Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 71: Finding the Door
After listening to the fat man's words, my heart sank! Asked the fat man: "Do you mean that there are still people alive in this abandoned city for an unknown number of years?" β
The fat man looked in the direction of the "Dumen" we had escaped, and then at Yiyi, who was as nervous as me, and said, "It's not human! I smell a corpse! β
After the fat man finished speaking, the white sweat on my back came down! The smell of corpses? So the figures I just saw were corpses? I have no doubt about the fat man's sense of smell, which has been confirmed in Xiaoqian's body and many things.
I'm a little better, after all, in Zhao Tuo's tomb, I have experienced the tailgating of a wizard. But I still felt my scalp tingle, and subconsciously turned back to look at the city gate. It was quiet, I couldn't hear anything, just a layer of dark light, gloomy and compassionate.
I knew that as soon as I was close to the gate, countless murmuring voices and ghosts would appear. Yiyi was already nervous and speechless, and I shook her hand and felt cold. Xiao Qian was the calmest among us, and her expression was even a little enjoyable. I think the environment here should be much better than the mysterious coffin she was in when she was a child.
I suddenly thought of a question and asked the fat man, "Are there zombies or zongzi in the city?" Scorpion and Sister Ning are still inside! Will it be ......"
The fat man closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiao Su, to be honest, I didn't see anything in the panting creatures in the city, I only smelled the smell of the dead. As for Sister Ning and Scorpion, I think they should be relatively safe. Now that the mechanism in the entire city has been activated, then, Sister Ning and Scorpion, their positions should be separated from these things that smell of dead people, and they probably can't see each other! Because...... That gate is called "Du Gate"! β
Dumen, in the position of the eight gates in the southeast Xun Palace, the northwest is the opening of the door, and the southeast of the hedge is named "Dumen". Dumen is regarded as a small murderer, and it is also Zhongping. In the mouth of the alchemist, Dumen is a hidden form, suitable for disaster shelter, flood control and embankment, judgment and prison, etc., and the rest is unfavorable!
In the words of the fat man, if the people in Dumen at the moment were the four of us, instead of Sister Ning and them, then there must have been a lot of bad luck. Because in the Eight Gates Dunjia, Du Men is a military attache with many main personnel officers, that is, the military attachΓ©s will be safe in this gate. The military attachΓ©, as the name suggests, has a heavier evil qi on his body, and can suppress the invisible qi in this door. And Sister Ning and the scorpion just fit this characteristic, so they only need to hide their bodies to save the day!
As we spoke, we felt several beams of light come by! I turned my head to look and found that it was the opposite side of the bridge, and the people who Sister Ning stayed there to pick us up under the slope found us.
I glanced at the fat man, the fat man nodded, and the four of us got up together and walked towards the bridge where the "Divine Furnace" was placed.
I heard Xiaodou's voice from afar and asked us what happened, Sister Ning and Scorpion.
According to the tradition of Sister Ning and their team, these five who stayed in Qiaotou
Among them, Xiaodou, who sent a letter back to the second uncle, was already their temporary captain. I didn't ask him what Aunt Ming had to say after contacting him. Based on what I know about Aunt Ming, she will definitely prepare multiple sets of plans, and among these plans, there should also be a set of plans for us in Lop Nur.
As soon as the fat man saw Xiaodou, he asked her to send out a signal flare as fast as possible, and used their unique contact information to inform Sister Ning that they should hide their bodies and not make a sound easily, otherwise there would be danger!
When the fat man said this, his expression was very serious. Xiaodou should also know that the situation is a little serious, so he did as the fat man told him without delay!
The five people left behind first blew a regular whistle, and after the five people blew it together, the superimposed decibels resounded almost throughout the underground space. I think Sister Ning and the others should still be in the nearest "Dumen" to us at the moment, and they will definitely hear this voice.
Then, a signal flare sounded over us. The flares shot straight over our heads, illuminating a large area.
The four of us escaped from "Dumen" and then met with Xiaodou and the others, and it only took a short time in between.
I looked at Xiaodou and noticed that there was something wrong with this kid, although his face was full of beard, and his expression could not be seen, but I always felt that there was something hidden in his eyes.
I asked him if there was anything he hadn't said, and he was silent for a while, and then stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything. It's just a perfunctory explanation that my aunt told us to act on the opportunity, and the "geocentric country" in front of us should not be the direction we want to investigate.
I knew it was hard to get someone to say what they didn't want to say, so I stopped asking him. Instead, he asked the fat man, what do we need to do next to rescue Sister Ning and the others, and find Master Liu.
The fat man thought about it and said, "We have to break the formation!" β
Before leaving, Xiaodou gave us some more bullets and said some words of blessing. Then he asked me and the fat man if we needed to call some more brothers down, and the fat man refused. In the words of the fat man, breaking this underground formation is no longer a large number of people, it is about skill, and as many people come in vain.
