Chapter 5: The Uncontrollable Unknown
The mountaineer known as Mr. Huang stood up and looked around at the people around the bonfire: "There is a stalactite cave down here, there are a lot of bones in the cave, at a glance you know that it is at least a person who died hundreds of years ago, the stalactite cave is very deep, I didn't have much experience at that time, so I stayed at the shallow cave entrance to guard, my other brothers went into the cave to explore, who knew that it was a few days, and finally did not come out, I wanted to find it, but I walked inside, and found the bones there, I knew that something was wrong, so I came back alone, I'm here this time in the hope that I can do something about it, maybe find the remains of my brothers. β
After Mr. Huang finished speaking, one of them shouted, "Hey, then you can't be sure that you can enter Qimen from there?" Judging by the information we have gotten, Qimen is a well! β
Almost everyone here knows that Qimen is a well, and this news was also deliberately leaked by Qian Xiuye, in order to let these fools follow this clue to help him find the real entrance more accurately.
The man stood up again and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Yes, it's a well, but the information we got also roughly knows the location coordinates of the well, I have been to the stalactite cave according to what Mr. Huang said, and found that the extension direction of the stalactite cave is towards the location of Qimen, so I think this is very likely to be another entrance." β
"!" A leaning man stood up, "What if not?" Isn't that a waste of time? Anyway, we know the coordinates, so dig it, and dig it out sooner or later! β
The man sneered: "Dig? Do you know how deep to dig? Under the premise of no large machinery, dig for at least ten days and half a month, when the mountain is opened, the snow melts, the villagers go up the mountain, and if they find out what we are digging, they will definitely call the police, and we will be all finished by then! Moreover, so many people died before, within a week, they have no news, and their families and friends will also call the police, so we only have a week, this one is not okay, in short, I will say this, you go or not, whatever you want! β
After the man finished speaking, he took Mr. Huang and another companion, grabbed the equipment, turned around and walked towards the other side of the mountain stream, and a few minutes after the three left, a few more people got up and followed, and then, the rest of the people couldn't stand it and decided to gamble, and got up one after another to keep up.
When the tarsiers' men heard this, they immediately jumped off the tree, turned and rolled into the bushes, nodded to their companions there, and whispered, "The target is lit." β
Ten minutes later, in the dwelling of the village under the mountain, Qian Xiuye, who heard the news, struggled to get up from the bed, sat up, and carefully touched his half of his bandaged face with his hand: "It is very likely that that is the entrance!" β
Fan Meng handed over the water next to him and asked at the same time, "Master, this kind of thing is not necessarily, right?" β
"No, that's the burial ground, and although the sacrificial well below isn't a tomb, it still has to be repaired." Qian Xiuye slowly stood up and stretched his body, "No matter what kind of craftsman it is, you know that to build such an underground facility, you must leave a breath for yourself, otherwise it will be easy to be sealed underneath, after all, the cast iron immortal does not want to be secretly leaked out, which is the same as the ancient emperor who built a mausoleum will kill those craftsmen." β
Yuan Zhenba echoed beside him: "It makes sense, no matter what, there is not much time, even if those people can't find it, we must go." β
The tarsiers who were standing in the corner listening to the radio raised their eyes at this time and said: "Boss, the hole is not far from the location of the burial place, our car can only go halfway up the mountain, and your body is ......"
Qian Xiuye raised his hand and said: "My body is fine, it doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter, let's not worry, take the car halfway up the mountain first, and wait until dawn to go in." β
The tarsiers nodded: "Understood." β
With that, the people in the house began to pack their things, and Qian Xiuye sat there, began to take painkillers, and then clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down and not get too excited.
When the 13 adventurers came to the entrance of the stalactite cave, Yang Zhengxia, who was standing at the foot of the mountain and observing with night vision binoculars, was staring at them, and at the same time searched around, and finally found the mercenaries under the tarsiers who were slowly touching the rear.
Yang Zhengxia put down the binoculars and said to himself: "It seems that we should be the last to go in, not to be a praying mantis, not to be a yellow finch, but to be a hunter." β
At the same time, in the SUV at the foot of the mountain, Chen Fang, who heard the report of the mercenary and the tarsiers, also took off his headphones and immediately informed Qiguan of the news.
