Chapter XXVII: The Death Train
"I'm really salty and don't worry about eating turnips."
This was the only sentence Xie Zhijian said after catching up, and there was bitterness in his tone.
I wanted to grab him and ask a clear question, but he had already rushed in front of me, and it was important to find someone at this time, and it was inconvenient for me to ask.
There is another corridor in the small door, I don't know where it leads, it is zigzag, narrow, sloping downward, and only one person can pass through.
The two of us walked one after the other, and the speed was not unfast, but who knew that we walked for five or six minutes without seeing the end.
I have a bad feeling in my heart, this passage is obviously leading to the third level of the fortress!
I'm really afraid of anything, I made up my mind not to come to the third layer anyway, but now I'm afraid I can't go if I don't want to, but I'm here to save people, I hope that Master and his old man have a spirit in the sky, and he won't blame me.
What makes me wonder is that if Dongfang Hong and Xu Yujia fled into this road just to avoid the pursuit of the fishy locust, they should have stopped a long time ago, because there was no trace of the fishy locust here.
But in fact, their smell is still there, but the people are gone.
I looked carefully all the way, and there was no fork in the road, and there was no place for people to hide, and it was clear that they had gone deeper.
It didn't take long for the road to become gentle, and a small tin gate appeared in front of it, and outside the door, there was a tall, wide tunnel.
The reason why it is a tunnel is because the underground passage is unusually tall and wide, at least three stories high, and the width is obvious enough to accommodate three trains in parallel, because in front of us there are three rows of rusty railroad tracks, except for a narrow stone platform under our feet!
I took a deep breath and reminded him, "Director Xie, you'd better slow down." ”
Xie Zhijian paused violently and looked back at me: "What, isn't this road leading to Huangquan?" ”
I smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't hit, it's not far away." ”
"You've been here?"
"No, but you've probably heard of the Death Train, right?"
"Of course!"
"That's where the rumor started."
Xie Zhijian's expression changed slightly, but then he smiled: "Then I really want to see it." ”
I have to admire him, as for admiring his ignorance and fearlessness, or the courage to know that the mountains have tigers and prefer the tigers, then it depends on his performance for a while before I can make a conclusion.
The death train only runs once a year, and at midnight on the 16th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it will stop at the platform, load the dead, and go to the underworld.
If a living person gets into the car, even if they are lucky enough to survive, the next thing relatives and friends will see will only be a vegetative person.
Similar rumors can be found everywhere, and railway workers may have heard more, but what few people know is that this rumor comes from the depths of the mountains in the northeast, from an era before Jiazi when there were no mobile phones, no Internet, and even phones were rare.
As for whether the rumors are true or not, judging by the fact that Dongfanghong and the two are still nowhere to be found, I believe that we will soon be able to witness it with our own eyes. We followed the scent and walked along the platform on the right, and it didn't take long for the road to be cut off.
It may not be accurate to say that it is severed, because although the tunnel has completely collapsed, there are two carriages exposed in the collapsed earth and rock, which are made boxy, with a T-shaped ventilation channel at the top, and the door is open, and the bronze plaque next to the door is engraved with a Japanese mark, and only the words Mantie and Mudanjiang can be recognized.
I frowned and stopped, snorting hard.
At this point, the smell of Dongfang Hong is already very light, but the smell of Burberry Love Perfume on Xu Yujia's body is still strong and pungent to me, don't ask me how I know what brand of perfume it is when I smell it, I have studied it when I was in the army, okay?
Seeing that Xie Zhijian was about to drill into the carriage without thinking about it, I grabbed him: "Director, I think you should first explain what kind of routine these two are playing." ”
He didn't hide it from me when he arrived, and said with a sad face: "Hong Lao may have gone to the Zhenling Monument." ”
"Huh?" I didn't have to pretend, there was a bit of chill in my voice.
After the little devil was wiped out, the only few remaining veterans of the three sects of Xuandao Buddha joined forces to lay out the Great Disgust Victory Technique at the core of the fortress, in order to suppress the demons that could not be punished under Dongning, and it was also the real reason why my master Yang Zhen never left Dongning for half a step in his life.
But there were not many people who knew about this matter at the beginning, and it has always been kept secret among the three gates, and the core disciples of the non-descendant line have not passed it on, Xie Zhijian can say the name of the Zhenling Monument has surprised me, not to mention that Dongfang Hong will go to it.
I didn't hide the murderous intent in my heart: "What do you want to do!" ”
Xie Zhijian looked powerless and helpless: "Don't get me wrong, we are really just here to make a film, and I am just guessing where Hong Lao is going." He is a special consultant in the group, and he is also a great Xuan Kongdi master, what does he want to do, do you think I can interfere? ”
"I'll you......" When I heard this, I just wanted to slap the calf to death.
He hurriedly grabbed my raised hand: "Don't be impulsive first, listen to me." ”
"Say what? This old bastard is actually a geomaster, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
The earth master, to put it bluntly, is Mr. Feng Shui, the most common and least common profession in the Xuanmen.
It is said that it is common because the bastards who swagger and deceive under the sign of Mr. Feng Shui are not only all over the country, but can be said to be all over the world, and even the reputation of Xuanmen has stinked.
It is not common, because there are too few people with real skills in this line, and their means can be called the most secret one of the Xuanmen, to a small extent, they can use the power of flowers, trees, fish, insects and birds to make things difficult with people, and to put it mildly, they can peek through the mysteries of mountains, rivers, rivers, heaven and earth, and achieve their goals with the help of earth.
The most terrible thing is that these guys look like ordinary people when they don't use means, and those who take a fierce route like us credit knife people can't see through their disguises until they reach the peak of the Holy Realm.