I heard the lack of confidence in the fat man's words, in order not to worry Yiyi, who was pulling Xiaoqian, after leaving Xiaodou and the five of them, I secretly asked the fat man, how sure I was.
The fat man was silent for a while and said, "Xiao Su, underground formations like this are very common in some ancient tombs. Generally, as long as you are careful, you can break it, and I haven't encountered it before! However, not to mention that this city is full of weirdness, even the scale of this gossip city is also something I have never seen before. You're going to ask me how sure I am! β
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "I can only depend on my fate!" β
After listening to the fat man's words, I had mixed feelings in my heart. The meaning of Aunt Ming conveyed to me by Xiaodou is to do what you can. The underground world here should have nothing to do with the "Headless Country" organization we want to investigate, and the Zhao Tuo Underground Palace in Yongzhou, Hunan. There's another in that
There is an unsolved mystery, and this mystery is related to the "code of life". I don't know where Aunt Ming got this conclusion, but the trust in her is inexplicable.
Soon, the four of us walked to the bridge again, and my original suggestion was to let Yiyi and Xiaoqian follow Xiaodou to wait for me and the fat man at the "Divine Furnace". However, Yiyi is very stubborn, and there is nothing I can do with her character. Xiaoqian can't be persuaded even more, if I want to break the formation with the fat man, she will definitely follow me.
Aunt Ming's entrustment had no effect on the fat man and Yiyi at all. Although this place has little to do with what we want to investigate, here is Yiyi's father, the fat man's master! They want to go in, and I have to follow.
Standing at the head of the bridge again, Xiaodou, a few kilometers away behind them, was already hidden in the ghostly light, and they couldn't see clearly. A few dozen meters in front of me was the walls of this city, dark and deep, as if it had merged with the darkness.
Strangely enough, I have the impression that on the right hand side of the bridge, the gate with the inscription "Dumen" that we had entered earlier became very far away from us, and a long part of our left and right was filled with black walls.
I took a deep breath and asked the fat man what was going on. Before we even started to walk deeper into the city, we encountered something so strange.
The fat man just replied to me lightly: "The formation has been activated, this city is alive!" β
I said angrily, "Can you fucking make it clear, what are we going to do in a while?" β
The fat man patted his chest, said to me and Yiyi, as well as Xiao Qian, who looked down at the ground, and said: "You have to believe in my strength to touch Jinzhang, besides, Yiyi is not afraid, you are a big man who is afraid of a ball!" If you're going to be afraid, I've got a solution. β
As he spoke, he took out a bundle of rope from his backpack, shook it in the air, and said, "Before entering the city in a while, we can tie the bodies of the four of us with ropes, so that we are grasshoppers on a rope." Fried together, fried together. β
I thought to myself, what a fucking good idea!
Before I could say fat, I heard Yiyi say: "Senior brother, I know what you want to do, don't be poor, time is pressing!" β
The fat man laughed dryly twice, and walked towards me with the rope in his hand. I yelled, "Dead fatty, don't fucking play!" You're really going to tie us together! β
As I stepped back and watched the fat man grin, I weighed for a moment how I could break free of his strength so that he wouldn't tie the rope to me. As a result, the fat man stopped facing me when he reached the bridge, turned his head and stopped at the side of the bridge, and tied the rope to the bridgehead post. Then he straightened the rope and walked to the wall.
I took a breath, calmed my mind, and turned to look at Yiyi with an inquiring look.
Yiyi smiled helplessly, and said, "Su Mo, my senior brother is teasing you, he is looking for a position in other formations!" When I was younger, although I hated these feng shui books, I was particularly interested in some formations and ancient history. I've seen my father use this "Five Elements Gossip."
plate", I didn't expect to pass it on to my senior brother. β
Only then did I put my mind at ease and knew that the fat man would not mess around!
After tying one end of the rope, the fat man quickly walked to the base of the city wall, and then picked up a small stone and tied it to the other end of the rope. After throwing it vigorously several times, he threw it into the city wall.
I said in my heart, this is also the fat man's strength, if it were me, I am afraid that such a big stone, coupled with this three-meter-high city wall, I will not be able to get into it no matter what!
After this series of actions was completed, the fat man put the "Five Elements Bagua Plate" that he had taken out on top of the taut rope. He was careful not to let go until the copper disc had stabilized on the rope.
At first, I thought that the fat man would quickly point to the "Five Elements Bagua Plate" as in "Dumen", but unexpectedly, after the copper plate stabilized, the fat man began to retreat to our position.
Then! I saw that the copper plate was spinning on its own, and it was no slower than the fat man had just clicked on it!
Once again, I was so struck by the mystery of the gold-touching sect that I could not speak until the copper plate stopped.
I only heard the fat man say after stopping at the copper plate: "Found it!" β