Qiguan pondered for a moment, got out of the car and looked at the sky, and then raised his hand to look at the watch: "Don't worry, let's wait, we must not insert the blank in, we must be the last to enter, otherwise the front and back will be blocked." β
After speaking, Qi Guan looked at Chen Fang again: "Send a message to the torture technique, let him come to the rendezvous quickly, and in addition, tell him to remember not to rush up the mountain!" β
Chen Fang immediately passed the news to Xingshu, who learned the news from the radio, stopped the car and asked Ma Fei in the rear: "Is the sitting mark down?" β
Ma Fei nodded: "Write it down." β
Torture said: "We have to catch up with He Chenxue." β
Ma Fei was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at him: "What do you want to do?" β
"Nothing, don't get me wrong." Xingshu looked at Ma Fei, "I just want to stop her from going up the mountain, at this time, if she goes up the mountain, it will be a dead end." β
Ma Fei didn't say anything, but the torture technique was very clear, and she was unhappy in her heart, because if it was herself, she would be unhappy, cranky, and even think that it was the rest of her feelings.
Even Jiuqi didn't speak, knowing that stopping the torture at this time would only invisibly make the contradiction between him and Ma Fei really break out, so he had to remain silent.
When the torture technique drove the car to the foot of Jiucai Mountain, he only saw He Chenxue's car parked by the river, and there was no one in the car.
Xingshu looked at the path into the mountain: "I shouldn't have gone far." β
Ma Fei grabbed his backpack: "Then it's too late for us to catch up." β
At this time, the torture technique said unexpectedly: "Forget it, I have thought about it, even if I catch up, He Chenxue will not listen to me, on the contrary, it will cause extraneous branches." β
Maffei asked, "Maybe something will happen to her." β
"Probably not." Xingshu looked at the way up the mountain, "Her goal is not to deal with Qian Xiuye, but to kill Fan Meng." β
Ma Fei suddenly thought of something at this time: "Torture, do you think Fan Meng is a great person?" β
Torture stopped: "He's just a piece of waste." β
Lian Jiuqi looked at Ma Fei and knew what Ma Fei was going to say, so he immediately signaled Ma Fei not to say any more, but Ma Fei couldn't see it.
Ma Fei walked to the side of the torture technique: "Since you all know that he is a hypocritical waste, can Qian Xiuye not know?" β
Torture looked sideways at Ma Fei: "What do you want to say?" β
Ma Fei turned to look at Lian Jiuqi: "You ask your father, what was Qian Xiuye set up that set up for?" β
Without waiting for Lian Jiuqi to speak, the torture technique replied first: "In order to involve the Jade Casting Society, it is natural to drag the Heyumen in, so that everything will be logical, and at the same time, it can also cover up the existence of the Cusco Company itself." β
"What else?" Ma Fei asked calmly, "You don't want to say it, let me help you say that the plan at that time also produced an unexpected result, that is, the relationship between He Chenxue and you, when you went to Xiangxi Jiacuo Palace, if it wasn't for you believing in He Chenxue in a daze, would those things have happened?" Will you be calculated by Van Meng? Therefore, Qian Xiuye's purpose of keeping Fan Meng by his side now is also to deal with you at a critical moment. β
Torture nodded, gesturing to move on: "I understand. β
"You don't understand!" Ma Fei stepped forward and directly blocked the front of the torture, "I don't believe that He Chenxue will really kill Fan Meng and avenge her sister!" β
Xingshu frowned: "She will, the relationship between her and her sister is not something we can imagine." β
Lian Jiuqi stepped forward to stop Ma Fei, Ma Fei shook off Lian Jiuqi's hand: "I admit it, I'm jealous now, I'm not happy now, but I also understand what this woman is thinking, okay, I'll ask you from a different angle." β
Torture nodded: "You ask." β
Ma Fei said: "For example, you love me very much, but you and I didn't get together in the end, and then I met your friend, your very good friend, I fell in love with him, and agreed to stay together for life, at that time, what would you do?" Will you stay by my side and him like a fool every day? β
Torture shook his head: "No, I will bless you and keep my distance from you." β
Ma Fei turned his head to look at Lian Jiuqi: "Mr. Lian, what about you?" What would you do? β
Lian Jiuqi sighed: "Of course I will keep my distance. β
"yes, normal people do." Ma Fei looked directly into the eyes of the torture technique, "But He Chenxue didn't do that at that time, she chose to stay by her sister and Fan Meng's side at that time, why did she guard?" Because of love? Yes, it is true that because of love, and because she still has hope in her heart, she carries the hope that Fan Meng will finally choose her, and under this premise, her sister is dead, and for her, the good and the bad are half and half. β
Torture nodded vigorously: "Ma Fei, I know what you mean, I will be careful." β
Ma Fei frowned: "Even if you are careful, your character determines your behavior, this is what you told me before, personality cannot be changed, your character is a weakness in the eyes of Qian Xiuye!" Forget it, it's useless for me to say more, anyway, something happens when it should happen. β
After Ma Fei finished speaking, he took the locator and walked towards Qiguan's location, and the torture technique stood there blankly, watching her back slowly move away.
