Without waiting for Mr. Bi to finish speaking, Luo Laodao had already closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to count, only to see him pinching the knuckles of his fingers, chanting words in his mouth, and after a while, he opened his eyes and took out a compass from his backpack and compared it around for a while.

"Over there," Luo Laodao pointed to the position of the second beam on our right, "southeast position, Shengmen!" ”

"I don't know if there's anyone over there." Mr. Bi said secretly.

"Wouldn't you let everyone report the number?" I walked to the door and shouted at the top of my voice: "Listen, everyone, report the number of people based on the hole we entered, counterclockwise, and the beam on the right side of the hole is the first, do you understand?" ”

As soon as my voice fell, I heard echoes everywhere.

"Okay, let's go, count!"

"The first, three!"

"He boy, I'm Chen Fangyuan, the third, five people!"

"Okay, it's my turn, I'm the fourth, four!"

"My old Li! The fifth, three! ”

......

The number of reports stopped, and I calculated that there were eighteen people in the entire camp, and the Mongolian interpreter had been left outside, and the two brothers who were injured last time had also stayed on it this time, so it happened that fifteen people were not a lot.

"Lao Chen! Lao Li! We just calculated, the birth gate should be in the door hole on Lao Li's right, do you want to see if you go over and take a look? When Luo Laodao saw that the report was finished, he shouted at both sides.

"Tell me how you calculated first, let's sum it up, don't be careless!" Chen Fangyuan shouted.

"That's the case, because there was no gossip before, so we didn't know what direction this gossip hall was set up, just now Mr. Bi thought of using the direction of the coffin to calculate, I thought about it right, even if I counted it, the result of the calculation is that the door is in the door hole on the right hand side of Lao Li!"

"Lao Chen, this is really a method, I just saw it, the coffin points to a beam at the end of the coffin, maybe it is really based on the direction of the coffin!"

After Lao Li finished shouting, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Chen Fangyuan asked loudly: "Professor Ouyang, Lao Guo, what do you two think?" ”

"Lao Chen, I'm with Lao Li, I agree with Lao Luo!"

"Then, Professor Ouyang, what is your opinion?"

"Since everyone agrees, let's go over and take a look, it's better to try it than to stay put!"

"Okay, Zhu Wu, you arrange one person, bring a shovel, let's go over and take a look, the others will stay put, He Xiaozi tried it just now, these beams are no problem to bear the weight of three people, so there must not be more than three people on the beam!"

"Lao Chen, I have to go over and take a look, if something is wrong, I may be able to find out!"

"This ~~~~ Okay, then let's go in pairs, I'll go with Zhu Wu first, Lao Luo, you wait for our signal before moving!"

Listening to Chen Fangyuan's well-organized arrangement, I didn't bother to care, pulled Qiu Yan to sit down against the brick wall, and waited for their news.

After we sat down, Qiu Yan leaned her head on my shoulder very naturally, and as soon as my heart warmed, I also leaned my face on Qiu Yan's head.

"When I first knew about our family's curse, I was very depressed, always complaining about the injustice of heaven, and then returned to China to trek through mountains and rivers with Xiang Wei, although it was fortunate, but all the way were lakes and mountains, I gradually accepted this life, thinking that this is also an adventure, but since I met you, I found that the previous adventure was not an adventure at all, and I didn't even touch the side of the adventure. Zimu, I'm really a little scared now, we've gone through a lot of hardships and dangers, don't we just want to live a little longer? But if you accidentally die in the process of finding salvation, is it worth it? ”

I didn't answer Qiu Yan, but put my hand around her shoulder and asked her to lean closer to me.

Is it worth it? I didn't think about it!

What I think about the most now is the dark world, the so-called soul sacrifice, the images that flashed in my head at the bottom of Poyang Lake, the tortoise shell and the mysterious sacrificial ritual.

I thought to myself that in so many hidden and dangerous events, if there is an obstacle that makes it impossible for us to connect the other events, Qiu Yan and I will not be able to get to this point today, and whenever the clues are broken in our investigation, there will always be a glimmer of hope, and we have found the next way from this glimmer of hope, so maybe this is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, but there is a certain number in the dark, starting from Huang Zongman's splitting the tortoise shell into nine and distributing it to nine people, starting from Qiu Shanyue entering the mysterious ancient tomb and cursing, It has already been decided that Qiu Yan and I will come to this point, and the future road is not something that Qiu Yan and I can decide.

"Lao Luo, we're here!" Chen Fangyuan's shout came from outside, and Luo Laodao immediately picked up his backpack after hearing this, and then crawled forward on the beam.

"Mr. Bi, this tortoise shell can't be found, what are you going to do next?" After Luo Laodao was far away, I asked Mr. Bi, the purpose of their trip is for the tortoise shell, if I guess correctly, the pattern on the tortoise shell must be nine pieces together to be seen, and if this piece is lost, even if the other eight pieces are found, it will be in vain, so not only their actions this time, but all the previous actions are considered failures.

