled: "Now that Qin Guobing Feng is pointing out, I am afraid that the city of Handan will be a mountain of bones and a river of blood." At this time, Brother Lu traveled thousands of miles for the people of Handan City, and he had already avoided it because of others, where would he have such courage as his brother. Zhao Guocun, then the six countries of the Kanto region are also saved. If Zhao died, the six countries of Kanto also died. Now although Zhao Guo has Lian Po, but Zhao Wang and Pingyuan Jun are mediocre people, if you and I help each other, just a five doctors and kings of Qin State, how dare you be greedy to destroy Zhao's merits! ”
"Oh~?! Could it be that the gentleman intends to go to Zhao with me? ”
"Huh!" Zou Yan touched his beard with one hand and smiled: "Isn't my brother welcome?!" ”
"Where, where!" Chen Zheng suddenly became excited: "With Mr. to help, it is really a blessing for the people of Handan." If there is wine at this time, you must drink a few large bowls with your husband. ”
At this time, Li Mu walked over with two pieces of roasted snake meat and reached out to hand them to Chen Zheng and Zou Yan.
Zou Yan stretched out his hand to take it, looked at Chen Zheng who was hesitant and smiled: "My brother just boasted to Chun Shenjun that this is a delicacy in the world, but he is afraid of it?!" Hahahaha! Then he began to eat.
Li Mu handed the snake meat to Chen Zheng, and said with a look of affirmation: "Big brother, just rest assured, the poison on this snake has been removed." ”
Chen Zheng tried to taste it, it was indeed tender and delicious, and then beckoned Li Mu to send some to Xu Fu outside the door.
"Mr. Zou Zi, dare to ask the flute playing spell, can you teach one or two?" Chen Zheng asked inadvertently.
Zou Yan smiled: "My brother now has a cadre Mo Xie to protect himself, how can he still use the old man's insect carving skills." ”
General Chen Zheng took Mo Ye out of his waist and stretched out his hand to Zou Yan: "If Mr. doesn't dislike it, I will exchange this pair of divine swords for that piccolo, as long as Mr. teaches me how to play, okay?" ”
"Huh! Since the elder brother has a fate with this pair of divine swords, and it is a gift from the king of Chu, how dare the old man take the love of others? ! Don't forget, brother, the old man's method of playing the flute has some effect on those superficial people who are scattered, but it is powerless for those scheming and sinister people, where can it be compared with the divine sword in the hands of the elder brother. Zou Yan suddenly pointed behind Chen Zheng: "I don't know what happened to that brother?" ”
Chen Zheng looked back, but saw Jing Hammer standing in front of the little boy in Jingyang, I don't know what he was doing, and the special forces of Zhao State were pointing and pointing, talking and laughing around on both sides.
I saw that the hammer took out the strip of cloth from Xiaojing's mouth, and the other party just said the word "I", and the strip of cloth was stuffed back again.
"I..."
"I..."
"I..."
……
The strip of cloth tossed back and forth in Jing Gongzi's mouth, and every time he said the word "I", there was no follow-up.
"I..."
"My dad..."
"My dad is..."
"My dad is Jing..."
"My dad is Jingyang..."
The hammer stuffed the strips of cloth in Xiao Jing's mouth, and teased: "You, your father, your father is, it's not easy for your father to be who he is, do you know?!" Don't think that your father can fool us by wrapping these rags around you, I'll give you a little color today, and let our brothers leave a souvenir for your boy. As he spoke, he drew his sword and gestured.
Xiao Jing's eyes burst into tears, but his mouth was stuffed tightly, and his legs were already soaked.
Chen Zheng put the male and female swords into his waist and walked over quickly.
Under Chen Zheng's order, the hammer went in to guard Zilan, and the special forces of Zhao State also dispersed in a hurry.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a hammer in the courtyard, and it turned out that Uncle Wang Zilan, who was carried into the house, was missing.
Chen Zheng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to check it out.
Li Mu also rushed to the front and led the special forces of Zhao Guo to search inside and outside the house, but found nothing.
Chen Zheng, who was very anxious, suddenly saw Zou Yan looking at him calmly in the courtyard, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Sir, do you know where Zilan is?" ”
Zou Yan seemed to point to the towering courtyard walls around him casually, and said with a smile: "Since Uncle Wang can't go to the sky, can't he still enter the earth?" ”
Li Mu seemed to have realized something after hearing this, and waved his hand to the special forces of Zhao State to rush into the house, and he was sure to search every crack in the wall carefully.
