Chapter 34: Anko's Benefactor
When he crawled out of the snow cave, it was already late at night, and when he looked up, the first thing he saw was the two white wolf herdsmen, who were able to dig out the snow cave so quickly, thanks to the help of these two wolf herders outsideβpeople were digging from the bottom up, and wolf herders were digging from the top.
When the cold wind blew, the torture technique trembled, and he turned back to Mo Duqiao and Ma Fei behind him: "Let's stay in the snow cave for the night tonight, and if we go out rashly, we will either freeze to death or fall to death." β
As he spoke, he waved his hand to let the two wolf herds in, and with the help of the three wolf herds, he expanded the snow cave below several times, and then curled up with Ma Fei and Mo Dusk Bridge to open the self-heating food.
Ma Fei fed beef jerky to the three wolf herdsmen, and originally only ate one of them, but closed his mouth under the eyes of the soul brand.
Ma Fei said: "Why don't you eat?" Is it because I'm not their owner? Afraid of something wrong with my food? β
Mo Duqiao, who was looking through the diary, raised his eyes and said, "It shouldn't be, the soul brand doesn't want to eat our food." β
Soul Brand seemed to understand Mo Duqiao's words, and whimpered, Ma Fei touched Soul Brand's head, and Soul Brand also stretched his head over and rubbed Ma Fei's face.
Xingshu leaned over and looked outside the snow cave: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Lian, I called by radio just now, but there was no response." β
Maffei turned on the radio and tried to call again, but all that came from inside was a rustle.
Ma Fei turned off the walkie-talkie: "You still call him Mr. Lian?" He's your dad. β
Holding the gun, he shook his head and said, "He's just a stranger to me. β
Ma Fei said: "Even Jiuqi is your father, this is a fact, and it can never be changed." β
"I know." Torture still shook his head, "But, if it were you, decades after you were born, you suddenly had a father from the sky, would you accept it?" β
Ma Fei thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. β
"I had a strong feeling for him at first, there was a hatred in it, and I always felt that this person suddenly appeared for other purposes, and the later I went, the weaker this feeling became, and the less I wanted to recognize him, I thought it would be better to maintain the status quo." β
Just as Xingshu and Ma Fei were talking about Lian Jiuqi, Mo Duqiao, who had been looking through his diary, said: "Gromov's diary records the composition of the entire Khan City in detail, and I am a little reluctant to believe that it is true. β
The torturer hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" β
Moduqiao pointed to the words on the diary: "You see, in Gromov's words, the whole city of Khuhan is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower, the first part is at the foot of the mountain, that is, at the bottom of the center of the Altai crown, where there is a small city built in the shape of a cross, and from the situation he described, the one built by the Southwest Tietang in Sichuan." In the center of the city, there is a strange mountain in the same shape as the mushroom, which covers the small city below like a mushroom's umbrella, and above the mushroom hill is an irregular cross-shaped canyon, which is divided into four areas, each with artificially hewn houses on the cliffs, and this is the middle part. β
After hearing this, he immediately asked, "What's the top?" β
"Heaven." "That's what Gromov wrote in his diary, he wrote that the part above was a mountain floating in mid-air, but he didn't get a chance to go up, but he saw it in good weather, through the sunlight that pierced through the clouds, and I thought it was probably just his imagination." β
Torture thought for a moment and asked, "Do you believe in the existence of heaven?" β
Mo Duqiao smiled: "I believe, because the definition of heaven is actually different for everyone, I think, people who have really been to heaven will not come back, so it is impossible for anyone to know what heaven is like, don't believe you ask Ma Fei, her heaven must be able to be with you every day, live a peaceful and stable life." β
Ma Fei's face flushed, pretending not to hear, and he turned his face to the side to eat beef jerky, and drank the kettle a little unnaturally.