"Let's go." Lian Jiuqi patted the torture technique on the shoulder, "I think every word Ma Fei just said is right, as for what to do, you can do it yourself." β
Xingshu took a deep breath: "Dad, I'm very tired, after this matter is resolved, I really don't want to get involved in these messy things anymore." β
Lian Jiuqi said with a smile: "I figured it out back then, and finally understood why the master was hiding in the Youfu Hospital, and the reason is the same, I don't want to ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I'm too tired, after this matter is over, let's wash our hands together." β
The father and son walked side by side to the front, imagining their future life, and they didn't even want to open a pawnshop in Jiuqi, but they just wanted to buy a farm yard in the suburbs of Harbin, raise chickens and ducks and grow vegetables, and in winter, they went to the Songhua River to dig ice and fish.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Qiguan's location, and at the same time they were surprised that Qiguan's car could drive through such complicated terrain and come to this depression at the foot of the mountain.
For the first time, the three of them saluted Qiguan according to the rules, and Qiguan just nodded and said directly: "The Guo family is gone, Guo Hongkui and Guo Shiqi are dead." β
In the shock of the three criminals, Qi Guan explained in detail what happened before, and then said: "If I guessed correctly, Guo Hongkui was originally worried that Qian Xiuye would completely destroy Qimen after implementing the final plan, but he was too naΓ―ve, he didn't think that Qian Xiuye's purpose was to find Qimen in the end and explore the true secrets of Qimen. β
After listening to the torture, he really figured out the context of the whole thing, and the Zhangrong Chaser was bent on finding Qimen, and Tang Yuanhua, an eight-armed Arhat who was one of them, was the first to bear the brunt, and he was also the closest to Qimen in later generations, but unfortunately he did not fulfill this wish in the end, but he accepted two disciples with very different personalities, Xing Boqiu and Zhang Molu.
On the surface, Xing Boqiu is kinder than Zhang Molu, has a more innocent background, and is good at martial arts, but his brain is not as bright as Zhang Molu, who was a charlatan in the past.
After the death of Tang Yuanhua, Xing Boqiu returned to Xiaocheng and continued to guard his filial piety, and Zhang Molu embarked on a journey to find Qimen, and finally discovered the location of Qimen because of the coincidence of the earthquake, which was in the burial place of the cast iron fairy, but at the same time, Zhang Molu also found that because Qimen died too many people, Qimen was a scourge at all, in his eyes it was equivalent to the gate of the underworld, once it was opened, there would be continuous disasters, so he went to Xiaocheng and found Xing Boqiu, hoping to work with his senior brother to determine the location of Qimen and completely destroy Qimenand laid out a big situation with Xing Boqiu, so that other cargo chasers in the world will never be able to find Qimen, so that time will dilute the ** generated by Qimen in the hearts of the chasers.
But Zhang Molu didn't expect that Xing Boqiu killed countless innocent people because of protecting filial piety, which led to great guilt in his heart, and finally distorted, he originally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he didn't believe in miracles, he put his hope on the miracles that might exist in Qimen, in a vain attempt to save the people who were killed by himself after getting the miracles, and even came up with the idea of rewriting the rules of life and death in this world.
