Chapter 91: The whirlpool separates its companions, and strange things happen to the strange cave
"What's the matter, where are you like a ghost, say it quickly!" Tu Shaoqun looked surprised when he saw us, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.
The three of us looked at each other, I don't know where to start, under Tu Shaoqun's repeated urging, I signaled to Xiao Fan, and she began to slowly explain the situation of the five forbidden places in detail.
As we all know, any sect and any industry has its forbidden areas or taboos that cannot be set foot in, just like the four major tomb robbing sects in the "chicken cries and lights go out and does not touch the gold", "the coffin, the bronze coffin, the eight characters are not hard and not close to the front" and so on. The Chinese treasure hunting world is no exception, thousands of years of inheritance, there will be no shortage of such things, the most famous, but also the most mysterious, is the five forbidden areas.
Recently, a few of us bravely entered the Moyang Victory Realm, desperately flowing in the Immortal Mountain, and the hardships and dangers of this are still palpitating when I think about it, and I still wake up in my dreams from time to time. But compared with the five forbidden places, these places are like the sun and moon in the sky, and like the fluorescent light on the earth, and they can never be said to be the same as the sun. Legend has it that each of the five forbidden places is a place of unpredictability, not to mention the official historical records, even the wild history, ancient books, and fragments are only a few words, and most of the stories are only circulated in the mouths of treasure hunters in the past generations, and these places are places that discourage the strongest treasure hunters.
The five forbidden places are located in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of ancient China, and they begin to be called the field of the golden toad, the forest of a thousand centipedes, the cave of the black mosquito, the abyss of the nine insects, and the land of ten thousand worms. These five names have a great origin, and the poisons in the names are all from the famous Chinese mythological classic "Ghost and God Citation", all of which represent the most ferocious and poisonous things, which is a terrifying portrayal of these five prohibitions.
Shicai glasses said, the extremely cold land may be one of the five forbidden places, and a place name flashed in my mind, I believe that Xiao Fan is the same, this is the abyss of the nine insects in the north. The nine insects do not refer to the huge insects with nine heads, but the strange birds in Chinese legends - the nine-headed ghost car, also known as the nine phoenixes. Nine insects, red color, like a duck, the big wings are wide, day blind night, a little cloudy, then fly by, love into the soul of people.
According to the ancient book "Mountains and Seas", in the wilderness, in the wilderness of the far north, the sea water bypasses the mountains and flows into the ocean in the north, and there is a spirit on the mountain, named Jiufeng, nine heads, human faces, bird bodies, fierce and cannibalistic spirits. These records all say that this thing is an obscure thing, a sinister and vicious monster, and likes to enter the people's homes to suck people's souls, of course, this may be an exaggeration of the ancients, but it also reflects the horror of this thing. It can be seen that the place named after it is naturally extremely sinister, if the abyss of the Nine Insects is really an extremely cold place, then we really have to weigh our own weight.
"After talking for a long time, what is that place like, have any of you seen it?" Tu Shaoqun asked.
It's true, what Xiao Fan said just now is a legend or the word of mouth of treasure hunters throughout the ages, without any real basis, let alone who has seen it with his own eyes or experienced it himself. Seeing Tu Shaoqun ask such a question, several of us couldn't help but shake our heads.
"That's it. I don't think it's useful to talk too much about it now, the key is to figure out exactly where that place is. Tu Shaoqun preached again.
A word woke up the person in the dream, and several of us only worried about how dangerous the place we were going to be, but we ignored the most important point, that is, if we couldn't even find the place, everything we said was empty talk. Tu Shaoqun was originally a soldier, he had led troops to fight for many years, he paid attention to practicality, and he would hit with one blow, plus he was not a traditional treasure hunter, and he would not think about problems from the perspective of traditional treasure hunting, which was exactly what he said. This is exactly what the so-called authorities are fans of, and bystanders are clear.
"The captain is right, the top priority is to clarify two points first, one is to exclude the Arctic Ocean, and the other is to determine the specific location of the Nine Insects Abyss, otherwise it is useless to say more, it is all on paper." I said to them.
The three of them all nodded in agreement, and Xiao Fan said; "The first step is simple, there are people in the Zhang family in the scientific expedition team, and there are investigation projects in the near future, when we can let the news come over, and we can collect information in the early stage to corroborate. This second step is a bit difficult. ”
"That's right, these five forbidden places are legends that have been passed down for a long time, and there is no reference to them. Just now I tried to compare with my information base, and the results are too many to make sense. "The glasses looked a little frustrated.