Torture lowered his head and smiled: "What else is written?" β
Mo Duqiao shook his head: "The intermittent records in the diary are actually not coherent, and he also rewrote in it how he escaped the pursuit of those Bohai remnants." β
Torture came to interest: "How did he write it?" How did you escape? β
"Those Bohai remnants are afraid of the dark, they like to gather in places with light, they are very afraid of the dark, and once it is night, they basically do not leave the caves and dwellings." Murmov looked at the diary and said, "Gromov wrote that when he arrived at Khuhan City, it was already approaching night, and he dragged the lieutenant officer to walk on the snow, and when he was besieged by that group of monsters, the last ray of light disappeared into the valley, and those monsters immediately dispersed, and began to run like cats chasing light and shadow, and then fled into the cave, gathered together and lit torches, and never came out again, just stood at the entrance of the cave and stared at Gromov in the snow outside. β
Torture looked at the diary: "What else?" β
Mo Duqiao continued: "After Gromov found out about this, he decided to act at night, and hide in the dark cave during the day, during the day, these Bohai remnants will leave the cave, from his observations, on the one hand, he likes the sunlight outside, and on the other hand, he is to save firewood and other things used at night, so it is basically certain that the thing that these Bohai relics are most afraid of is the dark." β
Ma Fei said on the side: "So, we can only act at night?" β
Mo Duqiao said: "Judging from the clues we have obtained now, we can only move at night to be safest, but the trouble is that the temperature at night is too low, we have to leave now, and it is estimated that the possibility of survival is not great, so we can only hope that after entering Kuhan City, we can at least find a place to shelter from the wind, so that our night action can also be more convenient." β
Ma Fei sighed: "Can anyone tell me what we went to Khuhan City to find?" Now that it's basically determined that Qimen is not here, what's the point of us going in? β
"I want to know, what is the relationship between the Cast Iron Immortal and the Prophet, maybe this is another way to unlock what the Qi Gate is?" β
Ma Fei leaned to the side and said, "I really don't understand why you are so poor that you have to find Qimen all your life?" Is Qimen really that seductive? β
Mo Duqiao explained on the side: "This is a kind of brainwashing, just like a blacksmith, they all want to create the most powerful weapon in the world, but no one knows what the most powerful thing should look like, so they keep looking for raw materials, keep trying, and never stop." β
Ma Fei suddenly thought of something and asked the torture technique: "You say, could it be that Qimen doesn't exist at all?" β
Xingshu shook his head: "I don't know, let's rest, tomorrow at dawn, we have to hurry immediately, and we have to find the whereabouts of Mr. Lian and the three of them." β
After the torture was finished, he subconsciously hugged Ma Fei's waist, and the heads of the two leaned together.
Seeing this scene, Mo Duqiao on the opposite side turned his head to look at the three wolf herds on the other side, and said to himself: "These two people not only abuse single dogs, but also single wolves, oh, no, you are not single, I am the only one who is single here, no, one!" β
Ma Fei stretched out his leg and kicked lightly on the Twilight Bridge, holding back a laugh, and his head pressed against the torture technique again.
In the town below the snow slope, even the three of Jiuqi also found a relatively defensive building to rest, because they were worried that frostbite would aggravate the relationship, so they had to raise the stove in the house, make some hot food, and at the same time rub the ointment to treat frostbite, and discuss the next plan.
Torret leaned against the door with his crossbow in his arms, drinking coffee, although he had never liked this drink, but among the hot drinks he brought, only coffee was left, and the last bit of milk powder was lost due to the avalanche.
Angu put his hands close to the stove to absorb the warmth, and his eyes were a little glazed.
At this time, Lian Jiuqi turned off the stove: "Save some use, I don't know how long we will stay here." β
An Gu was a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that Lian Jiuqi had a point, so he wrapped his clothes tightly and prepared to lie down to sleep, but who knew that Lian Jiuqi stopped him and said, "I'm impatient." β
Angu knew what Lian Jiuqi was going to ask, and he was originally going to remain silent, but he found that Lian Jiuqi was sitting directly beside him, so he had to say: "I said it, as long as you see the Cusco company......"
Before he finished speaking, Angu saw that the revolver in Lian Jiuqi's hand was facing him, he immediately got up, and Torre, who was sitting at the door, also immediately put down the cup and wanted to step forward to stop it.