"Hey, let's see how Lao Chen arranges it, there will always be a way." Mr. Bi's tone was calm, as if he didn't care about the tortoiseshell.

"Mr. Bi, can you tell me why you are working so hard to find tortoise shells?"

Mr. Bi turned his head to look at me, took a step closer to me, and said with a smile: "You didn't ask until Lao Luo left, did you think you could get words out of my mouth?" ”

I was stunned, "Hehe, boring, just ask, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”

"Haha, Brother Xiao He, do you know what is very interesting?" Mr. Bi gave a rare smile, but I heard goosebumps rising when I heard it, and he continued without waiting for me to reply, "You are very similar to Chen Fangyuan, they both think that they are very smart, and they both think that they have secrets that others don't know. ”

I didn't think so, and wanted to defend a few words, but Mr. Bi didn't give me a chance, "I can't tell you directly why we are looking for tortoise shells, what I can tell you is that the secret you think you think is actually not a secret for a long time, for example, the piece of tortoise shell in your hand!" ”

I was taken aback by this statement, but fortunately we were all wearing masks at this time, and he could only see my eyes, otherwise, he would have seen it.

After listening to Mr. Bi's words, I subconsciously touched my chest, wondering how he found out? Could it be that he had known that the tortoise shell was hidden in the statue's body?

"You are very smart, you should be able to think that the tortoise shell is your ancestor Huang Zong's full division of nine pieces, could it be that he gave all the nine pieces of tortoise shell to others, and did not keep any of them himself?"

When I heard this, I was relieved, it turned out that he was talking about the tortoise shell that my grandfather gave me.

However, Mr. Bi's words prove that they have found out the details of me, and they may even know that Huang Zongman is my ancestor before me.

"Then if you know, why don't you ask me?" I wondered.

"Why do you think Chen Fangyuan wants to woo you? Of course, he knows that the tortoise shell is in your hand, so he is not in a hurry, as long as he can find you, he can find the tortoise shell in your hand! ”

At this time, I wanted to slap myself a few times, what Mr. Bi said was too simple, as long as I paid a little attention to it, I could think of it, but I didn't expect it, and let Chen Fangyuan lead his nose step by step into his trap.

"Mr. Bi, you tell me this, does Chen Fangyuan know?"

"Such a simple question, even if I don't tell you, you can think of it sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if Chen Fangyuan knows it or not."

"Okay, Mr. Bi, let me ask you one more question, when did you start investigating me?"

"That's not right, you should ask when we started paying attention to you, in fact, about Huang Zongman, we know that the Jiang family's grandmother is his descendant, and we also know that the Jiang family's grandmother has other relatives, but the grandmother seems to have been deliberately keeping a distance from her relatives, so we don't know where Huang Zongman's other descendants are, until you appear!"

I suddenly realized, and finally understood why my grandmother almost never contacted our family, and the only time was sneaky, and I also understood why my grandmother didn't want me to contact Chen Fangyuan before, but there is one thing I still don't understand, that is, why did my grandmother agree to me to contact Chen Fangyuan after that?

Having said this, I heard some information, and I could hear from Mr. Bi's tone that he was not as respectful to Chen Fangyuan as others, and judging from his performance in the past few days, Chen Fangyuan's attitude towards Mr. Bi was indeed much better than that of others, it seems that the relationship between these two people is a bit delicate, if I figure it out, maybe it can be used by me.

I wanted to ask something more, but then I heard a shouting outside, I quickly stood up and ran to the door, and I heard someone on Chen Fangyuan's side shouting, "Run!" Come on! ”

Something is wrong! I felt it subconsciously.

"Lao Chen, what's wrong! What's wrong? Over there, Mr. Ouyang asked first.

But Chen Fangyuan didn't reply, and there was still a constant "Run!" Come on! The urging sound.

I took a closer look, and I saw that there seemed to be people running on the beam, and there were more than four of them!

"Lao Li, Lao Guo, can you see it over there? What's going on over there? Mr. Bi stood behind me and shouted.

There was an echo immediately: "I don't know, I can't see clearly, it seems that there are a lot of people coming out!" ”

"Lao Guo, you are stupid, is that the person who can run down here?! Then he's a zongzi! ”

"Zongzi! It's not good, Xiao He, it's a zombie, Lao Chen's side is in danger! Mr. Bi's tone was a little anxious.

I was about to tell Mr. Bi that it was useless to be anxious, such a narrow bridge, if we crossed, not only could not save them, but would also cut off their way of retreat, at this time, they could only rely on their own speed.

But before I could say it, there was a "boom" sound from there, and I felt the beams under the doorway shake twice, and then the old Li Tou shouted over there: "It's not good, the beam has collapsed!" ”