Sure enough, I noticed something unusual in the main seat of the house.
When Chen Zheng squatted on the ground to look, he saw that the edge of a piece of floor at the main seat had traces of wear, and he tapped it with his fingers, and there was a "dong dong" sound.
The hammer drew his saber and pryed the blade through the gap, but the floor did not move.
Chen Zheng was just about to pull out the male and female swords, Li Mu suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait! ”
When everyone was puzzled, they saw Li Mu groping on the floor for a moment, and then pressed a piece of floor, and the whole floor suddenly opened inward, and a two-meter-square deep hole came into view.
The hammer may have been the first to jump in with the idea of atonement.
Immediately after, there were several "boom" sounds inside.
"Oh, why is it so dark?!"
Li Mu beckoned the special forces of Zhao State to fetch torches from the courtyard and jumped into the cave one after another.
Chen Zheng was worried that Li Mu would encounter something unexpected in the cave, so he turned to Zou Yan and said, "Mr. Zou Zi, wait here." With that, he disappeared into the dark hole in the floor.
The space in the cave was very embarrassing, under the reflection of the torches, Chen Zheng and the others groped forward along a narrow road, but the more they walked, the lower the terrain, the more slippery the ground and the walls on both sides, and a cold air could not help but make people shiver.
Descending a row of stone steps, an open space is presented to everyone.
In this large underground stone chamber, the walls are blazing with flames, and the stone bricks on the ground are dotted with the words "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" engraved with seal characters. Directly in front of the stone chamber, a stone door was tightly closed.
Chen Zheng vaguely felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar?
The hammer took care of a lot, stepped on the stone bricks, and was about to rush forward.
As soon as the hammer took a few steps, a stone brick under his feet suddenly protruded, and several arrows suddenly shot out from the holes scattered on the walls on both sides. A few arrows burst into the wall and then fell to the ground with great reluctance.
At this time, the hammer squatted pale on the stone brick engraved with the word "water", and remained still.
Li Mu and Zhao Guo's special forces were all nervous, although they were eager to try, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Chen Zheng was worried that if Zilan was out of control at this time, let alone food, everyone's life safety would be questioned.
"Hurry up and invite Mr. Zou Zi here!" Chen Zheng suddenly remembered that there was a worldly master on the ground.
A moment later, Li Mu led Zou Yan into the stone room.
After observing the scene, Zou Yan praised one after another: "Chu State is really a place where skilled craftsmen come out in large numbers. I don't know who used the old man's five elements to create such a clever place. ”
Chen Zheng urged: "Sir, let's talk about the method of cracking in front of you, otherwise if you run away Zilan, our lives will be in danger!" ”
When Zou Yan learned that the word "water" was under the foot of the hammer, he muttered in his mouth: "Gold is born of water, water is born of wood, soil is born of water, water is overcome of fire, eh~, there is!" ”
Li Mu said eagerly: "What is the way to solve it, sir?" ”
Zou Yan smiled unhurriedly: "Since Zilan escaped from here, there must be a person who has stepped through the mystery here. Then he pointed to the hammer: "However, this old brother just now disrupted the order of passing here, and at this time, I am afraid that the two of them must cooperate to pass." ”
"Oh~, isn't that the same as "Ghost Warrior"?!" Chen Zheng couldn't help but blurt out.
"Oni warrior?" Li Mu was stunned when he heard this.
Chen Zheng recalled: "I vaguely remember that the word 'horn' and the word 'fly' were scattered on the ground at that time, and by the way, it seems that there is a word 'king' at the end, and only two people can alternately step on the word 'horn' and the word 'fly' to pass through." ”
"I don't know what the eldest brother is talking about?"
Chen Zheng waved his hand: "This matter is a long story, and I have to start with the battle of Oda Nobunaga's barrel Sasa, and I will talk to you in detail another day." For now, I would like to ask Mr. Zou Zi to teach me how to get through here. ”
Under Zou Yan's guidance, Li Mu stepped on a stone brick engraved with the word "soil", and the stone brick where the hammer was located immediately slowly landed and returned to its original appearance, but the stone brick under Li Mu's feet rose.
Next, the hammer took a step forward as Zou Yan instructed and stepped on a stone brick engraved with the word "wood". After the stone bricks under Li Mu's feet fell, the stone bricks of the hammer immediately rose.