But then I silently calculated the yellow calendar, today is the day of Bingshen in the month of Ding Younian, I looked at my watch, 12:40 at noon, and there are still 20 minutes to arrive, I can't help but be happy, this old thing, thousands of calculations just didn't count the time.
Xie Zhijian was angry and laughed when he saw me, and he thought I was crazy, so he hurriedly comforted:
"Yang Lin, calm down, I didn't expect him to be like this, not to mention that he probably just wanted to see the Zhenling Monument."
I knew that it would be useless to kill him now, so I casually asked him, "Is it because of this that you secretly left me a note?" ”
Xie Zhijian lowered his head: "I'm just afraid that this situation will occur, if you refuse to cooperate...... Red Lao will embarrass you again. ”
"No, it's not necessarily who is embarrassed. Lead the way! I slammed him hard and shoved him through the car door.
Although I can see that this guy is not telling the truth, I am in a hurry to catch Dongfanghong, and I can't care about that much.
I don't know if the buried part of the car has been flattened by the landslide, but for now, it seems that this is the only way to go.
As soon as I entered the carriage, I couldn't help but tense my nerves.
It was a passenger car, and the seats on both sides of the carriage were rudimentary wooden chairs, which were widely spaced, but at this time the chairs were crowded with people.
To say that it is people, it is really to exalt them, it should be said to be beasts, and it is a group of beasts that have been dead for an unknown amount of time!
These beasts were all wearing the yellow cloth uniforms of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and there were scattered Type 38 rifles around them, and some of them were carrying 14 pistols, magazines, grenades and other equipment in the south, with sufficient ammunition and full of armed to the teeth.
But after decades of drying, they have all become skeletons wrapped in a dark brown skin, and some of them have grown green hairs on their faces, showing signs of ossification and corpses.
What is really strange is that this carriage was almost not affected by the collapse, but they died here one by one, and even if they sat in a chair, they still maintained a straight military posture, as if death had patronized them in an instant, and there was no sign of struggling to flee or crying out in pain.
Encountering such a strange situation, even with Xie Zhijian on the way ahead, I still clenched the three-edged thorns, let go of my senses and looked around, but until I passed through the two carriages, none of these dead beasts changed.
Perhaps it was the little devil's train that was built strongly, we entered the third carriage buried by the collapse, and found that except for the deformation of the roof, it did not affect other parts, and the aisle of the carriage was completely passable.
But just as I was crossing the third carriage, I caught a glimpse of an unusual sign, stopped, and stopped Xie Zhijian.
"What do you have sticking to the soles of your feet?"
Xie Zhijian raised his foot and tore off a strand of dry and yellow hair from the sole of his shoe: "Ghost hair, what's wrong?" ”
The ghost hair in the mouth of the Taoist priest is talking about the hair of the dead.
There were at least three hundred dead devils in this carriage, and it was indeed nothing new for the hair to stick to the soles of their shoes.
But if the ghost hair that falls to the ground can actually outline the shape of the gossip symbol by itself, then it will really be a hell of a life.
I looked at the soles of my feet and couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that your old leader is not as soft-hearted as you say, take off your shoes and look at the soles of your own feet." ”
Xie Zhijian took off his hiking shoes in disbelief and went to pull his socks, but he didn't pull them down, and he grinned in pain.
"What the hell!" He looked down and found that a small piece of yellow hair had grown on the center of his foot at some point, and it had actually come out of the sock one by one, sticking the sock to the center of the foot.
He was in a hurry, and he pulled hard, pulling off the wool and socks together, and blood suddenly oozed from the soles of his feet.
"Why, I obviously used the amulet, this ......"
"That's right, it's difficult for ghosts and demons to break your Five Elements Talisman, but the Earth Master's technique is another matter."
Xie Zhijian's face changed, and he hurriedly took out a yellow talisman and pasted it to the center of his foot, the yellow talisman was directly stuck to death with blood, and the yellow light flashed, turning into several rays of light and wrapping around his calves, making his body tremble in pain, but he also gritted his teeth and stiffened through.
He didn't say a word, hurriedly took off his other shoe, and acted according to the law, until the yellow light wrapped around his calf dissipated, and he sweated a little in pain, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had already gone to the ghost gate and walked away.
You can't blame him for being blind and nervous, it's just that this method is too insidious.
This trick is called ghost foot binding, which is to use the thick yin characteristics of the dead man's hair, confused in the earth's qi, so that people fall into the trap unconsciously, the most terrible thing is that the person who is tricked does not hurt or itch at first, and if it can't be found early, and the ghost hair drills into the heart and brain along the blood vessels, people will become yellow-haired zombies.
Xie Zhijian solved his troubles, and immediately took out two yellow talismans and handed them to me: "Purification talismans, so good." ”
I smiled and stomped my foot, and the ghost hair sticking to the soles of my shoes was scattered: "Thanks, I don't have to bother so much." ”
"The Holy Realm is really extraordinary, I'm ashamed."
I don't know if he is ashamed, whether he underestimated me, or that he didn't expect Dongfanghong to be so insidious, but I don't care, now my only plan is to find out Dongfanghong's old madman, beat him violently, and then send him to Lu Jun, I want to see how Lu Jun, the deputy director of the city's evil management bureau, will deal with it.
However, what I didn't expect was that Xie Zhijian looked at me and said hesitantly: "There is something, I think I should tell you, on the day we arrived in Mudanjiang, Dongfanghong received a phone call. ”
I intuitively felt that what this guy was about to say didn't seem simple: "Oh? Whose phone called, what did it say? ”
"I didn't hear what he said, but I heard him call the other party Deputy Director Lu."
