Chapter 18 Shekou Rescues
An hour, Leng Changxi frowned slightly when he heard this, which means that someone set off at least an hour earlier than them, who would be so pressing step by step, no, this is not pressing step by step, this person even walked in front of them.
In front of the snake cave, a pile of firewood that has not yet burned out is still warm, and the grass and trees next to it are cleaned up, which is obviously sorted out by this person when he is resting, the snake cave is dark, and there is no Acha in the mouth of the soldiers, and the soldier who was abducted by the giant python is probably also nine deaths.
Wan Yan Su organized the soldiers to tie up torches, in the mountains and wilderness, fire and water sources are extremely important, Wan Yan Su ordered people to take out more than a dozen torches at once this time, it can be seen that he also expressed great concern about this person who appeared in the Savage Valley inexplicably.
The torches were lit one by one, the fireworks were few, Wan Yansu selected twelve of the strongest and most sensitive personal soldiers to enter the cave, and the twelve torches illuminated the entrance of the cave at once, watching the soldiers enter one by one, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be mentioned in the throat eyes, and after a while, there was an echo inside: "Your Highness, Atcha and the giant python have all their merits, and the giant python's belly has also been dissected." But the people inside were out of breath. โ
It was obvious that this brave brother was trying his best to save his brother, but in the end he died with regret, and after a while, the soldiers replied: "There is another person's body in this cave." โ
"Drag him out."
After a while, the twelve soldiers inside came out of the cave with a corpse every three people, Atcha had many drug wounds and bruises on his body, and the person in the snake's belly was covered in mucus, and finally the corpse that was carried out was actually only half left, to be precise, his lower body had been swallowed by the python, only the upper body was still vaguely recognizable.
The soldier ruffled his hair to reveal his pale face, the man who was the young man from the village of Tamur;
Immediately, someone among the soldiers shouted: "Lao Tzu has long known that there are ghosts in that village, brothers, when we kill them back, we will raze the village and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor." โ
"Give me all the accommodation.!" It was the first time Wan Yan Su had such a big temper in front of everyone, Leng Changxi once said that because he had always been upright and elegant, it was likely to cause his subordinates to disobey him, even if he wanted to contrast with the tyranny of the eldest prince, he had to be targeted, and when it was time to maintain his authority, he couldn't be soft at all, at this moment, Wan Yan Su really realized it.
"Now that we're in the valley, it's impossible to go back." Yes, although Wan Yan Su has secretly sent someone to bury Sun Chengzhen's body, if the people in the village find that Sun Chengzhen has suddenly disappeared, even though Sun Chengzhen himself has a lot of lives on hand, but for the people of that village, he has always been a kind and just a little crazy Tamu family grandfather, for his disappearance or death, the people in the village will naturally blame Wan Yan Su and his party, they are the only suspects.
Xu is the first time that Yan Su has been so angry, and the more than 100 people present have been suppressed, Leng Changxi squatted down to check the young man's injuries, it is undeniable that this young man was indeed bitten to death by a python, and there was only one trace of him appearing at the scene, sneaking into the valley alone, if his purpose is the same as Leng Changxi's group, it is to find the lost treasure or the weapons factory, shouldn't he bring more people?
Leng Changxi continued to go down, but saw that the young man's right hand was clenched tightly, as if he was holding something, and the thing that he had to guard tightly before he died must be something more important than life, Leng Changxi took a lot of effort to spread out the young man's cold and stiff right hand, inside, it was just a palm-sized map, and there were dried blood stains and sticky mucus in the abdominal cavity of the giant python.
The more you look at this map, the more familiar it becomes.
Leng Changxi glanced at Yan Su, his eyes had already told Wan Yan Su what he thought at this time, Wan Yan Su looked around, and quickly counted the number of people, except for the two people who were devoured by the giant python and died with the giant python, many of the one hundred and seventy people were bitten or bitten by snakes, especially the few palace maids who followed the team to set off, none of them were spared, at a critical time, where could these soldiers still care about protecting these weak women.
Hastily organized the procession and hurried through the canyon where the poisonous snakes were most dense, and a cool wind blew from a hillside, the first open field that the soldiers had seen after walking through so many dense forests.
Wan Yan Su ordered the soldiers to set up camp, although it was still early, but everyone was scared away by the terrifying experience of the Snake Valley, the camp tent was set up, when the bonfire rose, the sun began to set, Wan Yan Su's camp tent was the middle and largest white tent, Yaqi came in with the freshly boiled soup, and Wan Yan Su, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi were discussing something important.
On the desk, there was a map taken from the young man's hand.
