Chapter 172: Death as Scheduled (Part I)
Tang Qianlin and the others lurked on the bank of the bronze forest, watching Kyoji Miyake's Japanese brigade walk towards the cylinder.
Tang Qianlin looked left and right, and motioned for everyone to keep quiet and not say anything no matter what happened.
Tang Qianlin noticed that Qian Sinian was also in the team, held by two Japanese military policemen, and his wounds had been bandaged, but judging from his state, he should have just deliberately dragged him to prevent him from dying, maybe he was keeping it to blackmail himself, or maybe he was preparing to use Qian Sinian as cannon fodder.
After Kyoji Miyake and the others came to the cylinder, Victor immediately walked around the cylinder, taking pictures as he went.
Kyoji Miyake asked Masaji Maeda in a low voice, "Maeda-kun, do you know what this thing is?" ”
Maeda shook his head.
Helpless, Kyoji Miyake had to pin his hopes on Victor.
Victor observed for a long time and said, "I've seen something like this before. ”
Kyoji Miyake asked, "Something similar?" Where is it? ”
When the two were talking, Ye Feng lay beside Tang Qianlin and translated the conversation in a low voice to inform him.
Victor looked at the cylinder and said, "A few years ago, we got a piece of information that supernatural powers were found in Peru in South America, so I led a team to Peru and found a strange ruin in the mountains of Haimakal in the south of Peru......"
The ruins were not large, but they were clearly destroyed, and after investigation, Victor and many German experts concluded that the ruins were destroyed by a strong local earthquake.
According to the few local documents, Peru has had many earthquakes in history, but there are few major earthquakes recorded at the time, so it is not known exactly when the site was destroyed.
However, Victor discovers two notable features in the ruins, the first being a collapsed and broken cylinder, and the second being a door in the wall of a mountain.
Victor said: "The size of the cylinder is similar to the one we see now, but the pattern on it is not quite the same, the most important thing is the door on the stone wall, the stone wall is flat, very smooth, it stands to reason that this smoothness should be artificially polished, but after our investigation, we found that even according to the current technology, it is impossible not to leave any traces of polishing." ”
Maeda asked on the side, "What do you mean?" ”
Victor said: "That is to say, the mountain wall is as neat and smooth as a piece of butter that has been cut in half by a hot knife, the back half is a mountain, and the front half is a plane that has been cut, and that plane is obviously like a door, 8 meters high and 6 meters wide, and in the middle of this stone door, there is a small door that is recessed in, the inside of the small door is sealed, but the small door is just enough to accommodate an adult." ”
Victor and the others found a lot of artifacts left over from an unknown age, most of these utensils were bronze, and a small number of stone and iron tools, which seemed to have been peeled off from some large object.
After Victor and others investigated deeply, they found that there was a local legend that a priest from the Incas took a golden disc from a mysterious temple, and this disc contained a way to see the gods.
When the priest arrived, he met a group of mysterious people, who recognized the disc in his hand and told him that God had led him here and that it was time for him to leave.
One night, the mysterious group of men led the priest to the stone door and read the incantation on the disc in a special language, and soon after that a blue light shot out of the stone door, and then the priest followed the blue light into the stone door and disappeared from it.
Kyoji Miyake looked at Victor with disbelief, but Masaji Maeda listened attentively, after all, he had personally been to the Snow Ridge and had seen unexplained phenomena.
Victor continued: "In Peruvian legend, the golden disc is the key to open the stone door, which can lead to another world, the so-called God's Domain, so that stone gate is called the Gate of the Gods in Peru, and legend has it that the Inca heroes entered another world through this door, where they gained great power, and then came back and led their people to victory in the war. ”
When Kyoji Miyake heard this, he said, "In that case, why don't they go in once and come back with their strength to defeat the Spaniards?" ”
This was obviously a sarcastic remark, but it did not touch Victor in any way, but he replied earnestly: "Perhaps there is some other special reason, in any case, I have studied the stone gate, and found that the stone contains many substances that cannot be known by modern scientific means." ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "So, what do you think of this thing in front of you?" ”
Victor pondered for a moment and said, "This pillar either leads to the top or to the bottom, that is, we only have two paths to choose. ”
Isn't this nonsense? Kyoji Miyake thought to himself that where we were, there were only two options.
