Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 210, Into the Mountain
"Well, I'll admit your favor." Sha Lao nodded, and at the same time looked up at the sky. When he saw this, my heart immediately sank, and I felt that Sha Lao was not eyeing me. Sure enough, he saw him stretch out his hand and beckon into the air, and immediately Gou Chen controlled the demon beast to fly down from the air. I immediately shouted, "Hey, what are you doing down there?" I didn't call you either! ”
Landing next to the boat, Sha Lao looked at us and said, "Ba Xiaoshan, go in with me." ”
I immediately sighed, and sure enough, it was still eyeing me, I was sure that I would go wherever it was dangerous, and reluctantly climbed off the back of the demon beast and stood on the periphery of the evil aura next to the boat. opened his mouth and said: "Sha Lao, I don't have much use, you better find Ying Long to accompany you, it won't make any difference if I go." ”
Sha Lao glanced at me and said, "Don't talk nonsense." One, lock up the Rakshasa for the time being, and then let Team Zero return to the cabin. From now on, the fleet will be in charge of you until we return. ”
I'm surprised, Sha Lao didn't bring Jiayi into the mountain, first, Jiayi is the person he trusts the most, and secondly, Jiayi's ability is also obvious to all, is it guarding against Jiayi? This shouldn't be, Uncle Jia has followed Sha Lao for so many years, Sha Lao has no need to guard against him. That should be Ying Long's group zero and the evil rakshasa to prevent it, although the former has no bad intentions but is too difficult to control and often messes around, and the latter is even more dangerous, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big bomb.
"Listen to your orders." A nodded. Then he walked to the glass cabinet of the evil rakshasa and put the leopard head lock back on, and the moment the lock was closed, the black evil qi that spread around slowly flowed back into the glass cabinet under the pressure of the Buddha seal released by the trumpets. Then A Yi put a large cloth on the glass cabinet, and the evil spirit dissipated, and the boxy cabinet looked like an ordinary cabinet.
B Er put on a coat for Sha Lao, and then a lifeboat sailed to the side of the main ship, Sha Lao boarded the boat with the support of three bodyguards, I reluctantly followed, Uncle A walked up quickly, and stuffed a key into my pocket, I was surprised and looked at him suspiciously. He smiled and said, "Sha Lao entrusted it to you." ”
I paused, and for no reason, I felt as if my shoulders were suddenly much heavier, and the sudden responsibility that fell on my shoulders made me feel a sense of surprise. But the matter has come to this, I want to refuse, but no one agrees, so I can only nod and say: "My people are on another frigate, Uncle Jia, you let me take care of Sha Lao, I naturally have nothing to say, but please also take care of my people, especially Yuan Feng, who is seriously injured, please ask your doctor to help her take a look." ”
"Okay." Jia Yi didn't talk nonsense, nodded and agreed. I boarded the lifeboat and stood beside Sha Lao, and two powerful bodyguards rowed the boat forward. There is still some distance from the main ship to the demon mountain, the demon king sneered and turned around and walked into the mountain, and we were greeted by those monsters full of killing intent and appetite, of course, in this situation, they did not dare to make a move at us.
"Sit down." Sha Lao motioned for me to sit next to him, and I was not polite, as soon as I sat down, I took out the key and opened the chain, reached out and wiped a handful of seawater to wipe off the rune paper and marks on my head, and immediately felt that the blocked meridians were slowly recovering, and the aura began to swim in the body.
"Sha Lao, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, I am afraid that you will blame me, not to mention that I am panicked in my heart." I hesitated for a moment and said.
"Say it." Sha Lao replied indifferently.
"Why do you always want to pull me in, or in other words, why do you always want me to take over the 507 Institute. In the past, I thought that you had no one under your hands, and you needed my external force to help you deal with the Scorpion King Zhaoqu. But when I looked at it today, I realized that there are more hole cards in your hand, and Ying Long is so capable, it should be enough to be your successor. "I may be the only one who dares to talk to Sha Lao like this, the old Red Army, who has fought countless battles large and small, presided over the work of the 507 Institute for decades, has no heirs and no spouse, such Sha Lao is respected by all the people around him. Even Deputy Director Xia has said in private more than once that if Sha Lao is ten years younger, he will definitely not have the heart to replace him, and the reason why he dares to covet Sha Lao's position now is entirely because Sha Lao has reached the end of his life, and he has not yet determined his successor.
Even those who rely on Sha Lao's relationships and big names are more of an equal attitude when treating Sha Lao, I have seen real people in Maoshan talking and laughing with Sha Lao, and from time to time they will pour tea for Sha Lao.
I spoke so casually that Oji, who was rowing next to me, couldn't help but scold, "Pay attention to your tone!" ”
At this time, I realized that I was too casual, and scratched my head a little embarrassed, but Sha Lao waved his hand and said: "I know what you want to ask, if you can be the director as long as you have enough strength, then I shouldn't be in this position, in the entire 507 Institute, I'm afraid the most useless person is me." Sick, weak, and walking with crutches......"
There must have been other meanings in his words, but I was too young at the time, and there were some things that I needed to experience, and what I lacked was experience.
The lifeboat docked, and under the surveillance of a group of demon clans around him, Sha Lao calmly took the lead into the demon mountain. After walking inside, I saw a big cave five or six meters high, the cave was blocked by a boulder, and on both sides of the cave entrance stood some tall, muscular but strange monsters. As we got closer, they came up to us and sniffed at us, then whispered, "Weapons...... All...... Hand it over. ”
I don't speak fluently, and I don't seem to be too smart, but a few winged demons fell from the sky and took away the Tushan knife and a few treasures behind me. I didn't resist, and I didn't have much effect when I really fought, mainly relying on the three bodyguard uncles.
"Open the door!" Seeing that our fog had been cleared, the monster opened its mouth and shouted, and then the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave was moved slowly, revealing the dark passage inside.
When we reached the entrance of the cave, we saw that the leader of the monster who had been almost killed by the evil spirit was waiting at the entrance of the cave, and had changed back to human form, and when he saw us, he turned around and said, "Follow me, don't walk around, your every move will be monitored, and anything out of the ordinary will invite death." ”
The passage is very long, there are no torches, only a faint light, but fortunately, the ground is quite flat, although you can't see the road ahead, you can still walk by groping. I walked next to Sha Lao and asked, "What kind of status do you have in the Demon Mountain?" ”
It was silent at first, and after I asked it several times, it replied coldly: "There is only one king in the demon mountain, and I am one of the three leaders under the king's seat. ”
I nodded, three leaders, there are three more who seem to be similar to its ability, if this is a fight, a bodyguard uncle should be similar to a leader, then the demon king is estimated to be able to kill me and Sha Lao, the situation is even worse than I imagined.
"We're here." Just as I was thinking about something, the monster leader shouted, and at the same time took the lead out of the dark passage, and at this moment we can be regarded as entering the core area of the demon mountain. A huge lifting platform appeared in front of us, crudely made, with a large wooden bottom and ropes tied to the four corners, with a torch lit in the middle. Looking up, this lifting platform seems to lead straight to the height of the Demon Mountain.
"Go up." The youkai leader said.
Sha Lao walked slowly up to the platform on crutches, and when we stood firm, the platform began to rise slowly, and at this moment I noticed that holes appeared in the walls around me like honeycomb coal, and from time to time there was a strange light in the holes, accompanied by a hostile roar and even a roar. The air was filled with an uncomfortable stench, like blood, decomposing corpses, and feces.
"You demon mountains don't pay attention to hygiene." I muttered.
The monster leader ignored me, and the whole ascent was quite boring, and with the roars one after another, the few of us were as quiet as sculptures.
