Chapter 169: The Bronze Forest (I)
Tang Qianlin looked up at the hole above, where the hole leading to the city above had been sealed, but there was still water dripping down the edge.
"Enron!" Tang Qianlin slid down from the tree, "When it rains? Summer Frost! Li Yunfan! Master! Where are you? ”
Tang Qianlin walked among the trees, shouting constantly, and finally heard Tang Yushi's response after a long time: "Dad, I'm here, Aunt An Ran is also here, we're fine." ”
Tang Qianlin looked for the sound to find Tang Yushi and An Ran, who had not yet recovered, checked it, and found that An Ran was fine, but after some bruises, he said, "You stay still, I'll go find someone else." ”
Tang Qianlin searched around, and after finding Li Yunfan, Li Qingxiang and Yefeng, with the help of the three, he found Xia Shuang again.
It's just that Xia Shuang broke one of her arms when she landed, and she couldn't move because she leaned there.
"What about Yan Liuyan?" Tang Qianlin looked around, "Master Yan? Yan Liuyan! ”
No one answered, only Tang Qianlin's voice echoed among the bronze trees, through the branches, and was swallowed up by the darkness.
Under a bronze tree not far away, Yan Liuyan took out a compass and carefully judged the direction, turned a deaf ear to Tang Qianlin's shouts, and then found a relatively dry place to sit down and rest: "Master Hong, where have you been?" Why haven't you come yet? ”
After Tang Qianlin gathered everyone, Ye Feng asked while inspecting Xia Shuang, "Qianlin, how did we come down just now?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "After I dived into the hole with Yushi before, I found that there were fan blades in the hole, and there were caves of the same size on both sides above the fan blades, I swam to the mouth of the cave and reached out to touch it, and found that the water inside was cold, so I concluded that it was the water outlet, and the water should be drawn from the Songhua River." ”
Li Yunfan asked wonderingly, "And then?" ”
"Why are there fan blades? When I thought about this problem, my first reaction was that all the mechanisms in the Shaman's Spirit Palace, and even the things to be operated, were run by water power, so the so-called city above should be a dam. Tang Qianlin explained in detail, "First fill the whole city, that is, the cave above, and then open the gate to release water into the cave where we are now, and the flow of water can drive the fan blades, which can make the fan blades rotate and generate power." ”
Li Qingxiang nodded and said, "Genius, the person who designed all this is really a genius." ”
An Ran coughed: "If we are any longer, once the water is released, we will be swept into the hole and strangled by the rotating fan blades." ”
Tang Qianlin got up and looked around: "So, I think that the entrance to the Yi family's mansion is actually a trap, you think about the previous situation, one was careless, got lost, and found that the city was filled with water, either drowned, or swept down." ”
Yefeng looked up: "We can only say that we are lucky, otherwise if we fall and don't fall to our death, we will be killed by these bronze trees." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, luck, I looked at the table below before, it has been two hours since we came down from above, and the ground around us is still very wet, which means that the water poured down from above has receded here." ”
Li Qingxiang looked at the bronze tree in front of him: "Why are there so many bronze trees here?" What the hell is this place? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Who knows, in short, let's find something to make a fire first, warm our bodies, eat something, we need enough rest before we can move on." ”
Li Yunfan said: "It's too humid here, there is nothing to make a fire, right?" The contents of our bags were all wet, and we could barely use the ones that could make a fire. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Then you have to find a way, go around and look for it." ”
At the same time, in the ancient tomb of the underworld, the Japanese army has brought aqua regia, which is slowly eroding the white wall.
Kyoji Miyake sat next to the walkie-talkie, waiting for Maeda Masaji's report, and from time to time raised his eyes to look at Kitako Hong and Ye Da, who were guarded by the Japanese army not far away.
Bei Zihong observed the Japanese army, and then whispered to Ye Da: "Kyoji Miyake has probably discovered something. ”
Ye Da said: "Don't talk nonsense, if he found out that something was wrong, he would have taken people away a long time ago, how could he corrode the walls here?" ”
Bei Zihong sneered: "Pig brain, didn't you find that an important person is missing?" ”
"Who?" Ye Da looked around, "You said Maeda Masaji?" ”
Bei Zihong said: "I calculated the number of Miyake Kyoji's troops before, and it has obviously decreased a lot, which shows that he has found something, so I decided to keep quiet for the time being, and I will plan for us." ”
Ye Dadao: "Then let's prepare to run, if we don't run, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Bei Zihong said: "Since Miyake Kyoji is pretending to be stupid, it is better for us to pretend to be stupid, Ye Da, let's abandon our previous suspicions and cooperate once." ”
Ye Dadao: "Cooperate with you?" Then I might as well die. ”
Bei Zihong said: "If we don't cooperate, I'm afraid we will really die." ”
The walkie-talkie in Kyoji Miyake's hand rang, and he immediately picked it up: "How is it?" ”
Maeda Masaji on the other end of the walkie-talkie reported: "General, as you speculated, the Yi family's mansion is indeed empty, and we have also found an entrance in the cellar, waiting for your instructions. ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "You take someone to chase!" But remember, if you find something you can't solve, retreat immediately, don't be reckless, and save your life is the most important thing. ”
Maeda Masaji said, "Understood. ”
After Maeda Masaji put down the walkie-talkie, he just looked at the entrance to the dark room in the cellar and did not give any orders.