Lian Jiuqi raised his hand to signal Torlie not to come, and at the same time said to Angu: "I don't have any patience anymore, if you don't say anything, it will affect my judgment below, and maybe kill us, so, in order to save my life, I will pull the trigger after fifteen seconds, and the reason why I give you five more seconds is not because I am merciful, but because I only give you five seconds to leave a last word, so, from the time I start time, you have to think about it." β
As he spoke, Lian Jiuqi pressed the stopwatch on his watch, and didn't look at Angu, just put the muzzle of the gun directly on his head.
Angu looked at the revolver, and then looked at Lian Jiuqi with a cold face, and felt that this person was not joking, and he tentatively turned his head to look at Torre, his eyes were full of pleas, but Torri just shook his head at him, and even raised the crossbow in his hand towards him.
"It's time." Lian Jiuqi got up and pointed his gun at Angu.
"I met a climber here, a climber who was a bit older!" Angu suddenly shouted, "He saved me, otherwise I would have died, and he also told me that it was not the first time he had been here, so he knew the route, where it was dangerous, and where it was safe!" β
Lian Jiuqi didn't put down the gun: "So, all your knowledge was taught by this person?" You followed him back to China, this man is a cargo chaser, right? β
Angu nodded, and Lian Jiuqi asked again, "What's his name?" β
An Gu said: "He said that his name is Wu Zi'an and he is from Xi'an, China. β
Lian Jiuqi was shocked: "What? Wu Zi'an? Where in China did you follow him? Sian? β
Angu shook his head: "No, it's Beijing." β
Lian Jiuqi suddenly realized something: "You describe this person, describe it in detail!" β
After An Gu finished described, Lian Jiuqi put down the gun, trembled all over, and slowly sat down: "The person who saved you is not called Wu Zi'an, his name is Qian Xiuye......
An Gu said: "But he told me that his name is Wu Zi'an, the Wu Zi'an mentioned by the reed flute, he is from the Cusco company, that's why, in that cave, when you mentioned Wu Zi'an, I didn't say a word!" β
"No, his name is Qian Xiuye!" Lian Jiuqi shook his head and said, "When you entered the mountain, what happened after you met him?" β
Torreux leaned over and listened carefully.
An Gu said: "At that time, I didn't understand Chinese, but I could judge from his gestures, he said that he was going into the mountain, and asked me, so I roughly told me about my own affairs, but he didn't understand all of them, and he was very puzzled, but he soon asked me, would you like to follow him away and go outside?" β
Lian Jiuqi frowned and said, "So you agreed?" β
Angu said: "I was bent on leaving the tribe full of humiliation, so I agreed, worshiped him as a teacher, and studied with him for more than ten years, and then he arranged for me to return to Mongolia, told me to wait, and told me that someone would find me soon, he was right, it didn't take long for Tang Qianrou to come to the door, exactly like what he said!" β
Torrei asked beside him, "How did Tang Qianrou know about you?" β
"According to Tang Qianrou, she got the news from a certain channel and knew that there was a layman of the Golden Eagle tribe here, and she had also gone to China to study." Angu carefully recalled, "She didn't suspect anything about me, because all the news about Altai that I gave her was true, every word was true, and I knew it, but there was the city of Khuhan here, and there were secrets between our ancestors, if it wasn't for my master, I wouldn't know, I swear, I really don't know." β
Lian Jiuqi asked, "What did he ask you to do?" What are your own plans? β
Angu said: "He asked me to follow the expedition team and adapt to the situation, but if I find that the expedition team retreats and wants to go back, I must try my best to keep them and let them move forward." β
Lian Jiuqi nodded: "Then what are your own plans?" You have been by Qian Xiuye's side for so long, it is impossible not to have your own research on the Four Seasons Mountain, what do you want to find in it? β
Angu hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'...... I'm also a chaser, and I want to find Qimen too. β
As he spoke, Angu took off his clothes and showed Lian Jiuqi the palm tattooed on his chest.
"Zhangrong?" Lian Jiuqi's face changed greatly, "Are you the palm of the cargo?" β
Angu was puzzled: "What do you mean by Zhangrong Cargo Driver?" β
Torree also looked at Lian Jiuqi suspiciously, and Lian Jiuqi clenched his pistol: "That's an ancient organization, an organization that should have disappeared a long time ago!" β
β¦β¦
"Zhangrong?" Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong were shocked when they saw the tattoos on Cai Nayun's body.