At this time, Bei Zihong slowly climbed to Tang Qianlin's side and said in a low voice: "This pillar is called the Heavenly Palace Pillar, do you know the legend of the Heavenly Palace War in shamanism?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Of course you know, what do you want to say?" ”
Beizi Hong said: "There is a very important factor in the Battle of the Heavenly Palace, that is, the Python God. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Python God?" ”
Beizi Hong said: "Yes, python god." This kind of Tiangong pillar person can't climb up, he can only ride on the back of the python god, and the python god will be wrapped around the Tiangong pillar and crawl slowly, and finally reach the end, but in the atlas I saw, the python god is climbing down, that is, we have to go down. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "You don't need to say this. ”
Bei Zihong smiled and said, "The key question is, how do we deal with these Japanese? They are numerous and well-armed. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Let them explore the road first, which can reduce unnecessary casualties." ”
Bei Zihong said: "That will also let them take the lead." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "The advantage we have now is that they are confused here, and we know a little bit about it. ”
As he spoke, a loud roar came from the top of the cave, followed by a terrifying roar, and at the same time, countless night beasts burst out of the surrounding woods.
The arrival of the night beasts made Tang Qianlin, Kyoji Miyake and the others nervous, but those night beasts climbed towards the bronze tree one after another, and many of them still had their cubs in their mouths.
Tang Qianlin looked at the top of the cave and said, "Oh no, the water is coming down." ”
"Water?" Bei Zihong looked at Tang Qianlin suspiciously, "What water?" ”
Tang Qianlin hurriedly instructed the people around him: "Hurry up the tree, climb to it, the sooner the better!" Hurry up, hurry up! ”
Everyone chose the nearest bronze tree, and while climbing quickly, the terrifying roar like thunder became more and more piercing, and began to shake people's headaches, and the roar like a monster also came from a distance.
Tang Qianlin had just climbed the tree and stood firm, but he found that there was a flashlight on the opposite side of the river bank below, and it was too late for him to dodge.
The Japanese soldier holding a flashlight on the opposite side spotted Tang Qianlin and immediately shouted.
Hearing this, Kyoji Miyake also took a flashlight to shine it, and after sweeping it, he found Tang Qianlin and others on the bronze tree on the opposite riverbank.
"Tang Qianlin!" Kyoji Miyake showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time, "You finally appeared!" ”
Because of the roar, Tang Qianlin couldn't hear what Kyoji Miyake was saying at all, but vaguely saw those soldiers aiming their guns at him.
"What should I do?" An Ran grabbed the branch and looked at Tang Qianlin, "We are now a living target!" ”
Tang Qianlin looked in the direction where the roar came from: "It's okay, after the water comes over later, we will be safe!" ”
Kyoji Miyake fired a shot into the air, and continued to threaten Tang Qianlin to get off the tree, he needed Tang Qianlin more than ever, he knew very well that without Tang Qianlin, in this place, not to mention finding the last secret, it would be difficult to even survive.
Kyoji Miyake turned his head to look at Oda-kun: "Oda-kun! Order Pranyo to arrest Tang Qianlin back! ”
Before Oda could reply, a Japanese soldier ran towards him, shouting as he ran, "Water! The water is coming! It's water! ”
Kyoji Miyake looked ahead, and although he didn't see clearly, he heard a roar like a flood.
Kyoji Miyake finally understood why Tang Qianlin and the others went up to the tree, he didn't care so much, and climbed up the tree next to him, and Maeda Masaji and the rest followed suit.
Prajna Nissen carried Oda Jun on his shoulder, easily climbed to the top of a tree, and then sat there, watching the flood attack below.
The moment the flood washed from afar, the Tiangong pillar also gradually rose, Tang Qianlin saw that there were four gaps under the Tiangong pillar, which should correspond to the direction of the four rivers, and the flood also swept a lot of Japanese soldiers who didn't have time to go up the trees and rushed directly into the gap.
The people on the bronze tree watched all this in amazement, not knowing what the specific function of this Tiangong pillar was?
However, one thing is certain, but it is not known whether the gap leads to the bottom, but it is not known whether it is the third layer or something else.
The flood water slowly flowed under the Tiangong pillar, and the water level gradually dropped, Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan glanced at each other, immediately jumped into the water, and swam into the distance, they knew very well that once the flood receded, the Japanese would attack them.
"Yunfan! Walk! Tang Qianlin stopped Li Yunfan, who was still in a daze, and then jumped into the water with An Ran.
The rest of the people also jumped down, and Kyoji Miyake on the opposite bank shone a flashlight on this side, and when he saw that they were about to run, he picked up the submachine gun in his hand and began to shoot.
The moment the submachine gun swept past, Li Qingxiang was shot in the leg and fell directly into the water and disappeared.
"Daddy!" Li Yunfan threw himself into the water and dived down to look for it carefully, but he couldn't find any trace of Li Qingxiang.
Yefeng also stepped forward to find it, and at the same time instructed Li Yunfan: "Yunfan, you go quickly!" I'll stay with your father! Come on! ”
Kyoji Miyake also jumped into the water and gave an order to the others: "Cross the river and chase it!" Don't let Tang Qianlin and them run away! Hurry up! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
In the face of the menacing Japanese army such as Kyoji Miyake, Tang Qianlin couldn't care so much, so he had to take An Ran and others to dive and retreat first.