Li Mu stepped forward again and stepped on the stone brick engraved with the word "gold", as before, the stone brick engraved with the word "wood" at the foot of the hammer slowly returned to its original state, and the stone brick under Li Mu's feet stood out.
"Hahahaha! Tu Ke Shui, Mu Ke Tu, Jin Ke Mu, as the old man expected. Zou Yan pointed to a stone brick engraved with the word "fire" in front of the hammer: "Those who gram gold, fire also." ”
Unexpectedly, the feet of the hammer had just settled on the stone bricks engraved with the word "fire", and the "gold" stone bricks under Li Mu's feet had returned to their original state, but the stone bricks with the word "fire" that should have risen under the feet of the hammer were accompanied by a burst of shaking and gradually sunken.
When the hammer sank so that only one head was left on the ground, he suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Help me take care of my seventh uncle!" ”
Zou Yan waved his hand to Li Mu and said, "Wood." ”
Li Mu stepped on a stone brick engraved with the word "wood" in response, and the hammer that had been submerged appeared in front of everyone again.
When the stone bricks with the word "fire" at the feet of the hammer returned to their original state, the stone bricks with the word "wood" under Li Mu's feet began to sink immediately.
Zou Yan instructed the hammer to move to another "water" stone brick, Li Mu's "wood" stone brick returned to the ground, and the hammer's "water" stone brick fell one after another.
Li Mu stepped on a "gold" stone brick according to Zou Yan's instructions, and when the "water" stone brick under the hammer's feet was parallel to the ground, the two jumped to the opposite stone gate.
Zou Yan twisted his beard and chuckled: "Wood makes fire, water gives birth to wood, and gold gives birth to water." If you are grammatic, you will fall, and if you are born, you will rise, and that's it. Hahahaha! ”
According to Zou Yan's principle that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, everyone passed through the mechanism of the stone room one after another and pushed open the stone door opposite.
After a winding passage and up a narrow and slippery stone staircase, the group came to a gap in the wall of the well.
Li Mu, who was walking in the front, leaned over and looked down, and from here down was a pool of dirty well water, and a row of handrails were embedded in the wall of the well leading to the top, and a trace of sunlight faintly transmitted down.
When everyone came to the outside of the well along the handrail on the wall of the well, they saw a slightly dilapidated courtyard.
As far as the eye can see, there is a low courtyard wall around the courtyard, the floor of the courtyard has long been covered with weeds, and a row of houses built of rammed earth, the doors and windows are dilapidated. Outside the wellhead in the middle of the yard was a rotating log with a small dirty barrel hanging from a rope wound around it.
"Zilan deserves to be a cunning rabbit." After Chen Zheng sighed, he hurriedly greeted Li Mu and the others: "Hurry up and search for Zilan's traces!" ”
Chen Zheng's words were still echoing in the courtyard, and the courtyard gate was suddenly opened by someone from the outside, and dozens of Chu soldiers rushed in with halberds in their hands, surrounding everyone in the middle.
Zilan's voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "The old man doesn't have to wait to look for it, so he will send it to the door by himself." Hahahaha! ”
Everyone looked at it, but saw Xu Fu walking in front of Zilan, and a bronze sword in Zilan's hand was on Xu Fu's neck. Behind them were followed by a mummy, wrapped in bandages.
Zilan blinked a pair of black and bright eyelids, and said proudly: "Yes, the old man is indeed a cunning rabbit, but what you didn't expect is that the old man also has a secret door in the courtyard of Fangcai." Just because the old man just ran, oh no, he was in a hurry, and he wanted to go back and take out the human skin mask left there, but unexpectedly, he found the tunnel set up by the old man at all costs. Hahahaha! With Mr. Zou Zi here, wouldn't those organs be child's play?! In this case, the old man doesn't need to go out of the city, so wouldn't it save a lot of trouble waiting for you here. Oh yes, there's General Jingyang's little son, haha, I see if you have any other magic weapons?! ”
Li Mu was about to reach out and pull out the Zhan Lu sword, but Zilan shouted: "Don't move!" I advise you to hand over all your weapons. Otherwise, beware of the old man teaching this kid to splash blood on the spot. Then he looked at Chen Zheng and Zou Yan, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't you hand over the male and female swords and that piccolo?!" ”