Fu Mingwei, who was standing in front of the one-way glass, looked strangely at Cai Nayun, who was examining his body in the interrogation room opposite, and the palm tattoo he took off his shirt and exposed on his chest.
Fu Mingwei asked, "What does palm rong mean?" β
"Literally means to command the army." Chen Taidong bit his nails and looked very nervous, "But in our industry, the Zhangrong Chaser is an organization that has long disappeared, and it is also an evil organization that the Chasers do not approve of, and they have joined forces to exterminate." β
Zheng Cangqiong was surprised: "I finally know why Tang Sirong and they want to make things like the Iron Clothed Buddha, it's not for nothing." β
Fu Mingwei saw that the two of them were so nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me clearly, what is it?" β
"You should know about the Fang La Army in the Northern Song Dynasty, right?" Zheng Cangqiong turned to Fu Mingwei and asked.
At this moment, Chen Taidong suddenly took a step back: "I know why Qian Xiuye is looking for Qimen, why is he going to find Kuhan City, he is really going to find the prophet!" β
Zheng Cangqiong was shocked and asked Chen Taidong: "What did you think of?" β
Chen Taidong looked at Cai Nayun on the other side of the one-way glass: "Do you remember what the Fangla rebel army believes in?" β
"Mingjiao, that is, Manichaeism...... Wait a minute! Zheng Cangqiong also froze, "They also believe in the Great Unified Manichaeism, that is, they call themselves the New Ming Sect, and the founder of the Ming Sect, Mani, claimed to be a prophet at the beginning. β
Chen Taidong said again: "Also, do you remember? Mingjiao was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, and Yelubei fled to the Later Tang Dynasty, and everything was connected. β
At this time, Cai Nayun, who was on the opposite side of the one-way glass, was staring at them, as if he could see through the glass and see the expressions of the two people behind the glass clearly, and at the same time, Cai Nayun also crossed his ten fingers together, gave two thumbs up, and pressed against his chest, and gently swiped up.
"That's the gesture," Zheng Cangqiong raised his finger ......, "that is the immortal seal of the Great Manichaeism, no wonder I feel so familiar when I hear about the three powers of the prophet, I always feel like I've heard it somewhere." β
Fu Mingwei heard it in a fog: "What are you talking about?" I don't understand a word. β
Chen Taidong said: "Officer Fu, I'm sorry, we can't cooperate anymore. β
Fu Mingwei was stunned: "What are you talking about?" β
Chen Taidong said: "I don't want to drag you into the water, this matter is beyond our control...... Of course, if the organization that is now in charge of the cargo chasers really still exists. β
Zheng Cangqiong nodded, and Fu Mingwei was anxious: "What are you talking about?" Let's be clear, okay? β
The two remained silent, just sat there, looked at Cai Nayun opposite, and finally understood why Cai Nayun agreed to cooperate with them, the reason was too simple, because Cai Nayun knew that no matter whether they cooperated or not, neither of them could escape the strange situation set up by Qian Xiuye, let alone escape the clutches of the Zhangrong Cargo Chaser!
At this moment, Cai Nayun suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and he was a little surprised when he vomited blood, but soon his surprised expression was replaced by a smile, he pushed away the doctor who was examining, rushed to the one-way glass, slapped the glass with the blood-stained hand, and shouted loudly: "Run!" β
After speaking, Cai Nayun trembled, and slowly slid to the ground against the glass, and the doctor stepped forward to check and give first aid, but soon shook his head at Fu Mingwei, who had rushed in.
The doctor said, "I'm out of breath." β
"Save him for me, whatever you think, you have to save him!" Fu Mingwei shouted, "Send it to first aid immediately, quickly-"
The doctor had no choice but to carry Cai Nayun out with the others, while Fu Mingwei stood there, looking at the one-way glass, then turned around and went out and rushed to the room next to him, who knew that when he opened the door, he found that Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong were gone.