The captain of the Sanhe team on the side stepped forward and asked, "Shaozuo, are we going in?" ”
"No, you can't go in." Maeda Masaji finally made a decision, "You take a few people to guard the entrance, and ask the people from the security bureau outside to seal the house and not allow anyone to enter or leave." ”
The team leader was puzzled and asked, "Why don't we go in?" ”
Maeda Masaji got up and said, "Without the accompaniment of experts, if we enter this kind of place, we are looking for death." ”
The team leader said: "Shaozuo, are you too worried?" ”
Maeda Masaji didn't know how to explain to the team leader, because of the experience of Xuefengling, he knew very well that in the face of that strange environment, without the guidance of people like Tang Qianlin, whether it was the soldiers of the Three Rivers Team or the elite German paratroopers, it would be a dead end.
Therefore, the only option was for him to return to the ancient tomb of the underworld with his people, and enter from there accompanied by Bei Zihong and Ye Da.
Provided, of course, if there is access to the Shamanic Spirit Palace.
The wall of the tomb was finally corroded by the strong acid, and the soldiers buckled off the bricks one by one and placed them next to them until they dug out an entrance for three people to enter side by side, then stopped and reported to Kyoji Miyake.
At the same time, Masaji Maeda also brought people back to Hades.
Kyoji Miyake looked at the entrance, smelling the fishy stench coming from inside, and finally took off the gas mask after measuring the air environment and neutralizing the poison gas.
The soldiers brought Bei Zihong and Ye Da forward, and Miyake Kyoji said, "The wall has been dug up, now please ask the old gentleman to give advice." ”
When Kitako Hong was about to step forward, Maeda Masaji and two Mikawa soldiers immediately followed.
Bei Zihong gave Ye Da a look, which meant that once he entered, he would immediately find a way to get out.
But just after Bei Zihong and Ye Da were escorted into the broken wall by Maeda Masaji's men, a sudden gust of wind struck, and then a black shadow flashed, and a Japanese soldier was taken away at the same time.
Bei Zihong and the others immediately lay down, and then heard the screams of the Japanese soldier getting farther and farther away, followed by the sound of something being torn.
Everyone present was stunned, and Kyoji Miyake was also dumbfounded, and subconsciously asked, "What was that just now?" ”
No one answered, and no one could answer.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers around him didn't move, Bei Zihong lightly touched Xia Yeda with his foot, and then suddenly bounced up and ran directly into the darkness.
Bei Zihong got up and fled, the soldiers next to him immediately raised their guns and fired, Ye Da took advantage of their attention on Bei Zihong, pulled away the hidden grenade, stayed in place, turned around and rolled to the side.
After the grenade exploded, Ye Da pulled his legs and ran wildly into the darkness, didn't run for more than ten meters, hit his head on something, and suddenly fell to the ground, dizzy and couldn't get up for half a day.
Listening to the dense gunfire behind him, Ye Da lay on the ground, and finally recovered, only then did he see clearly that it was a bronze tree.
"Bronze Tree!?" Ye Da was stunned, a bullet grazed his ear, he quickly held his head and hid to the side, and after observing the surrounding environment, he leaned over and continued to escape.
The moment the gunfire came, Tang Qianlin and the others in the bronze bush got up suddenly, looked at the source of the gunshot, and although they couldn't see the light of the bullet, they could hear the sound clearly.
"Oops." Tang Qianlin looked into the distance and said, "Listen to the gunshots, the Japanese have come in." ”
Li Qingxiang wondered: "How could the Japanese chase so fast?" ”
Tang Qianlin only then told what Huang Jia said in the underworld.
Li Qingxiang scolded when he heard this: "Damn! That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? ”
"It's not a coincidence, we didn't expect it in the first place." Tang Qianlin shook his head and said, "The Shaman Spirit Palace is under the urban area of Harbin, and it is already accessible in all directions, if the Japanese had known about it and discovered what the puppet Manchurian government was doing, it is estimated that they would have dug out the passage long ago." ”
Xia Shuang asked, "What now?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "They are in the light, we are in the dark, as long as we don't fight each other, we have an advantage here, after all, the Japanese don't understand the subtleties of this environment." ”
Kyoji Miyake really didn't understand the subtleties of this kind of place, but the unknown thing that suddenly appeared before, and he didn't know his appearance, and he didn't know his whereabouts took the life of the soldier in an instant, which made him know that the experience of Masaji Maeda and Victor and others in the Snow Sealed Ridge was not alarmist, nor was there the slightest exaggeration in it.
"Maeda Shaoza." Kyoji Miyake beckoned Maeda Masaji to come to him, "Now here, only you are the most experienced, and the next thing is up to you." ”
Maeda Masaji hesitated, and finally nodded, although he was completely unsure, but he had to send the arrow, and there was no other way than to lead the team in.
"Bring all your weapons and equipment!" Maeda Masaji instructed his men to get ready.
Kyoji Miyake looked at the broken wall and instructed Shimamoto Soyoshi: "Shimamoto Nakasa, after entering, fully obey Maeda Shaosa's command." ”
Although Shimamoto Muneyoshi was reluctant, he nodded in understanding.