Yaqi lowered the soup through the curtain of the partition, and the ingredients were some mushrooms that the soldiers had temporarily found in the woods, and the fragrance was overflowing.
On the side of the case, Leng Changxi quietly put the maps of the four major families collected in front of Yan Su one by one, and explained: "This one is the four maps kept by the four major families of Daqi, and this one was found from the people of Tamur Village, Your Highness, what clues can you see?" โ
Wanyan raised his eyebrows, looked at it carefully for a long time before saying: "These two maps, in fact, are the same, yes, they are the same, but the way of spelling is different." Wan Yansu said as he fiddled with the four separate maps, not only sighed: "Oh my God, this is incredible, or four maps can put together a complete route no matter how you put them together, but how do we know which one is the right one?" โ
Leng Changxi took a deep breath, and knocked his fingers on the four maps: "This is the genius of the first emperor of the Great Qi, the queen mother invented these four maps, wanting to make the four major families fight, and the first emperor is even better, even if the four major families can cooperate and gather these four maps, there is no way to reach the depths of the treasure, and what is paid is only more and more people liu'xuรจ and tears;
ใ โ
"What about this map?" Wan Yansu pointed to the smaller Dao, which was taken from the young man's hand, "This one is complete, maybe it's true." โ
"If it is true, then why did the young man die in Shekou?" Qin Yunuan said slowly, "I have checked the soil around the cave, and found that the soil on its surface is very different from its own soil, and it is mixed with the smell that snakes like very much, when I went down the mountain, I paid attention to it, the surface soil of the entire mountain has been treated, it can be said that it is actually a man-made snake mountain, if I guess correctly, there should be a person who is proficient in the feng shui of the mechanism of the Savage Valley has carried out precise layout and pattern adjustment, making the entire Savage Valley like a great formation, If you don't understand the mystery of this formation or don't have the right map, you will only step into the trap he has set. โ
"So who designed this formation?" Wan Yan frowned, it seemed that the matter was much more serious than he imagined, and what was even more terrifying was that he had already walked into the center of this formation step by step, and if he wanted to get out, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult.
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan glanced at each other.
"I guess, it's Sun Chengzhen." Leng Changxi said quietly.
"How could it be him?" Wan Yansu said in disbelief, "You said that he has been staying in Tamur Village just to be able to return to the Weapons Factory one day, if he had designed it himself, he would have been able to come in easily." โ
"I think, returning to the Weapons Factory may not be his real purpose" Qin Yunuan slowly analyzed, "Geniuses are all lonely, since he can set up such a huge layout in the Savage Valley under the nose of the Son of Heaven, he must also be waiting for someone who can unravel his layout, including him who escaped later, is challenging his own layout, to see if he can escape his carefully arranged formation, and finally he succeeded, which made him even more lonely in his heart, he felt that no one could beat him, So while he was creating obstacles and those terrible legends for the people who entered the valley, he was waiting for a really powerful person to break his formation, I guess, the fake map in the young man's hand was also given to him by Sun Chengzhen, he just wanted to see if this young man was smart enough to see the flaws, but unfortunately, under such conditions, who could maintain such a clear and cautious discernment? โ
"If it's really him......." Wan Yansu dragged out his voice, "Then there are already methods for cracking these formations in his house, and I will immediately send someone to search his house." โ
"No need," Qin Yunuan stopped, "I've already looked all over his house, there is nothing of value, it seems that he has already destroyed any clues." โ
Wan Yan Su sighed, he was worried about the fate of these one hundred and seventy people, at the beginning, when he learned that Leng Changxi was sure that he could get the entire map, he dared to move forward rashly out of trust in Leng Changxi, but now he learned that even the map was unreliable.
"However, he ruined the clues, but he couldn't destroy the habits." The corners of Qin Yunuan's mouth suddenly raised, revealing twelve points of self-confidence, in this world, he has never been afraid of no clues, but he was afraid of unintentional discovery.
"I checked with Xianggong, Sun Chengzhen's teapot is a bird's tongue tea, and even the teacup is leached out of the tea fragrance of the bird's tongue tea, which shows that he drinks this tea all year round, and there is also this tea fragrance in the bamboo basket outside his house, indicating that this bird's tongue tea is picked by him personally, the bird's tongue tea is extremely harsh to the growth environment, and there must be a deep moist soil layer of the leeward of laterite, and this soil layer is suitable for growing moso bamboo, Sun Chengzhen is old, it is impossible to go too far to pick tea, so this map with the sign of the bamboo forest, is the bottom one. โ