I nodded and said, "You're all right, but I think there's still something important that needs to be dealt with first, get rid of the traitor!" ”
All three of them exclaimed: "Get rid of the adulterer! ”
I smiled at them and said, "That's good." I thought about it for a long time, why our actions are often known in advance, especially in the last few times, it can be said that as soon as we discussed a result on the front foot, someone sent us a message, so I concluded that there was a mole in the Zhang family. ”
Xiao Fan asked anxiously: "Brother Long, this is not a joke, do you have evidence?" ”
"Xiaofan, don't worry, listen to me slowly. Every time we discuss the details of the operation, most of them are in this chamber, so there are not many people who can leak secrets! I smiled confidently.
Xiao Fan blurted out: "Then who are you talking about, our Zhang family will not tolerate it!" After speaking, he patted his head, "Look at me, you have said that you have leaked the secret here, and I will let you say it here." Go, there's a place that absolutely no one knows. ”
I stopped Xiao Fan, who turned to leave, and said, "No, it's here." Come here! ”
All three of them approached me, gathered in a circle, and I began to write on the table with water, gesturing as I went. The three of them first showed a look of surprise, and then gritted their teeth, especially Xiao Fan, who stared at a pair of phoenix eyes and said, "The Zhang family will definitely not let go of these bastards." ”
I said to the three of them, "Now you see, we're going to go according to plan." At this time, only a "beep" sound was heard, and an icon appeared on the computer display of the glasses, showing a new message.
Glasses said: "This is the private mailbox I agreed with Chiyoko, used for emergency contact, first-level encryption, ordinary people can't intercept it, something must be wrong." After speaking, I clicked on it and saw that it was a video file, on which was a Chiyoko dressed as an onmyoji, with an anxious look.
"Kim, Ryusang, Mitsui-kun has an accident. Five days ago, he came to Huaxia from the sea to look for you, and he lost the news halfway, and now he can't be contacted. The final location of his ship showed that they had entered some mysterious area, and the entire ship had vanished. I'm going to go to him now, and I hope you'll help me while we meet at this location. "Synchronized with the video, there is also the coordinates of the sea surface.
After reading the content of the message, we were a little confused. Mitsui contacted the glasses some time ago, saying that he was coming to discuss something with us, and he also said that he came from the sea, but Huaxia and the Waguo sea route are so far away, how could there be an accident, things must not be as simple as they seem.
Glasses was a little at a loss every time she touched Chiyoko's affairs, and asked, "Xiaolong, what should we do?" ”
I paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and said, "Anyway, Mitsui is our friend, and I think we should give it a hand." Since there is no clue about the extremely cold land for the time being, I think it is better to go and meet Chiyoko first and find Mitsui. ”
Xiaofan and the glasses agreed with my idea, especially the glasses, and immediately began to operate on the computer, and soon had a result. "Xiaolong, look, there is something strange about the place where Mitsui disappeared." He said, pointing to the screen.
We looked over and found that the coordinates showed that it was somewhere in the South China Sea. I frowned and said, "It's strange, why did he run away to the South China Sea." Come to us from the Yellow Sea or directly from the East China Sea, how can we run farther and farther. ”
"Yes, the Japanese people have never done useless work, I think this thing is really a bit unusual, maybe there is really another article." Xiao Fan also said.
Tu Shaoqun began to be a little impatient, and said with a little emotion: "Wait, wait, I understand, dare to love this woman just now from the devil's side." I'll tell you, none of these things are good. ”
For Tu Shaoqun's words, we can't have anything to refute, on the contrary, we express quite understanding, even the glasses are just silent, without any superfluous words. Otherwise, with his relationship with Chiyoko, he wouldn't be polite to anyone who wants to speak ill of her.
"Captain, we all understand your feelings. At first, I thought the same as you, that these would-be people were not good birds. But after all, these things have passed for decades, and Mitsui and we have experienced life and death, believe me, they are not bad people. I tapped him on the shoulder.
Tu Shaoqun's eyes were still not angry, and he slammed the table with a fist in his left hand, "Anyway, I can't get over it in my heart, I swore that I would kill one of the devils when I saw them." But I believe that Brother Long, you are a person, you can not embarrass these people, but don't want me to save them, I will not participate in this matter. If anything else, call me again! ”
After Tu Shaoqun finished speaking, he turned around and left, Xiao Fan still wanted to stay again, I gently grabbed her and shook my head at him. "Glasses, understand him more, after going through that era, this hurdle is not so easy to pass, not to mention that he is still a soldier, and he has done it with them with real swords and guns." I turned to my glasses and said.
"I know, and I naturally don't blame him." Then when will we leave, I'm afraid that something will change if it's late. ”
I just replied, the computer of the glasses made another "beep" sound, we all looked at the screen curiously, the glasses quickly tapped a few times on the keyboard, the glasses widened and said, "Oh my God, what is this!" ”