Xing Boqiu's thoughts, in Zhang Molu's opinion, are extremely stupid, but also quite terrifying, the two of them with completely opposite concepts finally killed each other at the entrance of Qimen, and finally Xing Boqiu, who thought he was smart, still didn't count Zhang Molu and died in Qimen.
Zhang Molu knew that the previous plan could no longer be implemented, so he simply had another plan, returned to Xiaocheng, and with the help of the Guo family, pretended to be Xing Boqiu, cultivated Xing Renju as the implementer of the plan, and instilled his own thoughts in Xing Renju, so that Xing Renju laid a net of heaven and earth, leaving countless clues of mistakes and hidden truths, attracting future generations of cargo chasers to find, and he also knew very well that in the process of searching, most of the chasers would die because of this.
"Two extremes...... "Xing Boqiu and Zhang Molu have gone to two extremes, one is to do stupid things with the help of Qimen's power, and the other is to simply not do two things, with relatively small sacrifices in exchange for long-term stability in the future." β
Bai Zhongzheng on the side said at this time: "But, Xing Boqiu may not be wrong?" What if there were miracles? β
Xing Shu shook his head: "Zhong Zheng, think about it, if Xing Boqiu went to Qimen and found that the miracle did not exist, what would he do?" β
"That's right." Ma Fei interjected, "Why don't Zhang Molu enter the Qimen with him at the beginning, and let Xing Boqiu confirm it with his own eyes, in this way, wouldn't it avoid fratricidal killing?" β
Xingshu still shook his head: "Where is there such a simple, uncertain thing, Zhang Molu will not do it, first of all, if there is no miracle below, the desperate Xing Boqiu will not give up, he will definitely embark on the road to find other similar miracles, that will cause a chain reaction, one Qimen is gone, it will be because he comes out of the second, third or even more Qimen." β
Bai Zhongzheng asked, "Then what if there is a miracle?" β
Lian Jiuqi looked at Bai Zhongzheng: "If there is, then it is even more terrifying, let me ask you, if there is really a miracle below, you have the power to bring the dead back to life, will you bring Guo Hongkui and Guo Shiqi back to life?" β
Bai Zhongzheng thought for a long time: "I don't know. β
At this moment, Qi Guan asked Lian Jiuqi coldly: "If there really is, will you resurrect your wife?" β
After speaking, Qi Guan looked at the torture technique again: "Will you bring your mother back to life?" Will you bring your Master back to life? β
Torture and even Jiuqi did not answer, although in their hearts, this answer was yes.
Qi Guan looked at Ma Fei again and asked, "You will make your boss Yuri. Is Makanov resurrected? β
Qi Guan turned to Yan Gang and Chen Fang again: "What about you?" You must have someone who wants to be resurrected, right? β
Yan Gang and Chen Fang both nodded, and said in unison: "Yes, everyone has regrets in their hearts, and they have all regretted it, and they have all thought that if they can go back to the past, they must make up for their mistakes, but have you ever thought about it, if these people come back to life one by one, what will happen?" β
The people were silent, and no one spoke.
Qi Guan took two steps forward: "Yes, no one knows whether what happened after these people came back to life was a good thing or a bad thing, just like Zhang Molu didn't know what would happen after he and Xing Boqiu really entered the Qimen, people should be arranged, the premise is within their control, but what will happen in the Qimen is beyond the control of all of us, and the same is true for Qian Xiuye, so this action is relatively fair for all of us, half of life and death, it depends on how to respond." β
The torture technique understood Qi Guan's words, and he also completely understood why Zhang Molu did not hesitate to kill Bo Qiu in the first place, and did not let him enter the Qi Gate, the reason was because the unknown was uncontrollable, which was very terrifying.
Just like the mantra of the torture technique itself, he will not do anything that he is not eighty percent sure of.
"My plan for now is that, no matter what, we will be the last to enter Qimen." Qi looked at everyone, "That way, at least we don't have to worry about being attacked on our backs." β
Lian Jiuqi said worriedly: "Qian Xiuye is not stupid, he will definitely set a trap." β
"Let's just be careful." Qi Guan looked very calm, "Besides, I buried thunder next to Qian Xiuye, Yuan Zhenba is a smart person, he is a person who knows how to judge the situation." β
